(2nd Update)

Huang Guangshi's improvement of the weaving process, Li Chongmei and Zhao Pu's prototype of the pressure cooker, these new achievements in technology do not exist in isolation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince the establishment of the academy, Li Congjing has not seen the academy come up with many strange things, and it is a big surprise that ten novel ideas can be practical. People like Qi Tongwen, Li Gu, Huang Guangshi, and Li Chongmei, I don't know how many there are in that small college.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. You like to read, but you can't stop others from playing with fire, you like big breasts, but you can't stop others from liking round hips.

And Li Congjing's guiding ideology for the construction of the academy has determined that this is a completely different existence from Tai Academy, and it is destined that there will be many "strange" people and things in it.

The development of all industries and the all-round progress of society require such a comprehensive college.

Li Congjing lavishly praised Huang Guangshi, Li Chongmei, Zhao Pu and others, and ordered the relevant officials of the six ministries to set up a special team to implement their achievements. Of course, Li Congjing did not forget to let these people make persistent efforts and continue to study, such as Li Chongmei and Zhao Pu, Li Congjing hopes that they will make a real pressure cooker as soon as possible.

As for how much this move will promote the development of disciplines such as physics and engineering, it is not something that Li Congjing can foresee at the moment.

Luoyang University as the academic center of the Tang Dynasty, where every wind and rain will have a great impact on the whole world, in Luoyang College set off a wave of "practical use" of the revolutionary frenzy, how many people in the world's states and counties will compete to follow suit, I am afraid that it is difficult to explain.

Datang's "scientific and technological revolution" has slowly kicked off, and it involves all walks of life and all aspects.

What Li Congjing needs to do is to reward practical achievements and include them in the scope of official examinations, in a word: active guidance.

All kinds of achievements need to be brought out by talents.

In the world of Datang, there is no shortage of talents.

The emergence of talents requires a corresponding social heritage. And the Tang Dynasty, which has an advanced Han and Tang civilization, does not lack this kind of heritage. On the contrary, Datang, which has thousands of years of advanced civilization accumulation, has long been looking forward to this "knowledge explosion".

It is a pity that the rulers of the original history did not have this consciousness at all, they ignored the appeal of knowledge itself, they suppressed the Han and Tang civilizations, squeezed the advanced civilization into the soil and buried it, and did not build a tomb for it. They wasted the advanced Han and Tang civilizations that had been ruined for thousands of years, and in the end they could only let the Han and Tang civilizations be destroyed in one war after another, gradually ignored and even forgotten, and forever become a dust in history, unable to even sigh.

Thousands of years later, people can only grope a little bit in the loess, relying on a few words and negligible remnants to imagine the splendid splendor of this civilization at that time.

Sadly, people who have lost the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties and have been imprisoned by their dull thoughts for thousands of years are cautious and do not dare to exert a little bit of force even when imagining this civilization, lest they think too much and think too well and make people laugh.

- They even laughed at themselves.

If there is a remnant soul of the Han and Tang civilizations floating in the air, I really don't know how to feel when I see this scene.

Li Congjing wants to give the Han and Tang civilizations a new life, let it shine brightly all over the world, and let its eyes penetrate the long river of history.

He wants to tell the world that this world should belong to us Tang people.

......

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the second year of Dingding.

In the second year of Li Congjing's ascension to the throne, the first good news was that the guards and pro-army advanced by land and water, and successfully pacified Annan in the winter of last year. In order to consolidate his rule in Annam, Li Congjing sent a large number of capable officials and scholars to Luocheng, on the one hand, to improve the local people's livelihood, and on the other hand, to vigorously promote education.

The former is to keep the people of Annam well fed and clothed, and lose the motivation to be robbers to go north to grab things, while the latter is to instill in them the idea of loyalty to the king and serving the country from the spiritual point of view, so that the barbarians can shed their wildness and be kingized.

In addition, Li Congjing ordered Lingnan Province to build and widen the road from Yongzhou to Luocheng, making it more convenient for Wang Shi to go south, and at the same time establishing a naval port on the coast and sending Tang Army naval divisions to station, increasing the ability of Guangzhou's troops to quickly attack Luocheng, and striving to militarily eliminate the possibility of Annan falling into chaos again.

Of course, many areas of Annan have harsh climates, complex terrain, and serious regional isolation, so in order to avoid the disaster of the barbarians living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, Li Congjing sent students of the college to Annan, choosing places with suitable climate and geography, reclaiming large areas of wasteland, and concentrating on repairing farmland. At the same time, cities were built, and mountain people were moved out of the mountains and forests to settle in flat cities, where farmland was concentrated, increasing the control of officials over the local area and speeding up local development.

Special preferential treatment is also given in taxation and forced labor.

As for the rice and fruits that are abundant in the area due to climatic reasons, Li Congjing asked the government to help develop business, so that these products can be transported north to the south of the Yangtze River or even to the north of the Yangtze River, increasing the income of the people in the area and improving their lives.

All these things, no matter how big or small, Li Congjing and his ministers drafted a charter one by one, striving to completely make Annan no longer war-free, rather than a simple military occupation. In this way, the imperial court would invest a lot of money in Annam in the early stage - for example, under the premise of light taxation, Annam officials had to pay wages to workers if they wanted to repair roads and cities - but from the overall situation, this was undoubtedly beneficial to the long-term peace and stability of Annam.

Of course, Li Congjing did not forget to let the officials of Annam stimulate the enthusiasm of the people of Annam, such as those who voluntarily participated in the reclamation of famine, the repair of water conservancy and other things, and could enjoy more preferential treatment in taxes and forced labor for many years.

After the measures were agreed, the Tang Dynasty court had fully controlled Annam politically, militarily, and economically.

In the spring of the second year of Dingding, Li Congjing canonized Li Chongzheng as the crown prince and made him enter the East Palace. Shortly thereafter, on the occasion of the opening of Luoyang College, Li Congjing let Li Chongzheng, who was already ten years old, enter the academy. So far, the status of Luoyang College has been completely consolidated.

At the turn of spring and summer, Li Congjing received a report from Guo Weijun, and Nanzhao was pacified.

With Annan's "lessons from the past", the imperial court was already familiar with how to establish a stable rule in Nanzhao, and it didn't take long for the various regulations to be determined, and the manpower and material resources were quickly arranged in place, and a steady stream of people went to Nanzhao.

It is worth mentioning that Annam is a part of Lingnan Province, and when the imperial court was carrying out the construction of Annam, officials from Lingnan Province went to visit a lot to strengthen their understanding of Annam and facilitate the handling of various affairs of Annam in the future.

During the construction of Nanzhao, Xichuan also went to many officials, which was to speed up mutual understanding and integration in the region. Xichuan as a place where humanities gather, Nanzhao, or Dali Province, will be the second Xichuan in the future. All these are also conducive to dissolving the estrangement between Xichuan and Dali that had attacked each other for many years, and specifically for the time being, it is conducive to trade and exchanges between the two places.

At the same time, Li Congjing ordered Guo Wei to "dig mountains and open roads" and use the Lancang River (Mekong) as a basis to assess the possibility of military expansion to the south.

The reason why the Southwest Peninsula is called the Southwest Peninsula is because it is in the southwest of China, and in that case, why can't Li Congjing seek to make it simply become the Southwest Peninsula of China?

At present, Datang has sat on Annam and Nanzhao, you know, Annam is the northern part of Vietnam in later generations, and the southern territory of Nanzhao has penetrated into Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. All Datang has to do is take one more step forward.

If you have the Southwest Peninsula, you can have the Strait of Malacca, the throat of the East. Once the Strait of Malacca is in the hands of Datang, it will be easy for Datang to control the South China Sea in the future, or to rule the islands and territories south of Malacca.

More importantly, the Tang fleet will not be sluggish when it goes west out of the Indian Ocean. With such a choke point, the maritime lifeline that connects the two worlds of the East and the West is completely in the hands of Datang. Whether it is the Korean Peninsula in the East, Dongying, or the Indian Peninsula, they will all be under the deterrence of Datang Tianwei.

The ocean is the protagonist in the great geographical discoveries; The strait is the protagonist of the ocean.

Because it controls the sea lanes.

After everything is settled, it is the turn of summer and autumn.

Li Congjing decided to send Mo Li to Guangzhou.

Needless to say, the troops returning to Luoyang are still the main force of the Praetorian Guard, and some of the troops who stayed in Annan and Nanzhao must undertake the mission of rebuilding the local armies of Annan and Nanzhao, just like building the local army of Liangchuan. The difference is that today's Annan and Nanzhao local armies are likely to be the Tang Expeditionary Force in the future. ”

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and it is not possible to go out every time, the royal division is drawn from Luoyang, Gyeonggi, and the imperial court established the forbidden army, not to erase the existence of the border army, but to seek a balance between the border army and the forbidden army. In the future, if we use troops to the southwest, we will have to make great efforts from Annan and Nanzhao. This is also one of the reasons why, after Wang Shi occupied Annam and Nanzhao, I spared no expense to improve people's livelihood, promote education, and build roads in the two places. ”

In the Guangxian Palace, Li Congjing and Mo Li were talking.

Speaking of this, Li Congjing pushed Mo Li a cup of tea and continued: "Annan and Nanzhao have stabilized, not to mention Lingnan, everything has been regularized. Wang Shi has conquered the world for many years, and the soldiers have attacked the city and plundered the land in front, and the officials have followed closely to take over the civil affairs, and everything has been familiar with everything, which is why Lingnan has stabilized so quickly. ”

"After Lingnan, Annan, and Nanzhao are stabilized, it will be time for my Tang fleet to sail overseas. Although there is no shortage of talents, Mo Ge'er is the only one who can make me feel at ease to entrust this matter. After the pacification of Lingnan, the sailors were building seaports and conducting naval training, and now everything is in order. This time, Mo Geer went south, with a Tang ship in one hand and a merchant cargo ship in the other, sailing the sea and going thousands of miles west, it should not be a problem. ”

"The Tang Dynasty wants to recover Hexi and the Western Regions, and it wants to use troops in the southwest, and there is little money and food. Although the north and south of the river are vast, and the imperial court pays huge taxes every year, the construction of an Annan and Nanzhao will make the treasury bleed, not to mention the Hexi and Western Regions where the laborers went on an expedition? This time, Mo Geer went out of the mountain to find wealth for Datang. ”

"The fleet is on a long voyage, and the first stage is the reconstruction of sea routes. The passage left by the Silk Road, the fleet should regain control, and with the help of Fujian and Lingnan maritime merchants, this matter should not be difficult. At the same time as rebuilding the sea routes, it is necessary to let the Military Intelligence Department go deep into various places to discover and evaluate the wealth of various places, and with my planning over the years, there are many people in the Military Intelligence Department who are fluent in foreign languages, and this is not difficult. ”

"The second stage is trade. Over the years, Datang's commerce has flourished, and I can make as many silk, porcelain and other things as I want, trade with various places, and make several times the profit. If some places are relatively closed and their owners do not want to trade, the sailors and soldiers in the hands of Mo Ge'er also know what to do. Panyu and Annan fought two battles in succession, and the naval division already had a lot of experience in landing operations. ”

After speaking, Li Congjing took a sip of tea, and his mouth was fragrant.

Mo Li sighed: "Whether it is to confer the rank of meritorious businessman or let the sailor learn to land and fight, His Majesty has long been prepared for many matters, and this time he left the south and went west, although everything is complicated, but if he can't even do this little thing well, he will have no shame to come back to meet His Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Li Congjing suddenly put down the tea bowl, looked at Mo Li, his face was solemn, and he said undoubtedly: "The great danger in the world is not better than the one who opens the world." Mo Ge'er is here, no matter whether it is successful or not, there is one requirement that you must do: that is, give me a complete return! ”

Mo Li got up and left his seat, bowed his hand and said, "The minister respectfully obeys the edict." ”

When Mo Li left Luoyang, Li Congjing led his ministers out of the city to see him off.

The ancient road is long pavilion, the team has gone away, and Li Congjing is still looking at it from afar.

It's another year, and the autumn wind is coming.

Looking at the figure of the white-robed folding fan gradually moving away, Li Congjing muttered softly, words that only he could hear.

"Don't leave it, don't leave you."
