Chapter 373: One Sentence

This story now also makes Li Chengqian understand that even if he is an emperor, he has to think twice about making a decision.

It's not hard to make a decision, but it's hard to make up for it if it's wrong.

What is wrong is wrong, and no matter how much you try to make up for it, it is impossible to get back what has been lost, so you can only find a way to prevent similar things from happening again.

Looking back at my plan now, it seems that I was wrong.

Because at the beginning of the fight, Li Chengqian put himself on the cusp, if he went directly to Guangzhou and let Duan Zhixuan or Li Jing come to Jiaozhou, I am afraid that the current situation will be different.

It's a pity that there is no if, and now his decision has made a big mistake.

Veterans from all over Datang are trying to find a way to return to the barracks, because here they can get better treatment, both for themselves and their children.

The military has become the most attractive place, and no one wants to leave easily.

Later generations often said that good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve soldiers.

But in this day and age, this statement is wrong, and it is very wrong.

Only good men will go to the army, and for ordinary poor people, being a soldier is also their only way out, otherwise they will have only one way to go, work in the family farm, live a life of relying on the sky for food, and will never be rich, and they don't know when they will starve to death.

And although the tax is not heavy, it is always a burden for the people, so the government soldiers can't enter, and most of those who can't get through will choose to go to the border, because there are people in the border to take care of the food, and they can also be exempted from taxes, which indirectly reduces the burden on the family.

Li Jing did not return to the military reform yamen, this time even Li Yuanjing's persuasion did not work, now he just wrote down some of his own experiences with peace of mind, and then waited to go home to recuperate.

At this time, Li Yuanjing's identity no longer needs to be hidden, of course, what is announced to the outside world is that the crown prince was recalled by the emperor, and then King Zhao will take over the military reform.

This is also done to save some face for the prince, so as not to make it difficult for him in the future.

However, the three families who received Li Yuanjing's summons were sad at this time.

One eldest grandson Wuji is enough to give them a headache, and now there is another King Zhao.

Although King Zhao is not very old, if they can choose, they prefer to choose the eldest grandson Wuji.

Because King Zhao is younger, the short contact also makes them unable to see through the depths, and this time the emperor can send King Zhao to take over this matter, which naturally means that in the emperor's opinion, King Zhao has this ability, which aggravates their worries even more.

"I don't know that His Highness is coming, the ministers have lost their etiquette and have not greeted them from afar, and I hope that His Highness will forgive ...... sin" Shi Wei and the others lowered their heads and asked for sin, and their attitudes naturally did not say.

"Some words are for the outside, but some words are for you, and this king is here with the crown prince!" Li Yuanjing said directly.

Dealing with these local wealthy families, Li Yuanjing did not feel any pressure.

Even when dealing with the five surnames and seven wangs, Li Yuanjing didn't have much pressure, not to mention that now that the instability factors within Datang have been resolved, do you still need to worry about dealing with these families in Lingnan?

There is no need for anything, and if they want to rebel, the only way is for their people to stand up.

The Centennial Family looks huge, but compared to the family, it is still far behind, how many clansmen can they have?

Three or five hundred?

Or one or two thousand?

It can be said arrogantly that even if the garrison is not used, the guards here alone can destroy them.

"What...... What the? The faces of Shi Wei and the others changed greatly.

This result was something they didn't expect in any case, King Zhao actually came with the crown prince.

That is to say, what they did, King Zhao saw it in his eyes?

But why didn't King Zhao make a move in advance? But let the prince do whatever he wanted?

Don't......

Shi Wei and the others thought of a terrible possibility, perhaps, this was a layout for them from the beginning.

And they rushed into it with self-righteousness, the prince may be really immature, but what if King Zhao is trying to use the prince's immaturity to make them lax?

"Please forgive your sins...... Tao Li trembled and fell to his knees.

If Li Yuanjing had set up a game for them at the beginning, then it would definitely not be over now by coming out to scare them.

Beat? What to fight?

Mobilize ordinary people to revolt? They may not listen to themselves now, and even if they do, it is useless, and most of them still expect to join the army.

Moreover, the prince also revealed information that the imperial court will set up a lot of workshops in Lingnan next, and more people will be needed to work at that time.

How could they, who had already seen the hope of life, follow them, the desperate exploiters, to rebel?

Therefore, from the very beginning of the military reform, this result was doomed.

The reason for the result depends on what role they play in it.

But unfortunately, they didn't play well here.

"Prince, how to deal with these people is left to you!" Li Yuanjing did not answer directly, but continued to throw the question to the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out a little blankly, he would never have thought that such a complicated problem would be solved by Li Yuanjing in one sentence?

Before that, he had made up countless pictures and methods in his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable way.

"Take their people to Chang'an!" Li Chengqian thought for a while and said.

If it had been before, he would definitely have ordered the guilty, the guan, and the killing.

But now, he hadn't figured out what to do with these people, and under the influence of the previous conversation, Li Chengqian also felt that he couldn't be impulsive.

But you can't be impulsive, and you don't know what to do, so take it with you and think of a way slowly along the way......

Several local wealthy clans knelt on the ground like lost dogs at this moment, and their former self-confidence and pride instantly dissipated, and they were so helpless in the face of the imperial court.

Solving the problem of these local wealthy families does not mean that the problem of the entire Lingnan has been solved.

On the contrary, the problem of military reform is the smallest problem, which can be solved slowly with the passage of time, and can be rushed over after the troops gathered in Guangzhou have completed their adaptation.

In two or three months, the military reform will be initially completed, and all that remains is to train in accordance with the new rules and then enhance its combat effectiveness.

What is really difficult to do is at the level of the government, the power of these three families in the government is not small, taking away so many people will inevitably lead to the emptiness of the place, and Li Daoxing's control of Jiaozhou is almost equal to zero, which is the most headache for Li Yuanjing.

But he really didn't want to stay in Jiaozhou, and there was no point in staying, so he finally set his sights on Li Jing: "Senior Brother Yao, Jiaozhou will be handed over to you for the time being, and during this time, I will help the king of Guangning, and after the king returns to the court, he will urge His Majesty to send a suitable person as soon as possible!" ”
