After hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned and then stared at Li Xuan in a daze.

"Xuanba, this map is indeed a treasure for the Tang Dynasty! What rewards do you want, just mention it!"

"Your Majesty, I don't have any big requests, I only need two giant steel ships!"

Li Xuan replied slowly.

"Ahem..."

Li Shimin, who was drinking water, was shocked.

Two giant ships or made of steel, isn't that a big deal?

"Two giant ships built of steel? Where did you hear this giant ship? Do you know that steel sinks when it enters the water, let alone giant ships built of steel!"

"Xiao Gong, have you ever heard of giant ships built of steel?"

Li Xiaogong was once the chief general of Jingzhou, building large ships, teaching soldiers to fight water, and commanding the navy of the Tang Dynasty to attack Xiao Xian. It can be said that he was the best general in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in asking Lee Hyo-gong about the matter of the giant ship.

"When you go back to your Majesty, although you have built thousands of ships, you have never seen a giant ship built of steel."

Li Xiaogong also shook his head and replied quickly.

At the same time, looking at Li Xuan was also full of doubts.

"However, if the giant steel ship mentioned by King Jin can be built, then my Tang Dynasty navy will definitely be invincible on the rivers and seas, and there is no threat to Baekje and Goguryeo!"

"Your Majesty, if I can prove that such a giant ship built with steel can travel on the water, can your Majesty give me two giant ships built with steel?"

Li Xuan asked again.

Now, Li Shimin was stunned again.

He actually felt that the giant ship built by steel that Li Xuan mentioned could really be realized.

But, how is this possible?

"Can Xuanba really build such a giant steel ship?" Li Shimin asked uncertainly.

"It is true to see it. Your Majesty will know if you can do it after seeing it!"

Li Xuan glanced at his mouth helplessly, but he didn't expect that with those steelmaking techniques, Li Shimin was still so stingy.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with embarrassment and he smiled awkwardly.

"If this is true, I can give Xuanba a giant steel ship within one year. As for the other one, I will give it to you in the next year!"

"One ship is OK!"

Li Xuan sighed lightly. Anyway, with the steel giant ship, he still had to find a way to enhance its motivation.

Otherwise, the huge boat would not be able to move by relying solely on the human paddles of the crew.

"I wonder if Xuanba proves this?"

Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong both looked at Li Xuan quickly.

"Your Majesty wait a few days, and I will ask those craftsmen to use steel to create a small steel ship model and put it on the water and try it!"

Li Xuan replied.

"Steel vessel model?"

Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were also stunned.

"Um!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly but ignored it.

Seeing this, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong just smiled helplessly and did not continue to ask in detail.

Since Li Xuan didn't want to explain in detail, he would find out after a few days.

But when I think about Li Shimin, I feel a little distressed.

He originally wanted to come to Li Xuan to ask how to deal with the collective attacks of the vassal states by those aristocratic families. Unexpectedly, not only did he not get a satisfactory answer, but he also had to rush onto two giant steel ships for nothing.

Two ships, if those steels are used to build weapons, how many troops can they be equipped?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin subconsciously walked towards that large picture.

If this map can be taken back and placed in Liangyi Hall, he can watch the map of the world every day!

Um?

Suddenly, Li Shimin's expression condensed.

On the map, I saw some signs written in small characters by Li Xuan!

"Spices everywhere, strange woods, people use ivory as their beds...Holing Kingdom?"

"Gold is everywhere, and gold is exposed in the river...Luzon?"

"Can pepper... I will win it..."

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not only delicious, but also produce very large amounts..."

“…”

The more I looked at it, the more I felt more surprised in Li Shimin.

Although it was just a few simple words to describe it, Li Shimin felt that he had understood the preciousness of these objects.

No wonder Xuanba said that this is a treasure map!

"Xuanba, are these true?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly turned his head and looked at Li Xuan with anticipation.

"Um!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"In the land of Luzon, can you pick up gold from the river?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"That's right!" Li Xuan replied.

"Is there really spices everywhere in Heling?"

"Um!"

"There are really potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are not only delicious but also produce very high?"

"Um!"

“There is really a place…”

"Your Majesty, the words on that map are all written by me. Except for the names of some countries, the objects on the quilt must be real!"

Li Shimin asked a little annoyed, and Li Xuan replied first.

Li Shimin was not angry at all about this, but was full of excitement and excitement.

"It's really a treasure map!"

Li Xiaogong, who was beside him, had his eyes turned red and he hurriedly asked for the order to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the Navy is my old family. I request to lead troops to conquer these countries!"

"No!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan shook his head without waiting for Li Shimin to reply.

Nonsense, if he doesn't interrupt, Li Shimin, a war dealer, will definitely agree.

“Why?”

Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong both looked at Li Xuan with confusion.

"Your Majesty, Prince Hejian, if you want to go to these places, you need to go to sea. The wind and waves on the sea can be as high as a few feet high. With those wooden boats alone, facing these wind and waves, you may be directly overturned into the vast sea.

Moreover, Luzon and Holing, as well as the farther continent, America, are even more distant. It is too risky to go out to sea by wooden boats!"

Li Xuan said.

"King of Jin, as long as we can bring these treasures back to the Tang Dynasty, we will die!" Li Xiaogong said firmly.

"The Prince of Hejian has lived for decades and has only enjoyed time for more than ten years. The Prince of Hejian is in his prime and is the time to enjoy life. Why should he take such a risk?"

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of anything. If a group of navy soldiers really had an accident at sea, they would not only not be able to come back, but also suffer great losses to the Tang Dynasty, which would cost the generals and also lose large ships. I wonder how many times did the Hejian Prince think that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty could withstand such losses?"

"this?……"

Suddenly, Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin were both stunned.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaogong's expression gradually dimmed.

He also led the boat out of the sea several times, knowing that what Li Xuan said was true.

On the side, Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan thoughtfully, "Is Xuanba building a giant steel ship for these places?"
