After all, Li Er was also a little angry. No, the dilemma that Datang is facing now, no, actually it is not facing any dilemma, because there are vast hectares of fertile land in America.
Why should the court encourage such a good place? What is there to encourage?
It's like giving you a beautiful woman as your wife for free, and then you have to be taught how to be intimate? This is simply,
In Li Er's opinion, the land in America is like that, but there is a big problem now. These merchants are unwilling to go. It would be great if there could be such a ship.
The biggest risk in going to the Americas is not pirate plunder. This aspect also makes Li Er feel a little dumbfounded, because the maritime merchants of the Tang Dynasty are really not afraid of these pirates at present.
There are mainly powerful gangsters with strong foundations, such as those in the Southeast Bay before, and the pirates in Yingzhou earlier. These have been dealt with by the imperial court. The rest of the pirates are basically not enough to watch, and the storms on the sea are
That's what people fear the most.
But how is this thing going to be built? Li Er is still a little worried.
Although after considering it, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to build ships, because shipbuilding itself is not necessarily cost-effective, but shipbuilding can simultaneously meet the external strategy of American management and the internal industrial upgrading strategy.
Many projects that may not necessarily be useful at first glance have been carried out by various dynasties in history. This is not because they are stupid, but actually because of such considerations. But even though the new ship plan is worth pursuing, Li Er still feels that it is worth pursuing.
There won't be any trouble in this matter, right?
Although he couldn't seem to think of any reason, Li Er had such a premonition for no reason.
It wasn't until later that we talked about Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, the three old friends, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, and a series of close ministers, both civil and military, gathered together for a discussion, and the results were almost the same, so Li Ercai gradually gradually
Feel at ease and start arranging various matters.
Of course, Li Er would not keep the matter of building a new ship a secret, because this project was meant to be shown to the world.
Only if the imperial court itself makes money through such a project, will ordinary people think about getting on board and follow suit, right? Or rather, Li Er is eager for the news to spread.
Fortunately, Li Sheng had developed printing technology before, and the Tang Dynasty was no longer short of books. At the same time, he also accidentally revealed the idea of newspapers and magazines. A man named Changsun Chong originally had it not been for Changsun Wuji.
Except for the powerful father and Princess Shang, there are guys who are basically unknown in the history books. I have learned from him.
Gradually, the people of the entire Chinese world have become extremely well-informed.
Li Er had no idea what kind of huge power this "extremely well-informed" would generate in the future, and how many wars and developments it would cause. However, Li Er knew for sure that the first effect should be as expected, which is to attract the world.
The goal is for the people to join the tide of industrial upgrading!
This matter, in fact, is not extremely important in Li Er's mind.
Although important things do not mean urgent things, urgency does not mean important. What is most important to Li Er is actually a relatively abstract narrative.
Nowadays, the rules of the game have changed. The Chinese descendants of the Tang Dynasty must act as soon as possible to seize the opportunity, so that they can have a share of the Chinese world in the future!
In this regard, Li Er is currently doing his best, but the trend cannot be changed overnight. However, the building of new ships can be launched smoothly, and it has a certain effect among the people as planned and expected.
This is already very satisfying.
after all.
Li Er has also been quite frustrated in the past few years. He thought that when he raised the army and took office, he always thought that after getting rid of the enemy, he could achieve something great and make the world of China prosperous and invincible.
China is now prospering. Except for the variable Rome, it is basically invincible. There is basically no chance of anything happening to the rest of the world.
In the end, this was all Li Shengzheng’s fault, and he seemed to have no effect at all!
So here’s the problem. I planned to play a hard game, but it turned out that someone else was pretending to be cool the whole time. Anyway, the feeling was definitely quite different from the expected pleasure.
Therefore, when Li Er saw that the results were good this time, he was still very motivated!
Even as things progressed, reports from various yamen showed that the results were good, so Li Er was naturally very happy.
but.
There is a saying: What you are afraid of will come to you, and there is a saying: Unpredictable weather will happen.
Li Er was worried that there might be some hidden dangers in this matter before, right? At the same time, he was always afraid that he would make some mistakes if he didn't pay attention, although later.
Later, after communicating with a group of close ministers, I felt a lot more relieved. No matter what problems existed, and the most critical yamen had reported them, the people were very interested in this project, because it was obvious that
The imperial court must have had thoughts about America when it did this.
So people naturally started talking about it.
Li Er expected it to be true!
Although the people are afraid of the terrifying waves on the way to America, they are not really unmoved by the huge interests of America!
Although the people in America do not think it is a wise move to settle down and buy property there, people want to make money when doing business in America, and they are still very flexible!
Li Er was happy with such a good situation. Half a year later, the plan to build a new ship finally successfully completed the first phase. A strange-shaped ship was built.
Immediately afterwards, there were indeed many maritime merchants who wanted to buy ships, but as soon as they turned around, news came out that there were pirates in the Pacific!
The imperial court had long ago cracked down on pirates.
Naturally, Li Er had no doubts at first and basically didn't take this thing seriously. However, the matter still came out like this, which directly made Li Er's scalp numb.
How things could be like this is really hard to understand. Li Er only felt that he was a fool. There were pirates wherever he went. The sea had just started to be opened before, so it didn't matter that there were pirates in the Nanyang waters. Now this is not the case.
When we reached the stage of colonizing America, there were actually pirates again.
However, things this time were different from those in Nanyang before. This time Li Er quickly found out the reason.
Before the Nanyang route was opened, the situation of overflowing pirates was different in stages, and the main forces also changed several times. At first, it was the reckless heroes Luocao from China. This part really gave the court a headache.
