Pen and ink is Xian'er's best friend, whenever Xian'er uses his father's pen and ink, he will think of his father's teachings to Xian'er. -- Li Xian

Ren Liang continued to persuade: "The starting point of all this is to hope to better protect our Wanzhou City. ”

The peasants were extremely grateful and said words of thanks.

In Zhang Xiaojie's general's mansion, Li Jinghan and other generals were in a meeting, and Li Jinghan read about the important matters of the month, and read one of them: the displaced people on the border of Wanzhou City demanded a reduction in taxes.

Lao Zhang said: "I have agreed to this matter, Liu Renliang has asked me to send troops for the defense of Wanzhou City many times, and now I agree to his request to reduce taxes, and he will not beg me to send troops again." You don't understand how relieved I am now, ha, ha. ”

Jing Han said: "I have also defended Jiluzhou City before, I still can't understand, the Turks also come to small battles all day long, but they always lose more than win, Liu Renliang is too careful, too overestimating the enemy." ”

Champion General Wang Pengyun said: "Zhengzheng may want to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Well, Liu Renliang has been dismissed before, he should want to atone for his sins this time, the more he speaks of the enemy, the greater his credit." Lao Zhang said.

Ren Liang began to draw out the peasants who were willing to serve as militia and train with the soldiers.

On the school ground, Ren Rail: "Veterans, beside you are honest peasants outside Wanzhou City who are now loyal to Your Majesty, and from now on they are also the elite militia guarding Wanzhou City. Their shortcomings and differences are of course there, but if you veterans dare to bully them under this pretext, then you will be punished. Remember, whether you are veterans or militiamen, we have only one goal, which is to prevent the invasion of the Turks and defend our Datang. The militia is stationed in Wanzhou City, and each squad will be assigned to a guard position, and the veterans are responsible for all kinds of training of the militia, if the militia is not trained well, then this responsibility is borne by the veterans. ”

After Ren Liang finished speaking, the soldier Cao Zhuangyu began to read the distribution plan: "Vice General Wei led 300 veterans to be responsible for the training of 600 militia and garrisoned the west city wall, Captain Li led 150 veterans to be responsible for the training of 300 militia and garrisoned the left section of the east city wall, and Captain Jiang led 150 veterans to be responsible for the training of 300 militia and garrisoned the right section of the east city wall,......"

After the distribution, the veterans began to take the recruits to carry out rigorous training, swords, guns, arrows, halberds, gunpowder, physical strength, as long as it was useful for fighting.

"Lower your shoulders and stabilize your center of gravity!"

"You shoot a fart, you can't shoot so close!" The veterans scolded one after another.

At the beginning of the training, many militias were not good.

The patriarch came with the women to bring lunch to everyone. The patriarch said: "Everyone is not tired, go, go, hurry, hurry, hurry up, send food to our man." ”

In the barracks, recruits and veterans sat on the floor. The patriarch beckoned: "Come, come, come, everyone eat and drink well, the wheat cake is enough, and it can be made vigorously, ha, ha, ha." ”

The veteran Yang Jiang invited the recruits, who were Sun Lei, a young farmer who questioned Liu Renliang a few days ago, and said, "Come, Xiao Sun has a bowl." ”

Xiao Sun was staring blankly at the patriarch's daughter Jin Ju in a daze.

"Good, good, drink!"

"Come on, man, it's done! Forget all the bad things in the past. ”

"Drink, it's delicious."

Many soldiers looked at Jin Ju and were stunned, for soldiers who have not seen a woman for a long time, Jin Ju can be regarded as a big beauty.

"Thorn!"

"Grid!"

"Block!"

The next day, because most of the taxes were reduced, the militia trained very seriously. After brutal training, the militiamen's fighting posture is more decent, and most of the archery can be targeted.

In between training, the Tang soldiers also went to the peasants to help them do some farm work and work with the peasants.

"Old man, I'll come."

"Auntie, you rest, I'll do it."

The Tang soldiers and the common people really got together.

Tang Bing Du Hai always surrounded Jin Ju like a fly, which made Jin Ju very annoyed.

In the imperial palace of Chang'an City, Emperor Li Zhi summoned the crown prince Li Hong, the king of Yan Li Zhong, the king of Zhou Li Xian, the mourning king Li Xiao, and the king of Ze Li Shangjin to reward them.

"In order to reward the crown prince and the princes for their hard work during this time, I have prepared some prizes for everyone, see what you like, and choose what you like." Li Zhidao.

"Thank you for your kindness." Prince Li Hongdao.

"Come on, come on, see what you like, just choose."

"Prince, come and choose first."

"Yes, Father."

Li Hong was born when Li Zhi was twenty-four years old, and Li Hong was soon sixteen years old and was about to perform the crown ceremony. Because he is the eldest son of Wu Zetian, he is the crown prince who will inherit the throne to a large extent in the future, and he is very appreciated by Li Zhi and Zetian.

The crown prince and the kings chose gold and jade jewelry, and only Li Xian, the king of Zhou, chose the imperial pen and square inkstone used for imperial approval in front of the emperor.

"Hey, why does Xian'er only need pen and ink?" Li Zhi asked.

"Pen and ink is Xian'er's best friend, whenever Xian'er uses his father's pen and ink, he will think of his father's teachings to Xian'er." Li Xian replied in a childish voice.

"Really? Ha, ha, ha, I am as smart as Sun Zhongmou of the Three Kingdoms. Empress Wu is still very taught. The Emperor said happily.

"It's His Majesty the Emperor who has a good reputation, and the people in the old palace say that Xian'er's current appearance is just like what Emperor Taizong looked like when he was young." Wu Zetian Dao.

At the same time in history, Japan was undergoing a tremendous transformation.

In the 5th century, the Yamato Kingdom of Japan continued to occupy the surrounding lands and its people in the process of expansion, and distributed them to members of the imperial family and large nobles. The Yamato state divided the land into two parts, the tunkura and the grange, the former belonging to the imperial family and the latter to the nobility. At the same time, the working people were divided into two parts, a small part of the slaves, who were mainly used for domestic labor, and the other part of the people, who were mainly used for productive labor.

Minarians are a special phenomenon in the formation of the Japanese state. In the process of the outward conquest of the Yamato country, some of the submissive tribes and conquered tribes were collectively settled, retaining the original tribal organization and continuing to live on the original land, and many still retained the original original blood relationship; In addition, there are a number of ministries specializing in specialized production, whose workers are also called ministers. According to the classification, those engaged in agricultural production are called fields and rice, and those engaged in production in handicrafts or other industries are collectively called the works department, and the product department is divided into clothing and sewing departments and forging and smelting departments according to different industries. The people who worked in the great noble grange for special labor were named after their masters. The tribesmen had their own families and production tools, and could have a small amount of family property. The master was not allowed to kill or buy or sell his people at will, but he could give them as gifts to others as he did with slaves. So there was not much difference between the tribesmen and the slaves.

At that time, the tribesmen and slaves made up more than half of the Japanese population. Between the nobility and the tribal were a large number of commoners, whose status was also changing due to changes in property, and there was always a danger of becoming a tribal. After the Yamato Kingdom basically unified the whole country, it lost the geographical environment to continue to expand outward, and internal competition began. Some of the larger aristocrats were desperate to gain greater benefit from controlling the central power on their own.

Before the 6th century, the relatively powerful Monobe clan controlled the government. Later, the emerging Soga clan became stronger, defeated the Monobe clan, seized control of the central government, and installed an emperor in their favor.

The Su I family is invincible, and the small and medium-sized nobles below are also frantically annexing land, brutally exploiting the tribesmen, and many commoners are also deprived of their land, land and wealth are constantly concentrated, and social contradictions are unprecedentedly acute. Under these circumstances, slaves, tribesmen, and commoners rebelled and fled against taxes.

By the 6th century, society was in a state of disarray. The Japanese ruling class had to think about how to find a better way to govern to replace the outdated system of ministry.

To put it bluntly, small Japan, a slave society, no longer meets the requirements of the development of the times, and must make a great leap from a slave society to a feudal society.
