Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 653 Ambition
As long as the situation in Europe is mentioned, Li Chong will not be sleepy anymore.

And let's be honest...

Compared with Datang's internal worries, he was more worried about Datang's external troubles.

To know……

The weapons and equipment of various countries in an era are roughly the same.

If the European countries have learned their firearms technology, and if they are still young, and finally rely on their racial talent to form a counterattack, then of course Li Chong is not willing to see it.

at the same time!

If the Europeans are really abolished, then the enemies of the Tang Dynasty will become the feudal states of the Tang Dynasty again.

Facing these "vassal states" that are becoming more prosperous and powerful, and more aggressive and aggressive than Tang Dynasty, how should I deal with them?
It can be said……

At this moment, he is ushering in a major change in history that has never happened in a thousand years, no, even in ten thousand years.

The Liao Kingdom sits on the American and Pacific routes, and the Cochin Kingdom controls the entire sea area from Vietnam to the Indian Ocean. Europe is undergoing various changes at this time, but only Datang, at this time...

But in the midst of singing and dancing.

It seems that many people have no idea what is going on outside.

But yes!

Today, there is no Twitter, and there is no TV. Many people may spend their entire lives without knowing what is happening in Europe today.

As for the sea routes that the Liao Kingdom and the Cochin Kingdom are sitting on.

You know, going to sea carries certain risks.

If others can bring business directly to their doorstep, then who else would be willing to take risks?

of course!

There will also be quite a few people who, seeing the wealth overseas, want to go overseas to get a share of the pie.

however……

Did the Liao Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom agree to your going to sea?
This is the predicament of Datang today.

Getting out and being unable to get out, the country is still immersed in a state of blind arrogance and extravagance.

perhaps……

100 years ago, the Liao Kingdom, the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and the feudal states in Europe could not compare with the Tang Dynasty.

But if we let it go like this, if we let it go, after another 100 years, maybe, this situation will not be the same.

This is also a flaw when the vassal system was formulated.

The strength of the vassal king was not well limited.

But then again, if there is restriction, there will be no vitality.

and……

The mountains are long and the road is far away. If others really want to rebel, isn't it as easy as eating lettuce.

Today's Datang, you don't think it seems to be very strong, but...

In Li Chong's view.

It's just the last afterglow of the empire.

of course!

You can't say that the Liao Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom are as good as they are aggressive.

after all……

Sometimes, the supremacy of a fatuous emperor is enough to destroy their ambitions as well.

but!

In terms of obtaining overseas conditions, both the Liao Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom are far better than Datang.

They are born to pay attention to the situation overseas.

Even if...

What they care about is only one-third of an acre of land in their own home.

Today's Li Chong really needs someone to tell him about the situation in the world.

undoubtedly……

This Zhou Ze belongs to this kind of talent.

Of course!
Since Zhou Ze is so important to Li Chong.

Then he was equally important to his imperial grandfather.

Even if his imperial grandfather might not entrust Zhou Ze with important responsibilities, at least...

This time I came back from Europe and worked as an editor at the Hongwen Museum, so there should be no major problems.

Then...

Li Chong also mentioned this matter to the other party, and said, "What are your plans in the future?"

Obviously, Zhou Ze didn't think too much about it, because for him, it was because of his longing for his homeland and relatives that he chose to come back.

If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was willing, he would of course tell the other party about his experiences along the way.

As for saying...

When the time comes, will the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty send him out again...

to be frank!
He also has such worries.

The 20-year journey from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions, as long as you are a normal person, you will not want to go a second time.

and……

In the past 20 years, how many coups have occurred along the way, and how many times have there been changes in dynasties. Sometimes, even he is unpredictable and unpredictable.

Maybe his cognition 19 years ago has already undergone some changes now.

Just like when Xuanzang traveled to the west, when he came back, he asked the people in the Anxi Governor's Mansion, where is Gaochang?

Gaochang State was destroyed by Datang long ago.

What if something happened to make him go out again...

That Zhou Ze thought, he would probably refuse.

It's not that there are other things to do, it's just that I simply don't want to go out anymore.

Zhou Ze said, "I haven't thought about any plans yet, I just want to come back and meet my family."

Li Zhong said: "I opened a library in Luoyang. It would be great if you could write books about your experiences along the way, and then sell them in the Luoyang library."

"If you want, then I can write you a letter and tell the current Majesty to arrange for you to do such a thing."

As long as his imperial grandfather is not stupid enough, he should pay attention to Zhou Zelai.

Just the news he brought back is enough to make people excited.

As soon as Zhou Ze heard that there was such a good thing, "Then I will thank Your Highness."

Li Chong then murmured: "I hope this will become an opportunity."

Zhou Ze didn't know what the opportunity he was talking about was.

just feel...

Li Chong seemed to be quite concerned about this.

The people and things along the way, it is estimated that there will be no ten days or eight days, several months and half a year, and I can't finish it.

therefore……

Li Chong stopped chatting with Zhou Ze.

Write a letter of introduction to the other party.

Then...

Li Chong then continued his patrol.

Before leaving, let the other party think about whether it is possible to publish a travel journal.

The writing style almost doesn't matter, the main thing is that it's good to be able to explain things clearly.

even……

You can directly copy the writing method of "Da Tang Western Regions".

Zhou Ze has never written much, and he has never thought about writing a book.

only……

Listening to Li Chong's words, it seems that there is something interesting about it.

As for what Luoyang library Li Chong was talking about, Zhou Ze naturally asked.

Li Chong also casually told him.

"It's just a place to sell books."

"Let's do this first, I have other things to do."

"Don't let it go."

Zhou Ze held the letter of introduction written by Li Chong in his arms, and saluted Li Chong.

The two separated.

Then...

Li Chong then went to inspect the villages in the south of Bianzhou.

can only say……

The situation of the people is not bad.

only……

It is also inevitable that some problems will be found. For example, some people are short-sighted and do not grow food in their fields, but only grow vegetables and other cash crops.

and……

There are even more and more serious ones. In this way, if everyone is chasing profit, who will guarantee the food in the future?

nature……

The princes in the court are not all fools. Don't the princes in the court know about this situation?
Even if they are far away in the capital, I don't know, wouldn't the ministers under him say it in the form of the above memorial?

However, the edicts issued by the imperial court have been repeated over and over again, if the common people still want to do this, what can the imperial court do.

even……

Li Chong also found out that his second and third uncles were here and bought a lot of land.

This is probably the disadvantage of vigorously developing business.

Everyone is rushing to make money, and people's greed is really infinite.

Nothing like him.

Even if he became the emperor, even if he wanted to enjoy it, he knew that he would never enjoy it too much.

People, you must know when enough is enough.

By asking some old farmers in the field, I also learned from their mouths the very simple thoughts in their hearts.

Nothing else, just being poor, just wanting to make money.

Li Chong also asked the other party: "Then what if we lose everything?"

Then the other party stopped talking.

Probably guessing, why does this person talk like that!
A little fat man who looks good, but speaks so viciously.

At this time, Li Chong also deeply realized the importance of the red line of 18 billion mu of arable land, why later generations should maintain how many acres.

Immediately after...

Li Chong sighed in front of his teacher and others: "This is all due to human nature."

"I very much agree with Xunzi's nature is evil."

"So the law is really important!"

After finishing speaking, before everyone could understand what he meant, he hummed a song himself, "The law is the end of rule."The people are the source of the country.The world is so big, Li Yuan is the first.When traveling on the avenue, one must observe clearly. '

Everyone: "..."

of course!

The good news is!

There will still be some sober people who understand that food is the most important thing. Even if they really want to grow cash crops, they must at least reserve one-third of an acre of land for themselves.

Don't let yourself go hungry.

For such rational people, Li Chong felt that this was very suitable for him.

even……

Such a person should be selected to be an official.

This time, Li Zhong fully understood the composition of landowners in several counties, their proportions, and the distribution of agricultural land.

to be frank.

It would be even better if there is a satellite image.

Now...

It can only be judged through an intuitive feeling.

You said the files stored in the county government warehouse?
to be frank!
Li Chong would rather believe his own eyes than that thing.

Because that thing can be faked completely.

of course!

Instead, it is possible to calculate the amount of coal used, and then deduce how much land there is in a place.

Through the year-to-year changes in coal consumption, it can be roughly divided how much land is used for growing grain and how much is used for growing vegetables.

The land used to grow vegetables certainly does not need to be plowed every year.

However, if it is used to grow food, it will definitely not work without plowing the land every year.

The amount of coal used is more difficult to fake.

"Teacher, what do you think, how should we deal with this chaos?"

sometimes……

Li Chong would also ask Liu Gongquan and others some questions, so that they would feel that he was not useless.

in fact……

It's really unfulfilling to be an assistant to the emperor's grandson.

because……

The emperor's grandson knows almost everything, there are many things, you don't need to tell him at all, he seems to understand.

then……

Liu Gongquan also gave Li Chong some simple measures.

of course!

Be reasonable!
In fact, Liu Gongquan is not the kind of person who is very good at governing the country.

Well-written articles and well-written characters do not mean that you can govern the country.

If he really had that talent, he would have already stepped into the ranks of prime ministers like his elder brother.

Wait for Liu Gongquan and the others to finish their actions.

Li Chong also said: "It's a pity! My Highness is only 11 years old now, and there is Aye on top. It will be a long time before my Highness manages the government in person."

After listening to Li Chong's words, everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

Also a little bit of a shock.

Because they didn't expect...

His Highness actually still has such great ambitions?

They thought...

His Highness can only play, spend money, and marry wives and concubines.

Then someone said: "Your Highness is young now, but he has accumulated a lot of knowledge. In the future, His Highness will definitely have the opportunity to show his ambition."

"Correct!"

"I also think that Han Zhibi is right."

This Han Zhibi is not an official name, but a joking name they made up casually between each other, colleagues in a department.

Li Chong also said: "Then do you know what my ambition is? You said that there must be a chance for His Highness to show his ambition."

Li Zhong said this...

Everyone was stunned for a while.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

I saw Li Chong continued: "Today, you all talk about what the ambition of His Highness is. If you are right, I will reward you with [-] yuan."

Liu Gongquan also coughed and said, "Your Highness, you don't have a hundred thousand dollars."

It is a tactful reminder that your Highness is still spending the crown prince's money, so it seems not very good to do so.

Li Chong also said: "If not, you can ask His Majesty for it, but I don't think you can guess it."

"Han Yi! Tell me."

Han Yi is exactly the Han who was mentioned by the previous people as the writer.

Han Yi tried to ask, "Is it to make money?"

The people around immediately became dissatisfied, and said one after another: "This must be wrong!"

Then someone volunteered and said: "Your Highness's ambition, I think, is that the people of the Tang Dynasty will live well and the world will be stable."

Li Chong was also thinking about something wrong and said: "Ah... Although what you said is a bit general, but... I don't seem to be able to say that you are wrong. Alright! One hundred thousand dollars, prepare to receive the reward."

Everyone: "Ah..."

"Just so casual!"

Everyone chattered again.

I saw that Li Chong also said from the chaos: "It's a pity... It is not an easy task to achieve such a goal."

"You must have like-minded people, you must have the perseverance to restrain your desires, you must have the ability to break through numerous difficulties and obstacles, and you must have the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and dangers."

After finishing speaking, Li Chong continued to hum the song in a low voice:

The great waves in the annals of history washed the rivers and lakes and temples

Five thousand years of Chinese calendar wind and frost
……
