I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 586 Reward for Birth
"emperor."

"Now the time is ripe. I propose that we abolish the name of Goguryeo, move the King of Goguryeo to Chang'an, and directly change Goguryeo into a prefecture." Zheng Xuan said loudly.

Li Zheng shook his head and said with a playful smile: "My Tang Dynasty is the Three Kingdoms of the Celestial Empire, and I am the Son of Heaven. How can I do these things? Wait for another two years."

"Let's talk about it after I destroy Japan."

Hear this.

Many ministers were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Now that Goguryeo has become part of the Tang Dynasty, it has become a fact, and what the emperor said sounds strange.

"remember."

"What I want is to support the puppet government to control foreign countries."

"This way, the Tang Dynasty won't have to pay too much in manpower, but will gain more. Those foreigners won't hate the Tang Dynasty, but the puppet emperor."

“If chaos really occurs and we use their people to deal with their people, it will be enough for the Tang Dynasty to watch and help.” Li Zheng said with a sneer.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Zheng to treat foreigners and ethnic groups the same way he treats his own people of the Tang Dynasty.

The same was true for the neighboring Goguryeo. If the Tang Dynasty had taken control of it later, it would have had to spend much less manpower and material resources.

These are what Li Zheng learned in later generations, and he learned from the Westerners.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

The ministers shouted.

correct. "

"Are there more children born in our Tang Dynasty now?" Li Zheng asked Qin Jiansheng.

"Return to the Emperor."

"Now the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and everyone has land to farm. The number of children born has increased several times compared to a few years ago." Qin Jiansheng said immediately.

"not enough."

"Far from enough."

"The population of the descendants of Yan and Huang in our Tang Dynasty must be larger." Li Zheng said in a deep voice, with thought in his eyes.

In the future world, the Tang Dynasty, where the sun never sets, must be based on the people of Yan and Huang, and population is the key.

"Preach my will."

"Issued together with the announcement that the Tang Dynasty controls the Shi Khanate."

"From now on."

"Each household that has one child left will be rewarded with one tael of silver, the second will be rewarded with five taels, and the third will be rewarded with ten taels."

"The more children you have, the greater the rewards the court will give you."

"This matter has been designated as a national policy and must be strictly implemented," Li Zheng said immediately.

Hearing Li Zheng's order.

All civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

This kind of national policy is unique throughout history, giving rewards for having children?

This is truly unprecedented.

"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has a large population. If we use having children as a means to make money, it will have a great impact on the treasury of our Tang Dynasty. Even if the treasury is full now, it cannot withstand such a reward." Qin Jiansheng stood up and said, with a worried look on his face.

"I second the proposal."

"From ancient times to now, there has never been a reward for having children."

"Your Majesty, please consider this matter carefully."

"This matter has a huge impact on the national treasury."

All the civil and military officials in the court spoke out, and were very surprised at the reward plan proposed by Li Zheng, and tried their best to dissuade him.

The population of the Yanhuang ethnic group in the Tang Dynasty was more than 60 million. Even if we exclude the elderly, the weak and the young, there were at least one or two thousand people who could reproduce. This number was really not small.

"Your Majesty."

"Do you know how much gold and silver and how many resources our Tang Dynasty can get from the Shi Khanate this time?" Li Zheng smiled and asked back at the anxious ministers in the court.

All the civil and military officials in the court raised their heads and looked at Li Zheng.

Look of confusion.

All along, wars have always been wars of attrition. Even if you conquer the enemy's territory and incorporate it into your territory, it is difficult to make up for the attrition.

Li Zheng raised his hand and said, "Five years." In the puzzled eyes of the ministers.

"In this battle, our Tang Dynasty plundered the Shi Khanate's treasury, as well as the nobles of the cities along the way for thousands of miles, plus their stored weapons and food."

"It's more than what our country needs."

"Converted into silver, that would be 200 million taels."

Hear this.

All the ministers were stunned.

"emperor."

"After plundering so much wealth, wouldn't the Shi Khanate be in chaos? Wouldn't it be detrimental to the control of our Tang Dynasty?" Zheng Xuan asked.

"They are in chaos, what does it have to do with me?"

"The reason why I don't manage them directly and send officials to govern them is that I don't want to give these foreign races the national policies that the Tang Dynasty gives to its people."

"Your Majesty."

"You must always remember that those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

"We must always be on guard against these alien races."

"The main ethnic group of our Tang Dynasty in the future can only be our Yanhuang ethnic group."

"The purpose of announcing the gift of childbirth to the world is to increase the population of the Yanhuang ethnic group in our Great Tang, so that they can become the most powerful people in the world one day and rule over these foreign races."

"Moreover, the money looted this time is only the first step. In the future, the resources of the entire Shi Khanate will belong to my Tang Dynasty. If they cause chaos, I will send troops to suppress them and make them enslaved by my Tang Dynasty forever. Let them manage their own people." Li Zheng spread out his hands and said in a majestic voice.

Hear this.

All the civil and military officials in the court were moved to an indescribable state.

There was an indescribable sense of pride in the hearts of each of them.

He is proud of being a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and even more so of being a member of the Yanhuang ethnic group.

What Li Zheng said was very clear, and perhaps it was also the future national policy of the Tang Dynasty against foreign races.

They used their labor and their resources to ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

As for them, the Tang Dynasty will not give anything in return. All it needs to pay is some officials and some troops to supervise them. Nothing else.

Now that the Shi Khanate has just surrendered, Li Zheng will definitely formulate some rules for them. For example, the number of their troops cannot exceed a certain limit, and there will be interference with firearms. They are not allowed to possess firearms, let alone weapons that are too advanced, etc.

Restrict them so that they will always be controlled by the Tang Dynasty and unable to escape.

of course.

There is also the Three Corpses Brain Pill that must be used thoroughly. Now it is only the dignitaries in the capital of the Shi Khanate who are affected, but Li Zheng had already made instructions before leaving the Shi Khanate. The next step is to let all those who are equivalent to prefects and military commanders in the Shi Khanate take this poison pill and keep them firmly under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Once you have them under control, you won't have to worry about anything anymore.

As long as they are given benefits and allowed to continue to have power and wealth, they will not look for a good way to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

This is equivalent to father and son, they are incest.

But Li Zheng doesn't care about these, as long as there are no traitors in the Tang Dynasty.

If so, Li Zheng will let them know what pain is.

"I understand."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

With so much money, the ministers completely understood why Li Zheng issued such a national policy.

As long as it has no impact on the country's foundation and can also increase the population of the Yanhuang ethnic group, this is indeed a good idea.

"of course."

“This is a national policy.”

“It’s just a preliminary implementation.”

"It only applies to the first year after the announcement. In the second year, the silver reward will be reduced to one tael, two taels, and so on."

Li Zheng smiled.
