The train arrived in Chang'an City a few days later, and stopped at the station, everyone got off in turn, and the station greeted the scene very grandly, in addition to the emperor Li Longji, the remaining princes and important ministers were almost all present, in addition to welcoming the Tang army to return with a great victory, but also to welcome the initiative to surrender to Tubo Zampu, showing that the Tang Dynasty court is not deceitful, the Tubo Zampu is regarded as a prince, only one level shorter than the emperor, of course, is a powerless king.

In the face of the Tang Emperor's decree, Tubo Zanpu knelt down helplessly, until the eunuch read the decree, he slowly got up and accepted the Tang Emperor's knighthood to him, and the rest of the Tubo nobles also knelt down to accept the decree and accepted the canonization of the Tang Emperor.

Generally speaking, as the nobles of the defeated country, the treatment of the Tubo nobles is still quite good, at least, the Tang Empire did not abuse them and gave them very good treatment, if they can have the mentality of Liu Chan of the Three Kingdoms, the small life is still very good.

Of course, it was not only the Tibetan nobles who knelt on the ground to receive the decree, but also the generals of the Tang Army who accepted the emperor's decree and received corresponding canonizations and rewards.

After the basic etiquette, Tubo Zampu and the nobles went to the palace to meet the Tang Emperor in person, and knelt down to express their submission, and the Tang Emperor Li Longji was also very enthusiastic, saying that the days of hostility had passed, and now everyone was a family, and they would love each other in the future.

Tubo Zampu and the nobles smiled on the surface, celebrating the peaceful reunification of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, but their hearts were very uncomfortable, after all, this was at the cost of the loss of power of the Tubo nobles, and the Tubo Empire was conquered by the Tang Empire.

Since we want to celebrate the peaceful reunification of Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, of course, we have to hold a banquet, which is indispensable, and in order to reflect the strength and enthusiasm of the Tang Dynasty, the guests invited to the banquet are not only the Tubo nobles who surrendered, but also the envoys of the surrounding countries, of course, including the envoys of the former Tubo vassal states who hurried to Chang'an to express their willingness to submit.

The banquet was undoubtedly a great success, not only the food and drinks were very high-end, but the various singing and dancing performances were also first-class, giving people a beautiful enjoyment.

After the banquet, Li Angang wanted to go home to see his wife and children, but was stopped by the little eunuch, and the emperor wanted to see him.

Li An doesn't want to see the emperor at all now, he is tired and wants to go home, but the emperor is the king of a country in the Tang Dynasty, not that he can't see it if he doesn't want to, even if he is tired, he has to go to see the emperor head-on, which is the responsibility of a courtier.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Ang Lee habitually saluted.

"Why is Li Shilang's spirit a little not good, is he uncomfortable?"

Li An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just a little tired, and his body is fine. ”

"It's okay, this time to conquer Tubo, you have made a great contribution, next, the imperial court is going to rule a large area of land in the southwest, what you said some time ago, to build a railway from Longyou to Luo, I have already dispatched the people to start building, however, it may take many years to complete, about ruling Longnan Road and Southwest Road, Li Shilang has any good suggestions, it is better to say it! I would like to hear Li Shilang's opinion. ”

Li Longji asked very humbly.

"Your Majesty, regarding how to rule Longnan Province and Southwest Province, I believe that there are many ministers in the court who are more proficient than Weichen, in fact, it is nothing more than encouraging the people to go to these two provinces to start a business and give them more benefits."

Li An said.

"Encourage people to start their own businesses? The ministers did not make such a suggestion, so let's talk about it! How to encourage people to start their own businesses? ”

Li Longji asked curiously.

Li An was stunned, aren't the ministers stupid? They were eager to join forces to divide all the land in Tibet, so how could they have thought of giving these lands to the common people? If someone made such a suggestion, it would inevitably be hated by other ministers and nobles, and this would be very disadvantageous.

"Your Majesty, Longnan Road and Southwest Road are sparsely populated, there is a lot of land waiting to be reclaimed, as long as the imperial court opens conditions, so that the people who go here can be exempted from taxes, or the first ten years are exempt from taxes, and the future is thin, so that many people will be willing to go here to start a business, of course, the supporting railways must be built, only the railway is unblocked, in the future, Longnan Road and Southwest Road will be more promising, so that the people can see that there is hope for living there, in addition, there are many mountains in Tubo, there should be a lot of minerals, encourage the people to find and mine mineralsIn this way, the people will definitely be more motivated, so that the Tang Empire can obtain more and more mineral resources. ”

Li Anke doesn't care what the nobles of the Tang Dynasty think, as long as he can make the Tang Empire stronger, he will be very happy, so that the people who can't find a future can go to Longnan Province and Southwest Province in the southwest to develop, which can not only provide these people with a better way out, but also facilitate the dilution of the foreign population in the southwest region, and promote the integration of the main ethnic groups of the Tang Dynasty and the minority population groups, so that Longnan Province and Southwest Province can truly integrate into the Tang Empire.

Li Longji listened to Li An's opinion and felt that it was very reasonable, in this world, everyone is busy pursuing interests, as long as the people are given enough benefits, so that they feel that they can get more benefits and live a better life by going to the southwest, then these people are definitely willing to go, and the population of the southwest is enriched and integrated, which is of course a very good thing for Datang.

If you mix well, you can continue to stay there, if you don't mix well, you can still return to your hometown, the Spring Festival in later generations, is because the people have no way out at home, go out to work, and return to their hometown during the New Year, if you can have a good job and good income in your hometown, who will be idle and go to work far away.

"Li Shilang is right, since the industrialization of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains need fewer and fewer farmers, these idle people, although some of them have joined the workshop industry, and some of them have built roads and bridges, but there are still a lot of surpluses, these people have no livelihood, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil, let them go to the southwest and Anxi, and each person will be given 100 acres of Yongye field, which is five times that of the Central Plains."

Li Longji immediately made a decision, in fact, he had thought of this question a long time ago, he just needed someone with the same opinion as him to persuade him, but none of the ministers put forward this proposal, only Li An boldly said this proposal for the benefit of the country and the people.

Li An originally thought that after talking about this, he would be able to go home and hug his wife and children, but Li Longji did not let him go, but walked to the world map and asked about the situation in the Americas and Australia, that is, after the attack on Tibet, the emperor's ambition became even greater, and he started the idea of America and Australia.

"Li Shilang, you said that this is Australia, just south of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many islands in between, sending a ship here should be much more convenient and easier than going to the Americas, and it is much easier, and you don't even need a steam ship, you can just use an ordinary sail ship."

Li Longji looked at Australia's position and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Australia does not have the products that my Datang urgently needs, but Australia has a large area of anointed land, and Your Majesty means to occupy Australia and make the whole of Australia the land of my Datang?"

Li An quickly guessed Li Longji's thoughts, this old emperor wanted to occupy the whole of Australia, otherwise, he would not discuss this matter with him.

"Li Shilang is really smart, I think, since this is a borderless land, why don't we take it all? In this way, I Datang will have more land. ”

Li Longji said with an ambitious face.

"Your Majesty is wise, as long as Your Majesty is willing, you can send a fleet to conquer Australia now, and I believe that in half a year, you can bring back kangaroos and many interesting animals."

Ang Lee did not object to Li Longji's conquest of Australia, after all, Australia is still a wild land, and there are large areas of fertile land but no one has developed them, which is really a waste.

"Well, I plan to send a fleet to Australia to have a look first, bring back some more strange things, and after confirming that Australia is really rich, I will send more people to develop it, so that we can solve the livelihood of many unemployed people."

Obviously to satisfy his ambitions, but in the end, he turned out that he was dedicated to the people, this Li Longji's cheekiness is thick enough, but as an emperor, how can he be not thick-skinned, and how can he rule the world without a thick skin.

Of course, the whole world can sit in a high position, basically all of them are thick-skinned, Liu Bang's skin is thick enough, and he defeated Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu failed because of his thin skin, first worried that killing Liu Bang would affect his reputation, but he lost to Liu Bang, and then suffered a defeat, and felt that he had no face to face Jiangdong's father and kill himself, in fact, if he is thick-skinned, he can make a comeback.

Liu Bei's face is also thick enough, and he was rejected by Zhuge Villager many times and refused to give up, taking the people as shields, but insisting that the people were willing to follow, and finally achieved the hegemony of Shu Han.

Many officials in later generations are not thick-skinned enough to not talk to their bosses, how can they get a high position, how can they get the opportunity to be promoted, female officials are not cheeky to tempt their bosses, and their bosses are afraid of being snapped, how can they be promoted by their bosses, of course, there are some exceptions, but people's abilities are almost the same, the same position, ten people compete, and these ten people can be competent, so, let who is not on the top, in the end, of course, you have to choose the person who is close to you.

Isn't Li Linfu of Datang such a person? All officials who talk to him can be arranged to a very good position, but if they don't become an official through his door, they will be suppressed, and if they want to be promoted, there is no door.

Ang Lee will not despise the cheeky Li Longji, because his own cheekiness is thick enough, so what qualifications does he have to despise others?

After accompanying Li Longji to blow the cowhide for a while and imagine the future occupation of Australia, Ang Lee said goodbye and left and returned to his other courtyard.

Ever since moving to a more comfortable courtyard, Ang Lee's main house has been abandoned, and there is nothing else to look after except for a few servants, and Ang Lee never goes back to look at it.

"Aaron is back."

Zhao Liu had already heard that the Tang army had escorted Tubo Zampu to the capital, and he knew that Li An had returned, but he had just gone to the palace, and he would go back to the other courtyard sooner or later, so he had been waiting at the gate of the other courtyard in person.

"Are the ladies resting?"

Li An knew that he was coming back late, and he probably wanted to disturb the rest of several ladies, and this was all to blame on Li Longji, if he hadn't pulled himself to talk about the occupation of Australia, he would have come back more than an hour earlier.

"Back to Ah Lang, the ladies have gone back to the room, but the lights in the house are still on, so I guess I haven't slept yet!"

"Well, got it, you go to sleep first!"

Li An threw the horse to Zhao Liu and strode towards the main house.

As soon as he entered the gate of the main house, Li An saw a few shadows, that is, the figures reflected on the curtains, it was so late, and several ladies didn't seem to be asleep, I don't know if they were waiting for themselves to come back, or what they were doing.

'Whose room do you go to, so many ladies?' ’

As soon as Li An entered the mansion of the main mansion, he hesitated, not knowing whose room to enter.

"Ah Lang is back!"

Cao'er stepped out of the door, suddenly saw Li An, and screamed in surprise, suddenly, all the shadows paused, and then heard the continuous sound of the door opening.

"My husband is back, my sisters, all come over to welcome my husband home."

Yan Ruyu happily greeted her, and Barbarian and Li Hanlu also came over, after so many days, the three ladies missed Ang Lee, after all, Ang Li is their husband, a newlywed woman, how can anyone not want a husband.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

Li An looked at the three ladies and asked with concern.

"Husband, we have to settle accounts, the business of the canning workshop is getting better and better, and we are too busy to get busy, and we don't feel at ease when we hand over the accounts to outsiders, so we sleep late."

Yan Ruyu took the lead and said, and the rest of the people nodded.

"Let you manage the canning workshop, I was worried that you would be too boring, now I look, but I am tired of you, this is not the husband's intention, the husband is very distressed to watch you stay up late."

Li An said with concern.

This is not sweet words, these are all Ang Lee's heart's words, and they are the truest thoughts in Ang Lee's heart, without a trace of falsehood.

The deep affection can be felt, and when several ladies heard this, they all looked at Li An very movingly, feeling that although they worked hard, it was very worthwhile.

After greeting for a while, Li An stayed in Yan Ruyu's room, after all, Yan Ruyu is the eldest lady, Li An has just come back, of course he has to live in the eldest lady's room, anyway, everyone has already returned, there is a time to be pampered, and Barbarian and Li Hanlu will soon be able to get Li An's favor, so there is no need to worry.
