Today's Tubo. Although the Hu people completely changed their customs. The Hu people have begun to get used to going to work and farming. Not long ago, the Tibetan supremacy party's railway construction was completed, and the steam train has also started running. Railway tracks were also laid in Datang. The main track is the short-distance and long-distance arrival rail from Chang'an City to Shangdang. no doubt. At present, Shangdang serves as the core hub. For Tubo and Datang, it was very important. No matter from any point of view, as long as this steady development continues, the territory of Datang and Tubo will be in the future. More contacts will be made.
With the development of steam trains, the obvious benefit is that there are more immigrants from the Central Plains. After all, Tubo is no longer a symbol of backwardness in the past. On the contrary, it was in the northwest where Su Li ruled. The most prosperous city. Nowadays, the number of people living in the Central Plains in Tubo City is gradually increasing. After several years of recuperation, the population has grown astonishingly. During the reign of Zhenguan in the past, the population growth in a century was about 12%. But today's Tubo and Tang Dynasty. The annual population growth is an abrupt increase of 20%! This is due to the preferential treatment of the fertility policy. Both the Tang Dynasty and the northwest need a sufficient population of 640. Free education is even available in the northwest. A full five years. The number of people in the entire northwest has reached close to ten million. The Tang Dynasty had more than 40 million people. This number undoubtedly brings a huge and amazing population base. Also the trade volume of external demand gradually increased. This also made Su Li start to think about it. Is it necessary to transform the original industrial revolution into a real reform of handicraft industry? now. Factories are still being opened throughout the northwest.
In order to meet the needs of the labor force, although the profits obtained are very huge, the expenses incurred due to welfare are also quite staggering. If the handicraft industry can be reformed. perhaps. The next changes will be more unexpected than originally expected. Even more obvious. But Su Li was also hesitant. Because he knows that this matter cannot be decided easily, otherwise the situation that will arise may be more uncomfortable than imagined. "Well...now the northwest is under full control." "The speed of development and population are also quite significant, and those well-trained soldiers also have sufficient combat capabilities. "Cooperate with the movement of the train." "In short, let's conduct a small-scale pilot first. After automation is started, more types of factories will also need to add more manpower." Su Li pondered for a moment and said. After all, we still plan to start a small-scale pilot and see what happens after the pilot. If we can make steady progress, then these are acceptable. And if you conduct a small-scale pilot. The impact will not be too great, at least within his control. Tang Dynasty. Inside Chang'an City. Li Er also handled important matters in Tai Chi Palace. For him, every day is fulfilling now. Although external expansion cannot be carried out with the northwest region, it also gives the people of Tang Dynasty time to recuperate. Li Er was also quite pleased with this. But what surprised him the most... was the changes in Tubo today. The reason why he enfeoffed the northwest land was in the first place. In addition to being afraid of Su Li's superiority, he also felt that it would not be easy to develop the northwest. There is no fertile soil and excellent geographical environment of the Central Plains. Want to start from scratch. Even a deity descending to earth can't do this kind of thing, right? But I didn’t expect that in just a few years, such earth-shaking changes would have taken place! And find out the reason.
Naturally, it is inseparable from the existence called the steam train. Think of this. Li Er glanced at the mechanical model of a steam train placed aside. Even until now, he can't believe it. Just relying on a little coal can actually make such a giant thing run. He sighed. “When Li Che reported this matter in the past, I thought he was talking nonsense. "How can there be anything like this in the world?" "Even the rumored Mo family organization in the past is probably nothing more than that, right?" "Now that the northwest is developing like this, I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse for Datang." "The existence of the so-called automobile, if used a little bit, will also be able to play many uses in marching and fighting. After the railway runs across the northwest, it can advance, attack and retreat." at the moment. Although the northwest is still unable to compete with Datang in all aspects. But if this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before it grows to a rather alarming level. Even if it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty. But the northwest land within the territory of the Tang Dynasty is by no means comparable to the desolation of the past. Li Er is not a fool. He could tell that although the railway was now only for civilian use. But if a war breaks out, the steam trains on the rails will play a great role. Although cars made of steel cannot be compared with riding horses at the moment. But after all, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Li Eryue thought of this. I couldn't help but doubt my original decision more and more. After struggling in his heart for a moment, he called Changsun Wuji and spoke with a long sigh. "I'm not worried about the northwest under Su Li's current rule." "But I originally thought that it would take more than five years for Northwest to reach its current level." "Maybe fifty years won't be enough." "Did I make a mistake in the enfeoffment?"
Li Er felt somewhat depressed. Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and whispered. "It's not the Holy One's fault. You must know that Su Li is not a good man or woman." "Staying in Chang'an City is actually a constraint on him." "If there is a conflict in the future." "It is actually a kind of damage to the majesty of the Holy One." "What's more, the current development of the northwest is not without benefits to Datang." "As for what will happen in the future...I believe King Yongle has an idea." Changsun Wuji still had some words he didn't say. That is, if he had not made such a decision at the beginning, he might have fallen into a more dangerous situation. As for future matters, let them be solved by people in the future. Moreover, after the overthrow of the Hus, in the final analysis, it was all internal fighting among the Han people. Even if the northwest rebels in the future. If he still misses his old love, he shouldn't embarrass the Li family too much. He really can't see through Su Li now. He has made Northwest look like this in just a few years. If it comes to means, the Holy One may be able to make more concessions than he can. But there is an endless supply of talent and ideas. But it's something else. Li Er calmed down a bit after hearing these words, and after thinking for a while, he spoke. "In that case." "How about making the northwest a tributary state in a few years?"
