Li Tingxue's character is that kind of carefree on the surface, but actually weak on the inside.
For this kind of girl, the best way to comfort is to stay with her.
Therefore, starting from this day, Li Chengqian stayed at Li Tingxue's house.
During the day, sit with her in the carriage and wander around.
At night, sleep in the same bed with her and chat.
Li Tingxue's mood gradually improved.
Li Chengqian was unlucky.
Originally, he promised Li Shimin to let Zhao Youlin go to the Imperial College to study, so he went to the court every day to listen to the court.
But because of Li Tingxue, Li Chengqian didn't go for several days.
This really made old father Li Shimin very angry.
what happened?
Your sister has fallen out of love, so you have a reason to miss work?
Unable to bear it anymore, Li Shimin sent people directly to the palace courtyard and dragged Li Chengqian to the imperial study.
…
In the imperial study room.
Looking at Li Shimin with a black face.
Li Chengqian had a silly smile on his face: "Father, you called me here in such a hurry, what do you mean..."
It was okay if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Li Shimin became even more angry.
{Received anger value +99 from Li Shimin...}
"You still have the nerve to ask?"
"Who promised me to come to court every day?"
"You're traveling around the mountains and rivers, right? You're spending time with your sister in the palace annex every day, right?"
Li Shimin sneered and said, "Do you believe it or not, I will marry her to Xue Yantuo now?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately gave up.
"No, no, Father, I'm wrong, isn't it okay..."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will come to listen to the court, and I won't mess around in the future. I will listen to you..."
Seeing that he admitted his mistake, his attitude was quite correct.
Only then did Li Shimin's furious mood ease.
"Okay, don't talk about those useless nonsense. I called you here today because I have something serious to ask you."
"Um?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Of course it's a matter of what to do with the remaining land after the northerners moved south."
At this time, almost all of Li Chengqian's early proposals began to show results.
The first is the inspection history of the Tang Dynasty, which is shown to great effect in various places.
Secondly, the previous uproar in the country due to the policy of northerners migrating to the south gradually subsided as the first batch of soldiers who fought in Tuyuhun were registered as Tang Dynasty residents.
In today's Tang Dynasty, almost all the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a feeling that a prosperous age is emerging.
While Li Shimin felt satisfied, he also felt a little uneasy.
For example, the old Turkic people in Mobei have moved into the mainland of the Tang Dynasty.
What should be done with the large vacant land?
He also brought this issue to the court for discussion this morning.
But after many discussions, no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
In the end, it was Changsun Wuji who said: "Since His Highness the King of Qin came up with the idea of the people from the north moving south, your Majesty had better ask the King of Qin."
"Maybe he already has the answer?"
Therefore, whether Li Shimin called Li Chengqian to come today had little to do with whether he would come to listen to the court.
His main purpose is actually this.
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Chengqian also reacted.
He looked at Li Shimin with a smile on his face: "It turns out that my father called me here for this reason..."
"Ahem..."
Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "If you have any ideas, tell me immediately. Don't force me to use force."
Out of understanding of Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian must have had an idea for a long time, but he just didn't say it.
Yo ho.
Are you so tough to ask for help?
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "No, I don't have any ideas."
Seeing this, Li Shimin frowned: "Why, do you have to force me to use force?"
When he said this, Li Shimin already had a three-foot-long ruler in his hand.
See this ruler.
Li Chengqian subconsciously took a step back: "Father, why do you still keep this ruler..."
"To deal with some people, this thing is more effective than an imperial edict."
Li Shimin sneered, pointed at Li Chengqian with a ruler and said, "Can I say it now?"
In order not to suffer the pain of flesh and blood.
Li Chengqian could only give in.
He looked at Li Shimin with a naive smile on his face: "Father, I am so good, I will tell you if I have any ideas."
"It's just that this idea I have in mind requires a lot of things to be prepared. Only when these things are prepared can I guarantee to help you solve the problem in Mobei..."
"oh?"
Li Shimin put down his ruler, raised his eyes and asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Before I express my thoughts, I want to ask my father a question."
"what is the problem?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "I want to ask my father, what are the differences between the people of Mobei and my people of the Tang Dynasty."
"the difference?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "The people of our country mainly rely on farming, while the people of Mobei rely on hunting for a living."
Li Chengqian continued to ask: "What do you think, father, the people of Mobei are more powerful, or the people of Tang Dynasty?"
"If we follow common sense, the people of Mobei are naturally more powerful."
Li Shimin was not trying to exaggerate other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige. He was just stating a practical matter.
Li Chengqian also nodded and said: "The grassland nomads have been known for their bravery and fighting skills since ancient times."
"It would be great if the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it can suppress the opponent to the point where it cannot lift its head."
"But if the Central Plains dynasty shows signs of decline, the nomadic people will immediately turn their backs and become a serious problem for the dynasty."
"In this case, we have to consider why they are so powerful."
"Is it because the soil and water have made them taller? Or is it because the nomadic people's arms are all cavalry?"
"Although there are some reasons for this, it is not entirely true."
Li Chengqian said quietly: "The biggest difference between the grassland peoples and the Central Plains peoples is that they are born to fight with the sky, the earth, and people."
"In such continuous struggles, they will naturally develop bravery that others cannot imagine."
"If we want to completely solve the problem of the Northern Desert, the migration of northern people to the south is naturally the first goal, and the second is to eliminate its root causes."
Eliminate its roots?
Where to start?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you have thought of a way?"
"It's natural."
"My idea is very simple, which is to build Mobei into a huge farm."
"The farm is under the control of the state, and the harvested fruits can be sold to the people or used as food reserves for combat."
"At least, the people of the Northern Desert no longer need to hunt and herd, and they no longer need to fight bloody battles for territory."
"They can farm and weave like the people in the Central Plains, live the same life as the people in the Central Plains every day, and receive the same education."
"When the time comes, they will think that they are Tang people, not Turks, and they will fight for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said, "Similarly, even if you give them plenty to eat, they will never be idle. They have gone through the days of licking blood from the edge of a knife."
"After all, no one in this world, including my father, likes war, and no one wants to die on the battlefield, and so do they..."
