It is not an easy task to defeat or even completely destroy Tibet, and to bring the people, cattle and sheep of that land into its own sphere of rule.

The most important thing at the moment is to continue to recruit troops and strengthen strength.

With the current capacity of the imperial court, it can only support 100,000 soldiers and horses at most, which is already the limit. 100,000 people eat and drink, which is not a small number.

But in this way, it will definitely affect the development of other fields, so Chen Jingle decided to take the route of fighting to support war.

Ancient dynasties often did this, and in the Han Dynasty, Huo went to attack the Xiongnu, that is, he only brought a small amount of military rations on the road, and relied on the enemy's resources to supply them along the way. After all, no matter how rich the treasury is, it is impossible to maintain a large number of troops for many years, and most of the time it relies on local self-supply.

But now that the government and military system have collapsed and the local feudal towns have been divided, the difficulties faced by the imperial court have become even more serious.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the enemy's resources to strengthen one's own body, so that the Shence army can become stronger and stronger. If the enemy dares to come and rob us, we can also snatch it back.

It was also the case before the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, "there are no guns, no cannons, and the enemy makes us made", it doesn't matter if there is no Kaishen logistics in these years, there are fat cattle and sheep, strong horses, and women with good butts!

"Your Majesty said that in the future, only one-third of the spoils of the Shence Army need to be handed over to the treasury, and the rest will be kept for yourself. Chen Jingle announced the news in public, and the cheers in the Shence army did not stop.

This means that the soldiers' loot income will be greatly increased in the future, who will be afraid of more money?

This is the first step of Chen Jingle's plan: to link interests with the army, so that every soldier can enjoy the dividends of war.

At that time, they don't need Chen Jingle's urging, they themselves will not be able to hold back, and they will charge and kill the enemy with all their strength.

Interests are the most moving.

In the future, we can even consider restoring the military merit lord system, and presumably the people of the world will be even more crazy, just like the early Han and early Tang dynasties.

The current Shence Army has initially possessed the qualities required to become a strong army, and Chen Jingle is looking forward to the day when it will sweep the world in the future.

Set a small goal first and recruit enough 100,000 soldiers and horses!

Now there are 60,000 in hand, and another 40,000 need to be recruited, another 10,000 in Chang'an City, and 30,000 in more than ten other counties.

In fact, the second recruitment situation was even hotter than the first, after all, the treatment of the Shence Army was notoriously good, and the people were obvious to all, so they were naturally willing to join it. Nowadays, many families are even proud to join the Divine Army.

These are the effects of war. There is also credit for propaganda.

After the recruits enter the barracks, after more than a month of high-intensity training, they will soon be able to form combat effectiveness and put them into combat.

A relatively complete training system for recruits has been formed in the Shence Army, and ideological education will also be strengthened.

In addition, the Valhalla, which Chen Jingle said before, has also been established. All the gods and soldiers who died in battle are enshrined and worshipped by the world.

This move alone made the Shence Army completely return to their hearts, how could anyone in the world have ever had such a move?

The officers and men of the Shence Army were so excited that they burst into tears, and many military attachés who heard the news were also in a state of flux, which was a supreme recognition of the soldiers!

Ordinary people may not be able to understand the intention for a while, but the first reaction of those big families is to be stunned. It was not surprising to them that if Chen Jingle wanted to rebel, I was afraid that the Shence Army would not hesitate to stand on his side.

This thought made quite a few people shudder.

In addition, Chen Jingle also made people publicize that it was the soldiers of the Shence Army who exchanged their lives for temporary peace. On the one hand, it enhances the sense of honor of military soldiers, and on the other hand, it enhances the social status of the army.

History has proven that propaganda work must be done well, and the public opinion position must be in our own hands.

At the same time, eight new primary schools were built in Chang'an City to popularize basic education.

After all, the 100-year plan is education-oriented.

It's just that in this way, it completely broke the monopoly of the scholar class on knowledge, and truly achieved the eclectic reduction of talents, which can be regarded as standing on the opposite side of the scholar class.

The aristocracy in Chang'an City has extremely complicated feelings for Chen Jingle, and whenever someone touches their class interests, they will jump out of the organization desperately.

But how could Chen Jingle be afraid of these flies and dogs?

It's okay to be equinoxical, but if you are restless, you will be slaughtered as a fat sheep, and there must be people who are willing to take their place.

In fact, before the emergence of the imperial examination system, before the Ming Dynasty, the promotion of the civilian class was extremely limited, and the scholar class was still the mainstream of the imperial examination at that time.

Because ordinary people have no access to knowledge at all, they can't afford to buy books, and even others refuse to lend you books, so there is no way to break the monopoly of knowledge, so naturally there is no way to participate in the imperial examination.

This can be reflected in later textbooks such as Chengmen Lixue and Song Lian's "Sending Dongyang Horses to Life".

Chen Jingle did it, directly built a new school, plus the renovation of some of the original private schools, so that more ordinary people have the opportunity to read and write.

It doesn't matter if the family doesn't like it, just make the ordinary people afford to read.

Who dares to oppose it? Stand up and I'll see!

If it weren't for the fact that the conditions were not yet ripe, Chen Jingle would even want to try to popularize compulsory education.

In the end, I think about it, it's okay, you can't be in a hurry, and you have to eat the meal one bite at a time.

There is also a special provision in these primary schools: as long as the Tang Dynasty is still alive and the children of the soldiers who died in the Shence Army will be raised by the imperial court until they are sixteen years old, and when they reach the age of enrollment, they will all be sent to the school to study.

It is another measure to buy the loyalty of soldiers, but you have to accept it, because these are all proposed by Chen Jingle to the Tang Emperor as a national teacher and approved.

If you have an opinion, just stand up and promise not to embarrass you!

Therefore, even if the family members are unhappy, they can only hold back, and the current Shence Army only obeys the orders of one person.

……

Chen Jingle has recently been obsessed with farming development, and when he sees the policies being promoted and quickly achieving results, his heart is full of a sense of accomplishment.

A large number of talented low-level officials have been recommended and promoted and sent to the newly reconquered areas to participate in the reconstruction work, and all walks of life have regained development opportunities under the impetus of the policy.

People were surprised to find that Chang'an City was really the same every day.

Chen Jingle could finally withdraw and prepare to leave Datang for a while. But this clock Haoran came to the door again.

This time it was for his own business, because he broke through.

Chen Jingle was stunned, and said with a smile: "Zhong Daoyou, congratulations!"

I remember that Zhong Haoran made a small breakthrough last time, and this time he was directly promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, and his realm was quite stable.

Could it be that during his absence, he had some adventures?

Zhong Haoran laughed: "The national teacher has a good eye, but the old way felt something some time ago and successfully broke through. It's just that the specific reason, Lao Dao himself doesn't know, so he specially came to ask the national teacher for advice and beg for clarification. ”

"Oh?" Chen Jingle was surprised, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Zhong Haoran then took the specific situation one by one.

It turned out that when he was traveling with all the doctors of the National Hospital, he passed by a village, and it happened that there was a plague in that village, so he came to the rescue, and then came back and broke through inexplicably.

Chen Jingle was stunned, what Zhong Haoran said made him think of some possibilities, could it be the legendary merit from heaven?

He could indeed feel a trace of indescribable aura from the other party, not Li Tang Guoyun, but another trace of very subtle, but very condensed aura.

"It's supposed to be merit. Chen Jingle was surprised, he didn't expect that practicing medicine to help the world could really gain merit.

The description of merit, whether it is a Taoist or a Buddhist one, is very detailed. Then there are the various networks of the later generations that describe the merits from the other side.

Merit is especially important for cultivators, including but not limited to being used for realm breakthroughs, refining alchemy, avoiding dangers, and so on.

Those who have great merit often seek to dispel evil spirits, and all evils do not invade!

Zhong Haoran's situation undoubtedly shows that daily kindness and good deeds can also accumulate merits, and the difference is only more or less.

After all, for his realm, there won't be much merit needed to be promoted.

That's interesting.
