After Shangguanyi and Qin Huaiyu left, Li Yin recalled the past history. The history of the Tang Dynasty was the most glorious history in China, and it was also a history of being bullied by foreigners. The history of the Tang Dynasty has never been a foreign war. In the period of Li Shimin's civil and military rule, he deterred the domestic and made the foreigners surrender, but after Li Shimin, the situation took a turn for the worse. During the period of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, Tubo sent troops to **** the four towns in the Western Regions. Xue Rengui led 200,000 troops but was defeated by Tubo. Emperor Zhongzong made peace even more, ceding land and humiliating for peace. During Wu Zetian's period, the northern Turks became stronger again and invaded the Central Plains. During the Tang Xuanzong period, the Tang Dynasty was defeated twice by the Nanzhao barbarians. In the first battle, 60,000 Tang soldiers died, and in the second battle, 70,000 people died. Yizhou City was captured, and tens of thousands of Tang people were taken as slaves.
As for the barbarians in the south of Yizhou, Li Yin had already had the idea of cleaning them up, but he was still fledgling and could not lightly start a war, and there were a large number of Nanban. According to historical data, the Nanzhao Kingdom at that time At its peak, the population reached 6 million. Although this is the data a hundred years later, it can be inferred that the population of Nanman will not be less than 3 million, while the population of the entire Shu region is only 17.8 million. That's all, that's why the later Nanzhao Kingdom was able to invade Shu, but fortunately during Li Shimin's period, there were many barbarian tribes and no unified tribe was formed, otherwise Li Shimin would face another problem at that time.
The barbarians appeared in Yizhou City and were suspected of killing people. This is never a pleasant thing. The sudden sense of crisis made Li Yin feel that he should research the flintlock gun as soon as possible. Now that the gunpowder has been successfully developed, the rest is For the prototype of firearms, Li Yin thinks that if he wants to get a gun, it is better to go abroad. After all, it is illegal to collect shotguns in China. When you go abroad, you can buy some old firearms in the name of collection, and then throw them into the research institute. , Let them develop it, so that the speed will be much faster, and Li Yin also wants to get a gun for self-defense, just in case.
"Chairman, do you want to immigrate?" Xia Yan was a little surprised when Li Yin expressed his thoughts at Datang Corporation. Of course, she didn't understand that Li Yin's immigrant was for the legal purchase of firearms, not because he really wanted to immigrate. .
Li Yan spread his hands and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Is it strange? It's just a green card from country m. Aren't you also a returnee?"
"It's just that the chairman suddenly proposed it. It's a little unexpected. If the chairman wants to immigrate, it's very simple, just apply for investment immigration." Xia Yan is familiar with this aspect and said casually.
Li Yin nodded. This is the way he is quite satisfied with. Other ways such as work and marriage are unreliable to him. The way of directly using money is straightforward, "Then I will trouble you, and help me apply for it on my behalf." .”
"It's just a trivial matter, but what is the chairman's investment amount?" Xia Yan asked.
"The least!" Li Yin said.
Xia Yan shook his head: "Chairman, you just want to get a green card. Well, then, I'll find a qualified investment project. Otherwise, if the investment fails, the green card will be withdrawn."
After staying in Datang Company for a while, Li Yin returned to the palace. When he entered the south courtyard, he heard crisp laughter in the room. One belonged to Cui Yingying, and the other belonged to Su Moer very well. This girl When did it come again?
When Li Yin came in, Su Mo'er saluted and said, "Mo'er sees Your Highness!"
"Exemption!" Li Yin touched Su Xiaoyan's head, and the little girl immediately smiled innocently. Now she is a lot more courageous, even if she sees Cui Yingying, she is very open-minded, and basically takes this place as her own.
Seeing Li Yin's actions, Su Mo'er's eyes flashed with warmth, and she said: "Your Highness, I have found you the two people you want."
"Really!" Li Min beamed with joy and said, "Take me to meet them quickly."
At this moment, Su Mo'er smiled wryly, and said: "Your Highness, just as you thought, this Xue Rengui heard that His Highness intends to recruit him, but readily agreed, and is resting at the inn now, but that Sun Simiao is too pedantic and unwilling to come to benefit Later, Mo'er tied him up, and he was very noisy along the way, and now he is clamoring for a hunger strike at the inn."
"Hunger strike?" Many people who engage in academic research are people with weird tempers. This is within Li Yin's prediction. He said: "Then starve him for a few days first, and bring Xue Rengui first."
Su Mo'er responded and went out. Cui Yingying frowned and said at this time: "A little sick doctor is so ignorant that the palace condescends to recruit him, and he is still like this. I think we just need to give him a good beating first." until he is subdued."
Cui Yingying’s philosophy of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty reminded Li Min of the story in history when Li Shimin asked Wu Meiniang how to tame the lion Cong. It was possible to do this when he had supreme authority, but it was still inappropriate for him now.
Li Yan glared at her, "This is government affairs, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes!" Cui Yingying remembered something, and Li Yin was reminding her not to participate in political affairs at will.
Cui Yingying was born in the rich Cui family. She has a strong personality. She has read poetry and books since she was a child. Min didn't want her to be too involved in these matters, so she was only asked to manage the business of the Shu Palace. Although Cui Yingying understood this, she also wanted to learn from Empress Changsun and not interfere in government affairs, but her character is here, and sometimes she still forgets. For some small things, Shangguanyi did not dare to disobey Cui Yingying's orders, so she could only follow them. For this reason, Li Yin told her several times, but now she has restrained a lot.
In doing this, Li Yin was just guarding against his relatives. After all, Li Yin promised Cui Shao to let some of the Cui family's children come to Yizhou. If they don't, it will only increase their arrogance, and it is not what he wants to see when a small Cui group is formed.
