I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen became angry when he heard this. Tens of thousands of people built the road, and the road was less than a hundred miles long in eight months. The road he built was not the kind of road that would be built in later generations that needed to bear heavy loads.

"Your Majesty! The main reason is that there is not enough cement. Even most of our own workshops have been assigned to the Chiling Fortress.

As for road construction, it was only possible to build it this long thanks to two joint workshops in Henan Road. "

Wang Hongfu was actually very aggrieved. He really had no choice. In order to ensure the construction speed of Chiling Fortress,

Even the palace's own cement workshop is constantly refining cement, and even this is not enough.

"Oh, well, that's a good reason. There's nothing we can do about it. The city of Chiling is too important. You continue."

After hearing this, Li Shen realized that he had wrongly blamed Wang Hongfu. He was not an unscrupulous boss and only wanted to see the results.

Wang Hongfu glanced at the small notebook and then continued:

"The Japanese country reported that a city wall has been built, but it is only the size of a village.

According to the plan, they found two places suitable for building cement workshops in that area, and brought hundreds of Goguryeo survivors.

The pirate group also deployed 500 people to protect it, making sure that the firing method was not observed.

It's just that the workshop is some distance away from where we are building, so Di Renjie wants the palace to send a group of sergeants there.

Sitting in Jiwang City can prevent Xiaoxiao and also deter Japan. "

"Wait a minute, what do you think it's called?" Li Shen wiped his mouth.

"Because it was built by Prince Ji's Mansion, Di Renjie named it Prince Ji's City." Wang Hongfu replied.

"Fart, His Majesty funded the construction there. It will also be my territory of the Tang Dynasty from now on. Send a message there immediately. It will be called Datang City from now on.

And try to buy as much land as possible around there, whether it is fertile land or wasteland.

As long as it is sold, we will buy it. By the way, let Di Renjie build a saint's college. "

When Li Shen heard about King Ji's city, his head ached. A prince was expanding his territory and building a city.

Does his father think that he is planning to go overseas to claim the throne? Or building a base or something like that.

"Your Majesty, I think it is best to report this matter to Your Majesty. Di Renjie wants the palace to send troops there, but there cannot be any troops anywhere in the palace.

I think it’s best to ask the imperial court to send troops to garrison there. After all, the prince’s plan is to conquer the entire Japanese country, and it may take a long time to rely on the power of the prince alone. "

Wang Xuance's suggestion coincided with Li Shen's wishes.

Li Shen nodded and motioned to Wang Hongfu to continue reporting, and he would handle the matter himself.

"My lord, there is one more thing. The spice island discovered by the pirates is very rich in products. Zhao Derong came into contact with the local people and discovered a lot of things.

There are many kinds of spices, including flesh and fruit, cinnamon heart, star anise, flax, cinnamon leaves, chicken tongue, etc. "

"So many?" Li Shen was overjoyed. He didn't expect that there were so many spices on the Spice Island.

Li Shen's eyes shone brightly, and he could see mountains of gold and silver before his eyes.

"Quickly, tell Zhao Derong and bring me back quickly. Haha, I am going to get rich."

Li Shen laughed happily.

"Your Majesty, if we pull them all back, it may cause the price of spices to drop. Doesn't His Majesty always say that rare things are more expensive?" Wang Hongfu reminded.

Just like the current glass workshop in Prince Ji's Mansion, the income now accounts for the majority, because Li Shen controls sales.

Most of it was shipped to Persian food via the Silk Road, so the profits were very high.

"Well, you are right, let me think about it." After hearing this, Li Shen realized that he had been too happy just now.

He rubbed his thighs with his hands and began to think.

How can we make this batch of spices play their best role in a short period of time and sell them for their due value?

After thinking for a long time, Li Shen couldn't think of a reason, unless he organized his own fleet to go along the Maritime Silk Road.

Sold spices to Tianzhu, Persia and other places. But it took too long.

The only way he could think of was to lie, and use the magic bead once to harvest the princes, nobles and aristocratic families.

And it’s much easier to do this with spices than with divine beads.

It basically does not harm the common people, because at the current price, ordinary people are simply reluctant to spend money to buy spices.

"Oh~~~ It's so troublesome." Li Shen sighed. He has used this method once.

Book lovers will get tired of reading it.

"In this way, you first ask them to bring back one boat of each item, and then secretly transport it back to the palace. If it doesn't work, we will ship it out bit by bit."

Li Shen was forced to do this.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Hongfu agreed, then closed the notebook and sat down.

The three of them waited for Li Shen to assign the task.

Li Shen stood up, glanced at the three of them, and then said:

"The palace's current plans are nothing. The first is the important town of Chiling, and the second is the construction of two cement roads. Old Wang, you must always pay attention to these two items and not slack off.

Xuance, you began to take charge of the plans of the Japanese state, recruiting local talents, various talents, focusing on craftsmen and agriculture.

If literati must be able to speak the Tang Dynasty dialect and have a heart for the Tang Dynasty,

We can give them the life, land, money, and even beauties they want. Didn’t Goguryeo have many beauties?

As long as they make significant contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I can give them the status of people of the Tang Dynasty and give them the surname of the Tang Dynasty.

The same goes for craftsmen and agricultural talents. As long as they make contributions, I can give them the status of the Tang Dynasty and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty. "

"Does the prince want to plunder their population?" Li Sheng understood what Li Shen meant just after Wang Xuance finished speaking.

"Yes, we want their people, because we don't know much about the Japanese country yet, and we need some detailed work to understand their current regime.

Otherwise, how will we execute the plan in the future? Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we be victorious in every battle. "

Li Shen made no secret of his thoughts.

He is not a historian and knows nothing about the Japanese state in this period.

Wang Xuance nodded. He knew that Li Shen was going to implement the Japanese plan, which made him very excited.

What an honor it is to be part of a plan to take over a country.

"I will arrange for people to go there and be responsible for establishing our own intelligence point in the Japanese country and bribe some local people."

"Well, it's best to bribe some of their officials. I want to know the trends of their court.

At present, I don’t even know who is in charge of their Japanese country.

It would be even better if I could bribe their powerful ministers. I can promise them to give them my title of Tang Dynasty.

As long as you serve the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly and make great contributions, it is not impossible to give it to a prince. "

(Nutmeg - nutmeg, cinnamon - cinnamon, star anise - star anise, flax - pepper, cinnamon leaf - bay leaf, chicken tongue - cloves.

Don’t say that it doesn’t exist, it definitely exists now anyway. )
