Chapter 718: Harvest
Li Yuanji's words made Li Chengguang gradually begin to recall the scene of the year.
was made the crown prince at the age of eight, and when he was seven years old, he already had this meaning, and began to cultivate, and the scenes in the middle kept appearing in Li Chengguang's mind.
Some of them were requested by the father, some were voluntarily asked by the emperor, and those requested by the father were from easy to difficult, from just looking at it and understanding it, to the later ones to say some feelings and opinions according to what they saw.
In fact, this is also slowly cultivating his consciousness and mentality of becoming a person in power, and constantly contacting the grassroots, so that Li Chengguang has not departed from the grassroots, at least he knows what kind of decisions the grassroots do not want.
This is important, at least in the future, that he will not make decisions that are completely contrary to the people.
One thing after another, one scene after another appeared in his mind, Li Chengguang recalled it over and over again, while sighing, time flies so fast.
Li Chengguang doesn't know whether one-third of the country can be controlled, but judging from the current situation in Annan, his series of decisions are undoubtedly correct, Annan is developing in a good direction, and Annan's vitality is recovering.
And this time Nanyang's affairs, he is basically in charge of himself, if this is also counted, then he has quietly possessed the ability to control one-third of Datang.
Thinking of this, Li Chengguang was unconsciously taken aback by his own ability, and at the same time admired his father's education methods.
All of this is under the control of his father, although protection and support are indispensable in the middle, but his ability has undoubtedly been greatly improved after becoming the crown prince, there is no doubt about it.
Li Chengguang subconsciously memorized his experience, and it turned out that this method was useful, in another five years? Another ten years? I can basically have the ability to completely control Datang.
And at that time, even if he ascends the throne, Datang will not have too much turmoil, for no other reason, his own ability is enough.
At that time, he was only nineteen years old, twenty-four years old, and there were many emperors at this age, but there were not many who could completely control the overall situation at this age.
Back in the East Palace, Li Chengguang silently locked himself in the study, and began to write down the content of today's conversation, as well as his own experience over the years, what his father did, and his own feelings.
He plans to choose his successor in this way when he ascends the throne in the future.
My father is right, when there is a change of power, it is often the most chaotic era of a country, and the ability of the successor determines the length of this chaotic time.
Li Chengguang has not yet figured out how to solve this problem, but selecting a qualified successor and training him in advance so that he has enough ability before he ascends the throne can undoubtedly reduce the chaotic time and ensure the country's long-term prosperity and stability to the greatest extent.
The thirteenth year of Shenyuan flew by like a meteor.
This year, all the construction sites are in full swing, the railway has also been passed to Ezhou, and then to the south, the railway is intermittent, some of them have been connected, and the rest of the railway bridge can be built after the railway bridge is built, it is expected that the fastest Shenyuan 14th year, the slowest Shenyuan 15th year can be opened to traffic at the beginning of the whole line.
The Guangzhou Academy has been built, but due to the fact that the railway has not yet been built, it can only transport people by shipping for the time being.
However, in the thirteenth year of Shenyuan, Guangzhou Academy did not start classes, but was making final preparations, and it is expected that classes will officially open in the second half of the fourteenth year of Shenyuan.
This means that in the second half of next year, the four academies will complete the feat of splitting into five academies, which is the first time in history and the first time in the reform of the education system.
In the second half of the thirteenth year of Shenyuan, Li Chengguang concurrently served as the pastor of Yongzhou, a position that had an official position in the past, but no one had held it, in the hands of Li Chengguang, Yongzhou is also a province, and the highest governor is the governor of Dadu, and there is no positioning for Yongzhou Mu, Li Yuanji positioned it as the second in command of Yongzhou Province.
Li Chengguang began to have the experience of being in charge of the party for the first time, although it was not a remote area, but the identity of the crown prince was there, and there was nothing to say about giving him this position.
Also in the second half of the year, the Northern Fleet led by Pang Bing finally returned safely to Haicheng Port after a year and three months of sailing.
He left with one hundred and seventeen ships, and returned with the same one hundred and seventeen, but more than ten were towed back.
In any case, the return of the Northern Fleet means that Datang's first marine plan has been successful.
Pang Bing brought back precious nautical charts, precious geographical information, when he saw the nautical charts, Li Yuanji was undoubtedly the most excited, the farthest place the fleet arrived, was the southernmost point of Chile.
And brought back a large amount of copper there, Chile is the country with the largest copper reserves in the world, once it gets here, Datang will not have to worry about copper problems in the future.
In addition, Pang Bing also brought back what Li Yuanji wanted most.
Crops belonging to South America, corn, sweet potatoes, various potato crops, tomatoes, peanuts, pumpkins, apples, pineapples and other fruits, which are available in the Americas, are basically brought back.
Pang Bing even established a good relationship with various places along the way, and agreed with them about the goods they wanted, asked them what they wanted, according to the distance of the voyage, according to the speed of the fleet, about three times a year, which was a huge surprise.
Discover, and manage.
If maritime trade can go faster and bring more benefits, it is necessary to ensure the safety of shipping routes first.
As a result, Datang began the vast construction task, and according to the marks on the nautical chart, a total of nearly 70 sea docks were built along the way.
It is simple, the requirements are not high, it can provide a stable port for overnight ships, it is not necessary for all ships to enter the port, as long as there is a place that can be linked, and the rest can be fixed with anchor chains and ship connecting rods.
The most important thing on the island is the lighthouse, which is used to guide nearby fleets at night.
So, for each proposed pier, what needs to be built is very simple, a wooden pier, a few fixed piles deep into the ground, a house, a lighthouse.
So, when Pang Bing set out for the second time, the ship brought a lot of cement, sand, a small amount of stones and steel bars, and then there was a construction team of nearly 10,000 people, and only a small amount of goods were carried on board.
Along the way, they kept dropping down building materials, construction teams and food, and when they came back, they would be picked up all the way, so that the road would be complete, and the rest would just wait for the army to send someone to receive it.
