When He Luohu received the decree, he ordered himself to enter the palace to meet him, and walked through the Nangong Gate, and immediately felt that there was a lot of bad luck. On the one hand, he is a thief, and on the other hand, he does not have much courage and courage.

Du Sherate also felt that things were a bit abnormal, and he had the heart to attack immediately, but the palace gate was not opened, and with these dozens of people wanting to attack the palace, wouldn't it be a pipe dream?

But if His Majesty really summoned He Luohu for something else and did not resist the order, wouldn't it arouse people's suspicions and expose the assassination plan in plain water?

Or, His Majesty Li Er got some news, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, and if he wanted to summon He Luohu into the palace, he would ask him face to face. But if He Luohu is allowed to enter the palace, with his psychological quality, it is very likely that His Majesty Li Er will ask about the flaws.

The sudden change suddenly put the metropolitan society rate in a dilemma. It may be that there is nothing wrong, they are just thieves with a weak heart; It is also possible that they have been exposed, and they are just waiting for death.

But before the capital could figure out what to do, a cronie hurried to report that He Luohu had fled with a dozen of his men after sending away the herald's guards with lies.

It's over, whether it's true or not, as soon as He Luohu runs like this, it can be regarded as a complete end without self-confession.

Du She stomped his feet hatefully, secretly scolding He Luohu for being as timid as a rat and making it difficult to achieve great things. He also knew that he would definitely not be able to get out of it, and instead of waiting for death, it was better to flee first, maybe he could run to the northern grasslands and find a way to meet his clansmen.

Thinking of this, the capital society took the lead in hailing the cronies and clansmen who participated in the assassination plan, rode north, and fled for their lives like He Luohu.

It is really surprising that the plan is thorough and the preparation is confidential, but it is really surprising that it fails before it is moved. But when you dig deeper, there are also reasons for the inevitable failure.

With forty or fifty people, they are not core guards, even if it is a surprise attack, it is just killing and injuring some janissaries. If you want to threaten the life and safety of His Majesty Li Er, it is absolutely impossible.

This is the case with the changes in the Jiucheng Palace in history, many guards were killed and injured, but His Majesty Li Er was safe and sound. Tosha and Ho Luohu fled for their lives, but were soon captured one by one.

By the time Xu Qilin returned to the main hall, the guards had already reported to His Majesty Li Er that He Luohu, Du Shelu, and some Turkic guards had fled.

This is undoubtedly the news reported by Xu Qilin, even if it is not an assassination, it has an ulterior purpose.

His Majesty Li Er gave the order, ordered the flying cavalry to pursue, and sent someone to inform Chang'an and the local government with a handwritten order to arrest the fugitives and their families.

Is that the end of it? How bold is the sting, why is there no rigidity at all?

Xu Qilin was still waiting to confront He Luohu and Du She, or in a jingling battle, the main culprit was captured in embarrassment, and he knelt down and confessed.

Well, it's nice to end it quietly, so as not to frighten the old lady.

Xu Qilin sat on the stool honestly, waiting for His Majesty Li Er to complete the arrangement, thinking that he would be able to leave and return tomorrow.

After a while, the guards were ordered to withdraw, and His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, lowered his head and pondered silently.

Xu Qilin glanced at His Majesty Li Er, swallowed his saliva, and decided to wait a little longer, so as not to disturb Li Er's thinking about life.

Prior to this, His Majesty Li Er had always believed that "since ancient times, China has been noble, and I have loved it as one." ”

From the point of view of favoring the Turkic generals, he also inherited this principle, and the number of Turkic surrenders was only more than 200,000, and those who lived in the fifth rank or more accounted for half of the imperial court.

But under such care and preference, in exchange for assassination, His Majesty Li Er's mood can be imagined.

After waiting for a long time, just when Xu Qilin was about to open his mouth to speak, His Majesty Li Er said faintly: "The Chinese people, the foundation of the world, the people of the four yi, are the same branches and leaves, disturbing their roots with thick branches and leaves, and seeking long-term peace, there is no such thing. At first, he didn't accept Wei's words, but he felt that his labor was getting worse and worse, and he lost the way of long-term peace. ”

What did Uncle Wei say, do you regret not listening to it now?

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and pondered carefully, and from the meaning of his words, he probably guessed that Wei Zheng was against the settlement of the Turkic people south of the Yellow River.

In fact, there is no absolutely correct answer in history as to how to deal with the nomadic tribes who submit.

placed in the hinterland, administered by counties, regarded as Chinese people; Or live in the old land, as a vassal state, given a certain degree of autonomy. There are pros and cons to both approaches, and they can only be approached differently at different times.

In the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty had too little population and laid a huge territory, but it could not settle and occupy it steadily and for a long time.

If the Tang Dynasty had hundreds of millions of people, not to mention Mo Nan and Mo Bei, and hit the Arctic Ocean, it would be too small a place, a large population, and not enough resources!

"Your Majesty, there is actually no foolproof way to settle the Turkic people." Xu Qilin thought for a while, and said slowly: "The key is still China's strength. ”

After a pause, seeing that His Majesty Li Er was listening carefully, Xu Qilin continued: "And a very important aspect of China's strength is the number of people. Wouldn't it be beautiful if there was enough population to occupy one place and keep one place, so that it would be my Tang Dynasty land? ”

His Majesty Li Er snorted and said, "Add Ding to increase the number of households, and the national policy is also!" But it is not urgent, without the efforts and accumulation of several generations, how can we achieve the sufficient population you said. ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said: "Actually, increasing the population of my Tang Dynasty may not depend entirely on the Chinese people to nourish and give birth, and foreigners can also do it." ”

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, a little stunned, but soon smiled slightly and said, "Tell me about your ghost idea, it will definitely not be on the stage." ”

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are not right, if Weichen's method can be perfected, it can also become my national policy of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"I hear it, what is your national policy?" His Majesty Li Er had a teasing tone, and his expression was the same.

China has been a unified multi-ethnic country since ancient times, and taking His Majesty Li Er as an example, bringing Lao Tzu as an ancestor cannot change the fact that he has Hu ancestry.

Therefore, whether it is a minority in the country, such as the Turkic people; or crooked nuts who don't leave when they come to Datang, they can all be regarded as a type of person.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no nationality, and household registration was the only sign of your status as a Tang person. Once you have a household registration, the government will give you land according to the uniform land system. Of course, this is only a legal provision.

Xu Qilin's idea is to set up a permanent residence permit and the rules for joining the Tang nationality, which are equivalent to the green card and nationality of later generations.

The reason for this idea is also that Xu Qilin laid the foundation for future industrial production. To put it bluntly, it is to solve the problem of labor shortage.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy for you to recruit workers. How many landless craftsmen, that is, migrant workers, can there be? If you dare to recruit farmers with high salaries or other preferential treatment, the hat of inducing farmers to abandon farming can crush you to death.

The weaving workshop is temporarily supported by the slaves and maids of the Yeting Palace, but heavy physical work such as coal mining, steel making and casting, etc., must use male labor.

Of course, the labor gap can be replenished by the capture of prisoners in the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars. However, exhaustion is not conducive to sustainable development and does not have the effect of increasing population.

"If a captive is captured and does a few years of work, it is called labor reform." Xu Qilin took a sip of tea and continued: "Tell them Datang's policy again, if you work hard in the past few years and perform well, you will give them a free body and a permanent residence permit......"

In this way, the captives will have a hope, fewer people will resist the trouble, and their enthusiasm for work will be increased. After a few years of heavy work, if you can't die, it is estimated that the wildness has been worn out, and the temperament has been tamed.

With a permanent residence permit, if you are willing to continue working, you will be paid, and you can also find a job on your own and become a free and flexible worker.

This is not the end, if you have a permanent residence permit, it does not mean that you are a Tang person, you want to be beautiful!

You have to live in Datang for three or five years, have not committed any crimes, and have reached a certain level of Chinese, so that you can take an oath to express your love for Datang, support Datang's laws, and be willing to contribute to the prosperity of Datang. Only then can you join the Tang nationality and become a Tang person.

For those crooked nuts, it is natural to formulate another set of inspection rules.

For example, how many years of legal operation, how many years of tax payment, what outstanding contributions to Datang and so on. Then, it remains the process of permanent residence permit to naturalization.

"These foreigners who have joined the Tang nationality may follow the example of the Qin and Han dynasties and be classified as 'city registration' to distinguish them from 'household registration'."

Xu Qilin finally concluded, "Weichen thinks that with the profound cultural heritage of China, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the courage of His Majesty to accept all rivers, it is not too difficult to assimilate the naturalized people and become the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Although there are pros and cons to immigrating to the country, it also depends on how to operate it to make immigrants have a sense of identity. And in the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are countless ethnic groups that have been assimilated.

His Majesty Li Er lowered his eyelids and fell into a long thought.

You must know that as a powerful Central Plains dynasty, there is no "admiration for foreigners" at all. On the contrary, discrimination against crooked Guoren is stipulated in the form of law.

Don't allow crooked Guoren to wear Tang clothes, just wear yours, and you can tell at a glance whether it is us Tang people; We are not allowed to marry our women, no matter how rich they are.

And the surrounding tribes, including Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Xue Yantuo, as well as the crooked Guoren who came to Datang and couldn't leave, all regarded marrying women in Datang as a proud thing.

But you can only yearn for it, and you want to use marrying us Tang women to change the genes of your various races. But we Tang people can marry crooked Guoren, specially, so domineering.

You are not allowed to buy a house or land in our Datang, you can buy and sell and make money, but after you die, all your property cannot be taken out of Datang, and you must stay in the land of our Datang.

But it's so discriminatory, so domineering, those crooked nuts are still reluctant to leave, and they rely on them without skin and face.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er was a little hesitant and hesitant about the immigration and naturalization of crooked nuts. But he didn't have much opinion on the captives of the surrounding tribes, that is, Yidi.

As His Majesty Li Er said, "Since ancient times, China has been noble, and I love it as one", he is still relatively tolerant of the generals and can be reused. People like Ashina Sheer, Hei Tooth Changzhi and others are all listed as high-ranking officials and lords because of their merits.

Therefore, after thinking deeply, His Majesty Li Er felt that the specific regulations could be determined, and the trial should be carried out starting with the prisoners to see how effective it was.

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er raised his head and said to Xu Qilin with a smile: "Do you see that the slaves and maids in the Yeting Palace are very pitiful, and you want to help them find a way out?" ”

Xu Qilin did not hide it, and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and it was from them that Weichen was inspired to come up with these ghost ways. Your Majesty is magnanimous and merciful, so give them a chance to mend their ways and become new people! ”

This is said from the bottom of his heart, as the thinking of later generations, Xu Qilin really can't get used to the law of "slaves and slaves", and he doesn't like the ancient Zhulian.

But if you want to say anything about reforming and being a new person, it is to choose beautiful words for His Majesty Li Er. What are the sins of other women and children, they are not connected.

His Majesty Li Er snorted and said in a deep voice: "The country has national laws, and you are still too soft-hearted. ”

Too soft-hearted?! Sort of, in fact, it should be said that it is more humane, how lofty it is, although I don't want to be a virgin.

Seeing that Xu Qilin bowed his head and acquiesced, His Majesty Li Er no longer spoke deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Let's first set the naturalization regulations for the captives and slaves, and let the ministers discuss it to see if it is feasible." ”

Come little by little, Xu Qilin bowed down and said: "Weichen on behalf of those slaves and maids thank Your Majesty for your majesty's mighty grace, long live, long live, long live." ”

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, and was happy at this new title, but he reprimanded with a straight face: "Clever words, don't be that flattering minister." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "If you can make Your Majesty's dragon heart happy, and benefit the country and the people, what does it matter if you are a minister?" ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, but he still couldn't help laughing, and said, "You lazy boy, go with the car!" When to set the charter, when to roll back to Chang'an. ”

Ah-Xu Qilin was dumbfounded, got up to prevaricate, His Majesty Li Er had already waved his hand, "Stand down, the guards will arrange for you to rest, and tomorrow the rooster will go to Jiucheng Palace." ”

Xu Qilin reluctantly bowed and retired, and went to bed first, maybe His Majesty Li Er would change his mind tomorrow!

…………….

Chang'an, the palace of the king of Wei.

"Your Highness, Xu Kucheng hasn't returned home yet." The steward reported to Li Taiyu respectfully and with some anxiety: "The people in Xu's mansion only know that he is in a hurry to get out of the city, and they don't know what is going on. ”

Li Sipang waved his hand and said, "Let's go again tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!" The steward bowed and withdrew.

Where did this Xu Qilin go? Li Tai frowned, picked up the book from the bookcase, and read it absentmindedly.

The footsteps came from far and near, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Princess Yan Wan walked in, and behind her was a girl ring with tea and snacks.

"Lord Wang, let's have some refreshments!" Yan Wan ordered Yahuan to arrange tea and snacks, and waved his hand to make Yahuan retreat.
