Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

In the living room, Yuchi Baoqi was waiting for the Sogdian to speak, while Li Shimin acted very leisurely on the side.

The Sogdian envoy saluted the two extremely distinguished people in front of him: "I am very surprised that the British Council said what we said."

Yuchi Baoqi shrugged: "Nothing to be surprised about. I know a lot of words, and they are available everywhere. What do you want to do? Why don't you just tell me."

The translator Hu Shang brought by the Sogdian envoy translated it again for Li Shimin. Li Shimin poked Yuchi Baoqi: "Just speak Tang Mandarin and take care of me."

In the impression of the Sogdian envoy, although the Tang Dynasty was open and tolerant, the Han people were still reserved and reserved at heart. Why did the British prince let him speak out when he came?

"I heard that the Tang Dynasty had completely engulfed the Harsha Dynasty and the Canaan area..."

After listening to the translation, Li Shimin understood that the Sogdian envoy was afraid that the Tang Dynasty's troops would continue to march westward into Central Asia, just like the mighty army of heaven marched westward into Europe.

Yuchi Baoqi glanced at Li Shimin, organized his speech and said: "The next twenty years will be the development. The Tang Dynasty will not take the initiative to expand its troops abroad. You can rest assured about this."

The Sogdian envoy was completely uneasy, and that was not what he wanted to say: "We have always had good relations with the Tang Dynasty, and a large amount of trade is going on even at this moment."

Seeing that he still had something to say, Yuchi Baoqi put her hands in her sleeves and waited quietly.

"I wonder if you two have ever heard of Michelle?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and Yuchi Baoqi nodded and replied: "misr, Egypt in Arabic, why is this mentioned?"

When the Sogdian envoy met Yuchi Baoqi, he knew: "The British Lord is indeed a man of God, he can know the affairs of the world. This Mi Xi'er tried to attack us many times, but fortunately, we Sogdian warriors resisted him. But this lasted for a long time It hasn’t been an option since.”

Li Shimin now becomes sensitive when he hears about war: "What do you want Datang to do? Fight for you?"

The Sogdian envoy quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, we just want to buy some weapons. I heard that the military equipment of the Tang Dynasty is the best in the world, and the Mighty Army of Heaven is unparalleled. Our commander-in-chief has been interested in it for a long time, and we hope that the Tang Dynasty will conquer the country. It can fulfill my little wish.”

Yuchi Baoqi coughed twice: "Firearms and artillery shells are not for sale, let alone tanks and aircraft."

The Sogdian envoy looked at his colleagues around him in surprise, and several of them looked at each other.

Yuchi Baoqi was shocked: "No, what are you here to buy? Strong bows, crossbows, swords and armor?"

The Sogdian envoy nodded: "Could it be that the Tang Dynasty had more powerful weapons? What were the firearms and artillery shells that the British Lord just mentioned?"

After listening to the translation, Li Shimin didn't expect that these Sogdians had traveled thousands of miles just to buy some cold weapons in Datang. Out of self-deprecation for being too cautious, Li Shimin let out a small sigh, which was almost like a cold snort.

This statement made the Sogdian envoy a little unsure. What does His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty mean by this? Isn't he unwilling to sell it to us?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the living room: "Your Majesty, the British Duke, I am here to bring you some snacks and food, and I have also prepared some drinks."

Seeing that the Sogdian envoy looked unhappy, Yuchi Baoqi asked Mai'er if it was Ramadan. After receiving a positive answer, Yuchi Baoqi told Butler Su not to send it.

"The British Lord is so knowledgeable and talented. He even knows our Ramadan time. He is indeed the most powerful person in the world."

Yuchi Baoqi was noncommittal: "If you want to buy weapons and equipment, come with me to the Tianwei Army barracks later. However, the settlement methods for these weapons and equipment transactions will be a little different."

When the Sogdian envoy heard Yuchi Baoqi's words, didn't he mean that he could sell it to himself? The stone hanging in my heart has been put down halfway, but what does this different settlement method mean? Aren't they all using Tang Dynasty treasure notes and gold and silver?

As soon as he left, there was still some time before dark, and the military trade of tattered cold weapons was easily settled in minutes. Yuchi Baoqi followed Li Shimin and got directly into his Datang Royal No. 1 car.

These Sogdian envoys were not so lucky to travel by car, but the shock-absorbing carriages kept by the E-Government allowed them to reach the Tianwei Army camp comfortably.

In the car, Yuchi Baoqi asked Li Shimin about his plans for the Tang Dynasty: "I can see, Old Li, that you don't really want to fight again. The current territory of the Tang Dynasty and the overseas colonies have far exceeded the first year of Zhenguan. What I mean is that the next step is to develop the domestic people's livelihood, economy and military strength. The Tang Dynasty, which was surrounded by powerful enemies, no longer exists. "

Li Shimin put his hands on his knees: "Yes, the Harsha Dynasty, Liuzhao, Goguryeo, Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and even the Rakshasa in the north have been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The stalls are too big to play with. ah."

Yuchi Baoqi put his hand on Li Shimin's thigh and patted it: "The next twenty years will be the twenty years of development. To ensure Datang's status in the world, efforts must be made both internally and externally."

"The research and development of Tianwei Army's weapons will continue. Some production lines will be converted from military to civilian, which will increase the happiness of the people. A large number of factories will be built. As the only country in the world with a large number of industries, we will build as many as possible Use industrial products to plunder other countries’ resources through trade.”

"The domestic demand is stability, the people can live a good life, and there will be no civil strife if there is hope for life. I plan to disband part of the army, and then refine some soldiers to join the Tianwei Army, and then establish a complete household registration system. Except for business registration, all Convert household registration to national registration.”

When the car stopped, Wang De reminded him softly that he had arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi. Yuchi Baoqi thought for a moment: "It's not easy for the Sogdians to enter Zhuangzi. Let's wait for them to go in together."

Li Shimin took a deep breath: "Xiaobao, you can do whatever you want. Gao Ming has done a good job in Lingnan. When he develops Lingnan to a certain extent, you two can develop the Tang Dynasty. I want to work with your mother. Travel around and have fun and see the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty.”

Yuchi Baoqi lay directly on Li Shimin's lap, resting on the dragon's legs and it felt good: "Then we have to wait until my uncle can stand up. Aren't officials from all over the country going to Beijing to report on their duties in a while? By then Baoli Trading Company will collect A lot of people’s livelihood problems are bothering us.”

"It doesn't matter, just be bothersome. You are doing things for the sake of the people and your own reputation."

Li Shimin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, have you thought about the child's name?"

Yuchi Baoqi yawned: "If there is him at sea, let's call him Yuchi Canglan. I think it's pretty good. I asked my father and he has no objection."

Li Shimin twirled his beard: "The sky is cold and the waves are like waves. You have high hopes for this child."

Yuchi Baoqi jumped up and said, "This is a big size! Of course you have to practice hard. I'm just waiting for my second child to have a fat girl, like Xiao Tao'er."
