"The loyalty of Tubo's new tribes is hard to predict. They are not easy to manage. If they accept outsiders, it will become a problem."
Seeing that he couldn't get the letter, Su Yi had to think on his own.
He refused to let the frontline continue to accept people from Tubo. Before the Tang dynasty's cities existed, did the locals not want to live?
"Hmm!" Li Longji didn't comment and looked at Song Jing.
"We should set the rules for the frontline generals. They can't easily stir up trouble and hurt people with their power. This is to avoid conflicts at the border. The imperial court can't deal with it quickly."
Song Jing still wanted to limit the power of the generals at the border, especially Zhang Xiaosong.
The other generals were only good at war. Zhang Xiaosong was a Jinshi and had too much power. He was afraid that he could manage a stable territory and go against the imperial court.
Li Longji still didn't give any attitude and looked at Bi Goo.
"The imperial court collects a little tax. If you need money, the Ministry of Revenue can pay." Bi Goo didn't say what to do. Anyway, if you want money, I'll give it.
This wasn't the greenhouse vegetables. There were also taxes paid by the merchants who came to sell things before the Spring Festival.
In the new year, management fees were also collected. It wasn't enough to build another railway, but it was enough to support the border.
Li Longji didn't need to say anything. Zhang Jiuling took the initiative to say, "I think the conciliatory strategy is more reliable. We will accept them according to the previous arrangement of Tubo tribes and take away some of the Tubo soldiers."
The four of them talked for a while and looked at the eunuch holding the box again.
Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi took the box and carefully put it in front of Li Longji.
Li Longji opened the box and looked at the contents. Tubo chapter, border people in trouble looking for help, nine.
He took out the envelope marked nine, took out the letter, looked at it, and read it.
"Tubo land, snow and rain are unpredictable. Winter and spring are bitter, years of death. But if there is a chance of survival, help must be sought. If there is no way to refuse, help the people. Collect weapons and plant them. Don't give money or food. Borrow temporarily. "
Li Longji finished reading and looked at everyone.
The four of them looked at each other and still wanted to snatch the box.
The matter was as simple as that. Put away the weapons and let them raise livestock on the side. If they needed to plow the land, they would plow the land. If they needed to borrow food and fodder, they would return it in the future.
Moreover, as mentioned earlier, many people died there every year, especially in winter and at the beginning of spring.
What he meant was that if they didn't help, they would die anyway. They had to fight with their lives on the line.
She was about to starve to death. You're trying to reason with her, saying that stealing food is wrong and snatching food is wrong?
"Your Majesty, I've seen that Li Yi's calligraphy has improved. Why don't you let Xu Chen and the others read the letters in the box? I think they'll benefit even more."
Bi Goo was still pondering over the finance chapter. He said that he wanted to learn calligraphy and brought the box over.
The other three nodded. That's right. Let's not look at the content. Let's look at the words. Why are they so beautiful?
Li Longji closed the box. "Go to the Li Family Zhuangzi and find something Li Yi used to practice calligraphy. Give it to the four chancellors."
He wasn't going to give it to them. Even if he had read the letters before, he would still keep them.
He wanted to let the people in the future know that they shouldn't think that they are so powerful. My Brother Yi had already gone out to sea, but he was still giving advice to the imperial court.
Whoever wanted to become an official through the Ganye method had to first write a policy and come up with a topic.
For example, if the Turks wanted to attack the Xi and Khitans, what would the Tang dynasty do?
If they didn't send troops, the Xi would be dealt with and trade would be interrupted. Who would bear the responsibility?
If they sent troops, where would they send? How would the logistics be arranged? Where would the money come from?
Or in the beginning of spring, the location of the Yellow River would be prone to ice floods. What should they do?
Should the local people evacuate? If they didn't evacuate, who would bear the responsibility for the deaths?
Evacuate? Where should they evacuate? After evacuating, should they settle down on the spot or send them somewhere else? When would they return?
Li Longji had thought it through. Whoever dared to play the Ganye method with him, he would ask them this question.
What? You say it's difficult to ask? Do you believe that I can find someone who can answer any question and arrange everything well?
If you don't have the ability, why would you take the shortcut?
"I wonder if Brother Yi has eaten? Are you not acclimatized? "Li Longji missed Li Yi. Every time he encountered a problem, he would think of him.
… …
"Come, come, come. Let's eat fish. This is called real silk. The taste … is average. It's not as good as the fish in the cold waters above.
This is Ming Tai fish. It's from the cod family. You can eat it dried or fried it. I like to make it into spicy fish with more scallions.
If it's steamed, Huang Gu fish is better. But don't put a deep net. It will affect the speed of the boat. "
Li Yi, who was missed by Li Longji, was introducing the All-Fish Feast to everyone.
He made more than ten dishes: steamed, braised, dry-fried, slippery, crucible, casserole, pan-fried, stir-fried, braised with soy sauce, soup, iron plate, salad … …
Every table was filled with fish. When they ate in the Li Family Zhuangzi, there were many dishes, but there was no All-Fish. Moreover, the fish now were all fresh and saltwater.
"It turns out that the people living by the sea live such a good life." Princess Yongmu thought that as long as they were by the sea, they could eat a lot of fish.
"They don't have our boats and nets. We have sonar, so we know where the fish are. We also have special fishing methods … …"
Li Yi didn't want to give Princess Yongmu the idea that the people by the sea were rich.
The people by the sea were poor and had a problem with fishing methods. In the Bohai Sea, namely Shandong, there were new big boats and fishing nets, so the income increased.
In Haizhou, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and other places, it was still okay to eat saltwater fish by themselves, but it was difficult to make money.
"The main difficulty lies in the sales channels. Even if the local fishermen catch a lot of fish, they can't sell it themselves. They sell it nearby and can't get a good price.
There's also the deep processing of seafood, simple boiling and drying, more complicated canning, and then the sales channels. "
Li Yi pointed out the problem. It was difficult for the people to change their living conditions with their own strength.
"We have sales channels, right?" Princess Yongmu knew that Uncle Li Chengqi was in charge of the matters by the sea.
"Yes, so the lives of the people by the sea are slightly better. We have to continue to provide help in the future.
When the sea trade comes, we will first build a big boat and hire the local people. When the local people earn some money, we will let them rent a big boat.
People with courage will fight. If they don't fight, they will be the same for the rest of their lives. If they fight, they may be able to change the future of their families. "
Li Yi said calmly. In fact, he thought of many people who fell in the fight.
Not only now, but also in other dynasties, including his own, there were also people who fought.
They gambled everything, including their lives. If they survived, they would be rich. If they died, it was their fate.
The most unbelievable thing was not the people who sold drugs, but a group of people who agreed to go into the mine and then drew lots.
Whoever drew a dead lot would die. They created a man-made disaster in the mine and asked for money.
Part of the money was divided among the people who were alive, and part of the money was sent to the families of the dead.
In order to give their children a chance, they could even give up their own lives. Such people … … were suitable for soldiers. They would be given a high pension and become mercenaries.
They would be given the same amount of money for killing an enemy. They would be given the same amount if they died. No matter how dangerous the place was, they would dare to attack.
"We have to let the people out of poverty and have the hope of living. Only then will society be stable. Otherwise, a small number of people will take risks and cause too much harm to others."
Li Yi thought and suddenly understood why poverty was lifted.
