In the matter of the rule of officials, we have to take our time, we can't be in a hurry, Li Xuan plans to carry out the rectification of the rule of officials every few years in the future.

He can't ensure that the officials of the Tang Empire are not corrupt, because this kind of thing can't be eliminated at all, but he can control this kind of thing within a certain range and not affect the overall situation.

After rectifying the rule of officials, it also brought another benefit to Li Xuan, that is, his prestige among the people has been further enhanced!

Corrupt officials are hated by ordinary people, and now that the Son of Heaven has launched a crackdown on corrupt officials, he will naturally be able to gain a lot of prestige.

It's just that Li Xuan himself doesn't pay much attention to this, and begins to pay attention to other things, such as Fusang!

The Ryukyu Prefecture reported that there had been a recent disturbance on the Fuso side, and several powerful daimyo had joined forces, as if they wanted to unite to unify the Fuso Islands.

And this matter, the Tang Empire naturally can't sit idly by!

A unified Fuso is not in the interests of the empire!

Li Xuan immediately forwarded the report of the Ryukyu Prefecture to the Imperial Study, and asked them to come up with a practical charter.

Li Xuan didn't care about the specific process, he just needed to see the result, that is, let Fusang maintain the current state of division, and there must be no reunification.

At the same time, he also added an additional request, that is, to gradually increase the encroachment on the Fuso Islands.

The empire's encroachment on Fuso began several years, and later seized the Osumi Islands, and established Osumi Prefecture, seized Tsushima Island, and established Tsushima Prefecture, in addition to seizing some small islands over the years, in addition to many areas of the Fuso Islands, especially in the more important coastal port areas, in the name of buying and leasing land to build trading posts, many colonies were obtained, such as in Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya, Edo, Sendai and other places, all of which had trading posts of the Tang Empire. These trading posts are located in the port area, and although they are generally not large, most of them are a few square kilometers or even tens of square kilometers.

In the above-mentioned colonies, the Tang Dynasty usually arranged a small garrison or even a small number of warships.

The acquisition of the above-mentioned colonies was obtained by different means, some were obtained through friendly negotiations, some were simply obtained by the threat of force, or simply through military strikes.

Relying on the numerous colonies in the Fusang Islands, the Tang Empire established a complete commercial network in the Fusang Islands, acquired many special products produced in the Fusang Islands, and sold many industrial products of the Tang Empire to the Fuso people.

At the same time, relying on these colonies, the Tang Empire also maintained a relatively strong military force in the Fuso Islands, which was able to influence the daimyo near the colonies.

However, in today's Fuso Islands, there are too many daimyos, not a few dozens, but hundreds or thousands of various messy daimyos, some of which are characters such as village chiefs, while some daimyo are powerful daimyo with thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, even if the Tang Empire's penetration of Fusang is very strong, it is still difficult to influence all the daimyos, especially the powerful ones.

In recent years, many of the Daimyo on the Fusang Islands have also appeared a lot of outstanding talents, and after these talents came into contact with the Tang Dynasty, many people have an idea, that is, to learn from the Tang Empire!

Through various innovations, a powerful modern army was formed, and Fuso was completely unified, and then industry and commerce were developed.

I have to say that the Tang Empire is now acting as a good teacher for the Fusang people, and it has already pointed out a very clear path to prosperity and strength for them, and it has been proven to be able to go.

These people advocated the reunification of the Fuso archipelago as soon as possible and the concentration of the forces of the whole Fuso to develop industry and commerce.

This situation could not have happened in the Fuso Islands in the original time and space, but now it is happening.

It has to be said that the Fuso people are a very good people who are good at learning, and when faced with a powerful enemy, their first reaction is not fear, but worship, and yet learning.

Under the influence of this trend of thought, many daimyo in the Fuso archipelago have begun to unite and form a powerful coalition to conquer other daimyo in an attempt to unify the Fuso archipelago.

And this situation is not allowed by the Tang Empire!

The Imperial Study Office quickly came up with the relevant regulations, that is, to intervene decisively and quickly in the situation of the Fuso Islands, through financial support, ordnance support and other means, and when necessary, directly use military force, and there is only one purpose, that is, to hinder the reunification of the Fuso Islands.

At the same time, many ministers of the Imperial Study unanimously agreed that the Empire's presence in the Fuso Islands was still too weak, with only a dozen or so small colonies, and the garrisons on them ranged from dozens to more than 100 people, which was completely unable to safeguard the interests of the Empire at a critical moment, and they believed that it was necessary to increase the number of troops on the Fuso Islands.

In the process of intervening in the situation in the Fuso Islands and increasing troops, they also proposed the need to further strengthen their control over Fuso, and they proposed to expand the colonies and even directly occupy Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island.

However, although Li Xuan agreed to the previous suggestions, he vetoed the plan to directly send troops to occupy Kyushu and Shikoku Island!

Li Xuan did not give a clear reason for refusal, at least he did not leave any reason for refusal in writing.

However, at the private meeting of the ministers on duty in the imperial study, Li Xuan directly explained that there are still too many people in the Fusang Islands, and they have formed their own traditional culture, and the empire's rash annexation of the Fusang Islands is easy to attract a great backlash.

Li Xuan only said that there are too many people on the Fusang Islands!

There is no need for Li Xuan to say the following, the ministers will know what to do!

Do what?

Reduce the population of the Fuso Islands!

In fact, years of fighting on the Fusang Islands have greatly reduced the local population, and when the Tang Empire set foot in the Fusang Islands, because of the export of ordnance and the continuous war, in the past seven or eight years, the total population of the Fusang Islands, especially the number of young and middle-aged people, has dropped by at least 20 percent compared with the past.

But that's still not enough!

After internal discussions, the Minister on Duty in the Imperial Study decided to formulate targeted measures in response to the concerns of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time adjusted the policy of the Fuso Islands!

The adjusted Fuso policy!

The most important point is to keep the current situation in the Fuso Islands unchanged, in other words, to keep Fuso in a state of war, not to let them reunify, and not to let them have a state of peace.

The second is to increase the number of troops, expand the size of the colony, and expand the military power and political and economic influence in the Fuso Islands.

Then there was a moratorium on the annexation of Kyushu and Shikoku, and a more relaxed marriage policy!

The first few are very easy to understand in the literal sense, but the marriage policy in the back is worth focusing on 1

On the surface, this marriage policy is about the marriage between the ruling class of the Tang Dynasty and the ruling class of Fusang, after all, before the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan, the Holy Monarch of the Ages, had already accepted two royal concubines of the Fusang Emperor.

From this point of view, the Tang Empire has already implemented a marriage policy on the Fusang Islands, but in fact, this is only the most superficial!

In fact, the marriage policy formulated by the ministers on duty in the imperial study was not aimed at the rulers of both sides, but at the people.

The policy encouraged the male subjects of the Tang Empire to marry Fusang women as wives and concubines!

This policy, in fact, has great similarities with the marriage policy adopted by the Tang Empire for the Goryeo Peninsula in those years, and one of the major policies is to take advantage of the huge population advantage of the Tang Empire to directly digest a large number of childbearing women of the Fusang population!

Directly married all their women of the right age to give birth, if the Fuso people are not finished, a group of ministers in the imperial study dare to write their names upside down.

At that time, the Goryeo Peninsula did not have a population of one million, but the Tang Empire only dispatched hundreds of thousands of singles, that is, almost half of the women of childbearing age on the entire Goryeo Peninsula were married.

Subsequently, the birth rate of pure Koreans plummeted to a negligible level.

In fact, the Koreans, as an independent ethnic group, actually no longer exist, and have been completely integrated into the Chinese nation.

With a population of more than one million, in front of the more than 150 million Chinese nations, there is not even a splash, and it has completely disappeared without a trace.

Nowadays, those Korean people who have integrated in, if you want to say that they are Koreans, not Tang people, people are in a hurry with you, they will justify, Goryeo is also a part of the Tang Dynasty, and the name of the Korean people is just a name for their hometown, just the same name as Guangdong, Zhejiang people, etc.

Even some people who are anxious simply abandon this title and completely conceal it.

All this is to better integrate into the Tang Empire and be a real Tang people!

The Tang Empire's policy towards the Fusang Islands is naturally impossible to be the same as the policy towards the Goryeo Peninsula back then, when the population of the Goryeo Peninsula was more than one million, and the sense of cultural identity was very strong, and they themselves were very willing to be a Tang Dynasty.

But Fusang is different, even if the modern national concept has not yet appeared, and at the same time they have been greatly influenced by Han culture, but they still have formed a very unique traditional culture, with a thousand-year-old emperor, and it is unlikely that they will actively integrate into the Tang Empire with a smile.

Therefore, the Tang Empire did not force any integration, or military conquest, they directly used a more simple method, that is, to marry their women!

The ministers on duty in the imperial study hope to see such a scene in a few years: the entire Fuso Islands are gone, and there is not even a single young woman of school age, only groups of singles remain!

Let those Fuso men play with eggs!
