Chapter 1209: Datang's Development Strategy
Sent Li Tai away, Li Ke sat in place, Jinyang's words made Li Ke a little abrupt, Lao Li wouldn't really think so, right? Could it be that I have neglected something during this time? You have to think about what Lao Li did for the purpose of this matter, and there are indeed doubts.
But what Lao Li has been telling him is actually reasonable, as for the eldest brother, Li Ke thought about it, if the eldest brother is willing to give up this throne, Lao Li will definitely not have any problem giving it to him directly.
Hiss...... When you think about it, it's a terrible result.
Good guy, am I careless? My dad wants to do this?
Li Ke pondered, although it was said that Jinyang was just a child's words and nonsense, but the so-called crooked beating was right, maybe he just said the truth? Li Ke had read a lot of novels in his previous life, so it was not for nothing that he ruled out the correct answer in the first place.
If that's the case...... Li Ke felt that he had to take precautions and prepare first.
But there is still time, Lao Li is only forty now, and there are still nine years in history, and now it must be much longer than in history, with Sun Simiao, and the body of Empress Changsun is also recovering very well now, Changle and his son have no problems, and Lao Li's body must be better.
When Sun Simiao checked Lao Li's body before, Li Ke asked, Sun Simiao said that Li Shimin's health is very good, and the foundation laid by leading troops to fight in the early years is still there, and in the past two years, Lao Li has attached great importance to health preservation.
After all, who doesn't want to be like Sun Simiao, who will be 100 years old next year! At the age of 100, who doesn't want to be like this?
Therefore, Li Shimin must have lived much longer than in history, maybe according to this situation, Lao Li Hehe surpassed a certain emperor who reigned for 60 years.
Thinking about it this way, it will take a long time, and it will not take decades for me to straighten out the affairs of Datang.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Ke doesn't matter, no matter what Lao Li thinks in his heart, he will definitely not directly make himself the prince, his thoughts Li Shimin must be very clear, he knows that if he is unwilling, the only way is to make an edict at that time.
Because he knew that if he made himself the crown prince in advance, he would definitely find countless ways to resist.
So, whatever, whatever Lao Li thinks, when he straightens out the current situation of Datang, the main thing is to straighten out these overseas situations, so that Datang can gain a firm foothold in the local area, and after he begins to popularize culture, Li Ke can find an excuse to ignore the follow-up.
At that time, Lao Li was only in his fifties at most, for such a long time, Li Ke had a way to make Li Shimin dispel his thoughts, and at that time, Jinyang had also grown up, and it was a big deal to let Jinyang become the empress.
After thinking about the whole state clearly, Li Ke also put this matter on the back of his mind, and the top priority is to stabilize the various situations in Datang first, and sort out these advanced ideas first, especially it is very important to train a large number of political commissars and similar officials.
Li Ke has now delegated the system of political commissars to companies and even platoon-level units, in order to train more political commissars, and these political commissars will be mobilized to the localities in the future in case of emergencies to act as good hands for local officials.
Datang is now vast and sparsely populated, so there is no need to worry about some areas with a bad environment, and it is good to migrate directly to the areas with a bad environment.
For example, Loulan, that is, the location of Lop Nur in later generations, where because of the Loulan people, the surrounding poplars have been cut down, and the Peacock Sea (ancient name of Lop Nur) has almost dried up, although the Peacock Sea is also a saltwater lake, but there are also plants that can grow around.
The Tarim River has always flowed into the Peacock Sea, and after the poplars along the way were cut down, the Tarim River broke off, and then gradually became what it was for later generations.
At present, there are still changes in these places, and Li Ke, the people of Loulan and other cities, have directly migrated them to Yanqi County, that is, near Bosten Lake in later generations, which originally belonged to Yanqi State, and is now Yanqi County, with a small population, and it doesn't matter if you feed 20,000 or 30,000 more people.
And in addition to their normal farming, it was the imperial court that hired them to start planting trees.
Although Populus euphratica grows in the Gobi and desert, it actually needs water, and even Populus euphratica can grow in rivers, and in these ecologically fragile areas around the Taklamakan Desert, Populus euphratica and water complement each other.
So Li Ke doesn't have to worry about being like some later generations, what if there are some poor villages in super poor counties? Just just migrate!
Later generations did not migrate because there was no place to migrate, and the population was too large, and the current Tang Dynasty ...... Feel free to do it! It is much easier to move them out than to find a way to make them rich locally, and this will allow for the preservation of a large number of nature reserves, which can be considered to leave more pristine areas in the future.
Anyway, with the current land and population of the Tang Dynasty...... To be honest, in the next few hundred years, as long as the imperial court does not frantically encourage the population, but allows the society to develop itself, it will be difficult for the population of the Tang Dynasty to reach such a high peak in later generations.
To be honest, this is also the advantage of the Tang Dynasty, the difficulty of reform is indeed relatively simple, if you change to another dynasty, it is indeed not so simple.
After sweeping away the queen kingdom and the country of Pi, Li Ke thought for a while, which also means that many mountain people in the land of Nanyue can be used, and at the beginning of next year, they will begin to recruit soldiers in Linyi and other places to expand the army, expanding the current standing army of 600,000 in the Tang Dynasty to 1 million.
The soldiers of Liangguang, Yungui and other places combined with the expanded soldiers, they can directly step into the continent of Tianzhu from the country of Piu and other places in two years at most.
Don't talk about this...... It seems that on the way to the army, what is now blocking the Tang army is Tubo?
Songtsen Gampo is also a talent, it is said that he is fully implementing the policies of the Tang Dynasty, and not only in terms of policy, but even in some languages, and you don't want to say it, because these people under the control of the caste system are much easier to deal with than later generations.
The main thing is that Songtsen Gampo is ruthless enough, if they are disobedient, they will be killed directly, and if they are obedient, they will give them an unprecedented life, and no one wants to live a good life, so now that place has been stabilized by Tibet.
According to the information sent from several ports, the Tibetans have not only stabilized, because they control the very good arable land in the Ganges Plain, and their annual grain and other output is now not only enough to eat, but also can be sold to the Tang Dynasty.
From these, it can be seen that Songtsen Gampo also felt the benefits of developing the economy first.
