Lu Dongzan returned to the Potala Palace, walked to Songtsen Gampo and said, "Tang Xuanzang has left safely."

Songtsen Gampo said: "Didn't they make things difficult for Tang Xuanzang?"

Lu Dongzan looked at Songzan Gampo, "This time is a warning, and if you commit it again next time, it will not be like this."

Songtsen Gampo looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said, "I understand."

Looking at Songtsen Gampo's eyes that were no longer fighting spirit, Lu Dongzan said: "I decided to attack those Western Regions countries."

Looking back at Lu Dongzan, Songzan Gampo said, "Why?"

Lu Dongzan said: "Have we always been like this?"

When will the Central Plains be clear? If Zanpu has done nothing, I can only do it myself."

Songtsen Gampo held Buddhist beads in his hand, "You can rob several small countries in the Western Regions to make sure that you can make up the accounts."

"That's better than just sitting there waiting for death!"

Lu Dongzan said loudly.

The sound was loud and all the Tubo monks around him looked over.

Lu Dongzan looked at Songzan Gampo and said, "Is it because Tubo was hopeless?

That's because Zamp is an ambitious person, what about now?

Zanpu, what kind of person you have become! You have long lost the fighting spirit you used to be. Look at what you are now."

Songzan Gampo wanted to say something, but Lu Dongzan had turned around and left.

Standing there, Songtsen Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan's back and walked further and further away, swallowing everything he wanted to say, and sighed.

Japan

Shuxin and the new king of Japan, Su Woxin, watched trucks of grain be moved from the ship.

Su Woxin said excitedly: "We have food in the national teacher."

He smiled and said, "These food is not enough for us to spend this winter, and we must hurry up and buy a batch of food."

When Su Woxin heard this, he was a little hesitant, "How much food can I still sell to us in Chang'an Order?"

"The Central Plains has been a bumper harvest in the past two years, and there is a lot of food in the Central Plains."

Su Woxin looked at the ocean and said, "But I have frequent disasters in Japan, and this year the sea has flooded back and flooded so much food."

He whispered in a low voice: "Fortunately, Chang'an Order has helped us."

Su Woxin said again: "But this batch of grain costs us 60,000 jin of silver. Where can we have so much silver in Japan?"

Su Woxin said with satisfaction: "Dear King, you are standing above the entire country of Japan. Goguryeo is pressing step by step. We cannot retreat at this moment. Once we retreat, Goguryeo will become more and more aggressive. It is the critical moment of survival and death. We cannot be restrained because of this money.

Don’t we have so many silver mines?”

Su Woxin said, “Are you right to say I did this?”

He looked at Su Woxin and said, "If the king is good at everything and is wrong to watch his people suffer from the suffering of war."

Hearing this, Su Woxin's eyes became much more firm, "You are right. I can't watch the people of Japan suffer. How dare I ask the national teacher what should we do now?"

Said: "Call the people and start digging silver mines, prepare money to buy grain and weapons. Although our money is spent now, these are temporary pains. As long as we take down Goguryeo, the fertile land of Goguryeo is from Japan. Japan is in a small place and disasters occur frequently."

Seeing Su Woxin had not made a decision yet.

Successfully continued, "Dear King, Chang'an Ling said something before, "It is said that man will conquer heaven. Others say that God will pity the people, but Chang'an Ling never believed in God. Whether it is a disaster or a man-made disaster, God never pity the world. It will only watch people die coldly. Believing in God is useless, only believe in itself. Since ancient times, people have been fighting with the sky. In the most difficult times, people have saved themselves. There are stories about Yugong moving mountains in the Central Plains, and the story of Dayu controlling the flood. These are all about saying that people are only saving themselves when they are suffering."

Su Woxin murmured in a low voice, "Man conquers nature?"

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, man conquers nature!"

Su Woxin looked into the distance and said, "I know what to do. You are right. I will arrange for people to collect silver mines. Anyone who opposes will be enemies of the entire country."

Seeing Su Wonin's passionate look, he smiled with satisfaction.

What I didn't say is that the real reason for Japan's poverty is not that there is little food or that there are too many disasters.

It is the Japanese who lack wisdom and knowledge.

Of course, there is no need to tell Su Woxin about these things, and they do not have the wisdom of the Central Plains.

I looked at the other side of the ocean with satisfaction, but I didn’t know what Chang'an Order was doing now.

Now, from Goguryeo to Japan step by step, the plan of the Chang'an Order is being implemented step by step.

At this time, maybe in a few years, you can return to your hometown.

People in the Central Plains miss their hometown, and they have been wandering outside for so long. This homesickness has always been there.

Even though I enjoy the glory and wealth in Japan, I feel that these are all passing clouds.

They are all short-lived. Does Japan have a future?

Until all goals are achieved, neither His Majesty nor Chang'an Order will give Japan a long-term future.

The Japanese have no idea what they lack the most.

As long as Japan remains in their own cognition, they will not be strong for a day. Even if they have food and troops, without wisdom and cognitive ability, their future will be locked in the present.

I turned around and followed Su Woxin's footsteps.

On the Central Plains west of Japan, crossing the East China Sea.

Duan Lun and Yan Lide sat on the East Sea, with waves slamming on the shore again and again.

Yan Lide held the drawing in his hand and said, "Just choose the address here."

Duan Lun said, "I go to the surrounding counties to find people, and you and the students of the academy will arrange the construction matters."

Yan Lide put away the drawings and said, "If everything goes well, build a small workshop before the beginning of spring next year, and we will expand the construction next year."

In Yan Lide's hands, there is also a compass and a huge nautical chart.

After I have never seen the sea, I don’t know how vast the sea is.

Now standing by the East Sea, Yan Lide saw the vast sea and experienced the vastness of the sea. Yan Lide became more and more curious about what the world on the other side of the sea was like.

There is even a legend about fairy mountains overseas. I wonder if this legend is true or what kind of wealth does the other side of the sea have.

In Chang'an, Li Shimin stood on the city wall and watched the planting project.

Now a piece of green, originally deserted yellow land west of Chang'an is now planted with grass.
