Li Ke even had an idea, that is to force Datang to use foreign troops through the demand for slaves.

In this way, it can continue to expand the territory and territory of Datang, and secondly, it can continuously provide sufficient and cheap labor for the construction of Datang.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.

The Tang Dynasty was not benevolent, and regarded all nations as straw dogs.

If you want to develop quickly and at low cost, you can only find ways from neighboring countries.

Use their people and their resources to help Datang build at a low cost and at a high speed.

Otherwise, if the development is done step by step, not only the cost will be much higher.

And it will take a very long time!

"Yes, that's a good suggestion!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Li Ke's words.

Before, they wanted to contract a section of official road and build it into a concrete road.

Then charge, open the station and so on.

But because Li Shimin considered the interests of the court, he made some restrictions on this.

After such a long period of improvement, the plan to build cement roads on official roads has matured.

Various regulations are also clearly written.

They were still calculating the cost to see if it was worth it.

But now listening to what Li Ke said, I immediately feel that the cement road is a big deal!

Because once a large number of slaves are added, the manpower for road construction will be completely solved.

And because they are slaves, they don't need to be paid wages, they only need to be given food.

So the cost will be very, very low!

Coupled with the large-scale mass production of cement, the cost has also been reduced a lot.

So building cement roads for official roads is actually a good business now.

Even with many restrictions, it is still possible to make a lot of profits.

"Everyone work hard, I hope that when I come back next time, the official road has become a concrete road."

Li Ke smiled and made a joke with everyone.

"Haha, in order to make it easier for King Wu to return to Chang'an City, we have to repair this cement road!"

Hearing Li Ke's joke, everyone also said with a smile.

"I'm afraid, what His Majesty most wants to repair is the road to Goguryeo!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say something.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly thought about it.

Everyone actually knew in their hearts that Li Shimin had always wanted to go on an expedition to Goguryeo, but was persuaded by the ministers.

But this persuasion only temporarily prevented Li Shimin from going on an expedition to Goguryeo, and did not let Li Shimin dispel the idea.

On the contrary, the expedition to Goguryeo has become an obsession in Li Shimin's heart.

Now, if a cement road is to be built, Li Shimin must first want to build a cement road to Goguryeo.

Because in this way, the difficulty of the expedition to Goguryeo will be greatly reduced.

In the past, everyone definitely didn't want to go on an expedition to Goguryeo.

After all, it was too far away, and the pressure on both combat and logistics was great, and it was also very cold there!

But it's different now. Li Ke made very warm clothes to keep warm, at least in Goguryeo.

Coupled with the appearance of explosive packs, the form of warfare has been completely changed!

In the battle, Datang will also be more relaxed.

Moreover, the cement road leading to Goguryeo has been repaired, and the army will be able to drive straight in!

The logistical pressure is also very small, and materials can be continuously and quickly delivered to the front line.

Most importantly, after defeating Goguryeo, they will be able to harvest a large number of slaves!

Then, they can use these slaves to build concrete roads again!

The previous expedition to Goguryeo, apart from Li Shimin's obsession, actually did not have much benefit to Datang.

On the contrary, it will be a waste of money and people, and the damage will be heavy.

But now, the expedition to Goguryeo can bring benefits to Datang and everyone.

Then they will naturally not resist this matter anymore.

Li Ke was not surprised by this.

Because in history, Li Shimin once personally conquered Goguryeo and achieved great results.

Therefore, Li Ke has no opinion on Li Shimin's desire to fight Goguryeo.

However, Li Ke had another idea about Li Shimin's attack from land.

That is to attack from the sea!

After he arrives in Yangzhou, he will vigorously build a shipyard to build warships that are far enough to go ocean!

At that time, we will start directly from Huating County and land from the coast of Goguryeo.

Forming a double-teaming trend with Li Shimin's frontal troops, it must be able to end the battle faster.

"Very good, let's give more territory and territory to future generations."

Li Ke smiled slightly and said something jokingly.

He has traveled from later generations, so he naturally knows what territory and territory mean in later generations.

Li Ke believes that everything in China in history is good, but there is one shortcoming.

The aggressiveness of being rectified by Confucianism is not strong enough!

Even though it is so strong, it can keep all surrounding effects safe and sound.

Although it is a suzerain state in name, it also has the right to appoint and remove the kings of the dependent states, but it is not enough.

In history, Huaxia could do better, but due to various reasons, it failed to do so.

For example, Zheng He's voyages to the West during the Ming Dynasty, with such a huge fleet, they just ran to show off the magnificence of the Ming Dynasty.

But they didn't know to use the largest and most powerful fleet in the world at that time to plunder resources and plunder territories.

Perhaps at the time, they didn't feel anything.

But in the eyes of future generations, these actions are deep pity and regret!

Obviously there are countless opportunities to lead others, but they miss it time and time again.

After Li Ke crosses over, he will change this situation!

He is going to fight, to plunder, and turn the whole world into the territory of Tang Dynasty!

Let future generations from birth, there is only one country in the world!

"Is my Tang not old enough?"

Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and said quite proudly.

"This world is very big, very big, and I, Datang, are just a corner of it."

Li Ke shook his head with a smile, and said something to Cheng Yaojin.

Hearing Li Ke's words, everyone had expressions of disbelief.

Li Ke didn't say much either. With everyone's current understanding of the world, it's normal not to believe it.

He didn't explain it either, anyway, he would know later.

In addition to getting together with the ministers, Li Ke also got together with those younger brothers and sisters.

As for the adults, such as Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he didn't bother to deal with them.

Those younger brothers and sisters felt very reluctant for him to leave Chang'an City and go to Yangzhou.

After all, Li Ke treats them very well, and sometimes Li Ke will give them what they want directly.

But Li Ke is no longer in Chang'an City, so it is estimated that no one treats them so well.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai usually don't bother to look at them at all.

"Third brother, I don't know if I should tell you something."

Li Zhi stood in front of Li Ke with some entanglements and contradictions, his immature face was like a bitter melon.

"I don't like half of what others are talking about. Say it quickly."

Li Ke glanced at him, this kid is still tantalizing.

"The queen mother asked me a question a few days ago, asking me whether I want my eldest brother to be the prince, or third brother you to be the prince."

Li Zhi touched his head, and then told Li Ke about it.

Although he was young and conscious, he knew it was best not to tell Li Ke about this.

But he likes Li Ke very much, and Li Ke is about to leave Chang'an City again.

He was afraid that if he didn't tell Li Ke now, he might not know when the next time he saw Li Ke again.

"Oh? What did you say?"

Hearing this, Li Ke was slightly taken aback, and Li Zhi's words surprised him.

Not surprised by Li Zhi, but surprised by Empress Changsun asking Li Zhi this question!

"Of course I said that I hope you, third brother, will be the prince!"

Li Zhi quickly expressed his opinion to Li Ke.

Compared with Li Ke, Li Chengqian liked Li Ke even though Li Chengqian and him were brothers.

Because although he was young, he didn't want his sister to marry to Tubo.

Although he often bullies Sizi, he likes this sister very much.

If Li Chengqian becomes the crown prince, after Li Chengqian ascends the throne, others want to make a marriage, what should Li Chengqian do if he takes out his son to make a marriage?

So he is more inclined to Li Ke, at least Li Ke loves his younger brothers and sisters very much.

As for him being the prince himself?

Sorry, the eight-year-old never thought about it.

Let alone Li Chengqian and Li Tai in front, just Li Ke completely dispelled his thoughts.

Compared with Li Ke, he feels like a child who doesn't understand farts.

"How did the queen mother react?"

Li Ke patted Li Zhi's shoulder with a smile, and continued to ask.

"The queen mother didn't respond, she just asked me to find my father."

Li Zhi told Li Ke about the situation that day.

"Young slave, please spend more time with your mother, don't make her angry."

Li Ke wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Li Zhi can only be asked to spend more time with Empress Changsun.

After all, Empress Changsun's time is running out.

"Child, I hope you won't blame me in the future."

Li Ke said something secretly in his heart.

"Uh-huh."

Li Zhi nodded obediently.
