Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

With one hundred coins, Xue Li could barely buy an acre of homestead near the city wall, but there was no house here.

Xue Li smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, can I borrow some more money?"

If it was an ordinary person, Li Qingxian wouldn't think about it at all.A person like him relies on a pair of eyes to make a living. His eyesight is very poisonous. Although Xue Li deliberately rubbed away the traces on the carriage, the traces of the word "Hedong" still exist. He listened to Xue Li claiming his surname Xue must have been born in Hedong Xueli.

As one of the four great families, although the Xue family of Hedong is not as good as the seven sects and five wangs, it is definitely considered the second-class family in the world, and it is as famous as the Wenxi Pei family, Hedong Liu family, and Jingzhao Wei family.

Li Qing first guessed that Xue Li must have had trouble with his family. However, as the so-called broken bones are still connected, Xue Li will definitely put aside the old feud with his family.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "I can lend you another three hundred guan, which will be deducted from your share in the future!"

When Xue Li heard this, he was overjoyed.

Xue Li signed the paper and took the money to buy supplies.Although the post station provides meals, it is definitely not cheap, and many merchants choose to cook by themselves.

Xue Li bought a lot of things, three buckets of rice, two buckets of grain, salt, vinegar, sauce, and half a leg of lamb. These things weighed heavily on his body, which made Xue Li feel very fulfilled.

Liu Yingchun and the maid washed the rice and put it in the pot. They brought the pots with them. Anyway, the briquette stove was there all night, and the merchants lined up to cook.

Waiting for the rice to be ready and the mutton to be stewed, Liu Yingchun took the rice and had dinner with Xue Li.Xue Li is a warrior, he eats a lot, and his speed is very fast, he can eat up a bowl of rice in ten breaths.

Liu Yingchun waited for Xue Li to wolf down his meal, and then asked cautiously: "This money..."

Xue Li said: "Don't worry, lady, don't steal or rob, I borrowed it by my ability!"

With that said, Xue Li put the remaining money in Liu Yingchun's hands.

Looking at nearly four hundred coins, Liu Yingchun was startled: "Xue Lang, don't follow other people's advice!"

Xue Li nodded and said: "Don't worry, lady, this is the money I paid in advance. With my two hands, I can conquer the whole world!"

……

Li Jiancheng is a good emperor, he is generous not only to his courtiers, but also to hundreds of millions of people.

In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, that is, the sixth year of Li Jiancheng's ascension to the throne, Li Jiancheng signed with the six prime ministers of the political affairs hall under his door, and issued Li Jiancheng's favor.

"The emperor's edict said: I will inherit the great cause, burn the salary up to the Dan, dare not slack off, the officials govern the people are difficult, I have heard that the ancient sage kings ruled the world, the people did not add taxes, and the sea is full of abundance. Although I am not sensitive, I also I yearn for it. It is ordered that from now on, there will be a Tang Dynasty, and there will never be any Fu!"

As soon as this imperial decree came out, all the powerful families in the world were dumbfounded.

In the Song and Tang dynasties, whether it was Confucianism or gentry, they still wanted some face.At least they won't be as lowly as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they can still distinguish between good and bad.There are even many scholars whose minds are full of ideals and thoughts of enlightened emperors, and they are so moved.

Never add a gift!

What a benevolent government!

Who mentioned the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period?

This is the real benevolent king!

It has to be said that Kang Mazi's trick is still very capable of bluffing people, including the later Jin Daxia and countless mite remnants, but they all think it is Kang Mazi's benevolent government.

However, this is simply a nonsense false proposition.Because in China, taxes and taxes.Always separate.Taxes are used for national defense expenditures, government expenditures, and various local affairs and channel digging and repairs, etc.And Fu.It is used to build palace temples for the emperor, eat, drink and have fun.To put it bluntly, taxes go into the national treasury, but taxes are the emperor's internal funds, which do not go to the national treasury.

Naturally, Li Jiancheng does not need to increase taxes. The Royal Commercial Association created by Chen Ying has 3000% of Li Jiancheng's shares. Similarly, Duobaoshan Copper Mine in Anxi now has [-]% of Li Jiancheng's shares. Duobaoshan is the name Chen Ying chose.The mining work of Duobaoshan is the top priority. Li Jiancheng sent more than [-] craftsmen, plus Donggong Si led a total of [-] troops to Duobaoshan. It is expected that the first batch of copper output will be obtained in the fifth year of Kaiyuan.

However, in Taolin County, Hongnong County, there is the gold capital of China. This gold mine has been secretly mined for six years, and the copper stored is more than 2000 million catties.

The copper ingots with constant aid were sent to Chang'an, and sent to the internal servants to start casting Kaiyuan Tongbao with all their strength.

Because 2000 million catties of copper can cast nearly 300 million guan copper coins, as long as 300 million guan copper coins are put into the market, it will obviously cause a new round of inflation in Datang.

The money was not distributed free of charge, but for the transformation of Datang's army.

In fact, whether it is the government military system in the Tang Dynasty or the Weisuo system in the Ming Dynasty, it is very wrong to tie the army to the land. How can a semi-professional army take on the security responsibility of the Tang Dynasty's national defense? ?

Although Datang established a total of 360 seven Zhechong mansions, the number of these troops can reach more than 55 horses, but these troops, except for the Anxi Army, Anton Army, and the Twelve Guards Army, only have 37 horses, which are professional transforming the army.The professional army accounted for only one-third of Datang's total army.

Now Datang’s professional military construction has been lagging behind. It’s not that Li Jiancheng doesn’t want to build it. The key is that he has no money. The court has no money. How to pay the army?How to feed such a Datang army with nearly a million troops?

Although the army built on a half-time basis can save military expenses, it can also reduce the financial pressure on the court.The key is a half-time army, and it is easy to develop farmers.For example, the army in the Cao Wei era could hang and beat Wuheng, Xiongnu, and Qiang people at the beginning of the founding of the country, but in the later period, they became farmers with weapons.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty is the same.There are literally millions of troops in the sky, but in the end they didn't even hold the capital.

In the semi-professional army, the degradation of combat effectiveness is only one reason.Another reason is that the army indoctrinated by small farmers can easily lose its wolf nature.

Li Jiancheng originally didn't take it seriously in advance, but now that Li Shimin is an absolute threat, he must treat this issue with caution.

After having the money, Li Jiancheng put the professionalization of the army on the agenda without hesitation.

Freeing the army from the land was Li Jiancheng's first step.

From today onwards, although the government soldiers are still in Zhechong Prefecture as a unit and stationed in various places, they still enjoy the right of tax exemption for their families, and they themselves receive a salary of seven hundred and two hundred yuan a year.

ps: I recommend a good-looking fantasy novel "The Romance of the Ancient Heaven". The protagonist was impulsive in the early stage, his dantian was abolished, and he modified the special skills that don't use the dantian. Heavy, it’s pretty exciting!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The salary of Qiguan and two qian is naturally not much, but the things that can be bought by Qiguan and two hundred qian are definitely not small.If you buy all the grain, you can buy fourteen shi and four buckets, enough to feed a family of five for a year.

The point is, this is the extra money that Tang Jun soldiers got.

Originally, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty only enjoyed the benefits brought by the land. After they got over the initial survival problems, they gradually began to cherish their lives and become more comfortable.After all, human desires are infinite.In the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao began to farm. These soldiers were originally soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and they had nothing but a life.

As a result, according to local conditions, the government provided money, seeds, land and farming tools, and the refugees contributed to farming. If official cattle were used, [-]% of the proceeds would go to the government, and [-]% would be individuals.If you don't use the official cattle, then the income is divided in half.

In fact, this so-called system is far more profitable than working for farmers on American farms. It is absolutely impossible for any enterprise to share the income equally with employees.Generally, companies that can contribute 5.00% or [-]% are considered conscientious companies.

However, human desires are infinite.After surviving the initial difficult period, these military and civilian villages were unwilling to do it. They believed that the Cao family had deprived them of their rights and freedom too much.

Sima's usurpation of Wei came about because of this, which has nothing to do with strategy or wisdom.During the Han Dynasty, the baby emperors who appeared were very emperors, and even Huo Guang was ordered to confiscate his family and exterminate his family.As long as the court does not lose the foundation of people's hearts, the conspiracy is doomed to be impossible to succeed.

When Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying were together, Chen Ying repeatedly urged Li Jiancheng that the military system of the Tang Dynasty must be reformed, otherwise the imperial court would cause the scourge of the feudal towns in the long run.

Because there is no way to mobilize the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the generals, even the soldiers are unwilling to mobilize lightly, just like the Zhechong Mansion in Jiangzuo, where there is a lot of rain, and two crops can be harvested a year.Similarly, if one hundred mu of land is planted, Jiangnan can earn 150 or [-] shi of grain, while Guanzhong has about [-] shi, and Hexi only has about [-] shi, and it is often dry.

The land is different from barren to rich, and people's hearts are naturally uneven. It is no problem for them to fight in a short period of time, but it is very difficult to deploy troops.

Li Jiancheng is an emperor who knows soldiers, so he naturally knows that the mobilization of the Tang army is not a problem. After all, he conquered the Turks, opened up the Western Regions, and killed the old enemy of Tubo. No one who is not open-eyed dared to rebel.

As the saying goes, people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries.

He has enough prestige, absolute prestige, but what about the prince?

Li Chengdao is only 12 years old now, and Chen Ying has experienced by his side.But now that the Tang Dynasty has destroyed the Eastern Turks, conquered the Western Turks, and pacified Tubo, it can be said that in recent years, there have been no large-scale wars at all.Li Chengdao also had no chance to practice.
