World Map, Li Shimin's Ambition
Yes, it was!
Su Muyang had taken out a world map of the early Great Tang!
Naturally, the two countries needed to gain benefits from establishing diplomatic relations.
It was not as simple as just a name.
On Earth, there could be economic and trade cooperation between two countries.
But what about in another time and space?
What about the historical world?
What did they need from the Dragon Country?
When they were in the Dragon Country, the think tank had repeatedly discussed it.
The final conclusion was:
The greatest value of a historical world to the Dragon Country was its mineral resources!
One had to know that although the Dragon Country was vast in territory and rich in resources.
However, due to the rapid development of the economy, there was still a huge shortage of mineral resources.
Take our most common oil and natural gas as an example.
In recent years, the dependence of the Dragon Country's oil on foreign countries had exceeded 70%!
In other words, more than 70% of the oil consumed by the Dragon Country every year came from imported oil.
Not only oil, but natural gas's dependence on foreign countries also exceeded 40%.
Of course, this does not mean that we do not have oil and natural gas.
It's because we can't drain the pond and use our own things.
What about our future generations?
Therefore, many oil fields were sealed.
At least he had a certain amount of reserves.
In many aspects, we still have a huge shortage.
For example, we are in a shortage of oil, uranium, iron, mn, aluminum, tin, lead, ni, antimonium, and gold.

These were all things that needed to be considered in advance.
Our original plan was to import as soon as possible.
Reduce the mining and use of their own minerals.
But now, a new great opportunity had appeared!
The world of history!
In ancient times, the ancients 'understanding and utilization of mineral resources.
In the eyes of modern people, it was so low that it made one's hair stand on end!
Since you can't use it, then let us use it.
Anyway, we have a mutually beneficial partnership.
The most important thing was…
"With the support of the Dragon Country behind the scenes, if you don't take down the entire world, will you be able to face us?
At that time, all the mineral resources in the world would benefit the Dragon Country!
Therefore, even though Su Muyang's System Space was limited, he still stored the world maps of the various dynasties.
Today, Su Muyang had taken out the world map.
It wasn't to let Li Shi Min know how big the world was.
It was to stimulate his ambition!
.................................
"World map?"
This name stunned everyone in Taiji Palace.
Su Muyang asked as he slowly unfolded the map.
"Everyone, I would like to ask you a question.”
"What is east of the Great Tang?"
"What is west of the Great Tang?"
"What's south of the Great Tang?"
"What's north of the Great Tang?"
Everyone in Taiji Palace was stunned.
After a moment, Zhangsun Wuji probed.
"To the east of the Great Tang is the boundless sea.”
"To the west of the Great Tang is Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Jialiangyi. Further west is Tubo.”
"To the south of the Great Tang, not far from the sea, is the Liuqiu Nation.”
"To the north of the Great Tang is the steppe of the Eastern Turks."
"Wrong!" Su Muyang interrupted him rudely.
Su Muyang opened the world map.
He pointed at the map and said loudly.
"The vastness of this world is far beyond your imagination.”
"Everyone, please take a look!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the world map.
Li Shi Min jumped up and exclaimed.
"Great Tang!"
"Our Great Tang is only this small?!”
Not only him, but everyone else was stunned.
Since ancient times, the Central Plains had always been the center of the world.
It was also the only big country in China.
The rest were just small countries.
And today, someone was telling them that the Great Tang was only a small part of it?
Su Muyang nodded and said calmly.
"As of now, the Great Tang's territory covers an area of 3.4 million square kilometers.”
"It's about one forty-fourth of the world's land mass.”
" This doesn't include the area of the ocean."
"If we count all of them, the Great Tang is only one in a hundred and fifty.”
What was that?
Everyone was stunned.
Although he did not know what was going on with this square kilometer.
But a tenth? 1%?
Was this world so big?
For a moment, the entire Taiji Palace was silent.
There was only the sound of heavy breathing.
After a long time, Li Shi Min finally opened his mouth.
"Is this world so big?”
"Yes, I am!" Su Muyang nodded, his voice full of emotion.
"This world is far bigger than you and I can imagine.”
"Although the Great Tang can be considered powerful in the world, it is not large in size.”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up as he spoke first.
"High Ambassador, you said that the Great Tang is considered powerful in the world?”
"Not bad." Su Muyang nodded and said calmly.
"Although the Central Plains has been at war for many years, and our national strength has been exhausted.”
"However, the people are hardworking. It's not difficult for them to regain their prosperity.”
"In some places, the soil is fertile, the weather is good, and the rice ripens three times in one season.”
"You can casually throw a handful of seeds and harvest countless grains without watering them.”
"Therefore, these people are lazy and are no different from fat pigs.”
"There are even some places where there is gold and silver everywhere, but the people's wisdom has not been awakened.”
"Not to mention establishing an empire, they are even barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood.”
"If we really count, there are not many experts in this world.”
"Other than the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, no one can contend with the Great Tang."
Su Muyang said casually.
However, the eyes of many people in Taiji Palace grew brighter and brighter.
Even his breathing was getting heavier.
