Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 577

Finally got the hang of it, stop yelling and killing all day long, if people don’t trade with you, it’s not too late for you to fight them again, besides, at this stage, there is no way to send troops overseas on a large scale.

Su Chengchang heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Of course, His Majesty still wants to build ships and build cannons. After all, there must be some people who don't want to pay taxes, and once the maritime trade rises, there will inevitably be pirates who rob merchant ships."

This has reached Li Shimin's heart. It is necessary for the Jianshui division to set up cannons. Those aristocratic families definitely don't want to pay taxes, so they set up cannons to bombard them!

And pirates?Anyone else dare to grab it?Are you looking for excitement?

However, the navy has been built, so you can't always play in the water at the beach, right?

Li Shimin asked: "There are really so many silver mines in the country of Wa? The country of Wa is not far from the Tang Dynasty, right? Didn't the bearded man go to the country of Wa so easily?"

Still don't give up!But how many people are there in your navy?

Su Cheng asked: "Your Majesty, has the dream come true?"

dream?

Conquer Goguryeo!

This sentence was like a burst of cold water poured on Li Shimin's head. Li Shimin couldn't help feeling resentful when he heard it. He hadn't even defeated Goguryeo, which was close at hand, and he was still envious of the country of Wa, which was far away overseas.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Shimin still thinks that Su Cheng's idea is sound, so let's set up a municipal bureau to collect taxes!

Su Cheng pondered: "However, Jianshui division is also very necessary. It is more convenient to go to Goguryeo by sea than by land."

Li Shimin's words were like enlightenment to Li Shimin's ears, and he suddenly said: "Yes! Yes! You are so right! The navy must be built!"

You can transport food and grass with water divisions, and you can contain the troops of Goguryeo with water divisions!

Su Cheng smiled and said: "There are also white staggered flowers. Goguryeo is too cold. If there are white staggered flowers, then there is no need to be afraid of the cold winter."

The more Li Shimin heard it, the more excited he became. One of the major difficulties in the expedition to Goguryeo was that it was too cold in winter, and it was too difficult to transport food and grass.

Thinking about it now, it seems that most of the problems were easily solved by Su Cheng, and Su Cheng also created a sharp weapon to attack the city.

Li Shimin suddenly felt that even if he sent troops to Goguryeo now, he had a great chance of winning!

No, you still have to be steady, or you will be sprayed by the officials in the court.

Even so, Li Shimin's heart was still agitated. After defeating Goguryeo, he would manage the Western Regions and open up overseas at the same time. He was really happy.

"There is a long way to go!" Li Shimin said leisurely.

However, Su Cheng disdains Li Shimin's words, you have a fart, and there is a long way to go. As a time traveler, I feel that there is a long way to go.

After his heart surged for a while, Li Shimin's eyes were on the dozens of carts of spices again, and he coughed dryly: "Su Cheng, this woman just likes these fragrant things, even the queen is no exception."

Su Cheng already knew Li Shimin very well, and he was just greedy for spices.

Isn't it just a few cars of firewood?Su Cheng said with a smile: "Since the empress likes it, let's take a few cars back!"

Li Shimin listened to the irony in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, you are filial!"

"Let's pull four carts first!" Li Shimin immediately beckoned the guards to drive.

Empress Changsun and Princess Changle were talking arm in arm, and then she looked up and saw the guards pulling the carriage. Although she had a premonition, she still couldn't help blushing.

What made her blush even more was that the guards pulled four carriages, which was too much!

"Your Majesty, is it too much? There are still a lot of spices in the palace." Empress Changsun asked with a blushing face.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "There are still many, let's pull four carriages first!"

Pull four carriages first?Empress Changsun's face was completely red, why didn't she realize that the emperor had such a thick skin!

Princess Changle said with a smile: "My queen, there are many nobles in the palace, and there are also places where spices are used. Besides, there are spice islands overseas. Spices will be worthless in two years."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Hey, it's just firewood."

Princess Changle laughed and said, "Queen, Mr. Lang also said that spices can be made into perfume. Let's experiment and see if it can be made into perfume."

In fact, Su Cheng originally planned to send a few cars to the palace. After all, she is the mother-in-law, and she should be filial to those who should be filial.

Six cars were missing in a blink of an eye, and Princess Changle suddenly felt a little empty again, pouted: "Mr. Lang, there are only 36 cars left!"

What do you mean there are only 36 cars left? 36 cars less?Su Cheng said with a smile: "Don't talk about 36 cars, even three cars are enough for you for several years! Let's share another share tomorrow. A bag of spices will be given to relatives and friends, oh, and a bag will also be given to Duke Ying's mansion."

Wu Jue next to him said repeatedly: "Why give it to Wu Yuanqing? Don't give it to him! Keep the smoked dog and don't give it to him!"

Princess Changle smiled and said, "It's not for Wu Yuanqing, it's for the old lady."

After hearing this, Wu Jue opened her mouth and didn't say anything. In fact, she knew in her heart that these spices were given to Duke Ying's mansion and ended up in the hands of her mother and sister.

It's better for her to send it to her mother and sister privately, but she also knows that it will make her mother and sister live better.

If it was before, she would not have given it to Duke Ying, but now her attitude has softened, because her heart has gradually been influenced by Su Cheng.

More importantly, Wu Yuanqing is really good to her mother and sister now. Whether it's because of Su Cheng's relationship or because of a change of heart, she wants her mother and sister to live better.

Wu Jue was very grateful in his heart, because a sack of spices was tens to hundreds of catties, and now the down-and-out Duke Ying's mansion was really reluctant to buy it, it was to save face for her.

Just when Princess Changle took the maid and mother-in-law back to collect the spices, the news that dozens of carts of spices had appeared in Chang'an had spread like wildfire.

This news also completely caused a sensation in Chang'an.

Because spices have been very precious since ancient times, and their price is more than gold.

The reason why it is precious is because it is rare.

Who has seen dozens of carts of spices?Don't say you've seen it, you haven't heard it.

So when they heard that Ankang County Lord came back with dozens of carts of spices, the people in Chang'an were immediately stunned.

incredible.

There was a lot of discussion.

Some people believe.

Some people don't believe it.

Unbelievers are spitting about the preciousness of spices.

The believers tirelessly counted the miracles of Duke Ankang.

The least convinced are the merchants in Dongshi, with dozens of carts of spices?What about trouble?

They have been in the spice business for so many years and have never seen dozens of carts of spices!

Ankang County Duke brought back dozens of carts of spices at once?

Do you think spices are Chinese cabbage on the side of the road?

Passing back and passing on, it can't be too outrageous, right?

A few carts of spice pours are still possible!

But even a few carts of spices is not a small fortune!

Even if the Ankang County Government can use it, how many carts of spices will have to be used for decades, right?
