Chapter 46: Lu Dongzan's Plea

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen with a frown, and after a moment, said, "I think about it." ”

Li Shen nodded, and did not continue, anyway, things are like this, let him think about it himself, now is indeed not the most suitable time to deal with Goryeo, the land is in the mountains and forests, the terrain is unfamiliar, it is not suitable for combat at all, for the sake of the long term, he still does not approve of starting a war against Goryeo now.

"Father, you think about it, Erchen doesn't say anything else, as long as you want to go to war now, Erchen also agrees with your opinion."

"I'll think about it and give you another answer."

His Majesty Li Er followed: "These people from Tubo are coming, what are your specific plans?" ”

"Coolies, and some people were sent to rebuild the city outside Chang'an City, which was used to build a comprehensive college in the Tang Dynasty, and the rest were used to build roads. Now the basic conditions of Datang are too poor, Erchen wants to let the people recuperate and recuperate over the years, accelerate the growth of the population, Datang is a vast land, the population is too small, at least the current population must be increased tenfold. ”

"Do you dare to say, ten times, do you know what the concept of is a double? With so many people, what to feed on? ”

"This father can rest assured, the farms in the western suburbs are all high-yield grains, and after two years, they should be able to be promoted in Datang, even if it is increased by twenty times, it can ensure that the people are full."

"You can watch and deal with these things! There is no need to discuss with me, there are some things that you can think about before making plans, Datang will be handed over to you sooner or later, and you can toss as you like when I am not there, but I live for a day, I still hope that you can not do excessive things. ”

Li Shen smiled and nodded.

"Your brother Li Tai sent a message a few days ago and wants to come back, what is your attitude?"

Looking at the slightly nervous look in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, Li Shen asked with a smile: "Erchen has no attitude, father, you can watch and deal with it yourself!" Then he stood up and said, "Erchen still has some things to deal with, so I will leave first." ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen's back as he turned to leave, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed in a low voice.

When he returned to the Prince's Mansion and saw Lu Dongzan who was sitting there and hurriedly stood up, Li Shen smiled and said, "What is the matter with Lu Xiang looking for loneliness?" ”

Lu Dongzan lifted his front clothes, knelt on the ground, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Why are you? Get up, have something to say directly. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers have some things to ask for, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to agree."

Li Shen sat down, crossed one leg, and said, "What's the matter?" Speak up and listen to it first. ”

"Your Highness, please use tea."

Li Shen nodded slightly at the little palace maid, took a sip of the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Say it!" ”

"Your Highness, the minister hopes that His Highness can spare the people of Tibet?"

What does Lu Xiang mean by this? Lone doesn't have the same as the people of Tubo, and besides, Tubo has now been incorporated into my Datang, that is, the people of my Datang, and Lone doesn't understand this kind of words. ”

"Your Highness, we are all smart people, and we don't need the ministers to explain the words, all the middle-aged men in Tubo have gone to the Tang Dynasty to build roads to engage in forced labor, women, children and children, how do you let them live? To put it mildly, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punishes according to different ages, it is ......"

Listening to Lu Dongzan's nagging for a long time, Li Shen smiled, he was a smart person, but he was not as he imagined, he wanted to bury all these middle-aged men in Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, if it was before, he was very likely, but now he has already seen through some things, and there is no need to bury the entire people of Tubo.

The more powerful the Tang Dynasty is, the more peaceful life it provides to the people, and when the time comes, the people of Tubo will naturally sincerely and completely submit to the Tang Dynasty, and after a few generations, they will completely forget about Tubo and only know that they are a member of the Tang Dynasty.

"Do you think Lone would treat the people of Tibet like that?"

"This ......" Lu Dongzan hesitated and lowered his head.

Li Shen smiled and said: "Get up, even if you don't look for Lone, Lone will look for you, the people of Tubo serve in the Tang Dynasty, it is just to repent of the sins they committed, this point of Lone's punishment for Tubo should not be too serious, right?" You have repeatedly violated the people of our Central Plains, and it is natural that you will be punished. ”

Lu Dongzan nodded slightly.

"Lone can arrange an errand for you, so that you and the officials of the Tang Dynasty can cooperate to manage the people of Tubo, as long as they don't make trouble and serve their due punishment well, you can go back to start a family and start a business, at most three generations, after three generations, the people of Tubo enjoy the same treatment as the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you said let the ministers manage it?"

"Why not?"

"No, no, I just don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the minister to do?" Lu Dongzan hurriedly nodded and said.

"Your obligation is to simply not make trouble for them, including their food and other problems, and will tell you how to do it when the time comes, I hope you can persuade the people of Tubo well, as long as you do a good job, Lone can ensure that they live in Datang, much stronger than they live in Tubo, a subsidy of 100 wen per month, and a one-time settlement after they serve their sentences. If they die while working, they will also receive a certain allowance for their families. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, as long as you can make the people of Tubo a member of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the minister is willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and manage all the people in Tubo." Lu Dongzan saluted and said.

Li Shen smiled and looked at the groveling Lu Dongzan nodded slightly, and said: "That's it, you go back to the post station to rest first, and wait for two days to buy you a house in Chang'an City, settle your family well, and someone will notify you at that time, and you will also see if there are any suitable people around you, Tubo has hundreds of thousands of people who have entered Datang this time, and help Gu select a thousand suitable people to manage with the officials of Datang." ”

"The minister understands, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are busy, and the minister will retire first."

"What the hell is going on?" Wu Meiniang walked out with a frown, followed by Wang Shihan, whose eyes were red and swollen.

"What's the matter?" Li Shen asked suspiciously, looked at Wang Shihan, and said, "What's wrong?" What are you crying about? ”

"What do you say?" Wu Meiniang said angrily.

"It's really strange for you to talk to this girl, you came out and told Lone why, where can Lone know what you mean?" Li Shen rolled his eyes and said.
