After the edict on military reform was issued, some of the envoys expressed their opposition and were unwilling to comply. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There are two towns that are ready to raise troops to defend their existing rights.

Beiting Jiedu, who was preparing to start a rebellion, made Wang Weiliang be killed by his own subordinates before the rebellion began. Although the other knot, Yuan Hao, succeeded in raising troops, but in less than half a month, his rebellion was put down.

Neng Yuanhao served as the envoy of the Beihai Festival, who was originally a subordinate of An Lushan, and still held his original position after surrendering. Neng Yuanhao's soldiers and horses were only 10,000 people, and after the rebellion, the imperial court immediately ordered the two nearby towns to raise troops to quell the rebellion, and soon Neng Yuanhao was defeated and killed.

It was Li Siye, the envoy of the Hanhai Festival, and Li Huan, the envoy of the Xingping Festival, who raised troops to quell the rebellion. After the envoys of these two towns led the army to quell the rebellion, they immediately went to the imperial court to express their strong support for the military reform of the imperial court. Immediately, many towns and festivals envoys came to the table one after another to support the measures of the imperial court.

Most of the Jiedu envoys supported the military reform of the imperial court, and those who rebelled were pacified, and those who opposed the Jiedu envoys were finally afraid, and finally did not dare to go against the general trend, and also followed the above table to support the military reform strongly implemented by the imperial court.

The envoys of all towns responded, and the reform of the military system naturally proceeded smoothly, which made Yang Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

The reorganization of the armed forces and the implementation of the new military system will begin immediately, and Yang Xi hopes that within two to three years, the reform of the military system will produce initial results.

Although these generals no longer have the authority in the hands of the former envoys, the men and horses under their command are still a force to be reckoned with, and there must be a supervision and restraint mechanism to restrain them.

The selection of personnel is the first step, and the follow-up measures must be followed.

Moreover, Yang Xi has formulated a rotation strategy, that is, the commanders of each guard army cannot be in office for more than three years, and they must be rotated to other guards every three years, and they cannot take away any staff members who have the status of the army, and there are strict restrictions on the number of personal soldiers.

When the generals led the army. You can't participate in political affairs, and you can't enter the court to work unless you hand over military power.

All this was done while giving the generals a lot of power while limiting their possibility of rebellion.

The status of military generals is not low, but they cannot interfere in local affairs, so that civil ministers and military generals can find their own balance, and there are not many ministers who stand up for strong opposition, plus Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other very prestigious generals fully support. Moreover, Yang Xi's own military exploits are not comparable to ordinary people, and there are fewer and fewer voices of opposition.

The commanders of the guards are carefully selected people, and although they are not guaranteed to be absolutely loyal, under many constraints, the possibility of rebellion is very small. Yang Xi also decided to establish the Tang Royal Military Academy, and he also served as the sacrificial wine of the Royal Military Academy, and officers at all levels had to go to the military academy for training, and in the future, middle and low-level officers must be selected from the graduates of the military academy, and those who have not been trained in the military academy. Death can only be reached the level of brigade commander. If you want to be promoted, in addition to accumulating military merits, you must have the study experience of a military academy.

In that year, Jiang Guangtou founded the Whampoa Military Academy and trained a large number of generals who were loyal to themselves and the country. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Civil War, these generals were the mainstays of the National Revolutionary Army, and Yang Xi must follow suit. He himself served as the sacrificial wine of the Military Academy, and the graduates who came out of this time were all his disciples, protégés of the Son of Heaven. Loyalty naturally has a certain degree of guarantee.

Of course, Yang Xi also knows that the degree of lessons learned by the people is generally low. The same is true for officers and men in the army, some of whom are even illiterate, and if we want to completely change all this, we must start with universal education.

According to the current situation, it is still very difficult to popularize education in an all-round way, but Yang Xi can take his time and greatly improve the education level of the people through a few years or even dozens of efforts.

This is also one of the reforms that Yang Xi wants to carry out.

In addition to the reform of the military system, other changes in politics and people's livelihood have also been carried out successively.

During his years in power, Yang Xi planned to bring great improvements to society, and the reform of education was one of the most important ones. "The people may, let it be; "Education is the most convenient way to improve the quality of the people."

Now Yang Xi's treasury situation in Datang is probably clear, and it can be described as rich flowing oil.

The treasury is strong, and many things can be done.

Yang Xi decided that after the beginning of his administration, he would forcibly establish a government-run school in every county, and accept those school-age children who were not poor in intelligence to study in the school at very convenient school fees, and those who were good at learning but from poor families could be free of tuition or something.

Yang Xi dreams of a day when education can be fully universalized, so that all children who adapt to it can afford to go to school.

Of course, he knows that it is very difficult to realize this wish now, and if it is forced regardless of reality, it will not only bring great trouble, but even the country will be dragged down. Although it is said that Datang has a bit of a "rich flowing oil" flavor now, if you really want to do those things to improve people's livelihood, these riches will soon be tossed away.

Yang Xi knew that he should improve more aspects and try his best to create wealth in order to benefit more people in the world.

Nowadays, although the Datang treasury is solid, there are still many people in the world who are not well fed and clothed, what Yang Xi wants to do is to make the world's output more, and take the first step to ensure that the people have food and clothing.

After he crossed over, most of the time was busy "fighting fires", either counterinsurgency or expedition, most of the time in contact with military aspects, until he became the emperor himself, he paid attention to all aspects of people's livelihood. After learning about the current productivity situation, he was a little "surprised".

For example, most of today's planting places still stay in the way of one crop a year, that is, a field, only one crop is planted a year, and the harvest is put away, which makes Yang Xi, who is familiar with the planting of two crops and three crops a year in later generations, very surprised. And he also knows that the crops planted today are still mainly millet and wheat, and there are not many rice plants with huge yields, so it is no wonder that after crossing over to the Tang Dynasty, there are not many times when rice is eaten, most of the time it is pasta, or corn and the like. Fortunately, he doesn't pay attention to what he eats, and he doesn't have much energy to care.

After learning about this situation, he immediately discussed in detail with the officials of the household department about crop planting, and proposed the planting method of double cropping or even triple cropping in a year, as well as popularizing the planting of rice on a large scale, and bringing good rice varieties from the Jiaozhou area.

Yang Xi immediately thought of a rice variety called Champa rice that he had vaguely heard in later generations, and immediately decided that it was probably the same thing, and immediately ordered the officials of Jiaozhou to find a way to get seeds for trial planting.

Under the leadership of Yang Xi, starting from the second year of his administration, the official fields in various localities will begin to adopt the planting plan of rice and wheat multiple crops several times a year, and widely promote the planting of rice. Yang Xi was very excited, as if he had seen the mountains of white flowers in the warehouses in front of him, and the people no longer had to worry about eating and drinking, but were worried about how to solve the problem of how to solve the problem of not being able to eat enough food.

Yang Xi from later generations was very aware of the role of commerce and trade in promoting the development of the national economy, so he vigorously improved the people's livelihood and personally proposed a series of measures to improve the people's livelihood, and at the same time, he also began to advocate the role of commerce and trade in economic development to the ministers.

While discussing specific measures, Yang Xi announced the lifting of the curfew that had been in place for more than 100 years.

After the door was closed, although the city gate of Chang'an was closed, the gate of each square was not closed, and the people were not forbidden to go out at night.

In the eastern and western markets, the closing time of shops has also been greatly delayed, and Yang Xi has even encouraged the holding of night markets. In places where the nightlife is very rich, such as Pinghongfang, people can also visit at any time of the night.

Yang Xi's bold move was opposed by many ministers, who believed that the complete lifting of the curfew would bring great trouble to the law and order in Chang'an, and that the number of traitors would surely increase. But Yang Xi still used his own reasons to persuade the hundred officials and abolished the curfew.

State-run night markets soon popped up and soon flourished, and the nightlife of Chang'an's residents soon became rich with the lifting of the curfew. Business in Pinghong Fong is also more booming than before, and some other nightlife-related industries have sprung up. The officials of the DPRK and China were very surprised, they did not expect such a situation after the curfew was lifted.

At night, Chang'an was no longer a lifeless city, but became full of prosperity and vitality, but this did not have the consequences that the ministers feared, and the number of traitors did not increase, but decreased, and the number of law and order cases in and around Chang'an also decreased.

"You see, I said that when the people are rich, there will be fewer offenders!" When the snow fell heavily and the entire Chang'an City was white, Yang Xi took the hundred officials to the Daming Palace Taiye Pool to enjoy the snow, after listening to the report of the household department and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, he said to the ministers, he also immediately decided to fully lift the curfew in all cities across the country to give the people more freedom.

When deciding to fully lift the curfew, Yang Xi still remained cautious, and only implemented it in big cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang, and was ready to see the effect before it was fully promoted. After a few months, the effect was really good, and the opposing ministers naturally lost their words.

Soon the New Year will be over, and for the new year, Yang Xi and his ministers are full of hope.

On the first day of the first month, Yang Xi issued an edict to change the Yuan, changed the year name to Yongchang, and implemented the Tang Dynasty and the Yellow Emperor Era.

The first year of Yongchang is the 143rd year of the Tang Dynasty and the 3,459th year of the Yellow Emperor.

At the beginning of the new year, new reforms have been further carried out...... (To be continued.) )
