Seeing that Luo Zhang actually said he couldn't do it, Li Shimin was also stunned. Luo Zhang had always been a descendant of the gods in Li Shimin's heart and could do anything.
Although there are still doubts about Luo Zhang's identity, the things he created are all magical means, whether it is gunpowder, wooden lumps, offshore ships, distant sea ships, as well as powerful artillery, armor, weapons, and food. People's potatoes, these are not something ordinary people can make.
Not to mention that Luo Zhang never lost a battle when he led his troops. As long as he participated or led the army, he would basically win the final victory.
Otherwise, the title of Li Jing's Army God would not be crowned on Luo Zhang's head.
But this time, Luo Zhang actually said he couldn't do it, which put a big question mark in Li Shimin's mind.
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Luo Zhang knew that he must be overthinking it. He smiled bitterly and explained: "Your Majesty, this kerosene is extracted from crude oil. I know how to do it, but where can I get it?" If more crude oil comes, the output will be different in different places. The big food countries are rich in crude oil, but the crude oil here is not as rich as theirs, so it is impossible to be like them!"
There is another thing Luo Zhang didn't say. It's not impossible. Datang has crude oil, but it's just a few kilometers underground. How can we do this? It’s complete nonsense!
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you can't get it. Don't we still have artillery? That's something they don't have!" Li Shimin comforted himself.
This is true. Artillery is not that easy to make. Even if the Big Food Country wants to make artillery, it will take hundreds of years. After all, the forging of steel is the first problem. Without steel, artillery can be made. It will also explode and many people will die. Of course, the ones who die will be our own people.
In other words, both sides have their own advantages, and it is still unclear who will win in the real battle.
"What's going on in Japan now?" Li Shimin changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, I just received the letter the day before yesterday. Japan is now completely in our hands. I have ordered Liu Renyuan to arrange for the Japanese to mine gold and silver as soon as possible and supply it to our Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Luo Zhang said with a sigh of relief.
At this time, Japan was indeed as Luo Zhang said. Liu Renyuan arranged for people to capture the young adults in Japan. Although they were resisted, Luo Zhang had given an order that anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy!
Luo Zhang has no good impression of this nation. No matter now or in the future, they will never change.
Originally, Luo Zhang could directly wipe out this nation, but in order to make them atone for their sins, the latter had some use value, so he asked Liu Renyuan to arrange for them to mine.
If these people were not needed, people from the Tang Dynasty would have to be sent. Luo Zhang did not want his own people to do such hard work.
One day, Luo Zhang even wanted to colonize the Kingdom of the Sun, the Romans, and the Byzantines to let them know what it was like to be colonized.
What Genghis Khan could do, Luo Zhang didn't believe that a successor like him could not do it.
Isn't it just to be recorded in the annals of history? Now that I have come to this world, I will naturally be recorded in the annals of history in a glorious manner, otherwise my trip will not be in vain.
The entire Dongying Island has now become a purgatory on earth. There are cries everywhere. The man has been arrested and the woman has no support. It is difficult not to cry.
But who said they were so ambitious? They wanted to join forces with Gaogu Li, Eastern Turks, and Changsun Wuji to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.
Ambition comes with a price, and now is the time for them to pay it.
Some people may ask why such punishment was not imposed on the Gaoguli people.
The people of Gaoguli only talk about it, but they don't take action like the Japanese people.
Besides, wouldn't Gaoguli be enslaved by the Japanese in the future, so the culprits are still the Japanese.
In the hot spring pool, when Luo Zhang said that a large amount of gold and silver would be shipped to the Tang Dynasty from Japan in the near future, Li Shimin's mouth finally showed a smile.
Although the current treasury is no longer as empty as it used to be, who would think that there is too much money? ,
These years of fighting have cost a huge amount. If it weren't for the potatoes Luo Zhang made, the people would no longer be hungry. Internal and external troubles would have been minor, and subversion would have been possible.
With this money, he can do a lot of things and benefit more people. Li Shimin is naturally happy.
Luo Zhang admired Li Shimin. He was not as face-saving as other princes, and he was also a pragmatic monarch. If he was cruel and unkind, he was afraid that Luo Zhang would be the first to rebel against him, and would also let him Is he sitting in that position properly?
