The advent of paper money was inevitable.

For no other reason than convenience.

Is the timing really right?

This was Li Kuan's first confusion after coming to Datang.

He didn't know whether to agree or not.

But the newly appointed Tobe Shangshu clearly listed the advantages and disadvantages of paper money.

Including the benefits of the expansion of the bank, etc.

Basically, it can be said that the other party has investigated very clearly.

Li Kuan even suspected that the other party was a student of the Department of Finance.

"Agreed."

"What I can do now is to ask my own problems as much as possible and let them solve them, and I can't do it in advance like before."

After all, he is just a mortal, and the traverser is not a being who can do anything.

Datang's progress is getting faster and faster, and Li Kuan has also begun to study hard.

There are some things that he really can't do perfectly.

In addition, as the ancients came into contact with more and more things, they developed more and more new ways to play.

Putting down the matter of paper money, Li Kuan picked up the changes in the wilderness.

The line of intelligence there has never been broken.

Glancing at the development process of the Wild Land, especially the territory that Wu Mei had privately demarcated there, Li Kuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"It's true that the families of Central Asia and South Asia are not attacking the Arab Empire with all their might."

Li Kuan came to such a conclusion.

The development process of the various forces of the Tang Dynasty in the wilderness, that is, in Eastern Europe, was faster than expected.

The conquest of the Arab empires did not stop their development.

Especially.

"Each family has actually started to divide the internal seals, and it seems that in the future, the people will be able to say that my ancestors are nobles."

Li Kuan saw that the intelligence showed that various families also began to throw out the elite children of their own families, and let them go to those borderless lands to build their own kingdoms.

Regarding such a change, Li Kuan had to say, are you afraid that your ancestors will not be sacrificed, so you cast a wide net?

But that's fine, a lot of inheritance things can be passed on.

The division of the family is not only to give money to people, but also to pass on technology.

Many families have their own cultural heritage.

Since the development of the wild land, that is, Eastern Europe, is fast, Li Kuan has to speed up the layout, and he decided to launch the steam engine that has been developed in the past two years.

The advent of steam locomotives and the completion of the laying of the first railroad tracks made the court boil directly.

The speed of the march from Chang'an to Luoyang was directly pushed to the limit.

The speed at which tens of thousands of troops arrived in minutes made Luoyang a direct management of Chang'an.

The courtiers looked further at the Tang Dynasty's management of Central and South Asia.

The limit of feudal empire rule was 100 days of marching speed.

That is, to send the troops to the rebellion within 100 days of receiving the order.

Beyond this range, it is beyond the reach of the feudal empire.

Over the years, Datang has been building roads by opening mountains and cracking rocks, desperately improving the speed of transporting troops to Central Asia and South Asia.

But it didn't work out well.

The limit is the limit.

And now the advent of steam locomotives has broken the limits.

The feudal states of Central Asia and the feudal kingdoms of South Asia were silent.

They originally thought that they would be able to go beyond the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't expect it, and they still didn't go beyond it.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty could put tens of thousands of troops into Central Asia.

But now with steam locomotives, as long as the rails are laid in place, hundreds of thousands of troops can be put in place, which is enough to suppress the entire Central Asian region.

The steam engine ship was also made out by Li Kuan.

The great increase in navigation speed allowed Datang to start the early development of the Americas.

Originally, with the technological innovation in Datang in the past two years, some water conservancy spinning mills appeared, and a large number of workers began to lose their jobs, causing a certain panic.

But now, with the help of steam locomotives, large-scale construction jobs have emerged, completely filling the gap in jobs needed by the population.

Most importantly, it has led to the development of various places.

Li Kuan looked at the changes in Datang, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

It's the technology that counts.

The development of all walks of life will enter a stage of efficiency next.

"The first industrial revolution in the previous life lasted for two hundred years, and this time, it is estimated that it is about the same."

"Datang will have at least a hundred years of national fortune in the future."

Li Kuan really felt that he was worthy of Datang.

He has brought a strong and long national fortune to Datang.

He believes that Datang can live for at least 500 years on the road he left behind.

As long as Europe is not conquered, the Americas are not explored, and the descendants of the Tang Dynasty are no longer fools, then the Tang Dynasty will not perish easily.

After all, the emergence of steam locomotives made the families of Central and South Asia nervous.

They all came to Wu Mei's birthday party.

Li Kuan looked at Yang Shidao, who he hadn't seen for many years, and welcomed him with a smile.

Yang Shidao looked at Li Kuan with tired eyes, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, can we still fight again?" ”

"We want to go to the West, we don't want to stay in Central Asia anymore."

"This Central Asia is too close to you."

After returning to Datang and seeing the transportation power of steam locomotives with his own eyes, Yang Shidao really didn't want to stay in Central Asia.

I've heard that there is a black continent across the west, and it's not bad to go there.

Take the technology, roll up the population, and go to build a country of your own.

He estimated that with the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be a problem to turn Central Asia and South Asia into his direct territories.

Li Kuan looked at Yang Shidao and said softly: "I'll tell you the truth, I will keep all the ancestral ancestral halls you left in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"When planning the city in the future, I will also vacate it for you as your fixed property."

"I will also leave a last word, and every time the title deed of the property is renewed, I will send it to you alone."

Yang Shidao's hair exploded when he heard this.

He heard a heavy meaning from Li Kuan's words, and the migratory birds returned home.

"Datang's goal is. Unify the world? ”

Yang Shidao's voice trembled, he didn't expect Li Kuan to have such ambitions.

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Kuan said with a smile: "If you don't establish an ambition to unify the world, how can Datang prolong the national fortunes." ”

Yang Shidao could only respond with silence.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know what expression he should use.

Li Kuan smiled.

Wu Mei's birthday banquet was held very grandly with the arrival of families from all over the world.

For a while, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were not enough, and the imperial kitchen was tired and paralyzed.

Before the birthday banquet was held, the imperial chef was responsible for the meals of the harem concubines and Li Kuan, which added up to thirty or forty people.

The eunuchs and palace maids were all made by ordinary cooks in the imperial dining room.

Of course, the number of eunuchs and palace maids now does not add up, that is, more than 1,500 people.

The people who came to the banquet were all stamped feet from all over the place, and each one had to cook for himself by the imperial chef.

For a while, the imperial chefs seemed to have returned to the time when Li Shimin was.

The conversation between Li Kuan and Yang Shidao spread before the banquet was over.

Li Kuan didn't care either, just tasted the various dishes made by the imperial chef plainly.

On weekdays, unless he orders, he won't be able to eat all kinds of banquet dishes from the imperial kitchen.

But he can't just order food when he's fine.

In addition, Li Kuan knows that if you eat too much, you will get tired of it.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but complain when he saw Li Kuan's retrospective expression on his face: "I think you are more or less ashamed." ”

Li Kuan smiled and didn't care.

Since becoming the emperor, his attitude towards life has become more and more casual, except for the occasional troubles in government affairs, he doesn't care about anything else.
