"Don't be so anxious, Lord Eldest Sun, I know that I have a good idea, and I also understand the mood you want to hear. But the words also have to be said sentence by sentence. Li Dongsheng immediately slammed back: "Now I will talk about the second point." ”

Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji's trembling face with anger, Li Shimin also felt funny, why do you have nothing to do with Zaifu and keep touching him, it is not disgraceful to win a quarrel, and it is even more embarrassing to lose a quarrel.

"Just like the eldest grandson said, 100,000 people can't use up the coal kiln. What about the rest of the people? Li Dongsheng said: "It's very simple, scatter to the south, lose dozens of them in one place, and after a few generations, you will be my Datang people." There are so many desolate and uninhabited places in Lingnan and southwest, and there are barbarians and natives who divide themselves and throw them over to fight each other. I Datang just need to be a good referee. ”

"How can that be? These young people are a force in the ground, if they break out, how can they be suppressed? "The eldest grandson Wuji is still opposed.

"There are dozens of people in a county, and there is no one in a village. If this can't be suppressed, I can't say anything. "If it were put in the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in later generations, Li Dongsheng would really not dare to do this, but now it is the Tang Dynasty, there are a few soldiers in a village, and there are dozens of young people, and beating a Goguryeo person is not a joke and a pinching death.

"If this arrangement is not good, Weichen still has a plan, that is, to gather these prisoners of war to work, we have so many roads and water conservancy in the Tang Dynasty to be repaired, and we originally wanted to mobilize the people, but now we can allow the people to pay with silk and money, and these money will be directly used to feed the prisoners of war, and we can negotiate with them, as long as we do it for five years, we will let them go back to Goguryeo." Li Dongsheng smiled: "When they have time, they will have hope, and when they want to go back to Goguryeo, the country will be gone, and they will not have to live obediently in my Datang." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji was no longer satisfied with this arrangement, so he could only nod and say, "This method is feasible!" ”

Li Dongsheng smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Eldest Sun for your compliment, I'll just say my idea, so don't be anxious." ”

The eldest grandson was about to leave the venue immediately, but Li Ji hurriedly grabbed him and kicked Li Dongsheng by the way: "It's not big or small, how can you talk to the eldest grandson, apologize quickly." ”

Li Dongsheng accompanies him with a very aggrieved expression, and then sits where he doesn't speak. There was silence in the venue, and Li Shimin couldn't help but wait for a while: "I just talked about the prisoners, how do you arrange those women and children?" ”

"That's better." Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty is merciful, and will send a woman to each of the meritorious soldiers who participated in the Goguryeo War because of their poverty and did not get married, and when they return to China, they will go directly to Liaodong City to receive it." Your Majesty can also find dozens of couples in the villages near Chang'an to marry them in person, so that my Tang soldiers are not grateful, and they are even more brave in battle. ”

Li Dongsheng's proposal made the eyes of the Tang monarchs and ministers shine, can it still be operated like this? There is no cost and a very good effect, as long as a woman marries, she will follow a man with all her heart, that is, to make a fertility machine for my Datang.

"Your Majesty, we can also talk about the merits of the war, and those with great merit can choose first."

"Those who died can be given to his family, and the children born can inherit his pension. They're not the last in this way. ”

Everyone's brains immediately opened up and made a lot of suggestions, and Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard it: "This idea is good." That's it. ”

Li Dongsheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are still those children." ”

"Oh, what do you think of those kids?" Li Shimin saw that the problem had been solved, and even made a joke: "Don't say that it is given to families without children, it is estimated that those people should not want to help others raise children." ”

"Those kids are money, too. Your Majesty, let's give them a lofty name called Gao Liwen, so that the rich people of Chang'an and the entire Tang Dynasty and those countries in the Western Regions will come to buy it, and in this way, the cost of our army can be reduced a lot. ”

Li Dongsheng is now using every opportunity to brainwash the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, you can't always deal with others with the senseless benevolence of a scholar, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by others and call you a fool.

After the lively atmosphere in the venue subsided, Li Dongsheng continued: "Your Majesty, I only have one question now. ”

Everyone listened to Li Dongsheng say so cautiously, and they all looked up at him. Li Dongsheng said proudly: "Your Majesty, one of the questions we have to consider now is that Goguryeo has been defeated, how can we govern him?" ”

When this question was raised, everyone present began to think, yes, now that the last barrier outside Pyongyang has been cleared, the morale of the army is high, and the destruction of Goguryeo is imminent, it is time to think about this issue.

"Your Majesty, although this Goguryeo land is much smaller than my Tang Dynasty, it is also a big country in terms of the surrounding countries. Second, there are many ethnic groups in the Goguryeo Kingdom, and our Han people have too few populations here, so if we want to occupy it for a long time, we must garrison troops, which is not a small cost. Third, the climate here is bitter cold, whether my Han immigrants can adapt to the environment here, and if something sudden happens, will the surrounding effects take advantage of it? ”

Li Shimin was also silent for a long time, according to Li Dongsheng's question, it is really difficult for the Tang Dynasty to occupy this place. He waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this question." Let's discuss the next step in the march. ”

"Your Majesty, the following things will be done. As long as we contact Zhang Liang's team, we will meet directly under the city of Pyongyang, and when we capture the city of Pyongyang and capture the city of Quangae, Goguryeo will perish, and we will leave the team left behind, and the army can return to China. ”

"Where is it so simple, although Goguryeo is long and narrow, but we have only captured the main cities, the vast countryside has not been occupied, those people do not know yet, these are all to be operated slowly."

Everyone spoke freely, and finally reached an agreement to take Pyongyang City first, and then decide what to do with the Goguryeo people when the time came.

In the Taiji Palace in Chang'an, Li Zhi laughed happily when he saw the battle report: "Fang Xiang, Goguryeo is a great victory!" Now that I learned that my father was safe, I was relieved. ”

Fang Xuanling was also very happy: "My Tang Dynasty captured Anshi City, that is, it has achieved greater military achievements than the former Sui, and now the fall of Goguryeo is imminent, His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to do one thing to strengthen your position in Your Majesty's heart." ”。

"Please give me some advice!" During Li Zhi's time in prison, Fang Xuanling did his best to consider him, and also gave a lot of guidance to the young Li Zhi, which made Li Zhi very grateful, his position as the crown prince was not stable, and there were many brothers behind him.

"Write a memo to Your Majesty and suggest that he collect the remains of the soldiers killed in Goguryeo by the former Sui, which will not only make His Majesty famous in the country, but also allow His Highness to win the hearts and minds of His Highness."
