Chapter 247: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Speaking of this, Li Ke stopped and looked at them and asked, "If you have any ideas, just say them, after all, these things are thought of by me alone, and everyone brainstorms." ”

Everyone began to think, Jiang Feng would never speak, he was just a craftsman, and these things were not something he should consider.

"Your Highness, is the management of the salt works here a little more ruthless?" Li Daozong hesitated and asked. Li Ke's management of these salt farms is no different from that of the herdsmen outside, except that they have a place to live alone and are not allowed to contact the outside world.

In addition, the food and drink, and even the rest time are similar to the outside, to be honest, although these Turkic nobles are said to be aristocrats, but unlike the nobles who can't pick their shoulders and can't lift their hands in the Tang Dynasty, they still do some work by themselves every day, so they just work harder, eat poorly, and many people's bodies have actually improved a lot.

"What do you mean?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.

"Just look for a chance to let them all die." Li Daozong said fiercely, the current Tuyuhun is the Xizhou of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need for these nobles to exist.

And Datang is not short of manpower, to be honest, the work here in Yanchi is not heavy, in fact, as long as you give money, ordinary people are willing to do a lot.

"Forget it, there's no need." Li Ke thought about it and shook his head very simply, it's not that Li Ke can't be ruthless, he doesn't have to see it with his own eyes, Li Daozong and they have a way.

The main thing is that the threat to Li Ke is too small for these people now, and even if they run away, they can't find the herdsmen who go with them. So what's the threat of them escaping? And they can escape?

It's not that Li Ke has confidence in himself, but he thinks that if they escape, it is estimated that these herdsmen will be able to capture them.

"Mainly, I'm afraid they'll leak the news here, if anyone runs out." Li Daozong thought for a while.

"There's no need, the program here seems simple, but it's actually not that simple, and this kind of thing doesn't mean that you can use it when you take it out." Li Ke smiled faintly, Zhenguannian is indeed not a national monopoly on salt and iron, but Li Ke has already figured out that sooner or later he will have to get the price bureau out.

"As long as you manage them well, there should be no problem for you to strengthen patrols and vigilance in this regard, and I will talk about our next foreign strategy."

Li Daozong and Su Dingfang immediately turned serious, they must have carried out this aspect.

"When General Xue and the others come back to convene a meeting, I will have people notify all the herdsmen in the vicinity of Chihai and Qinghai Lake, select some people, and let them pass on the news to the entire Xizhou." Li Ke said, "In addition, our next step is to target Tubo. ”

"Now? This one...... Isn't it good? Li Daozong, like Li Jing, hesitated.

Datang has just completed the battle against Tuyuhun, although it is said to be a big victory, but in fact, the Datang army also suffered casualties, with a total of nearly 10,000 casualties. If you fight against Tibet again at this time, it will inevitably affect morale.

"There's nothing bad about it, we don't have to use force, we just need to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle." Li Ke said directly.

"Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Li Daozong: They all have some doubts.

"Yes, let these herdsmen who promote our policies not only preach to the Tang Dynasty, but also to the herdsmen in the direction of Tubo near Xizhou, all those who enter the Tang realm of my Xizhou, as long as they follow the laws of our Datang and are willing to register in my Xizhou, are the people of my Datang, give them Yongye fields, Yongye cattle, sheep and horses, and provide them with protection!" Li Ke said with a calm face.

Li Daozong and the others were all stunned for a moment, and soon they understood the ruthlessness of Li Ke's move...... Awesome.

No wonder His Royal Highness said that the bottom of the kettle is drawn, this ...... To be honest, they never thought they would be able to dig up the people of other countries.

Or that no one can imagine that in everyone's eyes, these ordinary people are simply insignificant. It doesn't matter if they are killed in a war, it doesn't matter if they are oppressed in peacetime, in short, they don't care anyway.

But are they useful to Li Ke? Useful!

It can be said that as long as the materials are sufficient and can be fed, the population is the greatest wealth. And now Xizhou has enough materials to feed these people, and the Huangshui Valley means that it can accommodate at least 300,000 residents, which is 1.5 million people according to the average family of five people in Datang, and in addition, grazing in areas such as Qinghai Lake can also accommodate 200,000 people.

It is easy for the entire Western Continent to feed at least two million people.

But now the total population of Tuyuhun is only between 400,000 and 500,000, which is an estimate, because no one has counted it, and it is estimated that Songtsen Gampo himself does not know.

However, according to the estimation of the number of people supported by the grassland area in this era, the current population of Tibet is about 500,000, and in later generations, with the strength of Tibet, Tibet once controlled the southern foothills of the Himalayas, and the population of Tibet may have been several million at that time.

The strength of Tubo can be said to have played a decisive role in Princess Wencheng, of course, it has also been reconciled with the Tang Dynasty for a long time with Tubo, so as to get the strong support of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the current Tibetan, the people have not yet been civilized, and even the current Tibetan Buddhism is just a prototype, Li Ke went to the history books, and the real time for the formation of Tibetan Buddhism in later generations has reached the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

It is also related to Princess Wencheng, the arrival of Princess Wencheng brought Han Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, and Songtsen Gampo also married a subject country of Tibet, and the princess of Nepal in later generations brought Indian Buddhism, and then gradually formed Tibetan Buddhism after a few decades, and Tibetan Buddhism has a place in Tibet more than a hundred years later.

The current Tubo is actually similar to Tuyuhun, and it is more of a shamanism that believes in the main beliefs of nomadic people such as the immortal heaven, that is, the religious belief of the primitive religion with totems as the main body.

In other words, the current Tubo people are actually not much different from the Tuyuhun herdsmen, which is also the basis for Li Ke to attract them.

"Therefore, after the next two generals Xue come back, you will lead the army to be stationed in several key positions on the border of Tubo, do not need to be too close to Tubo, select a few oases, these oases are currently vacant, all the herdsmen have migrated to the vicinity of Qinghai Lake, you can be stationed in these places at will, as for the logistics, don't worry, I will hire these herdsmen to transport grain to you." Li Ke said with a smile.

Because Li Ke's next plan can already begin, and the economy is circulating, Li Ke can theoretically play with all the territories of the entire Xizhou, and he can hire all the hundreds of thousands of herdsmen in the former Tuyuhun of Xizhou.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the money flow continuously, and in this process, Xizhou will be greatly developed! That's the most important thing!

A MLM mentor who can't play with money is still a mentor?!
