Take the mall to Datang

Li Chengqian was a little slow to react, feeling that Yuan Shan was still perfunctory to him, but Quan Wanji was different, he heard Yuan Shan's meaning, and immediately said: "Thank you, Lord Lan, for your advice."

Seeing that Quan Wanji was like this, Li Chengqian couldn't say anything more.

"It's just a casual mention. If it's okay, let's leave the Prince's Palace here. I still have to enter the palace." Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 965 Expansion of Soldiers and Horses

Outside the imperial study room, Yuan Shan had just arrived and saw a familiar woman, it was Wu Meiniang.

"Wu Cairen?" Yuan Shan muttered in his heart, what was she doing at the door of the imperial study.

"Meiniang has seen Duke Lan, and His Majesty is discussing matters with the ministers in the Imperial Study, so I will report to His Majesty right now," Wu Meiniang said.

Yuan Shan was waiting at the door. There should be some secret things being discussed in this posture, but when did this Wu Meiniang get so much attention, and she came and went in and out of the imperial study at will, could it be that Li Shimin was confused? Wife, I'm really worried.

Her expression was calm and she didn't say anything, but she was a little worried in her heart. This Wu Meiniang is not an ordinary person. She is now the key to the team of the Ministry of War. I hope there will be no surprises.

After a while, all the people in the imperial study retreated out. Yuan Shan saw that they were all generals, Cheng Zhijie came out with a big grin, and said: "Yuan Shan, you are back, tonight, no, come to my house the day after tomorrow, Why don't you go home drunk."

"Okay, it just so happened that the boy brought this good wine from Luzhou and was thinking about letting all the uncles taste it." Yuan Shan said.

"How could I be missing from drinking." Yuchi Jingde said.

Yuan Shan looked at Cheng Zhijie playfully, knowing that the two had a good relationship, and wanted to see how Cheng Zhijie would respond, but at this moment Wu Meiniang came out and said, "Duke Lan, Your Majesty invites you in."

Yuan Shan said: "It's good to go with a few digits."

Li Shimin looked obviously haggard, and there was a lot of files on the table. When Yuan Shan came in, he waved back and forth, and Wu Meiniang retreated helplessly.

"Yuan Shan, I have made a lot of adjustments to the Ministry of War. Take a look at the current development and see if there are any deficiencies that need to be supplemented and improved. You must speak up." Li Shimin said.

Ma He helped hand over the file to Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan came here on a business trip, why did he feel like he was on duty all of a sudden.

The emperor asked him to read it, and looked through the files. After a while, Ma He moved a stool and a small table. He was the first person to be treated like this in the imperial study.

Yuan Shan was naturally not polite. After two months of doing it himself, Li Shimin had a good impression of the "round table meeting" format, but he still liked to look down on everyone.

However, it is really impossible to work better if the ministers are standing, so stools and tables are prepared in the imperial study room. This has become a trend, and there are plans to implement it in the palace.

Yuan Shan watched carefully, the deputy commanders were all big bosses, the arrangement that Hou Junji was in charge of logistics was quite interesting.

What is even more surprising is that the framework has basically been completed in just two months, and there are 15 soldiers and horses as a regular force. Although the Fubing system has been cancelled, if it is really called upon, it will definitely be able to rush a large number of people in a short time.

However, the efforts made in this way will be questioned, and there is basically no problem after reading the existing situation.

"Your Majesty, there are two problems now." Yuan Shan said.

"Let's listen to it." Li Shimin said.

"The reorganization of the Ministry of War has been very successful. The first thing to pay attention to now is the appointment and removal of soldiers and the assessment. This must be strictly enforced. The second is that there are too few soldiers and horses. The regular soldiers and horses can be increased to 30. Every three years - one move New, those who perform well can continue to serve, military households are not hereditary, they can be issued military household certificates, and they will be taken back after retiring from the army. There are notes on the household registration, which can be registered as reserve personnel. If there is a war in the Tang Dynasty, it can be given priority Compete." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin frowned, hesitantly said: "30 soldiers and horses cost too much."

"It's not big at all. Your Majesty's military power is the key. The Tang Dynasty has a vast land and resources, and 30 regular soldiers are already very few. If it can be increased to 50." Yuan Shan continued.

The more he talked, Li Shimin thought for a while and felt that what Yuan Shan said was right, but with so many people spending a lot of money on the treasury, they would definitely be called militaristic.

"The expenses are huge, is this really good?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, to put it simply, having the military power is the world. I have always suggested that [-]% of the treasury's expenditure should be spent on the Ministry of War, recruiting troops, and making armaments. Perhaps within three to five years, the Tang army will be invincible. At that time, it can be appropriately reduced to [-]% to [-]%, and then all the expenditures will be used on the economic construction of Datang, so as to develop soundly. Grand plan, five-year plan, ten-year development, if passed on like this, gradually improved and continued, His Majesty's achievement will be far higher than that of the First Emperor." Yuan Shan said.

If you want to wear thousands of clothes and flatter you, you will export when it is time to export.

Li Shimin has already analyzed the pros and cons. This is not the first time Yuan Shan has mentioned this matter. As an emperor, he would rather see that his descendants can keep their business, and Yuan Shan's ideas can help him solve these problems.

Especially after the military reform, the power is centralized, even if the emperor is changed, as long as the court does not fall, the plan will continue. No matter how it is changed, the Ministry of War will not be shaken. If the Ministry of War is not shaken, it means that the Tang Dynasty will always be peaceful. of.

The construction and development of civil servants are carried out around the common people, and the Tang Dynasty will be invincible, and may even last for a hundred years and a thousand years. He is yearning for such an achievement, but it is not easy to implement it.

With two completely different plans, the current reorganization of the Ministry of War has been very successful, precisely because it allowed him to see what he wanted to see.

The power is concentrated, the imperial power is still supreme, and there will not be too many changes after the succession of the descendants of the descendants, and the credit should actually be attributed to Yuan Shan.

"Thinking about what you said, it makes sense. 30 regular troops, excluding the soldiers guarding the border, are enough to maintain the safety of Datang." Li Shimin muttered.

"Military household certificate, this idea is very interesting. If it is really changed in this way, it will save a lot of trouble. Yuan Shan is now in the midst of employing people in the court. I want you to work in the Ministry of War." Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's good. The Ministry of War has just been reorganized and needs to be adjusted internally, and I have to manage the Ministry of Economic Development, which is really powerless. Besides, economic development is equally important. No money means no future. This time, I am here to report. The difficult road, after some inspections, I feel that the construction of the Yizhou Railway should be put on the agenda, so that Chang’an’s food can be guaranteed, and the commercial road can go directly to the southern hinterland, which plays a vital role in the local development.” Yuan Shan brought the topic back.

Li Shimin didn't force it. It's too early to make arrangements for Yuan Shan. After the Ministry of War is settled, there will still be civil servants. He can't be anxious, not to mention the money earned by the Ministry of Economics and Development, which is more convenient for him to use.

Chapter 966

"Yizhou Railway, the national treasury has limited expenditure..." Li Shimin was still very sensitive to money. When he saw Yuanshan opened his mouth to ask for money, he found a topic to prevaricate before Yuanshan could say anything else.

Yuan Shan left the imperial study very depressed, and saw that it was already dark.

"Lan Guogong, Meiniang asked someone to light the lamp for you." Wu Meiniang said at the door.

The little eunuch came to lead the way with a lamp, and Yuan Shan left the palace all the way.

Back at the Duke's mansion, all the girls greeted him in the front yard. Seeing Yuan Shan all ran over to surround him, Yingying Yanyan couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

But Xiaobie wins Xinhuan, Yuan Shan let the group of people play freely, before they could speak, Shan Jia rushed up and gave him a kiss in front of everyone, soft and long, envious of others.

Seeing this, Yuwen Wanrou looked shy and turned her head away, as if she wanted to look but didn't dare to look, which was very provocative.

Shanjia didn't blush and her heart didn't beat, as if it was normal, she said softly: "This is what I want to do, my husband, don't you like doing this kind of thing so openly and aboveboard?"

Old Yuan Shan blushed, that's right, but it's fine to acquiesce in my heart, why should I say it out.

"Shanjia, you still need to learn your Chinese well. It's not how it is used, but the meaning is similar. Yes, I like it very much, not only you, but also you..." Yuan Shan gestured to Pu Pounced on the girls.

In an instant, there was a lot of charming laughter, and everyone ran away one after another, leaving Yuan Shan in vain.

Yuan Shan, who was full of spring, was busy for a long time without catching anyone. He got up and pretended to be weak and almost fell down. In front of everyone, kissed her, and she felt shy all of a sudden.

"Husband, you are so ridiculous, I will ignore you." Du Qianyu rushed back to the backyard with a scold.

Seeing that Yuan Shan hadn't given up on chasing, all the girls ran to the backyard.

Yuan Shan's interest was aroused, so he would not let them go, and then chased them into the backyard.

A night of frolicking, lively and fragrant.

"Husband, why don't you get up, if you let the sisters see it, you will be laughed at." Yuwen Wanrou said softly.
