Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 385 Meeting with Gao Jifu

Just when Tubo was working hard and preparing to find a new way out for his country.

At this moment, Li Tai also saw the unkempt Tubo captives being escorted over one after another in Chang'an, and at the same time, he also needed to go to Honglu Temple to apply for the corresponding procedures.

There is no way, the number of 18 Tibetan captives is a bit too much, even if they are transported at one time for one meal a day, there will be great pressure on both the organization of operations and the supply of food.

In addition, Wang Xuance himself was actually quite short of manpower, so Wang Xuance played to Li Tai and sent 12 people.

He kept 6 people in his own hands. After all, such people who can be used to death are really rare.

Wang Xuance planned to build a road from Hehuang Valley to Qinghai quickly by crossing Riyue Mountain.

He didn't have any manpower at hand, and he happened to capture so many Tubo slaves, so he naturally let them fight.

And Wang Xuance also directly said that you are already prisoners of the Tang Dynasty, but our Datang is kind, as long as you complete this project, you will be able to escape the treatment of prisoners.

We will divide the land for you and let you establish tribes here.

Wang Xuance did not have the right to make them Han Chinese, because this thing definitely needs the nod of Honglu Temple.

It is no problem for him, a frontier general, to let one or two Tubo people enter Chinese nationality, but let these more than 6 Tubo people get out of their nationality...

Wang Xuance, what are you planning to do!
But to some extent, these people are Wang Xuance's personal trophies.

If they were allowed to establish Qiang tribes on the spot, the imperial court would turn a blind eye, and would not care too much if they closed one eye.

Because the border area is a mixture of Han and Qiang, and the tribes formed by multiple Tubo ethnic groups, if replaced by some big men, it may be regarded as a confidant, but for Datang, isn’t it just one more servant of his own, making it seem It's very strange.

Don't say it's just that there is an extra Tubo tribe in the frontier. Think about the generals under Li Shimin, Ashina Sheer, who lost his mind and Qibi Heli. What is the mere defeat of the Tubo tribe.

As for the 12 people among them, because of the limited carrying capacity of the road, Wang Xuance divided them into three batches for transportation.

The first batch was escorted by Xuefu soldiers led by Xue Rengui himself. Although there were only [-] Xuefu soldiers with [-] Tubo captives, these Tubo captives did not dare to see the thick armor of Xuefu soldiers that reflected cold light from time to time. Say what.

When these people were sent to Chang'an, they needed to be registered by Honglu Temple. If they were to be pardoned or educated to become Han people in the future, they would need to be reported to Honglu Temple for verification. Only after passing the verification could they be allowed to become Han people.

But generally speaking, it is not easy to go from slave to commoner.

After doing a few tasks that are likely to die, but survive, you will be eligible to be freed from slavery, and then learn Chinese, Chinese, Chinese etiquette, and all kinds of miscellaneous things.

To be honest, Li Tai didn't think it depended on the fact that 12 Tibetan slaves would come to him one after another, but Li Tai was not sure how many Tibetan slaves would survive with so many people until the end of the project.

But in any case, this group of people added to him, and his road construction project has increased a lot of speed.

In particular, many dangerous jobs have enough cannon fodder to make substitutes.

Li Tai continued to walk into the Honghe Temple, and soon saw the new Honghe Temple Shaoqing Gao Jifu.

His promotion route has become completely different from the original promotion route in history, because he not only understands etiquette regulations, but also worked as a high-ranking official in Youzhou, and has his own method on how to deal with foreigners.

So Gao Jifu was pulled over to be the Young Minister of Honghe Temple, even if he did well, it is not impossible to become the Minister of Honghe Temple within five to ten years, after all, at least the position of Minister of Honghe Temple is still vacant for now.

"I've seen the King of Wei, and the presence of the King of Wei today is really glorious!" Gao Jifu was also slightly delighted to see Li Tai.

"I've met Gao Shaoqing!" Li Tai saluted Gao Jifu slightly, and then said, "It's been a few years since we parted in Youzhou, but when we met today, Gao Shaoqing let me talk at the door?"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Gao Jifu hurriedly said, "Please come inside, please come inside!"

Soon, Gao Jifu and Li Tai entered the Honghe Temple, and when they were seated and refreshments were served, Li Tai drank a sip of tea and ate a mouthful of crispy crispy cakes. The shortbread melted completely.

Li Tai swallowed the tea, opened his mouth slightly, and spit out a long white dragon-like mist.

Gao Jifu looked at Li Tai and said, "Your Majesty Wei, you came here today not only for the registration of those Tubo captives! After all, Honglu Temple has cooperated with Wei Wangfu for many years, so there must be a set of procedures for transferring foreigners to serve as corvees under your command." !"

To be honest, Gao Jifu was not familiar with the working process at the beginning, when he saw Xue Rengui bringing [-] Tibetan slaves, he thought he might be celebrating the New Year at Honglu Temple this year.

But in fact, after getting familiar with the process, I found that my main task was just to sign and seal.

Although Gao Jifu continued to monitor for a long time with his own responsible attitude, he soon discovered that this whole system was operating quite skillfully between Honglu Temple and Wei Palace.

It's just that when you log in with your initial identity, you need to back up three copies, but you don't need to record the names of these aliens, but use numbers to record them.

After completing the initial identity login, all that remains is that people need to hold various documents to obtain approval documents.

But even so, from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, this batch of documents was finally driven out by the Wei Palace.

Compared with the identity registration of this kind of captives, Honglu Temple basically received no money.

But if the various alien slaves brought by Honglu Temple were traded to the King of Wei, it would basically be a penny for adult men, and a hundred pennies for women and children.

To some extent, the current registration can be regarded as Honglu Temple performing normal government functions.

Although it also gave the king of Wei face, and the entire transaction model is mature, but the enthusiasm is not high.

"Indeed! It's not just for this!" Li Tai looked at Gao Jifu and said, "To be honest, it's because of Tubo's affairs!"

"Tuban?!" Gao Jifu was taken aback when Li Tai mentioned Tubo, and said:

"Tubo has sent people to our Great Tang to seek peace, and we must forgive others. The Great Tang is a big country, so don't haggle over every detail with a small country!"

Li Tai couldn't help squinting his eyes when he heard Gao Jifu's words, what should he say with this big country mentality?
Gao Jifu continued: "If this small country doesn't know what to do and continues to provoke me, Tang Dynasty, then it will be wiped out in the future.

You are the King of Wei in the Tang Dynasty, you must look at the world, and don't be bound by this little Tubo. "

"..." For a moment, Li Tai didn't know what to complain about Gao Jifu's mentality.

But think about it carefully, ever since the Eastern Turks were killed during the Zhenguan period, and then Tuyuhun was destroyed, and Wang Xuance even defeated Tubo in Dafeichuan, the spirit of the entire Tang Dynasty has become more and more high.

Except for Goguryeo, which smashed the copper peas of the Sui Dynasty, which other foreign races were put in the eyes of the increasingly angry Datang.

It can be said that for Datang, Goguryeo is really a very special country.

Although it can only be regarded as the top kingdom now, even without the existence of Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo even has the potential to grow into an empire.

But for Datang, if the battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as the battle in which Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks.

When Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, he really pushed his heart to the highest level.

At least for all Tang people, at that moment they felt very clearly that they were stronger than the former peak of the Sui Dynasty.

This kind of baptism of mentality can be regarded as the transformation of the Tang Dynasty into the Tang Empire.

Generally speaking, if the mentality of normal empire citizens wants to expand like this, it must be necessary to destroy an empire of the same level.

However, due to historical reasons, Goguryeo became the best substitute and completed the baptism of the mentality of the people and officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"I didn't mean to target Tubo! You see, I look like that kind of person!" Li Tai said with a calm smile.

Gao Jifu didn't say much, just looked at Li Tai silently, as if he wanted to see what Li Tai was going to do next.

As for King Wei's mind and eyes, hehe, anyone who knows King Wei doesn't know.

"At least this time, I really don't mean to target Tubo!" Li Tai said seriously,

"I just hope that we can stop fighting with the surrounding alien races. You know me, and I like to educate!"

When Gao Jifu heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He also worked as a corvee incognito. Although it was a bit hard, at least he had a few bites of food.

Your so-called enlightenment refers to the bones of the aliens you like to be educated and those who cannot be educated. There must be a few more or less walking on every foot of the road in Youzhou!
To be honest, this is where Gao Jifu admired King Wei but didn't understand King Wei.

The king of Wei could really treat the foreign race equally, as long as the foreign race accepted and reached the Sinicization standard set by Li Tai.

Li Tai will really let them leave their original ethnicity and let them log in to the Han household registration.

Maybe some Han people discriminate against them more or less, or suppress them in other ways, but the benefits should be given to these new Han people, which are really delivered to them.

Even if anyone is detained, they can go directly to Wei Wangfu to file a complaint.Of course, this is just to say, after all, no foreigner really dared to go like this.

However, Gao Jifu could see Li Tai's fair attitude towards the aliens who were newly registered in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tai really regarded those people as Han Chinese, as his own people.

But for those aliens who have not yet become Chinese, even if they are only one step away from reaching the standard, as long as they have not reached the corresponding standard, Li Tai's attitude towards them will be extraordinarily indifferent.

It's so indifferent that it doesn't even seem like it's looking at people, or even livestock, it's just looking at a pile of consumables.

In short, it is really difficult for Gao Jifu to understand Li Tai's indifference to the aliens, and his calmness when the aliens become Tang people.

But it is undeniable that what Li Tai did was indoctrination in the end, and he was just using Wei Wang's own means to indoctrinate.

At least the current effect seems to be that compared with Confucianism's method of slowly educating people, Wei Wang's method is much faster.

Not to mention the short time, even if it is a little longer, three years is definitely enough to complete the transformation of any alien race from beginning to end.

Even these aliens are somewhat different from the Han people in appearance, but they can speak Chinese, practice Chinese rituals, and some even write Chinese characters better than most of the local Han people.

As for those alien races who have not yet become Chinese after three years, unless they have mastered very special unique skills, they are basically dead long ago.

Because of Li Tai's attitude, the more aliens who resist Sinicization, the harder and more dangerous the work, and the more accepting Sinicization, the lighter and safer the work.

"What do you want to do, King Wei?!" Gao Jifu took a deep breath and said to Li Tai.

"If possible, I hope you can send some people who are good at elementary school to establish a Confucian school in Tubo!"

Li Tai said with a smile on his face, "I want to spread Confucianism and Chinese characters in Tubo territory, and cultivate friends who are close to the Tang Dynasty.

The main purpose is to help Tubo and Datang establish communication and contact, and avoid misunderstandings such as the battle of Dafeichuan in the future. "

"This..." Gao Jifu couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he heard Li Tai's words, looked at Li Tai and said:

"Wei Wang, your agricultural school also has liberal arts, why don't you let them go!"

"They are not capable enough!" Li Tai shrugged, "What I need is the kind of person who can help Tubo complete the system reform and move closer to the Great Tang system.

Those from agricultural colleges can teach and educate people, but my purpose is not just to let them teach and educate people.

Secondly, I am not willing to let them go, although the liberal arts in agricultural colleges play more of a supporting role.

However, liberal arts students from agricultural colleges pay more attention to mathematics and production. I just want to hand over our Tang culture to Tubo, and I don’t want to bring our technology from Tang Dynasty.

So, let's see if there are any traditional Confucian students who can get over it! "

"Why don't you go by yourself!" Gao Jifu's face turned dark when he heard Li Tai's words.

Of course he was very clear that if he did such a thing, those Confucian students who were thrown to Tubo would scold him in the future!

"I actually think so too, but apart from Mr. Yan Qinli, you think I'm someone who knows Confucian students!

So you can choose Gao Shaoqing yourself, but you still have to send Confucian scholars there.

All this is not for me, but for Datang!
By the way, there are Zhang Xuansu's students and even his son's, I think they are quite suitable! "

Anyway, Li Tai at this moment is very clear, if this matter is brought up on his own initiative, as long as he is a normal Confucian student in the court, he is afraid that he will instinctively oppose him for the sake of opposition.

But it would be much better if Gao Jifu's Honglu Temple came forward.

In particular, this matter is really beneficial to Datang. For Gao Jifu who just came to Honglu Temple, if this matter is done well, it can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Honglu Temple.

　There is another update that will be later, try to get it out before twelve o'clock.
