Chapter 1060 Declaring War
When Luo Binwang saw that he moved me, he was relieved and laughed at himself: "Binwang and the young master are friends because of his character and knowledge. Now that he can see the young master governing people through learning, he should continue to do his best to help him."
At the request of the faculty and staff of the Tang Dynasty Qujiang Academy, after discussion and approval by the Tang Dynasty Qujiang Academy Federation, "Theory of Heaven and Evolution" officially became a compulsory course for the Tang Dynasty Qujiang Academy. Each student of the academy was handed in one volume. What surprised me was that after hearing this news, the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty also applied to me. Naturally, I did not dare to take the initiative without authorization, and reported to Uncle Li Jing and passed it smoothly.
Although some civil officials complained about the military academy's move, the problem was that the Tang Dynasty Royal Military Academy was not under their jurisdiction, and they had no way to interfere in the teaching of the academy. Therefore, they could only act like tickling the boots. Uncle Li still acted indifferently. Anyway, with Uncle Li Jing, the Tang Dynasty military god standing here and standing in front, they naturally could only be speechless after a few words.
However, in various newspapers and magazines, the debates about "Theory of Heaven" have been one after another, and they have become a quarrel. I also joined the battle group a few days later and fought with these people very enthusiastically. In addition, I also issued a statement in newspapers. If anyone is dissatisfied with my "Theory of Heaven", I can, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, I will wait for you to come to argue at the Qujiang Forum to see what is wrong with my master's theory?
Once this statement was published, it immediately received a response from the vast majority of scholars. Whether it was against me, agreed with me, or the wise and kind-hearted people who remained neutral, they believed that this was the best solution. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the stuttering was a new year, this year, the Tang Dynasty had a great harvest, not only in terms of food and taxation, but also in terms of diplomacy and construction of the Tang Dynasty. The towering Khan road to Tielou tribes has been completely repaired and started to be used. From Chang'an, you can take a four-wheeled carriage and go straight to Xiaohai. The sixty-eight fortresses along the way have become a large distribution center for 68 famous Tang Dynasty merchants and travelers to trade with nomadic peoples.
This enabled the Tang Dynasty to strengthen trade and cultural exchanges with nomadic peoples and made due contributions to the Tang Dynasty's control of the northern grassland areas. In addition, most of the straight roads from Chang'an to the Persian Protectorate have been repaired. At most one year, a smooth road between the Tang Dynasty and Persia will be able to appear, which will make it easier for business travelers and travelers to live in the Persian Protectorate.
At present, due to the hints of Uncle Li and the permission of the government agencies, I obeyed the tens of thousands of elite Tang Dynasty expeditionary troops in the Persian Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. The families of many soldiers and soldiers have arrived at the Persian Protectorate in the thousands of miles of migration with Xi Junmai to live in the Persian Protectorate in a total of more than 3,500 households, totaling more than 20,000 people. In addition, those bachelors in the army have taken concubines and married wives in the local area, which has increased a lot of households, but not too many, and only more than 5,000 households are added to the relocated households.
In addition, there are also many merchants who have been stationed in the Persian Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and there are at least about 2,000 merchants in the Tang Dynasty. Many other barbarians from Central Asia have also come. There are more than twice as many vendors than the Tang Dynasty, making the Persian Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, which originally seemed a little deserted, now there are noisy people and a lot of lively. There is already a trend of germination and development of international trade cities.
In addition, Uncle Cheng is still making fun of the Tubo Plateau and is taking the lead everywhere. Nepal is under the teasing of this evil old man. The relationship with the Tubo Luoshecheng Group represented by Lu Dongzan is in a drastic deterioration. According to Uncle Cheng's letter, the old guy patted his chest and promised that he would give him three or five months at most, and both sides would be able to be tied up. At that time, the Tang Dynasty would gain greater benefits.
Well, he is so shameless that he is clearly a good geography of Nepal, because if the Tang Dynasty occupied Tubo and Nepal, he would be able to enter and exit India from two directions. Moreover, Uncle Li Ji did not need to conquer the land of India, and he would have to go back to the Tang Dynasty by taking the same route. He could do Uncle Cheng a favor and pinch Nepal out.
Well, the trophy industry of the former world has been brought to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. The countless ivory, jewelry, gold and spices made Uncle Li happy. After the soldiers return to their country, they will be distilled into cash and withdraw 20% to reward the soldiers' achievements, and also receive various honors and rewards.
General Zhang made a suggestion to Uncle Li. With the permission of Uncle Li, he began to build a large port and shipyard in the later Singapore location. Now named Cape City by General Zhang, so that locally produced teak can be used to make better warships. Teak is the best shipbuilding material recognized in the world before the emergence of steel.
General Zhang's proposal was immediately supported by the veterans of the Tang Dynasty's Staff Academy. Uncle Li did not hesitate, but directly agreed to General Zhang's request, because teak is almost everywhere in the Indochina Peninsula. Building a shipyard here is not only for local materials, but also, Uncle Li also saw the importance of this Cape City. It not only has an excellent geographical location, but also as long as the Tang Dynasty occupied it, it can bring all the islands in South Asia to the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty. After so many years of investigation, Uncle Li and the senior leaders of the Tang Dynasty's political institutions have understood the importance of the rich minerals and resources of the South Asian islands to the prosperity of the Tang Empire.
Li Zhi and I were behind all the ministers, watching these spoils, while reviewing them. I was not interested in ivory and rhinoceros horns. Instead, I prefer spices, jewelry, gold and other ingredients. Li Zhi was very curious: "Brother Jun, are these things in your eyes all useless?"
"Although it is not useless, it is useless. These spices are still in the taste of the teacher." I pinched a piece of sandalwood in front of the root and put it under my nose to smell it. The fragrance emitted by this purple sandalwood is unique. It is a pure natural and precious spice that can not match any artificially synthesized fragrance and perfume. It is simply a gift given to us mankind by nature.
Seeing me like this, Li Zhi could only shake his head to show his respect. However, while this guy looked at these things, he kept tutting. Looking at so many rare treasures in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we don't have enough manpower to enter the Zuoyuan, alas..."
"Brother Jun, what do you mean?" Li Zhi couldn't understand. I sighed with emotion: "You think, the world is so big, the task of my Tang Dynasty entering the Zuzu Academy is too heavy, and it is difficult to devote my energy to discovering new species and islands, and I am even worried."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "This is not a big deal. I searched slowly. In the past hundred years, I can always find out all these places without rushing to do so."
"This is not a question of whether to hurry or not. I think that in fact, I, the Tang Dynasty, can go further and faster in this aspect." I slowly lost this sentence. Li Zhi next to me was gestured with an ivory. When he heard me say this, he was stunned and threw the ivory back into the box and asked at me: "Is Brother Jun the truth?"
"Can I coax you, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?" I raised my hands and walked slowly with confidence: "If this strategy can be implemented for the master, don't let the country spend time and effort to explore it. At that time, my Tang Empire will not need to spend a penny to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. What I have paid is just a few medals and some benefits."
"Some interests, what interests?" Li Zhi was quite sensitive to the word "interest". It seemed that in his mind, interests now accounted for more than half of his thinking structure.
I looked around first, and there was no one around. Uncle Li and a group of old hooligans were admiring a very beautiful big red-haired parrot in front of him, as if he was trying to make the bird chirping. Poor, a group of old hooligans, I don’t know whose bird it was... Well, it’s not mine anyway.
Seeing that I looked admiring, Li Zhi couldn't help but lower his voice, but his tone seemed quite excited: "Brother Jun, don't tease Xiaozhi, talk quickly."
