Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Soon, the eunuch led a man to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty!" The man was about the same age as Li Shimin and looked very handsome.

"Chengfan, no need to be polite, please sit down!" Li Shimin bowed politely.

The Western Regions envoys came to Chang'an, and this person named Chengfan was indispensable. Just now, he received the emperor's oral order and was delayed by arranging some events.

He is Li Daozon, the Minister of Honglu Temple, with the courtesy name Chengfan.

He is the cousin of Emperor Taishang Li Yuan, one year younger than Li Shimin.

After the man greeted the emperor, he bowed to the other ministers and said hello. When it was Su Chen's turn, the man named Chengfan smiled meaningfully.

Su Chen smiled back in a proper manner.

Seeing everyone sitting back down, Li Shimin looked at Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, continue!"

"Your Majesty, this is all I have to say. It's just my personal opinion. You can discuss the rest!"

Su Chen put down the parchment in his hand and spread his hands.

"Well, don't be too modest! What you just said is a true insight." Li Shimin paused for a moment, smiled faintly, and said:

"As the saying goes, one thing does not require two masters. You recommend another person to earn money by cultivating cotton in the Western Regions."

Li Shimin remembered that not long ago, Su Chen said that the Western Regions would provide cotton for the Tang Dynasty. The output of wild white flounder alone cannot be guaranteed.

"How can I have anyone to recommend me!?" Su Chen shook his head and waved his hands.

Li Shimin smiled but did not speak, staring at Su Chen.

Su Chen showed a helpless smile on his face, "Uh~ Your Majesty, it's useless to look at me like this!"

"Hey! Your Majesty, who is the most senior official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now?"

Li Shimin's smile disappeared in a breath.

'Is this really my Tang Dynasty? Ministry of Foreign Affairs? ' Li Shimin rubbed his temple and muttered softly.

Fang Xuanling looked at Changsun Wuji, "Assistant, when did Your Majesty plan to establish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Who is in charge of this department?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head, indicating that he had heard of it for the first time.

After a moment, Li Shimin said in a serious voice: "Minister of Personnel, Changsun Wuji!"

"I'm here!" Changsun Wuji was frightened by Li Shimin's sudden shout!

"You come and tell the Marquis who is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is no Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the six ministries!" Changsun Wuji bowed his waist and answered timidly, turning his head and glaring at Su Chen fiercely.

The emperor had not been angry with him in the past six months, and this time it was all Su Chen's fault.

"Your Majesty, I didn't pay much attention just now. I was talking about the Honglu Temple. That's right! It's the Honglu Temple."

Changsun Wuji straightened his back instantly when he heard it, "Su kid! The current Honglu Temple Minister is Li Daozon!"

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

"Big shot! Li Daozon and Li Xiaogong are both called "Xian Wang". Li Daozon will be named: Jiangxia County King in the future."

Li Shimin noticed the change in Su Chen's eyes and asked with a smile: "Have you seen Li Daozon?"

"I don't know him, let alone see him!" Su Chen shook his head.

"Haha!" Li Shimin glanced at Li Daozon, who was calm and composed.

When Li Daozon had nothing to do on weekdays, he often went to the teahouse to drink tea and play cards with his cousin Li Yuan. Li Yuan often mentioned Su Chen in front of him.

Therefore, Li Daozon also knew something about Su Chen.

"Do you think Li Daozon is capable of this?" Li Shimin returned to the topic and continued to discuss important matters.

Su Chen shook his head, "Li Daozon is great at marching and fighting, but he is not suitable for this."

Everyone was silent, listening carefully to Su Chen's analysis, looking forward to his next words.

Suddenly, Su Chen thought of a very interesting person.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a man named Tang Jian?"

Everyone looked at Li Daozon at the same time.

Li Daozon stood up slowly under the gaze of everyone, saluted Li Shimin respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, I think the Honglu Temple should be called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

Others were thinking about the right candidates and lobbying the Western Regions to grow cotton.

Li Daozon was thinking about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Without waiting for Li Shimin to respond, Li Daozong turned to look at Su Chen and smiled:

"Tang Jian, Junior Minister of Honglu. I am Li Daozong, Minister of Honglu."

Su Chen was instantly embarrassed when he heard this. He just said that he had never met him, but who would have thought that Li Daozong was standing in front of him at this moment.

"Uh~Forgive me! I have never seen the world and don't know many people!"

Su Chen bowed very sincerely.

"Hahaha..."

The emperor laughed first, and everyone laughed.

Finally, Li Shimin decided that Tang Jian would be responsible for border trade with the Western Regions, and find opportunities to lobby the Western Regions to develop cotton planting in order to increase cotton production.

The Tang Dynasty would also mobilize the people to plant cotton, and could not rely entirely on the income from trade in the Western Regions.

What everyone didn't expect was that the King of the Western Regions readily agreed to plant cotton.

However, this matter was not Tang Jian's credit.

"ChengFan, has the Honglu Temple arranged everything?" Li Shimin looked at the time, and it was still half an hour before noon.

"Your Majesty, Shaoqing Maoyue has led people to Jinguang Gate. As soon as the Western Regions delegation arrives, they will be taken to the Honglu Hall for a rest, waiting for your Majesty to summon them at any time!" Li Daozong answered respectfully.

Su Chen silently remembered that Shaoqing Maoyue was probably referring to Tang Jian.

"Well, that's good!" Li Shimin nodded, looking at Su Chen and the three Li Tai brothers at the back.

"Is Rengui coming today?"

It was only then that Li Shimin realized that Xue Rengui was not there.

"Replying to the emperor, Rengui is busy with military training." Li Ke stood up to answer.

Li Ke did not say the Divine Artifact Camp, but used the military instead.

"How are the five hundred black armored soldiers in the Divine Artifact Camp training now? "Li Shimin had no scruples. Among the people present, only Li Dao Zong and Su Chen saw it for the first time.

Others knew about the Artifact Camp and explosives.

"Five hundred Xuanjia soldiers can now shoot with bows and arrows, up to seventy steps away, and can control the landing point of arrows within seventy steps. These days, we have trained the relationship between the burning time of the fuse and the corresponding range. "

This is very important. In Su Chen's words, if we cannot guarantee that the missiles fired will explode when they land, and are picked up by the enemy and shot back to our army, then the fun will be big.

"Okay! Remember, after they pass the training, send them back to the barracks immediately to train the other three thousand Xuanjia soldiers. "

"I want to expand the Artifact Camp to five thousand people! "

Li Shimin thought that 500 people were too few, and wanted to send another 2,500 Xuanjia soldiers to Su Chen, but Su Chen refused to accept it.

This time, another 2,000 people were added. Some time ago, the Military Equipment Bureau made more than 3,000 bows and arrows. Just wait for the 500 people to come back after training to guide other soldiers.

Li Ke bowed and saluted, "Son, obey the order!"

Li Shimin nodded, and then to Li Tai and Li You.

Someone has already reported to him about sugarcane sugar and explosives production, so there is nothing to ask.

As for Li You... there is nothing to communicate about a pig farmer, although bacon is indeed delicious.

Is it possible to ask Li You: How are those sows doing recently?
