Due to years of war, although the Han Dynasty's logistics system has been continuously improved and has far surpassed that of the northern and southern dynasties, it is still under great pressure and has even directly affected the distribution of social resources.
Infrastructure construction and even workshop construction in many places have been suspended.
If things go on like this, it will definitely affect local economic development.
Now Goguryeo is dishonest in Liaodong, and the attitude of Xueyantuo's tribe is not clear, so the military does not have so much power to invest in the Tuyuhun Plateau.
This is also Zhang Xutuo's plan. Since Your Majesty has already planned to occupy Tuyuhun and plans to adopt a step-by-step approach, then we have no money, so please give us more from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Yu De, on the other hand, decisively seized on this point to fight back. If you don’t have money, save it. It’s better to slow down a little.
Li Xingchen knew what Yu De said made sense.
The focus of my current attention cannot be on Tuyuhun.
The Western Regions and Liaodong are each more important than Tuyuhun.
Li Xingchen was particularly concerned about Tuyuhun, mainly because he was worried about the rise of Tubo in the south. During the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was like a sword over the head of this powerful dynasty. As long as you showed a slight flaw, it would hit you.
Therefore, Li Xinchen had to nip the rise of Tubo in the bud.
"First try to advance from the two directions of Zhangye and Wuwei and build villages." Li Xingchen said slowly, "The specific number and scale, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Households and the Taiwei Mansion each allocated manpower to accompany the army for investigation.
You are allowed to build first and report later."
Zhang Xutuo and Yu De suddenly became quiet and looked at each other. It was rare to see the same expression on each other's faces as theirs.
They all know that this is the final decision. In fact, there will be some wrangling between various departments. However, His Majesty's goal is there. No matter how much wrangling everyone has, they can't get around how to achieve this goal.
Moreover, moving forward from Wuwei and Zhangye requires bypassing the Qilian Mountains and going deep into the territory of Tuyuhun. Those places are all solid plateaus. How many places are suitable for building towns is another matter.
Li Xingchen is not sure about the details at this time, which is reasonable.
And everyone's expressions now are unanimously surprised.
It’s not because of anything else, but because His Majesty gave us the power to build first and then report later.
When the Han Dynasty built border areas, they usually took such measures. Otherwise, if the local and state governments wanted to build roads and develop water conservancy, they would need to report to the court for construction, and I don’t know how much time was wasted every time.
Already.
And as long as the local county government comes up with a sufficiently detailed plan, in fact, even if it is sent to the court, it is just an "accurate report". It is better to report it directly to the state level. After the state and the county have negotiated and it is correct, it can be launched directly.
Build it, and at the same time send someone to report it to the court.
Even if the court feels something is wrong, it can send people to stop it in time. As long as it does not involve the most basic problems, some subsequent problems can always be solved while thinking about how to improve and avoid them.
What's more, the Ministry of Industry has manpower in various places, including many famous craftsmen who have been in charge of building infrastructure and workshops for many years. Their vision, ideas and ideas are not necessarily any worse than those at the Ministry of Industry headquarters. They are even worse.
Have more experience.
But in the final analysis, these constructions are just ordinary constructions. If they succeed, they can benefit one party. If they fail, they will just be a bunch of young people busy themselves. The court will not give them money.
But things are different here in Tuyuhun.
Occupying Tuyuhun and naturalizing its people was a strategic move.
As the first step of the entire strategy, building a walled city is the stepping stone.
If you smash it in the wrong place, it will only cause you a bloody mess, make you miserable, and possibly lose the trust of the Tyuhun people.
Therefore, everyone thought that His Majesty would keep a close eye on this matter.
But His Majesty just gave them the power to make decisions first and then report later?
For a moment, Yu De and the others felt unsure.
Li Xingchen took in all the expressions of these people, tapped the armrest with his hand, and said with interest: "What, you don't dare anymore?"
Yu De and others exchanged looks, not knowing how to answer.
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Tuyuhun is located in a remote area, and it is not worthy of the imperial court to go to war. It's just that this piece of meat is placed in front of us, and it would be a pity not to bite it off. You can go ahead and do it, as long as you can ensure that Hexi is safe. Is it possible?
Without me, the Sixth Department will not know what to do?"
Yu De and others hurriedly bowed together: "I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Li Xingchen also deliberately used this incident to exercise the cooperation ability between the Sixth Department and the military.
The long-term confrontation between the Six Ministries and the military was naturally a good thing for Li Xingchen to maintain imperial power, but it was not necessarily a good thing for the development of the Han Dynasty.
The civil and military forces constrain each other and will inevitably blame each other and hold back each other in terms of people's livelihood and military matters.
This is inevitable.
Now that conflicts have been created, they will inevitably become more and more acute. After all, we cannot expect everyone to be extremely calm when thinking about problems. They must first consider the pros and cons, right and wrong, and then make a decision. Often many people
They just pounced on their opponents, so who cares?
The contradiction between civil and military affairs, the contradiction between the north and the south, was something Li Xingchen had to create.
Otherwise, if these people stick together and work together, who will become their target?
It’s not even Li Xingchen himself.
However, this kind of contradiction could not develop into a contradiction that would affect the development of the entire Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Xingchen still has to try his best to create opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.
You don't have to have much contact with each other in private, but in official matters, you must not abandon the public affairs because of conflicts between them.
Therefore, this time, Li Xingchen seemed to be delegating power, but in fact he was inspecting the military and the Sixth Ministry to see if there was still possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
If such a trivial matter can lead to a heated argument, then Li Xingchen will have to consider whether to change the group of people in the court. Because this means that in their eyes, suppressing the opponent is obviously more important than the direction of the entire country.
Advances in development are even more important.
Putting the cart before the horse is not okay.
Zhang Xutuo, Yu De and others were all thoughtful. We are all smart people, so how could we not understand His Majesty's good intentions?
What monarchs in the past feared most was that their subordinates would join forces to threaten their imperial power. But today, His Majesty can even make appropriate concessions in order to build this country.
In their view, this is already an admirable mind.
"Your Majesty, what should be done with the Huangshui Valley?" Yan Bi did not realize this. After all, he was not standing at this height and did not need to face these problems. Therefore, what he realized was that Li Xingchen seemed to
