Chapter 578

"Tell your majesty that Tuyuhun has been settled now. I don't know how to place Tuyuhun!" Fang Xuanling bowed and said.

He is the first of all officials. Now that the war is over, it's time to consider how to deal with Tuyuhun.

As soon as Fang Xuanling's voice fell, all officials couldn't help but cheer up. This is the important thing to discuss today. Even Li Shimin couldn't help breathing. Tuyuhun covers thousands of miles, equivalent to 10% of the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is mostly a barren desert, there are rare grasslands. If it can be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it would be a great achievement.

Su Lingnong stood out and said, "Your Majesty, in the view of the old minister, why should we discuss this matter? We have the power of the Tang Dynasty to calm Tuyuhun. How can we feed the tiger again? Why not follow the previous dynasty and reset the four counties of Qinghai in Tuyuhun's old land and bring them under the rule of the Tang Dynasty!"

For farmers, the most unforgivable land, can have more land, can have the foundation for the development and growth of farmers, and there are many cattle and sheep in Qinghai, and the key to solving night blindness lies in meat.

"Your Majesty, never!" retorted censor Quan Wanji. "Yang Guang is tyrannical. How can we follow his plan? In addition, although Yang Guang sets up counties in Tuyuhun, it is in vain. If the government orders do not come out and wait for the city, he can't control the land of Qinghai at all."

Li Shimin could not help frowning. The rule of Tuyuhun in the Sui Dynasty was very weak, otherwise he would not be easily recaptured by Fuyun, who was like a lost dog.

Su Lingnong shook his head and retorted, "at one time and another, Tuyuhun is remote and inconvenient to travel. Now our Datang brick road is unblocked. It takes only three days to travel day and night from Chang'an city to Lanzhou. Once there is a change in Qinghai, the imperial court can be relieved in the shortest time."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. The best distance for the imperial court to control the place is to arrive in seven days. Even in the farthest Lingnan Road, some news has been sent back to Chang'an City for half a month. In this way, Tuyuhun is not too far from Chang'an city.

Although the terrain of Qinghai is vast, it's a big deal to build another brick road. With countless cattle and sheep from Qinghai imported into Datang, this business is very cost-effective.

"Our graduation is to attack Tuyuhun and invade the border. If we destroy his country and occupy his land, I'm afraid it will frighten the countries in the western regions and is not conducive to the stability of the border of the Tang Dynasty."

Many literary ministers spoke one after another, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and then went to the border to stabilize and oppose the direct occupation of Tuyuhun.

Many courtiers were also shaken by it and spoke out against the establishment of prefectures and counties. Even Li Shimin couldn't help worrying about three points.

"What do you think of Aiqing!" Li Shimin turned his eyes to Wei Zheng in the front row. They are the real pillars of the Tang Dynasty. Once Li Shimin has something to decide, he will ask several more.

"Tell your majesty, if we directly reset the four counties in Qinghai, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the local tribes, which is not conducive to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't your majesty let Murong Shun restore the country and help the army. Murong Shun doesn't have a foundation in Tuyuhun, so we can only rely on the Tang Dynasty. First, I can guarantee the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and second, I can support Tuyuhun and defend the western border." Wei Zheng said proudly.

This is a plan he has been thinking about for a long time. It is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Yes, we can follow the example of Turks." Xiao Ying nodded in agreement.

For such things, Xiao Yu is the most persuasive. He is a descendant of the former Liang Dynasty and the younger brother of empress Xiao. After Nanliang was destroyed by Li Jing, he was not held accountable, but was reused by Li Shimin as a prime minister.

"Turkic example!"

The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty could not help nodding slightly. When the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, it was only because they sent troops to make a surprise attack, broke the Turks' tooth tent, captured Jieli Khan, but did not occupy an inch of Turks' land. This solved the border problem in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty for ten years, won the respect of the northwest, and was honored as Tian Khan by the northwest.

For a while, most of the ministers tended to Wei Zheng's plan.

"I object!"

A minister who surprised everyone came out.

"Grandson Wuji!"

When man Chaodun was stunned, he didn't expect that he would oppose it. Even Li Shimin couldn't help but look sideways. Changsun Wuji ranked first among the meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. No one can surpass him in terms of its weight.

The eldest sun Wuji said proudly, "tell your majesty, we didn't occupy an inch of Turkic grassland at that time, because Turkic strength was not damaged at the beginning, and Xue yantuo and tiele's nine surnames were eyeing, which was a last resort. Now we have a long-distance expedition in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles and return with our heads. There is no resistance in Qinghai. If we don't take it, we will be punished by heaven."

"Not bad!" Qin Qiong nodded.

Many people in the military also agreed one after another. Even Dai Zhou nodded one after another. Datang almost emptied the Treasury for the western expedition. How can he return empty handed? If he doesn't get some money for the Treasury, I'm afraid Datang will go bankrupt.

"Moreover, now Wei Chen is managing the Yellow River in Guanlong, but he found that Guanlong has a large population and the land has become increasingly barren. Only continuous reclamation of wasteland can make a living. Now the imperial court prohibits reclamation and restores vegetation. People's livelihood is cut off, and they can only move out." Sun Wuji paused and said loudly.

"The land of Qinghai is the only way for the people in Longyou."

When sun Wuji finished, the ministers could not help but be silent. All the reasons on their lips were eclipsed in the imperial court's Centennial plan to govern the Yellow River.

The harm of the Yellow River has a long history. Although there is a flood discharge method donated by the MOH family, everyone knows that this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. It is July now, when there is the most rain in the north of Datang. In more than a month, the Yellow River has been in danger more than ten times. The dike of Qucun village has been dug for flood discharge, but there is too much rain this year, The water level of the Yellow River remains high.

The harm of the Yellow River hangs over the head of the Tang Dynasty. The court has long reached an agreement to govern the Yellow River. However, there are many difficulties in Guanlong. The most fundamental reason is that there are many people and less land in Guanlong.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has finally obtained the land of Qinghai. How can the Guanlong aristocratic family, which controls the land of Guanlong, be let go easily? With the land of Qinghai, the Guanlong aristocratic family has found the direction of expansion, and the people in Longyou have found a way to live. Third, the process of promoting and controlling the Yellow River by the imperial court must be greatly accelerated.

Most of the people in the land of Guanlong are half farming and half grazing. Grazing in the land of Qinghai can certainly take root quickly. Moreover, the land of Guanlong is very close to the land of Qinghai, and the resistance of the migrating people is very small.

Li Shimin secretly calculated that the balance in his heart had slowly tended to swallow Tuyuhun.

Some officials of Shandong aristocratic family couldn't help but worry. If Li Shimin adopted the opinion of changsun Wuji, their plan to clamp down on Guanlong aristocratic family might have failed. Many officials' eyes turned sharply. Kong Yingda was about to come forward to refute when another bodyguard rushed into the Tai Chi hall.

"Report! Hurry up! Tell your majesty that the Yellow River burst its banks and the land of Shandong flooded seven counties!" the guard trembled.

"The Yellow River flood?"

Suddenly the whole dynasty was surprised.

"Isn't there a flood discharge area?" Kong Yingda trembled and exclaimed,

The land of Shandong is the stronghold of Shandong aristocratic family. The land of Shandong is flooded. The blow to Shandong aristocratic family can be said to be a disaster.

Fang Xuanling said bitterly, "tell your majesty, five days ago, the land of Luoyang reported that there was a rainstorm, the water level of the Yellow River soared, and the dike of Qucun village burst a few days ago to discharge the flood, but who would have thought that the land of Luoyang escaped, but the land of Shandong was not spared."

At this moment, chaotang's determination to govern the Yellow River has never been as firm as today.

However, the most important step to harness the Yellow River is to reduce the land reclamation in Guanlong and reduce the population pressure in Guanlong, so as to restore the vegetation.

At this moment, everyone thought of a place, the land of Qinghai.
