Yu Dayou's cautious personality could not plunder the beauty of others, and hurriedly said: "Yun Chang's words are wrong, since the emperor's edict has been issued, there is no reason to change it. Yu is stationed in the Red Sea, and he has nothing to do, so he is always a counselor. When the canal is opened, the army will be immediately waved into the Mediterranean, and there will be no time to be distracted from the aftermath. ”

At this time, Guan Yu had already understood the reason why Li Yi vigorously developed the navy, there were thousands of generals in the Tang Dynasty, and there were only dozens of people who could really command the navy to fight, and the best of them were only three or five people, and Yu Dayou was an outstanding representative of them. Yu Dayou led the navy, pacified Dongying, went south to Linyi, Funan, and expeditioned to Luzon, which can be described as a great achievement, and the trek of tens of thousands of miles, the expedition to Rome, the emperor regarded the navy as the main force in his mind.

Guan Yu saw Yu Dayou say this, so he had no choice but to say: "I will fly to Jicheng immediately, ask Wen Ruo to tell me on my behalf, and ask Concubine Yi to help me." ”

Yu Dayou said with a smile: "With Concubine Yi's help, the excavation of the canal will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Jicheng, Xun found Jia Xu and said with a smile: "The emperor is about to leave for the capital." ”

Jia Xu said: "The emperor has been gone for more than two years, thanks to you and me, I am diligent, and there will be no omissions in political affairs." ”

Xun said: "The emperor is really generous, he actually forced the Roman Empire to cede land and promised to open all ports to facilitate trade. ”

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and asked, "When is the message?" ”

Xun handed over a document and said with a smile: "I just received it." ”

Jia Xu took it, skimmed it, looked at Xun, and asked, "What is Wen Ruo's plan in mind?" ”

Xun smiled: "Presumably the prince has also gotten the news, although I have thought about this matter, but it depends on what the prince means?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "You and I will sum it up for the prince's consideration." ”

Xun said: "Look at the emperor's meaning, the Roman Empire is huge, and he wants to weaken its national strength with trade first, so as to facilitate the use of troops in the later period. At present, the major domestic merchants in foreign trade have made a lot of money, and if they hear that Rome has opened its ports, they will surely go away with joy. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "It's still the old charter, and all the goods that don't involve the loss of our military strength and national strength are all within the allowable range." Rome has a population of more than 50 million, which is not far behind the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Rome has been relatively stable and strong in recent years, and I Datang will start a war with it, and the outcome is unpredictable. ”

Xun said: "Since the emperor unified the territory, the country is rich and the people are safe, and the population growth is the fastest in the past 100 years. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The land is vast, the population is sparse, and it is really a sin to have land but not be able to defend it, and to waste the land." Wen Ruo's words, the strategy of seeking the country. ”

Xun smiled and said: "In this case, the prince will ask later, how to make this number come out?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Good. ”

With the help of Cao Cao, Xun, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Kou Zhun and others, Li Yan handled affairs in an orderly manner, and at this time received an urgent report of rest, and saw that his father would return to Beijing in a few days, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly came to find his mother Cai Yan.

When Cai Yan heard the news, he was also secretly happy, and said to Li Yan: "Since your father went out of Yumen Pass in the west, your mother has seen everything you have done, Yan'er, you have matured a lot, and my mother is happy for you in my heart." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "When my father comes back, my son has to relax." ”

Cai Yan reprimanded: "I just praised you a few words, and I didn't know the current affairs." As the crown prince, don't you understand your father's daily difficulties? In such a big country, there are so many things to deal with, and that day is easy to spend? You, after your father returns to Beijing, it is only right to help your father more and lighten the burden on his shoulders. ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "The lesson of the queen mother is that it is the son who is happy for a while and forgetful. ”

Cai Yan said: "Go to the military aircraft department, Wen Ruo, Wen He and the two gentlemen must be waiting for you." ”

Li Yan muttered in a low voice: "I didn't say a few words to my mother just now, and I was going to drive me away again." ”

Cai Yan glared at Li Yan and reprimanded: "Hugh is talking nonsense, and my mother is also for your good." As the crown prince, he should understand the truth that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and only when government affairs are clear can the country have long-term peace and stability. Yan'er, you were born in the emperor's family, and you can't help yourself. ”

Li Yan grinned and said, "The child knows, I'll go to the queen mother." ”

………………

When he came to the military aircraft department, Li Yan said: "Two gentlemen, when my father returns to Beijing, I must celebrate well." ”

Xun Zhengse said: "The prince is bad." It will take time for the emperor to return to Beijing, and what we should do is how to deal with the things arranged by the emperor. ”

Li Yan asked, "I don't know what the two gentlemen have planned?" ”

Xun looked at Jia Xu, and when he saw Jia Xu nodding, he repeated the words that the two had discussed just now.

Li Yan sweated on his back while listening, it seemed that he was still a lot naïve, he was only happy, and he didn't think deeply of the deep meaning of his father's letter, but fortunately, Xun and Jia Xu were both shrewd and outstanding, and they understood the potential meaning of their father.

After listening to Xun, Li Yan said: "Rome goes to the country for thousands of miles, unless there is heavy profit, and the merchants cannot be allowed to go." I wonder if the two gentlemen have a good solution? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry, prince, Yu Dayou set off from Zhuyazhou to rest in peace, all the way to the sea for tens of thousands of miles, and has already arrived near Guishuang Minagala. Xun Yu Xun Gongda was ordered by the emperor to build a military port in Minagara, and our Tang Navy is stationed here to rest. Yu Dayou drew a map of the sea navigation along the way, and noted in detail the local climate, water flow, culture, and geography, and the emperor praised it after seeing it, and ordered the army staff to copy dozens of copies, one of which has been transmitted to the Beijing Division, and the ministers have been stereotyped and printed, and it will be successful in a few days. With nautical charts in hand, wouldn't it save time and effort for major domestic merchants to float to the sea by boat, transport the goods to rest, and then set off for Rome for trafficking? ”

Xun said with a smile: "If Egypt's domestic canal is opened, it will be more convenient for merchant ships to directly enter the Mediterranean." ”

Li Yan said: "My father's long-term concern is beyond my reach. ”

Xun said: "The emperor opened the foundation of Wandai, far surpassing the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, how fortunate are we?" It's just in time. ”

Jia Xu said: "The emperor conquered Guishan and rested, and newly obtained nearly 10,000 miles of land, and Tianzhu, Guishan, and rest agriculture are much more backward than in China, so why not take the opportunity to let Shangjia bring good seeds, and then encourage agricultural bachelors from various schools to go, which can be profitable and win the hearts of the people." ”

Li Yan sighed in his heart, see it, this is the gap, the old man Jia's brain is turning fast, this is to mention himself, and said at the moment: "What Jia Gong said is very true, I will issue an edict to encourage merchants to switch to Roman trade, and encourage scholars to go to foreign lands to guide farming." ”

Xun nodded secretly, as a superior, it is not necessarily a frown, the key is to speak widely, be good at listening to the opinions of all parties, and analyze the pros and cons from it, so as to facilitate implementation.

………………

After the edict was issued, the merchants who had originally taken the land route were excited when they heard that the country had opened up sea routes.

The HNA charts drawn by Yu Dayou were repeatedly out of stock, and merchants had to reprint them overnight to meet market demand.

The appearance of the nautical map made Yu Dayou's name popular again, especially in Jiangnan, and he must be called Yu Dadu. For a while, a large group of enthusiastic young people who were stimulated yearned for, and the merchants recruited the crew, and the young people screamed excitedly, crowding forward, for fear of falling behind.

Mi Zhu also got the information in Luzon, but he was designed by Yu Dayou and couldn't get out, so he had to arrange the manpower in the family, prepare big ships, hoard goods, buy nautical charts, and recruit people.

Roman trade, such a big cake, the Mi family will not miss it, this cup of soup, you have to taste it.

After the Tang Dynasty conquered the city of Seleucia and completely conquered the Rest Empire, Li Yi finally set off to return to Beijing.

Today's Zhuge Liang has a different relationship with Li Yi, because after he returned to Jicheng in Pingding, he married Li Yi's eldest daughter, that is, Li Lin, the eldest princess of the virtuous concubine Zou. Now he is not only the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Tang Dynasty, but also the master of the horse.

Li Yi beckoned the two to his side, and looked at the two of them: "This campaign has cost a lot of money, thanks to Kong Ming and Wen Ze's effective deployment in the rear, our army can win everything and be invincible." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The ministers sit in the rear, and they can't accompany the emperor to fight on the battlefield, and they are ashamed." Dispatching military supplies is the duty of ministers, and An dares to be the emperor. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "Kong Ming doesn't need to be too humble, the military conquest depends on Weihou to stabilize the rear." Today, Kong Ming's achievements are no less than Weihou. ”

The Weihou in Li Yi's mouth refers to Kou Sui, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu conquered the Quartet, often staying in the rear with Kou Sui. Kou Sui also lived up to the trust, stabilized the rear, and transported grain, grass, and military supplies, so as to ensure that there was a shortage. After Liu Xiu completed the great cause of reunification, Kou Sui gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei, who was the Taishou of Liaoxi, and was called the Marquis of Wei after his death.

Zhuge Liang said: "How dare Weichen compare with the sages. ”

Li Yi laughed and said, "When Kong Ming was studying in Jicheng, didn't he often compare himself to wind music? ”

Zhuge Liang blushed and said: "Weichen didn't know the height of the sky at that time, and he made comparisons in vain. ”

Yu Ban played a round on the side and said: "Kong is wise and resourceful, and since he has served in Yangzhou, Wadao, and the Western Regions, there is no place that is not a great rule. I think Kong Ming's talent is definitely better than Guan Zhong and Le Yi. ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Kong Ming's talent, I naturally know it. Now in the Western Regions, when Zhong Da was in office, this is all due to Kong Ming. ”

Of course, Zhuge Liang's talent is not imaginary, in another time and space, he assisted Liu Bei to govern Sichuan for many years, several Northern Expeditions, and competed with the powerful Cao Wei Group in just one state, and six out of Qishan, although he was defeated and fought repeatedly, this spirit can still be regarded as tenacious.

Zhuge Liang said: "Since meeting the emperor, following the left and right, the emperor is far-sighted, no matter how he governs the country and uses soldiers, he has never been sent before, crisscrossing the four seas, sweeping away the stubborn people, and dying in the world." The minister has to follow the emperor, it is really a blessing for three lives. ”
