For the Bohai garrison, Li Chen imitated the US military and the legacy of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has a governor's mansion and a governor's mansion, and there will be a garrison to maintain the rule www.biquge.info of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, this is also a Chinese tradition, even in future generations.

However, the garrison has always been the Tang Dynasty or China's own military spending, so the burden of military spending is quite heavy. When the imperial court's financial revenue is difficult, often these military expenditures will be cut first. Like the Ming Dynasty, outside the border wall, there were several guards to consolidate the security of the Ming Dynasty's frontier.

However, they were later abolished. Because the finances of the imperial court were gradually difficult, it was very expensive to garrison these places. It's all thorough.

The result? The consequence of the removal was that these places were occupied, which made the Ming Dynasty's frontiers blazing everywhere, and military expenditures were more serious.

Li Chen's meaning is to let some nearby small countries bear the military expenses, Datang protects them, and you bear the military expenses, so that Datang's expenses can be reduced a lot. This is not Li Chen's originality, he doesn't know if the US military is stationed there, whether the local government will bear part of the military expenses, anyway, he did so.

This is not his original creation, nor is it the experience of later generations, someone did it more than a thousand years ago, that is, the Athenians in 477 BC. In order to defend against the Persians, many Greek city-states paid a lot of military expenses as expenses to defend against the Persians. However, when the Persians were defeated, these small city-states were reluctant to pay high military bills.

So, the Athenians drove their armies to cities that wanted to withdraw from the defensive alliance, and forced them to return to the alliance by force and pay their military bills again. These military funds were used by the Athenians to build the Temple of Athena and hold a grand celebration.

Li Chen is just learning from the Athenians, and let those small states bear the military expenses of the Tang Dynasty, not convinced? You may threaten world peace, not like Lao Mei, wrong, not like Big Brother Tang, who is committed to the stability of the environment and the safety of mankind, so I want to crusade against you.

No money? It doesn't matter, if you open up the country and let Datang businessmen help you build, there will always be some products to sell, and you can disarm and cut the army, and Datang will protect your safety, so there will be military spending.

Bohai is an experiment, and the current effect is not bad, but Mobei is in a mess at the instigation of Datang. Many clans scuffle.

After the decline of the Khitans, the Murowei, the Yan, Shanxi, and many other small tribes, such as the Uighurs, began to attack each other and annex each other. Datang continued to sell weapons, strong armor and sharp weapons, all of which were sold in large quantities in exchange for a large number of slaves and various domestic animals.

Slaves were screened first, and they could be transformed by the Tang Dynasty, and there were loyal and firm Tang warriors in the reformed city, and they were incorporated into the army in order to defend world peace and stabilize the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. When they retire, there will be fields waiting for them, and it is not impossible to even become a magistrate, as long as you learn Chinese well, Han customs and Confucianism that have been transformed by Li Chen, it is possible.

Others, those who are stubborn, or who are not indoctrinated, are thrown into the mines. Datang now needs more and more minerals, and these strong slaves, as long as they use Datang's advanced management technology, the cost is very low.

However, Li Chen set up another slave army, which was experimental in nature. The members were all made up of slaves, a bit like the Celestials, the Mamluks, who had an army. This slave army, they will take on the most dangerous tasks, which can reduce the number of casualties among the Tang soldiers.

Treat these slave soldiers as cannon fodder, they don't need to be compensated when they die, they don't have to pay salaries in ordinary times, they can be equipped with armor and weapons of the foreign trade type. Then, while using it vigorously, I carried out ideological transformation.

If they don't die on the battlefield, they can be given a piece of land, or arranged a job, and give them a Datang household registration. It's kind of taking care of them. In war, there are no immortals, even if the US military is like this, high-tech, it will crush any army in the future world, but it will also suffer heavy casualties, and people are not afraid of sacrifice and consumption with you.

Li Chen made such an army, which can reduce the casualties of the army in the war in the Tang Dynasty in the future. As long as you can survive to the end, it will not be easy to pay so much to oppose Tang in the future. Like the French foreign mercenary group, no matter what you have done, as long as you join, through rigorous training, you can have French nationality after retirement.

Li Chen wants to reduce Datang's military spending and reduce the casualties of Datang soldiers, which is one thing. On the other hand, give those naturalized aliens a chance, and if they have to pay, they will be rewarded, so that they are relatively stable.

Improve the treatment of soldiers, and then tell these slaves and aliens that as long as they serve the Tang Dynasty, they will have a chance to get out of the slavery and become a Datang person. It's dangerous, but you're not a Tang in the first place, so there's no other way.

Draw them a big pie at the beginning, and really give them a big pie in the future. Only when you are desperate will you cherish this opportunity.

However, Li Chen didn't dare to form too much. He's still thinking about whether he should do it or not. If the control is not good, let this bomb explode in Datang, I am afraid that the damage to Datang will be very serious. In addition, he doesn't know if he has the right mentality.

After all, there are too many examples of this in history, the Romans used aliens as guards, and as a result, the emperor was betrayed. The Arabs used the Mamluks, and in the end this slave army also rebelled and formed the Mamluk dynasty.

Li Chen didn't know how the Tianfang people rebelled against that army back then. He could only fumble around. Previously, he tried to introduce alien races into the Tang army and mix with the Tang Dynasty. Now it is to set up a pure alien army and transform it in this way.

If you succeed, you can slowly assimilate those foreign peoples. These people, when they are successfully discharged from the army, can bring their families to Datang together. Use this to make those aliens, the population slowly decrease. Eventually, it was assimilated by the Tang Dynasty and integrated into the entire Han nation.

And just as he was obsessed with the future of Datang, bad news came. This matter is not a small trouble. The three major newspapers in Chang'an, as well as some tabloids in various places, made headlines. There is a wealthy family who dares to assassinate the official of the imperial court, which is a big deal.

In fact, when it comes to assassinations, Datang has happened a lot, after all, there is a criminal record. First Emperor Taizong killed his brother and killed his brother, and then several of his sons followed suit, paying tribute to their father, and they all wanted to rebel.

Lao Tzu killed his brother and killed his brother, his son was against Lao Tzu, and then his mother killed his son, his son was against his mother, his wife killed his husband, his daughter killed his father, his ministers were on the side of the Qing monarch, the eunuch killed the emperor, and then the vassal assassinated the prime minister. Datang is really, everything that can be killed is killed.

The family killed each other, and after the killing, they changed the ministers against the emperor and assassinated the prime minister. The eunuch killed the master, and now it is the turn of the local tycoon to assassinate the magistrate?

Li Chen was very angry, what is this doing, can everyone have fun together in the future, kill and kill in the past, and after the killing, will the matter be repeated again, to see if his son is against him, or will he take the lead? That's enough.

However, when the prime minister was summoned, Li Chen was at least calm on the surface, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. made many prime ministers worried, the emperor has been getting better and better over the years.

This is not an adjective, but a verb. Li Chen advocated Taoism, and in order to maintain health, he followed several old Taoists to learn health skills. Strengthening the body, on the one hand, is to cultivate the mind. Buddhism is also learned, and the legend says that the ancestor of Bodhidharma got the Yijin Sutra, and he also learned it.

There is no mystery, to put it bluntly, it is yoga gong, Tianzhu Yoga was brought to China by Bodhidharma, practicing this kind of kung fu, which is of great help to the body and martial arts. The muscles and bones are active, and the practice of martial arts is relatively uninjured, and some dark injuries can also be recuperated. There is no legend that after learning, you will make great progress in martial arts.

As for improving physical qualifications, it can only be said that yoga is practiced deeply, and the body muscles and bones are relatively active, which probably refers to this, so it is the secret of Shaolin Temple. It's not to compete with Taoism, those bhikshus are still unwilling to take it out.

Li Chen learned, and also let some elderly officials follow suit, so that there will be this kind of saying that qi cultivation kung fu is really cultivating qi.

Tell me what the charter is. He passed some of the reports to the prime minister, and the contents were actually similar to those written in the newspapers.

'Important ministers should be sent to strictly investigate and deal with it, and the rule of the Tang Dynasty should really be rectified. The first to speak was Cheng Zhou Qi in the imperial history, this is his own job, and he has to express his opinion. Someone took the lead, and other prime ministers also spoke, all of them had the same opinion, punished heavily, and rectified it well.

Contrarian? No. Seeing this report, everyone was sure of one thing, the emperor was going to be serious this time.

It's not that the content of this report is shocking, but the content of this report is similar to what the newspapers say. Reading the newspaper, basically there is no need to read the report, and even, because it is an official report, the excitement is not as good as the newspaper, and the newspaper is naturally better than the official report because it has to face the general public.

What happened was that the local wealthy Zhao family, because of the judge Jiang who was in charge of agricultural affairs, repeatedly clashed with him in order to protect the fields.

This kind of thing has appeared in many places in Datang. Because of the huge profits of the textile mills, many local wealthy families, in order to seize the abundant water resources, repeatedly clashed with the agricultural judges. Although the steam engine appeared, the production was not enough.

It's not the same as the Wattna years. The Newcommen steam engine was sold in the dozens, and the Watt steam engine was about a few hundred. Both are used in mine pit pumping, and in textile mills. The range of applications is not that large. Li Chen has made it out with many more uses than them, like a steam locomotive, which has been intensively prepared, and it is difficult for people to buy it if they want.

Moreover, the steam engine is very expensive, it is better to use water power, water is free, even if the water flow is not strong enough, you can even use cement.

The river is narrowed with cement, and the cement ditch is said to be useful for hundreds of years. If the river is narrowed with cement, the current will be strong. Even if it costs a lot, at least you don't have to wait for a steam engine. Although Li Chen repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed that this kind of behavior was forbidden, these wealthy families did not change their ways. Even if he persuaded the peasant judges to fight against them repeatedly, it was useless.

In order to build a textile factory, they went up to a variety of tricks. Some of them relied on the large number of people to do it, set up the peasant judges, and began to fill the soil, or secretly filled the soil in the middle of the night, and waited for the day when the wood was already completed. It's hard to raise a field, it's easy to destroy it, people have destroyed the field, and it's useless for you to resist.

This piece of land is abandoned, and if you don't let people build a textile factory, this tenant farmer will drink the northwest wind, and in the end, he can only accept it helplessly. Even, many tenant farmers, in order to covet the opportunity for the owner to work in the textile factory, and a high monthly salary, also helped the owner fill in the land.

For such a situation, Li Chen can't do anything in a short time, although in his opinion, these are all temporary, and when the steam engine is popularized, naturally people will switch to the steam engine. However, he still asked the capital water superintendent to study and formulate a way to control the mountains and rivers of the country, and the people could not be allowed to occupy the rivers and lakes.

In later generations, the area of many lakes was greatly reduced, so that the function of regulating water volume was lost. Let a good river, disasters are frequent.

That movement was not *** first, and now there are signs of this in the Tang Dynasty. In some places, swamps are converted into cultivated land, in other places, lakes are directly enclosed to create farmland, and in others, river banks are filled up and reclaimed.

These are all undesirable, and it all depends on the situation. The swamp land is converted into arable land, which seems to be useless, but in fact it can be used as a place for temporary overflow after the water rises. In this way, the embankment is more secure. In Taiwan, floods occurred in various counties and cities for a period of time.

Before the embankment broke, the people were washed away so badly. It was a great flood, and in many places it was flooded several feet high.

The main reason is that the annual rainfall remains unchanged, but the rainfall is too concentrated, resulting in the drainage system that was previously designed, and there is no time to drain the water, resulting in flooding.

The solution is to design a lot of water-friendly parks. Don't look at it usually a beautiful, sparse place with flowers and trees, and pleasant scenery. In the event of heavy rain, it will become a water town, and the water that will not have time to be discharged will be temporarily hoarded here. This method is effective, and after the counties and cities switched to this method, they have not heard of any heavy rain causing water accumulation for many years.

Of course, Li Chen couldn't let this kind of thing happen again in the Tang Dynasty. If it happened in the Tang Dynasty, it would not be as simple as knee-high flooding and furniture soaking, it would definitely be very serious.

What else is enclosing lakes to create fields, shrinking rivers, and competing for land to rivers is clear to everyone without explanation. Li Chen couldn't let this kind of thing happen.

It's not that these things can't be done, but they must be evaluated as a whole, and they can't be messed around by the people, so if they don't care, according to Li Chen's experience, he knows that it will be more serious in the future. This kind of situation of competing for land with water has not been stopped by all dynasties.

Li Chen was about to make an edict to revise a river management regulation and set up subordinate institutions of the capital water supervision in all rivers in the Tang Dynasty to manage the rivers, when such a vicious and important thing happened, and the local wealthy clans did not take the imperial court in their eyes at all, and dared to do something to the imperial court officials, which was simply unforgivable.
