Chapter 73: Arrange for Guo Yuanzhen to go to Nanzhao

Looking at Guo Yuanzhen, who was next to him, Li Jing asked casually: "Guo Yuanzhen, what do you think about the discovery of silver mines in Nanzhao?" ”

"Regent, if this is true, the minister thinks that he should send someone to protect the silver mine first, and then requisition labor from the local area to mine and transport the ore back!"

Guo Yuanzhen put down the teacup in his hand and said.

Well! That's a good idea!

However, the Tang Army has just destroyed their homeland, can they be willing to mine for the Tang Dynasty?

"What if they don't?"

"If they don't want to, they will arrest them all, and whoever dares to resist will directly connect the nine clans! Let's see who dares to resist!"

it, it's so ruthless!

People don't want you to work for you, so they kill the nine clans of the family, this Guo Yuanzhen is really not a good bird!

Li Jing was a little shocked.

How could you fall in love with such a ruthless guy?

I am such a benevolent person, will I be brought bad by him if I stay with him for a long time, and if I become a monarch who kills people at every turn, how can I become an emperor through the ages!

"Yuan Zhen! I'm going to talk about this!"

Li Jing said solemnly: "Anyway, Nanzhao people are also people, if you want to talk about humanitarianism, how can you shout and kill at every turn?" What's more, it is too vicious to kill the nine clans of the murder family, have you ever thought about it, how sad is such a family? This kind of unrighteousness will not be agreed to by this king under any circumstances! ”

Guo Yuanzhen was disdainful after hearing this: "Is a barbarian also a human?" It's just an uncivilized animal, and if you kill it, you will kill it, it's not a big deal! The minister only thought that if he killed only one person, his family outside the palace would be sad, so he suggested that the regent should connect their nine clans, so that their big family would be neat and tidy, and they would never be separated!"

Li Jing was confused by Guo Yuanzhen's remarks!

A big family is neat and tidy, never separated! It seems to make sense, how can he refute it?

Li Jing sighed: "This king is not a person who loves to kill, this time he sent troops to Nanzhao in order to expand his territory and conquer Nanzhao, then the people of Nanzhao are the people of my Tang Dynasty, how can this king be so cruel to his own people!"

"If you connect the nine clans of them at every turn, wouldn't it be indiscriminate killing of innocents? How will Nanzhao be governed in the future, and how can the people of Nanzhao really belong to the Tang Dynasty? This kind of evil will never be allowed to happen by this king!"

Guo Yuanzhen was silent!

It seems that Li Jing thinks longer than he thinks, he doesn't plan to count the bitter cold land of Nanzhao in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao has a lot of biogas, mosquitoes, snakes, ants and other poisons, and the degree of development is not high, so it has no value at all.

However, as a courtier, he knew how to answer Li Jing's words:

"The regent is really kind-hearted, really admirable by the ministers, there is a regent in the Tang Dynasty, it is really a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know how many lifetimes the Nanzhao people have cultivated, and they can meet a master like the regent!"

Li Jing was very useful, and said with a smile: "Guo Aiqing's words are serious, this king just can't see people's suffering, although Nanzhao is edification, it doesn't matter!" ”

"This king will play the imperial court, let the imperial court send well-educated people to Nanzhao, educate the local aborigines, and let them become three good young people who understand the general situation and etiquette as soon as possible!"

"The matter over there in the silver mine, this king decided to leave it to you, I don't know what Guo Aiqing wants? I am willing to share the worries of the court!"

"Ahh

Guo Yuanzhen was very surprised!

He never thought that Li Jing would let him take care of the silver mine.

Let him do it?

There's nothing wrong with him, the key is that no one can dictate him.

"This king has decided to establish Nanzhao as Nanzhao Dao, divided into 21 state capitals and 256 counties, and you will be the ambassador of Nanzhao Dao, with full responsibility for the civil affairs of Nanzhao Dao."

Li Jing said.

Nanzhao is still in the midst of war, of course, he must send trustworthy people to manage, Guo Yuanzhen is the most suitable person, he is smart, and he has experience in governing the place, the most important thing is that he can trust Guo Yuanzhen.

With Guo Yuanzhen's means, it is more than enough to govern Nanzhao, and if you send a large army to guard Nanzhao, you will not be afraid that someone in Nanzhao will commit chaos!

"Thank you, Lord Regent! The ministers will not disappoint the regent's love!"

Guo Yuanzhen immediately got up and saluted.

"Hmmm! Well! This king believes that you will do it, and now this king will appoint you as the ambassador of Nanzhao, and immediately set off for Nanzhao to pacify the people of Nanzhao and take charge of silver mining. ”

Li Jing nodded, he was very optimistic about Guo Yuanzhen.

Li Jing firmly believes that Guo Yuanzhen will be able to shine in Nanzhao, lead the people of Nanzhao to a happy life, and be proud to be the people of the Tang Dynasty!

"Ahh

Guo Yuanzhen was stunned!

Nanzhao is still fighting, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have only seized one-sixth of Nanzhao's territory, and the Nanzhao army is still resisting to the death, and the struggle is very fierce.

"Yuan Zhen, you don't have any worries, it's not more than enough to manage Nanzhao Dao with your talents!"

Li Jing said.

"Ahh This ......"

It is true that he Guo Yuanzhen has talents, but it will not be safe for him to go alone.

"You have to believe in General Han Shizhong, he will definitely be able to successfully pacify Nanzhao, maybe after you arrive, the entire Nanzhao has been thrown into the arms of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jing continued.

Guo Yuanzhen is still a little worried, what if it is different from what Li Jing said?

"You have to have confidence in yourself, you have to overcome difficulties when you have them, and you have to know how to face them."

Guo Yuanzhen saw that Li Jing was hard-hearted, and he had to go to Nanzhao, and he couldn't go if he didn't go!

"Minister, go back and prepare!"

Guo Yuanzhen saluted.

"That's right! The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should make immortal feats! This king will give you 3,000 elites to be your escort, escort you to Nanzhao, and protect your personal safety!"

Li Jing sent Guo Yuanzhen to Nanzhao in order to manage Nanzhao, not to sabotage, with the current situation in Nanzhao, Li Jing was afraid that Nanzhao people would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he sent people to assassinate Tang officials, and sent 3,000 elites to protect them.

Li Jing believes that with Guo Yuanzhen's talent, after a long time in Nanzhao, Nanzhao people will sincerely submit to Datang and be proud to be able to become Datang people.

Li Jing is still very confident in Guo Yuanzhen, after all, Guo Yuanzhen is a person who can be the prime minister, and even the country can be governed, and a Nanzhao Dao is not easy to capture!

"Thank you for the regent's care, the minister feels that the situation in Nanzhao is unstable now, and there are repeated rebellions in Nanzhao, so it is better to use the strategy of rubbing the nobility of Nanzhao to win over the nobles of Nanzhao, and promise to be a high-ranking official, so that the soldiers can be avoided and the subjugation of Nanzhao can be accelerated."

Guo Yuanzhen saluted and offered a strategy, instead of fighting and killing, it is better to Zhao'an, first divide Nanzhao from the inside, and then slowly figure it out, within a few years, Nanzhao will completely become a part of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Jing glanced at Guo Yuanzhen approvingly: "What you said is very reasonable, the matter of winning over and dividing, just wait for you to arrive in Nanzhao, and then implement it!"

Guo Yuanzhen immediately saluted and said, "The minister understands!"

Li Jing said: "Okay! Now that you have a comprehensive plan, then you go back and prepare well, set off for Nanzhao as soon as possible, I will ask Han Shizhong to cooperate with your work, within half a year, I will see the results, and I hope Aiqing can work harder!"

Yes?

Is it so urgent?

Don't you let me go to Nanzhao to make a field trip and then make a specific plan, how should I implement this plan?

Wouldn't it be too child's play for you to finalize it now and only give it half a year?

What if I encounter any accidents on the way and can't reach Nanzhao within half a year?

"Regent, how to do it exactly, the minister still needs to go to Nanzhao to make a plan, only half a year, it's too nervous, can you give more time!"

Guo Yuanzhen said stiffly.

"What you said is not unreasonable, however, you can think about the details clearly on the way to Nanzhao, and after you get to Nanzhao, you will not be in a hurry, if you feel that half a year is not enough, then give you a year, now that there is plenty of time, you can rest assured to do it boldly!"

Li Jing said.

Guo Yuanzhen looked at Li Jing's eyes, and knew that there was no point in continuing to talk, Li Jing's determination had been made!

"The minister will definitely do his best for the regent, and then die!"

Guo Yuanzhen arched his hand and said.

"That's good! I have a lot of confidence in you! ”

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction.

"Retire!"

Guo Yuanzhen bowed and retreated!

After arranging for Guo Yuanzhen to go to Nanzhao, Li Jing felt that there was nothing to do here, so he called Murong Zhong to explain, especially the place where the mutual market was finalized.

Allow businessmen from the two countries to come and go, and at the same time, finalize the price of jerky and milk powder, as well as sales channels, sales methods, etc.

At this moment, the guards came to report that Lou Shide, who was sent to Tubo, came back!

Not only did Lou Shide come back, but he also brought back the envoy of Tibet.

Li Jing immediately met with Lou Shide.

"Minister, see the regent!"

Master Lou is virtuous and saluting.

"Lou Aiqing is exempt!"

Li Jing said: "This time the envoy to Tibet has gone well, I heard that you brought back the envoy of Tibet, it seems that Tubo is willing to pay tribute!"

"This is all thanks to the blessing of the regent, this time the envoy to Tibet is very smooth, the king of Tubo is afraid of the regent of the prestige, and the ministers know it again and reason, and move it with affection!"

"The monarchs and ministers of Tubo are all crying bitterly, I hope that I will never commit the Tang Dynasty in this life, and I am willing to call the ministers and pay tribute and become the vassals of the Tang Dynasty!"

Lou Shide said with a smile, the reason why this mission to Tibet was so smooth was because of Li Jing's martial arts, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were invincible, and the Tubo was afraid.

He Lou Shide can rely on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to move the king of Tubo, and the minister of Tubo agrees to call the minister a tribute, which is based on the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

"How's the Qin Tomb?"

Li Jing asked.

"The king of Tubo agreed to pay tribute, and after being known by the Qinling, the Qinling strongly objected, and even threatened that the king of Tubo did not understand anything, and the military and political affairs of Tubo were decided by him on the Qinling!"

Lou Shide said.

Li Jing showed a hint of evil smile, it seems that without external pressure, the hatred between the King of Tubo and the Qinling Tomb cannot be concealed, and the war is about to break out!

With the prestige of the king of Tubo in Tibet, it is not a problem to solve the problem of discussing the Qinling.

In order to let them fight as soon as possible, Li Jing immediately ordered the class to return to the court, and the Tibetan envoy brought it back to Chang'an.
