Li Yue whispered: "Father, my husband serves as the Minister of Rites, and now the Ministry of Rites is responsible for important diplomatic affairs of various countries. If there is no clear map, there will be obstacles in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites."
Li Shimin held his temples and looked at the map carefully, "That's true."
Seeing his wife speaking, Zhang Yang added: "I heard that Your Majesty has a library. If you can enter the library, you can learn more about these things. Of course, all this is for the sake of the country."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and sat upright, "I can let you and your wife enter the library in the palace, where the ashes have been stored for a long time."
Zhang Yang added: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will clean it up."
"Come to the palace tomorrow and ask the queen to give you the key."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Yang is also very particular about how he behaves and can bring tea at the right time.
"I also heard that you collected a batch of silver mines from the Japanese people?"
There is no airtight wall, but Li Shimin still found out about it.
"I was just making insinuations before, and my guess was uncertain at first. I didn't expect that they could really come up with so many silver cakes."
Li Shimin sneered: "You're just going to let them shake off a cart full of silver mines just by banging and banging?"
Zhang Yang looked calm and confident, "Is it possible that your Majesty doesn't believe it?"
"How can you believe this kind of thing? You can always take advantage of others' negligence. I'm used to it."
"Your Majesty, just get used to it."
He glanced at Zhang Yang with a slightly displeased expression. The kid's calm and contented look was really heart-breaking.
"Are there more silver mines in Japan?"
"They said there was more."
Li Shimin took a sip of tea with a solemn expression, as if he was sorting out his words.
"Actually, all these silver mines will be used for the operation of the Ministry of Rites. I told Your Majesty that the Ministry of Rites needs money for its operations, but I cannot afford it on my own. The Ministry of Rites is now a gold-swallowing beast and needs a lot of money."
"I won't steal your silver mine."
"I think your Majesty is here for the sake of the country, and I don't dare to waste even a moment."
Li Shimin frowned and thought: "The Central Plains is separated from the Japanese country by the sea, and there is also Goguryeo?"
"Starting from the Japanese state, we took the road to Goguryeo, and then passed through Liaodong from Goguryeo and entered the pass. It is said that the road was dangerous. The Japanese state used a hundred people, but only a few people were left after entering the pass and sending it to Chang'an City."
"Back then, Yang Guang sent troops to attack Goguryeo for the four counties in Liaodong, but the matter was ignored. Since you are in charge of the diplomatic relations between countries, what do you think about Goguryeo?"
"Your Majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "I was just thinking about it."
His Majesty and the Minister of Rites are sitting in the same direction.
Li Shimin sat on the chair, with many things hidden in his eyes.
Zhang Yang was sitting on the bench a little shorter, his eyes also hiding something.
Weng and son-in-law just sat like this. Li Tai watched from a distance and said to the warrior Yun: "It seems that the relationship between the father and brother-in-law is very good. They can sit together and talk for so long. If the prince is sitting next to his father, he will definitely sit next to him."
I can’t stay here for so long.”
It was quiet for a long time, and the little bear passed by Li Shimin without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
If Li Shimin wanted to stew this bear in his heart, he would have to think about how to persuade the emperor.
Before Li Shimin had any evil thoughts, Zhang Yang continued: "Your Majesty wants to capture Goguryeo, and using Goguryeo as a port, he can easily reach the Japanese country, thereby not only regaining the land of the four counties back then, but also taking advantage of it."
Capture more silver mines from Japan?"
Seeing that Li Shimin still didn't speak, Zhang Yang looked at the scenery in the distance and said, "Your Majesty's method is very good. I agree very much. Please give me some time so that I can prepare everything and let Xu Jingzong personally lead his troops to Goguryeo."
"Xu Jingzong? Can he lead troops?"
"Ahem..." Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "It's really difficult for him to lead the troops. I thought we didn't need to directly use the troops. We can send a letter first. Although Xu Jingzong is usually so honest, in fact he has a lot of calculations in his heart. He
If you get to Goguryeo, you will be like a tiger in peace..."
"No, it should be a wolf entering the sheepfold, and the chaos will be turned upside down. Your Majesty will send troops at that time to get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Shimin stood up slowly and said, "Sending troops to Goguryeo, you said so lightly."
Zhang Yang replied: "I have another plan. I send monks from the Central Plains to Goguryeo to tell them that they can live forever by chanting Buddha's name all day long. With their level of education, most of them will believe it. This can harm them spiritually and leave them without elite soldiers.
Strong general."
"What a cruel method."
"It is indeed a bit vicious, but I actually have another plan."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "You have a lot of tricks."
Zhang Yang explained: "Give all the Goguryeo people a dream of getting rich overnight, and they will never work hard again."
Li Shimin took a breath, "What else?"
Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands and said seriously, "No more."
"Why do I think you still have something in your stomach? You just don't want to pour it out. Why are you hiding it?"
"Your Majesty, I really am gone."
"Can you bear the charge of deceiving the emperor?"
"If I think about it later, is this considered bullying?"
"No oil or salt can enter."
Li Shimin made a conclusion.
Seeing that the emperor was planning to leave, Zhang Yang followed suit and asked, "Your Majesty, when will you give me my land?"
"I'm still asking the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Household Affairs to organize it. You can ask Tang Jian."
"I'm not familiar with Tang Jian."
"What does it have to do with me?"
After saying these words, Li Shimin left with a sullen face.
This is the emperor. He comes when he comes. No one can stop him from leaving, and no one can stop him from staying.
The map was a lie. What he really wanted was the minerals from various places. Li Yue walked over in small steps and asked, "What did you say to your father?"
Zhang Yang said with emotion: "We had a great chat, and our relationship with your father has improved a lot."
"My husband obviously left with a shameful face." Li Yue stamped her foot angrily, "My husband is teasing me again."
Drawing a map is just a guide, and it is also a cover-up. After collecting so many topographies, I can't tell the emperor that I know there are many copper and silver mines outside the pass waiting to be excavated.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is a lot of wealth in the world.
There is still a lot of wealth that is not known to anyone, and is quietly buried in the ground. Some wild places have not yet been fully civilized, and they have no idea how valuable the things they are guarding are.
Being able to enter the emperor's library is a rare good thing.
Throughout the dynasties, emperors collected books, and some of these books were considered valuable by the emperor themselves, such as priceless calligraphy and paintings and unique copies.
Or maybe there are some books that cannot be seen by outsiders. As books that the emperor should read, ordinary people are not allowed to have a look at them.
I don’t know if it’s really such a mystery.
"When my father and husband meet, they often break up on bad terms."
Hearing his wife's complaints, Zhang Yang whispered in her ear: "My teacher said before that there are actually several large silver mines in the world that have not yet been excavated."
"really."
"Um."
Li Yue's eyes lit up, "Where, where are you?"
Zhang Yang looked at the horizon, "It's far away. I can only think of some rough locations and areas. If you increase the pocket money you give me to one hundred dollars a day, I can tell you."
Li Yue picked up the account and hit Zhang Yang on the arm, "There is no money at home! We have to build Lishan Mountain, and it is not enough to build a new home. Where can we get so much money?"
It was still early in the morning, Zhang Yang glanced around and didn't know where the stupid bear was running wild.
The people in the village will take it back anyway.
No need to worry.
Lishan Mountain is very high and it is a bit difficult to climb up the mountain road.
We walked all the way from the foot of the mountain to Lishan Palace, and saw a stone tablet along the way.
Li Yue looked at the stone tablet and said: "This is the place where King You of Zhou used to play with the princes with beacon fire. I didn't expect it to still be there."
A little further on is the Lishan Palace.
As a palace, when I walked closer I realized that it was very rundown.
Li Yue looked at the dilapidated wall and said, "This place must have been deserted for many years."
Aunt Yang explained: "In fact, the palace often comes to clean it. Before the reward was given to the princess, there were still a few servants to look after it, but they have all left now."
Zhang Yang pushed open a door. The door was shaking, and a lot of dust fell when he pushed the door open.
When the mountain wind blows, the shadows of the pine forest sway on the ground, adding a bit of coldness to the place.
This is the outer courtyard, which looks like a place where servants live, and there are some shabby furniture.
Carefully walking inside, Li Yue smelled it carefully, "What does it smell like?"
Following the smell, they passed by two more houses. In a fairly ornate palace, the couple discovered a pool.
The pool was still emitting white smoke. Zhang Yang tested the water temperature and said, "It turns out to be a hot spring."
Li Yue nodded, "I have indeed heard of the hot springs in Lishan Mountain, but I have never seen them."
Looking along the water channel, we can see that the water channel of this hot spring is very long, shaped like a sewer, and extends all the way outside the courtyard wall.
"It seems that the water is diverted from the mountain road."
Li Yue found a machine expander and pushed the stone on top of the machine expander. The spring water also stopped pouring, and soon the entire pool of hot spring water drained away.
Being an emperor is indeed a matter of enjoyment, and a place for bathing in hot springs is arranged in the palace.
After walking around here, Li Yue didn't find anything valuable, and his interest in this place was reduced a lot.
Passing by this palace, we came to another palace. There was a huge furnace with a Bagua diagram hanging behind the furnace. The strange palace even had an alchemy furnace.
Li Yue observed carefully, "This stove should be worth a lot of money."
Aunt Yang explained: "Actually, it's not worth much money. It's a stove made of yellow mud."
As she spoke, Aunt Yang knocked on the furnace wall, and sand and soil fell swishing down from the surface.
Li Yue said with a long face, "There is nothing valuable here."
Passing by this palace, I came to another palace again. There were a lot of clothes here, and there were also a lot of silk clothes. They had been there for a year or two, accumulating ashes. When I pulled them lightly, the clothes were torn.
Leaving here again, Li Yue did not give up and walked from one palace to another.
Lishan Palace is a place full of legends, and it is also a place where many legends are spread.
Both King You of Zhou and Emperor Qin and Han Wu all visited this place and used it as a palace.
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty incorporated Lishan Mountain into Shanglin Garden. It was built several times and renovated in the Later Han Dynasty. It was not until the Sui Dynasty that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty overhauled the place again.
At present, the trees and buildings here complement each other, which are leftover from the original construction.
Li Yuan also came here to spend the winter many times in those days. Everything he sees now was recently built during the Takeru period.
Moreover, Li Yuan did not do any large-scale construction. Except for the Huaqing Palace, which seemed to be relatively complete, the rest of the place was in ruins.
This palace gives people a feeling of eternity.
Li Yue looked at a palace with the words Huaqing Palace written on the door plaque, "There must be something valuable in here."
Push the door and walk in.
Li Yue looked at the spacious courtyard. It was very clean, with only dust.
With the thought of picking up the leaks, Li Yue walked from one room to another, and finally sat down on the ground in compromise, scratching at the ground in frustration with a branch.
Aunt Yang took out the map and looked at it, "Your Highness, there are still many places that I have not been to."
The words sounded like comfort, and Li Yue also knew that there was nothing valuable to be found here.
Standing up again, Li Yue brushed off the dust on his clothes, went to the pool to wash his hands, and then his face.
A few strands of wet hair hung on her pretty face, "Auntie, if there is spare manpower in the village, all the houses here will be bulldozed and demolished."
"Are we really going to demolish them all?" Aunt Yang wanted to confirm that these buildings are very good, whether in style or decoration, which can only be enjoyed by the emperor later.
I thought it was because the princess couldn't find anything valuable here, so she said this.
Seeing the firm look in Li Yue's eyes, she also knew what kind of temper the princess was. As long as she decided to do something, she would stick to it, except when facing Zhang Yang.
Li Yue warned: "My husband has already designed most of it. Everything here will be rebuilt according to your vision. I want a completely new Lishan Palace."
"Here."
Zhang Yang observed a tree. The tree was not very old. It should be said that the trees in the Lishan Palace were not very old.
Looking at the still slender branches, Zhang Yang picked off a leaf and observed it carefully.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yang rubbed the leaves, tore them open and looked at them carefully, "This looks like an oak tree."
"oak?"
"It's a rare tree."
Li Yue nodded, "Then keep this tree. It's getting late. Husband, let's go home."
"Um."
It was already dusk when we walked down the mountain. Zhang Yang told us along the way, "We can pave this road with stone steps. If possible, I want to build a cable car at the foot of Lishan Mountain."
"What is a cable car?"
"We are sitting in a car, sliding down from a high place, heading all the way to another foothill, and we can also see the scenery of Lishan Mountain from the car."
Li Yue nodded, "It will definitely be beautiful. We should see it all year round."
"It's just that technical problems are difficult to overcome. If you give me extra pocket money, maybe it will make me more determined."
"Money raised again, money raised again." Li Yue chased after him with his little fist.
Walking down the mountain talking and laughing, the busy villagers also went home now.
