Xiao Wanyu walked over and hugged Li Lan from Takahashi Kyumiko's arms, and asked, "Kyumiko, if you have any unhappy things, just tell me."

Takahashi Kyumiko said while wiping her tears: "The second sister's Tuyuhun, the third sister's Xue Yantuo and the fifth sister's Dashiguo are all so rich and stable, but my father and brother are still fighting hard. Not long ago, my brother was injured, so the prince just watched it and wanted to go around the mountains and rivers by himself.

I also know that the prince has worked hard all these years, but I am worried about my father and brother, woo woo..."

In the second half of last year, the Kyushu Kingdom launched an attack on the Japanese country with the help of the Tang Dynasty Navy. Due to insufficient preparations and the desperate resistance of the Japanese country, no progress was made. Taro Takahashi was even injured by an arrow, so he had to retreat to Kyushu Island.

Takahashi Kyumiko is a strong woman, but she has a great husband, and the woman's dependence nature is naturally released. When she cried, the pear blossoms were filled with rain.

As the eldest sister, Xiao Wanyu felt sorry for Li You, but she wanted to give her a bowl of water. So she said, "Brother You, let's talk about the matter slow down if you don't take a vacation. Let's help Jiumiko first. Li Lan is the prince of the Japanese islands. It's not true now. He is also your son, so you have to take care of his affairs."

Murong Ling, Ashinaqing and Reina are in better situations than Takahashi Kyumiko. When Xiao Wanyu said this, she was not willing to fall behind. They all showed their sympathy and persuaded Li You to solve the problem of helping Takahashi Kyumiko solve the Japanese slave country first.

The Japanese Islands must be solved. What is the reason? People in later generations know.

However, this nation on the Japanese archipelago is very evil. They have great advantages - they are good at learning, diligence and relative unity. They have a strong wolf nature in their personality. They will obey the strong when facing the strong and then learn from the strong. Once they think they can compete with the strong, they will show their fangs and try to tear the strong apart.

The Tang Dynasty was powerful. People on the Japanese archipelago learned from the Tang Dynasty almost completely in all aspects of politics, economy, military and cultural aspects, and even copied the entire Luoyang. By the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates became a major problem for the Han people. At the end of the 18th century, when they were defeated by Western powers, they began to attack again, and eventually caused the Western powers to suffer all the hardships.

However, in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese Islands were just a small place, and the Japanese people were also uncivilized barbarians. No one cared about them, and no one cared about them.

Li You is different. He must solve this problem while he is alive. Otherwise, no one is willing to worry about this problem. This disaster will still harm the descendants of the Han people in the future.

Thinking of this, Li You said to Takahashi Kyumiko: "Okay, I'll go to Kyushu Island for vacation."

Takahashi Kyumiko was very excited. She knelt on the ground and expressed her gratitude to Li You in accordance with the etiquette of Kyushu Island.

The princesses persuaded Li You to solve the problem of Kyumiko Takahashi, but in fact they were just talking to show their noble character. They did not expect that Li You actually agreed to go to Kyushu Island. They were unwilling to give up and asked to go with them.

Li You smiled and said, "I agree if anyone of you wants to go, but the bumps on the sea are not good either."

The princesses all heard the magpie talk about the situation at sea, and they were a little scared, so they all gave in.

Li You made a decision, and the next step was how to convince the ministers.

Li You has a very high prestige, and no one will object to the questions he raised. However, the current national policy of the Tang Dynasty was to support the people and to carry out internal construction. Li You asked Li Ke to fight Zhenla, but he wanted to fight the Japanese slave country in the east, which was obviously inconsistent with the current national policy of the Tang Dynasty. He still had to find appropriate reasons to convince everyone.

Eastern Palace.

Li You reported his thoughts to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you are just working hard. You are not going to take a vacation, you are just looking for a grudge. Let's agree first, this is not what I asked you to go. Haha."

Li You did not tell Li Chengqian the real reason why he wanted to fight the Japanese sub-country. He even said that Li Chengqian would not believe it. Because in Li Chengqian's mind, the Japanese sub-country was dispensable, and he did not take the matter of the Japanese islands seriously.

Li You told him about other reasons. Li Chengqian was not familiar with border affairs and was too lazy to use his brain. He said, "Didn't you say you wanted Li Ke to fight Zhen La? You just happened to talk about the reasons for these two things in the court."

Li You was recognized by Li Chengqian, so he went to Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others to blow the wind in advance.

Morning court, Tai Chi Hall.

As long as Li You goes to court, there will definitely be important things. Therefore, from the beginning of the morning court, everyone will wait for him to speak first.

Li You said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the memorial sent by Li Ke, the King of Lingnan, to your crown prince, you have read it carefully and think it makes sense. I suggest that Lingnan Road send troops to Zhenla Kingdom."

After Li You said that some of the ministers disagreed and wanted to object, but they were a little afraid of Li You's prestige and did not dare to express their opinions. Most of the ministers trusted Li You, so they did not speak out.

Wei Zheng came out and said, "Your Highness, the minister has doubts about this matter. The court has just promulgated the national policy of helping the people and calmly, so why should we start a war again?"

Gao Jingming also stood up and said, "Yes, the whole country has just entered the track of economic construction, and large amounts of funds are needed everywhere. To launch a war, it requires the use of treasury reserves, which will disrupt the Ministry of Revenue's fund allocation plan. Why do you do this? Please explain the reason in detail."

With Wei Zheng and Gao Jingming taking the lead, some ministers also raised questions.

Wei Zheng and Gao Jingming came out to express their objections, which were discussed in advance by Li You and Li Chengqian.

Since Li Chengqian actually took power, many people in the court were afraid and did not dare to express their opinions normally. This was not a normal court atmosphere. In order to make the ministers more relaxed, they can actively maintain the unity of the court with the protagonist's mentality, and serve the court sincerely, and it is necessary to carry out normal court debates.

Li Chengqian said, "Yes, fifth brother, tell me your reasons."

Li You said, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

He said: "The ocean-going fleet has arrived in Guangzhou, and Lu Tong and others are about to come to Chang'an. Among the types of plants they brought back, some of them play an extremely important role in the national economy.

One of the plants is called rubber trees, and rubber is a good thing. The boots worn by everyone and the high heels worn by women cannot solve the problem of waterproofing. When it comes to rain and snow, the soles of the shoe are soaked is not good, right?"

"It's not just uncomfortable, it's easy to smell your feet and damage your shoes." Hou Junji said.

Yuchi Gong said: "Yes, when the Turkic attacks, soldiers walked on the snow. Many people were frostbite because of the soles of the shoes, and many people were amputated because of the soles. It would be great if they could have waterproof soles."

"Yes." The ministers agreed.

Li You said: "Rubber can be made into soles. Even if it is soaked in water for ten or eight years, it will not penetrate. How big a problem can this alone solve?

Of course, rubber is more than that. It is wear-resistant and elastic, and is the best material for making wheels. It is incomparable to wooden wheels.

Jinchona tree is the main raw material for making Jinchona cream. Jinchona cream is a special medicine for preventing and treating fever, especially malaria, and is a necessity in tropical areas. Jinchona cream is made of grinding the bark of Jinchona tree.

With this drug, thousands of people can be saved every year...

Economically, these things can bring huge wealth…”

Li You popularized the functions of some important plants and asked: "Do you think it's important?"

The ministers listened with relish and said, "These things are so important, they must be planted in large quantities!"

Li You said: "These tropical plants can only grow in tropical areas, such as Linyi and Zhenla. If Zhenla is not built, the land will not be enough.

Also, the imperial court is now engaged in economic construction, so we can only make an economic account.

Lingnan Road is the border area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, and its economic development is relatively backward. Every year, the court provides a large amount of funds for Lingnan Road to maintain the operation of the government and military expenditures, which plays a significant hindering role in the economic construction of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Zhenla is defeated, he will first gain a lot of economic gains. The entire Lingnan Road will no longer require the imperial subsidies for at least three years. Li Ke said that as long as he lends him 2 million guan, he will guarantee the return within one year and give the imperial court 500,000 guan interest.

The newly obtained land can accommodate a large number of immigrants, and those tropical resources will also bring great economic benefits.

Politically speaking, the battle of Zhen La can also echo the Northwest Road, suppress the countries such as Tianzhu, and ensure the peace of the southwest and northwest sides of our Tang Dynasty.

My Tang army is becoming more and more powerful, and it is easy to conquer the real la carte. Do you think such a business will be done?"

After Li You finished speaking, he looked around and waited for the ministers to express his opinions.
Chapter completed!
