"Return to Your Majesty, it will definitely be possible!"

Changsun Wuji said with certainty.

On the side, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also nodded repeatedly.

"Is the whole world a royal land? If those aristocratic families really captured some vassal states and I crowned them kings, wouldn't it mean that we had once again raised a pack of hungry wolves for the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others quickly shut up.

After thinking for a long time, Changsun Wuji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. Even if those aristocratic families conquered some small barbarian countries with sparse populations, they would not be able to develop in less than a few decades. As for them wanting to counterattack our country,

The Tang Dynasty did not have hundreds of years to gather so many troops!"

"It doesn't matter. Compared with others, these aristocratic families are the biggest concern of the Tang Dynasty right now!"

Li Shimin took a breath and waved his hand casually.

On the side, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also nodded repeatedly.

…

The next day, Li Shimin will indeed tell the matter at the court meeting.

Suddenly, the whole court was noisy.

However, this time it was a group of military generals who opposed it, while a group of people from aristocratic families actively supported it, shouting that Your Majesty is wise.

Anyway, no matter what this matter is, it will be very beneficial to all the aristocratic families.

Moreover, within a few days, these news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and all the aristocratic families were holding family meetings.

Li Xuan didn't pay too much attention to these.

Ever since Li Xuan told Li Shimin to let the aristocratic families attack the barbarian countries outside the Tang Dynasty and let these aristocratic families harm the barbarians.

Li Xuan came to the papermaking workshop.

Ask Mo Laosi, Li Dashi and others to make him a six-foot-square piece of bamboo paper.

When stretched out, the length and width are about two meters each.

Moreover, Li Xuan specifically requested that this kind of paper must be strong and durable.

Therefore, Mo Laosi, Li Dashi and others also added some raw materials to create a large bamboo paper that was twice as thick as ordinary paper and much tougher.

Then, he carefully placed the large piece of paper flat on a special large table on the first floor.

Li Xuan started, took out a small map, and began to draw it with concentration.

On the side, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others stood watching with curiosity on their faces.

However, Li Xuan didn't ask them to help, and they didn't dare to help randomly.

However, the more they looked at it, the more confused the expressions on Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others became.

Why are the objects painted by Master so familiar?

Finally, after the rough outlines of the maps came out, Li Chengqian couldn't help but pointed at one of them, which was about the size of a washbasin.

"Master, is this area the Tang Dynasty?"

"Isn't there the word "Datang" written on it? Can't you see it?"

Li Xuan said impatiently.

At this moment, Li Xuan felt particularly agitated.

Because, although he remembers the outline of the world map in his previous life, he even remembers the outline area of ​​more than half of the countries.

However, this was the Tang Dynasty, and the national territories in his mind had no effect at all on him.

"Master, why is the Tang Dynasty so small?"

However, Li Chengqian and others were immersed in shock and regret, and did not realize that their master's head was already irritable and about to smoke.

"The Tang Dynasty is already such a big area, how much bigger do you want it to be?"

Li Xuan turned his head and glared at these expressionless bastards angrily.

"But Master, my country, the Tang Dynasty, is a kingdom of heaven, with a fertile land thousands of miles away. Why is it so small?"

Looking at the small territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian still couldn't believe it.

"Small?"

Li Xuan turned around and glared, "Do you know how big the whole world is? The Tang Dynasty occupies less than one percent of the entire world. You don't have to sit in a well and look at the sky, and make others laugh in vain!"

"The Tang Dynasty was such a large territory, but it was less than one percent of the world?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others were even more shocked.

After learning numbers, they all know the concept of one percent.

"Hmph, when have I ever deceived you?"

Li Xuan snorted again, and then began to draw some more national territories around the territory adjacent to the Tang Dynasty.

Japan, Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje, Eastern Turks, Western Turks, Tubo, Nanzhao, Liuqiu...

There is another big country whose territory is comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, Dashi!

As Li Xuan's painting became more detailed, Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others looked even more shocked.

The map drawn by Confucius is most likely a real map of the world.

It's just that the Tang Dynasty was just that little, which they really couldn't accept.

The education they received from an early age was that the Tang Dynasty was the greatest country in the world and the highest country in the world.

But now, they suddenly learned that besides the Tang Dynasty, there was actually so much territory. There were even countries as big as the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to this.

"Following this map, you go to the west city of Chang'an City and find some Hu merchants. Many of them know that this country is a big food. You will know after asking."

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian and others quickly bowed their hands and saluted, somewhat impatiently.

"In addition, on this map of my master, there are still many territories that have not been drawn. If Hu Shang knows about it, you will draw it later!" Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, Master!"

When the few bastards saw that Li Xuan had no explanation, they quickly ran out with a few drawings.

Along the way, he rushed into the West Market with great momentum.

West Market is the most prosperous neighborhood in Chang'an City. Because it is close to the West Gate of Chang'an, merchants from the Western Regions will unload, trade and rest at the nearest West Market when they come to Chang'an.

Therefore, the West Market was also the center where Hu merchants from the Western Regions gathered. All major merchants in the Tang Dynasty also opened shops in the West Market. Every inch of land was really valuable, so it was also known as the Gold Market.

In the West Market, Hu merchants leading horses and camels can be seen everywhere in the streets.

At the same time, Wuhou patrolled the streets one after another, so that the bad guys and rangers did not dare to cause trouble in the West Market.

However, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others are obviously not included in this list.

They were all old acquaintances. When Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others hurriedly got off the carriage.

The barbarian merchants on the street couldn't help but feel a pain in their hearts and quickly ran away from these plague gods.

A group of Wuhou bravely came forward to meet them.

"I have met several young men. I wonder why these young men are lucky enough to come to the West Market today?"

"Old Li Tou?"

Seeing a familiar face, Cheng Chusi chuckled and said, "I came here to find a few knowledgeable Hu businessmen to show us a map. You don't need to worry."

"I see!"

Hearing this, all the Wu Hous breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Xiao Lang is here to find the knowledgeable Hu merchants, instead of grabbing them randomly on the street, it is better to go to the teahouse in front!" Old Li Tou continued.

"Teahouse?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and others were startled.

"Young men, in the West Market, only the big businessmen can go to the teahouse to drink tea and discuss business. Therefore, I think that the Hu businessmen who can enter the teahouse are the ones you are looking for!" Old Li Tou hurriedly said

Report.

"Well, you are an old Litou. You are usually very cunning. I didn't expect you to be so witty above all these things. I accept your suggestion. This is a small amount of money. Take it to drink tea!"

Cheng Chusi was overjoyed. He took out a handful of money from the purse at his waist and handed it to Old Li Tou.

Immediately, everyone went directly to the tea house.

Behind him, looking at the drop of money in his hand, Lao Litou was full of surprise and a little relieved, "I didn't expect that these young men have improved a lot after studying under Prince Jin for a period of time!"
