Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

Originally, Cheng Yaojin was just joking when he said this, and he didn't expect Li Wenbin to come up with anything that would make people look good.

"Oh? There is something good, hurry up and take a look"
"Uncle Cheng, wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go."
With that said, Li Wenbin went to his study, took something, and put it in front of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, but it was a huge piece of paper.

"What is this, my old Cheng can't understand the things you scholars make..."
While grumbling, Cheng Yaojin opened the scroll, but he only glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes were as big as cow bells.

"Is this... is this all true?"
"Uncle Cheng, this is of course true. Does my nephew dare to lie to you?"
Cheng Yaojin's breathing became rapid, and he subconsciously tore off the buttons of his robe, revealing his dark chest.

Qin Qiong was listening curiously, and when he looked closer, he found that it was a huge map.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty occupies only a small part of the map, while in the north are countries such as Turks and Xue Yantuo with a vast territory.

But farther away, there are some country names that I have never even heard of.

"So it turns out that Datang only occupies such a small place in the world?"
Tang people have always believed that their country is the strongest and largest country in the world, but if this map is not wrong, then Datang occupies less than [-]% of the territory.

This was a serious blow to the always proud Tang people.

"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, although our Tang Dynasty does not occupy the largest territory, I can say responsibly that our Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, and Chang'an is also the largest city in the world."
"Some other countries seem to have a large territory, but their civilization level is very low, which is equivalent to those savage kings in Lingnan, such as the generation of Tianzhu."
Looking at the large territory representing Tianzhu, both Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were tempted.

Originally they thought that Jieli Khan, who defeated the Turks, was their lifelong wish, but seeing that there were still so many places on the map that had not been brought under the management of the Tang Dynasty, they felt a little dissatisfied.

The Han people are the most intelligent nation in the world, and those other countries should submit to the Tang Dynasty—look at the place called Southeast Asia, where the king of Qin said that rice is grown three times a year, and the aborigines there actually Too lazy to just sprinkle a handful of seeds and wait for a good harvest.

Such a reckless waste of everything should be punished by God!
Qin Qiong looked at it for a while, then suddenly asked: "Wen Bin, have you shown this map to Your Majesty?"
"Not yet, my nephew only got this map today, before I had time to dedicate it to my father, the two of you have already arrived."
"Without further delay, we will enter the palace immediately with the map."
"Come here, order Jinwuwei to clean the street, and then ask your majesty to send the Beiya imperial army to escort the map."
"Here!"
Soon, Qin Qiong's order was strictly carried out. From Qin Wang's Mansion to the East Palace, all the roads were under martial law by the soldiers of the Imperial Army. Those who didn't know this posture thought that the emperor or the Supreme Emperor had passed away.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were already guarding in full armor. Without Li Shimin's imperial decree, no one was allowed to approach. Li Wenbin's mouth twitched at the sight of this preparedness.

"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin. It's just a map, isn't it so exaggerated?"
Surrounded by hundreds of people, Li Wenbin complained while holding a map.

"Shut up, what do you know? This map is related to the future of my Tang Dynasty, no matter how important it is, I can't take it too seriously!"
"That's right, this map can support at least one million troops, it is simply a priceless treasure. King Qin, you are still young!"
Li Wenbin naturally knew what the map represented. In ancient times, presenting a map was equivalent to surrendering, but this was not in any other place, this was in Chang'an.

He was thinking wildly, when he saw a large group of people roaring towards him, and the knight at the head was Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Wenbin, Li Shimin didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of people joined the escort team, and this time there were many more archers with bows and crossbows.

Li Shimin came to Li Wenbin's side, seeing him holding the map casually like that, he was furious, and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Such a treasure, you're so lazy, if it weren't for the fact that you are the one who presented the picture, I really want to slap you to death!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also came, all of them gloated over this.

"Father, you should take this map, otherwise, I really don't feel at ease."
Good guy, even if the posture of holding the map is not respectful enough, he will suffer for a while. If Li Shimin finds out that he still tore off a piece to wipe his nose, he probably will depose himself as the King of Qin immediately.

Under the protection of thousands of people, Li Shimin returned to the East Palace with a map, and then a group of ministers were announced into the palace. They didn't know what they discussed, and they didn't leave until late at night.

Li Wenbin didn't want to get involved at first, and he had to deal with the censure of those powerful families, but Li Shimin didn't intend to let him go at all.

Anyway, when Li Wenbin came to Xiande Hall, he saw that all the officials in the hall were very excited, with tears in their eyes, and those who didn't know thought that Li Shimin was the leader of pyramid schemes, so he gave them a speech.

"King Qin, you came just in time!" Li Shimin shouted to Li Wenbin, "Come and tell you, what are the good things in each country on this map."
"This is Southeast Asia, where the land is fertile and the climate is warm. The rice here can be grown three times a year, and it is very easy to grow. The indigenous people there just dig a hole in the ground, and then throw the seeds in it and wait for it to mature. gone."
"This is called the Strait of Malacca. It is the only way to the sea to the western countries. There are countless specialties here, such as pepper, nutmeg and spices, which are worth gold in the Tang Dynasty. On the small island over there Almost everywhere."
Hearing Li Wenbin's words, the officials trembled: a piece of nutmeg costs three pennies, and if you want enough spices to make a top-level dish like roasted whole lamb, you need several catties of spices.

But now in the territory of Tang Dynasty, high-quality spices are more expensive than gold of equal weight, and the emperor can only use them once in a while when entertaining distinguished guests. Other ministers have to ask the emperor for spices if they want to use them.

If it's really like what Li Wenbin said, isn't this sea full of treasures?
