Ten years later.

"Ayah, doesn't that mean...... This Yao Shunyu's Zen concession is very likely to be fake? ”

An eleven-year-old, half-grown boy sat in Li Chong's arms and asked Li Chongdao.

Li Chong also replied: "Then it depends on whether you believe in the words of Confucius or in human nature." ”

"Is human nature really that bad?"

Li Chong: "There is no shortage of good human nature. It's like, when some people see someone else falling into the water, they will really go out of their way to save them. Even...... It is to spare his own life. ”

"Could that also exist, is this Zen really possible?"

Li Chong: "Then are you willing to give up your crown prince position to your other brothers and sisters?" ”

"This ......"

Li Chong: "Just tell the truth. ”

"Erchen doesn't want to."

Li Chong: "I don't want to, and it's not something that requires inferiority. If it were you and me, I probably wouldn't want to. ”

"Really?"

Li Chong: "Of course it's true! Aya is telling you this, in fact, I want you to understand that human nature is a very complex thing, and there are bad things and good ones. And what are we going to do? It is to understand human nature, and then, to better help us, to live, to live, and even to govern the country. ”

"Erchen understands."

Li Chong: "What do you want to do with the Tang Dynasty in the future?" ”

"Erchen wants every family to be able to eat enough."

Li Chong: "What you said is as if your father and I didn't feed the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Erchen wants to say that even the people of the Tang Dynasty who live in the ravines and ravines can eat enough."

Li Chong: "It's a very difficult thing, after all...... Just like Zen Rang, few people are willing to give up their prosperity and wealth in the big city, and then go to govern the ravines, and are willing to take the people of the ravines and valleys to live a good life together. ”

"Then Aye, what should I do?"

Li Chong: "Tell me what you think first." ”

"You can give more monthly salaries to the officials who go there to govern."

Li Chong: "How much more do you give?" ”

"This ......"

Li Chong: "You have to understand that many people may be officials, and they want more than just a monthly salary. More of it, I want to be like power, I want to be close to His Majesty. So what about you? ”

"That'...... We can get some people who are willing to go. ”

Li Chong: "Even if you can find some people who are willing to go, you give them enough treatment, so ...... Could it be that the country's tax revenue is what you waste so casually? ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Chong: "It means that when you want to bring food and clothing to the people in the ravine, you can't help but consider whether the people in the ravine, or whether they can bring benefits to Datang." ”

"What if that's a bottomless pit? Don't...... Are you going to keep throwing money into it like this? ”

"That'...... What to do? ”

Li Chong: "Then you have to calculate an economic account by yourself." Or...... It's about whether you can bear it, and how many days you can bear it. ”

……

For the crown prince Li Yuan, although he is only eleven years old now.

But...... The ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but they often praise this prince who is only eleven years old.

said that he was kind-hearted, and said that he would definitely be a bright gentleman in the future.

All I can say is......

They all praised the wrong person, and what they should really praise is His Majesty Li Chong.

Because if it weren't for His Majesty Li Chong, who instilled in him all kinds of ideas of governing the country day after day, year after year, Li Yuan would not have become the person they said he was.

this year.

Li Chong also reached the age of thirty before he knew it.

Ten years.

Datang has changed a lot of things.

For example......

Kerosene lamps have entered thousands of households at this time.

Another example......

Automobiles, in addition to trucks carrying goods, such as long-distance buses, have also been slowly developed.

After all, it's almost all over the country.

The number of these cars, from three digits a decade ago, is now ......

Even inland, that is, in cities like Luoyang, cars can be seen.

Be reasonable!

At this time, the prosperity of the east and southeast coasts, even Li Chong, who lives in Luoyang, can't help but be a little envious.

There's no way around it.

The oil is transported directly to the coastal ports and then processed locally.

In order to transport the processed finished products to Luoyang, it will have to increase a lot of transportation costs.

Therefore......

Maybe gasoline, which is very cheap on the coast, will have to at least double the price in Luoyang.

As a result, in the last decade, the economy has been extremely 'unbalanced'.

In the past......

In general, the economy of the national capital is stronger than that of other places.

Even if it is the legendary Yang Yiyi Er, it was also in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, after Luoyang was disabled.

But now what!

That's not the case.

It may be that the people along the coast have been using kerosene lamps for several years, and then, the people of Luoyang have only begun to come into contact with them a few years later.

That......

Someone even proposed to Li Chong, do they want to move the capital?

Of course!

It is impossible to move the capital.

moved to the coast, and when the war started, wouldn't it be the first to bear the brunt?

But......

This growing gap has indeed made many people anxious.

After all......

Who doesn't want to live a better and more convenient life.

According to Heshen and the adult, there are two mouths of official characters, and you have to feed the upper mouth first, and then you can feed the lower mouth.

For this!

It is impossible to move the capital.

Li Chong......

It can only be in disregard of the laws of the economy, through the policy, that at least half of the oil transported back from Dashi must be used in Luoyang.

It's kind of like how to put it.

Like the Ming and Qing dynasties.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, weren't all the capitals in Beijing?

And then......

In order to feed Beijing, the grain from the south of the Yangtze River was transported to Beijing, and most of the grain was consumed on land.

Of course!

It's not that Li Chong really didn't think about moving the capital at all.

Even......

There are several alternatives.

First, of course, it is Beijing.

Second, Nanjing.

Third, Jinan.

These three places almost represent the north, the south, and the middle.

Beijing, let's be honest!

If Liaodong is in their hands, then it can be considered, even if there will be sandstorms in Beijing in the future.

Nanjing, which is said to be the imperial dynasty with its capital at Nanjing, was relatively short-lived.

Jinan, but offshore, the problem is that there is no danger to defend.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in just a few months, dozens of cities were easily broken by others, which is not a good place in Jinan, Shandong.

But......

Compared to Beijing and Nanjing.

On the contrary, Li Chong felt that on the premise of not considering national defense and security, Jinan might be the best capital.

Moreover......

It's really a great place to live.

Future......

Datang is destined to develop into a sea power country.

Only by developing on the mainland can you make a few bucks.

As a sea power country, the capital of the country is in Luoyang......

This......

Probably, the biggest advantage of continuing to keep Luoyang as the capital is that it is related to millions of workers.
