Chapter 1193 Southern Xinjiang

Li Xiang's trip was mainly for inspection, so he couldn't waste too much time here. After the whole Jiaozhou City incident spread, Li Xiang didn't stay here too much.

In addition to leaving 200 people, Li Xiang also stationed more than 1,000 people outside the city. The role of these people is very simple. If something like this happened in Jiaozhou City, local officials in other major cities may take action. If they take action, then these more than 1,000 people will be ordered to destroy them.

Li Xiang also handed over this task to Ruan Yuanjia. After all, this guy has already performed this task twice, so he is very comfortable doing it again. I heard that the affairs of the two surrounding states have been handed over to him. Ruan Yuanjia's heart It also feels like it has been reused.

Of course, how he got this reuse, I'm afraid only he himself knows. After killing the rebels around him, Ruan Yuanjia can't even think about having a good death. He must follow Li Xiang. around.

Chang'an City.

Li Shimin also received a secret report from Li Xiang. Regarding Li Xiang's affairs at the southern border, Li Shimin frowned.

You must know that the Li family actually has the blood of the Hu people, but Li Shimin has not talked about this matter all this time. If Li Xiang does this, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many officials within Datang.

"This guy's actions are not wrong, but he did them with such a big fanfare. I'm afraid it will cause a series of reactions. Take the officials in Chang'an now. Many of them have the blood of the Hu people. ."

In the square in front of Qinzheng Hall, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji walked forward slowly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that His Highness Taisun's move may cause some reactions, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for our court."

In fact, the Han officials in the imperial court have long had this idea. When Hu people become officials, they not only occupy their quotas, but more importantly, many foreigners are unstable in these years.

Changsun Wuji listed several foreign officials in the north. When the Tang Dynasty was strong, they would naturally follow the Tang Dynasty. But if the nomads in the north became strong, these people would immediately change their tune, so don't expect them to follow anyone wholeheartedly. .

But it's different if it's Han officials. These Han officials know where their base is. Even if the nomads come with an army to attack, they will fight to the end. If they retreat, they will die without a burial place. .

"I understand what you are saying, but the world is made up of all ethnic groups. If only Han people are allowed to serve as officials, then people of all ethnic groups will have no hope at all. How can they really join us?"

In terms of national integration, Li Shimin did see a long-term vision, which is why he was called Tian Khan. But the problem is that at this stage, his ideas are too advanced.

Changsun Wuji was also hesitating about how to remind Li Shimin that in fact some of the strategies proposed by Li Xiang were still acceptable. At this stage, they were still mainly Han people, but if they lived in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, then these people would be the same as those in the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty have the same rights.

Of course, Li Xiang also set many restrictions. For example, Fusang people will not have such rights in the future.

The Koreans rule by partition. The Koreans in Liaodong will have such rights in 20 years, but if they are on the Korean Peninsula, they will only have such rights in a hundred years.

"Why don't we try His Highness's method and let these people live according to our way for a period of time. If they don't make mistakes, then it is understandable that we give them equal rights, but we must not be too nice to them at this stage. ,Non-my family, its heart must be different."

Changsun Wuji's cold face expressed Li Xiang's thoughts. In this regard, they both had the same idea. In the past, Li Shimin always felt that Changsun Wuji was too ruthless. Whenever discussing such matters, he would Fang Xuanling came for him.

But after listening to the example given by Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin's mentality also changed. In addition, Li Xiang's memorial made it very clear. Take the matter of Jiaozhou as an example. In addition to a post manager, the local There are no Han officials at all. They blatantly violated the laws of the imperial court. So what can we say?

"Sometimes what this guy says is good, so let's follow his method first. Special personnel should be dispatched to patrol the southern border areas. This can't happen again. Our Han people are also living in hardship in the border areas."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji next to him had already decided. This basically formed a national policy, which can be regarded as making life better for the Han people in the border areas.

Of course, Changsun Wuji and the others will not go too far. As for other ethnic groups in the border areas, as long as they sincerely contribute to the Tang Dynasty, their rights must be protected and their rights must not be infringed.

"By the way, when is that kid planning to arrive in Chang'an?"

Li Shimin had never thought about this grandson before, mainly because he often opposed himself, but now that they haven't seen each other for a long time, Li Shimin really misses this kid. Recently, there has been no difference between the grandfather and grandson. We can still be a good family.

"If I return to Your Majesty, according to His Majesty's memorial, he should arrive in Chang'an within two months. By then, His Majesty's first child should also..."

Datang Kunzhou

After several days of traveling, Li Xiang has arrived in Kunzhou at full speed.

Because the situation here is close to Nanzhao, he still dare not violate the imperial court's will. Li Xiang also checked all the local officials and found that it basically complied with the imperial court's regulations.

Li Xiang also praised the local officials, and then did not stay too much in the area. He only left a few civilian officials to build large warehouses locally to prepare for military supplies.

This was all explained by the imperial court in advance. Li Xiang just came to arrange personnel. Local officials had already begun preparations and were only starting to implement it now.

According to their ideas, the imperial court wanted to build a large number of warehouses locally, which would also be a huge stimulus to the local economy.

There is really little fertile land in the area, so if everyone wants to have enough to eat, the court's large-scale projects are necessary. Nanzhao has taken off because of this before, so officials here in Kunzhou The wait is finally here... (End of this chapter)
