Wang Xuance and Qiu Xinggong were sent by Li Shimin to Linyi State, and then used various means to force that Linyi State to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. After the formation of the internal vassal states and the transformation of these internal vassal states into the feudal states, that is, the establishment of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, and then the special thing to exploit the people there. And Jingwen didn't have too many doubts about whether Wang Xuance could complete it, after all, Wang Xuance's eloquence was very good, and it wouldn't change much if he became a vassal country, but he just needed some tribute. As for exploitation, it is also necessary to come step by step, and then let them continue to increase layer by layer, and finally be able to obtain benefits for Datang. As for this kind of exploitation, the wealth that the people have worked so hard to obtain has been exploited by the Tang Dynasty.

And Datang is very envious of the grain of Linyi Kingdom. Because the country of Linyi is also the area of Vietnam, it is a good place to produce grain in later generations. Once the grain is exploited by the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, it will be transported to Jiangnan to support the development of Jiangnan. In the future, there will be no need to transport grain from Jiangbei, and the grain in the area of Guangzhou will be transported by the Metropolitan Protectorate of Annan, and it will be transported by sea, so as to avoid a lot of losses on the way. This is also a way to develop shipping, and Wang Xuance used to be the long history of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, so there should be a lot of relationships.

"Lord Jingwen, this time I went to Linyi Country, count me as one. I also want to go to Linyi with Lord Wang and General Qiu Xinggong, and it is my honor to be able to declare the power of the Tang Dynasty to foreign countries. Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Jingwen to help us with a few kind words, so that we are willing to stay and defend the country. A seven-rank petty official said to Jingwen.

Jingwen saw that as soon as he got home, someone came over to ask for an official, and he was really speechless in his heart. For these guys, Jingwen really has nothing to say, these guys are really well-informed. Wang Xuance had just been identified as an envoy, and someone wanted to join the envoy group immediately. And everyone knows that the people of this envoy group will form the Metropolitan Protectorate of Annam in the future. As a member of the first team. And the nature of this Annam metropolitan protectorate has been spread, that is, to extort tribute from the local people, and to be able to get a commission. Whoever does not want to do this, who does not want this reasonable and legal wealth. After all, the vast majority of officials are middle- and low-level officials, and they are all people with titles. No knighthood means no extra income, and you can only survive on your salary. For real high-ranking officials, the income from knighthoods is the majority, and the income of ordinary officials is not too much. If you can go to the south and exploit the people there, you may be able to make a lot of money. And then there's a ton of opportunities. As long as you can go once, maybe the income obtained by exploiting the local people will be enough to be an official in the country for decades. Even if you go once, you don't have to worry about it in this life, even if you do it on the spot, it doesn't matter.

"You want to go south?" Jingwen asked.

And the guy immediately said: "Please also ask Lord Jingwen to take me, in the south of the toothless." Although this money is nothing to Lord Jingwen, it is a lifetime guarantee for us, so that we can live a stable life! ”

Jingwen thought about it for a while, and Jingwen soon had an idea. Jingwen immediately came to the palace again. asked to see Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the other members of these envoys should choose some old officials, that is, officials who will retire in a few years." Jingwen said.

"Why? Isn't the young in the prime of life? Li Shimin asked curiously.

And Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty." Many people should know what kind of place this Annan Metropolitan Protectorate is, and this is an out-and-out fat difference. If you sit for a long time with this kind of fat, I'm afraid you will get a lot of bad diseases in the future. If they are used to making money there, what if they continue to make money in their new positions when they come back? So it is necessary to use officials who are about to retire. In this way, once they come back, they will retire, and they don't have to worry about corruption and anything like that, because they have already paid tribute. ”

"And they're almost there. They will definitely cherish this opportunity to make money, and they will definitely try their best to exploit the colonies there. We take advantage of their psychology and can maximize the possibility of obtaining benefits. After all, they are all for their own pension money, of course, they have to do their best, if they don't do their best, then the final result is that they can't get enough money to retire. ”

Jingwen's meaning is very simple, that is, to take advantage of the hearts of these officials who are about to retire, anyway, if they have the right to use it, it will expire and be invalid. Of course, they have to find a way to make money, for their own sake and for the sake of their descendants! And in later generations, there is also a fifty-nine phenomenon, that is, after retirement, they will start to corrupt vigorously, which is the psychology of having the right not to expire and be invalid. Ancient and modern times are all connected, and now Jingwen has given these officials who are about to retire the psychology, and then they can try their best to make money for the country, because they are also making money for themselves, and they can get dividends.

And after they retire, they don't have the opportunity to work in their positions, because in order to prevent them from bringing back those bad habits of making money back to China, so once they return to China, they must retire as much as possible, which can prevent them from bringing back those bad habits abroad.

"That's right! If you are used to reaching out abroad, then who knows if you will return to China and treat the people at home like this? If so, it would hurt them. Therefore, it is to send out those officials who are about to become famous, so as to prevent them from bringing back any bad habits to harm the people of our Tang Dynasty, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace. Li Shimin said.

"The emperor is wise!" Jingwen immediately slapped a sycophant.

"Okay, I immediately ordered that those older officials be selected, so that they can gradually go to the south to become officials for a few years, and then how much benefit they can get, that is up to them. As long as I can get benefits, then I will definitely not be stingy with rewards. As long as I can get enough resources and wealth for my Datang, then I will not forget their share. Li Shimin said.

And Jingwen went back immediately, after all, this time he plugged a gap for the country, that is, if those officials' bad habits bring to the country, I am afraid that it will corrupt a lot of atmosphere. So choosing officials who are about to retire is a big deal. (To be continued......)
