Chapter 192 Li Shimin's Ambition
Here, with Du He's departure, Li Shimin really regarded those potatoes as his own. He took the people to dig, and even dug the soil very deep.

Li Shimin looked at the piles of potatoes, and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He didn't even need to look. A group of officials were calculating the yield per mu of potatoes. A few days ago, Li Shimin was so excited that he planted just a few potatoes and harvested them.

He can already imagine that in the future Tang Dynasty, after solving the problem of food and clothing for the common people, the entire Tang Dynasty will enter a high-speed development, and even after one or two generations, the population will have an explosive growth.

And the increase in population means that he can recruit more soldiers and lay down more land, and the matter of becoming a king that Du He said before became possible.

Even for the matter of becoming a king, there is no need to wait for the population to increase dramatically. With the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty, he is sure that he can conquer more land. With land, it is inevitable to become a king.

Even if this is the case in the future, it will become like the Zhou Dynasty more than a year ago, because too many entrustments will directly turn one country into several countries, forming another Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

But in Li Shimin's mind, as long as the land of the enfeoffed country is large enough to form several countries with a large area, they will not be able to fight.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's whole person is instantly motivated. After all, what is more fascinated by an emperor than to expand the territory and turn the vast surrounding land into his Li family's land!No, no ideal emperor could resist such a temptation.

What's more, he is still Li Shimin, which makes him unable to give up this great opportunity.

Of course, Li Shimin also knew that if he wanted to do this, it would be urgent to completely solve the imperial cancer of the aristocratic family that might hinder him from expanding his territory.

At this moment Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of Du He, because he found that Du He had already prepared all the conditions for him.

Whether it is the paper printing technique that draws fire from the bottom of the pot, the huge economic size of the family, or the food crisis that may arise in the family, all of these have a perfect solution with the help of Du He.

The only thing I have to do at this time is to wait for two more years and lay a solid foundation for everything, then I will be able to defeat the aristocratic family's millennium-long manipulation of the land of China in one fell swoop.

Only in this way can he truly control the entire country without any constraints, otherwise he will just jump out of a powerful family and unite with other families to destroy you and keep you busy fighting fires in the country every day. Do you still want to develop, do you want to go out and expand your territory?

Especially Li Shimin, who is an emperor, he is very aware of how harmful the family is to a country. After all, their Li family used to be a member of the family, but their family is not as big as the Li family in Longxi. To be polite, I don’t know if Taiyuan County Sheriff said yes, but I don’t know that there are almost none in the Li family in Taiyuan.

And this is the influence of the family on one place, or even many places.

As for manipulating the world, this is really not just talking. You must know that in the hundreds of years after the Western Jin Dynasty, the dynasties on the land of China changed faster than ordinary people imagined.

And those countries seem to be a country, it is better to say that they are a combination of interests of aristocratic families and aristocratic families.

Even the establishment of the Sui Dynasty was just a bigger family standing in front of the stage.

Of course, Yang Jian is also really talented, and even Yang Guang is also a far-sighted emperor. Whether it is the Grand Canal or the imperial examination system that their father and son have always adhered to, they are all epoch-making measures in China.

Not to mention Yang Jian, after he unified China, the national strength of China can be said to be the highest in all dynasties.

And the Grand Canal led by Yang Guang, from the year before last to the late Qing Dynasty, was still playing an important mission of transporting wealth from the south to the north, and it was also an important hub for the exchange of materials between the north and the south.

As for the imperial examination system, let alone, the emergence of the imperial examination directly broke the monopoly of the aristocratic family on talents and promotion channels. You must know that in the few years before the Sui Dynasty, people's emphasis on parentage was almost abnormal.

Because without a good background, let alone being an official, even a normal life may not be guaranteed.

It can be said that in the thousands of years of history, many things cannot be accomplished by your hard work, which is why in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei must give himself a name after King Jing of Zhongshan. head.

Because he doesn't have this name, he can say that he dare not do anything. Don't you see, before Liu Bei participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, what did he do and what went wrong? In addition to his two sworn brothers, there is no one available around him, but since he spent money and made military exploits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was recognized by Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.

You are looking at Liu Bei, there are some who give money to women, and some who seek fame and defection, and even let him win the reputation of loving the people like a son in Xuzhou City.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't have to do anything, just relying on the sinful virtue of their ancestors, after going out and shouting that I am the fourth generation and third father, people immediately came to join them.

It can be seen from this that if you did not have a good background in the society at that time, you really couldn’t do anything. Even if you were talented, it would be useless. People with good backgrounds can only reach the level ten times or even a hundred times. This is still just catching up with those people when they were born.

The emergence of the imperial examination system has completely made all this a thing of the past. Even if the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty was not perfect, many opportunities were also controlled by the aristocratic family.

But this somewhat gives the civilians a hope, a hope that transcends classes.

But this kind of hope just moved the interests of the aristocratic family, and Yang Guang made three conquests of Goguryeo.

These three conquests of Goguryeo seem to be Yang Guang's great achievements, but in fact, after careful analysis, how could the emperor who was able to excavate the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal not understand that three times in a few years is not worth the gain.

But Yang Guang just did this, and it was so frequent, so there is only one explanation, Yang Guang wants to use these three certificates of Goguryeo to consume the strength of the northern clans, so as to achieve a balance between the northern and southern clans, thus forming a mutual relationship. A scene of restriction, while the northern and southern clans are constantly attrition in the infighting.
