In the 16th century, one-third of the world's silver came from Iwami Ginzan. With this sentence, Yanagi believed that it was a huge silver mine.

Moreover, in some records of the Ming Dynasty, there are those who call Wadao the Silver Islands.

It is enough to prove that the number of silver mines in Wajima is amazing.

"Bartering is not conducive to prosperity. Datang is currently short of coins, and the reason is that there is too little copper. Using silk, silk, and cloth as the main object, instead of coins, has a huge restriction on the development of Datang, and my Datang gold and silver are less, if you make a silver coin, then it is a hundred Wen, it is indeed beneficial to my Datang. ”

Cui Junsu, as the head of the household, was not surprised to see this.

The largest amount of money officially in circulation in Datang at present is five coins, that is, half a tael of copper coins. Then there are the standard copper coins of one penny, and the steel coins worth five, two, and one cents.

Or a silver coin or two, which is actually better.

But this large amount of money is of little use to ordinary people, and can only be used for the settlement of commodities.

"Obey the people and punish the king, this order cannot be wrong, otherwise it will cause a civil uprising."

Du Ruhui put forward his own opinion.

Liu Mu was just listening at this time, and did not interject half a sentence. Compared with the Chinese dynasties, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the highest in terms of the quantity and quality of foreign warfare, and the Tang Dynasty has recorded 150 regular battles in foreign wars, compared with the time of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that there is an average of one foreign war every two years.

In the beginning, it was the Battle of Preservation and then the War of Expansion.

"There are four million people in the Wa, and these people are useful to the Tang Dynasty. With the support of my Datang, it is not a problem to increase the population of Wajima by another two million in 20 years. There is no problem in pumping a million ding from Wadao, the Western Regions can be firmly in the hands of my Tang Dynasty, then the ancient Silk Road can be opened. ”

Du Ruhui also put forward a plan for the future.

After finishing speaking, Du Ruhui turned his head to look at Liu Mu: "Further south, what else is there?" ”

"The world." Yanagi replied with only these two words.

Everyone laughed, and Fang Xuanling asked, "Let's be practical." ”

"Rice, sugar, spices, hemp, dyes, wood. The land of Nanyang alone can supply the consumption of 100 million people in Datang. That's not ......" Liu Mu smiled: "Not counting the gold that can replace the number of bricks and stones of Taiji Palace." and another, enough to replace two pieces of silver for Chang'an masonry. ”

After saying that, Liu Mu added: "What's the matter with the Japanese nobles, they are going to die anyway." The Japanese are good soldiers who are all-terrain and can adapt to all kinds of battles. ”

"So, help Prince Funan return to the throne?" Fang Xuanling looked around.

Everyone shook their heads, this plan is too big, once implemented, it will be a national war for Datang to raise the strength of the country, and this fight will be at least three to five years.

"What if, Xue Yantuo accepts my Tang canonization?" Liu Mu threw out another sentence.

"Is it possible?" Xiao Yu didn't believe it.

Liu Mu is full of confidence: "I will write a letter, let Ma Zhou be the main envoy, Cui Yiye as the deputy envoy, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai as the left and right guards, this winter Xue Yantuo will send someone to kneel at the feet of the imperial brother, it is estimated that after Jieli hears it, he will definitely come to ask for marriage and perform a son-in-law ceremony, but it's a pity...... The royal brother wanted him to die. ”

Li Shimin laughed. Pointing to Liu Mu: "Xiao Mu, you really ...... Never mind. The Ministry of Rites reconsiders the candidates, Ma Zhou can be considered, and the rest of the people are selected. ”

The eight important ministers in the room also laughed.

Liu Mu seems to be completely sure, otherwise he would not have sent his fourth and fifth brothers-in-law over, this is to pick up credit.

Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The main envoy uses Ma Zhou, this person is talented and courageous. The deputy general of the escort army can choose one of Xue and Xi. The chief general of the protector army asked the military department to choose a general, and the deputy envoy recommended six people, and everyone helped to pick one. ”

"The minister thinks that the king of Yijun should be invited to discuss the matter."

Qin Qiong was quickly found in, and when asked about Mobei's information, Qin Qiong said: "There is news that Jieli gets along very poorly with various tribes. ”

"The news from Mobei was three months ago, and now it is estimated that these tribes are already thinking of a way to leave Jieli, and they may elect Tong Jin Yi Nan as the khan." Yanagi added.

Qin Qiong checked all the information on the grassland, and when he heard Liu Mu say this, he also said: "There is this possibility, from the secret letter of the Hui Khan, it is also determined that Yi Nan has the highest prestige. The tribes seem to have a desire to break away from Jieli, especially after the Turkic tent fled north, and the hearts of the people were scattered, and it is possible that they are already planning now. ”

Qin Qiong relied on the countless intelligence from the Divine Strategy Hidden Guard to make effective inferences.

After hearing this, Li Shimin commanded: "Shubao, can you go north for me, if Yi Nan really has the heart to return to my Tang Dynasty, you can see him in Suzhou and reward him on my behalf." ”

"The Ministry of Rites will arrange what will be rewarded."

"Yes!" Tang Jian and Qin Qiong gave a salute together.

It is impossible for Qin Qiong to go north, after all, the grassland is still under the control of Jieli, and Qin Qiong's identity cannot be lost, which is a serious damage to the national prestige of Datang.

But Qin Qiong, as the highest-ranking military general in the Tang Dynasty at present, represents the Tang Emperor and can be regarded as giving enough face to Yi Nan.

Qin Qiong asked again: "Sage, does the minister have a question?" ”

"You don't need to ask, you have another task over there, arrange for your subordinates to investigate the situation of Yiwu and Gaochang, I have already decided to use troops against Gaochang next year, and there is still a year to prepare, so there is no room for failure."

"Yes!" This is what Qin Qiong wants to ask.

If it is only for Yi Nan, then Chang'an can send people to have a lot of options, but for Gaochang to use troops, it is not Qin Qiong to see it in person. Li Shimin wants to fight Gaochang in a war.

At this time, Liu Mu said: "Sage, I want to go back to Jiangnan." ”

"Wait a few more days. Let's discuss the matter of the company, and it's not too late for you to come back. Ten days! Li Shimin gave Liu Mu a time limit.

Liu Mu said again: "Sage, whether the trial plan for my big farm can be continued. Also, I want to take 3,000 households to Gangnam and then to Wajima. ”

"Three thousand is too much, two thousand. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, tenants can be the people, and these two thousand households are the people. Ten people are one village, the upper people are the village, and the five villages are the inside. For the rest, let the six ministries give you a detailed legal plan, and you can make suggestions, but once the legal case is written by the Shangshu Province, it must not be violated. ”

"Yes."

Liu Mu can figure this out, and the official documents at the national level must be observed.

Xiao Yu said: "In ten days, Liu Juma will leave Chang'an, and the old minister has a few questions to ask about Bosi. The old minister thought that when he drew a squire from each of the six departments, he chose a capable official as an angel to go south to Lingnan, and made adjustments to some problems of the Xigang Shipping Division, and I would be the mighty man of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin nodded in approval: "Tell Feng Ang that I allow him to start preparations for the Funan Project and wait for the opportunity." When he set Funan, it was the time when he was crowned king. ”

"Command!"
