Li Shimin was in a very good mood in the Gaojie Taiji Hall in the battle ahead, he was waiting for the Beiya Forbidden Army to escort Jieli back, and a kind of ministers were now looking at Li Shimin's smiling face in the court.
But the matter discussed now still has to be answered, Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are too many Turkic captives, if you let it go, it may cause disaster. ” The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty spoke, and the ministers began to think, and at this time Du Ruhui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the Turks can be placed separately in various state capitals for labor. ” "Specifically, the minister's meaning is to arrange a lifelong job for these people, so that they can work in exchange for the goods they need for production, and for those who have made outstanding contributions, they can improve their treatment so that they can integrate into the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind."
Du Ruhui continued.
Then the matter involving slavery was brought up again, Yuan Shan proposed that this was not all for enslaving them, but also partly because it was easy to manage, Du Ruhui's words were not finished, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the shipyard in Cangzhou is now employing workers, and now that there are these Turkic people, if you let the various state capitals resettle them, you also need to provide them with food, and the minister thinks that these personnel can be transported to the Cangzhou shipyard, so that according to the salary of the hired workers, the imperial court can get some benefits, wouldn't it be better." ” This is the point that Du Ruhui wants to say today, that is, to equate these captives with renting them out, and the captives naturally need a mouthful of food, and their current situation does not allow them to have more requirements. 150,000 people, if all of them are used for labor, but they can leave a lot of silver for the imperial court, and according to Du Ruhui's meaning, these people can also earn silver, such a good thing, Li Shimin is naturally willing to agree.
The captain of Cangzhou is the one made by Yuan Shan, and even he has two percent of the shares in it, although he does not have to participate in the management, but after listening to Du Ruhui's words, he is also very curious about how many people this shipyard needs, so he asked.
"How many people does the Cangzhou shipyard plan to hire."
Li Shimin asked.
"According to Yuanshan, 30,000 people can be housed."
Du Ruhui said. "30,000 people" Li Shimin was very surprised, and it was beyond his imagination that a shipyard needed 30,000 people to work.
Li Shimin then continued to ask: "Why do 30,000 people need so many people. ” "According to the minister's understanding, although Cangzhou is near the sea, because it is located in the northeast, the people are not rich, and because of the continuous war, they want to develop and build there, so many people are needed, and as far as the minister knows, the population of Cangzhou is not very large, in fact, if you want to settle the Turks, you can put most of them in Youzhou and Cangzhou."
Du Ruhui said.
At this time, Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the area around Youzhou and Lingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and these captives are overwhelming, but they can be ruled by the governors of Shun, You, Hua, and Chang, which is also easy to manage." ” However, Wen Yanbo's words were not finished and continued: "Because of the settlement of the Turks, the ministers should settle them in one place to ensure that their customs are gradually integrated. ” Du Ruhui originally thought that Wen Yanbo agreed with his opinion, but he didn't expect that his idea was to settle as a whole and retain customs, Du Ruhui was suddenly worried that if this continued, he might occupy a lot of troops in the imperial court for jurisdiction.
As soon as I wanted to object, I heard Wei Zheng stand up and say: "Your Majesty's ministers think that the situation of the Turks is different from that of the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is most prudent to disperse and resettle, and Du Shangshu's simple ministers think it is better." ” "Your Majesty, although the Turks are captives, the ultimate goal is to integrate them into the Tang society, and the repeated coercion is inappropriate."
Wen Yanbo immediately explained.
Li Shimin understood as soon as he heard it, Du Ruhui was considering from "benefit", providing jobs to the Turks not only allowed them to give up their habits, but also sought some benefits for the imperial court, but this approach was still a bit novel, the plane was not very humane, and it still required a lot of manpower and material resources to manage, Wen Yanbo considered from the perspective of "integration", so that the Turks could become a minority in the Tang Dynasty and integrate into the life of the Tang Dynasty.
This is also very good, but thinking about the evil things that the Turks did to the people of the Tang Dynasty, his heart as an emperor is very unbalanced, Wei Zheng still starts from the word "stability", and scattering the Turks is the same as reorganizing the army.
Li Shimin felt that the ideas of the three of them were not wrong, and they were all very good, and suddenly Li Shimin found that he seemed to be a little embarrassed, in fact, he could be placed in any way, but the "benefit" proposed by Du Ruhui was what he wanted to adopt, but this was inevitably a bit hurtful, and this matter was also related to Cangzhou Shipyard, and there was no need to think about it, so you know that this must be inseparable from Yuanshan's kid.
Just when the court was deliberating, a little eunuch suddenly came over to pass the word, and then Ma He whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "Your Majesty, Kaifu Yi and the third division Li Shentong have passed away." ” "Got it."
After Li Shimin learned the news, his mood was instantly depressed, and the joy of victory seemed to be difficult to calm his sadness, Li Shentong was his uncle, and he had outstanding achievements in the Li family's clan, so when he lowered the rank of the clan's meritorious service, only Li Shentong was an exception.
In the past few years, Li Shentong has been in charge of the Li family's clan, which can be described as a great help to Li Shimin, and now he died young, this news makes it difficult for Li Shimin to accept, sitting on the dragon chair silently, the important ministers in the hall feel a very depressed atmosphere, although I don't know what happened, I can imagine that it will not be a good thing.
"My uncle Li Shentong passed away, and he was posthumously given Sikong and nicknamed Jing.
The eldest son, Li Daoyan, was crowned King of Jiaodong.
Li Shimin said.
The ministers all sighed that it was not easy to say anything about this kind of thing, this Li Shentong was also in charge of the affairs of the Li family's clan, and the officials of the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions were also quite the treatment of the three dukes, and there was no doubt that the ministers of the posthumous Sikong were also undoubted.
Li Shimin's management of the clan is very strict, and there are also restrictions on the merits of the clan, and he will not be crowned king unless there are special circumstances, originally Li Shentong's eldest son was the prince of Jiaodong County, and he was suddenly crowned king, which was also to appease the clan.
Li Shimin was very sad, and a big reason for this was because of the affairs of the clan, so he quickly calmed down and immediately said: "I am very sad now, but as the king of a country, I can't be so sad, let's continue to discuss things." ” The psychological quality of being an emperor is good, and this critical time will control his emotions, and suddenly someone came in to report the horse and pass the letter to Li Shimin, this is a letter from Li Jing, Li Shimin opened it and looked at it with great joy in his heart.
In the letter, it was written that Tang Jian, who was sent to the Turkic lobby, successfully escaped when Li Jing attacked the Yinshan Turkic Department at night, which means that the plan to send troops to the Turks this time has been a complete success.
