Chapter 335: A New Mode of Occupation - The Colonial Model From the two Jin Dynasty to the present, the sub-sealing system has long become a forbidden area in everyone's hearts, let alone implemented, even if it is not mentioned.
It is conceivable that once Li Zhen admits that he wants to restart the sub-feudal system, not only Li Shimin will not agree, but the civil and military officials will fiercely oppose it, no matter how wise Li Zhen is, he will lose a lot of people's hearts in an instant - although Li Zhen himself knows very well that his sub-feudalism is different from the sub-feudal in history, and his sub-feud is really to seal his brother to the ends of the earth, coupled with the various restrictions he has imposed on him, they can't expand their power without enough resources, and they can't make enough money if they can't be independent economically, There are still Imperial troops watching at the doorstep at any time......
Under all kinds of restrictions, even if they are given ten lifetimes, they don't want to succeed in rebellion.
However, Li Zhen himself knows the truth here, but others don't know it, in their eyes, the feudal system is a disaster for the country and the people, whoever dares to divide the world, who is the enemy who disturbs the stability of the Tang Dynasty, when the time comes, there is no need for those secret enemies to take action, just a little push, then just the opposition from the people can force Li Zhen from the position of the prince.
"Where did you hear such rumors?"
Li Zhen stared at Cui Dao with burning eyes: "The surname Cui, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, talk about the government in vain, slander the prince of the dynasty, what crime should you be guilty of?"
” "His Royal Highness's words are wrong, and the minister only has reasonable suspicions, how can this be regarded as slander?"
Of course, Cui Dao will not admit it, you must know that slandering the prince is a serious crime, which is basically the same as arranging the emperor.
"What's more, the minister's suspicion is not groundless, the minister also heard similar rumors on the market, so he asked His Highness about it."
"Of course not.
You and I are well aware of the disadvantages of the sub-feudal system, how could this palace do such a foolish thing?
Li Zhen categorically denied it, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart, this damn Cui Dao, just a little careless, was forced into a corner by him, this bastard actually caught his weakness all of a sudden - it seems that among his brothers, there are still people who still have illusions about the throne......
Now things are more difficult to do, and it is definitely impossible to admit it, but if you deny it now, then your own words will inevitably reach Li Chengqian's ears, and no one will know what they will think at that time.
But now is not the time to think about this, the most important thing now is to turn the topic back to Tianzhu, otherwise if Cui Dao is further persecuted, I am afraid that I will have to make a poisonous oath to make Li Shimin and Baiguan believe - although it is said that for those from the next generation, an oath or something is bullshit, but Li Zhen even wore it, and deep down in his heart, he did not have any awe for the so-called gods of heaven and earth, and breaking the oath itself is a very bad thing, even if there is no so-called immortal, He is also unwilling to break his oath.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, we still have business to finish, these things will be talked about later."
However, before Li Zhen could speak, Li Shimin took the initiative to turn the topic back to the Tianzhu issue.
I saw him take a deep look at Li Zhen, and asked in a solemn voice: "Zhen'er, you vetoed the division method that Xuanling and their plans for a few days and nights, and denied Cui Aiqing's proposal to classify Tianzhu as a vassal country, so what do you mean?"
Are you ready to give up Tianzhu like this, or do you have the idea of being covered?
” "The father is wise, and the sons and daughters do have other ideas."
I don't know what's going on, Li Zhen always feels that Li Shimin's glance at him contains a trace of deep meaning, which makes him feel a little nervous in his heart, could it be that he found something?
Or did some of his brothers not only leak their proposal, but also secretly told Li Shimin?
"Let's hear about it......"
Li Shimin showed an interested expression.
Shaking his head and throwing out the bad ideas, the most important thing for Li Zhen now is to promote the concept of the colony, bowed down and said: "Actually, it's very simple, Erchen remembers that he has revealed this model of Erchen to everyone before - for the conquered territory, in addition to directly occupying and dividing it into a vassal country, Erchen has also proposed a simpler and crudest way, that is......
Colonial ......"
"Colonies?
Let's hear it......"
Li Shimin pretended to be very interested, the concept of the colony Li Zhen had already told him, he naturally knew what this thing was, and even he himself was planning to do so, otherwise he would not have vetoed the proposal of Fang Xuanling and others - in fact, at the very beginning, he was also inclined to include Tianzhu as the land of the Tang Dynasty, and it was the colonial blueprint depicted by Li Zhen that attracted him, once the era of great conquest was opened in the future, the land of the Tang Dynasty was destined to become more and more, Could it be that these territories should be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
This is simply impossible, and it is impossible to do, and it is not close to the Tang Dynasty, but what if this territory is far away in Europe?
In this era of extremely underdeveloped transportation, once the conquered land is divided into its own territory, then the Tang Dynasty must be responsible for it.
For example, in Europe, if something happens in Europe, according to the current communication method, it will take at least half a year to get the news to Datang, and then the affairs in Europe are estimated to be over, so what is the use of Datang even if it reacts quickly?
Therefore, unless the communication technology of the future is extremely developed, at least to the level of wireless telegraphy, it is impossible to make a distant place its own territory.
This kind of method, which only needs to plunder resources and dump products without governing the occupied territory, is the best way to govern the conquered territory in the future of Datang.
It's just that the colony is a kind of plunder, a kind of robbery and plundering of the conquered land, Li Shimin is determined to be a good emperor, to be a good emperor who is full of benevolence and righteousness, this kind of thing must not be said by him personally, but can only be expressed by Li Zhen - as for the proposal of the colony, do the officials agree with it or not?
So what does it matter?
As long as he, Li Shimin, agrees, does he still need to care about the opinions of hundreds of officials?
Left and right is just a way of governing the territory, although it is different from the direct occupation and the establishment of a vassal state, but in fact it is still a management mode for the newly occupied territory, although the officials are qualified to oppose it, but I think they will not disagree with Li Shimin in this kind of matter.
