I have a backstage in Datang

"They are Youzhou, Jizhou, Ruzhou, Shunzhou, and Zhuozhou."

"In addition to these five prefectures, there are also Tanzhou on the Hebei Road and Yunzhou on the northwest frontier. Together, there are seven prefectures, which are now known as the new Youyun states."

"If you go here from the westernmost Yunzhou, the distance is about [-] miles, and from here to the easternmost Jizhou, the distance is about [-] miles. Eight hundred plus three hundred is one thousand. One, from this we can clearly know that the territory of the Seven Nether Cloud States is one thousand and one hundred miles."

Gu Tianya chuckled, and praised: "Chengqian is very good, and he studies hard. Uncle, when I was thirteen or fourteen, I didn't know as much as you do."

Li Chengqian quickly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "This is what my father and uncle taught me."

Gu Tianya laughed again, looked at the children present, and asked again: "As for the size of the territory, Li Chengqian has already answered, so uncle will ask you a second question, what is the population of the seven Youyun states now? ?”

Step by step, the problem began to become more difficult.

This question is obviously not something that children can answer.

Cheng Chumo stood up suddenly, summoned up his courage and said, "Master, I know."

Gu Tianya smiled happily, and praised without hesitation: "In the past, you boys were most afraid of answering questions. Whenever you asked questions for your teacher, you always shy away. Now you can take the initiative to answer, which shows that you have made great progress."

Cheng Chumo took a deep breath, and said softly, "It's the master who has put in countless painstaking efforts to make the disciple grow up. Three years ago, the master took back the Youyun Zhuzhou from the Turkic people, and since that day , you have been training me."

"In the past three years, you let me and my juniors go to serve in various yamen. When we did something wrong, you didn't punish us. When we made some achievements, you praised us. Let us slowly master a lot."

Cheng Chumo stopped talking, and then said: "For example, Tu'er and others can answer the population of Youyun states in one go. Tuer will answer the population of Youzhou first, because Youzhou is the entire Youyun state. center of."

He paused while speaking, and said again: "Three years ago, the population of Youzhou was more than 14 households, while the other six prefectures combined, barely had about [-] households. A total of [-] Ten thousand households, this is the total population of the Seven Nether Clouds at the time."

Gu Tianya nodded, and asked with a smile: "Then what now?"

Cheng Chumo took another deep breath, his voice gradually became proud, and he said loudly: "Three years have passed, the Youyun Zhuzhou has become prosperous under the governance of Master, and now the population has exploded, and it is no longer what it was before... ..."

"First of all, there were two large-scale migrations of people. One was that the people in the pass fled voluntarily from the famine, and the other was that the aristocratic families and clans wanted to grow cotton. The two migrations took place less than a year apart, but they brought more people to the Youyun states. 20 households."

"There are 20 households with about five to seven people in each household. These people have become Youyun people, and the total number is about 120 million."

"Eh, that's not right, not only 120 million, but 150 million. Because the master has encouraged people to have children, many children have been born in the past two years... Although these children are not yet mature, they should be counted in the population. "

"In addition to these two large-scale migrations of people, there is another population explosion in our Youyun Zhuzhou. What is it? It is the Han women who have returned from the grassland."

"At the beginning we defeated the Turkic people and forced them to release 30 Han women. The problem of where these Han women belonged was a headache for many people, but it has been gradually resolved after three years."

"There are 30 Han women, almost all of whom are married. Each Han woman helped us recruit a husband for Youyun, which caused our population to increase by another 60."

At this moment, I heard a little guy giggling lightly, and reminded: "Brother, you are negligent again. After Han and women form a family, the babies born will also be included in the population."

Cheng Chumo was startled for a moment, then nodded quickly, and said, "Yes, yes, that's true. 30 Han and female families form a family, and at least [-] babies have been born in the past two years."

The kid calculated silently in his heart for a long time, and finally gave a solemn answer, saying: "Now the population of the entire Youyun Zhuzhou should be around 300 million..."

"How did you get this number?" Gu Tianya asked with a leisurely smile.

Cheng Chumo said without hesitation: "The original 14 households were 60 people, the two migrations added 150 million people, and after the Han and female families formed a family, the increased number was 70 people."

With a population of 300 million, this is the total number of the entire Youyun States.

……

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, and said: "The territory is 300 miles away, and the population is about [-] million. It sounds pretty good at first, but things in the world need to be compared..."

He paused slightly while talking, then suddenly asked again: "Who can tell uncle, what is the territory and population of the Tang Dynasty?"

This question is not difficult, and everyone present knows it.

Li Chengqian stood up again and replied: "Today there are ten Dao in the Tang Dynasty, and the territory is about 1500 miles from south to north, and if you calculate the distance from east to west, it is more than 300 miles. Last year At the beginning of the year, the Chaotang household department counted the population once, and there were [-] million people in the whole country, which is about [-] million households."

"No!" Gu Tianya shook his head lightly, and said, "The statistics of the population in the past dynasties will always have great deviations. In fact, according to my uncle's estimation, the total population of the Tang Dynasty has reached at least 2000 million."

At this time, Li Shimin interjected and said, "That's right, it should be 2000 million people."

Gu Tianya looked at the children present, and said with deep meaning: "Now can you understand? Why do I want to build a princely state? The Tang Dynasty has a territory of six thousand miles and a population of 2000 million, and the Youyun Zhuzhou ? Both the territory and the population are far behind..."

Seeing a little girl standing up suddenly, she said crisply: "But Uncle, you just captured Goguryeo. This part of the territory and population already belong to you. If you include them, your power has already surpassed the feudal states."

Gu Tianya chuckled, and said: "As you little girl said, the word 'just laid down' is very noteworthy. Since it has just been laid down, it means that it has not been fully questioned. How can a place that is not yet fully stabilized Is it the foundation of the founding of the country?"

He sighed softly as he spoke, and said with emotion: "My strength is still too weak. To be a man, we must recognize the reality."

"But, but..." The little girl argued hard, "But when the Tang Dynasty was founded, many places were not stable. But so what, it still became the foundation of the founding of the country."

Chapter 413 [This is Gu Tianya's conspiracy]

I Have Backstage in Datang Chapter 413 of the main text volume [This is Gu Tianya's conspiracy] "Yes, Gu Tianya's move is aimed at Goguryeo."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet slowly got up, walked slowly to the window, and said: "The Goguryeo nation is different from our Tuyuhun people. We Tuyuhun people have been doing business for generations, and we pay attention to profit first and wealth. As long as we have money, we can do anything... …it doesn’t even matter who rules if the stakes are high enough.”

"But Goguryeo is different. This nation is very stubborn, just like the donkey that admits death, and is unwilling to turn back when it hits the south wall."

"According to my observations over the years, the Goguryeo people have two extremes in character. For example, when dealing with internal affairs, they can accept it. No matter how oppressive the ruler is, they can always grit their teeth and endure it."

"But when it came to the outside world, the Goguryeo people became extremely stubborn again. Even with a butcher's knife on their necks, they would rather die than bow their heads..."

When the Tuo Tuo Prophet said this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and slowly said: "These Goguryeo people are really incomprehensible. If they have backbone, they have been oppressed by the rulers. Don't dare to resist, always bear it obediently.

"But if you say they have no backbone, they are extremely tenacious when facing foreigners, and dare to fight to the death, fighting to the last moment."

"For example, during the Great Sui Eastern Expedition 20 years ago, the Sui Dynasty was considered to be the most powerful force in the world at that time. Stubbornly resist."

"Farmers picked up hoes, women and children lifted stones. In short, all Goguryeo people, as long as they are still panting, they will resist. They are not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops of Emperor Sui Yang."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet sighed again when he said this, looked at Murong Yanran, and asked with a smile: "Girl, tell me, are the Goguryeo people strange? They dare not resist the oppression of their own monarch, but dare to go to the Sui Dynasty." Hundreds of thousands of soldiers desperately..."

Murong Yanran looked thoughtful, and said softly: "After what you said, I suddenly remembered the situation of the Liaodong War before. Gu Tianya and Li Shimin dispatched hundreds of thousands of soldiers, plus the troops dispatched by our countries, The total number of soldiers is more than one million, which is almost twice that of Goguryeo's regular army... However, when the real fight broke out, the Goguryeo people were really not afraid, and not a single soldier surrendered during the entire Liaodong War."

The girl paused while speaking, her tone was obviously full of shock, and she murmured: "Those Goguryeo soldiers, they all died in battle."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet nodded, and sighed, "It's really a group of donkeys, they don't look back when they hit the south wall."

The Great Elder Tuyuhun had deep eyes, and suddenly he spoke with a deep meaning: "If soldiers don't surrender, they can be killed on the battlefield. But if the people don't surrender, the butcher knife can't kill them."

Murong Yanran deserved to be the princess of Tuyuhun, she nodded immediately when she heard the words: "That's right, the people can't be massacred casually. Since ancient times, people have to be appeased and naturalized after they have established territories. If massacres are carried out wantonly, they will definitely lose the hearts of the people..."

The girl was only halfway through her words, and suddenly she was stunned, and subconsciously said: "The Goguryeo people are stubborn, and they are very xenophobic in their bones, which means that it is difficult for this nation to appease and naturalize."

Prophet Tuo Tuo nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "That's why there are so many restoration forces in Goguryeo today."

Murong Yanran frowned slightly, and said: "Goguryeo has already been destroyed, and the army was completely wiped out in the war. No matter how many forces there are for the restoration of the country, I am afraid it will not be able to shake Gu Tianya's rule."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Girl, you are wrong. If Gu Tianya thinks like you, then he will never be able to subdue Goguryeo. Even if he has conquered Goguryeo's territory, he will be naturalized Without the people of Goguryeo. And without the naturalization of these people, it will gradually become a heavy drag."

Murong Yanran frowned again, and said, "But what you just said is very clear, the Goguryeo nation is extremely xenophobic."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet chuckled, looked out of the window with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "Gu Tianya is already using tricks..."

……

In Youzhou City, an inn opened by a certain Turkic people.

The little saintess Cao'er appeared at the door of the high priest with her head poking her head, and asked with a smile: "Master, are you free now? Disciple heard a piece of news recently, but I haven't figured it out after a long time of thinking about it."

While talking, the girl jumped into the door with a smile on her face, first picked up the teapot obediently, poured tea for the high priest respectfully, then sat cross-legged at the table, looking at the high priest eagerly.

"Gu Tianya is going to build a country, but what he wants to build is actually a vassal country."

……

Almost at the same time, in the tent of Turkic Khan in the western grassland.

The little prince Dieluozhi was full of confusion, raising his hand to scratch his forehead from time to time.

Not far from him, Jieli Khan held a dagger in his hand, cut off a piece of roast mutton, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

Suddenly Jieli Khan sneered and said: "This is Gu Tianya's conspiracy, and it is a tactic to advance by retreating."

Tieluozhi raised his face, and hurriedly asked for advice: "Dear Father Khan, can you explain it to me carefully? Why does Mr. Gu refuse to establish a superior state, but instead want to establish a second-class vassal state?"

It's a pity that after he asked this question, Jieli Khan did not answer immediately, but his face suddenly sank, and he scolded: "You are the prince of the Turks, you are not allowed to call Gu Tianya Mr. He will pay it back one day."

Die Luozhi had a bitter face, lowered his head and said, "Father Khan, today's grassland cannot be separated from the Han people's Youzhou. Whether it is the goods on the mutual market, or the investment in Youzhou city. The Turkic people are used to the Han people. Things, I can’t go back to my previous life.”

The little guy stopped here for a while, then suddenly summoned up the courage to raise his head, looked at Jieli Khan solemnly and said, "Father Khan, please forget what happened at the beginning. The Turkic people can no longer be enemies with the Han people, we should fight against them." Be friends."

Jieli Khan was furious, as if he wanted to scold him again, but when he opened his mouth, it turned into a sigh for some reason.

The grassland hero who once shook the world, with a look of loneliness on his face, said bitterly: "Forget it, forget it, today is different, the Han people have risen. Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty has continued to stabilize, while Gu Tianya's Youzhou has become a place guarding the grassland. The barrier to the south, in the next 50 years, the Turks will never have another chance."

He paused while talking, looked at Die Luo Zhi, sighed softly and said: "You are very confused why Gu Tianya wants to build a vassal state, right?"

Die Luozhi nodded quickly, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I can't figure out the reason for this. The king of the upper country is the emperor, and the king of the princes is only the king. Although they all belong to the king level, the emperor and the king After all, there is a lot of difference. Obviously Mr. Gu can be called emperor, but he chooses to be the lord of a prince."

Jieli Khan smiled coldly and said: "If he is in a hurry to become emperor, Ben Khan will look down on him instead. Now he wants to build a princely state, which is in line with his steady and steady character."

Die Luozhi hurriedly asked again: "Why?"

Jieli Khan slowly put down his dagger, his eyes flickered with deep color, and said in a deep voice: "The land he controls now is known to the world as the Seven States of Youyun, with a territory of about 300 miles and a population of about [-]. [-] million... Die Luozhi, let me ask you, how many Shang Kingdoms are there in the whole world? What is the territory and population of the Shang Kingdoms?"

Although Die Luozhi has a simple personality, this little guy is a prince after all, and he almost didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and he blurted out an answer: "Nowadays, there are four great kingdoms in the whole world, namely the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains of the Han people, and the Turkic kingdoms in our grasslands. The Khanate, the ancient kingdom of Tianzhu in the southwest, and the Great Food Kingdom to the west of the Western Regions. Among them, the Great Tang has the largest population, but the Great Food Kingdom has the widest territory."

The little guy paused while talking, and then said: "The territory of the Shang Kingdom must be at least a thousand miles wide. As for the population, the minimum must be 500 million. Although no one deliberately set this limit, but All countries in the world think so. If you don’t reach this limit, you can’t be called a country.”

Jieli Khan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Has Gu Tianya's strength reached this limit?"

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Mr. Gu's Youyun Qizhou has a territory of [-] miles, and the population is more than [-] million."

Jieli Khan said: "This is not enough to open up a state."

Die Luozhi couldn't help but argue, and said: "But Mr. Gu defeated Goguryeo, and the territory and population of Goguryeo already belong to him. If you count this part of the territory and population, Mr. Gu is definitely qualified to establish a Shangguo."

Jieli Khan smiled lightly, and said earnestly: "Dieluozhi, remember, the territory of Goguryeo has indeed belonged to Gu Tianya, but the people of Goguryeo definitely do not belong to Gu Tianya. Not only do they not belong, but they are a burden. Gu Tianya can't solve this matter, he will never become an emperor..."

Die Luozhi was in a daze, obviously still puzzled, and murmured: "The people of Goguryeo?"

Jieli Khan stood up slowly, and walked to the door of Khan's tent with his hands behind his back. The prairie Khan looked in the direction of Liaodong, then at Youzhou, and said in a deep voice, "Although Father Khan, I don't like Gu Tianya very much. , but I really admire this man's heart. He didn't rush to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, but chose to be the lord of a prince..."

He paused slowly while speaking, and then continued: "This also means that Gu Tianya has realized from the bottom of his heart that Goguryeo is not the foundation for the time being. To become a qualified emperor, the first thing to do is to endure. Gu Tianya, Very tolerant."

Die Luozhi's tone was a little unwilling, and he whispered: "Is it just tolerable? Mr. Gu is obviously very powerful."

Jieli Khan laughed and said: "He is indeed very powerful, otherwise I would not admire him. This time he deliberately let everyone know that he is going to build a vassal state. The news spread Afterwards, people with discerning eyes will definitely be able to guess his thoughts... But how many discerning people are there in the world? Most of them are fools with little knowledge. Especially those people in Goguryeo, they may be secretly excited at this time, but they don't understand, Gu Tianya's move is aimed at them."

……

Liaodong, the hometown of Goguryeo.

In a dense primeval forest, a clearing was suddenly opened up. In this clearing, a stockade was actually built, and in the stockade, an army was practicing.

Suddenly someone from outside the village rushed over and shouted excitedly: "Gu Tianya is afraid, Gu Tianya is afraid."

With a loud roar, the man rushed into the stockade, then continued to run wildly, and rushed into a house in the middle of the stockade.

After a short while, countless wild laughter resounded from the whole village.

"There's news from Youzhou that Gu Tianya is about to found a country, but he doesn't dare to establish a superior country, he only dares to establish a second-class vassal state!"

"Do you know what that means? It means that he is afraid of us Goguryeo people."

"Although he has already invaded our country, he is afraid of the resistance of our Goguryeo people. He dare not treat us as his own people. He knows that we will not submit to his rule..."

"Military training must continue. Gu Tianya is obviously afraid. This is our greatest opportunity. As long as our resistance is not extinguished, one day we will restore the glory of Goguryeo."

"We Goguryeo people will never let outsiders rule."

Chapter 414 [See also Gu Tianya's routine, win the hearts of the people]

I have a backstage in the Tang Dynasty Chapter 414 of the main text volume [See also Gu Tianya’s routine, and return to the hearts of the people] At this time, in the Anton Governor’s Mansion, Gu Tianya is standing on the top floor with his hands behind his back. This is the tallest building in the city, almost Get a bird's-eye view of everything in the city.

Suddenly he asked with a smile, and said with deep meaning: "The little beggar took Zhao Laosi's steamed bun again, what do you think of this matter?"

Not far behind him, Yuan Gai Suwen stood with his hands down, and replied after hearing the words: "People are hungry and want to eat."

Gu Tianya turned back to look at him, smiled and asked again: "Is it that simple?"

Yuan Gai Suwen hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said, "Reporting to Patriarch, it's that simple."

Gu Tianya laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and said meaningfully: "You, you, you didn't tell the truth. In fact, you don't need to be so cautious, you should know that I am an open-minded person."

Yuan Gai Suwen remained silent.
