Datang: You Can't Imagine the Happiness of the Prince

White noodles, steamed buns, big fat meat, and some wine, the emperor can get this treatment. Tonight, he can eat meat and drink wine. Then he is almost the same as the emperor. If he doesn't work hard tomorrow, maybe he will Can I have another meal:.

For such simple people, Wan Kuan has a trace of awe in his heart, after all, his current food and clothing expenses are brought by these people.

And really waited until two days later, when the two sea ships were about to set sail, Wan Kuan stood at the port and told Yan Liben thousands of instructions.

Chapter 348

On the dock in Dengzhou, Wan Kuan took the trouble to explain.

What to do when encountering a whale, what to do when encountering a hurricane, go around the volcanic island, if the wind is too strong, you must pay attention, you must be accurate, and you must be careful if you can't see the stars at night.

Then Yan Liben was a little disturbed by what Gu Hongzi said, and the governor of most of them nags like ordinary people.

However, Yan Liben could see that the Governor had high hopes for this voyage. After all, all the plans of the Governor could be implemented if the food could be brought back.

That Yan Liben patted his chest and assured that there would be no problem, and looking at the majestic crew on the deck, Wan Kuan had no choice but to nod.

At three quarters of the hour, the anchor was pulled out and sailed, and the strong men in the cabin shook the oars and drove the sea-going ship away from the port.

And Wan Kuan looked at the Jiaolong and the Wavebreaker, which were drifting away, and his eyes were full of hope.

Moreover, it is Li Shimin of Chang'an now, and his eyes are full of excitement, because he has already received a letter from Wan Kuan.

Especially the poem, Li Shimin really looked at it and hung it directly on the pillar of the Liangyi Hall.

"Your Majesty, why do you hang up Kuan'er's poems?"

"Guanyin maid, this poem is really domineering. I want to hang it up and remind myself every day that this Tang Dynasty is like a ship in the sea. When encountering strong winds and waves, you don't have to be afraid. Row."

"This Kuan'er really won my heart the most. Kuan'er can guess everything in my heart."

Seeing Li Shimin who was so excited, Empress Changsun couldn't help shaking her head. Sometimes Li Shimin was a little childish.

"Your Majesty, what is written in this wide letter? Is it just these two lines of poetry?"

"Guanyin maid, just these two poems are enough to comfort me.

This Kuan'er has this ambition, and I will hand over the Tang Dynasty to him in the future, and Kuan'er will definitely not let me down."

At this time, Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are other good things in Kuan'er's letter.

Otherwise, these two verses alone are not enough to make Your Majesty so happy."

When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed: "Guanyin maid, the most important thing in the world that I have to say is...you, of course, one or two lines of poetry can't make me laugh, and Kuan'er also told me in the letter. Good news for me."

"Oh, what is the good news, can your majesty say something to my concubine?"

"The good news is... Hebei will be able to produce hundreds of thousands more dan of rice in ten days."

"This..."

Zhangsun Huang was shocked: "How can there be so much grain, knowing that the annual taxable rice in Jiangnan Road is only a few hundred thousand dan.

Although there are quite a few in Hebei, there are many mountains and ravines, and Hebei does not produce rice, only wheat, so how can you get hundreds of thousands of load of rice in this wide area?”

"Haha, Guanyin maid, that's it for you."

"My concubine really doesn't know, please ask Your Majesty to clarify."

"Kuan'er said in the letter that the ship will go to sea immediately, and when he returns, he will be able to bring back hundreds of thousands of tons of rice."

At this time, Empress Zhangsun looked suspicious: "Your Majesty, even if he goes to Jiangnan Road and Fujian-Zhejiang Road, and recovers all the local rice, there may not be so much."

"Guanyin maid, do you also think Kuan'er is lying?"

Empress Zhangsun pondered for a while after hearing this: "Your Majesty, Kuan'er is not the one who doesn't know the importance.

There are some things that can be said, and some things that cannot be said.

But where did these hundreds of thousands of dan of rice come from, the concubine really can't think of it."

At this time, Li Shimin sat firmly on the bed and sighed: "Actually, I don't know either. This Kuan'er only said that he was going to Linyi Country in Nanyang this time to bring all the food from Linyi Country."

"Where is Linyi Kingdom Linyi Kingdom?"

"Linyi Kingdom is in Lingnan and further south,"

"Isn't there a vast ocean going south of Lingnan?"

"No or no! To the south of Lingnan is the sea, but there is still a fertile land, that is, the land of South Vietnam."

"Oh, my concubine understands, this land of South Vietnam was already occupied by Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

It's just that the Soochow State was not prosperous, and later the Central Plains experienced several wars.

The land of South Vietnam escaped everyone's sight."

Empress Zhangsun is also considered to be knowledgeable: "But the concubine heard that the land of Nanyue is full of barbarians. They drink blood. How can there be hundreds of thousands of tons of rice there?"

Li Shimin sighed at this time: "Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but I checked the news about the land of Nanyue.

After investigation, I discovered that the land of South Vietnam is also a treasure land."

"Your Majesty, what do you say?"

"The land of South Vietnam is indeed full of wild men who drink blood like hair, but the land is indeed extremely fertile.

Sow the seeds and put them in the ground, without watering or tilling, and the rice seeds grow naturally.”

"And the rice there ripens three times a year, and the barbarians never worry about food.

They don't need to plough every day, they just need to scatter the seeds into the ground when it's time, and after two or three months, go to the field and collect the rice."

Empress Zhangsun was stunned by Li Shimin's words.

"Your Majesty, there is still such a thing in this world"

Li Shimin nodded, and Empress Changsun's feet were also a little weak, and she sat on the bed with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I, the people of the Central Plains, work hard every day and pray for good weather every year.

That's it, even with the drought, flood, and locust plagues, I can't get enough to eat.

Why are those savages in the land of South Vietnam so lucky, this heaven is so unfair."

"Guanyin maid, but if Kuan'er hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't know.

Right now, even Lingnan is a place where no one dares to go, and no one knows about Nanyue further south."

Li Shimin sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Directorate of the Palace kept the geographical documents from all over the world, or I didn't know, this Kuan'er is indeed a genius of the sky, and he knew about such secret things, which really made me a little out of the blue. Unexpected."

At this time, the Empress Changsun became excited: "Your Majesty, since the land of South Vietnam is so fertile.

Your Majesty might as well send troops to occupy this place."

Li Shimin smiled after hearing this: "Guanyin maid, after I received a letter from Kuan'er and found out about the situation in Nanyue, this was my first thought.

But later I found out that this method is not feasible.”

"Why, Your Majesty, can this kind of treasure land only belong to that group of... savages? I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have worked hard to cultivate but have no food to eat.

That group of... savages are savage every day, and they still don't starve to death, this world is too unfair."

Chapter 349

In the Hall of Nectar, Empress Changsun was full of anger, and Li Shimin also sighed deeply.

"Guanyin maid, this world is inherently unfair.

People in Saibei have to endure the wind, frost, bitter rain, and people in Lingnan have to endure the smog.

Although the land in South Vietnam is fertile, it is also very humid.”

"In the mountains and forests, the eyes are full of poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, and the poisonous gas is full. When the people of the Tang Dynasty arrive there, I am afraid that there will be no one out of ten!"

When Empress Changsun heard it, she also reacted.

Li Shimin is right, it has been like this since ancient times.

From ancient times to the present, in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, Lingnan is the land of hell.

There is a smoky atmosphere, and snakes and worms are rampant.

When you get there, you are not far from death.

Not to mention that the land of Nanyue is still there: leading to the south of the South, I am afraid that the people of the Tang Dynasty have gone, and they will have died of illness before they can cultivate.

At this time, Li Shimin went on to say: "Guanyin maid, in addition to…

The Feng family is entrenched in Lingnan, if the Tang army wants to march into South Vietnam, it is bound to pass through Lingnan."

"Although the Tang Dynasty was founded more than ten years ago, Feng Ang of Lingnan has always been false and condescending.

When the previous dynasty perished and the eighteen rebels gathered, Feng Ang also wanted to go north to the Central Plains to get a piece of the pie."

"It's just that the King Hejian and Li Jing thwarted the limelight and returned to Lingnan.

Although Feng Ang is nothing to worry about, the Lingnan area where he is entrenched is a hard bone."

After hearing this, Empress Changsun nodded silently, it was indeed a big problem in the Lingnan land.

If you send a large army to conquer, the road is long, the terrain is difficult and dangerous, and the weather is not satisfied, I am afraid that the Tang army will suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty unified the north, they went to the Fengjia Zhao in Lingnan.

The current head of the Feng family in Lingnan, Feng Ang, actually.... also obeyed Li Yuan's order and accepted Li Yuan's reward.

Feng Ang considered himself a minister, but according to the agreement, in the ninth year of martial arts, Feng Ang would go to Chang'an for an audience.

But whoever thought of it, there was something about Xuanwumen.

So two or three years later, Feng Ang has not yet arrived in Chang'an.

The relationship between Datang and Lingnan is still quite ambiguous. At this time, Datang wants to borrow Lingnan to attack Nanyue, I am afraid that it is not enough.

At this time, Empress Zhangsun sighed heavily: "Your Majesty, there is such a fertile land in this world, otherwise it can't be used by my Tang Dynasty. It is a pity in my heart."

"Guanyin maid, it doesn't have to be like this.

Not to mention you, even I feel very sorry.
