Accompanied by the autumn rain, Chang'an City slowly began to become cold.

But the atmosphere is getting hotter.

"Prince, Fei Ge sent a letter from Dengzhou. Li Geng and his group have returned from North America smoothly and will return to Chang'an City soon.

This time their trip to North America was from Dengzhou to Nambatsu, then went to Hakodate Port for replenishment, and then crossed the North Pacific Ocean and arrived in North America smoothly.

It is said that they discovered gold mines somewhere near the Pacific Ocean side of North America, where they built a small port called Kingsoft Port.”

Early in the morning, Wang Xuance came to Li Kuan and reported good news.

Although Li Kuan didn't ask much, he was still worried about Li Geng's risky move to open up new routes.

With an accident, there was no news about them again.

Fortunately, although it has been nearly a year apart, I still heard the news that they returned safely.

"It is normal for them to have gold mines in the Americas. I guess they have been in North America for so long this time, and there should be some other discoveries.

This is also a good thing for our Tang Dynasty. The richer the products in North America, the more attractive they are to everyone.

Now both north and south routes have been successfully opened, and more merchants will definitely go to the Americas in the future.”

Although China has always used land and resources to describe itself, Li Kuan is very clear that the Americas, not Asia, who can really talk about land and resources.

While no one in the world had drawn his eyes on America, he was ready to let the Tang Dynasty occupy this rich land first.

As for the natives who originally lived above, there should be no conflict in a short period of time.

If there is really a conflict, Li Kuan also feels that there is nothing to be afraid of.

I wouldn't have started to enter the industrialized Tang Dynasty, and would I be afraid of Indians who were still in an almost primitive society?

"It is indeed as you said by Prince. Judging from the current understanding, the gold mines near Jinshan Port seem to be all surface gold mines, which are very suitable for ordinary people to search for gold.

Once this news spreads, there will definitely be many people willing to take risks by then."

Although the circulation of gold and silver coins on the Tang Dynasty market began to gradually narrow, Tang Yuan's influence has been increasing.

However, it is obviously not that easy to completely replace gold and silver coins in a short period of time.

"When the time comes, we will discuss it with Li Geng and see if we just use this explosive point to promote North America and attract more fleets to take risks in the past.

In addition, they should have found a lot of herds of bison? I think this is a good way to make money. If someone specializes in hunting bison, he will probably make a fortune."

In a short period of time, it may not be very attractive to go to the Americas to develop the planting industry.

Even if you give others a lot of land, it is useless because there is not so much manpower to plant it.

But hunting bison and digging gold are different. There is almost no need for particularly large investment to produce relatively high output.

It is obviously more attractive to adventurers.

"No problem. I will discuss with Li Geng carefully and we must develop the North American route."

...

"Your Majesty, this year's autumn harvest has basically ended, and data from various places have been reported one after another. The 20th year of Zhenguan is a year of bumper harvest."

In the Summer Palace, the elderly Fang Xuanling was in a very happy mood to report the great affairs of the world to Li Shimin.

After 20 years of hard work on Li Shimin, Li Kuan's golden finger was added there.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was much stronger than in history.

Even in the Kaiyuan period in history, its strength is definitely not as good as that in the present.

The easiest thing is to look at the population of Chang'an City, which has now exceeded two million.

In this world, two million is almost the population of many countries and the entire country.

But in the Tang Dynasty, this is only the population of Chang'an City.

"This is the result of your hard work."

Li Shimin was a rare humble man.

At this time, he was actually very proud inside.

If Li Yuan was still alive, he would definitely tell him about these achievements so that he could know that he was the most suitable emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is a mistake! Your Majesty's efforts are obvious to all. Over the past twenty years, Your Majesty has worked diligently every day and worked hard every day, pointing out the direction of development for the development of our Tang Dynasty.

Now looking around, the Turks have long been destroyed, and the Xueyantuo people obediently surrendered.

As for the Goguryeo Kingdom, it has disappeared, let alone the various vassal states in Southeast Asia.

It can be said that no country has ever had the prosperous era of our Tang Dynasty."

Fang Xuanling was also very proud when she said this.

Such a prosperous Tang Dynasty naturally has its contribution.

"It seems that developing industry and commerce and encouraging the people of the Tang Dynasty to develop overseas are correct.

I just heard that the new voyage in North America has been successfully launched. It only takes three months to pass through Dengzhou.

Judging from the globe, North America has a very broad area and its development prospect is unlimited.

This year, some of the children of the royal family have been enthroned to overseas territory. After the expedition team understands the situation in North America, I am planning to enthrone another group of people."

Li Shimin now also sees the benefits of developing overseas things.

Not to mention the large amount of gold, silver and specialties that flow into the Tang Dynasty every year, the various novel crops brought to the Tang Dynasty by the New World alone are enough to pay any price.

"Well, the proposal of Your Highness the Crown Prince is really good. No one in the court has opposed it. This shows that this policy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

When Fang Xuanling said this, he selectively ignored the children of the royal family.

As a direct associate, the executor of this policy.

Among the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, there must be many people who are unwilling to leave Chang'an City.

But so what?

If you don't go overseas, what do you want to do?

If you are demoted to a commoner first, you can choose not to go.

Considering that going out to sea is no longer a novelty for the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how much unwilling those children of the royal family are, no one dares to stand up and oppose it.

Even princes like Li Ke are obediently going to Ryukyu, who else dares to jump around?

"The pheasant slave is growing up, I feel very comforted."

Before he knew it, Li Shimin realized that he was old.

Although he is only in his fifties, his physical fitness has declined very significantly due to years of hard work.

Especially in recent years, Li Shimin has also become a little arrogant when he looks at the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Even if you know that your health is not as good as before, you still do what you should do.

Otherwise, there would not be a new group of beauties in the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is he a good person now. Can you consider letting him start to actually intervene in the government?"

Fang Xuanling is not the Chu King Party, nor is he the Prince. He is the Imperial Party.

Although he has a very good relationship with Li Kuan, because of this, he actually has hidden worries in his heart.

The Tang Dynasty is developing so well now, and he doesn't want to see any unexpected things interrupt this pace of development.

"Well, your proposal is very good. I think about which department of the Eighteen Divisions can make a place to take responsibility for the Chi Nu.

It can also be said that he has devoted the theoretical knowledge he has learned with me over the years to practical application."
