To sum up, it is absolutely impossible for Li Ke to let time delay any further.
"No, Dad, I know what you are thinking. Although time is on our side, time is not on our side either, because our eyes are on the stars and the sea!" Li Ke said proudly.
"Of course, our Datang's current development speed is much faster than that of other countries in the world. After all, our equipment is more advanced and we have completed the basic liberation of productivity."
"With the continuous development of scientific research and industrial sectors, productivity will continue to develop at a high speed. Under such a situation, our Datang's development in one year may not be able to catch up with other countries' development in 20 years or even decades. "
"So, time is definitely on our side."
"But similarly, time is not on our side. For Datang, as long as we develop steadily, we can even gradually take over most of the world and bring all the territories in the world under the rule of Datang."
"Everything in the world is the land of the king. Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers reach, it is all the land of the Tang Dynasty."
"But Datang's current reform is at a critical point. Every time we incorporate a territory into Datang, Datang can quickly keep up. It can be said that the entire territory of Datang is being reformed very quickly."
"And because of the restructuring of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty now have a strong sense of belonging and attachment to the imperial court, and many political orders can be implemented quickly and efficiently."
"For example, the most important thing is population migration." Li Ke looked at everyone and said.
"Prefectures such as Yunnan and Guizhou have more mountainous areas. Although the population in these places is not large, after migrating out, a large number of plain areas are selected for farming. This can make the people live a better life. Some people have an overly concentrated population but do not have a large amount of land. If there are many places, it will be easier to move these people, entire villages, to other plain areas."
"But what if the population of the Tang Dynasty increases? Now the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", the peaceful environment, and sufficient food have allowed the population of the Tang Dynasty to grow rapidly every year."
"With this growth rate, the population of Datang may exceed 100 million in a dozen years! When the population of Datang exceeds 100 million, 200 million, or 300 million, the price we pay for migrating people will be far greater. Way beyond now.”
"Moreover, if the population in some villages and gathering points migrates to the place where they should migrate as soon as possible, then for us, these places can develop at a faster pace."
"If a town's geographical location is not good, the best way is to move out, but if you don't have the energy to move in a short time, should we develop this village or not?"
"If it develops and moves again in the future, will it be a serious waste of the resources of the Tang Dynasty?"
"So I said, time is not on our side, and it is not on our side, and I think your goal should not just be Goguryeo, right? After taking Goguryeo, we, the Tang Dynasty, will have no enemies in the east. This means All migration, development, and planning in the rear area can be planned."
"After stabilizing the rear area, some places even only need to station security troops. A large number of Datang troops can be directly dispatched to the western border. Whether it is the Western Turks or Tianzhu, these are the places we are interested in."
"At that time, the land area of the Tang Dynasty will reach an extent that is unprecedented and unprecedented, and you are all the most important members in creating this prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty."
"So, Goguryeo must be solved next year."
"This is not only an issue with Goguryeo, but also related to the western strategic issue of the entire Tang Dynasty." Li Ke stopped here.
All the military members nearby were excited to hear this. Even an old general like Li Jing, who was about to turn seventy, looked excited, let alone others?
"So everyone, what do you think?!" Li Ke said.
"I think what His Highness said is true. Our Tang Dynasty is now weak and prosperous, and His Highness said before that even twenty years of fighting in the Tang Dynasty is nothing. The current Goguryeo is not the Goguryeo that fought against the Sui Dynasty before. Likewise, My Tang Dynasty is not the former Sui Dynasty."
"I think we can gradually mobilize our troops to go north after the new year. After the spring begins, we can directly start using troops against the entire Goguryeo." Duan Zhixuan said excitedly.
"I think it's okay. Your Highness's words make sense. Our goal in the Tang Dynasty is not just Goguryeo. In the past, Goguryeo was a serious concern of the Tang Dynasty, but now Goguryeo is no longer."
"But it is like a stubborn disease, we must get rid of it first." Liu Hongji also nodded.
"I have no objection, I agree." Chai Shao was concise and concise. He didn't say much, but it could be seen from his expression that Chai Shao was also a little excited by what Li Ke said.
"I don't have any objections, veteran." Li Jing also nodded.
"I don't have a problem, either." Qin Qiong also said.
"I agree with His Highness's opinion." Huo Gang also expressed his position.
Fang Xuanling and the other three looked at each other, and then Changsun Wuji said: "There is not much of a problem on my side, but there should be some problems on Menxiasheng's side."
Wei Zheng: "?"
He glanced at Changsun Wuji suspiciously, "What do you mean?" Although I said I raised objections, I was just confused and asked for a better option. Why was it that my subordinate province had a problem?
"The main problem is supervision." Changsun Wuji said, "There are currently few officials in Menxia Province, and there are insufficient reserves in terms of censors and other aspects. It is very difficult for these officials to supervise a territory as large as the Tang Dynasty."
"As for some new officials, let's not say whether they are suspected of corruption and perversion of the law. Let's just say that when they serve as officials, they must benefit one party. Even if they cannot benefit one party, they should still work hard to maintain local development. If some officials are not corrupt and pervert the law, they must If it doesn’t work in terms of governance, I think it needs to be adjusted and managed.”
"My opinion is, should we select some suitable personnel, or should Zheng Guogong himself select some officials to supplement the work?"
Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment. Is this to increase his power?
"This is simple. It is not suitable to station supervisory officials in various states across the country. In this way, inspection teams can be secretly dispatched to various states in the Tang Dynasty directly in the name of the province. The main task of the inspection team is to secretly investigate some governance situations in each state. Here The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Intelligence will cooperate." Li Ke gave an idea directly.
The issues you mentioned are all very good, but if you want to postpone the process, it’s impossible!
