Li Zhi's next proposal also shocked and embarrassed Li Shimin.

He intended to use this opportunity to develop Lingnan and directly dismantle the local clans and tribes' rule over the local area.

Let the people everywhere participate in the work of land reclamation.

Then these people were likewise assigned Yongye Tian and Kou Fentian.

You must know that the clan and tribal leaders of Lingnan have a strong influence in the local area.

Without their consent, the policies of the imperial court could not be conveyed to the local people.

And the means by which these people control the people is precisely by virtue of the large amount of land in their hands.

If this policy were to be made public, it would have provoked an immediate revolt.

At that time, the policies of the imperial court are likely to be misinterpreted by these people, and then encourage the people to rebel with them.

When Li Shimin saw this, he immediately wanted to deny this idea.

He felt that Li Zhi might have just handled the corruption case in Guangzhou City, so he was a little bit upset.

However, as he continued to look down, he began to hesitate again.

Of course, Li Zhi also thought of this possibility.

Therefore, the solution he gave was to carry out the reclamation work to the border areas with these forces first.

Let the armies be deployed on the periphery of these forces.

Then carry out public opinion propaganda within the opposing forces, and first mobilize the emotions of those people.

Wait until the time is ripe to formally issue an order in the name of the imperial court.

It will be difficult for the clan and tribal leaders to gather a large number of followers.

As a result, the clan and tribal leaders either obediently watched the policy go ahead.

Or just wait for the army of the Tang Dynasty to completely wipe them out.

Li Shimin looked at these two proposals and smiled bitterly for a long time.

He really couldn't understand this son.

Judging from Li Zhi's placement of prisoners of war, he was a very kind child.

However, judging from his method of dealing with the clan, he is extremely ruthless.

Li Shimin shook his head and looked at Li Zhi's last suggestion, and found that Li Zhi actually wanted to expand Guangzhou City.

Li Zhi thinks that the current scale of Guangzhou City is too small.

It simply can't match its commercial status.

In the end, Li Shimin reluctantly found that none of Li Zhi's ideas were something he could call the shots.

In the end, I decided to discuss it with Fang Xuanling and others first.

When Fang Xuanling and others read this letter, they also had similar thoughts to Li Shimin.

They also couldn't understand why Li Zhi's ideas were always so different.

After a period of silence, Fang Xuanling spoke first: "Your Majesty, although the first half of this twist and turn is not very well understood, it is still beneficial to the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and continued: "However, the second half of this Weichen is really a little shocked! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I'm afraid that the total number of Tuyuhun prisoners of war will reach sixty or seventy thousand, and it is not appropriate for such a huge number of people to gather together, right?" ”

Wang Qi said: "This expansion of Guangzhou City will be a huge expenditure, and the household department will not be able to come up with the money for the time being!" ”

Hou Junji said: "At present, there are many clans and tribes in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and rashly taking action against the Lingnan clan will definitely cause them dissatisfaction. ”

Chen Shuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "After all, the Tuyuhun people are foreigners, and even if they master agricultural skills, it may be difficult to integrate with the Han people. ”

Li Shimin said: "The resettlement of the Eastern Turks has not been effective before, but now the new measures taken against Tuyuhun can be compared. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Even so, do you need to be placed separately?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Weichen also thinks that it is more appropriate to place them separately. ”

Li Shimin said: "Nowadays, everyone in Lingnan avoids it, and it is difficult to organize immigrants except for the Tuyuhun people!" ”

Dai Xuan said: "According to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, achievements have been made there, why not just call on it to see if anyone is willing to go?" ”

Wang said: "At present, the development of Lingnan has not yet been completed, and it is not appropriate to move in too early. ”

Hou Junji said: "If there is no large number of Han people integrated into the local area, it is best not to rashly do anything to the clan. ”

Li Shimin said: "The population of the various ethnic groups in Lingnan is generally not large, and it is still easy to rule as long as the influence of the clan is eliminated. ”

Hou Junji said: "Even so, don't act rashly, otherwise everyone in other clans will inevitably be in danger." ”

Li Chengqian, who had never spoken, spoke: "There has long been a tacit understanding between the imperial court and the clan and tribe, and the sons think that it can be maintained. ”

Li Shimin rubbed his brows and said, "Having said that, the frequent riots of various tribes also give the imperial court a headache!" ”

Wei Zheng suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that instead of letting the clan constantly harass the imperial court, it is better to simply take this opportunity to suppress it together. ”

Wei Zheng's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

The implementation of Li Zhi's proposal has not yet begun.

No one knows what the final outcome will be.

However, once you decide to try, the knock-on effects are sure to be immediate.

In the unlikely event that the final result is unsatisfactory, it will be very difficult to ease relations with the clans.

However, the ultimate goal of the imperial court must be to gradually disintegrate the power of the clan.

In this way, it seems that it is not impossible for Li Zhi to try it in advance.

If this matter had been discussed before, there would have been no other opinion at all, and they would have vetoed it without hesitation.

However, now that the Dragoons exist, the minds of the people are very different.

Because in the past, the imperial court often needed to suppress a rebellion, which often required a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Easily provoking those tribes will definitely outweigh the losses.

But sending the dragoons out into battle didn't have to worry about supplies at all.

They themselves will be able to feed the war with war.

After a little hesitation, Li Shimin showed a determined look on his face.

I only heard him speak: "The trouble of the clan has always been a stubborn disease of my Tang Dynasty, and it is better to say that the long pain is better than the short pain, so let the pheasant slave try it." ”

At this time, everyone had no idea, so after listening to Li Shimin's words, they all bowed down to receive the order.

After the discussion of the clan was completed, the settlement of prisoners of war was discussed.

In the end, it was decided to simply try it according to Li Zhi's suggestion.

This will also provide a new way of thinking for resolving the national issue in the future.

When it came to the expansion of Guangzhou City, everyone once again made a difficulty.

According to Li Zhi, Guangzhou City is an important port for the future Datang Maritime Trade.

If the scale is too small, it will inevitably make Datang despised by foreign countries.

However, if you want to expand the city of Guangzhou, you will definitely need a lot of money.

With Datang's current finances, how can it be taken out at one time?

Just when everyone's faces were full of sadness, Wang Qi suddenly thought of something.

I only heard him say tentatively: "Your Majesty, the industrial park built by His Royal Highness the King of Jin outside the city does not seem to have made the court pay for it, I don't know..."

After listening to Wang Qi's words, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
