"So, my Tang Dynasty is indeed the richest and most powerful country in the world, and the center of the world!" Li Shimin laughed and walked into the hall with great strides.

Everyone quickly stood up to welcome the ceremony. Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled, "I am here in vain, so everyone doesn't have to be polite."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not wrong. The Tang Dynasty should be regarded as the richest and most powerful country today, but its territory may not be the vastest, and there are still countries that can compete with the Tang Dynasty."

After hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? There is still a country in this world with a vast territory than the Tang Dynasty?"

Su Cheng nodded with certainty and said, "Some! This world is so big that your Majesty imagines."

The bearded guest shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know that the Western Regions are very vast, and I don't understand the language, so I just passed by in a hurry and didn't understand the specific situation of the Western Regions."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "No matter what, Zhang Daxia's long voyage opened up a new trade route, which is a hero that can be remembered by history!"

The bearded guest shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty is a mistake. I am not interested in the business path, but just want to explore this world and explore the unknown."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I heard that many people from aristocratic families entered Chang'an with Zhang Daxia, which shows that they are very coveted by the new trade route."

The bearded guest said seriously: "This time the voyage has fulfilled one of his wishes. Thanks to Su Cheng's guidance, this time the voyage has made detailed records and will hand over all these to Su Cheng, which is also a thank you for him."

This decision can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone knows the value of these records, and it is too little to say that it is worth a thousand gold.

If the bearded guest said he wanted to sell these, it would definitely cause the snatch of major families and families. Unexpectedly, the bearded guest would give such a precious thing to Su Cheng.

However, although it was unexpected, it was reasonable. After all, this was a bearded guest.

Su Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just a verbal statement. The real great one is you, so all these wealth belong to you, and you are the hero!"

The bearded guest shook his head slowly and said, "There is no courage in this world. What is lacking in guidance. Without your guidance, it is impossible for someone to accomplish such a feat. Therefore, these records should belong to you! You don't have to refuse anymore! Besides, it is useless for someone to ask for these. If there is no business path, there is no interest in it."

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but wink at Su Cheng, "What are you going to refuse?" Do you know what this trade route means? It means a lot of money!"

The bearded guest is indeed not a greedy person. Although the business road to the Western Regions is rich, the bearded guest is indeed not interested. Su Cheng pondered: "Since Zhang Daxia insists on sending him off, I will not be pretentious. If Zhang Daxia has any needs, just speak up, and I will definitely help him!"

The bearded guest heard this and said happily: "Happy, that's right!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. With the detailed records of the bearded guest, it should not be difficult to go to the Western Regions by sea.

Because of Li Shimin's arrival, the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit calmer, but the bearded guest drank very happily.

The bearded guest experienced many thrilling experiences this time. He had seen through life and death for a long time, and naturally had no awe of the imperial power.

At this moment, only wine is in his eyes, and only fine wine cannot be disappointed.

Even so, Li Ji and others were still very satisfied. After hearing so many deeds of voyages, they were amazed that this was different from galloping on the battlefield.

Since Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu have both arrived, it is naturally impossible for the bearded guest to stay in Sujiazhuang.

The group left with a full meal. Li Jing and Hong Funu were very satisfied because they finally looked forward to their elder brother back.

Cheng Yaojin and the others were also very satisfied. After hearing the bearded guest talk about so many overseas things, they also gained knowledge and discovered the sea route to the Western Regions. Moreover, the detailed records of the bearded guest fell into Su Cheng's hands. What does this mean?

This means they can also get involved, because Su Cheng has never been a solo person, and their boats have been built and just in time to go into the water.

The bearded guest was a little regretful because he had a lot to say to Su Cheng, and he was very reluctant to leave the fine wines in Sujiazhuang. However, he actually came to Chang'an and it was indeed not suitable not to stay at the Duke of Wei's mansion. He missed his second brother and third sister very much, which were his only two relatives in this world.

Cheng Yaojin and the others left, but Li Shimin did not leave because he had something to say to Su Cheng.

"I didn't expect that the bearded guest actually came back. It's amazing. He won't use it for me, otherwise I will definitely reward him heavily!" Li Shimin sighed.

From beginning to end, he never mentioned that he would like to reward the bearded guest, because he knew it himself and would never accept it, so it would be better not to ask for it.

If the bearded guest is willing to accept the reward, he can even enthrone a county duke in Qiulang. He found the sea route to the Western Regions, which is definitely worth a county duke.

What a pity, the bearded guest would not accept it at all.

Su Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "It's really amazing. The impact of this long voyage from the bearded guest on future generations is immeasurable. Later generations will definitely remember this feat!"

Li Shimin didn't want to know how big the impact it had on future generations, he just wanted to know how big the impact it had on him.

Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Since the bearded guest has given you all the information about the long voyage, you have the staff and have the experience of going to sea, you should be ready to go to the Western Regions, right?"

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Of course you have to try it. If you open this commercial road, it will only benefit but not harm the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, the imperial court has built a lot of ships in the past two years, and it just happened to carry the goods to the Western Regions!"

Su Cheng shook his head slowly after hearing this, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for the court to do this. The court has a Maritime Bureau. Just collect taxes and cannot go to business in person."

There is indeed a Maritime Bureau that can collect taxes, but Li Shimin is still jealous of the profits of going overseas!

"Why can't the court go into business in person? You kid aren't you afraid that I will steal your profits?" Li Shimin suddenly became anxious.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. If Your Majesty really wants to get involved, you might as well ask the Empress to set up an imperial merchant and then send a ship to the sea."

"You said it earlier, okay, that's it!" Li Shimin was very satisfied after hearing this.

If the imperial court goes overseas for business, the profits will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. If the queen is asked to establish an imperial merchant, the profits will belong to the couple, and they can use whatever they want.
