Chapter 711: First Inside, Then Outside

Listening to Li Chengguang's answer, Li Yuanji was very pleased, and at the same time, the thoughts in his heart were firm again.

Li Chengguang's life was completely free-range in the early stage, and since he intended to make him the prince, Li Yuanji took over the responsibility of training himself.

In five years, as he grew older and his experience grew, the prince gradually matured.

When thinking about problems, there is a little less immaturity, a little less naivety, being able to think about certain issues in a down-to-earth manner, being able to see the essence of things clearly, and being able to resist the temptation.

The ministers' eyes also showed a slight glimmer of light, if Li Chengguang had given them enough shining points before, then today, even if Li Chengguang ascended the throne now, they would not have any objections.

Although immature, although young, but the overall situation has been formed, as long as the overall situation remains unchanged, the rest can be slowly changed, Li Chengguang is only thirteen years old, he still has enough time, the current Datang, although the development is rapid, but in fact, it is developing step by step.

The existing plan is enough for Datang to develop for five to ten years, or even fifty years, and there is no need for Li Chengguang to formulate any earth-shattering development plans.

As long as he can stick to his heart and keep his original intention in mind.

It can be said that as long as this policy is determined, Datang will not be chaotic in the next few decades.

It can even be said that Li Chengguang's life path, Li Yuanji has paved the way for him, Datang's advantage is too great, unless he dies, he plays with his life, only in this way can he die himself.

"Tell me what you think!" Li Yuanji did not reveal his thoughts, but continued to ask.

"No!" Li Chengguang responded, he didn't need to think too much at all, he didn't need to understand the outside world excessively, the current situation of Datang had been deeply engraved in his mind, and continued: "The resources currently at the disposal of Datang are enough for Datang to develop for at least twenty years, and during this time, Datang needs to do a lot of things, such as the railway that his father has planned before, such as the cement road construction that has not yet been completed."

These are all problems that need to be done at the moment, and they need to be put in the first place to solve, and then there are various industries, although Datang's industry is already very strong, but it is far from reaching the limit of Datang.

And after the promotion of the birth policy, there has been a significant increase in the newborn population in the past two years, and this increase will be more and more in the future, according to the current actual situation, the current industrial capacity, even can not meet the needs of the local, eager to open up the land outside the territory, although there are benefits, but it is no different from the local.

Craftsmen have a mantra, striking iron also needs its own hardness, Datang is now to treat itself as this piece of iron, through continuous smelting, to improve its own hardness, and train itself into a real piece of steel, Erchen thinks, when the price of industrial products on the market in Datang doubles, the imperial court can start to consider things outside Xinjiang, when it drops twice, the court can not hesitate to solve things outside Xinjiang.

But before that, the outside of the territory can not be ignored, the son feels that the emperor can send envoys to visit the countries along the way, trade with them, and transport a large number of resources along the way to the mainland, so as to save the consumption of local resources, after all, these resources are used a little less, since there is this opportunity now, and there is also this ability, how can you not think about future generations?

Of course, if possible, the imperial court can secretly buy some assets, so that it can continue to support the local ...... at almost zero cost."

Hearing this suggestion, Li Yuanji smiled and smiled unabashedly.

Sure enough, it was his own son, and his thoughts were exactly the same as his own.

To sum up, it is a sentence, first develop yourself, vigorously develop domestic transportation, industry, when there is overcapacity, it is time to open the market outside Xinjiang, the colony has always been a dumping ground for all kinds of commodities, the price is completely set by itself, and the various resources of the colony are also shipped back at the price of cabbage.

This back and forth, the profits in the middle can be big, Britain, that small land, it took two hundred years to make itself quickly become the world leader, although it started early, but it really took off after the first industrial revolution.

And now Datang has completed the first industrial revolution, so the innate conditions of Datang are stronger than those of Britain in history.

The entire Southeast Asian region, plus North and South America, half the world's area, as long as the Tang Dynasty completes the plan, in just one or two decades, it can complete the surpassing of the historical Britain.

Britain's failure is that the population is too small, but Datang does not have this problem, not to mention that there is now a population of nearly 50 million, after the implementation of the birth policy, the population of Datang will only increase, within ten years, there may even be a terrifying number of more than 5 million new people per year, what is this concept?

When this generation grows up, Datang will have enough capital to stand out from the crowd.

The time is approaching the end of the year, Li Chengguang is about to usher in his fourteenth birthday, growing up day by day, Li Yuanji is also getting happier and happier, although his age is also increasing, and now he is also a person who is running around, but Li Yuanji has no sense of loss at all.

"The crown prince is responsible for this matter! All of you should fully cooperate! Li Yuanji commanded with a smile.

The speaker has the intention, and so does the listener.

From beginning to end of this matter, Li Yuanji never expressed his opinion, but only asked Li Chengguang's opinion, and then made this decision, not even some changes, or suggestions.

Such a big matter was so easily handed over to Li Chengguang to be in charge?

In other words, Li Yuanji's order is actually missing four words, the crown prince is in charge of the country.

Li Chengguang was stunned, and the ministers were also stunned, and they had to be stunned, although the prince had already shown his maturity, but to do these things now, the ministers still felt that it was a little too early.

Look at the prince, and then look at the rabbit cubs in their own house, the ministers suddenly have an urge to go home and beat people one by one.

The order has been issued, Li Chengguang is not even qualified to refuse, as a prince, sooner or later he will have to go through this step, and the prince who has not experienced the step of the prince supervising the country is not a complete prince at all.

And only after experiencing this experience can a prince really grow.

And this is also a huge test for the crown prince, if he does it well, it is equivalent to showing his ability to the people of the whole country, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, which will be of great help to his future accession to the throne.

After all, no one hopes that the future emperor will be a faint monarch who doesn't understand anything, and for the current Li Chengguang, this surprise seems to have come a little early.

Although he didn't say that the crown prince was in charge of the country, it was actually almost there, and this was an opportunity for Li Yuanji to give Li Chengguang an experience.

Li Chengguang did not dare to waste this rare and precious opportunity.

So, after the meeting ended, Li Chengguang locked himself in the study.

Looking at the materials brought by the fleet over and over again, it recorded the situation of each country along the way, although it was not particularly detailed, but this was all they had explored.

It not only contains the power situation of each country, but also contains resources, as well as the general population situation, which is very helpful for Li Chengguang to make the next plan.

It took three days for Li Chengguang to thoroughly study the information, which included more than 10 countries, and another five days for Li Chengguang to draw up a preliminary plan, and then spent another 10 days to make detailed changes to the plan in light of the information.

Then, Li Chengguang personally traveled to all the ministries of the imperial court and brought this plan to discuss with the ministers, hoping to find out the problems.

The ministers really found some problems, but they were not fatal problems, and the most gratifying thing for the ministers was that in terms of details, Li Chengguang's thinking was the same as Li Yuanji.

For example, copper ore, oil palm, rubber and other strategic necessities, the price from there is naturally as low as possible, and the people in power will have a bottom line number in their hearts, but Li Chengguang did not mention this at all, but completely handed over this power to the envoys to solve.

Although Li Chengguang has already known enough, after all, he has not been to the local area, and he does not know the real situation there, and the information on paper does not represent everything.

In other words, Li Chengguang inherited Li Yuanji's fine tradition of only managing the general direction, which gave the envoys more room to operate.

A month later, this plan was submitted to Li Yuanji's desk, and Li Yuanji carefully read the plan, in fact, Li Yuanji already knew about this plan.

Li Chengguang came to report, and the minister also came to report, and Li Yuanji knew exactly where it was whose idea.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a Yun character appeared under the plan, and then the jade seal.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanji threw a new problem back to Li Chengguang, and the choice of the envoy was decided by Li Chengguang.

Li Chengguang selected two envoys, one to go south along Annan, and the other to go south along the stream, and the fleet was also divided into two, which could save half of the time.

Of course, considering that there is a need to negotiate and trade, even if it is divided into two fleets, the voyage time may not be shorter than the first time.

On the other hand, Li Yuanji issued four orders in a row to the Ministry of Industry.

The middle line of the north-south railway to speed up the construction, and strive to complete the construction before the end of next year, in fact, the construction is almost now, because it is a sectional construction, before because of manpower reasons caused by the distance that each team needs to be responsible for a little far, but with the newcomers on the top, they already have the ability to speed up.

Haicheng shipyard to expand the scale, at the same time to split the personnel, the personnel has long been divided into two parts, part of the original personnel, part of the shipwright from the south, they study here, and wait until the Guangzhou shipyard is built, they want to go back there, now this part of the people have learned almost, warships can not be built with such a high degree of difficulty, but transport ships such as two types of ships, they can already be built alone, the drawings and processes are ready-made, and there is a master to teach by hand, this is not difficult.

The personnel split is also to prepare for increasing production capacity, so that people can practice their hands in advance, so as not to be overwhelmed when they get it.

The Guangzhou shipyard should also speed up and increase the construction of three docks, so that by the time of completion, ten transport ships could be built at the same time.

At the same time of expanding Chang'an Machinery Factory and Luozhou Machinery Factory, a new machinery factory was built in Zhengzhou, with an annual output of 50,000 trucks.
