Five years later, in the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, in the autumn of 727 AD

After five years of governance, Dali took on a new look, and Li Shanli advocated the implementation of a new rule of law, emphasizing equality for all, abolishing the distinction between nobles and untouchables, formulating a constitution, and establishing a new law enforcement, judiciary, and legislative bodies. The development of maritime trade, the introduction of new varieties of fruits and vegetables, and a series of measures such as opening up business contacts with the Tang Dynasty made Dali gradually become a desirable country.

With a new business model, a richer agricultural structure, and a thriving maritime trade, of course, Li Shan also quietly started his drug business, but the sales direction was Central Asia and Europe.

Dali has entered a period of rapid development, and the national GDP has increased several times within five years. Seventy percent of the income comes from maritime trade, 20 percent comes from the sale of special fruits and vegetables, mining, and only 10 percent comes from grain income. This has completely overturned the ancient concept of agriculture-centric industry.

As the so-called warehouse is honest and knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when food and clothing are sufficient. Dali is gradually moving towards civilization, and four years ago, Li Shan had already laid the groundwork for Qing'er to establish an academy and recruit students to learn the scientific knowledge he had collated. Now, thousands of educated young intellectuals of the new generation will be appointed as imperial court instructors and sent to various places in Dali to take up the work of indoctrination.

The whole of Dali will comprehensively popularize scientific knowledge, learn Chinese, encourage invention and creation, and new agricultural and industrial products will emerge in an endless stream. Li Shan believes that within ten years, the whole of Dali will enter the Renaissance period. Li Shan knew that it was impossible to build any strong ships, guns, computers and mobile phones on his own.

These things are the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire human race, and what Li Shan can do is to open the door to people's wisdom, be their enlightened mentor, and guide them in the right direction.

And Li Shan's prestige in Dali has surpassed Qing'er, and even surpassed religious beliefs. It can be said that Li Shan led the commoners of Dali to turn over and become masters, just like the ****** and sun-like existence in the New China period.

Qing'er is still the national teacher, and Li Shan was elected by all the citizens of Dali to become the king of Dali.

Holding a new shotgun, Qing'er aimed at a bird that landed on the treetops, and with a single shot, the bird was shot down.

"This new shotgun is really easy to use, with a long range, great power, and easy to use."

Li Shandao: "Yes, these little guys you looked for before are all bright-minded, and this thing is indeed exquisitely invented and made, which is better than what I did back then." ”

As he spoke, Li Shan also took a shotgun and aimed it at the woods.

"Drive, drive"

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance alarmed the prey in the forest, and Li Shan's shotgun aimed but did not hit, and he regretted for a while.

"Your Majesty, Master Guoshi, Qinghua has come to report that Zheng Peng, the Great Sea Division, has arrived in Jiaozhou City with the fleet. This was brought by Lord Zheng Peng and handed over to His Majesty. The messenger presented a box to Li Shan.

Li Shan opened the box, it turned out to be a bright red pepper and golden corn, Li Shan was overjoyed, threw the shotgun to the entourage on the side, and said to Qing'er: "Great, Zheng Peng has finally found a new continent this time, I can cook authentic Sichuan food for you in the future, and I guarantee that you will have spicy tongues." You said that you had to ask me to make some three chapters of the covenant back then, and if I went out, I wouldn't have to make two trips in vain. ”

Qing'er said: "That's not good, didn't Zheng Peng almost be buried in the Mexican current last time?" We don't want to take this risk, even though you know everything, but natural and man-made disasters are too difficult to guard against. Okay, let's hurry up and see what Zheng Peng brought back this time? I don't know if the Kimberley diamond mine you mentioned has been found. ”

Li Shan smiled: "I haven't seen enough diamonds, gems and the like in the past few years?" I can't put it at home, and I've already asked people to study the cutting skills of diamonds, and although the uncut diamonds are also beautiful, they are still far from what they have added. ”

Qing'er looked at the diamond ring on her hand, touched it twice, and said with a smile: "Alas, if I had let you take this diamond ring earlier, I don't know how much Miss Jin's heart could steal." ”

Li Shandao: "What's the matter? I'm not a mess of flowers, and I'm content with a few of you. I don't care about anyone else. ”

Qing'er said, "Really? What are you going to do with the princess Gadot you brought back before? Don't you say that you don't have a heart, you have to take her with you everywhere, for fear that she will run away. ”

Li Shan scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I can't be blamed for this, it's not that I want to bring her back, but there is no way, we can't let her go, but if she is imprisoned, it will be too inhumane." ”

Qing'er said: "In my opinion, even if you let her go now, she won't leave, and people will rely on you for the rest of your life." Forget it, if you want me to say you'll take her. It's pitiful to think about her, and we sisters can't stand it. ”

Li Shan's eyebrows curled, and he asked tentatively, "Really?" ”

Qing'er immediately pointed at Li Shan and said, "I'll just say it, you must have planned it early in the morning, and you said that you didn't think about it?" You men, just eat in the bowl and look at the pot, you can't let you start so happily, otherwise you will have to mess with flowers and grass. ”

Li Shan smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, Zheng Peng must have arrived at the palace, let's go back quickly." As soon as she slapped the horse and ran out, Qing'er looked at Li Shan running away, and said with a smile: "In the past five years, you can be regarded as worthy of us, but this time I won't care." ”

Jiaozhou City is now the second palace of Dali, and Li Shan will work on both sides of Taihe City and Jiaozhou City.

Zheng Peng is now the Dali State of the Great Sea, equivalent to the current Minister of Maritime Trade, and he also entered the palace with excitement on his face, saw Li Shan, and said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Peng is fortunate to live up to his life this time, and finally found the American continent that His Majesty said, and brought back more than a dozen varieties of tobacco, peppers, corn, etc. In addition, there are countless gold, silver and jewels that have been earned through trade, and here is a detailed list, please take a look at them. ”

Li Shan took a cursory look at the fold and said with a smile: "You really found diamond mines and gold mines in Africa?" Great, the next step is to start the colonization project, you have been fortunate along the way, let's step back and rest. ”

Li Shan sat on the desk and carefully watched Zheng Peng's report this time, several years of hard work was finally not in vain, now Africa is being developed, and the route to the Americas has also been opened up.

Liu Ruyan said: "Xianggong, the new batch of court teachers has been selected, are you going to meet them?" ”

Li Shan nodded and said, "Of course I want to go, I heard that there are a few outstanding in this batch of colleges, I want to take a good look." Cultivate seriously, that is, the future Newton and Edison. (To be continued.) )
