Great Tang Southern Emperor

If the Great Chaos in Lingnan is really driven by the blood alliance behind the scenes, then things will be troublesome. If I want to stabilize Lingnan, I am afraid that there will be a lot of variables out of thin air. If Lingnan wants to stabilize, I will have to spend a lot of money Thinking of this, Li Zhen couldn't help but frowned, even though she knew that the chaos in Lingnan caused some predators outside of Lingnan to peep, but Li Zhen didn't expect that it would be a blood alliance, and this is a bit tricky—— — But it's just tricky. Li Zhen has worked hard for ten years, and the author himself doesn't know how much energy he has.

"My subordinates are [-]% sure." Duan Yi said coldly: "Although I haven't got a clue, there are no more than a handful of forces in the world = even the Blood Dragon Guards can't get a clue, and there are countless people here. Among the forces, only the blood alliance is the most unfriendly to us."

"But Your Highness, don't worry." Seeing Li Zhen's frown, Duan Yi said, "The Blood Alliance is indeed powerful, but the Blood Dragon Guard is not a vegetarian. More importantly, although the Blood Alliance is at work this time, The subordinates reckon that they don't come with much power, otherwise Lingnan would not be as simple as chaos."

"I'm not worried, I just think things are getting more and more interesting." Li Zhen smiled and said, "Any other information?"

"Yes." Duan Yi said quickly, how could he come to see Li Zhen with only one piece of information?Immediately, he told Li Zhen all the information he knew in detail, which also made Li Zhen understand Lingnan more deeply.

"This king knows it all. The Blood Dragon Guards have worked so hard, and this king will give you a lot of rewards."

"My subordinates are waiting for the brothers of the Blood Dragon Guard to thank His Highness for the reward."

"You go down first, and continue to pay attention to the movements of the seven major forces, but don't startle the snake."

"Yes, this subordinate understands, and this subordinate will leave."

"How is it? Is everything he said true?" After Duan Yi left, Li Zhen asked towards the empty room.

"Blood Dragon Guard is indeed the trump card intelligence organization of the Li family. It is indeed outstanding." Zhang Lang suddenly appeared, and he said with admiration: "The information he got is basically the same as what I got. The only difference is that , he just speculated that the Blood Alliance was involved in the Lingnan chaos, but I am quite sure that this is the trick of the Blood Alliance, only these mice will play such a wide-spread game. But this does not mean that Skynet is stronger than Blood Dragon Guard, but It's because the subordinate's ability comes from the family, and they have a certain understanding of the blood alliance, so they noticed it one step earlier than Commander Duandu."

Li Zhen waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, stop bragging, you deserve to come here just to praise Duan Yi, right? Ask how the situation in Tian Shuyuan is? Has the shop arrived, students?"

"The first batch of Wentian Shuyuan students have graduated, and they are all elites among the elite." Speaking of Wentian Shuyuan, Zhang Lang expressed joy: "The first batch of students has a total of 390 students, including 100 top students and the rest. They are all middle-level students, they are all available talents, and they have all arrived in Lingnan safely."

"Great, 390 six people, enough for me to use for the time being." Li Zhen was also delighted, and asked Tian Shuyuan if it was his biggest move in the past few years, which caused quite a shock at the time.

After getting enough rights from Li Shimin, Li Zhen wrote to request the establishment of an academy to spread the things in the heavenly scriptures.Li Shimin has long coveted Li Zhen's heavenly book, but this thing is in Li Zhen's mind. If Li Zhen doesn't give it to him, he can't do anything about it. Now that Li Zhen has this idea, he is too happy. How can he object?So things went smoothly and got approved.

After obtaining permission, Li Zhen ordered the Blood Dragon Guard to secretly search for school-age children, especially orphans. He himself compiled teaching materials, selected a site for the academy, and finally settled on a mountain forest outside Chang'an City. .

The scale of Wentian Shuyuan is very large, covering an area of ​​over a thousand hectares, and its all-concrete buildings are strong enough to withstand an earthquake of magnitude [-] (the buildings in the Tang Dynasty were very low, and the power of a magnitude [-] earthquake at that time was far less destructive than it is now), which was at that time But it caused quite a stir.Wentian Shuyuan is divided into five subjects: arts, science, engineering, business, and teachers, corresponding to the current arts, sciences, engineering, business, and teachers.As for the way of being an official, this is an elective course. There is no way. Although Wentian Shuyuan was established, it did not conform to Confucian morals (artisans and businessmen were very boycotted by Confucianism at that time, and science was the stuff of Confucian rivals Mohism. In the end, Li Zhen relied on his status as a prince to recruit some scholars to act as liberal arts teachers, and sometimes he even had to take part in the battle in person. Some artisans and merchants cameo.

Wentian Shuyuan adopts a seven-year system, three years of elementary school, two years of middle school, and two years of university. Each promotion requires three exams. Those who pass one of the three exams can be promoted. If they fail all of them, they can only drop out of school.Of course, the students who dropped out of school would not let them go. Some of Li Zhen's subordinates were willing to accept these failures—although Wen Tian Shuyuan failed, but at least they learned something, right?At least the common words should be familiar, right?This is a cultural person, he is a talent everywhere, and only Wentian Shuyuan is an inferior student.

The Wentian Shuyuan exam is very strict, basically one in a hundred, so that seven years have passed, the first batch of more than 1 children, and now only [-] to [-] have passed.

"This is only the first session. The second session will recruit more people, which means that next year there will be more qualified talents. After three years, I will no longer be short of talents." Li Zhen sighed in her heart. Said: "This is the real way to destroy the family. Fundamentally wipe out the sense of existence of the family. At that time, all the state officials in the world will be my people. I want to see how your family will exert its influence." ?”

"However, Your Highness must also be careful of the family's perils. I know their temperament very well." Zhang Lang reminded: "It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, the family will definitely find out the threat of Wentian Shuyuan."

"Don't worry, when they find Wentian Shuyuan's threat, they will also find that the king's wings are full, and he can't do anything to me anymore." Li Zhen smiled proudly, and instructed: "Remember to protect the students well , Don’t be negligent, this is the cornerstone of our future, and it is also the most important task of your Skynet in the recent period, so let’s leave the matter of the seven major forces alone for the time being.”

"Your subordinate understands." Zhang Lang smiled, then added some information that the Blood Dragon Guard had not found, and retreated after speaking.

Chapter 273

Chapter 49 Boys' Army

"Huh." After digesting the information from Blood Dragon Guard and Skynet, he rubbed his aching brain, and before he could make a move, a pair of hands were placed on his temples in advance, gently massaging them.

Li Zhen leaned her body against the situation, closed her eyes and let out a long breath: "It's still comfortable for you to massage. Sister Mei Niang only pokes with her fingers, and every time I poke my scalp, it turns blue."

"Pfft~" Aya was amused by Li Zhen's words: "If the concubine heard this, it would not be poking, but pinching."

"Then you mustn't tell her." Li Zhen pretended to be afraid, and quickly begged for mercy: "Otherwise I will be miserable."

"Okay, don't be ridiculous, I'm looking for you for a serious business." Aya smiled for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "I have already brought you the Boys, how are you going to arrange them?"

"Young army?" Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and asked, "If I assign them to Xue Rengui as an army to suppress bandits, do you think they are competent?"

"Competence is definitely competent, but isn't it a bit too talented?" Aya hesitated, and asked: "You have secretly cultivated the Youth Army for ten years, and the value of each person is immeasurable. In terms of combat effectiveness Even the most elite Xuanjia army in the Tang Dynasty is inferior, isn't it too wasteful for you to suppress bandits?"

"I know all these things, but the young army is brave enough, but it is not without shortcomings." Li Zhen enjoyed Aya's massage, and said slowly: "First, although they are elite, they are a team that I have never seen before." The army of blood happens to use the seven major forces to train their hands. Among the seven major forces, Feng Gai is the only one who can be called the elite. The rest can only be regarded as weak scum, and there is no better training target than them;

Second, for a long time to come, the Boys’ Army will target the indigenous peoples of the Indochina Peninsula. The Indochina Peninsula is densely covered with jungles, which is very similar to the environment in Lingnan. While suppressing bandits in Lingnan, they can also become familiar with jungle warfare methods. In the future, it can be regarded as having experience when facing the natives;

Third, you are nothing more than worried that the Boys' Army will be damaged in the battle against the seven major forces, causing unnecessary damage.But you don't know that today's youth army is too arrogant.Before I came here, I heard from Geng Hu that the current youth army is so arrogant that no one takes it seriously.Some time ago, when they were still resting in rotation, they had a conflict with a group of Xuanjia soldiers. The three of them actually fought against a dozen Xuanjia soldiers. They won and humiliated the Xuanjia soldiers severely.If things go on like this, it will not be a good thing for them. If they suffer a little in some small battles, it is exactly what I wish for to wipe out their arrogance. "

"Since you have plans, then I don't worry, but the Youth Army has only 3 people in total, and if you lose one, you will lose one. You have to save some money." Aya has always respected Li Zhen, seeing that he already has plans , I stopped persuading, but told Li Zhen not to waste too much.

"I will use the boy army wisely, you don't need to tell me about it." Li Zhen straightened up, turned to look at Aya, and asked strangely: "But who told you that one boy soldier died and the other died? I don't remember. Did I say something like that?"

"Are you going to train another batch of youth soldiers?" Aya's beautiful eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Do you know how much money the youth army is wasting? A youth army doesn't talk about armor and weapons, it's just training , On average, a person spends more than [-] training sessions per year, [-] youth soldiers, plus those eliminated, do you know how much money this is?"

"Of course I know, these accounts are all in my head." Li Zhen pointed to her brain and said with a smile: "After five years, the 700 young army spent a total of nearly 1000 million silver, plus the halfway Withdrawing or eliminating a total of 1000 million guan, this is not too much, right? [-] million guan for an invincible army, even the emperor would do this, right?"

It may be because he is so good at making money. Li Zhen no longer cares about money. He doesn't even know how much money he has now. (I don’t know if you still remember this old man, Li Zhen bought it from the market, and later he was in charge of the initial construction of the bank) He can take it out for him, and he gets used to it over time.

"" Aya looked at Li Zhen speechlessly, only two words in her mind - local tyrant.

"Do you know how much Datang's annual income is?"

"Of course I know that Datang's income last year was 500 million yuan (a mine is about 500 copper coins, which is about the same as Guan. Since it is similar, why not use a measurement standard and have to set up another name), this is simply The money income should be 500 million bolts of cloth, [-] million stones of grain, and wool.”

"Stop, stop." Aya quickly interrupted Li Zhen, and said angrily: "Since you know it all, don't you understand how extravagant you really are? You must know that the entire Tang Dynasty only earns more than 1000 million yuan a year. You spent more than 1000 million yuan for a young army, which is almost the same as the tax of Datang, don't you think it's too much?"

Li Zhen looked at Aya strangely: "But I spent it in five years. On average, it's only more than 200 million yuan a year. Is it a lot?"

Li Zhen hasn't told Aya yet that the reason why Datang can earn more than 1000 million yuan is because of its own business development and expansion of territory. Otherwise, if you want to earn more than 1000 million yuan, wait another 100 years (Datang has the highest income. The first year was the 14th year of Dali in the Tang Dynasty, and the income was 1000 and 14 million yuan. If the 779th year of the Dali was replaced by AD, it would be 130. There are still more than [-] years from now, and there is nothing wrong with it).

"You, you have money, you..." Aya vomited blood from being stimulated, and regretted it in her heart, knowing that Li Zhen is a super hero, she doesn't take money as money at all, and you have nothing to do to find excitement in front of him.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you. Of course I feel sorry for so much money. Otherwise, why don't you think I didn't train the second batch right away?" Seeing that Aya was depressed, Li Zhen quickly said, "I really don't feel sorry for a young soldier. , but don’t forget, I still ask Tian Shuyuan, Tianwang and you, you spend no less money than the Boys’ Army, that’s an astronomical figure, of course I feel distressed.”

"But I don't see your distress at all."

"I'm hurt in my heart, so I can't see it on the surface." Li Zhen said shamelessly.

"Chi~" Aya only responded with a sneer.

"What I said is true, otherwise I wouldn't just train a group of young soldiers." Li Zhen said: "But I will soon have money, more money than before. As long as I open the air route, I can earn money." Inexhaustible wealth—Aya, do you know how much wealth there is at sea?"

Aya replied without thinking: "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Chapter 274 The Advantages of Shipping and Nan's Actions

Chapter 50 The Advantages of Shipping and Annan's Actions

"" There is no way to talk about it, but Li Zhen continued the topic with her strong perseverance: "Let me tell you this, let me say that in Rome, a piece of silk from my Tang Dynasty was put in Rome, you know How much can you sell it for?"

Aya continued to shake her head.

"Then let me tell you, Tang's silk is not sold by horse in Rome, but by weight. The ratio to gold is one to one! One, that is to say, one catty of silk can be exchanged for one catty of gold in Rome." Li Zhen stretched out a finger and tapped the table heavily word by word.

"" Aya's eyes widened immediately. As a princess of a country on the Silk Road, she knew that silk was very expensive in the West, but she didn't know that it was so expensive.But this makes sense, and it’s no wonder that those merchants would rather risk being attacked by horse thieves to travel on the Silk Road.

"What does Your Highness mean by saying this?"
