Chapter 503: To expand territory, not the northwest

Zhang Xiaobao did not answer Wang Juan's words, but took out the letter to watch.

The characters are written in the Tang Dynasty, not in the Japanese. If they are used, Zhang Xiaobao really can't understand them. Although he knows more languages, he can really write less. Now sometimes Japanese people can't even hear them clearly when they speak quickly.

Wang Juan is a little better than him, but he still can't write the current Japanese characters. Moreover, it's difficult for people outside the Tang Dynasty to speak. This is the foundation of the two of them. Together, they can include half of the language of the world at that time, and the official language. If you want to have an ordinary person, you will have to be fooled when you come.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobao reading the letter, Wang Juan also came up and looked at it one by one. After reading it, he said, "It's nothing. It's just that he can manage the officials of the Ministry of Works and Rites and find a way to rent our steam engine ships and gunboats. It's normal."

"It's normal, it's not normal. Don't he know the benefits of those two types of ships? Why should he emphasize it again? And it's the message sent to him by someone else. What does this mean? Your superior told you twice about one thing at the same time, and you don't have to think about it carefully?"

Zhang Xiaobao took the letter back and looked at the direction of Junichiro Takeshita leaving. After all, he did not chase him and returned the letter to others.

Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to continue shopping, and said as she walked: "What else can it be? Pay attention to it. I want to secretly learn the technology and then develop slowly. When I have the strength, I will attack us again. It is normal. A nation that does not know how to learn has long disappeared. Such a small place in Japan has not been colonized, which is admirable."

After listening to Wang Juan's words, Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and nodded, "Indeed, I admire it very much, but admiration does not mean that I will not deal with it. They can really tolerate it. Just like now, in order to survive, you can either do not have dignity or personality, and feel like a wolf.

Oh, when I talk about Japan, I think of Taiwan. I don’t know if the natural scenery there is the same as ours at that time, such as Sun Moon Lake and Yushan Cloud, which happened to be developed together, and then let the people of the Tang Dynasty go over there, and the resources there are also good, especially aquatic resources."

"Yes, I haven't been there for a long time, really want to go? Then I have to bring more gifts to let the local leader, the latter is the chief, and then slowly teach them the words."

Wang Juan also wanted to see what Taiwan looks like now. She heard that some people went there to trade, but they actually exchanged things and took a lot of advantages. Whoever made the people in that place not have the skills to do it? If you send a porcelain jar or something, you can get a lot of pearls or delicacies from the local area.

The locals have a hard life, of course, this is the case in the eyes of outsiders. Perhaps the locals think it is good. People who have never seen a plane will never envy those who have traveled thousands of miles by plane.

The two of them walked and saw a shop selling clothes next to them. They walked in along the way. There were very few clothes on them, most of them were cloth. If others wanted to sell them, they would make them in person.

Zhang Xiaobao absent-mindedly reached out and pinched the corner of a piece of cloth, turned his head and said to Wang Juan: "It's good to open a garment store there, and the locals should like it, especially the canvas, which is durable and strong. They don't wear hemp or have strong leaves in local areas, and then they can make money."

Wang Juan waved his hand to the guy who was about to come over to say hello, signaling that he would not care. Then he figured out Zhang Xiaobao's words and said, "Do you want to exchange canvas for local things? There are fewer metal mines there. You don't want to cut down all the trees, right? Otherwise, what would you change? Whose money will you make?"

"What trees are cut down? I plan to keep the original ecology there in the future, besides building a few ports there and buildings around the port. Who said that if you give them things, you have to exchange materials with them? It can also be labor.

Just like in the future ethnic minority areas, there will be special programs to entertain others, then make money and become professional, and locals can also let those who travel to experience another ethnic custom, eat some local things, enjoy the local scenery, and if conditions permit, let locals accompany them to hunt."

Zhang Xiaobao stared at a certain place, but in fact he didn't see what the place was. He was just distracted. He explained his imagination to Wang Juan, raised his other hand and gently lit his face.

Wang Juan was moved by Zhang Xiaobao's words and was about to support her. Suddenly, she remembered Zhang Xiaobao's stealing technique before, which instantly coincided with the image of Zhang Xiaobao and the international fraudster.

"Husband~~!" Wang Juan's voice changed, soft and sweet, which made Zhang Xiaobao shudder when he heard it. His distracted eyes regained the focus, and he looked at Wang Juan in surprise.

"Husband, tell me, did you just cheat the official like this? Drawing a big cake, it's the same as it is." Wang Juan asked with his mouth pressed against Zhang Xiaobao's ear.

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaobao hid to the side and whispered: "Are you accusing me? I don't admit that you have no evidence now."

"Tsk, you can use evidence to arrest you? It's not easy to get evidence. Arrest first. Once you use several drugs, you will naturally say everything. Do you have to tell Li Longji what you say to me?"

Wang Juan leaned against Zhang Xiaobao again and threatened.

"How did you know I'm going to find Li Longji?" Zhang Xiaobao was a little scared. It was not that comfortable to be understood by others.

"I am your wife. You were distracted and flicked your face just now. Who are you planning to do? You can't just calculate the original residents in Taiwan now, right? They are not worthy of your efforts, so naturally they are Li Longji. What do you want to exchange for with him?"

Wang Juan was almost pushing Zhang Xiaobao to the wall, but he still refused to let go.

"Li Longji is worthy of me like this? Then you really underestimate me. I just thought about the fact that Taiwan has been colonized by many countries. Every time I colonize, it is a way to open up the road by force. I wonder, are we here to do it?"

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan's pretty face and wanted to kiss her hard, but the guy was staring at her inadvertently with a vigilant look. Zhang Xiaobao was embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned she was.

"You want to colonize Taiwan in a civilized way?"

"What do I do to colonize it? It's so close. There will naturally be people going there at that time. I can push it. When I make the plan progress, you will know. Go, enter the palace and chat with Li Longji."

Zhang Xiaobao said, and took Wang Juan's hand and walked out. When he passed by the guy, he said to the guy, "Do you have pearl yarn?"

"No, if you can't get into this store, you might as well look at the yarn in Suzhou." The guy shook his head and replied.

"Hey, I won't look at it anymore. I originally wanted to buy some pearl gauze. Let's go and go to the next house to see it." Zhang Xiaobao threw down his words regretfully and walked out with Wang Juan.

The guy behind him showed a look of contempt and muttered: "If you don't have money, say you don't have money, and you can buy it if you have pearl gauze? You have to save face."

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found Li Longji in Xingqing Palace, Li Longji was taking Concubine Wu Hui and Queen Wang to look at the map, which to be precise, included sand tables from all parts of the country.

He pointed and looked like he was in control of the country. Queen Wang and the other two looked admiring and echoed from time to time, which made Li Longji even more excited.

Perhaps it was deliberately telling Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who had just arrived. Li Longji did not turn around and look at the two of them, but pointed to the sand table and told Concubine Wu Hui and Queen Wang.

"Here, Luoshecheng is already the territory of my Tang Dynasty, connected to the Longyou Road above, and the Longyou Road is connected to the former Turkic places. In addition, here, the northern part of Hebei Road and a piece of island in the sea, are now all belonging to the Tang Dynasty. However, if we continue to go west and north, we will be blocked from my Tang Dynasty. When will we be unified?"

Li Longji's big hand drew out the territory of the Tang Dynasty. He said that there was no place where the Tang Dynasty was, his waist was straight, and he said that he had not yet entered the territory, and there was regret between his eyebrows.

Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui were not stupid. They knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were coming. What the emperor just mentioned was the customs and customs of various places. The topic changed and it turned into a territory. It was obviously for Zhang Xiaobao and the others to listen to it.

Queen Wang said first, "If your Majesty wants to expand the territory, you have to wait for the place you join to join to be stable. The Longyou Road is different from the former Tubo Turks. The Jiedushi inside is not very smooth in the management of the local people and has the power to do so. Should we talk about it safely?"

Wu Huifei said another sentence, "What my sister said is right, but isn't Longyou Dao given the two families of Zhang and Wang? Especially that lake, I think it won't take too long to reassure Your Majesty. Because of this, it is time to take the opportunity to continue fighting west and north. One round of motivation will decline again, and three times will be exhausted."

When Zhang Xiaobao saw this posture, he pulled Wang Juan up and walked outside. It was not easy to fight either on the west or the north. What kind of climate is suitable for adaptation?

"Xiaobao, Juanjuan, when did you two arrive? Why don't I know? Where are you going?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't walk out for five steps, and Li Longji's voice came.

Zhang Xiaobao then stopped, turned his head, and said to Li Longji: "I just heard what Your Majesty is thinking about, and I am willing to share your worries. I will prepare food and grass, fight the vast snow-capped mountains, set foot on the ice, and publicize Your Majesty's holy grace to the locals. Your Majesty can issue an edict to recruit men aged fifteen to fifty in the Tang Dynasty and go into an army to fight. I estimate that two-thirds of my death can bring His Majesty to fulfill his long-cherished wish."

"Uh! I don't have to do this. I don't have to worry. It's better to defend first. I wonder what Xiaobao and you guys are coming here?"

When Li Longji heard that so many people were about to die, he immediately changed his words.

"It's nothing big. I want to take down a few islands in the southeast. I don't want His Majesty's ambition to be on it, so I'd better think about the northwest."

Zhang Xiaobao walked to the sand table, slashed on the sand table, and said.
