Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"This question is somewhat difficult."

Facing this question, Shu An didn't answer consciously. In fact, he was also thinking that Datang was going to leave.

Although he wanted to build an empire where the sun never sets, in fact Shu An didn't have that much hope for Li Shimin.

After all, it's not that easy. Although he started the HNA era, it has to be said that the real HNA era has not yet arrived.

It was an era of giant steel ships, and only in this era was it easiest to accomplish such an achievement.

"If there is no difficulty, then there is no need to trouble Yafu."

Li Shimin's voice continued to sound, and there was a lot of disobedience in his words. Although he had a lot of criticisms against Yafu in his heart, only Yafu could answer this matter for him.

"Shimin is sincere!"

Shu An took a deep look at Li Shimin's background and said, but then fell into deep thought.

It can be said that the entire pavilion fell silent, waiting for Shu An to finish thinking.

In fact, Shu An still had some ideas about this issue, and in fact, it didn't seem to be a good development in any direction.

For example, if you go to the north, it can be said that it is even more desolate than the grassland, and it is not suitable for living at all.

It would be fine for future generations, but with the level of the current era, it is unknown how many years it will take to develop.

It can be said that it is not the best choice, so Shu An's gaze still falls on the southwest direction.

"The entire Tang Dynasty can develop in an all-round way."

"After all, some places are still good. It would be a pity to give up."

"However, there are also priorities in overall development. If you want to make a priority, then Southwest is the best choice."

......

Shu An's voice sounded faintly, and there was no personal prejudice, but an analysis of the reasons.

And he also has some selfish intentions, that is, it is best to let Datang get in touch with Europe, so that even if some technology is born in Europe, then there will be no results above history.

If the East and the West are divided into two worlds, even Shu An will not have much confidence.

On the contrary, if they merged into one world, then no one would be left behind.

On the other side, Li Shimin's eyes began to light up involuntarily following Shu An's words.

After all, those ministers didn't have Shu'an's understanding of these places. If they didn't have enough resources, what would be the use of occupying them.

This place in the key southwest can be said to have had many benefits in the farming era.

Especially for Tianzhu, Shu An naturally had some ideas. After all, Tianzhu's position can be said to be good.

If Tianzhu can be taken, then it will not be so difficult to go to Europe.Whether it is the method of sea navigation or the method from the land.

But all of these are Shu An's ideas, after all, it still depends on the emperor's speed and choice, maybe it will become a lifetime series.

Chapter 756 Big deal, look forward to it

In the pavilion of the academy, even though Shu An had finished speaking, several people were still in deep thought.

Shu An didn't disturb anything, but added some more firewood to cook wine, and waited for the few people to wake up.

Although Shu An said his own thoughts, it doesn't mean that Li Shimin and others don't have their own ideas.

After some comparison, even Li Shimin had to admit that Yafu's idea was more convincing.

There are also many countries in the southwest, and if you really go north, it is not a good choice.

As for the south, there are more islands, and many of the treasures of HNA came from these islands.

Naturally, I also got a lot of information, that is, these islands are full of savages.

As long as HNA can reach these islands, these places are basically in Datang's pocket.

Regarding this point, Li Shimin firmly believed in it!

"Yafu's idea is really good."

"The teacher's suggestion is indeed the best choice for Datang now."

......

The three of them couldn't help but complimented Shu An, and their words were very sincere. If it was said that Xue Rengui was the happiest.

Obviously, this must be news for Xue Rengui, who has already trained in the Southwest and is familiar with the environment.

In the southwest direction, there is no doubt that Datang's current deployment of troops is not too large, because generally speaking, the southwest is a small fight.

On the contrary, Goguryeo in Liaodong and Tubo in the northwest are the two most threatening places in the Tang Dynasty.

"Now there is a big deal, I wonder if Shimin is interested?"

But after this matter was over, Shu An's voice continued to sound.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help being slightly stunned, as if he didn't think that Yafu had other things.

But soon Li Shimin reacted, with a hint of interest on his face.

"I don't know what business Yafu is talking about?!"

The voice of the emperor sounded, he believed that something that could be called a big deal by Yafu was definitely not a trivial matter.

Although the current emperor is not poor, he is ambitious. Obviously, the next step is to expand the army.

Once the army is expanded, there will be a lot of extra expenditure every year, so naturally I don't mind having more money.

"Fusang!"

Shu An said softly, he naturally wouldn't have a good impression of this country, and now he doesn't mind making it a part of Great Tang.

But Shu An also knows that this matter is not so easy, because there are several countries beside Fusang in Liaodong.

If Datang conquered Fusang, then it would be necessary to pass through the barriers of these countries, and even arouse vigilance.

Although it is not good on the bright side, it is still possible in the dark, and that is the power of Fusang in the dark.

Then wait for the land of Liaodong to be resolved in the future, and then incorporate Fusang into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that this is Shu An's plan for Fusang, but it is a pity that Li Shimin and others are more puzzled at this time.

The reason is very simple, that is, in their impression, Fusang is a country that cannot be smaller.

Especially after the map of the world appeared, the comparison between Fusang and Datang became more obvious, and Li Shimin naturally looked down on it even more.

Even Li Shimin didn't think that this small country could have any big business. As for Du Ruhui and Xue Rengui, they also had similar ideas.

"Although Fusang is small, there is one thing that it has a lot of."

Facing the reactions of several people, Shu An was not surprised, after all, history has always looked down on Fusang.

You must know that Fusang has been recorded since the Tang Dynasty, but it has never been thought that this small country can counterattack.

"What?!"

Li Shimin couldn't help asking with a trace of curiosity on his face.

"Silver mine, a lot of silver mine!"

Shu An's steady voice sounded, he was not afraid that this news would leak out, after all, everyone present was familiar.

"call!"

But Shu An's words made the emperor and Du Ruhui take a deep breath.

Silver is a good thing, especially the large amount that Lord Anxuan said, it may not be a small amount, no wonder Lord Anxuan pays attention to Fusang.

"I don't know how Yafu did this business?!"

Li Shimin sounded with a hint of anxiety, obviously even this emperor could not remain indifferent.

Although Li Shimin has grown a lot now, he is not calm when it comes to money.

Even if Shu An couldn't help complaining secretly, Li Shimin might be poor, but he also understood Li Shimin's feelings.

"Support a Fuso spokesperson and secretly mine silver."

Shu An didn't have much appetite to catch the emperor, so he directly expressed his thoughts.

After all, this is the best way at present. As for whether Fusang, the spokesperson, will have any ideas in the future, it depends on Li Shimin's ability on the one hand.

On the other hand, Shu An believed that with Datang's current strength, it would be no problem to win a little Fusang.

"I agreed to this matter first!"

Li Shimin said directly without hesitation. With just one sentence, the emperor understood all Yafu's thoughts.

As for Du Ruhui and Xue Rengui on the other side, they feel a little dreamy, as if the fate of this small country has been decided in this way.

Fortunately, after knowing the world map, I also knew that Fusang was not as good as a Daozhou in Datang, so I wasn't too shocked.

"Let Li Junxian and Kuanghu discuss this matter later!"

Shu An's voice continued to sound, obviously he was determined to win this time, and he hoped that the sooner the better.

"According to Yafu's words!"

As for Li Shimin's words, naturally he would not object, and even this emperor was more anxious than Shu An.

After resolving these two main matters, it was destined that the four of them would not stay long.

Li Shimin was the first to leave, and then Du Ruhui and Xue Rengui didn't stay too long, after all, they came here much earlier than Li Shimin.

If it wasn't for Li Shimin's unexpected arrival, he might have left early, but they also gained some information.

For Du Ruhui and Xue Rengui, these news are still very useful.

After all, he was able to fight for some benefits for the family. Even a person like Du Ruhui would inevitably have many relatives. Xue Rengui's words were better, but he also had a brother-in-law.

Although this little brother-in-law got into trouble back then, he stepped up from the ranks of soldiers step by step.

Even Xue Rengui has the idea of ​​pushing a hand. It can be said that if he knows the news earlier, he can start the layout earlier.

There is also the matter of Fusang. This matter is definitely not limited to the teacher and His Majesty, and some preparations must be made.

"I'm looking forward to next year."

And looking at the figures of several people leaving, Shu An's eyes showed a trace of confusion and whispered softly.

Chapter 757 It's Ugly, Urgently Move

The 12th year of Zhenguan came in a blink of an eye, and it was only two or three months since the last discussion between Shu An and Li Shimin.

But the changes that have taken place in a short period of time are not small, especially Li Shimin has also begun to expand his army.

The army has been expanded by 10 people, and this is only the first step, but this time it was passed without objection.

Many ministers also know that no matter where the Tang Dynasty develops, it will inevitably need to expand its army.

But what's interesting is that other than the few people sitting there who knew about Yafu's thoughts, they haven't known yet.

In other words, these people are still discussing which direction to develop.

Even though two or three months have passed, there is actually no result, because there are many things involved.

For example, if you choose the north, is it easier for the family near the north to seek convenience?

On the contrary, those aristocratic families in the south are destined to have no chance because of the long distance.

It can be said that this is the reason that led to endless quarrels. After all, the interests behind it are not so simple.

palace

With the new year coming, this emperor also has some expectations, because he asked Yafu before.

Therefore, Li Shimin has a big heart and a sense of leisure, sitting and watching the flowers bloom and fall in the leisurely courtyard.

Just as the spring of the new year has arrived, the flowers in the imperial garden are very splendid.

He looked at the Guanyin servant girl who was with him, and the daughters who were chasing after him in the garden.

And on the stone table are just a few small dishes, and a jug of old wine from Yafu's cellar.

It can be said that this emperor enjoyed it very much. It is still spring and there are still many colds in the north.

A jug of wine is just right, besides, the wine is not ordinary, if Wugou hadn't sent someone to get it, Li Shimin would not be able to lose face.
