In the face of inquiries from the emperor, Tang Jian was very cautious in asking what to answer, and never digressed from topic and sighed about other things.

In fact, this is also Li Shimin’s favorite attitude, as an emperor, he actually does not like his courtiers to contradict himself head-on, because the Great Tang only has one Wei Zheng.

Li Shimin bowed his head in satisfaction and asked lightly.

“I invited Tang Aiqing to come because I wanted you to introduce the country of Lin Yi.”

Lin Yi?

Tang Jian didn’t know why Li Shimin asked Lin Yi, and after organizing the language a little, he answered truthfully.

“Lin Yiguo, during the Qin and Han dynasties, Xiangxun Xianglin County, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianglin Gongcao’s son District Lian established himself as king.”

“The Book of Jin, Siyi Chuan, Lin Yi Guo”: ‘Human nature is fierce, and if it is a war beard, it will learn mountains and waters, and it will not be idle. At four o’clock, there is no frost and no snow, and everyone is in vain, with black as the beauty. A noble woman is a mean man, the same surname is married, and the woman is a son-in-law. ’”

“Liang Shu Zhuyi Lie”: Its land area can be 600 li wide, the city is 120 li to the sea, more than 400 li to the southern boundary of Japan, and the north is bordered by Jiude County, with rattan as armor and bamboo as bow, and fights by elephant.”

“In the sixth year of Wude, his king Fan Fanzhi sent an envoy to the dynasty. For eight years, he sent gifts again. Emperor Gaozu set up the “Nine Parts” for a banquet and gave it a king jincai. At the beginning of Zhenguan, he sent tribute to tame the rhino. ”

“The most memorable thing for the minister is the richness of Lin Yi Kingdom, which really makes the minister’s eyes red and jealous.”

Li Yuanfang only knew that Lin Yi had grain seeds, and Fu Rao said that he really didn’t know.

Adhering to the spirit of not being ashamed to ask, Li Yuanfang asked with great interest.

“How rich is it to make people red?”

Tang Jian saw that Li Shimin had no intention of stopping it, and answered this question with a smile.

“Back to His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, it is also recorded in the “Book of Liang, Zhuyi Lie”.”

“Its state-owned mountains of gold, the stones are red, and gold is born in them. The golden night flew out like a firefly. It also produces tortoiseshell, shell teeth, jibei, and agarwood. ”

“The name of the tree is also like a goose when it is formed, and it is spun into cloth, and the white is not different from the cloth, and it is also dyed in five colors, and woven into a spotted cloth.”

“Those who sink wood, the natives cut it off, accumulate the years, decay and the heart is alone, and when placed in the water, it sinks, hence the name agarwood.” Those who do not sink and do not float, they are also incense. ”

Whether Li Yuanfang was moved or not, he replied: Not moved.

Whether Li Shimin was moved or not, he replied: Such a fat place, I really want to pocket it, and the ambition to open up the territory has emerged.

“Lin Yi, this place…”

Li Shimin was dying, and his gaze locked on the Linglong mountains and rivers on the side.

Tang Jian keenly captured Li Shimin’s movements, and was dumbfounded the first time he saw the Linglong mountains and rivers.

Li Jing, Du Ruxian and the others squeezed each other’s eyebrows, all hinting that the people around them looked at Tang Jian’s stupid appearance and happily appreciated the shocked expressions of others.

After half a ring…

Li Shimin’s gaze gradually moved north, and his fingers lightly tapped somewhere in the Linglong Mountains and Rivers.

“It’s a pity that such a rich place cannot be nationalized.”

Needless to say, everyone saw where Li Shimin’s finger fell, and immediately understood!

That place is – Turkic!

Li Yuanfang smiled indifferently, not taking down the ambitious Turks for a day.

The Great Tang not only had to bear the autumn wind of the Turks every year, but also could not free his hands to do other things.

According to the situation in the world, if the Great Tang dares to set a new strategic target, the Turks will immediately move to bite the Great Tang at the right time.

For example: the Weishui Alliance, which was the change of the Xuanwu Gate of the Great Tang, the civil strife had not subsided, and Jieli Khan led troops to Chang’an to take advantage of the fire and rob.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanfang complained naively.

“Turkic, Turkic, Turkic, really there are them.”

“It’s either rude and troublesome, or aggressive demands and relatives, royal brother, what can you do to solve them.”

Li Shimin suddenly smiled happily.

“Hurry up, otherwise the Turks will not be eliminated, and my Great Tang will be afraid of everything I do.”

“As for the fact that Lin Yi state-owned Champa rice, since Xu has already learned that even if we do not adopt strategic means, we can exchange it for commercial means to buy it.”

“However, in order not to let foreign countries detect the move, this transaction has to be done very low-key.”

“Once the Champa rice is bought, it will first be Lingnan Province this year, spread to Jiangnan Province next year, and launch it layer by layer to the north.”

“There is a saying: when the soldiers and horses do not move the grain and grass first, and when the imperial court has enough food and grass, it is when he is unlucky with Turk.”

“So in the case of Zhancheng Dao, there is a labor auxiliary machine to run for Xuan.”

Changsun Wuji touched his beard and decisively undertook this task.

“The old minister will not live up to His Majesty’s trust, and he will also purchase grain seeds back to China by any means.”

If the mission is successfully completed, the prestige of the Changsun family will definitely rise to a higher level.

Li Yuanfang half-narrowed his eyes, and the good soup was successfully sent.

Today, a number of shields have been erected, and they eat meat themselves in the autumn… Bah, when you harvest potatoes, you won’t make people blush and jealous.

Ahem, in the general sense, Li Yuanfang does have the heart to serve the country and the people, but he is not a completely selfless person, so while maintaining principles and doing things, he still subconsciously digs holes for people to jump.

But the advantage is that even if you know in advance that the potatoes have been harvested, everyone will pinch their noses and go to the pit.

Because this is a Yang scheme, picking a pit is a political achievement, and if you don’t jump into the pit, you are a fool.

Not to mention that the potatoes were not exposed, several military and political bigwigs are smart people, and there are many links that can intervene in the rice planting of Champa, and you can get political achievements and leave a name in history.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, raised his hand and patted Changsun Wuji’s shoulder.

“Xu naturally trusts you, otherwise he would not let you be in charge of this matter.”

“Medicine Master, you also sent a team of spies to Lin Yi to secretly find out the domestic situation of Champa Rice and Lin Yi Country, and ask Lin Yi for detailed information.”

Li Jing bowed and saluted: “Obey the holy order!” ”

Du Ruxi, Fang Xuanling, and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and they all knew each other.

Send spies to gather intelligence?

This means that when the Great Tang cleans up the Turks, Lin Yiguo still has to fight down.

Tang Jian looked at each of his colleagues in bewilderment.

“Your Majesty, why did you set your sights on Lin Yiguo, why did you go out to purchase rice over there?”

“You should ask His Royal Highness King Zhou~!”

The five colleagues raised their hands and pointed directly at Li Yuanfang.

Well, Tang Jian’s expression was even more confused.

“Can Your Highness explain to the courtiers?”

“Of course.”

Li Yuanfang smiled heartily, and said again about the advantages of occupying the city rice.

When Tang Jian learned that Champa rice is a rice that is ripe three times a year, the more it is planted, the less it is planted.

The northernmost region of the Great Tang Dynasty is planted once a year, and it can also get a bumper harvest.

Tang Jian’s eyes widened, and he beat his chest and stomped his feet in remorse.

“I already knew that the old man paid more attention to Lin Yi, a mistake, a mistake!”

Everyone laughed loudly, if Hongluo Temple understood Fanbang thoroughly, Tang Jian, the secretary of Hongxu Temple, could indeed take a huge credit.
