Chapter 147 Building a Military Academy

If those officials killed, they would be killed, and they would also cause trouble with the aristocratic family. In this case, it is better to send them all to Liuqiu Island. In Li Yin's words, it should be called waste utilization.It is estimated that in the eyes of those officials, this kind of punishment is even more cruel than beheading. After all, in the eyes of most people, Liuqiu Island, which is across the sea from Lingnan, is naturally a wild place full of miasma. It would be better to be slashed with a knife in Chang'an than to escape from death.

While the father and son were talking and laughing, they had already decided the lives and deaths of more than a dozen people, fully reflecting the terrifying "nature" of power, but this is also the allure of power, because every ambitious person, I am not willing to let others decide my life and death, so I will climb up desperately, so that one day, I will hold life and death in my own hands.

After dealing with these people, Li Min asked about the promotion progress of various new policies, and learned from Li Shimin that among the few new policies he offered, only the promotion of Champa rice was implemented very smoothly. A lot of trial sites have been set up, and the rice has already been planted. I heard that it is growing well. It is indeed faster than the original rice seeds, and it is also very drought-tolerant. As long as the yield is not too low, large-scale promotion will definitely not a problem.

As for the other methods of land replacement and rough planting, various problems were encountered during the promotion process, such as being obstructed by those officials who were dealt with, and not being accepted by the majority of farmers, etc. However, these problems were already anticipated by the imperial court before the promotion of the New Deal. I have arrived, so I am not discouraged, and have been increasing the intensity of publicity and promotion, including those who signed up for land replacement.There are more than 10 households, and there are nearly [-] people in total. Most of these people go for the ten times the fertile land.

Compared with the voluntary "nature" of land replacement, the rough planting method is very coercive, but this kind of coercion is not imposed by someone or the court, but is compelled by a general trend.As more and more farmers went out to work, and some poor farmers were attracted to Liaodong and Goguryeo by the new policy of land replacement.As a result, some large households have no one to lease their land. In this case, if they don't want the land to be barren.We had to adopt the rough planting method promoted by the imperial court, so the promotion of the method of karma and harmony is much simpler than land replacement.Capital Datang 147

After Li Yin had a general understanding of the implementation of several new policies in the Tang Dynasty, he finally felt relieved.Although there were various problems, overall, it was relatively smooth. Of the four strategies that I offered at the beginning, only the one that caught slaves has not yet been implemented, but this is not just a matter of the court. He and the Cheng family and other big slave traders are the main executors of this strategy. It seems that we have to discuss it with Cheng Yaojin and other old guys when we have time.

Now that the matter of the New Deal is over, Li Yin finally has time to bring up the matter of the General Academy.Li Shimin slapped his head after hearing this.After returning to Chang'an, he was haunted by the incidents of Li Chengqian and Li Tai's two sons, and then he was troubled by the incidents of West Turkic and Gaochang. He even left such important matters as the military academy behind him. remind.He really doesn't know when he will remember?

"The military academy is related to the inheritance of my country and society in the Tang Dynasty. I almost forgot about it as a father. It seems that I am really old!" Li Shimin rubbed his swollen temples and sighed with a wry smile.

"Father is serious, you are in your prime, how can you talk about old characters?" Li Yin hurriedly comforted him. "Besides, there were too many things a while ago, coupled with the empty treasury, it is really not a good time to open a military academy."

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, patted Li Min on the shoulder and said: "Liulang's words are correct. If the military academy does not run, it will be fine. Once it is done, it must be done in a good manner. In this way, it must cost a lot. With so much income, plus there are no major events during this period, it is a good time to start a military academy!"

Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Min also heaved a sigh of relief.However, Li Shimin was obviously impatient, after walking around the hall twice, he immediately sent someone to call Li Jing and Li Xiaogong over.The two of them are rare handsome talents, but because of their great contributions, they were relieved of their military power to avoid suspicion. It would be a pity to stay at home all day, and the military academy is a good place for the two of them to use their spare heat.

When Li Jing and Li Xiaogong came in a hurry, before they could catch their breath, Li Shimin explained to them the idea of ​​the general academy impatiently.Li Xiaogong was not surprised when he heard this, because his son Li Yong had already told him about the military academy, so he was mentally prepared for it, and he felt that he was going to be useless after staying at home for so many years. The director of the exhibition is exactly what he wanted, so he immediately praised him after hearing it, and at the same time expressed his full support and willingness to enter the military academy and pass on what he has learned.

Compared to Li Xiaogong who had prepared earlier, Li Jing heard about the military academy for the first time, so after listening to it, he carefully weighed it in his heart, considered the impact of the appearance of the military academy on various aspects, and after a while Only then did he let out a long breath, and said to Li Shimin with a firm face: "Your Majesty, the military academy is related to my inheritance of the Tang Dynasty for generations to come. Even if the veteran is in a daze, he still wants to run the military academy!"

"Okay!" Seeing the two veterans expressing their opinions, Li Shimin also jumped up excitedly, turned around the table and walked in front of the two, patted each other's shoulders vigorously with both hands, and said sincerely: "Brother Yao, Tang Brother, the two of you fought bloody enemies on the battlefield back then, and helped me take down the Great Tang. Today, I also have full authority over the matter of the General Academy. I believe that with the joint efforts of the two of you, we will surely be able to lay the groundwork for our great defense in one fell swoop. Tang Jiangshan's eternal foundation!"

"I will do my best!" The two gray-haired old men were also very moved, and they clasped their fists together and saluted.

Li Yin patiently waited for the three monarchs and ministers to finish their performances, and then Li Shimin finally got to the point, and began to discuss various details of the establishment of a military academy. Li Yin had already discussed this with Li Shimin when they were in Pyongyang, but Li Xiaogong and Li Jing both After a veteran who had spent half his life in Shuicheng heard about it, he made a lot of suggestions of his own to complete the details of the entire military academy.

The two big men in the military agreed to the school's plan, and the details have been discussed. The next thing is much simpler. Li Shimin made an order on the spot, appointing Li Xiaogong and Li Jing as the vice principals of the military academy, and himself as the vice principal of the military academy. The principal of the Datang Military Academy, as for Li Yin, who proposed the idea of ​​the military academy, was only temporarily appointed as the supervisor of the military academy. In addition to being responsible for the construction of the military academy site, he also had to take orders from two vice-principals. He was responsible for solving it. To put it bluntly, he was an errand and coolie.

Li Yin naturally dare not have any dissatisfaction with this, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing are both elders, and they are both so old, of course the hard work is all for him, a young man, besides, he is not stupid, if there is something It is up to him to tell him what to do, and then he will leave it to others to do it. The so-called those who work hard to rule others, he has always regarded this sentence as his own code of conduct.

After being appointed, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing held a small meeting with Li Yin. The three temporarily assigned their respective tasks. Among them, Li Xiaogong was in charge of contacting the veterans who had retired from the army and persuading them to teach in military academies. The most important task, the quality of teaching in the military academy in the future will all depend on those veterans.

As for Li Jing, he was in charge of the source of students. Naturally, the students in military academies could not be directly recruited from the private sector like those academies.But to be selected from the army.Li Yin and Li Shimin had already discussed this issue when they were in Pyongyang. The students of the military academy were selected first from the soldiers who made meritorious service on the Goguryeo battlefield, and then from the army of the Tang Dynasty who performed well in normal times and had potential for development. Young soldiers were selected. The number of students in the first phase is initially set at around 2000.

Although Li Jing has retired, he still serves as Li Shimin's military adviser and has a good understanding of the affairs of the army, so it is appropriate for him to choose from the army.In addition to selecting students, Li Jing was also responsible for formulating the relevant disciplines and regulations of the military academy. Even the arrangement of the courses had to be roughly planned in advance. It was not an easy task to add all the tasks together.

As for Li Yin, he has more responsibilities. The most important thing is naturally the selection and construction of the military academy site. For example, some stubborn veterans are unwilling to go out. At this time, Li Yin will use his good popularity to start with the juniors in the opponent's family and help Li Xiaogong to be a lobbyist.

In addition, Li Yin is also involved in the military discipline and curriculum of the military academy that Li Jing is in charge of. Although he is a novice in the military, he often puts forward many constructive opinions based on the knowledge of later generations. , and Li Jing also valued him, so he strongly asked him to help him.In fact, this is exactly what Li Yin hoped, so despite the heavy burden on his body, he resolutely agreed.

After the meeting ended, Li Yin immediately went to find Yu Wenhu who had just returned from Dengzhou.After the Battle of Goguryeo, Yu Wenhu did not come back immediately, because the Thunderbolt Courtyard in Dengzhou had not been built for a long time, and there were still some problems in various aspects, so he had to stay there to deal with it.Capital Datang 147

In addition, because of Li Yong's going to the battlefield, his brother-in-law helped a lot, so he was afraid that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would blame him, so he hid in Dengzhou to avoid the limelight until Li Yong returned to Chang'an, knowing that Li Xiaogong was not Angry because of this, he rushed back from Dengzhou in a hurry, but Li Xiaogong, the father-in-law, was not angry, but the mother-in-law, Princess Hejian, was not so magnanimous.

Li Yin was greatly relieved when he heard the news. If it weren't for Yu Wenhu, Li Yong would not have gone to the battlefield, and he would not have been severely criticized by Princess Hejian last time.

However, when Yu Wenhu heard Li Yin's request to build a military academy, he frowned, and then said something that made Li Yin dumbfounded. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
