The original Tuyuhun Palace.
In the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Li Chengyuan was standing in front of the table, observing the world map that came with the " Development Gift Pack."
This world map was different from the world map in his previous life. The countries marked on it were not modern countries, but countries of this era.
For example, the Tubo, Eastern and Western Turks, and Goguryeo near the Great Tang, as well as the Sassanid Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire in the west.
Li Chengyuan examined every empire, dynasty, or city-state on the map.
He was thinking about where to develop after the Tuyuhun people completely belonged to the Great Zhou.
Looking at the large and small plates surrounding the Great Tang on the map, a phrase that was commonplace in modern times appeared in Li Chengyuan's mind.
The countryside surrounded the city!
On the map, the Great Tang was like a massive city.
On his border, other than the Eastern and Western Turks and Tuyuhun, the Great Tang was bordered by a few small countries.
perhaps
Li Chengyuan's eyes lit up. Perhaps he could imitate the countryside surrounding the city in his previous life, continuously taking down small countries to surround the Great Tang, and then take back the Great Tang!
This way, whether it was attacking the Great Tang, they would be able to send troops from all directions.
Or perhaps, after they recaptured the Great Tang, the Great Zhou would have an even vaster territory!
These were all top-notch choices!
After Li Chengyuan confirmed the direction, he said,"Men! Zhuge Liang is summoned to the palace!"
The white-robed guard responded and left.
Not long after, Zhuge Liang rushed into the palace. He looked at Li Chengyuan and said respectfully,""Your Majesty!"
Li Chengyuan waved his hand." No need for formalities. I have something important to discuss with Mister Xuan in the palace today!"”
Zhuge Liang subconsciously straightened his back and asked seriously,""May I ask what's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"It's about the future strategic development of the Great Zhou!" Li Chengyuan smiled.”
"I don't understand," Zhuge Liang asked.
Li Chengyuan pointed at the map on the table and waved at Zhuge Liang."Sir, I've looked at the map and believe that the Great Zhou can annex the surrounding small countries and achieve the goal of"
Zhuge Liang leaned forward and listened carefully to Li Chengyuan's explanation.
Li Chengyuan also shared some of his own views on how the countryside had surrounded the cities in his previous life.
After a long time, Zhuge Liang held his breath and frowned.""Your Majesty! This method seemed to be very clever, but if one was slightly careless, it was easy to affect the whole body! The people's hearts might be affected!"
Then, Zhuge Liang said,""Moreover, this requires a great deal of national strength. The Eastern and Western Turks aren't easy to fight!”
Li Chengyuan nodded." Of course I know. Then do you think the Great Zhou can support such a war?" What did the people of Tuyuhun think of the Great Zhou?”
Hearing Li Chengyuan's two questions, Zhuge Liang's furrowed brows relaxed.
He shook his feather fan and said with some admiration and excitement,"Your Majesty's various divine items are too good! Many of the Tuyuhun people began to change their views of the Great Zhou. If the potatoes that His Majesty mentioned were really so high-yield, they would be able to sustain the war!”
"Then it must be that high!" Li Chengyuan smiled faintly.”
Instantly, Zhuge Liang became excited again. Even his facial expression was a little exaggerated.
He could not help but think of the changes in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the seven days after Li Chengyuan took over.
It was indestructible and highly sticky cement!
A curved shaft plow with outstanding effects that greatly saved farming power!
There were also methods of extracting white salt, techniques of making white sugar, and even more sophisticated techniques of smelting and forging iron.
These things took effect quickly and greatly improved the living standards of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Other than that, there were also new paper-making techniques, movable type printing, alphabets, radical, and even a dictionary.
These things could make the knowledge level of the Great Zhou citizens stronger with each generation, and in the future, they could continuously supply talents to the Great Zhou Imperial Court.
Zhuge Liang, who had experienced the lack of talent, naturally knew the importance of talent.
Of course, there were still some doubts.
For example, the high-quality wheat that His Majesty had mentioned could be produced at a yield of 500 kilograms per mu, the rice could be produced at a yield of 5000 kilograms per mu, and even the sweet potatoes and potatoes could be produced at a yield of 5000 kilograms per mu.
These were all divine items that he did not even dare to imagine!
If it was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, anyone who had this grain would definitely be able to surpass the Wei Dynasty and unify the Central Plains!
However…
Were these things really that powerful?
Zhuge Liang was doubtful.
There was also the cotton that His Majesty insisted on planting in large quantities. Although the yield per mu was not much, it was a divine item that could resist the cold. When it was filled in hemp clothes, it could have an extremely strong cold resistance effect.
Moreover, it could also be made into cotton clothes and so on.
Whether it was Zhuge Liang, Wei Zheng, Su Dingfang, or the Tuyuhun people responsible for planting.
They could not believe it.
However, with the cement and other pearls in front of them, they had a trace of hope!
If it was really that powerful, it might only be half as powerful as what His Majesty said!
The Great Zhou would also become the most powerful country in the Western Regions!
Li Chengyuan looked at Zhuge Liang's changing expression and did not say anything.
He knew how ridiculous sweet potatoes and potatoes were in ancient times, so he didn't explain much. When the things were grown, they would only be shocked.
At that time, the Great Zhou would truly begin to surpass the Great Tang!
Thinking of this, Li Chengyuan was puzzled.
It had been so long. He had even taken down Tuyuhun and announced to the world that the Great Zhou had established a country.
Why didn't Li Shi Min react at all?
Could it be that he had really given up on capturing him, or even Zhangsun Wugou?
Li Chengyuan frowned and thought for a moment, but he quickly denied this conclusion.
In history, the love story between Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wugou was praised by the world.
Li Er, that dog thief, could not let him go. He might be planning some kind of plan, a plan to directly wipe out the Great Zhou!
Immediately!
Li Chengyuan's expression turned serious. He said seriously,"Light! Leave the palace immediately and have Su Dingfang send a pair of white-robed scouts to the border. I feel that the Great Tang will not sit still and wait for death!”
Zhuge Liang also woke up from his memories. He heard Li Chengyuan's words and naturally knew the seriousness of it. He even felt that the Emperor's guess was true.
He quickly nodded and said,"I'll do it now!"”
Li Chengyuan watched Zhuge Liang leave and his eyes darkened.
Li Er, you'd better not lead the army personally!
Otherwise, there would be no return!
