Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 311 Garrison
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I understand that fields are the foundation of the empire, and these fields can be used to grow food, so that the empire's granary has sufficient food reserves." Li Kai said.

No matter what age, food is the most important material. We can live without money, but we cannot live without food.

"Now the bank lending business has spread all over the Tang Dynasty?" Li Chengqian asked.

If there is a loan business of the empire in the whole country, then it will be able to continue to expand outwards, so that the whole world can give loans to Datang.

As long as the other party's economic lifeline is controlled, the other party can only obediently be at the mercy of the empire, or even become a colony of the empire.

"Report to Your Majesty! Bank loans have already spread to all states and counties in Datang. In addition, countries around Datang have also borrowed from Datang." Li Kai said.

He has already put his hand into the pockets of other barbarians outside of Datang, and lent them money in exchange for benefits.

Li Chengqian was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Kai to have such an international mind, which made him very satisfied.

"Which countries have loaned us money?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Silla, Baekje, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Uighur, Pugu, and other vassal states of the Tang Dynasty and tribes that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty."

"I have a detailed account book with you. If Your Majesty is interested, I will go back and bring it to Your Majesty." Li Kai said.

"No need! I don't look at any ledgers anymore. You continue to infiltrate the tribes around the Tang Dynasty or the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and lend money to these vassal states and tribes in need." Li Chengqian said.

The benefits of doing so can make these vassal states more dependent on Datang's economy, make them closer to Datang, and make them lose their fighting spirit under the corruption of money.

Slowly being completely tamed by Datang through various methods, it will take a long process to achieve the desired effect in a gentle way. Whether it can be successful or not depends on future development.

Now that Tuyuhun has borrowed money from Datang Bank, he has even more reason to station troops around Tuyuhun. He stationed troops in Tuyuhun on the grounds of protecting the borrowing country, and no one can say anything.

At that time, if Tubo dared to send troops to Tuyuhun, Datang would have enough reasons to prevent Tubo from annexing Tuyuhun.

Moreover, the Tang army stationed on the plateau near Tuyuhun, after adaptation, can no longer be afraid of altitude sickness, which will be of great help to attack Luosuo in the future.

"No!" Li Kai saluted.

"Okay! That's it for today, you all step back! Go back and think about what you should do, especially for bank wealth management products. You must come up with an effective plan as soon as possible." Li Chengqian said.

"No! I will leave!" Yu Bo and Li Kai bowed and left.

After they left, Li Chengqian fell into contemplation of how to develop the empire in the future.

After a while, Li Chengqian recovered from his contemplation, and said to Wang Quan: "Go and call Cheng Wuting to me."

"No!" Wang Quan took the order to retreat.

Wang Quan quickly called Cheng Wuting to meet Li Chengqian.

"Chen Wuting, the general who leads the army on the left, pays homage to His Majesty!" Cheng Wuting paid homage to His Majesty.

"Freedom of courtesy! Give me a seat! Give me tea!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Wuting stood up and sat down beside him. The maid brought the tea and put it on the table next to him, then stepped back.

"I wonder what your Majesty's purpose is when you summon your ministers?" Cheng Wuting asked.

"I want you to go to Lingzhou, select [-] elite soldiers, go to Dafeichuan in Tuyuhun territory, and then station troops in Dafeichuan."

"I want an elite soldier who can adapt to the plateau environment in case of emergency. You can choose and change people as you like."

"As long as they can't adapt to the plateau environment, you can replace them. If we want to have enough troops, at least one hundred thousand people must be there."

"Lingzhou, and the counties and counties around Lingzhou, you can select suitable candidates at will." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian decided to send a group of soldiers to stay on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau first. After adapting to the plateau environment, if Tubo is restless, he will send troops to destroy Tubo to avoid future troubles.

For the Tang army, the most difficult opponent is not Tubo, but altitude sickness. After all, the territory of Datang belongs to low-altitude areas, while the high principle belongs to high-altitude areas.

It is impossible to march from low altitudes to high altitudes and eliminate them. Soldiers cannot adapt to the high altitude environment at all, and they will have altitude sickness, which will only damage or lose the combat effectiveness of the army.

"No! Is Your Majesty planning to start a war with Tubo?" Cheng Wuting asked.

In Cheng Wuting's perception, in the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, only Tubo has the strength to threaten the border of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Tuyuhun and other tribes, there was nothing to worry about. Cheng Wuting didn't take them seriously. The only one he could take a fancy to was Tubo.

"If you don't have long-term considerations, you must have near-term worries! Tubo and Datang are relatives by marriage. Although the relationship is good now, it doesn't mean that it will be so good in the future."

"We have to take precautions before they happen. At that moment, we will have enough strength to fight against the Tubo army." Li Chengqian said.

Cheng Wu quite understood Li Chengqian's meaning, and then said: "Your Majesty! Dafeichuan is in the territory of Tuyuhun and belongs to the territory of Tuyuhun. Can Tuyuhun allow us to garrison in Dafeichuan?"

This is what Cheng Wu is quite worried about. After all, it is their territory, so you can go as you please. Although they are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, they may not be able to agree to the suzerain's army stationed in their own country.

How can other people sleep on the side of the couch!

Once Datang is allowed to garrison troops in Dafeichuan, it is like hanging a sword over Tuyuhun's head, which may fall at any time.

Just ask, from top to bottom in Tuyuhun, who can sleep peacefully, and Tuyuhun will definitely be opposed by that time.

If it were him, Cheng Wuting, there would be strong opposition, and no one would want to put danger by his side.

"You don't have to worry about this. Today's Tuyuhun economy is more developed than before. That's because Tuyuhun borrowed a lot of money from Datang Bank. According to the contract, Tuyuhun uses Dafeichuan and its surrounding territories."

"As a mortgage, I will borrow from Datang Bank, and I will have the right to use Dafeichuan and its surrounding territories for 50 years."

"If Tuyuhun wants to take back those places, he must have enough wealth to redeem them. No one in Tuyuhun is willing to save money and save money to redeem Dafeichuan, so you can garrison wherever you want with peace of mind." Li Cheng dry road.

Who would want to go back to the days when there was not enough to eat after getting used to the life of big fish and big meat, rich clothes and good food.

It is easy to go from thrifty to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Under the sugar-coated shells of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun has already surrendered!
As long as they can live a good life, love the garrison and let him garrison!
