"What are you sighing for?" Li Ke looked at him and said a little speechlessly.

"Hey, in fact, I don't think Qinghai will become the center of Datang, and it is estimated that it is also a state in a remote area, at least it will not be so important." Qiao Shiwang sighed and said.

"Why do you say that?" Li Ke was a little curious.

"It's very simple, the geographical location and environment determine the upper limit here, although there is a river valley in the east that can be cultivated, but it is limited to this, and some of the minerals are not estimated to be particularly much, mainly because they are not particularly outstanding compared to other states."

"In addition, a large number of Gobi deserts in the west and southwest, plus Xinjiang Prefecture connected to this side, are also areas with harsh climates such as Ruoqiang, and there is a desert in the middle."

"Under such conditions, it is difficult to become a transit point connecting with the west, and it can be seen from the dilapidated southern route of the Silk Road that the environmental impact is very large."

"Because these small countries like southern Xinjiang, the population of the cities in Datang is not large, the population is not large, the business will not be too prosperous, without business, there will not be much traffic, and even fewer people want to pass through Qinghai."

"When the railway is built from Longyou Road, it will be even more deserted, and it is estimated that for a long time, Qinghai Road will have to develop self-sufficiently."

Qiao Shiwang sighed and said, "Although the current development of Qinghai is relatively fast within the scope of the entire Tang Dynasty, its position in the future determines that it will not be too important. ”

Qiao Shiwang's words made Li Ke silent for a while, because what Qiao Shiwang said was the truth, because some things can be seen with the naked eye.

Even if the Tang Dynasty won the land to go to the Western Regions, such as Persia and Dashi, Qinghai would not become an important transit center.

From the west side of the border, the best roads are not close to Qinghai, and its environment is too harsh, whether it is to build an official road or a railway, it needs a lot of personnel to maintain.

Therefore, the railways and official roads in the early stage were built to Chihai City at most, and the west would definitely not be extended.

The vast Gobi Desert is no joke.

As for mineral resources, Datang is not short now, or in other words, there will be quite a lot of resources that Datang can discover in the future, and the mineral resources in these harsh climate areas will definitely not be developed at the first time.

Therefore, Qiao Shiwang's statement is correct from a certain point of view, and on the Qinghai side, even Li Ke himself can't think of a possibility that it can develop.

It's like a question for later generations to vote on the Internet, the province with the least sense of existence, everyone recognizes, Qinghai dare not say first, but it is definitely among the top three, it is estimated that Qinghai Province in later generations is not as famous as Qinghai Lake, even if it is a name.

And the current Datang and Qinghai Prefecture are estimated to be the same, because it is too featureless. Tibet can also become a place of yearning for literary and artistic youth, the third pole of the world, and some identities can attract a large number of tourists.

More than 1,000 years later, it is estimated that bloggers and the like who play self-media are about to catch up with the real number of tourists.

Xinjiang, on the other hand, is vast and sparsely populated, with a variety of beautiful scenery, which Qinghai does not have, so its low profile is obvious.

It is estimated that Ningxia can compete with Qinghai, but Ningxia is small, so there is no way.

Seeing Li Ke hesitate, Qiao Shiwang knew that he had guessed, and he continued to speak.

"It seems that I am right, but I don't care, Your Highness, you can't let down the people you support, give them some policies." Qiao Shiwang said with a smile.

Li Ke looked at him a little speechless: "Look at what you said, which of the people of the Tang Dynasty is not the people of the Tang Dynasty, they must all be the same, policy, what policy should I provide?" There must be a lot of policies here. ”

"Actually, I've laid out a lot of things here, otherwise, maybe many things here are even more backward, such as weapon research and several mines, I have already arranged here."

"In addition, in terms of breeding and seed cultivation, experts in agronomy from Datang will definitely come here for training in the future."

As for the breeding of seeds, one of the reasons why it was arranged in the Hehuang Valley was because the people here were more obedient and obedient to Li Ke's words, and if they were allowed to grow some grain, they would not encounter much resistance.

This is very important for issues such as breeding, which is now in its infancy.

"Okay, hehe, didn't I have an opinion? If you think it can't be done, then follow Datang's policy. Qiao Shiwang smiled and said.

"In this way, a large military training ground and exercise site can be established in Qinghai." Li Ke thought for a while and said, the soldiers stationed here in Qinghai have played a huge role in controlling Qinghai, Tibet and Xinjiang.

In the future, more Datang troops will come here for training, but it is also said in the past, or it is okay to directly set up Qinghai as the location of the main military region of the Western Theater of the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, then it's settled." Qiao Shiwang said directly, "San Lang, how long are you going to stay this time?" ”

"After the New Year. This time, I came to celebrate the New Year with the people of Qinghai. Li Ke said.

"Yes, but the conditions here are not as good as Chang'an, even if it is the New Year's dinner, it is not as good as Chang'an, don't dislike it when the time comes." Qiao Shiwang said with a smile.

"What do I dislike, it's not as good as Chang'an, I can transport it, it's nothing more than the freight, as for the freight, as long as it is earned for the people, I don't care." Li Ke said lightly.

In winter, transportation to this side can only be transported by land, because the Yellow River is closed in winter.

"San Lang is atmospheric, it looks like I can have a good year this year." Qiao Shiwang said with emotion.

"Don't even think about it, let me tell you, you just wait to run outside with me during the Chinese New Year this year." Li Ke said lightly, I don't have a good year this year, do you want to have a good year? What do you think.

In this era, going out to condolences in winter is really a careless and potentially fatal.

Qiao Shiwang: "......"

"Moreover, let me tell you, in the future, you local officials should not think about the days of rest for the New Year every year, and it would be good for you to have seven days of vacation in the future for fifteen days."

"For the remaining seven days, you have been out to give me condolences, and to go to the countryside to find problems, and there are some things that can only be deeply felt when you go to the countryside and people's homes." Li Ke spoke again.

Qiao Shiwang: "......"

"No, Your Highness, why did you say that you took over the job of a prince of the prison country, don't you have a good time? Aren't you tired of being a prisoner? Qiao Shiwang even changed his title.
