Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Page 262

If the wheels of the carriage are modified again, and a layer of Eucommia rubber tires are added to the outer ring of the wheels, it will be more stable and the bumpiness will be greatly improved.

At that time, the speed of the carriage can be increased again.

"The main reason is that the output of cement is large enough. In addition, all the roads are built by slaves, so the progress is naturally very fast."

Everyone also laughed and said that they have indeed mainly been doing this for the past six months.

The results are naturally gratifying. Not only did the toll booths and post stations make a lot of money, but they also greatly improved the road conditions of the official road.

No matter where you go now, it is much faster than before. Businessmen and people everywhere are praising them for doing good things for the people.

"¨. However, the speed has slowed down recently. Many slaves died of exhaustion and disease, and the number has decreased a lot."

Then everyone frowned slightly and thought of a question.

In this era, the lives of slaves are no different from that of livestock, so they use them to their death.

Therefore, this has led to the rapid progress of the construction of the cement road.

But this also leads to a problem, that is, people's energy and physical strength are limited, once overloaded, the body will go wrong.

After a long time, you will be exhausted or sick.

And they naturally wouldn't ask a doctor to treat the slaves, and even if they did, it would be useless.

Because the treatment plan given by the doctor is to let the slaves rest more and supplement their nutrition, it will naturally get better.

But these two conditions are obviously impossible to meet, so they don't bother to care about it.

Up to now, the number of slaves still working is less than one-third of the original number, and everyone's work efficiency is also very low.

The progress of road construction has also been greatly reduced.

They are worrying about this matter recently and don't know what to do next.

"The number of slaves has decreased, so let the number of slaves increase again and it will be over."

Li Ke smiled and said something meaningful to everyone.

"Maybe increase the number of slaves again?"

Hearing Li Ke's words, everyone was slightly taken aback.

"The Turks haven't been wiped out yet. Instead of leaving them there, let them cultivate their health and rejuvenate. They will threaten my Tang Dynasty in the future."

"It's better to send the army now, and often enter the Turkic territory to capture their vital forces and bring them back as slaves."

"In this way, not only the potential and heritage of the Turkic people were hit, but the Turkic people helped us build roads and build our Tang Dynasty."

"Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, I think you can report to the emperor and try it."

Li Ke smiled slightly, and told everyone what was in his heart.

It is still his previous philosophy, the world is not benevolent and treats all things as straw dogs, and the Tang Dynasty is not benevolent and treats all nations as straw dogs.

Turning other countries' vital forces into Datang's slaves can minimize or even completely eliminate other countries' threats to Datang in the future.

It can also use these manpower to quickly build Datang's infrastructure and help Datang increase its overall national strength.

Why did Daqin II die?

Why did the Great Sui Dynasty II die?

Isn't building the Great Wall a good thing for China?

Isn't digging the Grand Canal a good thing for China?

All good things, but in the wrong way.

Both Qin Shihuang and Sui Yangdi used the common people of their own countries to do this.

If Datang uses its own people to build cement roads in a short period of time.

The same merit is in the future, but the crime is in the present, maybe even the Tang Dynasty may perish in the second generation!

However, if people from the enemy country are used to help Datang build cement roads, there will be no problem at all.

If Qin Shihuang and Sui Yangdi also wanted to understand this truth, they might not have died in the second generation.

In short, resources are limited, and manpower is also a resource.

It is obviously the most cost-effective business to use human resources from other countries to help your own country!

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Li Ke's words!

PS: The third update! .

Chapter 246 Li Shimin endorses in person!The real world is coming to court!

You've never thought about it before.

Listening to what Li Ke said now, everyone immediately began to think seriously.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone found that the idea Li Ke said was very good!

The Turkic threat to the Tang Dynasty has always existed. Although the Turkic was completely disabled in the past few years, as long as the Turkic is given a certain amount of time, it is very possible for the Turkic to rise again.

At that time, it will pose a big threat to Datang again. If the Turks can be completely eliminated as soon as possible, it will be excellent for Datang.

Moreover, according to Li Ke's idea, Datang did not need to fight the Turks head-on at all.

Anyway, the Turks are now disabled, and it is time to be weak.

The Tang army did not need to fight, and directly entered the territory of the Turks, and then directly plundered their population into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Afterwards, set his status as a slave, and just drag him to build roads and do infrastructure.

Anyway, I don't do other things, just simply plunder people, and leave after plundering.

After bringing it back to Datang for repairs, it will be fine to enter the country again.

In short, it is only necessary to maintain this plundering policy for a long time. I believe that the Turkic population will drop sharply in a short time.

Especially after losing a large number of young and middle-aged people, it will also have a huge impact on the fertility and reproduction of the Turkic population.

The young and strong are the main force in the birth and reproduction of the Turkic population when they get married and have children.

But all of these main forces were plundered to build roads in the Tang Dynasty, and the birth rate of the Turks would naturally plummet.

The birth rate decreased, and the newborn population naturally decreased, and a large number of young and strong were plundered to the Tang Dynasty.

Young and strong are not only the main force of reproduction, but also the main force of labor and production.

Once a large number of youths are lost, all kinds of production and labor will be greatly affected, and food production, weapon production, etc. will be greatly hit.

In this way, the Turks will only become weaker and weaker, unable to cultivate their health and rest at all, and use time to strengthen themselves, and then pose a threat to Datang.

It can be said that Li Ke's idea not only allowed Datang to build 113 infrastructure greatly and extremely quickly, but also made Turkic completely fall into the abyss, and it was impossible to get back up again!

As long as this policy continues, the Turks may only be left with old and weak women and children in the future. In this way, the Turks may collapse without the help of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Datang will be able to take over a large number of Turkic territories and lands without any effort.

"Your Highness's plan is too cruel!"

Everyone looked at Li Ke with admiration in their eyes.

Li Ke's idea is completely out of the question!

I am afraid that it will only take a few years for the Turks to completely disintegrate, and their national strength will become weaker than ever.

The most important thing is that the Turkic population also helped them repair all the cement roads, which will be a huge enhancement for Datang!

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"I think Your Highness's idea is very good, and it will be of great benefit to Datang!"

Hou Junji didn't think this idea was cruel, but thought it was just right.

When His Majesty first ascended the throne, the Turks attacked the Weishui River. This was not only a shame to Li Shimin, but also a shame to their generals.

So in the subsequent battle against the Turks, each of these generals was full of fighting spirit and wanted to avenge their shame.

And is there any more shameful way than Li Ke's idea?

"Tomorrow, I will enter the palace and propose to His Majesty to implement His Highness King Wu's idea."

Hou Junji was impatient, so he immediately said that he would enter the palace tomorrow.

"Yes, the sooner this policy is implemented, the better."

Li Jing also nodded, and Turkic strength recovered a little every day.

It's not too late for this kind of thing.

Hou Junji, the minister of the Ministry of War, spoke, and Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, also spoke.

The rest of the princes naturally nodded in agreement.

"Not only the Turks, but also the Goguryeo expedition in the future. Silla and Baekje can't escape, and there is also the Wa country."

"These are potential large slave households. Those who are disobedient will be arrested by Datang to build roads, and those who are obedient will stay in the local area and accept the cultural assimilation of Datang."

Taking advantage of today's high spirits, Li Ke also told everyone about some plans for the future.

It is estimated that next year, these plans will definitely be implemented.

The official road to the north of Chang'an has almost been built, and it will be completed next year at the latest.

Once it is completed, it will be very convenient to go north to enter Koguryo.

With Li Shimin's obsession with Goguryeo, there is a high probability that the expedition to Goguryeo will be next year.

As for the country of Wa, Li Ke also planned to gather a total of four Galen ships equipped with cannons to go to the country of Wa after the two Galen ships from Yangzhou and one Galen ship from Dengzhou and Quanzhou were launched.

That would bring back large numbers of prisoners of war and slaves.

"It seems that His Highness has a plan."

After hearing Li Ke's words, everyone immediately understood that Li Ke might have planned it long ago.

Once Li Ke's plan is carried out, then there will be no worries about slaves in the future.

A large number of slaves were brought back from various countries, and these slaves were used to help Datang build various infrastructures.

Even if these slaves are allowed to dig another Grand Canal and build another Great Wall, it may not be a problem.

Anyway, it is not Datang's manpower that is consumed.

Immediately, everyone also thought that there would definitely be several wars next year.

Now it's almost time to start preparing for battle.

Chatting and drinking, time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Let's stop here today, His Royal Highness King Wu still needs a bridal chamber."

Tang Jian smiled, showing an expression that any man could understand.

"That's right, then we won't waste His Royal Highness King Wu's precious time."

The other ministers also stood up with a smile, and left the Wu Palace one by one.

Li Ke sent these ministers off, and he went to wash up briefly.

He first came to Xie Waner's room and lifted Xie Waner's pink hijab.

Then, under Xie Wan'er's expectant and happy eyes, she took him into her arms.

After the bridal chamber, Li Ke stroked Xie Wan'er's beautiful hair.

"Rest well, I'm going to Mei Niang's place."

Li Ke explained something to Xie Wan'er.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Although Xie Wan'er was a little bit reluctant, she still nodded obediently.

After all, Li Ke married both of them at the same time, so he must not spend all his time on her side, otherwise she would be too selfish.

After kissing Xie Wan'er on the forehead, Li Ke left the room.

Seeing Li Ke went out, Xie Wan'er couldn't help showing a strong look of happiness when she thought of the scene just now.

Li Ke then came to Wu Meiniang's room.
