Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When everyone saw Li Ke in the court hall, they were stunned.

His Royal Highness King Qin, who said he would not go to court for two months, is going to go to court?

Seeing Li Ke, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help raising his head to look at the distant sky.

"What do you mean?!" Li Ke stared at him and asked.

"It's okay, I just want to see if the sun is still rising from the east today." Cheng Yaojin said in vain, aiming at the belly of the fish in the east.

"Remember your words." Li Ke sneered.

"What's the matter? Your Highness King Qin, you don't want to learn martial arts with the old man, do you?" Cheng Yaojin said with a chuckle.

"Your Highness, it's not that the old minister looks down on you. You can't beat him in terms of martial arts." Yuchi Jingde who was beside him immediately said.

"Contest with me. If you agree, I will transfer you to the Baling Peninsula of the Tang Dynasty to station for three years. Can you beat me?" Li Ke said with a sneer.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde straightened their faces immediately, bent over and saluted: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is invincible in the world; his military strength is outstanding, and he is proud of all heroes."

"Yo, it kind of rhymes." Li Ke raised his eyebrows and mocked.

"Your Highness, you are joking. No matter where the veterans dare to compete with you, they say that boxing is afraid of the young." Cheng Yaojin said quickly.

"Hehe." Li Ke chuckled twice.

Li Jing and the others next to him were a little dumbfounded. These two old fellows are too shameless. You have completely ruined the face of our generals.

"Your Highness, the weather is nice today." Fang Xuanling over there couldn't help but say something.

He hasn't finished reading the memorial that Li Ke gave him. It is about the split of the six departments, mainly about the duplication of powers and the addition of the functions of the six departments. It is estimated that there will be at least a dozen departments after the split.

Today, His Highness actually came to court again, so there will be nothing new, right?Your Highness, I haven't slept with Madam in my old room for many days.

Li Ke raised his head and looked, well, the sky is clear, and the east is already pale.

"It's really good." Li Ke nodded without changing his face.

Just kidding, my hard-working subordinates made me unable to salt fish, but to work.

Now that I'm all working, can you people still be idle?This is actually quite good, as long as you get busy, as long as everyone has enough things to do, no one will have the leisure to intrigue.

Good.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, His Highness didn't say anything, this...how does it feel like another big event happened today!

When Li Shimin came over, he was not surprised to see Li Ke. Yesterday, Li Ke was able to leave the little lady in the brothel and run to the industrial area, which proved that the matter was serious, otherwise he would not have left at all.

Li Ke came today, which really shows that the matter is not a small matter.

After announcing that he would go to court, Li Shimin spoke up: "All dear friends, if you have something to do, just play together."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Li Ke, and the meaning of the eyes was only one: Your Highness, you come first?

Li Ke stood up without changing his face and said: "Father, my son has something to do."

Li Shimin was in a daze, good guy, when was the last time Li Ke was so serious?

"Say."

"Yes, my son drafted a reform plan yesterday, please look it over." Li Ke said directly.

"You read it directly. Since you have gone to the court, it proves that you must have thought it over. Just say it and discuss it in the court." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, the plan drafted by my son is "Promoting the Reform of Datang Army to Modernize and Strengthen the Army."

"Father, today our Great Tang has an unprecedented situation. Whether it is from the people, from the Great Tang court, or from military weapons, our Great Tang is ahead of all dynasties and generations, and now the Great Tang The Tang army is facing unprecedented challenges, so it is time for us to promote the modernization of the army, make the army more in line with modern conditions, and increase the combat effectiveness of the Tang army." Li Ke said seriously.

As soon as Li Ke's words came out, all the generals present were shocked, and this was closely related to them.

And Cheng Yaojin over there couldn't help but look at each other with Yuchi Jingde, Your Highness...it won't be true, so I just laughed at you, so you can be serious, right?Is it too late for me to surrender now?

"Continue, what kind of reform law are you talking about?"

"The reform of the current government military system has become a compulsory military service system." Li Ke said.

"What is compulsory military service?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke suspiciously and asked, didn't he talk about the conscription system last time?

"The so-called compulsory military service system means that all Tang citizens who have reached the age of age are obliged to join the army to protect their families and the country." Li Ke said.

"Isn't this still the Fubing system?" Cheng Yaojin said subconsciously.

"It's not the same. The military service system provides food and seven things by the soldiers themselves, but the compulsory military service system, the common people are only obliged to serve, but all the food, clothing, weapons and armor they serve are provided by the Tang court! And in three years During the compulsory military service period, there will be an additional subsidy of 100 cash per month."

"After three years, if you intend to become a professional soldier, the monthly military salary subsidy will be increased to 150 yuan per month! Three years as a period, after the end of the three-year compulsory military service system, becoming a professional soldier will automatically become a professional soldier. become squad leaders, and all soldiers will have a non-commissioned officer system."

"The non-commissioned officer is divided into seven ranks, from bottom to top, they are corporal, sergeant, sergeant, fourth-rank sergeant major, third-rank sergeant major, second-rank sergeant major and first-rank sergeant major. The treatment of each rank will be improved. But note that all non-commissioned officers are soldiers, while officers are distinguished according to lieutenants, field officers, and generals."

"Theoretically, the treatment of a first-level sergeant should refer to the treatment at the division level."

Li Ke told everyone about the non-commissioned officers and the officer system. He did not change the officer system. Lieutenants, school officers, and generals are traditions since ancient times, and there is no need to change them. Non-commissioned officers are for all soldiers to get ahead. Opportunity.

Everyone grasped the essence of His Highness's non-commissioned officer system in an instant, and gave honor to some soldiers who made great contributions, but were unable to lead soldiers due to knowledge and other issues, and also avoided the embarrassing situation of the large-scale conferment of the Tang Dynasty. place.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have something to ask Your Highness." Fang Xuanling who was next to him stood up directly.

"Tell me." Li Shimin nodded.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, last year the annual income of the Datang treasury was only more than 1200 million. Even this year, the Datang treasury will increase because of the commercial and tax reforms started by His Highness, but because there is no national unified implementation, even if it is too much. Wanguan treasury income to calculate."

"However, the entire Tang Dynasty needs at least 80 to 10 troops to maintain national stability. Adding food, armor, horses, clothes, bedding, etc., the funds needed to feed tens of thousands of people may be close to tens of millions, or even There are more numbers."

"It's not that I don't agree with the reform. I think I should wait until the national commercial tax reform is completed, and then carry out the reform step by step?" Fang Xuanling put forward his opinion.

"No, I'll take care of the money for Datang's army." Li Ke said without changing his expression.

Everyone is stupid... you bag it? !

"Your Highness...this is all expenses for at least 60 people." Fang Xuanling was also dumbfounded.

"I have calculated based on the quota of 100 million people. On average, based on the military salary of 150 Wen per month, the annual military salary is 180 million guan. A set of Mingguang armor costs 80 guan, and 100 million people is 8000 million guan, but this is a one-time expenditure. , War horses are available now, and this part of the expenditure will not increase. Clothes and fabrics are made of high-quality linen, etc. to make military uniforms. I will calculate the consistent money for one soldier a year, which is only 100 million. The food is calculated on the basis of 1 catty per day. , but only 1 million stones a year, I will count as 300 million stones."

"If the armor is divided into 8 years, the current annual expenditure is 1280 million guan, plus 500 million shi of grain. In this way, other training and so on will be lost. I will add funds to 1500 million guan and 1000 million shi of food per year. I'll pay the money." Li Ke said without changing his expression.

Everyone was silent... So everyone said that the powerful family is rich, what is His Royal Highness King Qin called?God of Wealth?

etc?Are you going to replace Mingguang armor for 100 million people? ! ! ! !
