Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 265 Do you think I am only for Japan?
"Your Highness, you should tell us what glass and mercury are, and how to use them to make a mirror."

"Yeah, even if you don't want to tell us, at least you have to tell us where you can get these two things."

"You've been talking for a long time, basically you haven't said anything. How can we make a mirror?"

The princes were very speechless, and Li Fu was even more speechless. He spread his hands and said, "I don't really understand this. Anyway, I have already told you how to do it. If you don't understand, then it's none of my business."

Now Li Fu has seen through this group of dukes and Li Er. They all want to be white wolves with empty hands and seek benefits from themselves. How can it be so cheap? !

[Hmph, with just such a little concentration and quality, if you want to play this game with me, there is no way! 】

[If you have the ability to grab it, I can't beat you to death. I really think that I respect the old and love the young!Go dreaming! 】

[Anyway, that’s it. I’ve told you everything. If you have glass and mercury, you can make a mirror. It’s none of my business if you can’t do it! 】

[A group of idiots who want to take advantage of me and make a lot of money by themselves, they really think the prince is stupid! 】

Li Shimin was speechless when he heard Li Fu's voice. He was sure that with glass and mercury, he could make a mirror like the one held by Princess Jinyang, but the problem was that Li Shimin didn't know where to find it.

Moreover, based on Li Shimin's understanding of Li Fu, even if he finds it himself, he may not be able to use it. When the whole thing comes out, I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing!really……

[Nimma is a bunch of idiots, if you really dare to play with mercury, be careful to kill yourself. 】

[However, mercury is really rare, but it is also very useful. It would be interesting if Zhang Sun Chong really made a mercury thermometer. 】

[When the time comes to measure body temperature and temperature, it will be very convenient. At that time, that old Sun Simiao will be useless. For diseases like fever, having it is enough. 】

[However, in comparison, glass is more practical. This is the standard building material for building a house. The windows of current houses are covered with a layer of paper or other messy things, so that there is no light in the house at all. 】

[If this is replaced by glass, and the windows are made of glass for lighting, the effect will be absolutely awesome. From now on, if you stand inside the room, you can clearly see the outside of the room, and the legendary eavesdropping and assassination scenes will never happen! 】

What?Li Fu's heartfelt thoughts fell into Li Shimin's mind, making His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty excited.

He didn't expect that mercury and glass can not only be used as mirrors, but also can be used to measure human body temperature, and can also be used as windows, so that people can see outside through the glass while standing in the room.

This is too powerful!Li Shimin looked at Li Fu, full of new trends, thinking about how to dig out the craftsmanship of these things from Li Fu's mouth.

But there were still some people who were not interested in these, such as Li Jing, Duke of Wei, who had no interest in mirrors at all. When he saw Li Shimin and all the Dukes, they were all fascinated by the mirror, forgetting the main purpose of coming today, and suddenly became angry.

He simply went directly to the topic, "His Royal Highness, may I ask you, are the eighteen sea-going ships built by you at the Penglai Shipyard intended to attack Japan?"

In a word, the whole audience became quiet, and Li Shimin and the Dukes of the state came to their senses.

Li Fu frowned, looked at Li Shimin, and said with a faint smile: "It seems that Father already knows?"

"It's a matter of military and state affairs, of course I want to know." Li Shimin admitted with a smile: "I asked Duke Ju to go, and Shen Lian has already told all about the shipyard and warships, Prince, tell Duke Wei." , are you building warships to fight Japan?"

Li Fu chuckled, "Will eighteen warships need to be sent to fight against a small country like Dongying? Duke Wei thinks highly of those little monkeys too."

"But before answering the question of Duke Wei, I have a few questions to ask Duke Wei. Duke Wei is the number one in the military and should be very sensitive to maps. So, may I ask about the far north of the Tang Dynasty? , where is it, East of Japan, where is it?"

Li Fu's sudden question stunned Li Jing immediately. He was interested in warships, but he didn't expect Li Fu to ask him about the map, and he fell into deep thought for a while.

It took a long time for Li Jing to reply: "The land of the extreme north of the Tang Dynasty should be Huihe. As for the land of the extreme east after crossing Dongying, I don't know. It should be the sea."

After hearing Li Jing's answer, the princes nodded their heads in agreement, apparently they also thought so.

But Li Fu laughed, "Duke Wei was wrong. The north of the Tang Dynasty is indeed Huihe, but what about Huihe going further north? Maybe Duke Wei doesn't know where it is?"

Li Jing didn't expect Li Fu to be so serious, but he didn't know what he was serious about, so he nodded helplessly.

Li Fu laughed again, "The land in the extreme north of the Tang Dynasty is called Siberia. It is a piece of frozen soil, but it is a lush land. It just passes through the grassland. The journey is long and the weather is bad."

"However, it will be much more convenient if you go by sea from Dongying. I'm afraid Duke Wei doesn't know that Siberia is extremely rich in mineral deposits. It has been proven that there are iron ore and copper mines. I must have heard this. Know why I want to fight Japan!"

Copper and iron ore?Hearing Li Fu's words, all the princes present became excited.

What is Datang missing now?Of course, it is resources. Both copper mines and iron mines are state-owned and government-run. Like this kind of mineral deposits, it is definitely better, and no amount is too much.

Li Fu went on to say: "As for Dongying to the east, across the sea, it is an extremely vast land. Where is the land six times larger than the current Tang Dynasty, and there are countless resources and mineral deposits, Wei Guogong, After hearing this, don't you want to go and see it?"

What?In a region that is six times larger than Datang, everyone wants to see it with their own eyes, whether what Li Fu said is true or not!
Li Shimin's eyeballs turned red immediately. What he likes most in his heart is to expand the territory, but the current territory where Datang is located does not give him enough room to play.

Now Li Fu gave him a goal, which gave him the urge to conquer.

Similarly, the princes present also have such an impulse in their hearts at the moment.

Li Fu just wanted to arouse the impulse in these people's hearts, so he continued to seduce them, "That continent has no owner yet, but there are rich mineral deposits there, and there are countless food crops that the Tang Dynasty did not have, and the yield per mu is astonishing."

"Once that area is conquered, Datang will have inexhaustible resources and food, so now, Duke Wei, do you think I built all those giant ships just for one Dongpu?"
