"Brother Zhang Feng, are you … telling the truth?"
"You're saying that His Majesty has already thought of this?"
Li Shimin really wanted to ask why he didn't know about this.
But in the end, he held himself back.
When Zhang Feng saw Li Shimin grabbing his hand excitedly, he shook it off in disgust.
He said speechlessly, "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?!"
"If His Majesty can't even think of this, then he doesn't deserve to be His Majesty!"
"Pfft …"
When Li Shimin heard this, he almost spat a mouthful of wine on Zhang Feng's face.
This bastard, he's taking every opportunity to insult me!
"Brother Zhang Feng, you're being ridiculous. Just tell me, what does this waterway have to do with maritime navigation? And as far as I know, the seaside is basically a piece of land with nothing to show for it. How could such a poor place form a new trade route? "
Zhang Feng was speechless.
"Tell me, how did the Western Region become a golden trade route when it's filled with f * cking sand?"
He really wanted to bring Lao Li to the modern world and let him see Shenzhen and other places. At that time, he probably wouldn't say this.
"Lao Li, no matter what, as long as someone walks on it, it will form a route. Let me ask you, since you often go to the various countries in the Western Region to do business, where did the merchants of the Tang Dynasty go on the furthest route?"
Li Shimin frowned, and a map of the Western Region flashed in his mind.
"As far as I know, the furthest route is the Black-Clad Abbasid Caliphate. After that, it seems to be a sea …"
"Yes! The sea! "
Zhang Feng patted Li Shimin.
"Let me ask you, you've been doing business for many years. Can you calculate how long it will take to reach the Black-Clad Abbasid Caliphate if there are no natural disasters blocking the way?"
"Probably, at least half a year?"
Li Shimin was a little uncertain.
Zhang Feng patted Li Shimin's shoulder.
"Brother, half a year! You know, if the fleet of the Tang Dynasty directly buys things from Zhenla, with the power of the Five-tooth Warships and the assistance of the Iron Sheet Boats, do you believe that the caravan of the Tang Dynasty can reach Heiyi in only one month? Do you believe it? "
"Furthermore, do you know what's on the other side of the sea?"
At this moment, Li Shimin's mind was already a mess.
One month!
Half a year!
This …
This …
He finally remembered some things from the previous dynasty.
Emperor Yang of Sui was preparing to establish maritime trade, which was the Maritime Silk Road.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such things had already existed. Even in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even the previous dynasties, why didn't he think of it?
He had always been thinking about how to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous, but why did he forget about this?
At this moment, he could not help but recall the Silk Road on the Sea that he had seen in the secret history. He had actually forgotten about all of this …
Li Shimin's face was burning.
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin who was lost in thought and did not say anything.
He knew that Li Shimin was now enlightened.
After all, these things were things that even the ancestors knew. It was understandable that a small businessman like Lao Li did not remember.
However, the Emperor must also be preparing for this at this time!
In this matter, he only played the role of adding fuel to the fire. The one who really made this matter have a real effect was the Emperor!
He believed that the Emperor must have thought of this point.
It was only a matter of time.
After all, even if the Emperor did not remember, he still had someone by his side, Wei Zheng.
He also had Zhangsun Wuji, who was smarter than a monkey. He even had Fang Mou and Du Duan. How could Li Shimin not know these things?
Now that he had made the fuse of the Eight Rivers, and Li Shimin did not think of it, then there must be someone in the imperial court who knew about it.
The opening of Hainan Airlines was also the best solution that Zhang Feng came up with to deal with Guan Long.
You, Guan Long, are awesome. You occupied a mountain and became a king. You monopolized the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty. You are awesome! However, Lao Tzu started his business from the waterways! You can't do anything to me, right?
Moreover, the Emperor has the most awesome five-tooth warship of this era. He also has Lao Tzu's iron sheet boat. If you have the ability, you can go too!
Lao Tzu's iron sheet boat can't kill you!
In fact, he was doing this to save his own life.
After all, he had caused too many things in the past. Moreover, he was in Chang 'an City where crooks mixed in with honest folk. Although his appearance was inconspicuous now, as long as Guan Long wanted to find out the manufacturing method of the official salt and his information, it would be as simple as crushing an ant!
Even if he did not make a move now, when he went to the imperial court, Guan Long would make a move on him!
This was why Zhang Feng was not willing to enter the imperial court in the beginning. Instead, he had to wait for that broken system to be activated!
He could not afford to offend those people!
Moreover, it was in this era where human life was cheaper than a dog's.
Therefore, he needed to borrow some people's hands to help him get rid of the obstacles before he entered the imperial court.
It was also at this time that Li Shimin took a deep breath. Without saying anything, he stood up excitedly and bowed.
"Brother Zhang Feng, you are the living Zhuge!"
"Lao Li, I admire you!"
"Don't, don't, don't!"
Zhang Feng waved his hand.
"Zhuge, I said that he is my disciple! Moreover, this is something that I must do. Think about it, with my talent, once I enter the Imperial Court, I will definitely be a thorn in the eyes of the Five Clans and Seven Wang, as well as Guan Long. A small shrimp like me, if I don't plan ahead, then when the time comes, before I even enter that place, there will only be a cup of yellow soil left! "
"But …"
Li Shimin asked doubtfully, "Although you said so, but the matter of the cooperative, isn't it also helping Guan Long's arrogance? This is something that I have never understood! "
"Sigh!"
"Lao Li, you don't understand!"
"This is a big gift from me, Zhang Feng, to them! The moment I enter the imperial court, Lao Tzu will make them spit out everything, including interest! I have a big move waiting for them! You can rest assured and do your business! "
"…"
