Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 304 Future Development Plan
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian anxiously, for fear that the emperor's nephew would create a rift with him.

"My cousin-in-law is really warm-hearted. What does uncle think about this? Do you agree? Or do you disagree?" Li Chengqian asked.

He would certainly not allow Tubo to introduce troops to interfere with the internal problems of the Tang Dynasty, he did not want to invite wolves into the house.

If Changsun Wuji dares to agree, then don't blame him for not showing affection.

"Naturally, the veteran will never agree to this matter. Even if there are disloyal people in my Tang Dynasty, I will have loyal people to eradicate disloyalty for Your Majesty."

"Why do you need to use the hands of barbarians and foreign countries? This is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger, and it will only burn you. Therefore, I will definitely not agree." Changsun Wuji said.

Even if there were riots in the Tang Dynasty, it was an internal problem of the Tang Dynasty itself, and the Tang Dynasty had its own army to counter the rebellion.

There is no need for Tubo to be so enthusiastic. To lure the Tubo army to suppress the rebellion is undoubtedly to lure wolves into the house. At that time, who knows whether they are really here to help put down the rebellion or have other purposes.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Don't look at the superficial nephew relationship between Tubo and Datang, Songtsan Gampo and Li Chengqian are cousin brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Once you turn your face, whoever knows who else is your sworn enemy, whoever is related to you.

On this issue, Changsun Wuji can still distinguish clearly.

This letter to Changsun Wuji is just a throwing stone to ask the way, to test Datang's attitude.

At the same time, it also provokes the relationship between Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji, once Li Chengqian is mistaken for Changsun Wuji and Tubo have secret contacts, if the intention is wrong.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty will become enemies. For Tubo, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

"What uncle said is very true! I also mean the same thing, it's just how uncle will reply Songtsen Gampo." Li Chengqian said.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "Of course, the veteran will write back to Songtsen Gampo, rejecting his proposal and request."

"Rejection must be refused, but it must not lose the dignity of Tang Dynasty, and must not destroy the relationship between Tang Dynasty and Tubo." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian had just ascended the throne not long ago, and he hadn't fully secured the throne yet. Now was not the time to turn his back on Tubo.

But it can't lose the dignity that a big country should have. Simply put, Li Chengqian doesn't want to lose his face, but also doesn't want to lose face.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! The old minister will never do anything that will damage the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and he will certainly not strain the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wuji said confidently.

As a political master, Changsun Wuji knew how to tactfully reject Songtsan Gampo so that he would not lose face while taking care of the face of both parties.

"With my uncle's words, I can rest assured! Uncle is no doubt a minister left to me by the late emperor. With a capable minister like uncle assisting me, I can sit back and relax!" Li Chengqian said.

"The old minister is willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death! With this body, I will do my last strength for the Great Tang." Changsun Wuji said.

After talking about this matter, after Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji chatted for a while, Changsun Wuji got up to take his leave and leave.

After Changsun Wuji went back, he immediately wrote back to Songtsan Gampo, declined Songtsan Gampo's request with tactful words, and sent someone to send it to Tubo.

Li Chengqian didn't know what Changsun Wuji wrote, and he didn't ask. He didn't want to know what he wrote.

……

When it was time for lunch, the maid brought Li Chengqian's meal and placed it in front of him.

Li Chengqian looked at the food on the table, but he didn't have any appetite at all. Every time he ate it, it was the same, nothing new, and he was already tired of eating it.

Although stir-fried dishes appeared as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were not popular in the Tang Dynasty, and only became popular in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, there are still many vegetables, melons and fruits that have not been introduced to Datang from abroad. If you want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, you can't do it at all.

Because there are only eggs without tomatoes, and eggs without tomatoes, it is impossible to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

well!It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

There is no problem with scrambled eggs without tomatoes.

"Everyone, but the food doesn't suit your taste?" Wang Quan asked when he saw that Li Chengqian was holding chopsticks and hadn't moved for a long time.

"Remove all these from me, and inform the catering bureau to fry a few eggs for me, and boil a piece of white meat. I really want to eat it with soy sauce." Li Chengqian put down his chopsticks and said.

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order, and immediately called the maid to remove the dishes from the table in front of Li Chengqian, and then sent someone to notify the food bureau to prepare the delicacies that the emperor wanted according to Li Chengqian's request.

Naturally, the imperial chefs did not dare to be negligent, and quickly made new dishes according to Li Chengqian's request, and the maids brought them to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was thinking about the future direction of development while eating lunch.

First of all, how should we increase food production in China? In addition to hybrid rice, we should plant more other edible crops, as long as the food production is sufficient.

In the future, if there are natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods in the country, it will be able to sustain it.

There is also a need to vigorously develop the economy to improve the national level, but it is far from enough to rely solely on banks and newspapers to obtain wealth and income.

It is necessary to increase foreign trade and encourage more people to do business, so as to better drive the economic development of Datang.

If you want to increase foreign trade, you must firmly control the entire Hexi Corridor in your hands, so that the battle between Datang and Tubo will be inevitable in the future.

In addition to conducting business and trade in the north, it can also develop in the south and conduct maritime trade through coastal cities.

Trade with other overseas countries through the Maritime Silk Road, and transport the rich things of the Tang Dynasty to other overseas countries for sale.

Then, introduce new varieties or goods from other countries, such as potatoes, tomatoes, and so on.

Not only that, but banks can also be opened in other overseas countries.

Therefore, the research institute must allocate some talents to specialize in shipbuilding technology. Only when the shipbuilding technology is strong enough can we build powerful ships.

At that time, the ships will be strong and the guns will be strong, and it will not be a problem to colonize overseas.

In addition to economic issues, there are also external issues.

Don't look at the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, it won't be long before the Tang Dynasty will face the problem of attacking Goguryeo again, and Tubo in the southwest will also take the opportunity to expand westward.

This is related to the future development of Datang, so we must pay enough attention to it.

Don't look at the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, but all the way to the west, especially in the Western Regions, there are still many small countries that are unwilling to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks are jumping up and down again.

Now the country is peaceful, but the Western Regions are in turmoil, and small-scale battles continue. If you want to completely control the Western Regions, you must first eliminate the Western Turks.
