Waging war against foreign countries.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for Shangshu Province on the Chang'an side, only Liu Mu has the right to launch a national war against Zhenla as the chief envoy.

Su Dingfang thought in his heart that Liu Mu was not sure of his and Hou Junji's leadership ability, so he hesitated.

Then, prove it to Yanagi.

Su Dingfang believes that Hou Junji is also such a choice, and the man will seek wealth immediately.

It took half a day for Willow to resupply Temasek, and Willow got on board and headed for the Strait of Malacca.

On the boat, Liu Mu and Dugu Lanruo talked about their conversation with Su Dingfang, and Dugu Lanruo was puzzled: "Why don't you just show the warrant, Su and Hou You said that they are famous generals in the growing up, and they are excellent commanders second to Li Shangshu." ”

"I can't afford to lose."

"Can't afford to lose?" Dugu Lan was puzzled.

Yanagi explained: "They all see that I have the power in my hands, and the escort of my chief division is enough to start a small national war. But none of these guys thought that if I won the war, I still had the right to go to war with the outside world. If I am defeated, even if the saint does not blame me, I will give back the right to start a war. ”

"No, that's not right." Dugu Lanruo objected to Liu Mu's statement: "As a superior person, you must dare to act." ”

"Well, you're right. I still insist on this matter, at least let me see the ability of these two generals to fight independently, they only have the total number of about 11,000 Tang troops in their hands, and they are not the most elite troops, the rest are 100,000 Japanese soldiers, and when I come back from Rome to see how far they can go, let me make up my mind. ”

This time, Liumu's reason Dugu Lanruo recognized: "It's okay." ”

The topic ended here, and Dugu Lanruo didn't say anything more about it.

Dugu Lanruo said: "Why does the husband want to go to Rome? ”

"Rome is just the first stop, and I want to have you with me all over the world in my lifetime."

"The world?" Dugu Lanruo didn't understand this word at all.

Datang, there is no such word.

Liu Mu patted his head lightly, he is not a top student majoring in Chinese, and he is only at the level of a code farmer in history, and this word does not seem to have appeared yet.

Yanagi explained: "The world is the world, the world. This word Taoism has explained, the world or something. ”

"There is this word, remember Chu Ci - the fisherman wrote: The world is turbid, I am clear; Everyone is drunk, but I am alone. This is a detached person's name for the common man. ”

Liu Muxin said that it is powerful, and it is worthy of the result of famous education.

Dugu Lanruo continued: "The realm refers to the border, the domain. The world together means that it should be a place where ordinary people live. may refer to ...... World. ”

"Yes, it's the world. The meaning of the world can be understood as all, all the world. ”

"Okay." Dugu Lanruo did not ask about the origin of the word "world", it must not have been invented by Liu Mu, and Liu Mu's language can be understood by Dugu Lanruo very well.

Of course, leaving some little secrets for Liu Mu is also Dugu Lanruo's tolerance as a wife.

"So, how to travel around the world?"

"It depends on how Madame wants to swim, just on the sea is very interesting. But there are some dangers if I keep on the shore, and there is at least one place where I don't want to go near the shore for the time being. ”

Dugu Lanruo asked, "The shore lady there doesn't want to get closer?" ”

"Tianzhu."

"What do you suggest?"

Liu Mu showed Dugu Lanruo a map: "This is called Ceylon Island, named after Sanskrit hundreds of years ago, and now it should be in the war period, the Tamils and the Sangha are fighting to the death, but their war is in the eyes of Mrs., it is estimated that two villages are fighting with farm tools." ”

"What's here?"

"It's a lot of beauty, but it's not safe because of the scuffle, but there's a lot of gem veins. Ceylon sapphire is the finest, and Ceylon red is also of the highest quality. ”

Dugu Lanruo nodded: "It's good, you can send troops and horses to occupy it, so that your husband will lead troops to attack Tianzhu in the future, not to mention that there must be countless seafood, gems, and pearls here." ”

"Madame, good eye."

Yanagi's finger continued west, pointing to the island of Socotra.

"Madam, this place is worth visiting, there are more than 800 species of plants unique to the world, especially the dragon's blood tree. The top-grade dragon's blood drops are like tears, and their value is not low. It is a medicinal herb and can also be used as a dye. Of course, there is a treasure here, and it is estimated that only the husband knows about it in the world. ”

Looking at Liu Mu's smug expression, Dugu Lan Ruo smiled very happily, but still followed Liu Mu: "Then please ask your husband to give advice." ”

"Centennial...... Dragon, saliva, incense! ”

The three words of ambergris came out, and Dugu Lanruo's face was full of shock.

Liu Mu added: "Walking along the beach, you can pick up at least a few hundred catties of pure white ambergris." This value is definitely the value of picking up gold. ”

Dugu Lan was shocked and couldn't even say a word from her mouth.

Huqin, who was sitting on the side and learning to fiddle with the tea set, screamed, quickly ran to the door to take a look, and hurriedly came back and closed the door tightly: "Lang Jun, don't dare to say it again, if you let a few of them hear it, this will be okay." ”

Yanagi had never been to Socotra in later generations, but he had heard of it.

The island is amazing, all the plants feel like alien plants, completely different from the rest of the earth, and many of the plants have strange effects.

But it has no development value, and it is too far away from Datang.

Liu Mu pointed to the north: "Next here is the Red Sea, from here all the way to the north, then through an ancient canal, and then a little more on foot, you will reach the Mediterranean." I thought about it for a long time and didn't plan to go here, because abandoning my fleet made me feel uneasy. ”

"How are you going to go?"

If Dugu Lan had seen the charts brought back by the trading fleet, it seemed that this was the only way.

Liu Mu quickly drew a few strokes on the chart, and then added a small island: "Here, Madagascar, even if there are living people, it is estimated that there will not be too many." There is a very magical place on this island, the natural spice island, tens of millions of acres, countless rare flowers that cannot be seen in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Then we landed, and Madame could see a million wild cattle galloping, a million wild horses galloping, tens of thousands of elephants, lions, leopards, and the wildest of the wildest beasts. I think this may be the hometown of Kunlunnu. The gold and silver veins here account for more than half of the world's total. ”

Dugu Lanruo's eyes changed when she saw Liu Mu, even if she was willing to keep some little secrets for Liu Mu.

But what she heard at the moment could no longer make her understand how Liu Mu could know this.

Liu Mu didn't pay attention to Dugu Lanruo's eyes, and said to himself: "There are countless woods here, and there are countless precious woods. But there are enough of them in Indochina, and it's not worth cutting down trees here. ”
