After glanced at everyone, Yang Fan asked slowly and said, "What do you think the purpose of these envoys coming to the Tang Dynasty is for?"

Before Fang Xuanling and others could answer, Li Shimin was impatient to reply: "The Tang Dynasty is so powerful that it is of course the Tang Dynasty came to admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty."

His nostrils were all facing the sky, which was simply arrogant. However, the Tang Dynasty was indeed superior to the foreigners. With his reason for his pride, Li Shimin was even more narcissistic when he saw everyone without refuting it.

Looking at Li Shimin like a child, Yang Fan was speechless and asked again: "Do you know what these envoys or foreign students who came with them are studying in the Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling. As the prime minister, he knew best how to arrange these foreign tribes.

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Foreign students entered the side door and did not enter the Imperial College. At most, some people were in Taipu Temple."

Hearing the answer, Yang Fan immediately showed an expression that was indeed like this. Others came to steal your skills, so of course they would not go to the Imperial College to study the Four Books and Five Classics.

I can't catch up with the people of the Celestial Empire. What they really want to steal is the specialty that the Celestial Empire thinks is a non-brainer.

As Yang Fan's problem deepened, Li Shimin, who was so angry that he smoked on his head, couldn't help but frown and thoughtfully.

However, Cheng Yaojin and others were a little confused, and it was not their fault, after all, the limitations of the times.

In the end, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask what everyone was thinking: "What's wrong with these foreign students studying in a non-school school?"

When asked, Yang Fan stopped hiding it, and coughed dryly, cleared his throat and explained:

"Foreign bachelors who enter the side door seem useless, but in fact they have a wolf's ambitions. For example, learning agriculture can increase grain output, and learning smelting can make armor and weapons. Even if you enter Taipu Temple, in addition to being able to produce animal husbandry, it can also reduce the loss of war horses. These seemingly useless side doors are precisely the supreme way to enhance national strength."

As the saying goes, the world has yin and yang, the moon has profit and loss, and the dynasty is the same. Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, they dare not move, so who can guarantee that it will always be like this?

One profit and one loss, there are huge variables. If a certain vassal state learned the most advanced technology and its national strength was always increasing, and the national strength declined during a certain period of the Tang Dynasty, would you say that Pan Guo would show his teeth?

Following Yang Fan's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, but then Li Ke was a little confused.

He stood up and asked, "How to prevent these technologies from spreading? Do you drive them away directly? Doesn't this mean that our heavenly dynasty is too petty? In addition, in this way, wouldn't it be useless for students from the Tang Dynasty to study in the Imperial College?"

After taking a sip of tea, it moistened the dry throat, Yang Fan continued to answer the questions:

"Of course, you can't drive them away directly. Seizing the country will only make you stand up for yourself, but we must take the most advanced core technology into our hands. The best way is to vigorously develop advanced technology, which will always be more advanced and stronger than other vassal states. As for whether it is useful to enter the Imperial College for study, the answer is of course yes. There are many things passed down by our ancestors that are worth learning and reference, including the great principles of governing the country, managing the family, and cultivating oneself, which is an indispensable part of a country's prosperity."

Seeing everyone nodding frequently, Yang Fan had a chance to become a teacher, while King Li Ke of Wu had his eyes shining, and there was disbelief in it.

His father and prime minister were actually listening with relish like students, and he nodded frequently in agreement. If they hadn't come out of the palace together, he would have really thought that he had encountered a fake emperor.

After Yang Fan finished speaking, he was silent for a while. Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed to Yang Fan, sighing: "I didn't expect that my friend was worried about the country and the people, and he thought so thoroughly and profoundly. We are short-sighted. Please accept a greeting from Fang."

Li Shimin looked gloomy and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This stick is too evil. Fortunately, he is impulsive and has weaknesses in his greed for money and lust. Otherwise, such a person can only endure the pain and get rid of it."

Seeing Fang Xuanling so cautious, Yang Fan felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic:

"Well... this is just a personal opinion. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me. Come on, drink tea, and brew some boiled water. Oh, by the way, only a few kilograms of tea in West Lake Longjing. If you like to drink it, you can bring some for you later."

Yang Fan's words immediately made Li Shimin a little stunned and asked hurriedly: "They all have them, what about me?"

Yang Fan said sarcastically: "Old Li, aren't you a rich man?"

Knowing that this kid was revenge on him, Li Shimin did not answer any more, but wanted to suppress the boy's arrogance, so he spoke: "I decided to ask Your Majesty to ask him to write Hangzhou and list West Lake Longjing Tea as a tribute. It can only be used by the royal family and is not allowed to flow into the people."

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was so domineering. When he came to get rid of the firewood, Li Ke secretly looked at Yang Fan and thought to himself that you have great talents, but how could you like to be twisted? How could your father be able to make fun of it casually?

Although Li Shimin is usually strong in nature, he almost never ordered that certain types of tributes should not flow into the people. As I said just now, in this way, the West Lake Longjing tea is only available for the Da Nei Palace, and if you want to drink it, you cannot ask him for it.

But what surprised Li Ke was that Yang Fan had no strange expression on his face and said happily: "Old Li, thank you. If this tea is loved by His Majesty, it is a great honor."

Li Shimin was a little confused. What was going on? He asked quickly: "If Your Majesty agrees, this tea will be listed as a tribute in the future. Do you still thank me?"

Of course, understanding what Li Shimin meant, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Li, you don't know. I have bought all the tea trees near West Lake in Hangzhou and have been registered with the local government. Therefore, West Lake Longjing tea is now my personal property. If Your Majesty wants to buy it, I think Your Majesty will not force the people's private property."

Fortunately, he was foresighted and bought all the land first. Otherwise, if Li Er had really issued an imperial edict, wouldn't this famous Chinese tea become his royal property?

As a tribute, West Lake Longjing is a good one, but it is impossible to sell it to him. If you have the name of tribute tea, this is a good input.

Li Ke's eyes twitched, and his heart was so powerful that he was so terrible that he could not miss it. He plotted his father in and learned another trick.

Turning to look at Li Shimin, he found that his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, on the verge of an explosion.

I thought I would save the game, but I made a wedding dress for Yang Fan. No wonder Li Shimin was so depressed.

If this tea place is owned by the Hangzhou government, it will be listed as a tribute tea and will not be allowed to be traded by the private sector, and it will be nothing.

But if it has been bought by Yang Fan, the nature will be different. He is a person who is determined to be a wise ruler and of course he cannot take the people's private property for himself.

Besides, the throne has always been controversial because of its inappropriate origin, so I am usually strict in discipline and diligent in my work and love the people, just to prove to the people of the world that no one is more suitable to be the emperor than him.

He was so depressed that Li Shimin could only glar at Yang Fan for a long time, but he couldn't let this stick come back.

While Yang Fan and Li Shimin were having fun, an action against him was brewing.

*******

Wei Prince's Mansion.

Li Tai had a gloomy face and couldn't let go for a long time. He couldn't help but wonder, would love really disappear?

As a smart person, he did not recklessly come to the palace to plead with mercy. On the one hand, the punishment is not heavy. On the other hand, he is waiting for news, so he has to carefully consider what went wrong.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded, and after he agreed, an aide pushed the door and walked in.

"Prince, according to the news from the palace, when the emperor uploaded the news, the King of Wu, Fang Xiang and General Cheng were all in the palace. His Highness of Wu was sending a memorial to His Majesty for disaster relief. As for why the two dukes were summoned by His Majesty, they still don't know."

After hearing this, Li Tai frowned and walked around the room, clenching his fists and letting go, and seemed a little irritable. The people involved passed by his mind one by one.

"Although Li Ke has some ability, he does not fight or rob at ordinary times, so it is impossible for his father to issue an order to punish him."

"The two dukes are even more impossible. After all, the old troll Wei Zheng has no choice, let alone Fang Xuanling, known as a gentleman."

...

After all the impossibility is eliminated, the truth is the only thing left, only Wannian County Magistrate, but how can he have the ability to control his father's decision?

Just because I gave me a few bottles of glass beasts?

When talking about the Glass Divine Beast, Li Tai felt a pain. Now the Glass Xuanwu Divine Beast is like a waste of money in his hands.

He was cheated of more than one million yuan at the auction. Although he didn't pay the money, it also caused the aristocratic family that supported him to bleed.

This time, because Yang Fan was confined, Li Tai, who had never suffered such humiliation, was so angry that he was itchy.

"Aren't the Guanlong family searching for someone who offers advice to their father?"

Thinking of this, Li Tai's eyes lit up and waved to the staff standing aside and said, "The person who revealed the news to the Guanlong family, just talked about the merit monument to his father's emperor's advice was Yang Fan, the boss of Wannian County. He said so... In addition, the incident of beating Fusang envoys is a bit louder."

As a strong competitor to the Tang Dynasty's throne, Li Tai was naturally not a good person. A trick of killing people with a knife was instantly formed in his mind.

I took a picture of the Xuanwu Glazed Beast before and turned into a joke because the time was urgent and the judgment was wrong. Now I have the chance, of course I want to get back the scene.

If this plan could be done, although it would not hurt Yang Fan, it would be fine if he was disgusted. It would not be better if anyone was targeted by the Guanlong family and the censor.

Not only did Li Shimin be complacent when the Tang Dynasty came to the court, but also the ministers in the court. Yang Fan's actions completely offended the Fusang envoys.

Moreover, his approach would not guarantee that the envoys of other vassal states would not have any associations. The envoys of various countries would definitely complain, which would be enough for him to drink a pot of money.

Having said that, after all, he has a special identity and helping foreigners deal with the Celestial people, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Shimin will not be angry. Of course, Li Tai will not take action personally and does not want to intervene directly.
