Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Does Shimin look down on these soldiers?"

"Maybe on the surface I agree with it, but in my heart I still despise it."

After an unknown amount of time passed, Li Shimin still did not give an answer, but Shu An's voice sounded slowly, and the words were not rushed, as if they were just saying a fact.

Shu An couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional. Because of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, most of the soldiers participated in the training during the winter slack.

The soldiers who can keep training throughout the year are only a part. Of course, the treatment of these people will be much better, but that's all.

Moreover, the Fubing system seems to be recruiting, but in fact it is compulsory conscription, but there is no way to do it.

After years of wars, there are not many young and strong. If it is not compulsory, it is basically impossible to recruit soldiers. Of course, the reluctance to join the army has a lot to do with the treatment of the army.

This era is not as sympathetic as the later generations. You must know that if there are credits, most of them will be taken by those officers, and the remaining small part will be soldiers and others.

Li Shimin was not a very wealthy person before, so the reward is also conceivable.

Needless to say, if they were killed in battle, it would be needless to say, if they were defeated, they would be dead or even have no bones.

But this is not fixed, so even if Li Shimin shows how much he loves the soldiers, in Shu An's eyes, it is more like a slogan, and slogans cannot be eaten as food.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's expression became more cautious, and Li Xiuning's expression on the other side also showed a trace of thought.

In fact, in addition to having a lot of equality with her own women's army, even Li Xiuning couldn't help feeling that she couldn't treat those ordinary soldiers equally.

After thinking of this, Li Xiuning couldn't help sighing silently, maybe this is the gap between herself and the teacher.

Li Shimin also didn't feel much better, his heart was very restless, as if he had something like what Yafu said.

Shu An took a sip of tea, although it was summer, but he was past that young age, and he didn't like iced drinks.

After putting down the teacup in his hand, Shu An's voice continued to sound.

"How to stabilize a world, in my opinion, soldiers are also an indispensable part."

"Anywhere in the world can be poor, but only these soldiers cannot be poor."

"The threat of alien races requires soldiers, and the stability of the whole world requires soldiers."

"If you, Li Shimin, can gain the support of the entire army, then no matter what the civil strife is, you will always be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

"But what if the soldiers are renounced?"

Every word of Shu An seems to be a word of inner torture for this emperor.

Shu An didn't continue with the last words, but Li Shimin must be able to understand the consequences.

In fact, there are various methods of governing. What Shu An said was the way of establishing a country by force, which is also his idea.

Shu An didn't do it on a whim, it was an accident, but sooner or later he had to tell Li Shimin what he said.

A certain great man in later generations once said that military power should not be lost, and today he is also alerting Li Shimin.

In fact, his words not only had a lot of impact on Li Shimin, but also had a lot of impact on Li Xiuning.

But seeing what his teacher said made this second elder brother speechless, there were many ripples in his beautiful eyes.

If Shu An didn't bother to say this to Li Shimin before, it's about the same now.

After all, Li Shimin has some capital in his hands. At least the money in this period will have to wait until the fifth or sixth year of Zhenguan in history.

It can be said that this step saved Li Shimin three or four years, which naturally made Shu An have greater expectations for Li Shimin.

"Isn't Yafu afraid of mobilizing troops and mobilizing troops?"

After a long time, Li Shimin's expression became a little complicated, and in fact, since ancient times, if he focused on one side, it would easily cause a lot of trouble.

However, Yafu's words really made the emperor hesitate in his heart, because it seemed that what Yafu said was not wrong.

Even Li Shimin has a lot of emotions. If the soldiers in the whole world know that he is an emperor and think of him well, then he has nothing to be afraid of.

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, as if she felt that her teacher's words were not that simple, but she didn't have much clue for a while.

Faced with Li Shimin's question, Shu An couldn't help but smile slightly. Unlike other dynasties, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty was the most open dynasty.

Maybe it's because Li Shimin has Hu people's blood in his blood, so he has an adventurous spirit in his bones, but he won't be afraid.

"Do the people of the world know how big the world is? Where is the place outside the alien race?"

Shu An couldn't help but said out loud, he naturally knew the disadvantages of poor soldiers Qian Wu, but he had already thought of another way, that is to support war with war.

This world is really too big, Datang is just at a time, if possible, he hopes that Li Shimin can go out.

On the one hand, it will leave a broader foundation for future generations, and on the other hand, it will give Datang more foundations, which may be able to sustain the fate of the dynasty for a few more years.

The Tang Dynasty lasted less than 300 years, which is too short. What Shu An has to do now is to stimulate Li Shimin's ambition.

Li Shimin, who is above history, ruled the world with literature, accepted advice with an open mind and practiced frugality, and persuaded farmers to teach farming and mulberry so that the people could rest and live in peace and prosperity.

But this method is really too slow. Even with the help of Shu An's health preservation, Li Shimin lived 20 years longer than the previous history, but it was still not enough.

Especially at that time when the Great Tang generals were zeroed, even if there were some generals who stood out, they were just a handful.

It may be because of Li Shimin's literary rule that the excavation of many famous generals was suppressed.

All in all, Datang at that time had already missed the best opportunity.

But now is the best era, and those famous generals who followed Li Shimin in the Eastern and Northern Wars are still there.

Coupled with his discovery of some future stars, such as Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, if they grow up, it can be said that this is the best opportunity for Datang.

Faced with Shu An's new question, Li Shimin remained silent here, because he didn't seem to have considered this question.

Logically speaking, the whole world would be the Tang Dynasty, but this was obviously wishful thinking, after all, he was still aware of the alien races around him, as well as Li Shimin in Tianzhu and other places.

Chapter 3 The Priceless Treasure, The World

"In places other than the foreign race, there should be no Great Tang Dynasty."

After a long time, Li Shimin spoke slowly. After all, he didn't think that the Tang Dynasty composed of the entire Central Plains and Jiangnan would not be as big as the land where the foreign races were located.

Li Xiuning on the side also nodded. Although she had a lot of dissatisfaction with her second brother, she still agreed with her second brother's words.

Facing Li Shimin's words, Shu An's smile became even stronger, but he was obviously already prepared.

"Laifu, take out the box in the second row above the cabinet in the study."

Shu An didn't answer Li Shimin's question, but spoke slowly. The words to cultivate Li Shimin's ambition were just his whim, and the problem just happened because of the food.

However, there are some things that he has prepared long ago, just waiting to take them out one day. Perhaps no one would believe what he took out back then.

But now he is qualified enough, just making up a reason is also enough, and what he said is also convincing.

"Yes, sir!"

After Laifu finished serving Li Shimin's iced drink, he retreated far away. Hearing his master's words, he was taken aback for a moment, but then he replied immediately.

He knows how much his master attaches importance to the study, not to mention the things that are specially packed in boxes.

On the other side, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning were a little curious. The reason was simple, that was, they both knew that Shu An didn't care about property and other things.

Especially during the last Chinese New Year, the gift from Li Zhi was still fresh in Li Shimin's memory.

He doesn't know how many things his sub-father secretly has, but he can be sure of one thing.

That is, everything collected by my own father must have its meaning.

On the other hand, Li Xiuning knew that his father had rewarded the teacher with many things, but the teacher refused them all.

There was a mysterious smile on Shu An's face, and this demeanor was also seen by the brothers and sisters, so they couldn't help but become more curious.

"Master, the things are here!"

Not long after, Lai Fu's figure came, carefully holding a box in his hand.

There was an exquisite small lock on the box, and a key had appeared in Shu An's hand at some point.

Even Laifu couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw this box. You must know that the box in the study is usually not locked by his master.

And this box is the most special one. Of course, although I was curious, I didn't dare to ask about it because of this majesty and the princess.

"There are priceless treasures hidden here."

Seeing this box, Shu An spoke slowly, with a hint of seriousness in his words.

After the voice fell, it was the turn of the people present to be stunned.

In particular, Li Shimin shook his head slightly, as if he was not optimistic about what amazing treasure his father could come up with.

After all, as the emperor, he has seen all the wonders in the world, which may be priceless to his father, but it may not be a big deal in his eyes.

Compared with the contempt on Li Shimin's face, Li Xiuning's face was full of great interest.

"Squeak!"

Shu An slowly opened this box, seeing the things inside, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Li Shimin and Li Shimin also looked over, but frowned slightly, because it was a simple piece of paper.

Although it has not been spread out yet, Li Shimin and the two are a little disappointed. The reason is very simple, even if there is any content on it, it cannot be regarded as a priceless treasure.

"Shimin, Xiuning might as well guess the content?"

The expressions of the two were also seen by Shu An, but the smile on Shu An's face still let out a voice slowly.

"Could this be the transcript of the words of some ancient sage?"

Li Shimin was the first to speak out when he heard Shu An's words. Although he was puzzled in his words, his tone was affirmative.

Because after much deliberation, if he can be called a priceless treasure by this sub-father, then this is the only one.

"Teacher, Xiuning can't figure it out!"

Li Xiuning's face showed a hint of embarrassment, after all, she was not as interested in calligraphy and painting as her second brother.

For her, if this piece of paper records some ancient art of war, it would be of great interest to her.

It's a pity that she also knows that the art of war cannot be a priceless treasure at all.

At least it can't be the priceless treasure that the teacher said, so Li Xiuning simply didn't guess.

Faced with the two people's answers, Shu An's smile grew stronger, and then he spread out the entire paper.

"This is a map, which took decades to make for my teacher. This map contains the world in my eyes"

Shu An's voice sounded slowly. Of course, how true or false this sentence is is a question.

Only Shu An knows what is true and what is false. In fact, he also did a lot of things when he gave lectures a few years ago.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning didn't think it was difficult when they said the previous sentence, but when they said the next sentence, their eyes couldn't help but fall on this map.

If there are people of later generations on this map, they will find that it is a map of the Eurasian continent.

Of course, now the grassland continues to the north and Shu'an is not marked, and Shu'an, an island continent in Southeast Asia, is not marked.

However, this map is also a priceless treasure in this era. Looking at the Tang Dynasty marked on the map, it is only a small piece.

Even Li Shimin fell into astonishment, but my Tang Dynasty was so small.

Li Xiuning on the side was also not much better. She was not uncommon for maps, but she had never seen maps of the whole world.

"These are the maps I have traveled all over the world, combined with the maps of the Hu people, and the maps that I sent people to find out by myself."

Shu An's words continued to ring out, this time there was a hint of weirdness in them, but the two of them didn't notice it.

Of course, Shu An is a little bit of a lie, but his travels are true, and his dispatch of people is also true, all of which can be checked.

So Li Shimin didn't have any doubts at all, but fell into self-doubt, and there were quite a few setbacks.

He finally understood why Yafu would ask the previous question. It turned out that the world in his eyes was really small.

Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes twinkled, and her eyes fell on her teacher. She knew that this map of the world was indeed a priceless treasure.

"Yafu, this priceless treasure is truly incomparable to any strange thing."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, his eyes seemed to be obsessed with this map and carefully observed it, for fear that someone would take it away.

Chapter 3: Wherever you walk, it is the land of the king

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Shu An couldn't deny it. If this map fell into the hands of some people, it could be said to be worthless.

However, for Li Shimin, for the entire Tang Dynasty, this is a priceless treasure, nothing can compare to it.

Of course, if this map was revealed, it would also cause a lot of shock, but Shu An didn't care about the sensation.
