Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Xuanzang's Westward Journey, Is It Good or Bad?

On the way back, Li Shimin was full of excitement in his heart.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

All the basic preparations are in place, just waiting for the craftsmanship and the secret mastery of the king's treasurer to come into battle.

The industry of coarse salt refining can start construction immediately.

As long as this industrial chain is in operation and the refined salt of the finished product is produced, it will immediately be a mountain of gold and copper, and countless will roll in.

It is easy to make a lot of money, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will settle the accounts by myself, and I will have to send a special team, otherwise there will be fewer people, and I am afraid that I will have to count the money until my hands cramp.

Li Shimin is now sitting in the carriage and has begun to think about a long-term plan to spend money.

After the first dividend is in hand, I will first repair the back garden, plant some precious flowers and plants, and decorate the scenery that was somewhat monotonous in the past~.

Then send someone to buy some jewelry, silk and satin, and give a box to the concubine in the palace.

Then give his Emperor Laozi a set of well-made tea sets and buy him a little hobby.

When I think about it like this, it's just beautiful, and I have done many things that I didn't have to think about at all in the past.

Thinking of the more reverence and admiration for himself by the concubines in the palace, the Emperor Taishang became more and more satisfied and kind to himself.

Li Shimin couldn't help but pat his thigh.

Wonderful, that's amazing!

He almost didn't turn his eyes into star eyes, but unfortunately it was already afternoon, and it was not appropriate to run to the king's shopkeeper again.

Otherwise, Li Shimin really wanted to order the carriage now, change the direction and go to Taipingfang, and then start production immediately.

Forget it, it's only a matter of a day or two anyway.

Go back to the palace to get a good night's sleep first, and when you are full of energy, you can go to the tavern to discuss the business thoroughly!

Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then crossed his legs, humming a little song while waiting for the carriage to reach its destination.

......

After spending the night in the palace, since the next day was not a fixed time for the court meeting every month, there was nothing that he needed to call the ministers to come and discuss.

Therefore, Li Shimin was ready to leave the palace again, go directly to the tavern in Taipingfang, find his brother Wang, and finally agree on this deal.

It was just when he had just changed his clothes and everything was ready, just waiting for the guards to prepare the carriage.

But suddenly a eunuch trotted over, and as soon as he came to the gate of the palace, he hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has a document urgently submitted by the Ministry of Rites, saying that it is related to Master Xuanzang's letter to ask for words, and the slave and maid will forward it to His Majesty for first inspection. "

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard the eunuch panting.

Master Xuanzang, this name is not unfamiliar to him, in Guanzhong and even the Central Plains District, he can be regarded as a very prestigious Buddhist master.

He is proficient in Buddhism, likes to communicate with others, and delves into Buddhist scriptures.

During the years of studying Buddhism, I traveled all over the world and read Buddhist scriptures with monks from different temples.

can be regarded as a very professional research talent, and this road has gone very deep.

Master Xuanzang had already submitted a document through the Ministry of Rites before, and the purpose of that time was to ask Li Shimin for permission to promote Buddhism and open an altar to preach the Dharma.

But in the Li Tang era, Taoism was promoted, because the royal family was surnamed Li, and the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu, was also surnamed Li.

In a sense, this is the existence of the law and the same lineage, which can better determine the correctness and inevitability of the Son of Heaven surnamed Li to unify the country.

Therefore, Taoism was an unshakable existence in the early Tang Dynasty, and its status was not comparable to Buddhism at all.

Therefore, in order not to veto the national policy with Taoism as the core foundation, Li Shimin rejected Master Xuanzang's request.

I just don't know what the purpose of submitting another document this time is.

From the eunuch's hand, he received the folded document urgently sent by the Ministry of Rites.

Li Shimin read it carefully before and after, and after almost half a cup of tea, he put the fold aside.

Things are clear, this Master Xuanzang is still the above request.

It's just that this time I asked Li Shimin to allow him to travel thousands of miles to Tianzhu to exchange Buddhism and learn more Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.

Li Shimin pondered twice, and the two eunuchs unfolded a standing map.

The location of Tianzhu is marked on the map.

··· Ask for flowers

It's just that this map, to be honest, is a bit vague, except for a rough location, the rest is blank.

There are no major cities, and the exact shape is missing.

Of course, Tianzhu is not a particularly important country for the Tang Dynasty, and the distance is a little far, and it may not be as good as Tubo in terms of strategic location.

So it's normal for the map to be blurry.

Li Shimin silently drew a big arc from his fingers in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, and traced all the way to the area where Tianzhu was located.

Then he shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "Just running around like this, I really don't know how many years he will have to go." "

"Even if they are people with great perseverance, in order to promote his share of the Dharma, it can be said that they will do whatever it takes, and they have obsessions in their hearts, which is really respectable and terrifying. "

.... 0

"It's a pity that this person is only obsessed with Buddhism, and he is not interested in being an official at all, otherwise let him join the political side, or serve the imperial court, and he is a good talent. "

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head.

"Forget it, the queen mentioned it to me last time, saying that she was quite interested in Buddhism and had a good impression of this master Xuanzang. "

"In that case, if I give the queen a face, you go to pass on my will, and say that I have agreed, let him ......"

As soon as he was about to make the next complete will, Li Shimin saw the carriage that sent him out of the palace from a distance and galloped towards this side.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Er's mind.

That's right, aren't you going to the tavern in Taipingfang, don't you want to discuss with the shopkeeper Wang and start the construction of the industry?

In that case, why don't you just go to Brother Wang and ask him what he thinks about this matter.

Xuanzang wanted to go to Tianzhu to exchange Buddhism and learn Buddhist scriptures, whether this matter was good or bad for the Tang Dynasty, and whether it had any impact, you can find out when you go there and ask.

I just have to go with me, and I don't delay anything.

Therefore, Li Shimin waved his hand to the eunuch.

"What I just said, let's not count it for now, you go back and tell the Ministry of Rites, just say wait first, and when I make a decision, I will naturally make a will. "

The eunuch immediately saluted Li Shimin, and then cautiously withdrew from the palace.
