Chapter 399 Epilogue
The current Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, dominates the East, and he is considered to be in full swing.

However, due to population and traffic constraints, there is no energy to continue to expand in a short period of time. Even Situ Changfeng's battle in Tianzhu was dominated by minority fighters.

[-] Khitan cavalry, Qi Kebili led [-] Turkic people, killed them from the plateau of Tubo County, [-] Miao people, [-] Dong people also came to Tianzhu, these are all ethnic minorities in the Tang Dynasty.

As more and more people entered Tianzhu, the process of conquest was accelerated. In the 17th year of Zhenguan, King Chujieri led 60 people to flee to Guishuang, and the entire Tianzhu fell into the territory of Datang, and the territory of Datang expanded by [-]%.

After occupying the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin designated Tianzhu as Tianzhu Prefecture and divided it into ten counties. He appointed Li Tai as the governor of Tianzhu Prefecture, and at the same time named Situ Changfeng as the founder of Yizhou County, Shangzhu Kingdom, Yipin Zhengxi General, and Tianzhu Governor. , fully responsible for the development of Tianzhu.

Of course, Li Shimin could not let Situ Changfeng's family dominate. Zhao Wang Li Yuanba heard that there was a war to fight and there was no domestic threat. He also came to Tianzhu and was responsible for leading an army of 20 to guard the border.

At the same time, Li Jing was appointed as the governor of the Western Regions, forming a two-sided attack on Guishuang, but he will not take the initiative to send troops in the past two years.

Because the Xiongnu fled far away, the Qin Palace was also liberated, and the northeast area and the four counties in Liaodong were all guarded by them.

In Shandong, the family from Guanzhong moved to Wodao, and the family from Jiangnan went south to divide Southeast Asia with the Sun family.

Of course, Li Shimin will not make the same mistakes as before. The aristocratic family divides the territory, but there is no military power.

Only the Sun family, Prince Qin's mansion remained strong, but to show their loyalty, both families chose to send their sons to Beijing, and not just one, even several of their generals.

Because Li Shimin gave concubines and wives to the people and soldiers, plus preferential treatment, it can be said that he is extremely loyal to Li Shimin, which is also Li Shimin's confidence.

At the same time, according to Situ Changfeng's suggestion, Datang investigated and banned most of the Taoist temples and temples, and only some famous mountains remained.

Some Taoist priests and monks were forced to be secular, and others went to various places to promote patriotic education.

People make the best use of them. Li Shimin never thought that people could use them like this. The medical school was established by people with superb imperial and folk medicine skills, as well as Taoist monks who were proficient in the art of Qi and Huang. The hospital is also controlled by the imperial court, which prevents some people with bad character from all over the country from charging indiscriminately.Not only that, medicinal material bases in various places are also being established.

All industries, standardization, and customized standards, industry requirements, this is a new trend of the imperial court, and for this reason, top people from various industries have been invited to participate.

Situ Changfeng closed the door and carefully recalled some good policies for later generations, and wanted to try his best to help Datang go further, because with the current national strength, it has reached its limit.

Continuing to conquer other places has little meaning. First, it is too far away. Second, the remaining people are too different from the Han people in appearance. It is too difficult for them to fully integrate, unless Datang has the ability to crush strength, let them take the initiative to integrate.Just like the motherland of future generations, countless small countries wish they could be born under the red flag.

That's why Situ Changfeng urgently suggested to Li Shimin that gathering elites from various industries together would not only make the industry bigger and stronger, but also speed up the development of the industry and bring forth the new.

For this reason, no matter if they are from Tianzhu, people from various countries in the Western Regions, or even Nanyang Tu people, as long as they have a skill, they are all valued.

The latest Ministry of Industry, established outside Chang'an City, covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, just like a small town. There are more than 2 craftsmen, master craftsmen and their families in the Ministry of Industry.Only those with superb skills or special skills can't enter the Ministry of Industry.

Three provinces and six ministries have long since changed beyond recognition. Dozens of departments of commerce, law, staff, medical care, transportation, marine, agriculture, administration, supervision, industry, and mining are all designed in Longshouyuan outside Chang'an City.

Longshouyuan's new imperial palace is also under construction. It is true that the expansion of the Tang Dynasty is too fast, and Chang'an City, which originally seemed huge, is no longer enough.

In the 18th year of Zhenguan, the fleet of Yuanyang Daqin returned to Datang, bringing news from afar, as well as charts.

In the same year, larger warships were launched into the sea. The new warships were 500 meters long and made of alloys, making them lighter and stronger. The ships were divided into four layers, with a height of 15 meters.

Layered ships can ensure that they can continue to sail after the bottom two layers are flooded.

In the second year, Situ Changfeng, who couldn't bear the loneliness, took his eldest wife Zheng Liwan, Princess Yuzhang and Gongsun Feiyan to go to sea, leaving only Fan Lihua at home to take care of the children.

In recent years, the second generation of the Tang Dynasty has fully grown up. Su Dingfang is in charge of the Western Regions; Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaiyu, and Li Xiaoyi are in charge of Wadao; Tianzhu also has Li Tai, Li Chonghui, Luo Tong, and Luo Huan; the high principle of Tubo is guarded by Xue Rengui.

At the center of the Tang Dynasty, Xi Jun bought the new Chang'an order, and Di Renjie served as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

In February of the 20th year of Zhenguan, Qu Tutong died of illness in Luoyang; in September of the same year, Zuo Pu Shexiaoyu died of illness.

In June of the 21st year of Zhenguan, the right servant shot Du Ruhui and died of illness, and in September Qin Qiong died without illness.

Losing veterans one after another, Li Shimin was deeply saddened. Fortunately, Situ Changfeng came back from the ocean and brought great news.

This time, Situ Changfeng spent two and a half years traveling across the Americas and brought back sweet potato and corn seeds.

When the freshly ripe corn was moved from the ship, the court was stunned by the grain long with chopsticks, not to mention the sweet potato the size of a fist.

Although these grains have not been cultivated, their yields are much higher than that of wheat.

Now everyone is very confident in Situ Changfeng, so Li Shimin ordered the promotion without hesitation.He seems to have anticipated that Datang will be without famine.

In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, retired. Li Shimin did not choose Hou Junji and others who were more qualified, but appointed Situ Changfeng as the new Minister of War.

As the older generation grows older, many die and return to their hometowns.At present, the left servant shoots Fang Xuanling, the servant shoots Changsun Wuji, the minister of the Ministry of War Situ Changfeng, the minister of the Ministry of Households Li Ji, the minister of the Ministry of Industry Hou Junji and others are the group of people with the highest central status.

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, the sweet potato and corn harvests were bumper, and it was supposed to be a day of universal celebration. The empress Changsun died of illness, and was buried in Zhaoling with the posthumous title of Empress Wende.

After careful calculation, in fact, many people in Situ Changfeng's world have some excuses when they die, which should be related to the higher force of this world.

In the 24th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin couldn't stand it because of the abundant grain harvests year after year, so he left the prince Li Chengqian to supervise the country, and led the veteran general of the court to conquer Guishuang himself.
