Chapter 963: Changes visible to the naked eye
Li Chengqian originally thought that Xuan Shijing would be as excited as before, as he had led troops to Liaodong to fight Goguryeo, and suggested sending troops to defeat Silla directly and completely incorporate the entire Sanhan Peninsula into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Xuan Shijing also proposed plans to him in this way, but unexpectedly, Xuan Shijing's advice to him now would be so stable.
After truly seeing the battlefield like a meat grinder and knowing the value of human life, Xuan Shijing wanted to use strategy to obtain something for the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Xuan Shijing felt that human lives were very valuable, and that was also the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty. As for Silla, if you think about the place occupied by Silla now, you will know who is there in the corresponding future generations. Those people's lives are not valuable. If you can avoid the lives of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, try to avoid it because it is not worth it.
As for Japan, whether it is Xuan Shijing or His Majesty Li Er, they have been coveting the silver mines in Japan for too long. The Tang Dynasty is a country of the Celestial Empire. Even if they are greedy for others, they must have a justification for their own gain.
Now Queen Bao has become Emperor Qiming again and is still flirting with Silla. If Silla fights with the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely ask Japan to send troops to help. As soon as the Japanese navy leaves the port, wouldn’t the flag of the Tang Dynasty’s Justice Division be erected...
Although Xuan Shijing has obtained a lot of high-quality silver from Japan through "engagement" with the three people in Japan over the years, how much is this? He went wherever he went and tried hard to earn it, how could he grab it directly and enjoy it?
Xuan Shijing also held his breath in his heart. You should know that in the later generations, how many things did these turtle grandsons snatched from China from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the eighth year of the War of Resistance?
Xuan Shijing wants to be in the Tang Dynasty, so he should start first!
In fact, no matter whether Japan is honest or not, whether the Tang Dynasty treats her father like her son, Xuan Shijing will not let Japan go. First, it is the national hatred of later generations, and second, the silver mines in Japan are really envious. You should know that the Tang Dynasty has implemented currency reform now, and gold was transported from Taizhou. But Taizhou is close to Chang'an, is there any Japanese that is close to Chang'an? Moreover, there is no silver in Taizhou, and it is troublesome to mine. The silver mine in Japan is a silver mountain!
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty cannot let Japan go. In the future, the precious metals and silver from the Tang Dynasty have to be brought from Japan!
Of course, if Japan does not get involved in Silla's affairs, the Tang Dynasty will have no excuse or reason to attack them, right? So, even if the Tang Dynasty wants to hit them, they will put their necks under the blade of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty just took advantage of the situation to wield it.
For the surrounding areas, the Tang Dynasty is still a righteous teacher, and there will be no harm in the face.
"That's right. Although it is necessary to use war to completely pacify the soldiers in the end, if there is a way, you cannot fill it with the lives of the soldiers. This is correct." Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian was not a tyrant and had to consume the lives of the soldiers. However, in the end, when the fight started, the situation could not be controlled by him, the prince who was firmly sitting in the court. The process of the war depends on the general who was leading troops outside.
"So, wait." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "No matter where the east and west, the more people sent out to inquire about the news, the better, the more hidden, the better, and the most profitable they can be exchanged for the smallest price. This is the most important thing. This can not only be used in business, but also between countries."
Li Chengqian nodded and agreed with what Xuan Shijing said.
"By the way, the battle will definitely be fought in the end. Xiaojing thinks, if the Tang Dynasty fights on the east and west fronts, what is the chance of winning a complete victory?" Li Chengqian asked.
Xuan Shijing shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is a two-line battle after all. Once the war machine is running, it will consume amazingly. Moreover, things on the battlefield change in an instant, no one can predict it. Although I have confidence in the Tang Dynasty, I dare not make a decision."
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully: "Actually, I think that if Xiaojing proposed the movable type printing technique, you need a good opportunity to take out the movable type printing technique. If the Tang Dynasty wins a great victory in the upcoming war, then this will be a good opportunity."
After winning the war, the military will probably briefly suppress the nobles of the aristocratic families. Taking this opportunity to promote movable type printing, the court ordered large-scale printing to lower the price of books. Compared with ordinary times, the resistance at this time will be minimal.
Xuan Shijing thought about it carefully and found that Li Chengqian's idea was very good, and it was not without reason. Of course, the premise was that the Tang army would carry the momentum of thunder to flatten the world and use this momentum to shock the aristocratic families.
"Your Highness is right." Xuan Shijing nodded and agreed with Li Chengqian's statement: "In this case, if you want to print movable type, please block the news privately and let the craftsmen develop it."
"This matter has to be left to the School of Technology. If you want to block the news, there is no better way to block the news than the School of Technology. Moreover, the School of Technology has always been under the supervision of my fourth brother, so I feel at ease." Li Chengqian said.
"Good." Xuan Shijing replied.
"In this case, after you leave the court tomorrow, you go to see your father. The palace will discuss this matter with your fourth brother in this Xuanzheng Hall." Li Chengqian said.
Now Xuan Shijing can clearly feel the huge change of Li Chengqian. He had never felt this way half a year ago, but now, Li Chengqian's changes are obvious. It is to sit in that position to train people. Seeing that Li Chengqian is now arranged with reason and orderly.
Xuan Shijing felt a sense of relief in his heart.
With a helpless smile, why did I look like an old mother...
Two things were clearly arranged by Li Chengqian. Xuan Shijing only needed to go to the harem after the morning court tomorrow to meet His Majesty Li Er, and then go to the Institute of Technology for a trip.
I have to go to the Institute of Technology to meet craftsmen and teach craftsmen the printing of movable type. Moreover, it is estimated that after Li Tai comes out of Xuanzheng Hall, he will also go to the Institute of Technology. Xuan Shijing will meet Li Tai at the Institute of Technology.
After coming out of Xuanzheng Hall, standing on the steps outside the hall, looking at the towering Hanyuan Hall in front of Xuanzheng Hall, Xuan Shijing sighed.
The storm is coming, what path will the Tang Dynasty take in the future?
In short, it is just a good development. Even if there is war, the current Tang Dynasty will never lose.
Therefore, the subsequent printing of movable type is unstoppable.
