"Ahem, uncles are here today, Ning won't talk nonsense, this map has been partially changed by Ning, focusing on the three major ports that Datang should set up in the future, today, what we need to know is the future planning of these three ports, as well as the specific itinerary of your uncles." Suning said with a small wooden stick and pointing to the map hanging on the screen.

A group of old guys sat on the chair and looked at Suning and the map he drawn, today they gathered in Su Mansion, just for this matter, for this reason, they also brought a lot of wives and children, I don't know that I thought that the royal gathering of the Tang Dynasty was going to start in Su Mansion.

Li Chengqian, as the special representative of Li Erma, went to Su Mansion to prevent some uncles and uncles who were not very good at heart tolerance from leading some not very good incidents to happen because Suning's words were too sensational, and he was in charge here, which would make these uncles and uncles lose face a little bit, and they would not lose face in front of him, the future third generation head of the Li family.

Suning saw that the scene had settled down, nodded, pointed to Beiping City with a small wooden stick, and drew a large circle with the location of Tianjin: "First, Beiping Port, right here, this circle contains Beiping and its southeast seafront, set up a port here, everyone has also seen it, here, Beiping City, is an important town in my Tang Shandong rejuvenation plan."

Beiping is located in the border of Liaodong and Shandong, it has been an important military town since ancient times, the white horse general Gongsun Zan of the late Han Dynasty came from here, and the hometown of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun is also not far here. It can be described as an outstanding person, and Xiangyang, Jinling, Chengdu, Chang'an, and Luoyang are the first batch of key development cities of our Tang Dynasty, with a large population and many garrisons, which are important material storage points and transit points for our Tang Dynasty to launch an attack on Goguryeo in the future.

For this reason, the transportation arteries around Beiping City have been built perfectly, and because the private merchant groups and the Xue Yantuo tribes are important trading towns, the development is perfect, it can be said that the port relies on the excellent conditions of Beiping City to develop is quite suitable. Strengthen the development of Beiping City with the huge benefits of sea transportation. The development of Beiping City to drive the development of the entire Shandong is really a multi-pronged move.

The places that can be reached from here to sea are Silla, Baekje, Wakoku, etc., of course, if you still have some ideas. You can do some preparation. Go to sea from here. Arriving directly in this country of the sun, although the road is long, it is not good. Once you come back, you will have to eat and drink for the rest of your life.

Of course, a military port will also be built here, and it will inevitably be used in the future war against Goguryeo, and the Wa State is also very disrespectful to us, and His Majesty is very crusading, so I hope that your uncles will not do business with Goguryeo and the Wa State, once it is discovered, it is not easy to explain it, and I hope that your uncles will understand. ”

Suning has to remind all the "uncles" here, these guys are all bold people, and they are also royal, when the time comes, Li Ermaxi will be very angry, and it will have a very bad impact on the entire royal family, but look at their appearance, well, Li Erma's prestige of Xuanwumen in the past is still there, and they don't dare to take risks.

"The second place, is here, the land of Jinling, Jinling is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with a large population, prosperous commerce, the construction of the canal of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is of great benefit to here, so Yangzhou Jinling and Jingzhou Xiangyang will become the two major cities that the Tang Dynasty focuses on development, and the land of Jinling is more close to the sea, so it is chosen to build a port in the land of Jinling.

If you build a port here, it will be backed by the land of Jinling, with sufficient population, sufficient financial and material resources, and maritime trade can bring back a lot of wealth to support the rise of the Yangtze River, and you can enter the inland of the Yangtze River along here, and this large area along the Yangtze River can be benefited, so if it is completed here, the benefit is the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The destination is mainly on the other side of the ocean, a large piece of land in the south of the Sun Country, whether there is a country similar to the Tang Dynasty, or a country like Tubo, it is not yet known, and you need to find out by yourself, but Ning has some doubts, since there is a Sun Country so close to it, there are people, then, there must be people here, whether there is a country or not, but be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Ning always thinks that the matter of going to sea must bring sufficient protection and weapons, and the heart of harming people must not be there, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable.

Moreover, a group of outsiders, whether they have culture or not is not certain, in case it is a savage, a person who drinks blood, there is no reason to say, you can only use force; If anyone in these places or any tribe has people who are disrespectful and unfriendly to my Datang people, I hope that all your uncles will not be soft, kill them, exterminate their clans, the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then bring the captives back to Datang, and the Datang Gongnu Division will pay them to buy these captives for labor reform, and the price will definitely satisfy your uncles. ”

This is an important slave trade port in Suning's planning, and it is also the most prosperous outlet to the sea in Suning's vision, without one, the commercial development of the Yangtze River Delta and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is bound to be rapid and rapid, and the accompanying slave trade will prompt a large number of outlaws to go to these places to capture slaves and sell them back to the Tang Dynasty for money.

Transfer the domestic criminal population and criminal incidents to foreign countries, and virtually expand and strengthen and legislate to protect the personal rights and interests of the local Han people in the Tang Dynasty, transfer the crimes between the population to foreign races, and make the Han people in the Tang Dynasty a higher race, hehe...... It can also provide impetus for the labor reform policy of the Tang Dynasty, lest the army shout to fight every day, and the generals do not ask for war every day, and they all shout that even if they bring a team of 1,000 people to the grassland and come back, they will get rich......

Listening to the meaning of Li Erma, he also had the worry that the development momentum of the army would be too strong, and the strength of the army would be greatly strengthened to the point of getting out of control, so Li Erma not only hoped that the establishment of the navy could bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty, but also hoped that another army could be established to check and balance the army, and the naval staff headquarters would be set up under the army staff headquarters, and a separate military center and an interest group would be established......

The army military bloc, which has the interests of road trade and the ancient Silk Road, and the navy and military group, which has maritime trade and the maritime Silk Road as the core interests, will be placed on an equal footing, and one will control the interests on land. One has the interests of the sea, and it seems that Li Erma really intends to promote a group of young generals to be the controllers of the navy, and then set up the Datang Naval Military University and the Naval Staff Headquarters in the name of training naval officers and studying naval tactics.

The two departments were in charge of the army and navy, and it was obvious that Li Erma did not intend to let the founding generals in the army get involved in maritime trade again, and of course it was not to say that it was completely banned, but there would still be obstacles in the process. After the military became a monolith. Moreover, the Shandong Shi clan was destroyed, the new literati group had not yet formed a strong force, and the momentum of the military was too fierce, and the Hou Junji incident sounded the alarm for Li Er's majesty.

The emperor's mind lies in the way of checks and balances. Unbalance. Not good for the monarch. Therefore, once there is a situation in the court where the family is dominant and harmonious, the emperor will destroy and collapse by any means, if the emperor's ability is slightly weaker. will support the eunuchs to fight against the ministers, all in all, the more powerful the ministers fight, the safer the emperor will be, but everything must have a degree, many emperors can't grasp that degree, and the dynasty will be destroyed, such as the Northern Song Dynasty.

Using the navy to balance the army, causing the contradiction between the army and the navy, which seems to be similar to Japan, when Japan was the contradiction between the army and the navy was quite strict, which caused several conflicts, so once Japan appeared in the army and navy to cooperate with each other, it will be very passive, coincidentally, the US army and navy are not friendly to each other, and the bigwigs on both sides are arguing with each other in order to compete for the right to surrender to Japan, so they almost didn't take off their clothes and fight bare-chested.

However, is it really okay in this way? Not to mention that there are no admirals in the actual sense of the Tang Dynasty, even if there is, it is not enough, the number is insufficient, the navy is just established, there is no strength to compete with the army at all, it is not difficult for an army to form combat effectiveness, and it does not take a long time, but if the navy wants to form combat effectiveness, the time of loss is not ordinarily long, why is the British navy so strong? It's because people have been crisscrossing the sea for hundreds of years, and they have rich experience in grandma's house.

If the Datang Navy wants to have sufficient combat effectiveness, even if it is just a basic formation, it will take a long time, and it will only be possible to achieve it after the Naval Staff Headquarters and the Naval Military University are on the right track, but Datang has never had an authentic naval general, and the lake army hiding in Dongting Lake to fish can really come in handy?

In fact, Suning is not very optimistic about this only established sailor in Datang.

Putting down his thoughts, Suning then pointed the wooden stick to the Pearl River Delta region: "Here, adjacent to Guangzhou, the land of Guangzhou is a rare densely populated place in the south of the Tang Lingnan, which is also a natural harbor, there are a large number of islands to the south, and to the west is the country of Zhancheng, Tianzhu and other countries, there are historical materials to examine, relatively speaking, it is safer and more convenient, of course, the money earned is not as good as the land of the sun country that went far away."

However, the population here is still quite a lot, if you can, catch more prisoners of war here, the Tang Dynasty will have a lot of manpower, and these islands are rich in spices, spices are also very valuable, even if they are not as good as gold and silver, they are also valuables, if the fleet arrives here, as long as there is no hostility from the locals, it must be extremely easy.

Okay, what should be said about Ning Du has already been finished, as for how your uncles think about these things, it is up to your uncles to deal with them, which route you want to take, where you want to go, it is your uncle's own business, and this operation to the sea is your uncle's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, and there is no army to help.

The sea is dangerous, if you encounter a storm, you must pay more attention, reserve more water, you can get fresh seafood at sea, but you can't get drinking water, so sailing at sea, water is the most important, followed by preparing more fresh fruits, of course, fresh fruits are not easy to store, tea can also be compared with it, if you need tea, you can order it here, the price is absolutely satisfactory to your uncle! ”

Suning advertised his tea without a trace, this group of old guys said that they were poor, but in fact, they all had the ability to go to sea, which can also be called poor? If you don't snatch a little money from them, you're really sorry for yourself.

"Fruit? Tea? Why is that? One of the old guys asked very strangely, "Sanming, you probably said this because you want to make more money, right?" Your tea isn't cheap! ”

As soon as he said this, even Li Chengqian turned his doubtful and suspicious eyes on Suning, Suning felt that his kindness was eaten as a donkey's liver and lungs, and said angrily: "This is what the master said, the experience left by the maritime merchants who have gone to sea, although I don't know why, anyway, I know that if I want to go to the Sun Country and this big island, it must take a long time, if there are no vegetables and fruits, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive, you uncles are free, if you don't believe it, just think Ning didn't say it, of course, if the fleet is wiped out, It has nothing to do with Ning! (To be continued......)
