Chapter 490

Empress Zhangsun, Li Xueyan, and Wu Meiniang gasp at the same time.

Currently.

Great Qin's territory has grown to an unimaginable size.

The east borders Liaodong.

The so-called Liaodong is the place where Emperor Yang of Sui sent a million troops to fight!

Back then.

Liaodong was the land of the Great Sui.

But with the failure of the million-strong army, Liaodong was also seized by Goguryeo.

Qin Mu has always had an idea in his heart.

After the northern border develops and matures, he will march east and take Liaodong back from Goguryeo!

Besides Liaodong in the east, Great Qin also borders the Roman Empire in the west.

The Roman Empire is the main target for Great Qin's economic war!

Qin Mu still needs to consider carefully how to do it.

To the north are the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.

After the failure of the Eastern Turks, these two empires have been scared by Qin Mu.

The strength of the Eastern Turks was equal to the sum of the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo!

When they watched the destruction of the Eastern Turks, they knew their strength was far inferior to Great Qin, so they could only develop silently.

To the south, Great Qin borders the Harsha Empire and Siam!

These two places are a piece of fat meat!

The Harsha Empire and Siam are located in warm regions, with a climate extremely suitable for reproduction, and a population reaching over 100 million!

With so many people, Qin Mu is very greedy.

Although the people there are not Central Plains commoners, if they can be converted into labor serving Great Qin, that is also a good idea.

Because of this.

The most important places for this economic war are these two!

Only by converting the population of those two empires into Great Qin's labor force and transporting all the benefits to Great Qin is the key to letting Great Qin take off!

As for the Great Tang, which is almost surrounded by Great Qin's territory, Qin Mu has no thoughts for now.

After all!

The fear that Great Qin has brought to the Great Tang court needs to ferment for a while.

Qin Mu is very happy to see the panicked look of Li Er and the officials and noble families in the court.

The more panicked, afraid, and desperate they are, the more comfortable Qin Mu feels.

Isn't this more fragrant than war?

Qin Mu wants to slowly torture Li Er and the upper echelons of the Great Tang to death!

As for the commoners of the Great Tang, in the end, they will all be his subjects in the future.

Qin Mu cannot slaughter the Han commoners, nor can he weaken Great Qin's national power in the future.

Because of this.

He placed the target of revenge on Li Er and the nobles in Chang'an City.

There are many ways to take revenge.

War is not the only way!

On the contrary!

War will not bring any trouble to Li Er or the upper-class nobles in Chang'an City at all.

Anyway, they won't be the ones charging on the battlefield!

No matter how many people die, they are all the lowest-level commoners.

Only when the people are dead will it be the turn of those upper-class nobles!

So-called war is just a tool for killing.

No matter how many people die, Li Er and the upper-class nobles will not feel heartache.

From this perspective.

Launching a war will distort the meaning of revenge.

Only those as stupid as pigs would think that launching a war is the best revenge against the upper-class nobles.

Making the noble class of the Great Tang suffer more torture is Qin Mu's greatest goal.

And this goal and action have not affected the commoners of the Great Tang from beginning to end.

"Husband, this is not a small matter; have you thought it through?"

"Besides, what advantages do we have to fight an economic war?"

Li Xueyan asks softly.

She doesn't understand what economic war is, but her intuition tells her that the cruelty of this war is no less than that of the battlefield.

"Rest assured! I have already considered these things." Qin Mu smiles faintly.

Youzhou City, main street.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling are disguised, each leading a thin horse, and appear here.

Looking at the earth-shaking changes around them, the two were surprised for a long time.

"Xuanling, is this still the Youzhou we once visited?"

Li Er looks at the strange phenomenon before him, dumbfounded.

Exquisite and elegant pavilions, uniform streets, and rigorous order make people feel refreshed.

But the only flaw is that there are too few people!

Sparse pedestrians on the street, and some merchants, look a bit desolate.

But one thing to say.

The extent of Youzhou City's expansion today is truly too large, basically more than ten times larger than before!

Under such expansion, sparse pedestrians are not surprising.

Everything before him makes Li Er feel particularly unreal.

He thought that Youzhou City, which suffered in the war, would probably not have any particularly good improvement even under Qin Mu's construction.

But he never expected.

Qin Mu didn't want to repair Youzhou City at all, but directly tore it down and rebuilt a Youzhou City!

Damn!

This prodigal son is truly a big spender!

"Gulp!"

"Master, I never dreamed that Youzhou would become like this."

"Also, Master, don't you feel it? Youzhou City has an even more fatal danger!" Fang Xuanling swallows his saliva, his face turning somewhat ugly.
