Chapter 314: Western Regions

The twelfth year of Yuan Heng.

The drought that lasted for three or four years finally seemed to be coming to an end.

Merely......

Although the drought in Guanzhong has been alleviated to a certain extent.

However......

These years have undoubtedly been a year of many disasters and hardships.

For example, in Wuzhou this year, 5,000 people drowned because of a heavy flood.

Other than that......

July and August of this year.

The people of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty are also prone to malaria.

This is mainly due to the fact that most people do not pay much attention to their living environment.

In order to eradicate malaria completely.

Li Chengqian also had to issue an edict again to announce to the world that this malaria is caused by mosquitoes! It's caused by mosquitoes!

Meantime......

For some poor people, medicine is also given to them free of charge.

But......

In fact, this can be regarded as a deeper understanding of how to carry out the propaganda of malaria prevention and control in the future.

After such publicity, it is estimated that the possibility of re-contracting malaria will be much reduced.

Science Newspaper also took out a special place and wrote a warning sentence about how to prevent and control malaria.

It can only be said that in addition to these, the entire twelve years of Yuanheng were relatively peaceful and stable.

Other than that......

According to the information brought back by the Persian prince Belus when he came to Luoyang for an audience.

So far this year, the Great Cannibal has taken control of the entire Persian Khorasan region.

The direction of the big cannibal's next attack may soon reach Datang.

Of course!

If you really want to say it, it is estimated that it is at least thousands of miles away from the four towns of Anxi.

In the face of the request of the Persian prince Belus, to tell the truth, Li Chengqian was also a little difficult to do.

You don't want to help each other.

It seems that he is not so benevolent.

You help each other.

That's a long way to go.

It doesn't seem to be getting any benefit.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Li Chong said: "In my opinion, it is not so easy for the big cannibals to hit Datang. Moreover, it is estimated that they have little interest in being enemies of Datang. ”

"It's like we have to transport grain from Chang'an to the Western Regions."

"If the Great Cannibals want to start a war in our west, their food transportation is also a big problem."

"Of course! Nor can the Great Cannibals attack the territory of our vassal state so easily. ”

"I think we can try to fight."

"If this battle is won, the next negotiations should be easier to negotiate."

Although many people want to see the big war between Datang and Dashi in Central Asia.

But I have to say that even in later generations, Central Asia is also the cemetery of empires, and it is really useless for them to knock down such a place in the Tang Dynasty.

It is better to think about whether there are any places in Central Asia that can be used for large-scale agricultural production.

Unless it's going to be a large-scale migration next.

Otherwise......

They Datang don't have much need to fight the big cannibals.

Later, in order to find out if there are any places in Central Asia that are suitable for farming.

Li Chengqian also sent envoys to inspect Central Asia.

Should it be said or not.

If Datang can achieve greater development, this immigration is still very necessary.

It's just that......

No one is stupid.

No one wants to be immigrated.

Not to mention.

Also skip these countries with the surname Zhaowu Jiu.

Li Chengqian suddenly mentioned to Li Chong, "I remember that in Xuanzang's travelogue, it seems to be recorded that near Zhangxiong, there is a piece of land that is very suitable for growing wheat, but it seems to be Tianzhu's land at present. If we can take this place, then we can reach Persia in the west, and Tianzhu in the east. ”

Li Chong also said: "Oh? Where is it? ”

Li Chengqian drew it for him.

Li Chongkai, isn't this Pakistan?

This place in Pakistan is indeed good!

Even in later generations, the Belt and Road Initiative is also through this, and in addition, if this place can really be occupied, it is equivalent to saying that Datang has an outlet to the sea in the southwest.

Of course!

In a place like this, there are enemies on the left and right, so I guess it's not easy to defend.

Li Chong said: "It's still that question, how to immigrate?" ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath.

To tell the truth, Datang feels a little inadequate in its own population now.

After all, just think about it, there was that ancient emperor who wanted his people to be few.

The more the merrier, the better.

If you really want to occupy Pakistan, to be precise, Tianzhu's territory now.

No matter how you say it, you have to immigrate at least three or five hundred thousand people, so it's the best thing, right?

Li Chong didn't know what those immigrants in history did.

Did the people complain?

But what is certain is that Li Chong himself will never be able to do such a hand.

So......

In the end, Li Chong said: "Or ...... Do you consult with the prime ministers? ”

"If you want to immigrate, how do you do it?"

"If you don't emigrate, what's the reason."

"Feeling...... It's better to divide the feudal and let a feudal king fend for himself there. ”

For this question, let's be honest.

Li Chengqian was also a little entangled.

After all......

He has not many children.

There is only one Li Xiang, if he had a few more children at the beginning, he might not be as entangled as he is now.

To solve this problem.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to find Li Xiang, and then asked Li Xiang if he was willing to go.

Pakistan.

That's certainly not a good place.

At least compared with a livable place like Datang, it is absolutely incomparable.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to tell Li Xiang why the Tang Dynasty had to go so far to establish its own feudal state.

It's not that it's a great achievement, it's so ambitious, or anything like that.

But how to say it, only by making Datang's territory big enough and making this cake bigger, in this way, can we avoid the involution of Datang in the future.

Merely......

Talking to Li Xiangyi like this, Li Chengqian found that Datang really does not have that need at present.

After all, how to say it, at least, the current Datang doesn't seem to be very involuted.

However, when it comes to Li Xiang's next generation, maybe it will be needed.

Li Xiang's heirs have at least seven or eight children now.

And that's not even if it's a girl's case.

If the girls are also counted, then he estimates that there are more than a dozen now.

It can only be said that you can fight with Li Er and Li Yuan for the number of births.

When the time comes......

If these seven or eight royal grandchildren all grow up, how should they be arranged? This separation is obviously a very good way out.

Of course, there is also a clear benefit to splitting the seal.

That is, once it is sealed, it will automatically become a barrier for Datang.

You see, now, here in Liaodong, Datang doesn't need to put too much thought into it.

The reason why Datang can have such tranquility today is not unrelated to Liaodong.
