These glass trophies are relatively small, much smaller than the trophies of later generations, and the shape is not very like a cup, only about three inches long, thicker than the tip of a finger, and the base is a wider hemispherical shape to allow the trophy to stand up.

Although the size of this trophy is very small, there are many patterns carved on it, and there are also a lot of Tang Dynasty characters, in fact, it is just a five-character poem, which is a poem that encourages children to learn.

The trophy that won the sports award is actually engraved with poems to encourage learning, which is somewhat funny, but the purpose of Ang Lee's large-scale production of this kind of trophy is to encourage learning.

In the school warehouse of Datang Chang'an City, there are many such trophies, and every time a cultural competition is held, the award-winning students can get such trophies.

However, not all the trophies made by Ang Lee are so small, some are larger, or more exquisite, and the ones he carried when he went south this time were all the lowest and most compact ones, and he only brought a few hundred.

In the era when glass was not popular, such a fully transparent trophy was very valuable, and this can also be regarded as a handicraft, so it is even more valuable.

Ang Lee's willingness to reward such a valuable item to the schoolchildren participating in the competition is enough to show the importance he attaches to these children.

Regardless of their academic performance, these children are very likely to become the pillars of Anshi County in the future, and giving them some encouragement at this time will be grateful in the future and will always remember themselves, which is naturally a great thing for Ang Lee.

When these children hold the glass trophy in their hands, they seem to be very fond of it, they are so big, they should have never seen such exquisite handicrafts, such transparent glass trophies, even in the Tang Empire, it is also a very rare item, everyone who wins the glass trophy, regards it as a treasure.

Even, even these Datang officials were jealous, and their eyes looking at the trophy were a little wrong, probably because they thought that Li An was too good to these kids!

After the prizes were distributed, Ang Lee happily announced: "It's already noon, it's time to eat." ”

The number of tables and chairs in the cafeteria is not enough to accommodate everyone, so some children have to choose to eat in the classroom, anyway, there is no shortage of tables and chairs, and they eat the same everywhere.

There aren't many types of meals, but they're all delicious enough to fill everyone's meal.

When the awards were presented just now, the schoolchildren who failed to participate in the competition were still a little greedy and unhappy, but as soon as they saw that there was a delicious meal, they immediately stopped thinking so, and they all danced with their eyebrows, as if they had completely forgotten the loneliness and envy and jealousy just now.

Children are like this, as long as there is good food and drink, they will be very happy, their utilitarianism is relatively small, not accounting for too much too long, unhappy things, will soon forget, and unlike some adults, will always be obsessed, and even think about harming others, in order to seek psychological balance.

The meal was eaten in half an hour, and the university hall was closed for half a day, after which all the children left the school and returned to their respective homes.

Li An is also leaving the university hall, and this is the last time Li An enters the school, and early the next morning, he will leave Anshi County and go to the vicinity of the Persian Gulf, which is the ideal place for the Datang Railway to lead to the seaport, and it is an area that must be occupied.

Li An didn't know much about the local situation, although he had already sent an advance team to investigate, but there was not much news back, and it was still relatively scattered, perhaps because the road was too far away, the advance team could not find the ideal location that Li An wanted.

This location is located between Da Shi and Tianzhu, and it should belong to the junction zone of the two sides competing for power, occupying a base in this place, and then building an important port, is very important for Datang.

Because this place is not very far from Tochar, only a few hundred miles at most, and Tocharian has now begun to build a railway, and only needs to continue to the southwest to reach this seaport.

In this way, once the railway passes, the goods of Datang Anxi can arrive at the port within a few days, and be transported from the port to the surrounding countries, which is very important for trade and circulation, and also has a great effect on controlling overseas countries.

On the occasion of leaving the university hall, Li An looked at the master who saw him off and said, "Come on, bring the trophy box." ”

"Li Shilang, there are so many trophies here, these are all valuable!"

Master had never seen such a beautiful trophy, and felt that it was a waste to give such a precious thing to a child.

If they knew that these glass products were not much more expensive than sand, they would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood immediately.

"Centennial plan, education-oriented, these remaining trophies will be handed over to you, in the future, a cultural competition will be held every six months, the winners will be awarded trophies, sports competitions will also be given, if it is not enough, the official will also send someone to send, can better motivate the children to learn and exercise, this is the ultimate goal of the official."

Ang Lee said happily.

"Li Shilang attaches so much importance to education, we are really ......"

A burst of moving tears remained, some of these masters are already very old, but the ability to sensationalize is not small at all, and it is really powerful to say that the tears of crying will flow down quickly.

After leaving the school, Li An saw that it was still early, so he went to the experimental field, wanting to take one last look at the crops in the experimental field and figure out what plants were suitable for growing in the local area and what crops could not grow.

The experimental field is the best testing instrument, and different crops planted in the same experimental field under the same conditions will obtain completely different results.

Some crops grow very spiritually, which can be described as lifelike, but some crops grow very badly, the leaves are burnt yellow, and they seem very unenergetic, and even, some crops do not grow at all, and the high-yield crops in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty cannot grow at all in Anshi County.

"You've all seen it! These are the seeds of different crops, and the official is doing this experimental field to find out what kind of crops are suitable for planting in Anshi County, and most of the people here survive by eating fish, which is not rich in nutrition, which is very unfavorable to people's health, and moreover, the people who can be fed by eating fish are limited, or planting is more reliable, so that agriculture can feed more people. ”

Li An looked at the officials of Anshi County behind him and said seriously.

"What Li Shilang said is that if Anshi County wants to develop better, it must strive to develop planting and animal husbandry, and we will definitely not slack off, and we will do our best to help the local people, so that they can master the skills of planting and animal husbandry, so that Anshi County can get more people."

Chen Tingshi was the first to take the lead.

The rest of the officials also expressed their support, indicating that it is their duty to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, and that it is what they should do.

In later societies, the performance of a local official was mainly reflected in economic growth, environmental sanitation, and the reduction of the crime rate, and there was no requirement for the size of the population.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, an important part of the evaluation of officials was population growth, and the more the population under the rule of local officials, the higher the performance score.

This is because the population growth in ancient times was disturbed by diseases and wars, and there were many thieves and bandits who plagued the common people, so the growth was very slow, and it was very difficult to increase the population quickly.

Only when officials work diligently and lead the people under their rule to build water conservancy and crusade against bandits and bandits, can the people under their rule live a more stable life, and after they have enough food and clothing, can the people increase their population faster and better.

The size of the population reflects the strength of an empire, only with a large population can it have the strength to defend its vested interests, if the population is sparse, the empire is easily annexed by foreign enemies.

Anshi County is an overseas territory of Datang and a part of Datang, as officials of Anshi County, they naturally have the responsibility to maintain the prosperity and stability of the region and increase the population as much as possible.

However, there has been a famous saying since ancient times, that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and foreigners always feel very unreliable, as if they all have some kind of wolf ambition.

For a long time before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the land of China was in an extremely chaotic Wuhu Chaos Era, which was the darkest era for the entire Chinese nation, and the Han nation, which represented Chinese orthodoxy, was almost slaughtered, and the life of the common people was very difficult.

It is precisely for this reason that, when it is appropriate to summarize the day after tomorrow, we will come to the view that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, which is actually a discriminatory view.

Whenever a foreigner rebels, he will label the foreigner as a person who is not my race and his heart will be different, and if there is a traitor within his own nation, what can he say? Are all those who have different hearts alien? There will also be traitors in their own nation, and whether they rebel or not has little to do with whether they are alien or not.

It's just that people in general tend to favor their own people and hate people who are not close to them, such as feeling that their relatives are trustworthy, while foreign surnames are unreliable.

But in the end, this is not the case, there are many people with foreign surnames who are traitors, such as the Sima family, who usurped the Cao family's country, and examples like this in the Southern Dynasty abound, and there are more people who kill each other, the change of Xuanwumen, and there are more uncles who take away their nephews.

In short, whether it is reliable or not has little to do with blood kinship, whether there is an external heart, and whether it is one's own nation or not is not necessarily related.

But in history, there have indeed been many examples of foreign rebellions and slaughtering the Chinese nation, but this is largely related to ambition and interests.

In addition, in later generations, not all of the dozens of ethnic groups have become a family, and no one has seen any dissent, which is also because of interests.

The state treats these ethnic groups well, gives preferential treatment to these ethnic groups, allows them to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and can live a better life, they will naturally support the government, and the reason why many alien races have the opportunity to rebel is because there are problems within China, so that some of the careerists of these alien races have the opportunity to make trouble.

As long as the Chinese Empire is not chaotic, the alien race will never have a chance to cause chaos, and even if it initiates a rebellion, there is no possibility of success.

Later Zhao Emperor Shi Le, originally just a slave of a different race, he also wanted to be a slave for a lifetime, but God did not give him such a chance, in the end, he had to resist, and finally became an emperor.

It was the rebellion of the eight kings of the Sima family that gave these people of different races a chance, if the emperor of the Sima family was a capable person, not a fool, then there would not be such a big turmoil, and the little minions of the foreign race would naturally have no chance to rebel, and the land of China would not have set off a catastrophe.

That is to say, as long as there is no major turmoil in the Tang Empire and the local officials can handle various things well, then Anshi County will not have much of a problem, even if the population increases many times, it will never be a threat to the Tang Empire, because they will become the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Ang Lee spent a huge price to invest in the education industry, you can't underestimate these 300 schoolchildren, they are seeds, the university hall will expand in the future, there will be more and more seeds in the future, and when these children become adults, because they have learned a lot of historical and cultural knowledge of Datang, they will unconsciously think that they are a member of Datang, so as to be loyal to Datang.

For example, the Xianbei nation is one of the five chaotic China, but the Xianbei people appreciate the culture of the Han nation very much and study very hard.

In this way, the Xianbei people gradually regard themselves as Han Chinese, and regard other ethnic minorities who do not study Han culture well as ugly prisoners, which is the best example, this is the charm of culture.

An excellent civilization is conquest, and will unconsciously counterattack and invade his civilization, so that the invaders will unknowingly become a victim of the counterattack, Xianbei entered the Central Plains, and defeated the Chinese nation by force, but soon, they regarded themselves as the Chinese nation, completely forgetting who their ancestors were.

Although China lost temporarily, but the powerful power of civilization, so that Xianbei completely integrated, since then, Xianbei ethnic groups have become a part of the Chinese nation, Xianbei nationality completely disappeared from the long river of history, disappeared without a trace, on the ID card of later generations, Xianbei can not be found at all, all Xianbei surnames, have become the Han nation.

Of course, Ang Lee didn't have so much time to explain his understanding to these officials, and it was enough for him to order these officials to do what they had to do.

In addition, although the local population will increase greatly after the economic conditions improve, the population of Datang will also grow, as long as there are enough interests here, many people who can't get along in the local area will be forced to choose to survive here, so as to expand the Datang population of Anshi County, and finally let this overseas territory have a large number of Han population, further consolidating the local occupation of Datang.
