The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1807
"Then what if Wa chooses to fight?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Then fight." Xuan Shijing said: "Until the Shimane Prefecture is taken."

You must know that Shimane prefecture opened silver mines in later generations, and it was opened for hundreds of years. Only that one silver mine accounted for one-third of the world's silver mass production when its mass production was the highest.

The Celestial Dynasty prides itself on its large land and rich resources, but there is no silver mine that is so easy to mine and has such a large output. Even if there is a silver mine of this scale, it cannot be mined with the technology of this era, and it can only be used as a reserve resource.

Anyway, what Xuan Shijing means is that all the things in his family are left to future generations. As for now, Datang has the ability to bring the things he needs into his house from other places. Mine, and it is almost in hand, there is no reason to give up.

Tubo Dading in the west, and the entire Silla territory in the east were also incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Who else can the Wa Kingdom ask for?
It can be said that there are no countries around that can support the Wa country.

The entire Hebei Road, Liaodong, and the Wa country across the sea are still some tribes in the north, such as the Mohe tribe and the Yulou tribe. These tribes are now attached to the Tang Dynasty, including the island to the north of the Wa kingdom, which is the Ku in the north of later generations. On Page Island, the Grotto Department attached to Datang lives on it.

Even if the Wa country wanted to ask for help, no one would help them. To help them would be to offend Datang. This matter was first provoked by the Wa country. It's not good.

The matter about the silver mine in the country of Wa was originally mentioned by Xuan Shijing with His Majesty Li Er. Now the decision maker behind this war is Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian has inherited this wish from His Majesty Li Er, and wants to get that silver mine Used by Datang.

Now Li Chengqian asked Xuan Shijing this question, and Xuan Shijing's attitude was also quite firm. Taking this opportunity, he had to take down this silver mine in the country of Wa. If it was taken down, Datang would benefit immensely.

If it can't be taken down, then the manpower and material resources spent by the Datang navy in the war in the country of Wa will be in vain.

"Nowadays, most of the ministers in the DPRK and China are writing letters to persuade the palace, and they will accept it when they see it." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness never told them about the silver mine?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Only a few important ministers in the three provinces know about it, but most of the shouters are from Yushitai, and there are also some ministers from other places." Li Chengqian said.

"As long as the adults in the three provinces understand the way of doing this, it's enough that they don't object to His Highness doing so. After the matter is over, those clamoring people will naturally understand His Highness' intentions." Xuan Shijing said.

Regarding the matter of Yinshan, it is better not to let too many people know for the time being. If they know, it will probably end the same as the matter of the bank, and the family will still intervene.

Although the royal family is in control of the bank now, it is inevitable that it will be infiltrated by the family. Although the royal family has not acted, it is strict with the inside and outside of the bank. Li Chengqian remembered how many benefits he had gained. After the Baiqisi people withdrew from the east and west lines, they did not stay in Chang'an, but were scattered in various places in the Tang Dynasty.

The development of the bank was for the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also for the sake of the economy of the Tang Dynasty that the Tang Dynasty oppressed the Wa Kingdom. Whether it was Li Chengqian or His Majesty Li Er, they both valued it so much, so how could they let the aristocratic family continue to do whatever they wanted?
"It's useless to talk too much now, let's go, let's go to the father and mother to discuss the matter of wool." Li Chengqian has not forgotten the question Xuan Shijing raised before meeting the Japanese envoy.

If the matter of wool is handled properly, then the grasslands in the north of Datang will have no worries. As Xuan Shijing said, the lifeline of the grasslands in the north will be firmly in the hands of Datang.

"Okay." Xuan Shijing nodded.

The two came out of the Xuanzheng Hall and went straight to the palace where Empress Changsun lived in the harem.

After the eunuch outside the palace reported, Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing saw Empress Changsun, and sure enough, they also saw Her Majesty Li Er in Empress Changsun's palace.

"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen the Empress." Xuan Shijing bowed his hands.

"I send my respects to my father and queen mother."

"It's all from my own family, so there's no need to be polite." His Majesty Li Er said: "It's rare that Jing'er still remembers to see me and the queen after returning from the Anbei Protectorate."

Xuan Shijing said that he also wanted to see His Majesty Li Er, but His Majesty Li Er didn't see his foreign ministers. All the affairs of the court were handed over to Li Chengqian. The whole Tang Dynasty knew about it. Xuan Shijing came to see His Majesty Li Er again ,what is this?
Of course, in addition to being a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, Xuan Shijing is also the son-in-law of the Tian family.

"Father, mother, Xiao Jing came to the palace today, and asked the child to bring him to see the father and mother. There is also one thing, and I want to ask the mother for help." Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing looked at each other and said.

"Ask me to help?" Empress Changsun looked at His Majesty Li Er who was sitting beside her, and asked in confusion, "What can I help you with?"

"Xiao Jing, tell me." Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing nodded, and repeated what he had just said to Li Chengqian in the Xuanzheng Palace.

"If this can be done, then the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty will have no worries." His Majesty Li Er squinted his eyes and stroked his beard and said, "Maid Guanyin, you might as well give it a try."

Empress Changsun came forward to this matter. Even if it failed, there would be no harm to Empress Changsun, but if it succeeded, the benefits to Datang would be huge. Moreover, the students of the Engineering College had already succeeded in the experiment, so the probability of failure , almost none, as long as there is enough wool, it is not difficult to promote it to the entire Datang.

"Well, the concubine listens to His Majesty." Empress Changsun said.

"In addition, how many people know about this improved loom?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

It was related to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing were also found in the harem. His Majesty Li Er didn't care too much, and asked for detailed information about this matter.

"For the time being, only the students of the Engineering College know that the improved loom is now also in the Engineering College." Xuan Shijing said.

"Can you keep the rumors under control?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty, if this business is specially entrusted to the royal family, it is possible, but if the finished product made of wool wants to cover the entire Tang Dynasty, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can use it, I am afraid that only relying on the power of the royal family It's not enough." Xuan Shijing said.
