The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1404

Ryukyu, a land outside of Hua, not to mention the aborigines on the island, is the natural environment, which is no different from the six kingdoms of Nanzhao. There are many bushes and miasma. If you want to make a fortune in that place, you must have enough Just be prepared.

And this time, if he wanted to go well, Xuan Shijing had to go with him.

Risk always coexists with opportunity. The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. This is the reason for going to Ryukyu.

"In this way, the matter of the fleet going to Ryukyu must be negotiated as soon as possible." His Majesty Li Er said, and then shouted to the outside of the hall: "Deyi."

Hou Deyi at the entrance of the side hall walked into the hall after hearing His Majesty Li Er's voice.

"The old slave is here."

"Decree, Liu Ren is willing to enter the palace immediately to face the saint."

"No." Deyi responded.

Originally, Liu Renyuan stayed in Dengzhou. He returned to Chang'an during the Chinese New Year years ago, and lived in Chang'an for a while. He originally planned to leave for Dengzhou in May. Now it just happened to be in time. No wonder It seems that His Majesty Li Er likes Liu Renyuan in this matter.

"Jing'er, your memorial has really solved my urgent need." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "The conversation between you and me today is full of motivation."

Xuan Shijing smiled and cupped his hands: "I just did my duty as a subject."

"As for the land equalization system and rent adjustment, this matter is very important. I will choose a date to discuss with the ministers. The matter of the merchants will be postponed for the time being. I will entrust you with the full power of the Datang Navy to go to Ryukyu. I will make an order , I will appoint you as the envoy of Quanzhou Economic Strategy, my treasury, and the future economic strategy of the Tang Dynasty, all depends on you this time." His Majesty Li Er said.

If it succeeds this time, it will be exciting, and it will also get enough benefits. In the future, things will naturally go smoothly. Everyone in the middle class was labeled as a wasteful national slave. Thinking about it again, it was even more difficult. Not only did they have to face the unknown environment, but they also had to withstand the pressure from the court.

So this trip must be a success!

And Xuan Shijing's cognition of Ryukyu is only on paper. Today's Ryukyu is not the treasure island that Xuan Shijing has seen before, so everything has to start from scratch.

Xuan Shijing served as the economic envoy of Quanzhou. As long as Liu Ren is willing to prepare properly, the two will leave for Quanzhou to start this journey and complete the expansion of Datang again.

Today's Ryukyu is still a "land without owner".

Xuan Shijing stayed in the side hall of Zichen Palace, waiting for Liu Renyuan's arrival together with His Majesty Li Er.In less than half an hour, Liu Renyuan arrived at the Zichen Palace. He didn't have time to change the armor on his body. He just handed over the weapons to the Imperial Forest Army at the gate of the palace, and came here. Before entering the side hall, Xuan Shijing heard him The sound of the armor on the body colliding.

Liu Renyuan entered the side hall, came to His Majesty Li Er, bowed and bowed his hands in salute.

"Your Majesty Liu Ren would like to see His Majesty."

After saluting to His Majesty Li Er, he bowed his hands towards Xuan Shijing, who also bowed his hands in return.

"Today, there are only you and I in the inner palace, so there is no need to be more polite." His Majesty Li Er said, "To call you here in such a hurry today is because I have something important to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty ordered that I will never quit." Liu Renyuan clapped his hands in response.

This was the first time Xuan Shijing had such close contact with Liu Renyuan. The two of them were in the same hall before, and it was only during the court meeting. One was a civil servant and the other was a general. There were several pillars in the hall between them.

After this contact, Xuan Shijing discovered that at the same time he was born as a general, Liu Renyuan was different from Liu Rengui.

The two have similar names, and they are both military generals. Coincidentally, they are both in charge of the navy. It is inevitable that they will be compared, and Xuan Shijing is no exception.

The first impression that Liu Renyuan gave Xuan Shijing was straightness, the integrity of a man in the army, while Liu Rengui was more tactful as an official, this was the most profound and prominent point that impressed Xuan Shijing.

His Majesty Li Er heard Liu Renyuan's words, and waved his hands: "You don't need to die, look at this."

His Majesty Li Er handed the drawings drawn by Xuan Shijing to Liu Renyuan.

"Do you know this place?" His Majesty Li Er's finger was only on the Ryukyu.

"Ryukyu, Ancient Yi Prefecture." Liu Renyuan said.

As the commander of the navy, Liu Renyuan would not be ignorant of this. There are records of this place in ancient books, and he has also read it.

"That's right, Ryukyu, the Duke of Jinyang and I mentioned this place just now, saying that this is a good place, a place that can become the second treasury of my Tang Dynasty." His Majesty Li Er said: "I don't need to hide it. You, Datang is now at the bottom of its national treasury, this is a way to make a fortune proposed by Duke Jinyang, and I plan to try it."

His Majesty Li Er said so, and Liu Renyuan knew that he was going to use the navy under him, and the target was Ryukyu.

"I have appointed the Duke of Jinyang County as the envoy of the Quanzhou Economic Strategy, and Liu Ren wishes that you, as the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy, will cooperate with the Duke of Jinyang County." His Majesty Li Er said: "I have placed great hopes in this matter. I hope you two will not disappoint me."

"Yes." Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan clapped their hands together in response.

The purpose of calling Liu Renyuan into the palace was not to discuss with him what to do, but to inform him, to let him cooperate with Xuan Shijing, to handle this matter well and beautifully.

As for what to do specifically, His Majesty Li Er meant that Liu Ren would listen to Xuan Shijing's words.

Now that the matter has come to an end, the two of them don't need to stay in the palace anymore. His Majesty Li Er has to chew on what Xuan Shijing said to him now, and think about other issues, such as the mediocrity of the current Tang dynasty. The system, the land equalization system, tried to find a way to change the bad things that Xuan Shijing raised.

This is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and troublesome matter, but it is something that has to be dealt with. This is also the foundation of the country. Rather than being forced to change it in the future, it is better to get rid of this stubborn disease now while the fundamentals are not shaken.

Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan left Zichen Palace together, walking in the palace, Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan chatted for a while, it was considered to be familiar with each other, and the two will work together for quite a long time in the future.

"General Liu, although His Majesty said that General Liu would cooperate with me in this matter, I am just a layman to the navy. There are many things that General Liu needs to worry about, especially the sea area from Quanzhou Port to Ryukyu. Information, this is the most important thing." Xuan Shijing said.

Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan are very easy-going when they talk, so Liu Renyuan feels that Xuan Shijing is not a difficult person to get along with, and it would be great if they can work together smoothly.

Originally, I thought that Xuan Shijing would be a domineering young man because he was already a high-ranking and powerful man at such a young age. He had led the army and destroyed the country.
