Datang first village

Lu Qiuyu gently pulled Cui Yanyan's hand: "Your Highness explained today, starting from Li Xing's four-year-old, sending the children to live on the island for two months every June, everything."

"Do you know the reason?" Cui Yanyan asked softly.

"I guess, one is because Li Xing is the youngest, and the real reason may be that His Highness wants to teach in person." Lu Qiuyu's voice was very low, and finally said: "Qinghe Cui's canned fish in Huating accounted for [-]% The share, my Lu family wants [-]%."

"I want [-]%." Cui Yanyan said directly.

"Then it's a deal." Lu Qiuyu took Cui Yanyan's hand, and the two seemed very close to each other, chatting privately. No one could have imagined that just these few words of conversation would separate the two families from Qinghe Cui. Home business war curtain.The Lu family and the Cui family of Boling had a close relationship in the first place. When they have common interests, the two women will also cooperate closely.

After entering Zhuangzi, it is still the same as before, without any difference.

However, forty miles south of Chang'an City, they suddenly came to this small island in the South China Sea.

Is this a miracle?

There are all kinds of legends in Chang'an City, but no one knows what the real truth is?Even King Qin and Seven Consorts don't know.

But the concubines of Qin believed that Li Lanshan and Wu Zhao must know.

After entering Zhuangzi, Li Yuanxing was sitting under the gazebo, while Qiuxiang and Yuanchun waited on them and were reading various news from Chang'an City.

After bowing, Cui Yanyan sat next to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, before I come back. They sent troops, and I've been on the road for more than a month and almost two months, and it will take up at least three thousand miles. "

"Land is easy to occupy, but people's hearts are hard to occupy." Li Yuanxing replied calmly.

Cui Yanyan poured a cup of tea for Li Yuanxing, and held it in front of Li Yuanxing with both hands. Li Yuanxing took the tea and asked, "Did Moer go back to the house to rest?"

"Without His Royal Highness summoning him, he naturally couldn't just come here."

Cui Yanyan is not talking nonsense, this is the rule set by the Ministry of Rites.As the king of Qin, Li Yuanxing was the first king of the Tang Dynasty, and the rules in the mansion were almost the same as those in the imperial palace.There is nothing wrong with it, there is no pass, even if it is a son, he can't come here casually.Of course, this is just a rule, children run around casually, and it's just like that when they come over.

It's just that Cui Yanyan herself is a woman who received strict noble education since she was a child, and she does everything according to the rules.

Li Yuanxing put down his teacup: "The canal at Changying has used 20 local slaves, 20 Nanyang slaves, 80 Baiyue slaves, Japanese, Goguryeo, and Baekje, and there are almost [-] million people in total. Yes, it is expected that in the spring of next year, [-]-ton boats will be able to enter the canal."

"That's a good thing. There is no need to go around the long way to the east and west of America."

Cui Yanyan replied softly.

"Before the ship that sent you off is gone, send someone to support it. It seems that each family has to make a charter for expanding their fiefdoms, and Brother Huang seems to have the same intention. But how to expand and how to manage it is always necessary. There is a rule. There must be a meeting in the Tianying Pavilion, but the emperor's place is the fixed name."

Cui Yanyan is no longer the little girl she was five years ago.

She was surprised by such a big event, but she didn't jump up, after all, she was a girl in her early 20s.

After explaining a few words to her maid, Ling Ye quickly ran to the outside of the village.

Watching Ling Ye run out, Li Yuanxing signaled Yuan Chun and Qiu Xiang to also retreat.

In the gazebo, when Li Yuanxing and Cui Yanyan were the only ones, Li Yuanxing said: "Yanyan, you are too anxious. I know you want the fief to develop better, but have you ever thought about it? How many people don't How about Feng? Don’t talk about the far ones, but the ones near them. How do you think the families on the other side of the sea will react. You are allies!”

What Li Yuanxing was talking about was the territories of Spain and Portugal.

Cui Yanyan bit her lip and said nothing, but she already understood Li Yuanxing's meaning in her heart.

"Besides, your development is too fast. When the Byzantine Empire was alerted, Datang hadn't developed in that piece of other people's fiefdom. Once the water and fire are incompatible, your Cui family will be the biggest in the storm. the tree!"

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!

Cui Yanyan was also well educated, how could she not know this truth.

"Your Highness, Byzantium is nothing to be afraid of!" Cui Yanyan said in her heart, she had warships and a strong army in her hands, so how could she be afraid.

Li Yuanxing has a different idea: "Yanyan, remember what I said, even a small mouse will cause harm to you. The small mouse will bite your clothes and steal the food in your granary. Think about it, if you I’m about to go out, I’ve already changed my clothes, and I suddenly find that there’s a hole in my clothes that was bitten by a mouse, what will happen?”

"Then what should I do?" Cui Yanyan didn't intend to go around in circles.

"Go and talk to Li Changying, let him do everything possible to speed up the canal, and then pull him and the Lu family to establish trade relations with the merchants of the Byzantine Empire. We must let the nobles behind the Byzantine merchants earn money. The benefits are great, Several other companies will also accelerate the development of the fief."

Cui Yanyan understood, it was to bring together a group of people to share the pressure.

At least the money earned by the Byzantine Empire, such as gold, is still gold no matter what.

When the Byzantine Empire was defeated, the gold still belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

At the end, Li Yuanxing added another sentence: "When trade profits reach a new height, the Panama Canal becomes a key point, such as river crossing fees, port discharge, etc. Or many people will think that it is controlled by the Li family in Longxi. When the time comes, whether you and Changying are arguing, fighting, or something else, I believe your natal family will have an idea."

Cui Yanyan was stunned.

It was once said in Chang'an that the Tang Dynasty will come again in Spring and Autumn.

No one dared to spread this word at the time, and Cui Yanyan also heard it by chance.

Isn't that the case now?She and Li Changying cooperated because of interests, and then opposed because of interests.They may even join forces with many forces to demand that the Li family in Longxi come up with a fair and fair plan for the use of the canal. Payment is fine, but the rules must be recognized by everyone.

"Yanyan, next June, Mo'er will be sent to the island. I won't see him today." Li Yuanxing's tone was so flat that no emotion could be heard.

Cui Yanyan wanted to say something else, but Qiuxiang had already returned, so Cui Yanyan suppressed the words in her heart.

"Your Highness, the battle report just compiled, the battle report on Britannia and the surrounding islands."

"Tell me!" Li Yuanxing became interested.

Cui Yanyan was also interested in listening, because Britannia was considered her neighbor, and when dealing with the Byzantine Empire in the future, Li Chengqian would definitely be one of the main forces.

"The first battle was not fought by King Chengqianying, but by Princess Liyuan."

"Continue!" Li Yuanxing lightly exerted force on his back and sat up straight.

"Princess Liyuan's family borrowed two groups of soldiers, one was the Khitan prince and the other was the little Tuli Khan. Then they were divided into two groups, one by sea and the other by land. They conquered several tribes in Western Turks. Falling behind, go further west. Although they don’t know the specific process, they have subdued a very strong nation. Their cavalry force is better than the elite of Tuli Khan!”

A word popped up in Li Yuanxing's mind.

"Cossack cavalry!"

"Yes, they call themselves the Cossacks. Later, most of the whole family followed the Li family to the northwest, and arrived at a place that His Royal Highness named Riga Port. Because Riga and Li's name have the same pronunciation, a port was built there, separated by the sea. Then you can see Li Fen's fief." Qiu Xiang read the battle report.

Li Yuanxing nodded, counting the time, one year was really hard work.

The cost must be huge.

But to subdue the Cossack cavalry, this deal is worth it.

Qiu Xiang continued to read: "The Li family's fleet is scheduled to dock in Morocco. After replenishing supplies, it is natural to go to the fief to have a look. After gathering the large cavalry force, they even transported [-] cavalry to the Buliste On Dingdao, [-] cavalry, [-] from each of the three tribes, and with the cooperation of infantry, took three cities in one day. After that, Bristol on the west of the island went to war."

Not surprisingly, Li Yuanxing had already thought about the deal between the Li family and the Cossacks.

It is nothing more than a full set of equipment on horseback, plus things like food wealth.

In this era, the Cossack cavalry were still nomads, and there were not too many of them.The Li family has been doing business in the Western Regions for many years, so they naturally have some knowledge.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing."

"speak!"

"Now there are more than a dozen lords who have offered high prices to hire cavalry from Princess Liyuan. Princess Liyuan now has [-] horses. How did she get it? The Imperial Security Department did not deliberately investigate. According to General Qin It means that this is a private matter of each family, as long as the emperor [***] horse farm is not used, even if there are millions of horses, it will not matter."

Li Yuanxing nodded, which is what he thought.

"Your Highness, the number of stallions in America has already exceeded [-]. It is estimated that within five years, the number of war horses in America will reach more than [-]."

When Qiuxiang reported, her little face was also full of excitement, after all, Datang had won.

The piece of news that surprised Li Yuanxing the most today was that the Western Turks were pacified and the whole family was attached to the Tang Dynasty.The Tang Dynasty sent a guarding governor, a small half of the Western Turkic nobles moved to the Central Plains, and a small half entered Lanzhou City, and less than [-]% remained in the original land of the Western Turkic.

The battle started, Li Yuanxing still didn't show much expression, neither excited nor nervous.

Power, conquest, etc. . . .It was not what Li Yuanxing was after.

A wild dog with food in its mouth meets a fierce tiger. The wild dog is always worried that the food in its mouth will be snatched away.It's a pity that the tiger didn't care about that kind of food at all.

Li Yuanxing doesn't want to comment on what the family's vision is?

If you put it in your former self, you won't be better than the aristocratic family. It's just that people will improve.

Li Yuanxing continued to listen to information from Chang'an, Southeast Asia, America, and Europe, just to understand, and only to understand. (To be continued.)
