There are maps in this era, but there is no specific concept of the vastness of the world, and the map naturally cannot be as detailed as Shu'an.

Not to mention that Shu'an's map not only includes the Datang region, but also many areas outside the Datang area, and these are even more missing.

Although there are Hu people who come and go to do business, many people still feel that they are barren outside of the Tang Dynasty.

The only thing that has become popular recently is the pepper brought by the Hu people, after all, the taste has given many people a novel experience.

Even Shu'an's heaven and earth are inseparable from pepper, but the cognition is not able to change for a while.

"It's a map, a map that someone has spent decades making."

"Not long ago, someone asked me how wide the world is, and I replied that the world is the Tang Dynasty, and he gave me this map."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he said, he didn't say Shu An's name, obviously he was unwilling to improve Shu An's prestige.

However, even if Li Shimin didn't speak, many of the ministers present still guessed his identity.

After all, Li Shimin's hint is already very obvious, after decades of drawing, this map has been drawn, and there is exactly a person in Chang'an who has been traveling in the Tang Dynasty for decades.

As Li Shimin's words sounded, the first thought of the party belonging to Wenchen was to think about His Majesty's intentions.

On the contrary, these princes who were born as military generals are obsessed with this map.

"Your Majesty, is this the map of the whole world?"

"Is there so much place outside of my Datang?"

......

These generals talked a lot, and there was a lot of interest in this map.

After all, generals are very sensitive to maps and the like, and of course they have some ideas in addition to that.

After thinking about it, Wen Chen's eyes also appeared on this map, and his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but have a hint of understanding.

Finally, his eyes returned to Li Shimin, waiting for the next words of this majesty.

"The world is so wide, if it is ordinary, even if I spend my whole life, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach half a point."

Li Shimin said quietly, and there seemed to be a lot of unwillingness in his words.

After the words fell, Li Shimin moved the map aside, and a sentence was also revealed on the table.

"Everywhere you go, it's Tang soil!"

This sentence also told Li Shimin's heart at this time, and the same sentence was seen by many ministers of civil and military affairs present.

For a while, these Wenchen couldn't help but feel a sigh in their hearts, especially the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and there was some bitterness on their faces.

It seems that His Majesty has not yet made a decision, but the facts have already explained his choice.

There was no room for them to choose at all, and for a while, even the eldest grandson Wuji had some big heads.

Because according to the map, how much military supplies will Datang have to increase in a year, and how many young people will be recruited.

These are not things that can be changed out of thin air, but need to be advanced by the state treasury.

The things that the eldest grandson could think of, Du Ruhui and the others on the side could also think of, and there was some bitterness on the same complexion.

Compared with the bitterness of Wenchen's side, the prince of the country, who was born as a military general, showed a happy look on his face.

"Your Majesty said that Lao Cheng will be the first to go up, absolutely nothing."

"What, isn't my Wei Chigong inferior to a person, and if you want to go on the expedition, you will also choose me."

"The two princes, don't fight each other, otherwise you will give me this opportunity and wait."

......

The voices of the generals sounded loudly, and the words were obviously in support of His Majesty's decision, because these princes were no strangers to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

"This matter needs to be considered a lot."

"The strength of the alien races around my Datang is very strong, and it cannot be forced."

......

And after these generals spoke out, these civil servants naturally couldn't sit still and dissuaded one after another.

The discussion in the imperial study room was definitely unstoppable in a short period of time, but Chang'an did not have any turmoil because of the absence of this majesty.

For many people, it is quite normal for His Majesty not to attend the court meeting occasionally, but Yang Guang was often absent from the court meeting at the beginning.

Therefore, Li Shimin was only for one day, and not many people paid attention to it, and naturally no one knew that there was a discussion about the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty in the imperial study at this time.

However, although many people in Chang'an do not pay attention, it does not mean that Shu An does not pay attention.

In the Shu Mansion, Shu An sat with Li Xiuning again, but the words they were discussing were yesterday's topics.

"Teacher, you must have some ideas that you haven't spoken."

Li Xiuning said quietly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words, after all, she is not an outsider.

"There are some ideas that don't make sense to say it so early."

Shu An's face did not refute but chuckled lightly, it was not that he had something to hide from this disciple.

It's that this matter can't be said clearly in a few words.

How could it be possible if he didn't have a follow-up idea about this matter, but this one idea was only valid for Li Shimin.

"Teacher!"

Li Xiuning's face seemed to be a little angry, but if someone was here, he would find out.

This princess of Pingyang is not as cold as usual, but has some little daughter posture.

It's a pity that Shu An didn't know about the changes in Pingyang, after all, he didn't have much when he taught Pingyang at that time.

Although I met once when I traveled, it was actually limited to one side, where can I know how Li Xiuning changed when I grew up.

It has been several years since I have seen this disciple, and I don't know his personality.

"Pingyang has decided to stay in Chang'an, and it is enough to leave these things to the people."

"I still say the same sentence at the beginning, Datang is not yet ready to need his daughter's family to go to the battlefield."

Shu An shook his head and continued to speak, he didn't want this disciple to go to the battlefield at the beginning.

However, the historical trajectory is considered powerful, and even if Li Xiuning has his teachings, he is also very interested in weapons such as swords.

Even if he now has the Immortal Fist Technique, he is still inferior to this disciple in terms of strength.

However, after thinking of this, Shu An's mind couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light.

He seems to have forgotten something, that is, he forgot to teach Xiuning the content of health preservation.

In addition, Xiuning also didn't mention it, and for a while, Shu An couldn't help but have some bitter smiles in his heart, obviously feeling that he was a little old.

But now that he remembered it, Shu An naturally wouldn't be stingy.

On the other hand, Li Xiuning didn't have anything to say to the teacher's words, but he heard his teacher talk about health preservation.

Li Xiuning was still quite interested in health preservation, and he forgot about Datang's future choice for a while.
