"What does Your Majesty mean?" In the study, Li Jin said with a confused look on his face. He looked much more stable than before when he entered middle age, and his years of maritime career made him much tanned. He also had a big beard on his face, which looked quite majestic.

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would do nothing, so I asked you to continue going back next year. I originally thought that Your Majesty would have to at least install a few trusted people under your hands?" Ang Lee, who was sitting opposite Li Jin, asked in confusion. He is now very trusted by Li Zhi, and generally Li Zhi, an important government affairs, would discuss with him, but he had never heard Li Zhi mention this matter.

"This matter is related to Jin'er and Chengqian. Your identity is sensitive. It is normal for Your Majesty to not tell you. It's just that Your Majesty's decision this time is indeed beyond expectations!" Li Xiu, who was sitting behind the desk, stroked his beards at this time.

At the end of the year, Li Jin and Li Chengqian also returned from the south, but in order to avoid suspicion, they deliberately staggered the time to return to Chang'an, while Li Ke stayed in Linyi and temporarily took charge of Li Chengqian. After all, Linyi had just been defeated, and a heavyweight must be in charge, otherwise there will be trouble.

This time, Li Jin and Li Chengqian came back mainly to show Li Zhi that they had no unfair intentions. After all, some time ago, someone had already submitted a memorial saying that they were going to rebel. Although Li Zhi did not believe it, they also had to make a move. What's more, both the Navy and Linyi needed Li Zhi to send some people he trusted to come in. This is the way to be the king.

However, what Li Jin and the others did not expect was that when Li Zhi saw them coming back, he welcomed them very enthusiastically, and even invited them to the palace to stay up to the New Year together during the New Year. However, after the New Year, Li Zhi asked them to go back immediately, because both the Navy and Lin Yi needed them to take charge, and as for the matter of installing people, they didn't even mention it. This is also the reason why Li Xiu and his son gathered together to discuss today.

"Is it because Your Majesty trusts his second brother and Cheng Qian too much that he has never thought about this?" Ang Lee suddenly spoke again.

"No, for the emperor, even if he trusts his ministers, he will still make arrangements. But now His Majesty seems to be too indulging in Jin'er and Chengqian. This is not the way to be a king at all!" Li Xiu immediately shook his head and rejected Ang Lee's thoughts.

"What did Your Majesty think? Is it a tactic of trying to get?" Li Jin also touched his chin and said to himself. He brought the navy with one hand, and his prestige in the navy was unmatched. Even if he had no strange intentions, he was a little taboo after all, so he was also a little worried in the past two years.

"Don't think about it, kid. Can Your Majesty use the method of trying to get you? What's more, with his nature, he can't do such a thing. I guess Your Majesty should have other plans, but it's not convenient to say it." Li Xiu glared at Li Jin at this time and said. He seemed to have guessed some of Li Zhi's thoughts at this time, but he was still not sure.

"Did your Majesty know what your Majesty plan?" Ang Lee was shocked when he heard Li Xiu's words and asked immediately.

"No, don't discuss this matter anymore. Anyway, Your Majesty has no suspicion about Jin'er and Chengqian, so you can go back and do whatever you should do. Your Majesty will naturally tell you his plans in the future!" Li Xiu lied to his son at this time, not that he refused to say it, but before he was sure, he didn't know if Li Zhi was really as he guessed?

Seeing that my father was unwilling to discuss this matter again, Ang Lee and Li Jin looked at each other and didn't say anything at the moment. However, Li Jin soon thought of another thing and stood up excitedly and said: "Father, I have sent someone to find the continent east of Nanyang that you mentioned. Just a few days before I returned to Chang'an, the fleet sent finally came back, and it also brought good news!"

"Have you found it?" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Li Jin's words. Naturally, it was to look for Australia in the future, but Li Xiu did not intend to use this name again. Moreover, when Li Jin was conquering Nanyang a few years ago, he sent a letter to let Li Jin pay attention. However, at that time, Li Jin wanted to control the huge Nanyang and could not withdraw his hands to explore. It was not until last year that he sent several boats, and he really discovered Australia.

"Yes, the people I sent brought a few kangaroos that my father said, but unfortunately they all died on the way. And the people sent said that the meat of this thing is very unpalatable, but the local natives like to eat it. In addition, there are many crocodiles there, and a few unlucky guys got ashore, but were accidentally dragged away by the crocodile, and in the end they couldn't even find the body." Li Jin said excitedly at this time.

As Li Xiu's son, he has also learned from his father to learn about the world since he was a child. However, no matter how good his father said, it is not as true as he had seen with his own eyes. Now Australia has discovered that if he has time, he wants to go to Australia for a walk.

"It's great. That continent is rich in minerals. The only problem is that the inland is not suitable for human habitation, but the east has a pleasant climate and is very suitable for farming and grazing. If you have time, you can encourage some people to settle down!" Li Xiu said excitedly again at this time. There were already Li Chengdao and others in the Americas, and now Australia has fallen into the control of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, the Pacific Ocean will become the inland sea of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing his father's words, Li Jin hurriedly agreed. Then Li Xiu asked about his situation in the South China Sea. Li Jin also answered one by one. In recent years, the sea trade in the Tang Dynasty has become more and more prosperous. As a major transportation route between the sea and the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea is naturally very prosperous. In addition, the Nanyang products are rich, and many maritime merchants have set up strongholds in the South China Sea and even relocated directly. With these people, it is more convenient for Li Jin's navy to control the South China Sea.

Of course, there are many small countries in Nanyang. At first, they are naturally unwilling to give up their land and interests to others. However, under the powerful crossbow of the Tang Dynasty, they had no capital to oppose. Anyone who dared to resist was almost immediately wiped out, while the rest could only rely on the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Li Jin was deeply taught by Li Xiu and had a bone distrust of these foreign tribes, so he also vigorously promoted immigration to Nanyang, but was limited by the population of the Tang Dynasty, and the effect of immigration was not very significant for the time being.

The father and son chatted for a long time, and finally Ang Lee and Li Jin said goodbye and left. However, just as the two brothers left the study, Ang Lee suddenly grabbed Li Jin and hid aside and said, "Second brother, don't spread the new continent you discovered for the time being!"
