Chapter 531 Discussing National Policy

Although the assassination incident had a certain impact, it quickly calmed down with the joint efforts of capable ministers and officials. At the same time, the official used the list left by Princess Yicheng and Changsun Wuji to not only eradicate Skynet. This malignant tumor has also destroyed many dark organizations in a follow-up manner; as for the forces secretly developed by Shan Xiongxin, it was also wiped out. For the face of the Qin family, Li Shimin showed the generosity of a great emperor, allowing Shan Yingying to The proprietress of Piaoxiang Pavilion is Shan Yingying's mother and Wang Shichong's daughter. She will stay in prison for life, and the court sentenced her to life imprisonment.

As for state affairs, development is still the main focus at the moment, and only with the support of a strong national power can we be able to unscrupulously conquer the north and south.

Li Shimin is very concerned about the future direction of Datang.As an emperor, Li Shimin is still extremely qualified, especially in employing people and accepting advice, and he has rarely been compared with him throughout the ages.

Since Li Shimin became emperor, the status of admonishing officials has been greatly improved.I'm not afraid that you don't dare to speak out, I'm just afraid that you can't find the fault, even if the problem you pointed out is a bit harsh, don't give him face and make him unable to step down.He will still choose to accept rationally after he is out of breath, and even if he does not accept, he will not cause trouble in turn.Because of this, it has become a custom for ministers to discuss matters and raise advice.

Different from the way the emperors of all dynasties handled things, others only believed in a few of their confidantes, but all important matters were decided by a few people, but Li Shimin liked to speak on the stage, pooling the wisdom of everyone, and discussing a result together.

Developing and cohesive national strength is the first step, but having a correct goal is also the key.

Regarding the choice of this goal, Li Shimin, as always, started a discussion in the court.

For the future, no one has more say than Qin Feng, who lives in Chang'an temporarily.He is familiar with history, and the overall situation is heading for this.In the whole earth and the whole world, unless there is a second traverser, no one has more right to speak than him.

With his existence, Datang can completely overcome the situation of the blind man touching the elephant and directly enter the core of the theme.

"In my opinion, the current goal of my Tang Dynasty should be developed from two aspects..." Qin Feng stood up after several prime ministers expressed their opinions, and said: "The main direction is to vigorously develop the Silk Road and develop the Western Regions. Use the Silk Road to promote the development and exchange between the East and the West. As long as the Silk Road is unimpeded, the goods traded between the East and the West can greatly increase the economy of our Tang Dynasty. We all know that there are few people in the Tang Dynasty. Many excellent and good things are sold because of market saturation. In the event of bankruptcy, we can transport these things to the West, and then buy the things we need from the West, which is mutually beneficial. I, Datang, will not worry about economic matters.”

China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and has inherent advantages in crops.As long as there is no catastrophe, self-sufficiency is perfectly fine.The economy is the biggest shortcoming, but the economy is the key to a country's top priority, and there must be no mistakes.

Foreign trade is a trading channel that must be opened after a country's economy is saturated, and the Silk Road exists for this reason.

It's not that there are people who understand this point, but the Silk Road is complicated and intertwined, and the relations among the countries in the Western Regions are chaotic. The Tang Dynasty has not yet controlled the power and prestige of the Western Regions, so most people say it very tactfully and slowly.

Qin Feng pointed it out directly, facing Li Shimin who was on the throne, and facing the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty: "It is true that the Western Regions are chaotic and complicated, but the opening of the Silk Road is beneficial and harmless to most countries. My Tang Dynasty is lavish. We can get their support. If we are timid and develop slowly, they will despise us instead. As for the opening of the Silk Road, it will involve the interests of some people and interfere with it. This is a [-]% thing, so there is no need to doubt it. Tuyuhun, the last thing Tuyuhun wants to see is that the Silk Road is unobstructed. If the Silk Road is opened, they will definitely interfere. But so what, in this kind of overall development, encountering situations is inevitable. What we have to do is Overcome instead of backing down. Tuyuhun comes in the way, we just kick it away."

Li Shimin is full of ambitions, and agrees with Qin Feng's domineering point of view very much, he nodded and said: "Keep talking!"

Qin Feng said: "The second point is also very important, but it can't be rushed. It really needs to be developed slowly. The Silk Road is the key to foreign trade and will become one of the economic lifelines of the Tang Dynasty in the future. But just as you are worried Just like the same, the Western Regions are not peaceful, the relationship is intricate, and the wars continue, which can easily cause the blockage of the Silk Road. My Datang economy will also be affected to a certain extent... This proverb is good, people cannot hang themselves on a tree. The Han Dynasty was able to open the Silk Road, so can’t we? They developed to the west, but we can go to the east... The second point is the navigation industry. Make big ships that can withstand the wind and waves, and sail to the sea. Open one or even countless roads The Silk Road on the sea... The sea is vast, and you can gallop at will. The world is so big, and countless countries are the objects of my Tang Dynasty's trade. Not only can I spread the culture of my Tang Dynasty, but also get enough profits. The key shipping Manpower and material resources are far inferior to land transportation..."

Qin Feng spoke with a bit of enthusiasm, and the whole hall was suddenly silent.

This breaks the local restrictions and the opening of the Silk Road is the general trend in this era.

After all, the times are progressing, and the direction of thinking must also progress with the progress of the times.In a powerful and prosperous country, if you rely on your own strength and stand still, one day it will become a thing of the past, and people will be trampled under their feet and unable to turn over.

It is imperative to spread the culture and sell the special products of one's own country to stimulate the economy of the dynastic country.

Especially after the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, the population dropped sharply, and the market demand was too small, and it was easy to enter a period of saturation.In this period of saturation, foreign trade is needed to make up for this gap, and it is imperative to re-open the Silk Road.

In this era, there is no shortage of far-sighted people, and there are not a few who see through this point.The previous discussion also mentioned this matter. Compared with what they said, Qin Feng was more certain. It is not a big deal, but the development of the Maritime Silk Road is a bit shocking.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no maritime trade at all. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty sent merchant ships to sea. However, due to technological reasons, the shipbuilding industry at that time was far from enough to produce large ships that could withstand strong winds and waves.The most important thing is that the eyes of God see it so clearly, and there is no development in that direction and consideration in that direction.After all, in ancient times, before the Song Dynasty, the core of the development of the Chinese dynasty was the Guanzhong Northland in the northwest and the Central Plains. Jiangnan was a remote area and not the center of development.The most critical part of sailing lies in the generation of Jiangnan.The south of the Yangtze River has not yet developed, so what about sailing?
In Qin Feng's memory, the development of Jiangnan originated after the Anshi Rebellion.The Anshi Rebellion, which lasted seven or eight years, caused serious damage to Guanzhong and Beidi.The people moved south and the economy moved south.It was also interrupted by the overland Silk Road.The Maritime Silk Road also took off.In the Song Dynasty, especially the Southern Song Dynasty.As a remote dynasty.Their economy can not be affected by the region at all, and the profits brought by sailing to them are immeasurable.

As a later generation, Qin Feng clearly understands that the sea route has a large volume, low cost and high safety, which is more convenient than the land route Silk Road, and the sooner it develops, the better it will be for the country.However, based on the current situation, there are certain problems in the opening of the Maritime Silk Road.

The current shipbuilding technology is underdeveloped, the navigation technology such as the compass and the water-sealed cabin are not in place, and the navigation knowledge such as astronomy and geography is also zero.

Even if Qin Feng understands that sailing is the general trend of the future, he doesn't dare to drive the Communist Party rashly.Don't be too hasty.As a result, an incalculable disaster was caused, but he couldn't help but say it.If you don't talk about it, you will inevitably have to take a lot of detours, so it is suggested to take it slowly.Even so, Chao Wenwu was still in shock and stunned for a while.The development of the maritime industry that Qin Feng mentioned is something beyond this period.

Li Shimin, an excellent king, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other heroes of the world were all a little surprised, let alone the others.Most of them couldn't clearly and rationally judge whether what Luo Shixin said was reasonable, and they couldn't speak if they couldn't judge.

In the end Fang Xuanling said: "Why does the chief executive have such an idea?"

Qin Feng bowed back and said: "Many years ago, I met a strange man named Zheng He. He was a traveler and businessman. He liked to travel around and traveled to many countries. According to him, the sea is vast and omnipresent. , as long as there is a boat that can withstand the wind and waves. You can reach many places through the convenience of the sea. I think that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions. Only then did we know that there is still a vast world in the west of the Western Regions. How is this east of the sea? Is there no heaven and earth? What the Han Dynasty could do. They can do the same. It just takes time to accumulate. I believe that as long as we have the heart, we will eventually achieve results. But if we don’t do anything, nothing will succeed. "

What Zheng He said was nonsense. He couldn't say that he came from time travel. He knew the direction of the future, so he had to bring out Zheng He, a man who had made seven voyages to the West, to increase his persuasiveness.

Regarding Qin Feng's second proposal, Li Shimin did not immediately agree.This kind of major national policy is not decided lightly and hastily.In terms of public and private matters, the emperor Li Shimin has always distinguished clearly. Even if he has a good relationship with Luo Shixin, if he trusts him, he will not blindly listen to his one-sided words and postpone the matter for a few days to renegotiate.

Develop westward and vigorously develop the overland Silk Road, but this one is useless.

At the end of the court meeting that day, Li Shimin sent envoys to the west to lay the foundation for the opening of the Silk Road.

At the same time, the deployment of troops in the Western Regions was also strengthened.

After the dynasty was over, Li Shimin summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Qin Feng and Prince Li Chengqian to continue their meeting in Ganlu Hall.
