Not long after entering the house, the old butler prepared a large table of delicious wine and food.
His Majesty Li Er suppressed the thought of beating up Su Chen and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me about your plan. Who are you going to trick this time?"
Su Chen said slowly while picking up vegetables: "Old Li, how much do you know about the Japanese country?"
"Japanese country?"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then thought of some information related to it.
He remembered, isn't this a small island country?
If one of his own had not been there by accident, he might not have known that there was such a country in the world.
In fact, it is normal for His Majesty Li Er to have such thoughts now.
Although during the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country became a serious problem on China's frontier.
But during this period, the Japanese country was indeed not even a rival to the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Er returned to the west, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty gathered a large number of troops from the Tang Dynasty and sent troops to the Korean Peninsula to attack Baekje.
Baekje didn't take it seriously, because there was still the big brother Goguryeo in the north who was protecting him, and he still went his own way.
As a result, the Tang army occupied Baekje in just two days...
At this time, the Japanese country had just ended its civil war and its national strength had increased, so many Baekje generals came to the Japanese country for help.
Perhaps due to expansion, the Japanese country actually rejected their request for help and directly sent an army of 60,000 to invade southern Baekje.
After Emperor Gaozong heard about this, he was furious!
The Tang Dynasty had passed through the Zhenguan era and was in its most prosperous period.
And Japan, a small country that I have never even heard of, dares to get involved in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?!
In a rage, Tang Gaozong only sent 10,000 troops to kill the Japanese country!
The key is that according to historical records, Datang seems to have suffered no losses in this battle...
From then on, the Japanese nation bowed their heads to the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to make any mistakes again.
Just imagine, after the Japanese kingdom reached its peak, it could not defeat the Tang Dynasty's 10,000-strong army despite the entire country's efforts.
But now, the Japanese country is still in political turmoil, and they still fight with wooden weapons...
How could such a weak country fall into the eyes of His Majesty Li Er?
Therefore, even His Majesty Li Er did not know much about the Japanese country.
"Is the Japanese country you are talking about the small country on the southern island of Baekje?"
His Majesty Li Er continued: "I seem to have heard of this country, but I don't know much about it."
Su Chen nodded and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. They probably can't defeat even one tribe of the Western Turks in the whole country."
"but……"
Su Chen changed the subject, "This country has huge wealth!"
"How do you say this?" Changsun Wuji asked doubtfully.
He knew a little more about the Japanese country than His Majesty Li Er.
How could that country have huge wealth if it was so poor that it couldn't even afford food?
Su Chen said mysteriously: "Lao Li, Lao Sun, I am just the two of you, please don't tell anyone else!"
"The underground of the Japanese country is full of gold mines!"
Wen Yan, His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji were both stunned.
Are there gold mines underground?
How rich is that?
But...how can such a weak country really be so wealthy?
"are you sure?"
Changsun Wuji asked suspiciously: "I remember that that place was quite backward. If there was a lot of gold, they wouldn't be so poor."
"Why are you lying to me!"
Su Chen said seriously, "They do have gold, but they don't know how to dig it."
"That place has stupid people and a lot of money. That's why I want to build a private army."
"At that time, we directly captured a city and robbed their largest mine!"
"What about Lao Li, do you want to do it or not?"
After hearing Su Chen's plan, His Majesty Li Er suddenly became serious.
Based on his understanding of Su Chen, if this boy actually prepared such a big battle, it was definitely not without purpose!
Regarding Su Chen's words, I would rather believe it than not!
This is absolutely a truth!
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er quickly calculated in his mind how to obtain the greatest benefit for himself.
With a flash of inspiration, His Majesty Li Er came up with a brilliant plan!
If this kid hadn't conquered Japan and returned to the Tang Dynasty, then as long as he diverted his attention and sent an army of 10,000 over while he wasn't paying attention, and bulldozed all their imperial cities, the entire gold mine of Japan would be gone.
Does it all belong to him, Li Er?!
His Majesty Li Er was furious and said calmly: "I think this is okay!"
"I can handle the private army of 600 people. I will leave the manpower to you to command. We will split the money after that!"
After hearing His Majesty's words, Changsun Wuji immediately became confused.
Why did Your Majesty get involved in Su Chen's nonsense?
Just as he was about to ask the doubts in his heart, he was choked back by a look from His Majesty Li Er.
After hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, Su Chen raised his eyebrows, then patted his shoulder affectionately and said, "Old Li, if that's the case... that would be great!"
"Besides, we don't need to split the money. As long as we dig down the gold mine, the money becomes a number. The mine is so big that it won't be finished even if we dig it for decades!"
"After it's done, you can send out a team and we can dig as much as we want together. What do you think?"
"Can."
His Majesty Li Er nodded without changing his expression and said, "When do you want those men? I will find them later and send them to you quietly."
"As soon as possible!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "In the past few days, I have made arrangements for the dam, and then I started to work on it."
"Strive to defeat Japan within a month."
"But if we go to Japan, we need to prepare ships."
Li Er nodded, and then asked pretending to be concerned: "You don't need to worry about the ship. Can I help you find it?"
"Then there's no need."
Su Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm going to make it myself!"
"Datang's current ships are too small and not strong enough. We have to haul a lot of things this time, so we need to get a big ship!"
Build a big ship?
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was quite surprised.
This guy can even build a ship?
There really isn’t anything he doesn’t understand!
You know, the ocean-going ships in Yangzhou at this time were twenty feet long, could carry six to seven hundred people, and could bear a load of about two thousand stones.
Isn't this enough for him?
"I can help you get a ship carrying two thousand stones. Isn't that enough?" His Majesty Li Er asked tentatively.
"not enough!"
Su Chen shook his head and said: "No matter what, it has to be fifty feet long and carry a load of more than eight thousand stones!"
Fifty feet long, carrying more than eight thousand stones!
