"This is the question of whether God rewards the food, some places do have a good climate, but they have many mountains, there are not many places to farm, the most important thing is that there are no big rivers to cross, and there is no civilization from ancient times to the present, our place is purely God to enjoy food."

Li Xiang doesn't know how to explain this problem, so he can only attribute all this to God, and all people are willing to believe in this explanation, after all, from the day they were born, they have an incomparable sense of superiority, and always think that the territory of Datang is the best in the world, and Li Xiang's explanation also makes them more satisfied psychologically.

"I have been telling you to occupy this area, in order to bring our advanced technology over, it may not be visible at present, but it will soon be visible, the population of Datang will be more and more, and the existing land cannot meet our development, so we will move the grain production area to this area, and then find a way to transport the grain back, then we can do some other ...... in the hinterland of Datang."

Su Dingfang is very familiar with these words, when he attacked Goguryeo, Li Xiang also used these words to convince everyone, although these words were repeated, but I have to say that they are very useful, Zhang Jiuli They also nodded, what Li Xiang said was very correct.

"Let's talk about the army, if we use the ability of our Datang Iron Cavalry, how many troops do you think we can use to occupy Nanzhao, and then enter the southern countries, of course, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, it's just an estimate within us now."

Long Wu was redeemed by Li Xiang from the system, so this person is still relatively reliable in speaking, and unlike some people in society, he will definitely calculate this matter very conservatively.

"I think 30,000 cavalry is enough just to defeat the localities, but if you want to effectively occupy the various places, I'm afraid this number will be several times higher, although the people in these areas do not have a unified country, they are also very difficult to manage, and this area is full of mountains and forests, so it is recommended to occupy only some plain areas, and let other areas develop."

Long Wu thought for a while and said, including Nanzhao, many places are not worth our occupation, if we want to occupy these areas, the price and time we spend is by no means a small amount, what we want is nothing more than the plains of this area, as for those mountains and forests, let them be casual.

"What you said is also reasonable, for the time being, it can only be like this, we will occupy a small part of the area first, but the rest of the area must not be given up, if you give up, then people will slowly develop in this place, and sooner or later one day in the future will swallow our fruit."

Li Xiang wants to establish a new policy of opening up, that is, to occupy the coastal and plain areas first, as for some places in the mountains and forests, they can be completely opened to the domestic families and those brave men in the mountains and fields, as long as you want to create a new world for yourself, then you can go to those mountains and forests and narrow areas to work hard.

You only need to pay a part of the tax to the court every year, plus 1/3 of the land you occupy is handed over to the court, then the rest of the land can be used for 100 years, and the court will redistribute it after 100 years, which can be said to be a profitable business.

Some people also say that those people in China are not stupid, they may not do this, Li Xiang did not say that all people do it, some people can no longer develop in the country, but they do have strength in their hands, and the court is now giving them an opening, so it's no wonder if they don't go.

What's more, 100 years of use rights, no one dares to guarantee what will happen in these 100 years, first grasp these lands in their own hands, and it is not too late to deal with them slowly in the future, not to mention that every piece of land has the output of every piece of land, especially these lands in the tropics, as long as you can operate well, it is not difficult to earn back more than ten times the profits, and these local natives are not strong in combat, and there are still people who are willing to go.

"Your Highness, are we thinking too long-term, now we are marrying in Nanzhaoguo, you have already thought about the affairs of the southern countries, we have to finish this matter now."

Other people have already thought about creating an armed manor in the south, anyway, this is allowed by the imperial court, but they are brought back to reality by one sentence, don't think about such a good thing first, our current power is only in southern Sichuan, and the Nanzhao country does not belong to us, if you want to realize your wish for an armed manor, we have to first pass the things in front of us.

"What you said is also the truth, let's stop fantasizing, try not to fight in Nanzhao, I estimate that in the next two years, all kinds of problems will occur in their country, raising the temple so high, which itself is beyond their ability, and now it is also because of peace, so these contradictions have not been stimulated, we have to find a way to stimulate these contradictions."

If you want a country to develop in a good way, it may be very difficult, but if you want to find something for this country, especially if you are much stronger than this country, then you have too many methods, just think about Tubo back then, that is also a country that can be compared with the Tang Dynasty, but now it is directly divided into three parts, and the other two parts are getting weaker and weaker, even if there are people like Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo, what can they do?

"It's better to divide the soldiers into two ways, His Royal Highness continues to support King Nanzhao, we find a prince from within the court, let him support King Zhennan, the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, if the King of Zhennan has the support of the prince within the court, then it will be done when it is time to do it, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the comprehensive national strength will drop by at least more than half."

Zhang Jiuli also knows what comprehensive national strength is, because of the arrival of Li Xiang, these new terms have a new space in Datang, after this guy's words were finished, everyone else squinted and nodded, Zhang Jiuli This guy is definitely a capable person who uses his brains.

"But no one among the other princes can compete with our Highness!"

Qian Ping's words immediately pulled everyone to the starting point, it's not a good thing to be too strong, and there is no way to find someone to act and sing against you, which is also one of the pains of being too strong.
