There is another reason. Because Li Shen already knew the truth of the matter, Li Shimin must have an attitude.

Otherwise, Li Shen would not be able to explain himself.

Although Li Shen said that he would not pursue the matter further for the sake of the Queen, he had to express his position.

"Oh my god, this is absolutely not possible."

Li Shen quickly pleaded.

However, Li Shimin waved his hand, and Wang De turned around and walked out after receiving the order. He had to do it himself.

The three of them were left. Li Shimin motioned Li Chengqian to make tea, and then asked Li Shen:

"Old Ten, what are your plans for this year?"

"My dear father, I originally wanted to go to Xizhou in February, but now it's March and I haven't set off yet.

I think if there is nothing else to do, I will wait for some time, make some preparations and then set off for the northwest. "

Li Shen did not hide anything and told them about his plan to go to the northwest.

"I know you want to go to Xizhou to take charge of the situation, but given the current situation in Xizhou, I think it's better for you not to go.

Now there are many rebellions in Xizhou, if they knew you appeared in Xizhou.

They will definitely attack you, it's too dangerous."

When Li Shimin heard that Li Shen was going to Xizhou, he denied it.

Li Shen didn't care too much. His own guard battalion of 3,000 was well-equipped and had superb tactics. What did a few rebellions matter to him?

"Don't worry, Father. I will take the guard battalion with me. If there is a rebellion, I can help the court and suppress the rebels."

Li Shen replied confidently

“Old Ten, although your guard battalion is well-trained and has surpassed the imperial guards, you know that if the rebels unite, they will have at least tens of thousands of troops.

If your guard battalion were on the battlefield, fighting against tens of thousands of people, there might still be hope of victory.

But don't forget that you are a burden. If the enemy surrounds you, your guards will be exhausted to death.

They thought they couldn't escape with you around.

I don't want you to put yourself in danger. You can just send someone to deal with the affairs of Xizhou.

He is just a big shopkeeper, it doesn't matter."

In Li Shimin's view, Li Shen gave such a warning because he was unaware of the cruelty on the battlefield.

But he still overlooked one thing, which was the matter of gunpowder.

Li Shen was somewhat surprised to hear that there were tens of thousands of rebels. He had not expected that there would be so many rebels among the immigrants of Gaochang.

Is it from the Tiandihui? Against Tang and restore Gao.

Do you want to add another sentence: The earthquake in Gaogang makes the Western Hills look eternally beautiful.

The door faces the sea, and the water from three rivers flows together for thousands of years.

Li Shen is a man who is afraid of death. What his father said is right, even if his guard battalion is powerful.

But you can't put yourself in danger.

Li Shen immediately thanked:

“Thank you for your concern, Aye, please send someone else there.

But I still want to go to Japan, and I estimate it should be completed next year.

In fact, the main parts of the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City are almost complete, except for some buildings in the city."

"You're going to Japan?"

Li Chengqian was a little surprised to hear that Li Shen was going to Japan.

He heard from Li Shimin that Li Shen had a big plan in Japan and wanted to create an enclave in Japan.

But he didn't know the specific plan yet, because Li Shimin had only heard Li Shen talk about it once, and it was not that specific.

This time when Li Shen said he wanted to go to Japan, Li Chengqian wondered if the conditions were ripe.

"Yes, big brother, I'm going to Japan to find out the situation.

To plan for the future." Li Shen nodded.

"Tenth brother, Japan is just a small country overseas. I heard that its territory is not big and the land is barren.

Their people were in a barbaric state.

Our Tang Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, so is it not necessary to have an island country thousands of miles away in the sea? "

Li Chengqian didn't understand why Li Shen had to take action against Japan.

For this purpose, he spared no expense to build a city in Japan.

Although he has never been to Japan, he still knows a little about it.

Japan is far away from the Tang Dynasty and is on the sea. It is not a big country and has scarce supplies.

It wouldn't be of much use for the Tang Dynasty to have such an enclave.

“Brother, when you look at things, you can’t just look at the present, you have to look at the overall situation.

I once told Aye that this world is so big that you can’t imagine it.

In your impression, the Kingdom of the Arabs should be a place in the far west, very far away.

But I want to tell you that from the perspective of the entire world, based on the standard of our Tang Dynasty, the Arab Empire is not at the westernmost part.

To his west there was a large tract of land where the Kunlun slave tribe lived.

And further west, there is a very fertile land.

It is a treasure land, a piece of unpolished jade, with fertile soil and abundant resources.

There is a kind of grain there, which produces a few stones per mu, but if it is cultivated, it can produce ten stones per mu.

There is also a crop that grows underground and produces ten shi per mu. If it is cultivated well, it is very likely to produce twenty shi per mu.

In addition to these, there are many other good things, including many gold and silver mines.

If we can get these two crops, there will never be famine in the Tang Dynasty again."

"Ten stones, twenty stones?"

Li Shimin and Li Shen were shocked by Li Shen's words.

They had never heard of any grain that could produce 10 dan. 5 dan was considered a high yield.

Although Li Shen’s Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been continuously cultivating crops over the years, the grain yield per mu is only three or four stones.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shen, suddenly stepped forward and touched Li Shen's forehead with his hand.

Li Shenyi turned his head and reached out to knock Li Chengqian's hand away.

"Brother, do you think I'm lying?"

"No, I just noticed that you were getting carried away.

Tenth brother, do you know how much grain yield per mu is?

From ancient times to now, there has been no record of a yield of 10 dan per mu, let alone 20 dan. "

Li Chengqian thought Li Shen had a fever and dared to say anything.

Li Shimin on the side was indeed in deep thought. He felt that Li Shen would not talk nonsense at this time.

But there were indeed some things that he couldn't accept.

"Old Ten, are you telling the truth?" One can tell from his eyes that he longs for Li Shen's affirmation.

Li Shen did not disappoint him and nodded affirmatively:

"Aye, I promise it's true. Besides, I'm building a big ship. I think we need to sail across the ocean to get to that place.

There are also many indigenous barbarians in the area.

Therefore, we need sufficient armed forces. If the natives can live in peace, we can live in peace.

If they drive us away, then we don't have to be polite to them and kill all the enemies. "

Li Shen's eyes flashed with ferocity. Everything was for his own benefit. He would kill them all and then uphold human rights and virtue.

Li Shimin stood up, walked into the study, and took out a paper tube.

I went to the desk and opened it. It was a atlas.

He waved to Li Shen and Li Chengqian.

Li Shen took a look and found that it was a map of Asia.

Or half of Asia, but not the Far North.

"Old Ten, how big is the place you are talking about? How far is it from Chang'an City?"

(The crops I wrote about are the original yields, not the current yields. The original yield of corn is about 500 kilograms.

The original yield of potatoes was about one thousand kilograms, unlike the current yield of 1000-3000 kilograms per mu. Technological cultivation can reach more than 4000 kilograms.

Of course, I am also Baidu’s data. If it is inaccurate, you can blame Baidu, but I will not take the blame.)
