Liu Tiao raised his hands to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Tingzhou that a large number of people have migrated from the Central Plains.
The detailed number of people cannot be counted yet, but it will definitely not be less than five million, and it is said that there are still more people.
People are constantly coming from behind.
If we in Western Qin accept all these The pressure on ordinary people and local governments will be very great, and a lot of money will be spent.
Emergency disaster relief aid reserve funds must be used.
This is not enough.
If you want all these people to survive and survive this winter safely, more must be spent.
If there is too much money, then the military expenses for sending troops to Northern Tianzhu next year will probably be completely spent."
Zhao Ziliang wondered: "How come so many people from the Central Plains migrated here?
In previous years, there were only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and only in the 16th year of Tianbao did 3 million migrate.
Why did the number increase so much this time?"
Dugu Wensu replied: "Your Majesty, according to the news we have received, the Central Plains imperial court is now empty of treasury, and the war has just been calmed down, but the various places are not very stable.
The generals who lead the army support their own troops and collect taxes within their jurisdiction.
The people were in dire straits and the court was unable to provide relief, so the emperor had to issue a decree to allow the landless and moneyless people to move freely to the Western Qin Dynasty.
During the last founding celebration of our country, an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the Central Plains revealed that in the 29th year of Kaiyuan.
The population of the Tang Dynasty is 45.8 million.
This year, the population of the Tang Dynasty is only 28 million.
This means that in the past twenty years, the population of the Tang Dynasty has dropped sharply by 17.8 million. , excluding the 8 million who migrated to Western Qin over the years, the population of the Central Plains has decreased by more than 10 million due to mismanagement, disasters and wars in the past 20 years.
The people of the Central Plains really cannot survive, so they have to travel across mountains and rivers to cross the desert.
Go to Western Qin to seek life" Zhao Ziliang stood up from the throne and walked around in front of Dan, looking at the ministers and said: "The people from the Central Plains who come to our Western Qin are the people of our Western Qin.
They believe that they can survive when they come to Western Qin, so they come.
We must Try every possible means to resettle them so that they can live here, and On the other hand, the total population of Western Qin is now 18 million, while the Han people are only 8 million, less than half.
If we accept this group of Central Plains people, even if it is only 5 million. , the population of Han people will also exceed 60%, which is beneficial to our rule of Western Qin.
Liu Tiao, political The State Council must properly arrange for the people who are coming from the Central Plains to come in batches and resettle them in various places.
By the way, there are almost no Han people living in the Jisu Protectorate we just obtained.
Since we need to use this year’s emergency disaster relief, we need to arrange for a group of Han people to go there.
Use the money, then use it, there are only less than two months until the end of the year If there are other places where money is needed, we can temporarily stop it and allocate the funds to resettle the people first.
However, the military expenditures for the expedition to Beitianzhu next year cannot be used.
We would rather allocate funds from other expenditures of the Government Affairs Council than use military expenditures.
Beitianzhu is in chaos.
It’s been too long, it’s time for us to address this hidden danger.”
Liu Tiao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the largest expenditure of the Government Affairs Council is road construction projects.
If the funds for road construction projects are withdrawn, many people will have to lose their jobs and go home.
In many areas, construction needs to be carried out during the dry season in winter, such as rivers.
If you miss this winter and have to wait until next year, many people will have nothing to do this year."
Zhao Ziliang said: "I didn't say that all the money would be withdrawn at once.
Can all the money be spent on road construction during this period?
Who asked you to pay all the money at once to the material merchants?"
Someone pulled Liu Tiao's clothes and shook his head.
At this time, it was obvious that no one or anything could change Zhao Ziliang's determination to accept these Central Plains people.
As Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, Liu Tiao's burden is not light.
He needs money everywhere, and everyone has to reach out to him.
He must hold on to the money bag.
He does not want to go to war, because fighting requires a large amount of military expenditures.
Even if he wins the war, , the benefits cannot be reflected in a short period of time.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the ministers and said: "In addition to having a strong body, a person also needs to have strong mental strength.
He must have his own dignity, and spiritual strength comes from dignity.
If a person even has dignity, If there is no more, then he will definitely lose his spiritual power.
A person without spirit is like a walking corpse.
This is true for a person, and so is a country.
The thirty-six city-states of Northern Tianzhu despise our Western Qin, which is a blow to our dignity, and it is a blow to our dignity. attempt To destroy our spiritual strength, we must maintain dignity.
This is the dignity of a country.
It does not tolerate any blasphemy or insult.
If a country loses its dignity, it is equivalent to breaking the backbones of all its people and annihilating the bodies of all its people.
With such a bloody nature, even if such a country can survive, it will be unable to escape the fate of destruction sooner or later.
There must be no objections to the conquest of the thirty-six city-states in Northern Tianzhu.
Military expenditures must not be less, and logistical support must keep up with General Chu at all times."
Chu Ge stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
"Next year's military expenditures for the thirty-six city-states in Northern Tianzhu will be fully allocated to you, and military logistics will be fully provided, so that you have no worries, but you can't just take it easy and take it lightly, without a sense of urgency.
The thirty-six city-states of Northern Tianzhu are not very large, and I will only give you half a year at most.
If you have not ended the war and occupied the entire thirty-six city-states of Northern Tianzhu within half a year, I will change the general."
Chu Ge cupped his fists and said, "Wei Chen understands."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Okay, do you have anything else to report?
If not, let's disperse.
Liu Tiao and Chu Ge will stay."
All the ministers saluted together and said loudly: "I'll leave you now."
After all the ministers left, only Zhao Ziliang, Liu Tiao, Chu Ge and a few eunuchs and maids were left in the hall.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Chu Ge and asked, "Have you decided how to fight the thirty-six city-states in Northern Tianzhu next year?"
Chu Ge said honestly: "Back to the king, I haven't figured out how to fight yet.
If Beitianzhu was just one country, it would be very big, but their thirty-six city-states are in charge of their own affairs, which makes Wei Chen feel like he doesn't know where to start."
Zhao Ziliang tapped his fingers on the imperial case, thought for a while and said: "The total military strength of the thirty-six city-states in Northern Tianzhu is nearly 200,000.
If you are asked to only lead two legions to conquer, the military strength is indeed a bit weak.
The total population of Northern Tianzhu could not afford to support so many soldiers and horses, but they were divided into thirty-six The city-states are in charge of their own affairs, and each city-state is fiercely armed and uses almost all its financial resources to raise troops.
This is why Beitianzhu has 200,000 troops.
You cannot regard the 200,000 soldiers and horses as a whole.
They are fighting for each other. are hostile and wary of each other, you must make full use of The contradiction between them was that when the king responded to the invasion of the Kingdom of Dashi, he not only used the soldiers and horses of Beiting and Anxi, but also used a large number of soldiers and horses of the Sogdian countries, and some wars that required a lot of consumption were made by These servant armies of the Sogdian countries are responsible for carrying out the mission, while our own army is mainly used in key areas.
We always carry out offensive and decisive battles, so the losses were very small.
Last year, when I conquered the Khazar Khanate, I basically used the Pechenegs, Kimaks, Kipchaks, Oghuz and Huas in the early battles.
As for the servant armies like the Azizimians, our Western Qin army will only be responsible for the final decisive battle.
The main attack is supported by other servant armies.
It can be seen that although the combat effectiveness of the servant army is not as good as that of our Western Qin army, they still have their role.
As long as you use them well, they can play their value this time.
Of the six city-states, we can first attack the city-states closest to our Western Qin, and then conquer these city-states.
Defeat these city-states, then organize their scattered soldiers and horses, appoint obedient local generals to command, and organize them into a servant army to assist our army in fighting.
As long as the more city-states you defeat, the more your servant army will become.
The more people come, the fewer and fewer opportunities the troops will have to fight, so Therefore, your losses will definitely become less and less.
The strength of the two legions is enough to capture the thirty-six city-states of Northern Tianzhu.
The troops are almost exhausted, and your servant army will not have much left in the end.
This can be said to be You can achieve multiple things with one stone.
You have been with me for a long time in these years.

You should have seen how I use the servant army.
The key is to control it.
If you handle it well, the servant army can also fight for you.
After all, if you don’t handle it well, the servant army may stab you from the back or flank at any time.”
After hearing this, Chu Ge felt like he was enlightened.
He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the advice, Your Majesty.
I know how to fight."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Liu Tiao and said, "I have thought about it just now.
Our road construction project this year is mainly in the northwest section, from our territory in Western Qin through Ogus and Huacizmo and into the Yayike Protectorate. and these main roads in the Khazar Protectorate, among which Ugu The distance between Sri Lanka and Khwarezm is not short.
I thought about it and asked Ogus and Khwarizm to pay for it.
We will provide construction workers, technology and materials.
After the road construction is completed, the taxes will be paid by us in Western Qin.
Distribute in proportion to Ogus and Huazizim.”
Liu Tiao's eyes lit up, but he imagined that this matter would be quite difficult, so he clasped his fists and said, "The king's idea is indeed good, but our Government Affairs Council does not have administrative jurisdiction over Ogus and Khwarizim.
These two King Khan is also not easy to talk to.
If he asks them to pay, they will not do it."
Zhao Ziliang said: "If you don't give it a try, how will you know what I think?
If this can be done, then after the road is built, we will jointly collect the passerby tax in their respective territories, and then we will share it in half with them.
What do you think?
" "It's a good idea.
I wonder whether Ogus and Huazimo will agree to it."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Building this road will be of great benefit to them.
It will not only make it easier for their people to travel, but also get tax revenue.
This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
This king will send people to take care of the two Khans."
Come and discuss it.
If you can get them to agree, your Government Council will send officials to discuss the rest of the matter with them.
But you want them to build a military station every fifty miles within the territory to garrison troops, and send troops to patrol the route along the way to maintain this route. safety and security” Liu Tiao agreed: "Yes, Wei Chen knows what to do
