Li You said: "Take Goguryeo as an example, millions of Goguryeo people gathered here, and it is impossible to fundamentally split it up at once, and the imperial court is not able to settle so many immigrants.

This is a long-term process that cannot be achieved overnight.

Erson's advice:

First, as the general said, Goguryeo was a wolf nation, and in order for the imperial court to maintain a relatively strong military force in the region for a certain period of time, and to set up counties to strengthen management, it was first necessary to form a stable environment.

The implementation of the second-class national system in Goguryeo, the entire Goguryeo was merged into the Tang Dynasty, unified into the second-class nationals, all the former Goguryeo citizens who were law-abiding within three years, after the government assessment and approval, can enjoy the same treatment as nationals in other regions of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "This is a good idea, those Goguryeo people will definitely exercise self-restraint in their behavior in order to be able to get the same treatment as the subjects of the Tang Dynasty." I think this approach can be used to do the same for other nations in the future. ”

"yes, yes!" There was unanimous agreement with this opinion.

Li You went on to say: "In order to ensure the rule of Goguryeo, all prisoners of war during this campaign should temporarily leave Goguryeo to reduce the Goguryeo people's ability to resist.

As for the whereabouts of these people: some of them formed a servant army and went to the Northwest Province, Lingnan Province, and the Japanese slave country. Part of it was transferred to the Ministry of Industry and engaged in the construction of large-scale projects such as roads and water conservancy construction.

For these people, second-class national treatment is also applied. Those who abide by the law and have no disciplinary violations within two years can enjoy the same national treatment as the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Jing said: "In order to effectively manage these people, a system of rewarding military merits can also be implemented among them. Those who have outstanding performance and meritorious achievements can enjoy the national treatment of the Tang Dynasty in advance, which can effectively divide these Goguryeo people. ”

Li You said: "What the general said is extremely true. ”

After everyone discussed the issue of public security management in Goguryeo for a while, Li You said: "Second, it is necessary to emigrate the Goguryeo people.

Large-scale resettlement should not be carried out, as it would cause social unrest and would also make it difficult for the government to resettle. A gradual approach could be adopted.

First, for those criminals and their families, the method of assigning them to other remote areas to keep them away from their hometowns is adopted. These people are far from home, which will reduce the local security problem. Moreover, after they are assigned to other regions, they will gradually integrate into the local society, and slowly become qualified subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

These people may not seem like a lot, but they don't add up to a small number. In the process of implementation, the prisoner is guilty and distributed, and he must be punished according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. However, their families were to be treated as ordinary subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and when they arrived in the region, the Tang Dynasty distributed their land in accordance with the provisions of the equalization system.

In this way, although his family members were affected by the prisoners, they did not cause resentment against the society, which helped to reform the prisoners and make them qualified subjects of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "According to Tang law, when dealing with criminals, the crime is indeed because of the treatment of one person, which causes the dissatisfaction of his entire family with the imperial court. This method involves the revision of the criminal law, and the criminal department must be notified to revise it. ”

Li You said: "The second way is to encourage the Goguryeo people to immigrate freely, and those who voluntarily emigrated to other parts of the Tang Dynasty could enjoy the national treatment of the Tang Dynasty in advance and enjoy preferential treatment of tax reductions and exemptions. The Goguryeo people will definitely flock to it.

Datang currently has 2,197 counties, each of which is responsible for accepting 20 households per year, and such a small number of immigrants will not cause difficulties for the local government to resettle.

20 households may seem like a small number, but in this way, more than 40,000 households can be resettled in the country every year, and at least 200,000 people can be divided into 5 people per household.

At the same time, people from the interior were encouraged to emigrate to Goguryeo, and those who were willing to go to Goguryeo were given more land by the imperial court than in the interior, and they were entitled to tax exemption and exemption for ten years.

Whether it was a Goguryeo or a Tang national, in the process of immigration, the cost of the journey, the carriage and horses were all provided by the government, and after arriving in the local area, the imperial court gave appropriate housing subsidies.

With such a policy, a large number of voluntary immigrants will be formed, and the number of nationals will be exchanged, so that in less than 20 years, the ratio of Han people to local Korean people will be equal.

In the case of agreeing to preserve the language of the local people, Sinology education is vigorously promoted. For all the Goguryeo natives who were willing to study Sinology, the imperial court gave a certain subsidy to the children of the group to study. At the same time, local officials were required to take Sinology exams for entry and promotion, and the Goguryeo people were bound to have a strong interest in Sinology. ”

Li Ji said: "The minister thinks that after the Goguryeo people become our Tang nationals, all those who voluntarily join the Tang army will also take the Sinology examination as one of the selection criteria. The same approach should be adopted for the entry and promotion of officers. ”

Li Shimin said: "It is also necessary to adopt a policy of encouraging intermarriage, and if the aborigines of Goguryeo intermarry with the Han nationality, they should also give certain preferential policies to the families of both sides." ”

Li Jing also expressed his opinion on the issue of Goguryeo people being sent to serve in other places after joining the Tang Army, and the issue of Goguryeo officers serving in the army.

In this way, everyone's words and my words have formed a management policy for the newly conquered areas after the Tang Dynasty expanded its territory.

He then talked about the riots he had encountered on the road, and he suggested that instead of holding them here, occupying a lot of troops for their care, and causing a large amount of food consumption every day, it would be better to start diverting them now.

At present, almost every day, a large number of ordinary people and fugitive soldiers enter the occupied areas of the Tang army from the occupied areas of Goguryeo and settle these people, which involves a lot of energy from Li Shimin and also causes great difficulties in the supply of materials.

Now that relevant policies and regulations have been formulated, Li Shimin also believes that it is time to start diverting traffic.

The most difficult to manage were the prisoners of war, and at present, a total of 34 prisoner of war camps have been established in the area controlled by the Tang army, holding about 110,000 Goguryeo prisoners of war.

Li Shimin asked: "Li You, you are about to return to Northwest Dao, can you take some prisoners of war with you?" ”

Speaking of this, Li You was really a little embarrassed. It was not an easy task to travel thousands of miles from here to the Northwest Road, with a large number of prisoners of war.

He hadn't thought about it yet. So he said. "Father, please allow your sons to consider it."

After a while, Li Shimin saw that Li You was embarrassed and said: "It's really farther to go to the Northwest Road, if you can't take it with you." If you're really embarrassed, forget it. ”

At this time, Li You had already thought about how to settle these Goguryeo prisoners of war, and he said: "The sons are willing to share the worries of their father, and the Northwest Province does need manpower. The retainers were probably able to take 50,000 prisoners of war. ”

Li Shimin originally hoped that Li You would be able to take away 10,000 people, which would have relieved a lot of pressure, but he didn't expect him to be able to settle so many people at once. He was happy, but also a little worried, and he said, "How are you going to settle these people?" ”

Li You said: "Erchen needs a large number of manpower in the Northwest Province to develop projects, such as buildings, roads, and mines, which can house at least 20,000 people, and in addition, he can form a servant army of 10,000 people to fight with other servant armies.

The Kyushu Kingdom on the island of Kyushu is fighting against the Japanese slave country, and a servant army of 10,000 people can be placed to assist the Kyushu country in the war.

In addition, Erchen can also take 10,000 people away, and Jiao will arrange it for the Ministry of Industry. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's very good, you can bring more troops to be responsible for escorting." "Increasing the number of escort troops will reduce the strength of the Tang Army on the front line and cause problems for the blockade line of the front line. However, Li Shimin is still willing to solve the difficulties of escort for Li You, which shows that Li Shimin still cares about Li You very much.

Li You shook his head and said: "The military strength on the front line cannot be withdrawn, and a large number of escort personnel will also generate huge expenses on the way. Erchen only needs 3,000 Flying Tiger troops. ”

Li Shimin knew that Li You had never said big things, and since he said so, he must have thought of a way, so he didn't say anything.

Li Daozong was in charge of managing the prisoners of war, but he knew how difficult it was to manage these Goguryeo prisoners of war. Prisoners of war were held in prisoner-of-war camps, where they could not move freely, and it was much easier to manage. But when you get outside, marching on the road, it's not a little difficult to manage.

He said: "Your Highness, so many prisoners of war have to cross the hinterland of the entire country, and if there is a riot on the way, it will cause great harm. The minister suggested that it would be better to bring more troops. ”

He had good intentions and didn't want anything to happen to Li You.

Li Jing said: "Yes, the minister has already considered that the transfer of more troops from the front line will not have a great impact on the situation on the front line." The minister suggested that His Highness should bring more troops. ”

Li You said: "Father, the emperor, the retainers took 3,000 Flying Tiger troops and left them in the local area. However, if a large number of troops are used to escort them, they will have to return to the front line after arriving at the destination, and this back-and-forth will incur huge costs, and there is no need for this at all. ”

Li Shimin asked: "You have 3,000 people, how can you manage these prisoners of war and ensure that they will not have trouble on the road?" ”
