My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 285 Colonial Rule

"Old Li, your pattern is too small!"

Wang Yuan smiled mysteriously, and stretched out a finger to the bewildered Li Shimin, standing between his eyes, attracting his attention.

"Who is this son? The majestic Lord Protector of the Tang Dynasty, a peerless master who even Li Er would worship, with so much money that he could go to fill the sea!"

"Now I'm giving you the chance to ask for whatever you want, but you actually want this number?"

"Are you looking down on me?"

"Look down on Your Majesty!"

"Look down on Xiao Le'er!"

Li Shimin: "???"

He was bewildered.

Shouldn't these words be said by him?
Why is the big dog able to answer quickly?
This rhythm is not right!

Why can even Xiao Leer get involved.

And when did he worship the big dog?
Don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist.

"Lao Li, you must be a man! You must have dreams!"

"What are these copper coins? If you really want those vulgar things, I can make one."

"Wait a moment!"

"Wang Yuan, don't say anything yet, please wait a moment!"

Li Shimin felt more and more that something was wrong, and quickly interrupted Wang Yuan's "chanting of casting spells" with a wave of his hand.

According to his experience of "being cheated" with Gou Dahu for so long.

The big dog must have some kind of conspiracy!
Even if Li Shimin couldn't tell that something was wrong, he could have a hunch!

Because this is the temperament of a big dog!

He didn't even dare to let Wang Yuan go on, he was afraid that he would be fooled.

"Now I want Lao Fang, Lao Sun, and Lao Wei to come over."

"You pause for a moment."

Wang Yuan: "."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin completely ignored the stunned Wang Yuan, walked out of the living room, and asked his subordinates to return to the palace to inform Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, and Wei Zheng to come over.

Now a concrete road has been built between Chang'an City and Lantian County, and it was built with Li Shimin's money.

After the construction of this concrete road is completed, the commuting time is only one-third of the previous time.

Let people go back to inform, and then let the three of them come over, there will be no delay.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the big dog, he also made up an excuse that he paid for it alone.

"Brilliant!"

Wang Yuan, whose spellcasting was interrupted, looked very resentful.

It seems that this old Li has really improved.

He even called people on the spot.

But does that really work?

It's not like he hasn't fooled the people in the old house.

After more than half an hour, all the people arrived.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were all out of breath and rushed to Lantian County.

"Master, could it be that there was an accident in the West Turkic matter?"

The three of them were very scared.

After all, this is the first time His Majesty has sent an urgent letter asking them to come to Lantian County immediately.

If it is said that there is no major event, they will not believe it even if they are beaten to death.

"Western Turks?"

"What happened to the Western Turks?"

Wang Yuan asked someone to pour a cup of tea for the three, and asked in bewilderment:

"Could it be that another moth appeared in the court?"

"what!"

"Prince, don't you know?"

Hearing Wang Yuan's rhetorical question, the three of them were taken aback for a moment.

Why doesn't Prince Wang know anything?
One must know that His Majesty has been out of the palace for Lantian County for at least two and a half hours.

For such a long time, he hasn't talked about how to arrange the Western Turks in this way?

Then His Majesty asked himself to wait for someone to come over, why exactly?
"Then, Mr. Wang, what were you and Lao Li discussing just now?"

"It's impossible to talk about family affairs all the time, right?"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help asking.

What kind of event is it that actually made His Majesty put the issue of Western Turks at the end.

The same is true for Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji, very confused.

Your Majesty's efficiency is too low, isn't it?

Want to call the three of you over to cheer?
"Of course it's a wedding and a betrothal gift~"

Wang Yuan gave the three of them a look: "Isn't this obvious?"

"With Lao Li's brain capacity, I want to talk about these things."

"He was afraid that he couldn't tell me, so he called you over."

Three people: "."

This is so real~
They turned around and took a sneak peek at Li Shimin.

As expected, the latter's face was as black as iron.

It's over, it's like stepping on a thunder when I wait for someone to come.

The corners of the mouths of the three twitched.

His Majesty clearly did not dare to blame the Prince, and planned to vent his anger on himself and others.

"Okay, ignore Lao Li's idiot criticism, and tell me what's wrong with West Turkic?"

Wang Yuan waved his hand and asked Lao Fang and others to talk about the Western Turks first.

Compared to fooling Lao Li, this issue is obviously more important.

"Didn't I make everything clear before?"

"It's all explained one by one, so why are there still problems?"

"My lord, this has nothing to do with your previous strategy."

The three smiled wryly, looked at each other, and said helplessly, "There is a new problem."

"After conquering the Western Turks, the imperial court didn't know how to arrange such a large piece of land."

"Because of this issue, the court is about to quarrel."

"why?"

Wang Yuan was confused by the three of them.

"Such a simple problem can be solved by establishing an Anxi Protectorate?"

In history, Li Shimin's treatment of the Western Turks was to set up the Anxi Protectorate, which basically solved all the problems.

And I have made similar proposals before.

No matter how cerebral palsy the second child is, he can't even copy the answers, right?
"As long as the Anxi Protectorate is established, the population of our Tang Dynasty can be slowly shifted to the west."

"In a few decades, Western Turks will be completely assimilated."

"By then, the entire Altun Grassland will be completely stable."

"Isn't that the obvious solution?"

"really!"

Li Shimin opened his mouth and nodded in agreement.

Although he still wanted to continue talking about the bride price.

But according to the current situation, it is obviously not possible.

It's better to settle this unimportant matter first.

"Prince Wang, your idea is very good, but you have overlooked a problem."

"What's the problem?" Wang Yuan became interested.

"That is, my Tang Dynasty does not have enough officials."

Just after Li Shimin finished speaking, Wang Yuan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

Yes!
How did he forget this crop? !

Indeed, although the current Datang is unprecedentedly powerful, it has a fatal problem.

That is underpopulation!
The birth of talents requires a population base.

Without a sufficient population base, it is difficult to produce top-notch talents.

In fact, it is not a problem. After all, it has only been a few years since the Tang Dynasty ended the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. It has just experienced wars. It will definitely take time for the population to recover.

It only needs to rest and recuperate for a few decades, and this problem will be solved.

According to historical records, the population of Datang did not experience explosive growth until Tang Gaozong and Wu Zhou.

Finally reached its peak in Kaiyuan Prosperity.

However, the current Datang can't wait for decades.

"My lord, do you have a plan for this matter?"

Seeing Wang Yuan lost in thought, Fang Xuanling and the others became very nervous.

If even the prince can't do anything about it, that would be too bad, and there is only one way to go by sending troops to station.

And this will hold back most of Datang's power.

"I was indeed negligent."

Wang Yuan did not deny his mistake: "But it would be an exaggeration to say that there is no way."

"Although it is a bit troublesome, this problem is actually very easy to solve."

"what!"

"My lord, did you think of a way?"

Originally, when they heard the first half sentence, they were very disappointed.

As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, they couldn't help but get excited.

In less than a minute this time, Prince Wang has a solution in his mind?
"Actually, this question is not very difficult."

"The current problem is mainly the shortage of manpower, but the lack of people in Tang Dynasty does not mean that there is a shortage of people in other places!"

"What do you mean?"

Curiosity appeared in the eyes of the four.

Whether there is a shortage of people in other places, what does it have to do with them in Datang?
Could it be that the prince wants to let people from other places manage the Western Turks?
"Could it be that you want to let people from other countries manage the Western Turks? How is this possible?"

Li Shimin chuckled subconsciously.

He knew that Wang Yuan could never mean this, and he just wanted to embarrass Wang Yuan when he said it.

But who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yuan smiled and knocked on the table with his knuckles.

"That's right!"

"That's what I thought!"

"But it's not for people from other countries to manage it, but for the Western Turks to manage it themselves!"

"Since they like to fight among themselves, let them fight among themselves forever!"

"My lord, are you playing with us?"

Hearing these words, the faces of the four of them couldn't hold back.

"Let the Western Turks rule the Western Turks?"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

There is no reason for it.

This method is really outrageous.

Let the Western Turks manage the Western Turks themselves?
Wouldn't that be the same as now when there was no conquest?After all, the land is still theirs.

If after conquering the Western Turks, they still got such a result, why did they have to plan for so long?Wasting so many brain cells?

Is it a pain in the ass?
"You don't understand this."

Wang Yuan shrugged, very helpless, but he didn't mean to laugh at the four of them.

After all, for the ancients, the concept of colonial rule is indeed a bit beyond the outline.

But it is the best way to solve the Western Turkic problem now.

After thinking for more than ten seconds and organizing the language, Wang Yuan explained to the four people who were full of doubts:
"Actually, none of you understand a concept."

"That's what conquest is."

"In theory, as long as you control the country's land, economy and population, it can be called a conquest."

"It doesn't really matter whether these conditions are fulfilled by us Datang officials."

"What really matters is that these conditions can be fulfilled."

"As long as our Tang Dynasty sends 20 troops to station in the Western Turkic King City for a long time, and then support a loyal agent in the Western Turkic royal family."

"Then the control of West Turkic land, economy and population can be accomplished through puppet rule and the threat of force."

"Besides, let our officials of the Tang Dynasty go to the Western Turks, and they are likely to be assassinated, and all kinds of obedience and injustice, it is better to let them toss with themselves, and fight openly and secretly."

"When their strength completely declines due to internal friction, our Great Tang will also develop. At that time, we will be able to send people to implement religious control and turn Western Turks into an inseparable territory of our Great Tang forever."

"But, let the Western Turks rule the Western Turks, how can this work?"

Although Wang Yuan couldn't find anything wrong with these words, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng still couldn't agree.

The main reason is that the essence and theory of this method are far from their inherent concepts.

After all, throughout the ages, there has never been a precedent for laying down land and returning it to the enemy's rule.

"My lord, isn't your method a little too ideal?"

Li Shimin held his forehead and sighed a little:

"Since ancient times, people's hearts have been separated from the belly. How can you be so sure that those Western Turkic people are not obedient on the surface, but secretly stabbing knives?"

After Wang Yuan's assimilation and influence, the current Li Shimin can't trust any of those alien races.

In the past, Tubo was about to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to use the Tang Dynasty as a sword; later, Tianzhu sent poison pills from thousands of miles, trying to poison himself, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

This is still a foreign race that sent a mission to "express goodwill".

More foreign races, such as Goguryeo, Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, etc., are all ready to be stabbed or have already been stabbed.

In such a situation where there are almost enemies on all sides, why does the big dog think that the puppets of the Western Turks will always be loyal to Datang?
"And if one day, the puppet of the Western Turkic royal family we supported stabilized the situation with the help of our Great Tang, and then kicked our Great Tang away from the Altun Grassland, what should we do?"

"In the end, the possibility of our Datang bamboo basket fetching water will only be infinite!"

"Lao Li, you can do it!"

"It's all discovered by you!"

What Lao Li said really shocked Wang Yuan.

"Unexpectedly, Lao Li, you are usually stupid, but you can see these problems very clearly!"

"awesome!"

"It's worth drinking all three of my female buffaloes. It seems that after the heavy metal is discharged, your mind has indeed cleared up a lot."

Li Shimin: "."

Is this hurdle difficult to pass?

Just when he wanted to change the topic back, so as not to go off track again, Wang Yuan spoke first.

"What you said is actually a bit wrong, because the puppet of the Western Turks will betray this matter, it will definitely happen, and there is no need for any doubts at all."

"Since you know that you will definitely betray, why did you propose such a method?"

It was fine if Wang Yuan didn't say this, but when he said it, Li Shimin became angry.

Isn't this deliberately amusing yourself?
"Ha ha!"

Wang Yuan stood up with a light smile, looking very calm, and didn't care about Lao Li's scolding.

"Of course it's because I have a way to make them completely lose their resistance!"

"People's hearts are indeed separated by the belly, but as long as people are so hungry that they can't even walk, and can only stay where they are waiting to die, then no matter how vicious his thoughts are, they are just a joke!"

　Tell me about the latest update.

　　Because the summer vacation is coming soon, there are a lot of exams and homework, and I really feel a little overwhelmed.

　　The daily guarantee is 4000. If I have time, I will try to change it to 6000.

　　Slip away, I feel like I'm going to be beaten to death
