Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 901 Travel Route
Wage war abroad.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the Shangshu Province in Chang'an, only Liu Mu had the right to launch the national war against Chenla as the chief ship envoy.

Su Dingfang thought that Liu Mu was still not sure of his and Hou Junji's leadership abilities, so he was hesitant.

Then, prove it to Liu Mu.

Su Dingfang believed that Hou Junji also made the same choice, and the man asked for wealth immediately.

It took Liumu half a day to resupply at Temasek, and Liumu boarded a boat and headed for the Straits of Malacca.

On the boat, Liu Mu and Dugu Lanruo talked about their conversation with Su Dingfang. Dugu Lanruo was puzzled: "Why don't you show the warrant directly? You said that Su and Hou are famous generals who are growing up, and they are next to Li Shangshu. Excellent commander."

"I can't afford to lose."

"Can't afford to lose?" Dugu Lanruo was puzzled.

Liu Mu explained: "Everyone has seen that I have the power in my hands, and the guards of my general secretary are enough to start a small national war. But none of these guys thought that if I win the war, I will go to war with the outside world." The right is still in my hands. If I lose, even if the saint doesn't blame me, I will give back the right to start the war."

"No, that's not right." Dugu Lanruo objected to Liu Mu's statement: "As a superior, you must be daring."

"Well, you are right. I still insist on this matter. At least let me see the ability of these two generals to fight independently. They only have a total of about 1000 Tang troops in their hands, and they are not the last The elite troops, the rest are [-] Japanese soldiers, let me make up my mind when I come back from Rome to see what they can do.”

This time, Dugu Lanruo agreed to Liu Mu's reason: "That's fine."

That's the end of the topic, if Dugu Lanruo didn't mention this matter again.

Dugu Lanruo said, "Why does my husband want to go to Rome?"

"Rome is just the first stop. I want to travel around the world with you in my lifetime."

"The world?" Dugu Lanruo didn't understand this word at all.

Datang, there is no such word.

Liu Mu patted his head lightly. He is not a high-achieving student majoring in Chinese, and he is only a coder in history. It seems that this word has not appeared yet.

Liu Mu explained: "The world is the world, the world. This word has been explained in Taoism, the world and so on."

"There is this word, I remember Chuci-Yufu wrote it: Everyone in the world is turbid, but I am alone; everyone is drunk, but I am sober. This is a detached person's name for ordinary people."

Liu Muxin said that it is amazing, it is indeed the result of a prestigious education.

Dugu Lanruo continued: "Jie refers to the border, the domain. The world together means the place where ordinary people live. Or it can refer to... the world."

"Yes, it is the world. The meaning of the world can be understood as all, the whole world."

"Okay." Dugu Lanruo didn't ask about the origin of the word "world", it was definitely not invented by Liu Mu, and Dugu Lanruo understands Liu Mu's language very well.

Of course, it is Dugu Lanruo's tolerance as a wife to keep some little secrets for Liu Mu.

"So, how to travel around the world?"

"It depends on how Madam wants to swim. Just being on the sea is very interesting. But if you keep going to the shore, there will be some dangers. At least there is one place on the coast that I don't want to get close to for the time being."

Dugu Lanruo asked: "Where the husband on the coast doesn't want to get close?"

"Tianzhu."

"What's the husband's suggestion?"

Liu Mu showed Dugu Lanruo a map: "This place is called Ceylon Island. It was named in Sanskrit hundreds of years ago. It should be in a period of war. The Tamils ​​and the Sangha are fighting to the death. In my eyes, it is estimated that two villages are fighting with farm tools."

"What's in here?"

"There are a lot of beautiful scenery, but it is not safe here because of the melee, but there are countless gem veins. Ceylon sapphire is the best, and Ceylon red is also top-notch."

Dugu Lanruo nodded: "Very good, you can send troops to occupy it, and make a stand for your husband to lead troops into Tianzhu in the future, not to mention the seafood, gems, and pearls here must be countless."

"Madam has good eyesight."

Willow's finger continued west, pointing to Socotra Island.

"Madam, it's worth a visit here. There are more than [-] kinds of plants that are unique to the world, especially the dragon's blood tree. The top-quality dragon's blood drops are like tears, and the value is not low. It is a medicinal material and can also be used as a dye. Of course, There is also a treasure here, probably only my husband knows about it in the world."

Seeing Liu Mu's smug expression, Dugu Lanruo smiled very happily, but still followed Liu Mu: "Then please give me your advice."

"Century-level... dragon, saliva, incense!"

After the words Ambergris came out, Dugu Lanruo was shocked.

Liu Mu added: "Walking along the beach, you can pick up at least a few hundred catties of pure white ambergris. This value is definitely the value of picking up gold."

Dugu Lanruo couldn't utter a single word in shock.

Baoqin, who sat aside and was learning how to play with the tea set, screamed, quickly ran to the door to take a look, then hurried back and closed the door tightly: "Mr. That's not bad."

Willow has never been to Socotra Island in later generations, but he has heard of it.

This island is very magical, all the plants feel like alien plants, completely different from other places on the earth, and many plants have strange effects.

But it has no development value, and it is too far away from Datang.

Willow's finger turned north: "Next here is the Red Sea. From here, go all the way north and then pass through an ancient canal. After walking for a while, you will reach the Mediterranean Sea. I have thought about it for a long time, and I don't plan to go here because I gave up my boat. It makes me uneasy."

"How does the husband plan to go?"

Dugu Lanruo looked at the charts brought back by the trading fleet, and it seemed that this was the only way.

Liu Mu quickly drew a few strokes on the sea chart, and then added a small island: "Here, Madagascar, even if there are living people, there may not be too many. This island has a very magical place, a natural spice island, Counting tens of millions of acres, there are countless rare flowers that can't be seen in the Tang Dynasty."

"Then we landed, Madam can see millions of wild bulls running wild, millions of wild horses running wild, tens of thousands of elephants, lions, leopards and other wildest beasts. I think this may be the hometown of Kunlun slaves. The gold and silver mines here can account for more than half of the world."

If Dugu Lanruo looked at Liu Mu's eyes, she might be willing to keep some little secrets for Liu Mu.

But everything she heard right now couldn't make her understand how Liu Mu knew this.

Liu Mu didn't pay attention to Dugu Lanruo's eyes, and said to himself: "There are countless woods here, especially precious woods. But there are enough in the Indochina Peninsula, it's not worth coming here to cut trees."
