As for Li Tai, he is actually related to Li Chengqian. Li Ke wants to save Li Chengqian, so it is not enough to just solve one Li Chengqian. He must solve Li Tai. Li Chengqian’s problem is not Li Chengqian’s alone. things.
Hey, my Datang, it really breaks my heart.
Li Ke shook his head helplessly, is it easy for me? It’s not easy to be happy!
Naturally, entering the palace went smoothly. This time was not the time to go to court. Li Ke met Li Shimin in Liangyi Palace. It was very rare that Li Shimin was waiting for him outside Liangyi Palace.
Looking at Li Ke, who was tanned a lot but full of energy, Li Shimin was somewhat relieved. This kid has finally grown up!
"Dad, don't say I didn't tell you. I just entered the city and met Changsun Chong. I had a martial arts competition with him." Li Ke said loudly.
Li Shimin: "..."
Chang Lin: "..."
What did I just say? grow up? The illusion must be my illusion. Li Shimin rubbed his forehead. He felt that his temples were starting to throb again.
"Dad, don't be angry. This time it really has nothing to do with me. It's him who insists on competing with me in martial arts." Li Ke hurriedly said, I came all the way back, no credit but hard work, right? You can't beat me again.
"Okay, come in." Li Shimin glared at him angrily.
After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and walked directly into Liangyi Hall.
Li Ke naturally followed with a smile.
Chang Lin was a little speechless and could only say silently, Your Highness King Qin, you are really awesome. No matter where you go, you never forget your original intention.
After entering Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin looked at him and asked, "Where is Li Min?"
"I'm a little seasick. I haven't been feeling very well these days. I originally wanted to say hello to my father and mother, but he can't even ride a horse, so I let him rest first. I'll come to say hello to my father tomorrow, and then Let's go pay homage to my grandfather." Li Ke said, but he didn't expect that Li Min would be seasick, and he couldn't adapt to it for more than 20 days, and he was feeling depressed every day.
"Oh, then let him have a good rest. He can come back tomorrow. Let's talk about it. How is the situation?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.
"There is no problem in Xizhou anymore. According to the current situation, the salt profits in Xizhou this year are enough to support Xizhou's purchase of grain and other materials to stabilize the situation. Here in Xizhou, I have taken the decision to allocate 100 acres of land to all the soldiers who are willing to move to Xizhou. Among them, 50 acres of Yongye farmland, which will help us Tang Dynasty people share the proportion of Xizhou’s population.”
"When the number of Han people in Xizhou reaches a certain level, Xizhou, like Longyou Road, will become one of the fixed territories of our Tang Dynasty."
"In addition, by allocating Yongye cattle, sheep and horses to some herdsmen in Xizhou, these herdsmen have temporarily recognized the Tang Dynasty. There is no possibility of unrest in Xizhou at present. In addition, I have used the method of instigating Tibet to , and temporarily stabilized the Tubo border." Li Ke said.
Li Shimin listened with side eyes. Li Ke's actions were all reported, but it was not very clear in the memorial. Naturally, it was not as clear as Li Ke's face-to-face report. But in a total of six months, to be honest, Li Ke What Ke has done has far exceeded Li Shimin's expectations.
Not to mention anything else, it was already remarkable that Li Ke could complete the salt task in the Red Sea within Li Shimin's expectations. But Li Ke not only accomplished this, but also completely stabilized Xizhou, and he also proposed some suggestions for Xizhou. The strategy was also refreshing to Li Shimin, especially the trick of increasing the proportion of Xizhou's population, which was absolutely brilliant.
"Do you think a similar strategy can be used in the Eastern Turks?" Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked.
"It's possible, but the land of the Eastern Turks is different from that of the Western Continent. We implemented this strategy just after we conquered the Western Continent, but most of the lands of the Eastern Turks have been transferred to the Khans of the Eastern Turks who are willing to submit to me, the Tang Dynasty, to continue to rule. In general, I can't let you, Father, go back on your word." Li Ke thought for a while, feeling a little helpless.
In fact, if the population migrates, it is not impossible. If several important administrative offices are ruled, I dare not say that they will completely control the East Turks. At least the subsequent operations will be much simpler.
The first is the Hetao area in later generations, which is Li Ke's hometown of Houtao. It is within the scope of Bayannur City in later generations. This area has been known as Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall since ancient times. Enough people migrated here to settle down and form a fixed town.
Then there is the Wuyuan. The Wuyuan of the Tang Dynasty is not the Wuyuan of the descendants. The Wuyuan of the descendants is subordinate to Houtao. The Wuyuan or Jiuyuan mentioned in the Tang Dynasty refers to the area near Baotou City, where one can also be stationed.
Then there is Wuchuan, an important town in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In fact, if the army is stationed in these places, it can be cultivated.
Li Shimin thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. Li Ke's strategy could be used in Xizhou, but East Turkestan had no chance at present.
"But it's not that there is no chance. Just figure it out slowly. When the time comes, I will naturally have a way to follow up." Li Ke thought for a while, and East Turkestan was actually easy to solve.
"Well, tell me about the situation in Tubo." Li Shimin said.
Li Ke did not hide anything. Apart from sending people to sneak into Tubo, control the Tubo tribes, and then rebel in this way, Li Ke mainly talked about guiding Songtsen Gampo to fight south, that is, through commercial activities. To monopolize the wealth of Songtsen Gampo, Tubo relied heavily on Datang's trade.
"I don't have any objections to other aspects. Your idea is very reliable, but if you sell a lot of pig iron, it is equivalent to arming them. If we have a conflict with them, are you sure? After all, Tibet will definitely have it by then. Iron armor." Li Shimin frowned.
"Dad, don't worry about this. If I dare to sell them iron, I won't be afraid of their rebellion." Li Ke smiled. Li Daitao's strategy in the mall was just the one with the least sacrifice, and he completely threw away this strategy. , Li Ke can crush Songtsan Gampo if he fights alone.
The simplest point is to play with firepower coverage. As a qualified bunny, how can he not have a phobia of insufficient firepower? Li Ke also has a lot of bows and arrows.
Ancient bows and arrows can also produce fire coverage effects. They can be called the ancient version of Katyusha. Bow-making methods trained in modern craftsmanship can quickly produce a large number of bows and arrows. In fact, it is not the arrows that limited the speed of arrow production in ancient times. It's the arrow shaft, but Li Ke has begun to popularize elementary industrial machine tools in Xizhou. The arrow shafts processed by machine tools are absolutely fast and good.
As long as you have enough arrows and equipped with three-edged armor-piercing iron arrowheads, you can charge if you can.
