Li Yun took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'm poor. This is not an excuse to squeeze the Goguryeo people, but what if I say it another way? Maybe everyone will understand what I mean."

Everyone couldn't help but look at him, put their breath away and waited for his statement.

This time, Li Yun slowly let out a breath and suddenly smiled and said, "If a person is poor, he has to make money. To put it bluntly, I have only one extremely simple purpose for all the planning and arrangements of Goguryeo. If you are poor, you have to make money, but that's just..."

He pondered for a while, suddenly smiled and said confidently: "Others who are poor only think about making money, but I am poor but not like this. What I think is getting rich!"

As he said that, he looked at the room full of people and said with great meaning: "The plan for Goguryeo is the foundation for my prosperity."

...

I'm poor, so I'm going to get rich!

This is what Li Yun’s words bring to everyone.

Compared to expanding territory and governing the country and pacifying the world, it seems that suddenly getting rich can attract the younger generations of the royal family. King Li Tai of Wei stood up first, looked at Li Yun with a hurry and asked: "Does cousin say that he is making money... Uh, it's not a conspiracy, but a peerless strategy, a mistake in tongue, a mistake in tongue, and a mistake in tongue, a mistake in tongue, and a mistake in tongue."

Another little girl sat next to Li Yuan. She looked over with excitement on her face and said eagerly: "Brother, I'm talking about making money, I'm talking about making money..."

Li Yun looked at her and found that it was Princess Gaoyang. The little girl couldn't wait, and her big round eyes seemed to have turned into copper coins.

When discussing state affairs before, the princesses in the room kept silent. At this time, they finally got the opportunity to interrupt. In an instant, they only heard a chattering in the room. But when they saw a little beauty about fifteen or sixteen years old, they suddenly poked their heads out of the corner regardless of shyness and shouted to Li Yun from afar: "Brother, Qinghe also needs to learn to make money. You know, Cheng Chumo is generous. He has not learned other skills with you, but he only learned how to pay the people. But he doesn't know how to make money. He always has to borrow money from me every time he lacks money. We have more business and can't stand his thrift..."

This time the person who spoke was Princess Qinghe.

Li Yun laughed and couldn't help but quip: "Girl, you haven't passed the door yet. Are you thinking about your own little home now?"

A group of girls suddenly burst into the room.

Princess Qinghe's pretty face turned red, but she tried hard to restrain her shyness. She suddenly pointed at A Yao and said solemnly: "I want to learn from A Yao's sister-in-law and be a thrifty family in the future. My father and mother just taught everyone that life needs to be long-lasting..."

"No, very good!" Li Yun's tone suddenly became serious, and he praised repeatedly: "Life is like this, and it is a virtue to flow slowly."

But he immediately turned his tone and smiled at Princess Qinghe, "But, virtue is virtue, but it cannot be too rigid. It is good to have a long flow of water, but we have to hurry up if we have the opportunity to get rich. Qinghe girl, do you think this is the case?"

Princess Qinghe was smart and instantly understood Li Yun’s hint. The little girl immediately cheered and said excitedly: “Colonel, are you going to bring your girl to make a fortune?”

"Ha ha!"

Li Yun laughed loudly, suddenly glanced at the audience, and said with great meaning: "Not only bring you one, but you also have to bring everyone. The people sitting in this room are all their own family. Brother, I am not the kind of person who favors one or the other."

"Wow!"

This time there was a cheering room full of joy.

After all, this was the seventh year of Zhenguan, and there were not many adults in the royal family. Don’t look at one or two who were all named as kings or princesses, in fact, it was all a group of half-large little kids.

The children cheered when they made money.

The adults were excited.

For example, Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian, and even the Da Zongzheng of the royal family, the two were both heads of the family lineage, and when they heard about making money, they were all concerned.

Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help but sit upright. The emperor and his wife knew how great Li Yun was to make money. If they could say the word "get rich" from Li Yun, it would definitely be a profitable industry comparable to Fanyang Trading Center.

"Say, say it quickly!"

Li Shimin spoke directly, and the emperor's tone was faintly urgent. At this time, the emperor didn't care about standing at the door with his hands behind his back and pretending, and stood directly next to Li Yun only one step away.

Empress Changsun became even more straightforward. She signed up without asking what Li Yun was going to do and said loudly: "Are you short of money? Tell me to the second aunt if you lack money. I asked the Internal Affairs Office to prepare five million guan first, which is to prepare you for a starting capital."

Li Yun's face twitched and said in disappointment: "You have taken out five million guan, and at least you have to recover five five million guan from me."

Queen Changsun was shocked and said in surprise: "It's only five times the profit? Your business is not profitable enough this time."

Li Yun was stunned.

He didn't expect that he had already raised the second aunt's appetite so much.

The five-fold profit was shocked. Is there any reason in the world? What is the concept of five-fold? In later generations, it is 500% huge profits. Apart from the industries written in the criminal law, Li Yun really didn't expect any industry to be so cruel.

Fortunately, someone tried to smooth things over, and a little girl with pink and jade suddenly spoke and said tenderly: "Brother, brother, Yizi also supports you. I have ten tons of private money, and I don't want my brother to repay you."

Immediately afterwards, another little girl's voice said a little timidly: "Yaya also wants to support her. Yaya has saved hundreds of copper coins. It was the money given to me by Brother Li Zhi and the money given to me by Brother Li Ke. I don't want to repay you, brother, you are already very poor."

"Oh, I was slapped in the face by the little villains!" Queen Changsun chuckled and walked over and joked at the two little guys.

Weizi suddenly acted like a coquettish move, while Xiao Yaya fell into the queen's arms with a look of admiration. The two little guys pleased each other, and soon the queen didn't care about the investment.

Only then did Li Yun free up his thoughts and begin to express his plans and plans.

He saw Li Shimin standing close, first walked away without a trace, then leaned slanted at the door, looking at the boundless night outside and said, "The place of Goguryeo is generally a part of the white mountains and black water. There are many deep mountains and old forests and many fertile fields. The north is full of mountains and forests, producing various mountain products, such as ginseng, marten, jackals, tigers and leopards, and meat from robes and deer..."

Li Shimin subconsciously intervened and pondered: "I used to think this was a mountain product, but now everyone knows that it's all money."

"It's money, but not huge profits!" Li Yun followed and continued: "The central Goguryeo is an endless plain. This part of the land is extremely fertile and is a treasure land that can grow crops with just one plow. It just so happens that we already have the high-yield seeds brought back from overseas by Wen Zhongzi, which can turn the central Goguryeo into a special grain planting area."

Li Shimin was a little thoughtful this time, and he was a little uncertain and guessed: "The north relies on the forest production materials, and the central part planned to become a special grain-growing area. There are tens of millions of mu of land in Goguryeo. If all the grains are planted, it can almost satisfy half of the Central Plains. If I promote high-yield grain in the Tang Dynasty, there will be no more people starving to death in the world. Not only will people not starve, but there may be too much food to eat. So I guess that there must be one thing for your business to sell, but I don't know where you will sell the grain..."

Li Yun did not comment and continued: "There are eleven cities on the east and west sides of the central Goguryeo, with the west side facing the Bohai Sea and the east side facing the ocean. Among them, there are six cities that are special. They are treasure lands that are both coastal and along the river. Fishing and hunting are extremely developed, and the sea water can dry salt."

This time, he did not wait for Li Shimin to interrupt and said very quickly: "The entire southern part of Goguryeo is bordered by Silla. Everyone knows that Silla women are good at raising silkworms, and the same is true for women in southern Goguryeo."

After Li Yun's slightest explanation, he had obviously skilled the situation of Goguryeo. When everyone in the room listened to his explanation, they could abstract the general situation of Goguryeo out of thin air.

Every area has something suitable for development.

As the emperor of a country, Li Shimin had already faintly heard something at this time. The emperor was in charge of a country and could best understand the macro plan. He suddenly looked at Li Yun and asked in a deep voice: "The northern mountain and forest materials, the central grain-growing and producing areas, the east and west sides, fishing, hunting and salt drying, and the entire south, developing mulberry silkworms. This is a huge integrated industry. You want to turn the entire Goguryeo into the Bohai Kingdom's material supply and logistics support, right?"

Li Yun nodded without hesitation, but added another sentence, saying: "Yes, not right. Goguryeo's plan is not just about supplying and protecting the Bohai Sea. I have already said before that I will squeeze the Goguryeo people hard in the first five years. Through this method, I will inevitably obtain a large amount of materials. Some of these materials are used to supply all the people of the Bohai Sea, but more of them are to be transported out for trade."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said as if he was pointing out: "My Tang Dynasty is still very poor, I'm afraid I can't make you rich."

Li Yun smiled and said ambiguously: "Second uncle, have you forgotten that the more materials you have, the richer the people. The faster money is, the more money you are. If the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai Sea trade, the entire Central Plains people will benefit."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yun deeply and suddenly said, "But your main target will definitely not be the Tang Dynasty. I always feel that you want to rely on these materials to plunder elsewhere."

This ability to see through hidden abilities may only be qualified for the emperor of a country.

Sure enough, Li Yun smiled and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes seemed to be about to cut through the thick night sky, and he clearly looked to the west of the sky.

Li Shimin immediately realized his heart, but when he heard the emperor speak out two words in a very solemn and ask: "Western Regions?"

Li Yun replied with four words and smiled: "Silk Road."
