Listening to this kid's ramblings, where he was daydreaming, and where he wanted to take care of his two daughters, Li Shimin wanted to kick this brat out——
Forget it, because he drank too much, I don't want to be on the same level as him.
Almost everyone was stunned.
This brat, is he seeking death?
Say this in front of the emperor?
Everyone here is Li Shimin's confidant. Who doesn't know that the so-called son-in-law in the palace of Hejian County is actually Li Shimin's son-in-law?
Marrying Princess Yuzhang and the young lady from Duke Su's residence at the same time is already a stroke of luck. It's unbelievable that this guy actually wants to marry Princess Changle as his concubine?
Just when they were waiting for Li Shimin to get furious, they saw Li Shimin lifting the jug and filling it for the prince, and snorted angrily.
"You'd better wake up - this is impossible..."
Everyone:…
Your Majesty, you can bear this!
"What's impossible? I'm telling you, Lao Li, you can't push back on our Zian's affairs..."
Don’t interfere with your son-in-law’s request, just support him!
As soon as Cheng Yaojin stepped through the door, he didn't even hear what the two people in front of him said. He heard Li Shimin saying to Wang Zi'an that it was impossible.
How can this be done?
Without saying a word, he directly stood up for his son-in-law.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Li Shimin was also angry and funny. This old man had never been so concerned about helping his son get a title!
Although Fang Xuanling also wanted to complain, he was currently focused on how to formulate the plan in Mobei. He was afraid that the topic would get further and further away, so he quickly coughed twice and stopped the topic.
"I just heard the young master say that the Protectorate of the Han Dynasty was just a temporary government. So in the young master's opinion, how should the court deal with it——"
Wang Zi'an was not familiar with Fang Xuanling, so he felt a little uncomfortable teasing her randomly. He pondered for a moment and considered his words.
"The Protectorate of the Han Dynasty focused on protection. It used strong military force to intimidate foreigners and protect trade routes. Therefore, when the Han Dynasty perished, the policy was terminated. The Western Regions once again fell into turmoil and chaos, and failed to truly integrate with the Central Plains.
One body..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an casually picked up a cold dish with chopsticks, then stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Come on, don't be stunned, let's chat while eating..."
Of course, bragging should be done while drinking, which will create more atmosphere and feeling. Although Wang Zi'an knew that there were a group of big guys sitting around him, he still didn't want to make the wine shop so serious.
Only then did Li Shimin realize that his group seemed to have acted a little too seriously just now, which did not fit the character. Fortunately, Wang Zi'an seemed to have drunk too much and did not suspect anything. Well, fortunately!
"Come, let's go together -"
Li Shimin also quickly raised his chopsticks to greet him.
Everyone:…
I really can’t eat anymore!
Then, everyone picked up their chopsticks with a forced smile and made an expression of being addicted to food.
Fortunately, Wang Zi'an and Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to this, so they breathed a sigh of relief. You can drink a little more wine, but you won't eat the food if you can't eat it.
"So, if the imperial court really wants to settle things once and for all and consider the long-term interests of future generations, copying the Han Dynasty's Protectorate Palace is definitely not the best idea..."
"Then from the young master's point of view, what should we do?"
Fang Xuanling leaned forward subconsciously, a look of expectation flashed in her eyes.
Wang Zi'an glanced at Fang Xuanling, and then looked again. Although they were pretending to eat food and drink, these big guys had their ears pricked up, and there was a smile on their faces.
"Establish the Mobei Governor's Mansion——"
Governor's Mansion?
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.
The Dudu Mansion is not a new thing. During the Takenori period, more than 40 of them had been set up across the country. Although some adjustments were made after Li Shimin came to the throne, the number was still quite large.
Can the problem of Mobei be solved by setting up a governor's office?
Seeing everyone's disapproval, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and gently put down his wine glass.
Pretend - ahem, it's time to show off your real skills!
"My Governor's Mansion is different from the current Governor's Mansion——"
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he glanced at the big guys in front of him, and when he saw them all looking over, he coughed dryly and continued calmly.
"Why did the Turks become a hidden danger in the Central Plains and repeatedly invade the borders? There may be many reasons, but the most critical factor is that his tribe is too powerful. Because it is big, it is strong..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an showed a serious look on his face.
"Therefore, on the basis of maintaining the deterrence of force, the governor's office will remove the prefectures and establish counties, divide the original Turkic tribes into more than a dozen, or even dozens, and divide and rule them. At the same time..."
Divide and conquer?
Li Shimin and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Once a large tribe is divided into several or even dozens of small tribes, it will become a mess. With their own interests, it will be difficult to concentrate their strength.
Even Cheng Yaojin, who liked to interrupt, rarely interrupted Wang Zi'an's words. Wang Zi'an couldn't help but secretly pouted, it was really boring, there was no one who knew how to praise.
He secretly complained in his heart and had no choice but to continue.
"At the same time, they will be divided into three, six or nine levels according to the situation. People of different levels have different rights. Some people can even be allowed to enter the county government to assist in the management of the local people..."
"Wonderful - this way, their attention will be focused on the internal struggle, and everyone will try their best to climb up -"
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately understood what Wang Zi'an meant and couldn't help but marvel. Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly nodded, this method really has merit.
"However, these are just measures to restrain the government. They treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If we want to solve the problem once and for all, the most important thing is to look at three policies——"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an straightened his back and spoke almost every word.
"Build the city, live together, and calm the people——"
"Cast City?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, and Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Mobei is extremely cold, bricks and stones are hard to find, and even after the city was built, it was of little use. Mobei is not only vast and sparsely populated, but the herdsmen live by the water..."
Although this kid was smart and had many clever ideas, he was still too young. Wei Zheng couldn't help but remind him.
When Wang Zi'an heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Although Mobei is extremely cold, it is rich in underground coal and iron resources. There are only a few places I know of. We only need to use local materials, dig charcoal and bake bricks. With hundreds of thousands of captives here, within a few dozen days, we can build a mountain in the desert.
Several or even a dozen large cities were erected in the north..."
