Yes, is it really necessary for a country to do this?

If they did, then it must be explained that there was something in this that made them have to do it, and what was the reason for it? Lee Seung-kwang didn't know.

As the crown prince, he has access to many, many secrets, but in the same way, as the crown prince, as a crown prince at such a young age, not all secrets can be accessed by him.

The secrets of Datang are being decrypted to him step by step as Li Chengguang grows older, and every year, he will come into contact with something he has never been exposed to before.

It's as if someone has restricted the level permissions, and if the level is not reached, this part of the permissions will not be unlocked.

And rank is age, or rather, his thoughts, his abilities.

"Over the years, Datang has progressed too fast, everyone wants to soar into the sky, and I want to too.

But I am a little afraid, the overseas world is very vast, and there are still many places waiting for Datang to conquer, but before that, Datang must do what he should do, and rushing out rashly will only make Datang lose himself in the outside world of flowers, thus forgetting his original intention.

A Tang Dynasty that has lost itself is not far from destruction, and the former dynasty is a good example. Li Yuanji opened his mouth to explain.

As the crown prince, Li Yuanji must instill this kind of ideology in Li Chengguang, and don't think about unrealistic things when his own strength is not strong enough.

If judged as a standard for later generations, at this time, Li Yuanji should be commanding thousands of Tang Dynasty troops, wantonly posing prestige anywhere in the world.

But does that kind of majesty work? Is it good for the country, for the nation?

Do you have to get that step to be happy?

Li Yuanji didn't want to, so he had the previous plan to stop and delay the appearance of a few years, so there was now a matter of concealing the real data.

What is concealed is only the total data, but the actual investment is only a lot more, and the purpose of this is to make Datang develop rapidly.

Resources, just enough, with their own needs, to continue to expand, not when the demand is one, directly towards the goal of ten to expand, that can only drag yourself down.

"Erchen remembers the teachings of his father, and he will definitely go on step by step in the future!" Lee Seung-gwang understood Lee Won-gil's purpose.

Let yourself look at these materials and tell yourself this, not to tell yourself how powerful Datang is, but to tell yourself how fragile Datang is now, and to tell yourself that you must be down-to-earth, step by step, and don't think about those unrealistic things.

In fact, Li Chengguang himself is also this idea, although Li Yuanji did not say this before, but the previous incident in Nanyang, Li Chengguang's thoughts have been thoroughly displayed.

He can see the present and the future.

If it was just a prince who was very happy, Li Chengguang's suggestion at that time would not have been to send envoys to make friends, and then go to the mines to obtain resources through normal means.

As far as the news brought back by the fleet, it doesn't take much, transfer the marines to three divisions, you can completely control half of the area, those resources are enough, and then spend a few years training more marines to occupy other places.

Learn from Jeju, learn from North Korea, learn from the East China Sea, and turn them into the South China Sea provinces of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengguang knows very well that this is only the ultimate goal of Datang, but at the moment, it is not suitable to show such a domineering posture.

How long did it take for Datang to take Tubo? It took four years to train the plateau army.

How long did it take to take Jeju? It also took four years to train the Marine Corps.

The capture of North Korea was the piggyback after the capture of Jeju, and if you really had to start from scratch, it took more than six years to take North Korea.

How long did it take to take the Western Regions? It's been almost ten years, and anyway, it hasn't really been taken yet, and Datang can send troops to it, but now it's building a railway.

And those Haidong provinces, it took twelve years directly, from the beginning of the Wubu family to take the initiative to contact, Li Yuanji was planning this matter.

Through the arms deal, the women of the Yamato Kingdom were brought to the Tang Dynasty and promised to be married to the Han people for childbirth.

Through the support of two sides, they have been in internal war for nearly ten years, and their own strength has been devastated.

Then Datang was still not in a hurry to send troops, and it didn't start sending troops until last year, so what were you doing in the middle of the past two years?

Building roads!

From the Datang mainland, the improvised road across the whole of North Korea, and then by trucks, by transport ships, a large amount of supplies were transported to the southern ports of North Korea, where resources were stored.

When the resources were sufficient, he sent troops, and then spent two months destroying the Yamato Province, which had already suffered a lot of vitality, and turned it into the Haidong provinces.

As for the plan for the Nanyang region, Li Chengguang also formulated this plan with reference to these previous examples.

And his plan is to befriend the royal families in various places, and then secretly stir up chaos within them, which can cause war, and if not, he can also get resources.

At the same time, to conduct a detailed survey of those places, at least to ensure that when the Tang army landed, it could be as familiar as entering their own back garden, not only familiar with the terrain, but also familiar with the enemy's strength.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

In this plan, Li Chengguang also gave a specific implementation time, but this specific time is very vague.

When Datang's industrial supply and demand are about to exceed local demand, it is time for them to harvest.

This routine has won the true biography of Li Yuanji, which is why Li Yuanji did not put forward any opinions.

"Can a country continue to be strong? Forever? Li Yuanji was very satisfied with Li Chengguang's answer, and prepared a lot of words, but he didn't expect that he would understand after only one paragraph, and then asked.

"Theoretically it does not exist, when it is strong to a certain extent, it is very likely that it will not be able to break through this bottleneck, whether it can continue to be strong, to a large extent, depends on whether it can bring about any comprehensive changes, just like before under the leadership of his father, Datang began the industrial revolution, theoretically the industrial revolution also has its peak, to here, unless earth-shaking changes occur, otherwise the only thing to do is to maintain, or decline.

As for going on forever......" Li Chengguang was a little confused, he didn't know the answer to this question, and according to historical experience, it was not possible.

"It's the inheritance ......" Li Yuanji said lightly, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes gradually drifted into the distance.
