[Sorry, it's late]

Han Gang's plan, Zhang Dian participated in the whole process, he didn't need Han Gang to explain more, but Li Xian and Yan Da didn't know about it, and they needed to explain it in detail.

'Nope. Han Gang looked at Li Xian, he should know a little bit, after all, although the whole set of plans was not reported to the Son of Heaven, and the details were hidden a lot, but in the twists and turns reported by Han Gang and Zhang Dan, there were actually a lot of bits and pieces.

Otherwise, if Annan Jinglu was acting in Jiaozhi, the imperial court would have sent someone to stop it, how could it be that it would have turned a blind eye until now? The secret decree sent by Zhao Ji also said that it should be aimed at the long-term stability of the governor of Jiaozhi, and as for benevolence, righteousness and morality, it can be put aside for the time being, and it is too late to start talking about it when the Jiaozhi people are dead.

With the support of the Son of Heaven, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax, after all, there was an old thing that was recovering Suide and acting with a secret decree, or giving the Privy Council to Suizhou for three or four years.

However, Zhang Dian and Han Gang are both civil ministers, as long as there is no problem in the political affairs hall, the words of the Privy Council can be regarded as farts, just take care of the present.

Right now, we need the support of Li Xian and Yanda. And Li Xian upholds the will of the Son of Heaven and will not oppose it. As long as you can explain it to him.

"Put the seat of Jiaozhou in Haimen?"

Li Xianzhi said, now allowing the Xidong barbarians to act arbitrarily in Jiaozhou, wantonly looting and even killing, is not to throw all the Jiaozhou land that was finally defeated to these barbarians. Rather, as in the case of Yongzhou, many prefectures were established, but the imperial court had to retain a core piece of land in Jiaozhi to maintain the imperial court's control over Jiaozhi.

And these days, Li Xian has worked with Zhang Dian and Han Gang, and the general idea is that they hope to gradually strengthen their control over Jiaozhou in thirty or fifty years through subtle and imperceptible, and then annex this land and dispose of the Jiaozhi people who have been separated from China, which is for this purpose

The origin of this strategy is Xihe Road. Without Xihelu's successful experience over the years, the Son of Heaven would not have agreed so happily.

Just set up a Jiaozhou governance office in Haimen Town, Jiangkou, doesn't it mean that if the imperial court wants to send officials to govern Jiaozhou in the future, all of them will have to take the sea route?

"Because you don't have to worry about getting in the way by sea. Even if there were rebellions in Jiaozhou in the future, the imperial court could directly support Haimen by sea. If Li Jiqian, the party item [Yuan Hao's grandfather], rebelled, seized Yinxia, and besieged Lingzhou, the imperial court would have no way to rescue, so it could only sit back and watch Li Jiqian entrenched in Xingling. If a government office is set up in Thang Long Mansion and people are handed over to rebel in the future, the imperial court will have to go on another expedition from Yongzhou all the way over. Is there any convenience at the Sea Gate? ”

Zhang Dian then explained to Han Gang: "The Annan Protectorate of the Old Tang Dynasty was in Shenglong Mansion, which was called Jiaozhou City at that time, but after the Jiaoren rebelled, Jiaozhou City fell, and Haimen Town remained in Chinese hands, and then became Jiaozhou...... Ah, it should be called Xingjiaozhou. "This line is temporary.

"But the sea turmoil is treacherous, and if you have to take office on a ship in the future, it will inevitably be damaged."

Yan Da has had enough of the hardships of marching on the water, taking a boat on the rivers and lakes, he almost killed people, and when he reached the sea where the land could not be seen, even the world's famous brave generals shuddered when he thought about it. So he was very strange, Han Gang was also from Kansai, why didn't he see that he was afraid of water?

"Isn't there any damage if you go by road? Walking from Qinzhou to Haimen, walking along the coast, it is only two or three days of water. Besides, there are not so many snakes and insects on the sea! ”

Zhang Dian is a native of Pucheng, Fujian, and his knowledge of sea routes is certainly far above Yanda. The Zhang family is a noble family, and there are several houses engaged in maritime trade, and the money they make is not a few.

"In addition, it is to set up a government office in Haimen, open up a port, and even set up a city shipping department, and the imperial court, the barbarian department, and merchants are all profitable. I am not afraid that in the future, some people in the court will propose to give up Jiaozhou because of 'waste of money and food'. Han Gang said with a smile.

Yan Da and Li Xian both looked moved when they heard this, of course they knew that there were many people inside and outside the government and the opposition who were opposed to opening up the territory, thinking that the frontier land was useless, but 'wasting money and food in vain'.

For example, some strategic places in Guanxi are because the expenditure exceeds the taxes collected, such as Suide City in the past and Luowu City today, there are people who oppose it, and they have written to ask the imperial court to give it up or even give it back to Western Xia - those elders who are now entrenched in Xijing have many such ideas.

Both of them are dead in attacking Jiaozhi, and now Jiaozhi is recovering in the future, and this credit will be their capital in the court, but if Jiaozhou is abandoned, the so-called capital will become a weakness to be attacked. No matter how open-minded the two are, it is unbearable.

Hearing Han Gang talk about making the imperial court profitable in Jiaozhou—merchants, barbarians, or whatever, they didn't care—both of them suddenly became concentrated, leaned forward, and listened intently to what Han Gang was going to say next.

When Han Gang saw his words, he finally attracted the hearts of the two of them to fully devote themselves, and smiled slightly: "I guess every day, I know, I have also seen it these days, how fertile the land of Jiaozhi is, it is not a problem to double or triple harvest a year, and there is no need to cook carefully." In particular, the plains on both sides of the Fuliang River, once reclaimed, will be hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the annual grain production will be enough to produce tens of millions of stones. In the mountains of the upper reaches of the Fuliang River, there are countless giant trees and abundant production, all of which are urgently needed commercial goods in the north.

However, in order to transport these products, it is necessary to use the sea route, and it is absolutely impossible to use the land route. The mountains in the north of Jiaozhou have also been seen, such mountains, such roads, timber, grain, how can these goods be transported out? ”

"Food...... This is all it takes. Yan Da let out a long sigh, "But who will reclaim it, relying on the barbarian department is not safe." ”

"Can't you let them come?" Han Gang's eyes narrowed with a smile, looking at the sunshine, but the words that came out of his mouth were eerie, "Sending all the Jiaozhi people to them is not to let them have nothing to do from now on, they all have to be assigned. What can be done and what cannot be done, the imperial court will make arrangements, but it is not how to come. Ask them to grow food for the court. In the old years, the Jiaozhi people relied on the fertile land, and they did not care about crops, they were all planted and harvested, and it was no longer difficult to plant until they could fill their stomachs. And now that they have the brook cave to watch, can they be lazy and slippery again? ”

Zhang Dian said: "The toes of the Jiaozhi people are all wasted, except for cultivating the land, there is nothing else to do, of course the barbarians will not raise a group of people who eat white food for nothing, they will definitely let them be cattle and horses!" The Jiaozhi people take Han'er as a slave and a maid, and this time they have to pay it back for a lifetime, generation after generation, and they will never be able to turn over. ”

As soon as Zhang Dan's words stopped, Han Gang continued: "With so much manpower and so much land, it will be the granary of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. With the prestige of the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, no barbarian tribe dared to disobey, and it was easy to control the entire Jiaozhou with Haimen as a city. And as long as it is profitable, merchants will inevitably gather in Jiaozhou, Haimen Town does not need the imperial court to drive immigrants, and it will automatically attract Han'er to come here to reclaim, as time goes by, with a population of 10,000 or 20,000 households, can Jiaozhi still be surnamed Li instead of Zhao? Therefore, it is not a wild speculation to say that in thirty or fifty years, Jiaozhou will definitely belong to China. ”

Li Xian and Yan Da both fell into deep thought, Zhang Dian and Han Gang's plans seemed ruthless, but they were thinking about what would happen in the next few decades.

And Li Xianjiu has been in the palace for a long time, and he has also been to Xihe Road many times in the past two years, and he is more familiar with the economic development of Xihe Road than Yanda, who served in Qin Feng. Han Gang and Zhang Tun's plans are based on Xihe Road, and it should be Han Gang, not Zhang Tun, who makes suggestions.

In the past few years of Xihe Road, which family has not relied on trade to earn wealth that they would never dare to think of in the past? Hundreds of thousands of guan are not considered rich, and the patriarchs of several big clans are worth millions of guan, to say the least. Bao Shun of the Qingtang Dynasty - known as Yu Longke before the name change - was able to spend a lot of money in the Keju League, didn't he rely on the tea and horse trade, salt industry, cotton and rape planting, and then became rich?

For example, the Han family, the Wang family, and the Gao family, the wasteland that they occupied at the beginning that did not cost money, now the land price is close to the average level of Qinzhou, and the land alone is worth more than 100,000 yuan. Coupled with the production of land, as well as workshops and trading houses, they are all very rich. If it weren't for the involvement of the Queen Mother's family, coupled with the identities of Wang Shao and Han Gang, I don't know how many people would want to take a bite of this piece of fat.

Xihe Road, which has become rich with special products, is like a piece of honey that attracts ants, like a snowball, and thousands of people come to this land of dreams and legends every year with the intention of getting rich.

If Jiaozhou can be the same as Xihe Road, with special products and wealth, there will inevitably be people who will come here to make a fortune regardless of their lives. This is human nature, and it does not need to be strictly appointed by the imperial court.

Li Xian's heart is hot, if Jiaozhou can develop and become a land that the Emperor Song will not give up, the credit for recovering the old frontier of the Han and Tang Dynasties will naturally not be lost, and his position in the palace in the future will not always be pressed by Wang Zhongzheng, a lucky but incompetent companion.

"So what are we going to do?" Yan Da asked in a deep voice.

"Just keep an eye on the brutes and let them not be lazy and slippery." Han Gang said with a smile.

Yan Da looked at Zhang Dian with some doubts, Han Gang's words were a little unclear.

"First destroy Thang Long Mansion, tear down the city walls, burn down the houses, relocate the population, and build a new city in Haimen." Zhang Dian said coldly, this was the first step in his and Han Gang's plan, "Except for Haimen, Jiaozhi doesn't need other cities!" ”
