Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Not bad." Moreover, as long as the whole country of Linyi is flat, it can be planted for three crops a year. Not only Linyi Country, but from Linyi Country to the south and southwest, there is a large area of land that is no less than the entire Tang Dynasty, where all of them can be planted and harvested three seasons a year! Moreover, that land was almost full of mountains of gold, and the stones were all red, and gold was born in them. The golden night flies out, like fireflies. and tortoiseshell, shell teeth, gibery, and agarwood incense. Jibei, the name of the tree also, when its bloom is like a goose, draw its thread and spin it to make cloth, white and cloth is not different, also dyed into five colors, woven into a spotted cloth also. Sinking wood, the native people cut it, accumulate years, rot and the heart is alone, put in the water is sinking, so the name is called agarwood. It was an incomparably rich land, but it was a pity that it was full of uneducated barbarians, alas, it was a pity that such a large piece of treasure land! ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, the eyes of the surrounding people suddenly widened, Xia Hongsheng could feel it, and everyone's snorts became heavy.

To use a bad analogy, it is like a man seeing a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a flower and beautiful and beautiful in the country, but only to marry a toad who is ugly, lazy, stupid and poor.

That's right, Xia Hongsheng deliberately said such an exaggeration, it was to lure them in Chiguoguo.

It is to make them jealous, to make them angry, to make them want to take that land for themselves!

It is like the mysterious Orient that was "full of gold" in the eyes of Europeans in later generations. This dream encouraged many European adventurers and navigators to find ways to go to the East. And in fact, the East really did not treat them badly. The wealth and technology from the East enabled the Europeans to quickly open up new shipping routes, start the Age of Discovery, complete the primitive accumulation of capitalism, and promote the later scientific and technological revolution. It can be said that wealth is always one of the most powerful internal drivers of progress.

Xia Hongsheng hopes that Datang will occupy there, which will provide Datang with a large area of land suitable for farming, and the climate there will also ensure that Champa rice can be harvested three times a year. And this ensured the food supply of Datang, reduced the burden of the people on the land, and the constraints of the land on the people. As long as there is enough food, more people will go into business. The development of commerce is the main source of a country's wealth. When the business has developed to a certain extent, all aspects of Datang will usher in innovation.

In addition, there is wood on this land that is most suitable for ocean voyages. Until the advent of machines capable of propelling large steel ships, these ships made of wood would be the most important source of building materials for ocean voyages.

Xia Hongsheng will unveil the wealth of the whole world in front of the eyes of the world step by step, so that the world can expand and expand outward...... All this is inseparable from ocean-going vessels.

In the Age of Discovery, Xia Hongsheng hopes that this time it will be created by Datang!

Datang should not only be the overlord on land, but also the overlord on the sea.

"Your Majesty, my lords, think about it, there is a piece of land that is comparable to the land area of the Tang Dynasty, and Champa rice can be planted everywhere on it......" Xia Hongsheng saw that everyone was surprised, so he continued to whisper in a very demagogic tone.

There was no doubt that a look of reverie appeared on everyone's face. Li Shimin licked his lips involuntarily, and that greedy look climbed onto the faces of the ministers in this room without leaking. There was a room full of heavy gasps, and people who didn't know thought something was going on inside.

This is because the military people didn't come today, if it were replaced by that group of veteran ruffians, it is estimated that they would all start to fight for the battle at this time, and fight for who should grab this credit.

"Your Majesty, please give me a pen and paper!" Xia Hongsheng saw that the effect of the bewitchment was very good, and decided to add another fire, so that the seeds of the government's land would grow more vigorously in the hearts of Li Shimin and this group of ministers who could influence the emperor's decision-making.

Li Shimin nodded, stared at the map without moving, and waved his hand at Wang De.

Wang De immediately brought a pen and paper, Xia Hongsheng took it, spread it out, attracted everyone's attention, and began to draw in everyone's surprised eyes: "Your Majesty, this piece is our Tang Dynasty, this is Tubo, here Linyi, last time Weichen painted it for His Majesty." However, the rest of the surrounding areas were not finished at that time. You see, down from the country of Linyi, there is a big river here, and all along the river is fertile arable land, all the way to here, is the seaside. To the south, this is the coastal ocean line. Here, it's all land. Continue to the southwest, here comes out of this sharp point, and Tubo is separated by a mountain that cannot be crossed, this is Tianzhu. Tianzhu everyone knows that although the area is not as large as our Tang Dynasty, it is far larger than the Central Plains. All of this piece can be planted three seasons a year, and you all know the wealth of Tianzhu. What's more, such a large piece of land, but the countries above it are very weak, too weak, not to mention the Turks, even Xue Yantuo is much stronger than them. As long as there is medicine that can resist the miasma, as long as there are suitable weapons, our 10,000 elite soldiers in Datang can fight from here to here! ”

That's pretty straightforward.

"Hehe, listening to Xiahou's words, could it be ......" The people present are all bigwigs in the DPRK and China, none of them are fools, listening to Xia Hongsheng say this, if you can't think of Xia Hongsheng's intentions, then it will be in vain that Li Lao Er can call them over.

"I'm just sorry!" Xia Hongsheng said: "This is like a peerless divine weapon, which is used as a crutch by a stupid and stupid Hanako." Weichen is unwilling! Why are those barbarians who don't know anything or even know how to wear neat clothes, but occupy such a large area of land that can grow three crops of rice in a year, while the people of my Datang have to worry about food! Weichen is not convinced! ”

"I'm not convinced!" Li Shimin stared at the simple map of South Asia and Southeast Asia drawn by Xia Hongsheng, and suddenly said coldly.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin, but saw that Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing still decided on the pilot of Zhancheng rice first. As for the matter of Lin Yi and Tianzhu...... This is a long-term solution. ”

Li Shimin's last half of the sentence was very light, but anyone could hear the meaning. The more insipid Li Shimin is to the point of almost indifference to something, he often really makes up his mind to take it seriously. All of Li Shimin's major decisions were not made by shouting, they were all so light, but in such an indifferent and quiet tone.

Xia Hongsheng was very excited.

Xia Hongsheng knew that after Li Shimin completed the conquest of the Turks in history, his main target was placed on Liaodong and Goryeo. During this period, Tuyuhun Xue Yantuo can only be regarded as an episode. It's a pity that Li Shimin's three expeditions to Goryeo in history were also unsuccessful, and he finally failed to achieve his goal until his death. Instead, it was his successor, Gaozong Li Zhi, who completed this feat on the basis of Li Shimin's three expeditions to Goryeo. However, because Gojong's vision, strategy and foresight were not as ruthless as Emperor Taejong, after conquering Goryeo, he finally let Silla take advantage of it.

Xia Hongsheng hoped that before Li Shimin made a move on Goryeo, he would be able to look south a few more times now, and first occupy the surrounding area of Linyi as the granary of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
