"The Empire does not set?"

This is the first time Li Zhi has heard this word.

However, just literally, it gave him a very big impact.

"Yes, I hope the Tang Dynasty can become an empire that does not set. No matter when it is, the Tang Dynasty has territory shining under the sun.

When I was watching Shishan Academy before, you also knew very well that the theory that the earth was round.

The reason we have day and night is because the earth revolves around the sun.

The side where the sphere is facing away from the sun is the night, and the day is the day.

If the territory of our Tang Dynasty is available in every part of the earth, whether it is the day or night of Chang'an City, there is a territory under the sun, wouldn't it be like the sun is not set?"

Li Kuan explained to Li Zhi the concept of the Empire that the Sun never sets.

"Aren't you worried that after many royal children were enthroned overseas, they would have the idea and action to establish a country alone over time?

By then, these lands are far away from Chang'an City. If the other party intends to block the news, it may have been several years since the country was established, and there is no way to know the situation here in Chang'an City."

The problem mentioned by Li Zhi is almost an unsolvable problem.

Even Li Kuan himself is not sure that there will be no prince or other forces in the future and will not rebel overseas.

It can even be said that rebellion is inevitable.

The difference is when there will be human rebellion and how large the scale of the rebellion is.

"The worry you mentioned is true. But as long as the local attractiveness of the Tang Dynasty is strong enough and the Tang Dynasty navy is strong enough, then this situation can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Moreover, in order to correspond to such a situation, we do nothing.

Whether it is Puluozhong, Yongping Port, or some other ports, they will be distributed all over the world, stationed in the Tang Dynasty Navy and Army.

As long as the Tang Dynasty controls these key nodes, it can ensure the stability of various places to the greatest extent."

In a short period of time, Li Kuan was not worried about anyone overseas who wanted to build a country alone.

For these people, if they want to live a good life, they must trade with foreign trade.

The Tang Navy controlled the ocean, and unless they could achieve self-sufficiency, it would be impossible not to start maritime trade.

Rebellion is to make life better. If this effect is not achieved, everyone's enthusiasm will naturally be poor.

"At that time, you would let the eldest brother and fifth brother go to Australia and the West, just to let them develop the places in Australia and the West?"

Li Zhi already knew that he had no hope of rising in the Tang Dynasty.

But if you can make some contributions overseas, you will have more expectations in life.

After all, no matter what he did, his love for the Tang Dynasty did not change.

"That's right! Changsun Wuji proposed to enfeoff the children of the royal family to go overseas, but I did not object, and this is the reason.

The world you see is too small, and there is still a lot of room to develop outside.

Relying solely on our current development speed, many places will have nothing to do with our Tang Dynasty after another hundred years.

But if more children of the royal family can go overseas, they can build a prefecture and county belonging to our Tang people in the local area.

In the long run, it is of great significance to our Tang Dynasty.

Even if the power in these places is established alone in the future, they will belong to a Tang country, not the Dashi Empire or other nations."

Li Kuan was very clear that the forces represented by the descendants of the Great Food Empire and the descendants of various Europa kingdoms occupied almost all places in the world except East Asia.

Even some so-called independent countries are affected by these forces, which are considered to be their traditional sphere of influence.

For example, the disconnection between Africa and France and Britain is definitely not about partitioning.

Li Kuan hopes that in the future, the Tang people can become an existence who truly controls the discourse power of this world.

"Okay! Brother, I've been to this Jinshan Port! And I will definitely build Jinshan Port as prosperous as the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty.

If you have the chance, in more than ten years, I hope you can also go to Kingsoft Port to take a look. I will definitely not disappoint you at that time."

After all, Li Zhi was only a young man in his twenties. After accepting reality, he was fooled by Li Kuan's concept of "the sun never sets in the empire", and his whole state immediately became different.

"No problem! If you can build a country independent of the Tang Dynasty with Jinshan Port as the center, I don't object!"

According to Li Kuan's idea, the Tang Dynasty should be an empire with the existing territory as the center, appropriately expanding around, and then having many strongholds overseas.

But this empire that does not set sun does not mean to include the entire earth in its actual rule.

In many places, there can still be independent countries.

Otherwise, without comparison, the Tang people would not be able to find a sense of superiority.

Without other countries, you can’t find a partner if you want to exploit them.

The blind pursuit of turning all land into prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty was not Li Kuan's goal, nor was it completely in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

"No, no! Brother, I definitely have no idea of ​​establishing a country overseas. If I had such an idea, it would be hard to die if I struck by lightning."

After hearing Li Kuan's words, Li Zhi's face turned pale again.

It was just too late to relieve my mood, but it immediately became unbeautiful again.

In his opinion, Li Kuan's words were definitely testing himself.

If I really say that I want to establish a country overseas, will I disappear without any clarity on the way to Jinshan Port?

Then you will not see anyone in your life or corpses in your death.

Even if you want to be bad, people will be thrown into the sea to feed sharks. How to check?

Li Zhi, who has regained hope for the future, obviously does not want such an ending.

"Zhi Nu, I'm just making an example, you don't have to be so excited. America is so big, and it's not only you who can go there.

Whether it is Jinshan Port or other ports, people have successively visited gold in recent years, or hunted and killed bison, transported cowhide, horns, beef jerky, etc. back to the Tang Dynasty for sale.

So when you go to America, whether you can develop Kingsoft Port smoothly under the pressure of these competitors is a big problem.

Do you really think you want to build a country?

Unless you close the door yourself and become king in your own yard, that's boring!"

To be honest, Li Kuan is really not worried about what tricks Li Zhi can do overseas.

Although after years of promotion and influence, going to sea is no longer so scared.

But as long as there is a good place to go in the Tang Dynasty, few people are willing to go out to sea.

Not many of those adventurers who take the initiative to go out to sea are easy to get along with.

Even if Li Zhi brought thousands of troops from the East Palace to the Americas at that time, it would not take more than ten years, or even decades to achieve development.

As for what happened decades later, Li Kuan felt that under his leadership, the Tang Dynasty did not have to worry about any other place overseas that would want to establish an independent country.

The Tang Dynasty, which leads the direction of scientific and technological development, will surely become the center of the world and the destination for outstanding talents in all countries.

"Brother, you are right, so I will never think about whether to establish a country or not.

It is already a very valuable thing to be able to build a good port for our Tang Dynasty overseas.

I heard that there is a Puluo Midtown in Nanyang, which is a big city comparable to Yangzhou and Dengzhou.

I hope that in the future, Jinshan Port can become a benchmark for the Tang Dynasty overseas like Puluozhong."

There was a rare trace of perseverance on Li Zhi's face.
