Taiwei Yang Qinglin, official secretary Shangshu and Zhongshuling bowed and said, "The minister does not know..."

  

   Li Si didn't mean anything, and said bluntly: "Do you Aiqing have any views on the Turkic grasslands?"

  

   As soon as Li Si's voice fell, the expressions of the three ministers changed slightly.

  

   These three ministers can mix to such a position, no idiot, especially Taiwei Yang Qinglin, has unique knowledge, and even the emperor looks at him with admiration.

  

   At this time, they had only one thought in their hearts: The emperor is going to expand territory...

  

   "Your Majesty, the veteran thought that regarding the Turkic invasion, let King Liang lead an army to go deep into the Turkic grasslands and clean up the major tribes, and it is almost done!"

  

   Zhong Shuling replied respectfully.

  

   Although Zhong Shuling understood the emperor's meaning, he did not dare to follow the emperor's words.

  

  Because, for today's Datang, it is almost impossible to expand the territory.

  

   especially for the Turkic steppe...

  

   Datang sits on the Central Plains region, rich in natural resources and good weather, but what about Turks?

  

   What else is there besides a prairie?

  

   Can food be grown on the grassland?

  

   In fact, throughout the ages, there have been no lack of ambitious emperors who wanted to open up and conquer all the territories they could discover.

  

   But in the end, none of these emperors took any actual action and stopped expanding.

  

   This is not because these emperors are afraid.

  

   But the land value is too low.

  

   For a country, the size of the land is not a measure of a country’s prosperity.

  

   Determine whether the country is prosperous or not depends on the value of the land.

  

  Take the Turkic steppe as an example.

  

   The people of Datang mainly rely on farming.

  

   On the Turkic grasslands, farming is impossible.

  

   In this way, even if the Turkic grasslands are captured, this area is basically useless for Datang.

  

   not only can't generate any value, but it needs Datang to send an army to guard it.

  

   Moreover, the nomadic clan on the grassland is rebellious, even if Datang suppresses it with iron and blood, it will leave hidden dangers.

  

   Therefore, Zhong Shuling pretended not to understand the emperor's words.

  

   It's not that he didn't understand.

  

   but I dare not understand.

  

  If it is because of him, it will lead to the resumption of war in the Tang Dynasty, which will cost the people and money, and the Zhongshu will bear the blame for the death.

  

   Li Si listened to Zhong Shuling's answer, slightly dissatisfied.

  

   Although these officials did not dare to disobey the emperor on the face of it, there was no subjective opinion between the words.

  

   Saying it is the same as not saying it.

  

  If so, what's the point of Li Si calling them over?

  

   However, Li Si also knows that Zhongshu makes his heart worried.

  

   These courtiers, I am afraid that he was interested for a while, and planned to include the Turks in the territory, and finally thanked him...

  

   However, since Li Si dared to say it, of course he was very sure.

  

   "Zhong Shu Ling, what I said is already very clear, do you really do not understand, or do you not understand?" Li Si looked at Zhong Shu Ling, and his tone became cold.

  

   Li Si is not interested in playing Tai Chi with the court officials.

  

  The Turkic incident, if it were just an ordinary invasion, Li Si wouldn't care too much, but the Turkic national teacher actually stretched his hand into the palace.

  

   This has already stepped on the emperor's bottom line.

  

   These Turkic people really do not know how to live or die, and repeatedly provoke Li Si. If Li Si does not take action, he will probably be treated as a soft persimmon.

  

   For Li Si, if he is not my race, his heart must be different.

  

   For foreign races, only by killing and stopping the killing and completely cutting off the cultural heritage of the foreign race can the foreign race be completely assimilated.

  

   It’s just that, if you do this, it will take at least tens of hundreds of years to subtly, before it is possible.

  

   And now, Li Si has no time.

  

   Zhong Shuling heard the emperor’s question, and cold sweat suddenly began to appear.

  

   "Your Majesty, Minister..."

  

   The book in the middle of the book makes he want to talk again, he is thinking about how to tell your majesty, how to dissuade your majesty...

  

   This majesty in the court of today has always been arbitrarily determined by the universe, even if the loyal courtiers of the Hubu Shangshu angered his majesty, he was also demoted as the minister of the Hubu, and now he has been sent to the various envoys to inspect the land.

  

   "Your Majesty... Be careful..."

  

   Zhongshu Ling knelt on the ground with a puff.

  

   "Careful?"

  

   Li Si sneered.

  

   "Do you think that you are a little bit careful, I don't know? Or, you think of me as a fool and call you here without thinking about anything?"

  

   "You are overestimating yourself, you still look down on me."

  

   A cold smile appeared at the corner of Li Si's mouth. Upon seeing this scene, the official Shangshu's legs became weak and he almost collapsed on the ground.

  

Next to the official book, Taiwei Yang Qinglin seemed to have thought of something. He stepped forward and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is completely okay to include the Turkic grassland in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but the minister does not know what your Majesty's plan is to solve. Resistance on the Turkic steppe?"

  

   Yang Qinglin's words made Li Si feel a little more comfortable.

  

   Li Si didn't like that kind of thing the most, and he didn't even ask, he was ready to stop the emperor's courtiers.

  

   Li Si looked at Yang Qinglin and became more satisfied.

  

   This Yang Qinglin not only has ideas, but also has good eyesight. He knows when to say and when not to say.

  

   When the official secretary saw this, he also bowed and said: "The minister thinks that the lieutenant is right, your majesty is ambitious and expands territory for the Tang Dynasty. All those who dare to obstruct it are uneasy!"

  

   The words of Yang Qinglin and the staff of Shangshu made him kneel on the ground, and he was stunned by the Zhongshuling who was about to die.

  

   Why are these people running to support Your Majesty?

  

   Don't they know what the price is for opening up the territory?

  

   Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and said, "Since you want to know, I will talk about it."

  

   "There are many nomadic peoples on the Turkic grasslands, and I will not kill them all."

  

   "I will establish a business on the grassland to exchange information with them. In addition, the people on the grassland can enter my Datang after passing the application."

  

   "My Datang can provide the Turks with convenience, silver, weapons, and even the army... But every Turkic king needs to come to Datang to accept my canonization."

  

   "My Datang can also send Confucian scholars to the depths of the grassland to establish schools to enlighten children on the grassland and promote my Datang culture."

  

   "For the army on the grassland, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com Datang can not intervene, but every soldier needs to come to my Datang for further training. After the training is completed, he can return to the grassland to guard the frontier!"

  

   Li Si said slowly, Tai Wei Yang Qinglin was shocked when he heard these words.

  

   As the current lieutenant, he knew a lot, and he naturally understood that if he really implemented his majesty's ideas, it would be tantamount to firmly grasping the political, economic and cultural aspects of the Turkic in the hands of Datang.

  

   In this way, even if the Turks are still independent of the Tang Dynasty in name, they are in fact no different from being included in the Tang Dynasty.

  

   Moreover, this method does not require Datang to send an army to guard it.

  

   Datang only paid a few merchants and scholars, and could take the entire Turkic in his hands...

  

   After Li Si finished speaking, he scanned the three ministers and continued: "I am going to call these ideas collectively the colonial plan."

  

   "How do you like a few Aiqing?"
