This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 550 Volume Five Get Rid of Dependence on Datang
Li Chengqian is indeed the best at seizing the opportunity.

When Changsun Chong mentioned Datang's wolf ambitions, he talked about the threat of Datang, and immediately put Datang on the opposite side.

Of course, if he really thinks Datang is a threat?

That's not necessarily.

At least for a short period of time, the Tang Dynasty could not threaten the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, Li Er still needs face.

The reason why he said that was to create pressure for everyone!Pressure from Datang.

Chang Sun Chong was also taken aback when he heard the words, but he quickly came back to his senses and said immediately: "Your Highness is right. In the future, the biggest obstacle to the development of our Great Ming will be Datang. If we cannot solve the problem of Datang, The development of my court of the Ming Dynasty will be limited by it.

And, don't you forget. "Speaking of this, Chang Sun Chong looked at everyone and said, "Today's Datang is the largest downstream market of our Daming Baigong!"

They have the ability to curb the development of my Ming Dynasty at any time. In other words, if I think of my majestic Ming court, but my gate of life is contained by others, isn't this a threat? "

At first, Changsun Chong was actually unwilling to face these things, but when Changsun Wuji planned to sacrifice his political career, he suddenly realized.

Maybe politics is like this, only positions, no friendship.

After thinking about these things, Changsun Chong immediately consulted many people seriously, and even invited all the second-generation ancestors in Chang'an to have a meal together. Be clear about what your position should be.

It is precisely because of this that he wrote such a memorial.

However, Li Chengqian has not glanced at the memorial until now, but looked at Changsun Chong with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "What Changsun Shilang said is true. In recent years, my Ming Dynasty has indeed developed rapidly, but in the final analysis, it is still Borrowing the wind from the Tang Dynasty, even this king cannot deny this point.

Similarly, this has also become a bottleneck for my Ming's development.

Because the benefits that Datang can bring to us are limited after all.

Moreover, we rely on Datang to develop ourselves, and we will never be able to surpass Datang.

This is like the Tao River and the Yellow River. Although the Tao River is large, it is only a tributary of the Yellow River. How can a tributary surpass the mainstream? "

When Li Chengqian said this, everyone nodded.

This is a fact, everyone agrees.

In fact, they themselves are also aware of the current situation of Daming, and they are also thinking about the strategy of change, but change, how can it be so easy?
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Li Chengqian looked at Chang Sun Chong's memorial.

This eye-catching was a bit of a surprise. It could be seen that Chang Sun Chong really put his heart into it, and immediately nodded to Chang Sun Chong, saying: "The Minister of Changsun put his heart into it."

"The humble minister is just doing his duty as a courtier." Chang Sun Chong bowed immediately after hearing this.

Li Chengqian smiled, and said: "Then the eldest grandson servant, just tell me, what do you think?"

"My minister obeys." After Chang Sun Chong bowed to accept the order, he looked at the crowd and said, "Dear colleagues, I feel that since I, Ming, have discovered the problem, the first thing we need to prevent is Datang's sudden attack on us. Business shot.

This is not alarmist talk from lower officials, Datang does not have too many means to hit our business.

Not to mention the most extreme way of directly cutting off the trade between the two sides, even if it is to increase the tax on my Ming's goods, it will be a serious blow to my Ming's business.

Moreover, I can be sure that those old foxes in Chang'an will definitely do this!

Because they themselves feel threatened, everyone, don't forget that our existence is itself a threat to those old foxes in Chang'an. "

Not to mention, being born in the Changsun family is indeed Changsun Chong's luck. Because of his family background, the things he has been exposed to since he was a child are really different from those of ordinary children. I understood it at a very young age.

After all, what he heard and seen was the intrigue in the court, and his father, the old fox, taught him hand in hand, and he really learned a lot.

He didn't show it before, but at that time he was still dreaming of returning home, but this time, he really woke up completely.

As long as he became an official in the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not be able to return to the Tang Dynasty as an official of the Tang Dynasty, and before Li Chengqian ascended the throne of the Tang Dynasty, it would be very difficult for him to return to the court as an official of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no way, he has already been stamped with the obvious mark of Ming Dynasty!
And when everyone heard what he said, they also understood.

One emperor and one courtier, what's so obscure about it?

"Then from the perspective of the eldest grandson, what should we do?" Wang Xuance asked immediately.

Although his official rank is higher than that of Chang Sun Chong, he has never put on official airs in front of Chang Sun Chong, not to mention him, almost no one in the hall has ever done so.

Of course, it's not just because of Chang Sun Chong's relationship with Li Chengqian or Chang Sun Chong's family background, but mainly because these guys have never put on official airs in front of the common people.

There is no way, Li Chengqian has always been very friendly to the common people, as the saying goes, "acts like others", that's probably how it is.

To put it bluntly, they did not dare to offend Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, Chang Sun Chong cupped his hands and said, "The lower officials feel that if we want to solve my Daming's problem, we can start from three aspects.

First, increase investment in the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor.

As we all know, over [-]% of my Da Ming's income now comes from Da Ming's various workshops, and we have indeed enjoyed the dividends of the workshops.

Even if Datang wants to curb our development, in a short period of time, it is impossible to directly tear our face.

The greatest possibility for them is to develop their own industry. I believe you all have heard that Datang is indeed carrying out industrial reforms.

Then, as long as we maintain the leading position in industrial technology, we can always occupy a certain advantage.

Of course, they may also impose heavy taxes on my Ming's goods, which is unavoidable, but even so, as long as we maintain a technological lead, it will be difficult for Datang to cause irreparable damage to my Ming's business . "

"That's the reason." Pusiruo nodded and said, "I also agree with Mr. Changsun Shilang on this point, the leading technology can indeed give us a long-term advantage.

It’s just that my Daming already invests quite a lot in the Ministry of Industry and General Supervisors every year, should I increase my investment? "

"Add." This time it was not Zhang Sun Chong who answered, but Li Qinjian, "Pu Shangshu may not know something. Although my Ming Dynasty still has an advantage in craftsmanship, the Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and its population is dozens of times that of my Ming Dynasty." There are many, many of them are capable people with lofty ideals.

Among them, there are countless crafts scattered among the people. Last year, a down-and-out scholar in the Tang Dynasty, when tidying up the old house, found a handbook of his ancestors, which recorded the long-lost method of pouring steel .

And things like this are actually not uncommon in Datang. After all, the background of Datang is far from comparable to my Ming Dynasty. "

"Yes." Chang Sun Chong also nodded, and said, "No matter in which respect, compared with Datang, we lack some foundation.

The only thing we can compare with Datang is the creativity of our craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the investment of the Ministry of Industry and the supervisor. "

"What about the second one?" On this issue, everyone agreed.

Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Chong continued, "The second is the Western Regions.

If we want to completely get rid of our dependence on Datang, then my Ming Dynasty must have more channels, so controlling the Western Regions is the most important thing.

Although the Western Regions are not rich in products, it is a must pass through to connect Dashi, Persia and other countries.

Strategic and commercial significance are equally important!
Moreover, if my Great Ming owns the entire Western Region, at least we will have more confidence in conflicts with Datang in the future.

The third is Tubo.

In fact, it is not a day or two for me to manage Tibet and the Western Regions. We have not been in a hurry before, and everyone knows the reason.

But today is different from the past, even if we don't guard against Datang, Datang will inevitably guard against us.

Therefore, at this time, we only have to strengthen ourselves to be government affairs.

The reason why the Western Regions are managed is to avoid being too dependent on Datang in business.

It is also to accumulate more wealth and food.

Then a little management of Tubo is for the real strength of oneself!

If we completely annexed the entire Tubo, then not only would we be able to pass through Tubo, trade with Tianzhu and other countries, and most importantly, the Tubo warriors would be able to strengthen my Daming's 'body'.

After all, when a child walks down the street with a piece of gold, there will always be uneasy and kind eyes from people with evil intentions.

If everyone is innocent and pregnant, if I, Daming, don't have a strong 'body', how can I keep the wealth we have accumulated through hard work?
Therefore, these three points must be grasped together! "

After he finished speaking, everyone was also thinking.

However, Li Chengqian knew that Changsun Chong must have consulted others for this memorial.

Because the so-called three points are indeed the most important points in Li Chengqian's plan.

It's not that Chang Sun Chong doesn't have the ability to sum up these three points, he may have the ability, but he definitely can't sum it up like this in just a few days.

Because, behind these things, there is a bigger purpose hidden, which Chang Sun Chong didn't say.

"What do you think?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Return to Your Highness." Qibi Heli heard the words, and immediately said, "I feel that what the eldest grandson Shilang said is reasonable. If we can gain in these three aspects at the same time, then my Ming Dynasty will be able to rival the Great Tang Dynasty." Empire!

To put it bluntly, at that time, even if Datang really belongs to someone else, I, Daming, will not be afraid! "

Just imagine, Tubo, Western Regions, Tuyuhun, and Western Turks all became the territory of Ming Dynasty. At that time, even in terms of territory, Ming Dynasty was not inferior to Tang Dynasty at all, and even had a slight surplus.

And such a huge empire, saying that it is not afraid of the Great Tang, is really not exaggerating.

It is still possible to fight against the courts.

"Maybe my Ming's current strength can achieve the best of the three?" Pusiruo said hesitantly, "Tubo is already strong, and it has been even more so in these years. It is even more difficult to defeat Tuyuhun.

Moreover, there are dozens of countries in the Western Regions. Although they are singled out, none of them are my enemies, but how can they not understand the truth?

If we really want to fight, I, Daming, may not be able to deal with it. "

Although he also knew that as long as Daming annexed the Western Regions and Tubo, he would be able to rise with the tide, but that was the best situation.

Fighting on two fronts, today's Ming Dynasty does not have such strength.

Changsun Chong shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Pu Pushe was joking, let's talk about the countries of the Western Regions first, when he went north to attack Murong Fuyun, His Highness had already promised that he would not attack the Western Regions for 20 years. weapons.

How can my Highness Daming break his promise? "

"Then..." Pusiruo suddenly seemed to remember something when he said this, "You mean the caravans His Highness asked us to form?"

"Yes." Chang Sun Chong said, "Actually, in places like the Western Regions, if you really want to destroy them, you may not have to use swords.

Although when they encounter a foreign enemy, they will hold the mentality of being cold-hearted and unanimous, but when there is no foreign enemy, they will fight themselves upside down.

At this time, no matter which one or which two we support, there will be many contradictions between them.

Of course, this is just one way.

If, as His Highness explained before, we infiltrate their commercial fields, occupy the commercial shares of various countries, and firmly control their markets in our hands, it will be easier for them to collapse.

As for Tubo, isn't Su Pi still entangled with it? "

Speaking of this, Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Chengqian, bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's time to increase support for Su Pi."

"Huh?" Hearing Chang Sun Chong's words, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "That's right, it is indeed time to increase support for Su Pi, after all, when Tubo colluded with the remnants of Queen Su Pi's faction and went north, this enemy , I still remember it!"

In fact, he didn't intend to take action against Tubo so soon, but this was the first time Chang Sun Chong expressed his heart, and he still had to support it.

In order to prevent Chang Sun Chong from being hit when he expresses his feelings for the first time, this guy will not dare to speak easily in the future.

Recognition is the best encouragement for a person.

"My lords, what do you think of this matter?" Li Chengqian said and looked at everyone again.

Everyone is actually a little confused, what do you think?See with your eyes?

They couldn't understand everything today, maybe it was too much change, which made them uncomfortable for a while.

In the final analysis, the people present were still too tender after all.

Let them do what you tell them to do, and they might be able to do it well, because they are really serious.

But if you want to say that you expect them to govern the country now, hehe, that is really asking Yu Blind.

Of course, except Qibi Heli.

After all, this guy was born in a big sweat, and he is much better than everyone else in this respect, so he said immediately after hearing the words: "My minister thinks it is feasible.

Only by reducing our reliance on Datang can we, Great Ming, break through the shackles of development.

Moreover, the Western Regions and Tubo are indeed what we have planned for a long time. At this time, even if the opportunity is not fully ripe, if we continue to explore for a while, there must be an opportunity.

At this moment, it might be a good thing to plan ahead. "

Li Chengqian looked at others and asked, "Where are the rest waiting?"

"My minister seconded the proposal."

"My minister seconded the proposal."

……

For a while, the ministers seconded.

From their point of view, Qi Bi He Li, who has the most experience, has supported them, so they naturally saw something.

This is also the sad thing about the officials of Ming Dynasty now, the experience is too scarce...

"Hmph." But Li Chengqian snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said, "But this king is not satisfied!"

　Sorry, in the past two days, I came to Calvin.

　　Two, come on, I have encountered some disgusting things at work recently, my ex-girlfriend came back from maternity leave... a work unit, working in a shift, and training my heart in the world of mortals... It's embarrassing.
