Capital Datang

Hearing Wu Meiniang's last words, Li Min's face darkened, and he frowned and began to think.

What Wu Meiniang said in her words was actually that half a month ago, civil and military officials headed by Wang An submitted a memorial to Li Yin, which contained a proposal to establish a country and proclaim itself emperor.

Speaking of the establishment of the country, in fact, as early as a few years ago, among the more anxious generals, such as Lu Qing, Su Dingfang and others, they wrote several times, expressing their hope that Li Yin would establish the country, but at the time considering the Tang's attitude, so Li Yin suppressed this matter, and civil servants like Wang An and Lu Hong also knew that the time to establish a country was not yet ripe, and Taiwan still needed the support of Datang in all aspects.

However, after so many years of development, the power in Li Yin's hands has increased greatly. Not only has he mastered a large amount of land, but he has also migrated a large number of people from the Tang Dynasty. Now the number of Han people in Li Yin's hands has reached 700 million, which has reached One-third of the number of Han people in the Tang Dynasty, if you add the Sanhan, Japanese, and Nanyang natives, the total population is almost the same as that of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, because Li Min vigorously developed industry and commerce, agriculture is mainly a large plantation economy, which liberates a large number of people from the land, and indirectly promotes the development of industry and commerce. The Guanzhong area of ​​the Tang Dynasty became the largest commercial and prosperous area in the world.Capital Datang 642

It is precisely because of the development of industry and commerce that Li Yin's annual tax revenue has risen in a straight line. Even two years ago, Li Yin's annual treasury revenue had surpassed that of Datang, which allowed Li Yin to be able to do well in both administration and military affairs. By flexing his muscles, his rule over various places has become more solid, and at the same time, he has attracted many talents from the Tang Dynasty to work under his command.

With economic and administrative support, Li Yin's military power has also been greatly enhanced, because the land he occupies is all overseas.Therefore, the military power in Li Yin's hands is dominated by the navy, and the nature of the army is closer to the marine corps of later generations.

Among them, the navy is the core army, recruiting only Han people from top to bottom. Now the total force has reached 20, with more than 700 main warships and thousands of other small and medium-sized warships. They are divided into five fleets stationed in the east, south, west, north and middle. everywhere.

Among them, the Eastern Fleet was established the latest and is now stationed in the eastern Hawaiian Islands. Its main task is to protect the safety of the American routes.At the same time, it is also the main fleet of Li Yin's invasion of America.The Western Fleet was stationed on Ceylon Island. Apart from helping Li Zhen and Li Yun, it also protected the safety of the route from Africa to Malacca.The Southern Fleet is the strongest, stationed in Luzon, Java, Australia and other places. Li Yin is preparing to split this fleet into two fleets.The main force of the Northern Fleet is stationed in the Nu Port of Waguo, and is responsible for the safety of the waters of Samhan, Waguo, and Liuqiu.

In addition, there is the Central Fleet responsible for Taiwan's security, but the strength of this fleet is very weak, and there are few main warships in the fleet. Most of them are small and medium-sized ships.

In addition to the navy, Li Yin also holds an army of 30 in his hands.Among them, the core of this army is a 20 Han army, and half of them are firearms troops. As for the remaining [-] people, it is a foreign army composed of grassland people, Japanese, and Sanhan people.

Although there are many alien troops.But usually it is only used for auxiliary purposes. For example, when a new place is occupied, Li Yin will send these foreign troops to manage public security and suppress rebellion.The real main force on the battlefield is still the Han army. After all, he does not want to follow the old path of the Roman Empire.As a result, the Romans lost their military power, and the army was full of barbarians. In the end, they were backlashed by these barbarian troops, and most of the country was lost.

It is precisely because of such strong economic and military strength that Wang An, Lu Hong and others who originally disagreed with establishing a country and proclaiming themselves emperors have changed their views now. After all, from all aspects, Li Yin is already full-fledged. It's time to establish a country, and this is the general trend, and even Li Yin can't change it.

However, Li Yin still had concerns about the establishment of the country, so after Wang An and the others brought it up, he did not give them an answer for the time being in the name of needing careful consideration, but half a month later, Li Yin Still unable to make up their minds, Wang An and the others were very anxious, so they reminded him through Wu Meiniang.

"Meiniang, what do you think I should do about this?" Li Min pondered for a while, and finally looked up at Wu Meiniang, and asked with a serious face. Establishing a country and proclaiming the emperor is not only a state affair, but also his family affairs. After all, now It was still the age of the world, so he wanted to hear Wu Meiniang's opinion.

After Wu Meiniang heard this, she walked up to Li Min gently, and then said softly: "From my standpoint, I naturally hope that my husband will become emperor, but I also know that this matter makes you very difficult, so Concubine is in this matter, everything is under the arrangement of Husband, but Husband, you should also consider the feelings of Wang An's civil and military officials."

Li Yin sighed after hearing this. Although Wu Meiniang said to let herself be the master, in her heart, she still hopes to let herself be enthroned. After all, Wu Meiniang is different from Wenxin and others. Li Yin can go one step further, and she can have a higher status by then.

Thinking of this, Li Yin was also very helpless. Fortunately, he also knew that although Wu Meiniang persuaded him to ascend the throne, although he had some ideas for himself, it was mainly for his own sake. After all, for Li Yin now, the advantages of becoming the throne far outweigh the disadvantages.

Although he knew that Wu Meiniang was kind, Li Yin still couldn't make up his mind, so in the end he could only say that he had to think about it again, and Wu Meiniang had no choice but to back out.

But before Li Yin calmed down, the door of the study opened again, and then Jin Shengman came in with a tray with a pot of tea on it. This is Li Yin's habit. He likes to drink a few cups after lunch. Wen'er used to be in charge of tea, but since Wen'er had a daughter, Jin Shengman took over the delivery of tea.

Since Jin Shengman served as Li Yin's secretary, she quickly gained Li Yin's approval by virtue of her administrative skills, and the relationship between the two gradually eased. They even had a son, Li Han, but because Jin Shengman Shengman is usually very busy, so Li Han is usually accompanied by Wen'er and Hua'er.

"Your Highness, please drink tea!" Jin Shengman poured out a cup of tea with a smile, then put it in front of Li Yin and said softly, when Li Yin took it, she walked behind Li Yin and gently squeezed his shoulders , This made Li Yin feel relaxed all over his body. After taking a sip of tea, he closed his eyes and leaned his head on Jin Shengman's chest at the same time, which made the other party's eyes turn red, but he didn't dodge.

"Shengman, what do you think of Wang Fu's proposal half a month ago?" After a while, Li Yin suddenly asked as if he was about to fall asleep.

Jin Shengman, who was pinching Li Yin's shoulders, was taken aback for a moment. Although she helped Li Yin with some government affairs, it was not her turn to speak about major issues, so naturally she did not expect that Li Yin would ask himself such an important question. For a while, I didn’t know how to answer the question?Capital Datang 642

However, Jin Shengman is the queen after all, and she quickly realized that she thought for a while and replied: "My husband has some concerns in his heart, so he definitely doesn't want to become emperor now, but this is the trend of the times, so I will take it as a matter of fact." From my own point of view, Wang Fu and others should invite me at the same time, after all, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for my husband."

Jin Shengman's answer did not exceed Li Yin's expectations, because excluding the influence of other factors, ascension to the throne was indeed his best choice.

Thinking of this, Li Yin sighed tiredly, then waved Jin Shengman to step back.After sitting in the study for a long time, he suddenly stood up and left the study, then walked towards the backyard.

Today is ten days, so Xijun and Mengxue are both in the palace. When Li Min walked to the garden of the inner house, he happened to see Xijun and Mengxue sitting and chatting together, with Feng Shuyu sitting beside him, so he didn't know they were there Talking about something, from time to time, they laughed like silver bells.

Speaking of which, Xijun is now in charge of the financial power of the palace, and all the industries and businesses under Li Yin's name are under her jurisdiction, but since she got ugly, she has put half of her heart on her children, and usually cares about financial matters. Most of them let the people below do it, especially after having Feng Shuyu, this smart woman grew up quickly, and now she has taken over most of Xijun's work, and Xijun is even planning to have a child.

As for Mengxue, she is the dean of Taiwan Medical College, which is also her favorite job, and because she is a woman, there are more women than men in Taiwan's medical schools, and even now in Taiwan's medical field, women The number of doctors is increasing, and I believe that it won't be long before half the sky will be taken away by women in the medical industry.

Looking at Xijun and Mengxue who were talking and laughing, Li Yin really wanted to ask them their opinions on his ascension to the throne, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the two of them have never cared much about political affairs. Ask, I'm afraid they won't give any good advice, and it will add a little bit of trouble to them.

Thinking of this, Li Yin shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Zhong Xin lived in the inner house.Looking at the weather, it is estimated that Wen Xin should have woken up from her afternoon nap.Although Wen Xin didn't care much about political affairs, she was his wife after all, and if he ascended the throne, Wen Xin would be his queen, so Li Yin wanted to hear Wen Xin's opinion on this matter.

When Li Yin walked to the gate of Wenxin courtyard, he heard the noise of several children playing inside. When he entered the courtyard, he found that the eldest sister, Chouchou, was playing games with Li Qi, Li Mian and other younger siblings. , while in front of the main hall, Wen Xin was lying on a recliner, stroking her belly while looking at a few lively children, her face exuded a kind of maternal love, which made people feel the love in their hearts at the first sight. It was so peaceful that even Li Yin's chaotic thoughts calmed down all of a sudden.
