After a pause, seeing that everyone was listening, Li Ke continued.
"This means that during the time when the Tang Dynasty existed, if the surrounding small countries wanted to record their dates, they would have to use the era of the Tang Dynasty to complete it. It may not be obvious within a few years or ten years, but after a few decades, one or two hundred years, , this impact will completely cover all surrounding small countries."
"It doesn't even take a hundred or two hundred years, because at most five years, the Tang Dynasty will use troops to attack the surrounding areas." Li Ke glanced at everyone.
As soon as the word "fighting" was uttered, everyone became a little commotion.
"I know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than worry about whether Datang will go militarily." Li Ke said in advance.
"I can tell you responsibly, no! First of all, I am cultivating a brand new grain this year, which can produce 25 shi per mu." Li Ke threw a bomb with a smile.
When Li Ke said these words, all the ministers widened their eyes and raised their heads to look at Li Ke, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Don't look at me like this. It's actually the second year of cultivating seeds. The yield per mu has been guaranteed. However, because the number of seeds is small, we are saving seeds every year. In about three years, we can promote planting throughout Datang. To Then there will be no more famine in the Tang Dynasty."
"Second, the craftsmen under my command have improved the iron-making and steel-making technology. According to the current iron-making technology, the curved shaft plow, including the new columbine that will continue to be promoted this year, can be promoted on a large scale. Giving it to the people means that people all over the world can grow food faster and have better harvests.”
"As for armor, in up to three years, I can build a hundred thousand sets of armor made of fine steel, which is no less than the Mingguang Armor!" Li Ke said with a smile.
At this point, all the generals' eyes lit up, and they almost jumped out and screamed.
One hundred thousand sets of armor made of fine steel plates? ! Isn’t this fucking invincible? ! You must know that Mingguang Armor and other armors made of iron sheets can almost be said to be invincible on the battlefield, let alone steel sheets?
"Third, do you know how I negotiated with Tubo to make Tubo be so obedient to the Tang Dynasty this year?" Li Ke asked another question.
"I don't know." Everyone looked at each other.
"It's very simple, just choose a new target for Tubo. I told Tubo that they can buy iron tools from Datang at high prices to forge their armor, and I can even sell them part of the food."
"And what they have to do is to cross the West Kunlun Mountains southward to attack Tianzhu. This is not difficult. Except for a few large dynasties in Tianzhu, no one can fight against Tibet."
"Songtsen Gampo is not a fool. He has to be picky about the weak. They didn't have that vision before. Now I have opened his vision to him and made him hostile to the Tang Dynasty. I have clearly told him that Xizhou belongs to the Tang Dynasty." With what I have in my bag, I am already training 50,000 Tuyuhun herdsmen, and they are all wearing bright light armor. If he wants to fight, he can come."
"On the other side of Tubo, in Tianzhu, there are not many soldiers in the country, but there are many beauties with gold and silver treasures. I believe he can make the right choice."
"And once he attacks Tianzhu, he will definitely get huge benefits in the early stage. At that time, he suddenly realizes, why should he fight with me, Datang? Surrender to me, Datang, and we can provide him with iron tools and food, while he attacks Tianzhu, But he will not fail. But when he continues to expand his attack on Tianzhu, he will find that he will gradually fall into a quagmire and be unable to get out."
At this point, Li Ke stopped.
Many civil servants below took a breath. They never expected that in just half a year in Xizhou, Li Ke not only controlled Xizhou, but also solved Tibet, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty in the southwest. This With one strategy, it can be said that Tubo was completely strangled to death.
Li Ke didn't say anything later, but they all thought that if Tubo wanted to continue to attack Tianzhu, it would need food and iron tools, and these were sold by the Tang Dynasty at high prices, which meant that most of the wealth plundered by Tubo would enter the country. Tang treasury.
Everyone's expression changed somewhat when they saw Li Ke.
"So, I still have a strategy for the next step." A gentle smile appeared on Li Ke's face, which made everyone uncomfortable for a while.
For some reason, Wei Zheng felt a chill in his face when he saw this smile.
"The next strategy is that when the Tang Dynasty takes over the surrounding small countries, in order to strengthen and control these small countries, the Tang Dynasty will establish a state-owned holding commercial bank. The commercial bank will be divided into 100 members, with the state holding 49% and the remaining 51% of the funds were collected from the private sector. After the establishment of the holding company, all the land, minerals and other resources in the small country that Datang subsequently occupied were fully owned by the company." Li Ke's lips twitched. No smile.
All ministers: "..."
Silence, a long silence. They all understand the state-owned commercial banks, and they also understand the 51% who say they collect funds from the private sector, but... who are the people in the world who have funds?
Door! valve! World! Home!
How crazy would it be to have all the land and mineral resources in one country? ! Although the imperial court held 49%, the rest was enough to drive all the wealthy families crazy.
This move meant that Li Ke instantly kidnapped all the powerful families in the world. So at this time...who would object?
A layer of dense sweat formed on Wei Zheng's back, and a chill came over his body. He knew better. His Highness said that he wanted to clean up the powerful family, but now it seems that he is strengthening them again. This is what happened. ...if you take something in advance, you must give it first!
Under the huge and terrifying benefits, even if a wealthy family knows that there may be a pit inside, they will jump in!
What is foreseeable here is that His Highness has set the rules. Once they jump in...
The point is, Wei Zheng also knows about His Highness's other plans, such as the Tang Dynasty's Sleepless City. Will these powerful families oppose it now? For example, if His Highness is planning to build a school before, with this move, will these powerful families still interfere with it?
Leaving aside the military commanders for the moment, all civil servants have powerful families behind them. How can the civil servants object to His Highness's moves? And military generals... what they need is meritorious service! There are meritorious deeds in foreign wars!
One by one, one by one, Wei Zheng has found a clue... It can be said that everyone is in the game and no one can escape.
Wei Zheng could hear the sounds of many officials swallowing saliva as they tried to open their mouths but didn't know what to say.
"So, let's cancel the Zhenguan reign now. Do you agree?" Li Ke gave a fatal blow with a smile.
After a long silence, someone finally asked: "Does your Majesty agree to this?"
"Chang Lin, declare the edict." Li Ke waved his hand with a smile.
Chang Lin was also a little numb and read Li Shimin's edict to change the Zhenguan era name to the Tang era.
Now...no one has any reason to object.
"How's it going? I'll supervise the country to stimulate it, right? It's enough for stimulation. Let's go back and sort it out. We look forward to going to court next time." Li Ke said with a smile.
