The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

Wang Rengong looked increasingly old and frail. He asked tremblingly, "Does the patriarch believe that Li Shimin is a wise ruler?"

Sect Leader Xi looked directly into Wang Rengong's cloudy eyes and explained earnestly: "This requires your joint verification. I just found a successor who is in line with the collective interests of everyone."

It's not like I'm rushing to die.

Sect Leader Xi looked at everyone, leaned forward and spoke from the bottom of his heart: "The situation in Border Town was special at the beginning. A total of 39 cities were looted by the Turks, and there were only a few powerful people left. There were no aristocratic families."

"Therefore, the new policy in Border Town will face very little resistance and will take effect very quickly. I can suppress everything with my personal force."

"At that time, the Turks were very powerful and could invade the border at any time, so the border towns had to resume production as quickly as possible. So I went ahead and pushed for the new policy."

"Looking at Jincheng now, only Xue Rengao's methods are too cruel... Even so, Song Shidao still needs to take local forces into consideration when he governs."

Of course, there is no need to accommodate this concern. It is just an attitude. Sect Leader Xi does not want to cause panic among local forces.

It's not like they're completely useless.

But compared to the border town, the policy of Jincheng was much more relaxed when the Xi clan leader directly packed up the powerful people and stuffed them into Shanyang.

Even the Longxi Road needs to make some concessions.

"The situation in Guanzhong and the south is completely different from that in the border town. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the common people had no way to survive, and the areas with a slightly larger population all relied on the protection of local forces. If I dare to implement the new border town policy in Guanzhong and the south, I will be the next Yang Guang, waiting to be attacked by the masses."

Even in the border town, why did everyone look forward to her ascending the throne and becoming emperor day and night?

Four words: reward and promotion.

After being awarded titles and honors, they will become nobles and officials of the new dynasty.

By then, if Sect Leader Xi dares to mention the words "beat the local tyrants and divide the land", Sect Leader Xi will become the number one enemy of everyone here without waiting for the attack from the south.

Therefore, Patriarch Xi never touched the powerful people in Shanyang, and their properties that were clearly recorded and matched with official books were also retained.

.

Back to the present, Sect Leader Xi can certainly fight the forces in Guanzhong and the south to the end, and it is very likely that she, Xi Mingming, will win the final victory.

What happens next? How many people will be left in the Central Plains?

Without population, what is the meaning of the world?

The aristocratic families are indeed wealthy. They have built fortresses, kept strong slaves, and stored weapons. They can fight with you, Lord Xi, for a long time. The people can't wait any longer.

If the war continues, will we really have to wait until there are 180 million households in the country? At the peak of Sui Wending's reign, there were 870 million households in the country. Behind these cold numbers are the real lives of ordinary people.

Some people may suggest beheading them, comparing their genealogy and killing them one by one.

An iron-blooded regime was established in the midst of white terror... Historical lessons tell us that such a regime is not only short-lived, but its backlash will make society even more tragic.

.

To deal with these aristocratic families, Sect Leader Xi had already prepared a blunt knife, waiting to slowly cut the flesh after unification.

Why waste the people?

With the concentration of military power, the invention of movable copper type printing and a mature system of imperial examinations, within two generations, if the aristocratic families wanted to be more arrogant than the princes, they would be courting their own destruction.

She wants to use her energy where she and the system can play the most role and benefit future generations, such as measuring the world, marking minerals, finding new types of crops, etc.

This is the correct way to use the Grand Master.

Only she knew where to find these things, and she was a master of martial arts. She would not die easily in a shipwreck, and could draw complete sea charts and world maps for future generations.

From now on, the Central Plains dynasty should stop thinking about infighting all the time.

Are you dissatisfied with not being able to obtain the throne?

The world map is given to you, go and fight on your own!

Instead of getting involved in politics, which Xi Mingming was not good at.

.

Sect Leader Xi sincerely asked General Manager Gao: "The Border City Army defeated the Western Qin and defeated the Turks. There are indeed more people coming to surrender. Finally, they can read and write. But Hongde, have you met any talent that impressed you?"

We don't even need great people like Fang Xuanling, Du Keming, Kong Yingda, and Xue Bobao, you can even have someone like Xu Jingzong, who has an extremely complex character.

not even one.

Why? Isn't it because you are afraid of the new policies of Sect Leader Xi?

Good fellow, disregarding all odds to distribute benefits and land to the common people. From Guanzhong to the south, who wouldn't guard against the Xi clan leader like a tiger or a wolf?

Gao Hongde lowered his head and said nothing.

Sect Leader Xi was seriously calculating her big plan: "Li Shimin's status as the crown prince is certain, and the Li Tang will collapse without a fight. No matter how much Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng resist, they will be forced to surrender by their subordinates and the army."

Conquer the enemy without fighting and gain control of the second largest force in the Central Plains.

"The second is that if the border troops attack the south, the resistance to unifying the country will be much smaller."

It is impossible for Li Tang to defeat the border town army at this stage. Li Shimin has become the crown prince of the northern border. Even Li Yuan's confidants have to pack up their families and send them to Li Shimin's Qin Palace overnight.

The Xi clan leader said: "The world has not yet been truly unified. You have plenty of opportunities to work with Li Shimin, observe him, and test him. If Li Shimin can gain your recognition as his master, he will ascend the throne directly, and you will be his loyal subjects."

Han Yu summarized it in "On Dragon" that the merits of following a dragon are not as good as those of being a minister who supports the dragon.

Li Jing was filled with deep sorrow and couldn't help crying. "In the final analysis, the leader is worried about the people first and then about us. The soldiers on both sides are from the Central Plains. The leader believes that this move will result in the least number of civilian casualties and will unify the world the fastest."

.

Li Shimin came from a noble family and now that he had taken over Guanzhong, the resistance in the south would not be as fierce as when he faced the Xi clan leader.

They, these subordinates, suddenly became Li Shimin's loyal ministers, and with the support of the Xi clan leader, as their successor, as long as Li Shimin was not a mean and ungrateful person, and as long as they did not rebel, they would enjoy a life of wealth and luxury.

Caring about the people - this aspect of the clan leader has not changed at all since they first met.

Why is the heaven so unfair that it does not allow the sect master to have descendants? Should the Grand Master pay such a price? It would be better if the sect master was not a Grand Master.

But the clan leader is not a grandmaster... If the clan leader was not a grandmaster, he would not have been able to intimidate the Turks for so long by himself, allowing the border town army to get the opportunity to develop.

It all seems like an endless loop.

But Li Jing felt aggrieved. Why? Why was it that the clan leader, who had conquered the world with his own hands, was still the one who had to consider the overall situation?

Is it really true that heaven abhors fullness and human nature abhors perfection?

(Master Xi: I have paid social security for sixty years in two lifetimes. I finally have the chance to enjoy a top-notch retirement life in this lifetime. Please help me.)

.

The entire meeting hall fell silent for a moment. Everyone was in an extremely low mood, with occasional sobs.

Yuchi Jingde hesitated and said, "The Grand Master has a long life span, right? The Master should be able to live until we die?"

Jingde was so frank with her words that she would have to explain everything to Li Shimin later.

Sect Leader Xi had to nod in approval, "It's very possible. But first, I'm a woman, second, there's no heir who can convince the public, and third, because of the new policy of Border Town. Now the Border Town Army has an excellent advantage. If these three points are not changed, times will change. Do you believe it... the Border Town Army will have a harder time as the battle goes on? Will the advantage gradually turn into a disadvantage?"

The Border Town Army has horses from Longxi Road, and the Xi clan leader has iron smelting technology. In the end the Border Town Army will definitely win, but it will inevitably be a miserable victory.

If the border town adjusts its strategy, the border town army will not be able to remain invincible; if the border town does not adjust its new policy, the South will inevitably fight a desperate battle.

Endless loop.

Due to different interests, the war will inevitably end to the death.

Unless Master Xi tolerates the division between the North and the South.

What is the meaning of all that the Xi clan leader has done? It is even worse than the Tang Dynasty in the course of history. What is the purpose?

Nothing can better illustrate everything than the fact that Xi Zongzhu appointed Li Shimin as the crown prince.

Firstly, Li Shimin's noble status brought great comfort to the aristocratic families. Secondly, he brought with him the power of the Li Tang Dynasty. No one could be more conducive to the border town army's unification of the world than him as the crown prince.

We have to wait for Li Shimin to kill Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng personally and reorganize the Li Tang Dynasty... The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for the border town.

It's better to cut through the mess quickly.

It just so happened that Li Shimin was at a crossroads in his life, and Sect Leader Xi did not want to fall into the Demon Sect's inferior schemes, nor did he want the Demon Sect to use even dirtier means.

Everything was just right.
