Chapter 955 Killing two birds with one stone

Gu Sizhi didn't want to read the charter. But Li Mu asked him to read it, but he had to stop reading it, so he had to bite the bullet and read it.

But this time, it was amazing. Gu Sizhi's eyes suddenly became blinded. When the others saw this, they became more and more curious, but without Li Mu's permission, they did not dare to come over to see it. When Gu Sizhi finished reading it, they passed it to them. Everyone's expressions were almost the same. First, they frowned, then stretched, and then they were ecstatic.

Now it was Li Shimin's turn to be curious, and he also wanted to know what was in Li Mu's charter.

"Mr. Marquis, I respect you." After reading the charter, everyone bowed to Li Mu. If they follow the charter, they would really have no worries.

Li Mu laughed, waved his hand, and said, "What are you respecting or not? It's mainly about doing things. Since there is no objection, just start doing it. The ugly words are ahead. If something goes wrong this time, I will not tolerate it."

"I will never let the Marquis down!" Everyone promised, especially Wang Rui, who slapped his chest the loudest.

When everyone left, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask Li Mu what the constitution was.

Li Mu knew that he had been selling it for a long time, and if he didn't say it, Li Shimin might get angry, so he told it all in detail.

"Your Majesty, I know that what you and these gentry are most worried about is the force of the Turks. As the saying goes, Turks are soldiers when they get on horseback, and people when they get off horseback. They are cruel by nature. In the past, I also thought so, but my thoughts have changed during a trip to the Western Regions last year."

Li Shimin did not speak, but looked at Li Mu and waited for him to finish his words.

Li Mu continued: "Your Majesty, I want Your Majesty to think of a question - Have Your Majesty ever seen beggars?"

Li Shimin wondered what was the relationship between beggar Huazi and what was going to be discussed, but since Li Mu asked, he thought about it and replied: "I have turned to the north and south. Of course I have seen beggar Huazi, what's wrong?"

"Who is the responsibility of the number of beggars?"

Li Shimin was silent, and after a while, he said, "This is my responsibility - if I govern the country well, who would beg for food?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "It is precisely this principle, so the same principle can be put on the Turks. Have your Majesty ever thought about why the Turks wanted to plunder the Central Plains?"

Before Li Shimin answered, Li Mu directly answered: "Isn't it because he can't eat enough and wear warm clothes, so he can only plunder and fill it? If they live and work in peace, how could they have the idea of ​​plundering?"

"If the Turks could live like the people of Chang'an City, they could have food and clothing by working, who would be willing to graz on horseback, and who would go to war?"

"I went around in the Western Regions last year. What I saw in my eyes was that I knew more about the nomadic peoples in the Western Regions. Your Majesty knew that there were often no reason for nomadic tribes to draw their swords to fight. Even if there was a reason, it might be just a woman or a horse cub. Just a little thing was enough to make them kill people."

"Is this cruel? Yes!" Li Mu sighed: "I don't cleanse them, but why do they do this? Isn't it difficult to live? The resources for survival are limited. In order to survive, he needs to kill others and take away other people's cows, horses and women. The more they take, the longer they can survive the long winter... This is why there are often killing each other on the grassland."

"When the Central Plains dynasty declines, they can come to the Central Plains to plunder. When the Central Plains dynasty is powerful, they cannot plunder. If they catch up with the heavens, wouldn't it be a death?"

Li Shimin was deeply moved by this. Although the victory over Jie Li was planned for several years by the monarch and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the victory was essentially brought by time. If it weren't for the heavy snow that frozen many Turkic people and livestock to death, it is unknown who won and who lost.

"Your Majesty has been dealing with the Turks for many years and should have observed a rule. The strength and decline of the Turks are often a cycle. When they are strong to the extreme, they will be in turmoil. Why? Because they do not have to produce and only grazle. The grassland is so big, with too many people and too many livestock, there will be no enough share. They will strife in internal conflicts, but this is not a bad thing for the Turks. Because a person dies, his property, cattle, horse, women, and children can be inherited by living people. This will create a relatively stable time, and they don't have to live by looting."

"Who doesn't want to live a stable life? The Turkic people are also humans, and they must also want to live a stable life. It is said that the Turkic people are soldiers and dismounted by the people. Why does this happen? Not being forced? In the Central Plains, we can see that people are old and supported by their children. We think that this kind of thing is ordinary and filial piety is what everyone should do. But why do the Turkic people rarely have this situation? It's not that they can't buy it? They are not that they are soldier and dismounted by the people when they are born, but that they can't do this and have been eliminated long ago."

"They have to fight with us. If they don't fight with us, they will kill each other and have no other way."

Li Mu moved him with emotion, and Li Shimin remained silent. These principles were simple, but Li Shimin didn't understand them. But before he was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had to be responsible for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and he could only take care of the Turks if he had spare energy. What's more, these things were not his director, and he couldn't think of any way.

"The Turks are facing a crisis right now..." Li Mu looked at Li Shimin seriously and said, "And the crisis is right in front of him and will break out soon."

Li Shimin frowned: "Don't exaggerate, why don't I know about the crisis?"

"Your Majesty, I am not exaggerating." Li Mu's tone was a little anxious, and he said: "About this, Your Majesty defeated the Turks the year before yesterday and moved the remaining Turkic troops to Hetao. There is nothing wrong with this move, but Your Majesty ignores one thing."

"What?"

"The Turks are nomads for living. What is the root of nomads? They are not humans, but livestock! And the Turks' livestock, which was frozen to death by half in the heavy snow in the thousand years. When they fought with us, they ate a small half as food. The remaining few livestock were also obtained by us as spoils. In fact, they had very few livestock in their hands!"

"This..." Li Shimin didn't know the trick here, and he said in confusion: "But they have been trading with us, horses, leather, etc., and the trade has never stopped. If they had no livestock, how did these trades go?"

"Your Majesty, what does the animal I talk about have to do with horses? Their food rations are not war horses, but cattle and sheep! As for those leathers, I have checked the purchase slips of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of the goods quotations show that these cowhides are all " "Is this cruel? Yes!" Li Mu sighed: "I don't whitewash them, but why do they do this? Isn't it difficult to live? The resources for survival are limited. In order to survive, he needs to kill others, and take away other people's cattle, horses and women. The more they take, the longer they can survive the long cold winter... This is why there are often killing oneself on the grassland."

"When the Central Plains dynasty declines, they can come to the Central Plains to plunder. When the Central Plains dynasty is powerful, they cannot plunder. If they catch up with the heavens, wouldn't it be a death?"
