Li Kuan took the lead and rushed into the gate of Liaodong City.

Along the way, he had basically understood the situation of the entire Goguryeo battlefield.

It is clear that the time has come to distribute the fruits of victory.

"Lord Wang, represented by the iron-making workshop, almost all the workshops under our royal palace have already arranged personnel to come to Liaodong to start the branch; Nanshan Construction Engineering has begun to build a cement road from Youzhou to Yingzhou, and several other businesses in Chang'an City have begun to build cement workshops in Liaodong City. ”

As soon as Li Kuan entered the city, there were people from the Chu Palace's palace shouting near the city gate to greet his prince.

Through the previous flying pigeon biography, the Chu Wangfu had already begun to send materials and personnel to Liaodong.

It is no secret that Li Kuan is about to come to Liaodong City.

Dai Quan, as the technical authority of the Chu Palace, almost all the workshops came to open a branch this time, and he naturally followed.

"Well, move fast! Let the merchants feel the urgency of building Liaodong, miss this opportunity, and it will not be so easy to have such a good opportunity in the future. ”

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and Li Kuan lowered his horse speed and talked to Dai Quan.

The meeting will definitely go directly to see Li Shimin first, and will definitely discuss the arrangements for Liaodong in the future.

It is also necessary to learn more about the situation of your own palace in Liaodong here.

Of course, he didn't think about eating all the commercial interests of Liaodong, a newly built province, in his stomach alone, which was impossible and inconsistent with Li Kuan's plan for the future.

Liaodong is a good place, the land is fertile, the terrain is flat, and the mineral deposits are abundant.

Many ideas that are difficult to develop in the level can be tried here.

The subordinates understand that in fact, the imperial court has also encouraged merchants to develop in Liaodong, and the Datang Transportation Group has now officially opened a public carriage from Chang'an to Liaodong. The public carriages from Shuozhou to Youzhou, Youzhou to Yingzhou, and Yingzhou to Liaodong City have also been moved. Nowadays, you can see businesses from all over the world coming to Liaodong City every day. ”

"Does Datang Daily have a writer in Liaodong City?"

After listening to Dai Quan's words, Li Kuan didn't say anything more, but turned around and asked Wang Xuance about the Datang Daily.

"Lord Wang, King Luo Bin personally brought a few writers to stay in Liaodong, but it is possible that he is still looking for materials in other cities."

Wang Xuance, as Li Kuan's personal staff, controlled almost all the affairs of the Chu Palace.

It is impossible for Li Kuan to follow up on many small things personally, so he can only mention them and arrange for Wang Xuance to implement them.

"Well, go back and let him open a separate page on the "Datang Daily" to introduce the customs and products of Liaodong; The imperial court will soon make a big move, and everyone will be more interested in the situation in Liaodong than usual. ”

The new establishment of Liaodong Road completely incorporated Liaodong into the territory of Datang.

This is something that Li Kuan had suggested to Li Shimin before the expedition.

Many bigwigs in the DPRK and China have also heard of it.

If the imperial court had gone to great lengths to set up Liaodong Province at that time, but there would have been no effect under the cost of the people and money, it is estimated that there would definitely be a group of people there to impeach Li Kuan.

Although Li Kuan was not afraid of impeachment, he did not want the development of Liaodong to end in failure.

……

"Your Majesty has become a martial artist, for thousands of years, to unify Liaodong, the luck of all the people!"

After a few months, when he saw Li Shimin again, Li Kuan naturally wanted to send a good meal.

Anyway, you don't need money to say good things!

"Kuan'er, it's just the right time for you to come back, this is the map of Liaodong that I asked people to sort out, come and see, how are you going to develop Liaodong?"

Li Shimin didn't hear Li Kuan's nonsense, and went straight to the point.

In the hall, Cen Wenwen, Niu Jinda and others were already there, and even Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji, Tang Jian and others also rushed over from Chang'an City.

The addition of a new channel involves a lot of problems.

Up and down in the middle of the court, naturally very concerned.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that there are more than 2 million Goguryeo people in Liaodong today, but the number of Tang people is no more than 100,000. To develop Liaodong, the first thing that needs to be solved is the security of the Tang people. ”

Maslow's needs are divided into five needs, which are physiological needs, safety needs, belonging and love needs, respect needs, and self-realization needs.

Food, water, air, sleep, and the like are not a problem in Liaodong.

As for belonging and love, respect and so on, these are all issues after the need for security has been solved.

Therefore, Li Kuan's first proposal is to solve the security problem.

This security does not mean that there is still much war to happen in Liaodong, and how many troops are needed to suppress it; Instead, ordinary people come to Liaodong, or live in Liaodong, and they must have a sense of security.

Otherwise, Liaodong will never be the Liaodong of the Tang Dynasty.

"Security issues? Are you saying that the existence of these two million Goguryeo people threatens the safety of our people in the Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Shimin saw that Li Kuan mentioned the quantitative comparison between the Tang and Goguryeo people, and thought that the security problem that Li Kuan said was caused by the difference in quantity.

"Yes and no!"

As soon as Li Kuan's words came out, Li Shimin glared at him unhappily, and he was so frightened that he hurried to continue.

"Two million Goguryeo people is not a problem in itself, and even Weichen thinks that the number is small, and it would be better if there were a few more millions. However, how to manage these two million Goguryeo people and how to bring them into the rule of our Tang Dynasty is the most critical factor in solving the security problem. ”

Li Kuan saw that Li Shimin did not mean to interrupt his speech, so he continued to explain.

"The imperial court will definitely encourage the people of Guanzhong, Hedong Province and Hebei Province to emigrate to Liaodong in the future, but far water cannot quench their thirst; In a short period of time, the number of Goguryeo people in Liaodong must have greatly exceeded that of Tang people. In this context, WeChen has several ways to solve security problems. ”

Li Kuan looked at everyone's reactions and continued to explain.

"First of all, among the soldiers who went out this time, half of them could be left behind, and the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps could be directly established in various parts of Liaodong, responsible for agriculture, commerce, transportation and other matters, and assuming the responsibility of garrisoning the frontier in Tuntian; In the Production and Construction Corps, the agricultural equipment produced by the machinery workshop of Guanshishan Academy can be used on a large scale to grow rice, a large number of cement roads can be built, and the salt trade in Liaodong can be monopolized, and the construction of Liaodong Road can be assisted. ”

Li Shimin and the others thought that Li Kuan had thrown out some earth-shattering ideas, but it turned out to be Tuntian.

The name of the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps in the Sui and Tang Dynasties is a bit new, but in their opinion, what they did was actually Tuntian's business.

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji first stood up and expressed his opinion, saying: "The Book of Han, the Western Regions Passed Down, the Canal Plow" has a cloud: since the beginning of Emperor Wu's passage to the Western Regions, the school captain was placed, and the Tuntian Canal Plough. His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this method of Tuntian is not a new method; To solve the security problem in Liaodong, it is very difficult to rely on Tuntian alone, right? ”

"That's right! Tuntian alone can't solve this problem, and Tuntian is just one of the methods. And, the production and construction corps I am talking about, what I do is different from the Tuntian of the previous dynasty, the specific differences, I will give His Majesty a separate twist and turn in the future, today I will talk about the arrangements outside the Tuntian. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji would jump out and scare himself, and Li Kuan was not surprised at all.

Of course, he didn't take it too seriously.

Over the years, there have been many people who have scolded themselves, and I haven't seen a few who have a good end.

"In addition to the formation of the production and construction corps, as soon as possible, we should win over, divide, and attack a group of Goguryeo people, and reduce all the Goguryeo nobles and official families who have Han blood on their hands to slaves, and this number must reach at least 300,000!"

"What? 300,000 people? Reducing so many Goguryeo people to slaves, isn't it that the situation in Liaodong that has just stabilized will immediately become chaotic? ”

At this time, Cen Wenwen was also a little unable to sit still, and quickly stood up to express his opposition.

On this trip to Li Shimin's royal expedition, Cen Wenwen participated in it from beginning to end, and he didn't want the fruits of his hard work to be lost by Li Kuan.

"The people can carry the boat, or they can overturn the boat. Since my Datang has established Liaodong Dao, the original Goguryeo people are naturally the people of my Datang. Kuan'er, you have expanded the scope of the attack so much, and you are very suspicious of settling accounts after the autumn, how can the Goguryeo people be willing to work for my Tang Dynasty at that time? ”

Li Shimin obviously did not approve of Li Kuan's approach.

Since ascending the throne, there have been very few condemned prisoners in the Tang Dynasty compared with previous dynasties, and Li Shimin has continued to reduce the number of eunuchs, palace maids and other slaves in the palace.

Now that 300,000 slaves are going to be created in Liaodong at once, this remark is really difficult to accept.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether the Goguryeo people are willing to die for my Tang Dynasty! The important thing is that they can be used by my Datang! It is naturally inappropriate to simply reduce hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people to slavery; However, at the same time, we can elevate some Goguryeo people who are close to the Tang Dynasty to some status and give some privileges.

For example, the servant army led by the Goguryeo Song Jian and Zhu Biao can set an example and let them become the nobles of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong Province, replacing the original group. These nobles, who were originally born into ordinary people, must be happy to see the former high-ranking Goguryeo officials become their slaves, and they certainly don't want these 'slaves' to turn over and become their masters again. ”

Li Kuan will throw out this earth-shattering point of view, and he is naturally prepared.

"You mean to pit the Goguryeo against themselves? We, Datang, stand aside to maintain this balance? ”

Fang Xuanling on the side grasped Li Kuan's meaning a little, but felt that there seemed to be no way to completely solve the security problem by relying on these means alone.

"Fang Xiang, so to speak. But there's more to it than that. In addition to playing a batch and pulling a batch, we also scored a batch. There are not only Goguryeo people in Liaodong, but also the Murwei people, the Jin people, the Khitan people, the Buyeo people, and even some Turkic people, and we can directly assign a rank to these people.

The basic idea is that the Tang people are the first class of people, the Turks are the second class of people, the Murwei, the Yan Ya, the Khitan, and Buyeo are the third class people, and the Goguryeo people are the fourth class people. Of course, this rank is not completely fixed, as long as certain conditions are met, the Goguryeo people can also become the first class, and the Murowei people can also be reduced to the fourth class.

Personnel of different levels enjoy different rights in Liaodong. The first-class could move freely within Liaodong and pay the lowest taxes, and in the event of a conflict between the first-class and the fourth-class people, the law could give priority to the protection of the rights of the first-class people. And the lower-level personnel, if they do things that are conducive to the security of Liaodong and the development of Datang, they can be smoothly promoted to the next level.

Even if a low-level person has not made any contributions, as long as there is no bad record in ten years, an appropriate promotion can also be considered...... In short, it is to break all the order and rules of the people living in the land of Liaodong and live again according to the way of life that our Datang has formulated for them......"

This time, Li Kuan said in one breath his viewpoint of "beating a group, pulling a group, and dividing a group".

In a short period of time, it is impossible for Datang to emigrate too many people to Liaodong.

So in order to attract the people to take the initiative to migrate to Liaodong, attract more merchants to develop in Liaodong, and at the same time let the Goguryeo people in Liaodong be suppressed without losing the expectation of life, then it is necessary to formulate a special set of rules.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that this proposal of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is feasible! Creating hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo slaves can directly solve the original Goguryeo nobles and officials, and take all the remaining influence of Goguryeo away; The most important thing is that these hundreds of thousands of slaves can bring a lot of labor to my Datang.

Half of the soldiers who followed His Majesty on the expedition this time will stay to establish the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps. If you want them to stay in Liaodong with peace of mind, the best thing is to let them start a family in Liaodong. However, any soldier who has not yet married can be rewarded with at least one young Goguryeo woman, and a certain number of slaves can also be rewarded according to merit and rank.

In this way, it not only solves the problem of the cost of rewarding the army, but also solves the problem of the future stability and manpower of the production and construction corps. At that time, Datang Transportation Group can also assist in transporting the families of the soldiers of the Corps to Liaodong, so that the Production and Construction Corps can be completely integrated with Liaodong. ”

Niu Jinda heard what Li Kuan said, and immediately combined it with the matter of the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps that Li Kuan had just mentioned.

As a general, he must strive for some due benefits for his subordinates in a timely manner.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks this is a good idea! Tens of thousands of soldiers were left to set up the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps, and then hundreds of thousands of slaves were directly rewarded to these soldiers, so that they could open up wasteland and farm land in various parts of Liaodong Province with peace of mind. Part of the output is paid to the court, and part belongs to themselves. ”

Tang Jian, as the head of the household, immediately expressed his support after hearing Niu Jinda's words.

Li Shimin drove the expedition himself and achieved such a huge victory.

When the time comes, there will definitely be all kinds of rewards.

These days, he is still having a headache about how to arrange the reward materials and money of the soldiers.

At present, if Li Kuan and Niu Jinda's suggestions are taken into account, the reward materials that the household department needs to consider can be reduced by at least half.

Even if you are a little more ruthless and directly let Li Shimin leave eighty percent of the soldiers in Liaodong, then the pressure on the household department will be even less.

Anyway, Liaodong Province also needs to station some soldiers and horses, and the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps is both soldiers and people, and it does not need to allocate money to support it, and it can also bring additional taxes and grain and grass.

Why not?

As for the life or death of the Goguryeo people, what does it matter to him?

"This suggestion of His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a certain degree of feasibility. Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we can discuss it again in the future, and refine the various regulations and arrangements before announcing it. ”

Fang Xuanling listened to it on the side, and also felt very excited.

Although according to Li Kuan's plan, it seems that the way of ruling Liaodong Province has become more backward.

However, taking a step backwards can sometimes lead to progress.

Fang Xuanling is not the kind of rigid person.

"Well, I know the opinions of all Aiqing. Kuan'er, if you have anything else to say, let's say it together? ”

Li Shimin nodded, obviously agreeing with everyone's statement.

"There is also a third, that is, the first and second class people of Liaodong Province are allowed to hold all kinds of bows and crossbows and swords; All prefectures and counties in Liaodong Province should have cadets from the Tang Royal Military Academy come over to take charge of the construction of the reserves. Li Kuan saw that everyone seemed to be ready to interrupt him, so he immediately quickly explained, "The reserve force is actually a reserve force. I think that in the future, it will be an important force in building and defending Datang, and we can promote it in Liaodong Province first, and then promote it in the whole Datang according to the situation. ”

"The reserve forces of Liaodong Province are based on the officers and men who are now serving in the army, and are based on reserve officers and soldiers, and all first- and second-class civilians living in Liaodong must receive reserve training. Of course, this training should not affect the farming as much as possible. ”

Datang's finances have improved greatly.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to ask the household department to raise too many active troops.

Everyone present is very clear about this truth.

Now that Li Kuan has thrown out such a reserve plan, it sounds even better than the government military system.

At that time, Liaodong Province will have the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps and reserve troops, and at that time, as long as a small number of soldiers and horses are stationed in key military places such as Wugu City, Domestic City, Xincheng City, and Liaodong City, the situation in Liaodong will be stabilized.

That's a really good idea.

"That's a brilliant plan! Your Majesty, Weichen fully agrees with the proposal of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Tang Jian, the head of the household, first stood up to express his support.

There is no way, as long as it can reduce the burden on the household, he supports it.

"With a three-pronged approach, and then formulate a special law for Liaodong Province, the security problem can really be solved. Maybe other people in Guannai, after seeing the new situation in Liaodong Road, will take the initiative to come to Liaodong to ask for a living! ”

Although the eldest grandson Wuji is very dissatisfied with Li Kuan, when the overall situation has been decided, he will not do anything like a mantis arm.

On the contrary, he immediately thought in his heart that he wanted the iron-making workshop of the eldest grandson's family to hurry to Liaodong to start a semicolon.

"Weichen also thinks it's feasible, but for the sake of a long-term plan, it's best to let all the people in Liaodong become the people of my Tang Dynasty. The Ministry of Education is now supporting the construction of Mongolian schools and primary schools on a large scale, and Weichen feels that the next step of the Ministry of Education's work can be put in Liaodong Road. Not only will the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps need Mongolian schools and primary schools in the future, but also the children of first- and second-class people in various places will also need the opportunity to enter the academy to study, and even free or almost free learning opportunities. ”

Cen Wenwen made an addition to Li Kuan's proposal.

Triggered by Cen Wenwen, Tang Jian, the "nodding party", also took the initiative to throw out a suggestion, "Not only should education be focused, but the medical center should also be built in Liaodong as soon as possible, so that everyone no longer worries about getting sick and has no place to treat; At the same time, it can also make the original people feel the exquisite art of my Datang, and make Datang more identify with Datang. ”

"The focus is still on transportation, to build the cement road from Youzhou to Liaodong City, as well as the cement road between the main cities in Liaodong as soon as possible, so as to truly solve the development problem of Liaodong, and at the same time solve the security problem of Liaodong."

On this expedition, Niu Jinda has a very deep understanding of the role of cement roads.

From Chang'an to Youzhou, it was smooth sailing, and the marching speed was very fast.

But except for Youzhou, especially after leaving Yingzhou, it is not the case at all.

Occasionally, when it rains, it's almost sad.

"All Aiqing's suggestions are very good, and the specific suggestions are that you go back and write a book to fold it, discuss it in detail next time, and then announce it to the public as soon as possible."

Li Shimin's face also showed a rare smile in front of so many courtiers.

"If the security problem is solved, then it is necessary to consider the state and county settings and the arrangement of officials. Now there are 12 big cities in Liaodong, and the state capital is set up with these 12 big cities as the center, and then according to the situation of each state capital, each county is set up as appropriate. The officials of the prefecture and county, I plan to use half of the Tang people first, and half of the Goguryeo people who have taken refuge in them. Wait until the situation has stabilized and then adjust as needed. Specific candidate questions, if you have any recommendations, you can put them forward! ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone immediately came to the spirit.

However, everyone is very concerned about everything that has to do with personnel appointments, whether ancient or modern, whether ancient or modern, whether it is ancient or modern.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has arranged for a hundred young officials to go to Liaodong City, and the Ministry of Rites also proposes to recruit 200 scholars for Liaodong Province in the spring of next year, and the remaining officials, Weichen feels that they can be selected from the Datang Police Station and the meritorious soldiers who went out, and they can also directly recruit a group of officials from the various academies in Chang'an City to enrich the various states and counties in Liaodong."

Fang Xuanling, as the left servant of Shangshu, naturally stood up first to express his views.

And Li Kuan, as the biggest beneficiary of this proposal, chose to be an ostrich very wisely.

I don't speak, I don't speak!

I just need to keep a low profile and take some benefits!
