Chapter 245: Compulsory Reading and Martial Arts

The Tang people have a long history of grievances with the Turks.

Although, now because the Tang Dynasty is strong, it can make the Turkic people submit.

But Li Chengqian is very clear.

The steppe people are naturally aggressive and have always pursued the respect of the strong.

Once one day, the Central Plains Dynasty is weakened, they will definitely make a comeback.

At that time, it will be the people of the Tang Dynasty who will suffer.

Therefore, no matter what Li Chengqian does, he always pursues a principle.

That is to make the old Turkic people completely integrate into the Tang Dynasty at all costs and become an inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty.

And Li Chengqian didn't stay with Liu Min for too long.

He just explained that he wanted Liu Min to help him hire laborers.

He took Hou Junji and Wuwu out of Yanmen Pass and continued to travel north, going straight to the Hetao area.

……

After the Hetao Plain reached the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

Here is an alluvial plain along the Yellow River, with a zigzag Yellow River bay.

It is composed of the Xitao Plain east of Helan Mountain, the Houtao Plain and the Qiantao Plain south of Guwolf Mountain and Daqing Mountain.

There is not only grassland suitable for raising horses, but also flat terrain, better soil quality, and the benefits of irrigation by the Yellow River.

It is perfect to use this place as an agricultural base.

Li Chengqian, Hou Junji, and worry-free three people stand in Gaogang.

They looked at the vast grassland in front of them, and they inevitably felt a sense of heroism in their hearts.

However, Hou Junji and Wuwu have limited ink in their stomachs, and they can't say a few words to sigh at their current mood.

Therefore, both of them looked at Li Chengqian in unison.

Looking at that look, it seems that I want to hear Li Chengqian recite poetry.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but slowly speak: "The blue sky is getting higher and higher, and the jade dragon is bewitching. The boundless green and green are herded by sheep, and a horse flies and sings drunk and blue night. ”

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

It seems that in this world, there is no more apt verse.

The grassland, whether in spring or autumn, has a unique beauty.

In spring, the sky is green.

In autumn, a golden color spreads.

Li Chengqian pointed to the grassland in front of him and said: "In the future, this place will become the grain production land of my Datang." ”

"In the future, no one in my Datang people will go hungry, let alone sell their sons and daughters for food."

"In the future, the prestige of my Datang will surely spread to all corners of the world."

"In the future, the Six Yi Kingdoms will definitely surrender to the feet of my Tang Dynasty."

Listen to his bold words.

Hou Junji is also surging.

When he looked at Li Chengqian, he was almost the same as the look he showed when he looked at Li Shimin.

He said slightly: "I only hope that one day, His Royal Highness can bring my old marquis." ”

"Even if I can't lift the knife that day, I will lead the horse for His Highness."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked back at Hou Junji with a lot of thoughts.

If you use one sentence to describe the early Tang Dynasty, it is mighty and earth-shattering.

And the formation of these five words, as well as these famous and history-shaking generals.

Qin Shubao, Wei Chigong, Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing, Li Tao, Chai Shao, Li Daozong......

These fierce generals led the tens of millions of Tang Dynasty sons and daughters to spread the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to all over the world.

Even in Li Chengqian's time, the sons and daughters of China overseas would be called Tang people.

But......

They will grow old one day.

When they get old, what should Datang do?

Will it still fall into an era of scarcity like in the previous life?

Will it be like in the previous life, the prosperity will decline, and it will fall off the altar at its peak?

No, it won't.

Because this time, Li Chengqian is here.

No matter what, he will do his best to build Datang into a steel world.

To quote a stalk from later generations, that is, to let future children do not need to learn foreign languages, just learn Chinese to travel all over the world.

……

After returning to Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian ran directly to Li Shimin's imperial study.

At this time, Li Shimin was busy reviewing the folds.

Recently, there have been a lot of things in the court, so he is also a little upset.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, he didn't raise his head and said, "I have something to say." ”

Before Li Chengqian could speak, he added: "I don't want money." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Did you ask for money written on your face?

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not here to ask for money." ”

"And what are you here for?"

Li Shimin glanced up at Li Chengqian: "If it's okay and you just want to talk nonsense with me, then get out of here as soon as possible, be careful that I beat you." ”

"Hey......

Li Chengqian laughed and walked up to Li Shimin.

"I thought of one thing, I wanted to talk to my father."

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian's honest smile and said, "You kid shouldn't have thought of any ghost ideas, right?" ”

"I can tell you, I don't have the leisure to talk to you right now."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm talking about business."

Li Chengqian restrained his smile and said: "I just want to ask my father, what do you think of the Tang Dynasty now, how are the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and how are the generals ......of the Tang Dynasty?"

What about Datang?

Some time ago, Li Yuan also said that under Li Shimin's governance, the Tang border is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Isn't that good?

And the Tang Dynasty officials are even simpler, aren't the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others capable enough?

Finally, he is talking about this Tang general.

I'm afraid that throughout the history of China, I can't choose a stronger existence than the Tang Dynasty military generals.

Thinking about it this way, isn't it nonsense for Li Chengqian to ask this?

Li Shimin said with a dark face: "You kid is here to talk nonsense to me?" ”

"Of course not."

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said: "The current Datang is strong in literature and martial arts, but has my father ever thought about what will happen to Datang in the future?" ”

"Could it be that the Wenchen train of the Tang Dynasty will really always have talents like Uncle Fang and Uncle Fang?"

"Could it be that the military generals of the Tang Dynasty will really always have strong people like my master and Uncle Li?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin paused.

He never seemed to think about it.

In the future, will Datang really achieve the goal that talents will never wither?

Will Datang really continue to prosper in the future?

Li Shimin put down the fold in his hand and said, "Say, what did you think of." ”

"The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is certainly relatively fair."

"But inevitably, there are still drawbacks."

Li Chengqian said directly: "For example, what if the people don't want their children to study? ”

"It's okay if that kid is mediocre, but if that kid is a talent, is there one less talent in my Datang?"

"In the same way, if this kid is not suitable for learning literature but is suitable for practicing martial arts, then if he doesn't practice martial arts, will my Datang have one less brave general who can fight in battle?"

"Besides, my Datang now has an evaluation route for literati, but there is no evaluation route for military generals."

"Only by joining the army, only by performing well in the army, can you be promoted to general."

"But Father, have you ever thought that our Tang Dynasty doesn't have wars every year."

"Aren't those people who really have the ability to be buried again?"

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said: "Only the talents of Datang will never wither, and Datang can always be strong." ”

"Therefore, I would like to propose to my father that after the completion of the academy in China, the school-age children in the country will be forced to study, and martial arts will be opened to select strong generals......"
