Chapter 142

"This is!?"

Li Er was shocked beyond measure, his eyes scanning the map incessantly.

Great Tang, Goguryeo, Japan in the east; Tuyuhun, Tibet, Western Regions countries in the west; Eastern Turks, Western Turks, Xue Yantuo in the north; Kingdom of Harsha in the south; and even further away, the Poros Empire, Brook Empire, Roman Empire, etc.

All the strongest empires of this era were included on this map!

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Fang Xuanling was stunned, not knowing what language to use to describe the shock in his heart.

In his impression, besides a few surrounding countries, he didn't know about other places.

He didn't even know there were other empires like the Roman Empire and Poros Empire thousands of miles away.

"Minister Fang, this map includes all the strongest empires in the world."

"Besides the Great Tang, empires like the Turks, Poros, and Rome are the most powerful existences in the world."

"Of course, besides these powerful empires, there is another transcendent great nation."

"That is my Great Qin Empire!"

"Why I want to show you this map is to let you remember it firmly, and tell your Great Tang Emperor after you go back. My Great Qin's ambition is not just the Turkic Empire north of the Great Tang, the Harsha Empire to the south, and the Roman Empire to the west, all will fall under the iron hooves of my Great Qin!"

"Ten years!"

"Ten years later, I will trample everything in this world, lead a million troops to the gates of Changancheng, and let your Great Tang Emperor and Zhangsun Wuji kneel and welcome my arrival!"

"By that time, all empires in this world will cease to exist. Only the flag of my Great Qin will fly across the four seas, passed down for ten thousand generations!"

Qin Mu raised his arms high, and his thick and solemn voice echoed in the hall for a long time.

Li Er was stunned!

Zhangsun Wugou was stunned!

Everyone present was shocked beyond measure by Qin Mu's words.

Blood boiling!

"This minister is willing to devote his life to Your Majesty's great cause of unifying the world!" Zhang Juzheng, the head of the three dukes, was surging with emotion and couldn't help but salute Qin Mu.

"Clatter!"

All the civil and military officials in the hall stood up in unison and shouted loudly.

"Willing to devote our lives to Your Majesty!"

Seeing the scene before him, Li Er began to tremble uncontrollably.

This is no longer anger!

It is fear!

It is deep fear of this young emperor before him!

He is too terrifying!

His ambition is too terrifying!

One Tibet is not enough, one Great Tang is not enough!

In his eyes, the Great Unity of the world is the only goal.

As an emperor, I am only satisfied with the small piece of land before me.

But who would have thought.

The world would be so big.

There would be so many powerful empires in this world!

After the fear.

Li Er began to be violently excited!

The fighting spirit of killing and conquering revived in his blood.

Great Tang must not fall behind Great Qin!

Late at night.

The political hall of the Budalagong was brightly lit.

"This minister pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Lulongzan walked from outside the hall and saluted respectfully.

"What is it?"

Qin Mu didn't look up, still dealing with government affairs.

"Your Majesty, this minister has something he doesn't understand."

Lulongzan asked cautiously.

One must be very careful when talking to this teenager before him.

He is a genius young emperor who is rarely seen in a century!

"You want to ask why trade between the two sides was added as a condition for negotiation, right?"

Qin Mu put down the book in his hand and looked up at Lulongzan.

"Your Majesty is wise, that is indeed the case!"

Lulongzan's heart tightened, and he continued:

"Great Tang is vast and rich, with abundant resources. Whether in terms of materials or food, it is far superior to my Great Qin."

"Trading and communicating with them, isn't that seeking skin from a tiger? Our Great Qin's silver will flow into the Great Tang continuously."

This is what Lulongzan is most worried about.

At that time in the hall.

After Qin Mu put forward this condition, Lulongzan felt something was wrong.

Although Great Qin has some momentum to take off, compared with Great Tang, which has been developing for more than ten years, there is still a big gap.

Nothing can be achieved overnight!

Qin Mu has only established Great Qin for less than a year.

Even if he works overtime, national strength must be accumulated over a long period of time.

Now the most important thing for Great Qin is to accumulate strength!

What is accumulating strength?

That is to accumulate troops, money, food, and population!

Only in this way can the foundation of Great Qin's powerful country be laid firmly.

Trading with Great Tang is tantamount to placing Great Qin in a very unfavorable position.

Even if more troops, money, food, and population are accumulated, it is estimated that they will only become resources for the Great Tang.

The Central Plains region is fertile, vast, and rich.

Whether it is silk, tea, or porcelain, they are all exquisite and peerless in the contemporary era.

More importantly, these things are valuable and extremely popular.

If you use troops, money, and food to exchange for these things, it might be feasible in peaceful times.

But now it is a time of war.

Troops, money, and food are the most important strategic resources of a country!

Trade with Great Tang will become a great consumption of Great Qin's national strength.

". II Not bad, Old Lu!"

"It seems you have made progress recently, actually being able to think of this level."

Qin Mu nodded with a smile and looked at Lulongzan with approval.

Looking at this teenager who was nearly 20 years younger than him, Lulongzan's mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly: "Serving by Your Majesty's side, how dare this minister be careless."

"Since you have thought of this problem, I naturally have thought of it too."

"The reason why I want to trade with Great Tang is to shear their wool and harvest their leeks!"

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Qin Mu's mouth.

What?

Shear wool?

Harvest leeks?

What do these mean?

Lulongzan had full question marks on his head, not understanding a single sentence.

What kind of wolf language is this?
