What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Although Li Yue is short of people, this problem is not very urgent. This is not the age of great voyages. The colonists from the West have already taken advantage of Nanyang. Nowadays, there are not many indigenous people in these places, and the number of immigrants is reasonable. Anyway, now There are no contraceptive measures, and the level of medical care can still be kept up. For example, in Minyue, the infant mortality rate has now been reduced to a certain level. Unless it is premature birth and congenital defects, otherwise, the child Generally can survive.Of course, premature death in the process of growing up is also inevitable, but compared to before, the survival rate is much higher. As long as a couple has no health problems, it is not a problem to have four or five children.

Li Yue has given many rewards for childbirth, just like later generations, after giving birth to the third child, you can register with the government, and then you can receive various subsidies on a monthly basis. It can be said that as long as you give birth There are enough children, just relying on government subsidies can almost guarantee a family's full stomach.However, so far, I haven't met anyone who relies on childbirth for subsidies. After all, in this era of unlimited foreign investment, as long as you work hard, you can earn money wherever you go and live a very nourishing life. It's easy to lie flat at home and fill your stomach, but it's not easy to live a good life. Besides, don't your children need to get married?Moreover, after becoming an adult, you have to pay poll tax. If you refuse to pay, you will be sent to work as a laborer, which is much harder than finding a job yourself.

According to Li Yue's survey on the ratio of men to women and the data model of population growth, it won't take long. The population can at least quadruple again, and another 20 years of recuperation will be enough.Li Yue is only in his 30s now, at this time in his previous life, he was still considered a young man in his work unit!Li Yue is not a hero, he doesn't think that he can solve all the problems while he is alive, he just needs to set a general direction, a generation has its own destiny, and children and grandchildren have their own blessings, as for their own future It is their choice whether the children and grandchildren will cast their eyes on the vast sea, or take advantage of the decline of the Tang Dynasty to ask the importance of winning the championship.

As for Li Yue himself, he felt that he was an ordinary person, so he still didn't want to face the biological mother who left a strong mark in the history books.Such a ruthless empress, it's better not to provoke her, honestly, can't she just lay down her own territory?

The war on the Tubo side went very smoothly. Later, after hearing that the Tang army had packed up and sold all the former captives, many of the Tubo nobles in the back calculated their strengths compared with the Tang army, and some of them didn’t even want to fight. Fight, surrender directly to meet Wang Shi.After all, Datang is very concerned about face. If everyone surrenders, you can't sell the other party.In particular, Datang hopes to be able to rule Tubo for a long time in the future. Before these Tubo people can be completely eliminated, Datang naturally needs to set a benchmark. Then what awaits you is naturally Datang's iron fist attack.

After Mansong Manzan passed away, the news was indeed blocked from the outside world, but the upper-level nobles actually knew everything, which was also the cause of the turmoil.Mansong Mangtsan's children are still young, and there are actually quite a few Tibetan nobles with the blood of the Zanpu family. It is nothing more than that they have not yet reached an agreement. Therefore, up to now, no new Zanpu has been recommended. And after the Tang army came up, those nobles who originally wanted to be Zanpu were shocked and suffered heavy losses, and they almost became prisoners, or they were worried that after they took over the position, they would directly become the object of the Tang Dynasty's crimes. He dared to take the lead, but instead pushed Mansong Manzan's immature son to Zanpu's position.

This also brought a lot of convenience to the Tang Dynasty. Pei Xingjian successfully led the army to capture the Potala Palace. At this time, Princess Wencheng had passed away, but the dowry was still there.In name, Princess Wencheng has a high status in Tubo. Songtsen Gampo was fine when he was alive, but after Songtsan Gampo passed away, Princess Wencheng was almost under house arrest in the Potala Palace, which had no influence on Tubo's political affairs. Li, in fact, the letters sent to Chang'an and Luoyang in the name of Princess Wencheng from Tubo were all written by people from Tubo in the name of Princess Wencheng.

Pei Xingjian felt a little pity for Princess Wencheng in his heart. She was originally from the clan. If there hadn't been a marriage proposal from Tubo, she should be like an ordinary clan and county head. After marrying a meritorious nobleman, or marrying someone Even if the aristocratic family is unknown for a lifetime, they will not leave their hometown, go to such a strange place, and finally pass away in loneliness.

However, pity belongs to pity, what should be done is still to be done, and fortunately the Tubo royal family does not have the blood of Princess Wencheng, otherwise Pei Xingjian would be more difficult to deal with.

During this process, Li Yue also took a lot of advantage. The big head is naturally the population. Not only the Tang army is selling, but also the Tubo nobles. After defeating the opponent, he directly took everything of the opponent as his own, not only the opponent's serfs became his own serfs, but also the opponent's wives and children became his slaves.Then, they started a frenzied transaction. At this time in Tubo, there were very few elderly people. Even nobles, their average life expectancy was not high. On the one hand, it was because of the natural environment here, such as this plateau. The region is a great burden on the human body's breathing and blood circulation, and in future generations, this kind of environment is by no means a place to prolong life.On the other hand, because of their eating habits, there is a lack of fruits and vegetables in these places, and there are very few ordinary carbohydrates. The only thing that can be grown here is highland barley. The output of this stuff is really impressive, even Zanpu and those The top nobles cannot guarantee that they can eat tsampa made of highland barley once in a few days. Even if the climate in Tianzhu is very suitable for the growth of food crops, it is really not cost-effective to transport food from there to the plateau. Therefore, the Tubo side There is little tradition of importing food.It can be said that their diet structure is very unreasonable.Coupled with elements such as war, the average life expectancy is short, and the quality of life is not high.

Therefore, there are really no elderly people in the population they trade, and most of them are young men, women and teenagers.The price Li Yue and the others gave was so high that these Tubo nobles even sold a batch of their own serfs.After all, they used to hold sacrifices every year and other messy things. They used serfs as sacrifices. Now they sell them instead, which can add a lot of wealth to their family.

In addition to the population, Li Yue also got a lot of special products from Tubo, such as the furs of various animals that can be put in prison for later generations. These can be made into blankets and various leather goods , anyway, it's very cheap, and you won't suffer no matter what you do.In addition, a verbal agreement was reached with the nobles in Tubo. If they can get something new from places like Tianzhu, Minyue will buy it at a high price.Pei Xingjian didn't pay attention to this, he just honestly wrote all these in the battle report, anyway, it's all about the old Li's family, it doesn't matter how much Li Yue took advantage of, not to mention, Tang Jun also made a lot of money Little money, Pei Xingjian himself is the same. At first he said that the Western Regions are a good place, but after so many years in the Western Regions, he didn’t have as much money as this attack on Tubo. this war.

In the Daming Palace, after receiving the battle report, Li Zhi's mental state was different.

Tubo has always been second only to Goguryeo in terms of nausea.Compared with Tubo, the Turks are inferior, because the Tang Dynasty actually had a psychological advantage over the Turks. At the time of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks didn’t have much advantage in the Central Plains. People like Pei Ju and Changsun Sheng made moves, first they put The powerful Turks split into east and west. If it weren't for those bad things later, Yang Guang would not have been surrounded by Turks at Yanmen Pass, and Li Shimin showed his face fiercely and pretended to be a big one.In short, when the Central Plains was strong, it always had an advantage over the grassland nomads.But for a place like Tubo, it is really disgusting.Goguryeo was trapped in the Sui Dynasty because of the white mountains and black waters, and it was really cold after winter, and they were capricious. Yang Guang can be said to have lost very wrongly.And Tubo is similar, their terrain is high, the air is thin, and the climate is cold. For those who are not used to this climate, this place is a nightmare.

Taking advantage of this advantage, Tubo caused a lot of troubles for Tang Dynasty, forcing Li Shimin to choose the daughter of the clan as a marriage partner. shame.Li Zhi was determined to surpass his father, defeating the Turks and Goguryeo were all things Li Shimin had done before, and it would not be so remarkable if he did it again. It was Gaochang that was destroyed when Li Shimin was there. This calculation is also the foundation laid by the father.Therefore, if he wanted to show off to Li Shimin after his death, he had no choice but to use Tubo!Now that Tubo has almost been defeated in a single battle, Li Zhi is naturally elated and refreshed.

Empress Wu was also very happy for Li Zhi. In addition, Empress Wu also felt that she had a share of credit for this matter. After all, her regent these days has provided strong rear support for the Tubo war.

Fortunately, for this big victory, the husband and wife have already had a preview. Pei Xingjian must be rewarded. It is nothing more than an official promotion. Pei Xingjian is not too young. After this battle, he will almost retreat to the second line. Even if it is a hereditary duke, it is nothing.As for the treatment of Tubo, they have already had an idea. Li Xian will be named the king of Tibet and guard Tubo. Killed something, this is Mansong Mangzan's son after all, Mansong Mangzan was still respectful to Datang back then, and Datang sent troops this time, also under the banner of seeking justice for Mansong Mangzan's death, And that Zanpu was still so young, obviously he couldn't be behind Mansong Manzan's death.But if he is still allowed to continue to be Zanpu, where will Li Xian, the king of Tibet, be placed?

After pondering for a while, Empress Wu said with a smile: "It's better to make Du Song Mangbojie the Duke of the state, or even the king of the county, and take him to Chang'an for honor and support." What is an empty county king, maybe a few generations later Well, the descendants of Juniper Mangbojie can still have some real power, but now, if he is obedient, he can still enjoy the glory and wealth in Chang'an. If he is not obedient, it is normal for such a big child to die accidentally.

Li Zhi nodded, and said with some hypocrisy: "Jun Mang Bojie can be regarded as the great-grandson of Princess Wencheng, so he is naturally my junior. The coldness in Tubo is bitter, this child is still young, why should he suffer there! On my side first Let him grow up for a few more years and study for a few more years, and when he grows up, if he still wants to go back to Tubo to be a Zanpu, then he should go back!" In other words, it is like Liu Chan's success in the Sima family's territory. He said cheerfully: "I am happy here, I don't think about Sichuan!" Similarly, if Du Songmangbojie is a smart person, when he grows up and asks him if he wants to go back to Tubo to be Zanpu, he has to say that the Tang Dynasty is so good that the moon is full. It is better than being round in Tubo, and being a commoner in Datang is better than being Zanpu in Tubo!

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and secretly gave each other a thumbs up, and then the matter was considered settled.Empress Wu flipped through the battle report again, showing a smile: "Fifteen Lang has taken a lot of advantage this time. He wants to develop overseas, and what he lacks most is labor. Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, he has lost a lot of money." , can save him a lot of time!"

Li Zhi also smiled and said: "At the beginning, I wanted to let those aristocratic families leave the Central Plains and go to the border areas to develop, but I didn't know that Shiwulang gave up the interests of the Central Plains first, which is really unexpected!" Speaking of this, Li Zhi Zhi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he shook his head, and said, "Oh, what a pity he is now!"

Empress Wu also nodded and said: "Yes, what a pity! If Xian'er and Dan'er have half the abilities of Shiwulang, then we don't have to worry about it!"

Li Zhi thought so, and suddenly asked: "I heard that Dan'er also wants to become a fan?"

Empress Wu nodded and said, "Yes, I went to Quanzhou back then, and when I came back, my mind was wild!"

Li Zhi is noncommittal about this. He has been observing the two youngest sons for the past two years, but he is still hesitant about who to choose. There are also a few talents.Li Dan's wife's family is the Liu family, and Liu Dewei's reputation among the founding heroes is not obvious. Now he has passed away, and the Liu family has no successors.Li Dan also had a side concubine from the Dou family, but the Dou family is the same now, there are not many children that can be used, that is to say, Li Dan can't even pick out a few available from his wife's family.The power of foreign relatives in the Han and Tang dynasties was relatively strong, and the royal family did not mind using foreign relatives. Li Zhi felt that Li Xian was actually stronger than Li Dan in terms of wives.But with such a strong mother-in-law as his own wife, it is estimated that the daughter-in-law will not be able to make any waves.

Li Zhi secretly sighed in his heart, obviously he has a lot of sons, why has he fallen to the point where he has no other choice now.However, Empress Wu is so powerful, even if his older sons have enough talents, Li Zhi will not consider it. Don't make Empress Wu anxious. In his current situation, he has no energy to turn against Empress Wu.

"It's really not possible, I really can only count on Shiwulang!" Li Zhi kept his expression on his face, but thought about it in his heart.

Because of this great victory, Li Zhi started thinking about enshrining Zen again. At the beginning, he took Empress Wu to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Now that he has completely defeated Tubo, Li Zhi feels that his achievements are not much worse than those of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu. After going there, I now feel that I am qualified to enshrine Zen again.

Empress Wu was still very interested in Fengchan. In order to be able to preside over Taishan Fengchan together with Li Zhi, she even made a fuss in the court, and finally won the power of Yaji.Looking back now, Empress Wu still feels emotional. After all, since ancient times, has there ever been a woman who has presided over such an important event?Now again, Empress Wu must be familiar with the road, but she doubted that Li Zhi's body would not be able to support Mount Tai. It cost a lot of money to conquer Tubo for the first time, and when the army returns, they will be rewarded for their merits. Although the national treasury is still full these years, it is difficult to support Feng Chan again!"

Li Zhi is not someone who does not listen to persuasion, he hesitated for a while, and then asked: "What do you mean, Ah Wu?"

Empress Wu said with a smile: "Songshan Mountain is also one of the Five Sacred Mountains, and it is among them. It is not too far from Luoyang. How about going to Luoyang first, and enshrining Zen in Songshan Mountain?"

After Li Zhi made some calculations, he also considered his physical condition. He couldn't just kill half of his life just to show off his martial arts. Songshan Mountain is very good, and it is relatively close, which can save a lot of energy. , then nodded immediately, and said: "That's right, Mount Song is also a good place to enshrine Zen!" Li Zhi is not a rigid person, so what if everyone enshrines Mount Tai, Taishan has already been there, that's it, The emperor is the son of heaven, so, what's the problem with changing the place to enshrine Zen?

"However, I'm afraid there will be some noise in the hall!" Empress Wu said again.

Li Zhi is also a master of playing rogues, so he said immediately: "Before we came back from Luoyang because of Tubo's affairs, now the soldiers are about to return triumphantly. After the rewards are completed, it is time to tour the Eastern Capital. Just an excuse!"

After hearing this, Empress Wu praised Li Zhi again, and then said something else.
