Chapter 842: Timely Rain

The people in the hall quickly finished circulating the military newspaper, and after reading it for a while, the general newspaper was sent back, and Li Shimin was still looking at Xia Hongsheng's recital from the Wa Kingdom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone looked at Li Shimin, but saw that the emperor was looking carefully at the moment, and the expressions on his face sometimes frowned, sometimes surprised, and sometimes seemed to be a little surprised and surprised.

Everyone in the palace was fascinated by what the emperor saw, so they were curious, but they couldn't ask questions.

"Hahahaha, it's really timely rain!" Li Shimin suddenly raised his head, laughed, and said to everyone: "I still don't know the situation of the Japanese country, and I can't formulate measures to win the hearts of the Japanese people. This Xia Hongsheng can be sparse, and he gave me the situation of the Japanese country together with the measures. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, everyone became even more curious. But I heard Li Shimin say again: "Xia Hongsheng's views are similar to Fang Qing's, and he also thinks that measures to benefit the people should be promulgated first to eliminate the hatred and hostility of the Japanese people towards the Tang Dynasty, so that the Japanese people will be grateful to the Tang Dynasty, and the hearts of the Japanese people will be used by the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Oh? Your Majesty, what is the situation of daring to be a Japanese country? Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "The power of the Japanese state is next to the power, although he has the name of the emperor, but he has no emperor. For decades, or even nearly a hundred years, the power of the imperial court of the Wa Kingdom was controlled by the great nobles, manipulating the succession to the throne and seeking the benefits of the family. The Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was just a puppet. In addition, the imperial court of the Japanese kingdom divided the various places to the great nobles, and these great nobles were in charge of the military and political affairs of the divided places, and on the surface they were headed by the imperial court of the Japanese state, but in fact they were like separating the territory, and they did not say that their imperial court was in their eyes, and the imperial court of the Japanese state lacked control over all parts of the country. These great nobles continued to fight among themselves for many years, and they became increasingly sluggish in their edicts and tributes to the imperial court. Between the courtiers and the royal family, and between the great nobles, there was a constant struggle between each other. The common people, most of whom were slaves of the aristocracy, fought among themselves for many years, frantically annexed land, brutally exploited the people, and many commoners were also deprived of their land, land and wealth were constantly concentrated, and social contradictions were unprecedentedly acute. Slaves, tribesmen, and civilians rebelled and fled. The internal chaos of the Wa Kingdom was already very large. ”

"The people's livelihood is withering, the people are miserable, the nobles ignore the royal family, and the royal power is sidelined, controlled by the ministers, and the melee continues, why not Zhou Zhi!" Gao Shilian said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case in the Wa Kingdom, I, Datang, can just save the Wa people from fire and water, so that the hearts of the Wa people will be towards the Tang Dynasty instead of the nobles and royal family of the Wa Kingdom." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, Xia Hongsheng proposed a five-year plan based on this situation. That is, the plan for the next five years. It is divided into three successive stages. I'm here to tell you. ”

"The first stage is to attack the Japanese with the Japanese." Li Shimin said to everyone: "Although the Japanese kingdom is destroyed, because of what I said before, its imperial court does not have much majesty in the hearts of the great nobles in various places, so the imperial court of the Japanese kingdom surrenders, and the nobles in various places may not necessarily surrender with it. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng was ready to divide and co-opt the nobles in various places, create contradictions, and make the nobles more chaotic among themselves through support and suppression, consume their strength, and make them dependent on the Tang Dynasty in order to seize benefits. For the people of the Japanese state, they used a gentle policy, hoeed the strong and helped the weak, and returned the benefits deprived by the great nobles from the people to the people, so as to win the support of the people. He also bribed the Japanese with heavy profits to form a military land to deal with the resisting Japanese people. Until the territory of the Wa Kingdom, there was no one who resisted the Tang Dynasty. This is the first stage. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin smiled again and said, "Everyone, let's listen to Xia Hongsheng's move to win the hearts of the Japanese people." The lands and tribes of the royal family and nobility were abolished and returned to the state, and citizens of the commons were abolished. The high-ranking officials and nobles above the doctor are given food seals, which is one of them. The ruling institutions were changed, state capitals and counties were established, and passes, guards, and post stations were set up, and each official was appointed by the imperial court. Those who want to be officials can either recommend or take the imperial examination, and act in accordance with the regulations of the Tang Dynasty. Household registration, tax records, and the transformation of the fields into fields, the arable land of the Japanese country is insufficient, and the Japanese people who have no land to divide can be given more land to disperse the land in the south of the Yangtze River and Lingnan, and these three are also. The reform of the tax system was implemented in accordance with the tax law of rent adjustment implemented by Datang. The people of the Japanese country, regardless of their status and origin, are treated equally by the Tang Dynasty, and they can all enter the hall to learn and learn, and these four are also. ”

"Your Majesty, aren't these measures just copying all the regulations that our Datang has done in the past!" After Zhu Suiliang stopped, he said: "This is all a move to enter the hall, isn't it also a strategy for Turkic assimilation!" ”

"Hehe, yes, it is indeed copying the regulations of Datang." Li Shimin smiled and said, "However, it is precisely this strategy that is clever. Xia Hongsheng said in the recital that although these are the current regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people do not know about it. These regulations have been in force for a long time in China, but in the Wa Kingdom, the contradiction between the Wa people and the nobility has been resolved, which can be said to have ruined the Wa aristocracy and benefited the Wa people. The Japanese people have long been resentful and hateful to the nobles and people of their country, so this move is for the benefit of the Japanese people, don't the Japanese people be grateful to my Datang for these measures, and regard my Datang as their life-saver? At the same time, this also made it logical for the Wa State to naturally transition into a place where the regulations of the Tang Dynasty were implemented and incorporated into the system of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After thinking about it, Fang Xuanling brushed his beard and said: "Your Majesty, this strategy is very good, and its benefits are threefold. First, this move made the Japanese people return to the Tang Dynasty, regard the Tang Dynasty as their own, and regard the Japanese nobles as enemies. Second, the Wa State will be included in the Tang Dynasty's jurisdiction system, and the Tang Dynasty can control and govern the land of the Wa State in the same way as the Tang Dynasty does over the provinces. Third, the implementation of the Tang system in this way made the Japanese people resist with the least heart, and even have no resistance because it is a Tang Dynasty regulation. In this way, these measures will be carried out, and the interests of the Japanese people will be followed, and the Japanese people will inevitably support them. If it does not conform to the power of the nobles of the Japanese kingdom, the nobles will resist. In this way, the relationship between the Japanese people and the nobles became more intense, and the Tang Dynasty could support the Japanese people to rebel against the nobles, thus realizing what Jingyang Hou said, 'making the Japanese attack the Japanese people'. Under the offset of the two, Datang has become the most powerful party. In addition, there are large areas of land for development in Gangnam Province and Lingnan Province, which can be used to replace the Japanese with the Han Chinese, and the two can live together and assimilate them. In this way, a few years later, the Japanese people are also Tang people, and the Japanese kingdom has become the east of the Tang Dynasty in all aspects, inside and out. Your Majesty, this policy is in line with the current use, and the ministers attach Xiahou's proposal, and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to implement this policy in the Wa Kingdom immediately! ”

Li Shimin smiled happily and said, "Yes, this policy is very comprehensive, and it should be implemented as soon as possible!" (To be continued.) )
