Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 236 Chapter 248
After staying in Tubo for more than ten days, Zuo Ming returned to Chang'an, and then began to prepare for the march into South America.But before that, he entered the palace again.And he came here for nothing else, just to choose one of Li Chengqian's princes to bring to America.

Zuo Ming thought about it. It was not his long-cherished wish to be the emperor of a country. It was just forced by the situation at the time. What he wanted to do was to stay in Tōkaidō, draw manga, crow the sun, and enjoy himself with a few wives. happy.Anyway, he has inexhaustible money now, and he is almost invincible in this world.You don't need something like power to defend yourself.

Zuo Ming is now the spiritual pillar of Datang, because so far, all the novel things that have appeared in the world are from Zuo Ming, and the textbooks in the college are also compiled by Zuo Ming. In the eyes of everyone, Zuo Ming is an omnipotent existence.

Many people call him "Zuo Sheng", while others call him "Great Master of Gewu" or "Great Patriarch of Gewu".

As far as Zuo Ming is concerned, the title "Zuo Sheng" is too stressful, and "Great Master of Gewu" even described him as an old man in his seventies and eighties, which is not satisfactory, so Zuo Ming said bluntly to the outside world. Just call him "The Master".

Although even with this title, Zuo Ming deserves to be ashamed, but it doesn't sound so awkward after all.

When he heard that Zuo Ming was going to pass the Kingdom of God to his son, Li Chengqian couldn't say how excited he was.Although he didn't say anything in the past, he was still a little worried in his heart that God would end up being too big, but now, Zuo Ming gave him a very satisfactory answer.He believed that even Li Shimin would feel excited when he heard the news.

That is the Kingdom of God!The Kingdom of God spanning the entire American continent!Its power is actually not much different from that of Datang!The most important thing is that the Kingdom of God hangs alone overseas, and there are no foreign enemies at all.

It is definitely quite easy for such a country to develop and grow.

"I'm going to call those bastards over here!"

With a hint of excitement, Li Chengqian said, and quickly asked Zhao Si to recruit a few princes.

Although Li Chengqian married late, he had a son early on. His first child was named Li Xiang, and he got it when he was 16 years old.Now he has grown into a handsome young man.Although he was a concubine, he inherited Li Chengqian's temperament and calmness.

Li Chengqian's second son was named Li Rong, who was born to the concubine, the fake Dawa. He is almost 12 years old today. Although he looks a little immature, his eyes are already sharp.This kid probably knew his mother's identity a long time ago, so he was very self-reliant.He doesn't want people to gossip about his queen mother because of his lack of progress. Of course, he hopes to make his mother's position more stable through his own efforts.

As for the third son, Doctor Li, it is even more special. Although he is also a concubine like Li Xiang, he is a descendant of a famous family.The most important thing is that the Su family is still a cousin of the Wang family, and has some relationship with Zuo Ming.

Next is the last son, this guy is amazing, his name is Li Jun, he is Hou Junji's grandson!Today, when Li Jing, Qin Shubao, and Xu Shiji have passed away one after another, Hou Junji can be said to have become the pillar of the new generation of Tang Dynasty. He is old and old, but he is brave. He and Cheng Yaojin guard Lu Zhenla and Caspian Sea respectively!
With such a grandfather, this kid is naturally not a quiet master. I heard that before Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he had already laid a good foundation in civil service with a good poem and good article.

With such four princes with towering foreheads, it's no wonder that Li Chengqian couldn't decide who to be the prince for so long.

"Nephew Li Xiang/Li Rong/Li Doctor/Li Jun, meet Uncle Tang Wang!"

Although they don't know why Zuo Ming summoned them, they dare not neglect this person who even called Li Chengqian "Big Brother", so they all salute when they see Zuo Ming.

Li Xiang and Li Rong are fine, but Doctor Li and Li Jun have been secretly looking at Zuo Ming.They were very curious. According to legend, this Uncle Tang Wang was only three years older than their father, but his appearance seemed to be more than a generation younger than Li Chengqian.

——Could it be that he is really an immortal existence like in the legend?

Now the fact of Zuo Ming's immortality is known to almost everyone, but there are still many people who don't believe it, thinking that it is just a legend fabricated by the people.The only ones who really understand the facts are the ministers of the older generation. It’s just that those old guys died, and those who didn’t died went home to enjoy the blessings and kept secret about Zuo Ming, so even in the royal family, there are many people I don't believe that Zuo Ming is really immortal.

"Free gift!"

With a slight smile and one hand, Zuo Ming asked them to stand up, and then looked at them carefully.

"Brother! How is it? Which one do you think is suitable?"

After a while, Li Chengqian asked impatiently.He really wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have a stone hanging in his heart.

"I have a question for the four of you. If I gave each of you a thousand subordinates and asked you to go to South America to work hard, where would you start, or how would you start?"

Without responding to Li Chengqian, Zuo Ming asked those four people with flickering expressions.

"I will wipe out a tribe with lightning speed, and then use this as a foundation to build a large number of fortifications and radiate around."

Li Rong was the first to answer Zuo Ming. He seemed to be in a hurry to show off, even disregarding the order of seniority.

Looking at him deeply, Li Chengqian's eyes flashed a faint disappointment, while Zuo Ming nodded slightly, and then turned to Li Xiang who kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking, "Xiang'er, What about you? How would you start?"

"If there are only 1000 people, my nephew should find a remote place to settle down first, and then quietly observe the surrounding tribes. Unite the weak and fight against the strong, and eventually both will be annexed."

After hesitating for a while, Li Xiang pursed his lips and said.

"Then how long do you think it will take you to get a decent piece of land?"

Still nodded slightly, Zuo Ming continued to ask.

"It can be as short as ten years, or as long as 20 years. My nephew can win a Tokaido!"

After pondering for a while again, Li Xiang said.

As soon as he said this, the other three princes all laughed.Obviously, they all felt that this progress was too slow.

"It took ten years to build such a small place? Don't you think it's too late?"

Zuo Ming also frowned slightly, and said.

"Slow is slow, but steady! In my nephew's humble opinion, in a situation where there are no relatives and no relatives, too large a territory will create too many uncertain factors. Only those who exist can be qualified to compete. If you can’t survive, how can you expand your territory?”

Seeing Zuo Ming frowning, a trace of stubbornness flashed across Li Xiang's face.

After hearing this, Zuo Ming finally nodded slightly, and Li Chengqian even had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Datang has no shortage of enterprising people at all, except for this conservative king, who has never been. But right now, he obviously has a pretty good candidate.

For Li Xiang's words, Li Rong was somewhat disapproving.He felt that his eldest brother was too weak and incompetent, facing those unarmed savages, he didn't even have the determination and ability to lay down a Tokaido within five years.

"Yi'er, what about you? How would you start?"

Seeing everyone's expressions and performances, Zuo Ming turned to the third doctor Li again.

"My nephew thinks 1000 people are not enough..."

Doctor Li shrunk his head, then said nervously.

As soon as he said this, Li Chengqian laughed, Li Xiang and Li Rong also laughed, and even the youngest Li Jun snickered there.It's just that they laughed at Doctor Li, but they didn't notice the "seriousness" flashing in Zuo Ming's eyes.

"Then how many people do you want?"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming said with a flickering expression.

"5000 people are barely enough, 1 people are a good choice. In addition, my nephew needs machines, supplies, and craftsmen. It's best to give me a hundred students who have made achievements in chemistry and physics..."

Ignoring everyone's ridicule, Doctor Li said to Zuo Ming seriously.

"Then you might as well let Uncle Tang Wang build a base for you."

Really can't stand his younger brother, Li Rong smiled directly.

"That's naturally the best. The doctor can't lift his shoulders and resist, and he has never led soldiers to fight, so he really doesn't know much about these things..." Doctor Li still looked serious.

"Hmm! You have a lot of ideas. Jun'er, how about you? I heard that you are familiar with military books. How much knowledge have you learned from them?"

Nodding his head, Zuo Ming still didn't comment, but turned to the last prince.

"Jun'er is incompetent, but he has only learned seven points. As the so-called military strategy, force can indeed make people submit temporarily, but it is not a long-term solution. If it were me, I would set up my own altar in America, through Some wonderful scientific phenomena to impress those natives. My force will only be used to make them trust my power even more, and my power will also be based on their trust in me!"

Although his mouth was very modest, Li Jun's chin was raised high.

After hearing his words, Li Chengqian also nodded.Obviously, Li Jun is copying Zuo Ming's practice in the Kingdom of God. Although this method is tricky, it is undoubtedly the most desirable method.At least, it is more secure and appropriate than Li Rong's simple conquest by force.

"Very good! I've finished asking questions, you all should leave! Don't leave Chang'an during this time, I will summon you anytime."

After listening to everyone's answers, Zuo Ming said slowly.After speaking, he and Li Chengqian walked into the cabinet, leaving the princes aside.
