Chapter 80 The plan of the eldest grandson
The sudden collapse of the northern border was an unexpected joy. Under the deliberate control of the prime ministers, the internal and external courts all made low-key treatments. Xue Yantuo was defeated and Yi Nan was awarded the title of the head, which was characterized as the Zhenzhu Vijay Khan, which caused fear of the tribes and perished in chaos.
In general, the propaganda that the people of Chang'an received from the court was that there was a chief of the Tiel tribe who was named Zhenzhu Piga Khan, who came to the Tang Dynasty to provoke and clamor for one-on-one fight. However, his own subordinates were scared and afraid of fighting with the Tang Dynasty, so they chopped off the chief's head, which triggered civil strife, and Xue Yantuo was destroyed.
Very scientific and reasonable, without any trace of PS.
Even Lao Zhang thought Fang Xuanling was really good at it, and being the prime minister really requires some acting skills.
This time there was a power vacuum in the grassland. From Beidi to Turkic Tiel, this time the grassland was really without a leader. A pile of loose sand was worse than the great split of the Xianbei.
Of course, the court was very happy, with so many cattle and sheep and so many coolies. But this is also the headache for the court. If a group of dragons have no heads and a pile of loose sand, many vibrant social groups will be born, and then some unnecessary public security incidents will be triggered.
Therefore, Emperor Li issued the highest instruction: the northern border has been an inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty since ancient times, and we must follow the example of the Han Dynasty and establish the Protectorate.
So the question is, who will be the magistrate?
Because of this situation, the prime ministers were barely fighting each other in Tai Chi Palace, and the people from the outside were constantly asking for information. There were countless people running around. None of the Yuan Dynasty’s heroes were left behind, and they were all picked up. The gift-giving people lined up to circle Pingkangfang two times.
In short, this is an era when the sisters in Pingkangfang are busy. They are so busy that the mouth below is still at work, but the mouth above is asked to serve the maid to feed the food...
There are countless high-ranking customers who booked the venue, and the Hu merchants spent money repeatedly, asking the shopkeepers of China Resources to give some tips.
No one is idle.
“Major Protector…”
The leaders of the twelve guards gathered for a meal, and they usually did not allow them to have dinner together, for fear of being said to be plotting to rebel. However, this time the emperor issued the order, asking them to recommend it themselves.
The most promising ones at present are Li Jing and Li Ji, followed by Hou Junji and Zhang Gongjin, and then Yuchi Gong and Cheng Zhijie and Li Daozong.
Changsun Wuji actually had hope. At this time, the old man was an unemployed vagrant and was idle at home. He was so frustrated that he was the emperor's elder brother-in-law that he was so prime minister.
For this matter, Director Li tried his best to get his brother-in-law back.
Otherwise, half of the prime ministers in the court would not serve democracy wholeheartedly, which would be too in line with universal values.
"Your Majesty, if you set up a Protectorate, you will be afraid that the Great Northern Frontier will be established. Now that the Turkic Tielle has successively lost, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If you are detained, you will be afraid that the spring breeze will blew again in a hundred decades and will cause great troubles again."
The grassland incident is useless for the feudal empire in the agricultural era. This is not the farming people who fight against each other, but the farming people who kill monsters for hundreds and hundreds of years. When the farmers can no longer fight, the newly born herders will eat and drink enough and take a one-day tour of robbery.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they are thinking about doing it once and for all. In the Spring and Autumn Period, some people shouted "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians". In addition to holding high the banner of political correctness, they also have the military significance of concentrating their efforts on major tasks.
Changsun Wuji wanted to surpass his father Changsun Sheng. If he just wanted to be a hero and a strong relative of the outside world, it would be meaningless.
"Why wouldn't the auxiliary machine follow the old rules of the Dingxiang Governor's Office?"
"No." Changsun Wuji sighed, "At that time, the court was pushed internally, and the upper and lower levels used their lives. Therefore, even if the Khitan people were not happy, it was not worth worrying. Now there are many inside and outside, like boiling water in the cauldron, each with its own intentions. According to Zhang Gongjin's example, I am afraid that the dispute may not be a result even if it has been a dispute for several years."
Li Shimin nodded. He was the emperor. Of course, he knew that although the universal value of today is "All the kings under the world are the kings, and all the kings are the kings and ministers in the shores of the earth are the kings." However, in fact, the Five Seven Hopes are just foolish. Half of the high-end talent is reluctant to give him pleasure. Even if there is a monster like Cui Hao staying at home, what can you do if you are the emperor if you don't take office?
Instead of people from prominent families, although they actively signed up to work at the Tang Empire Co., Ltd., most of their ideas were to work hard to get promotion and raise and become general managers after the company was done well, and then become prominent families of noble families. In the end, they learned the same as five subjects and seven hopes, and treated the royal family as stupid...
The Protectorate in the north of the Pass, just had a concept, so everyone started to hype it up.
It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty people also played with concept stocks very well.
Even if my family can’t get a large gubernatorial guard, the grassland is so big, I want to go and see it. Isn’t this okay? It’s not necessarily that more than a dozen governors’ offices won’t give them a single official or a half position, right?
Thinking of this, everyone was full of motivation, and maybe they would become the second best person in Zhang Gongjin if they accidentally did it?
"I don't know if there is a successful method for auxiliary machines?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head, old examples and ideas were not advisable. After all, Changsun Wuji was not Zhuge Wuhou, nor was Guan Zhong who could kill others by relying on economic warfare.
"Your Majesty, although I have no good intentions, I have an emergency response."
Suddenly, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin, "An emergency method can retreat the dispute for five to ten years. Within a few years, if the governance of the ministries is effective in a long-term manner, then we will find good laws."
"Tell me, look."
Li Shimin took a sip of the tea. The tea was tributed by Li Simo, which is said to be Bashu Que Tongue. The only difference is that the tea was made by Zhang De.
He picked up the teapot himself, added a cup to Changsun Wuji, then pointed his finger and signaled Changsun Wuji to sit down and drink tea and talk slowly.
After Changsun Wuji sat down, while tidying up his thoughts, he took a sip of the croaker-tongue tea, after a while, he savored the taste, nodded and said, "Good tea."
After putting down the teacup, Changsun Wuji said slowly: "If you set up a new Protectorate, you can set up a position as a Protectorate first."
After a pause, he continued, "But the governor's offices of each department will not be established at first. There can be multiple pastoral supervisors, divided into upper, middle and lower levels. There is no department above, so let it be independent."
"The pastoral prison is only at the fifth and sixth ranks, and it is independent and has little power. What's the use? There is no need to have disputes in the grassland. When something happens, look for the Great Protector, right?"
"No, there are all animal husbandry supervisors in various places, and they will go hand in hand."
Changsun Wuji said, "The destruction of the Yi Man is inherently overestimating his abilities, which aroused dissatisfaction among the tribes such as Qie Zi. In the end, the defeat was killed by Qie Zi. However, the Prince of Huaiyuan used the strategy of driving people with profit, which was really exquisite. In Hebei Pass, those who were brave in private fighting and afraid of public wars were all for profit. The number was as large as 50,000!"
This also shocked Changsun Wuji very much. The noise caused by Li Simo was very huge. This was also the reliance that Li Shimin was willing to come up with a drumming and let Li Simo struggle later.
"Simo is loyal and obliged to do this, and he is an isolated minister."
Dong Li looked relieved and quickly praised him, fearing that his brother-in-law would suddenly slam his loyal dog.
Changsun Wuji didn't care and said in a deep voice: "However, I was just shocked in this matter, and it was something else that made me puzzled."
Li Er was stunned for a moment: "The words of the auxiliary machine are China Resources?"
“That’s right!”
Changsun Wuji recalled the orderly nature of the Dahe Workshop. Although he still didn't understand the mystery, he vaguely felt that the shape of the Dahe Workshop was very special and was different from the workshops elsewhere.
"Although the county governments in the north of the East Road of Guannei Road have support, they can mobilize the people's strength to transport food and grass, but the losses are very small. I am not understanding the wonderful things here. The power of Simo is not an enemy of the northern tribes, but the benefits of Yuan have caused the barbarians to come one after another. I am shocked by Huaiyuan's exploitation, but the barbarians left happily. I am not understanding. The people of the grassland enter summer and farm like a rash man who cannot understand the key points, but they block the river and reclaim 150,000 acres of new fields, all of which are from the hands of herders. I am not understanding."
After saying that, Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "Since the China Resources can reduce the power of the grassland and use it in Middle Earth, it is better to support the court and let it pass. The court needs it, but the pastoral supervisors can draw taxes. The more profits the China Resources Company make, the more taxes the court will draw. Moreover, although this is profitable for merchants, it is far away from China and confusing the Chinese people, and killing more and more."
Li Shimin understood Changsun Wuji's meaning.
It is currently impossible to rely on the direct rule of the imperial court on the vast territory of the former Tiel Turkic land. If the rule of throne is given, the official title of the grassland tribes will be given to them and the title of increasing their scope of activities.
However, now only the Protectorate is established. How to arrange the military prefectures will be left to stand for a few years before looking at it. Anyway, no one can threaten the Central Plains. But it is not that the grassland is just resting and recuperating like this. There are more things to do. Wherever it can be grazed, it will be controlled by the state, and a herd prison will be set up, and there will be counting how many cattle, sheep and horses will be counted.
Wherever you can trade, you will be placed in the mutual market supervision. The court and everyone do business. Of course, taxes are collected, in other words, protection fees.
At present, the only thing that can consume the human resources of the grassland ethnic group is a strange place, except for war. So although I don’t know why, it’s better to let Huaiyuan do this for a few years and then look at the effect.
After thinking for a long time, Director Li nodded and then issued another order, which was semi-confidential, to Zhang Caozhi, a close comrade-in-arms comrade-in-arms company in Huaiyuan City, a loyal friend of Zhang Caozhi, a man from Liangfeng County.
