Chapter 956: Turkic Internal Migration
Li Shimin secretly said in his heart that five years may not be enough. Before he could say anything, he heard Li Mu continue: "Maybe it won't take five years, most of the people in Cheng County have already completed the reform of urbanization, let them go to farming, and they don't want to plant." ”
"Urbanization?" When Li Shimin heard this new term, he was a little confused again. When Li Mu saw Li Shimin's appearance, he hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, the meaning of urbanization is that the common people have gradually changed from farming for a living to professional jobs such as work and craftsmanship. Just like Chang'an and Luoyang, Chang'an has a population of one million, how many people make a living from farming? Chen is confident that in less than five years, the prosperous commerce brought by Mingzhou Port will be enough to feed this area of less than one million people, and by that time, the proportion of local income in Chengxian County will be very low. They don't care about whether the Turks occupy the land or not, and even, they will give the land to the Turks to cultivate in exchange for a job in the port. ”
Li Shimin suddenly said: "That's why you have to make it mandatory that the cultivated land should not be barren." Those who had divided the land, if they could not cultivate it, had to give it to the farm, which was controlled by the imperial court. Good! That's a great plan! ”
Li Mu said again; "In addition, the minister also wants to congratulate His Majesty. Li You and the others came back from Linyi this time and brought back enough seeds of two crops of rice. And brought back more than 30 old farmers in Zhenla, these old farmers are good at planting two crops of rice, and they will definitely teach us the technology of cultivating two crops of rice in the shortest possible time. Starting from Cheng County, gradually promoting Jiangnan, Your Majesty, imagine that if the paddy fields in Jiangnan can be harvested twice in the future, and the grain will be stored in a permanent warehouse in a good year, do you still have to worry about being caught off guard when there is a disaster? ”
Jiangnan has always been known as a granary, if it can be harvested twice, it can at least take a forty percent of Datang's total annual grain output!
What is this concept? This is equivalent to the fact that the stored grain consumed by raising soldiers no longer needs to be pulled out of the mouths of the common people. Even when the Sui Dynasty was at its strongest, it didn't do it. Li Shimin has already begun to fantasize about the picture of the Tang Dynasty's millions of soldiers shocking the four and coming from all directions.
His snort was a little heavier, stared at Li Mu's eyes, and said, "Five years, can you do it?" ”
Li Mu smiled and said, "Maybe it won't take five years." ”
Li Shimin was silent, he knew that this was the time limit given to him by Li Mu, five years, maybe not five years, Li Mu would retire as he said.
Five years later, Li Shimin didn't think about what to do. Even, subconsciously, he didn't want to think about it. He was familiar with the historical records, and the experience left by the emperors in the historical records for future generations all told Li Shimin that if a person like Li Mu could not be used for himself, the wisest way was to eradicate it.
But Li Mu was frank with him, he really couldn't bear it, and he couldn't do it-
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's mind was a little confused, he stood up and said, "Whatever you want to do, I will do my best to support it, let it go." I'm a little tired. ”
Li Mu hurriedly got up and sent Li Shimin back to the room to rest. After washing his feet, he also lay down, and to-morrow he will inspect the harbor, and he will get up early and set out.
……
At the same time that Li Mu inspected the port, the decree had been issued, and the first large-scale Turkic internal migration of the Tang Dynasty began.
In fact, what Li Shimin didn't tell Li Mu was that he had discussed this matter with Fang Xuanling many times. He has even sent an envoy to the Hetao, and has done a lot of investigations openly and secretly. Otherwise, based on Li Mu's words alone, it would be impossible for Li Shimin to agree to such a big thing.
Originally, Li Shimin also planned to move some people to the Central Plains in the spring of the next year. It's just that the original plan was to move the entire tribe and settle people between several Ochong Prefectures, so that these people could grow military rations for these Ochong Prefectures.
Such an arrangement can ensure that this Turkic tribe will not rebel. But Fang Xuanling proposed that doing so would definitely make the Turks dissatisfied. Even if these Turks were given reasonable arrangements under the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they would still feel that they were enslaved by the Tang Dynasty. Over time, centrifugal detachment. So Fang Xuanling's advice is not to do this unless you think of a better way.
Now, here's a better way. After receiving Li Shimin's flying pigeon biography, Fang Xuanling immediately wrote a letter to the province and officially issued a decree to move 30,000 Turkic proletarian households, which were attached to Jiangnan.
All the preparations I made before were used. The propaganda announcement was printed in 5,000 sheets, written in two languages, and distributed to all the tribes of the steppe.
The conditions given are clearly written one by one. Immediately caused an uproar in the grassland, the Turkic nobles naturally regarded this as their hatred, but the Turkic people rejoiced one by one, as Li Mu thought, their life is indeed going to be unbearable, what they want is just a stable day.
If you want to leave, how can it be so easy? The Turkic nobles gathered their men and horses, guarded all the crossings, and did not allow the people to go south, and many tribes broke out into conflict.
The news reached Ashina Simo, and in just a few days, Ashina Simo seemed to be ten years old, and the whole person was old.
What is he going to do about it? What to do, it seems that everything is wrong! If he is the Great Khan of the Turks, the most important thing he should do at this time is to gather troops and horses and start a war with the Tang Dynasty, whether he wins or loses, he must do so, because what the Tang Dynasty shakes is the foundation of the Turks.
Population is the foundation of any nation. Just imagine, if the population is gone, can a nation still be called a nation?
But from the point of view of reason, Ashina Simo knows that this battle cannot be fought. Because it is certain that it will not be able to win, and the ensuing consequences will not be borne by the current Eastern Turks.
The war is about the right time, the right place and the right people, and the Turks at this time do not occupy anything.
