Chang'an City

Just when Li Ji was cleaning up the island and Feng Daiwen was working hard to farm, Li Shimin also received good news, and published it in the Tang Newspaper, and Chang'an Daily also reported the excellent deeds of the expedition personnel, especially the Khitan, Turkic, and Hui tribes, and then gave the soldiers a reward for clothes, fruits, frosting and other items, and said that when the war achievements came down, there would be a generous reward.

For a while, it caused a huge repercussion among the three ethnic groups, and began to accept it from the bottom of their hearts to join the Tang Dynasty, which also made the Han people less reluctant to join the ethnic minorities who joined the Tang Dynasty, accelerated the integration of ethnic groups, and made other Hu businessmen walking in the Tang Dynasty envious.

Li Shimin has always been handy at buying people's hearts, which seems to be his talent.

"Haha! Let's take a look at it, and talk about how to arrange the Japanese slaves. Li Shimin laughed happily, handed the report that received Li Ji and Feng Daiwen in his hand to Xiao Yu and the others.

"The minister thought that the young and strong Japanese slaves could transport some of them back to the Central Plains, although the spring ploughing has ended, but there are still a lot of people to build roads and canals." When everyone has seen it, the eldest grandson Wuji will speak first.

"There is basically no difference between the appearance of the Japanese slaves and us, and the minister suggested that some young and beautiful people can be selected, rewarded and given to the soldiers, and can be wives and concubines, but they must learn the customs and language of the Tang Dynasty, and they must also use the surname of the Tang Dynasty to give birth to children." Wei Zheng seriously suggested.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Fang Du and the two looked at each other in agreement.

"Yes, the minister also seconded the proposal, the British War News, at least there are 300,000 young women who are not young and strong in their families, and the minister thinks that these people can arrange marriage for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but if they have a family, they are not allowed to bring their families, and they are not allowed to have contact in the future." Li Jing also agreed.

"As for Feng Weiguo's request for immigration, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Governor Feng Du said that the Jiangnan family sent people to contract the land of Wadao Island and plant a large amount of grain and sugarcane, and the minister thought it was feasible, which would not only increase the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty, but also not much manpower." Fang Xuanling analyzed.

"Why don't you move the family to the past, just like the Shuofang grassland?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked with a frown.

"Ahem! I have long known about this, there are ground movements, tsunamis, and hurricanes all year round on Wa Island, which is not very suitable for survival, and there are not many people in the Central Plains, so it is best not to move too far, the black soil of Liaodong is very fertile, and a large number of people are still needed there, so I will talk about relocating the family in the future. "Actually, Li Shimin didn't say a little bit, he was alone overseas, it was not easy to guard, I don't know what the family would do on it, it was better to garrison and guard, this is Feng Daiwen's original words.

"Shengshang, since March this year, there has been no rain in Guanzhong for two months, although spring ploughing, I'm afraid there will be another big drought this year." Xiao Yu said with a frown.

"Qin Tianjian also said that there would be a big drought this year, but I didn't expect it to appear so early, how about the people's draft?" Li Shimin couldn't help frowning and asked.

"The saint is wise, fortunately, water conservancy has been built in the past two years, and there are several wells in each village, and there is basically no problem with the draft, but it is difficult to say how much grain can be harvested." Xiao Yu said with a happy face.

Li Shimin was also afraid, if it weren't for the large number of prisoners, repairing ditches and digging wells, I'm afraid there would have been chaos a long time ago, and the locust plague last year was also easily passed, and he couldn't help but be secretly grateful to someone who was still on Wajima, and then gave Guang'an a lot of rewards.

"Pay attention at any time, we can't let the people be unable to live after the disaster, and we will also adopt the method of cash-for-work, and the province will spread the will of the province to exempt the affected areas from paying taxes this year." Li Shimin said.

"Holy benevolence, ministers obey the order!" Fang Xuanling and the others hurriedly got up and answered.

"Whether the grain is opened in an official warehouse or transported and adjusted, please ask the Holy Lord to decide." The eldest grandson Wuji asked in a courtesy manner.

"Let's open the official warehouse, after the autumn harvest, we are filling the official warehouse with new grain." Although there have been disasters in various places every year in recent years, more places are increasing production and income, especially Jiangnan, Lingnan, and Nanyang, which are now only Jiangnan, and the grain collected in Lingnan is enough for more than one million people in Chang'an and Luoyang, which is also Li Shimin's greatest confidence.

"The party, the Tatar clan wrote a letter, asking the captives to change more weapons and equipment, what does the Duke of Wei Guo think." Li Shimin turned to Li Jing and asked.

"Back to the saint, the minister thinks that it is okay, the party, since the Yan tribe has sent troops to help and wants to capture prisoners, it is true that they can change more weapons and equipment, but they must make a secret note to prevent them from selling to make a profit." Li Jing thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, I also considered that the clans have always been friendly to the Tang Dynasty, so I considered exchanging a little more for them, but I must warn that if you dare to sell your weapons and equipment, you will be severely punished." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"The minister understands, and he must explain it to them clearly." Li Jing replied with a fist.

"The minister suggested that some rewards could be increased, after all, in this battle on Wajima, the party, the Yan clan, and the Murowei also died a lot of people, although they were hired, rewarding some can also win people's hearts and make them more active." Fang Xuanling suggested.

"Good! Let's do it according to the reward of half of the Tang soldiers, how many prisoners are in the Central Plains now? Li Shimin nodded with a smile and asked.

"Back to the Holy Shrine, there are 110,000 young and strong, mainly the Western Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, and U slaves, and 180,000 women, most of whom are U slaves, and Wa Island is still sent every month." The military department has always been responsible for taking care of prisoners, Li Jing took out a booklet from his sleeve and opened it to report.

"Good, women are selected, and if there is any surplus, the people who have no wives are allowed to report to the local government, and they will be distributed according to their age, and the elderly will be given priority." The corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose, obviously in a very happy mood, and he gave another order.

"Holy benevolence, the minister will definitely do it." The eldest grandson Wuji is also in a good mood, his son not only went to Wadao to get along with Feng Daiwen, but also made meritorious contributions, and there will be a lot of room for operation in the future.

"The minister suggested that officials from Liaoxi be sent to Wadao, after all, the prince and the other three long histories are all in Liaoxi, which is really useless." Du Ruhui has rarely spoken, but when he speaks, Li Shimin will basically agree, he is in a good mood recently, Du He was constantly arranged by Feng Daiwen to do things in western Liaoning, and the arranged family will have news, not only sensible a lot, but also has increased a lot of ability, no longer frivolous and incompetent in the past, and finally did not lose his old face.

There is another person who is also in a good mood, Fang Yiai followed Li Ke, and the two brothers Li Tai exercised together, and was arranged by Feng Daiwen to be the prince's personal guard, followed the emperor on patrol, and also made meritorious contributions, and he was also a lot more shrewd, and he was not an ignorant child in the past.

"The minister seconded the proposal, after two years of governance in the four counties of western Liaoning, it has already formed a convention, and it is indeed a big thing to have so many ministers." Fang Du and Du are both old partners, Du Ruhui said, Fang Xuanling was naturally the first to agree.
