Chapter 847 Chapter 866: Yuan Tiangang governs the country

Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Hao coldly, and said coldly: "If I can't do it, what can you do?"

Li Hao raised his head slightly, and proudly said: "If you can't restore Tang Dynasty to prosperity within three years, I will raise the flag of righteousness and send troops to fight for it."

"It's just you? It's just a defeat!" Yuan Tiangang's tone was full of disdain.

Li Hao sneered: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, haven't you been defeated by me several times?"

Yuan Tiangang's expression was displeased when he heard the words, he shook his right hand, and a sword slipped out of his sleeve and fell into his palm.

Seeing this, Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "Why, you want to kill me? In terms of martial arts, I'm afraid you may not be my opponent now. Don't make mistakes. This place is so far away from your army. Even Gai can't beat you, if I accidentally kill you, you'll be doomed."

Yuan Tiangang's face was uncertain, he was hesitating, Li Hao was actually a little flustered in his heart, both of them are the world's top masters, but now they are not sure about each other's martial arts, if they fight, it is really hard to predict who will win and who will lose .

"Let's go." Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly, "I want to take over Chang'an right now, and I don't have time to entangle with you. In less than three years, I will go and seek to destroy you!"

"You take care of yourself!" Li Hao said coldly, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and walked back.

When they returned to the team, everyone wanted to ask what he said to Yuan Tiangang, but it was not convenient to ask, Li Hao said calmly: "Let's go, go to Liuqiu."

With an order, the army set off and headed south.

The fall of Chang'an had a great impact on the morale of the army. Many soldiers of Tiance Mansion and Qinghai Guard wept silently on horseback, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire army.

However, when they arrived at Quanzhou seaport, their gloom was swept away, and Li Hao's huge fleet came to pick them up. Looking around, they were all huge sea ships. Such a huge fleet, Shocked them.

Get on the boat, go to Liuqiu, land at Liuqiu harbor, and after setting up the army, Li Hao immediately called all the scientific researchers and craftsmen, and he handed them the blueprint of the mortar, and told them to stay away It's really not that difficult to make a mortar with their current technology, and the researchers and craftsmen immediately started to get busy.

Li Hao didn't intend to build the 1th cover, because he knew something about the [-]th cover. Although the [-]th cover is powerful, its firing speed is slow. The other side will inevitably fight with the bayonet. This is why, because the firing speed of the Sanba Dagai is slow, and it can only fire seven to eight shots per minute on average. With such a slow firing speed, if the enemy charges, it is easy to get close , After getting close, it is the life to be slaughtered, so if one side uses a bayonet, the other side will inevitably use a bayonet, but the side that takes the initiative to charge must bear three to four more shots when charging.

And Li Hao's army is all heavy cavalry, no one has a big iron shield, and there is no pressure to block bullets. Such cavalry can quickly rush in front of the enemy, and they are not as good as being close by them. The fire stick is easy to use, so he is not afraid of any big guns at all, what he is afraid of is the cannon.

He wanted to make a submachine gun or something, but the process was too complicated, and he didn't know how the submachine gun fired in bursts, so he had to give up.

Considering that if you attack Yuan Tiangang by yourself in three years, you will have to attack Chang'an City. Siege is the most difficult battle. If so, then build a large number of artillery, whether it is mortar or cannon, as much as possible, money or something, it doesn't matter , Not short of money, besides, as the monopoly of Datang Iron and Steel Industry, the cost of making guns is not too high.

Li Hao brought back 13 troops, [-] Xuanjia Army, [-] Qinghai Guards, and [-] Tiance Guards. Fortunately, these three armies were all trained according to his training mode. Although there are differences in strength and weakness, the foundation is quite high. Now, Li Hao has integrated them all together, called the Xuanjia Army, and Fan Lihua conducts systematic training, no matter it is sea battles or land battles, he must master them all.

Next, he went to Qiongnan to establish his own country. Since he wants to establish a country, of course there must be a king. The king is Li Hong, and the country name is "Southern Tang". At the same time, he publicized Yuan Tiangang's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty in Qiongnan and Liuqiu. The people in Qiongnan were very angry and joined the army enthusiastically. Wan Dajun, Li Hao named this new army "Rejuvenation Army", and Li Guocheng was in charge of the drill. This guy is very good at training soldiers now.

It took Li Hao four months to prepare all of this. Qiongnan was governed by Li Hong and Cui Peng, while Liuqiu was governed by Li Hao. Li Hao's power has entered a state of steady development.

On the eighth day of August, a group of people came to Liuqiu Island. Xue Rengui brought his family over. Looking at Xue Dingshan who had grown into a young man, Li Hao suddenly became a little flustered. After all, Fan Lihua was Xue Dingshan's wife in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. But he also knew that he was worrying unfoundedly, it was just a novel, besides, even if it was history, history had already been changed by him, so why should he be afraid.

On August [-]th, Wang Yuantai and Qin Wei also came. These two were working in Jiangnan, and their official positions were already very high, but they left quietly and came to join Li Hao.

Almost all relatives and friends came to join Li Hao, which was a good thing. We all had a happy Mid-Autumn Festival together on Liuqiu.

In the city of Chang'an, Yuan Tiangang supported Li Ke's grandson Li Shuang to ascend the throne. Li Shuang was only a five-year-old boy who knew what to do. He doesn't like to listen to the advice of ministers, of course he doesn't listen, he is a future man, he has his own plan and blueprint for governing the country in his heart, how can he listen to the corrupt words of these ministers, as long as these ministers follow his own Just order it to be carried out.

Yuan Tiangang forcibly confiscated all the land in the country and brought it back to the state, and then implemented the national policy - public ownership, just like when the country was founded in the future world. Why should their property be confiscated? This is their property. Yuan Tiangang can only enforce it, and even used the army. The country has been cleaned up for half a year. Yuan Tiangang is still very tolerant and rebellious towards the people. People, just arrest them and lock them up for a period of time, just intimidate them. As for those powerful families who resist, they will all be ransacked and arrested. The end will be beheaded or exiled. The little gentry in the city did not resist. Although they can still live well, they have nothing.

The public ownership system was implemented in the Tang Dynasty. The people in the Tang Dynasty were rich, and their family conditions were pretty good, but they had to live in a collective life. The people in the Tang Dynasty were very uncomfortable and had great resentment. Have to hold back.

The Tang Dynasty under the control of Yuan Tiangang was completely chaotic in the first year, which was caused by the forced implementation of this national policy. Slowly, everyone began to adapt, and finally settled down. The economic strength of the entire country is stronger than before. The difference is a lot. Obviously there are a lot more fields than before (the fields of the powerful and noble families have been handed over), but the grain output in the fields is not as high as before. The national grain output is only [-]% of the previous one, which makes Yuan Tiangang quite depressed.

Next, Yuan Tiangang implemented the national policy-recruitment system.

This is the reform of the military system, changing the government military system to the recruitment system. The advantage of the recruitment system is that the imperial court can firmly control the army, and the command and dispatch are more convenient and fast, but the disadvantage is that it requires a lot of money to raise troops.

After changing the military system, Yuan Tiangang began to recruit 30 troops, and at the same time, he wanted to build warships and guns.

Yuan Tiangang also attached great importance to education, and implemented the national policy-compulsory education system. He spent huge sums of money to build schools nationwide and spread science widely, because he also knew the importance of science. All students, regardless of gender, go to school for free. The salary of teachers is paid by the state. This is a national policy. This item alone is a huge expense. There are so many schools built in the country, and the total number of teachers in the country is 100. Then it is 200 million guan a year. Besides, the teachers with the lowest positions are ten guan, and those with middle and senior positions have higher salaries. Therefore, in terms of education alone, the national treasury has to withdraw 300 million guan every year. The annual tax revenue is just over [-] million.

When those noble families were wiped out, the treasury contained gold and silver, and the household record was 4800 million guan, but now, 1800 million guan were spent on building guns and warships, and 30 new troops were added, plus Yuan Tiangang brought back Those barbarian soldiers spent 500 million guan a year on raising soldiers, 1300 million guan on building schools, plus teachers and other expenses, and there were only 300 million guan left in the treasury.

When the Ministry of Household Affairs reported this financial result to Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang was stunned. He clearly remembered that when he wiped out those powerful families, he got countless money, nearly 5000 million yuan. With so little left, he asked to check the accounts, and after checking, he himself was frightened by his ability to spend money, and he spent so much money before he knew it.

However, the recruitment system and the compulsory education system have been implemented as national policies and cannot be changed. The recruitment system and the compulsory education system cost about 700 million yuan a year, but the money in the national treasury is obviously not enough.

Yuan Tiangang suddenly felt a headache, he regretted it, he shouldn't have a fever in his head, he was building ships and guns all at once, and he recruited so many soldiers all at once.

However, now that things have happened, he can only bite the bullet and go on. Money must be resolved. In this case, there are only two ways, one is to fight, and the other is to increase taxes. Yuan Tiangang decided to use both methods.
