Chapter 598

Tai Chi Hall

"Inform your majesty! The last batch of disaster relief funds have been raised!" Dai Zhou, the Minister of civil affairs, reported happily.

"Congratulations, your majesty!" the ministers of the Tai Chi Hall said with a happy face.

Li Shimin's face brightened and he couldn't help feeling very much. The flood in Shandong was a rare disaster seen by the Tang Dynasty, but it was also the easiest one to get through.

All this is due to the boy Merton, who is far away in Lanzhou. With the support of huge wealth in Tuyuhun, he can smoothly provide work for relief. He not only solved the problem of disaster relief, but also built hundreds of miles of brick roads.

"Your Majesty, now that the disaster relief funds have been raised, it's time to recall the ink sacrifice wine to Chang'an city." Dai Zhou nodded.

"Of course, I want to recall him. All parts of the northwest play one after another. The boy is holding that giant magnet and scaring people there every day!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

The ministers couldn't help laughing. Although a small magnet has added a lot of wealth to the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid those grassland departments would not easily give in without this sharp weapon.

"In my opinion, this magnet is of great use. Mo boy once used it to make a compass to cross the desert with me. In addition, it is also a sharp weapon for all parts of Jimi grassland. If some barbarian tribes don't have iron tools, they certainly don't dare to have two hearts." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Many courtiers nodded slowly. They often rebelled in the northwest and southwest, especially in the southwest. If their iron weapons were collected, even if they had two hearts, they would not be able to turn over any waves,

In addition, this magnet can also be used to guard the city gate and search forbidden objects. It will certainly have a miraculous effect. For a moment, all officials thought of various uses of magnet.

"It's a wonderful thing. I'll send the order to let the Mohist village build more and try it in the imperial city first." Li Shimin was very excited. With this magnet, the protection in the palace must be increased several times out of thin air.

"Also, I'll send orders to those tribes that the Tang Dynasty won't touch them as long as they are in line with their duties." Li Shimin waved his hand. This time, Merton was tossing around in the northwest to raise money for the imperial court. Of course, Li Shimin will support him.

"In addition, please have a discussion about Murong Shun's letter asking for permission for Tuyuhun to restore the country!" Li Shimin suddenly said.

Tuyuhun has been delayed for too long. It's time to make a decision now.

Fang Xuanling is the first of all officials. At present, with a wave, a huge Tuyuhun map appeared in front of all officials. The tribes on it are clearly visible. It is the Tuyuhun tribe map painted by Merton.

"Your Majesty Hui, Dangxiang, the Western Qiang tribes and Tuyuhun are different nationalities. They should be separated from Tuyuhun and incorporated into our Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling pointed to Dangxiang and Western Qiang tribes in Qingtang and Longxi.

Li Shimin nodded slowly. The Western Qiang and Dangxiang are weak, but they can't hold many tribes. Breaking away from Tuyuhun will greatly damage Tuyuhun's strength.

"Chaka Salt Lake is the raw material of Daqing salt, and we can't give it up," Dai Zhou said firmly. Daqing salt is a steady source of money for the Ministry of civil affairs, which is naturally unwilling to give up.

"The land of Wuhai has a very high terrain and the climate is very similar to that of Tubo. It is a training place for our Tang Dynasty to guard against Tubo, and we can't give up." Hou Junji flashed in his eyes.

He was the Minister of the Ministry of military affairs, and personally entered the land of the Wuhai sea. He personally experienced the severe altitude reaction. Naturally, he would not give up these strategic places.

All the courtiers immediately scattered Tuyuhun with one word.

With Merton's tossing and turning in Tuyuhun, the form of Tuyuhun is now greatly conducive to the Tang Dynasty, but it is much better than in history, and the resistance of the Tang Dynasty to dismember Tuyuhun is greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty, think twice! If we openly capture Tuyuhun tribe, I'm afraid it will damage your Majesty's reputation!" Kong Yingda retorted.

"Yes! I didn't take an inch of Turkic land in the Tang Dynasty, and all parts of the northwest came to invest. Now the destruction of Tuyuhun country must make all parts of the grassland feel cold." Quan Wanji followed.

Many civil servants also agreed.

"It's pedantic. All the grassland departments are afraid of power and morality. Now the grassland departments get the silage of Mo boy. If they are not restricted, it will be a great disaster if their strength is doubled over time." Cheng Yaojin sneered.

Quan Wanji retorted, "from the point of view of the micro minister, the Mo wine offering is for the great good of small profits and the danger of raising tigers."

"When I first collected the money, Lao Cheng didn't see Lord Quan's objection." Cheng Yaojin sneered.

Between civil and military, suddenly fell into an argument, and the court was in chaos.

"All right, don't quarrel any more. Tuyuhun must be restricted." Li Shimin said with a stroke. An expedition almost consumed the Treasury of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't want to do it again.

"Maybe we can follow the example of the previous dynasty and divide Tuyuhun into two parts." Chang sun Wuji flashed his eyes.

The ministers moved in their hearts and looked one after another at the eldest sun Wuji.

"Please see, although the Mo sacrificial wine made a mistake, it successfully divided Tuyuhun into two factions. One is many small and medium-sized tribes who bought pastures, and the other is many large tribes who didn't buy pastures." Sun Wuji pointed to the clear tribal Road on Tuyuhun's map.

Under Merton's conscious control, most of the tribes buying pastures are located in the east of Qinghai Lake, close to Datang. In order to keep the pastures, these tribes must get the support of Datang, which is very beneficial to Datang.

"Sun Wuji's consciousness divides Tuyuhun into two parts according to the distribution of these tribes?" Fang Xuanling immediately led President sun Wuji.

The eldest sun Wuji nodded and said, "although Murong Shun is the eldest son, he is the former crown prince. His name is not correct and his words are not good. You know, one of the sons of Fu Yun is the most loved by Fu Yun!"

"Respect the king!" Li Shimin said with a flash in his eyes.

At the beginning, in order to support the king, Fu Yun asked the Tang Dynasty for peace. How can we not impress everyone? The king was also captured in this war.

"Yes, the king is loved by Fu Yun. Everyone knows him in Tugu. He must be able to compete with Murong Shun chamber!" said changsun Wuji proudly.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and thought a little about the cableway: "it's a decree to appoint Murong Shun as the king of Xiping County and Lu Wugan Dou Khan to command all the departments west of Qinghai Lake. Murong Zunwang was appointed as the king of Dongping county and Wu Di also BA Ledou Khan to command all the departments east of Qinghai Lake and temporarily live in Chang'an city."

Most of the tribes in the east of Qinghai Lake buy pastures and tend to the Tuyuhun departments of the Tang Dynasty, while Zunwang temporarily lives in Chang'an city. As long as the Tang Dynasty assimilates carefully, these tribes will slowly naturalize the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

This time, the Minister of civil and military affairs had no objection and said respectfully in unison.

"Tell your majesty! Murong Shun's position is not right. I'm afraid the departments east of Qinghai Lake will not accept it. Why don't your majesty send an elite cavalry to help." changsun Wuji gave Murong shun a drastic pay off and a fatal blow.

"Sure! I'll order Li Daliang to command 8000 elite cavalry to help Murong Shun." Li Shimin said without hesitation.
