Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

235 Chapter 247

"America, it's indeed a good place to go, but it's still too far away, and it's not convenient to visit relatives."

After pondering for a while, Zuo Qian shook his head, "We are a family after all, even if we share one branch, I still count on them to help each other."

"Then what do you think is appropriate?" Zuo Ming also felt that what he said seemed reasonable, nodded, and then asked.

"Let's take Jiannan Road. It's open to traffic now. It's like spring all the year round. It's a place to settle down."

After pondering for a while again, Zuo Qian said.

"You can choose a place, but there is no high-end industry there now, and there will be no development in a short time. At most, I will give him a garment factory."

Jiannan Shuzhong is indeed a good place, but Anyi is not entirely beneficial, so Zuo Ming said hesitantly.

"What I value is its backwardness. Like Chang'an, Yangzhou, and Suzhou, the markets in these places are all taken up by some big households. How much money can our family get when we go there?"

Smiling lightly, Zuo Qian said without hesitation.

"Alright then! It's up to you. Later, you ask him to visit the palace, and I'll ask Zuo Lengchan to take care of it for you."

Now that Zuo Qian had already thought it over, Zuo Ming didn't say anything more, just nodded his head, put his mind down, and the two played chess.

After living in Zuo Qian's house for more than ten days, Zuo Ming returned to Chang'an and came to Wang Gui's mansion.His old father-in-law is also a long-lived person. At such an advanced age, he actually took a concubine, which really left Zuo Ming speechless to the extreme.

But that girl was willing, so Zuo Ming couldn't say much.

In fact, Wang Gui also knew that the woman was after his family status and money, but he didn't necessarily want her sincerity.Anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

This is also the early death of Wang Siyan's mother, and there is no mistress in his huge house, so this thought came into being.

After visiting the father-in-law, Zuo Ming went to Tubo again and visited the Tubo palace.Of course, this time he brought the whole family with him.

Speaking of which, Li Yueying hadn't been back to Tubo for a long time. When she came back this time, seeing the dense but orderly buildings of all kinds, she burst into laughter.

It was the first time Zuo Ming saw her smiling so happily, and there was a burst of guilt in his heart for no reason.

In fact, he didn't restrict the freedom of the wives, basically they could go wherever they wanted, but Li Yueying was a little too introverted, even if she was homesick, she just kept it in her heart and didn't want to say it out.

Songtsan Gampo was overjoyed when his younger sister and brother-in-law came to visit, and immediately brought 36 princesses and 72 princesses to pay their respects.

Looking at his big family, Zuo Ming felt really overwhelmed.

Songtsan Gampo has been obsessed with making people since he had no intention of power, and the women he married really covered the entire Southeast Asia. Among them, Zuo Ming even found a Caucasian woman, and she was particularly tall, enough to It's half as high as Zuoming's head!

After Songtsan Gampo's introduction, Zuo Ming knew that the woman was a Rakshasa, whom he met when he accompanied Li Yin to fight against Ashina a few years ago.

Originally, Alice and Anne were very happy to meet a Caucasian woman, but when they found out that she was a Rakshasa, their interest suddenly lost.

Although they are all white, they are fundamentally different.At least linguistically, they belong to two languages.But now that everyone speaks Chinese, there are not so many divisions.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that your Kingdom of God has gained a firm foothold in North America, but South America has not set foot in it. Is this true?"

After welcoming Zuo Ming's family into the mansion, Songtsan Gampo asked straightforwardly.

Now this matter has become a hot topic in Datang, because with more and more immigrants from North America, Zuo Ming has stepped up the screening of immigrants. Now if he wants to get a quota for immigrants, it is Biden God is still difficult.

"I have to eat one bite at a time. Although I have established a firm foothold in North America, how vast is North America? How can such a large territory be controlled in just a few years or even decades? The reason why I The reason why I dare to let the descendants of my Great Tang emigrate to North America is precisely because I have enough confidence to ensure their safety. If this is not the case, I will definitely not do so.

how?Uncle has an idea? "

Taking a sip of the tea, Zuo Ming smiled lightly.

"What can I think? Isn't this tired of staying in Tubo? Our family doesn't talk about two different languages, but you can talk about it. If I go there to open a mansion, will it be difficult?"

First he denied it, and then Songtsan Gampo said in a low voice with a flash of expression.

"Brother! What are you thinking! If there are no thousands of troops in that place, it will be dangerous! The reason why Xianggong can gain a foothold there is still relying on the power of the Kingdom of God. How many people can you bring over thousands of miles away? It’s not allowed to destroy any big clan in the North someday. Don’t go!”

Li Yueying, who was chatting with a group of women at the side, heard the words of Songtsan Gampo and Zuo Ming with a flick of her ears.She was really annoyed by Songtsan Gampo's stillness and thoughtfulness.

His father-in-law dared to run around the world because he was immortal, but what did Songtsan Gampo have?The strong body in the early years has already begun to gain weight, and it is still the same thing whether the bow can be moved or not. If you go to America to fight the world, isn't that sending you to death?
"Go, go! Women don't care about men's affairs!"

Seeing Li Yueying coming to interrupt, Songtsan Gampo immediately said angrily.He has been thinking about this for a long time, and he has never dared to tell Zuo Ming. Today, Zuo Ming came to visit his relatives, which was his great opportunity. He didn't want to let his sister interfere.

"What is a man's thing!? This is my husband! If you are really capable, don't ask me to be your husband!"

Li Yueying was quite dissatisfied with Songtsan Gampo's machismo, so she put her hands on her hips and said.That savage appearance does not have the slightest trace of the little follower back then.

Songtsan Gampo sighed secretly.He had heard people say that women who entered the Tang Palace would always be superior to others, but he didn't quite believe it, but now that he saw his own sister, he understood the true meaning of that sentence.

To put it simply, these women are all spoiled.If Li Yueying dared to talk to him like this in the early years, he would have slapped him.But it's different now, with Zuo Ming, no one would dare to hurt them at all.

"Okay, okay! This matter is not as serious as you think. If my uncle really wants to establish a country in South America, it is not impossible. Right now, the Destiny Tribe under my hand has an island that can be yours. The original base, which I call Cuba, is just between South America and North America, but because it is close to the equator, it is summer all year round, very hot.”

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were in a hurry, Zuo Ming quickly intervened.

"Master!"

Zuo Ming let go, Songtsan Gampo was overjoyed, while Li Yueying frowned slightly and acted coquettishly.

"It doesn't matter! Since I let my uncle go there, I can guarantee his safety." After speaking, Zuo Ming pointed to the map of America that Songtsan Gampo deliberately hung in the hall.

"Did you see that narrow strip? Cuba is on the east side of this bay, close to our country's Nanming Road. It can be attacked and defended. As long as my uncle doesn't lead the war himself, there shouldn't be much danger. Yes. But my brother will settle accounts clearly, my country of God can provide you with manpower and material resources, but these will be counted as gold coins and recorded in your account. When you gain a firm foothold in South America, you will need to use them Equivalent minerals or slaves in exchange."

"Naturally! I, Songtsan Gampo, am not an iron rooster who can only get in and out! Later, you ask the shipping company to give me a hundred [-]-meter ocean-going ships, and I will pay you another [-]% of the cost. What do you think?"

Songtsan Gampo showed joy, patted his chest and said, but then took advantage of Zuo Ming.

In the current Datang, if the cost of a ship is increased by [-]%, it can only buy a bow at most.This fellow did not consider the technical cost of Zuoming Shipyard at all.

In order to develop an excellent engine, Zuo Ming's investment is not small, there are as many as ten research laboratories alone.The food and clothing expenses of these people have to be deducted from the income of selling ships, so it is not as simple as selling iron at all.

Li Yueying was also quite speechless about her brother's shamelessness, "Brother! You have really disgraced our family. Could it be that our Tubo Palace can't afford the money for these ships?"

"What do you know? This is called the price of relatives and friends! If I buy it at the market price, won't it seem that I am estranged from my brother-in-law? At that time, outsiders will definitely say that you are not favored in the palace. I am doing this for your own good!"

After glancing at Li Yueying, Songtsan Gampo said with a natural expression.

Hearing this, Zuo Ming also laughed.Songtsan Gampo can speak so confidently about taking advantage.

"Brother Uncle is right! In order to reflect the importance of you in my heart, I will give these one hundred ships to Brother Uncle! As a family, talking about money hurts feelings!"

Seeing that Li Yueying was going to be furious, Zuo Ming laughed immediately.But as he spoke, he took Li Yueying's hand and added in a low voice, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law! When your brother goes to South America, we will have a lot of opportunities to earn back with interest." After finishing speaking, He blinked at Li Yueying.

The price of a hundred ships is not low, and it is enough to buy a large island in Tokaido.Songtsan Gampo wanted to take advantage of Zuo Ming, but how could Zuo Ming be someone to mess with?

Li Yueying, who was still full of anger at first, heard this, and suddenly remembered that Zuo Ming's Yan was broken, so she turned off the fire immediately, and then looked at her elder brother with a strange expression.

Since Zuo Ming said this, he must be ready to kill Songtsan Gampo fiercely.But Songtsan Gampo still looked complacent at this time, which was really funny and pitiful.
