Seeing Li Shimin's heartbroken look, Su Cheng was speechless. He didn't know that he thought it was the emperor's spices.

"What's the matter? Just load it up and transport it to Chang'an." Su Cheng murmured in a low voice.

"How to use this kind of rag bag, broken sack? These are all for transporting grain and grass. At least you have to use a better wooden box, right?" Li Shimin said angrily.

While talking, Li Shimin took apart a sack, and the inside was filled with brothel.

Li Shimin exclaimed: "The appearance of this brothel is so good!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, the spice island is full of spices. They only have one boat, so of course they can only pick up spices of good quality."

Li Shimin asked, "Where is the remaining spice?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The rest is all rotten!"

Li Shimin's tone suddenly became higher: "It's all bad?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Anyway, no one has taken it, so it's rotten, isn't it? The ground on the Spice Island has already rotted a thick layer!"

Li Shimin felt that his heart was bleeding. At that time, he felt that the spices of these forty carriages were so spectacular and so vast.

But now he suddenly felt so distressed. This was just a small part of the spices on the Spice Island, and most of the spices were rotten!

Isn't this a waste?

Originally, he was very excited to see the spices of these dozens of carriages, but now he suddenly felt that it was not fragrant at all.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Su Cheng, it's not that I said you were going to Spice Island. I'll send more boats to follow you so that you won't waste all the spices on Spice Island!"

"Your Majesty, do you have a sea boat?" Su Cheng was speechless. He had told you that he wanted to build a sea boat, but you didn't take it to your heart.

"That's because you didn't tell me to go find the Spice Island. If you want to tell me, why don't I bring you a dozen boats!" Li Shimin complained. It's impossible that it was his fault, it was Su Cheng's fault.

Su Cheng explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood. I didn't plan to find the Spice Island. The bearded guest was going to Japan, but he encountered a hurricane and happened to be blown to a small Spice Island."

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened, and he just met a spice island? A ship of spices?

Previously, Su Cheng said that there is wealth everywhere overseas, so is it too everywhere?

"Is that the Spice Island you mentioned before?" Li Shimin asked.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "No, it's just an inconspicuous island. The spice islands I know are quite big!"

Li Shimin licked his lips with jealousy: "How many spice islands are there on the sea?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, there are not many spice islands on the sea, and if there are too many, it will be worthless!"

"By the way, are there anyone on the spice island you mentioned?" Li Shimin asked.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Some spices are made of people on the island. They all use spices to build houses and cook with spices. Because spices are everywhere, it is not rare at all."

Damn! Li Shimin swears directly.

Now he had no doubt at all. The spices on these carriages were of excellent quality. Obviously, they had been selected and only had good quality.

So he finally believed what Su Cheng said, those spices are everywhere on the island.

He also understood why these spices were transported back to Chang'an in a rough manner, because those people had seen spices everywhere, so naturally they were not very rare!

Since the island is full of spices, it is natural to build a house with fire.

But when he thought of the preciousness of spices, he couldn't help but swear.

"Building a house in a fire is a waste of resources! How many people are there on their island? How powerful is the combat power?" Li Shimin asked, thinking about how many troops he was sending.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The people on the island are isolated from the world and their lives are very difficult. You can change the spices of cloth, pots, or pots, and pots. It's very simple!"

Li Shimin shook his head, do I just want a few ships of spices?

"I didn't expect that the people on the island were so difficult. I feel very pity. If they were my subjects, how could life be so difficult?" Li Shimin sighed with a kind look on his face.

"I will step up the construction of ships. At that time, I will go out to ship and people. If you go out to sea, you will go out to the place. If you find the spice island, we will add 21 to 5!" Li Shimin said with great enthusiasm.

Although Su Cheng said that there were spice islands on the sea before, he did not see the dozens of cars of spices transported back in the end, which was even more convincing.

Li Shimin is now full of motivation and wishes to build dozens or hundreds of sea boats to go out to sweep the spice islands on the sea.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I think Your Majesty is a bit of losing his roots!"

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Oh? Skip the roots and chase the ends?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Actually, in my opinion, the Spice Island is just a small increase in maritime trade. The real continuous wealth is still maritime trade!"

"The porcelain, tea, brocade of our Tang Dynasty is all treasures, and it is always in short supply wherever we ship."

Li Shimin pondered: "The porcelain, tea and brocade of our Tang Dynasty are naturally in short supply, but overseas are barren lands. What good things can there be?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "There are gems! There are spices! Your Majesty, although our Tang Dynasty has a wealth of treasures, it is not enough. For example, our Tang Dynasty lacks gold, silver and copper!"

"But there are overseas, for example, Japan. In His Majesty's view, Japan is a poor and barren land, but Japan produces a lot of silver. I know that Japan has a silver mine, but one silver mine is more than all the silver in our Tang Dynasty. Some places produce gold and some places produce gems."

If Su Cheng said that the Tang Dynasty lacked something else, Li Shimin would definitely not agree, but Su Cheng said that the Tang Dynasty lacked gold and silver and copper, so Li Shimin could not refute it. The thing about gold and silver is just like anyone else's lack of money.

The silver mines in a barren land of Japan actually have more silver than the Tang Dynasty combined, which is so enviable.

Li Shimin was a little anxious: "This overseas is too far after all, and transporting troops is too troublesome. How many ships do I have to build!"

Are you planning to send someone to grab it?

Su Cheng couldn't help but hold his forehead, Li Shimin, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not a bandit, can you stop thinking about grabbing?

Can we be more civilized?

Su Cheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you don't need to send troops to fight for expeditions, but you can do it through trade. The court only needs to set up a Maritime Bureau to collect taxes!"

Li Shimin swallowed his saliva and finally remembered that he was not only a military leader, but also an emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally understood what Su Cheng meant.

These things really don’t require the court to end up in the end, they just need to set up a special yamen to manage tax collection.
