Chapter 187: Preparing to Collect the Net
The song is catchy, the tune is high, and what is even more rare is that the lyrics promote the idea of loyalty and patriotism.
Propaganda throughout the army has advantages and disadvantages.
Therefore, after only thinking about it a little, Li Shimin agreed to Li Jing's proposal.
Li Jing, on the other hand, took the opportunity to propose that football, wrestling and other competitions could be promoted in the army.
After Li Shimin inquired about the rules of the football game, he thought about it and readily agreed to Li Jing's proposal.
Li Shimin has taken the merger, and naturally he is very familiar with the situation in the army.
If you lead the soldiers to fight all the time, they won't be idle at all, and they won't have time to think about those things, so it's easier to bring.
And when it comes to recuperation, it is easy to have accidents.
Because when you are idle and energetic, you are prone to cranky thoughts.
At this time, blindly high pressure may be bad.
Therefore, at this time, Li Jing proposed to promote football games, and Li Shimin immediately agreed after understanding a little about the rules of football games.
Because Li Shimin knows very well what the significance of holding this football game in the army is.
And since Li Shimin promised to promote songs and football games in the army, then Cheng Yanjin and other old people dancing awkwardly on the main hall and other disrespectful things will naturally not be pursued again.
If not, Li Jing was actually not prepared to mention these things in the court, and he was ready to speak to Li Shimin in private.
Because yesterday, after Li Jing chatted with Li Su, he also unexpectedly gained some small routines.
For example, various competitions are organized in various branches of the military, such as archery competitions, riding competitions, fighting competitions, etc., and each army can decide a soldier king.
Then you can also organize a big competition for the whole army to decide a general soldier king.
In this way, only a small part of the money is used to reward those soldier kings, which can mobilize the training enthusiasm of the entire Tang Dynasty army.
Even Li Jing, the god of war, admired Li Su's proposed method.
What's more, there is more than this one that Li Su's kid proposed yesterday.
For example, it is better to conduct regular political and ideological education classes in the military.
Li Jing was a little at a loss about the word political thought.
Li Su, this kid, often comes out of his mouth with some inexplicable words.
After Li Su's explanation, Li Jing felt that this proposal was also of great significance to the construction of the Tang army.
Of course, Li Jing was not prepared to say these questions directly in the court.
If it weren't for Cheng Yanjin and other old people making such a fuss today, Li Jing wouldn't even be ready to put forward the song of self-improvement in the court.
However, when Li Jing saw that Li Shimin did not say anything else after agreeing, Li Jing began to be dissatisfied in his heart.
Li Jing couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this military song, this music, and even the football game were all created by King Liang. Lao Chen believes that meritorious ministers must be rewarded. ”
Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin was also a little helpless.
What about the merits of Su'er?
If I could, I would have won it a long time ago, wouldn't I?
The current situation was created with great difficulty by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is unwilling to undermine the current delicate situation.
Supporting a Li Tai and letting Li Tai compete with the crown prince is an imperial method.
Because Li Shimin is too young, and the age difference between the prince and him is too small, Li Shimin can feel the threat from the prince.
Therefore, Li Shimin strongly supported Li Tai and let Li Tai and the prince contend with each other.
However, there must be a good grasp of the problem here, once it is not well mastered, it may lead to a disaster.
And if he rewards Li Su according to his merits, then it is likely that Li Su will also be dragged into the battle group.
In this way, it may lead to the entire Tang Dynasty being involved in the battle for succession, which is something that Li Shimin absolutely does not want to see.
Therefore, after Li Jing finished speaking, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Wei Guogong's words are reasonable, and King Liang has contributed to Sheji, so he must be rewarded." Since this is the case, then add another 300 food seals to him! ”
Li Jing was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's stinginess, but he didn't say much.
In fact, with Li Jing's wisdom, why don't you understand that this is actually Li Shimin's protection of Li Su?
Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest wind, and it will be destroyed by everyone else!
……
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
Li Su couldn't help but come to the palace to find Li Shimin, and said: "Father, the son thinks that it's almost time to close the net. ”
Hearing Li Su's words, Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly: "This is too early, right? Where is this? It's not too late to print for another month! ”
In fact, during this time, these great families were already suspicious.
Because the number of prints by the eldest grandson Wuji every day is increasing, and now it has come to 9,000 copies per day.
According to their budget, not to mention Li Shimin's poor ghost, even with the eldest grandson Wuji's family background, he definitely can't afford to pay it.
However, why is the eldest grandson Wuji still insisting?
These great families sent countless spies to investigate this matter.
However, Li Shimin was ruthless and almost put the entire Chang'an City under martial law.
Once the emperor really wants to do something, even with the ability of these great families, he can't even think of finding out anything in a short time.
And this period of time, for Li Shimin, can be said to be the happiest period of time after he became the emperor.
It's so cool to have a feeling of coming in every day!
His investment of 5,000 yuan has finally paid off, and not only that, but now more than 200 yuan is coming in every day.
Seeing that the small treasury is filling up little by little, it can be said that it is making money every day, how can Li Shimin tolerate it being cut off like this?
Li Su explained: "Father, but with the number of our current printing, almost all of them can reach the point where six or seven households can get a book, which is too much." ”
At this time, the number of registered households in Datang was only more than 2 million. (Note, it is a household, not a person, and the largest household may have several hundred people.) )
At this time, the number of copies they printed had reached more than 300,000.
This amount does not seem to be much, and one household cannot get one.
But you know, you may not be able to find a book in a village before.
Moreover, there will inevitably be many households, no matter how cheap the price is, they will not buy it.
This amount is already a saturated number, and if you print more, it will be a real waste.
In fact, why doesn't Li Shimin understand this truth? It's just that people who are poor will be addicted to the days of making money at first glance, but it is only difficult to give up for a while.
Li Su couldn't help but persuade: "Father, in fact, we don't print these kinds of books, but we can also print other books?" You can still make money. ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Can this be the same? Printing other books can sell 9,000 books a day? Just wait to sit and count the money?
