Li Yi actually knew that it was absolutely undesirable to push this matter to Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, and they didn't know what purpose they wanted to achieve.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty were like borers of the Tang Dynasty. Although the dangers caused to the entire Tang Dynasty in the short term are absolutely negligible, they will never form any good atmosphere in Chang'an City in the long run.

In addition, the Japanese envoy sent the Tang Dynasty to fish in troubled waters and didn't know how many Tang things he had secretly learned, so Li Neng would never allow such a situation to happen again.

However, it is indeed not a good idea to send a position to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Many of them couldn't even understand what they said, and it was quite difficult to arrange wherever such people went.

Li Neng knew that they had to get their reply to the letter of nationality before they could send the Tang envoy to the Tang Dynasty again. When they really arrived, it would be a few months later, so there was no hurry to do this.

Under such circumstances, Li Qing first thought of the warship.

Many things in this era are different from those in later generations. Judging from the child, it really has nothing to do with him. Even Zhang Mingyue doesn’t have to feed her children personally. There is a royal wet nurse in the palace, which makes Li Qing deeply sigh, “It’s better to have power.”

Just as he was about to start to go to the beach to check it out, Hong Yuan's memorial was first sent to Tai Chi Palace.

Hong Yuan was just a county magistrate, so he could not directly submit a memorial to Li Yong.

However, Li Neng still treats Hong Yuan, who has a part-time job as a navy army, but for such a long time, even if Hong Yuan has any problems, he will contact the Ministry of War directly and submit a memorial to Li Neng for the first time.

In the memorial, Hong Yuan did not talk about the progress of the navy and warships, but instead discovered a strange phenomenon when he transformed and rectified the navy.

Although the navy guarded by the two warships, Dongmu, had no power to maintain it before and was docked on the shore year after year, Zhang Chong still knew the tricks here. He usually used black cloth to cover the two warships. Only after Hong Yuan took Li Qing's orders, the two warships had seen the light of day again.

However, it was also after Hong Yuan took the lead in getting on the warship for the first time that he discovered something wrong.

It should have been put on hold for a long time and no one has been on the warship for a year and a half, there were actually scattered footprints everywhere, and the footprints were obviously within a month.

Hong Yuan asked Zhang Chong at that time because the people and family members in the army had a clear understanding, and it was soon found out that it was not the people in the Dongmu arrested the defenders who boarded the ship. They did provide some maintenance to the warships every six months or so, but what is certain is that these footprints are definitely not theirs.

Hong Yuan's keen insight made him realize the unusualness of this matter, so he launched an investigation into the matter at that time. As a result, the results of this investigation made Hong Yuan feel a little wrong.

In this era, only the Tang Dynasty had precise objects. Hong Yuan still had this awareness. Through his observation, he found that these suspicious footprints often appeared in the most precise places of this warship, which made Hong Yuan feel even more suspicious.

He originally thought that a certain Jiedushi in the south was preparing to create a warship to rebel, but after analysis, it felt that it was not the case, until Zhang Chong had a preliminary result in the investigation of these people under his command.

According to Zhang Chong's investigation, those who had the time and conditions to board the warship should be small vendors in a nearby village that provided food to their barracks.

But what surprised Hong Yuan even more was that this small vendor was actually a Japanese man. He had just been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. He often took away some waste in the camp after delivering goods to the barracks. In addition, he was already very familiar with many people in the camp, so it was common to stay in the camp and even stay overnight in the camp when it was weathered.

Hong Yuan secretly investigated this person and found that he moved to the vicinity when Zhang Chong's military camp began to go downhill. As for other matters, he could not find out.

If others think this is not a big deal, he is a Japanese man, even if he boards the Tang Dynasty warship and goes to see it, let him see it. However, Hong Yuan knew how much Li Yan attached to warships as early as when he arrived here.

According to Li Neng, there were warships in the Tang Dynasty, but other small countries on the sea did not, so the Tang Dynasty could guarantee the absolute advantage of the navy.

Once the surrounding small countries secretly make warships, and the number exceeds that of the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

It was Li's advice to Hong Yuan in this regard that made Hong Yuan really treat this matter as a major matter, and informed Li Yuan in detail when he could not continue to investigate. After all, Hong Yuan is a fledgling scholar, and he has no expert in investigating the case. If he goes deeper, he is indeed powerless.

Li Qing read this incident several times and immediately had some thoughts in his mind.

Although Hongyuan did not find anything specific, even the immigrants from Japan were only considered a suspect, because in the open country of Datang, whether it was Japan, Silla, or the Hu people in the north, there were many people who settled in the Tang Dynasty. The laws of the Tang Dynasty did not have any clear regulations on this aspect. Anyway, as long as you can pay taxes obediently, you can stay here.

This Japanese man is really suspicious. Li Neng believes that there must be many secrets in this person's heart. If we put it in the words of later generations, he is obviously a spy. Getting close to Zhang Chong's ragged military camp is nothing more than just wanting to get first-hand information about the two warships docked in the military camp.

"If I say that, this guy is an offensive vendor, but in fact he is probably a good craftsman trained by Japan, otherwise he would not understand the structure of the warship..."

While looking at the pitiful information of this person, Li Neng began to portray this person in his head. Thinking deeply, Li Neng felt that there might not be only one such person in the Tang Dynasty in Japan, otherwise how could he send these information back?
