Li Xuan couldn't guess that Song Zhiwen would do this, so naturally he couldn't guess what the Ming army would do in the future, so he could only prepare for war based on his own guess.

He unscrupulously expanded his army, not even caring whether Zhengtai County could bear the burden of nearly 4,000 troops.

He set up town and village administrative points, issued tax systems, and improved various cabinet agencies, although these seem to be just ordinary internal affairs, but Li Xuan and Liu Bagou Their biggest purpose in doing this is to prepare for war!

War is not just about having an army, they also need food, weapons and ammunition, and when the army is fighting on the front line, they need Liu Bagou and other officials in the rear to raise food, weapons and ammunition.

He expanded the army and perfected all kinds of internal affairs, and everything he did was to prepare for war!

Today's Tang Dynasty is completely a war machine, and all aspects of work are directly or indirectly serving the war.

Even in education, that's true.

Nowadays, the Department of Education under the Ministry of Rites has opened two schools, one of which is the 'Literature Hall' dedicated to training civil officials, mainly to train a large number of middle and low-level civil officials, not requiring students to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but only to be able to recognize common words, be able to write basic official documents, and at the same time be able to understand arithmetic and basic science knowledge.

The second school is the 'Engineering School', for the time being, this school is dedicated to training technical talents for many workshops under the Ministry of Industry, the workshops of the Ministry of Industry, mainly for the production of various weapons and ammunition, the technical requirements are not low.

In the past, they relied on those experienced masters and apprentices to train more technicians, but Li Xuan felt that this method was too slow, a master with apprentices, only a few people, and most of these masters themselves did not know how to read, and it was impossible to bring any more scientific knowledge to these apprentices, mainly to pass on experience.

For this reason, Li Xuan ordered to send people to follow those masters at all times, record their every move when they were working with paper and pen, and record all the data, trying to convert the experience of these masters into words, and then teach them to more people.

Finally, according to the experience of these masters, a relatively complete production process of muskets, artillery production processes, knives, spears, bullets, shells and other weapons and ammunition was sorted out.

Then from some clever and intelligent teenagers to carry out targeted rapid education, learning to make muskets will never let him spend a second to learn to make artillery, a person only learns one, in order to shorten the time for learning, Li Xuan does not need these teenagers to know what principles, as long as they remember how to make weapons.

Because what Li Xuan needs now is not a scientist, or even an engineer expert, what he needs is just a group of technical workers who can read a few words and understand basic mathematics.

And the accelerated students from the two schools of the Ministry of Rites, after entering the workplace, will also contribute to the war of the Tang Dynasty.

The schools of the Ministry of Rites are like this, not to mention the 'Martial Arts Academy' directly under the Privy Council, Li Xuan opened a school for training officers very early, and this martial arts school has trained many officers for the Datang New Army from last year to now.

Those who excel in their studies among these officers will be given the opportunity to be educated by Li Xuan personally and will be able to enter the 'Imperial Academy'.

The Imperial Academy, that is, the Imperial Academy, its biggest feature is Li Xuan's personal teaching, and the content of the teaching is not only the military knowledge sorted out by Li Xuan, but also more important science knowledge, mainly mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, and nature, a total of five subjects.

The Imperial Academy is divided into four subjects: Stepping Course, Riding Course, Artillery Course, and Baggage Subject, and students study one of them according to their personal wishes and Li Xuan's arrangement.

However, regardless of which subject, students must study the other five science subjects.

In other words, military disciplines are elective, while science is compulsory!

If these officers have been studying with Li Xuan for a year and a half, they don't dare to say how powerful they are, but there is no problem in beating the vast majority of people in this era.

The Literature Hall and the Engineering School have actually started these five science subjects, but they only have textbooks, and the teachers who teach them are still students from the Martial Arts Hall.

Even the students in the Martial Arts Academy, not everyone was able to get the opportunity to teach Li Xuan personally.

Because Li Xuan is getting busier and busier, he can't squeeze out too much time to teach in person, at present, he only teaches the first phase of the senior martial arts academy, and in the second and third phases, the teaching of these students is actually in charge of their seniors, that is, the students of the first phase, Hao Bonian and Fang Xi are responsible for them.

To put it simply, Li Xuan first taught Hao Bonian and Fang Xitong them, and then Hao Bonian and Fang Xitong taught the junior martial arts students, and then these junior martial arts students taught the students of the Literature Hall and the Engineering School, thus forming a teaching chain.

Although the effect of teaching may be a little worse if this is done, there is no way to do it, after all, Li Xuan does not have enough time to teach one by one in person.

Today's Li Xuan is very busy, he is busy with all kinds of messy things every day when he is at the Lanjiang Ferry, and occasionally goes back to Xikou Village, but he still has a lot of things to deal with, and he is finally busy, and there is an old mother, a sister, and two wives waiting for him in the harem.

His sister Princess Huichen is the easiest to coax, just bring her a fat oily pig's trotter when she comes back, or chicken legs and duck legs or something, as long as there is meat to eat, Princess Huichen is very sensible, and will never bother her royal brother.

Two wives, Ye has always been a submissive character, never daring to ask for anything, only looking at Li Xuan with a pair of big eyes, so that Li Xuan can feel guilty for not sleeping in her room for a night.

Dong Yunyun is not a trouble to deal with, Dong Yunyun, who is from a beautiful girl, is very good at being a hostess, and never causes any trouble to Li Xuan, she likes to bite and will often make a little accident.

What really gave Li Xuan a headache was the Empress Dowager Bai!

The longer he is in this era, the more he feels that his cheap mother is not simple.

is not only shrewd, but also often digs pits for Li Xuan, and says Li Xuan when he has nothing to do: Why don't you give your mother a grandson?

She has even brought a doctor to see him several times in a row.

However, after connecting several doctors to see it, they all said that there was nothing wrong with Li Xuan's body, and he couldn't compare to not giving up after the day, Li Xuan returned to Xikou Village this day, and just after dealing with the backlog of affairs outside, he heard the guards beside him say: "Your Majesty, after the Queen Mother asked you to go back to the palace, go to her!" ”

Li Xuan immediately said, "Did she let the doctor come over again?" ”

The guards beside him nodded and said, "I heard from the people in the palace that the Queen Mother did summon a doctor this afternoon!" ”

Li Xuan was speechless when he heard this, forget it, since the Empress Dowager Bai has brought the doctor, she can just go by herself, if she doesn't go, the Empress Dowager Bai will probably be able to bring the doctor directly to the door later.

Datang claims to respect filial piety, but Li Xuan needs to put on a gesture of filial piety to outsiders, even if he thinks this, but who is the Empress Dowager Bai? That is a fierce woman who dares to spray all the courtiers with blood, and naturally she will not be very polite to Li Xuan's son.

Li Xuan, the emperor, really can't put on an emperor's stand in front of the Empress Dowager Bai.

After arriving at the Empress Dowager Bai's side, as expected, the Empress Dowager Bai saw Li Xuan coming over and said, "Emperor, come here, let Doctor Wan show you!" ”

Li Xuan looked up and saw a white-haired old man standing in front of the Empress Dowager Bai, who didn't dare to breathe.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Bai said again: "This Doctor Bai is one of the top doctors in our Zhengtai County, and the mourning family has spent a lot of effort to invite him!" ”

Li Xuan was a little puzzled, is it still troublesome to ask a doctor?

But he didn't know that the white-haired old man in front of him agreed with Empress Dowager Bai's words very much, and she really spent a lot of effort in order to invite herself.

That was a few nights ago, several people were sent to sneak into Zhengtai County, and the most famous doctor in Zhengtai County was directly kidnapped, and even in order to let him do his best to see Li Xuan, the Empress Dowager Bai threatened to lure Qi Shang, as long as Li Xuan's illness could be cured, so that their old Li family would not be cut off from the incense, then a reward of 100 taels of silver.

But if it can't be cured or there is something wrong with the treatment, the Empress Dowager Bai didn't say anything, just snorted coldly twice and scared the poor old man half to death.

There is no doubt that it is okay if it can't be cured, if Li Xuan has something good in the process of treatment, Empress Dowager Bai will definitely turn into a yaksha in an instant, and it is possible to slaughter all the old man's family.

What Empress Dowager Bai cares about most is not the Tang Dynasty, and even Princess Huichen is not what she cares about, but what she cares about most is her precious son.

The doctor Wan, who was obviously intimidated, began to check Li Xuan's pulse with trembling, and then carefully looked at Li Xuan, in the process of seeing a doctor, this old doctor can be regarded as regaining the spirit of a famous doctor, and his body is no longer trembling, but a calm and calm appearance.

But he didn't speak for a long time, not only did Empress Dowager Bai feel anxious, but even Li Xuan felt that there was something wrong with it, so he didn't speak for so long, and looking at his hesitant look, could it be that there was something wrong with his body?

It's impossible, since he and Dong Yunyun started their Yunyu life, every time they are quite violent, whether it is hardness or staying power, they are quite considerable, and the two doctors before also said that they have no problem after reading it, as for the question of whether it is a woman, there is basically no doubt about this, if it is just Dong Yunyun who is not pregnant, then it can be so doubtful, but Dong Yunyun, Ye and Zhu'er are not pregnant, this is obviously not a woman's problem.

Thinking like this, Li Xuan became more and more suspicious that something might really be wrong with his body!

At this time, Empress Dowager Bai spoke: "Doctor Wan, if you have something to say!" ”

Li Xuan also said: "Doctor, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

This is, Doctor Wan said with hesitation: "Your Majesty's pulse is stable, and there is nothing suspicious from the complexion!" ”

When I heard this, it was no different from the two doctors in front of me, but since this was the case, why did this doctor Wan still hesitate.

There's definitely something wrong here!

Could it be that Lao Tzu is really sick?
