The Great Food Country is located between the European continent and the China mainland.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Great Food Kingdom was unprecedentedly powerful, and its territory spanned the Western Regions of the European Kunlun Slave (Africa).

The Great Food Kingdom had contacts and wars with the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and each had its own victory or defeat.

Among them, Heng Luos was the hottest war hyped by later generations.

It ended in the defeat of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Although it was just an inconspicuous military friction, it did show that the country had the strength of the Great Shijiazhuang State and challenged the Tang Dynasty.

At present, the prosperous Tang Dynasty is no longer there.

But the Great Food Country is no longer the Great Food Country that used to be.

The Dashi had already fallen apart hundreds of years ago, and the orthodox Dashi had shrunk to the peninsula.

All of this is attributed to the complex ethnic groups in the Mesopotamia.

Political and ethnic division and centrifugation made this powerful empire sow the seeds of separatism at the beginning of its establishment.

Therefore, the current great food country is no longer the same as the past.

The religious and political and ethnic relations in the Mesopotamia are quite complicated, resulting in extreme chaos.

However, their shipbuilding and navigation technology are very developed and they are also willing to trade with foreign countries.

At least this era has not yet become conservative and is the most powerful political system in the Mesopotamia.

But Zhao Huan was not afraid of what had not been completed in the previous Tang Dynasty. He wanted to complete it.

What Zhao Gou said is afraid of causing war?

What a joke!

When did I ever fear war?

What's more, Arabs come from the sea line and travel thousands of miles, and as long as they have no brains, they will not fight a naval battle.

As for land battles, let alone.

The Seljuk people are afraid that they already know the existence of Yelu Dashi, and are racking their brains to kill Yelu Dashi.

Anyway, that Alibaba is dead.

The emperor said loudly: "Jiulongjiang is the granary in the south of the Song Dynasty, Japan is the gold and silver mine in the Song Dynasty. Dali planted tea for us, Nanyang transported fruits for us, the Song Dynasty warships guarded Lingyamen, and the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by us. The merchants of ceramics and silk used large-scale carriages to pull goods to the Gaochang Uighurs. The barbarians on the grassland were frightened by us. Our Song Dynasty was rich in all the world, and millions of soldiers guarded the four directions. The patriarchs and capable people were like crucian carriages crossing the river. A mere barbarian businessman dared to do evil in our Song Dynasty. Even if the great food country came with its power, I would kill him!"

"You guys, I will tell you a few bottom lines. Anyone who divides my territory and hurts my people will not be forgiven!"

The ministers stood up and gave a great tribute: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Yu Yunwen said: "Your Majesty, I think that this is the way to open the road of Yi. This rebellion was mostly foreigners, including those from the great celestial country and those from the Zhunian country. You can take the opportunity to send warships into the Zhunian country, raise the rebels and ask the king of the Zhunian country to conquer the Zhunian country, and conquer the Zhunian country, so as to threaten Luohu Kingdom (central part of Thailand)."

"From the "Tianxia Map" drawn by Your Majesty, capturing the Zhuyan can not only attack Tianzhu in the north, but also control Luohu in the east. The most important thing is that the Zhuyan can be used as an overseas outpost of the Song Dynasty, and any merchant ships in the Song Dynasty can stop here."

Zhao Huan looked at his young prime minister with a very appreciative look, and Yu Yunwen spoke in a fair manner.

To conquer the ocean channel, there must be countless outposts.

The Nanyang is now within the control of the Song Dynasty. It is undoubtedly the best choice to go westward through Lingya Gate, enter the vast Indian Ocean, and capture the southernmost end of the Indian subcontinent.

If such conquest of overseas was proposed in the past, the ministers in the Song Dynasty would never dare to think about it and would never agree.

Just like those officials of the Song Dynasty, they were also indifferent to the territory of the Western Regions.

The reason is that no matter how you settle the accounts, you will lose money.

Just say that during the Shenzong era, Xihe opened its borders, Wang Shao regained some territory in Longyou. According to the values ​​of later generations, he was definitely a great national hero.

But at that time, different voices appeared in the court, and some even wanted to give up the territory they had worked hard to get.

Why?

If you are not in your position, you will not do your own affairs.

If you look at the financial statements, military expenditures and jurisdiction expenditures, you will know what a huge expense.

For the Song Dynasty court, which had 500,000 official apes, it was a burden.

At least the ancients did not think it was Han, and there was not much psychological burden.

But the current situation has changed, and the production technology has improved. There are many royal trading companies in the Song Dynasty and folk trading companies in the Song Dynasty.

The purpose of exploring borders is to make more profits and open up new business channels.

This is an indisputable fact.

The merchant ships of the Song Dynasty were more traveling in the South Ocean, with one or two very weak routes leading to Zhunian and then transferred to Dashi.

The reason why it is weak is because it is too far away and there are too many unknown factors.

In the eyes of the ministers, Nanyang was already the limit of control of the Song Dynasty. At most, the merchandise and the food were simply to do some commerce and conquer it, which was not worth the loss.

But Zhao Huan didn't think so. He, a later generation, knew that there were many countries there. In the next few hundred years, he would earn huge amounts of money.

Zhao Huan said: "Absolute! Yu Qing, you can leave this matter to you!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zhao Gou on the side said: "Your Majesty, I think it's too early to capture Zhunian. In recent years, more trade transactions in Maritime have been in Southeast Asia, Japan and Goryeo. Zhunian has eaten Kunlun slaves, and there are very few people. Because these places are far from China, the language is too surprising, and it is not the best choice."

The Zhou Dynasty also said, "Your Majesty, no grass grows in the barbarian land, and it is useless to defeat it, and it is not advisable."

"There is no need to discuss this matter again. I will leave it to Gong Yu to handle it with full authority. All the ministers should fully support Gong Yu."

The ministers looked at each other, and Zhou Chao and others began to scold Yu Yunwen as a traitor in their hearts, and even encouraged the emperor to go to a place where birds do not shit.

It's okay if you fight the northwest and capture Gaochang. After all, since the Han Dynasty, the ancient Yi Dao has been extended, and predecessors have proved that they can make money.

Now I travel across the ocean to get a chariot. Who knows what is there?

outpost?

To put it nicely, do you know how difficult it is!

With the mentality of not meddling in other people's business and letting Yu Yunwen do his own life, the ministers no longer spoke much.

This is done well, and you, Yu Yunwen, will naturally settle for the top spot in the Political Affairs Hall, but if something goes wrong, hehe, just wait to go to Qiongzhou to drink sea water.

"Abide by the order!" the ministers said in unison.

Liu Yanzong came out and said, "Your Majesty, there is another matter, and it is also imminent."

"What's the matter?"

"I have also said just now that in recent years, some wealthy businessmen have emerged among the people. They have relied on a huge amount of money to raise many warriors privately. I believe that if the court does not punish them severely, it will inevitably lead to a disaster in the next few years."

Zhao Huansuo raised his sword eyebrows, which was indeed a pain in his heart.

This is a new force, and they grew rapidly under the New Deal.

After growing stronger, in order to become stronger, they began to develop their own strength.

Both Yidao and this incident were caused by the Guangzhou incident, which is an unavoidable problem.
