Lu Qiuyu gently pulled Cui Yanyan's hand: "His Royal Highness confessed today that since Li Xing was four years old, he would send his children to live on the island for two months every June. All of them." "Do you know the reason?" Cui Yanyan asked softly. road. "I guess, firstly, it's because Li Xing is the youngest, and the real reason may be that His Highness wants to teach in person." Lu Qiuyu's voice was very low, and she added at the end: "The Cui family of Qinghe accounts for 90% of the canned fish in Huating. As for the share, my Lu family wants 20%. "I want 40%," Cui Yanyan said directly. "Then it's settled." Lu Qiuyu took Cui Yanyan's hand, and the two seemed very close to each other and were chatting privately. No one could have imagined that with just these few words of conversation, the two families would start to talk about Qinghe Cui. A family business war unfolds. The Lu family and the Boling Cui family have a close relationship. When they have common interests, the two women will also work closely together. Entering Zhuangzi, it is still the same as before, there is no difference. However, forty miles south of Chang'an City, we suddenly arrived at this small island in the South China Sea. Is this a miracle? There are various legends about Chang'an City, but no one knows what the real image is? Even King Qin¡¯s seven concubines don¡¯t know. But the Qin princesses believed that Li Lanshan and Wu Zhao must know. Entering Zhuangzi, Li Yuanxing was sitting under the pavilion. Qiuxiang and Yuanchun were waiting on him, reading various messages sent from Chang'an City. After bowing, Cui Yanyan sat next to Li Yuanxing and said, "Your Highness, before I come back. They have sent troops. Counting that I have been on the road for more than a month and almost two months, I have covered an area of ??at least three thousand miles. "It's easy to occupy land, but hard to occupy people's hearts," Li Yuanxing replied calmly. Cui Yanyan poured a cup of tea for Li Yuanxing and held it in front of Li Yuanxing with both hands. Li Yuanxing took the tea and asked, "Has Mo'er gone back to the house to rest?" "Of course he can't just come over without His Highness' summons." Cui Yanyan was not talking nonsense. This was a rule set by the Ministry of Rites. As the King of Qin, Li Yuanxing was the first king of the Tang Dynasty, and the rules in his mansion were almost the same as those in the imperial palace. There is nothing wrong with that. Without passing it on, even a biological son cannot come over casually. Of course, this is just a rule. Children can run away casually and that's it after they come over. It¡¯s just that Cui Yanyan herself was a woman who received a strict aristocratic education since she was a child, and everything was done according to the rules. Li Yuanxing put down his tea cup: "The canal on the Changying side employed two hundred thousand local slaves. One hundred thousand Nanyang slave workers, two hundred thousand Vietnamese slave workers, Japanese, Goguryeo, and Baekje people, almost seven or eight people in total. There are 100,000 people. It is expected that in the spring of next year, 2,000-ton boats will be able to enter the canal. "That's a good thing. There is no need to go around that long way in the Americas." Cui Yanyan replied softly. "While the ship that's sending you to you hasn't left yet, send someone to give it a shout. It seems that each family will have to draw up regulations to expand their fiefdoms, and the imperial brother seems to have this intention as well. But how to expand and how to manage it will always have to be done. There is a rule. Tianying Pavilion will definitely discuss it, but the title will be decided by the emperor. "Cui Yanyan is no longer the little girl she was five years ago. Such a big thing. She was surprised, but she didn't jump up. After all, she was still a girl in her early twenties. After giving a few explanations to her maid, the maid Ling Ye quickly ran outside the village. Watching Ling Ye run out, Li Yuanxing motioned to Yuan Chun and Qiuxiang to retreat as well. When there were only Li Yuanxing and Cui Yanyan in the pavilion, Li Yuanxing said: "Yanyan, you are too impatient. I know you want the fiefdom to develop better. But have you ever thought about it? How many people are not there now? Where are you? Let¡¯s talk about the nearby ones. How do you think those companies across the sea will react? "Li Yuanxing is talking about the territory of Spain and Portugal. Cui Yanyan bit her lip and said nothing, but she already understood what Li Yuanxing meant. "Moreover, you are developing too fast. When the Byzantine Empire was alerted, the Tang Dynasty had not yet made any development in other people's fiefdoms. Once the time comes when water and fire are incompatible, your Cui family is the largest in the storm. That tree! "The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them!" Cui Yanyan is also well-educated. How could she not know this truth? "Your Highness, Byzantium has nothing to fear!" Cui Yanyan said in her heart. She had battleships and a strong army in her hands, how could she be afraid. Li Yuanxing had a different idea: "Yanyan, remember my words, even a little mouse will cause you harm. A little mouse will bite your clothes and eat the food in your granary. Think about it, if you I was about to go out, I had already changed my clothes, and suddenly?What will happen if there is a hole in the clothes that was bitten by a mouse? " "then what do I do? "Cui Yanyan is not going to beat around the bush. "Go and talk to Li Changying and ask him to do everything possible to speed up the canal, and then take him and the Lu family to establish trade relations with the Byzantine Empire merchants. The nobles behind the Byzantine merchants must earn money. As the benefits increase, other companies will also accelerate the development of the fiefdom. Cui Yanyan understood, it was just to bring a group of people together to share the pressure. At least the money earned by the Byzantine Empire, gold is still gold after all. When the Byzantine Empire was defeated, the gold still belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Finally, Li Yuanxing came again. One sentence: "When trading profits reach a whole new level. The Panama Canal has become a key point, with river crossing fees, port discharges, etc. Or many people will think that they are controlled by the Li family in Longxi. When the time comes, whether you and Changying will quarrel, fight, or something else, I believe your family will have an idea. "Cui Yanyan was stunned. Someone once said in Chang'an that the Spring and Autumn Period of the Tang Dynasty would come again. No one dared to say this at the time, and Cui Yanyan heard it by chance. Isn't this the case now? ? She and Li Changying cooperate because of their interests, and then they oppose each other because of their interests. They may even join forces with multiple forces to ask the Longxi Li family to come up with a fair and equitable canal use plan. They can pay, but everyone must agree to the rules. "Yanyan, Moore will be sent to the island next June. I won't see him today. "Li Yuanxing's tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard. What else Cui Yanyan wanted to say, Qiuxiang had already returned, and Cui Yanyan suppressed the words in her heart. "Your Highness, the battle report has just been sorted out, about the battle report on Buliandian Island and the surrounding areas. Island battle report. " "Talk about it! "Li Yuanxing became interested. Cui Yanyan was also interested in listening, because Buledian Island is considered her neighbor. When dealing with the Byzantine Empire in the future, Li Chengqian will definitely be one of the main forces. "The first battle was not started by King Chengqianying, but by King Chengqianying. It¡¯s Princess Liyuan. " "continue! "Li Yuanxing put a slight force on his back and sat up straight. "Princess Liyuan's family has borrowed two soldiers, one is the Khitan prince, and the other is the Tuli Khan. Then the troops were divided into two groups, one by sea and the other by land. After the Western Turks conquered several tribes, they then headed west. Although they don't know the specific process, they conquered a very powerful nation. Their cavalry combat power is better than the elite of Tuli Khan! " Li Yuanxing came up with a word in his mind. "Cossack cavalry! " "Yes, they call themselves Cossacks. Later, most of the whole family followed the Li family to the northwest and arrived at a place that His Highness named Riga Port. Because Riga and the Li family's names have the same pronunciation, a port was built there. Li Fen's fiefdom can be seen across the sea. . " Qiuxiang read the battle report. Li Yuanxing nodded and calculated the time. One year was really hard work. The cost must be huge. But to conquer the Cossack cavalry, this deal is worth it. " Qiuxiang continued to read: "The Li family The fleet was scheduled to dock in Morocco. After adding supplies, it was natural to visit the fiefdom. Then after gathering the cavalry force, they actually transported three thousand cavalry to Breton Island. Three thousand cavalry, one thousand from each of the three tribes. Together with the cooperation of the infantry, they captured three cities in one day. After that, the war started in Bristol on the west of the island. " Not surprisingly, Li Yuanxing has already thought of what the deal between the Li family and the Cossacks is. It's nothing more than a full set of equipment on horseback, plus food and wealth. " In this era, the Cossack cavalry were still nomadic, and their numbers were small. Not too much. The Li family has been doing business in the Western Regions for many years, so they naturally have some skills. ¡°Your Highness, there is one more thing. " "speak! " "There are now more than ten feudal lords offering high prices to hire the cavalry from Princess Liyuan. Princess Liyuan now owns 100,000 war horses alone. How it was obtained, the Imperial Security Department did not deliberately investigate. According to General Qin, this is a private matter for each family. As long as the Imperial Army Horse Farm is not used, it does not matter even if there are millions of horses. " Li Yuanxing nodded. This is what he thought. "Your Highness, the number of stallions in America has exceeded 4,000. It is estimated that within five years, the number of American war horses will reach more than 100,000. "When Qiuxiang reported, her little face was also full of excitement. After all, the Tang Dynasty had won. The news that surprised Li Yuanxing the most today was that the Western Turks were pacified and the entire clan was attached to them.Tang. The Tang Dynasty sent a garrison governor. A small half of the Western Turkic nobles moved to the Central Plains, and a smaller half entered Lanzhou City. Less than 30% remained in the original land of the Western Turks. The war started, and Li Yuanxing still didn't have too many expressions, neither excited nor nervous. Power, conquest, etc This is not what Li Yuanxing is pursuing. A wild dog with food in its mouth meets a tiger. The wild dog is always worried that the food in its mouth will be snatched away. Unfortunately, the tiger didn't care about that kind of food at all. Li Yuanxing doesn¡¯t want to comment on what the family¡¯s vision is? If you were to look at yourself in the past, you wouldn¡¯t be any better than the aristocratic family, but people will make progress. Li Yuanxing continued to listen to information from Chang'an, Nanyang, America, and Europe, just to understand, and only to understand.
