Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Why are you sighing?" Li Ke looked at him and said speechlessly.

"Hey, actually, I don't think Qinghai will become the center of the Tang Dynasty. It is probably a state in a remote area. At least it won't be that important." Qiao Shiwang said with a sigh.

"Why do you say that?" Li Ke was a little curious.

"It's very simple. The geographical location and the environment determine the upper limit here. Although there is Hehuang Valley in the east that can be cultivated, it is limited to this. Some minerals are not expected to be particularly large, mainly because compared to other states. Particularly outstanding."

"In addition, there are a large number of Gobi deserts in the west and southwest, and the Xinjiang Prefecture connected to this area is also an area with harsh climates such as Ruoqiang, and there is a deserted desert in the middle."

"Under such conditions, it is difficult to become a transit point connecting with the west. It can be seen from the dilapidation of the southern line of the Silk Road that the impact on the environment is very large."

"Because these small countries in the south of Xinjiang, the population of each city in the Tang Dynasty is not large, the population is not large, and the business will not be too prosperous. Less."

"After the construction of the railway from Longyou Road, the place will be even more deserted. It is estimated that Qinghai Road will develop self-sufficiently for a long time."

Qiao Shiwang sighed and said, "Although the current development of Qinghai is relatively fast within the scope of the entire Tang Dynasty, its position in the future determines that it will not be too important."

Qiao Shiwang's words silenced Li Ke for a moment, because what Qiao Shiwang said was the truth, because some things can be seen with the naked eye.

Even if Datang wins the land going to the Western Regions, such as Persia, Dashi and other places, Qinghai will not become an important transit center.

From the west side of the border, the best roads of several routes are not close to Qinghai, and its environment is too harsh. Whether it is to build official roads or railways, it requires a lot of maintenance.

Therefore, the railways and official roads in the early stage were built as far as Chihai City at most, and they would definitely not extend to the west.

The vast Gobi Desert is no joke.

As for mineral resources, Datang is not short of them now, or in other words, there will be quite a lot of resources that Datang will discover in the future, and the mineral resources in these harsh climate areas will definitely not be developed immediately.

Therefore, Qiao Shiwang's statement is correct from a certain point of view. In Qinghai, even Li Ke himself can't think of a possibility that it can develop.

It’s like voting for a question on the Internet in future generations. The province with the least sense of existence is recognized by everyone. Qinghai does not dare to be the first, but it is definitely in the top three. It is estimated that Qinghai Province in future generations is not as famous as Qinghai Lake. is a name.

And the current Datang, Qinghai prefecture is probably the same, because it is too featureless.At any rate, Tibet can still become a yearning place for literary and artistic youth, the third pole in the world, and the accumulation of some identities can attract a large number of tourists.

In Tibet more than 1000 years later, it is estimated that bloggers who play self-media are almost catching up with the number of real tourists.

Xinjiang, on the other hand, is sparsely populated and has all kinds of beautiful scenery, which Qinghai does not have, so its low-key is obvious.

It is estimated that Ningxia can compete with Qinghai, but Ningxia is small, so there is no way.

Seeing Li Ke hesitate, Qiao Shiwang knew he had guessed it, and he continued to speak.

"It seems that what I said is right, but I don't care. Your Highness, you can't let the people you support down. Give them some policies." Qiao Shiwang said with a smile.

Li Ke looked at him speechlessly: "Look at what you said, which of the people of Datang is not a citizen of Datang, they must all be the same, policy, what policy should I provide? The policy that should be, here Definitely a lot of the same."

"In fact, I have already arranged a lot of things here, otherwise, many things here may be even more backward, such as weapon research and several mines, I have already arranged them here."

"The other thing is breeding and seed cultivation. In the future, Datang's agronomy experts will definitely come here for training."

With regard to seed breeding and other issues, one of the reasons why it was arranged in the Hehuang Valley is because the people here are more obedient, and they obey Li Keyan. If they are asked to grow some food, they will not encounter too much resistance.

This point is very important for issues such as breeding that are now in their infancy.

"Okay, hehe, didn't I just offer an opinion? If you don't think it's okay, then follow Datang's policy." Qiao Shiwang smiled and said.

"Well, we can build a large military training site and exercise site in Qinghai." Li Ke thought for a while and said, the soldiers stationed here in Qinghai have played a huge role in controlling Qinghai-Tibet and Xinjiang.

In the future, more troops from the Tang Dynasty will come here for training. It is reasonable to say, or it is also possible to directly set up Qinghai as the main military region of the Western Theater of the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, then it's settled." Qiao Shiwang said directly, "Sanlang, how long are you planning to stay this time?"

"The Chinese New Year is over. This time, I'm here to celebrate the Chinese New Year with the people of Qinghai." Li Ke said.

"Yes, but the conditions here are not as good as Chang'an, even if it's New Year's Eve, don't dislike it then." Qiao Shiwang said with a smile.

"What do I dislike? It's not as good as Chang'an. I can transport it here. The only cost is the freight. As for the freight, as long as it is earned by the people, I don't care." Li Ke said lightly.

Transportation to this side in winter can only be done by land, because the Yellow River will be closed in winter.

"San Lang is very generous, it looks like I will have a good year this year." Qiao Shiwang said with emotion.

"Don't even think about it, let me tell you, just wait and run outside with me during the Chinese New Year this year." Li Ke said lightly, I will not have a good year this year, do you want to have a good year?What are you thinking.

Going out to condolences in winter in this era is really a careless one that may kill you.

Qiao Shiwang: "..."

"And, let me tell you, in the future, you local officials don't even think about taking a bath every year during the Chinese New Year. It would be nice if you could have seven days of the [-]-day holiday."

"For the remaining seven days, you all go outside to give me condolences, and go to the countryside to find out the problem. Some things can only be deeply felt when you go to the countryside and the people's homes." Li Ke said again.

Qiao Shiwang: "..."

"No, Your Highness, why do you think you just took over the job of a prince who supervises the country, can't you have fun? Aren't you tired from being the supervisor of the country?" Qiao Shiwang even changed his title.
