Chapter 968: Seemingly Casual Chat, but the Big Picture Is Laid Out

"Your prisoner." Li Longji thought about the fact that there were not many prisoners on death row, and thought of Li Yi's more than 11,000 prisoners.

"The captives must be taught well, find a way to send them back, and then bring the whole place to submit to the Tang Dynasty." Li Yi refused to let the southwestern barbarian captives die.

What he is planning is the southwest barbarian area, where nearly 12,000 people will be captured. By autumn, many people's families will be sent.

A large number of people must be well cultivated to make them feel that Datang is good and that their area should be integrated into Datang.

In this way, people in the entire southwestern barbaric region can live a good life, and their life has not been in vain.

"There are few executions." Li Longji was worried and had a headache.

"Many people had no officials, so they were beaten to death in the local area. If it didn't work, there were still people who wandered three thousand miles away.

Places that are unfamiliar, remote, and sparsely populated were almost dead in the past.

They are also willing to work for one year, become an apprentice for two years, work for another year, and work in the community for one year. "

Li Yi is currently short of manpower and hopes to give others a chance to change.

Otherwise, you need to use dynamite to blow it up. What should you do if the dynamite misfires? There are also landslides and water leakage during excavation.

He doesn’t have a boring machine. If he has a boring machine, there won’t be any accidents?

"How many years will it take to capture some Tibetan and Turkic prisoners and dig a river?" Li Longji agreed to include the exiled people.

"It depends on how many people are used. The road built by Zhang Jiuling is opened directly in the middle of the mountain. As long as there are enough people and a load, it can be picked out.

Leave a little soil on both sides to block the water. I put explosives on it, and with a bang, it exploded and the water was connected.

The location is high. Under normal circumstances, there is no fear of the Yellow River water flowing back. At that section, the Yellow River flows downstream. "

Li Yi thought it was impossible, so he dug from above instead of drilling holes.

Tens of thousands of people were sent out, bang chi chi chi, very quickly.

It took ten years to dig the Suez Canal, but the people who dug it couldn't even take a few sips of fresh water, and some people died of thirst.

Some people can only eat a little food every day and work hard, and then die of exhaustion and starvation.

More than 190 kilometers, more than ten years.

The Tang Dynasty asked people to dig more than ten kilometers of roads and provided them with enough food and drink.

The people who dug the Suez Canal were always sick, all kinds of illnesses, and the canal was so wide.

Datang did not need a canal of more than 360 meters, nor did it need to be that deep.

If you pay enough wages and provide good support, you can dig it out in less than a year and use it next year.

Wherever it is necessary to bomb, let the condemned prisoners and exiled people be on the front line, and have dumb cannons for them to clean up.

Li Yi thought, let's learn from Zhang Jiuling, but we won't move mountains or follow Yu Gong.

"In this way, we can recruit local people. The local people are mediocre. They will be employed for twenty days a year. There is no need to transfer them and they will be replaced for another twenty days."

Li Longji was ready to use the laws of the imperial court. Jingzhao Mansion was spared the mediocrity, but elsewhere.

“More than 10,000 prisoners from my side were also sent over, and I gave them meat every meal.

Post a notice that anyone willing to open the canal will be paid thirty cents a day.

You only need to work for five hours a day, including meal time, and there are three meals a day, all of which are meat. "

Li Yi was willing to sacrifice money. If this canal was built, it would solve a major historical problem.

The imperial court's control over that area has more than increased tenfold, and people in remote areas can benefit from it.

At his time, sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal were still in use.

When the Xiaolangdi Reservoir on the Yellow River was built, navigation was not considered at all. Later, I regretted it and redesigned it.

Including the remaining problems of the bridge over the river, the difficulty is not small.

I don’t know how long it will take for the entire Yellow River to be open to navigation, because of the high-speed rail, highways and airplanes.

Li Longji lowered his head slightly and thought, then simply lay down and motioned to Li Yi to continue massaging his head.

Li Yi washed his hands and pressed them slowly when he came back. He is a patient, so he needs to take care of his emotions.

"Brother Yi, this is feasible. Judging from this, it is expected to be open to navigation next year." Li Longji was willing to spend money.

The people worked so dangerously, and they only had three meals, wages, and meat to eat.

Once the Tibetans and Turks are all taken care of, what else do you want? A large area of ​​land, the overland Silk Road has been restarted.

Push the army to the front and prepare for a big meal.

Let’s hold on to it first, don’t rush to fight, and seize the time within Datang to engage in economic construction.

Raise more livestock in Turkic and Tubo areas, create new good fields, and grow a variety of cotton.

Then wait for two or three thousand more, and push the food over in one go.

Li Longji thought about the future and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Li Yi continued the massage with gentle force. He could not stop now. As soon as he stopped, Li Longji woke up.

Outside the door, Queen Wang and Princess Yongmu looked through the window, both of them smiling.

Queen Wang whispered to Princess Yongmu: "Everyone says that Weng's son-in-law is difficult to get along with. This will never happen to you."

Princess Yongmu blushed, but her eyes were full of sweetness.

"Li Lang is a person who does great things, but he becomes like that as soon as he is with me." Princess Yongmu said in a low voice.

"Young man, can you stand being so old-fashioned? This is called skill, adjusting your mentality. Contacting you is just to play with you."

Queen Wang thought clearly that Li Yi had a very calm personality and would automatically ignore his age when communicating with him.

Only when he came into contact with Yuanshu did Li Yi change his appearance to match his current age.

Yuanshu was in contact with Li Yi and was very happy every day.

What I learned before was modesty. What’s the use of modesty? Is it fun to play shuttlecock?

She is still a queen, and she brings people to play with her in the harem. She is just pretending to be the mother of the world.

"What good ideas has your father come up with? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so relieved. Only in Lijiazhuang can he really relax."

Queen Wang felt sorry for Li Longji, who was worried all day long and had to consider the ministers and the noble families.

It was not good if he didn't take care of any of them. When he slept in the imperial city, he would always wake up suddenly at night and talk in his sleep.

Then he moved to Xingqing Palace, and occasionally he would wake up suddenly.

Only in Lijiazhuang, he slept soundly and ate deliciously.

The key is not to worry or be afraid. When he saw the intelligence about the war in the front that was suddenly sent, Li Yi was there, and Li Yi handled it.

When he asked the ministers, the ministers said one thing and another, and they all sounded reasonable, but he still had to make a choice in the end.

The ministers no longer had Fangmou Duduan. UUReading wwｗ.ｕukanshu.ｎｅt

When he arrived at Lijiazhuang, Li Yi solved all the troubles by himself. He had strategies and could make decisions.

Like now, he talked about national affairs. If he was sick, he didn't even need to find a doctor, he would arrange it directly.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui don't know how to treat illnesses or play.

"Mother, can father attend court tomorrow?" Princess Yongmu was worried about her father's condition.

"Yes, Li Yi will make sure it's done. Even if he doesn't attend court, it doesn't matter. If there's something going on in the court, just send a message."

Queen Wang doesn't worry about government affairs now, and Zhuangzi is not far from the court. Just like today, she sent a message and then replied to it, and it was solved.

Princess Yongmu nodded: "If the world can be peaceful, everyone won't have to work hard."

"The world can't be peaceful. There are many countries on the side of the Arabs. They want to fight with us, but don't be afraid, Li Yi is already planning."

Queen Wang still looked indifferent, it was just a war.
