The binding force of the environment on a person is very large.

In a civilized environment, Yun Chu couldn't do such a barbaric thing.

Similarly, in a barbaric environment, Yun Chu will suffer a loss or even die if he uses the same way as a civilized person.

In the environment where Yun Chu grew up before, there was no concept of colonies, and in Datang, there must be colonial experience, and there are a lot of them.

In the sixth year of Yonghui, there were 4 million households in Datang, and Yun Chu learned from his experience in governing Wannian County that the population of a household in Datang should be between six and ten in three generations, and the average population of a household was eight.

The people of Wannian County generally like to report their population as much as possible, because the county will allocate various subsidies according to the head at every turn, even if they have to pay the head tax, it is also cheap.

The rest of the states and counties are different, the common people will generally report two or three men, as for the rest, they will hide it, on the one hand, it can reduce taxes, on the other hand, it is also convenient to enter the rich and noble families as servants.

Therefore, according to the calculation of four million households with eight people per household, the population of Datang at this time was about 32 million.

Yun Chu made a rough calculation and found that the land area that Datang could control at this time should be about 12 million square kilometers.

And that's not even counting the ambiguity.

Even counting babies, what can a country with a population of just over 30 million people do if it controls 120,000 square kilometers of land without colonization?

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, officials are now very disgusted with the generals' behavior of expanding their territory when they have nothing to do.

The reason why the Datang army likes to constantly attack nearby enemies is not to expand its territory, but to create a safe production and living space for the Datang people.

In addition, at this moment, the richest place in Datang is not Jiangnan, not southeast, but Longyou Road and Shanxi, Guanzhong, and even Shuzhong are far from being a country of abundance.

In order to defend Longyou Road and Shanxi, Shandong, Guanzhong, and the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty spared no effort to drive the Turks far away.

A place of restraint that cannot bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty is not a good place of restraint, which is why the Tang Dynasty army is tyrannical in the place of restraint.

The purpose of every expedition in Yunchu is not to expand the territory, but to extend the industrial chain of Chang'an and find a qualified dumping ground for the goods manufactured by the people of Chang'an.

Yun Chu thought that the establishment of the Buddha Kingdom should be very beneficial to Datang.

With the existence of the Buddha country, in the future, the land in the river will no longer be a barrier that separates the extension of the Silk Road at every turn, but will become a gas station on the Silk Road, which can allow Datang merchants to go further, and also allow merchants from farther to arrive in Chang'an more safely and quickly.

Gold, silver, and money are not important to Datang, what Datang wants is a variety of economic species, rich commodities, and constantly upgrading industries, and it needs to ensure Datang's food security by planting a variety of foods, and a variety of cattle, sheep, and livestock, which can make breeding easier and more productive.

The Western Regions is too big, and it is a relatively wealthy place compared to the rest of the place, so the Western Regions is more valuable than the rest of the place.

Therefore, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate are very busy, and the army will never be enough.

The birth of gunpowder gave Datang more confidence and courage when controlling the Quartet.

He also began to boldly use various strategies, boldly studying the strategic and tactical implications of winning more with less.

Even if it is messed up, it doesn't matter, at most send troops up, and use thunder bombs, fire bombs, fire oil bombs, which are far beyond their understanding to the natives around the Tang Dynasty, to quell the trouble.

Just like this time the war between Hassan and Combis is a clear example, Yun Chu, Wen Rou doesn't care what Hassan thinks, and he doesn't care if Combes will be a big family, the only thing they want is a war between them, hoping that they can make the river region into a no-man's land.

After this battle, several tribes with the surname Zhaowu Jiu have attacked each other, and there is already a hatred between them that cannot be unraveled.

Therefore, at this time, Yun Chu, gentle, Zhong Kui was ready to launch a plot to attack Sassanid Persia.

Create a powerful and invincible enemy for the tribes in the river dominated by the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

A few months ago, Yun Chu gave a letter to Liu Renliang, the governor of Xiongjin, about what he was doing in the Western Regions and what he was going to do.

Yun Chu looked at the letter sent by the Baiqi Division, and he was really emotional.

This letter traveled from the easternmost point of Datang to the westernmost point of Datang, a distance of 18,000 miles.

Yun Chu glanced at the envelope and found two small ink spots in the corners of the envelope, so he threw the letter into the bonfire.

Liu Renliang didn't want Yun Chu to read the he wrote, and he had instructed him a long time ago, but if he found two ink spots in the lower left corner of the envelope, he just burned them and didn't look at them.

Yun Chu didn't read his letter, but the emperor must have read it, so this letter is the same as the letter Yun Chu wrote to Liu Renliang, and the recipient is not the other party, but Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"You should take a look, and see how an upright person like Liu Renliang patted the emperor's ass, maybe it will be very meaningful."

was wiping the gentleness of his armor, and when he saw Yun Chu throw the letter into the fire and burn it, he felt a little regretful.

"Counting the time, Naha should have something to eat by now, right?" Yun Chu added some dry wood to the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously.

"It's not just us who are sending food to Naha, but the Buddhist temples on the ground in the Western Regions are also sending food to Naha's Buddha country, but there are not as many as we have here.

Take your time, food supply, temple management, and army formation will all be formed. ”

Gently sitting on the edge of the fire, holding his armor, saying that he was wiping it, in fact, he was also half-hearted.

Yun Chu smiled when he saw his lazy appearance: "Miss your little fruit?" ”

Wen Guo is the eldest son of gentleness, not his wife, but in the Tang Dynasty, people are generally not used to saying that they miss their mother-in-law, and they generally say that they miss their children.

"When I left, the mother-in-law kept crying, her eyes were not good, and she cried too many times, maybe she would be blind."

replied to Yun Chu gently, and continued to wipe his iron armor hard.

After staying in a wild place like the Western Regions for a long time, it is natural to think of your relatives in Chang'an.

Yun Chu himself grew up in the Western Regions, how could he not understand the gentle mind, he had the opportunity to stay in the Western Regions to develop, if he did not encounter an opponent who was difficult to resist, Yun Chu should have established his own race in the Western Regions at this time.

However, it is pointless to take a group of herdsmen to form their own ethnic groups in the Western Regions, it is nothing more than to take this group of fierce people to establish a loose nomadic tribal alliance in the land of the Western Regions, and then take this group of people to war with the Tang army.

This is not what Yun Chu wants, there is no point in establishing a kingdom of his own in this time and space, it will soon disappear with Yun Chu's death, even if Yun Chu can make some changes to these nomadic tribes, when he dies, the death of the people is certain.

Wildness and bloodshed are the current themes of the Western Regions, it has a powerful and unrivaled power, and it will extinguish the little spark that Yun Chu made, and there will be no scum left.

Inheritance, first of all, there must be an environment that can make inheritance permanent, look around, now, only Datang can barely meet the requirements of Yunchu.

And Chang'an City is the glorious city selected by Yunchu.

The matter had been discussed, and Yun Chu was ready to set off with the cavalry.

When Yun Chu attracted all the great cannibals on the land of Sassanid Persia to capture him, Wen Rou would take the opportunity to pretend to be a Sogdian surnamed Zhaowu and take the treasure of Prince Beluz from a city called Zarangi.

Zarangi, more than 800 miles west of Talas, was the largest city set up by the Great Cannibals in the far east.

At that time, after the elder brother of the prince of Beluz, Arosha, fled with the Persian nobles, he was determined to take Zarangi as his last stand, and then achieve the goal of restoring the Persian Empire.

Unfortunately, the Great Cannibals did not stop pursuing them because of the long distance, and after Arosha and the Persian nobles made a final resistance to the city of Zarangi, they were defeated by the Great Cannibals.

As a result, Prince Beluz marched all the way east into the Tang Dynasty in search of an opportunity to restore the glory of the Persian Empire.

His elder brother Arosha, however, traveled westward, preparing to seek a chance to restore the Byzantine Empire, the remnants of the Roman Empire.

The capital of the Sassanid Persians was originally in the city of Ctesiphon on the Arabian Peninsula, which was breached by the Great Cannibals, and before this city was breached, the Persian nobles fled from Ctesiphon with the Persian number of hundreds of years and traveled all the way to Zarangi.

In the battle of Zarangi, the Persian nobles were basically killed and wounded, and the two princes, Beluz and Arosha, had no chance to take these treasures with them, so they had to be sealed in the city of Zarangi......

The experiences of the brothers Beluz and Arosha over the years can be called the last tragedy of the Persian Empire.

Yun Chu was actually very skeptical about whether the treasures of the Persian Empire were indeed true, and if the amount of these treasures was large enough, there was no reason for the Great Cannibal not to know about the existence of this thing.

If the treasure was indeed in the city of Zaranji, the Great Cannibal would have dug deep into the ground and searched it.

Therefore, the treasure of the Persians sounds more like a conspiracy than a real thing.

In general, Yun Chu does not believe what politicians say and what promises they make.

It is the instinct of politicians to lie purposefully, they will not feel ashamed of deceiving you, they will only take the success of deception as proof of their wisdom.

Their credibility had been bankrupt many, many years ago, otherwise Shang Ying would not have had to rebuild the credibility of politicians by standing at the city gates.
