Chapter 567: A two-pronged approach

Li Shimin never thought that Li Ke still had such big ambitions hidden in his mind, but to be honest, Li Shimin was also moved.

"And what do you think now?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.

"These two things don't conflict, let's try to do both." Li Ke said with a smile, "So Erchen has to go to Lingnan Road first, and prepare to find a way to take the two places of Linyi and Zhenwax first, as an important supplement to our Datang grain." ”

"Go ahead, but you definitely don't have enough soldiers in your hands now, I'll transfer another 10,000 to you." Li Shimin thought for a moment before he spoke seriously.

"No, Erchen thinks it's better to go to the local area for training, because Erchen needs a large number of navies, and some soldiers on land will be seasick, and it will take a lot of time to train them to become qualified sailors, so I will go directly to Lingnan Province to recruit local soldiers." Li Ke said directly.

"But this time, I'll pick some of these soldiers who can adapt to the ship and take them with them."

"Datang also has its own navy, I will transfer another 2,000 people to you, and I will ask the military department to increase the training of the navy. In addition, the Tang Dynasty will also increase the construction of sea ships, this time building docks and wharves near the mouth of the Yangtze River, which you are talking about. Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said.

Since Li Ke thinks that the navy is so important, then Li Shimin feels that there is no problem in taking precautions and starting to train the navy, and it is okay to start building the navy if the ships are not enough, but if the navy is not enough, it will be troublesome to temporarily want to form it when the time comes.

"It's good that this father decides."

"When are you going to go?" Li Shimin looked at him.

"A month later." Li Ke said very simply, a month later, it was already late May, and by the time Li Ke arrived at Lingnan Road, it was basically early June, and it was not long before the fleet to Persia set off.

"Who are you going to take with you?"

"I'm going to bring Changle over, as well as Li Yan and the others." Li Ke said.

Li Shimin: "......"

"Are you sure you're on your way to business?" Li Shimin glared at Li Ke.

"Of course, didn't Changle say that he wanted to comfort the frontier soldiers? The land of Lingnan is also a frontier, and she went on her mission without any danger. Li Ke said.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, am I talking about Changle's problem?

"But you only take Changle, your precious sister won't let you." Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a smile.

"Just take it all with you." You're threatening me with this? You see if I'm afraid, it's good to bring it all the big deals, even the sons, they won't have problems anyway.

Li Shimin: "......"

"Get out! Bring them all, are you responsible for safety? Li Shimin glared at him.

"Isn't this what you said from your father, besides, don't you always think they annoy you, I'll just bring it." Li Ke said with a smile.

"You take them with you, are you going to get down to business?" Li Shimin was a little speechless, I'm afraid you're not going out to play.

"Then I don't want to bring it or not." Li Ke is also helpless, I bring you, if you don't bring it, what do you want me to do, dad.

"You go by yourself, Changle can go, but forget about the rest, so many people follow the past and you are distracted to take care of them, and the road is long, you must have passed by water, the road is long." Li Shimin thought for a while.

"Yes." Li Ke nodded, "When I leave, I will set up the Datang Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and 51% of the shares will be handed over to the Datang Royal Chamber of Commerce at that time." ”

"Don't you want it yourself?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke.

"I'm not involved in this." Li Ke thought about it, he didn't participate in this, Yuelai Commercial Bank can become the supplier of the Datang Maritime Chamber of Commerce, such as armor weapons, tea, linen, silk, silk, etc. can be supplied by Yuelai Commercial Bank, of course, according to the market price.

In addition, let's talk about porcelain, there is an official kiln in the Tang Dynasty, but the official kiln in the Tang Dynasty is different from the official kiln in the back, such as the official kiln in the Song Dynasty are two concepts. One is that this porcelain kiln factory is private, a certain family, but it pays tribute, so it is called an "official kiln". The other is the official kiln factory, which is directly opened by the imperial court, also known as the "official kiln".

The official kiln of the Tang Dynasty is basically these two concepts, but at present, the official kiln of the Tang Dynasty is mainly based on the first type, that is, the "official kiln" with tribute, and there is only one official kiln directly opened by the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, but it is currently mainly fired with pottery.

In fact, at present, the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is ...... It's really not much, because the current temperature technology of porcelain burning needs to be improved, and the porcelain technology is a top secret among several official kilns.

At present, Jingdezhen in later generations, now Datang Fuliang County is already an important porcelain firing place, and Li Ke has also asked people to open a relevant porcelain firing kiln in Fuliang County, for Li Ke, the technology he fired is advanced, and he has a complete porcelain firing process in his hands, so Li Ke has actually asked people to prepare fine porcelain.

A lot of fine porcelain Li Ke has already been fired, but he has prepared a small number of these fine porcelain, or rather, he will not take too many of these things this time, but he will also bring some of them.

At the beginning, it was impossible to fight directly with Lin Yi and True Wax, and the soldiers of Datang in Lingnan Dao had not yet been fully trained, not enough! Therefore, it is impossible to fight, and the most important thing is that Li Ke asked them to help with farming and open up the fields first.

These fine porcelain can be kept as gifts, and the free ones are the most expensive.

And now, of course, it is those ordinary porcelain.

"By the way, Dad, I might have someone send you a set of porcelain recently." Li Ke hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Huh? What level? The one you gave Changle? Li Shimin instantly became interested, in Datang, the best porcelain is also very valuable, although it is not as expensive as some expensive things produced by Li Ke, but it is also not low.

"It's the latest refining by Erchen, and the one for Changle is actually an accidental product, and it's difficult to refine it again." Li Ke said helplessly, in fact, it is not impossible, but the yield rate is a little low, these things are useless, except for decorating the façade for Dad, and the blue and white porcelain of that level in later generations is actually enough, and it is an absolute treasure in this era.

"What does that look like?"

"I call it blue and white porcelain." Li Ke said, "Anyway, it looks very beautiful, and it is definitely the best of the best." ”

"Why give it to me all of a sudden?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke very vigilantly.

"Uh...... Because I'm going to sell some. Li Ke choked for a moment before speaking.

Li Shimin: "......"
