The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

"All the people gained from the coercion will belong to you and others, and the court will not get involved in the slightest. I guarantee it."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the heads of many aristocratic families were shocked at first, and then their eyes burst into light!

What is the most important thing in this era? It is the population! The population of a region can directly determine whether the region is prosperous or not!

In In this ancient world where labor was the primary productive force, population was wealth. The rulers of every dynasty encouraged more children and would even provide certain subsidies to families with more children. The reason why these aristocratic families are so wealthy is that They have a large population of common people as their foundation. As the landlord aristocratic class, they squeeze the interests of the people.

In other words, the more people they have in their hands, the more prosperous they will be!

Although the patriarchs don't know that Li Shimin Why should they be given such huge benefits for free? But it is undeniable that they were moved.

Several clan heads readily agreed. Only a few clan heads such as Lu, Wang, and Li figured out what Li Shimin said. The look of shock quickly filled their cheeks.

Li Changqing's move was very vicious, and he wanted to cut off Li Changqing's vitality.

Looking at the complicated expressions of these clan leaders, Li Shimin smiled and said:"Since you have already guessed I will not say more about my intention. I will take all the people under your jurisdiction and go south. This is what you have to do.

In addition, I also need you to destroy all the docks and docks in the Yellow River and other places, and raise funds to build the Great Wall of China!

Of course, the construction of the Great Wall will require your investment and effort, but I believe that this cost is nothing compared to the huge benefits you will reap north of the Yellow River."

Build the Great Wall of China and destroy all the wharves and docks on the Yellow River. This way, Li Changqing would not be able to forcefully cross the Yellow River and give him more time to prepare! This is Li Shimin's real purpose!

He put away the fiery look in his eyes, He said:"Okay, now tell me, what is your decision?"

The patriarchs all hesitated and struggled. Although the herdsmen and people controlled by their respective families belong to them, they are not food towns. The food towns do not need to pay any taxes to the court.

They only need to take these people and herdsmen away south. , then it will truly become their food! In the long run, the benefits are simply terrible!

After hesitating for a long time, the Zheng family took a long breath and said to Li Shimin:"The Zheng family is willing to move the family south!"

"The Wang family is willing to move the whole family south!"

"So can I, the Lu family!"

……

The clan leaders expressed their attitude one after another. Despite the huge temptation of all the people under their jurisdiction becoming food towns and the huge threat to them after Li Changqing became emperor, they finally chose to cooperate with Li Shimin.

"good! I’d like to toast you all! When the traitor Li Changqing is wiped out, you all should remember your great achievements!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly and raised his glass in a circle, his eyes full of pride.

My dear sixth brother, I want to see how you can break this situation!

……

After reaching an agreement with Li Shimin, many aristocratic families, except for the Cui family of Qinghe and the Xiao family of Lanling, who had already taken refuge with Li Changqing, all other families began to take action.

While they secretly moved their property southward, they also moved the herdsmen and people under their respective control to the south of the Yellow River as much as possible without being noticed by Beijing.

It has to be said that the energy and means of these aristocratic families are indeed amazing, and they completed all the transfers in less than half a month.

After doing this, they no longer made any cover-ups, and directly ordered all ferries and docks on both sides of the Yellow River to be destroyed, and began to build the Great Wall of China.

Li Shimin even dispatched 200,000 troops to water the Yellow River to prevent Li Changqing from leading his troops to force a crossing during the construction of the Great Wall.

Various strategies followed one after another, and Li Shimin's ambition and imperial talent were finally revealed.

As the hero who led the Tang Dynasty to prosperity in history, how could Li Shimin's strategy be bad? It's just that he has been obscured by Li Changqing's light and cannot be revealed.

Otherwise, if it had been Li Jiancheng, the deposed prince, or Li Yuanji and Li Changqing, he might have been defeated and died.

Li Shimin is truly qualified to compete with Li Changqing for this world.

The news that many aristocratic families went south and built the Great Wall on the banks of the Yellow River soon spread to the court in Beijing, making many ministers change their expressions.

"Hard to guard against! It’s really hard to guard against! Those aristocratic families actually took refuge in the false emperor!"

In Tiance Hall, Du Ruhui shouted angrily regardless of etiquette, with an angry expression.

Li Xiuning looked cold and asked for orders:"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to cross the Yellow River and wipe out the enemies on the other side!"

The Great Wall will definitely not be built successfully! It must be destroyed at all costs, otherwise once the construction is successful, the Yellow River will become an insurmountable chasm! As soon as

Li Xiuning opened his mouth, many generals asked for help.

And Li Changqing sat on the dragon throne. On the road, the officials' pleas for orders fell on his ears, but he was unmoved, and his expression did not even change much.

Li Changqing shook his head and refused:"If he wants to build the Great Wall of the Sea, then let him build it. Take The soldiers' lives were forced to cross the Yellow River, which was completely meaningless casualties. Li

Jing immediately became anxious when he heard this. He took a step forward and cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, I know that you love your soldiers as much as your own son, but we must not allow the Great Wall to be built successfully. Otherwise, if we send our troops south in the future, this pass alone will not be able to do so." Go beyond!"

After hearing this, the generals believed it.

However, Li Changqing smiled and said:"Who said we must cross the Yellow River?"

Li Jing was stunned. If he wants his army to go south, it is necessary to cross the Yellow River. How can he fly there if he doesn't cross the river?

Without waiting for him to ask, Li Changqing continued:"Li Shimin's move was just to block the few people north of the Yellow River. That few people Just let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't cross the river.

He has a good plan, and I also have a lintel. If we use Japan and Yizhou as a springboard, and then use coastal cities such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a breakthrough point to take Chang'an directly, what do you think?"
