At this point, all the business for today is done.
Li Shimin waved, and Tang Tang ran over.
"Grandpa, second uncle, were you conferring official titles on them just now?"
Naturally, she didn't know the meaning of those rewards at such a young age, but after all, she had grown up in the Tang family, and she had heard about princes and the like since she was a child.
"Yes, they all worked very hard to help my uncle and the Tang Dynasty do a lot of things, so my uncle gave them official posts to thank them!"
Li Shimin scratched her little nose, making her giggle.
"Then second uncle, why didn't you give my father an official title? Didn't he help my uncle and the Tang Dynasty? In the past, when my father was not at home, Auntie Xiaoluo said that my father had gone to help the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed out loud.
"Look, look at this daughter of yours. She already loves you at such a young age!" Li Shimin pointed at Tang Ping and smiled.
Of course, he would not forget Tang Ping's reward. He just planned to announce it in front of all the civil and military officials after returning to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, Tang Tang actually knew how to help his father fight the injustice.
"Then what rank do you think I should give your father?" Li Shimin asked Tang Tang with a smile.
"Don't give dad an official title!" Tang Tang said so shockingly that Li Shimin didn't expect it.
"Why?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Because after becoming a high official, my father will go out again." Tang Tang said seriously: "So I think my second uncle should give me a high official title, so that when my father goes out in the future, he can take me with him! "
In her heart, she felt that Tang Ping went out because he became a high official, and the reason why he didn't take her with him was because he was not a high official.
So she was not here to avenge Tang Ping, but to seek reward for herself.
Li Shimin didn't expect Tang Tang to think this way, and was made to laugh again.
"Okay, if Tang Tang wants to be a high official, then be a high official. Then how big of an official do you want to be?"
"The biggest!" Tang Tang was afraid that he didn't understand what he said, so he stretched out his two little hands to the longest position and drew a circle. The way he opened his teeth and claws was so cute.
"Okay, okay, second uncle and grandpa will make you the highest official!" Li Shimin looked at her fondly: "Second uncle and grandpa will make you...the Princess of the East China Sea, how about it?"
"Is it big?" Tang Tang was afraid that he would seal himself too small.
"It's very big. Your mother is also a princess. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask her?"
"Second uncle, Tang Tang was just joking." Tang Ping said, not expecting Li Shimin to take it seriously.
"But I'm not joking, you have no joke!" Li Shimin looked at Tang Ping with a smile: "Tell me about you. How many times have I said that I would make you a county king, but you have refused. What do you say to me? I like the title Ping Guo Gong, doesn’t it sound good to Ping Guo Duke?”
Tang Ping had a dark look on his face, why did he talk about himself again? He really didn't care about this.
He feels that the various positions now are too much. Now that Tangtang is available, he is even more willing to stay in Shanghe Village to eat and wait until death to coax his daughter.
[In view of the general environment,
Who wants to be the king of this county? Maybe he will be left with some troublesome things when the time comes.
And the situation in the DPRK is actually very subtle. Tang Ping doesn’t quite understand the details, but he doesn’t want to get too involved.
But it would be fine if Li Shimin wanted to make Tang Tang a princess. .
Tang Tang's mother, Wang Qingluan, was originally the Queen of Dongyue. According to this calculation, Tang Tang should have been the princess when she was born. Now that she has been promoted to a princess, no one will say anything.
After all, this kind of reward for women in this era is a kind of honor and will not change the political structure of the DPRK and China.
So just do what Li Shimin said.
Only Tang Tang cheered: "Tang Tang has become a high official, Tang Tang
Become a high official! "
After the celebration banquet, the East China Sea Fleet will be directly in Ryukyu... No, now it should be called the treasure island of Taiwan.
They will rest in the treasure island of Taiwan for half a month before continuing northward and returning to Chang'an via East Vietnam via the original route.
Of course, some of them will be stationed permanently in coastal ports such as Taiwan and East Vietnam in the future.
It's just that they are no longer warships modified from these pirate ships, but will slowly be replaced with steam engine-powered warships.
Tang Ping took Li Shimin, Lao Cui, Lao Du and others back to Chang'an again.
When Li Shimin returned to the palace, he had to quickly arrange for the prefect to take office in Taiwan and complete the handover of monk Sixian.
Tang Ping checked a lot of information and compiled a map of Taiwan's mineral resources.
Now that this is our own territory, we can of course produce this kind of mineral resource map.
Although modern Taiwan's coal mines are basically exhausted, with an annual output of less than 100,000 tons, it does not mean that there are no coal mines in Taiwan.
You must know that in 1864 alone, Taiwan's coal output reached 4,315 tons.
Coal is an important fuel for steam engine-powered battleships. If it is supplied from the mainland, the cost will be much higher.
And if coal mines are excavated on-site in Taiwan, the scope of activities of Datang warships on Taiwan Island can be further expanded in the future.
In addition, Taiwan is also rich in gold and silver minerals, which were illegally mined during the period when it was occupied by Xiaotian.
These are huge wealth, and as long as they can be mined reasonably, they will definitely be a huge income.
Datang has been developing at a high speed. Although it is making more and more money, it is also using more and more.
Tang Ping has been away for more than a year, and the roads between the capitals of various places in the Tang Dynasty are already less than half cement roads, and half of them are charcoal roads. The muddy official roads in the past are no longer pure among the capitals of various places.
Next, Datang will slowly begin to replace the roads between all capitals with cement roads.
Even the roads from the capital to the secondary cities below must be built with cement or charcoal residue.
Li Shimin understands the principle of building roads first if he wants to get rich. He is extremely fanatical about infrastructure construction.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has long been left with the tax revenue it just received, and when it changes hands, it has to be given to the Ministry of Works for infrastructure construction.
So no matter how much money he has, he feels it is not enough.
After getting Tang Ping's mineral resource map, Li Shimin was so ecstatic that he didn't even have time to wait for the East China Sea Fleet to return to Chang'an. Instead, he directly sent the Minister of Industry to take the newly built warship south this year. After rendezvousing with the East China Sea Fleet on the way, he took the People first went to Taiwan to establish the mine.
"Hey, Tang Ping, I think these mineral maps can make you a king. How about you consider it? If you think Pingguo County Prince is not good, I can give you another one?"
"No, no, I'm just here to give you this mineral map. If nothing happens, I'll go back. Today, I said I would give the little fat guy a bath with Tang Tang."
Xiaopang is now considered an adult panda, but because Li Bai has domesticated it very well, he is very obedient.
Tang Tang has played with it since he was a child and grew up together.
Now, if Little Fatty is around Tang Tang and Tang Ping wants to get close, he will grin at Tang Ping.
Of course, the consequences will basically be that Li Bai will receive a large amount of money from his pocket.
