Datang first village

This is the first time for Li Yuanxing to come to the flagship meeting room, because he doesn't have anything very important and worthy of a meeting. .

There are nine ports in Nanyang. For Datang, this is more exciting than digging nine huge gold mines.

In just half a month, Chang'an, Huating, Jingzhou, Guangzhou, Qiongya, Halong Bay, Tainan County, Luzon Island, Haiya City, Malacca.The radio stations in Palembang and the nine Nanyang ports have been set up, and the manpower at Huating has exceeded 20.

Several major shipyards have driven the development of many surrounding industries.

Sailboats are still the mainstream offshore vessels, small in size and fast in speed, and can carry one or two hundred tons of cargo for offshore trade.

It is no problem to go to Goguryeo or Wajima.

The mainstream merchant ships in Nanyang, armed merchant ships are still [-] to [-] tons, with two classes of double steam engines and four steam engines.

The fastest can reach a speed equivalent to seventeen knots in later generations.It is almost 120 miles every hour, from Huating to Luzon, it only takes two days and one night.

Industrialized shipbuilding, an [-]-ton wooden ship, can be completed in three months.

In a large shipyard, there are basically more than a dozen ships in dry dock, and dozens of ships start construction at the same time.A small fast inland sea ship with a capacity of [-] tons and a double steam engine can be built in a month.Sailing takes about two months.

"Your Highness, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon!" Cui Junsu was the first to come to the conference room.

Li Yuanxing didn't look back, but just said with emotion: "It's almost Chinese New Year again. It's so fast!"

Cui Junsu was talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Li Yuanxing was talking about the New Year. The two irrelevant words seem to have no connection at all.Cui Junsu understood that what Li Yuanxing meant was that another year was about to pass.

"Is Your Highness going back to Chang'an?" Cui Junsu asked again.

Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "After these nine ports have a prototype, let's go back."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanxing suddenly said again: "According to the time, Lanyue should be born." After asking, Li Yuanxing patted his head lightly: "Wrong, this should be asked Wei Changshi."

Cui Junsu nodded with a smile. Judging from Li Yuanxing's tone, the young King Qin seemed to be making some difficult decision, and his expression was a little dazed.

Someone came again, Cui Junsu sat in his seat, didn't say anything?

"Uncle Wu Huang, you have to personally approve an armed merchant ship of [-] tons. Right now, this ship is the only one in my heart." Li Chengqian entered the room, saluted, and said directly.

Li Yuanxing smiled, he knew what Li Chengqian meant.

You don't let me be the prince, which means that the emperor will have nothing to do with me in the future.I don't ask too much, but I have to give me one of the big ships anyway, and I'm going to expand the territory.

Li Ke came in behind and sat down without saying a word.

Li Ke understands better than Li Chengqian that some things cannot be won by fighting for themselves.You can't fight for the throne, and the same goes for big ships.The [-]-ton ship is only allocated to the military at the moment, and it is extremely difficult to produce. At present, all the [-]-ton ships in Datang add up to a dozen.

"Sit!" Li Yuanxing signaled Li Chengqian to sit down first.

Soon, the conference room was full of people, and Pei Xi and his guards stood guard at the door.

In this room, Wang Jue only sat a dozen or so, and of course Li Mo, who couldn't walk or speak, was one of them.The other two were not acclimatized these days, so they stayed in the room and let the medical officer take care of them.

All the curtains were drawn, and Li Yuanxing stood in the middle.Qiuxiang and Yuanchun came over and took the cloth from the five-foot-high object in the middle. It was a blue ball with many patterns on it. Fewer than ten people present could recognize what the ball was.

"This is Datang, and this is Chang'an. This is Qiongya, and this is Haiya. This is Palembang!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he took three steps back and leaned on the table, slowly picking up a cigarette.

Everyone stared at the ball without moving.

Qiuxiang said softly beside Cui Yingying: "Princess Ying, this is Australia, and Melbourne is here!"

Australia is larger than the land area of ​​Datang. How many miles are there fiefdoms?

Qiuxiang drew a line on the globe. Compared with the whole of Australia, the Melbourne area is like a sheep's ear on a sheep.

"Don't worry about your own fief." Li Yuanxing stood in front of the globe again, turned the globe gently with his hand, and slapped it on the globe: "This is Nanyang. It has a wealth no less than that of Tang Dynasty. Play a small game that isn't too complicated."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions!" Li Ke actually called His Highness instead of Fifth Emperor Uncle.

"I am Prince Qin's Mansion, the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty. Except for Yulin, Zhanfeizhou, and main battleships, everything can be rented out. As long as you can afford enough rent, the second-class main battleships of the navy are all under [-] tons. The boat can be leased to any one."

Li Yuanxing's words startled everyone.

"The Scarlet Blood Guard, that is the king of land warfare. The Thunder Cavalry and the thirteen cavalry are the king of the plains. The Flood Dragon Army, there is no combat force that can fight against them in the sea. With these, the whole world will be invincible. Everyone Kings and dukes will have a fief of reading power, and several earls will also have a joint fief, and of course they can also be sealed in the king's place. But, how much can these be sealed. Cui Shangshu, I ask you, can you divide it? How many?"

Cui Junsu stared at the globe, his eyes were breathing fire.

After hearing Li Yuanxing's question, he said word by word: "Besides the Great Tang, the world is so big. Even if viscounts and barons are also conferred, they are only one of the tenth in the world. territory!"

Li Yuanxing almost fainted.

Cui Junsu is a literati, and has never been on the battlefield.But what he said was more ruthless than Cheng Motou.

In Cui Junsu's eyes, everything that appears on the map belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and it depends on how the people of the Tang Dynasty divide it.

Li Yuanxing shook his head with a smile, and patted Europe: "Here, the Roman Empire was once as glorious as the Han Dynasty. Their territory is larger than our Han Dynasty. Now, the successor of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, also It is a powerful country."

"Your Highness, how did Rome die?" Cui Yingying asked curiously.

"This needs to be studied further. A reliable statement is that the Han Dynasty destroyed the Huns, and then the Huns fled and destroyed the Roman Empire by the way. They also beat up the Tianzhu people. Of course, this needs more Prove it with historical data!"

If Li Yuanxing said it, it must be true, and everyone sitting here believed it.

"The Romans are really weak!" Cui Yingying said casually.Many younger people laughed, but the elders had serious faces, especially Changsun Wuji, whose eyes were fixed on the island of Great Britain.

"King Qin, how about putting Chengqian's fief here?" Changsun Wuji immediately asked for it.

"There are still small countries there, and there are more troubles. You know, Christianity is the mainstream religion there, and the kings there are still subject to the church, and even launched so-called holy wars more than once to eliminate all heretics. Although they are still in chaos, this island should be in the era of the Seven Kingdoms."

Li Yuanxing briefly talked about the history of Great Britain.

Li Chengqian stood up abruptly: "His Royal Highness, Chengqian asked to seal this place. Chengqian has never heard of Daoism, but knows that those who don't believe in Daoist Taoism of the Tang Dynasty are pagans who are bound to be eliminated!"

Li Chengqian pronounced the word "heretic" very emphatically.

Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "Forget it, I'll give it to you. It's just that Uncle Wu suggested that you first infiltrate from trade, concessions, and ports. Don't rush to start a war. It will take a month or two from Chang'an City and the sea route." What about the time. There is no need to be in a hurry, and there is no need to be in a hurry, the lives of the people of Tang Dynasty are very precious!"

Li Chengqian nodded heavily.

Changsun Wuji bowed beside him, which represented the coming of Li Chengqian's true king age.

Your eldest grandson's family has schemes, does my Xiao family have no talents?

"Xiao Ping, beg for the title on behalf of the prince Li Ke!" The people behind Li Ke also stood up.Li Ke clenched his fist tightly, what he wanted was also his future.

"Choose it!" Li Yuanxing sat beside him calmly.

"here!"

Looking at the location Xiao Ping pointed at, Li Yuanxing was stunned.That's Egypt, and it's northeast of Egypt.

Judging from Li Yuanxing's reaction, Xiao Ping knew that he had discovered the treasure, so he saluted: "My Xiao family is willing to spend all its wealth to build a canal here. The distance here is no more than two hundred miles. According to the information provided, this country has a population of several million, employs 30 people, and can dig a 30-mile-long canal within three years. Moreover, Princess Mingyue seems to have a very detailed canal design drawing, so [-] Thousands of people, two years!"

Suez Canal!

Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao, your heart is too wild!

No!Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly. This is not Wu Zhao's ambition. Wu Zhao just released the news. It should be said that the Tang family is too wild. The status here is definitely not inferior to Gaochang, even higher than Singapore in later generations.

Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, and Li Changying also stood up: "Your Highness, the Panama Canal is 120 miles long in North and South America. It should belong to Li Jia! Our Li family is also capable of building a canal."

The fiefdom of the Caribbean region, of course, has this right and qualification.

"Someone knows that Li Suo's fief is located in Haikou, and the Xiao family and the Lu family are willing to work together to dig this canal. Split the bill!" Xiao Ping said again.

Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly: "Fifty to five cents, no way. After [-]% of the tax is handed over to the treasury, then five to five cents. How do you charge the passing boats? Don't be too harsh. Forget it, go play, there is one Remember, the Tang Navy needs to borrow it during the war, and this king will not pay you a penny!"

"Your Highness is joking, the official ships of the Tang Dynasty are naturally allowed to pass for free."

"No, only the navy is free during wartime. Now that the canal is built, you go and collect money. This is reasonable."

"Your Highness is wise!" Everyone said in unison. (To be continued.)
