With Amur's help, Li Yuanai's plan to open the sea was like the Red Cliff waiting for the east wind, becoming the most critical helper.

Western maritime commerce is better than the East, and there are many things worth learning.

The Tang Dynasty did not lack the technology of navigation, but the experience of maritime businessmen.

With such a big stir, Li Yuanai didn't want to have to go to sea, Nanyang ships to port, etc. The merchants of the Tang Dynasty also had to keep up with the times, be able to trade with surrounding countries independently, and create an economic circle around the coast of the Tang Dynasty.

"This maritime merchant is a huge convenience for merchants. But for the country, it may not be the case."

Amur suddenly said something when Li Yuanai was learning the Western navigation business model.

Li Yuan Aiqi said: "Why is this?"

Amur smiled bitterly and said, "There are no distinction between loyalty and treacherous business at sea. Many merchants in our country colluded with the Great Food Kingdom early to lead the way for them. If they hadn't made trouble, Great Food might not have surpassed us in Caticia."

Amur is talking about the Battle of Caticia, which was a key battle between the Arab Army and the Persian Sassanid army, and it was also a landmark battle that laid the foundation for the rise of the Arab Empire.

The Arab Army was born for faith and was fearless of death.

The Sassanid Dynasty also had its own killer weapon, the Persian War Elephant Army.

Arabia established the initiative to occupy the country from the beginning, but when it was defeated, the Sassanian Dynasty sent their killer Persian war elephants. The terrifying Persian war elephants easily shattered the lineup of the *** army and obtained a chance to turn defeat into victory.

In the end, because the merchants revealed the weaknesses of Persian war elephants, the Persian war elephants lost control and did not distinguish between enemies and us, and finally fled the battlefield.

Losing the Persian elephant, the Sassanid dynasty was defeated that day.

A large number of officers were killed, and even Marshal Rustam was killed, proclaiming the end of the Second Persian Empire, which once spanned the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa.

When Li Yuanai heard this, he said solemnly: "You are reminding me that the interests are touching, so you can't be careless."

The Tang Dynasty is at the peak of this era, and under the invincible eyes, it will naturally feel like it is targeted by public criticism.

There are many people who have made secret ideas.

The wealth and interests are touching, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people who sell the country for profit.

Just like the merchants of the Sassanian dynasty.

Just thinking about it, Li Yuanai had an idea and said, "This maritime merchant is also something that everyone can do. You can get a maritime merchant approval document. Only merchants who are recognized by the court can be qualified to enter and exit the port. Leave the initiative to ourselves, and only merchants who are loyal to the court and those who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty are qualified to go overseas to go to business. Even if there is a real situation, there is still a source to find."

Amur was a little stunned when he heard this.

This approach is impossible to achieve in the West, and the power of their kings is not on the same level as that of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to form their own armed forces in the Tang Dynasty.

The status of a merchant is not even as good as a farmer on the surface.

Amur couldn't understand the reasons and did not think about it anymore, but gave a second suggestion.

"Your Highness, if your strength allows, my subordinates feel that they should send troops to occupy this territory. There are only a few thousand refugees on the island, which is easy to deal with."

Li Yuanai looked at Amur's finger with a burning look and said with a smile: "You are obsessed with this Moluo Kingdom!"

Amur's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am thinking of avenging my father, but I am really considering Your Highness. Now due to the hurricane, no one is willing to live by the sea. Once the route is smooth and profitable, it will be too late to start again."

Li Yuanai signaled him to get up and said, "I have a sense of my own affairs."

He said this, but his eyes were filled with desire to win.

That is the main throat of the Strait of Malacca, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It is the most important maritime channel for countries along the coast of Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe.

Especially in later generations, the Strait of Malacca was more prominent in its strategic significance, and it was an international waterway that could be compared with the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal.

If they take down the Strait of Malacca now, perhaps China will be able to fully control this Strait in the future.

After all, since the Tang Dynasty, the Strait of Malacca has been the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it succeeds or not, Li Yuanai thinks it can be tried, and it is worth it.

As for the typhoon issue, Li Yuanai didn't care at all. He was in the construction industry and worked in many typhoon areas in the south. Preventing typhoons is the most critical step in design. He has rich experience and has his own means to resist typhoons.

Even without Amur, Li Yuan Ai planned to use his means to apply for the construction of a Protectorate on the Malay Peninsula or Sumatra, just like in the Western Regions.

Now that I learned that the Malay Peninsula is an unmanned wilderness and does not belong to any country, it is easy to deal with.

Only with the consent of Li Shimin or Li Zhi, the plan can be implemented immediately.

Li Yuanai didn't know whether they would agree, but they would have to pay it back after all.

So in the letter submitted by Li Yuanai was as wronged as a young wife, saying that she was suffering and scolded.

Li Shimin's "edict" that cursed him with a slap in his head and face naturally passed on to him.

What else can Li Yuanai say about Li Shimin's move?

He is the emperor, and he is right.

I can only recognize it!

At this moment, Li Yuanai brought up the matter and made the two of them know their grievances and compensated them.

Jeju!

Jeju Governor Pu Ze was coming to the government office and glanced at the yamen runners at the door.

The yamen runner immediately replied: "There is no news yet."

Pu Zezheng looked anxious, just like a big girl waiting to marry, looking at the south and reluctantly dealing with Jeju official affairs.

Pu Ze was born in a poor family, but he was hardworking and studious, and was very filial. He was famous in the village. For some reason, he was favored by Cui's family in Qinghe. He married a girl named Cui's surnamed Cui to invest and earned her to study in Cuijia Academy.

Pu Zezheng graduated with excellent results and received support.

With his talent and opportunities, Pu Zezheng climbed to the position of governor in less than ten years and had a very good official reputation.

What Pu Zezheng is best at seizing opportunities, and the emergence of cotton caused a sensation.

The tax paid by Jiangnan East Road only relies on cotton, which ranks from the bottom, and jumps to the next three major economic centers, namely Guanzhong, Henan and Liangzhou.

The officials in the world were at a loss...

The commercial tax in a state of Suzhou directly exceeds the eastern capital Luoyang.

Although this is false, Li Yuanai cheated Baekje, Japan, and Martin, and the profits he received were innumerable, but they were also shocking.

This also made Pu Zezheng see the business opportunities.

Cotton is their Jeju specialty.

Before Li Yuan Ai launched cotton, their Jeju was famous for its white and thick white flowers.

Cotton should be grown in Jeju, not Gangnam.

Therefore, Pu Ze wrote a letter of three thousand words to seek cotton seeds with both voice and emotion, and sent a confidant envoy to Jiangnan.
