Chapter 1767 The helplessness of the times

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the entire Liaodong, or the entire Northeast, have undergone other changes.

I don’t know if it should be said it was good or not.

In short, Dae Jo-young, who reported on his job in the Shangjing, felt that his behavior of trying to enter Liaodong in the past was quite a bit of a mess.

"How about it? From the northeast to Chang'an, isn't the journey exhausted?" In the study, Li Chengqian ordered someone to bring tea to Dae Jo-young and asked with a standard smile.

There is no way, and the habit has been developed, but it can't be changed back. Every day, he receives a large number of officials who come to Beijing to report on his duties, which makes His Royal Highness smile with a little cramped face, and it's a bit difficult to be serious.

"I'm tired when I go back to Your Highness. Now the railway is about to be built to Shencheng. I've been here by train all the way." Dae Jo-young took the tea and said humbly.

"Well, I also know this. A good thing, this is a good thing, and you have made an indelible contribution in it!" Lee Seung-kan nodded and looked at Dae Jo-young and said.

"Your Highness has praised it. Everything is what Dae Jo-young should do." Dae Jo-young smiled apologized and continued with tea: "I was ignorant at the time, but I was actually thinking about stealing Liaodong. Now looking back on the past, I feel ashamed!"

"Forget it, don't mention the old things. In life, who hasn't been impulsive for a few times? As long as you do more things in the future and think about the causes and consequences!"

"Yes, I respect the order!" Dae Jo-young agreed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the first half of the year, he had a lot of trouble in Liaodong, causing great damage to Liaodong. This time he went to Beijing, he was even mentally prepared to be beheaded.

But he didn't expect that he could pass the test so easily, which was something he never expected.

"Dae Jo-young, tell me what you think about the construction of the Northeast. What do you think is the one you lack the most?" After finishing the previous cliché, Lee Seung-qian brought the topic back to normal.

No matter what, the prince is far away from the Northeast. He has never been in the Northeast in his previous life. He is not very familiar with the situation there. Many things are mostly imaginary elements for him.

Now that Dae Jo-young is the Northeast "landlord", he naturally needs to ask clearly, otherwise he will sit on it and pat his forehead and think about things. If he makes a mistake, he will be a joke.

"Your Highness, I do have some ideas. If you are wrong, please give me advice." Dae Jo-young had some preparations before coming this time. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Highness, I think the most important thing to develop in the Northeast is the tourism industry."

"Puff, travel?" Li Chengqian never expected that the guy in front of him was so thoughtful, and his thoughts were so advanced. He actually thought of the tourism industry at this time?

However, Dae Jo-young seemed to have thought about it, and then continued to say, "Your Highness, the train has now reached Shencheng. When I came, I saw many wealthy businessmen from the Central Plains at the station. They were very curious about Liaodong and the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, and they all wanted to go over and take a look."

"But when they got there, they found that they didn't know where they should go or what they should see. So I think we should make something that can be watched in some special places and monumental places."

"For example, Da'an City, the places where the remains of millions of fallen soldiers were buried, and some famous mountains and rivers, like Changbai Mountain, we can try to develop them for people who go to the Northeast to visit."

Li Chengqian had to admit that the guy in front of him was really too advanced, and he actually thought of this problem in advance. Originally, Li Chengqian planned to spend more than ten or twenty years to do these things. After all, the people of the Tang Dynasty were rich at that time and had spare money. With convenient means of transportation like trains, traveling would become their main goal when they were leisure.

However, Dae Jo-young actually thought of this problem immediately after seeing some wealthy businessmen at the station. I have to say that this guy can be regarded as a standard talent.

But after all, Lee Seung-chan finally did not agree to Dae Jo-young's request. After all, it is a bit too early to engage in the tourism industry, and investment is completely out of proportion to returns. Instead of investing money in those meaningless things, it is better to do some serious things.

So Lee Seung-kan just nodded unanimously to the idea proposed by Dae Jo-young, and then asked: "So how is the mine where you are? Is there any progress?"

"The mine is still under construction, two iron ore, one copper ore, and the other is a coal mine. Now it is only the early stage, and the production is not large while building," Dae Jo-young replied calmly.

"Okay, sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood. You are right to do this. Remember to do a good job of safety. I don't want to hear news of landslides every now and then." Li Chengqian couldn't help but remind him when he thought of some mine landslide cases in later generations.

For some nobles or officials of the Tang Dynasty, human lives are the least valuable, and few people care about it. It is their normal habit to report good news or bad news.

Every year, we report how much coal and how much copper were dug, but how many people died were hidden.

This is something Li Chengqian didn't want to see. When he is at his current position, he can finally understand how important it is to seek truth from facts.

Those officials who reported good news but not bad news may not be for the purpose of not wanting to worry the superiors, or for their own interests, but this is unfair to the people of Tai Tang and the future of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why all dynasties in the past were destroyed was that the people below reported good news but not bad news. The people above just liked to listen to some pleasant things and hated some unfavorable news.

It is precisely because of this that the accumulated dissatisfaction among the people gradually fermented, and eventually led to the outbreak of rebellion.

Dae Jo-young actually disregarded Lee Seung-ki's advice in his heart.

In his opinion, those who live at the bottom of society serve the upper class, and their life or death is actually not important.

Of course, there are some historical and insightful limitations here, but it is undeniable that his ideas are exactly what most people in the Tang Dynasty think.

And this majority refers to everyone except Li Chengqian.

Even Lao Li, who often talks about water can carry boats, actually does not really take all the poor people in the world to heart. He is also shouting slogans with the intention of making use of it.
