Datang first village

"Long Shi has worked hard!" Li Yuanxing praised.

Li Liyuan followed Li Yuanxing obediently, and never said a word from the moment he entered the workshop to when he came out.

After leaving the workshop, Li Yuanxing said to Cui Dunli: "Arrange the most capable guards to guard, and then send a request to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites. This king asks for an additional [-] guards. It is impossible for this king to let Tiance four The guards are responsible for guarding the gate, so the thousand guards will be selected from the twelve Chang'an guards!"

"Your Highness, the Holy One sent someone to hint that His Highness can approach the Twelve Guards temporarily."

"Hmph!" Li Yuanxing snorted coldly.

Cui Dunli also laughed. This in itself is something that does not get rewarded for its efforts.

"Well, it's actually not easy for Brother Huang. However, this king asked Brother Yao to live in Qinwangzhuang temporarily." Li Yuanxing said with a smile and Cui Dunli.

Cui Dunli didn't understand at first, but after all, he had been the governor of Qin Wangfu for some time, and he knew Li Yuanxing well.After much deliberation, there is only one result: "Your Highness, there will be no wars this year and next. Your Highness wants to move all the important people from the Ministry of War to Qinwangzhuang, leaving only some daily officials in the Ministry of War!"

"Yes!" Li Yuanxing gave a very positive answer.

"Your Majesty, I'll arrange it now, but I hope His Highness has an idea about the military salary. Since the opening of the mansion, the expenditure of King Qin's Mansion has been increasing. The expenditure of Tiance's four guards is already quite large. The original military salary has been increased by [-]%, plus [-] guards, that is double the expenditure!"

After Cui Dunli raised the question, he left immediately.

Only then did Li Yuanxing say to Li Liyuan: "Don't come to the mint easily again. If you want to come, you need to give the official document to the guard of the mint one day in advance, and this king is the same. I don't need to talk about the pros and cons of it. Here in the future... ..." Li Yuanxing did not continue this time.

Li Liyuan understood.

"Li Yuan understands, even the Holy Majesty will pay attention in the future, so we must be more careful."

Li Yuanxing nodded, as he agreed with Li Liyuan's statement. Li Yuanxing knew very well that within three years, his Qin King's money would replace Datang's original miscellaneous money and become the mainstream coin of Datang.

Therefore, Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty will not ignore it, and it is impossible for the household department of the Tang Dynasty not to pay attention.

Even when necessary, Li Yuanxing would hand over the mint to the Tang court instead of keeping it in his own hands.

The next day, before Li Jing and others left Chang'an, Li Yuanxing blocked the frame of Li Jing and others at the gate of Chang'an.

"Wu Lang is probably premeditated!" Li Jing greeted him with a smile.

Li Yuanxing nodded, let Li Jing get into his car first, and then walked towards Hou Junji.

"Your Highness!" Hou Junji saluted.

"Do you remember what this king said about Fenglin Huo?" Li Yuanxing asked Hou Junji softly.

Hou Junji nodded lightly: "The general has already realized something. If you want to go further, you need to calm yourself down first, observe yourself, and observe everything around you. In terms of the general's current situation, cultivating the mind , and taking a step forward in the art of war is a good strategy for going further!"

"The king is waiting for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Hou Junji said thank you, but there are many elements in it.

There are thanks for Li Yuanxing's serious punishment for embezzling Li Yuanxing last time, and thanks for letting me stay in Chang'an to train mid-level officers away from the court, and thanks for letting me understand this time, and Li Yuanxing's thanks for his concern today .

Back on the carriage, Li Yuanxing waved his hand with a smile: "Left leading guard!"

On the carriage, Li Yuanxing said to Li Jing: "Brother Yao, I originally wanted to start with the left and right Qianniu guards and the left and right prison gate guards. But the four guards are the royal brother's guards and the palace guards. They are too proud to accept the title of the king. I might not be convinced by this king's way of recruiting soldiers, so I had to start with the twelve guards."

"Does Your Highness want to reform the military system?"

"Imitate Qin's twentieth rank. Brother Yao is considering this, to give sergeants a chance to be promoted. However, after reaching the rank of captain, there is one thing that must be achieved, and that is literacy. The requirement for literacy is to be able to read and write. To understand military orders, a lieutenant at the seventh rank must be able to understand the art of war, otherwise he will never be able to get promoted again!"

Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Li Jing nodded thoughtfully.

I have to say that what Li Yuanxing said makes sense.

In the past, books were an absolute luxury, but since the appearance of Li Yuanxing's divine seal technique, books have gradually become an item that can be consumed by the public, and many poor families don't need to borrow books everywhere and buy them by themselves. Go copy again.You must know that many typos will be added for various reasons when copying for the first time.

The more times of copying, the naturally the taste of the book will change.

With the improvement of printing technology, there are really more and more literate people in Datang.

Li Yuanxing entered the barracks of the left leading army guard, and said to the general in charge: "All the military officers of the eighth rank and the ninth rank gather in the field, and the soldiers are allowed to watch, and then they are ordered to prepare paper and pens. Finally, let someone send a message to the sergeants. Everyone prepares their own bags and pays today."

"Yes, everything will be done according to His Highness's orders!"

Only then did Li Jing walk side by side with Li Yuanxing: "Wulang needs to give the sergeants more opportunities."

"Opportunities can be had, but for those who waste their opportunities, what do senior brothers think?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically.

Li Jing pointed to the school captains who were running towards the school grounds, and said softly: "I thought you shouldn't give up one person easily, and now those who can stay in the twelve guards as standing soldiers are soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. I can’t farm, so even if I go to be a cook, I can’t retire.”

"How about raising pigs?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Digging the river is more difficult, of course we can also clean up the horse manure!" Li Jing also echoed.

Li Yuanxing laughed. In fact, he understood that Li Jing would not let these outstanding veterans and low-level officers leave the army, but Li Jing would have a way to train them.

Li Jing asked again at this time: "What did Wu Lang think of the game that day?"

"Brother Huang said, don't peep!" Li Yuanxing laughed, and when he was about to avoid this topic, he found dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him. The competition between Li Jing and Hou Junji that day was very secret, everyone just knew As a result, Hou Junji lost.

But how miserable was the loss, or Li Jing narrowly won, or what tricks and details were involved.

Li Yuanxing was a little embarrassed, and after laughing dryly, he walked to the military parade on the school grounds.All the generals hurriedly followed, and finally only Li Jing stood beside Li Yuanxing.Li Yuanxing winked at Lu Maofeng, and then Lu Maofeng ran up with a hand-held loudspeaker.

"Everyone, pay today. But this king also has one thing, no matter whether you are dissatisfied or unwilling. But this king has already made a decision, so you can only obey."

His Royal Highness Qin Wang actually said such blunt words, the junior officers were a little nervous.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand, and a civil servant came out, holding a piece of paper and reading aloud.

"The order of King Qin, the order of General Tiance, and the order of the Ministry of War!" The three consecutive words of order represent the authority of this document. Those who are unqualified will be demoted, and the first batch of assessments will be the eighth-rank and ninth-rank military positions, which are divided into martial arts examinations and literary examinations."

Martial arts test, literary test!

Just hearing about the martial arts exam, these veterans are not very afraid, but for the literary exam, few of these guys can read.

"The martial arts test is divided into three items. The first is personal ability, with the test questions of running [-]-step obstacles and ten-mile cross-country!"

All the officers laughed when they heard this test question, it was too simple.

"The second part of the martial arts test, small-unit combat, must memorize at least six types of formations and understand their changes, as well as display them with stones."

Even simpler, squad formations are a part of life for these junior officers, and they practice it all day long.

"The third item in the martial arts test is a combination of civil and military tests, and it's about learning pictures!"

It is a bit difficult to understand the map, but the military officers are not nervous. They still read the map often, but some people will go the wrong way.For example, throwing it into a mountain without road signs, and being able to walk out within the specified time, this is Datang's map recognition.Maps are a dual combination of practice.

"The literary test is only one, write down the military regulations and the names of your subordinates, and write a letter home for the sergeant!"

Literary examination, in the eyes of modern people, this seems to be the simplest and least stressful item, but in the Tang Dynasty, there was an uproar after the silence. If it weren't for Li Yuanxing and Li Jing standing here, I am afraid that someone would be in chaos called.

Li Yuanxing took a step forward: "Above seventh-rank generals, they have to take more than these tests. They also need to test military books and art of war. If they go up to fourth-rank military officers, they will take the examination of debate, and even actual combat performances."

"Your Highness, a certain voluntarily was beaten. I heard that Your Highness's military chess is a very clever art of war show." A low-level officer stood up.

"En!" Li Yuanxing rubbed his chin, thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, it's a kind of combat practice, and it's still in the situation of seeing both the enemy and us, so the fight is the mind, and the fight is the conspiracy. The Ministry of War There are a few generals who exhausted a lot of mental energy after a game of military chess, or they were very tired!"

The school lieutenant had nothing to say, and threw himself directly on the ground.

Sima in the army chanted loudly, rushed to the Shangguan, and then slapped the board five times.

"You are very good. Although my king's actions are a bit domineering, you will know the benefits of literacy in the future. In other words, you don't want a civil servant who is literate but not military to manage you."

Just as Li Yuanxing finished speaking, another officer jumped out: "I would like to be beaten ten times, and I want to know about the rumored scene!"

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "I won't punish you this time, because you are the first to be assessed. This king has set a rule. If you pass the exam well, you will be promoted. If you fail the exam, I will give you a chance. You can make up the part of the essay test within one month, and those who are outstanding will also be rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

All the officers knew in their hearts that they could not escape the literary examination.Because it was ordered by His Royal Highness King Qin.

"However, this king gave you a special gift. About that competition, the three of us each say something, and no further questions are allowed!" (To be continued.)
