I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

In other words... Datang will receive more than 1000 million in money and materials within one and a half years.

A year and a half...

The Ministry of Accounts has never made such a rich account.

Tang Jian stood aside, smiling so much that his eyebrows almost reached his towering hairline, he was so satisfied with Yin Lulu, he knew very well what the imperial court meant by asking her to come forward now.

He has no problem at all.

Whoever is willing to take over a department like the household department that works overtime and can't sleep all night will take over - troublesome, many things, and heavy responsibilities, although the prospects are good.

But Tang Jian has never been a person who is diligent in government affairs. He has been scolded by Li Shimin not once or twice because of his laziness and laziness.

Credit?

Tang Jian has already earned enough credit for such things. Even if he is so slack, he is also on the list in the Lingyan Pavilion that His Majesty is planning to make.

Love someone.

He had wanted to be like Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin for a long time, quit his job, and spent every day in the Tongfu restaurant waiting to die.

Even if His Majesty doesn't have the intention, after this matter is settled, he will take the initiative to speak up and leave the position to Yin Lulu.

Young people, with vigor, ability, and background, she is a perfect fit.

Waiting for the people from the household department to write down the roster one by one, a few people did the math, and the total was 710 million guns. Three of the Hairuo class were sold, and thirteen of the Tianwu class were sold.

It is obviously the second-tier Qixiang class, but it only sold one more ship than the Tianwu class. The cheapest Xiangjun class ship sold 89 ships.

In other words... In half a year, Datang will benefit from 810 million guan.

More than 800 million guan...

Although these foreign envoys paid a lot of money, their faces were also beaming. The future is bright and bright.

But... this matter is not over yet.

Li Zhi, who had been silent for several days, finally spoke: "Alright, we've finished talking about the maritime affairs and ships."

"Next, let me say something."

The whispered discussions among the foreign envoys gradually subsided. They looked at this ordinary man, who could represent the Great Tang, what else were they going to say?
"Great unity under heaven has always been a dream of my Han people."

Li Zhi spoke slowly, his tone was calm, and he could even hear some nervousness.

"Now, this kind of thing is more and more possible to realize in the hands of my generation... This is also a challenge for me, Datang."

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, so how to govern it has become a huge problem."

Everyone in the room held their breath.

They could sense that this was probably a heavier topic than anything else.

"I, Datang, know a truth. Those who gain the Dao will help more than those who lose the Dao. Da Tang does not want to be a person who loses the Dao. "

It's not that I don't want to rely on force.

Rather than relying solely on force.

What Tang wanted to do was to be a big Han, a dynasty that was even bigger than a big Han and better than a big Han.

The "Han" dynasty is a very special dynasty.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, they still regarded themselves as "Han people" and were proud of the Han people.In the literary world of the Tang Dynasty, no matter which kingdom or land they came from, the first thing to learn is to swear at Hu.

Poems and songs may not include love or ambition, but there must be scolding.

Who doesn't have a few poems scolding Hu?

Li Shimin has it, the article "Drinking Horses on a Journey to the Great Wall" is just like that, but the words are not so obvious, "Walking around the Jingjing leisurely, drinking horses out of the Great Wall." It is not necessarily a compliment to Hu people.

The great man once almost made the people of this land believe in the destiny—almost thought that only the great man would last forever in the dynasty here.

after all…

Being forced into a desperate situation, there are still meteorites falling from the sky to save lives. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a fairy is helping.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was so brave because of the great man. He dared not proclaim himself emperor. Sun Quan came to persuade him and was willing to become a minister, but he still refused to admit it. He pretended to be a courtier of the great man until his death.

It's a pity that even though the Shu Han had emperor uncles and Marquis Wu, they still couldn't change their fate against the sky.

After the Great Han Dynasty, there was no such dynasty as the Great Han Dynasty.

Datang wanted to be the second one, and even... wanted to be better than Dahan.

Li Zhi's mood was a bit complicated. This matter should have been done by his father, but his father finally handed it over to himself. rule."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and let the ministers come in and hand out the prepared papers.

On this, Li Shimin and Yin Xuan, plus the pendant Yin Lulu and Li Zhi, discussed it together.

There is not much content, and there are probably only more than 100 rules and regulations.

It includes all aspects of war, trade, diplomacy, etc. The meaning of the expression is actually very simple, that is, Datang will not interfere with the independent development of these countries.

But... If there is any conflict, Datang has all the right to mediate.

In addition, it is a supplement to the tribute system.

Before that, the word "foreign minister" had always been just a concept. They paid tribute to theirs, and the Tang Dynasty developed the Tang Dynasty, and they did not interfere.

But now it does.

Foreign aggression has been a problem that has plagued this land for many years. It was not easy for Datang to quell the foreign aggression.

These foreign countries will be conferred different titles by Datang according to their national size.

And they, on occasions other than their own country, can only be called by these titles.

In addition, each country has certain restrictions on the development of the army every year, and must disclose the development and use of its own army to Datang.

Datang has... the right to conduct spot checks freely.

Everything else is fine.

The last one is almost the lifeblood of all foreign envoys - the others are all about face, similar to the previous tribute.

Only this one made the tribute fall into essence.

Datang is the suzerain, and they are the courtiers.

Whether the army is strong or not directly determines whether a country is strong or not. If even this fundamental has to be inspected and managed by others, then there is no possibility of being strong...

But refuse?

No one dared to open this mouth.

Li Zhi also seems to be weak in writing, but who in Datang looks weak in writing is really easy to bully?

Duke Zhengyang looked gentle, Yin Lulu looked gentle, and even... Li Shimin looked gentle.

But what is their nature?
It was hard for them to believe that Li Zhi was really weak.

Another hour passed, and the room was still silent.

Li Zhi raised his hand and tapped on the table lightly: "It's been so long, even if your Chinese is not good, you should understand the content above."

"How do you feel?"
