Chapter 220: Troop Increase
"In this case, spread my will, send a total of 50,000 people from the Khitan, Hui and Turks to the island, and hire Murowei, Dangxiang, and Ya people to go, and the personnel are not limited as long as they are young and strong, and the rewards will be increased.
Spread the message to Lingnan, Jiangnan increased shipbuilding efforts. Before the beginning of spring, as many captives as possible were brought back to help with spring ploughing. Looking at the map, Li Shimin thought that he could take Goguryeo lightly, so he was excited in his heart and gave a loud order.
"As for the generals, the young generals can be transferred, and the Wei Guogong can arrange it, after all the nobles, families, merchants, and craftsmen, all those who are literate and have merit with the Tang Dynasty, who have not been a scholar, and those who have good conduct can all go to Wei Zheng to sign up." Li Shimin paused and continued.
"Your Ministers obey!"
With Li Shimin's will, it has caused a lot of discussion in Datang, but it is basically a good side, because the people have more prisoners to work, the tax has been reduced and reduced many times in recent years, and the labor is much less.
The happiest thing is the merchant, the craftsman with this holy decree, which means that not only now, but also in the future, the court will appoint more descendants of the family, all because the court is expanding and needs more manpower, but also because the person who is still fighting on the island is the one who has been fighting for the status of the merchant and the craftsman.
Hanmen scholars, now Datang can't find empty Hanmen scholars, Shuofang asked for a part, Liaoxi asked for a part, and more were divided into the political department, colleges, schools, martial arts institutes, prisoner management offices, etc., there is no place that is not bad.
Li Shimin always found that in the past, there were many people in Chang'an City who sat in wine shops every day and talked loudly, and all departments of the imperial court were asking for small officials from them, from the first shrewd talents, to now as long as they are literate.
There are also a lot fewer people in the court every day, because more and more people are arranged to do practical things outside, but although there are fewer people, there are more and more things missing, not gossip, not nonsense, all of them are the twists and turns of various departments and state roads.
"Second brother, it's time for you to take a break." The eldest grandson walked up to Li Shimin with the child in his arms and persuaded him.
Li Shimin put down the fold in his hand, looked at the child in the arms of his eldest grandson, hugged him with a gentle smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay to pass these days!" ”
"But there's war going on again?" The eldest grandson was very sensitive to the fact that because only before the war, Li Shimin would be very busy.
"It's just a trivial matter, your good son-in-law has won several battles in a row on Wajima, and captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners, no, there are too many prisoners and there are not enough people, so I want manpower." Li Shimin happily explained.
"Hundreds of thousands? Why haven't the concubines heard of it, and Chang'an City didn't react at all? The eldest grandson asked in disbelief, covering his mouth.
"I also think it's strange, in the past, I was very happy to defeat the Koubian Turks once, and celebrated a lot, but now Wadao has captured five big cities, several small cities, and captured 67,000 prisoners, but everyone takes it for granted, even I am the same, I am really puzzled." Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise.
"The concubine thinks that this is the Tang Dynasty becoming stronger, so everyone thinks that this is normal, and the Japanese slaves are just a small island, victory is normal, if it fails, it is a strange thing that deserves everyone's attention." Changsun Jiao said with a smile.
"Haha, it's true, Datang has been a lot stronger in recent years, but it has never dared to expand with all its strength due to the constraints of the population." Li Shimin said with a laugh.
"Second brother, why be anxious, you have only been on the throne for two years, Datang is already so powerful, as long as it develops steadily, it will definitely stand alone in the world." The eldest grandson stood beside him and said gently.
The eldest grandson and Li Shimin have been together for almost 20 years, so they naturally understand that he has always wanted to prove himself in his heart and prove that he is more suitable to be the emperor than Li Jiancheng.
Although Li Jiancheng committed suicide, after all, it was caused by a brotherly dispute, and there are many gossips outside, even if you don't hear it with your own ears, you can imagine it.
"Although Datang is already very powerful, I can't relax, seeing the unprecedented good situation, I can't let him be short-lived." Li Shimin thought that now the Tang Dynasty not only has a vast territory, but also has strong soldiers and horses, and all countries have surrendered, and his heart is hot.
"The Tang Dynasty is now politically clear, the people have no worries about food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, it is no longer ancient, and the time when I want to come to the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times is also very different, the second brother is an emperor through the ages, and the concubines are also a lot." The eldest grandson leaned on Li Shimin's side, looked at her husband, and the child said.
"Haha, Guanyin is right, I want to be the first emperor of the ages, haha." Obviously, the eldest grandson's words disturbed Li Shimin's itch, and he laughed happily.
…………
December 28, 2nd year of Sadakan, Shimane Castle.
Feng Daiwen looked at the incoming reinforcements with a headache, and he would rather not have this group of people coming.
"Haha, haha, what's wrong, stinky boy, sad face, you're not happy to see me coming." Li Yuan went out for a private visit to Weifu, and his spirit was obviously much better, he couldn't see his old state at all, he sat on the boat for a few days, and he still had the spirit to laugh at Feng Daiwen.
"Grandpa Huang, why did you come here, the island is not safe now, and the crown prince, King Wu, and King Wei are also here." Feng Daiwen said with a bitter smile on his face.
"Why aren't you asking for reinforcements, I rushed here as soon as I heard about it in Jiangnan, you see that I not only came in person, but also raised 5,000 elite soldiers in Jiangnan, haha, don't let me go to the country of Pi, and it's the same when I come to Wadao, haha." Li Yuan laughed and told his true purpose.
came to the city, Feng Daiwen had no choice but to take them into the city, and then sent people to spread the word to Li Ji and the eldest grandson Shunde, and sent people back to Chang'an to report the news.
"I wonder how the war is going in the country of Pyu?" After entertaining Li Yuan to stay, Feng Daiwen asked curiously.
"Don't mention it to me, it's angry to mention it, the country of Bi didn't fight, many tribes in Nanzhao have been wiped out, just because of the discovery of a few silver mines, they have been lingering in Nanzhao, I passed the decree to ask, and actually reported that the road is still being built." Li Yuan said indignantly.
Feng Daiwen understood as soon as he heard it, after all, when the family went to war, the imperial court only received fifty percent of the spoils, so it was natural to maximize the benefits.
"There are indeed a lot of silver mines in Nanzhao, and this move can also increase a lot, why should the imperial grandfather care, wait for the end of the Japanese conquest, and take the jade for the imperial grandfather." Feng Daiwen smiled and comforted Li Yuandao.
In fact, Li Yuan didn't have to be jade, he was just having fun for himself, and since he had arrived in Wadao, he naturally didn't think about the affairs of the country for the time being.
"Tell me about something interesting or interesting about Wajima." Li Yuangang asked. Lying comfortably on the chair, he said: "Winter here should be good, it's much warmer than Chang'an." ”
