Li Xiang and Li Tian all went to the celebration banquet.

However, Li Chong did not invite such a banquet.

After the carnival, Li Chengqian also had to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

All I can say is......

asked Li Xiang and Li Tian, and the two of them were not very good at giving an answer.

How to say that.

Since the beginning of the dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has never been able to solve a problem, that is, the problem of the grassland.

You see, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is ruthless enough.

There is no royal court in Mobei, but after the Han Dynasty fell.

Isn't it Xianbei again?

Now in front of Li Chengqian is a Turkic whose population has recovered.

This is not going to bring down the Turkic population......

It's like lying on the side of a couch, and you can't let others sleep soundly.

Li Xiang and Li Tian were the heroes of this rebellion, and I thought that the two would have some high opinions.

However......

After asking, Li Chengqian still felt that it was almost meaningful.

There was no way, Li Chengqian had to come to see his teacher again the next day.

Li Zhong lay motionless on the mat.

Smoke from the incense burner rises alongside.

I saw Li Chongdao: "In this case, either you will be ruthless and directly exterminate physically, or, like the Western Turks, take them to war together." ”

"Of course, there are problems with this war, if the West is rich, then of course the Turks will definitely be willing to fight with you, but if they know, they won't be able to get much oil and water there......"

"Maybe at some point, they'll rebel."

Li Chengqian said: "Then teacher, what do you think should be done?" ”

Li Chong: "My China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and it has always paid attention to convincing people with virtue. ”

"Now that they have surrendered, it doesn't seem good for us to tear our faces and attack them, so it's better to take them to the west to fight."

Well!

Isn't this Turkic people having a bad life?

Then go to the west to rob it, and after the robbery is over, Datang will sell them tea, silk and other things, so that their quality of life will also be improved.

And Datang's tea, silk and so on, can also be sold.

To put it bluntly, it is to divert the troubles to the east, and let the Turkic people who have nothing to do become something to do.

You say you don't agree?

You don't want to go to war that far away?

Then there is no way!

You belong to the toast and don't eat and drink, and it's time for the Tang Dynasty to prepare for a physical genocide against the Turks to control the population of the northern steppe.

I saw Li Chongdao: "This is sometimes, it's been too long and it's not a good thing, the population is up, and there are more mouths to eat, so you have to balance the contradiction between the population and the food." ”

"You said that if there is a heavy snow or something, if the Turks lose a lot of cattle and sheep at once, do you think the Turks will enter the Tang Dynasty and come to grab grain?"

"I think...... They will! ”

"So, I think it's important to be able to anticipate this scourge in advance and eliminate it in the bud."

Li Chengqian looked at his teacher lying there.

All I can say is......

Makes sense.

This is probably the way of the real emperor.

Wrong!

It should be said that it is the path of those who stand at the top of the food chain.

Li Chengqian soon understood!

Next......

After carefully listening to his teacher's idea of opening up a passage between Asia and Europe so as to reach the Americas directly, Li Chengqian arranged for people to carry out the plan of the westward expedition.

】

Right!

It is still too unsafe to go to the Americas from the Pacific, and if you can, why not just conquer Europe and pass through Europe?

Of course!

This road must be paved with countless corpses.

Then use the Turks to help them open this way.

……

Followed by......

On the grounds that the war in the west was tense, the Tang Dynasty began to recruit Turkic soldiers.

The Turkic vaguely sensed something, but he didn't understand it very well.

But it doesn't matter, Datang said to go wherever he wants.

A large number of Turkic peoples, as a result, were conscripted to the West.

Even......

This almost aroused the vigilance of the Western Turks.

Although everyone is Turkic, this does not mean that they are very good brothers.

The Western Turks are still in Persia and have not yet returned.

But it doesn't matter.

Next......

The Eastern Turks were mainly responsible for the roads to the north.

That is, the Eastern European steppes.

All I can say is......

When they got there, they seemed to know what they were going to do.

First, if there is an enemy, then kill the enemy.

Second, if there is no enemy, then collect protection money along the way, be responsible for the protection and transfer of goods.

Responsible for this project.

It was Li Chengqian who found one of the smartest businessmen among the merchants in Luoyang.

Later......

This land Silk Road is in the hands of the other side.

It can only be said that the businessman was definitely reluctant at first.

But!

Considering the huge stakes involved.

And, with tens of thousands of Turkic armies coming to support him, he suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity to get rich.

All I can say is......

Grit your teeth and give it a try.

This is Li Chong's suggestion to Li Chengqian.

After all......

Only by letting businessmen do such things can they give full play to their subjective initiative.

Of course!

Datang will definitely send someone to monitor it as well.

This person who is watching, Li Chong can only say that he is definitely an old unlucky bastard.

At this time, the trade route north of the Caspian Sea can only be said to be not very smooth.

However, Lu Xun has a good saying, there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road.

As long as they can walk more, they should still be able to develop.

Of course!

Trading on the steppes is absolutely not possible without the guarantee of great strength.

This is why Li Chengqian asked the other party to bring the Turkic cavalry.

And over there......

You can't say no one.

There seem to be three barbarian tribes over there, and among them, there is a kind of people called Slavs, who are slaves of the world before the blacks, who have been sold all over Europe.

Let's go develop first!

If the place stabilizes in the future.

Perhaps, this is not entirely impossible for large-scale agricultural production.

this year.

While the Eastern Turks reached the Caspian Sea and were about to continue to expand westward, several ships in the South Pacific at this time were also passing through one very small island after another.

That's right!

They're back!

I saw that the leader looked at the very rough map, if nothing else, they would return to Datang from the south, and then go north and return to Liaodong.

Aboard......

Gold or something, it's also full of piles.

Other than that......

I also brought a lot of pumpkins.

Because the most eaten by the locals seems to be pumpkin.
