Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 123: My father-in-law is here, how can I not see him!

"Keming, when you get there, if you have a chance, remember... to take a look at Changle for me."

"I...I..."

Li Shimin hesitated to speak. When he mentioned Changle, he was always full of guilt and regret.

It was his impulse that ruined...her life...

Li Shimin pursed his lips, then took a deep breath, and said seriously and clearly: "I want to know how she is doing."

Du Ruhui naturally knew what Li Shimin was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I will do as I am told!"

Say it.

No more words.

He led a mighty envoy, aiming directly at Great Yan.

This is a journey with heavy tasks.

….….….….….….
a few days later.

Dayan, Yanyun City.

Yanyun Palace.

Li Kuan was still handling government affairs, and there was a cradle next to him. On the cradle was a sleeping little guy with a doll-like face.

This is his child.

A child who is connected by flesh and blood, connected by blood, and is closer than anyone else in the world.

sometimes.

Even when dealing with government affairs, Li Kuan always took this little guy with him, and the little guy never cried or made trouble. He spent time alone with Li Kuan in Yanyun Palace, either sleeping or looking at Li Kuan.

Sometimes Li Kuan feels tired from dealing with government affairs. When he lies down for a while and looks at the little guy Qin Yingying, both the little guy and him will smile knowingly.

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Chen Qingzhi walked in.

He was walking in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to do.

Li Kuan did not speak immediately, but made a silence gesture, and then asked the palace servants to gently take the sleeping little guy down, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

Chen Qingzhi took out a letter and handed it to Li Kuan: "Datang sent us a letter from Dayan, saying that you should open it in person and take a look."

Letter from the Tang Dynasty….
Li Kuan's eyes flickered.

In his memory, this was the first time he had received a letter from the Tang Dynasty that he could only open since he became the lord of the Great Yan Kingdom and even left the land of the Tang Dynasty.

"interesting."

Li Kuan laughed and began to open the letter.

Without reading the letter, he knew that this must be a big deal.

After watching it, I knew in my heart that this was indeed a big deal!

He looked at it for a long time, then put down the letter and said with twinkling eyes: "Zi Yun, there is a delegation from the Tang Dynasty coming to our Dayan. What do you think?"

Chen Qingzhi was stunned, then smiled and said: "This thing... is quite interesting. They actually want to come to our Great Yan. If what I expected is correct, Your Majesty, no envoys from the Tang Dynasty have ever been sent to other countries. They are all other countries." The state sends their envoys.”

"This also shows that the strength of our Great Yan has been recognized by the Tang Dynasty, so they sent a delegation to study."

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that we cannot agree!"

"If the envoys of the Tang Dynasty arrive, you...of course have to show your face, and you also know that your identity cannot be known to them! This is not conducive to the development of our Great Yan, at least for now."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "You are right, but I am already ready to agree."

Chen Qingzhi was stunned: "Your Majesty, why is this...?"

He doesn't understand.

Li Kuan handed the letter to Chen Qingzhi: "The letter mentions the main personnel of the Tang Dynasty envoy. Among them, my father-in-law is among them, and he is also the leader."

Chen Qingzhi's eyes flickered.

Li Kuan continued to explain: "My wife, Du Ruyan, misses her hometown so much. Finally, my father-in-law came. How can I not let her take a good look at it?"

"And... I also want my father-in-law to know that her daughter is not dead, nor is she still alive. She is... the mistress of this empire! Moreover, she has a child, and everything about her is going well!! "

"Also, the relationship between my father-in-law and me is so deep, maybe we are someone we can win over, so that he can abandon the Tang Dynasty and join the Great Flame."

Li Kuan explained eloquently.

This also dispelled Chen Qingzhi's worries.

indeed!

Compared to the risk of exposing His Majesty by letting them come over, the benefits will be greater if Du Ruhui can be won over!

Even if the envoys of the Tang Dynasty visit Dayan, there will be all kinds of adverse consequences, but as long as Du Ruhui comes, it will be beneficial to Dayan!
Du Ruhui can be won over. His daughter is the mistress of Dayan, and the son-in-law he was once optimistic about is the leader of Dayan. He has a better chance than anyone else of betraying the Tang Dynasty and joining the Great Yan, thus becoming the most deeply involved person in the Tang Dynasty. people.

"Your Majesty, it seems we have to agree."

"I'll get someone to reply right away!"

Chen Qingzhi smiled broadly and prepared to leave.

But he was stopped by Li Kuan.

"and many more."

After calling Chen Qingzhi, Li Kuan thought for a moment and continued: "Datang can come, but...you have to tell them that all meal expenses, travel expenses, process fees, etc., as well as safety issues on the road, will be borne by them. .”

"In addition, tell Heshen that our core industries, factories, schools, etc., will not allow them to enter."

Li Kuan attached great importance to the latter one.

The visit of the Tang Dynasty to Dayan was just like the visits of other countries to the Tang Dynasty in history.

And about this matter.

What he said to Admiral Tiance was extremely clear...

When Li Shimin faced the various countries visiting the Tang Dynasty, he gave them whatever they had, and kept them fat and fat, so that they would become a threat to the empire in the future, just because he needed some face.

And what he said was that he would reject all foreign peeps and inquiring techniques. He would be strong in Yan, never expose his core techniques, and become the strongest in a physical sense! !

Instead of... others verbally calling him the strongest!
now.

When Chen Qingzhi heard this, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the last general! Take your orders!"

He knew Li Kuan's will, so he would explain this matter very clearly.

"Yeah." Li Kuan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "In addition, Ziyun, you can send some people, no... or you can lead some people, pretend to be bandits, and try to bring the Tang Dynasty envoy to us. All the gifts that came were taken away.”

"As long as they don't have any gifts, they won't be too embarrassed to ask me and others. As for my Dayan's property issues, we can still stand up in name."

Li Kuan spoke slowly.

His purpose for this step was clear.

He wants both face and lizi!
Chen Qingzhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you tell me about this matter, it will be handled properly."

Robbery was his specialty.

It's just that in the past, the entire town or even the city was robbed, but now it's down to individual teams.

Fortunately, General Baihu was not in Yanyun City, otherwise Chen Qingzhi would have looted it if he knew it.

Subsequently.

After seeing that Li Kuan had no other orders, Chen Qingzhi resigned slowly.

And shortly after he left.

Li Kuan wrote a letter and ordered the palace officials to go out and take care of things.Half an hour later.

Princess Changle arrived in a hurry.

When she came, it was the letter written by Li Kuan, informing her about the Tang Dynasty envoy.

"Second brother, my father... sent someone here?"

Princess Changle's beautiful eyes flashed and she asked anxiously.

If you look closely at her eyes, you will find that there is expectation hidden there.

Li Kuan saw everything and understood it.

really….
Changle doesn't have enough sense of belonging to this land, and still thinks that the Tang Dynasty is her hometown.

How can we not be excited and expectant when someone comes from our hometown?
yes~
She thinks so, how could she...how could she not think so?
After all, Datang is her hometown since she was born. How can it be changed by living in Dayan for half a year?

Not to mention Princess Changle, even Li Kuan believed that...the land in the Tang Dynasty was where his family was.

Li Kuan looked at Chang Le, quickly looked away, nodded and said, "Well, the leader is Prime Minister Du Ruhui."

Du Ruhui…….
Princess Changle pursed her red lips, thought for a moment, and said, "In this Tang Dynasty envoy, besides Prime Minister Du, will you take action against anyone else? Will you... kill them?"

She knew it.

Li Kuan and Datang had a bloody feud!
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Probably not. After all, this trip to the Tang Dynasty is not only a matter for the country of the Tang Dynasty. The countries neighboring my country, Dayan, and even more countries are watching, watching my trip to the Tang Dynasty." How does a new country that is less than a year old treat other countries?"

"Kill them brutally? Or treat them with courtesy? Or some other things, they all have little understanding of it, so... I have reasons not to attack them. As long as they don't go too far, I will naturally treat them with courtesy."

Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

In this case, that's not bad.

then.

Princess Changle seemed to have thought of something and said with bright eyes: "Second brother, are you hungry? I made delicious food, including lotus seed porridge."

Princess Changle used to not know how to cook.

After arriving in Dayan, she had no friends and was unfamiliar with this land. In addition, her only close friend, Du Ruyan, was pregnant, so she looked for something to do for herself.

Cooking is one of them.

Now that I have been studying for half a year, I have learned a good cooking skill.

"Okay! Changle, I've been craving for your food."

Li Kuan smiled.

I have to say that the dishes cooked by Princess Changle are quite delicious, and they suit his appetite very well.

"Then, I'll bring it to you right away! Just wait!"

Princess Changle smiled, said goodbye to Li Kuan, and left in a hurry.

After she left.

Li Kuan called another palace servant: "I just thought of something. It's up to you to tell He Shen to make some beautiful glass products."

"The more fancy it is, the better, such as glass products, such as glass statues of Buddha, gods, etc. that the people of the Tang Dynasty longed for."

"You make peace with Heshen. Heshen understands what I mean and lets him do it well. There is no need to explain anything."

The palace official accepted the order and immediately went down to deliver the message.

Li Kuan's instructions were actually with the intention of doing business.

Nowadays, although Dayan produces and sells its own products, a good cycle has been formed.

But if you want to develop faster, you still need more money.

Just like the rabbits of later generations, the initial development was very simple. After a few years, after selling many missiles, for [-] million US dollars each, you suddenly became rich.

This example is also applicable today.

It even applies from ancient times to the present day!

Today's Datang does have no money, but!The noble families of the Tang Dynasty were very wealthy.

and….
This person, when he is in a high position, loves face even more.

Unchanged through the ages.

Li Kuan took a sip of tea.

Then he picked up a map and placed it on the table.

Spread it out and think about it carefully.

Tubo, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Turks, Khitan, countries in the Western Regions, and the more distant Persian Empire, Arab Empire, Maurya Dynasty, Roman Empire, etc.

Are these countries... all looking at the establishment of diplomatic relations between Dayan and Datang to determine Dayan's foreign attitude?
Li Kuan didn't know if it existed, but he would rather believe that it existed than that it didn't exist.

Just do your best and don't bother wondering if they're even watching.

"His Majesty!"

Not long after, Li Shizhen and Guo Shoujing walked in.

This was what Li Kuan had ordered early. He had something to talk to Li Shizhen and Guo Shoujing about today.

"Doctor Li." Li Kuan looked at him and said loudly: "How is the research progress on penicillin?"

The last time Li Kuan wrote down the approximate formula of penicillin and asked Li Shizhen to make it to treat Nalan Haixue, it failed.

And on the road of creation, there will always be many failures.

Therefore, Li Shizhen did not give up, and Li Kuan gave strong support, and even allocated a large amount of funds and manpower to support Li Shizhen's research.

Li Shizhen cupped her hands and replied: "Although there are still some problems that have not been overcome, it is already on the agenda."

"In the near future, I will have penicillin and other miracle drugs!"

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Okay, then... Principal Guo, what happened to what you were told?"

What was commanded was related to agriculture.

Guo Shoujing stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, potato seeds have been distributed to our people in Dayan, and the land allocation work has been completed. They can be planted only when spring plowing arrives."

"There are a lot of potato seeds this time, several times more than last year. Last year was such a huge harvest. It is estimated that by next autumn's harvest, our Great Yan's treasury will be completely full, even if we close the door, we will not be able to close it. "

The more Guo Shoujing talks, the more he smiles.

He is so confident.

This also made Li Kuan feel relieved.

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Now that the foundation of food has been completed, Principal Guo, I have one more thing to leave to you."

"You are in charge of our entire Dayan's food supply, but the people cannot only have food. We Dayan must also have meat."

"Meat can not only improve the nutrition of our children in Dayan, but also make the soldiers nutritious and stronger in combat. Even the common people have not eaten much meat before. As long as Dayan has enough meat for them, then they... .It will give Dayan a higher sense of belonging.”

"It can be said that meat... involves many aspects and is extremely important."

"Based on this matter, I will give you a direction. Meat! Eggs! Milk! These three things are particularly important. In the coming days, I ask Principal Guo to spare no effort to implement and solve this matter."

After hearing this, Guo Shoujing stood up and stepped forward to receive the order.

Li Kuan patted his arm with his hand and stopped him from getting up.

"Don't get excited."

"Principal Guo, you are not allowed to do this directly. This is a very long process, but... it is definitely a big thing."

"It is the cornerstone and the basic plan for our entire Great Flame, and its cultivation can affect the foundation of our Great Flame for eternity!"
