With the existence of Sayuri's light bulb, Du He and Chang Le'an spent the night separately. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Early the next morning, Du He got up early, put on the national uniform, and participated in the morning court of this day.

This identity is different, and the treatment is naturally different.

As the youngest grandfather of the Tang Dynasty, who can't see that Du He is walking on a prosperous road, and all kinds of greetings are heard on the road, and even those ministers who rarely interact with him will chat with him.

Today's court meeting is still aimed at the economy of the Tang Dynasty.

Although it did not take long, the military expenses of the 300,000 troops before and after, as well as the reward after the victory, were all astronomical sums. After these two battles,

The Tang Dynasty undoubtedly needed a period of recuperation.

How to recuperate and how to recover as soon as possible has become the most important key.

In view of this, the elites in the court showed their strengths and put forward various opinions according to their own knowledge, and then Li Shimin made a final decision.

Du He listened carefully while summing up the experience of the Tang Dynasty in history and considering a serious problem.

After his summary, the Tang Dynasty has been in a stage of vigorous development under the governance of Li Shimin.

But there have always been two serious problems, first, population. In ancient times, the population was the primary wealth and the primary productive force, whether it was the economy or agriculture, as long as the population was insufficient, it would be difficult to increase the output.

People are not pigs, it is impossible to live a litter, this problem wants to be solved, it can only rely on time, even if you use various means to promote fertility, you need to wait for 18 years, after the child becomes an adult, to reap the fruit.

This problem cannot be solved by human beings, and it will take decades of development to improve.

Another serious problem is the control over the exploitation of the seized territories.

Throughout the ages, the largest dynasty in the territory was the Han and Tang dynasties. But in all fairness, this control,

It's more of a symbol, a symbol of expansion, than a real territory.

For example, the capital of the Han Dynasty and the capital of the Tang Dynasty, usually the army of the Han and Tang dynasties, after conquering this area, left the army to establish a capital protection house, doing the sense of rule, in fact, it is still to the residents of this area, take a laissez-faire attitude, and do not really expect these places to bring any benefits to the dynasty. Therefore, if there is any turmoil in the court, these are often lost, and there is no centripetal force and cohesion at all.

Duhe summed up some experience and found that the real reason is the lack of effective and reasonable control of development. In other words, the Han and Tang dynasties did not regard these defeated territories as their own territory at all, and the people in the territory did not regard them as their own people, but regarded him as a glory, a supreme glory.

These areas occupied by the Han and Tang dynasties only tend to be powerful, and they have no intention of attaching themselves, as long as they have the opportunity, they will break away from the control system, without the slightest memory.

"I have some views on the development of the economy" Seeing that the ministers were almost discussed, Du He's thoughts were almost sorted out, and he stood up and said.

As soon as Du He's words fell, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces immediately fell silent, and even the sound of wheezing could be heard.

The ministers who were whispering to each other closed their mouths one by one, waiting for Du Ho's shocking words.

Even Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top, saw Du He coming out of the ranks, his eyes lit up, and he looked forward to it.

Only Du He is a little inexplicable, it seems that his son is the prime minister of the court, and he doesn't have such a grand treatment when he speaks......

In fact, this is not to blame the ministers for being too cautious, but Du He's performance, which makes them have to be cautious.

Du He's true talent and learning, only he knows. He does have some talent in military affairs,

But he doesn't have much ability in government affairs. Not to mention two hundred and five, there is still a huge gap compared with these capable ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Often when they discuss in depth, Du He can't interject, they are all listening, being a wooden man.

But as soon as he speaks, it is a great truth summed up on the basis of historical experience, and it is a major matter that benefits the future and the society will benefit. What the Maritime Silk Road, what sweet potatoes promoted, what two-season rice, etc., all prove Du He's "extraordinary" vision and rare ability to govern the world.

Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty felt that Du He was a person who had become a blockbuster if he did not speak, and his opening of his mouth drove all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and they all waited to see what kind of amazing words he would spit out.

Du He said: "The territory of my Tang Dynasty is far wider than that of previous dynasties, and each place has its own characteristics because of the difference in water and soil. For example, agriculture in the south, textile industry in Shudi, salt industry and animal husbandry in Qinghai all have their own characteristics. After thousands of years of development, the economic trend of the Central Plains region has basically been finalized, and it has been reasonably and effectively developed. As Wei Xiang said, vigorously develop ceramics,

Textile industry. Wei Xiang summed up the economic trend of the Tang Dynasty and found that ceramics and silk fabrics sell well in foreign lands, and they are particularly popular in the far West. Focusing on this industry, making every effort to open up the ceramics and textile trade with the West, and accelerating the economy of the DPRK, this proposal is very good, but I take the liberty of asking, is the effect really great? โ€

He asked himself and answered: "I don't think that my Datang ceramics and textile industries have a certain area xing, such as Shu brocade, Shu brocade case is prosperous, fine weaving, with sรจ elegant, unique, is a kind of colorful brocade with national characteristics and local style, can be described as a unique in the world." Now the development of Shuzhong, the textile industry is the mainstay, even in how to develop the textile industry in Shuzhong, the results are limited. The same goes for porcelain, which has a certain area xing. In addition, there is a very serious problem here, which is many and complex. Ceramics, textiles are fine work slowly, pay attention to technology, a needle and a thread, each step, are not in a hurry, once the number is more, the competition is fierce, but it will make the local people give up the quality for the most profit, in addition to some people who are not at home in the craft and technology from the troubled waters, will make the quality decline sharply, but the gains outweigh the losses. Wei Xiang's proposal can make my Datang profitable, but the extent of profit is limited. โ€

Wei Zheng was upright and did not have any displeasure, and nodded, which he really did not take into account.

"Then little Du Aiqing means to develop places that we haven't covered yet?" Li Shimin's mind was alert, and as soon as his mind changed, he understood the intention of Du He's words, and he broke through the sky with one word.

Du He praised: "Your Majesty's quick thinking is admirable.

Chen's expedition to the south, found that Nanzhao contains rich copper ore, tin ore and other sรจ metal ores, the reserves in the area I am better than my Datang No. 1 copper mine, tin ore, if after reasonable development, it will be an incomparably huge profit. There is also Tibet, the territory of Tibet also contains huge mineral resources, they have a special climate, especially rich grapes, you can pay attention to it, make wine, develop the wine industry, is also an income. โ€

When Du He said this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, wine was his favorite, and there were many jars of wine he made himself in the palace cellar.

Du He continued: "I don't know much about Goguryeo in the northwest. However, I have also heard that the Changbai Mountain there is a natural treasure, and the mountain is rich in resources. Since Nanzhao, Tubo, and Goguryeo are already the territory of our Tang Dynasty, and the subjects in the territory are all the people of our Tang Dynasty, why don't we develop these places and contribute to our Tang Dynasty? Chen felt that the profits from opening up these undeveloped places would be far better than continuing to develop them in the already developed places. โ€

These materials were discovered when Du He was laying down the Southern Zhao and Tubo and sorting out the government affairs of the two countries. There are incomparably rich minerals hidden under Nanzhao, but they don't know how to develop them, and they have been abandoned.

The plan is ready, but before it has been officially implemented, it has been attacked by Duhe, and the plan...

The book happened to fall into Duhe's hands.

Du He, who served in Shangshu Province, had an understanding of the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and discovered that the undeveloped mining mines of Nanzhao were above the known No. 1 copper mine in the Tang Dynasty.

Du He's words made the Tang Dynasty silent.

Chu Suiliang said: "What this Lord Xiao Du said is not unreasonable, but the most important point is that they are not the real people of the Tang Dynasty, whether they are in the heart, we can't confirm it, if Tubo, Nanzhao, and Goguryeo are developed, they are rich and strong, and they have rebelled, so what should we do?" โ€

Chu Suiliang's remarks are to the most critical point, in fact, the Han and Tang dynasties are not without capable people, and they may not be able to see how much benefit they will gain from developing these lands.

The key lies in the resistance in the heart, the distrust of the people who are not orthodox Han people. Afraid of thankless work, helping them develop is raising tigers.

Du He also thought about this matter, nodded and said: "Lord Chu's concerns are not unreasonable, but I have a question, just let them ignore it, can I ensure that they will serve my Datang wholeheartedly in the future?" I think that as long as their lives are better and their living conditions improve, they will know that my Datang is good and will not be upset. The development of Nanzhao, Tubo, and Goguryeo may make these three places rich, but because of the tax relationship, the most profitable is still my Datang. They are rich, our Datang is richer, and if I Datang can destroy them for the first time, I can destroy them for the second time.

Chen thinks that if you want to really make ** and Yunnan become the territory of my Datang, there should not be any specialization, treat them as the people of my Datang, and treat them equally, someone will definitely understand.

Didn't Mencius have a sentence that said, "The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart: the king regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the king as a countryman: the king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy, and the monarch and the minister are still like this, let alone the people?" โ€

When Du He said this, he remembered the stupid policy of the Celestial Empire, which treats other people as if they were fathers and mothers, but how many people are really in their hearts? Specialization not only does not allow them to return to their hearts, but even their own people follow suit.

You can't ignore it, and you can't be too partial: the best thing to do is to treat everyone equally, and get rid of those who resist partiality, and the remaining obedient nature can truly integrate into the nation.
