The second year of Yuan Heng.

The main things in Datang are two things.

The first is to operate the Western Regions and develop the granary of the Western Regions, so as to lay the foundation for the actual control of the Western Regions in the future.

The second is to build a railway from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Li Chengqian was deeply aware of the convenience of this railway when he went to Liaodong to inspect it.

Let's just say that!

If the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang can be repaired.

Originally, it would take more than ten or twenty days for normal people to reach from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then it may only take less than a day or two.

This efficiency is directly increased by a factor of ten, and if the number of goods is counted, the efficiency is increased by more than a factor of 100.

To this end......

This railway must be opened little by little!

Not to mention that it will all be repaired in a short period of time, at least ......

If you build 50 kilometers this year, you will definitely need it.

And apart from these two.

If you have to say, what else is important to Datang.

It is probably to further consolidate Tibet.

It can only be said that I also absorbed the experience of Liaodong.

For the local aristocracy, it is necessary to carry out migration, move them to the Central Plains as much as possible, and then implement a policy of light punishment and meager endowment for the local people.

Other than that......

Then they sent people to the city of Raksha, and let them teach them Chinese characters.

As for who to send.

This question.

To be honest, it's a bit difficult, it's mainly based on the principle of voluntariness, if no one signs up, then Li Chengqian can only be named.

And then......

The second sons of Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang, Pei Yanxiu and Liu Jun fell into bad luck.

No way.

If there is really no one, Li Chengqian can only choose from the heirs of the ministers he trusts.

It can be seen that when they are separated, what kind of picture is reluctant.

That's no less than going to make peace.

But it should be said or not, after arriving in the city of Logos, it is also certain that he will be in power.

It's this life, it's still a lot worse.

While Datang is steadily advancing its own national policy.

Liaodong here.

At this time, Liao has also become a hegemon in the Northeast.

For example, the tribes of Khitan, Xi, and Yan Ya have all been attached to the Liao State at this time.

Other than that......

The number of newborns in Liao is calculated according to the maximum number of births in a woman's lifetime, and then two of them may die.

By this year, the population of Liao had increased by at least seven or eight times compared to the beginning.

It should have been tripled.

But in the case of one concubine, or even two, there are naturally more of them.

Therefore, the population of the Han nationality in Liaoguo has made a very obvious qualitative leap compared with the beginning.

But it's been a long time, and it's not a good thing to be honest.

Therefore......

Recently, Li Zhi is also planning to take the country with a knife.

In the "Twenty-Year Development Plan of the Liao State" written by Li Chong, there is such a sentence mentioned that there is a silver mine in the Wa Kingdom, how to say this silver mine, it can only be said that it is very big, if it is used for mining, it is estimated that it can produce hundreds of thousands of catties of silver every year.

Although, in the Tang Dynasty, this silver was not used as currency.

But......

For example, silver utensils, such as wine jugs and wine glasses, should still be very popular.

However, in the planning, Li Chong also wrote that only when you are full and have nothing to do, do it.

After all......

The money is dug up, and it does not fill the stomach.

Other than that......

Over the years, in fact, the Wa State has frequently sent envoys to see Li Zhi, in order to probe Li Zhi's tone and see if he can surrender himself, and then the Liao State will let them go.

Li Zhi also released the news to them in advance, after all, his Liao country is a poor place, and there are still so many people to support, unless the other party can give enough benefits, otherwise, everything is not to be discussed.

And speaking of which......

At the beginning, you plagued the accounts of the people of my Liao country, and I haven't even settled it with you.

The envoys of the Wa Kingdom said in their hearts, when did they plague the people of the Liao State?

Wasn't it still called Silla at that time?

However......

Li Zhi didn't care about him so much.

Unless the Wa Kingdom can pay them a tribute of gold and silver every year, no less than how many catties, as well as beautiful women, no less than how many people, otherwise, when the time comes, they will directly attack the other party's Asuka Palace.

The envoys of the Wa Kingdom could only go back and bring Li Zhi's words to the other emperor.

At the beginning, it was 100,000 catties, 50,000 gold and silver, and it can only be said that these 100,000 catties are cut down by their emperor, and they can't mine so much.

And then the words of the beauties, three thousand people a year.

Let's be honest.

Is His Majesty of this Liao State a stallion, and he has enjoyed so many beauties?

In fact......

The other side probably has no sincerity to negotiate at all!

As the negotiations deepened, this year, as the navy was also trained, Li Zhi finally made up his mind.

From this year onwards, they began to attack the Wa Kingdom.

But there is one thing to say.

In this sea-crossing operation, the Liao State really has no experience.

If the boat capsizes, it will be dangerous.

And......

After enjoying so many years of peace, whether the armies of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla can still fight is another matter.

Anyway, though.

This battle still has to be fought!

As long as the gunpowder is well prepared, and one or two thousand elite soldiers are recruited from Datang, this battle should not be difficult to fight.

Looking for a season when it is not easy to go to sea, the mighty army of 100,000 marched towards the island of Japan.

Spring, March.

10,000 ships at once.

In less than a few days, the army of the Liao State appeared on the Japanese island.

The Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was horrified by the Emperor of the Sea and the ministers of the country.

How could even the sturdy stone walls built along the beach fail to stop the Liao army?

Soon, it was convenient to remobilize all the troops in the country and march to the place where the Liao army landed to defend it.

No doubt.

The Japanese people are indeed fierce.

It's just that......

At first, they had too little knowledge to know the power of the firearm.

When they, like Li Youran, were assembling the corps and preparing to fight in groups.

It was doomed, and they were bound to be a fiasco.

Really!

As soon as the cannon sounded, the army on the side of the Japanese suffered heavy losses in the first and second battles alone.

And directly beat them so that they couldn't find the north.

Li Youran also took advantage of the victory to pursue.

It wasn't until later that the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom finally understood the sharpness of firearms, and they learned a little wiser.

Li Youran's side, after every city he killed, also let the soldiers plunder to their heart's content.

Especially for soldiers such as Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.

Because if they don't, it will be difficult to arouse their will to fight.

As for whether military discipline will corrupt these......

Let's just say, first of all, you have to be able to survive the battlefield.
