"Such a Buddhist country was not swallowed up by the surrounding careerists, probably because of this powerful combat power."

Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the records of the terrifying army recorded in the army documents.

Li Kuan found in the information of the military department that the state of Chu was not without foreign wars.

Although Li Qing and others are Buddhists, they have never been instigated in foreign wars.

Other countries in Eastern Europe have also invaded the Chu State in the past, or made trouble, but they were all killed by the Chu army.

There was a group of Slavs who did not like to farm, they did not like to work, and they wanted to drink every day, but they also knew that it was not normal for them to drink only and not dry.

They all chose to become professional soldiers.

Go for a drink on days when there is no war and no training.

After participating in military service all year round, coupled with large and small wars, the Chu State has successfully accumulated a large number of professional veterans.

These people ensured the combat effectiveness of the state of Chu.

In addition, the principle that people will automatically find work after they are idle.

Among the more than 20 million people in the Chu State, there are always some people who develop a second career after waiting for boredom.

Many of them chose to go to the army to exercise.

That's right, it's to go to the army and exercise.

Military service is the best method of exercise, scientific and reasonable.

When you come out, you will definitely be able to get a good body.

Perfect for extreme adventures.

Li Kuan spent a month watching the situation in Chu State.

After reading it, I have a feeling that this country is really suitable for retirement.

I don't know how Li Chen did it, this country is like suddenly jumping from feudal society to the extreme of socialism.

The whole country is very peaceful internally.

To this end, Li Kuan also conducted an in-depth investigation.

In the end, the result was that this was due to the abundance of supplies.

Because the abundant materials were successfully fed by all the people of Chu after being reasonably developed.

After that, there was a surplus, and the officials of the Chu State invested a lot in education, which greatly raised the cultural level at all levels.

In addition, the state of Chu was a newly established state by Li Chen from scratch, and it lacked a large number of corrupt magnates.

The elite class here is basically born from within the Chu State alone, most of them are individual magnates, not the group magnates of the family, after seeing the sons of the family outside die for the family without a place to be buried, they don't like to fight for power and profit, and go to the ambitious play with their lives.

In their opinion, my family is just two or three people, if I die for the country, it's okay, but for my own family?

Then if I die, will my son really be able to hold up the title?

If he is killed again, I will be killed.

Forget it, don't fight for power and profit, everyone play yours together, I play mine, my family doesn't have to be passed down through the ages.

Also, maybe it can be passed down through the ages.

This is the difference between individual magnates and group magnates.

The reason for the birth of the group elite is to better survive in dangerous times.

Then the group of elites formed by blood ties, that is, the family.

The individual magnates are different, they are small families.

The reason why the magnates of the Chu State did not develop into group magnates, but remained in the individual magnates was because the basic conditions of the Chu State were too good, and each family could live well with their own units, and there was no need to hold a group at all.

Coupled with equal educational and political resources, they don't even have the opportunity to ask for help.

So that those individual magnates basically have no chance to taste the happiness of giving grace to their families.

It also deprives those people of the opportunity to climb the elite.

Most people don't choose to ask for help when they can solve this problem on their own.

It's all independent.

Over time, after all these years, the state of Chu has become what it is now.

"It is estimated that in the future, the use of the Chu State to wage war abroad will also have to use personal prestige."

Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh.

If Li Chen tells the people of Chu now that you want to go with me to participate in the counterinsurgency war, it is estimated that they will not have much idea.

But if Li Chen told them, please go to war for me and seize the highest glory, they might be desperate.

Because they are full of gratitude and worship for Li Chen, it is Li Chen, and it is the Li family that has brought them the good life they have now.

Their good impression of Datang comes more from their father, wife, and husband's description of Datang.

There are also some because the child Gu Datang has studied abroad, and he is full of good feelings for Datang when he comes back.

Li Kuan didn't know how to sort out the Chu State for a while.

In the end, I can only choose to use the simplest method to sort it out, and constantly improve the foundation of Chu State, so that the people of Chu State can live in a peaceful environment as much as possible.

Let the state of Chu survive safely no matter what happens in the future.

The simplest point is to improve the industrial infrastructure of the Chu State.

"The best way to develop technology is to build a big project."

Li Kuan sat alone in the study and muttered.

He did not deceive Li Qing and others.

Make a big project, and then work hard to complete it, in the process, you will gain countless skills.

For example, to build a bridge, you need to use super strong steel bars, so do you have to study the forging technology of this steel bar?

Building bridges also requires a mastery and grasp of mechanics, and you don't have to study the support of mechanics.

The more difficult the bridge you build, the more technology you gain.

In the 21st century, it has been proven that there are some things that you don't do because you have technology, but you get technology when you do it.

Like mushroom eggs, is the technology it involves for war?

No.

It's just that this technology is just enough to make this thing.

Later, when the Central Plains built their own mushroom eggs, because of the mushroom eggs, the Central Plains burst out with a bunch of additional technologies, which pulled the basic industrial level of the Central Plains from the desert level to the forest level.

And later submarines, missiles, and so on.

The completion of each project will make the basic industry more perfect.

The additional technology that emerges when they complete it is sometimes more important to a country than the project.

The first task that Li Kuan now found for the state of Chu was to build a large ship with a displacement of thousands of tons.

Anyway, most people in Chu are idle, so let's find something for them.

In particular, the people of Chu should publicize it and recruit a group of educated and knowledgeable people to fight for the country.

Of course, in order to stimulate their self-motivation, Li Kuan's propaganda slogan is whether you dare to challenge the impossible with your knowledge.

The Tang world now does not have large ships with a displacement of thousands of tons.

It's an impossible.

So do you Chu people dare to do it?

It turned out that it was a bunch of bored people of Chu who were involved.

They enthusiastically signed up and actively participated.

It doesn't matter if the salary is not paid, they can eat and dress their families anyway, what they want is to challenge the impossible and prove their strength.

After Li Kuan's men went down, Li Qing and the others were shocked.

is worthy of being the emperor who once led the Tang Dynasty to the peak, this level of ability is too shocking.

After this operation, the whole country was mobilized.

Admire, admire so much.

At this moment, they were convinced by Li Kuan.

Li Kuan has never concealed his work.

People from other countries in the Tang world widened their eyes when they heard about Li Kuan's operation.

Then they couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that Li Kuan is crazy?" ”

"If he comes up and starts this kind of giant project, isn't he afraid of dragging the country down?"

The families and feudal states of the Tang world have all seen the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty dragging down the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty and the canal of the Sui Dynasty dragging down the Sui Dynasty in the history books.

But they felt that Li Kuan was not like a fool and could not do something stupid.

But they couldn't see it, and in the end they chose to wait and see what happened, and not to express their opinions.

Li Chen got all the ideas of Li Kuan's construction of the giant ship project.

After a half-mutter, he still decided to tell Chang'an.

He loves the Tang Dynasty and the Chu State, and he hopes that the two countries can coexist peacefully.

Besides, the royal families of Chu and the Tang Dynasty are one family, and it is right not to distinguish each other.

After Chang'an got it, he also fell silent.

"There is still such a way of development."

"That's right."

"Because the Sui Dynasty threw a lot of resources into the canal development, the Zhenguan and Yongsheng dynasties could have enough craftsmen and judgment of the land when they perfected the canal."

"So the plan works."

After Li Chen listened to Chang'an's muttering, he couldn't help but speak: "Then should we keep up." ”

"Even if the relationship between the two countries is good, my father will not hand over all the technology harvested by the Chu State to us."

And Li Chen himself won't ask for it.

He can tell Chang'an the benefits of this matter is the limit.

Chang An smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The Tang Dynasty is larger than the Chu State, and there are more people with knowledge and technology. ”

"We don't have to learn from Uncle completely."

"We can take other paths."

Chang'an decisively chose to open up a new track.
