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

Chapter 592 Colony

This is of course true.

As the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian naturally had access to the same external intelligence as Li Shimin.

"hehe."

"This is already a fact, so you don't need to worry."

"Now the territory of our Great Tang has reached an unprecedented level. Even the former powerful Han Dynasty did not have the vast territory of our Great Tang."

"The Turks were also very powerful in the past, stretching from the sea in the east to the Pamir Mountains in the west, but their territory is probably not as vast as the current territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Speak of it."

"Li Zheng."

"I only know that the Shi Khanate has a vast territory. How big are they exactly?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Father, do you know how big our Tang Dynasty is?"

"nonsense."

"It's such a big map, it's not like I can't see it." Li Shimin said unhappily.

"The territory of the Shi Khanate is larger than that of our Tang Dynasty. Even if the Northern Frontier Prefecture is included, it is still smaller than the territory of the Shi Khanate." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"So big?"

Both Li Shimin and his son Li Chengqian were stunned.

This is completely different from what they imagined.

They thought that although the territory of the Shi Khanate was large, it was at most comparable to the Turkic Desert. But from what Li Zheng said, the territory of the Shi Khanate was even larger than that of the Tang Dynasty.

"really?"

Li Shimin didn't believe it.

"Father, this is the truth."

"I don't have to lie to you."

"but."

"The territory of the Shi Khanate can now be considered as the territory of our Great Tang."

"From now on, they will be colonies of our Tang Dynasty," Li Zheng said with a smile.

"What is a colony?" Li Chengqian immediately asked upon hearing this new term.

"They are vassal states controlled by the Tang Dynasty. Although we control them, we will not govern them with the Tang Dynasty's national policies for our people. We will only send some troops to garrison and some officials to take charge. Specifically, they manage their own people, and all their resources are supplied to the Tang Dynasty. The same applies to taxation." Li Zheng explained.

"I understand."

"Let them manage their own people. We in the Tang Dynasty won't have to pay too much, and we don't have to worry about their survival. We won't give them the grace of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and we can still obtain their resources."

"Wonderful."

Li Chengqian said with sudden enlightenment.

Just one click.

"Then in the future, when the Tang Dynasty goes on an expedition, can we also adopt this kind of colonial means?"

"Use poison pills to control their powerful people, use their powerful people to control them, and then colonize them."

"This is much easier than taking the trouble to govern. Although there will be a lot of chaos, it won't be as chaotic as the Tang Dynasty."

"This is really a good idea..." Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"good."

"This is also the colonial model I will promote when I go to conquer the world in the future."

"after."

"The whole world will respect our Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng said proudly.

"How did you come up with this crazy idea?"

"colony."

"It does have a meaning." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Li Zheng took a look and thought to himself, "I can't tell you that I learned this from Westerners. This is a method used by Westerners in later generations."

but.

In this day and age.

Li Zheng's method is unique and was used for the first time.

Later, the Tang Dynasty expanded.

Nor will they continue to treat the Northern Frontier Prefecture and Zhenla as their subjects with the same kindness.

That's why it was like this before.

Because over the years, the Turks have actually been assimilated into the Yanhuang ethnic group, there was just a national conflict. But now it is different, they are already part of the Tang Dynasty, so they can naturally integrate into it.

Even Goguryeo.

In the final analysis, they are also a branch of the Yanhuang ethnic group, but later generations are so arrogant that they really think they are the chosen ethnic group, but they don’t know that they are just a small branch of the Yanhuang ethnic group.

"Whatever is useful is a good thing."

"When our Tang Dynasty colonies spread all over the world, our Tang Dynasty will become the empire on which the sun never sets."

"Big brother."

"I will trouble you with government affairs in the future."

"I am going to fight with all my strength." Li Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and smiled.

As soon as Li Chengqian woke up.

Li Zheng also had an indescribable sense of relief.

"Li Zheng."

"Although the territory of our Tang Dynasty has expanded to this extent, we must still remember not to be excessive in militarism. War is a waste of money. If it really affects people's livelihood, chaos will surely occur."

"So you still have to be cautious." Li Chengqian warned very seriously.

Hear this.

Li Shimin and Li Zheng looked at each other.

They all laughed at the same time, "Hahaha."

"What are you laughing at?" Li Chengqian asked unhappily.

How can I be laughed at for making sense?

It would be fine if it was Li Zheng, but his father would also join in the fun.

"Boss."

"Do you know how full the Tang Dynasty's treasury is right now?"

"Do you know how much tax revenue I, Tang Beauty, can collect in a year?"

"These days are different."

"For the current Tang Dynasty, it may still need monetary support in the early stages, but as long as it succeeds, the war will make money, not burn money."

"When you take over the government affairs, you will know how prosperous our Tang Dynasty is now." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"good."

"All the records are there anyway."

"When the time comes, I will ask the six ministers to report everything to you, big brother, in case you just woke up and don't know the current situation of the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Looking at the father and brother in front of me, their undisguised mockery was evident.

Li Chengqian's expression was also very strange.

But deep down, he was feeling very jealous at the moment.

"Have the changes in the Tang Dynasty really been so great?"

“War doesn’t cost money, but it makes money?”

"The treasury is full?"

"When I was the crown prince, the national treasury was never full." Li Chengqian thought with some anxiety in his heart.

"All right."

"You just woke up, so it's not surprising that many things are unclear."

"You'll know when you take over the government."

"If you want to do something, just do it."

Li Shimin laughed, and then shouted outside the palace: "Liu Sheng."

There was a sound of footsteps.

Liu Sheng, dressed in armor, quickly ran into the hall.

"The minister is here."

Liu Sheng immediately knelt on one knee.

The moment of looking up.

After seeing Li Chengqian, Liu Sheng's face also showed joy.

He was promoted by Li Chengqian. Seeing Li Chengqian wake up, he was naturally very happy. "The prince has woken up. God bless you."

"Liu Sheng."

"I didn't expect to see you again." Li Chengqian also smiled.

"Stand up and talk." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the Supreme Emperor, and thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Sheng said immediately, his eyes filled with excitement.
