Although the revenue from commercial tax is extremely considerable, the bulk of Li Yongxuan's income comes from mining and business surpluses.
He regarded all parts of Southeast Asia and Australia as his own backyard, exploited, processed and manufactured extensively, creating a large amount of material wealth.
This kind of predatory development is extremely detrimental to local nature.
However, Li Yongxuan didn't care at all.
He has some reservations about the mineral resources in various parts of Southeast Asia. As for Australia, it is completely destructive mining.
After all, Southeast Asia borders the land of the Kingdom of Heaven and is relatively easy to control. However, Australia is too far away from the Kingdom of Heaven. Once the power of the Kingdom of Heaven declines in the future, it may no longer be controllable.
Australia has only indigenous people and no Western powers, so it is impossible to resist the heavenly navy. There are even many indigenous people who are willing to be enslaved by the heavenly kingdom.
Compared with living outside, helping the Kingdom of Heaven to mine ore obviously leads to a better, easier and more comfortable life.
In order to conveniently provide ammunition and supplies to the Heavenly Kingdom army and navy, Li Yongxuan specially teleported to the Sukhothai Dynasty and personally led the army to attack the Mon people, Bagan, and Arakan Dynasty around Dali Kingdom.
The Mon people are said to have originated from western China across the lowlands along the Yinlowaddy River Delta and south to the Kra Isthmus of Taiguo.
Their economy is based on smallholder agriculture. The main crop is rice. They also raise cattle, buffalo, horses, pigs and other livestock. They occasionally go fishing. Their handicraft industry is relatively developed, but their military strength is very weak.
The army of the Kingdom of Heaven did not move. The Sukhothai army alone completely defeated the Meng people.
The Bagan Kingdom is much larger and stronger. The terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Faced with the envoys sent by the Kingdom of Heaven to surrender, the Kingdom of Bagan ignored them at all.
Li Yongxuan led his army to attack the Kingdom of Bagan. Under the sharp artillery fire of the Kingdom of Heaven, the capital of the Kingdom of Bagan, Bagan, was destroyed in just half a day.
From then on, the Bagan Kingdom became a vassal state of the Kingdom of Heaven.
As for the Arakan Dynasty, it has always been subordinate to the neighboring Bagan Kingdom.
Even the Kingdom of Bagan has become a vassal state. How can the Arakan Dynasty have the capital to compete with the Kingdom of Heaven?
As soon as the envoys sent by the Kingdom of Heaven to surrender arrived, the Arakan Dynasty surrendered.
At this point, all parts of Southeast Asia became vassals of the Kingdom of Heaven and sent troops to occupy them.
It is a vassal state in name, but in reality it is a semi-colony.
Before Li Yongxuan went on the expedition, Lu Wushuang was already pregnant, and it would be more than two months before he conquered the entire Southeast Asia.
It was already October 1249, and it had been nearly a year since he became emperor.
During this period, Li Yongxuan not only favored seventy or eighty beautiful ladies, but also favored hundreds of court ladies. But surprisingly, none of them became pregnant.
Instead, Wanyanping and Yeluyan became pregnant one after another.
During the two months of fighting, apart from doing business, Li Yongxuan would send messages back to the palace during his breaks.
The people in the palace didn't even know that Li Yongxuan went out to conquer the country personally, and thought he was handling government affairs.
Seeing so many beautiful ladies and palace maids not being recruited, Li Yongxuan deeply realized that all his efforts were in vain.
At the beginning, he felt that as his martial arts skills got better and better, the chance of getting pregnant would become smaller.
Xiao Longnu became pregnant twice, mainly because she and Li Yongxuan had the smallest difference in strength and had the most opportunities for close contact, so the probability of conception was naturally the highest.
Cheng Ying's strength is second only to Xiao Longnu, and she has a lot of contact with Li Yongxuan. It is not surprising that she would be pregnant.
Ever since Li Yongxuan revealed his guess, Lu Wushuang, Wanyanping, and Yeluyan all worked hard to practice martial arts.
Finally, all three of them got their wish and became pregnant.
Li Yongxuan thought about this and was thoughtful.
It stands to reason that Concubine Yan is not very powerful. How come she gets pregnant so easily?
Li Yongxuan did not think that she was prone to pregnancy, and he also knew that no one except himself had touched Concubine Yan's body.
There are so many beautiful ladies and palace maids, it is impossible that they do not have a physique that is prone to pregnancy. After thinking about it, it should be related to the art of collecting tonic.
The key is the art of tonic, not martial arts. Li Yongxuan can learn it casually.
Finally, he decided to seek advice from Concubine Yan Guifei, study hard, and want to go to school every day.
Recently, Li Yongxuan has not often consulted with Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan lives in a Taoist temple, and it is inconvenient for Li Yongxuan to go there and find her.
The most important thing was what she did, which made Li Yongxuan feel very unhappy and didn't want to go find her.
Otherwise, let alone Taoism, not even hell can stop Li Yongxuan.
In addition, he brought many beautiful ladies and maids into the palace. Since he was fresh and busy with government affairs, he did not go to have a private meeting with Concubine Yan.
For the issue of heirs, Li Yongxuan can only go to Yan Guifei for discussion.
We can't let all those showgirls and court ladies practice to become peerless masters. Even if we can teach them, we don't know how long they will be able to practice.
Late at night, Li Yongxuan quietly left the palace and came to the Taoist temple where Concubine Yan lived.
He never dreamed that Concubine Yan would actually sleep with a man.
Li Yongxuan was furious, and just as he was about to beat the couple to death on the spot, he heard the man whisper: "Don't worry, Zhao Tuo is the prince of Song Emperor Zhao Yunsheng. As long as you cooperate, when the matter is completed,
