Li Shimin

Chapter 879 No money to pay?Sign the deed of sale!

After listening to the translator's translation, Li Shimin's eyes widened involuntarily, and then he looked helpless. He was a little embarrassed to continue to force the majestic king of a country to be so forced.

However, even a compensation of 50 yuan is not enough for a [-] army and [-] large ships to conquer the Great Food Kingdom from such a long distance.

Now, these big food countries can't even come up with 50 yuan!
"How much money and food can you compensate Datang?"

Li Shimin asked again.

After hearing the translator's words, Umar's face brightened, and he quickly said, "My kind Emperor Tang, I, the Arabs, can compensate another four times the property, and there is still food for 10 people for a month!"

After speaking, he looked at Li Shimin cautiously.

"what?"

As Umar expected in his heart, after he finished speaking, the Emperor Datang opposite him was full of anger.

Similarly, all the Tang generals around him also stared at him fiercely!
"Don't you Dashi barbarians think that the people of Tang Dynasty are easy to bully?"

Li Shimin said harshly, "You must pay six times the property, and there are two months' food for 10 people!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Tang!"

Now, Umar didn't dare to bargain any more.

However, thinking of so many belongings and food, my eyelids twitched with distress.

At this time, Li Chenglu who was on the side whispered: "Your Majesty, since these big cannibals can't afford property and food, they can use other things instead!"

"Something else?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, "But it's okay to say!"

"City Deed!"

Li Chenglu said.

"My Tang Dynasty soldiers can't make this trip in vain. Since the barren Dashi can't produce enough property, you can sell land and cities to Datang!"

"City deed?"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others, inexplicably appeared a figure in their minds, with strange eyes, and nodded subconsciously at the same time.

"Very good!"

And when Omar heard Li Shimin's request again, he also had a strange expression.

Although they don't have land deeds and city deeds, they also have contracts.

However, it takes a year to come to Dashi from Datang, even if the people of Datang have a city lease, so what?
However, as long as a contract can save the Arabs some property and food, Umar agreed without hesitation.

"A city contract deducts double the property, or a month's food for a [-] army. The Dashi barbarians owe me four months of food for the [-] army of the Tang Dynasty, and four times the property, so we need to sign eight cities. contract!" Li Chenglu said slowly.

"What, the contract of eight cities? No, no! Allah will never forgive me for such a traitorous thing!"

Umar shook his head again and again, his eyes full of determination! "Moreover, a city can be worth three times as much property!"

"You barbarian think I'm negotiating with you?"

Li Shimin glanced at Umar lightly, "This city of Saar was captured by me, so it is not included in this list. In addition, give me eight more cities! You hand over the contract and property, and I will Retreat, otherwise, what will these big Tang boys under my command do when they are idle and bored, even if your Allah is resurrected, I can't control it!"

After listening to the translator's translation, and looking at Li Shimin's expression, Omar suddenly felt that if he dared to refuse again, he would really anger the Tang emperor in front of him, so he nodded quickly.

After Omar left, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others looked at Li Chenglu curiously.

"Chenglu, Dashi is so far away from my Tang Dynasty, and I won't come to Tang Dynasty once in a few years. What's the use of these contracts with Dashi's barbarian cities?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, elders, anyway, the Dashi barbarians don't have any extra property and food to compensate my Tang Dynasty. If they can ask for more things, they can also reduce my loss to Datang.

The most important thing is that with the contract signed and sealed by the Lord of the Great Food Kingdom, then these nine cities are the cities of my Datang.

In this way, my Tang soldiers will come here to train again in the future, and they will become famous! "

Li Chenglu explained slowly.

"Great!"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others nodded in satisfaction.

So far, the [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have fallen into a state of having nothing to do.

And those schools of fish, large and small, in the surrounding waters suffered another blow.

Until ten days later.

The Dashi Umar brought a group of soldiers, escorted hundreds of carts, and many Dashi barbarians, carrying bags of grain on his shoulders, to the city of Saar.

After receiving.

Day two.

Li Shimin and all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who had already thought about returning, set sail directly.

Standing on the edge of the cliff outside the city of Saar, looking at the huge fleet going away, the Arab Caliph Umar and the Arab nobles all looked rejoiced.

"God bless, these shameless Tang robbers are finally gone!"

"God bless, I hope that this kind of Tang people will never come to our Arabian land again!"

"Tell all the Arab people that you must not provoke any Datang people in the future, and you must not provoke Datang people!"

"Please rest assured, the great Prophet Caliph, we will definitely pass on the meaning of the great Prophet Caliph to every Arab citizen..."

……

Li Shimin, Li Chenglu and the others didn't know the thoughts of these big food barbarians, and they didn't bother to know.

This kind of barbarian and weak country that is not even as powerful as Turkic and Goguryeo is not worthy of Tang Dynasty's attention.

Although the ending of the conquest of the Great Food was not so satisfying, the matter is over.

The next step is to go to Australia, where Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others most want to go.

The journey from Dashi to Australia is about the same distance as the journey from Dashi back to Datang, and half of the journey overlaps.

However, since the whole fleet has already gone once.

I am also familiar with the route a lot.

Therefore, the time to go to Australia is almost a month shorter than the time to go to Dashi from Datang.

There are no aboriginals in Australia at this time, only boundless lush ancient trees, dense jungles, and giant two-legged beasts that jump out of the grass from time to time?
Standing on the big ship and looking towards Australia, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, who saw Australia for the first time, were all amazed.

"Such lush trees must have very fertile soil, which is a natural high-quality farmland!"

"God bless my Great Tang, if this land is full of grain, it will be enough for the people of my Great Tang to eat for many years!"

As they said that, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others seemed to have discovered something new, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ok?"

"What is that? Why is it jumping on two feet? It looks like a mouse, but it is dozens of times bigger than a mouse? Can it be as tall as a human?"

"Besides, these big rats are still fighting soldiers? After such a long time, they still haven't lost?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, gentlemen, I don't even know the name of this animal that looks like a big mouse!"

Captain Li Changling, who had already led troops stationed in Australia, didn't need to look at it, he knew what Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others were marveling at, so he quickly explained.

"However, on this big island, there are many such big mice. Only the last general and others found tens of thousands of them."

"Fortunately, although these big rats are powerful, they are herbivores. Generally, they don't attack generals and others, but they like to punch. Moreover, if someone can get used to playing with these big rats, they can find these big rats every day. Rats punched and wrestled.

Since the last general and others came to Australia, in addition to reclaiming fertile land, building houses, and digging gold and silver mines, it is the joy of the last general and others to fight with these big mice! "

"Fist?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others could not help but brighten up.

"Go and find a few big rats, the old man will fight these big rats head to head! Let's see how capable these big rats are on Treasure Island!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Li Changling's face was shocked, and he quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the county king, you old generals, although these big mice on this island often fight with us, but because these big mice are animals, they are stronger than some soldiers. Big, I don't know the severity of the strike. Many soldiers like me will be injured by these big rats if they are not careful!

Your majesty, the county king and other old generals are so dignified, how can they fight these big rats? "

"Your Majesty, what this general said is justified. These big mice don't know how to attack. If they accidentally hurt His Majesty, or the county king and other old generals, this general, all the soldiers on the island, and even the guards on the big ship Even if the guards are not punished, it will be a stain on their lives!"

Li Chenglu also persuaded him.

"Therefore, Cheng Lu also implores His Majesty and the elders, for your safety and for the sake of these soldiers, just take a look at these big rats and never get close to them."

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others opened their mouths to defend themselves.

However, I heard Li Chenglu say again: "Besides, before Chenglu went to sea with His Majesty, Aye also specifically explained to Chenglu that these barbarian places overseas are tens of thousands of miles away from our Tang Dynasty. Animals have great curiosity.

Especially, these animals that can hurt people.

The distance between Datang and Australia is so far, the diseases of these barbarian lands are different from those of my land of Tang Dynasty.If these animals are infected with some smallpox-like germs, they will die directly.

More seriously, it is possible to bring these germs into the Tang Dynasty, so that to me, the Tang Dynasty, I will be a sinner through the ages! "

"Then what should these soldiers do?"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others asked nervously.

Similarly, Li Changling, who was standing aside, was also nervous.

These people have been in Australia for more than a year, and I don't know how many times they have fought against those big mice.

During this period, they don't know how many injuries they have suffered?
What if they contracted those diseases? ...

"Your Majesty, these soldiers have been in Australia for such a long time. If they were infected, they would have been infected long ago. But now, seeing how lively they are, it shouldn't be a problem.

As long as they don't have some strange symptoms when they go back to Datang, and they don't bring Australian animals to Datang, nothing will happen. "

Li Chenglu explained slowly.

"I see!"

Li Shimin, Li Changling and others also felt relieved.

As early as ten years ago, Jin Wang Li Xuanba had already issued a ban on all the ships of Datang, strictly bringing animals and raw meat from those continents and islands other than Datang back to Datang.

Moreover, a special sea inspection department has been set up.

Every year, hundreds of such things are seized.

As long as it is seized, not only will the animals and raw meat brought back be burned directly, but the person who brought them will be severely punished.

With Li Chenglu's persuasion, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others also lost the interest to find those big mice who are as tall as a person to catch and punch.

After a night's rest.

On the second day, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and other veterans, under the leadership of Li Changling, went to check the fields that Datang had planted experimentally in Australia in the past few years, as well as the excavated gold, silver, iron ores and other ores.

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, our Tang Dynasty has migrated to Australia, a total of 50 people, criminals, and military households, and cultivated [-] acres of fertile land. Wheat, rice, corn, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc. of all food.

However, among them, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn have the highest yields.

Sweet potatoes can yield sixteen stones per mu, potatoes ten stones, and corn twelve stones.

And the output of wheat, rice, pumpkin, pepper and other grains has also increased a lot, at least two stones higher than my Datang! "

As he spoke, Li Changling walked directly to a sweet potato for fear that Li Shimin would suspect it, inserted his hand into the soil, shook it vigorously a few times, and when he stretched out again, he had already taken out a large bunch of sweet potatoes in his hand.

Each sweet potato was as thick as his arm, even twice the size of the sweet potatoes in Chang'an Lijiazhuang.

"hiss……"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others also grow sweet potatoes in their homes, and they are most aware of the size of sweet potatoes. This sweet potato weighs at least ten catties!

However, they have never seen that sweet potatoes can grow so big?

"Li Changling, can Australian sweet potatoes grow so big?" Li Xiaogong asked directly.

"Back to the king of the county, the last general will never dare to lie to His Majesty and the old generals. You can dig a few sweet potatoes here!"

"Just wait for your boy's words!"

Li Xiaogong chuckled, walked a few steps aside, and stopped in front of an unremarkable sweet potato.

Then, imitating Li Changling's movements, he reached out and inserted his hand into the soil.

Sure enough, before using any force, I touched a huge sweet potato. I grabbed the sweet potato and shook it from side to side a few times. I guessed that this piece of sweet potato was loose. Then I pulled along the root of the sweet potato, and the whole sweet potato was crushed from the soil. Pulled out.

And this will.

Li Shimin, Niu Jinda and the others also each found a sweet potato and pulled it out.

The bunch of sweet potatoes in each person's hands is extremely huge, weighing more than twelve catties.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the treasure island of my Tang Dynasty!"

At this moment, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others couldn't help but look happy, and when they looked up at the boundless fertile land in front of them again, their eyes were full of determination.

This kind of treasure island now only has [-] Tang citizens, which is still a little small!

……
