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

Chapter 323 Li Shimin is proud of Li Fu
"Your Majesty, the Caomin have just returned to Chang'an. Along the way, they saw inside and outside the city. The people spontaneously organized and started dredging the river. They said that His Majesty is ready to start water transportation. This is a move that benefits the country and the people. The merit will last forever. Caomin respects Your Majesty!"

Cui Daohuai gulped it down, and Li Shimin's stern face softened a little. Afterwards, the two exchanged cups and talked about water transportation, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, even Changsun Wuji and others joined in.

When the conversation was in full swing, Fang Xuanling suddenly asked a question, "Patriarch Cui, you are considered an old river and lake who has traveled all over the country for many years. Compared with the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, do you know who is longer and who is shorter?"

Which of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is long and which is short? Cui Daohuai was stunned by this question.

However, Cui Daohuai is an old Jianghu after all, and he gently exposed the matter with his own Tai Chi, "Mr. Fang's question made the grass-roots really feel ashamed. The grass-roots only know how to do business and have never paid attention to this. Presumably the court should have something to do with this matter." Let's measure it."

In a word, Fang Xuanling's face suddenly became a little ugly. He thought of asking Cui Daohuai because he didn't know, and the people below didn't do it, but he didn't expect that Cui Daohuai didn't know, so he would join him in the army!
Li Shimin glanced at Fang Xuanling, then at Cui Daohuai, raised his glass to divert the topic, and regarded it as a relief for Fang Xuanling.

And at this moment, Li Fu's voice came from Li Shimin's mind.

[The Yangtze River originated from Tubo, which is now the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the mother river of the Chinese nation! 】

[The length of the Yangtze River is more than 300 kilometers, which is more than 9000 kilometers longer than the Yellow River. Didn't the imperial court carefully survey this matter? 】

[Maybe I don’t think it’s necessary, and it’s true. They’re all a group of people watching the sky from a well. I’m afraid they all think that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are as long as the Yellow River, and they are also the longest rivers in the world. 】

[I don’t know that in this world, the length of the Yangtze River is only ranked third in the world. The Amazon River and the Congo River are longer than it, but these two rivers are not unique to one country, but only the Yangtze River is unique to our country. have! 】

Hearing Li Fu's heartfelt words, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened. The Yangtze River is so much longer than the Yellow River. How did the prince know?
And the Yangtze River is actually not the longest river in the world, there are longer rivers than it, and more than one!
But what the hell are the Amazon River and the Congo River?Where are those two rivers?From what the prince said, it seems that the two rivers are not in the same country. Could it be that there are countries in this world that the Tang Dynasty doesn't know about?

Li Shimin's mind was filled with question marks for a moment, and at this time Cui Daohuai didn't know who had touched which muscle, and suddenly sighed and said: "If there is a complete map in this world, that would be great!"

Li Shimin and others all agreed with Cui Daohuai's sudden emotion. He just felt so emotional. If he had a complete world map, then he would not have so many questions.

It's just not to mention the world map, even the map of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin himself doesn't have a complete one.

However, Li Shimin was sure that Li Fu must have it, but he couldn't say for sure.

[Yo, the Cui family is still a sensible person, it can be seen that he has great ambitions, and he has begun to look at the world! 】

[But now Datang doesn't even have an accurate map of his own, let alone a map of the world, and he doesn't even have a scale, so he can't measure the proper distance at all. 】

[Of course, I know what the map of the Tang Dynasty looks like, and I also know the map of the world, but with the existing conditions, I am afraid that such a map cannot be drawn!Datang map picture...world map picture...]

Li Shimin's brain was buzzing, he was always curious, as Li Fu said before, is there any land north of Mobei?After crossing Dongpu, is there really another country in Dongpu facing east!
These questions, with the map that emerged in Li Fu's mind, had answers in an instant, and Li Shimin was stunned.

Although they are just simple maps, they are clear enough. For Li Shimin, it really opened his eyes.

Because in Li Shimin's eyes, Guangda Tang's current territory is vast enough to satisfy him.

But now seeing the world map displayed in Li Fu's mind, Li Shimin realized that even if he included the entire grassland, Tubo and other places into the territory of the Great Tang, compared with the world map, the Great Tang was still too small!

The territory of the whole world is really too big for Li Shimin to imagine. He really did not expect that the world is so vast. He wanted to ask Li Fu carefully why he knew so much, but in front of so many people , he is not easy to ask.

However, Li Shimin had other ideas, "What Patriarch Cui said is true, my Tang Dynasty will draw a map of the world sooner or later, then Patriarch Cui will know how vast the world we live in is!"

Li Shimin's words attracted countless people to agree, but most of them thought that Li Shimin was just drunk on the spur of the moment. Only Li Fu heard it, but he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat.

【Hehe, yes, this old bastard Li Er really deserves to be an emperor through the ages, with just a few words, he has such a vision! 】

[Although Li Er himself doesn't know how big this world is, he knows that this world has a wider territory besides Tang Dynasty, and this alone is enough. 】

[Now the shipyard in Penglai has built dozens of warships of various sizes, more than ten ocean-going ships, and the navy has basically completed training. When the conditions are right, they will go to Japan to bully people! 】

[However, I still want to wait until there are enough ocean-going ships and supply ships to cross the Pacific Ocean to America. After all, Japan is not my ultimate goal, America is! 】

Although Li Fu has been acting very idle, but he grew up in this era, and he is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally knows his future and what he should do.

Of course, he will not do these things himself, he will let the right people work hard in the direction he pointed out.

His ideal is to include all of the Americas in the Tang Dynasty's territory after he succeeds to the throne, so when Li Fu began to imagine that scene in his mind.

Also seeing the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Li Fu's heart, Li Shimin only felt that his whole body was floating.

If he could have such a territory, Li Shimin felt that his life was enough, and to have such a territory, it would be an irresistible temptation for any king.

So Li Shimin felt extremely proud of having such a wise and talented prince...
