Lee An-min retired.

Li Ze personally served as the chairman of the Military Council, while at the same time, Li Anmin retired from the center of power and took up the post of Dazong Zheng instead. This position is to manage the royal family and some of the businesses owned by the royal family. In view of the simplicity of Li Ze's family, this job, compared with the previous military department book, is really very idle.

The only thing that can make Li Anmin worry about dim sum is the business owned by the royal family.

Speaking of which, the royal family has a lot of business. However, unlike in the past, the business of the royal family is now inconspicuous. There are very few people who really bear the royal name, and Lingxian is one of the more famous. Li Ze's real business is all hidden in those large trading companies.

Like Boxing Shangxing, the royal family owns 20% of the shares.

In the ocean trade of Jinmantang, the royal family owns 30% of the shares.

With shares like this, the operations are all done by Xia He. With the exception of a very small part, outsiders do not know the truth at all.

It's just that in the past, whenever Li Ze was short of money, he stuffed all these dividends into the national stocks. As the saying goes, there is no distinction between home and country.

But that's different now.

The first thing Li Ze had to do was to make a clear distinction between his home and his country.

In the future, if the court is short of money, it can borrow money from him, but he will not take out the money for free. Li Anguo is doing these things.

To be honest, when Xia He put the account book in front of Li Anmin's eyes, Li Anmin's eyes were about to bulge when he saw the total amount of profits in the last year.

He has always thought that they Li are the poorest royal family.

Originally, the land owned by the Li family was taken away by Li Ze and divided it free of charge, and almost all the shops were sold to subsidize the imperial court in the most difficult financial situation over the years, and the only thing Li Ze did not sell was the Zhuangzi under Daqing Mountain.

The royal family, which does not even have an imperial village, can be said to be the first in the world.

But now, Li Anmin knows that his nephew is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. On the surface, the poor are clanging, and they can be a model for officials in the world, but secretly, they are the richest people in the world. If Li Ze doesn't throw money into the bottomless pit of the imperial court.

People who don't know about the Northern Tang Dynasty court think that the Northern Tang Dynasty must be very rich. But Li Anmin knew that the court was not without money, but it really had no extra money. The year's income has not yet been pocketed, and there is already a plan for how to spend it. So once something happens unexpectedly, you need to look around for money.

Otherwise, Xia He, who was still a scholar at the time, would not have been thinking about issuing banknotes.

Li Anmin retreated, and You Yong returned to his position as the secretary of the military department, but after going down to become a general, he came back to enter the palace for the second time, and the weight was very different. The position of the secretary of the military department can be concurrently held by the number two person in the military council. The reason why he chose You Yong is because his combat exploits are enough, and more importantly, because he is old enough. In the current situation, You Yong can still play an extremely important role.

Because in the current Tang army, the number of people of the older generation in power is still quite large.

"Your Majesty, the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf has been carried out so far, and the effect of the first stage has been perfectly achieved." You Yong said with a smile: "Without much effort, we have already occupied a large piece of land in Jiangxi, and next, we can also take a piece of land in Hunan." ”

"But that's the limit of our power projection now, isn't it?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to launch a large-scale unification war against the south now, then now is the limit of our strength." You Yong nodded and said, "After all, fighting a war requires all-round cooperation, and all levels need to be fully prepared. And this time the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is purely a small-scale test of the forward legion. It doesn't cost much, it's the best, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. We are already overjoyed to have achieved the immediate results. ”

"Liu Xinda's performance is indeed beyond our imagination, or he can create a greater miracle for us." Li Ze smiled: "Since it has been carried out to this stage, what is the next step?" ”

"The next step has been fully taken over by the Intelligence Committee." You Yong smiled: "Next, I think Mr. Gongsun and Tian Bo will report to you in detail." The army has taken a back seat from the dominant position, and has only appeared in the plan as a co-ordinator. ”

"Indeed, when Liu Xinda crosses Hunan, we will be beyond the reach of the whip." Li Zedao. "With Mr. Gongsun's means, I think this arrangement will continue for many years to come, now plant the seed, and then water and fertilize it unhurriedly, watch him take root and sprout, watch the blossoms and bear fruit, and finally when the fruit is ripe, go and pick it home to enjoy the sweet delicacy."

You Yong laughed: "This is Mr. Gongsun's style." However, compared with the past, Mr. Gongsun has changed a lot, at least the plan has become magnificent, in the past, Mr. Gongsun's best thing is to kill the household! After he arrived at His Majesty's side, he has changed a lot over the years. His Majesty had a great influence on him. ”

After saying this, Li Ze also laughed.

"After you come back, are you still used to it?" Li Ze asked.

"The army is cool, once the order is issued, everything is obeyed, and there will never be two words." You Yong said: "Actually, I prefer the atmosphere in the army, but since Your Majesty wants me to come back, I naturally have no hesitation." The first feeling after coming back was that there had indeed been a great change, and that the current military committee was much more powerful than the military department in the past. ”

"The Military Commission oversees all the armed forces of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Jing'an Army or the reserves, all of them must be included in the jurisdiction of the Military Commission, and the rights will naturally be much greater, but correspondingly, the responsibilities will be much greater." Li Zedao: "These were not available in the past, let's explore step by step and move forward step by step." Don't be afraid of mistakes, if you make mistakes, quickly change them, and don't leave a legacy for future generations. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, in the past five years, I will definitely do my best to do things well." You Yong nodded.

At You Yong's age, he knows very well that he is only this vice chairman, just a transitional position, and after five years, he will definitely abdicate and become a virtuous, just looking at the current composition of the military committee, it is very clear that Li Ze is already starting to train young people. And five years later, I am afraid that the older generation of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty will talk about the historical stage.

In the past five years, he has actually done two important tasks, one is to cooperate with Li Ze to complete the reform of the army, and the other is to use his qualifications to appease the older generation of soldiers, so that they can smoothly hand over power to the younger generation and complete the natural transition.

The army is a sharp weapon, and the stability of the army can be said to be the top priority of a country. As long as the army is stable, then the country, even if there are some minor problems, will not touch the roots.

"After we occupy part of the land in Jiangxi, Li Mi estimates that there will be some small-scale military clashes with the Jiangxi Observation Envoy army, but it should not expand into large-scale military battles. Qian Wenzhong's personality is bound to retreat, and in the end we can completely take over and effectively rule this area. You Yong flipped through the file in his hand and pulled the topic back: "And Yueyang's Shi Zhuang is ready to increase military pressure on Ding Taiyi. It is convenient for Liu Xinda to completely take Xiangtan, Xiangtan is too close to Tanzhou, and it also belongs to the core area of Ding Taiji's rule, once Liu Xinda really succeeds in Xiangtan, the blow to Ding Taiyi will be extremely significant. At that time, maybe Ding Taiyi will reach some agreement with us in order to ensure that Xiangtan can be recovered from Liu Xinda. ”

"Are you saying that Ding Taiyi may take some places to exchange Xiangtan with us, so that when he recovers Xiangtan, we won't take advantage of the fire to rob!" Li Ze asked.

"Yes, Shi Zhuang thinks so, Xiangtan is too close to Tanzhou, it is the core interest of Ding Taiyi, if we really occupy this place, Ding Taiyi will fight with us, in this case, it is better to exchange Xiangtan for some places that we can actually control."

"Shi Zhuang has always been very shrewd!" Li Ze said with a smile.

Shi Zhuang said that after all this is done, the rest of the matter will be handed over to the Economic Development Commission, how to draw blood from Hunan, how to squeeze out Hunan's interests, make them increasingly tired, and finally let their rule falter, it depends on the actions of the Economic Development Commission. You Yong said: "When all this is completed, the army will give the opponent another fatal blow." ”

"Let's do it according to this plan!" Li Ze said with satisfaction. "The affairs of the south, for the time being, can only be done to this extent. Now Han Qi is fighting in Heilongjiang, and the army under the command of Li De and Yeluqi is driving everywhere to capture those Fanyi tribes, and Han Qi wants to force all these people out of the remote place, drive them out, and then concentrate on living near the city, so that they can settle down and become people rooted in the land. In Goryeo, Tan Dao-je has already organized an expeditionary force of 10,000 men, and with the cooperation of our naval division, he is already preparing for an expedition to Ryukyu. The corresponding detailed documents should arrive in Chang'an soon. ”

"The control of this army in Goryeo should be in our hands!" You Yongdao.

"Of course, eighty percent of the officers above the rank of lieutenant in this army are our officers from the Tang Dynasty stationed in Goryeo." Li Ze nodded and said, "Where are our officers, temporarily raise the second-level temporary military rank to command this army." Tan Daozhen is the supreme commander of this army. ”

You Yong nodded with satisfaction: "The place taken down is naturally our Datang." ”

"Compared with these small fights, Tubo is now our top priority." Li Ze took a deep breath: "I hope that in the next two years, the Tibetan issue will be completely resolved." ”
