Chapter 146: Li Chengyan's embarrassment
The night is deep, and a little moonlight should be on the ground, so that the entire palace is shrouded in pale white moonlight, Yang Tinger and Li Chengyan are enjoying the cool in the corridor, and the two sit at separate tables, a pot of tea, and a plate of pastries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Chengyan was quietly sipping the tea, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, but Yang Ting'er was chattering on the side about the interesting things at the banquet, and seeing Li Chengyan's absent-minded expression, he quieted down.
"What is Brother Chengyan thinking? So into the mind? ”
Li Chengyan sighed lightly, and then said.
"Although Jieli is dead, but the grassland is not dead, Jieli still has millions of herdsmen, if it is not handled properly, it will definitely be endless troubles."
In recent years, the grasslands have been either in drought or snow, and there are nearly a million refugees rather than nearly a million herders.
"Can't you move to Guanzhong? Gathered together, it is easy to manage. ”
Yang Ting'er's words made Li Chengyan laugh, thinking too simply,
"A few years after the Yongjia Rebellion, the two emperors of Zihuai and Zhu were taken captive to the north, and after the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, the north was lost at the hands of foreign races several times, who dares to mention this? If it is anything else, who dares to take this responsibility? ”
Yang Ting'er stuck out her tongue, and just about to say a few words of comfort, Ren Chang entered the palace gate, looked at Li Chengyan who was drinking tea, and said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty ordered you to go to the Ganlu Hall for ceremonies, and several adults have arrived, so they are waiting for you."
Li Chengyan shook his head, and Yang Ting'er on the side ended up putting a big coat on Li Chengyan, and then left with the people.
As soon as he walked outside the Ganlu Palace, he heard that the face was already noisy, and when he pushed the door in, everyone was stunned, and then the eldest grandson Wuji walked in front of Li Chengyan in a few steps, took Li Chengyan's hand and said.
"Admit it, tell me, is it possible for this herdsman to enter the customs?"
Li Chengyan hadn't spoken yet, but Wei Zheng on the side said loudly.
"The lesson of the previous car is in front of you, the matter of the well-dressed southward crossing, hasn't the eldest grandson forgotten?"
The eldest grandson shook his head angrily, and then pointed at Wei Zheng and said.
"Emperor Hui is corrupt, the border defense is out of balance, and the people are widowed and lonely, so there is the Yongjia Rebellion, how can it be compared with my dignified Tang Dynasty, and Liu Yuan's rebellion back then was all caused by the border army's abuse of the people,"
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were red, and he always made trouble for himself all night, speaking of which, Li Chengyan also knew what he was discussing, watching Li Er sit on the main seat and close his eyes to recuperate, ignoring these things, Li Chengyan stepped forward and said.
"Son-in-law, see father."
Li Er didn't look at it, waved his hand and motioned for Li Chengyan to sit down and speak, everyone sat down, and Fang Xuanling sat in his seat and said.
"Auxiliary machine, this is not to say that it is not possible to enter the customs, the herdsmen on the grassland, dismount for the people, get on the horse for the army, how to deal with it has to be discussed slowly, this is a big deal, there can be no sloppiness."
The eldest grandson chopped his foot angrily, but Li Er spoke.
"Let's talk about it."
Li Chengyan pondered for a moment and said: "Don't be in a hurry when the grassland, easy indulgence is a big disaster, relocation is a symptom but not a cure, the grassland war, so that the Tang Dynasty has accumulated three years of accumulated consumption, a few days ago I went to the household department, a few warehouses of grain added up, less than six million quintals, even if the grain and grass in Lingnan come this year, it is just a drop in the bucket." Can't we tighten our belts to raise those herdsmen, besides, if we raise them this year, what about next year? ”
"Promise, even if~"
The eldest grandson Wuji was just about to speak, but Li Chengyan had already interrupted.
"Uncle! This is one thing, and the second is that the customs of the herdsmen are different from those of the Han people, and the Turkic people are fierce, and they do not understand the etiquette and law, and do not argue about things, and if they are forcibly requisitioned, it will only be harmful and useless. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, but you can't let it go, the grassland crisis seems to have been lifted, but among the millions, there are still less than half of them who can fight, as long as the grassland is restless for a day, the Central Plains is not clean for a day!"
Wei Zheng said to Li Chengyan, but as soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, everyone began to say their thoughts, and suddenly the palace was in chaos again, Li Er slapped the table, and everyone quieted down.
"I know you're paying attention, let's talk about it."
Li Chengyan stood up and saluted and said.
"The so-called education is to teach and educate, teach people to know etiquette, know morality, know agriculture, so the sons think that education is the most important, but the grassland barbarians, since ancient times, are mainly nomadic herders, if they are forcibly handed over to their agricultural mulberry, it can only be half the effort."
"You mean you want to move Hermes-Epitek to the grasslands?"
Li Er frowned and said, this is too risky, Li Er shook his head, Li Chengyan naturally knew what Li Er was thinking, and persuaded him.
"This is just one of them, the relocation of the people has already been, the Qin Emperor moved 100,000 people to the Hetao, why can't the Tang Dynasty move 100,000 people to the side of Yin Mountain today? The grassland now belongs to the Tang Army, that is, our land, the father should set up counties and counties, and use foreign races to manage foreign races, but the people who moved over were managed by us, intermarried with each other, handed over to their farmers, and slowly assimilated. ”
"This plan doesn't work, the Turkic people are fierce, if you learn to farm, won't you make trouble for yourself?"
"Lord Wei, listen to me, it is the people of the grassland who manage the county, but the grassland is not allowed to have its own army, each tribe must not have more than a hundred weapons, no more than fifty bows and arrows, and the same is true for the larger ones, control salt, tea, and the amount that their own tribes are allowed to use, and they must not hoard, so that they can have long-term peace and stability."
"This ~ autonomy law is unprecedented, and how to govern, how much power?"
"My family is in charge of our own affairs, we don't understand their customs, so we naturally want them to be autonomous, but I don't mean to put all the power in the hands of the Turks, each Turkic tribe has a chief, the patriarch needs to live in the city for a long time, and everyone discusses together, but we need our generals to observe, and the deputy positions such as the warden and the assassin need to be taken by the Han people, appointed by the imperial court, and a group of people will be co-opted and suppressed, which will definitely make the grassland stable for a long time, unless one day the control of the imperial court has expired."
Li Er nodded lightly, and then said.
"Garrison, limited food, limited salt, limited soldiers, intermarriage, ah~"
Li Er let out a sigh, then rubbed his forehead and said, "This matter will be discussed in the court tomorrow, let's talk about what to do with those prisoners first." ”
Don't you dare to say nonsense, let it go? That's a woe, take it? Afraid of something happening and killing? Hehe, don't even think about this, the scholars of the scholar clan have just come down honestly, and this is pouring hot oil on their heads.
"The minister thinks that it is better to let it go, after all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers, and the daily consumption is also a large amount."
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Li Er closed his eyes, obviously he didn't want to let it go, but it was not a way to keep it, at this moment, Li Chengyan said cautiously.
"Father, I don't know how much cement and bricks are produced now?"
Li Er glanced at Li Chengyan, and then said with a smile while pointing at Li Chengyan.
"Did you see it, did you see it, and you want me to pay for it."
Li Er can be regarded as having seen through Li Chengyan, and is thinking of a way to get money out of himself, but this is a good way, although the conscription is not very heavy now, but if it can be lightened, it will be lightened, and everyone here is not stupid, Li Chengyan already knows Li Chengyan's plan as soon as he said it.
"Isn't it some, unkind?"
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side blew up his hair.
"Wei Zheng! If it is not my race, its heart will be different, that is 100,000 people who control the Xuan, the battle of Weishui is still in front of us, the Turks have traveled all the way, and the number of Han people who have been taken away cannot be counted, you talk about mercy with these beasts, hum! ”
Wei Zheng was choked and speechless, and the people on the side looked funny, Li Eryi patted the chair and said.
"It's so decided, tomorrow in the court, I will make an order, I will first repair from Chang'an to Shuzhong."
"Your Majesty Shengming~"
Out of the door, Li Chengyan sighed heavily, hoping to develop in the direction he wanted, otherwise~ Li Chengyan really didn't dare to imagine it. (To be continued.) )
