The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"Change does not happen overnight, and we have to be patient. Now the people of Gaochang are basically the same as the people of Datang. In the future, it will spread to the entire Western Region, followed by Central Asia."

When Li Xiang said this, Zhang Jiuli suddenly remembered something. If he hadn't been familiar with Li Xiang, he would never have been able to ask. But after growing up with Li Xiang, he naturally knows that if there is a problem, just ask him. , Li Xiang, who can answer you, will never hide anything. Working under such a lord is so exciting.

"Your Highness, I heard that you want to split the Anxi Protectorate into two parts?"

Zhang Jiuli heard this from others, and Li Xiang seemed to have this idea in his letters. The main reason is that the area here is too large. Originally, a capital talisman was set up in the Western Region, and the Anton Governor's Palace of the Arab Empire Set up a protective palace next to it.

"You are right. I plan to change this place step by step. Then we cannot mix all the administrative districts. Although the county system is also implemented around here, it is still divided into internal and external areas. For example, the original thirty-sixth century in the Western Region The areas of the Six Kingdoms were all set up as the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and then the area formerly occupied by the Governor-General of Andong was set up as the Protectorate of Anxi.”

Li Xiang's split is actually very simple. The places that originally belonged to our country are all called the Protectorate of the Western Regions. As for Central Asia, that is, those countries in modern society, Li Xiang is all set up as the Protectorate of Anxi. .

"Your Highness understands your thoughts. After all, these belong to two categories. Originally, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions had more internal exchanges with us, and their thoughts were similar to ours. As for the newly occupied areas, although they implement the county system, Moreover, they are severely punished, but these people do not have a strong sense of belonging. Although we have oppressed them very hard, these people still will not surrender to us in the short term. "

Zhang Jiuli is a capable person. After the war in Sichuan ended, Li Xiang kept this guy by his side, not only because of his contribution to solving the chieftain's problem, but also because of his brain. Easy to use.

Take most people in the imperial court as an example and classify this area as the Western Regions. In the eyes of these people in the imperial court, whether it is internal or external, the living habits of these people are basically the same. There's nothing to divide, so it's better to just lump them together.

But Zhang Jiuli, without getting any information from Li Xiang, has already divided this area. That is, the part within the national border in the 21st century is completely different from the part outside the national border. , it may not be obvious now, but if it happens five or ten years later, this part will be easy to distinguish.

The important thing is that we have to do it, separate them in administrative areas, and let them think that they are two areas from the bottom of their hearts. Don't look at them now, and if the court divides the two areas, there may be Some will resist.

But as long as there is such a concept, it does not need to be very effective for the time being. Five or ten years later, when the next generation grows up, the effect will be different.

"You are right. I am going to separate these two areas and give them more resources to make them live richer. If there is a comparison between the two sides, what do you think the people outside will think? Woolen cloth?"

After Li Xiang finished speaking, Zhang Jiuli didn't know what to say. He had always known that Li Xiang was a thoughtful person. When it came to treating others, Li Xiang would either suppress them or tear them down. There are various ways to separate. As long as you are Li Xiang's enemy, your life will be difficult.

"Your Highness's approach is really good. Just like what we did in Goguryeo and Fusang, people close to us can live a good life. Those who fight against us will not only not have a good life, but may also be in danger of their lives. There may not be much change at the beginning, and those who hate us will hate us even more, but as time goes by, these people will know what to do."

Zhang Jiuli thought of the resisters in Fusang. At the beginning, these resisters were at odds with the imperial army, but are there still these resisters now? Of course, we killed the majority of the people, but those who were alive also changed their minds. They all realized that there is no benefit in confronting the Tang Dynasty.

It is better to die than to live. Even if the original Fusang country is restored, what good will it do to them? It's possible that you won't be able to see that day, so there is no point in resisting. It is better to surrender to Datang now so that your family can live a better life.

This was the idea of ​​those Fusang rebels at that time. In the land of the Western Regions, there were many people who resisted us for the time being. But after a long period of education, these people would also envy the life of being close to the people of the Tang Dynasty, so they would not Consciously change themselves, and by the time they realize that everything has changed, they have already begun to enjoy that kind of life, and they can no longer tell the difference.

"This is the general idea. How to implement it specifically needs to be improved by you people. The county system was done well before. Your family members should have been released. Do you still want to continue to stay with me?"

Li Xiang thought of another thing. Zhang Jiuli committed a lot of crimes in Sichuan. If it weren't for Li Xiang's help, this guy would have died several times, and his whole family, including his whole family, would probably have no good consequences. , Now that he has done so many things for Li Xiang, and everyone in his family has been redeemed, according to the previous agreement between the two parties, Zhang Jiuli can be considered successful and retired.

However, Li Xiang thought that it would be better to give him a family background. If he had a family background in this era, it would be easier for children to become officials.

"I accept His Highness's great love, but the sins I committed in the past were too serious. I'll just follow the same method as before and be a gradeless master for His Highness."

What Zhang Jiuli said was the truth. When he was involved in corruption in Sichuan in the early years, he did not feel how bad what he did was. But later when he saw the poor life of the people, he realized how disgusting he was. Now If you can do something for this country, why do you still ask for benefits from above? (End of chapter)
