I think back to when I first came to this world.
Li Chengqian felt that there was only darkness in front of him.
He was even more confused about his future.
He doesn’t know how to take the future, let alone whether he will eat that three-hit combo meal as fate dictates. ??
At that time, he lived almost all day under the shadow of the possibility of dying at any time.
Now more than ten years have passed.
Whether it is his wealth, status, or his right to speak in the court, it has reached a level that he could not even imagine at the beginning.
Of course, those are not important compared to the people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty today.
And this is what makes him most gratified, at least these years have not been wasted in vain.
He truly fulfilled the promise he made to himself and allowed the people of the Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment.
When he thought of this, Li Chengqian suddenly stopped and then raised his head and looked straight at the sky.
No.
He has not yet made it possible for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment.
After all, there is still a giant in the West that is eyeing it, and we don’t know when it will make a comeback.
Although he didn't know why the so-called Ansa Empire rose in such a short period of time.
But he can also feel that this is definitely related to his rebirth in this era.
At the very least, it was because of his appearance that the butterfly effect was created.
What he has to do now is to solve this threat for Datang and the people of Datang.
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly.
To be honest, he actually didn't have a clue about this.
Although under his single-handed promotion, the current Tang Dynasty has already entered the industrial age.
But on the other hand, the industrial age is just the beginning.
After that, there will be the era of science and technology that really brings human civilization to brilliance.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Thinking about it this way, I really have a long way to go."
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed: "Nu After so many years of hard work, now it’s just the beginning…”
"What just started?"
Just when Li Chengqian was talking to himself.
A cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian didn't even show the slightest surprise.
After all, that guy has been following me like this for many years.
At this moment, Li Chengqian just said slowly: "What else could it be?"
"Of course, making the people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment is just the beginning."
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan, who was following Li Chengqian, curled his lips in disdain.
She looked straight at Li Chengqian and said, "I think you are showing off to me."
"show off?"
Li Chengqian's face was full of confusion.
But when I suddenly thought about it, I also reacted.
Indeed, at first glance, his words sounded like he was showing off.
Because of his existence, the people of Tang Dynasty no longer need to worry about food and drink.
Because of his existence, the people of Tang Dynasty did not need to worry about powerful enemies coming to invade their country.
Of course, because of his existence, Datang has now entered complete light industrialization.
A series of light industrial products, paper, cloth, and a series of daily necessities are already so cheap that ordinary people cannot imagine.
But are these enough?
not enough.
At least in Li Chengqian's opinion, it was far from enough.
"In your opinion, the Tang Dynasty is already very grand.",
"But you have to know that there are people outside the world."
“This trip to the Western Turks really opened my eyes.”
"There was a time when I was just like you, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that no one could defeat it."
"At least in
In the next thousand years, no country will be able to compete with us."
"But what's the result?"
Li Chengqian spread his hands and said: "We have cannons, and others also have them. We have muskets, and others have even more."
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan pursed her lips. .??.
"Maybe you are right."
"But we still won, didn't we?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but lower his head and smile bitterly.
"Indeed, we won this battle."
"But who can know what kind of opponent our soldiers faced back then?"
"Even if I promoted some changes before, even if I improved the artillery and muskets."
"Let our technology and weapons be able to crush them."
"But in the end, we still fought this battle for nearly four months."
"But have you ever thought about it? What if not?"
Li Chengqian said: "What would be the result if I didn't promote those changes and just kept on thinking that I was strong?"
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan's body also trembled.
She looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "This battle will be even more difficult for us, right?"
"It's not just difficult, even..."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "There's a chance I won't be able to come back..."
"impossible!"
What Yuan Yuan said was very absolute.
She frowned and said, "If anyone can't come back, I won't let you not come back."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"I know you will risk your life to protect me."
"But there is only one Yuan Yuan, but there are many people who need protection in this world."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Can you save everyone?"
"Not to mention whether you want to or not, even if you want to, you can't save me."
"As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, my duty is to protect them." Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "So, I want to build a steel power and a country that no one dares to take a second look at."
"Only in this way can all the countries in the world be intimidated."
"Only in this way can the great powers regard us, the Tang Dynasty, as the best in the world."
Hearing Li Chengqian's heroic words, Yuan Yuan was a little lost in thought.
She looked straight at Li Chengqian and said nothing for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What? You don't believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it."
Yuan Yuan came back to her senses, turned away and said: "I just think that it will be very hard for you, at least harder than now."
"I know too."
"And I'm also afraid of getting tired."
"But who said I was born into an emperor's family, who said I was Li Shimin's son?"
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said: "With such an identity and being respected by people all over the world, I must shoulder that responsibility."
"That being said, you seem quite helpless."
Yuan Yuan curled her lips, then took the reins from Li Chengqian's hand and said: "Otherwise, I will help you kill all those people, so you don't have to worry about anything."
"If you kill Zhang San today, you will kill Li Si tomorrow."
"You can't kill them all."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "And if it is possible, do you still need to do it?"
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan didn't say anything.
She just turned her head and glanced at Li Chengqian, with an imperceptible look of distress flashing in her eyes.
But soon, she returned to normal.
Then, she said coldly towards Li Chengqian: "If you want to be so tired, then just go and be tired."
"I can't control it, and I'm too lazy to care about you..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also laughed out loud.
He naturally squeezed Yuan Yuan's hand and said: "You girl, from now on, just hide behind your man, and stop shouting to kill..."
