Chapter Eighty-Seven: Five Policies for Determining the Country (2) "This ......"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, hugged Li Zhen in his arms, and said with his forehead on his forehead: "Zhen'er, your method seems to be a little more clever than the Turks or the feudals, but don't forget, the Turks are not inferior and not easy to manage."
And we are still far from the Turks, and in the event of unrest, we will not be able to rescue them.
Including them in Datang will only drag us back and add a burden to us, but it will not become a help for Datang."
"Isn't the traffic problem solved?"
Li Zhen picked his fingers and said: "A hundred cement kilns have been built in Longzhou, as long as they are completed, cement can be supplied in large quantities, isn't this the best road repair material?"
” "The cement is very good, of course my father knows, but Zhen'er, you must know that building roads is not just about materials."
Li Shimin said helplessly: "It takes people to build roads, a large number of people, and if so many people rely on labor alone, I am afraid that it will take decades to build from Chang'an to Turkic."
And building a road is also a big project, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, it will also kill people, my father can't bear to see that for a road, and exhaust countless people of my Tang Dynasty. ” "Why use hard labor?"
Li Zhen said strangely: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been constant wars, and after every big battle, isn't the prisoner captured alive the best labor?"
Where did the captives go?
” "This ......
Naturally, it was returned to them.
Li Shimin said that he never thought of using prisoners to build roads, but whenever he caught a prisoner, he would take good care of it, and the enemy would return the prisoner if he was soft, and he never thought of making reasonable use of so much idle labor. “......
Father, what do you want the child to say about you?
Forget it, let's talk about this later, let's talk about the best strategy first.
Li Zhen was also speechless.
However, he also knew that Li Shimin was not to blame, because this was a practice since ancient times, in order to save face in front of the enemy and let the enemy see our wealth.
On the contrary, he is ruthless when he is to his own people, he should be killed, he should be closed, and it would be good to be able to give a full meal.
Therefore, this custom is not new, but has been handed down since ancient times, the difference is that the current one is to worship the foreign, but in the past, it was because the flower planter was too strong, and it was too face-saving, so there was this move.
"Okay, Zhen'er, what's your best policy?"
Li Shimin was also uncomfortable with Li Zhen, and hurriedly changed the topic with Li Zhen's words.
"The upper policy should be said to be a supplement to the middle policy, which is called the immigration policy."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "The reason why Zhongce was not accepted by my father, in addition to the traffic problem, another important reason is that the Turks are rebellious and disobedient, which is easy to cause chaos, and it is really worth the loss to be directly included in the management of the Tang Dynasty." ” "Yes, it does."
Li Shimin agreed, and said: "My father also knows this, but now my father is more curious, Zhen'er, can you help your father explain?"
Since the upper policy is a supplement to the middle policy, why can it still be listed above the middle policy?
” "Because although it is a supplement to the middle policy, it is actually very marketable to operate alone."
Li Zhen yawned and said, "Father is worried about the Turkic rebellion, so why don't we turn them into a minority?"
” "Few......
Zhen'er, you don't still think about slaughtering, do you?
Li Shimin's face was solemn: "Didn't my father tell you?"
Massacres do not solve the problem. ” "The boy didn't think about the slaughter."
Li Zhen drank a cup of tea and lifted herself for a moment before continuing: "What the child thinks about is mixing sand. ” "Speak human words." “......
Father, you are so unlovable.
After complaining, Li Zhen still explained seriously: "The Turks are only a few million people, but our Tang Dynasty has tens of millions, what the child wants is to move some Turks into the Guannei, and then move some Han people to the grassland, so that the two move each other completely together, and they are inseparable.
And there is another advantage in this way, our Han people suffered greatly from the northern barbarian cavalry, from the Xia Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, it is not the case, even in the Western Han Dynasty, where the cavalry was vigorously developed, they also suffered defeats.
On the one hand, this is because the barbarians are all soldiers, and the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, which is not easy to figure out, and more importantly, we do not pay much attention to the construction of cavalry.
But if we can infiltrate our own people into the grasslands.
It doesn't take two generations for the Han people to move north, as long as one generation passes, they will be able to adapt to life on horseback, and my Tang Dynasty will have countless cavalry.
In this way, my Datang not only has unparalleled prosperity, but also has cavalry that dominates the world, who can be the enemy of Datang in this world?
Father, you can think about it, as long as we have cavalry, whether it is the northern grassland, or the western desert, or the southern forest, there is a scene of my Tang Dynasty iron cavalry, how majestic it should be!!
” "If there really is the kind of scene you said Zhen'er, then even if the father is dead, he will be blinded."
Li Shimin was fooled by the blueprint drawn by Li Zhen, but after all, he was mentally strong, and after a while, he still came back to his senses and frowned: "But Zhen'er, can this really work?"
The Turks are good to say, under the forced migration, they should not be disobedient, but it is not easy to say in China, I Han people love home the most, you also know, under the difficult to leave the homeland, there should be no one to leave the warm Central Plains and go to the bitter cold grassland, right?
” "Not necessarily."

Speaking of this, Li Zhen is very confident: "It's true that the Chinese love family, but the most important thing is that there is no benefit, if your father dares to post the imperial list, saying that as long as you are willing to migrate to the Turks, each household will be given a thousand acres of land, a cow and ten sheep, do you believe that the people who sign up can step on the threshold of the yamen?"
” Li Shimin was shocked: "A thousand acres?
Are you kidding me?
Where did we get so much land?
” "Why not?"
Li Zhen asked rhetorically: "One household is counted as five people, one million people is only 200 million acres of land, two million hectares, even if you move 5 million, it is only 10 million hectares, father, do you think the Turks don't even have 10 million hectares of land?"
” "But it's all wasteland and meadow."
"We didn't say that it was fertile land, and besides, the grassland was bitterly cold, and even if there was land, there would be no food to grow, so let them go, of course, let them be herdsmen."
Li Zhen said: "Father, you won't be worried, those people can't survive on the grassland, right?"
” "Not really."
Li Shimin hurriedly denied it, but his expression was clearly like this.
"Father, you also underestimate us Han people too much."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Father, you can think about it, Donghu Dog Rong is the enemy of my ancestors, but now they are safe?"
The Xiongnu once dominated the East, and the strong men had to pay tribute and pay compensation, but where are the Xiongnu now?
Xianbei is the overlord of the grassland, dominating the world and causing chaos in the Central Plains, but where did Xianbei go?
There are also Wuhuan, Qiang, Qiang, Di, and Rouran......
Which one has not crushed my Han people under him, and now they are people?
The five Hu people are chaotic, and there is not one Han people in a hundred, but now that the five Hu are gone, our Han people still exist, and they are getting stronger and stronger.
A Western philosopher once said: As long as the Han people are given sunshine, seeds, water and hoes, they can grow food on almost any piece of land!
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also proves that the vitality of our Han people should not be underestimated. ” "But ......"
Li Shimin still can't pay attention, this is not indecisive, not without courage, but the matter is too big, even if he pays attention, he must discuss it with the ministers, and gather the wisdom of everyone to plan all aspects together.
"Let's not talk about this first, Zhen'er, let's talk about the best policy, don't you still have the best policy?"
"It's okay, anyway, the child is just giving an opinion, whether to accept it or not is the father's intention."
Li Zhen also understood Li Shimin's concerns and immediately cooperated.
