Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"The conflict between the wild people in the south and us in the north has occurred in almost every dynasty, intermittently. Since ancient times, there has been no permanent peace."

Du Ruhui continued: "Currently, the system we use in the Southwest is still the previous Jilin Mansion, where the savages are used to rule the savages, but those savages have always been restless."

"As long as the leader of the Liaoren has too much power, there will be rebellion. The only way for the imperial court to suppress it is to send troops to suppress it. Because the climate, customs, customs, etc. are different from those in the Central Plains, there is no way to garrison troops for a long time."

"After the army retreated, the South was ruled by the Liao people again, so we could only continue to use them to govern the South."

Over the past dynasties, the Central Plains dynasty's control over the southern region has not been very strong. If you don't pay attention, or violate some customs, the south will rebel.

Li Shimin had just finished dealing with various disasters, and then received news that the Southwest was rebelling, and he felt exhausted immediately.

"Pass down my order, let Li Xiaogong be the general manager of the Jiannan march, and suppress the rebellious army first."

Li Shimin rubbed his temples, and said: "Keming, the north is not yet completely settled, and the south is in civil strife. The south is high and the water is far away, and the court can't take care of it. We have to find a way to make the southerners completely peaceful!"

From the southwest to Chang'an, it will take half a month at the fastest to deliver a message. The news is not clear, the customs are different, and the climate is different. If something happens, it will be very variable when the Tang army arrives.

"Currently the most effective way to manage the South is to set up the Jisi Mansion so that the leaders of the Liaoren can restrain each other, and at the same time set up more post stations to facilitate the flow of news."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Besides this, I have no other choice."

After these words fell, both the monarch and the ministers in the palace fell silent, and there was nothing they could do about the Southwest and other places for a while.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo please see me!"

At this time, a wrestler came in from the outside and said.

"Could it be that the auxiliary machine also has something to play?"

Li Shimin frowned: "Quick pass!"

"Your Majesty, how to control the southwest... I have a way to control the southwest!"

Changsun Wuji came in and bowed first, then took out Li Yi'an's article, and said, "I found a good method, which can completely solve the unrest in the Southwest, once and for all."

Du Ruhui asked in surprise: "How did Uncle Guo know that the Southwest is in turmoil?"

This is the news that their Ministry of War has just received, before it was announced to the public, Du Ruhui rushed to Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, how could he also know?

"Is there turmoil in the Southwest?"

Changsun Wuji really didn't know, it was all a coincidence, but he didn't bother with it, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Duke Du, listen to me read an article first, and then you will understand what I want to say."

Next, he took out Li Yi'an's "Changing the prison and setting up Liuguan" and read it again in a hearty voice.

Although he was not as emotional as Wei Zheng was at the beginning, the more he read, the more excited he became, and his voice became higher and higher.

At first Li Shimin was able to revise the memorial while listening, but when he heard the key point, he sat up straight again and his breathing gradually became short of breath.

Du Ruhui also reacted similarly to him, staring fixedly at Changsun Wuji, and after the last word was finished, the hall first fell silent again.

"Uncle Guo, where did your article come from?"

Du Ruhui took it from his hands excitedly, looked at it roughly, and continued: "Abolish the Jumi Mansion, set up tenure rules and other officials, and at the same time propose to use the favor order similar to that in the Han Dynasty to continuously weaken the leader of the Liaoren. Real power, gradually disintegrate it, and finally use Confucianism and Taoism to teach people to turn them into kings, learn the three cardinal guides and five constant rules, loyalty, integrity and shame, this is the law of once and for all, and the Southwest will be established forever!"

After all, Du Ruhui shook his hands slightly. They had nothing to do with Southwest just now, and then this article came out, which is too coincidental.

Li Shimin immediately stood up and asked, "Auxiliary machine, who wrote this article? Did you come up with the idea of ​​changing prisons and placing officials?"

Changsun Wuji repented and said: "I don't have this ability either, this is what Chong'er brought back from my husband!"

Mr!

It turned out to be Mr. again!

"Ha ha……"

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, then laughed and said, "So it's sir, he must have figured out my troubles today, and deliberately borrowed the hand of Chang Sun Chong to bring this strategy to me."

If Li Yi'an heard this sentence, he would definitely shake his head, thinking that Your Majesty, you are thinking too much, I just want to educate Chang Sun Chong.

"However, I think there are disadvantages in this strategy!" Changsun Wuji said again.

"There are indeed disadvantages."

Du Ruhui saw it at the first glance, and continued: "Weakening the real power of the leader of the Liao people, or even abolishing them, will affect their interests, and I'm afraid it will cause a large-scale resistance in the southwest region, which is difficult to implement."

Changsun Wuji said again: "It's just that the master still wrote on it that you can try it first and then promote it. I think the pilot promotion is described very well. First find one or two places to test, and if it is feasible, then gradually promote it to the entire Southwest, step by step. , It will be of great benefit to us to civilize the southwest hunters."

Du Ruhui agreed: "I think so too, not to mention that Mr. wrote it in great detail, you can give it a try!"

Li Shimin thought for a while, and decided directly: "I also believe in sir, after Li Xiaogong pacifies the Southwest, try it out first, and then promote it."

Anyway, I believed in Mr.'s plan, it was right, and I never missed it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Honglu is asking to see you."

At this time, Lishi came in again and said.

Hongluqing, that is, the highest official of Honglu Temple, is in charge of foreign guests, court gatherings and festivals, that is, a diplomat.

"Chengfan is here, pass it on!"

Li Shimin said.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Daozong, whose name is Chengfan.

He cupped his hands first, and continued: "Your Majesty, Linyi King Fan Fanzhi has come to Chang'an, and is currently being received by Honglu Temple temporarily. He asks to see His Majesty."

"Lin Yi is here!"

Li Shimin immediately asked, "Where are the Champa rice seeds?"

Li Daozong said: "There is indeed Champa rice in Linyi. This time, the king of Linyi also brought ten stones of Champa rice and [-] local farmers to cultivate new rice for Datang, hoping to make friends with Datang."

Li Shimin's depression dissipated again, and he said excitedly, "Really? How much is Champa rice per mu?"

Li Daozong had obviously asked this question, and said unhurriedly: "According to what King Linyi said, with the local climate of Linyi Kingdom, the yield per mu can be up to three stones!"

Three stones!

Everyone couldn't help taking a breath.

This Zhancheng rice is also too powerful.

At present, Datang's crops have stabilized to produce one stone per mu, which is already thankful.

No matter how much it is, only those fertile lands can produce it.

"According to my understanding, that's just the climate and soil in the south. In the north of the Tang Dynasty, I'm not sure." Li Daozong added.

Even if there are no three stones, like the two stones that Mr. said, it is much better than ordinary crops.

"Daozong, you go back and prepare. I plan to meet King Linyi tomorrow."

Li Shimin thought for a while, then continued: "By the way, we must treat King Linyi with the highest courtesy."

"Your Majesty, this...is not right!"

Du Ruhui suddenly exclaimed.
