Look, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Pearl River are like the blood vessels of the earth, nourishing all living things on this land."

The little princess's fingertips gently slid across the green areas on the map, "These green places are dense forests and vast grasslands.

They are nature's treasure trove, providing us with abundant timber and livestock resources.

Moreover, forests and grasslands are important barriers to maintaining ecological balance, protecting our homes from sandstorms and floods."

Then, the little princess pointed to the city marks on the map and said, "Yeah, these dots represent the cities and villages of the Tang Dynasty.

Look, Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinzhou, Sichuan and Chongqing, they are like shining pearls inlaid in this vast land.

Each city has its own unique history and culture, and bears witness to the prosperity and flourishing of the Tang Dynasty."

The little princess's explanation was like she knew everything about the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty. She explained every detail in detail.

Li Shimin listened with great interest and couldn't help but admire the little princess's talent and insight.

"Besides," the little princess changed the subject.

The little hand pointed to some territories on the map that were not under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty but were included in the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty on the map.

"Yeah, look, this is Goguryeo.

Once Yeye conquers that place, he can divide it into three counties as shown on the map and incorporate it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Her finger stopped at a plateau marker and said, "This is Tubo, with high and steep terrain, cold climate, and tough people.

Once Yeye sends his army to conquer this place, he can establish several important military fortresses based on the terrain, and promote agricultural techniques at the same time..."

The little princess continued to move her finger on the map, "This is Nanzhao. Although it is remote, the land is fertile and the products are abundant.

We can establish counties and strengthen governance, and at the same time open trade routes to promote economic exchanges with the Central Plains..."

Then, the little princess moved her finger to the south of the map, "This is the South Sea Islands, and it's also where rubber is produced.

Although it is far away from the Central Plains, maritime trade is prosperous and the island is rich in resources.

We can establish maritime agencies to strengthen the management of maritime trade.

At the same time, fishermen and merchants were encouraged to go there to develop and turn these islands into the Tang Dynasty’s maritime granary and trade hub.”

Then, she pointed to the north of the map and said, "Yeah, look here, this is the vast northern border area.

Although the weather here is cold and the winter is year-round, the natural resources are extremely rich. Yeye should send his men from the Tang Dynasty to set up boundary markers as soon as possible..."

The little princess continued explaining, and her finger moved to the east of the map, "This is Yinzhou.

Although they are separated from us by a vast ocean, their culture has deep roots with ours, and is even passed down from the same lineage as our Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the descendants of the Shang Dynasty lived here thousands of years ago. We can send envoys and armies to bring them back to the embrace of the Tang Empire..."

Then she talked about the European continent in the west, "Yeah, you know what?

In the far west, there is a place that is extremely chaotic and backward, but occupies a large amount of fertile land.

The people there are uncivilized and only know how to fight all day long. They have no idea how to make use of the fertile land under their feet. What a waste of natural resources!

At this point, the little princess showed obvious disgust on her face, "Yeah, you say, aren't they too stupid?

If such good land could be used for farming, how much grain would be produced!

But all they do is fight back and forth, which is really heartbreaking."

As Li Shimin listened to the little princess's story, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

He knew that although the little princess was young, her knowledge and wisdom far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Her words made him start thinking about the faraway land he had just heard of.

"Sizi, what do you mean..." Li Shimin looked at the little princess and asked.

"Yeah, we should send a large army to conquer that land." There was a determination glint in the little princess' eyes.

"Bring those ignorant people into civilization, let them learn to farm and build.

In this way, that fertile land can be fully utilized and can also bring more food and resources to our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin was also moved by the little princess's advice.

But sending a large army on an expedition thousands of miles away is not an easy task after all, so he had to be cautious.

I had to change the subject and ask him about something he was concerned about.

"Sizi, are the markings on the map you gave Yeye all true and accurate?"

Hearing this, the little princess smiled confidently, "Yeah, this map was carefully drawn by Xiao Rangjun and I.

We have verified every detail above to ensure it is accurate."

"Little Rang-kun is a mythical creature! He's seen many of these places with his own eyes. How could it be fake?"

"Great, great!" Li Shimin nodded excitedly after hearing this. "Ye Ye is very satisfied with the gift that Si Zi and Xiao Rang Jun gave him."

"However," Li Shimin then turned to the little princess and began to teach her, "Little Sizi, this gift can only be called a gift, not a congratulatory gift."

"The so-called gift," Li Shimin paused and then explained.

“It usually refers to a gift given to celebrate a specific festive occasion or event.

For example, birthdays, weddings, or important national celebrations."

He smiled at the little princess and said, "Sizi, the reason you gave Yeye this map of the unified Tang Dynasty today is obviously not to celebrate a specific event.

You want to show Yeye the thoughtfulness and wisdom of you and Xiaorangjun, right?"

After hearing this, the little princess shook her head firmly, "No, the map Sizi gave Yeye today is to be placed in Zhaoling Mausoleum. Isn't it also a gift?"

"What did you say? Where should I put it?" The smile on Li Shimin's face stopped abruptly, and even his tone was full of disbelief.

Giving something to be buried with me as a burial object, yet calling it a gift, doesn't that mean he's hoping I'll die sooner?

If someone else had said this, Li Shimin would have ordered the Qianniu Guards to take him out and execute him.

But the person in front of him was indeed his most beloved little Sizi, so she could only let her do as she pleased.

However, why did Xiao Sizi insist on giving him such a precious map to be buried with him?

Although Li Shimin was also happy, he was very curious why Xiao Sizi did this?

He asked curiously, "Sizi, why do you insist on putting this map in Zhaoling?

You know, Zhaoling is Yeye's mausoleum, and it's usually used to place burial objects."

Hearing this, the little princess nodded seriously, "Yajima!

Put this map in Zhaoling Mausoleum, and when future generations dig it out a thousand years later, they will be able to witness the glory of our Tang Dynasty!"

"What? Dig, dig, dig... dig it out???" Li Shimin was shocked again!
