82_82988The cabinet ministers of the small study room knelt on the ground, crowded Li Jie and had no place, listening to their repeated narration Li Jie was also a head and two big, and it took a long time before he flicked his sleeves depressedly and shouted: "You are not here to suggest, you are here to force the palace!"

"Don't dare!"

These words are a bit heavy, and Di Renjie hurriedly lowered his head and slammed his head on the ground, explaining respectfully. The update is the fastest and the fastest to the eye

After all, the king of Min is not a domineering king who can't listen to advice, in Mesopotamia, the former capital of the Persian Empire, Ctesiphon, Li Jie also accepted the simplicity of Xu Jingzong and others no longer expanding, after kowtowing and clarifying, Di Renjie, who has the best eloquence, straightened his waist with a wat board, and his eyes were blazing and respectful.

"Your Highness, you are already great enough, the huge Fujian Kingdom, who does not admire your domineering and majestic style of opening up the world, in terms of cultural governance and martial arts, you have surpassed the first emperor, Your Highness, why bother to spend your youth in these wild and barren places, why not accept the submission of Belus, turn the war into jade silk, and return to Beijing to enjoy this beautiful country?"

Full of sincerity, Di Renjie gestured with his hands, as if he wanted to draw a picture of imperial luxury to tempt Li Jie, but Li Jie, who listened to it, smiled bitterly, and before he could interject, the impatient Laiji who was waiting in the back jumped out again, and took out a thick account book from his sleeve.

"Your Highness has always paid attention to the interests of the country! So the minister calculated an account for His Highness. ”

As he spoke, Laiji opened the bill he had made along the way, and shook his head with his beard and chanted.

"From the new Han Valley into Khorasan, the ministers checked the land books of the local government offices, and now the fields under the control of the Khorasan Kingdom, that is, the Fujian State have shrunk to 300,000 hectares, and most of them are barren lower fields, and the annual production of grain and wheat is only about one million stones, which is not enough to feed the Khorasan nobles and garrisons, and the annual tax received by the Fujian State from the ports along the Persian Gulf coast is about seven million yuan, and the annual response to the Khorasan war and the support of the army, the official expenditure needs nine million yuan, and the grain is one million stones."

"Around this, every year from the government control to the flow of more than 100,000 people, now the entire Khorasan rule is close to collapse, the Persians here do not obey the control, do not pass the king, brave and ruthless, the minister calculated, if you want to build Khorasan to the state and county under the rule of the Min State, at least 300,000 troops need to be stationed, and the construction of the city, the construction of officials at all levels, the selection of officials, the construction of the palace to educate the people need to invest manpower and material resources, money, food and materials are countless! Invest time in decades. ”

"In the heyday of Khorasan, the fertile land was only about one million tons, and after the people consumed it, the grain produced was only about one million stones, which was several times smaller than the input."

"But if you accept Belus's proposal and make him the lord of Khorasan, the southern port will still pay seven million guan in taxes for His Highness every year, and now in the vast hinterland of Khorasan, which is losing money in the north, Belus will also provide His Highness with more than ten million guan of asset wealth."

He is worthy of being a famous housekeeper of Fujian, how every land is, how the population is, and how the production is, all of which he recorded in detail in the account book one by one, and after closing the account book, Lai Ji respectfully put his hands on the top of his head and handed it to Li Jie.

Just reluctantly took over the account book, but this Wang Xuance came to the ability again.

"When His Royal Highness attacked Khorasan and attacked the Arab Empire, Byzantium was a subject country of Fujian, and the subject country was in trouble, and the suzerainty should be rescued, on the other hand, the Arab Empire was indeed too strong, and the two powers could not coexist, and heaven and earth were reasonable, but Your Highness, now these prerequisites do not exist at all."

"Byzantium betrayed us, Fujian has no morality except hatred for it, although the Arab Empire defeated us, but now the Arab Empire is also divided, Mo Nan Arabia and Mecca Arabia because of the struggle for Mesopotamia is very unpleasant, Fujian rebel Hou Jie is still trying his best to attack Byzantium in order to consolidate his position, the strong Arab Empire has become yesterday's yellow flower."

"If Your Highness believes in the minister, please hand over Khorasan to the minister, and in two years, the minister can use these eastern tribes to build a solid barrier for the Min State, and ensure that the western territory of the Min State will not move a single sword or soldier within thirty years."

"Even if His Highness is not willing to accept the defeat of the Arab Empire, in five years, he will be off"

Conquest does not necessarily have actual occupation, for example, the Tang Dynasty controls the vast territory in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is generally only a fetter rule, and several major protectorates manage a small number of troops to manage a tribal leader, and the tribe is completely autonomous within the tribe, which is also the normal state of the Tang Dynasty in dealing with foreign affairs.

Wang Xuance was originally a diplomat, and he admired Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who were invincible figures like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who fought with their incorruptible tongues.

Regardless of politics, economy, and military, giving up Khorasan in three aspects seems to be beneficial to the Fujian State, kneeling on the ground, several prime ministers are also looking at the little stars excitedly waiting for the moment when Li Jie nodded from the goodness.

stared at them for a long time, but unfortunately, Li Jie shook his head unexpectedly.

"No way!"

"Why?" didn't care about the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, Lai Ji really couldn't help but shout loudly, and Wang Xuance continued to persuade him even more eagerly: "Your Highness, don't waste the country's strength in vain because you are brave and ruthless!" Khorasan is now like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, just when the king of Isiai asked to withdraw the domain, why not comply with the mandate of heaven to separate the flesh and bones, so that the Fujian country can not only eat the sweetness of chicken, but also avoid the trouble of stripping bones! ”

"Yes, Your Highness, Qin Tianjian has come to report that they have chosen a location to build an imperial mausoleum for His Highness, and the Ministry of Rites and all the families are willing to honor His Highness and respect His Highness as the emperor!"

"The Ministry of Household is willing to allocate funds for the construction of a summer palace for His Highness in the Himalayas."

Comparing his sleeves, Di Renjie on the side even used the trick of temptation, but unfortunately under the persuasion of so many important ministers, this time Li Jie didn't even change the twist flowers, and still shook his head stubbornly.

"Lone wants this Khorasan!"

These courtiers are really out of line.

Li Shimin was so obsessed with attacking Goguryeo, on the one hand, it was indeed out of consideration for the safety of the Tang Dynasty, afraid that this land would have another Xianbei, and on the other hand, he hoped to flaunt himself and surpass the previous dynasty.

And even if Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, is not stingy with himself, in his later years, he is a wide cultivation palace, screening the world's beautiful women to enrich the palace, Li Zhi's favored Xu Jieyu Xu Ying almost became Li Shimin's little wife at that time, but the master they served was good, built the Jingshi City, the palace was the last to be built, except for this place The King of Min has no other palace, and he lives in the barracks wherever he goes.

After his death, as soon as Li Shimin ascended the throne, the grand Zhaoling project was built, and now the scale of the Qianling built by Li Zhi is not less than that of the Zhaoling, with 200,000 migrant workers every year, and the consumption of money and materials is not much, this is good, many ministers are to accompany the burial of the imperial tomb as the goal, and now the shadow of the imperial tomb is not there.

As for honorific titles? Every emperor is willing to mythologize himself, such as Gaozong Li Zhi let the ministers honor themselves as the emperor, Wu Zetian is the honorific title of the Holy Mother of God, Tang Xuanzong added the honorific title six times for his lifetime, and the emperors after the Tang Dynasty, the quasi-title is pursued unabated, and the honorific titles of the emperors of the Song Dynasty have been lengthened to twenty-four characters.

But this master they serve? Until now, he still holds the title of King Min canonized during the Tang Taizong period, although this throne has changed over time and cannot be said in the same day.

doesn't enjoy it, doesn't embrace the pleasure brought by power, and works hard to develop these wild places like an ascetic, whether it is a prime minister such as Wang Xuance, Wang Fangyi, or the Jiupin Sesame Official at the bottom, they can't figure out what their master is trying to do.

"Your Highness, what do you want?"

Under the failure of the admonition, Xu Jingzong, the old slippery head hiding at the end, couldn't help but shout, not wanting this sentence, which made Li Jie's eyes suddenly light up.

"The world of loneliness!"

"Haven't Your Highness already got it?"

This sentence made several prime ministers dumbfounded, and Xu Jingzong asked in a daze.

If it is said that in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jie has the opportunity to abolish the emperor in Chang'an, but he gave up, if it is said that the world of Fujian is not firmly in the hands of Li Jie now?

A strange smile bloomed at the corner of Li Jie's mouth, and it seemed that his eyes were colder, Li Jie looked at his ministers and his absolute supporters with a sharp gaze, and asked in a loud voice.

"What do you think is the world?"

"The ...... of the World"

Talking about the righteousness of the world all day long, but when you really ask, several of the smartest people in the world can't help but be dumbfounded, this question is too broad, and too taboo, everyone has their own unique concept of the world, but if you really want to say, you can't say it.

Xi Junmai, who has always been the most honest and wooden, replied: "Where the King of Min orders, the place controlled by the Fujian Imperial Court is the world!"

This answer is the most in line with political needs, but he didn't want Li Jie to veto it, so he shook his head with a smile.

"No, this is just Fujian, not the world."

Seeing that the other ministers were about to talk and stopped, Li Jie simply stopped going around in circles, and simply spread his hands and smiled.

"Lone believes that the world is not a surname and a country, but all around us!"

"The language we speak, the poems and books we read, the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith we advocate, the Confucian concept, and even our hair accessories, our clothing, our life, our habits, is the world, the world is not far away, it is all around us!"

This answer made a group of courtiers even more confused, and Xu Jingzong exclaimed again.

"Didn't we get that?"

"Huh, got?"

This time, Li Jie's smile turned into a sneer......
