After sending Li Tai away, Li Ke sat there. Jinyang's words made Li Ke a little confused. Lao Li didn't really think so, right? Could it be that I have overlooked something during this time? If you think about what Lao Li did for this purpose, there are indeed doubts.
But what Lao Li had been telling him actually made sense. As for the eldest brother, Li Ke thought about it. If the eldest brother was willing to give up the throne, there would definitely be no problem for Lao Li to give it to him directly.
Hiss...thinking about it this way, what a terrible result.
Good guy, am I careless? Does your father want to do this?
Li Ke thought about it, although he said that Jinyang was just talking nonsense, but the so-called hit-and-miss, maybe he just told the truth? Li Ke had read a lot of novels in his previous life, so there were many people who eliminated the correct answer first.
If this is the case... Li Ke felt that he had to take precautions and make preparations first.
But there is still time. Lao Li is only forty now. According to history, he still has nine years. Now that must be much longer than the time he lived in history. Sun Simiao is here, and Queen Changsun's body is also recovering very well. Well, both Changle and Sizi are fine, and Lao Li's health is definitely in better shape.
When Sun Simiao checked Lao Li's health before, Li Ke asked. Sun Simiao said that Li Shimin's health was very good. The foundation he had laid when he led troops to fight in the early years was still there, and Lao Li had attached great importance to health care in the past two years. Sun Simiao gave Lao Li has always practiced the physical exercise method he promoted.
After all, who wouldn’t want to be like Sun Simiao, who will be 100 years old next year! Who wouldn't want to be a hundred years old and still alive and kicking?
Therefore, Li Shimin must have lived much longer than in history. Maybe based on this situation, Li Shimin may have surpassed a certain emperor who reigned for 60 years.
Thinking about it this way, it will take a long time. It will only take a few decades to straighten out the affairs of Datang.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Ke didn't care. No matter what Lao Li thought in his heart, he would definitely not directly make himself the prince. Li Shimin must be very clear about his thoughts. He knew that if he didn't want to, The only way is to make a will at that time.
Because he knew that if he was appointed as the prince in advance, he would definitely find countless ways to resist.
So, whatever, whatever Lao Li thinks, wait until he straightens out the current situation in Datang, mainly to straighten out the situation overseas so that Datang can gain a foothold in the local area and start to popularize culture. Li Ke can find excuses to ignore the matter.
Calculating at that time, Lao Li was only in his fifties at most. After such a long time, Li Ke had many ways to make Li Shimin give up his idea. Jinyang had grown up by that time, and at the worst he could let Jinyang become the empress.
After thinking about the whole situation, Li Ke put this matter in the back of his mind. The top priority was to stabilize the various situations in the Tang Dynasty and sort out these advanced ideas, especially to train a large number of political commissars and similar officials. this point is very important.
Li Ke has now decentralized the political commissar system to companies and even platoon-level units in order to train more political commissars. These political commissars will be mobilized to local areas in emergencies in the future to serve as local officials.
The Tang Dynasty is now vast and sparsely populated, so there is no need to worry about some areas with poor environment. The areas with poor environment can just migrate as a whole.
Take Loulan, for example, where Lop Nur is located in later generations. Because of the Loulan people, the surrounding Populus euphratica has been cut down, and the Peacock Sea (the ancient name of Lop Nur) has almost dried up. Although the Peacock Sea is also a saltwater lake, there may be other lakes around it. of growing plants.
The Tarim River has always flowed into the Peacock Sea. After the Populus euphratica along the way was cut down, the Tarim River stopped flowing, and then gradually became what it was in later generations.
At present, there are still changes in these places. Li Ke, the people of Loulan and other cities, has directly moved them to Yanqi County, which is also near Bosten Lake in later generations. This place originally belonged to the Yanqi Kingdom, but is now Yanqi County. The population is not large, and there is more to support. It doesn't matter if there are only twenty or thirty thousand people.
In addition to their normal plowing, the imperial court hired them to plant trees.
Although Populus euphratica grows in the Gobi and deserts, it actually needs water. It can even grow in rivers. In the ecologically fragile areas around the Taklimakan Desert, Populus euphratica and water complement each other.
So Li Ke doesn’t have to worry about what will happen if there are some impoverished villages in super-poor counties like later generations? Just migrate directly!
Later generations did not migrate because there was no place to move and the population was too large, but the current Tang Dynasty... you can adjust it as you like! It is much simpler to move them out than to find ways to make them rich locally, and this can also retain a large number of nature reserves, which can also be regarded as leaving more pristine areas in the future.
Anyway, with the current land and population of the Tang Dynasty... To be honest, in the next few hundred years, as long as the court does not encourage the population crazily and allows society to develop on its own, it will be difficult for the population of the Tang Dynasty to reach such a high peak as that of later generations.
To be honest, this is also the advantage of the Tang Dynasty. The difficulty of reform is indeed relatively simple. If it were to change to another dynasty, it would not be that simple.
After wiping out the Queen Kingdom and Piao Kingdom, Li Ke thought for a moment. This also meant that many mountain people in South Vietnam could be used. At the beginning of next year, he would start recruiting soldiers to expand the army in Linyi and other places, and the Tang Dynasty's current sixty The standing army of ten thousand was expanded to one million.
With the soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou and other places combined with the expanded soldiers, they can directly enter the mainland of Tianzhu from Piao and other places in up to two years.
Let's not talk about this... It seems that the one blocking the Tang army on their march is Tibet?
Songtsen Gampo is also a talented person. It is said that he is fully implementing the policies of the Tang Dynasty, and not only in terms of policies, but also in terms of popularizing the language of the Tang Dynasty in some languages. And you can’t even mention it, because under the control of the caste system These people are much easier to deal with than later generations.
The main reason is that Songtsan Gampo and the others are ruthless enough. If they don't obey, they will be killed directly. If they obey, they will be given an unprecedented life. No one wants to live a good life, so now that area has been stabilized by Tubo.
According to the continuous intelligence sent from several ports, Tubo has not only stabilized, because they control the excellent farmland in the Ganges Plain, their annual grain and other output is not only enough to eat, but can also be sold to the Tang Dynasty.
It can be seen from these that Songtsen Gampo also felt the benefits of developing the economy first.
