Chapter 869: Integration and Development

Li Chengqian was still sick, and after returning from Zongzheng Temple that night, he had a fever for three days, during which he did not wake up. Later, Li Er invited the Taoist priest Qin Ying, and together with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, a group of people surrounded the 'Lanruo Temple' for a good meal, and finally woke up Li Chengqian.

Of course, there is also an element of coincidence in this, even if Qin Ying and they don't come in three days, Li Chengqian will also wake up.

It's just that he woke up, but after waking up, Li Chengqian still rolled on the bed with his head in his hands, looking worrying, I felt that it was better to let him continue to sleep.

Seven days, a full seven days, from that night to Li Yuanchang's interrogation until seven days later, Li Chengqian can be regarded as bidding farewell to this painful experience of illness and starting a 'new life' vigorously.

However, before starting a 'new life', Li Chengqian called Lao Cui into the East Palace and punished him for writing a thousand times: 'I was wrong, I will never dare again!' ’。 This damn guy, if he had said that there was more contact between the yang and the yin people and there were such sequelae, the ghost would have tried that Li Yuanchang.

But it's strange to say, people say that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, but Li Chengqian's illness comes and goes quickly, and on the seventh day, he is almost cured without medicine, and when he wakes up, he runs around vigorously, just like he has never been sick.

Lao Li was very strange why there was such a situation, but no matter whether he asked Qin Ying or Sun Simiao, these two people had no way to explain, and in the end they could only sigh, sighing that extraordinary people must have extraordinary things, and then they went to busy their own things, leaving Li Chengqian behind and no longer caring about him.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, became even busier after lying down for seven days, not only thinking about the affairs of a group of people in Tubo every day, but also dealing with the continuous visits of those families.

Finally, one day at the end of November, Li Chengqian couldn't stand this endless torture, so he gathered the five surnames and seven wangs and the major families together and held a dinner party in the Five Immortals Residence.

"Everyone, be quiet, this palace has a few words to say here." After thirty years of wine and five flavors of food, Li Chengqian opened the conversation with a light cough.

"Your Highness, please speak, we will listen to you!" Everyone who had been waiting for Li Chengqian to speak for a long time put down the chopsticks or wine glasses in their hands, and those who chatted also closed their mouths and looked at Li Chengqian quietly.

"Gather everyone here today, in fact, this palace wants to communicate with you big guys and make an overall arrangement, after all, the development of the Hetao area and the Western Regions is a big project, right?" Li Chengqian's opening seems a bit cheesy, but it doesn't matter.

What these people who come here don't want to hear is not a peerless story, and the focus of their concern is the future development and Datang's policies.

After all, a fiefdom is now in hand, but the question after getting it also comes, what can such a large piece of land do?

Tax? This is a matter of the state, and it has nothing to do with their Mao; Business? Do you sell yourself? None of the things produced in the fiefdom can be transported over long distances, and the technology of many things is in the hands of Li Chengqian, but it is not for them to make up their minds.

If you can't collect taxes or do business, can you live on what grows in the field? It's not realistic. The family is not a good person of the ninth generation, and they naturally want to make more profits with land in their hands, if they don't have money, they would rather not have this land.

Therefore, they need to turn to 'Li Chengqian, the first smart man in the Tang Dynasty', hoping to find a way to make a fortune through his guidance, because the development of the Hetao area and the Western Regions was proposed by Li Chengqian after all, and it is impossible to say that he has no ideas.

"I put forward three suggestions: first, strengthen cooperation with the government, most of your people are Turkic, and law and order needs to be strengthened in the first few years, as for what will happen in the future, we will talk about it in the future."

"Second, you must strengthen cooperation and communicate more, each region must have its own characteristics, and if you can't raise horses if they are valuable, they will raise sheep."

"Third, I suggest that you jointly fund the construction of several large workshops, and this palace will disclose some technology to you, so as to avoid some unnecessary waste. In other places, I think you should all have your own ideas, if there is anything you can't figure out after today, you can submit it in writing like this palace, and this palace will give you an answer within three days! ”

Li Chengqian's words, the most worthy of everyone's attention is the third point, after hearing him say that some technologies can be disclosed, everyone's eyes are like gold.

"Your Highness, can you trade with aliens?" A middle-aged man suddenly asked.

Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes, but you need to report the list of transactions, write down the names, quantities, and prices of the traded items clearly, and report them to the government." Of course, the court will draw up a list of materials that can be traded, and what can and cannot be traded with foreign races will be explained on it. ”

"And what if we don't sell what we produce?" The voice came from a corner, because there were too many people, and Li Chengqian didn't see who it was.

However, he still smiled and said: "If you can't sell it, the government will provide you with certain consulting services, I think as long as the quality of the things you produce is up to standard, and there is no prohibition, it shouldn't be a problem to sell it." But if you have to produce something useless, I can't help it! ”

Datang is now in a stage of rapid development, it can be said that as long as something is produced, it will definitely be sold, and even can be sold as fertilizer, but for the sake of face, no one will sell this thing.

"Your Highness, can we have our own defenses?" Another question that was of concern to all was raised.

"No, you can only cooperate with the government." This time, Li Chengqian did not nod again, but directly refused the request. The example of the local armed forces must not be opened, and if it is opened, it will not be contained, and Li Chengqian does not want to cause trouble for himself.

And now, whether it is Lao Li or Xiao Li, they have already regarded those Turkic people in the Hetao area as half of the Tang Dynasty, and they really want them to integrate into the Tang society.

If these landed families are allowed to have armed forces, then when there is a conflict of ideas, the family is likely to use force to deter, which is extremely unfavorable to the integration of the Turks into the Tang Dynasty.

If the family does not have armed forces, then before the conflict occurs, they will evaluate the plan they will carry out, and try not to break out as much as possible, which will greatly change their attitude towards the Turks, which is conducive to alleviating the contradictions and conflicts between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
