Li Longji was not interested in what Japan was called, and there was also his reason.

In the eyes of this Li family Saburo, Japan is now a clown, and it is a small overseas country that is not worth mentioning at all.

At the Battle of Baijiangkou, Japan intended to set up an isolated island, and fought against the Tang army with less than 200 warships and only 10,000 warships.

As a result, under the command of Liu Rengui, the Tang army won all four battles, and won consecutive victories on land and water, killing the Japanese slave army. Those who died, those who surrendered, and those who surrendered were running away. It was a fallen flowing water.

From then on, Japan was as well-behaved as a sheep and cat, and she only wanted to worship the Tang Dynasty as her ancestors.

Li Longji really couldn't understand why Pei Min cared so much about this kind of country.

Pei Min also knew that the Japanese had a deep respect for the Tang Dynasty, but he knew what Japan had done in the future.

With the current development trend of the Tang Dynasty, unless it is truly invincible, take advantage of the situation and deal with Japan. It is almost impossible to attack Japan in the short term. It is really not worthwhile to mobilize a large number of troops for an island country with frequent disasters.

But when Pei Min was able to disgust him and teach them a lesson, he would never be ruthless.

What sunrise country, go to the fuck.

The Tang Dynasty only recognized Japan and did not recognize the country where the sunrise was. If you were willing to call it, you would call it. If you were unwilling to be better, go back to the island country.

Seeing Li Longji compromise, Pei Min stopped when he saw that the good news was good and said, "In fact, the convergence of these countries made the situation complicated and chaotic on the surface, but as long as they were divided into small parts, everything would become natural. We don't need to pay attention to the purpose of their gathering. As long as we analyze their motivations one by one, all problems can be solved."

"Speak quickly!" Li Longji showed a look of calmness.

Pei Min smiled and said, "Let's talk about the Great Food Kingdom first. This Great Food Kingdom is the most powerful country in the West. When it comes to strength, it is the only existence in the world that can compete with our Tang Dynasty. According to principles, they have no reason to show weakness to us. But Your Majesty may not know that the situation in the West is different from ours. The Great Food Kingdom has been expanding for more than 60 years, constantly launching wars and invading land. It is a country that rises by war and relies on plunder to maintain its main economy. To put it bluntly, it is to make money in wars. It has used wars, obtained land, slaves and other resources they want to get."

Li Longji frowned slightly when he heard this. This way of war was unacceptable to him.

Pei Min continued with a smile: "This is also the difference between our East and West cultures. The West attaches great importance to conquest and enjoys trampling its opponents under its feet. To put it indecently, it is to plunder the opponent's land and occupy their wives and daughters. And our Eastern culture attaches more importance to governance. Since ancient times, it has been said that it is easy to conquer the world and difficult to defend the world."

Li Longji asked: "Who is better with Pei Qing, the East and the West's philosophy?"

Pei Min pondered for a moment: "There are pros and cons between the two, but I am more inclined to our Eastern philosophy. The conquest of the West will certainly be due to interests, which will make the people warlike, making the soldiers extremely brave and invincible. The current Arab lion army is a strong army that is traversing Asia, Europe and Africa, and has been through many battles. However, under power, there are endless disasters. Conquest only brings rebellion. As the saying goes, it is easy to break. Once a certain accident occurs, the leader, king or commander will be killed. A hidden crisis breaks out instantly, and the huge empire will collapse in a short period of time. This is like the Qin Dynasty. Qin can destroy the six kingdoms, but it will not destroy the rebellious intention of the six kingdoms. Once the First Emperor dies, the empire will collapse immediately."

There are countless examples of such things in the West. The most typical example is that the Macedonian Empire, as the first conqueror in Europe, was killed and the dynasty collapsed as soon as he died.

"Our East's approach is to seize its land, attack its heart, and govern its people. It will not be ours, but ours. As long as it is handled properly, even if the king dies, the people will still receive kindness and do their best to be loyal to the new emperor... Our East is more suitable for inheritance, which is why our culture can be passed down from generation to generation, and the reason why many ancient Western civilizations are directly extinct."

"What about that shortcoming?" Li Longji said in a deep voice.

Pei Min smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is extremely talented, why should you ask me? I have been so comfortable for too long, and I have become a fool like Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of Jin. He is not the only one."

Li Longji also knew that Pei Min was not easy to talk about, so he continued to listen.

Pei Min continued: "These sixty years of conquest have certainly expanded the territory of the Dashi Kingdom several times and plundered countless people's land, but it is also a burden on their domestic economy. If they can continue to win, they can maintain it. Once they suffer a defeat, the disadvantages will immediately appear. Unfortunately, not long ago, the Dashi Kingdom suffered a rare defeat! The Dashi Water Army, which was hard to create, made Fu Shi burn clean and suffered heavy losses. They need to rest and rest to restore the economic problems caused by the Dashi Kingdom.

Question: They fought everywhere and had a stiff relationship with the four sides. Who would like to trade with them? Only I, Datang, the trade volume on the Silk Road is relative, and we benefited from it, and the Great Food Kingdom is also beneficial. Taking this opportunity to come to the Great Tang Dynasty and deepen economic exchanges, everything is reasonable. Moreover, as the Western Regions are becoming more prosperous, with the ambition of the Great Food Kingdom, how can they not covet it? By the way, let’s learn about my Datang, and it only benefits them without harm. Why not do it?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet. On the way, I happened to meet the Lion King of the Great Food Kingdom's No. 1 Lion King Mosremasa, and I had contact with him. He is a very straightforward and powerful general. This person must be the future rival of my Tang Dynasty. He did not hide his desire to fight with my Tang Dynasty. The future battle with the Great Food Kingdom has become inevitable with the strength of my Tang Dynasty. It is only a matter of time to compete."

Li Longji did not know the destruction of the Dashi Kingdom's naval army. After hearing this analysis, he nodded: "So since we know the Dashi Kingdom's intention, do we still need to trade with them?"

"Why not?" Pei Min asked back: "Trade is a win-win situation, and there is no need to cut off one's own way of wealth to resist big food. Moreover, our silk, porcelain, tea, etc. are all luxury goods, and cheap items are exchanged for a hundred times profit. We are the real beneficiaries. You must know that in the eyes of Westerners, ceramics are made of pearl agate."

This is not nonsense to Pei Min, it is exactly the case.

Westerners could not imagine that porcelain that was as smooth as pearls was made of clay, but thought it was made of pearl jewelry, which was a particularly expensive luxury in the West.
