Chapter 754: To Itiel
Even an ordinary policy, from deliberation to implementation, is not an overnight thing, let alone the reform of the imperial power system.
Sun Xiangfu chatted with Li Shimin like this, but it was just a draft on his psychological side, how to really change it, he can accept it, and it is actually easy to use, and he needs to consider it himself, Sun Xiangfu is at most just in the general direction, reminding him of the importance of public opinion.
In fact, after opening the idea of restricting the rights of the monarch and courtiers, there are still many ways, what Sun Xiangfu thinks may not be comprehensive, and there are also many wise people in the Tang Dynasty who can give advice to Li Shimin, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang and others.
Ma Zhou suggested to Li Shimin that the royal family should further reduce the amount of money provided to the royal family, so that they can find their own ways to fight for it, and they can't be rice worms.
Chu Suiliang suggested that the talents of all princes should be included in the assessment mechanism, so that all descendants within three generations of descendants have the opportunity to win the position of crown prince, and take virtue and talent as the only criterion for selecting princes, so that all princes who want to enter politics within three generations of descendants can study harder and win the future for themselves.
The eldest grandson Wuji is the most ruthless, it is recommended that all the children of the royal family complete their basic studies before they become adults, and then enter the army, start from small soldiers, and receive at least three years of training.
As for the courtiers, the rules and regulations can ensure that the officials are clear to a certain extent, but it is not absolute, and everyone knows the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish.
However, the level of the highest-level officials must be different, and if you want to achieve the level of the ten Shangshu and the major group armies or above, you need to have a certain amount of support from the will of the people and the military, and the prime minister must come out of these people.
He also suggested that Li Shimin expand the use of the kind of public opinion voting system that turns interns into regular ones.
Of course, his suggestion is a little different from Sun Xiangfu's, the support of public opinion, in some major matters, it can not play a decisive role, it is only a basic condition for officials to achieve the top level, among the many people with basic conditions, the emperor will choose one of them to appoint, that is, reflect the importance of imperial power, and there will be no big mistakes.
When all the courtiers are thinking about how to make the system more perfect and effective, the political level of the whole country will continue to improve, and only this continuous improvement can make the system able to deal with more complex problems, in addition, there are some passive factors to promote the improvement of the political level.
On Chinese New Year's Eve of another year, the children of the Sun family wore very festive clothes and attended the Spring Festival Gala held regularly at the Qujiang Grand Theater every year.
The scale of the performances here has become larger and larger, and it is getting more and more high-grade, even people like Sun Xiangfu who have watched the TV Spring Festival Gala in later generations have to admire the creativity of the Chinese nation in these aspects.
It's just that the emperor Li Yuan has just passed away, so the theme of the party is a bit plain, mainly to praise Li Yuan's merits and mourn the old ministers who have passed away, which makes some ignorant children in various families a little boring.
So, outside the opera house, a large group of half-sized children gathered to tinker in the parking lot, and parked a long row of steam locomotives.
Now, behind the front of these steam locomotives is not a tractor's trailer, but a series of exquisitely decorated carriages, with very comfortable sofas and various exquisite upholstered window designs.
Although, because of the roar of the steam engine, the comfort of sitting in it is not as good as that of a human-powered five-wheeler, but who calls it the most advanced!
Even if you sit on it, you have to endure the smell of smoke to a certain extent, as well as the noise of potholes, but this is not a matter for its owner, this kind of feeling that I have you don't have, is what the powerful like the most.
Therefore, in Sun Xiangfu's opinion, these people who use tractors as cars are stupid all over their bodies, but his daughter-in-law Yu Xiuer asked people to send several to their homes.
Since Li Shimin changed this tractor as a car, the ministers began to follow suit, anyway, now the factory in Weinan, anything on the production line, the output will become very large, the first month of the steam locomotive mass production of dozens of units, a few months, the car factory at the price of 20,000 yuan, sold hundreds of units, almost all the top elites have more than one, of course, at present, this thing, only the magnates of the Tang Dynasty are qualified to own, not allowed to take out.
With these novelties, naturally the children of the powerful families played with it, no, soon, something happened.
Chai Shao's son Chai Lingwu is now the eldest in Chang'an, he has long planned to organize the first motor vehicle event in Datang, and it is a good opportunity for the cars to come so together today.
Under his organization, dozens of tractors, starting from the Opera House Square, ran to Times Square in the city, and whoever won the first place could get 20,000 yuan, that is, the money of a car.
Not long after, dozens of tractors for the next game were driven by some gentlemen who were willing to win, and on the road, there was a sudden uneven sound of chattering and chattering, as well as the scene of you chasing me.
Sun Jing, the second son of the grandson family, Sun Feng, and the eldest daughter Sun Wanting are all there, each driving a tractor, and they have also assigned their younger siblings to help them press the car in the carriage.
In the hands of the half-grown children who don't know much about tractors, there are almost inevitable collisions, and even continuous overturns, fortunately, the carriages of these cars are specially made for the rich and noble, and the inside are bound very soft and comfortable cashmere blankets, and the maximum speed, also like this twenty kilometers per hour, is not as fast as a horse, so there are no deaths or serious injuries, just a kowtow to a group of little guys, otherwise, it will be a big disaster.
This crazy racing on Chinese New Year's Eve made this gang of children in Chang'an City famous overnight, and it became a landmark event in history, because it gave birth to a relatively complete traffic law.
Therefore, after the beginning of the year, Chu Suiliang has something to do again, and there are many things to consider in revising a brand-new traffic law that is applicable to the future.
At least, at the scene of the car accident, Sun Xiangfu said a few points, such as motor vehicles, only people with a driver's license are allowed to drive, how to avoid driving on the road, how to investigate the responsibility for collisions, etc., all of which are stipulated in detail, I am afraid that I will have to have a lot of copywriting, and many people need to implement it, but this must be done.
Because, in the future, Datang's cars will only increase, faster and faster, once the steam engine technology goes further, I am afraid, it will be everywhere in ten or twenty years.
In fact, similar problems are not only exposed here, but also to do things as soon as possible, you can consider the long-term future, promote Datang's people's livelihood management system, and infrastructure planning, move towards a more perfect, develop the habit of long-term vision, like Datang's future road, can not be as sloppy as it is now.
At this point, even Sun Xiangfu is extremely confident that the Tang Dynasty will be able to rule the Eurasian continent, because it has been making rapid progress and already has the ability to manage the Eurasian continent in the short term.
In February of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Sun Xiangfu set out from Chang'an, officially embarked on the road of envoy to Byzantium, all the way to the north, took Shanyang, passed Dingxiang, went to Ulaanbaatar, and then turned west, entered the city of Itier Prefecture, this way, a long distance was spent in the ice and snow weather, walking relatively slowly, and when the real city of Itir Prefecture rested, it was already June.
"I didn't expect to see you here." At the gate of the city, seeing Xue Li and Xi Junmai, who had a big beard and a bit of Hu taste, Sun Xiangfu said with some emotion.
"Aren't people like us the best candidates to be the escort army, and they are commanding the war, which is what the boys from the military academy do." Xi Junmai said in a somewhat lonely tone.
When a person finds that the skills he has cultivated are becoming more and more useless, what kind of mood will he feel, only they can understand, fortunately, Datang still has a triennial sports conference that can make them show their faces, otherwise, he doesn't want to mix in the barracks.
"What's the matter, you haven't eaten my words back then! There is no fighting, that's a good thing, isn't it good to eat and drink every day and have a baby. Sun Xiangfu punched him in the chest.
"Hehe, he is just depressed that he can't compare to the juniors of those military academies, and now, he can only be organized into a second-line unit specializing in escort and rescue." Xue Li made a joke on the side, and Xi Junmai, who was punched in the chest, but didn't shake it, shrank his neck a little embarrassed.
Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Escort and rescue are not second-line troops, but the division of labor is different, in the future, maybe this will be the main responsibility of the soldiers, and it is the department with the most work."
So! Don't think that you are inferior to others, but think more about this skill, systematically train all kinds of rescue and escort training among the subordinate sergeants, and for a long time to come, point to such an army to protect the safety of the people. ”
"If that's the case, this soldier deserves it."
When Xi Junmai was a teenager, he had a dream of being a super hero, robbing homes and houses, and saving poor people.
Now it seems that in fact, to save the poor people, there is no need to rob homes and houses, just be a competent soldier.
In later generations, aren't all the soldiers of our country heroes who stood up when the people were in danger?
After a short time, the three of them chatted and came to the military camp in the city of Itiel, which was the only place in the newly built city that had been built perfectly.
A huge sand table was placed in the center of the tent, and before Sun Xiangfu arrived, the supreme commander here was Feng Zhidai.
However, at this time he was not in the city of Itir, but more than two thousand miles away, on a dock on the Black Sea coast, where there was a newly built dock in which steamships were being assembled.
If you take the land from the city of Itiel, it will take more than ten days to enter the territory of the Byzantine Empire, and moreover, it will take another ten days to reach Constantinople, and if you take a steamer and cross the Black Sea, the whole time can be shortened to less than half a month.
However, a team of more than 10,000 people needs a lot of ships, and the steamer has only a few here, or a small and medium-sized passenger ship with a similar draft as the Prince, and a boat can only carry two or three hundred people, and they also need to bring a lot of requisitioned materials, so the army has also collected a lot of sailing ships to transport goods in the local area.
