Datang first village

The next day, Wei Ting came to report. .

"Your Highness, General Yuchi sent a regiment, the enemy is too weak. Our army didn't hurt a single person, and the opponent didn't kill a single person. The enemy was defeated. We also captured the enemy's camp and captured them all!" Wei Ting reported, looking at him secretly. Follow Li Yuanxing's reaction.

According to common sense, such a report will also cause some questioning from those who listen to the report.

But Li Yuanxing didn't respond, he just said: "Got it!"

Don't care?

Wei Ting didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Your Highness, it would be nice to set sail tomorrow morning."

"Okay, tomorrow. Arrange it. I won't go to Haiya. Just ask a boat to send people there. When the port is built, it can't be done in a day or two. Let Tianying Pavilion do more. Heart. General Cheng is a man of fine details, and he will build a very good fortress."

Hearing Li Yuanxing's order, Wei Ting bowed his body: "Your Highness is absolutely right."

"Tell the merchants to take a long-term view. Let them plan carefully how much wealth a port can bring in this land of Baiyue. If there are too many goods, they will naturally become cheaper. If there are too few goods, they will also earn less. Regarding customs duties, The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of it. The Imperial Security Department has to make an idea on how to build the telegraph machine here. Don’t ask the Prince Qin’s Palace for advice on everything.”

Wei Ting nodded.

It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin is going to push out many things. It's not that King Qin's Mansion can't take care of it, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to take care of it anymore.

These days, Li Yuanxing has been reading and reading history books.

At the beginning of AD, Nanyang already had a country, a country in the true sense.Even if it is still chaotic, it is really a country.For Baiyue, Halong Bay is still a remote place, and it is a place where national borders are wrangled, and it is occupied if it is occupied.Haiya is the Singapore of the later generations. In the era of Tang Dynasty, it was a poor place at all.

It can also be occupied at will.

But other places are different, and there are areas controlled by the indigenous people.

"It turned out to be like this!" Li Yuanxing laughed when he read a very interesting piece of history.

Qiu Xiang, who was sorting out the materials beside her, raised her head and said nothing. When His Royal Highness Qin Wang was studying, he occasionally talked to himself, so it's better not to disturb.

When Li Yuanxing chose this place as a port, he had studied ancient and modern history.

As early as the end of World War II, Singapore belonged to the Federation of Malaysia, and Singapore and Malaysia jointly resisted the British conspiracy to continue to colonize Singapore.But in 1963, the Federation of Malaysia voted unanimously to drive Singapore out of the Federation of Malaysia.

Singapore has become a country of reading ability.

There is only one reason. At that time, Singapore advocated the equality of all ethnic groups.Whether Chinese, Malays, or Indians are equal.It was this proposition that got Singapore kicked out of the Federation of Malays.There are too many Chinese, and the Malays are afraid that this will change the ethnic structure of their country.

In the next few decades, Singapore became a country where 70.00% of the five Chinese were kept and English was the first language.

Malay, on the other hand, uses Malay as the first official language and maintains a country dominated by Malay native culture.

At this time, at this time in Datang.The same thing happened.In other words, it is the modern times of later generations that repeated what happened in the Tang Dynasty.

There is a country called Sanfoqi in the Malay Peninsula, which was established under the influence of Indian Buddhism.

The people of Sanfoqi drove the Chinese who were unwilling to be assimilated by them to the most remote places, among which Singapore in later generations, and the current sea cliff, is one of the most remote places.

Sea cliffs have no products, no food, and even fresh water is collected by digging ponds to collect rainwater.

The poorest and most miserable place.

Li Yuanxing put down the book in his hand, picked up a cigarette, and said to himself: "Should I go and see Lao Cheng? If there is too much movement, people will see that Datang attaches great importance to it, and it will be difficult to manipulate in the future."

"Forget it, it's hard for Lao Cheng." Li Yuanxing still decided not to go.

The next day, the big ship set sail, aiming at the future location of Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

"Wei Changshi, take advantage of this meeting and send a telegram to Feng An and tell him that there must be no mistakes in the supply of Lao Cheng's supplies, and the cement needed there must be supplied with all our strength. Be sure to tell him. , that place is a few years later, the key point for Datang to include the whole Nanyang into my Datang territory. If he doesn’t understand, let him go to Chang’an to ask the Emperor Xian in person. This matter is important and cannot be neglected!”

Wei Ting nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Dudu Feng knows the seriousness."

"En!" Li Yuanxing let out a long sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, a boat coming back from Nanyang was stopped last night. It was originally Gao Baiyang who went back to Guangzhou to pick up goods. By the way, he arranged to send the sealed accounts back to Prince Qin's mansion, and the servants directly withheld them."

"Have you seen it?" Li Yuanxing signaled Wei Ting to sit down and talk.

Wei Ting nodded: "I've seen it. The Sishui Port that His Highness needs may take a while. Your servant will first report all the expenses in the past six months."

Li Yuanxing was a little disappointed that Surabaya was not won.

Wei Ting began to read: "Da Dao leases 70 acres of fertile land for a hundred years and costs 500 pieces of brocade. A thousand acres of barren land leases for a hundred years and costs [-] pieces of brocade. For wasteland and rocky land, the lease for [-] years is [-] pieces of brocade. There are [-] mu of farmland, [-] million mu of barren beach, and [-] mu of wasteland. It is used to open up joints, and all kinds of goods consume [-] mu!"

Li Yuanxing touched his chin: "What brocade?"

"I asked, second-class rainbow brocade. When giving gifts, I used some first-class cloud brocade."

"It only took [-] guan to open up the joints. The officials of these small countries in Nanyang are really honest!" Li Yuanxing commented with a smile.

Wei Ting didn't know whether Li Yuanxing's words were a joke or an irony, and he had no excuse.

"Your Highness, on Sumen Island, the total rent is less than 100 million mu. However, it has obtained the trade right of a port, but there are also some minor troubles. The suzerain of the small country, Srivijaya, seems to be exerting pressure .The subordinates think that there is only one key to everything, and that is tariffs."

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Chang Shi thinks, how should we deal with it."

"Your Highness hasn't used force in Nanyang?" Wei Ting responded with a smile.

Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly: "It's not good for this fleet to go to battle in person..." Li Yuanxing couldn't say no, but he couldn't give a reason. He just felt like a cannonball was hitting mosquitoes.

Wei Ting had a different idea: "Your Highness, the first-class strong army is not there for people to see. The super battleship is not for the world to surprise. If Your Highness does not fight, the ministers can't say anything wrong. Just start again The king of the Tang Dynasty dispatched troops, whether it was Huating Port or Yuyang Port, which cost a lot of time. Feng An's mission is to control the Indochina Peninsula. If the Nanyang islands let him send troops, then his hand will be extended. It's too long, how does Your Highness think your subordinates have analyzed it?"

Wei Ting even dared to say Feng An's long hands in front of Feng An's face.

You know, one of Feng An's fiefs is Australia. If he is allowed to occupy some favorable places in Nanyang, Feng An himself will be afraid, and you must know that there are various families.

When Wei Ting said this, Li Yuanxing felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, you go discuss it. Those pillars of the Tang Dynasty who have resigned, since they are on the ship, also have an idea and put forward their ideas. Let me say that it was the king who said it. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, Those who are capable will naturally do their part for Datang. After discussing a result, this king will think about it."

"Yes!" Wei Ting achieved his goal.

Let’s go to Kuching first, it’s already booked, and it will never be changed.

To fight or not to fight, how to fight, to what extent, where to fight, these naturally need to be planned.

Play one game, or two games.You can only play two games at most, any more will lose the demeanor of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing signaled Wei Ting to keep the bill, and then asked Qiuxiang and other maids to mark the location on the map. Li Yuanxing wanted to see how much land Gao Baiyang had rented, and where he had rented it all.

And Wei Ting called all the people with status on the ship into the big conference room.

The most meeting rooms on the ship are not as big as the small meeting room in Qinwangzhuang, but it is still no problem to seat thirty or fifty people.

Those who came to the conference room, in addition to dignitaries, generals, and family representatives, were allowed to send three representatives from businessmen.

"At this meeting, Your Highness thinks that we are going abroad, and everyone is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Since we are citizens of the Tang Dynasty, we must contribute to the Tang Dynasty. First, I will talk about two things, and then I will talk about the content of the meeting."

Wei Ting spoke first, and the crowd didn't seem to be nervous, they just wanted to contribute money and effort to these things.

"Let's talk about the first one first. The staff department of Prince Qin's Mansion made a calculation. The annual trade volume of Nanyang is fifty times that of the Silk Road. At least, so Nanyang can't be ignored. However, His Highness sent someone to lease it. There were three or two ports, but they encountered considerable resistance. Gao Baiyang of Prince Qin's Mansion was the man in charge, and successfully leased one of the ports. Gao Baiyang said that trade must go through Sanfoqi merchants, and Tang merchants cannot directly do business with Nanyang."

The relaxed smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.

They all guessed wrong, and they don't care if they pay money, people, or something.But this seems to have risen to the military affairs.They all put away their contempt, and asked Wei Ting to explain it in detail again.

After Wei Ting finished speaking again, Yu Chigong jumped up at that moment: "Who did the Three Buddhas mess with?"

Cui Junsu smiled, and asked again in a civilized language: "What is the origin of this Three Buddha Qi, and what is its relationship with my Tang Dynasty? How is his control over these small countries, and how is his influence on these islands in Southeast Asia? What is his combat power? ? How is the national strength?"

What Cui Junsu asked was the key.

Wei Ting naturally had materials, so he asked a scribe to read them.Everyone could also understand that the country established by the Three Buddhas was originally called the Gandhara Kingdom, but the name was only changed in recent years.Originally, it was influenced by the Mauryan Dynasty in Tianzhu, so it is said to be a country of Indian Buddhism. As for the combat power, it is not worth mentioning.

"Talking about his Sanfoqi, someone thought that we can directly tie his king's capital and then sit down and talk!" Yu Chigong yelled. (To be continued.)
