Chapter 450: The East China Sea Discussion
"How do you say this?" Di Renjie smiled, as if he was asking for helping Yuan Gai Suwen.
"It's actually very simple." Songtsen Gampo continued, "When Goguryeo was peaceful, the national strength was rising, the children were reborn, and the strength continued to rise. As more farming was brought, the food would also increase. With these two conditions, more things could be done, just like the trade between the Tang Dynasty and Western countries. However, after the chaos, many people died in the war and the population declined sharply. A good Goguryeo forced the national strength back to a hundred years ago."
"The current King of Goguryeo is thinking about restoring national strength. If Goguryeo is not suppressed by the Tang Dynasty, he must keep up with the pace of the Tang Dynasty. Recovery year after year will be very long. If you want to speed up this speed, you have to attack Japan."
Di Renjie nodded, "If you can't drink this glass of wine, you can drink someone else's wine so that you can drink it."
"That's the reason." Songtsen Gampo nodded.
"I can't fight, I can't fight!" said the Japanese monk locked on the other end, "I've all fallen into Gu Qing's trap, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind! It's over, it's over, I can't catch up with the Tang Dynasty, and Gu Qing can't catch up with you."
"It seems that you must have great opinions." Di Renjie looked at the Japanese monk and said, "Tell me about your great opinions."
Since returning from the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the Japanese monk has been detained here. Di Renjie gave him a charge. Whether this Japanese monk can go out depends on how he decides. It is his own words to go out. It is his own words to want this Japanese monk to stay here. Sometimes power is wonderful.
The Japanese monk smiled bitterly, "From the first time I saw Gu Qing, I will be in trouble. Sometimes it may be a coincidence, but once or twice is not a coincidence. After I came to this cell and sat in a jail for so many days, I realized that Gu Qing had been in this bureau for a long time. He went east to go to Goguryeo? That's all a cover! A small Goguryeo is not in Gu Qing's appetite."
"When he was expeditioning Goguryeo in the east, he was still looking at Japan after the east, and he was still building a port in the East China Sea." The Japanese monk whispered, "This Gu Qing took every step to break the chess game. He had never seen Goguryeo in front of his eyes. His purpose was to destroy Japan. Mr. Gu, where did I offend you?"
The Japanese monk raised his head and sighed, "It's not that Goguryeo is over, it's that Japan is over."
Di Renjie smiled on his face while drinking wine.
"You can tell Gu Qing for me." The Japanese monk said, "I know there is a truth in the Central Plains, which is called the crime of possessing a treasure. Hasn't Gu's Mr. Gu fall in love with our Japanese silver mine? I am willing to return to Japan to give all the silver mines to Mr. Gu, just seeking peace in Japan."
"You are wrong. You underestimate my teacher too much." Di Renjie said coldly, "A little Japanese?"
"What do you mean?" The Japanese monk was excited.
"The teacher is now on the string and has to shoot it." Di Renjie said calmly, "This time, everyone in the world is watching the teacher's sea trade. Whether it is the wealthy family in Jiangnan, the genius from Shandong, or the forces in the Central Plains, the teacher risked his best to inject a lot of hard work into this sea trade. A small Japanese country cannot fill the appetite of the Central Plains, nor can it fill the teacher's appetite. This time, what we want is the entire East China Sea."
The Japanese monk stared at Di Renjie in a daze.
"I saw it on the teacher's map at the beginning." Di Renjie lowered his voice, "Those routes are not only Japan. The South China Sea, which goes south from the East China Sea, is also under the teacher's plan. This time, the Sino-Japanese Trade Fair has been going on for a long time. Although I don't know why the teacher took this step, I just think that it is worth it for the teacher to do so much."
Songtsen Gampo had only a little understanding of it. He had never seen the East China Sea even though he was born in Tubo. "Is the East China Sea very big?"
"It's very big!" Di Renjie nodded, "It's very vast. Japan is just the first stop for the teacher, and there are many more in the future."
Yuan Gaisuwen couldn't speak, but he still thought about Goguryeo today. This time he hoped that Goguryeo could succeed from the bottom of his heart. Even though the directions of the two were different, even though they were once the enemy of life and death, everyone could be better for Goguryeo.
"I'll leave the wine for you." Di Renjie stood up, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back."
"Go away." Songtsen Gampo said while drinking.
Three days later, the war between Goguryeo and Japan obscured Gu Qing's recruitment of civilians, and people turned their attention to the East China Sea.
Gu Qing slowly rode his horse towards Chang'an.
"Shangshuling, can you hurry up?" the guards beside him urged.
After a long time, the same speed was still there, and Gu Qingsi had no intention of speeding up. This guy Li Er summoned him to the East China Sea again. When you were building a port, you ignored him. Now you just like me like this?
It took Gu Qing more than an hour to walk in front of Chengtian Gate. After reporting, he entered the palace and came to Ganlu Hall. The prince stood beside Li Er.
One is the emperor today, and the other is a guy not far from the position of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am here." Gu Qing saluted lazyly.
Li Er smiled disdainfully in the face of Gu Qing's behavior, "Come in."
"Yes!" Gu Qing walked into the hall and saluted Li Chengqian, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Okay! OK!" Li Er had become accustomed to Gu Qing's carelessness, "Gu Qing, tell me what you think."
"Okay." Gu Qing smiled, "Now is a good time to do business. Donghai is indeed suitable for doing business now?"
"It's business?" Li Er was a little surprised.
"Yes, is it business?" Gu Qing nodded vigorously, "I hope that Your Majesty can give me a few cannons, and there are pirates at sea. With cannons, I will not be afraid of those pirates."
Li Er thoughtful, looking at Gu Qing with a meaningful smile, as if he understood something and stood up and walked around, "You can discuss the next thing with the prince, I'm tired."
"My son respectfully sends you to Your Majesty." Li Chengqian bowed and bid farewell to Li Er, turned to look at Gu Qing, "Shangshu Ling, let's talk about the matters in the East China Sea."
"Okay, okay!" Gu Qing said with interest, "Actually, there are many things in the East China Sea. At Shanhaiguan, I saw a large turtle as big as an island. His Highness the King of Wu and His Highness the King of Wei also saw it. There are also many sea fish in the East China Sea. A fish in the East China Sea is called a whale."
"Gu...Gu Qing." Li Chengqian was sweating coldly, "I am not talking about this."
"There are still there." Gu Qing turned a blind eye and said, "There is a kind of mermaid in the ocean, each of which is extremely beautiful and wears few clothes."
