After all, once this technology is given, Zhou Jinyan will have no conditions to negotiate.

Although this kind of thing is infuriating, but in all fairness, let them choose. If they are faced with such a choice, they will only do worse than Zhou Jinyan.

Li Shimin paused, and said, "What's the matter with the potatoes? Is this thing really effective?"

"I don't know, but I have eaten it before, and the taste is not bad. If it can be planted on a large scale, it will indeed be of great benefit to our Datang."

Chapter 1153 Times have changed

In the end, Li Shimin didn't agree, nor did he say no.

Let everyone retreat, only Changsun Wuji was left in the study.

"Wuji, do you think we should agree?"

Li Shimin asked in a tired voice.

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, pondered for a while, and said, "It should be agreed, otherwise we might really not be able to beat Daughter Country."

"I also know that the times have changed. Hey. It's just that this kind of result is not what I want to see. It's like there is a knife around my neck, forcing me to agree."

Changsun Wuji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, pardon the old minister's bluntness, maybe Zhou Jinyan really has no bad intentions, but he has come to this point, and there is no way to make a better choice."

Li Shimin didn't speak, but looked at him with complicated eyes.

Changsun Wuji bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to ask, if Daughter Country uses all its forces to attack our Great Tang, will our Great Tang be able to resist?"

"It's impossible."

Li Shimin said: "Their weapons are too powerful, far surpassing our Tang's weapons. The fiasco of Tubo is a good example. Besides, it's not like they haven't fought before."

Changsun Wuji hummed, and continued: "According to reports, Daughter's Country was just a small piece of land before, but now the surrounding countries are all occupied by them. Now that they have captured Tubo, it can be said that their Territory or strength, has far surpassed my Datang."

Li Shimin snorted, but did not refute.

"But they didn't come to attack our Tang Dynasty? What does this mean?"

Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Changsun Wuji said sternly: "It means that Zhou Jinyan's heart is towards my Tang Dynasty, and there must be some agreement with that red lady!"

"Humph!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I married three daughters to her, but he didn't give the firearms to me, but gave the firearms to Daughter Country."

Changsun Wuji said: "It's not easy to decide whether the firearm belongs to Zhou Jinyan or the Daughter Kingdom."

Thinking about it this way, Li Shimin's mood improved a lot.

"But no matter how you say it, Zhou Jinyan has the ability to take down our Datang."

Changsun Wuji suddenly said such a sentence, which made Li Shimin tremble all over.

Li Shimin's eyes sharpened immediately.

"But he didn't do that. Even when we went to fight Xihai City, he just defended and didn't take the initiative to attack. This all shows that he doesn't want to be an enemy of my Tang Dynasty. He always remembers that he is a citizen of Tang Dynasty."

"I look more at it, for the sake of my three daughters."

Thinking of the fight between Zhou Jinyan and Changsun Chong for Changle, Li Shimin said angrily.

"No matter what, Zhou Jinyan didn't do that when he had the ability to obtain greater benefits. In fact, it has already shown that he is not the kind of person who pushes forward and wants to embarrass me."

Having said that, Li Shimin also has to say that Changsun Wuji's evaluation is correct.

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly, "Therefore, it is not a problem at all to let him manage those states, because he can completely grab these places by himself. Let's say Yazhou, he has been in business for so long, when we started the war , Didn't he let it out just because he said it? How did the people of Yazhou ever give us the Tang army trouble?"

Li Shimin didn't speak, but his face was a little ugly.

Changsun Wuji knew that it was actually a matter of face now.

As an emperor, Li Shimin repeatedly suffered losses and needed to save face.

Changsun Wuji said softly: "Thus, it's not that we can't give those places, but we can also make some more requests, and as long as these requests are not excessive, Zhou Jinyan should agree."

"any request?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Let him give Datang a hundred firearms every year."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, then he frowned and said, "Is it missing? How about a thousand?"

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said: "The entire Xihai City only has more than 2000 soldiers, and he gives us more than 1000 firearms every year. Can Zhou Jinyan feel at ease? He may not attack us, but he will definitely be worried. We will be like last time." , and sent troops against him."

Li Shimin let out a long breath and said, "It seems that there was a mistake in sending troops last time."

Changsun Wuji naturally wouldn't say much, he had finished what he had to say, so he shut his mouth and said no more.

When the news came, Zhou Jinyan was also very surprised.

Li Shimin actually agreed to this seemingly harsh request.

But instead of giving him all the states in the west of Yazhou, he gave him all the states in the west that are close to the daughter country.

In addition to the previous conditions, two more conditions were added.

One is to attack one hundred firearms every year, and the other is to send officials to supervise.

Zhou Jinyan immediately flew to Xihai City to discuss with everyone.

When everyone heard it, they could get the thirteen states of Datang.

There is no reason not to agree, just give the weapons, and give the eliminated ones.

With such a large place, an arsenal can be established, and these firearms can be given to Datang.

More importantly, with these places, they can expand their military.

Although Xihai City is impenetrable, the number of people is still too small.

It is also difficult to increase the number of troops.

But once there are thirteen states in Datang.

It is too simple to increase the force.

Make great efforts to develop these places.

Even if an army of 5 people is pulled up, it may not be a big problem.

Everyone trusts Zhou Jinyan's level of governance.

Therefore, without too much discussion, Zhou Jinyan agreed to the request.

After Yan Shigu went back.

Zhou Jinyan has already started sending people to contact officials in these places.

They stay or go.

Zhou Jinyan let them choose for themselves.

But the main official positions are held by his people.

Anyone who disobeys him in the jurisdiction will be driven away or ransacked.

Unlike in Yazhou, this time, what Zhou Jinyan wanted was absolute obedience.

Instead of being secretive like Yazhou.

Back in Daughter Country, Zhou Jinyan first communicated with Hong Niangzi.

"You want to move?"

The red lady seems to be still in Tubo.

Hearing this, his face looked surprised.

"Yes, Datang promised to make me the King of the West Sea and give me thirteen states to manage."

The red lady was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you sure you're not joking? Li Shimin is so generous?"

"Who knows."

Zhou Jinyan naturally wouldn't say that his existence was to help resist the army of Daughter Country.

"Hey, forget it."

The red lady sighed softly: "You can't keep it, so I won't say more, you can do it yourself."

Then he hung up the video.

Zhou Jinyan stared at the phone for a while, then walked out of the room.

Chapter 1154 Appointment

Li Mengjiang came over, saw that his face was not very good, and asked concerned: "Husband, what's the matter?" Zhou Jinyan took her arm and said softly: "We may have to move again."

The astonishment flashed across Li Mengjiang's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "As long as the husband is here, it doesn't matter where the concubine goes."

"I've wronged you."

Regarding Li Mengjiang, Zhou Jinyan never had to worry too much about anything.

"Where are you going?"

Li Mengjiang asked.

"Wait, I'll get someone to bring the map."

Soon Zhou Jinyan asked someone to bring over the map of the Tang Dynasty.

"Look, these thirteen states will be managed by me in the future. Where do you think we can go? Or return to Yazhou?"

Thirteen states are Yazhou, Jiazhou, Kunzhou, Rongzhou, Aizhou, Yizhou, Yaozhou, Songzhou, Fengzhou, Jiaozhou, Yaozhou, Tangzhou, and Luofuzhou.

There are a total of thirteen states, except for Yazhou, which he developed by himself, and the rest are very backward.

In fact, after Daughter Kingdom captured Tubo, Daughter Kingdom's huge territory had a lot of contact with Datang.

It is far more than these thirteen states.

To be precise, many of Datang's long borders are now in contact with Daughter Country.

But Zhou Jinyan assisted in defending the territory that was far away from the real Daughter Country.

Li Mengjiang was surprised and surprised, he didn't expect that his father would really give up these thirteen states to Zhou Jinyan.

She naturally didn't think it was because Zhou Jinyan married three princesses.

Faintly, she suddenly understood something.

Glancing at her husband, seeing him smiling at her, she said with a smile: "It's useless to say it, let everyone decide together."

She said softly: "Although Yazhou is good, with my husband's ability, it is still very easy to take care of these places."

Zhou Jinyan understood what she meant.

Posted a message in the group.

All the girls were at school, but it didn't take long for the group to become lively.

One by one was very curious about the situation.

Zhou Jinyan gave a general overview of the situation.

Then I made a choice to see if the girls were going to leave or didn't want to leave.

As a result, most of them naturally chose to leave here.

Even if there is no choice, I am afraid that I should not see it for the time being.

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Jinyan took a few photos, posted them in the group, and everyone chose.

Regarding returning to Yazhou, most of the girls still want to go back.

But there are also those who want to go to other states.
