Sun Xiangfu brought back some real data, such as the population distribution of South Asia, there have been great changes, the current population of Tianzhu is less than 8 million, plus the population of the southern countries, it is only 12 million.

In other words, even if you don't count the new population in these years, after Datang established Tammo Road, it has also absorbed nearly 10 million people from this area.

You must know that when Datang did not import manpower into China from here before, there were more than 20 million people here.

Of course, in addition to Tianzhu, there are two countries in South Asia with a relatively long civilization and a large population, one is Jialou Weibo and the other is the country of Pi.

Combined, these two countries have a population of almost three or four million, and if you count all the populations of the Persian Sassanid Empire, this batch of mergers will be completed, and the Tang Dynasty will almost add more than 30 million people.

From the announcement of the merger policy, the beginning of the chaos, to the eventual accession of the Tang Dynasty, the clean-up of evil religious beliefs, the demolition and reconstruction of land, houses, and infrastructure construction, etc., the local area will not have much productivity for at least one to two years.

In order not to cause the local economy to regress, and to be able to quickly move in a good direction, so that all the people can quickly return to their hearts and integrate into the new family of Datang, Datang needs a very huge round of money and material investment.

After following the general direction that had been basically established before, Sun Xiangfu said, "After more than ten years of development and growth, Australian ranches have been able to import a large amount of meat supply for Tammodao.

After several years of development in Lingnan Province and Annam Province, I believe you know better than me about the current grain output.

On the Tibetan Plateau, there is basically no need for upward supply from the Central Plains.

Coupled with the surplus grain output of Gangnam Province and Shannan Province, not to mention the population of 30 million, even if it is doubled, it can be easily fed.

However, our starting point cannot be just material, a kingdom with a deep-rooted religious regime like Jialu Weibo needs to be suppressed with iron and blood.

Therefore, Yinggong may need to personally lead a large army out of Tibet, sit in the local area, and scatter some stubborn people, preferably, ask Master Xuanzang to spread new Buddhism in the local area, and at the same time, send more art troupes to the local area to promote Han culture. ”

The Tang Dynasty has never only had a policy of Huai Rou, but there is no opponent who needs to use force to strike, and the religious culture of Jialou has always affected Tubo and Yunnan Province, which is intolerable, because it has affected the spread of Han culture and the unification of Han civilization.

"What about the country of Pyu? The king of this country seems to also believe in the religion of the Garo, how do we deal with it? After digesting what Sun Xiangfu said, Li Chengqian asked again.

Sun Xiangfu replied, "A tribal and semi-religious kingdom like the Pian Kingdom can directly let the Grand Governor of Shelong lead a large army, advance by land, put pressure on them, and then send out a navy to directly attack their royal city and go down in a battle."

As long as they take their king, most of those native tribes will surrender without a fight, after all, over the years, most of them have developed the intention of belonging to the Tang Dynasty through trade and trade with Nanzhong, and the purpose of sending a large army to fight them is mainly to destroy their bad beliefs and accept Han culture, not to kill people. ”

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, Li Chengqian and the three of them nodded in agreement, such as the semi-religious kingdoms like Tianzhu, Jialou Weibo, and Biguo, with the force of the Tang Dynasty, they can easily take it, but if it is taken down, there is no strong army to play a deterrent role, and quickly let the local people live a good life and generate new beliefs, then there will be endless rebellions because of religious beliefs.

This is also one of the reasons why the Tang Dynasty has a force far beyond several strata of other empires in the world, but it did not directly start a war to achieve great unification.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is already big enough, and taking more land cannot make all people live better, so reunification does not mean the unity of the land, but the unity of the people's hearts.

At present, the belief of the Great Cannibal is the most difficult to deal with, so it is the ultimate goal of the Tang Dynasty, and the Byzantine Empire also has their beliefs, and destroying or making these beliefs harmless and free from disputes is one of the core goals of the Tang Dynasty.

"So, teacher, what are you going to do next? Or do you farm everywhere? After Sun Xiangfu's analysis, Li Chengqian, who already had some ideas, became clearer in his heart and asked.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, when it comes to leading troops to fight, I am far inferior to the generals, and my political ability and diligence are not as good as those of the court. ”

To lay down the territory of 10,000 miles, it is necessary to plant the territory of 10,000 miles, so that the people in the place can cultivate their fields, live in their own places, and be able to have enough food and clothing, which is the foundation of the stability of this world.

Datang's strategic plan for South Asia can be completed in just over a year, so his planting plan and development plan for South Asia must naturally be prepared, so that he can quickly follow up when the time comes.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Li Chengqian finally smiled and said, "In this case, the piece of festival talisman that your father gave you will continue to stay in your hands!" I hope that in the future, there will be more places that can provide output for the needs of the imperial court. ”

At this time, Li Tai answered, "The teacher's talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, and it should not be tied to the court, after the eldest brother's affairs are finished, next, it's time to talk about my affairs, now, in the political hall, I am in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and other matters, there are many new problems, can you teach me?" ”

Previously, the political affairs hall of the Tang Dynasty was headed by Shangshu's left and right servants Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, but because the country is big, there are too many things to deal with, too complicated, and only the two of them must be too busy, so Li Shimin added Li Tai, Li Ke, Chu Suiliang, and Ma Siren to enter the political affairs hall and hang the position of Ping Zhangshi, which means that the deputy prime minister and the prime minister are prepared.

Among them, Li Tai is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, that is to say, he can speak about the entire cultural and educational, propaganda, diplomacy, and official system of the Tang Dynasty.

As the country grows larger and the population increases, the first thing that will be impacted is actually these aspects under his jurisdiction.

For his consultation, Sun Xiangfu said after a little thought, "In terms of culture and education, it is natural to teach students according to their aptitude, so that talents in various industries can emerge more and contribute to the development and progress of the country.

In terms of the management of officials, you must clearly recognize one point, that is, any policies and systems are implemented by people, and managing people well is actually to balance their interests and needs and purify their minds.

In this world, there has never been a perfect system that can be implemented forever, and there are no immutable people.

You can only strictly supervise according to the actual situation, constantly promote the improvement of some mistakes and omissions, repair the existing shortcomings, maintain a mentality that keeps pace with the times, investigate the actual situation more, hear more evidence, think about these problems from a broader perspective, and then make conclusions. ”

The most likely thing to destroy a dynasty is always the corrupt administration of officials, and the politicians of most dynasties are not mediocre, and the management system they have formulated, as long as it is implemented well, can govern a country in an orderly manner.

This is also the reason why most dynasties, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, can appear a strong and prosperous situation, but after a long time, people's needs will change, in this world, people's hearts are endless, can never be satisfied, to have one and ten, is the inferior nature of people.

Then, people's hearts are changing, but your system has not changed with it, and it has not met everyone's needs, so all kinds of problems will naturally emerge.

Take the current Tang Dynasty as an example, if you give the current officials a salary according to the system set in the first year of Zhenguan, it will definitely not work.

Because with the current level of consumption, if you want to live a decent life in society, the expenses are much greater than more than ten years ago, and if an official with a positive grade can only get less than 300 yuan a year, then he can't afford to enjoy many things in society.

What should I do if I can't afford it?

Use the power in your hands to seek personal gain, so that you can enjoy it!

No matter how much supervision system you have, even the supervision of the whole people, he also has the same way to seek benefits and damage the market without breaking the law.

Spend the same money, buy the same thing, and buy whom, it is the official in charge of procurement who has the final say!

There may be many people who produce the same goods, and everyone wants to sell them at the same price while maintaining the same quality and price as others.

And once this kind of relationship and bribery begins to arise, there will be a series of vicious circles of corruption, counterfeiting, and tofu slag projects.

Officials want to make profits, and businessmen want to make profits more than officials.

Is it all the fault of officials and businessmen?

Not necessarily, if you set the reform of the official's salary system to the extent that it can satisfy his more decent life, then the probability of things happening will be much lower, after all, no one wants to break the law and lose his reputation and status, and live a comfortable life.

In the same way, many other policies, if they are not reasonable, if they are not as convenient as possible for the general public, so that the people feel that they are fair and reasonable, then it is not perfect.

The people may be able to tolerate the slight bad places, but if the more serious ones are, the people will resist your policies, so that there are more aspects of resistance, and the chaos of the people will come out.

On how to develop culture and education, and how to clean up the rule of officials, Sun Xiangfu talked a lot with the three brothers, because of the accumulation of thousands of years of historical experience, Sun Xiangfu's perspective on problems can often be more objective than the people of this era, but they have benefited a lot.

Of course, in these aspects, Sun Xiangfu is also a mouth cannon, he is usually a good person who is used to doing it, acquaintances generally have something to ask for their own things, he can do it, he has done it, and he is not too embarrassed to refuse for gifts, this is due to his character.

Those who can carry out work like this well are people like Wei Zheng or Chu Suiliang.

As for the art of employing people! Today, Li Shimin said that he was the strongest, and no one dared to disagree with him, and they couldn't ask for advice in Sun Xiangfu.

"Okay, you're done with the two of you, and then, it's my turn." Li Ke waited for Sun Xiangfu to have a thorough conversation about Li Tai's problem before he took over.

Now, he is in charge, but the industrial development, the current situation is not like the first year of Zhenguan, because the Tang Dynasty has been continuously merged into various small kingdoms in the Western Regions over the years, as of the summer of this year, the people who hold the household registration of the Tang Dynasty have reached 75 million people, and of them, there are 20 million people, who are paying personal income tax on salaries, accounting for half of all adults in the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, half of the adults in the Tang Dynasty are working and getting wages.

With such a large group, many of the problems that extend are things that the courtiers in the past can't understand, and only some students who have reached the level of graduating from junior high school from the new school can put forward some plans and suggestions for improvement.
