Chapter 402: Rapid Development

"Wow!" Especially a group of ministers who are used to seeing big scenes, they still can't help but exclaim.

In just two years, the stored grain is almost catching up with the former Sui Sancheng, and it is fully capable of supporting several major wars.

"Congratulations to the saints!" After the excitement, everyone hurriedly offered their sycophants.

"Haha! This is also due to all of you, so let's move on to the next discussion. Li Shimin laughed and hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, otherwise he didn't know how long it would be delayed.

Feng Daiwen, the governor of the Western Regions, wrote a letter requesting that 50,000 Turkic warriors and 50,000 Japanese slave death squads be sent to the Western Regions to attack Khotan and develop the Western Regions.

He also asked for generals to lead the troops, saying that there were many cities in the Western Regions and more personnel were needed to defend them. Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said.

"Didn't you say earlier that you wouldn't attack too many small countries for the time being, so as not to cause an alliance of small countries and be hostile to our Datang? Why attack now? Xiao Yu asked with a frown.

"This Wei has an explanation, it is said that now Yanqi, Qiuzi has completely fallen to us, Cheshi, Da Yue, Kangju have also formed an alliance with us, agreed to divide the Western Regions, Wusun, Dawan, Xiaowan, and Shanguo are also tempted to attack Zhaowu Jiu.

Khotan was attacked for half a year, and the casualties were heavy, so it was just the opportunity to take it, and the Kunlun white jade needed in the Central Plains could be mined by itself in the future.

Moreover, it is also a good thing to drive the small countries of the Western Regions, robbers, and horse bandits farther west to plague countries such as Kushan and Dashi in the long run. Li Jing explained.

"Yes, the military department selects personnel, generals, and when the ice and snow melt after the beginning of spring, you can go." Li Shimin understood that Feng Daiwen asked him to arrange generals in order to appease his heart, and he didn't care, but just let the military department arrange it at will.

"The minister understands, obey the holy parable!" Li Jing is the leader.

The prince sent a letter to Zhongshu Province, saying that his Yuezhou needed a large number of agricultural tools and was willing to buy them at market prices.

Jiangnan Province requested the establishment of two more frosting sugar workshops, and the development of more sugarcane fields in Nanyang, and the imperial court was needed to suppress the local Tu people............ "The eldest grandson Wuji reported on the matters that were in great demand in various places and could not be decided by Zhongshu Province.

"Zhongshu Province first came up with a plan, and after the year was negotiating and finalizing the bill, now let's talk about what else is important, it is the Zhongshu Province that has discussed." Li Shimin listened carefully, but did not immediately settle down, and asked about other things.

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the ministers and others discussed that Liaoxi would stop making weapons and equipment next year, and all steel would be used to make farm tools and rails; It is suggested that Jiangnan, Lingnan, and Nanyang should increase grain cultivation and sugarcane cultivation, and completely bias the grain production center to the south, and the north to become an industrial and mining center. Fang Xuanling took out a booklet, opened it and read it slowly.

"Yes, the three provinces and six ministries will discuss together and strive to come up with the best plan." Li Shimin thought about it, and there was no big problem, but it was just to shift the focus of gravity, and it was not that the north did not farm, and it could also drive the localities, which was also a good thing.

And after a few years, the lane will be repaired, and it will only be a few days to Jiangnan, which is much happier than Yang Guang.

"It seems that I am going to plan to build a palace in Jiangnan." Li Shimin answered the question seriously, and thought proudly in his heart.

"Qi Qi Sheng, now Shuofang, Chang'an's workshop has one million sets of woolen sweaters and 1.8 million sets of cotton clothes, how does the Holy Shang arrange it? Whether it is rewarded in the army, or sold to the Western Regions, Liaodong. Fang Xuanling continued to ask.

"Why are there so many? Isn't it sold in the country? What do you think is the best arrangement? Li Shimin didn't expect that there was still so much inventory, and hurriedly asked suspiciously.

"Back to the saints, the country has sold a large number of them, and now there is still stock on the market, this is because there is no Western Turkic, Tuyuhun exists, in these two places are the most suitable for cotton growth, and the Western Turks and other joined the Tang Dynasty, bringing more cattle and sheep, and Shuofang grassland to Youzhou, the entire grassland sheep, captive and free-range breeding, and there is no snow disaster, the impact of wolves, now preliminary statistics, there are more than 10 million sheep in the country." Du Ruhui explained.

"Zhongshu Province thinks that it can sell more to Silla and Baekje, as for Goguryeo, of course it is not sold, although the roads in the Western Regions are difficult, it can still be transported over, at least to ensure that the Tang Dynasty belongs, all have cotton clothes, as for the soldiers in the cold areas in the north, they can be rewarded, and the rest of the selected coolies and slaves with good performance are rewarded to stimulate them to work better." Fang Xuanling took the words and continued.

"Yes, three provinces and six ministries will jointly formulate quotas, and the number will be implemented on the same day." As soon as Li Shimin heard this, this arrangement was already good, and he immediately agreed.

"After the Ministry of War and the three provinces discussed, please adjust the strength of the Shengshang, the generals, ministers and others thought that the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, Shuofang and other places could continue to push forward, stationed at the border pass today, and reduce part of the troops.

Liaoxi to defense-based, soldiers and horses to take turns to tuntian, Shuzhong, Longyou Road to reduce the defense of soldiers and horses, according to the horse report, Tubo was defeated last time, Songtsan Gampo only 50,000 elite soldiers, now can not control the place, just unified most of the region of Tubo, and fell into war, self-reliance, is expected to be within a few years, unable to go down the plateau, in saying that now there is a Hou Jun set the governor, blocking the main road of Tubo. Li Jing saw that the others stopped, and he also stepped forward and said.

"In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the plan of the ministers was to focus on the South China Sea and Nanzhao to open up the road to Tianzhu, and since there was such an arrangement in the Western Regions, they would dispatch generals to bring 50,000 Khitans, 50,000 Japanese slaves, and 10,000 Hui soldiers to the past.

The soldiers and horses in Shuzhong were mobilized to go to the country of Piao, using their familiarity with the mountains to slowly encroach, and the rest of the places let the garrison count the cottages, and everyone must register and obey the arrangements of the government.

They are in the mountains, that is, they live in poverty, and they cannot contribute to the imperial court, and it is also for their good to move out, and after calculation, they can at least increase the population by one million. Li Jing continued.

"Yes, Shengniu Jinda is the head of the march of the Pi country, leading the soldiers of Shuzhong to go to the Piu country, on the way to fight the 10,000 people of the Nanzhao department, and clean up the cottages in various places, which will be completed by the county and county government soldiers, and the troops are insufficient, and they will be mobilized by the military department.

Transferred Zhang Liang to the Udodo Province to assist in the attack on the Tu tribes, opened up the Silla and Baekje routes, restored the trade routes, and Goguryeo continued to blockade, allowing Liaoxi to lose his mind to explore, encircle, suppress, and drive Dumei. Li Shimin asked people to open the map, think about it, and make manpower arrangements, and the generals were transferred.

"Cheng Zhijie's garrison went from Youzhou to attack the Heishui Jin tribe, and hired the Murwei people to go with them to completely block Goguryeo." Li Shimin continued to give orders domineeringly.

"Holy Wisdom!"
