Li Er came this time, and he had to look at the Academy of Sciences as a bottom line.

By the way, I am also familiar with the craftsman, otherwise, if I follow this kid in the future, I guess there will be no His Majesty in my eyes.

In order to buy people's hearts, Li Er also deliberately gave all the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences very rich rewards.

The craftsmen were all extremely grateful.

Emperor's mental technique, to be honest, Li Er is not without it.

It's just that why it is shown in him is not contrived at all.

In fact......

Li Chong knows that none of these feudal emperors are good things.

But Li Er is already the best of this pile of bad things.

So what can he do?

And......

Li Chong doesn't think he's a good thing.

Because there will be no four concubines for good things.

He and Li Er, don't say anything about anyone.

"It can only be said that no one is perfect!"

Watching Li Er and the princess's car drive back, Li Chong put his hands behind his back and suddenly let out such a sigh.

When the craftsmen on the side heard this, their faces were also full of doubts.

Asked:

"What did you just say, Dean?"

"It's nothing, it's just a moment, and suddenly a little emotional."

Everyone looked at each other.

But the dean hasn't been like this for a day or two, and everyone is used to it.

Just take advantage of the fact that there is still a little time before the next value, and finish the work that has not been completed before.

To talk about the enthusiasm of the work, the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences are still very high.

After all......

Doing these studies is their interest in itself.

Soon......

Everyone dispersed, and Li Chong looked at the vanized carriage, and also felt that he was a little too sentimental sometimes.

Of course!

Li Zhong definitely didn't mean Li Er.

He and Li Er are not sentimental, they are just taking what they need, he refers to Li Li.

Soon, however, he seemed to have a clear answer.

……

"Teacher!"

"Huh?"

East Palace.

"Father said that he may have to go outside for a while next, so let you assist me in supervising the country."

"Oh."

"Teacher, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about women."

“……”

But Li Chong soon had no time to think about women.

Because......

The people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs soon brought all the information about the population and the land.

From the first year of Wude, until the third year of Zhenguan.

But to be honest, the data of the past ten years may not be very informative, because the impact of wars and natural disasters is too great.

But give it a try.

Anyway......

The method is certainly not wrong, the fault is only the data.

Then, Li Chong began to work.

As for the prison state......

Let's be honest.

It's not difficult at all.

Because supervising the country does not mean that Li Chengqian has to do everything, but he does encounter some unexpected problems, so he needs Li Chengqian to come forward.

For example......

this day.

Honglu Temple sent people to say that there was a country called Wa Guo on the eastern sea that sent an envoy to meet His Majesty.

Due to the pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese characters of the Wa Kingdom are a little different from those of later generations, so at first, Li Chong did not raise his head, and continued to calculate the data and write his own papers.

But suddenly he thought of what the other party said about the eastern sea, so he immediately put down his pen and asked, "Which one?" ”

The official of Honglu Temple was stunned for a moment, and then presented the other party's national letter.

Li Chong looked at it, isn't this little Japan?

However, they have not yet changed to the official name of the country.

Seeing his teacher's frowns, it is obvious that this matter is not simple.

Li Chengqian said, "What does the teacher think is the problem?" ”

Li replied: "This country is not a good person, I really want to be a group of special people now." ”

Then he introduced to Li Chengqian: "This Japanese country, on the sea northeast of the Tang Dynasty, is a small country hanging alone on the sea, the size of the country, almost ...... So big. ”

Li Chong drew a map for Li Chengqian with his bare hands.

Then he continued:

"The people of his country look like dwarfs, and there are not many tall people. Because there are no such perfect etiquette and laws in China as our Tang Dynasty, therefore, since the Sui Dynasty, they have sent envoys more than once to learn from the Central Plains. ”

"This time, it should be the first time you want to establish a relationship with Datang?"

Li asked the officials of Honglu Temple.

The official of Honglu Temple, Honglu Temple Qing also replied: "This is indeed the first time!" ”

Li Chong said: "I know." I have tasted the sweetness, and now I want to send someone to learn it. ”

However, Li Chong's words made Li Chengqian and the ancients like Honglu Siqing very incomprehensible.

What does it mean to have tasted the sweetness?

The etiquette, customs and culture of my Central Plains have been transmitted to the land of barbarians, isn't this a good thing, even if it is put in that dynasty, this is a very worthy of praise.

Therefore, Li Chengqian said: "The teacher doesn't seem to like this small country very much? ”

Li replied: "It's not a matter of liking it or not, but it's a threat to Datang in the future." A small country like the Wa State is actually no different from the Turkic peoples on the steppe, and they are all afraid of power but not virtuous. If they really learn good things, they will go back and build their own court, and in the end, when they become stronger, they will inevitably attack us in turn. Then in the future, the southeast coast of Datang will have troubles. Therefore, letting them learn our good manners and customs is, in fact, giving the other party the opportunity to attack us. ”

Honglu Siqing seemed to have a different opinion at this time, and said: "I don't agree with the idea of the prince and the prince very much. ”

"You say."

"Shall we educate them and make them know that their manners are not good? When they understand etiquette, they naturally know what they can and can't do. So I thought that it was precisely because they understood the etiquette that they would not think anything about us. ”

Li Chong said: "You say that, in fact, it's not wrong. Indoctrination is indeed the best for barbarians. However, my concern is that what they are learning is more than just indoctrination. They can learn the latest and greatest weapons and armor production methods from Datang, learn the most advanced astronomy and farming knowledge, and even take away Datang's excellent grain seeds and take them back to cultivate to feed more people. ”

"Do you think they're really just here to learn etiquette?"

"They are here to learn what is good for them and to go back to strengthen the country and strengthen the army."

"And there are some differences between the Japanese and the Turks, even if the Turks want to learn, there is only grass and horses and sheep on their steppe, so it is useless to learn. The Wa Kingdom is different, they are similar to us. There is no shortage of land to grow food, nor is there a shortage of ores for crafting weapons. ”

Then the two fell silent.

Li Chengqian: "What does the teacher mean?" ”

Li Chong: "Hmm......"
