Li Tingxue's character belongs to the kind of person who is big on the surface, but in fact he is weak inside.

For this kind of girl, the best way to comfort her is to accompany her.

Therefore, from this day on, Li Chengqian stayed in Li Tingxue's house.

During the day, I sat in the carriage with her and walked around.

At night, I slept with her in a quilt and chatted.

Li Tingxue's mood is gradually getting better.

And Li Chengqian was unlucky.

Originally, he promised Li Shimin to let Zhao Youlin go to Guozijian to study, and he went to the court every day to listen to the court.

But because of Li Tingxue, Li Chengqian didn't go for a few days.

This really made the old father Li Shimin very angry.

What's going on?

Your sister is out of love, so you kid has a reason to be absent from work?

Unable to bear it, Li Shimin directly sent someone to the palace annex and dragged Li Chengqian to the imperial study.

……

Inside the Imperial Study.

looked at Li Shimin with a black face.

Li Chengqian smiled with a smile on his face: "Father, you are in such a hurry to call me here, what is the so-called ......?"

It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Li Shimin became even more angry.

{Received Rage +99......} from Li Shimin

"Are you too embarrassed to ask?"

"Who promised me to come to the court every day?"

"Traveling in the mountains and rivers, right, accompanying my sister in the palace annex every day, right?"

Li Shimin sneered and said, "Do you believe it or not, I will marry her to Xue Yantuo now?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately became instigated.

"Don't, don't, father, can't I be wrong......"

"Starting tomorrow, I will come to listen to the court, and I will not mess around in the future, I will listen to your ......"

Seeing that he admitted his mistakes, his attitude was quite correct.

Li Shimin's angry mood was eased a little.

"Alright, don't talk that useless nonsense, I called you here today because I have something serious to ask you."

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows with some confusion: "What's the matter?" ”

"Of course, it is the question of how to deal with the remaining land after the northerners move south."

At this time, almost all of Li Chengqian's early proposals began to show results.

First of all, the history of Datang inspection, which has shown good results in various places.

Secondly, the previous domestic trend of uproar because of the policy of moving northerners to the south has gradually subsided with the first batch of soldiers who conquered Tuyuhun and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

In the current Tang Dynasty, almost all the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a feeling that the prosperity has just emerged.

While Li Shimin felt satisfied, he also felt a little uneasy.

For example, the old Turkic people of Mobei have all moved into the interior of the Tang Dynasty.

What should be done with the vast expanse of land that is vacant?

This morning, he also brought this issue to the court for discussion.

But after discussion, no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

In the end, it was the eldest grandson Wuji who said: "Since the southward migration of the northern people was thought up by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Your Majesty had better ask the King of Qin." ”

"Maybe he already has the answer?"

Therefore, it does not have much to do with Li Shimin's call for Li Chengqian to come today and whether he comes to listen to the DPRK or not.

That's his main purpose.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian also reacted.

He looked at Li Shimin with a smile on his face: "It turns out that my father called me here for this......

"Ahem......"

Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it quickly, don't force me to use force." ”

Out of understanding Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian must have had an idea a long time ago, but he didn't say it.

Yo heh.

Asking for your own help, still so tough?

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "No, I don't have any ideas." ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin frowned: "What, do you have to force me to use force?" ”

When he said this, Li Shimin already had a three-foot-long ring ruler in his hand.

See this ruler.

Li Chengqian subconsciously took a step back: "Father, why do you still keep this ring ruler......

"Against some people, this thing can be more effective than a holy decree."

Li Shimin sneered and pointed at Li Chengqian with a ring ruler and said, "Can you say it now?" ”

In order not to suffer from flesh and skin.

Li Chengqian could only admit it.

He looked at Li Shimin with a smile on his face: "Father, I am so well-behaved, I will definitely tell you if I have an idea." ”

"It's just that the idea I thought of needs to prepare a lot of things, and only when these things are prepared can I guarantee to help you solve the problem of Mobei......"

"Oh?"

Li Shimin put down the ring ruler, raised his eyes and asked, "Then tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

"Before Erchen can say what he thinks, Erchen wants to ask his father a question."

"What's the problem?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "I want to ask my father, the difference between the people of Mobei and my people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What's the difference?"

Li Shimin thought for a while: "The people of our country are mainly agricultural, and the people of Mobei live by hunting. ”

Li Chengqian continued to ask: "Then the emperor thinks that the people of Mobei are stronger, or the people of my Tang Dynasty are stronger?" ”

"If you extrapolate according to common sense, you are the people of Mobei who have strong combat power."

Li Shimin is not trying to destroy his prestige because of others' ambitions, he is just expounding a fact.

Li Chengqian also nodded: "The steppe nomads have been known for their courage and good fighting since ancient times. ”

"If the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it's okay, it can crush the other party so much that they can't raise their heads."

"But if the Central Plains Dynasty shows a slight sign of decay, the nomads will immediately turn against the guest and become the dynasty's henchmen."

"That being the case, we have to think about why they are so strong."

"Is it because the soil and water have raised them taller? Or is it because the nomads are all cavalry? ”

"There are reasons for this, but not all."

Li Chengqian said quietly: "The biggest difference between the grassland peoples and the Central Plains peoples is that they were born to fight with the sky, the earth, and people. ”

"In the midst of such continuous struggles, they will naturally develop a level of bravery that others cannot imagine."

"If we want to completely solve the problem of the northern desert, the southward migration of northerners is naturally the primary goal, and the second is to eliminate its root causes."

Absolutely at the root?

Where does this begin?

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you have thought of a way?" ”

"It's nature."

"My idea is very simple, which is to build Mobei into a huge farm."

"The farms are controlled by the state, and the harvest is either sold to the people or used as a war reserve."

"At least, the people of the Northern Desert no longer need to hunt and graze, and they don't need to fight for territory."

"They can farm and weave like the people of the Central Plains, live the same life and receive the same education as the people of the Central Plains every day."

"When the time comes, they will think that they are Tang people, not Turks, and they will fight for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said: "In the same way, if you give them a full meal, they will never be idle and have nothing to do, and they have gone to that kind of day of licking blood from the knife edge." ”

"After all, in this world, even if you include your father, no one likes war, no one wants to die on the battlefield, and they are the same......"
