After the speeches of Zong Ze and other ministers of the Ministry of Communications, Li Nan remembered the situation when he went to Tibet, and he also felt that he was thinking about this matter too simply.

Li Nan knew that it would be difficult to build a road to connect Tibet, but he had to do it.

After all, if there were no roads connected to the empire, then the already remote Tibetan people would naturally become more and more estranged from other ethnic groups in the Central Plains.

Moreover, Tibet is also a base for future westward development, so it is imperative to build roads, no matter how difficult it is.

"Tyrion, Karina, tell me about the feasibility of building roads in Tibet!"

As the Empire's Minister of the Interior, Tyrion had long known Li Nan's intentions, but at this moment, he had to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty thinks that this is not a good time to build a road to Tibet.

The empire has been at war for many years, and it was not until the last major war with the Jin Kingdom that it was settled, and it has only been peaceful for two years today.

Now the newly occupied Zhenla region in the south of the empire, the area north of the Changbai Mountain ceded by the Jin Kingdom in the north, and other areas are all developing greatly.

It is no exaggeration to say. Now that infrastructure is under construction throughout the empire, the empire's financial and material resources are being seriously consumed, and it is simply not capable of carrying out such a large project in Tibet. ”

Then the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Karina So, reported: "Taxes have been increasing every year throughout the Empire, but there is no deposit in the treasury because of the high expenditures. ”

Karina's statement is quite euphemistic, because Li Nan set a very low tax, plus a lot of spending on education, water conservancy, transportation and other things, so in fact, she wants to say that the empire's finances have been unable to make ends meet for several years.

Two trusted cabinet ministers came out to discourage the construction of roads in Tibet, which is enough to prove that all the courtiers did not approve of this matter.

In the face of opposition, Li Nan thought about it for a long time and said to the ministers: "I know that it is difficult to build roads in Tibet, but this matter must be done. ”

"Since it is difficult to build, let's build it slowly, I don't ask the transportation department to build this road in a few days, but I have to insist on building even one meter every day.

As for the financial problems, it is also easy to solve, temporarily suspend the less important projects in the empire, and mobilize the funds and workers to Tibet! ”

After giving the courtiers a solution, Li Nan, who knew what they were thinking, said to all the courtiers present: "All Aiqing come with me!" ”

Li Nan walked out of the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Council first, and took all the courtiers to a palace room at the back.

There are no furnishings in this large hall, and the most striking thing is a huge map built on the ground.

To put it simply, in this hall, a world map is made on the ground by skilled craftsmen.

It was not easy to build this map, and since he established the capital in Changsha, Li Nan ordered craftsmen to make it, because the map has been changed many times as information has been collected.

Li Nan took all the courtiers to the east side of the main hall, pointed to the land near the blue sea, and said, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Not everyone in the imperial courtiers knew the map, especially such a vast map beyond their imagination, or the Minister of National Defense Luda said tentatively: "Isn't this our Chinese Empire?" ”

"Hahaha......" Li Nan smiled and patted Luda's shoulder, and said with his chin bowed: "That's right." ”

With the words of Ruda and Li Nan as the premise, after determining the location of the empire, the other courtiers also saw some clues to this map.

The few islands in the ocean closest to the courtiers were also guessed to be the island nation, Goryeo, and Taiwan, and when they noticed that the red color representing the empire only occupied a small area of the entire map, they were all stunned.

Li Nan took off his shoes and walked on the map, he stood in the imperial territory on the east side, looked at the boundless land in the west and said to everyone: "Come up, come up with me, and see how big this world is!" ”

Many imperial courtiers took off their shoes in unison, came to the red imperial area on the map and stood still, staring blankly at the unheard of maps on the west side in a daze.

Judging from the colors on the map, the Chinese Empire has indeed become the largest country in the east of this land, but to the west of the Tibetan tribes that have not yet been dyed the red of the empire, there are also Western Liao, the Gur Dynasty, the vast Mongolian region, and the small countries of different colors on the Indian Peninsula.

Further west, there are Khorasan, Kipchak tribes, Bedouin desert areas, Midia Seljuk, and other countries and regions.

Because the main hall occupies a very large area, the imperial ministers can only see here, and those places further west can no longer be seen clearly.

Since many people saw this complete world map for the first time, they were inevitably extremely shocked in their hearts, so Li Nan gave the ministers some buffer time.

When everyone's shock gradually subsided, Li Nan led everyone to the Tibetan land where the Tibetan tribes were located, and standing here looking at the vast territory in the west, Li Nan asked, "Do you still think that Tibet is an insignificant place?" Do you still think that our country is already big? Do you still feel like you don't have any merit to earn? ”

The Wenchen present was still there, and the generals saw the vast land in the west and north, and their eyes really lit up.

Because for every general, what they are most afraid of is that the country has no enemies and wars, and the generals of all dynasties will suffer the devastating blow of 'flying birds and bows hidden, cunning rabbits and dead lackeys cooking' during this period.

If a military general wants to be promoted to an official and make a fortune and leave a name in history, the only way to do so is to expand the territory and follow the dragon.

Others don't know, but the generals in the army know that Emperor Li Nannai is a top master, and it is estimated that it will not be surprising to live for another hundred years, so after discovering such a vast and unknown place, their hearts are full of excitement and joy.

Li Nan found that because there was no war during this time, there were many contradictions within the empire.

Similar to some small contradictions, Li Nan can find a way to solve them, but the problem of integration between the people of various nationalities and regions can by no means be eliminated overnight.

In addition, because of the factional problems generated by the prince, this is also the reason why the vision of many subjects is too low, so Li Nan thought of a trick commonly used in the United States in later generations.

There are many contradictions in the United States, so those in power often use the Dafa of diverting attention, so that as long as there are threats and wars from abroad, then the people can see what the country is doing to avoid losing confidence in the country.

With these external goals, it is possible to unite the national pride of the people of the empire, and to raise the emotions of all the people and to share the same hatred. It will also help to accelerate the integration of various ethnic groups and bring the whole country together.
