Chapter 251: The First Five-Year Plan

"Of course, generally speaking, I won't do this, because this thing is playing with a kind of credit, and it is supported by the credit of His Royal Highness, but although it can't be discarded directly, there are other means, such as through some channels, to transport a large number of food stamps to the territory of Tibet."

"And these food stamps can quickly flow into the hands of ordinary people after buying some basic materials, but when they want to buy things, they find that the number of food stamps has increased dramatically, and some basic materials that can be purchased by food stamps have begun to decrease rapidly, and some other key materials have been reduced to a very small amount."

"Their social system will be significantly damaged." Li Ke said with a smile.

In fact, the currency of the Tang Dynasty has always been used in the surrounding small countries, but the ancient copper coins could not implement this strategy because the copper coins themselves are also valuable, and this equivalent has always been recognized by the people of various countries, so some of its financial means are not playable.

In addition, like the strategy of grabbing people announced by Li Ke before, there is no way to implement it before Datang, or the implementation effect is very poor, why?

To paraphrase the words of later generations, it is a matter of ideology.

The Tang Dynasty territory bordering Tibet before was all Han Chinese, and they did not have the conditions for nomadism, they did not have a common faith, language, etc., and those Tibetan people would not rush over, because they didn't believe you.

And now Li Ke is different, what is the difference between those tribes close to Tuyuhun in Tubo and the Tuyuhun herdsmen?

In ancient times, unlike in later modern times, the borders between countries were connected by barbed wire, and they could not be crossed casually, but had to pass through the port, otherwise they would be directly imprisoned or even killed on the spot.

The ancient frontier was more like a nihilistic concept, the Central Plains Dynasty was better, and paid more attention to the border, but like the nomadic dynasties of Tubo and Tuyuhun, they did not have any concept of the border at all.

How did they determine the site? For example, if two tribes are separated by one kilometer, my tribe A is loyal to Tubo, and the scope of my frequent activities is the territory of Tubo, and my tribe B is loyal to Tuyuhun, so the territory of my tribe B is Tuyuhun.

Basically, this is the state, and all the nomadic places with abundant water and grass also have fixed tribes, the Han people have fought for water in disaster years, and there are also many herdsmen fighting for pastures.

"This is basically our next strategy, but in the short term, it is impossible for the food stamps to leave Xizhou, that is, these herders are using, I just tell you about its future power." Li Ke described it to everyone.

"If you have any comments or suggestions for the future development of Xizhou, you can say it."

Li Daozong and they all looked at each other, to be honest, what opinions can they have? Don't look at what Li Ke said is very general, but everything is a very complete system, and they just need to implement it.

According to Datang's previous plan to manage a place, compared to this, it is much worse.

How was Datang managed before? Almost all of them control a place, set up a corresponding supreme commander in this place, and then control the soldiers, other than that, the management of the bottom is basically handed over to the locals.

Then register the hukou, and that's basically it, because these nomadic areas are difficult to manage, and it is impossible to follow the system of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, even after ruling for many years, these nomads have no sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, because their living environment has not changed.

"The ministers have no objections." All salute.

"Okay, then I put forward a plan request, this plan is the first five-year plan of Xizhou."

"I demand that within five years, all Chihai cities will be completed, not to mention, the population of Xizhou will exceed 150,000 households, and a city will be established at the bottom of Chihai, Qinghai, and Huangshui Valley."

In addition, the official road from Chihai to Jincheng (Houlanzhou) to Chang'an has all completed the service area improvement plan, and the preliminary construction work of the city has also been completed in Wuqiang. And on the way from Chihai to Wuqiang, at least three small urban strongholds were established and completed. ”

"On the border with Tibet, there are a total of three garrison points, and semi-permanent construction has also been completed."

"In addition, the annual output of salt will exceed 120,000 stones!"

Li Ke said all the things he had planned.

Li Daozong, who listened to these plans, was numb in their scalps, and the construction work of the three cities was not a small job, although the requirements of those two cities may not be so high, but it was not a simple job.

Not to mention the plan to build an official road service area to connect Chang'an, the semi-permanent evolution of three military garrisons, and a total of four small urban strongholds including Wuqiang.

Although these city strongholds, maybe the circle of the city wall is about 700-1400 steps (one step = 1.51 meters = the distance of the left and right feet in a row), and the city wall cannot be as high as the red sea, but this is also the construction of a small city!

Is this going to be done in just five years? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

"Your Highness, isn't this five-year plan a bit too much?" Li Daozong was a little bitter, because he knew that Li Ke would inevitably return to Chang'an after spending the early stage, although Li Ke might not step down as the protector of Xizhou, but he, the deputy protector, was the one who actually did things.

This...... It's a lot of pressure!

"It's not difficult! As long as you do what I say, you'll be busy. Li Ke said categorically, hey, the ancient chariots and horses were very slow, so the ancients also had a bad habit, that is, the efficiency of work was too slow.

Sometimes it's normal for a project to last more than ten years.

Although many times it is for excellence, but in the same way, there are still many things to grind foreign workers.

"Yes!" Li Daozong could only agree.

"By the way, General Xue, your task is not heavy for the time being, but it is not light, that is, to complete this training!" Li Ke took out two revised militia training manuals from behind him and handed them to them.

Of course, this cannot be the full version, there are only training manuals for platoon training, discipline training, etc.

"After you complete these trainings for the soldiers under your command, I will take the time to conduct relevant military training for all the herdsmen in the entire Tuyuhun, not too much, after a month of intensive training, and continue to carry out militarized management in some special work places." Li Ke said.

"Your Highness, I need to go back and study this."

"Well, you can have my bodyguards act as instructors for auxiliary training, they've all mastered it." Li Ke nodded.

"No!"

The reason why Li Ke carried out military training was naturally that he needed these Tuyuhun herdsmen to join the army in the future, and when they formed cavalry to attack Tubo, they could be seamlessly connected at any time.

This business is no stranger to Xue Wanche, because the government military system of the Tang Dynasty is actually a bit like this, there are new government soldiers serving every year, and when there is no war, military training must be carried out during this year.
