It snowed overnight.

The next day, get up.

Li Tai slowly washed his hands and put on his clothes.

Then, sit on the main hall and drink tea slowly.

Eat meat every day, if you don't drink some tea, it's really not good.

There is also wheat in the Western Regions, but the locals eat more meat.

There are dozens of sheep in the family, which is considered a well-off family in Datang, but in the Western Regions, it still belongs to the poor middle peasants.

Princess Han Xijun once said: "My family marries my Xitian side, and I trust the king of Wusun from a foreign country." The dome is the room, the wall is the wall, the meat is the food, and the cheese is the pulp. ”

"Father!"

"Father!"

Two milky voices sounded, and I saw Qi Lian and Kunlun, the two little princes, walking in from outside.

Tiger-headed.

The two came to Li Tai's side, bowed, and said, "Father, Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity." ”

"Yo, you two little guys are worthy of being my Li Tai's eldest son and second son." Li Tai laughed, took out the gold coins that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed them to the two little princes.

The little prince took it, his face full of joy.

Looking at the two children, Li Tai's face was full of doting.

"It's obviously a son-in-law!" Pearl Khan said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the son-in-law, the son-in-law, the eldest son, the second son." Li Tai hurriedly said.

Never reason with women, especially your own women.

Once you reason with her, she will be very angry, and then she will find other men to be unreasonable, and then her head will be a green grassland.

Li Tai and Zhenzhu Khan chatted casually.

After a while, the Yu sisters also came.

Both girls were pregnant, and their bellies grew bigger.

There is also Loulan beauty Naima, who has a big belly.

Everyone sat in the palace, but unfortunately the palace in the Western Regions did not burn floor heating, it was really not ordinary cold.

Occasionally, Li Tai looked in the direction of Datang absent-mindedly, Zhenguan for ten years, Li Tai remembered well, his mother died this year.

Therefore, Li Tai was very anxious and wanted to go back as soon as possible to help his mother survive this catastrophe.

The cause of this incident was the death of Empress Changsun's mother Gao, who was overly sad and depressed, and died soon after.

In this life, as Li Tai and her own son, he can't say anything to let his mother leave him.

After a while, Su Dingfang and others also entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Li Tai.

Chinese people still attach great importance to their own customs and culture, and no matter where they go, they must pass on their own culture and customs.

In the second year of junior high school, Li Tai feasted everyone in the palace.

In the third year of junior high school, Li Tai began to plan.

Although the Western Regions is bitterly cold, it is rich in resources.

In particular, it is a place where gold is produced.

Therefore, on the fourth day of the junior high school, Li Tai ordered people to start looking for the gold mines in Qiuzi Country.

Finally, ten days later, Su Dingfang returned with news of the gold mine.

In the main hall, there are only Su Dingfang and Li Tai.

The squire stood guard from a distance, not letting anyone approach.

"Your Highness, the gold mine has been found." Su Dingfang's face was full of joy.

Gold mines!

"Very well, since there is a gold mine, it will be easy to do." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Li Tai's mouth and said, "Brother Su, I plan to let you stay in the Western Regions for five years. ”

"Huh?" When Su Dingfang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

What's going on?

"Don't worry, you are a famous general, with you in the Western Regions, I can rest assured." Li Tai smiled, comforted him, and said: "Your title will definitely not be less, you help me in the Western Regions, I will grant you the position of a county duke, if you can in the future, it will not be okay to grant you the position of a national duke." ”

"Your Highness, this ...... This ......" Su Dingfang heard this, and his face changed greatly.

Your Highness, this is trying to take the heir!

What should I do?

Su Dingfang was very worried, Li Tai succeeded in winning the heir, but if he failed, he would be finished.

This time, even if you are not an earl or a marquis in Chang'an City, how can you be good?

"Hahaha......" As if he had seen through Su Dingfang's thoughts, Li Tai laughed: "General Su, what do you think of my father and emperor now?" ”

"Your Majesty is at the top of your life." Su Dingfang said.

"What about five years from now?" Li Tai smiled: "Five years later, my father is the most proud time in his life, even if I want to ascend to that position, I am powerless." ”

"Actually, this title was given to you by me on behalf of my father and the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai said.

Hearing this, Su Dingfang stood up and said, "Please give orders to Your Highness!" ”

Five years!

Gun-gun!

These five years are worth it!

Li Tai stared at Su Dingfang, and then slowly spoke: "I think so, in the Western Regions, in addition to these original foreign countries of our Tang Dynasty, there are also Huoxun, Kangguo, Shiguo, Miguo, etc. ”

The nine surnames of Zhaowu came from Zhaowu County, that is, Linze County in Gansu, where a group of people appeared and went to Central Asia to establish nine countries.

"In addition to the nine surnames of Zhaowu, there are also the countries of Dashi, Persia, Tocharian and Tianzhu, and further to the west, there are also Daqin and the west of Daqin, with a vast territory and a large population."

"I Datang wants to conquer these places, but I really have no power." Li Tai couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, my generation will hold a three-foot Qingfeng for the Tang Dynasty and expand the territory for Your Majesty!" Su Dingfang said loudly, looking excited.

Military generals, although not everyone is a war maniac, but without fighting, there is no merit, and without merit, it is difficult for a military general to get a knighthood.

"I know, you are all heroic, give you tens of thousands of troops, you can build a bigger land for the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai changed his words and said, "However, even if we defeat the whole world, we may not be able to hold it." ”

"We Datang lack population, if we give me a population of 2 billion, I can make the whole world Datang, but unfortunately the population of my Datang is still too small."

"What's the use of laying down pieces of rivers and mountains, but not being able to hold them?" Li Tai said: "Therefore, I thought of a compromise solution, since we can't occupy their territory by force for a long time, then we will use commerce to control them. ”

"How can this business be controlled?" Su Dingfang was very puzzled.

"You have to listen to me slowly about this." Li Tai showed a smug smile on his face, and then slowly talked to Su Dingfang.

At this time, Su Dingfang was like a child, listening attentively beside him.

After a long time, he let out a sigh and said: "Your Highness is really a good strategy, a good strategy, with this strategy, a hundred years later, these countries will become part of the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

Li Tai said that in this era, it is still quite advanced.

Without him, Li Tai just wants to control these countries economically.

It just so happened that the country of Qiuzi was located on the commercial exchange line between the East and the West, and there were gold mines here.

You can use it.
