In front of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Po walked out of the Tai Chi Hall and stood on the steps, holding on to the railings and looking in the direction of Chengtian Gate. At this time, he estimated that Du Fuwei should be arriving soon.
The surrender of Goguryeo's prisoners is no longer in his consideration. He has no lenient policy here, and Goguryeo's death will be very complete.
The conciliatory policies adopted by the imperial courts in the past dynasties were actually helpless actions. If you could uproot the person, who would be willing to put in the effort to talk to you?
From Goguryeo to the Tang Dynasty, those who deserved to be killed would be killed without mercy, and how others should be dealt with would be determined according to Japanese precedents.
Just say that the Goguryeo people have fought with the Central Plains dynasty for so many years, how can they be treated better than the Japanese? That is definitely not appropriate, at least a bowl of water should be treated equally.
Thinking of the large population in Goguryeo, Li Po felt more and more comfortable, and a smile appeared on his lips. There will be no shortage of people for the Tang Dynasty's infrastructure construction projects in the next few years.
When this construction period is over, those who survive will be rewarded with a bite of food. By that time, the labor service in Datang will be back on track.
We should still follow the previous rules. After all, the Central Plains has a vast territory and it is impossible to rely on migrant workers. According to Li Po's idea, roads around the Tang Dynasty will be built in the future. Later great men said well, if you want to get rich, build first.
Well, this word is actually suitable for any dynasty.
Once the roads are built, as long as the Tang Dynasty can still succeed, it will naturally enter another period of rapid expansion.
If we could build a galloping road leading to Yumen Pass, if you think about the size of the Central Plains, the number of people from the Western Regions would probably not be enough to fill the teeth of the Central Plains Dynasty.
If we can build roads to the grasslands, it will be useless for the nomads.
Even if we can't catch up with the shadows of those grassland tribes, as long as the roads are accessible, we can build cities later and encroach on them little by little, and we will definitely make the nomadic tribes on the grassland fly into pieces.
Of course, this is just a thought. When it comes to building cities and roads on the grassland, Li Po's mind has not yet reached that point. With today's technology, it doesn't have to be too far. Just the Yunwai Grassland is enough for the Tang Dynasty.
From the previous pot.
The most reliable idea is to take advantage of the good relations with the Turks in recent years to build several fortified cities in Shuofang and Yulin, and also build Chidao to cover the northern area of Chang'an and intercept the Turks' southward movement, which is the most direct threat.
A road from the capital city of Chang'an.
At the same time, it can also become the bridgehead for Datang to go north when needed.
In the northwest, he had to take his time. He planned to spend several years paving it all the way with the bones of slaves. He had to build a road leading to the Dunhuang area. Even though the wind and sand there were very strong, it was very difficult to build a road.
.
But Qin Shihuang could even build the Great Wall. Why couldn't Li Po, with the manpower and material resources of the Tang Dynasty, not be able to build such a way out?
Besides, the Egyptians built isolated pyramids in the desert without any evidence. That is a miracle. In comparison, building a road is nothing.
…………
Patting the railing, Li Po felt that the Tai Chi Palace built by Yang Jian was indeed not as exquisite as the Weiyang Palace in old Chang'an. Maybe a hundred years later, his descendants would be able to make this place better, right?
There is no need for him to mention it himself. It is hard to start a business, and he saves money when he can. It is estimated that even if he is old and his brain is not so good, he will not rebuild Tai Chi Hall again.
Because as a symbol of the power of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what you cultivate, its essence will not change, as long as it looks decent. No matter how fancy your cultivation is, it is actually useless. Hundreds of years later, you may be killed by that bastard Huang Chao.
A fire was set off.
Well, it wasn't just Huang Chao. The warlords fought in the late Tang Dynasty. Anyone who entered Chang'an would have to fight, set a fire or something. If not, it would not show everyone's determination, but there is no need to blame Lao Huang.
Compared with the princes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, what those people did at the end of the Tang Dynasty was different. Except for the rebels and members of the family, the eunuchs played a very bad role in it. They often held the emperor hostage. The power of the eunuch group was no longer as powerful as that of the princes in the late Sui Dynasty.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, even a little bit better.
These tailless people, King Qin's various generals, and the foreign troops they attracted, staged countless jaw-dropping stories.
To say who is the culprit, Emperor Xuanzong, who feels good about himself, must be to blame.
In the end, everything was blamed on a woman and she was so embarrassed. In addition to leaving a euphemistic and sad love story, it also vividly exposed the emperor's heartlessness to the world. It was really ugly.
Xuanzong, a king who prospered and then declined, but ended up in such a state of embarrassment, was no worse than Yang Er.
But now that Li Po has become emperor, can one of his descendants be like Emperor Qianlong, who inherited the legacy of several generations and created a prosperous age that he thought was self-righteous, but in fact was rotten on the inside and laid the foundation for countless disasters?
…………
"Your Majesty, you'd better go back. His Majesty King Wu is about to arrive. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for His Majesty to meet outside the palace."
Fan Wenjin, who had just taken office a few days ago, advised.
It was a bit strange that he got the position of Minister of Internal Affairs. It was so sudden that he had almost no mental preparation. He was the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Even when he was having sweet dreams in Yangzhou, he never imagined that he could become the prime minister as soon as he returned to Beijing. At most, he often thought about the ministers and ministers in the province, and he also thought it was an extravagant hope that the six ministers or ministers would do anything to him
It is said that it is a position that meets expectations.
Positions like the Attendant, who are always at the emperor's side, must be filled by the emperor's confidants? Even if Fan Wenjin tries to get higher up, he would not dare to claim to be the emperor's confidants.
But things just happened, and he had no idea what the story was.
How can it be possible? Most people who have been officials know that many times in the official career, they are afraid of a pie falling from the sky, but you still don’t know why. Maybe there is something bad in the pie.
Fortunately, the emperor gave him a month to cultivate, so he went to Jingzhao to talk to Yuen Long. In addition to thanking him for his help, he also wanted to ask how he got the position of servant.
Yuen Long is naturally very well-informed. Even if he doesn't know the inside story, he can still find out. If not, he can just ask his brother-in-law or sister directly.
And he was more concerned about Fan Wenjin's affairs, otherwise he wouldn't have informed Chu Suihao to entertain Fan Liangzhou, right?
After staying with Yuen Long for a few days, the two of them got along very well. Fan Wenjin also learned some inside information, and his heart was a little relieved.
It turned out that many accidents occurred in Menxia Sheng after Feng Lun's death, and the emperor was not very satisfied with the two ministers. Just in time for him to return to Beijing to report on his duties, he rewarded them with the position of internal minister.
