Chapter 577: The Great Water of Shandong

"Your Majesty, now that Tuyuhun has been pacified, I don't know how to settle Tuyuhun's land!" Fang Xuanling bowed and said.

He is the head of the hundred officials, and now that the war is over, it is time to consider what to do with Tuyuhun.

As soon as Fang Xuanling's voice fell, all the officials couldn't help but feel shocked, this is the important thing to discuss today, even Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe, Tuguhun is thousands of miles in radius, which is equivalent to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, although most of them are barren desert lands, but there are rare grasslands, if they can be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will also be a great achievement.

Su Lingnong proudly came out and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, why do you need to discuss this matter, I Datang has devoted all my strength to pacify Tuyuhun, how can I raise tigers again, why not follow the example of the previous dynasty, reset the four counties of Qinghai in the old land of Tuyuhun, and bring them under the rule of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

For farmers, the land that they don't dislike the most, can have more land, only then can there be a foundation for the development and growth of farmers, and there are many cattle and sheep in Qinghai, and the key to solving the problem of night blindness is meat.

"Your Majesty, never!" Yushiquan Wanji retorted, "Yang Guang is tyrannical, how can his plan make me follow suit, besides, although Yang Guang set up a county in Tuyuhun, it is a virtual reality, and the government decree does not come out of the city, and he can't control the land of Qinghai at all." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, the Sui Dynasty's rule over Tuyuhun was extremely weak, otherwise it would not be easily recaptured by Fu Yun, who was like a lost dog.

Su Lingnon shook his head and retorted: "At this time and that time, Tuyuhun is remote and inconvenient, and now my Datang brick road is unblocked, from Chang'an City to Lanzhou, it is only three days to travel day and night, once there is a change in Qinghai, the imperial court can get the news in the shortest possible time." ”

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up. The best distance for the imperial court to control the place is to arrive in seven days, and even in the farthest Lingnan Road, some news has been transmitted back to Chang'an City for even half a month, so that the land of Tuyuhun is not too far from Chang'an City.

Although the land of Qinghai is vast, it is a big deal to build a brick road, and with countless cattle and sheep from Qinghai to enter Datang, this business is very cost-effective.

"If we destroy its country and occupy its land, I am afraid that it will make the countries of the Western Regions panic and not be conducive to the stability of the Tang Border Pass."

Many civil servants have made speeches, emphasizing benevolence, righteousness and morality, and then going to the border to stabilize and oppose the direct occupation of Tuyuhun.

Many courtiers were also shaken by this, and they spoke out against the establishment of counties, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but worry about three points.

"What do you Aiqing think?" Li Shimin set his eyes on Wei Zheng and a few people in the front row, they are the real pillars of the Tang Dynasty, once Li Shimin has something to do, ask a few more questions.

"Your Majesty, if we directly reset the four counties of Qinghai, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the local tribes, which is not conducive to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, why don't Your Majesty let Murong Shun restore the country and be assisted by the army, Murong Shun has no foundation in Tuyuhun, and can only rely on my Datang, first, I will guarantee the interests of my Datang, and second, I can support Tuyuhun and defend the western frontier." Wei Zheng said proudly.

This is a plan he has been thinking about for a long time, and it is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Yes, we can follow the example of the Turks." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yu is the most convincing for this kind of thing, he is a descendant of Qianliang, the younger brother of Empress Xiao, after Nanliang was destroyed by Li Jing, he was not held responsible, but was reused by Li Shimin, and was among the prime ministers.

"Turkic example!"

When the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, it was only because of the surprise attack that broke through the Turkic tent and captured the Jieli Khan, but did not occupy an inch of Turkic land, which solved the ten-year border trouble in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, and was respected by the northwest tribes, and was called the Tian Khan by the northwest departments.

All of a sudden, most of the ministers were inclined to Wei Zheng's plan.

"The minister is against!"

A minister who surprised everyone greatly.

"Eldest grandson Wuji!"

The Manchu Dynasty was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that it was he who would oppose it, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but look sideways, the eldest grandson Wuji ranked first among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and no one could beat him in terms of weight.

The eldest grandson Wuji said proudly: "Your Majesty, at that time, we did not occupy an inch of grassland in the Turks, in fact, because the strength of the Turks was not damaged at the beginning, and there were Xue Yantuo and Tiele nine surnames eyeing each other, which was a last resort, and now my Tang Dynasty has traveled thousands of miles, and I have no power to resist in the land of Qinghai. ”

"Not bad!" Qin Qiong nodded.

Many military people also echoed one after another, even Dai Zhou nodded again and again, Datang almost emptied the treasury for this western expedition, how can he return empty-handed, and if he doesn't get some money for the treasury, I'm afraid Datang will go bankrupt.

"Moreover, now Weichen is managing the Yellow River in the land of Guanlong, but he finds that the land of Guanlong has a large population, and the land has become increasingly barren, and he can only barely survive by constantly reclaiming wasteland. Now the imperial court prohibits the cultivation of wasteland, restores vegetation, and the livelihood of the people is cut off, and the only way to move out is to move out. The eldest grandson Wuji paused and said loudly.

"And the land of Qinghai is the only way for the people of Longyou to live."

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, the ministers couldn't help but be silent, and all the reasons on their lips were overshadowed by the imperial court's century-old plan to govern the Yellow River.

The harm of the Yellow River has been around for a long time, although there is a flood discharge method offered by Mo Jiazi, but anyone knows that this is a symptomatic but not a cure, this is July, the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty is the time when the rain is the most, in this more than a month, the Yellow River has been more than ten times dangerous, Qucun embankment has already been dug to discharge the flood, but this year's rain is too much, the water level of the Yellow River is still high.

The harm of the Yellow River hangs on the head of the Tang Dynasty, and the court has long reached an agreement to govern the Yellow River, but it is difficult in the land of Guanlong, and the most fundamental reason is that there are many people in the land of Guanlong.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has finally obtained the land of Qinghai, how can the Guanlong family who controls the land of Guanlong easily let go, with the land of Qinghai, the Guanlong family has found the direction of expansion, and the people of Longyou have found a way to live, and the process of promoting the governance of the Yellow River by the three imperial courts will be greatly accelerated.

Most of the people in the land of Guanlong are half-cultivated and half-pasted, and they will definitely be able to quickly take root when they go to the land of Qinghai to graze, and the distance between the land of Guanlong and the land of Qinghai is very close, and the resistance of the migrating people is very small.

Li Shimin secretly calculated in his heart, and the balance in his heart was slowly inclined to annex Tuyuhun.

Some officials of the Shandong family couldn't help but feel anxious, if Li Shimin adopted the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, then their plan to clamp down on the Guan Long family may have failed, many officials' eyes turned sharply, Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and was about to come forward to refute, when suddenly another guard rushed into the Taiji Palace.

"Report! Eight hundred miles expedited! Your Majesty, the Yellow River bursts, the land of Shandong is flooded, and the seven counties are flooded! The guard said in a trembling voice.

"The Yellow River?"

Suddenly everyone was shocked.

"Isn't there a flood zone?" Kong Yingda's heart trembled, and he exclaimed,

The land of Shandong is the base camp of the Shandong family, and the land of Shandong is full of water, and the blow to the Shandong family can be said to be a catastrophe.

Fang Xuanling said bitterly: "Your Majesty, five days ago, the land of Luoyang came to report that it was raining heavily in the sky, the water level of the Yellow River had skyrocketed, and the embankment of Qucun had burst a few days ago to discharge floods, but who would have thought that the land of Luoyang had escaped, but the land of Shandong had not been spared. ”

The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but gasp, at this moment, the court's determination to govern the Yellow River has never been as resolute as it is today.

However, the most important step in controlling the Yellow River is to reduce land reclamation in Guanlong and reduce population pressure in Guanlong in order to restore vegetation.

At this moment, everyone's hearts remembered a place, the land of Qinghai.
