Li Shimin

Chapter 475 Test Ship
Inugami Mita shuddered all over, his face was pale, and he looked closely at Li Xuan.

"Need not!"

Li Xuan's words made Inuami Mita heave a sigh of relief.

"My Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. When there is no need to kill, how can I kill people so casually!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xue Rengui clasped his hands in response.

"However, in the Japanese mission, there are books on my Tang Dynasty's forbidden skills, you and Cheng Chusi and others go to check, pick out those bookshelves, and replace them with books that are allowed to be passed on!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xue Rengui replied again.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others, Xue Rengui and others, who were eager to try, went back to the Honglu guest house again with Inugami Santian.

He checked all the books and objects bought by everyone in Inugamisita, one by one.

Agricultural books, medical books, heavenly books, hundreds of crafts, smelting, farming... etc., as long as they are books related to technology, they are not allowed to be taken back.

Only Buddhist scriptures, as well as related entertainment books such as Cuju, Kite, Baixi, Go, Rishe, and Touhu, etc., can be taken away.

So, Inugami Mita and others worked hard to buy books all afternoon, and there was less than half of them left.

In this regard, Li Chengqian, adhering to the principle of not letting the envoys of small countries suffer, replaced Inugami Santian with some books related to Buddhist scriptures, Cuju, Lishe, Baixi, and ritual music.

At the same time, a stone of refined salt, a stone of dried pickles, and dozens of glass utensils were presented as gifts... and other special delicacies that have recently appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

In this regard, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Inugami Mita and others has dissipated a lot, so I am grateful.

Not to mention anything else, the snow-white refined salt, salty and crispy dried pickles, and all kinds of crystal clear glass utensils, he knows how expensive these items are.

As long as they dedicate it to His Majesty the Emperor, not only will they not lose money on this mission, but they will make a lot of money.

However, the only pity is that the skills that the Emperor and Patriarch specially explained were not available for purchase.

Afterwards, Inugami Mita and other Japanese missions took the permission issued by Li Chengqian to issue Tang documents, and under Li Chengqian's recommendation, they contracted ten four-wheeled carriages and went all the way to Qingzhou.

The Tang Dynasty was terrible, completely contrary to what the ancestors said, and he was not friendly at all to foreign envoys.

However, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of delicacies, all kinds of exquisite objects, and the beautiful women of the Tang Dynasty made the Japanese envoys such as Inugami Mita very envious.

Moreover, as long as they follow the wishes of that King Jin, they will not be in any danger!

……

Two days later.

Li Xuan also brought Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others to Qingzhou.

"Master, why did you let those Japanese missions leave so easily this time?"

In the car, Li Chengqian still couldn't figure it out.

Since those Japanese people have bad intentions, they should all be executed directly.

"Killing those Japanese people, what good will it do me, Datang?"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, then explained slowly: "This matter is already an exchange between countries!"

"Killing those Japanese envoys in Inugami Sandasu can only add some fertilizer to my land in Tang Dynasty. However, from now on, in the next few years, the Japanese country will not know that these envoys sent to Tang Dynasty are dead, and will not send them to Datang again. Mission."

"And if Inugami Mitasu and others are allowed to leave, and they are allowed to bring novelty items such as refined salt, dried pickles, glass, etc., the Japanese nobles will definitely send the fleet over again after being overjoyed.

Or, bring enough tuition fees and let those Japanese send Tang envoys to me to study.Or, just buy those items wantonly and send me more money to Datang!

Or, maybe both.

Wouldn't it be the best result to be so beneficial to others and self? "

"Moreover, my Tang Dynasty has never sent a fleet to the country of Wa, and I don't know the sea route between my country of Tang Dynasty and the country of Wa. Only by letting those Japanese ships run a lot, can I know how to cross this wide ocean. Arrived in Wa country!"

After Li Xuan finished speaking, the eyes of Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others lit up.

"Master, do you want those Japanese envoys to guide us?"

"naturally!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Also, don't you think that the Wa country is poor, but it is still a country, and there are gold mines and silver mines, plus those lands, it is a lot of wealth!"

After listening, the eyes of Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others were full of green light again.

Then, thinking of something, Li Chengqian asked again: "Master, if the Japanese envoys really come to our Tang Dynasty to learn those knowledge and skills, and bring them back to the Japanese country, what should we do?"

"Since it is at sea, kill it!"

On the side, Cheng Chusi grinned fiercely.

"Vastly vulgar!"

Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi, "You are so bloodthirsty at such a young age!"

"Master, what should I do if I don't kill him?"

Li Chengqian asked.

"It's not a day's work for those Japanese missions to learn the vast knowledge and skills of my Tang Dynasty. And after three to five years, you won't be able to win a Japanese country?

Besides, in the former Sui Dynasty, a group of Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty by the Japanese had already returned to the Japanese country.This time, as long as those Japanese people are not allowed to bring those skill books back to the Japanese country! "

Li Xuan explained with a righteous face.

It has not been a day or two since he plotted against the Wa country.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others all looked at Li Xuan with admiration.

"Master is still wise!"

……

A few days later, a convoy of people arrived in Qingzhou.

Shipyard!
The principal Yao Cheng, the school captain Li Lun, and the boat builders such as Letai were all at the gate, and they greeted Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others respectfully.

Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others saw a huge steel ship in a huge dock.

It is more than 20 feet long and twelve feet high!

The entire ship is made of fine steel, but the structure of the ship is the same as that of ordinary huge ships.

Above, there are three rows of masts erected, stretched with specially made sailcloth for the navy.

On both sides, there are also upper and lower layers of paddle holes.

On board, hundreds of soldiers and boatmen were busy.

"Li Baoliang, the chief executive of the villain Iron and Steel Cangship, see the Supreme Emperor, see His Royal Highness King Jin, and Prince Hejian!"

A dark middle-aged man came over and bowed his hands respectfully to Li Xuan, Li Yuan and the others.

Upon hearing the name, Li Xuan knew that this person must be the illegitimate son of the Li family.

Sure enough, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong asked Li Baoliang directly without any surprise.

"How fast can this giant steel ship travel on the sea?"

"Going back to the Supreme Emperor, you can travel four hundred miles a day!" Li Baoliang quickly replied.

"Four hundred miles?"

Both Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong couldn't believe it.

"Can I have a try today?"

"As the Supreme Emperor orders!"

Li Baoliang bowed his hands in salute.

He has been on this steel ship for nearly two months, and finally waited for the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

"So, the old man is going to try it!" Li Yuan said.

"Yes!"

Li Baoliang also responded quickly.

Afterwards, following Li Baoliang's order, all the boatmen and a group of soldiers on the ship quickly stood in their respective positions.

Paddle on both sides.

At the same time, the entire giant steel ship also began to vibrate slightly.

A strange noise came from under the huge ship, accompanied by thick black smoke.

"But it's out of water?"

Seeing this, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help being surprised.
