Sending the Forbidden Army to build a fortress in Port Saint-Vincent was originally a link, or a "component" in the entire construction process.
Because if a place wants to build a prosperous port, money, food, and troops are both indispensable.
Without money and food, it definitely won't work. There's nothing to say about it. It's good if there is no trouble in a hungry and cold land. Do you still want to prosper? But it certainly won't work without an army, because then prosperity will be unsustainable and problems will occur sooner or later.
Li Er is very clear about this in his heart, and not only Li Er knows it, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others are even more clear. Or for top strategists like them, this is a natural law... Hundreds
Years of chaos and countless human lives have proven this.
Not just His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers of the DPRK, in fact, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to end the troubled times and rebuild civilization was precisely because the entire world understood this.
So here comes the question... Normally speaking, if the imperial court's actions towards the Port Saint Maiden area were to be carried out in any other place in China, the people would 100% eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's master. This is definitely not an exaggeration.
The imperial army was sent for protection, and money was also spent to improve infrastructure and boost various industries.
No matter how you look at it, the future of the local people is bright: there are troops stationed, the risk of regional conflicts is low, and the court is willing to spend money, which also shows that this place has a bright future and will be able to follow the industrial and commercial trend of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Isn't this good? This is perfect.
Li Er originally thought that this should be the case, but when he returned to Chang'an after having a drink with Li Sheng, he received a message reporting that after the Forbidden Army was sent out to Saint Maiden Port, they were directly smashed by many craftsmen!
Because they were all common people and there were so many people, the small Imperial Army school that led the troops had no choice but to restrain the troops to avoid escalating the situation. In the end, they retreated out of frustration and camped in a field dozens of miles away.
Hearing this news, Li Er almost exploded with anger. When the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty faced the Turks, the Goguryeo, and the Romans, when such powerful enemies came all the way, had they ever "fed back"? And now they are actually
And you have to be done like this by your own people.
Damn it, Li Er felt that his blood pressure could no longer be suppressed in an instant. This was a bit too much. Could the Forbidden Army have committed a heinous crime? So he immediately started investigating.
The results of this investigation...
But it's a little weird and I can't understand it.
The local craftsmen objected, and their appeal turned out to be to resist the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty - to resist the tyranny of a certain dynasty. Li Er was no stranger to this kind of thing. After all, this was how the Tang Dynasty started, and there was really a famine all over the country.
But the situation now is obviously different from that in the late Sui Dynasty!
No matter where the people in China say they want to resist the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty, it makes sense, but it is absolutely not the turn of the craftsmen of Saint Lady's Port to say it!
Because of this group of people, they have recently made a fortune by following Li Sheng in making music boxes. I didn’t know how poor this group of people were in Panyu before, but this time because they want to develop the Port Saint Virgin area, I don’t know.
It's so detailed.
Li Shengzheng's music box business has at least made these craftsmen dozens or hundreds of times richer.
Making people richer dozens or hundreds of times, this would be a great joy for anyone in the world - even myself, who is the ninth-five-year-old, to be able to wake up with a smile every minute after falling asleep.
In this case, why... why does this situation still happen, and why are these craftsmen still dissatisfied?
Li Er can understand if he is not satisfied. This is too normal. When he is hungry, he only wants to eat a bowl of noodles that cost five cents. But when he is full, he should think about clothes that cost fifty cents a piece. After wearing them, he will naturally think about them even more.
I want to buy that 500-yen hairpin for my beloved girl...
But dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction are two different things, right? Positive expectations bring dissatisfaction, while negative expectations and anxiety bring dissatisfaction.
Li Er naturally does not know the modern financial terminology of positive and negative expectations, but the principle is still very clear.
And this is even more outrageous and unreasonable, because the Tang Dynasty is obviously going to further develop Saint Maiden Harbor and build a large city and fortress in the future.
The combination of the two, Li Sheng calls it "city", and by this word, at this stage, the entire China may only include Lingzhou, Hangzhou, and Chang'an, maybe half of them are counted by Zhongzuo - Okay, okay, no need
Then we took stock, and there were only a few names for the whole country.
There is no doubt that Port Saint-Vincent will become as solid and prosperous as those big cities in the future. This... can this be a negative expectation?
This is so fucking outrageous! It’s outrageous that his mother booked a flight for Leike and he went to Siberia!
Li Er was not only angry, but also completely confused!
After saying goodbye to Li Sheng at the Lion Tower, Li Er returned to the palace and learned of the news of the incident in Port Saint-Victoria. The local area was still in a stalemate, and the relationship between the military and the people was quite tense.
Generally speaking, people have toothaches that are accompanied by head pains. This time, Li Er had head pains coupled with toothaches and couldn't sleep at all at night. Late that night, at the second watch, he sent a few yellow men to go out and guard them.
Wei Zheng and others called over.
After Wei Zheng and others were called, Li Er explained the information he had received. Not only was Li Er confused, Wei Zheng and others were also confused by this strange incident most of the night.
This...this can cause a civil commotion. The difficulty of this game is too high!
After all, a civil commotion usually occurs when the people don't have enough to eat, but at this stage, I'm afraid that even if the whole of China doesn't have enough to eat, it's definitely not the turn of Port Saint-Vincento to have enough to eat.
The key point is that Saint Maiden Port, both the land itself and the group of craftsmen who initially followed Li Sheng south, has a bright future. Well, this... this can also cause a civil uprising. As the minister of China,
This is really not an ordinary difficulty to resist, it is too difficult to resist, and it is simply impossible to resist...
but.
Fortunately for Li Er, he had called Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the rest. Otherwise, he would have been working behind closed doors without knowing when he would have some ideas. After all, Wei Zheng and others were still the top elites of the Tang Dynasty. The real ones
This kind of elite, although he was confused and speechless, after thinking about it for a while, he really got some insights.
Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not unprecedented... At that time, Your Majesty said that he wanted to expand the academy and spread it all over the world. Didn't scholars from Chengxi Academy in Chang'an and Lingzhou Academy cause trouble?"
"oh?"
When Li Er heard this, his eyes widened and shone brightly.
That's right... the people in Saint Maiden's Port are rioting this time. It's obviously not the kind of people who want to rebel because they don't have enough to eat, but another kind. However, after thinking about it, there are no cases to refer to, and Wei Zhengju's
This example is indeed interesting.
Similar things really happened in Lingzhou and Chang'an back then... It can be said that they are similar in nature!
