Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 554 Li Er agrees to Xue Rengui's escort

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace!
After Li Er retired from the court, he returned to the imperial study to correct the memorial.

Since Li Er made a huge profit of 15 guan yesterday, he is in a good mood today.

If there were no accidents, this month, Li Er would wake up laughing while sleeping.

After all, [-]% of Cheng's fleet's shares were actually sold by Li Er for a sky-high price!
It's a pity that not many nobles in Chang'an City can afford 15 guan!

Otherwise, Li Er is willing to continue to sell [-]% of Cheng's fleet shares.

Li Er thinks that it is enough for him to have [-]% of the shares of the Cheng family fleet.

Because the Datang navy has now gone to the island of guano to dig out dung!
Li Er did not believe that the harvest of Cheng's fleet would be comparable to that of the Datang Navy.

At this moment, suddenly a Royal Forest Army stationed in Ganlu Hall hurried to the Royal Study Room.

Li Er immediately looked at the door of the imperial study!
Wang Gonggong also kept an eye on the Imperial Forest Army vigilantly!

If there is something wrong with the Royal Forest Army, the prince will stand in front of Li Er!
"Your Majesty, Zhongshu ordered Yuchihuan to ask for an audience!"

When the imperial guards stepped into the imperial study, they respectfully reported to Yuchi Huan that he wanted to see Li Er.

Li Ermei smiled and said: "Come here, it is said that Xiaowei is late to see me!"

"Here!"

The Royal Forest Army immediately took orders to leave.

Li Er didn't smile until Yu Linjun walked out of the imperial study: "Big Companion, why do you think Xiao Yuchi came to see me today?"

Wang Gonggong thought for a moment, and explained: "Your Majesty, if the servant's guess is correct, Xiao Yuchi must be looking for you today about the Cheng family's fleet!"

"What my big companion said is true, I think so too!"

Li Er agreed with Wang Gonggong's answer very much.

When Eunuch Wang received the award from Li Er, he immediately smiled, happier than pie falling from the sky!

As Li Er's slave, Li Er's reward is the best reward for the prince.

Before half a stick of incense arrived, Yu Chihuan followed the Imperial Army to the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, Zhongshu ordered Yuchi Huan to bring it here!"

The Yulin Army immediately reported to Li Er.

Li Er waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get back!"

"Humble post obeys the order!"

The Imperial Forest Army immediately turned around and walked out of the Imperial Study Room.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

Yu Chihuan didn't go forward to salute Li Erxing until the imperial army left.

Li Er stared at Yuchi Huan and laughed heartily: "Little Yuchi, why are you looking for me today?"

Li Er asked the question knowingly.

But this is a question-and-answer procedure for monarchs and ministers!
No rules no standards!
Even Li Er can't break the rules.

"Your Majesty, I am here to see you today because of the Cheng family's fleet going to sea!"

Yu Chihuan answered Li Er without hesitation.

As for whether Li Er is willing to discuss this matter with Yuchihuan, Yuchihuan doesn't care.

Because the second shareholder of Cheng's fleet is Li Er.

Yuchihuan believed that Li Er would be more anxious than himself by then.

As for the two small shareholders, Chai Shao and Cheng Yaojin, they have no say!
When Li Er learned that Yu Chihuan was really looking for him for the Cheng family's fleet, he immediately showed such an expression!

Eunuch Wang is also a good showman, he showed a convincing expression to Li Er!

Li Er said triumphantly: "Little Yuchi, do you have any new charts for the Cheng family's fleet going out to sea?"

Yu Chihuan nodded and said yes: "Your Majesty, the route of Guano Island has been used by the Datang Navy, and I am going to open up a new route!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Xiao Yuchi, can you show me the navigation chart?"

Yu Chihuan pointed to the globe next to the imperial study, and said: "Your Majesty, I am going to send the Cheng family fleet to scrape off all the islands in the west of the Pacific Ocean. The final destination of the route is this island called Oceania!"

After all, Yu Chihuan turned the globe that Li Er placed in the imperial study, and pointed out the address of Oceania!
Li Er stood up and stared intently at the nautical chart Yu Chihuan said!

Li Er's eyes finally stayed on the map of Oceania.

"Little Yuchi, didn't you say last time that this island is full of deserts and jungles, so there is no development value?"

Li Er looked at Yu Chihuan curiously.

Yuchihuan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of open-pit iron ore mined on the west side of the island of Oceania. The content of these iron ores is more than twice as high as that of Hedong Road!"

In later generations, Oceania was famous for its iron ore!

More than one billion tons of iron ore are exported every year.

Yu Chihuan felt that Oceania should also be developed.

The most important thing is that there are still some gold mines in the east of Oceania that can be developed.

Yuchihuan is determined to win the gold and iron ore in Oceania!

Li Er was dumbfounded and said: "Xiao Yuchi, so we can carry iron ore from Oceania back to Chang'an City for smelting?"

Yu Chihuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to first smelt the iron ore into iron ingots in Oceania, and then ship them back to Datang!"

"Xiao Yuchi, the Tang Dynasty implements a salt and iron monopoly, and the Cheng family's fleet may not be qualified to sell iron ingots!"

Li Er thought for a while, and seriously reminded Yuchihuan.

Yu Chihuan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, we will sell all the iron ingots smelted from iron ore to the Ministry of Works as a supervisor, and will not sell them in Datang!"

"Little Yuchi, you have a good idea, I will play it!"

Li Er finally agreed to Yu Chihuan's advice.

In fact, Oceania does not belong to Datang territory!

So Yuchihuan and the others won't be guilty of building an iron-making workshop in Oceania!

However, the second shareholder of the Chengjia fleet is Li Er, so Li Er will definitely send his confidants to supervise the iron-making workshop!

Yu Chihuan didn't bother to worry about this matter anymore.

"Your Majesty, going to sea with the Cheng family's fleet is no small matter. I feel that the imperial court should send a general who is familiar with water warfare to escort it!"

Yuchihuan then stated the purpose of his face-to-face.

Li Er nodded in approval and said: "Xiao Yuchi, you have stayed in Hedong Road for three years, do you have any good generals to recommend to me?"

Yuchi raised his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Xue Rengui is good enough to take on this important task!"

"Is Xue Rengui?"

Li Er recalled for a moment and suddenly realized: "Little Yuchi, if I remember correctly, Xue Rengui only came to Lantian County this year to serve as the captain of Zhechong!"

"What Your Majesty said is true, Xue Rengui did serve as Captain Zhechong of Lantian County only this year!"

Yu Chihuan immediately raised his hand to answer Li Er.

Li Er smiled and said: "Little Yuchi, since you recommend Xue Rengui, then I will order Xue Rengui to protect the Cheng family fleet when it goes to sea!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

Yu Chihuan was overjoyed, he didn't expect Li Er to agree to his suggestion so readily!

"Little Yuchi, since Oceania has iron ore, I am going to send a navy to Oceania to protect it!"

By doing this, Li Er can be regarded as monitoring whether the Cheng family's fleet has bent the law for personal gain!

After all, in ancient times, ironware was a controlled item!

Although Li Er trusted Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chihuan, he still couldn't take it lightly.

Li Er will never change the things that should be supervised depending on the person!

Yuchi Huan raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are also tens of thousands of indigenous tribes in Oceania. You send the Datang navy to escort the escort, and I agree very much!"

Seeing that Yuchihuan did not object to sending the Datang Navy to Oceania, Li Er trusted Yuchihuan even more.
