Qi Wang Li Ke was immediately poked into laughter by his father's sudden coquettish words.

Then Zhao Kun was not much better, holding his belly with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, coughing like he had acute tuberculosis.

The flattering smile on Cheng Chubi's face froze instantly. "Father-in-law, what, can our son-in-law, Weng, talk properly..."

"Hahaha, the old man was just teasing you. Why, just now you were the kid who proudly showed that he likes to hug a grass and hit a rabbit by the way."

"You can say it yourself, but the old man can't praise you?"

Looking at this old man who doesn't talk about martial arts, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but think of a famous sentence that has gone down through the ages: It is better not to see each other. Seeing trouble, it is better to miss it.

Fortunately, as a patient with mild social bullying, Cheng Sanlang quickly adjusted his mentality when facing his father-in-law.

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law just has an important matter, and I need to report it to my father-in-law in advance, so that my father-in-law can have a better idea."

"Well, let's talk about it." Li Shimin stroked his long beard and walked slowly. Behind him, Li Ke, with the same type of beer belly, was one body behind, shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Kun.

"It's like this. Since my son-in-law pacified the Wa country, the master of the eleven countries in the Fusang Islands has repeatedly entangled the son-in-law, saying that the land of the Wa country has been leveled today, and its country and society have been destroyed. That piece of land is just right. There is no master."

"So they hope that my Tang Dynasty can establish a state on Fusang Island to control the countries of Fusang Island."

"..." Hearing this, Li Shimin gave Cheng Sanlang a squinting look, but he didn't express anything, but said it playfully.

"Isn't it your own idea, son-in-law?"

"Of course my son-in-law also has such thoughts, but they can bring it up, which happens to coincide with what my son-in-law has in mind."

"My father-in-law and my son-in-law think that the Fusang Islands are very important to my Tang Dynasty at present, not only because they can provide my Tang Dynasty with gold and silver worth more than three million guan..."

"Wait... how much do you say?" Li Shimin immediately raised his arms, and then looked straight at Cheng Sanlang.

Cheng Chubi saw His Majesty's pair of tricks also turned into a golden color under the sun, he was secretly happy in his heart, but continued to be calm and authentic on the surface.

"Three million coins worth of gold and silver, well, this still doesn't include the gold and silver output from Huangniao Island."

Li Shimin reached out and touched his heart subconsciously, feeling that his old heart was bumping like a deer just now.

The Yellow Bird Island can provide Datang with one hundred thousand taels of gold and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

But now, Cheng Sanlang told himself that this Japanese Island, no, this Fusang Island, can still provide Datang with so much gold and silver.

This made Li Shimin couldn't help but spit out a sentence. "Then Fusang Island, isn't it an island made of gold and silver?"

Cheng Chubi carefully observed the old man's micro-expression, and continued to state.

"My father-in-law and my son-in-law don't know either. Anyway, the reason why the Wa country fought against other countries repeatedly is because it didn't have the idea of ​​taking all the wealth of Fusang Island into its hands."

"So, Xiaomei feels that since the countries on Fusang Island do not trust each other, they still trust me, Datang, the kingdom of heaven."

"What's more, although the land of the Wa Kingdom is not vast, it is also a fertile basin, which is suitable for my Tang Dynasty to manage."

"Furthermore, with the possession of it, our Tang Dynasty can also use the Jinsha Prefecture to hold Tubo, Houzang, and Xiangxiong countries as hostages in the southwestern plateau, so that our Tang Dynasty can have a stable surrounding environment."

"Furthermore, Wa Island is not far from the land of Liaodong. It can be connected to the Ryukyu Islands at the bottom and the countries of the peninsula at the top. If my Tang Dynasty can gain a firm foothold here."

"In this way, this large and vast sea area will become the inland sea of ​​my Great Tang."

Cheng Chubi was already squatting on the ground at this moment, and with a small stick, he marked the coast of Datang on the ground, as well as the locations of the Korean Peninsula, Wa Island, and many large and small islands in the Ryukyu Islands.

While poking with the stick, he described in detail the brighter prospects of Datang in the future.

And Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also had someone bring a small horse tie at this moment. The big horse sat in front of Cheng Sanlang with a golden sword, and his eyes focused on the map drawn by Cheng Sanlang, a line party.

According to Cheng Sanlang, Datang has acquired Tamna Island now. Tamna Island is in a dangerous location, but its products are not rich.

Since its area is really small, at most it is equivalent to a county in Datang, so it is more suitable as a relay station and supply station for Datang Shipping.

But Fusang Island is different, it can be said to be full of gold and silver. In the next hundreds of thousands of years, it will be able to continuously provide a large amount of precious metals to the powerful Datang, so as to create more wealth for the Great Tang. .

All in all, in Cheng Sanlang's view, winning the central part of Wajima is definitely a good thing for Datang, with all benefits and no harm.

#####

In the end, Li Shimin, who had already been moved by the gold and silver on the rich Japanese island, agreed to Cheng Sanlang's opinion, but he still had his own problems.

"My son-in-law, according to what you said, most of the gold and silver are in the hands of the countries on Fusang Island. Is this old man right?"

"What my father-in-law said is very true, and my son-in-law has also considered that my Tang Dynasty has a broad mind, and has always been fair and just in everything it does.

Therefore, my Tang Dynasty will definitely not send troops to loot the minerals of those Fusang countries, but we can use trade means to collect all the gold and silver in their hands to our Datang. "

To give the simplest example, Datang is now producing more and more white cloth, and now it has become one of the main overseas trade products of Hantang Commercial Bank.

There is also the same large amount of white sugar~lightnovelpub.net~ and silk and porcelain from Tang Dynasty.

"My father-in-law still remembers that the Champa rice was not fully planted because of concerns that the rice would hurt farmers..."

Hearing Cheng Sanlang's words, Li Shimin immediately reacted and asked in disbelief.

"That's right, do you want to sell food to them?"

"Of course, my father-in-law must not forget that my son-in-law has already secretly sent a lot of food to Goguryeo."

A treacherous smile appeared on Cheng Chubi's face.

"My son-in-law is not greedy, as many as two or three to three hundred thousand shi, and as little as a hundred thousand shi, go to Goguryeo every month."

"My son-in-law sells it to those Koguryo grain merchants at a price far lower than that of Goguryeo grain."

"They can obtain food at a low price, and they can also sell it at the past price. In this way, the demand for local food in Goguryeo will naturally be reduced..."
