In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the entire Liaodong, or the entire Northeast, has undergone other changes.

I don't know if I should say it well or badly.

In short, Da Zuorong, who went to Beijing to report on his work, felt that his previous behavior of wanting to enter Liaodong was quite special.

"How about it, rushing from the northeast to Chang'an, are you tired all the way?" In the study, Li Chengqian ordered someone to bring tea to Da Zuorong, and asked with a standardized smile.

There is no way, the habit has been formed, and it can't be changed, and receiving a large number of officials who come to Beijing every day to report on their work makes His Royal Highness the Prince's smiling face a little cramped, and it is a little difficult to get serious.

"Go back to Your Highness, tired but not tired, now the railway is about to be repaired to Shencheng, and the ministers are all coming by train all the way." Da Zuorong took the tea and said humbly.

"Well, this palace also knows about this, a good thing, this is a good thing, and you have contributed a lot to this!" Li Chengqian nodded, looked at Da Zuorong and said.

"Your Highness has praised it falsely, everything is what Da Zuorong should do." Da Zuorong smiled, and continued with tea: "At the beginning, the minister was ignorant, and he even thought that he could steal Liaodong, but now looking back on the past, I am ashamed!" ”

"Forget it, don't mention the old things, in life, who hasn't been impulsive a few times, as long as you do more things in the future than your brain, and consider the causes and consequences!"

"Yes, Your Honor!" Da Zuorong agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the first half of the year, he tossed a lot on his side of Liaodong, causing a lot of damage to Liaodong, and he was even mentally prepared to be beheaded when he went to Beijing this time.

But he didn't expect to pass the test so easily, which he never expected.

"Da Zuorong, tell me your views on the construction of the Northeast, what do you think is most lacking over there?" After the previous cliché was finished, Li Chengqian brought the topic back on track.

No matter how he said it, the prince was far away from the Northeast, and he had never been in the Northeast in his previous life, so he was not very familiar with the situation there, and many things were mostly imaginary elements for him.

Now that there is Da Zuorong, the 'landlord' in the Northeast, he naturally has to ask clearly, otherwise he will sit on it and pat his head and think about things, and once he makes a mistake, he will laugh and be generous.

"Your Highness, the minister does have some ideas, and if what he said is wrong, please ask His Highness for advice." Da Zuorong had some preparations before coming this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that the most important thing to develop in the Northeast should be tourism. ”

"Poof, travel?" Li Chengqian never thought that this guy in front of him would have such ideas, and his thinking would be so advanced, and he would think of tourism at this time?

However, Da Zuorong seemed to have thought about it for a long time, sorted out a thought and continued: "Your Highness, the current train has reached Shencheng, when the minister came, he saw a lot of rich businessmen from the Central Plains at the station, they were very curious about Liaodong and the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, and they all wanted to go over to see it. ”

But when they got there, they found that they didn't know where to go or what to see. Therefore, the minister thinks that we should make something in some special places, commemorative places that can be watched. ”

"For example, Da'an City, for example, the place where the bones of millions of fallen soldiers were buried, and some famous mountains and rivers, such as Changbai Mountain, we can try to develop it for the people who go to the Northeast to visit."

Li Chengqian had to admit that this guy in front of him was really too advanced in his thinking, and he actually thought of this problem in advance, originally Li Chengqian planned to live another ten or twenty years, and then engage in these things, after all, at that time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were also rich, and they all had spare money in their hands, and under the convenient means of transportation such as the train, traveling would become their main goal in leisure.

However, this Da Zuorong actually thought of this problem immediately because he saw some wealthy businessmen at the station, and I have to say that this product can be regarded as a standard talent.

However, after all, it is a little early to engage in tourism, and the investment and income are completely disproportionate, so it is better to use the money to do something serious than to invest it in those meaningless things.

So Li Chengqian just nodded noncommittally at Da Zuorong's idea, and then asked, "Then what happened to your mine there?" Is there any progress that has not been made? ”

"Mines are still under construction, two iron mines, a copper mine and a coal mine. Now it's just the beginning, and the production is not large while building and mining. Da Zuorong replied calmly.

"It's okay, sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, you are right to do this, remember to do a good job of safety, this palace doesn't want to hear the news of the dead people in the collapse every three or five minutes." Li Chengqian thought of some cases of mine collapse in later generations, and couldn't help but remind.

For some nobles or officials in the Tang Dynasty, human life is the least valuable, few people care, and it is also their normal habit to report good news and not bad news.

Every year, it is reported how much coal is mined and how much copper is mined, but how many people die are hidden.

This is something that Li Chengqian does not want to see, and in his current position, he can finally realize how important it is to seek truth from facts.

Those officials who report good news but not bad news may be out of the purpose of not wanting to bother the superiors, or they may be thinking about their own interests, but this is unfair to the people of Taitang, and it is also unfair to the future of Datang.

The reason why all the previous dynasties will fall is not because the people below report good news and not bad news, and the people above just like to listen to some pleasant things and hate some unfavorable news.

It is precisely because of this that the accumulated discontent among the people will brew and ferment little by little, and finally lead to the outbreak of rebellion.

Da Zuorong was actually a little unimpressed by Li Chengqian's advice in his heart.

In his view, those who live at the bottom of society serve the people at the top, and their life or death is not really important.

Of course, there are some limitations in history and insight here, but it is undeniable that his ideas are exactly what most people in Datang think.

And this majority refers to everyone except Li Chengqian.

Even Lao Li, who often talks about water energy carrying boats, actually doesn't really take all the poor people in the world to heart in his bones, and he is just shouting slogans with the intention of using them.
