Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 418
Shocking, in addition to shocking or shocking, one and a half hours of visiting time is not short, but for the dazzling array of exhibits, it can only be regarded as a fleeting glance, even so, Zhang Jianzhi is still shocked by what he saw and heard Everyone has already taken their seats in the lounge, but their minds have not yet stabilized. The hand holding the glass tea bowl is still trembling slightly, and the brows are full of shock and surprise.

As the actual chief executive of the Royal Palace, Zhang Jianzhi has known for a long time that there is such a core research institute in "Mingdi", and also vaguely knows that there are many novelties in this research institute, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. However, Zhang Jianzhi was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he himself was not too interested in "extraordinary skills", so he would not make a special trip to find out what the core research institutes were researching. He once suggested to Li Xian to cut the astonishingly huge research funding of the institute to save money, but Li Xian never adopted it, but after witnessing the magic of all kinds of firearms and even all kinds of civilian facilities, Zhang Jianzhi was completely convinced. I changed my original view, and my mind has turned to how to maximize the benefits of these magical things. For a while, all kinds of whimsical ideas came one after another, entangled in my mind, so that the whole person seemed a little I'm crazy.

"Are you satisfied with this research institute, sir?"

The core research institute is a secret among secrets. Even in Li Xian's direct lineage, there are not many who are qualified to know that such a research institute exists. As for those who can visit the research institute, only Di Renjie and others Several people were all shocked by the magic in the research institute. The wiser they were, the more deeply they were shocked. Because of this, Li Xian was not at all surprised by Zhang Jianzhi's gaffe. So Zhang Jianzhi was left in a daze for a while, and then he asked a question with a smile.

"Ah, oh, satisfied, satisfied, if all these things are brought out, my national strength of the Tang Dynasty will be at least several times stronger, so why worry about the rampant and rudeness of the Tubo juniors, your highness brought someone here, maybe it is already planned Is it?" Perhaps because of being too excited, Zhang Jianzhi's words were obviously much more than usual, and his tone was full of longing.

Li Xian nodded with a smile and said: "Sir, what you said is not bad. I do have this in mind, but Hexi's foundation is weak, and it is impossible to digest so many new things at once. I plan to take a few steps. First the people's livelihood and then the military industry. There is no shortage of money and wealth, but the lack of ears."

"Lack of people?"

Hearing Li Xian's words, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't help being stunned—the fourteen prefectures in Hexi, although not vast in land and resources, are not small in population. There are more than [-] Han people alone. There are millions of people in all ethnic groups and tribes. Rao Zhang Jian is so wise that he couldn't think of the reason for Li Xian's lack of people.

"That's right, it's a lack of people. Just do the math alone, and you'll know the root cause." Li Xian stretched out a slap, flexed his fingers, and said while counting: "According to the household registration, there are 48 Han people in Hexi, so let's use 50." Well, less than half of them are young and strong men and women, let’s count it as 20, and the standing soldiers are 15. This is ordered by the imperial court and cannot be changed easily. , this will deduct nearly ten thousand, leaving 14, and those who have a lot of family business will deduct another 11, leaving 12 people, which seems to be a lot, but if we want to be self-sufficient in Hexi, we need at least [-]. If the number of ten thousand people is less than this, it is necessary to transport grain from other places, which will cost a lot of money. Even if this is the case, the reclamation will be in short supply. It is very difficult to recruit people on a large scale for production. Well, Guqian captured more than [-] enemies in the previous battle. After the spring, he planned to put them into reclamation to atone for his crimes. Only those who have not made mistakes in the past five years will be freed. However, it is impossible to use it to participate in the production of various secrets, and it is really difficult to make up for the shortage of people."

"Well, what Your Highness said is true, but if all the tribes can be mobilized, it should be possible to solve this disaster."

After being calculated by Li Xian, Zhang Jianzhi immediately calmed down. This calmness immediately discovered the loopholes in Li Xian's algorithm. He frowned slightly and replied thoughtfully.

"What you said is very true. Guzheng suffers from being unable to mobilize the various tribes. If you can solve this problem, it will be Hexi's great fortune. Please give me more trouble."

This is what Li Xian was waiting for. To be honest, Li Xian was really troubled by these tribes that were separated from the rule of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Tubo became stronger and returned to Tubo. Although they are all people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they never listen to orders and cause troubles from time to time. It is not easy to fight if there is no good reason. Li As soon as he made a move on this side, the bullets of "killing the good and pretending to be meritorious" on the other side of the court immediately flew all over the sky, and it was not easy to pull. Zhu'er, who just left, was like psoriasis on his body. It was really troublesome. Li Xian himself had no choice but to count on Zhang Jianzhi to come up with a good idea.

"Well."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Zhang Jianzhi immediately felt that he had been cheated. He gave Li Xian a supercilious look, but he didn't refuse the request. He frowned and fell into deep thought. .

The management of ethnic minorities has always been the most troublesome thing in all dynasties, not to mention the ancient times, even the highly developed economies are difficult to cure, and there will always be some conflicts and troubles from time to time. Li Xian knows it well, and Li Xian is not without ideas. In fact, when he decided to lay his foundation in Hexi, Li Xian had already considered the affairs of the various tribes in Hexi, and there was no way out. It's just that Li Xian thought that he didn't have a high degree of confidence, so he didn't dare to do it blindly. Since this matter is extremely sensitive, Li Xian didn't dare to call everyone to brainstorm easily. He had no choice but to make things difficult for Zhang Jianzhi. One time, seeing Zhang Jianzhi lost in thought at this moment, Li Xianzi would not urge him, but just sat and waited quietly.

"His Royal Highness's question is really too big, and it is difficult to fully grasp it in a hurry. I can only express a few outlines, which may be beneficial."

Zhang Jianzhi pondered for a long time, but his brows still did not open. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and said in a very cautious tone.

"Sir, it's okay to talk, just listen to it."

Li Xianyuan knew that this question was difficult to solve. Seeing that Zhang Jianzhi's words were cautious, although he was slightly disappointed, he would not be offended, and just nodded with a smile.

"The nomads are always lazy, wild and difficult to tame. If they want to use them thoroughly, they must be integrated. To achieve this, they must be educated for a long time. But if they want to adjust and use them, it is not difficult. The only way is to beat and pull. It's just two words. Moreover, the root of the nomadic tribe is in the pasture. If we can start from here, it may be miraculous. It's just a matter of the overall situation, but we can't try it easily. Don’t dare to speak nonsense, please Your Highness please deal with it yourself!”

Zhang Jianzhi stroked his long beard on his chest, frowned slightly, and expressed his thoughts one by one, but in the end he still didn't dare to say that he could solve the problem of nomadic tribes.

"The ranch? Well, the ranch, the ranch..."

Most of the solutions Zhang Jianzhi said were generalizations, and Li Xian already knew about them. Such answers obviously did not satisfy Li Xian, but Li Xian did not blame Zhang Jianzhi either, because This matter has been a difficult problem for ages, and no number of wise men have been able to cure it. How can one expect Zhang Jianzhi to come up with a proper and complete solution in a short period of time? Of course, what Zhang Jianzhi said was not without enlightenment for Li Xian At least the word "pasture" made Li Xian have some hazy thoughts, but it was still difficult to be sure, so he couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a while.

"Sir, according to the law of the court, what is the ownership of the spring and summer pastures that the various ethnic groups often visit?"

After a while, Li Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, he had made a decision, but he didn't rush to say it, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question with a smile.

"According to the theory of granting land, it should belong to the imperial court, but the states in Hexi seldom pay attention to it."

Zhang Jianzhi had read the law well, although he didn't understand what Li Xian asked, but he answered very quickly.

"Well, if that's the case, that means it's under the jurisdiction of my Hexi Governor's Mansion. As far as the law is concerned, if you want to requisition, it's fine?"

Li Xian nodded in satisfaction, and asked with a smile.

"This is the case in the law, but most of these pastures are commonly used by various tribes. If they are forcibly requisitioned, there may be chaos. Your Highness must be more cautious."

Zhang Jianzhi still didn't want to understand what Li Xian was going to do, but he was afraid that Li Xian would make a reckless move, so he hurriedly interjected to persuade him.

"Chaos? That's okay, but I'm not afraid of chaos. Anyone who dares to make chaos will be killed without mercy!" Li Xian sneered, and said something murderous. Seeing Zhang Jianzhi opening his mouth to persuade him, Li Xian waved his hand, Signaling Zhang Jianzhi to speak slowly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face softened, saying: "Since the pasture land belongs to my Tang Dynasty, it is not for the people of Tang Dynasty to use it. If it is expropriated in the name of the Hexi Metropolitan Government The pasture is a horse farm, since there is no legal obstacle, then it is feasible. As for the tribes, if they are recognized as the people of the Tang Dynasty, they can let them enter the horse farm with cattle, sheep and horses. In short, as for the people of various tribes, those who are willing to open up wasteland, send someone to teach them. The regret of lacking people may not be unsolvable!"

"This……"

Hearing that Li Xian had resorted to such a ruthless strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the lake, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't help being taken aback, and for a while really didn't know how to comment on this matter.
