Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, this is no coincidence, he just happened to have something to find Guo Ming, but he didn't expect Guo Ming to come to the door instead.

"Please."

Soon, Guo Ming came to the Liangyi Palace, and after Guo Ming came in, Li Shimin had already prepared tea and chairs here, and after Guo Ming saluted, the two sides sat down, and Li Shimin spoke: "I don't know if Ambassador Guo came this time, does he have any latest orders?" ”

"That's right, I just received the latest order from the leader of Huo Gang in my country." Guo Ming immediately smiled and said, "My country is willing to expand the scale of trade with Datang. ”

"Oh? Scaling up trade? How is this enlargement? Li Shimin nodded slightly, although he was asking, but there was no expression on his face, in fact...... Li Shimin really doesn't know what it means to expand the scale of trade?

He knows about trade, he knows about expansion, he knows about scale, but what does it mean to be linked? It's not that Li Shimin doesn't understand these words, but the scale of trade, and he didn't make restrictions, isn't the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty just about how much trade you want? How does this thing expand?

"That's right, because of some technological advances in my Dahan, so this year we can increase the number of war horses exported to Datang, and theoretically there is no limit." Guo Ming said with a smile.

"Really?!" Although Li Shimin tried hard to stabilize his emotions, he still didn't stabilize it, mainly because this trade had too much impact on Datang! The current Datang itself lacks horses, not to mention excellent war horses, and in the past period of time, the thousands of war horses that Dahan sold to Datang have been tested and used.

These horses are so good! They are definitely the best war horses, and for this point, for Datang, it will take at least several years for them to breed the same number of war horses!

And now Dahan is actually willing to sell to them, not to mention, and there is no limit to the quantity!

"Of course it's true, the price is the price we agreed before. However, we may need to buy some raw materials, such as the large-scale trona ore you told Your Majesty before, and Eucommia ulmoides gum and so on. Guo Ming immediately talked about trade.

There is no place for planting and production of these things, and even if there is a place for production, it is impossible to compare with the scale of Datang, so it is necessary to import raw materials, process them with supplied materials, and then export a large number of finished products with high added value value.

Not to mention anything else, Datang's rare earths alone make people feel greedy, although Dahan can't actually use them now, or only a small part of them.

However, Huo Gang was not greedy when he arrived, no one can use the rare earth mine in Baiyun Obo at present, and if Huo Gang will develop westward in the future, it is not without rare earths, and more importantly, Huo Gang's future development direction is oil!

At present, this is more important than rare earths.

As the most important market for Dahan in the future, increasing the population of Datang is also a strategic task of Dahan.

"No problem." Li Shimin agreed directly without thinking about it, "We have discovered the trona ore in Henan Province, but the roads there are more difficult, so the roads are still being repaired for the time being, and the real minerals will be transported to Dahan in about three months." ”

"We will intensify the mining of alkali ore as soon as possible." Li Shimin said seriously, "As for Eucommia ulmoides, Datang has already found someone to study it, we can provide you with a batch of seeds, and we will arrange people to plant it on a large scale, but the growth of Eucommia is relatively slow, so it will take time to get enough products." ”

"Well, I can understand, so the leader doesn't have too many time requirements for this, but it must be continuously increased, and in addition, we can export a large amount of steel to Datang, or...... Simply sell knives or armor directly, a large number of bright light armor. Guo Ming brought up another thing that Li Shimin couldn't refuse at all.

"This ......" Li Shimin was really shocked, even Mingguang armor could be sold? And it's still a massive sale? How the hell did this big man do it?

"In addition, after the end of this year, our Dahan grain is expected to be harvested, so according to the current meteorological state, there should be a famine in Datang this year, and we can sell at least more than two million people's grain for a year to Datang." Guo Ming added.

Li Shimin really couldn't sit still this time, he stood up directly and asked; "Ambassador Guo, just say, what do you Huo Gang leaders want from our Datang?"

You can't blame Li Shimin for being so calm, the main thing is that he can't be calm, these things are strategic-level resources, but the Han is actually willing to sell them now, Li Shimin wants to ask why, but he can't ask now.

Let's talk about things in my hand first, not to mention anything else, such as weapons and armor plus war horses, Datang is really lacking.

"Population." Guo Ming was not polite, and said directly.

"We in Datang have no way to take the initiative to migrate the population to Dahan." Li Shimin thought for a while and said directly, "I know that these people have lived well when they go to the Dahan Society, but for Datang, the people are also the foundation, even if I allow it, but I can't send it over directly, because this is already buying and selling people." ”

"Your Majesty laughed, of course we can't let Your Majesty do such a thing, but our idea is that Datang allows us to publicize some preferential policies of Dahan, in this way, if there are people who are willing to migrate by themselves, I hope Datang will not stop it." Guo Ming said very dryly.

"I can promise this, and I can even take the initiative to let people help you promote it." Li Shimin agreed directly without thinking about it, the reason is very simple, the Han lacks population, but the Tang Dynasty is not lacking, and more importantly, Li Shimin knows very well that the migration of the people, unless there is a disaster year, otherwise, it is not so easy, even if you tell these people that life is better over there in the past.

But as long as they can survive in their hometown, even if it is a little worse, most people are reluctant to emigrate, because for most people, their hometown is a place that makes them nostalgic.

Therefore, even if it is propaganda, the Han can actually attract not many people, and it is estimated that there are not even a million people.

Of course, the number of one million people is not much for Datang, but for Dahan, this population has almost doubled the population of Dahan, and for them, it is naturally very needed.

"Plus, we have one more request." Guo Ming said very dryly.

"Ambassador Guo, please speak."

"That's right, our Dahan Central Bank wants to establish branches in the current Liangzhou and deeper places, and it is best to establish branches in the cities along the way to Chang'an, so that it is conducive to trade between us, especially the various commercial houses in Datang It is more convenient to directly exchange the currency of our Dahan, and it can also avoid them from transporting a large amount of gold and silver."

"That way, they're slower." Guo Ming said seriously.

Li Shimin thought for a moment before he spoke: "I can promise you this, it's not a big deal." ”

For Li Shimin, he actually doesn't care about this matter, mainly in this era, the money village is a new thing at all, Li Shimin doesn't understand these things at all, so he can't blame Li Shimin for agreeing so quickly, and more importantly, Li Shimin can't think of what the establishment of the money village means.

"Then there is no problem, all my tasks this time have been completed, if Your Majesty wants to buy war horses, armor and other related military materials, you can place an order directly, but I personally suggest that Your Majesty had better set up an official state-owned trading house in Datang to trade these military materials, so as to avoid the outflow of military materials." Guo Ming said.

"Thank you Ambassador Guo for your suggestion, this is indeed the way it should be, and I will explain to someone to set up a business bank in this regard." Li Shimin thought about it carefully, and it was better to hand over these aspects of transportation and trade to a special person, rather than to hand them over to the household department.

After all, special things are handed over to special people to do, and Li Shimin feels that there is no problem with this.

"It just so happens that I actually have one thing here that I want to trouble Ambassador Guo." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"That's right, I would like to ask Ambassador Guo to help us find a transport caravan for the big man, and then help me lead a team of people to Yumen Pass." Li Shimin said seriously.

"A team of people? Who? Guo Ming was stunned for a moment.

"It's the three princes of my Tang Dynasty, I want them to go to Yumen Pass to study with the leader of Huo Gang, including the crown prince of my Han Dynasty." Li Shimin did not hide it, although he was not prepared to send the Imperial Forest Army to protect them to the Western Regions, and wanted Li Chengqian to grow up on the way.

But telling the other party's identity in advance and letting them protect them somewhat when they encounter danger, Li Shimin still has to do this, after all, these are his three sons!

"This ...... Your Majesty can discuss it with Leader Huo? Guo Ming was shocked, the three princes still include the crown prince?

"No, but I wrote a letter to the leader of Huo Gang, presumably he will not refuse, if you wait for the letter to pass and then return, it will take at least two months, and when they go again, it will be three months later, too long, I want them to go directly on the road." Li Shimin shook his head slightly.

"This will trouble Ambassador Guo, of course, if Ambassador Guo is inconvenient, then I can find a caravan to arrange by myself." Li Shimin didn't wait for Guo Ming to speak, and continued.

Hearing this, Guo Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, he understood that Li Shimin clearly wanted to send people over, he agreed or not, Li Shimin could send them. In this case...... It's better to agree.
