Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

A poet once said that the greatest glory in life is not in never falling, but in being able to rise again after every fall.

In fact, for a nation, perhaps the greatest glory is not that it will never fall, but that it will never perish, even if it is temporarily thrown away, temporarily lagged behind, and temporarily beaten for being backward, but as long as you give Give him a little time, and he'll thrive again until he reaches the top again.

It is undeniable that hard work and tenacity are of course very good qualities, but Li Xin always feels regretful when he thinks that such qualities come from the limitations of natural conditions. It's like it's not a bad thing for children to be sensible, but the reason why children are so sensible is because the family is too poor and they have to learn to mature early. This of course makes people somewhat uncomfortable.

Who doesn't want to live comfortably? Who is born without diligence and discomfort, and who will die if he doesn't work hard? Why can the monkeys in Champa have such good seeds, but the farmers in Huaxia have to work all year round, and they can only eat half full? It doesn't make sense!

Every time Li Xin thought of these things, he felt depressed.

Although Datang has improved somewhat in the past two years, the shadow of famine still hangs over Datang—you must know that the complete eradication of famine in China happened in a very, very distant future, which is what Li Xin is familiar with. of future generations.

Before that era, in any dynasty in the history of China, even in the most favorable year, a considerable number of people would still face the threat of famine, or even starve to death. Datang is no exception.

The fundamental problem of this situation lies in the lack of productivity, which cannot be solved in a day, two days, a year or two years. What it needs is to sow science day after day to make it the strongest engine for China's development. This is the way to cure the root cause. It is also what Li Xin wants to do.

However, there may be something else that can be done before this ultimate goal is accomplished. Although treating the symptoms is not the root cause, it is an immeasurable merit to be able to feed a few more people!

"How do you know I've been thinking about this?" Li Xin couldn't suppress the joy on his face, and said to Chen Xiao, "How did you do it?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Listen to what Xin Heng said. When I was struggling with what to get as a gift, he sent me a letter saying that there is a very magical rice in Champa. If I can get this rice Seeds as a gift, he said you will be so happy."

"Indeed!" Li Xin said excitedly, "I really almost went crazy."

Chen Xiao laughed out loud. In fact, he still didn't say a word - when Li Xin is happy, Youlan will be happy, this is the most important point.

"No. Didn't Zhancheng refuse to give the seeds?" Li Xin was still a little puzzled. He had thought of a way, but it didn't work. He even once thought that if he wanted to get Champa rice, he had to let the Tang army overthrow Champa first, and it would be possible to overthrow the king of Champa. Unexpectedly, it was solved by Chen Xiao silently.

Chen Xiao said in a very casual tone: "I found a few relatives to sneak into Champa and stole it back."

Li Xin couldn't help laughing, and immediately gave a thumbs up, praising: "Good steal! Good steal!"
