Chapter 136: The Importance of Keeping Up with the Times

Wang Shouren's appearance surprised everyone, but Li Er was not surprised, as soon as he went to court, he said that this was Yanglin's recital, so Wang Shouren, who was born in Wangjia Village, would never allow others to say that it was bad, Li Er just lacked an introduction to help the ministers interpret Yanglin's 'Southern Xinjiang Pingmiao Theory'.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the report of the master of the horse should be allowed." Wang Shouren has seen many big scenes since Yanglin became famous in Wangjia Village, but he will not be stage frightened because he is in front of the court.

Li Er replied with interest, "Why is it allowed?" ”

Wang Shouren held up and said: "When the horse was in Wangjia Village, he often told us that the most important thing for any political and conceptual concept is to keep pace with the times, and not to take the ancients as a warning in everything, the reason why the dynasty will change is because people are changing, people are changing, then the policy of managing people will change, and the policy will not keep up with the changes in the actual demand, then the dynasty will have all kinds of problems, until it finally perishes, it is no longer the Yin Shang and Zhou periods, nor is it the Han Dynasty, now it is the Tang Dynasty, and the previous dynasty fought with a sword, Now we can use gunpowder, a year ago people used willow branches to pick their teeth, now people use toothbrushes and toothpaste to brush their teeth, a year ago we ate rough salt, but now we eat fine and delicious refined salt, everything in the Tang Dynasty is changing rapidly, so the policy must also change, we don't need to consider the defeat of those previous dynasties, we only need to consider how to do what is beneficial to the current court, how to manage, and what is beneficial to the future governance, how to do the people of all ethnic groups in the southern Xinjiang tribes, if they rashly carry out slaughter and purge, The consequence is eternal racial antagonism, endless conquests, tolerating them, absorbing them, and applying them, the benefits to Datang will be far greater than killing them, so. Majesty should first step out of tolerance, absorption, and application of them. ”

Wang Shouren's words are actually a small paragraph of Yanglin's Southern Xinjiang Pingmiao Theory, with his close relationship with Yanglin, Li Er can certainly be sure that there is a connection between them, and even with Yanglin's brain, he has long thought that the ministers in the court will disagree, and then Wang Shouren's words, Li Er took the example reported by Yanglin and then continued.

"That's right, my Datang wants to pass on the eternity. It is not possible to follow and make up for the policies of the previous dynasty in everything, because their policies eventually failed and perished, learn from the good parts of it, and be flexible is the policy of my future governance of the Tang Dynasty, for example, some time ago, the Heavenly Grant immediately played the imperial court, and the seventh ministry of the 'Ministry of Commerce' should be established in addition to the six ministries, and all the ministers at that time were opposed, thinking that this was inconsistent with the etiquette system. I also put it aside for the time being, but now that I think about it, I made a big mistake, and it has been two years since Zhenguan. The national commercial tax has reached as high as 4 million yuan, which is twice the land tax, and the small tax department has long been insufficient. It is conceivable that the omissions must be greatly saved, and all the omissions are the losses of the imperial court, and the Ministry of Commerce does not set them. The absence of a clear commercial tax law is a huge omission in the governance of our Tang Dynasty, which cannot be ignored, and we can see the importance of constantly changing the law from this point.

Let's talk about southern Xinjiang, although the horse is young, but dare to go to the Miao tribe camp alone to negotiate, the secret guard's report said, he led two hundred personal guards to Xiangxi, half a day but a dozen miles, what kind of combat power is his personal guard, I believe that everyone clearly saw in the report of the battle of Huainan, with such a small group of elite people, half a day to travel more than ten miles, it is conceivable that the road in southern Xinjiang is rugged, the imperial court or there are ministers who have experienced the land of southern Xinjiang, you may wish to tell the ministers about the situation in southern Xinjiang. ”

Li Er's eyes looked around the hall, and sure enough, a few officials from the Xianghu Lingnan Department walked out, and explained the situation in southern Xinjiang in a gossipy manner, the overall meaning is: the south is different from the north, the mountains are humid and hot, poisonous insects are numerous, and the terrain is dangerous, broken valleys, sinkholes are common, there are no full protective measures and familiar guides, a normal Han people walk in, you don't need others to attack you, you yourself will die quickly, blood-sucking locusts and ubiquitous poisonous snakes and beasts don't talk about it, A small red ant that can stun a person with a single bite, or a poisonous bee that can kill a person with a single sting can make people unguardable, where fighting is secondary and the dangerous environment is the most difficult to overcome.

The most feared thing about leading troops to fight is this environment, the soldiers did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died in a sinister environment, so when these people finished talking about the environment in southern Xinjiang, the generals died down, and no one shouted for war anymore.

After those people described, Li Er continued: "I'm afraid this is also the strategic policy formulated by that kid in Yanglin according to the actual situation after seeing the actual situation on the ground, a southern Xinjiang where millions of Miao people live is more beneficial to the imperial court than a southern Xinjiang with no people at all, at least with them, we can better develop the local area, and Sun Yushi also said that he would provoke an internal war between the small tribes of the Miao people to consume them, your vision is not broad enough!" It is a big drama to provoke all the Miao people to fight with Nanzhao and the big tribes of Jiaozhi.

In my opinion, the theory of Ping Miao in Southern Xinjiang is feasible and the most appropriate under the current situation, but there are still some that need to be added, such as focusing on the difficulty of future governance and strengthening control, the whole of Xiangxi should not be given to a Lan clan, isn't there many other Miao tribes in Xiangxi, and all Miao tribes with more than 10,000 people should be given a Tusi, so that they can all deal with the imperial court independently, so that it can be convenient for the imperial court to divide and control it in the future, gradually remove the Tusi, and establish a state capital.

In addition, there may be some other places that can benefit the imperial court, you Aiqing can discuss carefully and draw up some plans, let's not talk about sealing now, only how to seal. ”

Li Er directly set the tone for the next political direction, and several bigwigs who ate oranges seemed to be sealed by oranges, and they didn't say a word from beginning to end.

At sunset, a fast horse came out of the palace, Li Er knew that Yanglin was in a hurry now, so he sent an eight-hundred-mile urgent stagecoach, which was more than twice as fast as the water steamer that took the Yangtze River around the canal, and it only took more than ten days to rush from Chang'an to Yuezhou.

Two months of cultivation to Lan Ying's body completely good, the month of the month is the favorite season of the Miao people in Xiangxi, this is the season of hunting, Xiangxi rarely snows, Yuezhou is once or twice a year, but generally at the end of the month and the beginning of the month, his vague sunny forest shows that now is the best time for the Han people to enter the mountains, not only because of the cold weather, there are almost no poisonous insects on the mountain roads along the way, and the frost in the early morning can also suppress the miasma in the mountains, so as not to poison pedestrians.

"Patriarch Lan, do you know that my current identity is Qincha, representing the imperial court, in what capacity does your tribe invite me to take a trip to your deep mountains and old forests?" Yang Lin held a carrier pigeon in his hand, which was released from the Hibiscus Garden, and the information sent was basically the same as he expected, the imperial court agreed to divide the Tusi to allow the Miao people to be autonomous, but the land of Xiangxi can not only seal the Lan clan a toast, all the tribal patriarchs who reach more than 10,000 people are sealed a toast, according to the number of people, the grade of the toast is also different, and after the partition, a clear boundary must be drawn, and the Tusi has full control over the affairs within their respective boundaries, and there is no dispute between them.

This gap in the division was naturally deliberately left by Yang Lin to Li Er to supplement, as for the tribute standard discussed by the courtiers, in fact, looking at Li Er's reward list, it was completely a loss-making business, and Yang Lin thought that it was not necessary.

"Identity? We Miao people don't understand this curve, you just say, how can you be willing to go, as long as you are willing to go, I, Lan Ying, dare to promise that I will not let a jackal, tiger and leopard hurt your life, nor will I let any of you fall into the sinkhole. "Lan Ying does not belong to the wise type, he only inherited the courage of the Miao people, in fact, in the Miao tribe except for the Gu Master, the wisdom of ordinary people is not high, a nation that lives in the mountains all the year round, how high can you expect them to be.

"That's right, our emperor just agreed with my opinion, and decided to crown your father as the great Tusi of the Miao people in Xiangxi, the official is the same as the three products, and the same as the marquis, which is the same as my official position, which is greater than the history of the Yuezhou Thorn, and the title of this big toast is hereditary, that is to say, after your father dies of old age, you are the big toast, and after you die of old age, your son is the big toast, and the big toast is absolutely in charge of the life and death of the people in his territory, not only does he not need to pay tribute to the imperial court, what rebellion happened, You can also ask the imperial court to send troops to help you suppress it, in addition, Tusi's family can also enjoy the hospitality of all the post houses in the Tang Dynasty for free, and when you go to the capital Chang'an, there are people who take care of your food and accommodation, just like you are now in Yuezhou City, and you, like us, when there is a rebellion on our side, you also have to send troops to help, open our merchants to communicate with you for trade, organize production, if the officials of the imperial court go to your place, you also have to entertain us to eat and live, and treat each other friendly, do you think this is done? Yang Lin said in a more easy-to-understand way.

"Hey, it's that the court wants to worship with our tribe, make brothers, share blessings and difficulties, this doesn't need my father's consent, I can count it if I say it, when will the court worship us, if you worship your brother, you will go." Lan Ying smiled heartily.

"Well, that's what it means! Wait two more days, I still have to prepare some meeting gifts for the new brothers in the imperial court, and then I will bother you to lead the way. Yang Lin said a little hazy.

"Gifts, wahahaha, don't need too much, just give me a few hundred jars of good wine, and beef jerky, milk candy, little phoenix likes to eat it the most, only a few hundred catties are enough, you have to prepare more refined salt for me, the food cooked by this thing is much better than the salt cooked with sand in our tribe, and the sour thing called vinegar"

As soon as he talked about the gifts, Lan Ying began to go on endlessly, Yang Lin sat on the deck with a black line and listened to him nagging, this brother really didn't treat himself as an outsider. (To be continued......)
