The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to form a fleet to go to sea, but no one in the Ganlu Hall objected to this.

"Even if later generations have breeding and selection methods, scientific fertilizers, and new cultivation techniques......

Du Ruhui paused and said:

"But even without all of this, the yield per mu of corn is more than double that of rice and wheat."

For a heavy agrarian empire, the allure of this alone is extraordinary.

And if you calculate it carefully, now there are cans and maps, and the Wuyalou ship is quite praised even by later generations, which can ensure that the combat power is safe, coupled with careful navigation along the coast, the risk should not be large, the only problem is that the round trip may have to be in years.

But...... Recruit those who dare to be!

Li Shimin no longer hesitated, and decided on the spot:

After all the things were done today, I pulled Liu Renliang to talk to him, and sent him to the sea division to assess whether he could go to sea by the way.

If feasible, a long-distance fleet will be formed to explore the West, find the "Geometric Original", gather foreign talents, promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and explore the news of the Americas.

If you return quickly, maybe you can take Master Xuanzang and his party with you when you pass through India.

After making up his mind, Li Shimin looked back at the word Malthusian trap, and he also had his own opinion on it.

As an emperor, governance and annexation affect the vital interests of the royal family, so Li Shimin can be said to empathize with this trap narrative, and he has become more and more clear.

The longer the Taiping world lasts, the more serious the annexation will become.

The younger generations previously said that the feudal society was a cannibalistic society, and Li Shimin thought so.

The Wang family, the Xie family, and the Sima family during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are all examples that are still in front of us.

Harming the world and enriching one's own family is the most appropriate description of these surnames.

They are like a group of fat people who only know how to eat, first eat the township, and then eat the state and county, and eat the country weak, and finally it is difficult to protect themselves.

But Li Shimin also knows that no matter how prosperous his studies are, it is impossible for everyone to be a saint, and the cannibalism that later generations said is still unavoidable.

In this case, it's better to let them out to eat outsiders than to eat the people of the Tang Dynasty, right?

However, the premise of these still depends on the outcome of the opening of the sea.

[In addition to the few crosses in the annals of the Battle of Baijiangkou, another thing related to this is the "Tang Liu Renyuan Ji Gong Monument".

And this stele is also quite bumpy to say, because Liu Renyuan's final outcome was exile in Yunnan, and his name has not appeared in the annals of history since then.

However, following the praise of this monument, I can make another guess:

Tang's loss of the Korean Peninsula is likely to be related to Liu Renyuan's exile.

After the Battle of Baekgangkou, on the one hand, the Tang Dynasty itself was overstretched, and on the other hand, it was also to appease Baekje to show sincerity.

Therefore, the officials of the Kumatsu Prefecture were basically Baekje people, and at this time there were already some signs of restraint.

As for the selection of the supreme governor of the Kumazu Prefecture, the matter is quite delicate.

Liu Rengang made outstanding achievements, so after Baekje was destroyed for the second time, Liu Renliang was stationed in the local area, and Liu Renliang was willing to return to the court.

In 664, Liu Renyuan received Gaozong's order and returned to Xiongjin to replace Liu Renliang as the governor of Xiongjin, which was originally a normal rotation, but the two old comrades-in-arms finally made trouble in front of Gaozong.

Because Liu In-willing insisted on changing with Gojong's order, Liu Ren-rail believed that there were still many problems on the Korean Peninsula, such as Baekje, which had not yet been completely pacified, and Silla, which had not-for-name ambitions, and it was not a good choice to change the guard.

The opinions of the two were correct, so they made trouble in front of Gaozong, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is just to choose one and make up your mind, but Gaozong showed a high-end operation:

Liu Renyuan was recalled.

Liu Renliang continued to be stationed, but the position of governor of Xiongjin was stripped away.

Then Gaozong issued an edict, and Fuyulong, who was enjoying himself in Chang'an, became the governor of Xiongjin with a confused face.

Fuyulong resisted death, Chang'an had to eat, drink and play, and the broken place in Baekje was still cold to death, and the dogs didn't go!

was originally a happy thing, but Gaozong could make everyone block.

After this incident, Liu Renliang lacked the title of governor and was not happy to do anything in Xiongjin, and took the initiative to apply to return to China in less than a year.

Buyeo Long still refused to die, so Liu Renyuan set off again to replace Liu Renliang and garrison Baekje.

Liu Renyuan did not say anything conscientiously, he worked in Baekje for three years, and the results were remarkable, and the local Baekje people also spontaneously gave Liu Renyuan the monument to repair the monument, which is the "Tang Liu Renyuan Monument" that has been passed down to this day

What followed was very simple, in 667 the Tang Dynasty launched a plan to destroy Goguryeo, and Liu Renyuan, who was stationed in Xiongjin, naturally had to cooperate with the dispatch of troops.

However, there was a delay in sending troops, and although there was no delay in the fighters, the incident was eventually reported.

At this time, Li Zhi's health was getting worse and worse, and his increasingly weak body also made Gaozong's temperament gradually irritable, and when he saw this report, he remembered that there was a rumor that Liu Ren was willing to "plot to divide Haidong".

Under the emperor's suspicion, Liu Renyuan was soon escorted back to Chang'an on the charge of "staying and not going".

Liu Renyuan, who was aggrieved, was willing to defend Gaozong in person, but this move made Gaozong even more angry and ordered Liu Renyuan to be executed.

However, he immediately woke up to the fact that Liu Renyuan had the merit of destroying Baekje, suppressing Xiongjin, and conquering Goguryeo, and it was really inappropriate to be executed in this way, so he was exiled to Yao'an, Yunnan, which was really remote, and Liu Renyuan was nowhere to be found later.

In this case, Buyeo Taka, who had received the position of Governor of Kumajin for four years, was forced by Gojong to return to Kumajin to inherit the family property, and so far the officials of Kumajin from top to bottom were all Baekje people, and they completely changed from direct subordinates to fetters.

Therefore, Silla quickly couldn't wait to make a move, after all, if Liu Renliang or Liu Renyuan attacked Xiongjin when he was there, it would be equivalent to taking the initiative to attack Datang.

But now that Xiongjin doesn't have a single Tang person, Silla's attack is a fight between vassals, what are you afraid of?

As Silla thought, it took four years before and after, and although he was slapped by the Tang Dynasty in the end, Silla Che actually ate Baekje in his mouth, and he was willing to receive this slap. 】

This time, the light curtain slowly narrated the things quite simply, there was no great technology, but it caused Li Shimin to sigh:

"Childish ......"

Seeing people with things, Li Shimin seems to have seen an emperor who is gradually entering a strange road.

Although no one dares to say it explicitly, I am afraid that in the rest of his life, someone will privately compare this emperor with his father.

If you want Li Shimin to say, the young slave is not doing well in the position of emperor, but think about Guangshen, huh...... It's not bad.

And think about it again, the young slave was not raised as a prince in the first place.

The crazy Chengqian, who was oppressed by him, was deposed and exiled in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan.

But in the end, it was not the second son of Guanyin who became the prince, Qingque, but the third son of the childish slave.

It can be seen that there are a lot of things to choose the prince, how old was the young slave at that time, sixteen years old?

From the abolition of the crown prince to the removal of his Li family, it has only been five years.

Li Shimin sighed heavily:

It's too short.
