Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

In Zhang Nuo's vision, the Central Plains in the future will be a large agglomeration of culture, commerce, politics, entertainment, and technology, and all polluting and resource-intensive enterprises will be relocated overseas.

It is enough to have some light industry in the Tang Dynasty, and heavy industry should not come to harm. What we are playing is wisdom and culture.

As long as we stick to this road, then Datang will definitely walk on a road of prosperity and strength!

And when culture, technology, and materials have all developed to a certain level, there is no need to worry about rebellion at all. This advanced culture itself has a kind of centripetal force, which will attract others to move closer to this side.

As for other matters, Zhang Nuo didn't care, he only provided general ideas and help, but after all, he was not the emperor, so Li Shimin should worry about those matters.

After figuring out the way Datang would go next, Zhang Nuo also heaved a sigh of relief, quietly poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

The development of Datang’s national power, in fact, can be done slowly, the path has been found, and the rest is actually quite simple, just follow this path unswervingly.

The current Datang mainly develops in several aspects, one is the increase of population, which can be stimulated through the population incentive policy.

At the same time, we need to think more about medicine and education. At least we can’t get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen like now. For women, it’s a life gamble, or murder to put it bluntly.

At the same level as the increase in the population, there is no doubt that the improvement in the level of education, which is really important for Zhang Nuo's future plans.

If the overall quality of the people cannot be improved, how can we talk about the development of culture, entertainment, commerce and even scientific research industries?

These things are actually closely related to education. Only after a large number of people enter the school to study, can we discover outstanding talents from among them.

At the same time, only when the cultural quality of the whole people is improved, can they really start a prosperous age where a hundred flowers bloom. Without high-quality citizens, no one will be able to understand those stories and colorful dances.

At the same time, with the continuous emergence of these talents who received modern knowledge education since childhood, Datang will have more and more people stationed in other places to serve as officials, teachers, businessmen, and soldiers.

It can be said that education and population are the basic national policies for the development of Datang in the next few decades.

With these two points in place, Zhang Nuo had to consider other things, especially the military strength. This was the confidence for whether Datang could expand its territory and deter other countries in the future.

Zhang Nuo's original idea was to swallow up the entire subcontinent within a year and a half after fighting Fusang, from Yunnan and Guizhou to the Straits of Malacca, and bring them all under Datang's command.

The large population and resources there will become the combustion aid of Datang to help Datang develop further, and the soil there is indeed a good place for planting.

But when Zhang Nuo stood on the land of Fusang and started to plan the whole Fusang, he smiled wryly and found that the current Datang could not swallow such a big place at all.

It's not that Datang is incapable of defeating it, but that after it is defeated, there will be no manpower or resources to manage and develop it.

After all, this is not to say that it is enough to send one or two people there, even if the opponent is hurt and scared, but if there is no long-term garrison of troops and no reasonable planning, then that land will only become a chaotic place. Constantly devouring Datang's support, and will not in turn give Datang blood transfusion.

Zhang Nuo understands this very clearly. Even if it is recruiting soldiers from the local area or militarizing management, it requires a large number of local soldiers to participate in it. The current Datang has the territory of Koryo that is being digested. And after the enclave of Fusang is still in the mouth, there is really no extra military and national power to occupy and digest a new territory.

What's more, this piece of land is not a star and a half. In terms of real area, although it is not comparable to Datang, it is actually much larger than Koryo and Fusang combined!

So how many troops and officials are required to participate in such a large area of ​​land? Are you sure Datang can afford such a large burden?

It was precisely because of this thought that Zhang Nuo finally gave up his ambition to develop other sites in a short time. Datang should develop itself honestly. After a few years to digest the fruits of victory in recent years, the national strength will rise again After a step, it was time for Datang to show his fangs again.

Chapter 801 The Beginning of the Great Tang Dynasty

The early spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan seems to be no different from previous years, but those who have not been to Chang'an for many years, or those who have left Chang'an for too long, will always be amazed at the changes in Chang'an today.

If you ask these people how Chang'an City has changed from earlier years, their first reaction will definitely be that it has become cleaner and more lively.

That's right, cleanliness and liveliness are the deepest impressions of Chang'an City so far.

Maybe it was because the Lantian City right next to it was too dazzling, or maybe the bosses living in Chang'an City couldn't take it anymore.

So in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin’s internal funds took out a sum, and the national treasury took out a sum, and then the nobles at the top of the court each contributed a sum, pooled a large sum of money, and everyone partnered to make the entire Chang’an The city was refurbished.

This renovation of Chang'an City is mainly aimed at the road surface, greening, and drainage and sewage!

Good guy, most people have never seen that kind of scene. The whole [-]th Square of Chang'an City has completely become a big construction site, everywhere is chaotic, and everywhere is dug to pieces, but after it is done, everyone has to applaud .

The road surface has become a flat concrete pavement, with tree-lined isolation belts on both sides, followed by wide sidewalks.

Chang'an City has the spirit of Chang'an City. The two-way 24-lane road in later generations is already very scary. When it comes to Chang'an City, Suzaku Avenue is now two-way [-]-lane. Weigh it, after all, there are quite a lot of carriages coming and going on this road.

Not only the road surface has been remodeled, but even the shops on both sides of the street have been remodeled a lot. With the appearance of glass more and more common, especially Zhang Nuo's several stores have been further expanded, and the floor-to-ceiling windows have been used for the first time in Chang'an City. After the "aggressive" design.

Well, anyone who does high-end business in the entire city of Chang'an, if they don't have floor-to-ceiling windows, it's like they can't be a human being. They just let Zhang Nuo's glass factory earn a lot of money.

But it’s not bad. The floor-to-ceiling windows are just transparent. You can see the street view when you sit inside, and you can have a panoramic view of the inside when you stand outside. There are too many benefits.

Of course, you can close the curtains if you don’t want outsiders to see it. Every family has this thing.

In addition to these obvious things, looking at the details, we can see many different things. First of all, there are more people in the entire Chang'an City.

And not only is there a crowd of people wherever you go, but more importantly, if you compare it with previous years, careful people will find that there are several times more people wearing various national costumes.

At the same time, there are more shops and vendors on the street. Thanks to the more and more scientific and rigorous urban management, the city appearance is much cleaner, but the prosperity is indeed increased visible to the naked eye.

Nowadays, the people in Chang'an City, more or less, either have a small business at home, or work in the workshop.

In the past few years, the weather has been smooth for Datang, the national strength is booming, and there is no one around who can fight.

The vigorous development of the domestic economy naturally requires the prosperity of all walks of life. After all, after everyone has some money in their pockets, consumption will naturally increase.

Changes in the relationship between supply and demand are actually the most sensitive to the market. Maybe at this time there are no such professional terms and indexes in later generations, but it is actually very simple to understand whether the market is prosperous or not. Just look at two things. up.

The most worth knowing is the tax. When the tax is rising every year, it is naturally booming. Another word is the transaction volume in the market.

When the trading volume has been on an upward trend and there are more and more types of transactions, it actually means that the overall economic situation is getting better and better.

These things are now very clear to the household department of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the officials who studied, practiced and graduated from Lantian City have slowly moved to the court and the local government. What they brought is not only a new batch of manpower, It is also the acquaintance and understanding of the New Deal.

Today's Datang is a bit like the old Lantian City when it was first established. Everything is full of vitality, but occasionally it is a bit hectic.
