News about the truce between Goguryeo and Baekje spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the people of Tang Dynasty were discussing this war.
There are also some concerns about the truce between the two sides.
Many people with lofty ideals even wanted to donate money to the Tang Dynasty so that the court could send more troops to the border areas to prevent the war from spreading to the Tang Dynasty's borders in the coming year.
Xintang also learned about the truce between the two sides.
In this regard, Jin Shengman said that as a result, Nuvoton's development may still have to be cautious.
Don't be too aggressive. She feels a little uncomfortable at this time.
After all, there is still much that needs to be rebuilt in the country.
However, she soon got the news.
They came from Li Shimin and Li Min respectively.
They all contributed.
Li Shimin's army arrived in Qingzhou and kept an eye on the domestic trends in Baekje.
Cheongju is not far from Baekje, and you don’t have to worry about heavy snow or ice in the water.
Moreover, Datang's fleet was also very powerful, and Baekje's coastline was long. If the coast was in danger, Baekje would definitely not be able to send troops to New Tang.
Li Min, through his relationship with the Tang Dynasty, told Baekje and Goguryeo that the New Tang Dynasty was his ally. It is inviolable. If they want to infringe, they must think twice. Another piece of news was also secretly released, about a helicopter descending from the sky, so that both parties did not dare to act recklessly.
A few days later, a helicopter flew over the top of the tenement building.
When the helicopter stopped, Li Min and five other wives came forward.
Then, a person got off the helicopter.
It was Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang has been going to Xintang for a long time.
Over time, he completed his mission there as well.
Came back today.
When he got off the helicopter, he directly saw Li Min and others.
Everyone was panicked.
In panic, he quickly stepped forward.
"Sir, what are you..."
"I was thinking that you were back, so I came up to welcome you back. Thank you for your hard work this time!"
If it hadn't been for him this time, things might not have gone so smoothly. It can be said that Su Dingfang played a big role in establishing New Tang Dynasty.
It was reasonable to come out to greet him.
Su Dingfang was so moved.
"Sir, it's not hard!"
He said. This time it was easier than last time.
"Come, I've set up a banquet down below to welcome you! Also, tell me about the current situation of Xintang!"
Su Dingfang immediately said: "Yes! Sir!"
Then, he and Li Min went down to the top floor.
Li Min held a banquet there to entertain Su Dingfang alone.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Su Dingfang talked about New Tang Dynasty and the development there. Everything was developing in the planned direction.
Li Min also listened with rapt attention.
At the same time, he also had thoughts in his mind.
Finally, Su Dingfang suddenly asked: "Sir, what is New Tang's positioning? Jin Shengman keeps asking me, and I don't know how to reply."
Ji Ruxue then said: "Yes, we also want to know how your husband positions New Tang Dynasty!"
Speaking of New Tang, it should be regarded as the seventh base of Shengtang Group.
Because of its addition, the focus of the other six bases has changed slightly.
The specific changes are a bit of an adjustment.
At this time, Li Min thought for a while.
He said: "As for New Tang Dynasty, I actually had an idea on the day Jin Shengman returned. Please listen to me!"
So, he added: "Chang'an Tanglou, as the first base, is responsible for research on medicine, people's livelihood, science and technology, etc.!
The second base is in Jiangzhou and is mainly responsible for military-related research! It is also used as a gold base!
The third base is for Yangzhou and Taizhou, which is a ship research and economic base! And it also serves as a seafood hub.
And the fourth base is the entire place of Nutang, where research will be conducted except for military matters!
The fifth base was Qingzhou shipbuilding and smelting, and Xue Rengui went to station it.
The sixth base is Kuizhou! It is a mineral smelting base and also used for researching medicine.
The Seventh Base, Xintang, is a research and gold-producing place in addition to military affairs. "
As different bases are added, the aspects they involve are somewhat different.
Such important matters as military research must be completed within the territory of Datang.
Other aspects can be studied elsewhere.
Because military things are so important.
Don't let some weapons fall into the hands of others.
If you do research outside, everything becomes very uncontrollable.
This is why Li Min treats several other bases differently.
"One thing I have to say is that you should not talk to others about military research."
"Yes sir!"
Su Dingfang said.
"Come on, come on, eat, eat, eat!"
Li Min then invited Su Dingfang to eat.
"yes!"
The group of people waited and began to eat.
At this time, Zhu Shan came looking again.
"Sir! There's news!"
he said.
"What's up?"
"Two things!"
Li Min put down his cup.
"explain!"
"The first thing is that His Majesty tried to inquire about the longevity medicine through many channels. Master Sun was so annoyed that he didn't even dare to leave the house!"
"This guy! He's so annoying!"
This Li Shimin is really persistent.
As a result, Sun Simiao couldn't concentrate at all.
Zheng Liwan said: "Mr. Master, why don't you let Sun Zhenren go to work in a hot spring resort?"
Zheng Liwan’s suggestion is not bad.
Li Min said: "It's feasible. Also, Master Sun's itinerary must be kept secret. Except for a few key people who know his whereabouts, no one else is allowed to mention it!"
"Yes, I'll take care of it in a moment!"
Zhu Shan said.
"What about the second thing?"
"The second thing is that His Majesty has allowed the caravan to enter New Tang Dynasty. According to the information we received from the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty wants to compete with Shengtang Group for the New Tang Dynasty market!"
"This guy, hey!"
Li Min sighed.
He knew that Li Shimin controlled that group of rich people.
And made a lot of money through them.
This guy is really strong.
He actually gained wealth this way.
And why merchants and not the army.
Li Min also understood very well.
Because Li Shimin was also worried that he would be involved in the war.
That costs money.
However, Li Min didn't want to pay attention to it.
Then let him be.
"There are some things that His Majesty and others cannot compete with. Our Shengtang Group has unique advantages!" Wu Yi said.
"Yes, Yi'er is right! And only through competition can we make progress. I don't believe how much he can take away from Nuvoton."
Li Min confirmed Wu Yi's words.
"Then what do we do?"
Zhu Shan said.
"What to do? Let him go, it's a trivial matter! Don't worry about it!"
Li Min didn't have much time to worry about this with Li Shimin.
Since he also wants Nunotang's market, let him do it.
Time flies so fast, and it’s only a few days before the Chinese New Year is here again.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Li Min doesn’t know what kind of shocking things he will create again.
There were a lot of discussions in Chang'an City, but no one could guess it.
