Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 461 The real goal

Once a person sits on the throne of the emperor, his mentality may be different. Lin Sen can clearly feel that Li Chengqian's attitude towards him is different from before.
I don't know if it was because the two were too close before, or because Lin Sen's identity as the "time traveler" was known to him, and he became a little jealous and a little uncomfortable.

The reason why Lin Sen deliberately showed some incredible power in front of everyone this time is to prevent Li Chengqian from killing donkeys in the future, or because Lin Sen has nothing to fear, so that he can get rid of them The whole family has no future troubles in mind.

Lin Sen has never been afraid to use the utmost malice to speculate on the minds of the people who sit in the emperor's position. This can also be seen from the many insane things that so many people can do for this chair. What's more, after he has the supreme right.

Lin Sen has no intention of being an existence above the imperial power, that is what it means to be with any emperor forever, Lin Sen will use his own performance to show his attitude.
But he also doesn't want himself to become an abandoned son at any time, after all, behind him are his wife, children, and the wealth and lives of a group of farmers.

Although this degree is not easy to grasp, he still hopes that with Li Chengqian, who has a relatively close relationship, he can establish this kind of positioning between them, so as to avoid irreconcilable conflicts breaking out in the future, and they will be in a life-and-death situation.

After returning to Chang'an City with the victory report, Lin Sen was of course called into the palace again. After talking loudly about Tang Jun's achievements in front of all the ministers, Lin Sen was called into the harem again by the beaming Li Chengqian, and the beginning of the battle began. Have a long talk.

As for how Anshicheng was broken in the end, although Lin Sen was vague about this point, Li Chengqian still understood that there was something hidden in it, and made it clear that it was related to Lin Sen himself. Of course, it is better to ask in private.

Lin Sen then truthfully explained the process of Anshi City being breached. As for how he broke down that section of the city wall, Lin Sen did not give a detailed explanation. Identity has something to do with it.

It may be that he has special abilities, just like Li Chengqian's younger brother Li Zhi who can't die anymore, or it may be that some cultural knowledge from later generations that he cannot understand is at work.

In short, Lin Sen's goal was achieved. Although Li Chengqian couldn't see it on the surface, he did have a little more fear of Lin Sen.

However, Lin Sen's own posture was rather low. Li Chengqian had made this point on purpose, and he probably understood what Lin Sen meant.

In fact, Lin Sen was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, just like when Li Shimin found out his identity as a time traveler, Lin Sen was really careful and on guard the whole time.

Even with Li Chengqian's specially approved vacation, he went back to visit his wife and children early, but he didn't relax completely. Instead, he kept Zhuangzi on guard for a while.

It wasn't until the triumphant army returned and Lin Family Village didn't receive any attacks that Lin Sen was finally relieved.

It seems that this trial has achieved the desired result.

Especially after the next step about Goguryeo was arranged, Lin Sen was even more sure of his judgment.

In fact, Lin Sen was also looking forward to the elimination of Goguryeo, but thinking of an analysis that later generations had seen, Lin Sen took it as a possibility and told Li Chengqian, of course, it was just a suggestion.

In fact, Goguryeo’s harm to Datang was very limited. There was originally a buffer zone between the actual control area of ​​Datang and Goguryeo, and in the middle were the local ethnic groups such as Khitan and Mohe.

Even if an accident happened to the Central Plains, when it fell apart, it was unlikely that Goguryeo would take advantage of it. On the contrary, those grassland peoples and the Mohe people would be more harmful.

Especially if Goguryeo is completely wiped out, and there is no farming regime in the Northeast to curb the development of barbaric peoples such as Mohe and Khitan, and give them enough space and time, wait until the Khitan and Mohe really rise. The influence of the hinterland of the Central Plains is really big.

As we all know, the two great alien races in the later generations entered the Central Plains, and it was from this piece of white mountains and black waters that they began to make their fortunes.

Before Datang's population increased on a large scale and the land could not meet people's needs, even if it occupied the territory of Goguryeo, it was difficult to have enough manpower to migrate to the local area to effectively rule and develop it.

Then after this regime is destroyed, it is very likely that barbarians such as Mohe and Khitan will be cheaper for nothing.

Instead of this, it is better to use the good method that the Tang Dynasty has always used on the grassland before, or to play the trick of sowing dissension and driving tigers and wolves away, so that the Khitan and Mohe people can fight against Goguryeo, and consume each other's strength. It is more in line with Datang's interests.

While curbing their development, it can also buy more time for the development and strength of Datang.

With Datang's current grain output, there is a solid foundation to support large-scale population growth, or even an outbreak.

Just looking at the growth rate of Datang's population in recent years, it can be seen that the growth in recent years is even equal to the previous ten or twenty years.

I believe that it won't be long before Datang's existing land can no longer meet the needs of newbies.

At that time, external expansion and emigration will become inevitable, and there is no need for Datang officials to forcefully promote it.

As long as the already weakened Goguryeo and Baekje are taken advantage of the situation, coupled with appropriate guidance, it should not be a big problem for the people of Datang to "break through the Guandong" spontaneously.

At that time, whether Silla, a friendly neighbor, will go or stay will not be all in the mind of Datang.

The immediate priority is not to win the white sand and black water, but the Wa country.

When Lin Sen gave Li Chengqian a detailed description of the large-yield, easy-to-mine, and abundant gold, silver and copper mines in the Wa country, even Li Chengqian, who was used to seeing these extraneous things, became short of breath. The eyes turned red because of greed.

The scale of Shi Jian Yinshan is gradually expanding, and the silver brought back has made him, the emperor, unable to calm down, and he is paying more and more attention to that side.

There are still so many mines that are not worse than it. That’s not to say, he must be beaten. This is the real benefit.

It just so happened that the Wa Kingdom dared to send a navy to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they were all sunk, that would not work.
What's more, I heard that in the Sui Dynasty, the so-called "emperor" of the Wa country was very arrogant.

Is it right to lay down a few important mines first, and by the way, gather some defeated soldiers from the local area to become mine slaves, and make more contributions to the development of Datang?

Li Chengqian was also fed up with the small troubles at Shijian Yinshan, and he wanted to sneak over to catch miners from other places, which really affected the efficiency of mining.

While ordering Dengzhou and Laizhou to continue building ships, Datang's navy launched together with many large and small ships, and with a full force of Tang soldiers, they paid for the Wa Kingdom.
