Establishing exchange markets, building cities, stationing troops and hoarding fields, and moving some of the refugees from disaster areas to places like the north of the Yellow River and outside the Guan Pass can be regarded as the Tang Dynasty version of the invasion of Guandong.
And this place is very suitable for raising horses.
By that time, the West Asian trade routes were opened, bribes were given to the small Turkic nobles, horses were purchased for the Li and Tang cavalry, and most importantly, the emperor's purse was enriched, and various plant seeds and rare treasures were introduced.
Li Shimin listened to the White Horse Alliance being interpreted word for word by Li Dandao, and there was a lot of mystery in it.
I thought to myself: He is such a talented person, but it¡¯s a pity that I am really not sure how to control him.
Li Shimin thought for a while, for important things like making money for himself, he must send his cronies.
Yuchi Jingde knew the Turks well and could serve as the general manager of the march. He was made the "Gong of the State" a few days ago, which is suitable for taking charge of this matter.
Chang He from the Xuanwu Sect can also be released.
Li Daliang is also a talented person.
¡° Anyway, Li Shimin felt that following these people¡¯s efforts would definitely be a profitable business.
Therefore, the six ministries were ordered to discuss the re-division of the administrative agencies connecting Tubo, Turks, and even the many small countries in the Western Regions in XJ where they were handed over to the Tang Dynasty.
The officials of the six ministries referred to the practices of the Western Region Protectorate during the Han Dynasty and combined them with the current situation. A "tax customs" was set up in the Hexi Corridor and troops were stationed there.
??An important town was set up in Fengzhou, where the Gansu Turks and the Tubo Kingdom were close to each other. There were also Songmo Duhufu, Shanyu Duhufu, Raole Duhufu, etc., all of which were copied from the Han system.
In addition to these prefectures, the original Dunhuang, Zhangye, Qiuci and other places still serve as important roads, set up checkpoints, serve as throats, and cultivate fields to guard the borders.
"It's just unimaginable that sixteen prefectures, states, and counties were actually divided into sections.
There are hundreds of counties or important towns under its jurisdiction, but it is basically a vast land with sparse population, few Han people, and many other ethnic minorities. Many places have to start from scratch.
And the group of officials who just lost the city now have a place to go, sent to the Western Regions, outside the Great Wall, to feed Li Shimin, make money, and educate them.
If you do a good job, you will be released. If you do a bad job, you will be held accountable. You will be punished for several crimes and the whole family will be exiled.
"Except for these officials, all prisoners in prisons across the country, except those with unforgivable crimes, have been exiled to the border to guard the territory.
"If someone becomes a beggar or a homeless person, but his limbs are sound and his brain is not damaged, he will also be sent to the border to work in the fields.
Li Dandao said that this was his resentment towards the "beggars". These children of the beggars never did anything good all day long. Send them to the frontier to deal with the Turks.
"As for the people who really can't survive, they can go to farming areas and have food and shelter. It's better than being refugees.
Once you go to open up wasteland, you will be granted land, tax-free for three years, half tax for five years, and you can re-establish your household registration. Generally speaking, these homeless beggars are easy-going and will not resist the court's arrangements.
¡° In this way, the social instability factors will basically be sent outside, and there will definitely be many fewer people rebelling.
It¡¯s just that the food and manpower and material resources that need to be consumed are probably not a few.
Li Shimin could only pretend that he was still at war with the Turks, squeezing oil and water out of the stones, and just wait until next year when the farmland produces output. Not to mention self-sufficiency, at least the pressure of using the Grand Canal to transport food from the south would be higher. Much less.
However, with so many prefectures, counties, prefectures, and important towns outside the Great Wall, it was impossible to just let the army take charge. It would only lead to more chaos, and the people just appointed were far from enough. Li Shimin could only allow them to temporarily select talents locally. Only then was he recommended as an official.
We have also made the decision to start the imperial examination in the first year of Zhenguan this September to cultivate our own talents and confidants.
The next court meeting will be about the severe drought and locust plague. The treatment plan has been put forward. It just depends on how the local officials do it.
Waiting for the end of the court meeting, Li Dandao left the palace. He originally wanted to find Monk Bajie and Fa Hai, and ask them to pack up and go to Qinglong Temple to clean up and open the temple at an auspicious time to regain its popularity.
But Fu Yi stopped him: "Doctor Li really has the wisdom of Zhuge Liang."
Li Dandao has been friends with this anti-Buddhist fighter for a long time, and he wanted to visit him before. Unfortunately, the Xuanwu Gate incident happened a year in advance, so he never visited him, but he did exchange famous cards.
"Taishi Ling has given me the award." Li Dan said, bowing.
"It's not an honor." Fu Yi said: "Since you know the eight formations, astronomy and geography, and can govern the people and military matters, you are an all-rounder. Your Majesty, with your assistance, we old bones can retreat safely."
"If there are too many bureaus on the border, I'm afraid there will be nine out of ten sheep, which will lead to a situation where the tail is too big to lose."
Li Dandao smiled and said: "Your Majesty should?I want to entrust the fiefdoms of the founding lords to the borders. Even if there are princes in the future who cannot inherit the throne, they will be sent to be vassal kings. "
Fu Yi thought about it: Yes, there are some desolate lands over there now. No matter how big or small it is, as long as you can hold the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers in your hands, it is already "China", and those lands can be regarded as "martial arts" at best.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the word "Îä" because of his "martial arts".
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it is so big that it cannot be lost, it means that it is already prosperous enough, and it can be used as the "territory of the territory" for those who come after, and the so-called "it has been the territory of China since ancient times".
¡°And the Turks, the Huns, the Dangxiang people, the Jurchens
¡°These nomads are a tough nut to crack, so what if those people can chew them off and let them build a country somewhere?
Isn¡¯t it the root of China? I want to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and become a minister.
"I'm afraid this White Horse Alliance won't last for a few more years." Fu Yi said: "Queen Xiao is still outside the Great Wall, and I'm afraid that crazy woman Princess Yicheng will not give up. It's still a troubled time"
Fu Yi sighed, and suddenly changed the topic: "I have been close friends with Dr. Li's master Sun Simiao for a long time. I wonder if I can get Dr. Li to introduce him?"
Sun Zhenren has arrived in Chang'an today, and there is also the new disciple Meng Shen on the way, and Lu Zhaolin, who was busy in Magu Mountain before.
And some people who actively follow Sun Zhenren because they admire him.
Now Master Sun is in the Imperial Medical Office.
The main question is why the "Qianjin Prescription" written by me has not been published in the world.
But it was Li Shimin who agreed to be a "virtuous man" only after he met Sun Zhenren in person.
Li Dandao naturally agreed: "Taishi Ling's accomplishments in astronomy are not small. My teacher has also done some research on this. I think there should be a common saying among them."
Li Dandao thought again: "Has Tai Shiling ever tried to practice cultivation?"
Fu Yi smiled: "You can just think that I am Mr. Ye, a good dragon. Although I know how to practice, I am not willing to practice."
Li Dandao sighed: "Taishi Ling is really transparent."
"My current thoughts are now, and the future is the future. I can't wait until I withdraw from the court, and I will ask you for advice on spiritual practice."
¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m too old when the time comes.¡±
"Of course not." Li Dandao smiled and said: "You are in a higher realm than me, so you don't care about your age anymore." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
