"Zhinu, the place you mentioned, my father sent someone to investigate. There are indeed many sea areas in Lingnan, including some desert islands, which are very barren, and there are no treasures worthy of being moved."

Li Er explained in disappointment, thinking that Xiao Zhengta had another good idea.

Those deserted islands are rarely visited, and some indigenous people live there on some islands.

However, their lives were extremely poor and backward, and even communication with them were extremely difficult, so later he dismissed the content of continuing to investigate.

"Father, do you think that the place that can produce spices and rich minerals will be a barren desert island?"

Xiao Zhengtai looked at Li Er with a strange look. Any ore vein that could be mined will be a treasure of prices and could obtain countless wealth.

However, no one in the Tang Dynasty discovered the secrets there and let them stay there. What a pity.

"How is this possible? How can these things be found on those desert islands?"

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Li Er almost bit his tongue. He knew better than anyone else about the value of those things.

"Father, where do you think the source of luxury goods stores of my sons come from? The reason why they are expensive is because of the extremely difficult transportation.

With the ability of Erchen alone, he could not mine one million of wealth in Lingnan!"

In order to make them believe their words, Xiao Zhengta once again chose to prove everything with facts, and a single spice is enough to prove everything.

Li Ji's eyes were almost flying out. There was such a huge treasure in the place they were out of reach. Why did it sound like a fantasy?

"Food has always been the foundation for whether a country is powerful. Although the Tang Dynasty now has vast land, it is definitely not a matter of overnight development.

But the land on these islands is different, and the fertility is far greater than that of the land. Due to climate, it can even be harvested three times a year, and the yield is three times that of the surrounding area. Does the father think there is still a barren land?"

Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help laughing when he said this. He didn't believe that Li Er was not good. Food is the most important thing for the people. Who would be willing to support the ruler without food?

"What? Chi Nu, what you said is true?"

Li Er suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Zhengta in disbelief. Looking back on the fact that he has encountered many natural disasters since he ascended the throne, which has caused the people to suffer, which makes him feel very distressed and has no good solution.

Harvest three times a year will definitely make the Tang Dynasty's grain warehouse completely full, and you no longer have to worry about insufficient food.

If this matter is true, let alone Lingnan, he will send troops to the ends of the world.

"Have you ever lie?"

Xiao Zhengta shrugged, looking like he believed it or not.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, God has given you great blessings. The Tang Dynasty has such a treasure land, so the country is prosperous and the people are safe!"

Li Ji also understood what this matter meant, and immediately congratulated Li Er with an excited expression.

Such development is even more exciting than his leadership of troops to win battles.

"Even if what you said is true, how can we develop Lingnan? That place has been a barren land in people's impression throughout history, and no one will take the initiative to go there."

Li Er waved his hand gently, and did not lose his calm mind because of excitement, but instead became even more worried.

Such a treasure land must not be given up in the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more impossible to be cheaper for others. It is just that how to proceed is a headache for Li Er.

"Currently, Guanzhong has been the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty, and the land distribution system has been adopted in Guanzhong.

With the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty, the population will increase, and the equal-field order in Guanzhong will not be implemented at all.

We can only force immigrate elsewhere. Since we have chosen to immigrate, what does it matter where we go? Only those who have gone will truly understand it.”

The problem that Li Er was worried about did not exist at all. If it weren't for the fear of arousing dissatisfaction among the people, such good things would naturally be solved.

"Yes, Lingnan is also the territory of our Tang Dynasty. It is really a waste to be empty. Since there is such a good development opportunity, you must not miss it!"

Li Er's eyes were shining brightly. He didn't even see such a simple truth clearly. Xiao Zhengtai was definitely the one who took the backbone of the Tang Dynasty. There would be no mistake in this.

Xiao Zhengtai's words can be said to determine the future development of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will never worry about food issues in the future.

With rapid development of all walks of life, the population will gradually increase, and the Tang Dynasty is destined to become the overlord of this world.

Li Ji glanced at Xiao Zhengtai with a deep meaning, and his heart was already in a state of uproar.

If we understand the waters, Wu Changxu must be the whole Tang Dynasty, but Wu Changxu could not know these things, otherwise he would never be silent until now.

How many unknown secrets do this prince have in his heart? Compared with Xiao Zhengtai, the former crown prince Li Chengqian or the King of Wei Li Tai, there is nothing to be compared with the world.

"Zhi Nu, tell your father honestly that you specially asked the two boys to go to Dongting Lake to train troops. Is it just to prepare for this matter?"

Suddenly, Li Er changed his mind and thought of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu. They could be said to be the right-hand men of Xiao Zhengtai, and they would not be sent out for training for no reason.

"Yes, Lingnan can be said to be full of treasures. If there is no one who manages it there, my ministers are really worried. As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one can guarantee that they will do something in secret.

As early as when Erchen first developed the waterway, Erchen had already started planning the Lingnan matters. It was just that the time was not yet ripe, so Erchen did not propose it."

Xiao Zhengtai nodded slightly and did not hide it. Of course, this was just one-sided statement from him. What he knew was nothing they could imagine.

Li Er took a deep breath. The little guy's eyes were so far away. Fortunately, he did not stare at this position like other princes. Otherwise, he would have been sitting in this position long ago.

Thinking of this, Li Er's heart was very complicated, with surprises, loneliness, and even a hint of fear, but more of it was still relieved.

Xiao Zhengtai is capable and he is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty. From beginning to end, his starting point has been around the entire Tang Dynasty. What he does at a young age is far more than his efforts for several years.

"Although Duke Geng never showed his ambitions, everything he had was from our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, my son believes that no one can touch on the territory of our Tang Dynasty, and it does not belong to the private sector."
