Tang Emperor Li Shimin said excitedly: "King Yong'an is really a strange person! Using food as a weapon, he was able to come up with such an unbelievable idea, so that the True Pearl Khan of the Xue Yantuo Tribe, I really don't have to worry anymore. ”

Li Xuan continued: "Since the end of the former Sui Dynasty, there have been wars in the Central Plains, and the wars have caused the people of the Central Plains to not survive for many years, and the population has dropped from 8.7 million households in the former Sui Emperor Wen period to 870,000 households today, with a total population of only 4 million. However, after my Tang Dynasty recovered the old places of Yunzhong and Hetao, the land area was nearly 8 million square kilometers, which is a real vast territory and sparsely populated land. Why didn't Your Majesty issue an edict to let the millions of people on the grassland, the people who Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan they could not afford to support move inward, enter our Datang, and expand the national strength of my Datang? As long as the people on the grassland are willing to come to my Datang, my Datang can provide them with a year's food supply for free, grain seeds, cultivated land and farm tools, and send capable officials and cadres to organize and teach them farming, so that my Datang will have a substantial increase in population and food, and my Datang can become richer and stronger as soon as possible. And I, Datang, provided food and cultivated land for the grassland people, which not only solved the problem of famine on the grassland, but also won the hearts of millions of grassland people. ”

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, said happily: "Then issue an edict to tell Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan that they can't solve the famine problem of the grassland people in their respective territories, and my Datang will solve it for them, and the grassland people in their respective territories can come to my Datang, and my Datang will provide every person who comes to the grassland with one year's grain, 500 acres of arable land per person, and grain and farm tools for the next year." ”

Soon, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin announced Li Xuan's plan at the Tang Dynasty Inner Court meeting. Everyone praised each other, everyone only thought of moving forward, and no one thought of taking a step back, this step back is wonderful. It's really a step back and the sky is wide!

For the Tang Dynasty army to retreat from the grassland, recover the original Han homeland in Yunzhong and Hetao, and secretly support Tuli, Qibi He Li and Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan to confront, all the important ministers expressed their support. It's just that over the internal migration of millions of Turkic people, there was a fierce debate among the important ministers.

Wei Zhengjin, the imperial historian, admonished: "Your Majesty, millions of Turkic people have moved inward. The minister thinks that it must not be! As the saying goes, "If it is not my race, its heart will be different", millions of grassland people move inward, once they have bad intentions and intend to rebel, it will be a big trouble for my Datang. ”

Liu Xun (ji) retorted: "Lord Wei's words are wrong! Now the Turkic Jieli Khan has been defeated by my Tang Dynasty, and the grassland people under his rule have taken refuge in my Tang Dynasty because of the famine. If I don't have mercy on the Tang Dynasty. Abandon it, then wouldn't my Datang want to block all the tribes and people who want to attach themselves to and take refuge in my Datang from my Datang country? In this way, how can my Tang Dynasty become the largest country in the world and attract all countries to come to court? ”

Wei Zheng said stubbornly: "Lord Liu, that's millions of Hu people on the grassland, and my people in the Tang Dynasty are only four million, if these Hu people rebel after entering the Central Plains, it will not only be a disaster for the entire Tang Dynasty, but a disaster for the entire Han nation." The Yongjia Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty. I don't think you know, right? ”

The Yongjia Rebellion, the clothes went south. Yongjia Rebellion. It occurred in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, because the Central Plains Dynasty has always allowed the ethnic minorities in the north and west to move inward, and as a result, by the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the number of ethnic minorities in the Central Plains exceeded that of the Han nationality, and due to the corruption and incompetence of the Western Jin Dynasty, the contradictions between the ethnic minorities and the Han nationality were intensified. As a result, the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed by ethnic minorities, Luoyang City, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, was breached, the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty was captured, and more than 30,000 princes, clansmen, officials and ordinary people were slaughtered. A large number of Han people moved south.

The impact of the Yongjia Rebellion led to hundreds of years of war in the Central Plains, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang (Jie), Di (di), Qiang (qiang), the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang (Qiang), the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang vitality was greatly injured, the Han nation was also killed and wounded, and the population was sharply reduced. In the end, the Han nation and the Xianbei in the Wuhu united and finally unified the Quartet during the time of Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty, and the various ethnic groups gradually merged.

Wei Zheng's words shocked the entire Tang Dynasty. A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. The bitter lesson of the Yongjia Rebellion made all the important ministers frown, and they did not agree to allow the grassland people to move inward.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Li Xuan also frowned, he didn't have the entire Tang Dynasty's inner court meeting would disagree with the grassland people's internal relocation and dependence, didn't this turn away the wealth sent to the door? Isn't this a closed country? How can this be done? As a later generation, Li Xuan deeply knows that the road of closing the country is not going through any way, and if you want Datang to become a strong country and a rich and powerful country, you must open your mind and open up.

So, Li Xuan slowly stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I reject the internal migration of millions of Turkic people, don't forget, it is millions of Hu people who are threatened by hunger, and the Hu people are scattered for the people, but they gather as soldiers, and millions of people gather together because of hunger, and take risks, that is a disaster that everyone is afraid of?" Not only will they make a mess of the entire grassland, but I, Datang, who is closest to the grassland, may not be spared. Besides, Lord Wei and all the adults are not wrong to take warning of the Yongjia Rebellion, but I want to say that Lord Wei and all the adults did not understand why there was such a disaster as the Yongjia Rebellion? The Central Plains Dynasty allowed the Hu people to move inward, which was not the source of the trouble, the real source of the chaos was that the officials of the Western Jin Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, did not treat the Hu people as human beings, and wantonly abused them, causing them to have resentment, which accumulated over time and eventually became a disaster. If I, Datang, can do the opposite, truly love the Hu people as one, and go hand in hand, I believe that millions of grassland people will be grateful to Dade, sincerely attached to Datang, and serve Datang. ”

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin and his important ministers were persuaded by Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan suggested that in Yunzhong, the homeland of the Han people, and in the land of Hetao, ten prefectures should be established to settle the grassland people who had migrated inward. Custody of Zhou, restraint, is the meaning of containment and connection, which means the relationship between the Tang Emperor and the four frontiers. Each state has a governor's office, and the post of governor is established to manage the internal migration of people in the state. I, Datang, dispatch capable officials and cadres to carry out collaborative management.

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin agreed to Li Xuan's proposal and revised: "I don't want to serve as the governor of these ten states, and let the dependent grassland people elect their tribal leaders to serve as them." The officials sent by my Datang can all be officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and they can teach the people to build houses and farm. (To be continued.) )
