Li Shimin

Chapter 395 The Real World Territory

"Return to His Majesty, it must be possible!"

Changsun Wuji said affirmatively.

On the side, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also nodded repeatedly.

"Is it the land of kings all over the world? If those aristocratic families really conquered some feudal states and I crowned them kings, wouldn't that mean raising a group of hungry wolves for Datang again?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"This……"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others immediately shut up.

After thinking for a while, Changsun Wuji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. Even if those aristocratic families attack some small barbarian countries with a small population, they will not be able to develop within a few decades. Tang, it hasn't been hundreds of years, and we can't gather so many troops!"

"It doesn't matter. Compared with those, these aristocratic families are the current serious troubles of Datang!"

Li Shimin exhaled lightly and waved his hands casually.

On the side, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also nodded repeatedly.

……

The next day, Li Shimin really will tell the matter at the court meeting.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the hall.

However, this time, it was a group of military generals who opposed it, while people from a group of aristocratic families actively supported it, shouting for Your Majesty's wisdom.

Anyway, no matter what, this matter is very beneficial to the family.

Moreover, within a few days, these news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and all the families were holding family meetings.

For these, Li Xuan did not pay too much attention.

Since Li Xuan told Li Shimin to let those aristocratic families attack the barbarian countries outside the Tang Dynasty and let these aristocratic families harm those barbarians.

Li Xuan came to the paper mill.

Ask Mo Laosi, Li Dashi and others to make him a six-foot-square bamboo paper.

Stretched out, it is about two meters in length and width.

And Li Xuan specifically requested that this kind of paper must be strong and durable.

Therefore, Mo Laosi, Li Dashi and others added some raw materials, and the big bamboo paper produced was twice as thick as usual, and much tougher.

Afterwards, the large paper was carefully placed flat on a special large table on the first floor.

Li Xuan started, took out a small map, and began to concentrate on drawing.

On the side, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others stood aside and watched curiously.

However, Li Xuan didn't ask them to help, and they didn't dare to help indiscriminately.

However, the more you look, the more puzzled Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and the others look.

Why are the objects drawn by the master so familiar?

In the end, after the rough outlines of all the maps came out, Li Chengqian finally couldn't bear it, and pointed to one of them, which was about the size of a washbasin.

"Master, is this piece of Tang Dynasty?"

"Isn't there the word Datang written on it? Can't you see it?"

Li Xuan said impatiently.

At this moment, Li Xuan was particularly irritable.

Because, although he remembers the outline of the world map in his previous life, and even the outline area of ​​more than half of the countries, he still remembers it.

However, this would be the Tang Dynasty, and the borders of those countries in his mind would have no effect on him at all.

"Master, why is Datang so small?"

It's just that Li Chengqian and the others, after being immersed in regret, didn't realize at all that their wife's irritable head was about to smoke.

"The Tang Dynasty is already this big, how big do you want it to be?"

Li Xuan turned his head and glared angrily at these bastards with no winks.

"But master, my Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, with fertile land thousands of miles away, why is it so small?"

Looking at the small piece of Tang territory, Li Chengqian still couldn't believe it.

"Small?"

Li Xuan turned his head and glared, "Do you know how big the whole world is? The Great Tang occupies less than [-]% of the whole world. Don't sit there and watch the sky, making others laugh for nothing!"

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty is so large that it is less than one percent of the world?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others were even more shocked.

After learning numbers, they all know the concept of one percent.

"Hmph, when did my master deceive you?"

Li Xuan snorted again, and then began to draw some national borders around the territory next to the Tang Dynasty.

Japan, Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje, East Turkic, Western Turkic, Tubo, Nanzhao, Liuqiu...

There is also a big country with a territory comparable to the Tang Dynasty, Dashi!
And as Li Xuan drew more and more details, the expressions of Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others became even more shocked.

The map drawn by the Master is very likely to be the real map of the world.

It's just that Datang is only that little, which makes them really unacceptable.

The education they have received since they were young is that the Tang Dynasty is the largest country in the world and the kingdom of heaven.

But now, they suddenly learned that besides the Great Tang, there is actually so much territory.There is even a country the size of Datang.

Li Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to this.

"According to this map, you go to the west city of Chang'an City, and find some Hu merchants. Many of them know about the country of Dashi, so you can find out when you ask."

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian and the others hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, and they couldn't wait.

"In addition, on this map of my master, there are still many territories that have not been drawn on the country. If Hu merchants know about it, I will draw it later!" Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing that Li Xuan had nothing to say, the little bastards quickly ran out with a few blueprints.

Along the way, he rushed into the West Market in a menacing manner.

West Market is the most prosperous neighborhood in Chang'an City. Because it is close to Chang'an West Gate, merchants from the Western Regions came to Chang'an.They will unload, trade and rest at the nearest West Market.

Therefore, the West Market is also the center where Hu merchants from the Western Regions gathered. All the major merchants in the Tang Dynasty also set up shops in the West Market.

In the West City, Hu merchants leading horses and camels can be seen everywhere.

At the same time, Marquis Wu, who was patrolling the streets, followed one after another, so that those bad guys and rangers did not dare to make trouble in West Market.

However, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others were obviously not included.

They were all old acquaintances, when Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others got off the carriage in a hurry.

The Hu merchants on the street couldn't help feeling bitter, and quickly avoided these plague gods.

And a team of Marquis Wu, bit the bullet and greeted them.

"The villain has met a few young men, I don't know why these young men are lucky enough to come to the West Market today?"

"Old Li Tou?"

Seeing a familiar face, Cheng Chusi laughed, "I came here to find a few well-informed merchants, show me a map, and you don't need to worry."

"I see!"

Hearing this, all the Marquis Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Xiao Lang is here to find well-informed Hu merchants, he might as well go to the teahouse in front of him instead of catching them on the street!" Old Li Tou continued.

"Tea house?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and the others were startled.

"You guys, in the West Market, only those big Hu merchants can go to the teahouse to drink tea and discuss business. Therefore, the villain thinks that the Hu merchants who can enter the teahouse are the people you guys are looking for!" Old Li head hurriedly report.

"Okay, old Li, you are usually very cunning, but you didn't expect to be so witty in these matters. I accept your suggestion. This is a lot of money. Take it to drink tea!"

Cheng Chusi was overjoyed, and casually took out a sling of money from the purse at his waist, and handed it to Old Li.

Immediately, a group of people went directly to the teahouse.

Behind him, looking at the sling of money in his hand, Old Li's face was full of astonishment, and he was slightly relieved, "I didn't expect these young men to study under Jin Wang's school for a period of time, but they have improved a lot!"
