Chapter 768: Plea
After a long journey, the disgraced Jieli Khan finally arrived in Chang'an.
In fact, if it weren't for Jieli Khan's procrastination, the speed to Chang'an would have been faster.
And because Emperor Li Shimin was ready to let Jieli Khan be a plaything in Chang'an, he couldn't abuse him too much, so he could only follow Jieli Khan's speed and walk slowly to Chang'an.
When he arrived in Chang'an, Jieli Khan changed his appearance and became a clown, constantly using his low eyebrows to interact with others, and touting the emperor Li Shimin in various ways, and the Turkic side after the defeat of Jieli Khan, it was naturally impossible to recognize Jieli Khan as the master, and the internal struggle of the Turks began to unfold.
At this time, Niu Shijin also set off for the Western Regions, preparing to wipe out the remaining Turks, and after the Turks were wiped out, how to ensure the safety of this land became the top priority.
Under the operation of the airship, Emperor Li Shimin changed the overall layout.
After the military force of the Tang Dynasty completed the war with the Turks, it was supposed to let the horses return to the mountains, but now they have exerted a greater spirit, because they know that there are still powerful countries in the west of the Turks, and if they let the powerful countries of the West cross the grasslands and deserts, they will come to the Tang Dynasty.
Instead of passively accepting the challenge, then Datang should take down this place first and take the initiative to guard the hinterland.
What's more, the emperor also knew that the other party was also in a state of anxiety during this time, and it was time to occupy such a large piece of land.
Originally, the Tang Dynasty had little interest in the governance of the Turkic land. It's a loss-making business.
For Datang, operating this land is only for Datang's safety, and there is no way to get too many economic benefits.
However, because Fan Jingjing wrote to the emperor how to run the Western Regions, and wanted the right to operate the merchant group in the Western Regions, the emperor finally realized that this place was not without any value.
As long as the places that are favored by Fan Jingjing are very valuable.
Especially when the airship has appeared, the value will be very large, of course, if it is to be developed from now on, the imperial court needs to spend a lot of money, so he asked Fan Jingjing to play the striker, and after the striker finished the matter, the emperor could go to the back to take over.
After all, the emperor's main governance method is actually to set up officials to govern and collect taxes, so that no matter how much money Fan Jingjing makes, he must hand over part of the money to the emperor.
The emperor can sit back and enjoy it.
For the emperor, it was not his main purpose to engage in industry, he needed to control every place and every place to collect taxes, and he arranged for officials, and these taxes were collected by these officials, used to support these officials, as well as to do local construction, and part of the collection was collected by the central government for him to spend.
For the emperor, although the money in the Tang Dynasty is not enough, the emperor has been satisfied, but tax collection is a manifestation of a local management ability, even if a place is newly developed, tax collection can be suspended, but after that, taxes will be collected, and the development of the Fan family manor area, with the personality of the Fan family manor, will obediently pay taxes, and telling them that they do not need to pay taxes is equivalent to letting them earn more.
It is better to obediently collect the money, and use the money to give full play to the power of the official and build well, so that the people have Fan Jingjing, and the official can also give all its strength.
After all, in addition, the airship's traffic control ability is also stronger than before.
Although there is no way for ordinary troops to go up, elite troops can be quickly delivered through airships, the number of airships is still slowly increasing, and the function of airships is also slowly increasing, I hope it can become an important law for Datang to maintain the safety of soldiers in the future.
As for the Turkic rule, after the formation of open space, if Fan Jingjing can change the local way of life as she said, let the Turks run horses and herd sheep, and change the way they can exchange with each other in the Han Dynasty, and improve the security of the Turks, so that they no longer fight on horseback, so that their strength will be reduced.
And for the grassland peoples, whoever is good to them, they will respect whoever is the master, so the emperor has always been in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Khan on the day can do it, that is to say, the emperor just wants the Khan of the day, and there must be an army, and these troops wander throughout the Western Regions, and they may have to be stationed for a long time, so it is best to be able to open up Tuntian in the west, and the army of Tuntian naturally has no way to be withdrawn from the government soldiers, because the fields in the Western Regions, in the eyes of the Tang people, are naturally not good fields, and they must be far away from Chang'an, For the entire people of the Tang Dynasty, it is the first day to come out under Chang'an, and to stay away is to be distributed.
If they are rich enough to be able to settle their family property in Chang'an, they will not leave Chang'an.
So Fan Jingjing suggested recruiting some recruits, these people may not be able to pay taxes, or they are people who do evil in the countryside by force, in the Western Regions, people need to be banditry.
After training along the way, after arriving in the Western Regions, they can restore their fields and guard the place, and set up the capital protectorate in various places, and then gradually expand.
It is similar to the way the Ministry of Agriculture of Fanjia Manor expanded the countryside, although the expansion is still in progress, but it can be seen that as long as the village of the Ministry of Agriculture has been newly built, the neighborhood will also become rich, although it is not obvious now, but after two or three years, this situation will become more and more obvious.
The emperor is a very fantasizing person, he likes to fantasize about how his land will expand, and in the process of expansion, he will experience all kinds of progress, so that the local people will finally pin on him for this progress, and finally bow to him.
The emperor is a god in the world, although the emperor himself feels that he has no divine power, but he believes that he is a fairy-like existence, but because he wants to represent the gods to execute power in the world, he is deprived of the power of the gods, so there is no way to show the power of the gods must rely on the power of mortals, but the status of the Son of Heaven will allow him to have extraordinary abilities and see through the future.
It is because Fan Jingjing seems to be able to see through the future better than the emperor, so the emperor actually has some dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in his heart, but Fan Jingjing does not show political thoughts, and what he likes most is to live the life of ordinary people, even if the Fan family manor is growing, most of it is because the people in the Fan family manor want a more stable life.
The Fan family manor has basically been able to be self-sufficient, and even serve the outside world, in the idea of the Fan family manor, this is their great achievement.
After receiving the emperor's order, there is also a point that Jingjing was forced to go to the Western Regions to develop.
In fact, this is also Fan Jingjing's willingness, originally the emperor thought that Fan Jingjing would let his subordinates go to develop, but he didn't expect that when he got the emperor's instructions, Fan Jingjing actually went in person by airship.
