Thinking that he might become an emperor for eternity, Li Er became more and more excited, it felt so good.
The world is not yet the Tang Dynasty's world, but Tang Taizong is already the Tang Taizong of the world, hehe.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became. At this time, the three ministers Wei Zheng, Fang Du and others were pouring wine for Li Sheng Wu Nao, but Li Sheng scolded him. Li Er couldn't help but stand up and come over.
Li Sheng had just chased the three old men away, and was wondering why Old Li looked like a trafficker looking at meat tickets when he saw this fellow coming over with a wine flask.
"Fuck you! You really want to drink it to death, okay, less, I really can't drink it anymore."
After staying at the Lion Tower for a while, Li Sheng quickly returned to Qiongzhou Island.
The current situation is that no matter what happens to the Tang Dynasty, the best policy is to first keep a low profile and be cautious, and not get involved in anything to avoid making a big fuss and shocking the master, even if the Tang Dynasty becomes the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, then again, from Li Sheng's point of view, no, it doesn't have to be from Li Sheng's point of view. From anyone's point of view, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to become the Qing Dynasty. In this case, there is no need to do anything specifically.
For Li Sheng, if he had time traveled a hundred or two hundred years earlier, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he would have directly conquered the four directions to unify China and then take advantage of the situation to pass through the world. However, since this was originally the Zhenguan period, there was no point in participating in these national events by himself.
It makes sense.
If the emperor can't intimidate him, then he can go and help with the advice. But if no one comes to visit him, then it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask Tian Wenshe for help? This is a peaceful and prosperous time.
In short, Li Sheng is in a very subtle state of mind now.
Even though he was in bad shape, he felt at ease, even righteous, and resolutely refused to participate in any grand plan to dominate the country, the country, and the world.
However, we continued to build a hotel and tourist shopping mall in Qiongzhou Island. Halfway through, of course, this kind of thing cannot be completed overnight. There must be a process, and it was during this process that Li Sheng discovered that the situation seemed to be a bit beyond expectations——
There are still not enough wealthy people in China today.
The key is not the rich, to be precise, it is the relatively wealthy middle class. Specifically, it means that later generations will buy various first-release flagships - including but not limited to mobile phones and computers, and then have certain assets, passive income, and active income.
This is a group of people with higher incomes.
This group is the main force of consumption. It is also the Tang Dynasty, and it is not just the Tang Dynasty. It is the population template that must increase its size no matter which dynasty it is.
The more middle class there is, the more peaceful the country will be, the more frequent technological innovation will be, and the more dynamic the economy will be.
But there is also a problem. Datang does not have that many middle-class people now. In other words, no matter how well this tourist area is run, its business may be in trouble in the future.
At present, it is not that there is no middle class in the Tang Dynasty, but these people are either studying loans and buying ships in Hangzhou, the Zhongzuo Institute, and the nearby Saint Maiden Port area, waiting for opportunities to make a fortune, or they are racing in the northwest of Lingzhou and enclosing land-since
After the Turks were finished, Tuyuhun was finished again, and then Gaochang Kucha.
Although the Tang Dynasty expanded its land for thousands of miles, it has basically not developed these places. And the original population of the area was basically all barbarians - so they certainly cannot stay in such places forever, and of course they have to be dealt with.
, such as going to various factories, making more money and causing less trouble, and the troubles will be settled.
There will be no chaos, but these places are also in dire ruin.
Although there was not much development in this part of the Western Region, it seems that it cannot be called "waste". After all, land can only be called "waste" if things are planted. However, this area was originally a good pasture.
Because it is a pasture, this place is actually a geomantic treasure, especially the area at the southern end of the Western Region, which is known as the South of the Yangtze River. If you have a pasture, you can raise horses, and if you have horses, you can have a strong army - but at present.
Although the Tang Dynasty has no intention of removing the cavalry unit, and it can even be said that there are no signs of it, this does not mean that the Tang Dynasty has no plans to do so. People with insight have already seen the clues.
Now that the Tang Dynasty had steam chariots, as soon as this thing came out, it directly embarrassed all the strong soldiers and generals in the past, because even the brave generals would risk their lives if they encountered this thing.
The basic routine of the military has changed, and everything else has to change. This is the same as the game. The locations of maps, defense towers, and wild monsters have completely changed. Which path should be taken and which hero is popular?
Who is a crotch-puller? How come this doesn’t change?
And this "insightful man" is not a clear scholar who is well-read in poetry and books, but is often a businessman in Lingzhou. This group of people used to be half-people and half-bandits, and then they naturally transformed after Lingzhou became developed.
How could a businessman with military experience fail to see the future of cavalry?
So of course no one raised horses on this ranch, and even if they did, they would only raise expensive breeds, which would be sold as luxury goods, similar to the sports cars of later generations - but large-scale horse farms gradually disappeared.
The pasture became empty, and of course——
It’s not like no one thought that using such a large pasture to raise sheep would not be a profitable business. After all, the horse breeders have left, so pasture is cheap.
In the past, this advantage in the Western Regions meant that they were not well-known and there were not many powerful tribes capable of harassing and plundering. In other words, the risk was relatively small. Now that the Tang Dynasty's Forbidden Army has come to have powerful tribes, it is nonsense, but the "expansion" itself is
What remains unchanged is that the vacancies in pastures caused by no one raising horses are naturally reflected in the prices. There is no need to fight when the Tang Dynasty comes, but you still have to pay to raise horses and sheep in the pastures, but not as much as in the past.
It's just a change.
But the problem also arises.
When everyone knows that a place is very easy to make money, but also knows that the way to make money in this place is very single, which is to raise sheep, how many people can this place attract? It is conceivable that the price of mutton is almost
As soon as the news of the Tang Dynasty's steam chariots that severely damaged the Romans reached Lingzhou, the price plummeted by 20% - the far-sighted businessmen realized that the elimination of horses would lead to internal disruption in the sheep farming industry.
Volume is not a strange thing.
Therefore, the Western Region is still not developed much, but there are still many merchants here in Lingzhou, because although the Western Region is not easy to develop, the area of Eastern Europe further north is.
Excluding the fact that it was a place of four wars and was frequently contaminated by wars, and protected by the warm monsoons of the Mediterranean, farming was very developed - so there was naturally a soil for commerce.
