Chapter 1325 Weighing the pros and cons
Tomorrow is the last day of the 19th year of Zhenguan.
The Summer Palace is now a festive celebration.
Everyone is waiting for the New Year.
However, at this moment, Li Shimin temporarily summoned a group of ministers to discuss the news that the Baiqisi had just received.
"Your Majesty, Silla Queen Jin Deman is already terminally ill. Now the launch of full Tanghua means that Kim Seung-man is officially in power.
Over the past few years, we have always hoped that all the vassal states of the vassal states could manage the country according to our rules. I think this change is a good thing for us."
As the Secretary of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Fang Xuanling first stood up and expressed his views.
"Xuanling is right. If the Silla people have this in mind, then other foreign countries may follow up in the future. This will be no harm to our Tang Dynasty."
Xiao Yu was also a little excited.
He did not expect that in his lifetime he would be able to see the vassal states around the Tang Dynasty so comprehensively transformed the Tang Dynasty.
This is definitely a matter worth writing about for traditional Confucian scholars and officials.
Although the vassal states of the foreign states were actually considered countries in the Confucian cultural circle.
But the difference between countries is actually quite obvious.
Just like the Silla Kingdom, people have always practiced bone products, and ordinary Tang people are very unfamiliar with this.
However, after the Tang Dynasty was fully transformed, the official system of the Tang Dynasty was almost copied.
On that day, the first-rank official of Silla people was different from the first-rank official of the Tang Dynasty. However, you cannot deny that they were also first-rank official.
Just like those small countries in Africa in later generations, although their strength may not be even comparable to one of your county-level cities, their president is the president.
On the international stage or diplomacy, it is connected with the top leaders of various countries.
"It is naturally a good thing for the Sillas to follow the steps of our Tang Dynasty. But I heard that there is a new team of envoys coming to Chang'an City in Jincheng.
They hope that our Datang can provide support to Silla in all walks of life, especially in workshops related to various industries such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. We hope that Datang can teach technology.
I think this matter needs to be cautious.”
Although Changsun Wuji was incompatible with Li Kuan, Li Kuan recognized what he said after hearing it.
Jin Shengman wanted to obtain various techniques from the Tang Dynasty with a comprehensive gimmick of Tang Dynasty, which was a dream.
But if no one in the court clearly objected, it is very likely that the idea of the Silla people will be realized.
After all, not everyone values technology as much.
"What Changsun Sikong said makes sense. The Silla people should learn from the Tang Dynasty, so we naturally support it.
However, when it comes to specific technology transfer, you should be cautious. For example, some common things are common. As long as Silla people are willing to appear, they are not unavailable.
However, when it comes to some core technologies, the court should also have a standard that it cannot transfer everything."
As soon as Li Kuan said this, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu and others looked at him in surprise.
Obviously, Li Kuan's opinions are highly consistent with Changsun Wuji's.
Over the years, this situation has happened in just a few times.
"His Royal Highness of the King of Chu, in all dynasties, no foreign country is willing to learn from the Sillas so thoroughly from our Central Plains dynasty. This is a rare opportunity to show the dignity of our Celestial Kingdom.
Now that you are too confused about some strange and lewd skills, there is no need to do it.
Besides, don’t our Tang Dynasty already have the Royal Patent Office of the Tang Dynasty? At most, when we transfer technology to the Silla people, we ask them to pay the patent fee. If we think about this money, they are still willing to pay it.”
Kong Yingda is now more than anyone else looking forward to the Tang Dynasty court supporting the Silla people's comprehensive Tang transformation.
This gave him the hope of the complete development and growth of Confucianism overseas.
Although the Confucius Institute had built more than a dozen branches in the previous period, its real influence was actually not very large.
After all, each Confucius Institute can accommodate a thousand people at the largest level and one or two hundred people at the smallest level.
Such a small number of people studying Confucianism has a very small impact on a country.
Besides, even if there is no Confucius Institute, these people may have studied Confucianism.
"Father, my son and I think what the ministers said makes sense, but everyone's opinions are somewhat different. Can the court give a compromise, set a threshold, or list some lists to show that those things can be transferred to the Silla people and which ones are not allowed."
Li Zhi, who had never spoken much, stood up and showed up for a wave of presence.
"The proposal of Chi Nu is good. It is rare for the Silla people to be so dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. We cannot suppress their enthusiasm.
But we cannot blindly follow their ideas and meet all the requirements.
Things like some iron smelting technology and coin minting technology, as well as Tang Yuan's printing technology, are obviously not suitable for transfer to the Silla people.
However, if the Silla people want to support things like cement workshops and honeycomb coal workshops, it will be fine if we support them.
Even if possible, we can let Datang merchants go to Xinluo District to open workshops, and as long as we don’t produce and produce some restricted things, it’s okay.”
It is rare for Li Zhi to speak, so Li Shimin naturally wants to express his support.
Anyway, I just talk about some directions, and the specific list will definitely be discussed again.
"Your Majesty, it would be great if you can take this opportunity to take control of the economic lifeline of the Silla people in the hands of our Tang Dynasty."
Cen Wenben also came out in time to flatter Li Shimin.
"Sinella people want to fully transform the Tang Dynasty, I think the generals of the Silla army are also necessary to come to our Royal Military Academy for study, and they can even ask them to hire our generals and the teaching and academy of the Military Academy to supervise and guide the Silla army for a long time.
Otherwise, we will support the Silla people by then, but if they are disobedient one day, they will dig a hole for themselves.”
Li Jing’s proposal is quite different from what everyone discussed just now.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is necessary.
"What Duke Wei said makes sense, but there are many secrets of our Tang Dynasty in the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty. It is obviously not appropriate to let the Silla people go in directly.
We can set up a special college outside Chang'an City to accommodate generals and nobles from various foreign countries to learn how to fight.
Moreover, we can refer to the situation of the Kingdom of Goguryeo in the North and South, and install officials who only belong to the Tang Dynasty in the Silla army, so that the Silla army can obey the command of our Tang Dynasty when fighting against the outside world."
Li Kuan added his point of view aside.
Focus on the economy on the one hand and the army on the other.
If one of these two things is not grasped properly, an accident will occur.
Now that Kim Seung-man has made such a bold decision to fully Tanghua, it is almost inevitable that Silla's economy will enter a stage of rapid development.
Taking this opportunity, it should be a problem for the Tang Dynasty to take control of the economic lifeline of the Silla people in its hands.
However, how to take Silla's army into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
This is more difficult.
