On the cold plateau, white teams were moving forward rapidly in the snow.

Occasionally, a few Haidongqing flew by in the sky, looking at the crowd moving on the snow below with some confusion, but in the end, they didn't dare to treat them as their prey.

In addition to Xi Junmai and Yang, who were acting on the plateau, the Supi people, the Aries people, and the Dangxiang people also continued to attack nearby Tubo tribes with the assistance of the escort of the Chu King's Mansion.

The plateau that should have been deserted can be seen from time to time.

The emergence of sleds has made winter on the plateau no longer lonely.

But in Luoshecheng, I don’t know at all that the tribes in the northeast are about to disappear from the map.

However, it is too far from Chang'an City. It is icy and snowy, and the carrier pigeons are useless here.

So the news did not reach Chang'an City so quickly in a short period of time.

However, something happened in the Daming Palace that surprised many people.

"Lan Xuan, you have been with me for more than ten years. If you want to stay in Chang'an City, I can ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu to help you arrange a place to help you have food and clothing, and you have no worries about your past life."

Concubine De looked at the letter in her hand over and over again, feeling a lot of emotion.

Although I have seen some reports on Qi Wanggang in the Datang Daily before, Concubine De was actually very unfamiliar with Qi Wanggang, which was thousands of miles away.

In her opinion, it was already very rare for her son to escape death, and she didn't dare to expect him to live a prosperous and prosperous life in the second half of his life.

But judging from the situation of this letter, the Qi Wanggang, except that it is hot all year round, actually does not look like a place to exile prisoners at all.

"Empress, I won't go anywhere, just follow you!"

As the personal palace maid around Concubine De, Liu Lanxuan is considered the direct line of Concubine De.

Once Concubine De left Chang'an City, there would definitely be no place for her to live in the Summer Palace.

If she had been put before and had to be exiled thousands of miles away, she would definitely be very scared.

But she already knew that whether it was South China, Australia, or the West, there were now endless caravans traveling to and from various ports of the Tang Dynasty.

There are even passenger ships that depart regularly from Dengzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places.

It can be said that the Tang Dynasty's overseas power has exceeded many people's imagination.

"You are willing to follow me to the West, so there is no problem. I won't treat you badly. I remember you have a younger brother in your hometown, right? If he wants, he can take him with you. Then, let You'er give him a half-time position, and you will have a chance in this life."

Concubine De naturally knew how to win over it.

Liu Lanxuan's hometown is in Yongzhou Prefecture. Taking her family with her is not only Shi En and her, but also can attract a group of Tang people to do things for Li You.

Although Liu Lanxuan’s relatives and friends in her hometown are all farmers who farm at home, they have no value in the Tang Dynasty.

But Li You had already told her very clearly in the letter that any living Tang people would be treasures in the King Port of Qi.

So Concubine De planned to win over a group of people before leaving, so that the number of Tang people in King Kong of Qi would reach a small step.

"Thank you, I will write a letter to take it home later."

Sure enough, Liu Lanxuan was very happy when she heard this.

"There is no need to write any letters. Just go there and see who is willing to go to the West with you in your hometown. As long as you are willing, you can pack your luggage and take it to Chang'an.

And, I also give you a guarantee that whenever these people go to Qiwanggang, not only will each have a house allocation, a land allocation, and a servant allocation, but they can also have a single official and half position to help You'er manage the territory of Qiwanggang and some Tamil people next to them.

In short, if we, Tang people, follow us to Qiwanggang, we can live a life of superiority!”

Concubine De's words had a great impact on Liu Lanxuan.

This is a piece of pie that fell from the sky.

Usually, even if Li You wanted to recruit a group of people from the Tang Dynasty, he was not suitable to do this.

After all, he is a person who made a mistake.

But this time Defei went to the West, the situation was different.

After all, she is also a concubine of the Tang Dynasty. Now she is traveling across the ocean to spend the rest of her life with her son. Wouldn't it be natural for Li Shimin to let a group of Tang people follow her to leave the Tang Dynasty?

At that time, let alone hundreds of people, maybe Concubine De could take a fleet and thousands of people directly to the West.

"Empress, is there no limit on the number of people? Although I only have one younger brother, my parents have many brothers and sisters. If I can go, I will ask an extra group of people to go with me?"

"As long as you can scream, you can do as many people!"

...

"Your Majesty, Qiwanggang is now the largest sugar trading center outside Guangzhou. Whether it is a merchant from Tianzhu or a merchant from Dashi, they all buy sugar in Qiwanggang.

And our merchants in the Tang Dynasty often transported all kinds of goods to the port of Qiwang, and then stopped going west. In addition, the Puluo Zhong Shibo Navy stationed a fleet in the palace of Qiwang, so the development there was very fast."

In the imperial study, Li Zhong and Li Shimin reported on the situation of King Kong of Qi.

If Concubine De left Chang'an City and went to Qiwanggang, she must explain to Li Shimin first and get permission.

Although Concubine De, who is over 40 years old, has good maintenance, she is definitely not as good as Xu Hui.

So after Li Shimin tried to keep him for a while, he finally saw that Concubine De really wanted to go to the King of Qi Port, so he didn't force anything else.

In the harem, except Empress Changsun, there is really no one in the harem that is irreplaceable to Li Shimin.

However, if you agree, Li Shimin must also have a good understanding of what happened in Qiwanggang.

Why did Li You have the courage to invite Concubine De to go there?

"According to what you said, Li You's life in King Kong of Qi should be very comfortable?"

"Although I have never been there, I heard that Qiwang Port is not cold all year round, only rainy and dry seasons. The location there is very important, it can be said to be a major transportation route in the West, with merchant ships entering and leaving every day.

In addition, the Puluo Zhong Shibo Navy ensures the safety of the port, which should have attracted many merchants to do business. Even if the entire port is not as prosperous as our Yangzhou and Dengzhou, it should be a bit prosperous."

Li Zhong found that it was really difficult to be a qualified commander of the Hundred Riding Commander.

I have to deal with a lot of information every day, and I also have to memorize some of the things that Li Shimin will focus on in my heart.

For example, the matter between King Kong of Qi, to be honest, Li Zhong did not pay special attention to it before.

Now he heard that Concubine De was going there that he urgently learned about it.

"Before Li You went to Qiwang Port, I didn't hear that the place was a prosperous port. Instead, I heard from Kuan'er that there were two kingdoms in the island where Qiwang Port were fighting for hundreds of years, and it should be that the people were living in poverty.

In just two years, it is really surprising that it has built a prosperous port in such a place."

Li Shimin still has some understanding of who Li You is.

After all, it's his own son.

If such a villain could create a prosperous port in a short time, then there would be prosperous ports everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have a guess, I don't know if it's right."

"But it's okay!"

"His Royal Highness of the King of Chu made a globe very early and should be very familiar with the situation outside the Tang Dynasty. If this sea ship wants to sail on the sea, there must be some supply ports in the middle. The reason why the Pulu in the South Ocean can flourish is because it is a very important supply port and is now also the commercial center of the South Ocean.

From the chart, after leaving Puluozhong, continue walking westward. The nearest large island is the island where Qiwang Port is located. It is very necessary to build a supply port or a transit port there.

When His Highness King Qi left Chang'an City, he probably didn't even know where King Qi Port was. His exile was also chosen by His Highness King Chu for help.

That is, the construction and planning of the King of Qi Port are all things planned by His Highness King of Chu, but they happened to encounter His Highness King of Qi, so they regarded it as the place where His Highness King of Qi was exiled, which could be considered as a closer connection with our Tang Dynasty.”

Li Zhong said this just because he said that the prosperity of King Kong of Qi has nothing to do with Li You, and it is all Li Kuan's credit.

"What you said makes sense! Kuan'er was able to create a Puluo in Nanyang, which is said to be not Yangzhou, and build a Yongping Port in Australia and a Hope Port in the Americas. Then it is not a big problem to build a Qiwang Port in the West.

However, the West is so far from the Tang Dynasty, wouldn’t we Tang people not be able to adapt to the local environment when we went there?"

Wherever the Tang people lived, Li Shimin believed that it was the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that Qi Wanggang is already very prosperous, he naturally pays more attention.

"If you don't adapt to this thing, the most important thing is to see if the journey is hard and what conditions will be like after you arrive in the local area. For example, Lingnan was placed more than ten years ago, and it was also a place where criminals were exiled, and everyone's eyes changed.

But now? There are many noble children in Chang'an City who go to Guangzhou almost every year, and I have never heard of any special symptoms of disagreement.

It’s just that the weather there is a little hotter, the water vapor is more abundant, and there are more snakes and insects. As long as the living conditions keep up, it won’t be so good.

That Qi Wang Port, I think the situation is very similar to that of Guangzhou Port. Apart from the distance being further away, there shouldn’t be too many unacceptable diseases.”

Whether it is to make Li Shimin feel at ease or to encourage more people to go to Qiwanggang, no one would say that Qiwanggang is a very dangerous place.

"Hey, it's rare that that evil son can still think of a mother in Chang'an City. Since Concubine De wants to spend the rest of her life with her son, I have no reason to stop her."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

...

Concubine De wants to go to the West!

This news was like an atomic bomb thrown into the sea, causing a tremendous wave.

Although the Yin family no longer has any power in Chang'an City, this means that Concubine De actually does not have much power to rely on.

But the symbolicity of this matter is different.

"Gui Tianai, is this news really true?"

As soon as Xu Xiaode, the Minister of Rites, heard the news, he immediately called his dog-legged Gui Tianai to his side.
