Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengye in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes. Li Yuanji approved of everything Li Chengye did.

It was worth his effort to hire many famous teachers to teach him. Li Chengye was outstanding in all aspects. In Li Yuanji's opinion, even Li Er might not be as good as him in this regard.

After a moment, Li Yuanji spoke slowly.

"You're right. You've thought very carefully about all these. In fact, their presence outside is also a spur for you. Don't let yourself be outdone by your brothers in the end.

I am very pleased that you can think of these things. As you know, the things that happened in my life are all bad negative examples. You should also learn to draw lessons from them.

I can tell you clearly that as long as the Tang Dynasty develops normally, they will not be able to surpass the Tang Dynasty. The science and technology of the Tang Dynasty will only become more and more advanced in all aspects.

Another point is that although it is their own fiefdom, you must always pay attention to whether they have governed it well. The prerequisite for expanding the fiefdom is that they have developed and governed the original fiefdom very well and the people recognize the Tang Dynasty.

Remember, we should recognize the Tang Dynasty, not just the kings of their fiefdoms. We should make them feel a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. This kind of expansion is the correct expansion."

Li Yuanji directly affirmed what Li Chengye said and thought. He believed that Li Chengye could do what he said.

The following is the reminder he remembered. What he was most worried about was that some people would be too ambitious and, after arriving at their fiefdom, would not properly govern and develop it, but would directly start to expand the territory. In such a territory, it would be impossible to establish a sense of belonging after it was conquered, and one day, it would be separated again.

Li Yuanji watched Li Chengye write down everything he said. Li Yuanji's eyes became more satisfied, and then he spoke again.

"When you become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, tell me what you think of those technologies?
You have already talked about the people's affairs before, so there is no need to talk about it again. I also know your thoughts on other aspects, but I want to hear your thoughts on science and technology again."

In fact, he knew Li Chengye's attitude towards these aspects and had tested them. He agreed with Li Chengye's views on these aspects and future trends, which was also a point that made him extremely relieved.

That is to say, after Li Chengye became emperor, he was extremely relieved. Even in the area of ​​technology, he knew about it, but Li Yuanji still couldn't help asking again.

With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, things will inevitably develop better. Moreover, if the Tang Dynasty wants to remain strong, technological progress is necessary. There must be progress at all times. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty remain stable.

As technology becomes more powerful, the army's weapons and equipment will inevitably become more advanced. This is a virtuous and progressive cycle that can drive industrial development and all aspects will be involved.

If technology wants to progress, the most important thing is people, that is, the corresponding talents, which is the absolute core.

Li Chengye listened to Li Yuanji's words, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Father, I believe that the Tang Dynasty must always maintain its leading position in science and technology. I have carefully observed the development process from Lingnan to the present. The most important thing is your emphasis on science and technology. The emergence of various new technologies has led to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today.

At the beginning, there were the Iron Bureau, Firearms Bureau, Navigation Bureau, etc. The advanced technologies in weapons, smelting, and ships were gradually extended to other areas. For example, the factories built later were almost all born out of the advanced technologies of the Iron Bureau and others.

Later, the Research Institute was established. With the advanced technology provided by my father and the efforts of the Research Institute and the Firearms Bureau, the development was even faster.

It can be said that the current prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from the various advanced technologies given by the emperor. This also proves that in the development process of the Tang Dynasty, science and technology are the primary productive forces. We must attach absolute importance to it and maintain the development and breakthroughs of science and technology. Only then will more feats that benefit the country and the people emerge.

Whether it is weapons and equipment or various external objects owned by the people, they all require the advancement of science and technology to achieve.

With advanced weapons and equipment, the Tang Dynasty can face any enemy at any time. Only when the army is strong enough can the Tang Dynasty maintain stability, and stability can rapidly develop science and technology.

And its use by the people not only enriched the lives of the people, but also made the Tang Dynasty more prosperous. It was not only the Tang Dynasty that became prosperous, but also the people of the Tang Dynasty.

However, there is an extremely important link among them, that is the cultivation of talents. This is my biggest feeling after reading it.

No matter how science and technology develop, no matter how innovation is carried out, the most indispensable thing is talent. Only talent can make science and technology develop faster and better.

I believe that colleges and colleges of engineering, science and technology are extremely important. Nowadays, not only the imperial court needs talents, but the people also need them if they want to develop businesses.

I feel that we need to add more academies in the future and further strengthen them so as to provide more and better talents for the Tang Dynasty.

As the number of engineering colleges increases, the number of students will inevitably increase, and more and better talents will emerge among them. Even if there is a huge surplus of talent, they can enter factories founded by the private sector and still receive excellent treatment.

This can ensure that those who enter the college can live a very good life after graduation as long as they study hard and master their strengths, which will attract more people to join.

The more people enter the technology industry, the faster technology will develop.

Father, these are my humble opinions. I believe that science and technology are of utmost importance. If science and technology want to develop, the cultivation and retention of talents will be the absolute core. "

Li Yuanji felt extremely relieved when listening to what Li Chengye said. What Li Chengye said this time was much more detailed than before. Li Yuanji could finally feel relieved.

As long as you know this and do it, there won’t be any big problems.

In fact, there will be small problems in the subsequent development of the Tang Dynasty, even now, but when small problems occur, they can be adjusted in time. What we fear most are big problems. Once big problems occur, adjustments will be extremely difficult.

Moreover, in today's Tang Dynasty, the only major problem that could arise is that the emperor has some problems with his brain.

Li Yuanji did not think about constitutional monarchy. He was not that selfless. In today's era, the emperor is still the first choice.

As for what will happen in the future, he can no longer control it. As long as the Tang people, that is, the Han people, are in charge, he will not be able to care about anything else after hundreds of years. If he worries about everything, will he still be able to live?
Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengye with satisfaction and said softly, "Very good, you said it very well. I won't say anything else. I have basically left everything to you on weekdays.

You have to remember what I said now, the development of science and technology is the most important, and the corresponding talents are the absolute core. You are absolutely right in saying this.

If you follow this in the future, I will feel relieved."

This is Li Yuanji's sincere words. According to the current technology of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tang Dynasty continues to focus on technology, it is basically impossible for others to surpass the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Yuanji didn’t know whether this would be the case in the end, but this was all he could do for now.

After chatting with Li Chengye for a long time, Li Yuanji let Li Chengye go.

After Li Chengye left, Li Yuanji thought for a long time alone, and finally called Li Chengping over.

"Greetings, Father." "Chengping is here, please sit down."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengping with satisfaction. He had good abilities in all aspects, but there was nothing he could do.

"Chengping, I called you here so that you can get ready. In a short while, the preparations for the expedition will be completed, and you will follow them then.

I will remind you one last time. When you go to your fiefdom, give priority to developing and governing it. Let the people in your fiefdom have a certain sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang people become the main population, you can then expand the territory.

You must develop and govern the conquered fiefdoms, and you must not be perfunctory about it. Don't forget that you are the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, and you must put the Tang Dynasty first. "

Li Yuanji talked a lot with Li Chengping. Not only did he repeat these things, but he also told Li Chengping what Cen Wenben had said.

Li Chengping just listened quietly until Li Yuanji finished speaking, then he slowly spoke.

“Father, I know that when I go to the fiefdom, I will do as you said. I will first govern and develop the fiefdom. After the fiefdom is developed, I will send troops to attack the outside world. The fiefdom I conquer will definitely be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never separate from it in the future.

I know that I am the son of my father. No matter what time, I should always put the Tang Dynasty first. I am the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Chengping kept Li Yuanji's instructions in mind. He knew very well that it was already very good for him to be able to go to his fiefdom. If they stayed in the court, it would be more dangerous.

They were not worried when Li Chengye was in power, but who could know what would happen in the future? The most important thing was that they really wanted to contribute to the Tang Dynasty and wanted to go out and expand the territory.

As Li Yuanji's sons, none of them wanted to just eat and wait for death. They all wanted to go out and show their abilities. If they were in the Tang Dynasty, showing their abilities would be the worst thing for them.

It was different when they went to the fiefdom. In fact, no matter how they expanded their fiefdom outside, it could not compare to the current Tang Dynasty. The development of the fiefdom alone required a lot of time and it could not be conquered by just conquering it.

Li Yuanji felt extremely relieved when listening to Li Chengping's words. He knew his son very well and he believed what Li Chengping said.

He only hoped that Li Chengping could do a good job after he got out. He was also looking forward to the performance of Li Chengping and others outside.

After chatting with Li Chengping for a long time, after Li Chengping left, Li Yuanji immediately called Cen Benwen.

"See Your Majesty."

"No need, Jingren, please sit down."

Li Yuanji looked at Cen Wenben, then put down the seal in his hand and spoke again in a low voice.

"Liu Rengui has already made preparations to send troops, and I have already approved the Ministry of War's memorial. You must make preparations here and prepare the people to be relocated as soon as possible.

I know something about the King of Chu's fiefdom this time. Move 200,000 people there, and the King of Chu will handle the rest himself.

In addition, select a few officials to follow the King of Chu, help develop the King of Chu's fiefdom and obey the King of Chu's orders.

By the way, for these 200,000 people, remember to select tens of thousands of herdsmen to go with you, as that place is also quite suitable for grazing.”

In order to expand outward, the Tang people must be the main force after the expansion, so it is necessary to migrate people from the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the goal cannot be achieved.

As for Australia, after Li Chengping arrives there, there will be enough development work to keep him busy for a long time, whether it is pastures, farmland, the construction of the royal city, or the laying of infrastructure; in short, there is enough for Li Chengping to do.

Although Li Chengping did not have the support of the system, fortunately, the technology of the Tang Dynasty was still acceptable. After Li Chengping went there, it was much easier than it was before, but it still took a lot of time to do those things.

Cen Wenben was stunned after hearing this. There was nothing wrong with relocating the population. Now that the Tang Dynasty wanted to expand outward, he was already preparing for the migration of the population.

But what puzzled Cen Wenben this time was that the King of Chu's fiefdom actually needed herders and was suitable for grazing? Didn't he remember that place was an island? Could grazing be done on an island?
Cen Wenben was really confused, but he didn't ask too much. He had made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would really go and see how people grazed on an island, which was not a grassland.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’m already preparing. However, if you need herders, I need to coordinate and prepare again, which will take some time.

But Your Majesty, is it really possible to graze on the island like on the grassland?"

"Haha, Jingren, you may not know this, but that place is indeed suitable. There are many natural pastures, and there may be more pastures than arable land.

And there are a lot of natural babies who can punch people."

Li Yuanji was really laughing. He didn't know what the situation was like over there, but the development trend was basically like that.

As for the natural treasure that can punch people, Li Yuanji was talking about the kangaroos. Li Yuanji only knew that there were really a lot of kangaroos over there.

However, it would have been better if Cen Wenben had not listened. He was even more confused after listening. A natural big treasure that could punch people?

After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, he could only smile bitterly. He finally realized what he was asking. Now, the original doubt was not solved, and a new one arose.

"Your Majesty, what you said is really very clear."

Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to what Cen Wenben said. He just thought it was a compliment to him. What else could he do?

Then Li Yuanji spoke again.

"Have the people prepared for Li Er started to migrate?"

Cen Wenben became serious as he listened to Li Yuanji talking about serious matters.

"The migration has already begun. Li Er has expanded the territory there on the original basis. Now he is waiting for people to migrate over so that he can start governing.

It is estimated that it will take about three months to relocate these 200,000 people.

The people over there have already made preparations for resettlement, and all the corresponding supplies have been prepared." (End of this chapter)
