One hundred and seventy first chapters in the palace
Li Tai handed over his plan and then went back to the Yue Palace.
After all, even if you leave, you can't leave so anxiously. It's not a critical moment of life and death. Go back as usual and rest as usual.
Then, as soon as Li Tai finished washing up and was about to lie down, an eunuch came to proclaim Li Tai into the palace and said that it was Li Shimin's summoning.
What could Li Tai do? He could only put on his clothes again and ran over helplessly.
When Li Tai arrived at Liangyi Hall, he was shocked. Tang Jian, the Minister of War of Honglu Temple, Li Jing, the Minister of War of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dou Jing, the Minister of Revenue, Dai Zhou, the Minister of Revenue, Wen Yanbo, the Minister of the Central Committee, Wang Gui, the Minister of the Shizhong, and the Secretary of the Shizhong.
Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling, but unfortunately he didn't see Wei Zheng.
Li Tai couldn't help feeling a little nervous, feeling that he could participate in this standard meeting?
"Qingque, I have already shown your plan to pacify Liaodong for you, but you have some doubts about your policies and need you to answer them.
If the answer is good, you will be ready to go to Youzhou. If the answer is not good, then I can only arrange another place for you!"
Li Shimin said with a little expectation.
Obviously, Li Shimin was just watching the fun and not disliked the big deal, and at the same time he also figured out Li Tai's strategy.
"This is a matter of duty!" Li Tai nodded, "I would like to ask all the ministers to check for Qingque's omissions and fill in the gaps. Qingque thanked me here."
When everyone saw Li Tai's words, they looked at each other and planned to choose someone to come out and ask Li Tai first.
The eyes of the group of people started from Fang Xuanling and looked at Wang Gui, Wen Yanbo, Dai Zhou, Dou Jing, Li Jing, and Tang Jian. When Tang Jian fell, Tang Jian could only come out with a tough bullet.
Tang Jian never expected that he, the third-rank Honglu, had some official positions and status.
Tang Jian came out to salute Li Tai and Li Shimin first, and then said, "King of Yue, today the saint called us to come.
I read the strategies you wrote about, using Youzhou as the core to pacify foreign races, accumulate supplies, and pacify Liaodong.
I felt something deeply and was even more confused, so I asked the King of Yue to come over and answer it for a while.
For example, King Yue proposed that the cooperation of the Honglu Temple unite the local alien races.
I am curious. King Yue is preparing to need my Honglu Temple. How can I cooperate with you?"
Tang Jian explained the whole story to Li Tai in one breath, and raised his own questions.
Obviously, when Tang Jian saw Li Tai, he was really confused and had no preparation, so he just reminded him.
For Li Shimin, it was clear that Li Tai was asked to accept inquiries from the court as a group of civil officials without preparation.
Whether Li Tai can convince all court officials is second, and more importantly, it is to see how much preparation Li Tai is for Youzhou.
Simply put, Li Shimin must look at it as Li Tai's attitude.
After all, Youzhou is almost the most important city for the imperial court in the Northeast. Even if Li Tai is capable and persevering, Li Shimin is somewhat worried about letting a prince go.
So this group of people was the final test for Li Tai.
When Li Tai heard Tang Jian's words, he said, "Tang Honglu still remembers the Zheng Guo Canal that was still being built!"
When Tang Jian heard Li Tai's words, he felt a little surprised.
Li Tai said: "Because I used the Eastern Turkic tribes in Gaoling, I feel that they are still very good at labour as corvee.
Then I think this solution can be used in Youzhou, allowing foreigners in Youzhou to work, change their customs through labor, and make them Han people.
Compared to the fact that Honglu Temple needs to travel thousands of miles to transfer the alien race to Gaoling, the alien race can be sent into my hands directly in Youzhou.
It would not be difficult to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to change the household registration after they built multiple facilities for the Tang Dynasty and completed labor reform."
When Tang Jian heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but frown.
For the Honglu Temple, in theory, all foreign races had to deal with the Honglu Temple, but in the past, the Honglu Temple only managed the upper class of the foreign race and turned a blind eye to the lower class people.
After all, if you are bothering about a few alien people, the investment and return are not proportional!
But now, as long as Li Tai has any project, he will recruit many foreign races from Honglu Temple to replace corvee.
This invisibly enhanced the function of the Honglu Temple, especially those who were originally just picking up and dropping off, but now they have gradually become the number one slave trader in the Tang Dynasty... No, it is the human resources development department, so this value will naturally go up.
It's right.
Moreover, if King Yue can use this method to operate here, how about building bridges and roads in other places in the Tang Dynasty!
As his vision opened, Tang Jian had already felt that the original Qingshui yamen of Honglu Temple was now becoming more and more powerful.
Tang Jian gave Li Tai solemnly, and for Tang Jian, this reason was enough to convince him.
However, Dou Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately walked out and looked at Li Tai and said:
"The King of Yue means that at that time, there will be a large number of foreign people who will become the people of our Tang Dynasty.
If this is the case, wouldn’t it be a mixture of Hu and Han? I’m afraid it will cause the Five Barbarians to invade China again!”
"It must be registered!" Li Tai said,
"Only if they have registered them, if they have committed anything, we will deal with them with Tang Rule.
Tang Dynasty’s customs are higher than their customs. Only when they do not violate Tang Dynasty’s rules can they handle things according to their own customs.”
Hearing this, Dou Jing understood a little bit what Li Tai was going to do. It was very simple and just right.
And for China, this is exactly what it means.
If these aliens really become natives, press their handprints, and become Chinese people, they can manage them purely by the Tang Dynasty. This is the most important thing.
So Dou Jing thought about it and did not raise any objections. After all, at least from Zheng Baiqu’s pilot, these Eastern Turkic remnants were assimilated quite well. If they were allowed to register now, they would have successfully joined the Tang Dynasty.
Household registration.
At this time, Li Jing stood up and said to Li Tai, "I am very interested in your idea of pacifying Liaodong Goryeo, King of Yue."
"Shangshu Li, do your best to explain clearly if you have any suggestions!" Li Tai said to Li Jing.
"Let's start with the plan of King Yue using Guan Zhong!" Li Jing said, "The first step in King Yue's plan is to open up business.
When the imperial court came forward, it would be great that Goguryeo could trade, but what if Goguryeo didn’t trade!"
"Our Tang Navy has also been training in the Bohai Sea for three years. Whether it is suppressing bandits or fishing, it is time to find an opponent to try the standard!" Li Tai said,
"Let the Tang navy go out and harass Goguryeo directly along the shore.
Goguryeo has a small land area and a limited area of farming. After a few harasses, we don’t ask for cede land, but just open trade ports, which is very reasonable!”
"But if this is the case, this port that opened the shore will be closely watched by Goguryeo, and it will be difficult to achieve a surprise attack!"
Li Jing said from a practical perspective that this open trading port is difficult to play a role.
"That was the fuse that caused the demise of the Sui Dynasty. It was impossible to expect Goguryeo to be destroyed directly!" Li Tai sighed, "It would be great to be able to open trade ports and implement Guan Zhong's strategy, and erode Goguryeo a little bit!"
"I think King Yue may have underestimated Goguryeo!" Wang Gui said,
"Goguryeo is quite resilient. If we can attack Goguryeo along the coast, will Goguryeo be able to attack the Tang Dynasty along the coast?
If so, the Tang Dynasty would have to increase its defense line for thousands of miles!"
When everyone heard Wang Gui’s statement, they couldn’t help but become serious. This was indeed an insignificant matter!
"This is very likely!" Li Tai said calmly:
"But the navy is not that easy to train. It requires not only soldiers, but also resources and skills. After it is cultivated, it needs maintenance and maintenance every year.
To be honest, not to mention that I, the Tang Dynasty navy, may not lose to Goguryeo, or even if I lose, as long as the soldiers can survive, our navy will only become stronger and stronger, but Goguryeo is destined to become weaker and weaker!"
"Why?" Wang Gui asked curiously when he heard Li Tai's words.
"It's nothing more, I'm just hurting others!
The size of Goguryeo is there. No matter how Goguryeo wants to develop, it determines that their number and scale are limited.
But for us, even if the navy was defeated and wiped out, as long as the people were fine and the supplies were enough, the shipbuilding would just be built. We would continue to fight with Goguryeo!"
Li Tai said, "Even if ten is replaced by one, as long as we can exhaust Goguryeo to death, then we will consume it to death!"
Wang Gui was a little stunned when he heard Li Tai's method. Even the others present looked at Li Tai with different eyes.
Haven’t the military strategy always been about how to fight with less?
Why do you hurt people at any time when you come to Li Tai's mouth and change ten to one at any time? Is this really reliable?
Although he achieved this position, Wang Gui really doesn't know if it makes sense for Li Tai to show that he should use his power to suppress others.
He couldn't help but look at Li Jing. After all, only Li Jing, the military god, could answer his doubts.
Li Jing looked at Wang Gui with some confusion and could only say with a wry smile,
"If you use the King of Yue's fighting style, you are afraid that the gods on the other side will not be able to stand it, but can King of Yue really have such speed in building ships!"
"Stop and stop!" Li Tai looked at Li Jing and said, "Let this issue be put aside first. I mean, can you force Goguryeo to trade with us, at least in a short time!"
"If it's just a requirement for trade, I think Goguryeo wouldn't refuse!" Fang Xuanling said with a final say, "But this kind of trade is likely to be broken when Goguryeo thinks the time is ripe!"
Li Tai shook his head and said, "Once the door of trade is opened, it will not be so easy to close it!"
When we have trades with all the princes and ministers of Goguryeo, closing the trade gate is equivalent to declaring war on the entire Goguryeo.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but squint their eyes. It was obvious that they didn't think of such methods, but they had never thought about them from this direction.
But think about it, Li Tai always uses money to open the way, which is really Li Tai's way.
Li Tai said: "Of course, for us, we also need such a window to Goguryeo.
After all, Goguryeo was able to make the Sui Dynasty fail three times, which shows the resilience of the Goguryeo nation.
I don’t think Goguryeo is easy to deal with, so using this window to allow us to see the situation in Goguryeo and the local information in Goguryeo, which are very important.”
At least you can know the mountains and terrain in Goguryeo based on the business path, and you will be more prepared to attack Goguryeo in the future!"
When everyone heard Li Tai's words, they understood the importance of commerce.
It’s like cutting a wound on Goguryeo’s body. Not only did it make Goguryeo bleeding, but it was more important to use this wound to contaminate the entire Goguryeo.
I have to say that after hearing this, everyone understood that Li Tai's strategy of pacifying Liaodong was worth enough.
The entire policy is not achieved overnight, but is taken step by step. If you think the next step can be implemented, then you can implement the next step.
Moreover, each step can increase the chances of winning if you really send troops to Goguryeo in the future, but as long as both sides do not intend to start a war, trade can be carried out between the two sides.
In short, as long as there is no war, no one knows whether this trade is poison or sugar. It can be said that this is the best policy that everyone can accept.
"But how did you come from money?" Fang Xuanling stood up and looked at everyone being moved by Li Tai. Fang Xuanling knew that if she wanted to really put her brag into practice, the most important thing was money.
.
Even though Li Tai proposed this plan, even if Li Tai has proved that he is really able to make money, this time it is different.
Because this is planning a country.
The development of Gaoling only proves Li Tai's internal affairs talent, but if you want to plan a country, even if you can achieve a huge impact, Li Tai needs at least four taels!
But compared to the country, the resources needed to plan a country are more.
“I need the right to interfere with the development plans of several surrounding states with Youzhou as the core.
I need to break the court's salt and iron specialty and be able to make salt and make iron by myself.
I need the escort of the navy to ensure the right to trade with Goguryeo!”
Li Tai said the rights he needed in one breath, took a breath, and then slowly said,
"If the court can give me these rights, I will definitely prepare for the court to command a 100,000 army to conquer Goguryeo without affecting the taxes of Youzhou and the surrounding areas.
”
Everyone present heard Li Tai's words. Although they frowned, they did not feel that what Li Tai wanted was too much.
After all, what Li Tai wants is internal authority, not military authority.
For anyone present, since Li Tai wants to be in administration, it is natural to need more internal authority.
After all, as long as Li Tai does not involve military power, to be honest, Li Tai actually doesn’t have much to get!
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai's confident look and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Although Li Tai did not answer his own question positively, it is undeniable that Li Tai has answered this question.
Because Li Tai did not think about asking the court for money from the beginning. On the contrary, as long as the court gives Li Tai the rights, Li Tai said that I would pay the money for the country by myself!
This made Fang Xuanling feel a little confused. Youzhou, no, even if the entire Hebei Road has so much money?
