According to Chen Lifu’s proposition, the empire should unify the world and spread the emperor’s grace and rain all over the world. Of course, in order to demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of the empire, Africa can be temporarily rewarded to the indigenous barbarians to live and live.
Based on this policy, in fact, the expansion of the empire in Africa is limited, only controlling part of North Africa, South Africa and coastal areas, while the vast central and inland areas of Africa are not involved.
These places have already been determined by the Tang Empire long ago, just to reflect the mighty grace of the emperor, the land that the Son of Heaven gave to foreign races can also be referred to as the land of gifts.
Therefore, the globalization of empires does not include the vast interior regions of Africa.
And Chen Lifu’s eagerness to globalize the empire is definitely not because the empire needs a wider supply of raw materials or dumping of industrial products, nor does it mean that the people of the empire need more land.
There are even some voices within the empire saying that it is fine now, and there is no need to continue large-scale expansion.
After all, we have entered the industrial age, and there is enough land. There is no need to occupy all the sites.
There is another sentence that many people dare not say openly, that is, the occupation is for nothing. After hundreds of years, it will not be the same to rebel and become independent. Now the empire has already worked hard to maintain the situation in the Americas. The number of troops stationed in the Americas is increasing year by year, but the upper echelons of the empire are more worried about the independence of the Americas every year.
After this, it will occupy all parts of Europe, and there is a high probability that the same situation will occur.
Therefore, many people are not willing to engage in global unification. It is good to keep these indigenous countries as dumping grounds for products, and it is good to cut a wave of leeks from time to time. There is no need to go to great lengths to unify the world.
However, there are people who have these ideas, but they are not the mainstream. The mainstream is actually like Chen Lifu: Unifying the world is something you can’t ask you to do. Now that you don’t vote, it’s really sorry. Ancestor, I can’t help myself.
Moreover, the most important thing is that since the empire has determined the policy of “beating rather than buying” and “buying rather than wanting”, the cost of unifying the world is extremely low!
If you want to occupy a certain place in the early days, you have to start an army, and spend tens of millions of Tang Yuan at every turn!
In the mid-term, the people of the Tang Dynasty learned to be smart and invested money directly. This cost tens of millions of Tang yuan to buy the Americas controlled by the Spanish and Portuguese, and it cost hundreds of dollars to buy Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula from the Ottomans. That’s all.
In the later period, that is, a few years ago, when Datang and the Tatars made deals, they even saved money. The Datang people just promised to give them a place to live in the future, sell them a batch of weapons at a low price, and after signing a batch of commercial and trade agreements, the Tatars themselves gave a large area of Eastern European land directly to the Datang people.
Before fighting the Ottomans, the Tatars were not for the purpose of occupying these lands for themselves and launching the war, but only to lay down this area and then hand it over to the Tang people in exchange for various benefits.
In this process, the cost directly paid by the Datang Empire was actually very small, and it would only be several million Tang Yuan if it died.
However, the Tatars are not at a loss, and they have made a fortune in the Ottoman war by capturing a lot of spoils.
As for the cost of the Ottomans relocating to the country, this has nothing to do with the Datang people, it is just a normal loan, and the Ottomans have to repay the principal and interest.
To sum up, since it cooperated with the Tatars, there is basically no cost for the Datang Empire to unify a large area of territory, not to mention the risks.
Unless the earth explodes or aliens invade, there is no risk to the Tang Empire!
This is also an important reason why many Datang people support the globalization of the empire!
At the high level of the empire, specifically Chen Lifu, the reason why he proposed this is to promote it rapidly.
That is because he is not too young, and he has been the minister on duty in the imperial study for some years. If it is based on the normal situation, he should have started his career a few years ago.
In fact, he has a regular begging bone fracture every year, and the Son of Heaven has refuted it every time!
This is his special treatment as the foreman on duty in the imperial study!
Before him, Liu Bagou, Jia Wenbo, and several other foreman of the imperial study had received this kind of special treatment, but even so, his tenure was limited, and it was impossible to keep working!
He needs to do great things before he goes to office, so that he can completely overwhelm the previous ministers in the imperial study, and even Liu Bagou, and make himself the first minister of the Xuanping Dynasty!
Hundreds of thousands of years later, when later generations talked about the prosperity of Tang Xuanping, they may have forgotten other people, but they must remember the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan and his Chen Lifu.
For this reason, his heart is very urgent, and this urgency is getting more and more intensified as time goes by.
In the past year or two, Chen Lifu was able to deeply feel that Jia Wenbo, his predecessor, would be so urgent a few years ago.
Forty years after Xuanping, Jia Wenbo, the oldest person in the imperial study at that time, began to urgently promote the development of the domestic economy, and it became more and more urgent as time passed.
Previously, Chen Lifu still despised Jia Wenbo and thought he was too impatient.
But now he, Chen Lifu, can understand Jia Wenbo back then. It’s not that he is impatient, but that the time is not waiting for me.
It took so many years for him to get ahead in the imperial study, and he became the oldest and most powerful minister in the Tang Empire.
If you don’t do it well, you will be forced to beg for bones, and even if you do it well, there are not a few years left.
In addition to Liu Bagou in the early years, he has served as the oldest minister on duty in the imperial study, which is actually the foreman of the imperial study.
After getting out of the job, the tenure is still as short as three years~www.mtlnovel.com~ but five years, no matter how old you are or how healthy you are, you still need a begging skeleton!
This is because in the political arena of the Tang Empire, officials have a limited number of years to hold leadership positions. Generally speaking, when a leadership position is held for a short period of three years, a long period of five years will generally lead to transfer, and in some special cases Appropriate extension, but at most it will be extended for a year or two.
It is impossible to keep you in a leadership role forever.
The same is true for the foreman of the imperial study!
To maintain the healthy development of the imperial political arena, it needs the mobility of officials, thereby ensuring the upward passage of officials, and at the same time preventing officials from holding a certain institution for a long time and forming an independent kingdom.
Therefore, the empire has expressly stipulated that the short term for leading officials is three years, and the long term is five years. At the same time, it is matched with relevant systems such as the age of officials.
