    "It's really strange today. You actually learned to tidy up your clothes before coming to see me." Li Shimin asked in surprise.  7¡Ñx.c After Li Shimin finished speaking, Qiu He, Qiu Xinggong¡¯s father, was speechless for a while.  My son is so rude. He used to look disheveled when he saw the emperor. Isn't this annoying?  When meeting the emperor, he is disheveled, let alone when meeting other people.  Although some people can understand your informality, most people can't understand it!  After all, the person you are meeting actually comes to see you disheveled. This is disrespectful to you. How many people with a good temper can understand this?  Therefore, being disheveled is also a big problem, and this Qiu Xinggong is not very good at dealing with others, so this is the result.  "Your Majesty, Quanzi will definitely change! I have persuaded Quanzi to change his shortcomings before he can serve the Emperor." Qiu He said.  Li Shimin looked at Qiu Xinggong and nodded, saying, "It's not bad! It seems that someone gave me some advice, otherwise he wouldn't be so sensible at all." "Your Majesty, it was Wang Xuance who helped General Qiu this time.  The emperor summoned the two of them to come to see him, that is to say, he was going to send envoys to Linyi State to convince him to become the Tang Dynasty's Jizhou Prefecture and establish the Annan Protectorate. They would be the chief historian in charge of civil affairs and the Sima of military affairs.  . As for other officials, they are also selected one by one." Jing Wen said.  Li Shimin took the initiative and asked Qiu Xinggong: "You were originally a Zuowei general from the third rank. Now if you serve as Sima of the Annan Protectorate, you will not be an official position from the fourth rank. You have been lowered by four consecutive ranks.  "Grade, are you willing?" Li Shimin's statement is also true. Originally, Qiu Xinggong's highest position was General Zuowei, whose status was at least equivalent to that of deputy envoy of Jiedu after the army was restructured, and deputy commander of an army.  But now he has been demoted to an official position below the fourth rank.  Obviously it has also been reduced a lot.  After all, this requires demotion, and no one is willing to do it.  So Li Shimin asked him if he was willing to be demoted.  Many people would rather resign than be demoted, because being demoted is looked down upon by many colleagues.  "Your Majesty, as long as you give Quan Zi a chance, you can start him as a soldier," Qiu He said.  Although Qiu He said this, it was obvious that he was willing to lower his official position on behalf of his son.  Don't think this is a lowered status, but in fact the power is much greater.  The left guard general from the past.  Although he seems to be the second in command of a guard, his actual power is very low.  Within the old military system of the Tang Dynasty, generals did not directly control the army, but led the world's troops from afar.  Therefore, the left-back general could actually lead only a few hundred soldiers, maybe not even a few hundred soldiers.  In this case, it is also very good to take the initiative to demote yourself, and then go to distant places to expand territory for the country and gain a lot of benefits.  And by then it can be said that he will control a huge territory, with no less than thousands of troops under his command.  It can be said that the real power has been expanded several times. As for the dividends that can be obtained by searching for the colonies, that is an even more exciting thing.  So let alone a demotion, there are probably many people who would be willing to take this demotion.  This is a huge fat hole.  Once people know about it, I'm afraid many people will rush to take up the position.  Who wouldn¡¯t want to take advantage of such a reasonable and legal job?  Qiu Xinggong is able to have this opportunity now, thanks to everyone not realizing it.  And he had the recommendation of Fang Xuanling, so he had the opportunity to work in the south.  Others may not realize that this is a lucrative position, but Qiu He, who also served as the general manager of Jiaozhou for a long time, is from a minority ethnic group in the south of Xuanfu.  Don't you know that this is a fat position?  Although Qiu He is a military attache, he has been engaged in diplomacy for decades since the Sui Dynasty. He is very aware of the fishy things involved!  The imperial court needs those ethnic minorities to provide tribute. Of course, as people in these diplomatic departments, they can take the opportunity to increase the number of tributes, and then the top will ask for one tribute, and the bottom will become five or six.  Of course, this is actually gray income and not legal income.  But now the Tang Dynasty actually made it clear that local officials can get 1% of the tribute.  Moreover, the number of tributes was not clearly stated by the superiors. Everything was decided by the local Grand Protectorate.  ?Then doesn¡¯t Xiaqiuhe still understand?  This is to exploit those so-called vassal countries, and then exploit them hard.  There was no mission target assigned by the superiors, but a 1% commission was actually given, which meant that the subordinates were allowed to exploit as much as they could, and then they were sent back to the central government to give them a commission.  Now it's fun. Although Qiu He knows what a colony is, he is deeply aware of the tricks inside it.  With this public rule, all fools know that the gray income in the past has become public and legal.  If this continues, everyone will want to make money.    Since everyone likes Brother Kong Fang, of course everyone wants to work in the Annan Protectorate, so that everyone can get Brother Kong Fang!  Anyway, it is not the people in the country who are unlucky, and the Confucian scholars in the country who exploit foreign people will not say much.  Anyway, we are in a foreign country, so we are not afraid of any interference from Confucian scholars.  When the time comes, it's time to make money. Anyway, as long as you have the ability to exploit, you can get a lot of good things from the local indigenous people.  No one is a fool now, of course they know the benefits of making money.  "Well, since you are willing, I won't say anything more. But I hope you can suppress the people in those places and let them pay tribute to the imperial court!" Li Shimin said with a pun.  Qiu Xinggong didn't know what Li Shimin meant, but Wang Xuance took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, we understand. We will definitely educate those natives and make them grateful to Wang Hua, and then pay more good things to the court."  "Very good! Since you all understand what I mean, I won't say more. I will give you a chance!" Li Shimin said.  Next to him, Li Shimin's daily servant Chu Sui cursed in his conscience: "These bastards are discussing how to exploit the country in front of me, but every word, every word, every word, every word and deed is like a gentleman. This is not to guard against me."  "Li Shimin and Jing Wen didn't use a single curse word in their conversation.  And those who exploited local vassals were just using the name of tribute.  As for asking the vassal country to provide more tribute, that is because the vassal country is grateful to the king, so it is like this.  As for how to make them grateful, this is what some people have said.  But they never said a bad word in front of Chu Suiliang. In this way, everything recorded in Chu Suiliang's daily notes was a good word.  Later generations will never be able to tell from this living note that it contains the blood and tears of the local indigenous people.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
