Chapter 455 The New Deal Sets Sail

"The queen obviously still didn't believe it. I didn't believe it at the beginning, but recently, some news has vaguely shown that there are at least several countries with similar strength to the Tang Dynasty on the other side of the distant ocean. However, they should not know the existence of the Tang Dynasty now. Another point is that they, like the Tang Dynasty, have not yet put their energy on naval armies and manufacturing warships."

There are some things that Li Qing couldn't say in the court, and even if he was to Zhang Xun and the others, it was not easy to say. After all, he had no evidence. For such a big thing, even if he was the emperor, it would be difficult for people to believe without evidence.

However, Li Qing can say that there is no evidence to guess his queen, otherwise these things would have been kept in his heart, and Li Qing was afraid of causing his mentality to be abnormal, and in the end if he became a tyrant, it would be a bit unworthy of the loss.

"Your Majesty is worried that in a few years, the development of these forces will be stronger than that of our Tang Dynasty?"

"This is natural, so the Tang Dynasty must continue to develop. I was indeed a little tired before, so I gave myself this month's leave, just to accompany you and the little prince. Recently, many courts have persuaded me to make him the crown prince. I wonder how the queen thought about this matter?"

Li Neng believes that Zhang Mingyue must have heard of many people in the court that they proposed to make the little prince Li Qianshan the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In principle, this matter should not be discussed with her, because according to common sense, any mother wants her prince to be the crown prince. Isn’t it a fool if she doesn’t want it?

But Li Qing knew that without the third concubine entering his Tai Chi Palace, the good relationship between the three of them would definitely not be easily broken, and Zhang Mingyue knew very well how he, a prince who was not the prince, got the throne step by step.

"Your Majesty is only thirty years old this year, why should you rush to establish a crown prince? Besides, Qianshan is only a baby for several months, and what he will do in the future is still unknown. If you have a hurry to establish a crown prince, you may have trouble. Your Majesty has just sat in the position of the crown prince for a few days. The reason is that your Majesty is more talented than your brother? For the same thing, Your Majesty does not want to appear on the next generation, so Your Majesty just refuses them and doesn't have to consider my thoughts."

Zhang Mingyue had obviously seen it. The reason why Li Qing asked her this was just because she was afraid that she would be angry.

Zhang Mingyue cherishes Li Nian's decades of love for him. Even though Li Nian went to the south once and brought Feng Yi back, Feng Yi was still a woman from a different race, but Zhang Mingyue still kept the secret of Feng Yi's identity until now.

This is actually useless for her. In the future, Li Qianshan may have a child because Li Qing and Feng Yi gave birth to a child, but in Zhang Mingyue's heart, these obviously do not matter.

"Okay, but I hope he is a child who can inherit my legacy, but that is not a good thing. The title of Emperor is not a simple thing! For example, after I relaxed for this period of time, I will be busy with the matter of the new policy. I have heard that before I ascended the throne, Liu Yan had quite some research on the matter of the canal. After I ascended the throne, he was still studying the canal transport except for the affairs in the court. I am going to start with the first shot of this new policy. I wonder what the queen thinks?"

"Cache Transport? Could it be that His Majesty had said before that once implemented, the food problem in the pass will be greatly solved?"

"Yes, the most obvious function of the canal transport is the grain in the pass. Although it has other uses, it can only be discovered after it is implemented. Now several unstable factors in the government have been removed. I am thinking about starting with the canal transport and seeing how difficult it is to implement the new policy."

Li Neng is not a novice in history. He knew that in the history of his previous life, no matter which dynasty you were in, as long as it is linked to the word "New Deal", it will be quite difficult to implement.

Because new things will touch the vested interests of many people you cannot see before, they often arouse many unexpected resistances, so almost all the well-known new policy promoters in the history of previous lives have no good ending.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the monarch's unstable willpower. Li Yan believed that he was not the kind of monarch with weak willpower, because his ability to withstand pressure in front of court officials has been proven.

"Your Majesty is thinking about something, then do it, because your Majesty is not just thinking about himself. As soon as the new policy is released, the people of my Tang Dynasty are still the ones who benefit from it!"

Li Qing nodded slightly. Indeed, these things are not for himself, but who is he for in this era?

Perhaps it was the conversation that made Li Qing make up his mind that as he was about to end his month-long rest, he found Liu Yan and explained directly to him that he wanted to start the reform of the canal transportation.

The canal transport is to transport the grain from the Jianghuai River to Chang'an and even the entire official quilt. A few years ago, the canal transport was slackened due to wars in various places, causing food difficulties in Guanzhong, with millions of stones of food shortages, famines and food prices soaring.

It just so happened that Liu Yan was a local official for a period of time and had a relatively good understanding and sympathy for the sufferings of the people.

Because of this, he was anxious day and night, and finally decisively proposed the grand plan of dredging the river channel and transferring the south and north grain to the north. At that time, Liu Yan wrote a report to Li Heng at the position of Jingzhao Yin, saying: "When a water is blocked, I am willing to go first; when a grain is not transported, I am willing to take the rice and go first, I am anxious and bitter, and I will report to the master of the situation. The dan is not defeated, and the grain is in danger, and the river flows in the Pingying Camp cry and express my feelings."

This is naturally a sign of trying his best to complete this mission, and it also fully demonstrates his dedication to worry about the country and the people and the courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities. However, when Li Heng saw what he said, he told Liu Yan that he would ease this matter for the time being, and not do it so urgently!

Although Liu Yan felt quite disappointed, he did not give up on his research on this matter. However, except for research, he has not continued to propose it yet.
