Chapter 593: The Grassland Idea is Expected
In later generations, there were many ideas about the grassland, but it was difficult to do anything at that time.
On the contrary, there is no such problem in this era, and there is a method for dealing with the grassland, and Shu An agrees very much.
"Incorporate the entire grassland into the territory of Datang."
Shu An's faint voice sounded, and there was a hint of resoluteness in his words.
Although in this era, the grassland seems to be useless except for alien races.
For example, the northern grasslands cannot grow grain and the like, which is in the impression of many people in the Tang Dynasty, and the grasslands are not educated.
After the words fell, this emperor did not have the idea of opposing it at the first time, but thought about it.
But then there was a wry smile on his face, this matter is not so simple.
First, if the grassland is stored, but whoever manages it must send people from the Tang Dynasty.
You must know that few people in Annan were willing to go before, let alone this grassland.
Second, there are relatively many people who oppose it, especially scholars from Confucianism.
This is also enough to make this emperor hesitate, and in addition, there is naturally a third point.
That is how the grassland is defended, you must know that there are many alien races outside the grassland.
There are not too many things that can be planted on the grassland, and if everything is supplied, then it will have to come out of the Tang Dynasty.
If you want to defend, then the number of troops invested must not be in a small number, and if you want natural food and grass, the supply is also huge.
It can be said that even if he defeated Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin never thought of including the grassland in the territory.
Or that no one in the Tang Dynasty has such an idea, and without hesitation, Li Shimin still said his helplessness.
"Father, it's not that I don't want to, but that Datang can't afford it."
Li Shimin couldn't help but say quietly, and there was more helplessness in his words.
In fact, Li Shimin is not unmoved in his heart, and he included the grassland in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
This is something that has not been done in the previous dynasties, and if you succeed in doing it yourself, then it will definitely go down in fame.
Even the first time this emperor had a hint of excitement, but it was quickly extinguished.
Because of the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty, it is simply impossible to supply a cavalry across the grassland, it is easy to fight, but it is difficult to defend.
On the other hand, in the face of the problem that Li Shimin said, how could Shu An not know.
"The difficulty of the grassland is indeed not easy, but if it is successful, it will also be successful."
Shu An's eyes were deep, as if he had seen the future through endless years, and said softly.
At least Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help revealing a glimmer of light, could it be that this father saw something in the future.
It's a pity that even Li Shimin doesn't have a good way to do this.
"It would be nice if my Datang was stronger."
Li Shimin's voice sounded with a sigh, if it is strong, then it is not difficult to raise such a soldier to protect the grassland.
"In fact, why should the people of the world bother themselves, they must eat the food one bite at a time."
"Since the steppe is difficult, and it is difficult to annex all the difficulties, how about a small piece of words?"
"And the people of the world can also reward the grassland land to the meritorious soldiers this time."
"If these soldiers are unwilling, Shufu will buy them at a suitable price."
However, Shu An's face changed at this time, and he said with a smile.
Or now is his real purpose, how much strength Datang has, how can Shu An not know.
It is simply impossible for nature to annex the entire grassland, but a small piece of grassland is still possible.
It's better than doing nothing, and the grasslands aren't without interest.
This can still be guaranteed by Shu'an, such as grazing wool and the like, which Shu'an still knows.
As long as there are interests, then there is no fear that no one will want the follow-up grassland.
Li Shimin couldn't help but glance deeply at this father, it seemed that the father was very interested in the grassland.
There is a taste of joy in seeing the hunt, but Li Shimin also has some hesitation, is there anything in the grassland that he has not discovered.
You must know that your father has made many things that you think impossible possible.
It can be said that with the name of a golden hand, among many secret rumors of the Duke of Guo, An Xuangong himself is a huge wealth.
I don't know how many people want to have a good relationship with this father, just to give some advice to the father.
Li Shimin is very clear about this matter, but when it comes to this, Li Shimin also has an idea in his heart.
At present, it seems that Yafu's idea can be said to be very beneficial to Datang.
You must know that every reward Li Shimin has a headache, if the grassland can share a part, then it is naturally the best.
Not to mention that he was not satisfied with the fact that Shu Fu also paid money to buy it, of course, the focus of Li Shimin's attention in this matter was what was the use of Yafu buying so much grassland land.
This emperor has a lot of curiosity, but it's a pity that he only faces Shu An, who has a mysterious smile on his face.
"If the grassland wins, then I will do as my father said."
After a long time, Li Shimin's voice sounded, and a decision could still be made on this matter.
In the eyes of outsiders, An Xuangong seems to have suffered a loss, presumably out of sympathy for the soldiers.
After all, there were many academy students and disciples who were all in the army, and An Xuangong had every reason to do so.
Of course, if it is in the future life, it may still be suspected of being a show, but An Xuangong doesn't need more prestige.
Originally, he was the most prestigious person in the world, so he might not doubt Shu An's intentions in this matter.
But this emperor is different, but it's a pity that Li Shimin didn't get any news from Shu An.
Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have some small thoughts, and a smile also appeared on his face.
.......
In the following days, Li Shimin and Shu An talked frequently, more about Goguryeo and the grassland.
Among them, although Goguryeo listened to Yafu's analysis, Li Shimin did not relax his vigilance at the first time.
Instead, more spies were sent into Goguryeo to inquire about the news, wanting to know the form of Goguryeo.
"It was expected by the Father!"
When the news came back, Li Shimin's face showed a look of excitement.
After the death of King Yeryure, Goguryeo finally fell into a struggle for power, and he originally came up from the power struggle.
Naturally, he knows how turbulent Goguryeo is now, of course, Li Shimin also has a lot of pity, if there are another 100,000 soldiers and horses, he will definitely take this opportunity to attack Goguryeo.
