When Li Yuanji heard Chen Shuda's words, he instantly understood what Chen Shuda and the others were thinking.
Chen Shuda and the others saw that there was still a lot of room for internal development in Datang, so they wanted to try their best to develop all the developable areas within Datang in a very short period of time, so that Datang could develop as much as possible.
The national power of the Tang Dynasty increased linearly, which made the Tang Dynasty's heritage increase exponentially.
Wait until the Tang Dynasty's national strength and foundation reaches a certain limit before embarking on overseas strategy.
At that time, no matter what kind of opponent it faced, Datang would be confident and confident.
I dare not say that it will be invincible, but looking at it, there is no enemy that can really compete with Datang.
In short, it is to take the opportunity to strengthen your muscles, gather strength, clench your fists, and then fight when everything is ready.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, and it can even be said to be a real idea for the country.
If Li Yuanji was a fairly stable person, he would definitely adopt this idea and implement it perfectly.
But not Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji does not want to stay in this position for more than ten years, or even decades.
He wanted to try as soon as possible to find a way for Datang to gain a foothold outside the territory, and then turn it into a fixed formula, so that Datang's official tool would roll down like a snowball.
At that time, he can withdraw and live the life he wants.
As for whether the tried formula would fall apart after reaching a certain level and whether it would cause heavy damage to Datang, that was not something he should consider at all.
The earth is so big. When the snowball of the Tang Dynasty rolled up and spread all over the world, it would probably be hundreds or even hundreds of years later.
At that time, whether the Tang Dynasty was falling apart or being rebelled, he could no longer see it and could not help much.
No matter how much you worry or worry, it is all unnecessary.
The only thing he can be sure of is that the ambitions of the Han people will be completely opened up by him at that time, the footsteps of the Han people will spread all over the world, the descendants of the Han family will be scattered everywhere, and political powers dominated by Han people will be established everywhere.
If there can be a heroic clan in the future generations as determined as the Ying Zhao family, who will fight for many generations to unify all the regimes established by the Han Miao descendants, as well as the places where the Han people have traveled, then unification will be
Global merit may emerge.
This kind of thing was difficult to achieve in ancient times, and it couldn't be accomplished in one or two generations, so it can only be pinned on future generations.
The only thing he can do is to help future generations build a certain foundation.
Therefore, he would not adopt the ideas of Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui.
"I already understand your thoughts, but I don't want to wait."
Li Yuanji said calmly.
Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui stared blankly.
The words "I don't want to wait" already made them understand Li Yuanji's attitude.
Li Yuanji looked at Xiao Yu and the others and continued: "We don't have to catch one end and let go of the other. We can catch both ends."
Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui were even more stunned.
Taking care of both ends, wanting to have your cake and eat it too, is it a good idea?!
"Your Highness..."
Chen Shuda was willing to give advice.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say more, I have made up my mind and I will not change it. Don't just think about spending all the money you earn in Datang.
With the current number of Dingkou in Datang, it is still unable to absorb such a large amount of money.
Once it is spread all over the Tang Dynasty, problems will arise."
The speed of making money through international trade is really too fast. The problem of Datang's small population is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
The advantage is that due to the vast land and resources of the Tang Dynasty, even though the population is too small, the surplus materials produced can support the external trade of the Tang Dynasty.
But the disadvantages were also obvious. Datang did not have enough population to absorb the benefits brought by this trade.
This will cause prices to soar and the gap between rich and poor to widen rapidly.
The poor will become poorer under the high prices, and the rich will become richer under the high prices. The final result is that the poor will enter a situation where they have no place to stand in a very short period of time, and then they will attack in groups.
Overthrew the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, while Datang is making quick profits through international trade, it must also control the impact of international trade on Datang.
At this stage, we must at least ensure that prices do not rise rapidly.
Therefore, all the money earned cannot be spent in Datang.
It has to be spread in other places and let people from other places help Datang bear this impact.
This is why the ancients liked to hide wealth, and they liked to bury money in the ground, bury it in houses, and stuff it into many unknown holes.
Therefore, even if the money currently earned through international trade is spread out, it will only be buried and hidden by many people who get it. It will not circulate in the market in large quantities and will not cause a surge in prices.
Otherwise, Li Yuanji would not dare to spend the money gained from water transportation, sea transportation, and border markets without any scruples.
It is also impossible to watch Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui spend money from the treasury without restraint.
Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui knew economics, at least some relatively primitive economics, otherwise they would not have become the three prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
It is impossible for Ren Gui to deliberately bring back a hundred carts of rice to stimulate the food price in Chang'an City when he returned to Chang'an City.
So although they couldn't understand all of these words, they generally understood some of them.
Chen Shuda frowned at a speed visible to the naked eye and said: "Your Highness, you mean that spreading too much money will increase the value of all the goods in Datang?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Isn't this obvious? Ren Gui planted rice that could be harvested twice a year in Yuezhou, and achieved two big harvests. After he returned to Chang'an City with some of it, the people of Chang'an City
There have been significant fluctuations in food prices.
In the same way, a lot of money is spread out and falls into the hands of the people. When the people have money, they can buy more goods. If the quantity of various goods does not increase, the prices will go up."
In order to let Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui understand what kind of impact a large amount of money would have on the Tang Dynasty after being spread out, Li Yuanji tried to speak as plainly as possible.
Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Ren Gui understood it, and then their mood became complicated.
After living for so many years, they felt for the first time that too much money was not a good thing.
Not only should you not be reckless, you also have to consider whether the money will make it difficult for others to survive after it is spent.
Among them, only Xiao Yu is more greedy for money, but at this moment, he also has a thought that greed for money is just that.
They were originally from wealthy families, and now they are among the prime ministers and assistants.
They can accomplish anything that money can accomplish, and they can accomplish anything that money cannot accomplish. After understanding today's remarks, they completely understood.
It turns out that money is not that important to those in power.
"Now I ask you for money to build a city in Turks, will you still refuse?"
Li Yuanji stared at Xiao Yu and the others and asked.
The three of them shook their heads together.
When they didn't know what impact too much money would have on Datang, they couldn't refuse Li Yuanji's request for money. Now that they knew it, they couldn't refuse Li Yuanji's request for money.
"I will send someone to deliver the 200,000 guan needed by Silla when I get back."
Chen Shuda said with some interest.
Suddenly I found that my searching for a long time was not only meaningless, but also harmful. I suddenly became less energetic.
Xiao Yu and Ren Gui were similar, they looked like eggplants beaten by frost.
"Then send someone to deliver it as soon as possible. By the way, send someone to contact Lin Yi and the Tubo envoys to see if they are willing to accept my garrison in the Tang Dynasty.
If you are willing, Datang can provide them with some conveniences."
Linyi and Tubo are both on the list that Li Yuanji must deal with in the future. However, the climate in these two places is somewhat abnormal, so if people can be sent there in advance to adapt, it will be helpful for future attempts to deal with these two forces.
This place definitely has huge benefits.
Chen Shuda pondered: "What kind of convenience can we provide them specifically?"
Providing convenience is also graded.
They were allowed to trade with the Tang Dynasty, allowed to send people to study in the Tang Dynasty, allowed some nobles from their countries to move to the Tang Dynasty to live, etc., etc., there were many levels.
Which level of treatment is given to them will directly determine Datang's attitude towards them, so it must be made clear in advance.
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "When necessary, my soldiers from Datang can help them fight."
Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Ren Gui all stared blankly.
So far, Sunisi has not enjoyed this treatment.
Can the two forces of Linyi and Tubo be compared with Suni's lost tribe?!
It’s not that Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Ren Gui look down on Linyi and Tubo, but that Linyi and Tubo are not on the same level as the Turks now. Even if the Turks are now divided into two, it is not Linyi and Tubo who can
Comparatively.
Therefore, they did not understand the treatment given to Linyi and Tubo that was much higher than that of Suni's lost tribes.
Li Yuanji did not hide it, and patiently explained: "The climate of these two places is completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty. If I, the Tang Dynasty, want to visit these two places in the future, I must send people there in advance to adapt to these two places."
It depends on the climate of the place.
So if they can agree, it doesn’t matter if we pay a little price.”
Because this is preparing for the future.
Ren Gui frowned and said: "Lin Yichen can understand His Highness's plan, because Lin Yi has three crops of rice a year. If Lin Yi can be included in the territory of our Datang Dynasty and controlled by our Datang Dynasty, then our Datang City will
No worries about food.
But what is the purpose of Your Highness' plot against Tibet?
Tubo is a bitter and cold place, and it is not of great benefit to us, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanji secretly rolled his eyes.
This is the attitude of people with little knowledge towards Tibet.
Of course, this is not Ren Gui's fault.
Because most people in this era think so, and the remaining people may have only heard of the name Tubo.
So it’s not Ren Gui’s fault.
However, it was difficult for him to explain to Ren Gui his purpose of conquering Tubo. It was impossible for him to tell Ren Gui that Tubo would become a threat to the Tang Dynasty in the future.
In that case, Ren Gui wouldn't believe it either.
So Li Yuanji thought about it and gave Ren Gui an excuse that Ren Gui couldn't refute at all, "I'm going to seal my eldest brother's eldest son here."
Ren Gui opened his mouth and had nothing to say.
This kind of topic is not something he should discuss, and it is not something other people can discuss. This is a matter of Li Yuanji's solemn dictatorship.
