Capital Datang

When Li Ke arrived in Taiwan, the time had already entered the winter of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, and to Li Ke's surprise, Li Min did not stay in Taiwan, but took his whole family to Wazhou some time ago, and even his His wife and children, as well as Qinghe and Gao Yang also took their children, and I heard that they were going to go skiing.This left Li Ke in desperation, so he had to go north on a steamboat, and finally arrived at the northern part of Honshu Island in Wazhou after a few days.

Because Li Yin himself had considerable views on Wazhou Daily, he did not pay attention to it after he conquered here.Moreover, Wazhou itself is also poor in resources. Except for some gold and silver mines and sulfur mines, there are almost no other available minerals.As for agriculture, although it is rich in rice, the output is not very high due to the limited area of ​​cultivated land, but the fishery is very rich, but because Taiwan and Nanyang are also rich in fishery, so this place is not very conspicuous.

It is precisely because of subjective and objective reasons that after occupying Wazhou, Li Yin has always regarded it as a place to provide labor. The strongest Wazhou men were incorporated into the army and became the cannon fodder troops in Li Yin's army, the second-class men To become a laborer, the status is a little higher than that of a slave, to work in a plantation or a construction site, and the last one stays in Wazhou. In addition to farming and mining, he is also responsible for raising children and providing the next generation of laborers.

In contrast, Wazhou women have one more choice, that is, those women who are somewhat "attractive" can go to Xiangcheng next to Nugang. As for what they are doing, it is estimated that a man can guess.It is worth mentioning that Xiangcheng has not only become famous in Wazhou, but even Nanyang and the inland of the Tang Dynasty know that Xiangcheng is a gold-selling cave. After several years of development, it has developed from a simple prostitution to a The one-stop service of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling attracts a large number of tourists every day.

Especially in the past two years, Lu Wan discovered a second route to the Americas, and this route happened to be based on the east coast of Wazhou, which made the ports on the east coast of Wazhou suddenly lively.Among them, Nugang not only has a good location, but also has the most complete facilities, and with the help of Xiangcheng next to it, Nugang quickly became the largest port in Wazhou.Capital Datang 665

This also just confirms Li Yin's vision at the beginning. When he built the slave port, he attracted a lot of controversy, thinking that the input was not proportional to the output, but now it seems.The scale of the slave port is not large enough, and even local officials are already planning to expand the port.

When Li Ke rushed to Nugang, Li Min and the others also came back from skiing in the north of Wazhou. They even took time to go to Ezo Island to hunt bears with special shotguns.Needless to say, after having muskets, hunting became much easier. Even several women including Qinghe and Gao Yang managed to hunt two bears.

It's a pity that Qinghe and the others' marksmanship still needs to be improved, the two bear skins were shot with bullet holes everywhere, even the royal tailor in the palace couldn't do anything about them.In the end, I had to make a few pairs of bearskin gloves, and each of the women took a pair as souvenirs.But even so.It still makes them very excited. After all, hunting bears is more fulfilling than hunting those small animals.

After several years of development, Nugang has also become a prosperous port city. The Han people in the city account for nearly half, and the remaining half are mostly local Japanese. people.There are even people from Persia and Tianzhu, they mainly come here to do business, and some people want to go to America.Stop at Slave Harbor for the time being.

Li Yin chose a beautiful place on the outskirts of Nugang, and then built a courtyard, and planted cherry blossoms in the courtyard. Speaking of which, he transplanted the cherry blossoms from Sibi City, and now they have spread in Wazhou. Going out, it is estimated that in a few decades, the cherry blossoms in Wazhou will also become a scenic spot. This can be regarded as Li Min's contribution to the future tourism industry of Wazhou.

It's a pity that it's winter now, and Nugang is no better than Keelung. The winter here is quite cold, and even the leaves on the trees have fallen off, let alone the flowers.It just so happened that when Li Ke arrived in Nugang, he encountered a heavy snowfall. Although this snow caused some troubles to the traffic in the city, it was also a worthwhile event for Li Yin and others who have been living in Taiwan for the past few years. happy thing.

In a warm pavilion in the back garden of the other courtyard, Li Ke and Li Min sat facing each other. On the stone table in front of them was a small charcoal stove with a casserole on top of which was stewed dog meat. Now there is a "gurgling" sound, bursts of white steam are floating above the stove, and the whole warm pavilion is filled with the aroma of dog meat.

"In this kind of cold weather, it is most suitable to eat dog meat. Third brother, please try it. When stewing dog meat, I asked someone to add some turtle meat to the stew. The dog meat made in this way is the best. It is said that Liu Bang I like to eat this kind of dog meat the most." Li Yin introduced to Li Ke with a greedy expression while copying his chopsticks.

It was already late when Li Ke came to Nugang yesterday, and Li Ke and his wife, Yang, had also been separated for a long time. With Xiao Biesheng newly married, it was not easy for Li Yin as his younger brother to hold Li Ke to talk at night.However, after a night of heavy snowfall, the weather suddenly cleared up this morning, so Li Ke and Li Yin were dragged to the back garden by a group of children. Now the children are having a snowball fight on the dry grass outside the Nuan Pavilion, and the two of them are lazily hiding here to eat and drink .

Li Ke didn't come in time to eat breakfast in the morning, and last night he reunited with his wife after a long absence. Naturally, he was full of passion. Now he needs a tonic. Although dog meat is not on the table, it has the effect of strengthening yang and tonifying kidney, which is suitable for him to eat now , Speaking of it, this is also Li Yin's intention.

Li Ke picked up a piece of fresh and tender dog meat and chewed it in his mouth. It felt mellow and delicious, the meat was rotten but not greasy, and what was even more rare was that there was no trace of earthy smell, so he also praised: "Not bad, go During my trip to Rome, I also tasted a lot of delicacies, many of which are very rare, but compared with this pot of dog meat, the taste is still a bit worse!"

Li Yin also laughed proudly when he heard Li Ke's praise. Although dog meat is delicious, it is generally not used to entertain guests. However, Li Ke and Li Yin are brothers, and they are not outsiders at all. Today, it is a good time to eat dog meat, so Li Yin asked someone to make a pot to taste with Li Ke.

Li Yin and the two ate dog meat, and started chatting for a while, and soon Li Yin began to ask why Li Ke came back so soon?If he goes to America, it will take at least half a year before he can come back.

Li Ke showed a smile after hearing this, and then slowly told what happened after he arrived in Rome, especially pointing out that he wanted to gain a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula and expand outward based on this .

Li Yin was also very interested in Li Ke's beauty in Rome at the beginning, especially when the other party even seduced the Roman queen, which made Li Yin envious and jealous. If he had known that the Roman queen was so beautiful, he should have gone one step earlier than the third brother. If you go around Rome, you might be able to abduct the Roman queen back.

However, when Li Ke started to talk about the situation in the Mediterranean Sea, Li Yin had already guessed a little bit. After all, based on his understanding of Li Ke, if he got along with him in a different place, he might have the same idea.And when he heard that in the Strait of Gibraltar, the Visigothic general himself ran into him and died, which made Li Yin clap his hands and laughed, and at the same time, he was full of admiration for Li Ke's subsequent revenge.

"Third brother, your move is really wonderful. Shelling the port of the Visigoths will not only make you famous, but also deter the Visigoth army. In the future, third brother, you will land on the Iberian Peninsula with an army. The resistance is much smaller." After listening to Li Ke's experience, Li Yin finally spoke in admiration.

"Hehe, actually, I have collected some information about those Goths, especially in terms of military affairs. Apart from being brave in battle, these Goths are almost useless in other aspects. Even the generals don't even understand the most basic formation of troops. If the Western Romans hadn't been greedy for enjoyment and hired too many barbarian troops, they wouldn't have destroyed the country by such barbarians." Li Ke said with some disdain.

After hearing this, Li Yin also smiled and said: "The third brother really hit the nail on the head about the reason for the demise of the Western Roman Empire. No matter how the times change, the military power of a country must never fall into the hands of a foreign race. They are Han Chinese, and those foreign armies can only be used as a foil at best, and will never become the main force. I have already prepared to write this into the constitution, so that all future generations cannot violate it!" Capital Datang 665

When he said this, Li Yin paused for a moment and then said: "As for the fighting power of those barbarians, although I have not seen it with my own eyes, but according to your analysis, third brother, it must not be much stronger, but third brother, you are the best!" Don't be careless, strategically you can despise the enemy, but tactically, you must pay attention to the opponent, and the lion needs to use all his strength to fight the rabbit."

Li Ke nodded after hearing this, thought for a while and said, "I'm a little careless, I looked down on those barbarians before, and later I defeated the entire navy of the Visigothic Kingdom with four warships. It's a bit of underestimation of the enemy, but fortunately, brother six, you reminded me, otherwise I may really suffer a big loss in the future."

Li Yin also showed a little smile. Before, he found that Li Ke's words were both inside and outside, and he underestimated his opponent. This is not a good habit, so he reminded him. Li Shimin's people really can listen to other people's opinions.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yin thought of the difficulties Li Ke was facing now, and said immediately: "Third brother, I have no objection to your choice to develop your power in the Mediterranean Sea. The level of civilization there is relatively high, and it is easier to develop. In addition, although there are many forces there, they are all very weak, so it is not very difficult for you to gain a foothold there, but there are two prerequisites that need to be resolved!"
