The Khitan and Shanxi people really want to run. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but where can you go? The place where the water and grass are abundant has long been occupied. The tribes and the people of Muwei didn't plan to move at all, because the Tang Dynasty was too far away from them, and they wouldn't hit them first if they wanted to.

If you want to fight the tribes, you must first destroy the Bohai Sea. In front of the Murwei people, there are Khitan and Shanxi in the way. When Shanxi and Khitan, as well as Bohai, were all cleaned up, and the anger of wanting to come to Datang was gone, they just happened to take over those places and expand their territory.

Moreover, they didn't believe that Datang would come all the way here just to teach them a lesson. It's too much work. So, they didn't even think about leaving. Besides, where can they run? Their location is far enough to the north.

They live farther away than the Khitan and Bohai Seas. These places are very cold now, and it will only get colder in winter. They all want to move south, who would want to go further north. Therefore, the high-level leaders of these two tribes have no intention of moving their nests, and their people do not want to move.

Do you want them to abandon the territory they have always relied on for their livelihood and go to a colder place in the north? is sick, according to the recent Datang grassland merchants, there is a popular saying from the Tang Dynasty, which is called having a hole in the brain.

If they don't leave, Shanxi and the Khitans won't have a place to go, otherwise there will be a war. The Tang army can be overwhelmed by the army at any time, and they can't afford internal friction. Moreover, the Khitans suffered heavy losses. Seriously injured muscles and bones, about 7,000 people died, and they were all Khitan kings and warriors of all ethnic groups.

They can't afford to be hurt, not to mention that they can't go to war, and maybe they will face challenges from other tribes in the future. If it weren't for the scruples of others, no one would have been dizzy, regardless of the overall situation, regardless of the fact that the Tang Army might break through their door at any time, maybe this would have started a war.

Besides, the people at the bottom of these two ethnic groups, those herdsmen, are even more reluctant to go. There is still a trace of luck, those herdsmen are not like those leaders, there are people to support them, and they can worry about what to do when the Tang army hits the door. They still have to work for the whole family.

If you go now, the whole family may freeze and starve to death, since the Tang army is coming, it may die, and now that you are migrating, you may also die, so it is better to wait for the Tang army to come, what if the Tang army does not come? Then this winter can be over. Come? Surrender to the Don Army. If the Tang army is too fierce, run away when the time comes.

And just when the tribes were worried and expecting it, the Tang army did not come out of the fortress. According to the news from the steppe merchants, the assembled troops also retreated, and everyone's minds became active again. Since you can't run, and the Tang army hasn't come, let's hurry up and worship. For a while, everyone's minds were mobilized.

The large and small tribes of the grassland have sent envoys to Chang'an, the Tang army may not come, the army of all towns has retreated, there is no immediate life and death crisis, everyone has an idea. But no matter what you have in mind, you have to send an envoy first.

On the one hand, it is to ask for sin, and quickly give gifts, maybe the Tang Emperor will be happy, and the military will really not come. After all, if you don't come now, it doesn't mean that you won't come in the future, maybe it's just that the weather is cold, so simply let the army go back for the New Year, and the spring of the next year will come.

Even if it is the beginning of spring next year, it will not work, the Tang army is so fierce. It's better not to come. By the way... Every clan has a little bit of a little ninety-nine in their hearts. Everyone has a mental plan.

The fastest of them is the Bohai people. The situation of the Bohai people is even worse, even worse than that of the Khitans. After all, in this big war, it is they who suffer the most. 40,000 people were served in one pot, and even the crown prince Da Mingjun was captured.

Da Qian Huang panicked. He was such a son, and the others died early. How many sons did his brother have, but he tried his best to snatch the throne and return it to his son? Isn't that a big joke?

Although he also has a grandson, he is still young. He had no doubt that if he died, his grandson hadn't grown up, and his brother would not mind repeating what had happened before. As for turning his brother into a son, he simply killed them all, he didn't think about it.

But first, he didn't have time to do it, and secondly, if they were all killed, his son would not be able to come back, and his grandson would still be too young, this King of Bohai, it would be difficult to say who would be the king. Therefore, he will not do it unless he has to. Now I have to try to save my son first.

In addition to trying to save his son, he also has to save those tens of thousands of people. 40,000 people, Bohai is seriously injured, if it weren't for several other tribes, worried that the Tang Dynasty would ride out of the block, Bohai might be in trouble.

Nowadays, the situation is not so good. The tribes that were suppressed by the Bohai people in the past are now ready to move. They don't have much pressure, they are in the north of the Bohai Sea, and even if the Tang Dynasty crusades, they will fight the Bohai Sea first. I'm not too worried that Datang will attack them right away.

Therefore, I really want to take advantage of the loss of troops in the Bohai Sea and make up for it. It's best to grab a big deal, anyway, the Bohai Kingdom is also very rich for them. It would be even better if it could be defeated. Shangjing was right under their noses, and it was under the guise of suppressing the northern tribes that the Bohai State would move its capital back to Shangjing again, but now it has put itself in danger.

However, Shangjing is not easy to fight. Shangjing is not only large, but the city defense is not weak. Those tribes simply don't have any good siege weapons, although the Bohai State is currently suffering heavy losses, but it is not a problem to defend Shangjing, if necessary, you can also mobilize the people to defend, relying on the tribes of the Yan Dynasty, want to fight Shangjing, that is really an old cat with salted fish on his nose, sniff (don't think).

But if their joint losses are also very heavy to the Khitans and several other tribes, then the Bohai Sea problem will be big. There are not so many troops to defend at all, even if Wujing barely holds it, the rest of the Bohai Kingdom will be reduced to ruins. This is something he would never want to see.

The worst has yet to happen. Originally, I was worried about the Tang Army's crusade, but later it was winter, and it was difficult to move troops. In addition to the Zhu Zhu Ministry, the other departments are temporarily silent, but this situation will not last long, once the spring begins, the Tang Dynasty will not let go, maybe the worst will happen.

Therefore, no matter what, we must try to save those tens of thousands of people, the best, the best, the best to get some thunder from the Tang Dynasty, and the kind of pipe that can get angry, then the Bohai Kingdom will not be afraid, and even, it is better for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, if it can instigate the Tang Dynasty to send troops to crusade against the Khitans, then Bohai is even more worry-free.

Bohai people think so, Li Chen can probably guess. Several other tribes also have their own calculations. Bohai people have the pressure of life and death, to the earliest. Shanxi was not slow, the Khitans followed, and the Murowei and Ya tribes arrived later because they were far away. However, no matter how slow it is, it has arrived before the winter solstice.

'Hang them. Li Chen said to the Ministry of Rites. Before the winter solstice, Li Chen came to the Ministry of Rites to discuss whether to establish an education department.

He attached great importance to education, and let Taoism and Buddhism universalize primary education in an all-round way. But we can't always let the two religions set up church schools. The imperial court also has to take care of it.

At present, the war is over, and the three towns of Hebei have also been recovered. Although there will be a large increase in military spending, on average, military spending will not increase much.

The so-called "will not increase too much" means that he gradually reorganized the entire Tang Dynasty domain, and the military expenses and military expenses that were originally borne by the feudal towns themselves and raised by themselves will be borne by the imperial court.

Li Chen's adoption of the elite soldier policy will improve the quality of soldiers, and he will also use firearms, and even fully implement the armor protection law, which should have increased a lot of military spending.

And not too much of an increase means that in the future there will be a gradual reduction in the number of troops, which will reduce some expenses. Secondly, it will increase the immunity money, which is a disguised tax increase, mainly on merchants, and some craftsmen, and some happy households, who will not serve, and can only pay money.

Also, Li Chen improved the manufacturing process of Datang armor, and the cost of building armor will also save a lot. Counting these, the increase in military spending in the Tang Dynasty is not too large, and the imperial court still has money to do other things. Therefore, Li Chen brought Li Bu Shangshu to start the construction of the Tang Dynasty Primary and Secondary School.

Although there are still many things to do, and there is still a lot of money for the imperial court, it should be able to squeeze out some funds to invest in education in the coming year.

Because, Datang's annual income next year is expected to exceed 35 million, which can be regarded as reaching the income of Datang in the heyday of the Yuan and He years.

There will be so many, mainly because the three towns of Hebei will be recovered, bringing about 10 million yuan in taxes to the imperial court. This is still the income of the three towns in Hebei before the statistics, and some new taxes are not included, so there is only such a number. If some new taxes are levied in the three towns, plus the industrial and commercial benefits brought by the recovery of the three towns, the income will be more, which will greatly exceed the yuan and the year, which is just around the corner.

Therefore, Li Chen wants to spend money, this kind of necessary expenditure, start to prepare, education funds are indispensable, although there are many potential places to spend now and in the future, but first use the necessary expenditure of education, other funds are not enough, and then find a way.

Then, he discussed with the Ministry of Rites that he should find that department to be in charge. The Ministry of Rites, although later generations seem to have translated it as a certain Yang, is equivalent to the modern education, culture, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, the educational function is weak.

It's not that he wants to complain about ancient education, it's mainly to cultivate talents who are officials, and he doesn't really attach importance to education. One is that the Guozijian is tied with the other four production things, which is known from the position of the Ministry of Rites.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites and Rites was in charge of the school, but it also supervised many things. In addition to the school, it is also in charge of etiquette, clothing, sigils, expressions, books, orders, auspiciousness, as well as funerals of officials and palace people. To put it simply, it's not education, it's more like a cultural unit.

It's not that it's not important, it's that it's not up to his expectations. Therefore, he wanted to set up an education department in the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for national education matters, which was equivalent to the Ministry of Education in later generations.

However, there are some details to be discussed, whether to set up a temple or a division. The difference is that the department is a government agency. The responsibility of the six departments of Shangshu is to take charge of the government order, inherit the order of the monarch, and make it a government order.

As for the temple, it is an actual implementation agency, the six ministries have accepted the edict and will be handed over to the temple to execute, and the division is to supervise and check and balance. There is also a five-supervisor in the level unit. The temple and the supervisor are both executive institutions, and the five supervisors are not the five temples, they are in charge of construction and production. So Li Chen is not wrong to complain at all, Guozijian is an institution that produces bureaucrats, not an educational institution.

Now Li Chen wants to take out education alone, whether to set up a temple or a division. The level of the secretary is relatively high, but he is actually an agency in charge of the government. Temple, that is, the actual execution. If it is a temple, it is an institution under the Ministry of Rites.

After discussion, education was listed separately and the Department of Education was established, but the Ministry of Rites still had four divisions. Before the Sports Division, it was demoted to the City Sports Temple and became a unit under the Education Department, and then under the Education Department, it also supervised the Guozijian.

The director of the Sports Department probably wanted to cry, and was demoted one level inexplicably, but their historical significance has been reached, Datang's current sports activities are gradually standardized, and the Sports Department has really done a lot of things.

Therefore, seeing that he is very hard-working, Lang Zhong of the Education Department will be reappointed by him. Sports Temple, find someone else to serve.

Then, when the discussion was over, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asked what to do with the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom and the envoys of the other tribes. Li Chen said, hang it. During the winter solstice suburban festival, he had time to think about how long he would have to measure? Eighty-one days? Eighty-one days definitely made them sad to death, because Li Chen didn't just hang them.

Bohai Kingdom was the first to arrive, and the slowest to arrive was the Yan Ya people, but it was the same from early to late, Li Chen didn't see it, so he let Honglu Temple entertain him. was so angry that he asked Honglu Temple to formulate a protocol for hospitality, stipulating how much entertainment expenses should be spent every day, and they should pay for the excess. It also stipulates how long they will only entertain, how many people will be recruited, and what they will exceed, so that they can bear their own burden.

The stingy behavior made Honglu Siqing secretly scold Li Chen for being stingy in his heart, a big country, and caring about that little money. What a shame.

What's worse is that it is not Li Chen who is ashamed, but it is him, Honglu Siqing, who is ashamed. Because of this kind of thing, this kind of stingy thing, how can Li Chen do it. As a subordinate, of course, there are things and responsibilities to bear the sin.

Sure enough, as soon as this regulation came out, the envoys of various countries scolded it. Honglu Siqing can only say with a heartfelt voice, you are sinners, you dared to raise troops to attack my Tang Dynasty a while ago, the emperor has not forgiven you, it is better to be a little conscious, sinners should be enlightened.

Moreover, you don't know how long you have to stay, many envoys before came, they didn't leave, and they had to be entertained by the court every day. That's not going to work.

The tribal envoys had no choice but to find a way to get money. Originally, because Chang'an had a lot of amusement facilities, he was a little unhappy to be homesick and had envoys, and everyone had a sad face, but now Li Chen didn't know how long he would have to dry them, so he had to find a way to raise money.
