Listening to this kid's ramblings, where he was daydreaming, and where he wanted to take care of his two daughters, Li Shimin wanted to kick this brat out——
Forget it, because he drank too much, I don't want to be on the same level as him.
Everyone was almost stunned.
This brat, is he seeking death?
Say this in front of the emperor?
Everyone here is Li Shimin's confidant. Who doesn't know that the so-called son-in-law in the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County is actually Li Shimin's son-in-law?
Marrying Princess Yuzhang and the young lady from Duke Su's palace at the same time is already a lucky break. It's unbelievable. This guy actually wants to marry Princess Changle as his concubine?
Just when they were waiting for Li Shimin to get furious, they saw Li Shimin snorting angrily while lifting the jug and serving it to the prince.
"You'd better wake up - this is impossible..."
Everyone:…
Your Majesty, you can bear this!
"What's impossible? I'm telling you, Lao Li, you can't push back on our Zian's affairs..."
Don't interfere with your son-in-law's request, just support him!
As soon as Cheng Yaojin stepped through the door, he didn't even hear what the two people in front of him said. He heard Li Shimin saying to Wang Zi'an that it was impossible.
How can this be done?
Without saying a word, he directly stood up for his son-in-law.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Li Shimin was also angry and funny. This old man has never been so concerned about helping his son get a title!
Although Fang Xuanling also wanted to complain, he was currently focused on how to formulate the plan in Mobei. He was afraid that the topic would get further and further away, so he quickly coughed twice and stopped the topic.
"I just heard the young master say that the Protectorate of the Han Dynasty was just a temporary government. So in the young master's opinion, how should the court deal with it——"
Wang Zi'an was not familiar with Fang Xuanling, so he felt a little uncomfortable teasing her randomly. He pondered for a moment and considered his words.
"The Protectorate of the Han Dynasty focused on protection. It used strong military force to intimidate foreigners and protect trade routes. Therefore, when the Han Dynasty perished, the policy was terminated. The Western Regions once again fell into turmoil and chaos, and failed to truly integrate with the Central Plains. One body..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an picked up a cold dish with chopsticks, then stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Come on, don't be stunned, let's chat while eating..."
When it comes to bragging, of course, it’s better to brag while drinking, which will create more atmosphere and feeling. Although Wang Zi'an knew that there were a group of big guys sitting around him, he still didn't want to make the wine shop so serious.
Only then did Li Shimin realize that his group of people seemed to have acted a little too seriously just now, which was not in line with their character. Fortunately, Wang Zi'an seemed to have drunk too much, so he didn't suspect anything. Well, fortunately!
"Come, let's go together -"
Li Shimin also quickly raised his chopsticks to greet him.
Everyone:…
I really can’t eat anymore!
Then, everyone picked up their chopsticks with a forced smile and made an expression of being addicted to food.
Fortunately, Wang Zi'an and Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to this, so they breathed a sigh of relief. You can still drink a little wine, but if you can't eat the food, you won't eat it.
"So, if the imperial court really wants to settle things once and for all and consider the long-term interests of future generations, copying the Han Dynasty Protectorate is definitely not the best idea..."
"Then from the young master's point of view, what should I do?"
Fang Xuanling subconsciously leaned forward, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Wang Zi'an glanced at Fang Xuanling, and then looked again. Although they were pretending to eat food and drink, these big guys had their ears pricked up, and there was a smile on their faces.
"Establish the Mobei Governor's Mansion——"
Governor's Mansion?
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.
The Governor's Mansion is not a new thing. During the Takenori period, more than 40 of them had been set up across the country. Although there were some adjustments after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the number was still quite large.
Can the problem of Mobei be solved by setting up a governor's office?
Seeing everyone's disapproval, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and gently put down his wine glass.
Pretend—ahem, it’s time to show off your real skills!
"My Governor's Mansion is different from the current Governor's Mansion——"
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he glanced at the big guys in front of him, and when he saw them all looking over, he coughed dryly and continued calmly.
"Why did the Turks become a hidden danger in the Central Plains and repeatedly invade the borders? There may be many reasons, but the most critical factor is that his tribe is too powerful. Because it is big, it is strong..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an showed a serious look on his face.
"So, on the basis of maintaining the deterrence of force, the governor's office will remove the state and establish counties, divide the original Turkic tribes into more than a dozen, or even dozens, and divide and rule them. At the same time..."
Divide and conquer?
Li Shimin and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Once a large tribe is divided into several, or even dozens of small tribes, it will become a mess. With their own interests, it will be difficult to concentrate their strength.
Even Cheng Yaojin, who liked to interrupt, rarely interrupted Wang Zi'an's words. Wang Zi'an couldn't help but secretly pouted, it was really boring, there was no one who knew how to praise it.
He secretly complained in his heart and had no choice but to continue.
"At the same time, we divide them into three, six or nine levels according to the situation. People of different levels have different rights. Some people can even be allowed to enter the county government to assist in the management of local people..."
"Wonderful - this way, their attention will be focused on the internal struggle, and everyone will try their best to climb up -"
Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately understood what Wang Zi'an meant and couldn't help but marvel. Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly nod, this method really has merit.
"However, these are just measures to restrain the government. They treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If we want to solve the problem once and for all, the most important thing is to look at three policies——"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an straightened his back and spoke almost every word.
"Build a city, live together, and calm the people——"
"Cast City?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, and Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Mobei is extremely cold, bricks and stones are hard to find, and even after the city was built, it is of little use. Not only is Mobei vast and sparsely populated, but the herdsmen live by the water..."
Although this kid was smart and had many clever ideas, he was still too young. Wei Zheng couldn't help but remind him.
When Wang Zian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Although Mobei is extremely cold, it is rich in underground coal and iron resources. There are only a few places I know of. We only need to use local materials, dig charcoal and bake bricks. With hundreds of thousands of captives here, we can build a mountain in the desert in just a few dozen days." Several or even a dozen large cities were erected in the north..."
