"Okay, I would like to ask if I need to be punished according to my Tang Dynasty laws, robbery, murder, and murder of women, etc.? And what punishment will I be punished?"

"Of course I'll be punished!"

"Then let me ask again, did the Turks rob me of the Tang people? Have you ever killed innocent good people? Have you ever raped good women?"

The minister was stunned. He seemed to understand what Li Chengqian wanted to say.

"Haha, it seems that this lord has understood that since the people of our Tang Dynasty commit crimes such as looting, murder, and raping women, and those who are serious must even beheaded directly, why do those Turkic people who have committed various crimes to our Tang Dynasty do not need to be punished and also have to give various preferential treatment to the court?"

"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince too cruel? The number of Turkic captives this time is less than 300,000. If all the people were killed as stated by Your Highness, how different is it from Bai Qi?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. When did I say that I would kill all these people? There are many ways to punish criminals, killing them directly is the most unfeasible one."

"Oh? What does that prince's intention?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Those Turkic prisoners are all strong laborers. I built roads, bridges, and water conservancy in the Tang Dynasty all require the people to perform labor service. Why not let these Turkic prisoners work? This will eliminate the hardship of labor service for the people and carry out labor reform for the Turks, how good is it?"

"The old ministers who said that His Highness the Crown Prince do not agree with it. Our country has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. The Master said: How can we treat grievances with virtue?

"Don't tell me that I have the right to do it, and what Confucius said is not to repay grievances with virtue, right? You always see that you are a well-read poet and book lover, why can't you even remember what Confucius said? Go back and read the book carefully to see if Confucius said whether he repays grievances with straightforwardness or repays grievances with virtue."

"Your Highness, Confucius did say that he would repay kindness with virtue and to repay grievances with righteousness. But if you use more than 100,000 Turkish prisoners to build roads and bridges as His Highness said, who should manage the Turkic land?"

"This is not simple. Didn't our Tang Dynasty have fiefs for the nobles? Isn't it enough to directly reward soldiers and generals who have made contributions to the destruction of the Turks this time?"

"Haha, it's ridiculous. Your Highness knows what the situation in the northern desert is. You can only grazing but not farming. How can you reward such barren land to meritorious ministers? Wouldn't it disappoint the meritorious ministers?"

"Would you be good to use your brain? Rewarding the land of the Turks to meritorious ministers is a heavy reward. How could it make them feel upset? Everyone knows that my Tang Dynasty lacked plowing oxen and war horses. In the past, I always had to buy or exchange it with the Turks and other northern ethnic groups through various means, but why can't we grazing ourselves? Don't tell me that no one can grazing!"

"That's not right. Your Highness knows how much food is consumed by more than 100,000 people every day? Not to mention whether the court can bear it, so many people gather together, what if they rebel?"

"It's very simple. You can order people who are unwilling to perform labor service to pay an extra dou of rice every year. I believe that there are many people in the country who are unwilling to perform labor service? As for fear of their rebellion, it is even simpler. You can directly separate the Turkic prisoners in a team of 100 people, and set up a captain, and the Turks are responsible for the role of the Turks. We can give this captain preferential treatment, such as ordinary Turks eat bran, he eats meat, ordinary Turks live in thatched huts, and brick houses... It's not enough to transfer hatred to these captains!"

"hiss!"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he heard a sound of air-absorbing in the hall. All the ministers looked at Li Chengqian with a look of looking at monsters.

It was really unimaginable that standing in front of them was a child who was only eleven years old!

Li Chengqian didn't care about their reaction. He was already saying something, and continued with excitement: "Also, we can divide the Turks into three or six or six levels, such as selecting a group of people who are kind to our Tang Dynasty, and those who speak Tang Dynasty Mandarin will set them first-class slaves. As long as they have worked hard for three years and there is no bad behavior in the middle, they can give him the identity of civilians in the Tang Dynasty, and they can be allowed to wear Tang suits. Their children can go to my Tang Dynasty private school for free; selecting a group of people, giving them the identity of second-class slaves, and serving five years can be upgraded to first-class slaves, and so on! They can become civilians after serving three years, and so on! Let them have a little hope in their hearts, so that they will not have the desire to resist."

"besides……"

In the stunned silence of all the ministers, including Li Shimin, Li Chengqian talked for two quarters of an hour, explaining how the Turks would completely disappear from all aspects such as politics, economy, culture, and the method of eternal peace in the north of the subway was explained until his mouth was dry and his tongue stopped.

"Oh, I'm so thirsty, I'll say this today. Let's talk about it another day and have a meeting." Looking at everyone's "worship" gaze, Li Chengqian was so proud that he waved his hand, looking like a soul tutor.

"Rareless! Come on, send the prince to the empress's harem and let the empress discipline him strictly. Without my permission, you must not take a step out of the Lizheng Hall!"

"Ga?"

Li Chengqian was stupid. What's going on?
