The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Goguryeo

Li Xiang and Su Dingfang were standing here at the port. A large number of materials shipped back from Fuso were unloaded here and then transferred to the country. Some were directly shipped to the country by ship.

"We have only captured two states. If we capture the entire Fuso, it's hard to imagine how much stuff will be brought back. I can't believe that Fuso is so rich. Everything is gold and silver."

Seeing the soldiers struggling, Su Dingfang knew that the things inside were not light. After opening, they were also golden. She thought that these things were not available in places where birds did not poop, but she did not expect that they were shipped back several times. Could it be that our previous Are all the ideas wrong?

"I have told you a long time ago that there are many wealthy places overseas. Our Datang is one of the richest places in the world, but there are other places that are even richer than us here, so let us work hard to develop. Navy, only in this way can we capture all the rich places, and only we can be kings in this world from now on."

Li Xiang has said it many times before, but no one in the country believes it. Even if someone nods, it is because of his power and does not mean he truly believes it in his heart.

But now the situation is different. At first, what was brought back was food and other materials. Even if those things were valuable, they were not worth fighting a war. But now what is brought back are precious metals. , Datang’s treasury didn’t even have that much precious metals.

In the 21st century, Li Xiang once checked the information and found that Fuso was indeed a producer of precious metals in ancient times. The reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to succeed was because he controlled several mineral areas, otherwise there would be no May become the king of Fuso.

After people from other countries learned of this situation, they continued to use various commodities to buy precious metals in Fuso, and actually made a lot of money. By the time the Fuso people realized it, all the domestic precious metals had been bought.

No one knows yet that Li Xiang has a time lag, and Li Xiang is not planning to use trade to make money, but to directly commit robbery. This is the simplest and fastest way. Why have Western countries been rich for so many years? , some people say that Western countries are smarter. In fact, this is completely nonsense. It is purely because they accumulated huge wealth during the colonial wars that they are at the forefront of all mankind.

Although they have researched many scientific results, if there is no large amount of funds to support them, no matter how smart their brains are, they will not be able to research too many things in the end. Li Xiang still looks at this very carefully. , so in this case, Li Xiang is also prepared to make us a rich man.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will hit wherever you point us from now on. This time there will be absolutely no doubts. But we are just watching here. I also want to go to Fuso to have a look. It is easy for naval warships to be able to do so now." We went to sea, but..."

Su Dingfang said with some envy. It had been agreed earlier that as Li Xiang's bodyguard general, this guy could only follow Li Xiang. If he went to sea, it would violate Li Shimin's imperial edict. After all, Li Xiang was just a The logistics general had no chance of going to Fuso.

"Don't worry. We definitely can't leave here for the time being, but if we send more things to Chang'an City, then we may have a chance. Now that the memorial has been sent to Chang'an, it depends on whether it is approved by the higher authorities."

Su Dingfang originally wanted to complain, and she didn't expect to have the opportunity to go to Fusang, but did Li Xiang's words mean that he was already loose?

"Your Highness, have you used your brain again? My subordinates just complained casually. Don't let such things affect the current overall situation. This is rare for us."

It was Su Dingfang who complained, but it was also this guy who was unwilling to change the current situation. He knew that it was not easy to have the current situation. Li Xiang went to the Jinluan Palace to intercede with Cheng Yaojin. It can be said that he almost lost this The situation has been broken, so everyone will endure their desires and never think about breaking the existing situation.

"Don't worry, I'm not a kid who doesn't understand anything. There needs to be a balance between us and the court. This balance is hard to achieve. How can I break it just because I want to? There are so many things sent over. I will say that a lot of things were damaged, but the two generals are not very good at sorting out these previous things, and we are experienced, and I know my grandfather."

When Li Xiang said this, he looked around to see if there was anyone around. If there was anyone around, and Li Shimin heard this, Li Xiang would probably be scolded again when he returned to Chang'an. Su Dingfang also knew something about the emperor, as long as he If you can make money for the court, then some things can go all the way.

While Li Xiang and Su Dingfang were chatting, Chang'an City also received the first batch of supplies shipped back from Fusang. At this moment, Li Shimin was also standing happily in front of the Qinzheng Hall, looking at the ten boxes of precious metals, and was very happy. light.

You must know that in ancient China, there were not many precious metals, mainly because of the lack of similar mines in our country. Most of them were left over from previous mining, and their purity was not very high. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that foreign silver flowed in. This is considered the main currency.

"I really didn't expect that such a small Fusang would be richer than me, the Tang Dynasty. When he came to pay tribute to us in the past, all he brought were worthless things. It seems that he really has a disobedient heart. ."

Li Shimin was very angry when he saw these big boxes in front of him. If they were all weighed, they would be almost the same as those in the palace. This is a rich country in the East.

When Li Xiang was about to attack Fusang, Li Shimin still hesitated, but seeing these things in front of him, Li Shimin really regretted that he had not defeated Fusang earlier. Of course, attacking Fusang required naval warships, and Li Xiang used them all. It was developed with his own money. Even if Li Shimin wanted to attack Fusang at that time, he would have to spend a lot of money to develop the navy first.

"The imperial court borrowed a lot of money to develop naval warships. Let's use the gold and silver to repay the money first."

In front of the ministers, Li Shimin couldn't collect all the money, he had to do it just to show off.
