How can I allow you and others to get involved in my old lady's Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 54 Viewing the World

When Wang De went to get the map from Li Xiuming's bedroom, Li Yuanyou asked in puzzlement, "Pingyang, I have heard your mother say that since the Tang Dynasty, I have crossed the ocean to the east, and there is a continent as big as it is. No less than the two Central Plains, the people in the land are descendants of Shaohao, was it ever true?"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "But this place is very far away. If you are unlucky, you will be lost in the vast ocean. The ship will be destroyed and people will die without a trace."

"Then how did the descendants of Shaohao arrive?"

"From our Great Tang to the north, to the extremely arctic place, the wind and frost, the climate is cold, and the ocean is frozen. Our continent and this continent are connected by an ice bridge, and the descendants of Shaohao may have crossed the sea through this. "Li Xiuning said that the Emoskis and Indians probably have this kind of origin.

"That land is rich in products. There are grains that can produce more than ten stones per mu, and there are endless forests and trees, gold, silver and jewelry, and rare animals." Li Xiuning said, she felt that what she wanted to say should be more boastful, even if If you can't go now, you will definitely go in the future.

To start the era of great navigation in the Tang Dynasty, don't limit the eyes of the Tang people to the mainland. The goal of the people of the Tang Dynasty should be the stars and the sea.

The territory above the mainland, for Datang, the places next to each other are tasteless.

To the north is the prairie. The Turks are rampant now. It will take a few years until Li Jing destroys the Turks before they can calm down for a while. Besides, the Central Plains is a farming civilization, and the grassland is more suitable for nomadic civilization. For the Tang Dynasty, food is tasteless , It's a pity to abandon it.

To the west are the countries of the Western Regions. Although many countries in the Western Regions were destroyed later, the sky is full of yellow sand, and it is basically of no value except to maintain the commercial roads of the Silk Road.

To the south is Cochin, Tianzhu and other countries. Lingnan is now a land full of miasma and barbarians, let alone crossing the tropical rainforest to Baiyue.

Not to mention the east, it is a boundless sea.

"A thousand stones per mu? There is such a god in this world?" Li Yuan was shocked. If he had this thing, his achievements would be comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and he would laugh at Qin Huang and Han Wu. Even if he didn't become a fairy, he would die without regret.

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "One thing is called sweet potatoes, and the other is called corn, both of which are high-yield products. But they are far away in the sky, and they cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of Tang Dynasty in time."

"Then Pingyang, do you mean to let Jiancheng and Yuanji go to sea to find this thing?"

"I originally planned this way, but considering that it is difficult to build such a large ship to support such an ocean-going ship with the craftsman level of my Tang Dynasty at this time, and people are at sea, and various natural disasters and accidents continue. Although there are mistakes in building Yuanji, it is not wrong. As for letting their lives go for nothing." Li Xiuning said, "Actually, going south from Quanzhou to the sea, there is also a continent, no less than the land of the Central Plains."

Li Yuan was so shocked that he had nothing to say.

But then he became short of breath, and said with a flushed face, "Let these two rebellious sons go out to sea and find the supreme fetish, which can be regarded as atonement for the mistakes they committed."

Li Xiuning shook his head, "Father, it is unwise to do it knowing that it cannot be done. These two high-yielding things, after the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the development of craftsmen's level, it is not too late to think about it. Anyway, it will not be too late. Extinction, it's there, and one day it will be taken."

"Pingyang, my Tang Dynasty is newly established, the people's livelihood is dying, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. If there are these things, the national power can be quickly restored and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." Li Yuan said, "So, I think that if these two rebellious sons go to sea, it will be successful or not. No, it’s all my royal role model and my efforts for the people of the world.”

When the two were arguing, Wang De had already walked into the hall holding the map.

Li Xiuning took the map from Wang De, spread it out on the ground, and said to Li Yuan, "Father, please come and take a closer look."

In front of him is a map of the world, with only a general shape and outline.Li Xiuning just marked the country and sphere of influence she knew in the early Tang Dynasty on it.

Li Yuan glanced at the map, but couldn't move his eyes any longer.

"Is this the whole picture of the world? My Tang Dynasty is actually just a corner of this world. In ancient times, there was Yelang who was arrogant, but now there are people from Tang Dynasty sitting in a well and watching the sky." Pointing to North and South America, he said, "Is the sweet potato and corn you mentioned produced here? "

Li Xiuning nodded, "My land in the Central Plains is blessed by nature, but to the south is a land of miasma, to the north is a land of bitter cold, to the west is full of yellow sand, and to the east is a vast ocean."

"Send those two rebellious sons to the sea. Such a large piece of land must be the territory of our Tang people. The so-called universal land, is it the land of the king? Now that I have seen it, this is my territory." Li Yuan stood up straight, His eyes were staring at the map, as if looking at a rare treasure.

Li Xiuning pointed to Oceania and said, "I suggest letting Jiancheng and Yuanji go here."

Li Yuan shook his head, "Sweet potatoes and corn are the top priority. The stability of the world must be related to the food and clothing of the people. Expansion of territory is only the merit of the king. On the premise of satisfying the merits of the king, let the people of the world get real benefits. It is something an emperor should consider."

Li Xiuning glanced at Li Yuan in surprise, the founding emperor was indeed not an ordinary person, with such a broad mind, such a bearing, to be able to say such a sentence, it is no wonder that Li Er was able to say the words of a king's boat and a people's water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat .

"Father, I can't be too ambitious. As for the food and clothing you mentioned, I have an idea." Li Xiuning looked from Chang'an all the way to Australia, and suddenly saw Jiaozhi and other places in the middle, and he actually forgot about Champa Rice.

Li Yuan looked at Li Xiuning, and the surprise in his eyes became more intense, "Hurry up."

Li Xiuning pointed to the lower part of the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, and said, "There is rice in the land of Jiaozhi, which is resistant to drought and has a stable yield. What's more, after planting this rice, you can replant another round of other crops, which is called double cropping." , so that the yield per mu can be doubled.”

The large-scale planting of Champa rice in history should have been during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.And this thing is actually not as mysterious as it is said in history. What is cropping twice a year and cropping three times every two years is just to replant a round of barley and other crops after harvesting rice that year.It was popularized in the Northern Song Dynasty mainly because it is drought-resistant, easy to feed, and tastes much better than millet and barley.

"Jiaozhi? This place is not far away." Li Yuan said, "I would like to send one or two generals to lead the troops and bring back the rice seeds."

Li Xiuning thought about it, and it seemed that he had missed something. After all, he did not come from an agricultural background, so improving crop yields and farming efficiency was not his specialty.

But efficiency?Improve efficiency, why did my mother forget this thing?Quyuanli, how much labor can be saved by this.

Where did the blueprint for this thing come from?It seems that I have seen this kind of thing in a certain museum before, so it should not be difficult to draw it like a cat or a tiger.

There are quite a few officials under Li Yuan who are proficient in farming, so let them study the drawings. I don’t have much time left, and I have a few days left. Now I have to make proper arrangements for the follow-up matters of Xuanwumen. Only when Li Yuan abdicated willingly could he complete the dungeon mission perfectly.

In history, Li Yuan abdicated a few months later, but now he can't control that much anymore.

Take your time, take your time.There are still many things to do by myself.Although this is just a dungeon world, in just a few days, Li Xiuning felt that this was also a real world.

The people in this world are not as dull as in the game world, they are all flesh and blood characters, this is also a real world, I can't just leave and leave a big mess.
