Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Du He has a God's perspective and knows that none of these foreign countries are honest.

When the Central Plains dynasty falls into chaos again, they will launch another rebellion like the Eastern Turks, Tubo, Xueyantuo and other countries.

Moreover, Du He believed that setting up the Protectorate without relocating Han people to live there was not a measure that would ensure long-term stability.

Li Shimin saw Du He's little action and asked with interest.

"Du He, what do you think?"

Hearing that Li Shimin asked Du He to speak again, all the ministers in the hall turned their attention to Du He again.

They have held so many prime minister meetings, but no one has ever received as much attention from His Majesty as Du He.

Moreover, these old foxes are also aware of the prince's little thoughts.

Du He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Fang Sikong's suggestion is very good. Placing the children of Baekje in Jiaozhou will not have much impact on the people of our Tang Dynasty."

"And when these 3 Baekje children grow up, they can form an army of 7 people!"

Hearing Du He's approval of his words, Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.

Although most of the children transported back to Chang'an were girls, there were also nearly 1 boys.

If they are trained as soldiers from childhood, they will become a well-trained alien war force when they grow up.

Du He changed the subject and said, "However, although this resettlement method is not a problem at present, it may cause big problems hundreds of years later!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers on both sides of the hall all showed surprise on their faces.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Du He, why do you say that?"

Du He then explained: "Your Majesty, the people of Nanyue have never been submissive to our Tang Dynasty. They are only submitting now because of the great strength of our Tang Dynasty."

"Although we have set up the Protectorate of Annan in South Vietnam, South Vietnam still has its own royal family, and their people only trust their royal family members."

"South Vietnam has been stealing our Tang Dynasty's technology and culture. When the time is right, they will definitely launch a rebellion."

After a pause, Du He continued.

"Although the children of Baekje are young, they are not fools. It is impossible for them not to remember the hatred of their country being destroyed."

"By gathering them together, they can form a powerful force, and there is a risk of rebellion when they grow up."

suck~

There was a sound of people sucking in their breath in an instant in the hall.

Because they were thinking about things that would happen in the next few years or even decades, while Du He was thinking about hundreds or even thousands of years later.

Although Du He did not say that hundreds of years later, the Tang Dynasty might fall into chaos again like previous dynasties.

However, these ministers who were well-versed in history books knew in their hearts that no dynasty could last for a thousand years.

When the Tang Dynasty fell into chaos, it was the opportunity for these foreign races to rise.

Liu Li agreed and said, "What Du Shangshu said makes sense!"

"The foreigners are not Han Chinese after all. If we place them in a remote place like Jiaozhou, they may rebel and the imperial court will be unable to stop them!"

The current political and economic core of the Tang Dynasty is in the north, with the majority of the population and soldiers also in the north, so its control over the south is much weaker.

Especially in the area south of Jiaozhou, the Tang Dynasty's control was minimal.

Gao Shilian frowned and said, "If we don't place them in Jiaozhou, where else can we place them?"

"You can't place the children of Baekje in the heart of the Central Plains, right?"

The land in the Central Plains is fertile, and the people of the Tang Dynasty have lived here for generations. Where is the room left for these young children from Baekje?

At this moment, a thought came to the minds of these ministers: why did the large ships carrying Baekje not all sink?

If the ship had sunk to the bottom of the sea, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later.

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Du He, how do you think we can avoid these problems?"

Du He said in a clear voice: "In recent years, our people of the Tang Dynasty have been fighting wars year after year, and there are many lonely old people. We can separate these children and let the lonely old people adopt them."

"If these elderly people are unable to support themselves, the court can provide them with some grain as long as they don't starve to death."

"When they grow up, they can work with the elderly. The court will no longer need to care about them, and they can also support the elderly."

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Han people have been in a state of war, which lasted for nearly 50 years.

In Guanzhong, where labor service was the most severe, there were many households with only elderly people left.

The imperial court was aware of the problems of these elderly people, but was powerless to do anything about it.

After hearing Du Heti's suggestion, Li Shimin, who had been relaxing, sat up straight.

He asked with a look of excitement on his face: "My dear ministers, what do you think of this proposal made by Du He?"

There was silence for dozens of breaths.

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and praised: "The elderly will have someone to rely on, and the young will have someone to take care of. This proposal by Du Shangshu kills two birds with one stone!"

Xiao Yu also nodded and said: "Separate these children who don't know each other and send them to the lonely elderly to be taken care of. As long as they are properly guided, they will become the people of our Tang Dynasty in the future!"

Immediately afterwards, Hou Junji, Li Jing, Liu Li, Li Ji, Tang Jian and others all agreed to Du He's proposal.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then turned his head habitually to look at Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling and asked them.

"Fuji, Xuanling, what do you two think?"

Chang Sun Wuji said with an unchanged expression: "I agree with the suggestion made by Minister Du."

Fang Xuanling glanced at Du He, nodded and said, "What Minister Du said is better than what I suggested. I agree with it."

Seeing that all the ministers supported Du Heti's suggestion, Li Shimin no longer hesitated and directly gave orders to the Minister of Revenue Tang Jian.

"Tang Jian, your Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the household registration issues of the Tang Dynasty. This matter will be handed over to your Ministry of Revenue to complete!"

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters. There are a lot of government affairs to deal with on a daily basis, and the job of the Minister of Revenue is not an easy one.

Tang Jian stood up and said, "I obey your order!"

After discussing the important matters, Li Shimin stood up with a smile on his face and said.

"Let's stop here for today's meeting. The Ministry of Chancellery must implement these three issues as soon as possible and try to finalize the decree before this month!"

The ministers in the hall stood up together and bowed to Li Shimin.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please go back and get busy. In addition to solving these three problems, we also need to prepare for the worship of the Imperial Ancestral Temple the day after tomorrow."

"Please stay, Prince. I have something to tell you."

The ministers bowed to Li Shimin again.

"As ordered!"

After watching the ministers leave, Li Shimin retracted his gaze and said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"Great! I have already consulted the Grand Historian Yuan Tiangang, and he has found that five days from now will be a good day for burial."

"You will bury the remains of the Han ancestors under the monument!"
