Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1005 Professionalization Construction of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter [-] Professional Construction in the Tang Dynasty

Everyone has ideals. When they have no food, they want to live a life without worrying about food and clothing. But when they have no worries about food and clothing, they want to live a decent life. When they have a decent life, they want to live a decent life. A life of financial freedom.

This seems to be an unsolvable problem. The problem before Xue Li is that he is not afraid of poverty, the key is his wife Liu Yingchun.Liu Yingchun was originally a lady from a rich family, enjoying a life without worrying about food and clothing.Just started to eat whole grains and mixed noodles with Xue Li, and there was still a sense of novelty, but once the novelty wore off, Liu Yingchun couldn't eat anymore when faced with simple food.

However, Liu Yingchun is a witty woman who will never make things difficult for Xue Li.Considering him everywhere, obviously he doesn't like to eat simple food, but he just pretends to like it very much.Especially when other merchants were having a picnic with roast mutton, Liu Yingchun in the carriage swallowed desperately to smear.

Of course, doing so would lose Liu Yingchun's identity.Xue Li is not a piece of wood either, he feels that he is committing a crime and he must work hard to give Liu Yingchun a happy life.

Facing the huge sum of money, Xue Li was immediately moved.With the rise of the slave trade, the slave hunting team going to Anxi made a lot of money, but many of them lost their bones.

Huge profits mean risks.

However, in the face of poverty.Many people still like to take risks.

Xue Li finally took the hundred guan bills and stuffed them into his bosom, Xue Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Li, I will accompany you in case of accidents, so I must take care of them first... "

Li Qing smiled and said: "It's natural, if you settle down in Anxi, there are a few who can go out, you might as well think about it!"

"Brother Li, please speak!"

"This one is in Tingzhou!" Li Qingxian said: "Tingzhou City has the largest number of Tang people, and there are also many garrisons. It is also the place where General Xue Wanche of Xizhou Road is. Safety will be the first. However, since we entered Anxi, it is too far away from Tingzhou, so it is very inconvenient to travel, Brother Xue is also newly married, so there may be inconvenience!"

Xue Li asked: "Where is the rest?"

"The second is Qiuci!" Li Qing first pulled Xue Li to sit down, and said with a smile, "Qiuci Town is a military town defended by Su Dingfang, the number one general under the command of Chen Dadu in Anxi, where all the barbarians are like They are as honest as mice, they dare not prick at all, and they are very safe. If we go north or west, the only downside is that real estate in Kucha is not cheap..."

In fact, ever since Chen Ying planned the development of Anxi, the real estate prices in Anxi have skyrocketed. Take the house land as an example. The price is about the same, the land is only one-tenth of the homestead, and you can buy ten mu for ten guan.In the seventh year of Wude, the homestead soared to [-] yuan per mu, and now the homestead is now at least [-] yuan per mu, and the field is about one-third of that in Guanzhong, three yuan per mu.

With one hundred coins, Xue Li could barely buy an acre of homestead near the city wall, but there was no house here.

Xue Li smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, can I borrow some more money?"

If it was an ordinary person, Li Qingxian wouldn't think about it at all.A person like him relies on a pair of eyes to make a living. His eyesight is very poisonous. Although Xue Li deliberately rubbed away the traces on the carriage, the traces of the word "Hedong" still exist. He listened to Xue Li claiming his surname Xue must have been born in Hedong Xueli.

As one of the four great families, although the Xue family of Hedong is not as good as the seven sects and five wangs, it is definitely considered the second-class family in the world, and it is as famous as the Wenxi Pei family, Hedong Liu family, and Jingzhao Wei family.

Li Qing first guessed that Xue Li must have had trouble with his family. However, as the so-called broken bones are still connected, Xue Li will definitely put aside the old feud with his family.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "I can lend you another three hundred guan, which will be deducted from your share in the future!"

When Xue Li heard this, he was overjoyed.

Xue Li signed the paper and took the money to buy supplies.Although the post station provides meals, it is definitely not cheap, and many merchants choose to cook by themselves.

Xue Li bought a lot of things, three buckets of rice, two buckets of grain, salt, vinegar, sauce, and half a leg of lamb. These things weighed heavily on his body, which made Xue Li feel very fulfilled.

Liu Yingchun and the maid washed the rice and put it in the pot. They brought the pots with them. Anyway, the briquette stove was there all night, and the merchants lined up to cook.

Waiting for the rice to be ready and the mutton to be stewed, Liu Yingchun took the rice and had dinner with Xue Li.Xue Li is a warrior, he eats a lot, and his speed is very fast, he can eat up a bowl of rice in ten breaths.

Liu Yingchun waited for Xue Li to wolf down his meal, and then asked cautiously: "This money..."

Xue Li said: "Don't worry, lady, don't steal or rob, I borrowed it by my ability!"

With that said, Xue Li put the remaining money in Liu Yingchun's hands.

Looking at nearly four hundred coins, Liu Yingchun was startled: "Xue Lang, don't follow other people's advice!"

Xue Li nodded and said: "Don't worry, lady, this is the money I paid in advance. With my two hands, I can conquer the whole world!"

……

Li Jiancheng is a good emperor, he is generous not only to his courtiers, but also to hundreds of millions of people.

In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, that is, the sixth year of Li Jiancheng's ascension to the throne, Li Jiancheng signed with the six prime ministers of the political affairs hall under his door, and issued Li Jiancheng's favor.

"The emperor's edict said: I will inherit the great cause, burn the salary up to the Dan, dare not slack off, the officials govern the people are difficult, I have heard that the ancient sage kings ruled the world, the people did not add taxes, and the sea is full of abundance. Although I am not sensitive, I also I yearn for it. It is ordered that from now on, there will be a Tang Dynasty, and there will never be any Fu!"

As soon as this imperial decree came out, all the powerful families in the world were dumbfounded.

In the Song and Tang dynasties, whether it was Confucianism or gentry, they still wanted some face.At least they won't be as lowly as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they can still distinguish between good and bad.There are even many scholars whose minds are full of ideals and thoughts of enlightened emperors, and they are so moved.

Never add a gift!
What a benevolent government!

Who mentioned the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period?

This is the real benevolent king!
It has to be said that Kang Mazi's trick is still very capable of bluffing people, including the later Jin Daxia and countless mite remnants, but they all think it is Kang Mazi's benevolent government.

However, this is simply a nonsense false proposition.Because in China, taxes and taxes.Always separate.Taxes are used for national defense expenditures, government expenditures, and various local affairs and channel digging and repairs, etc.And Fu.It is used to build palace temples for the emperor, eat, drink and have fun.To put it bluntly, taxes go into the national treasury, but taxes are the emperor's internal funds, which do not go to the national treasury.

Naturally, Li Jiancheng does not need to increase taxes. The Royal Commercial Association created by Chen Ying has 3000% of Li Jiancheng's shares. Similarly, Duobaoshan Copper Mine in Anxi now has [-]% of Li Jiancheng's shares. Duobaoshan is the name Chen Ying chose.The mining work of Duobaoshan is the top priority. Li Jiancheng sent more than [-] craftsmen, plus Donggong Si led a total of [-] troops to Duobaoshan. It is expected that the first batch of copper output will be obtained in the fifth year of Kaiyuan.

However, in Taolin County, Hongnong County, there is the gold capital of China. This gold mine has been secretly mined for six years, and the copper stored is more than 2000 million catties.

The copper ingots with constant aid were sent to Chang'an, and sent to the internal servants to start casting Kaiyuan Tongbao with all their strength.

Because 2000 million catties of copper can cast nearly 300 million guan copper coins, as long as 300 million guan copper coins are put into the market, it will obviously cause a new round of inflation in Datang.

The money was not distributed free of charge, but for the transformation of Datang's army.

In fact, whether it is the government military system in the Tang Dynasty or the Weisuo system in the Ming Dynasty, it is very wrong to tie the army to the land. How can a semi-professional army take on the security responsibility of the Tang Dynasty's national defense? ?
Although Datang established a total of 360 seven Zhechong mansions, the number of these troops can reach more than 55 horses, but these troops, except for the Anxi Army, Anton Army, and the Twelve Guards Army, only have 37 horses, which are professional transforming the army.The professional army accounted for only one-third of Datang's total army.

Now Datang’s professional military construction has been lagging behind. It’s not that Li Jiancheng doesn’t want to build it. The key is that he has no money. The court has no money. How to pay the army?How to feed such a Datang army with nearly a million troops?

Although the army built on a half-time basis can save military expenses, it can also reduce the financial pressure on the court.The key is a half-time army, and it is easy to develop farmers.For example, the army in the Cao Wei era could hang and beat Wuheng, Xiongnu, and Qiang people at the beginning of the founding of the country, but in the later period, they became farmers with weapons.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty is the same.There are literally millions of troops in the sky, but in the end they didn't even hold the capital.

In the semi-professional army, the degradation of combat effectiveness is only one reason.Another reason is that the army indoctrinated by small farmers can easily lose its wolf nature.

Li Jiancheng originally didn't take it seriously in advance, but now that Li Shimin is an absolute threat, he must treat this issue with caution.

After having the money, Li Jiancheng put the professionalization of the army on the agenda without hesitation.

Freeing the army from the land was Li Jiancheng's first step.

From today onwards, although the government soldiers are still in Zhechong Prefecture as a unit and stationed in various places, they still enjoy the right of tax exemption for their families, and they themselves receive a salary of seven hundred and two hundred yuan a year.

ps: I recommend a good-looking fantasy novel "The Romance of the Ancient Heaven". The protagonist was impulsive in the early stage, his dantian was abolished, and he modified the special skills that don't use the dantian. Heavy, it’s pretty exciting!
