Chapter 663: Recuperate
At the same time, because the hometown of Liangzhou is basically close to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at this time is still in a slave society, the population is small and the conditions are poor, but this does not prevent Li Xin from beginning to expand towards that virgin ~ female land. The Tuguhun and other tribes living in the Xihai area on the border between Liangzhou and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau began to migrate westward after being summoned by Li Xin.
Li Xin promised them that as long as the Tang Dynasty was not destroyed, then the land they had obtained on the plateau would all belong to them, and they would all be protected by the Tang Dynasty, on the condition that these places would become the territory of the Tang Dynasty and support the Central Plains Dynasty.
Although Li Xin himself doesn't know how many years the Tang Dynasty he established can exist, after all, there is no immortal dynasty in the world. But as long as this tradition remains, no matter who sits in the Central Plains Dynasty in the future, they can handle it according to the rules, as long as they are not too cowardly.
In the blink of an eye, the seven years of Tianding have passed. The time entered the eighth year of Tianding, and in 367 AD, the war had subsided for more than half a year.
Li Xin, with Zhou Tong as the general of Zhennan, led an army of 60,000 to defend Chengdu, responsible for the security of Yizhou and the surrounding areas, and guarded against the westward invasion of the Jin army.
Hu Tian and Sun Tie became the generals of Anxi and Zhenxi respectively, and Hu Tian sat in Guzang City, Wuwei County, and was responsible for guarding the Hexi Corridor. Sun Tie is located in Shanshan City, Shazhou, and governs the three states of Xinzhou and Huazhou.
With the entry of officials and large armies, the Western Regions gradually calmed down. After the resumption of business travel, Datang became more prosperous. Datang is already getting stronger and stronger, and no one can stop it today, and even Jiang Zuo is forced to only take a defensive position.
Yan Guo attacked the Yimeng Mountain area before, and was taught a hard lesson, and when he saw Li Xin destroy Liangzhou and Qiuchi one after another, he immediately panicked. Murong Ke hurriedly sent an envoy to Chang'an to protect the Yan Kingdom by making amends and admitting his mistakes.
Li Xin didn't bother with them at this time, just a small reprimand, because the time he was waiting for had not yet come.
In the past six months or so, the large-scale war has come to a complete end, and basically all localities have turned into stability. With the selection of local officials, the entire administrative structure has been established, and those who are not applicable have been eliminated, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.
In addition, the Central Plains has gradually gotten rid of the state of needing support, and at this time it has begun to feed back to Datang, so after the battle of Liangyi, the battle of destroying Qiuchi, and the battle of destroying Liangzhou, Datang's national strength has not suffered much loss.
In fact, it was the soldiers and officials of the army who were really greatly affected. After all, it would be a very heavy pressure for them to engage in such a protracted and powerful war.
Therefore, when all parts of Xinping had already been transferred to governance, Li Xin began to change his defense. The main thing is to transfer those soldiers who have participated in the war before, especially the regular army units, from the front line back to the rear, and then mobilize those soldiers who have not participated in the war in the interior to take over the place where they are guarded.
Although these major battles all ended with the victory of Datang, the war was ruthless, and it is impossible for Datang to say that there were no losses at all. There are actually quite a few lightly and seriously wounded soldiers and generals who died in battle, and such a large number of personnel must be arranged well for Li Xin.
Otherwise, who will be willing to serve Datang in the future, and who will be willing to contribute to the country! Don't say that today is not peaceful, even when the world is peaceful, you must not chill the hearts of soldiers!
The matter of withdrawing troops and changing the guard was carried out until February of the eighth year of Tianding, and it was finally completed. In addition to the Central Plains and other places that have not changed, Liangyi, Liangzhou and Nanyang have basically been adjusted.
Calm and tranquility gradually returned to the localities, and the people, after experiencing the initial horrors of the war, soon resumed their daily lives under the leadership of the government. Although there is still a long way to go to reach the final goal, at least, this most difficult moment is over.
"Except for the counties won last year, the governance measures in the rest of the places should gradually be on par with Yongzhou, Bingzhou and other places. In Datang, we must treat everyone equally, and there must be no things that favor one over the other, otherwise, there will be a disaster of centrifugation, which is not good for the country! At the court meeting, Li Xin made a rough definition of the future direction of governance.
"The matter of education should not be delayed, and all localities are ordered to do a good job in the management and registration of household registration when dividing the land and land. Among them, especially those who are of school age, must register and report as soon as possible. Then, the Ministry of Rites will arrange for the establishment of schools and the appointment of personnel to manage them in various places as soon as possible! After a pause, Li Xin continued.
A century-old plan, education first, this is a wise saying! Li Xin did not have the luxury of saying that he would train all the people in the territory to become people full of wealth, but at least he could improve the literacy rate as much as possible and improve the education level of the people.
After all, at this time, Bai Ding occupies the vast majority. Perhaps the lack of knowledge of the common people is a good thing for the rulers, but the disadvantages are the same. After all, the uninformed people can always be easily instigated.
"Your Highness's words are good, but the conditions are different in different places, especially in some places, which are already in a difficult situation. At this time, if we do a lot of education, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it! Li Xin attaches so much importance to education, which is naturally a happy thing for Xue Zhan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he also knows the difficulties underneath, so he hurriedly stood up and said.
"This matter is in charge of the Ministry of Households, and after a detailed inspection and survey, the Ministry of Rites will report the implementation plan, and if the Ministry of Household Affairs has no opinions, if everything is reasonable, it will allocate funds from the treasury to support the localities. In short, we should set up schools everywhere as soon as possible, so that children can enter school as soon as possible! No matter how difficult this matter is, Li Xin doesn't intend to delay, so he said directly.
"Yes, the minister must handle it as soon as possible!" Unlike the elated Xue Zhan, as soon as he heard that he was going to pay a large sum of money, he had to answer with a sad face.
"The rest of the major events are basically handled according to our past experience. In short, during this time, we should try our best to recuperate and recover these newly peaceful places as soon as possible. On the issue of the empty year, it is hoped that all ministries will cooperate and support each other. The Metropolitan Procuratorate must be diligent in supervision, and once it is found that anyone is a corpse vegetarian and does not want to make progress, it will be severely punished! In the end, Li Xin's tone became more and more stern.
"Yes, the ministers obey!" Wang Meng and the others hurriedly bowed in response.
