Luo Zhang didn't know what happened in the court. He said everything he needed to say. As for whether Li Shimin listened or not, that was his business.
Luo Zhang can't guarantee how long he can live, but Datang is his home, and no matter what, he will try his best to protect it.
Luo Zhang has already made some preparations for potential threats.
There are also many merchants from the Western Regions in Tubo. These merchants often travel between the two places and enter the Tang Dynasty through Tubo.
Luo Zhang's arrangement was to find these merchants from the Western Regions and ask them to go to the Great Food Country to buy a large amount of spices. He would buy them at a high price and at the same time ask them to inquire about various situations in the Great Food Country, such as the income of the people, the folk customs, and the How did the country respond to natural disasters and so on?
There was no mention of letting these people inquire about the situation of the army of the Great Food Country.
Luo Zhang didn't want to mention it because he was afraid that if he mentioned it, these Western Region businessmen would definitely refuse. If this was discovered, it would be a mess. They were just businessmen and they would not do such a thing no matter how much money they were given.
Just because he knew this would happen, Luo Zhang adopted a roundabout strategy, starting with the economic situation of the big food country and the wealth of the people. These are people's livelihood. If the people of the big food country are rich and the economic situation is good, then it represents the army. of strength.
We must know that a strong army must have a strong economic foundation behind it.
Luo Zhang even knew that the Great Food Country was not as short of food as the Tang Dynasty. The land there was extremely rich, and it was a place where food could be harvested three times a year. This was also the reason why the Great Food Country continued to fight and waged wars on all sides. The domestic situation was No one starved to death.
And more importantly, everyone in the Big Food Country is a good businessman. Before they even leave the country, the merchants of the Big Food Country have already traveled to other countries on their large sea ships.
The large-scale sea-going ship of the Great Food Kingdom that was encountered outside Quanzhou Port almost completely wiped out the Tang Dynasty Navy. This was because there were enough offshore sea-going ships and with the help of iron knots, they barely managed to win. Otherwise, a large-scale sea-going ship would have been destroyed. Can lead the entire Tang Dynasty navy to destruction.
It also proves the power of the Food Country from the side. What Luo Zhang is most worried about right now is that the Food Country has also developed gunpowder. The people there are extremely smart. Once they have gunpowder, they can use it for On top of weapons.
Of course, from an understanding of history, we know that there was no such thing as gunpowder in the Big Food Country. Even if it was, it would be hundreds of years later. But one thing was discovered, and that was oil.
The refining of oil was somehow tinkered with by the people of the Dashi country. This thing can not only be used by the people, but also can be used for standing.
For example, making gasoline bombs, but at this time it should be called kerosene bombs.
Most of the kerosene here in Datang is kerosene, and its power is no less than that of real kerosene.
You know, kerosene can still burn even if it encounters water, unlike kerosene, which is extinguished when water is poured on it.
With such a sharp weapon, it is not much less powerful than artillery, and it is also a weapon of mass destruction.
It's not that Luo Zhang didn't think about making fire oil, but he didn't know how to purify it. It was God's blessing to be able to make gunpowder. If he was asked to make fire oil again, it would be better to kill him.
After all, although Luo Zhang traveled through time, he was once just an ordinary person and not a cheater. If this were true, it would be a bit outrageous.
But having said that, Luo Zhang is already a bit outrageous now. Because of his appearance, Datang has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The Eastern Turks were destroyed, Gaoguli was destroyed, the Western Turks were destroyed, and Tubo was destroyed. Even the Nanyue Kingdom in the south was used by Luo Zhang, causing Feng Yi to go there to cause trouble.
The only hidden danger is in Shuzhong. I don't know what will happen if Changsun Wuji goes there, but Luo Zhang knows that this old guy is not a peaceful master and will definitely stir up the situation and will not make it easy for him.
While Luo Zhang was arranging all the affairs in Tubo, a letter from a flying pigeon flew from distant Shu to Chang'an.
When Li Shimin saw this letter from Fei Ge, his expression turned extremely ugly.
He immediately wrote a letter and asked Eunuch Huang to pass it on to Li Jing and Luo Zhang, ordering them to quickly return reinforcements.
Such an urgent order, I don’t know what the letter from Shuzhong said!
