During the dynasty period, no emperor dared to step into the territory of another country unless he personally led an army to destroy another country.
Unlike the later generations, they didn't dare to hold a state visit.
Even in the peaceful era of the future, it was impossible for them to go to other countries casually.
Every time they went out, the security forces in the open and in the dark were no joke. It was even more dangerous in ancient times.
Once the emperor was killed in another country, or even imprisoned, the world would be in chaos.
While Li Shiming was still frozen in place, Empress Zhangsun was also speechless and deeply shocked.
"Imperial Father, your son has one more thing to say!" Li Lizhi bowed.
"Uh…"
Li Shi Min's rigid state was finally broken. His fingers trembled slightly in his yellow robe as he said dryly,"Please speak, my son!"
"The King of Eastwoods said that a certain ancestor of the Great Tang said that people with the same surname should not marry. In fact, it was the ancestor's experience.
Close relatives are blood relatives within three generations!
If they were to get married, although they would be even closer, they would actually harm their children and grandchildren!
Silly, incomplete, weak, and premature death would follow him like a shadow!
Although there was a chance of survival in the heavens, and there might be a genius or a healthy person, the chances were lower than a premature death!
I think it's credible!"
" Is…is it true?!" Li Shi Min said in shock.
The population problem was a huge problem!
What the Great Tang lacked the most right now was manpower. Li Shiming knew very well that if he had more people, he wouldn't have used the Persian army.
He didn't expect to find out about the reason for the lack of manpower from Li Lizhi.
"Imperial Father, please consider whether it is true or not, or invite the world's famous doctors to discuss it!
However, if that's the case, there's no way to talk about the marriage between your son and cousin!”Li Lizhi said.
"Lizhi, kneel down and apologize to Father!”Empress Zhangsun shouted.
This matter involved Zhangsun Wuji and the relationship between the imperial power and the ministers. Was it something that could be casually brought up for discussion?
"Mother, your son's words are from the bottom of my heart!
Your son is willing to be a student in Donglin Country. Even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I can't bring harm to my eldest grandson's family.
When he returned from his studies, he would make the Great Tang stand at the peak, and all countries would come to pay their respects!”Li Lizhi said.
Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin looked at each other, not understanding what Li Lizhi meant.
International students and returning students were terms invented by a certain island nation in this era. They were slightly different from the international students of the future.
Nowadays, international students were actually permanent residents. It was equivalent to not returning to China for the rest of their lives.
The purpose of the country sending such students to study abroad was to settle down the students. They were equivalent to the civil representatives of their own country. They were different from the current envoys to the Tang Dynasty or the embassy in the future. They were official representatives.
The biggest use of such international students was to receive future students and provide various financial support for the students to adapt to the environment in the early stages.
As for students, they were students who returned to their own countries to teach and develop after learning a certain aspect.
It would take at least three to five years, or at most eight to ten years before he returned.
Li Shiming pursed his lips and pulled his beard, not saying a word.
Li Lizhi continued," Country Ruler Lin said that if the country is in urgent need of increasing the population, it's best not to have children early!
If a woman were to get pregnant early, it would consume too much of her energy.
The light ones were like the mother being weak and sickly, the serious ones dying from dystocia, and the quality of the children they gave birth to was not high, they were very easy to fall sick or prematurely age!
However, the people of Donglin live to be more than 150 years old, and even if they are pregnant at 30, they can live together for five generations. Our Great Tang cannot do that!
However, his father allowed him to send students to study abroad and return them to the academy. It might be possible in 20 to 30 years!
Lizhi was willing to explore the path of longevity in Donglin Country for her father and mother.
If Imperial Father can live another hundred years, the Great Tang will surely be visited by all countries!”
Li Lizhi's last sentence hit Li Shiming's heart.
