Li Shimin really laughed so much that his back molars were exposed, such a method was simply too ruthless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This makes it possible to rule the area with little to no military expending. There is no way to support the local powerful faction and worry that the local powerful faction will take the opportunity to secede, and it can also avoid the result that the direct rule costs too much and makes the Tang Dynasty unbearable.

"Shi Bufan, this method is better than a million male soldiers! In the future, I will expand the territory of Datang, but there will hardly be too many sacrifices. There is no concern even about the capriciousness of the locality, such a method is simply ...... It's just ......" Li Shimin didn't know how to describe it.

Li Shimin knew very well that the most difficult thing when opening up territory was not to fight a military war, but to deal with it after the fact. How many territories have been conquered by the Chinese dynasties, starting from the Han Dynasty, the nomads in the north have been expelled to Mobei several times, but in the end the Central Plains Dynasty is untenable. Because the life of the grassland is very different, the different living habits are an important factor in the emergence of ethnic groups.

As for letting the Han people go to nomadism, I really don't know who came up with such a stupid solution, which is too unrealistic. Once the Han people are allowed to go to nomadism, then in the end, the nomadic Han and the farming Han will gradually split into two ethnic groups, this is absolutely certain. Culture is certainly an important bond of a nation, but the way of life cannot be erased casually. It is impossible for two ethnic groups with very different or even completely different lifestyles to become a single nation.

Even if the Han people were forced to go to nomadism, in the end it would only result in two peoples who also spoke Chinese, and in fact they were divided. The difference in living habits is an important barrier to domination. Shi Bufan does not touch the most basic living habits of the local people, so that it can be gradually changed. If the living habits of the local people at the bottom are not touched, then they will not follow those elites to oppose the Tang Dynasty. Because whoever rules is not rule, this is true of any nation in ancient times, as long as they do not change their habits and do not kill them, the vast majority of them will also accept the rule.

"Your Majesty, listen to me continue to finish my plan. We used the Togofu system to force the locals to join the Togofu, and then the south became our area of control. We can attack from the ******** of Champa to the direction of the body. Finally, from the two sides of Jiannan Province and the southern capital of the palace, the Tibetan plateau was attacked. ”

"At the same time, the southern prefectures will also use the navy to explore overseas, as a place for us to cultivate grain and collect minerals. We can hire indigenous people from the local area to mine for us. In this way we have a large amount of ore to arm a strong army. ”

"After the destruction of Tibet, we can begin to solve the situation in the Western Regions as we know it so far. We can solve the problem of the Far East relative to the Westerners, and adopt the system of the metropolitan protectorate to control the local area, so as to maintain stability. ”

"This process will be completed in the next 20 to 30 years. As for whether the Middle East can be resolved within 30 years, that is beyond my grasp. ”

Shi Bufan is actually a big pie drawn by Li Shimin, but his own heart is also sure of this plan. For governance, Shi Bufan has an understanding, that is, the problem of money. As long as the money can be solved, it is not a problem for the most part. As long as there is enough money, a huge part of the government's plans can be accomplished. As long as there is money, the speed of development for any government is astonishing. Money can make ghosts grind, and as long as you have money, you can build a strong army. As long as there are enough funds, it will not be too much exploitation with the people, which will be unacceptable to the people. As long as there is money, most of the policies can be implemented.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was unable to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, so it had to grant military power to local wealthy clans, which caused the combination of financial power and military power to start the troubled times. The same was true of the Tang Dynasty, after the decentralization of financial power and the combination of military power, the troubled times began. The Ming Dynasty was unable to suppress Li Zicheng because it did not have enough wealth to collapse its army. The same was true of the Qing Dynasty, and the same was true of the Republic of China. The fall of the three proudest dynasties in China, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, was actually started by the collapse of finances, which is enough to be a warning.

Instead of attaching importance to military power, it is better to attach importance to financial power, and military power without financial power is just a paper tiger. As long as Shi Bufan is given financial power, then Bufan will be able to get a lot of money to maintain this plan. Therefore, as long as Shi Bufan has financial power, he is confident that he can raise enough funds to carry out this plan, and complete this plan according to the time, and finally the whole of East Asia can be swallowed.

"Your Majesty, according to this plan, I can guarantee that it can be done. As long as the emperor is willing to trust me, I can completely achieve this plan and achieve great things for my Datang. Strive to make the emperor the first emperor of China in his lifetime, eternal and eternal, I dare not say that there is absolutely no one behind, but it is absolutely unprecedented! Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin saw this plan, if it was really completed in his lifetime, then Li Shimin thought that he had never walked in this world in vain. As a person who has been detached from low-level interests, as an emperor has long been detached from all kinds of low-level interests, what he pursues is to realize his own ideals and realize the value of his life.

This plan, which is enough to make him Qianqiu's No. 1 business, is simply too appetizing for him.

"It takes a lot of money to do such a huge cause, right?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin said it so sharply, obviously thinking that this is very expensive, and this is probably very expensive, because these things are definitely not a small amount.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is very expensive. If you don't have enough wealth, you can't form an army to fight, and you can't develop a naval army. The cost of the water army is many times that of the army, so this is very expensive. However, I can spend money, but I can also make money, it depends on whether the emperor trusts me. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan's display is clearly telling Li Shimin, that is, Shi Bufan wants to grasp financial power and wants to master greater financial power. If you want to become this great first emperor of the ages, you must have money. And Shi Bufan is a person who can make money, but if you want Shi Bufan to make money, you must also give him financial power. If you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses graze, and you want Shi Bufan to make money, but you also need to let Shi Bufan have more financial power. If you don't have financial power, you won't get more money at that time.

Li Shimin was silent, because of course he knew the problem. If Shi Bufan is granted too much financial power, will he raise Shi Bufan into a gluttonous beast in the future? If such a huge financial power is really granted to Shi Bufan, then in the next twenty or thirty years, it will definitely be enough to make Shi Bufan's power soar, and he may even become a gluttonous monster.

If for this great cause, Shi Bufan has become a huge gluttonous monster behind him, will this be a big tail? This is also what Li Shimin is most worried about. Once Shi Bufan swells up rapidly by mastering financial power, it will not be a good thing for Li Tang! For the sake of his own great cause, he fattened a gluttonous beast, and what the consequences of this would be are very difficult to predict.

"Imperial ......" Fang Xuanling wanted to come out to stop him, but he was pulled by Du Ruhui's sleeve.

Du Ruhui shook his head and motioned to Fang Xuanling not to come out. Because this kind of thing can only be decided by Li Shimin himself, in fact, this kind of thing is very difficult to choose. Because Du Ruhui accurately judged it, no matter which one Li Shimin chooses, Li Shimin will regret it in the end. If you choose to curb Shi Bufan's grasp of financial power, avoid the rise of a gluttonous monster. When Li Shimin is old, he will definitely regret why he didn't choose to become an emperor of the ages.

But after becoming the first emperor of the ages, there will also be a political gluttonous beast, which Li Shimin will inevitably regret. So this is the same as choosing love or bread when you get married, no matter which one you choose, you will regret it. When you can't have both, you will regret either choice.

This kind of thing is still judged by the emperor himself, and as a courtier, don't just interject. Once he interjected, Li Shimin, who regretted it at that time, would inevitably put this responsibility on to his courtiers. Once Fang Xuanling interjects, Li Shimin will regret it when he is old, and he will hate Fang Xuanling. At that time, even if Fang Xuanling dies, Li Shimin's affection for the Fang family will disappear.

Don't try to intervene in this kind of thing easily, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. However, Du Ruhui saw Li Shimin's difficult choice, and suddenly had an idea.

"Shi Bufan, you are nine years younger than the emperor, aren't you?" Du Ruhui suddenly asked inexplicably.

Shi Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, I am only nine years younger than the emperor, in fact, it is okay to say that it is a generation." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a moment and seemed to understand something. After a long while, Li Shimin finally made a decision.

"Alright, I've agreed, and everything will go according to your plan." Li Shimin said.

"Thank you for your trust!" Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan left quickly, Li Jing glanced at Shi Bufan, and left without saying anything. But Fang Du and the others were a little crooked, as if they were discussing something.

"Du Keming, what were you doing just now, actually helping him? What the hell are you thinking? Don't you think this situation is chaotic enough? Fang Xuanling asked.

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "It is inevitable that the cold family will become a faction. Even if there is no time for Bufan, there will be Li Bufan and Zhang Bufan, can we stop it? The emperor will inevitably support the Hanmen, this is inevitable, and we can't stop it. ”

"Then you did this, didn't you make them gluttonous monsters in the future? Can even the emperor rest assured? Fang Xuanling asked.

Du Ruhui replied: "The emperor is not very relieved, but I have reassured him." Because I told the emperor that Shi Bufan is only nine years younger than the emperor, in fact, it can be said that it is a generation. The nine-year-old gap is actually not too big. Maybe, to put it mildly, maybe the extraordinary hia walked in front of the emperor! ”

"If Shi Bufan is ahead of the emperor, then what is there to worry about? When people go to tea and cool, when the time comes, others will not have the ability to make money as he does, and he will not be able to be the leader, so naturally there will be no problem. ”

Fang Xuanling asked in a low voice: "To put it mildly, what if Shi Bufan survived the emperor?" ”

"So what's there to worry about? The age difference between them is not nine years, which is not too big. If the emperor can really become the emperor of the ages, as Shi Bufan said. Then the prestige of such an emperor will be incomparable, and no one in the world will dare to disobey. After all, Shi Bufan is just a courtier, what else can he do? As a courtier, with merit, first of all, the emperor's. What's more, this world was laid down by the emperor, and the emperor's prestige was already great. As an emperor, he naturally has an advantage, and the credit of the courtiers is first of all the credit of the emperor, so no matter how great the prestige is, seventy percent of the credit and prestige will be taken by the emperor. When the time comes, the more extraordinary things he does, the more the emperor will actually enjoy it. This natural difference between monarchs and ministers is not so easy to overcome. ”

"What's more, can Shi Bufan still usurp the throne? He doesn't have this ability, now that the Tang Dynasty has just opened the country and the world has just been peaceful, it is impossible for us to usurp the throne within twenty or thirty years. He didn't have this opportunity, and the sky didn't bless him. So even if he survived the emperor, then he himself would not have a long life. In the case that the days are not long, and the time is not available, how will he choose? I'm afraid that at his age, he won't have any thoughts of taking risks, so it's better to choose to be more stable. ”

"In a peaceful and prosperous world, there is no chance. So since Shi Bufan and the emperor are of the same generation, it is not as dangerous as imagined. Twenty or thirty years later, Shi Bufan should not say forty or fifty, then what he should consider at this age is the family inheritance, and what he should consider is to keep the wealth he has gained, not to risk which way he wants to go. Further abyss, stench for 10,000 years. Take a step back and enjoy the glory and wealth endlessly, which one do you think he will choose? ”

"Shi Bufan is proficient in calculation, so naturally he would not do such a stupid thing. So when the emperor knew that Shi Bufan was only nine years younger than him, in fact, it was just a generation, so he was also relieved. The emperor is not the kind of mediocre gentleman who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of his wife, but a real generation of heroes. If he can't even control the extraordinary, will he be able to get to where he is today? Therefore, the worries just now are just unfounded. Anyway, sooner or later, the cold door will be supported by the emperor, so instead of stopping it, we might as well take the initiative to sell it and support him. ”

Fang Xuanling exclaimed: "Du Keming, are you crazy? ”
