Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. You threatened people when you came up, but you told us that you came to make money?What kind of unfolding is this...?

However, His Royal Highness King Qin said so, and they were very interested, because everyone knew that His Highness King Qin liked to make money!A Datang Everbright City sold more than 3000 million guan!Three treasuries!What is this concept? !Among them, there are people who bought the store in Datang Everbright City.

"Your Highness, don't you know that this business refers to doing business with the Western Regions?" Among the few people, some people turned their heads quickly, and immediately guessed the business that Li Ke was talking about. After all, Guangzhou is a treaty port, and almost all the businessmen here are because of This came, and it is reasonable for them to guess so.

"Yes and no, to be precise, I was going to do business with Lin Yi and Zhen Wa first." Li Ke said lightly.

"Do business with them? Zhenxue and Linyi are very poor. They don't have much money. We are so close to Zhenxa and Linyi. It seems that there is no business to do." Dang Renhong said while sitting at the table. Some are the most urgent, mainly because he is poor!Although it is said that he is now the governor of Guangzhou, he is indeed poor, has little money, and has just taken office.

His Highness said that if he could do business and make money, then he would have the opportunity to participate in it, so of course he was anxious.

Li Ke glanced at Dang Renhong. This person was found to be corrupt after a few years. It can be seen that he is indeed short of money. Now that he has just been transferred to the post of governor of Guangzhou, corruption must not have time, but he is definitely short of money. .

"Yes, Your Highness, Zhenxue and Linyi are very poor." The others also nodded in doubt.

"You all think so?" Li Ke asked with a helpless sigh.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, poor is poor, could there be other ways to say it?

"Let me tell you a story." Li Ke sighed, and then continued: "There was a businessman who was in the shoe business. One day he went to an island and found that the people on the island were not used to wearing shoes. , so this person sighed and said that there is no business here, and then he left here to find another place to sell shoes."

"Soon a second shoe merchant came here, and when the merchant saw that no one on the island wore shoes, the merchant said with a happy face, ah, there is such a large market here, It’s all business, and everyone can be a customer.”

"Do you understand?"

Li Ke looked at them and said, how...how could he not understand?What Li Ke said has been so straightforward, that is to say, they think Zhenwa and Lin Yiqiong, but His Highness thinks that there is big business here.

"Well, Your Highness, we don't quite understand." Everyone was still a little suspicious. Poverty is the essence. What does it have to do with whether there is business or not? If there is business and no money, how can we get it?

"Hey, there is wealth on their land. For example, in places like grain, Zhenwa, and Linyi, rice can be harvested twice or even thrice a year, right?" Li Ke said helplessly, " We in Tang Dynasty are short of food, so we don’t lose money when we buy food.”

"But Your Highness, although they can do two crops or even three crops a year in these places, the population in these places is small, and they have even fewer fields to plant, and they can't produce much food." They acted as The locals are very familiar with these natures.

"I'll discuss this matter. The locals don't have enough land, so let them open up wasteland. If they don't have enough land, let them breed. These are all good things." Li Ke smiled and shook He shook his head and said, "Anyway, I'm here so that you can make money."

"In addition to this matter, I have one more thing to tell you." Li Ke looked at everyone, and then said: "Tan Guogong, I have a few questions for you."

"Your Highness, please tell me." Qiu He, the governor of Jiaozhou, Tang Guogong, who is eighty years old this year, is also sitting here.

"How many soldiers would the Tang need if he wanted to take Zhenwa and Linyi?" Li Ke didn't hide his purpose, but asked directly.

At this time, there is no need to worry about some of these people colluding with foreign thieves. In their eyes, Zhenxue and Linyi are very poor and backward places, even the royal family is like this. They have trade with each other, but in fact they are It doesn't matter much.

Moreover, the Tang people are very proud of their identities, so Li Ke is not afraid of them leaking out, because Lingnan Road is their territory, and Li Ke's foreign strategy means that Lingnan Road's territory will expand, even if those places are not Lingnan Road in the future, yes They are also good here.

So this kind of thing will not be leaked.

Take down Zhenwa and Linyi?Everyone was stunned, His Highness just said to do business with these two, why is he going to take them down all of a sudden?

Qiu He pondered for a while, Jiaozhou Capital is the Hanoi of the later generations, Qiu He is the front line facing these two families, and naturally knows these things very well.

"The strength of these two families is average. If you want to take them down, [-] elite soldiers will be enough to ensure logistics. If His Highness can mobilize at least [-] or more warships, you can mobilize [-] to [-] elite soldiers from their army at any time." If the coastline is used for landing operations, then the progress will be faster."

"But one thing is to have elite soldiers, and now the soldiers in Lingnan Road need to be trained, and there are not enough weapons and equipment." Qiu He has fought for a lifetime, and his son also followed Li Shimin to participate in the Xuanwu Gate Change. In Chang'an, both sons are in Chang'an.

So Qiu He must be loyal to Datang, so there is no need to worry.

"I'll prepare [-] sets of armor for you that are no less than Mingguang armor." Li Ke said directly. After a year of development this year, Datang's new armor forging speed is getting faster and faster. The industrialization system is completely different from the previous manual system. A concept, and before Li Ke left, he had already assigned a task to the people in the Datang Industrial Zone, asking them to forge armor and weapons with all their strength.

Except for scientific research and foundry machine tools, all the steel smelted near Chang'an is used to forge armor and weapons, so it is not difficult to provide [-] sets of armor and weapons in one year.

"This can take these two countries at any time." Qiu He was overwhelmed by Li Ke's generosity. Can Datang produce so many armors now?

What is the concept of [-] sets of bright light armor?Just sweep!You must know that because of the hot weather in these two countries, many of their soldiers don't even have leather armor at all. They just wear linen clothes, bare feet, and hold a spear. This is a soldier.
