Chapter 340: Don't Guess What the Emperor Thinks

"Well, fourth brother, don't you have any good ideas, right?"

What Li Feng said was indeed too difficult. If you want the soldiers, you really don't care about life and death, where is it simple. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even his Xuanjia Army may not be able to achieve this level. However, soon, Li Shimin reacted.

Li Feng mentioned this matter for no reason for a few days, there must be a reason. It is impossible to show off the achievements and abilities of the Black Tiger Army. Thinking of the Black Tiger Army, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up again. Isn't this Black Tiger Army a ready-made example? And they were trained by Li Feng.

"In my opinion, we can start from the following aspects. First of all, let the soldiers have no worries, let them understand that even if they die on the battlefield, their families can live well, and even live better. Second, you can give them a political lesson, brainwash them, and help them build their beliefs. In the end, to give those people enough high glory, spiritual ideas, after all, need spiritual food to support, to reward, let's give them spiritual rewards. I think that if we can do that, a lot of people will be able to stay out of the way. ”

Before coming, Li Feng had already thought about these things, and if he wanted to convince Li Shimin that there were no things that made him tempted, it would definitely not work.

"I want to hear about it"

Hearing that Li Feng really had a way, Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore. A strong army is the most basic guarantee for a country and a nation to become strong.

"The first one is very simple, but it is also the most difficult. The so-called way to let the soldiers have no worries about the future is to strengthen the pension policy for the fallen soldiers. Let their families, after their sacrifice, have a living security. Once you can. The soldiers have no worries, how can they not fight bravely when they kill the enemy. However, it takes a lot of money to do this well. ”

Speaking of the first one, Li Feng also felt a sense of concern in his heart. It's very difficult to do that. Among them, the huge amount of money needed has become the biggest problem. And one more. For domestic officials, whether ancient or modern, it is a virtue. These people are often the most ruthless and unrighteous. The most indifferent, the most forgetful people.

Not to mention this ancient society, it is in the past era, for those soldiers who died bravely, policemen and the like, those who were in power, when did they really pay attention to it. Something that sheds blood and tears. Is it still less.

In fact, it's not that the country doesn't have that ability, it's just that it doesn't have that heart. Think about it, the world-famous Wei Jiajun. One of the main reasons why they are so brave and good at fighting is their pension system. After dying in battle, his family had something to support. Something that an army can do. One country can't do it?

Although, they are all talking. For the country and the people, but no matter which dynasty, the existence of the country is ultimately only for the interests of a small number of people.

The reason for tracing the source is that the status of the warriors is low, and they are just tools in the hands of those in power. Since it's a tool, it can't be used, of course, it's just thrown away, who cares so much.

"Well, I don't know about this, but what can I do? In the treasury, there is no money at the root, and there is "

The truth Li Feng said is simple and clear, how can Li Shimin not know. However, when it comes to money, it's extremely difficult.

"Don't complain to me, it's useless to tell me this, I'm just giving you advice."

Hearing that Li Shimin's face was full of bitterness, Li Feng immediately interrupted him. For this matter, he just mentioned it, as for whether it can be done, that is Li Shimin's business. Otherwise, Li Feng would not have said that this is the most difficult. He didn't expect Li Shimin to agree to this at all.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty was only above its military strength, and in other aspects, compared with the later Song Dynasty, the gap was very huge. Not to mention anything else, for example, some time ago, a small flood could make Li Shimin and the Manchu Dynasty Wu anxious, and even helpless.

At least, in terms of economic construction, Datang is very fragile, and its economic development is like a backwater. And Li Shimin's ultra-low tax policy of hiding the wealth from the people, although to a certain extent, allows the people to benefit. However, the biggest beneficiaries are those wealthy families.

Low taxes, on the other hand, have caused serious financial constraints on the state's finances. The state has no money, and there are many things that cannot be done at the root. For example, water conservancy project construction, infrastructure construction, as well as education development, disaster resilience and so on. In the end, in turn, it seriously restricts economic development.

Li Feng knew that the treasury had no money, so it was nothing more than casual talk.

"The second method is to conduct political and ideological education in the military. Don't just train them, know that the loyalty of the army trumps everything. If the army is disloyal, the more powerful it is, the greater the harm. In short, it's best to choose someone who can speak well and be eloquent. When you go to the army, if you have something to do, you can tell them some patriotic thoughts. Tell them what kind of soldier is the most qualified soldier. Anyway, it's brainwashing, it's just letting them slowly develop a common belief in their hearts, and that's probably what it means. Figure it out for yourself. You people are definitely doing this kind of dirty thing."

When Li Feng came, he also wanted to tell Li Shimin about this so-called brainwashing, but when he saw Li Shimin stunned, and then looked at himself with very strange eyes, Li Feng immediately stopped talking.

"Ahem, what the fourth brother said is very true, and it is really a person who wakes up in a dream. This method is wonderful, well, it is time to do a good job of the ideological education of this army, hehe"

Li Feng's words were indeed enough to shock Li Shimin. He is an expert in this area, and of course he knows what kind of effect it will have if he does it according to Li Feng's method. However, after a huge surprise, he looked at Li Feng in disbelief. This idea contains more and more things, and it is also deeper. This is a kind of full grasp of human nature, of the human heart.

However, it wasn't until Li Feng's last sentence that Li Shimin became embarrassed for a while, and said to Li Feng with a smile.

This matter, in fact, when Li Feng first started training the Black Tiger Army, Li Feng took it into account. To know. When it came to the army, Li Feng immediately thought of the People's Liberation Army. Where the PLA is most powerful lies in their unique beliefs. The most successful part lies in ideological education.

In that era when an old man fell down and people on the street fled, it can often be seen that the news of a certain soldier of a certain unit who died unfortunately because of saving people can be seen.

"Alright. Now for the last thing. I think we should build a monumental square for the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and this is the sketch I made."

Speaking of which, Li Feng finally took out the sketch in his arms. To know. It took him and the Seventh Master three full days to come up with this. And today he came to Li Shimin for this matter. This is also the only thing Li Feng can do for these dead soldiers within his ability.

Give them a glory and give them a name. Although, this thing. It doesn't make much practical sense. However, it is an affirmation for them, and it can give their families a comfort, and that is enough. A lot of the time. Spiritual comfort, although not as tangible as material compensation, is better than material compensation. It's more worthwhile.

Although it was very strange, why did Li Feng come up with this new thing again. But. Li Shimin still hurriedly stepped forward to listen to Li Feng's explanation of this so-called monument square.

"Wonderful, really wonderful, such a monstrous glory, can be sacrificed and admired by the world, enjoy the incense of thousands of families, and even be famous through the ages. Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even the military officials, and even I, the emperor, are all moved. In the face of such glory, it will definitely attract the envy of countless soldiers, and when the time comes, once it goes to the battlefield, it will definitely "

Listening to Li Feng's explanation of the purpose of this so-called monument square, Li Shimin became more and more excited the more he listened. As for the effect of this thing, just by thinking about it, he knew it. The ancients valued reputation, and this kind of beautiful fame has been loved for thousands of years, which is something that countless people dream of.

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, fame is still ahead of profit. Look, those are the ministers who have worked hard, and how many of them are doing whatever it takes to leave a good name in the long river of history.

"Okay, don't get excited, really, fortunately there are no outsiders here, otherwise, your image as an emperor will be completely ruined. Look at your posture, you agree to build this monument square, right?"

Seeing Li Shimin's demeanor, Li Feng was speechless for a while. However, in this regard, Li Feng did not feel that there was anything unaccustomed to it, after all, people are always selfish. And the reason why Li Shimin was so out of shape in front of Li Feng was because he felt that there was no need to disguise. This is also the reason why as soon as Li Feng arrives, Li Shimin will drive out all his subordinates.

"Well, such a good thing, how can there be any reason to disagree, when the time comes, I will personally go to worship again, and then, every Qingming, New Year, the same worship. When the army goes out, I will order the generals here, and when the army returns victoriously, I will also reward the meritorious ministers here, and "

This time, it was Li Feng's turn to be dumbfounded, and then he began to sigh in his heart. This emperor is the emperor after all, Li Feng just gave Li Shimin a start, a wake-up call, and people quickly drew inferences from each other, and even brought the role of this monument square to the fullest.

"Dead people have to be skinned by you, forget it, Lao Tzu doesn't listen to you, and if you listen to it, you will be polluted. Anyway, that's it, how to fix love, you can toss it"

Seeing that Li Shimin was still talking, Li Feng suddenly said angrily. Then he got up and walked towards the door of the temple. He was so worried that if he listened to it any longer, he would even become bad.

"Ugh"

Seeing Li Feng leave after saying something, Li Shimin was immediately depressed, thinking, it seems that he didn't come up with these ideas.

"Hehe, these fourth brothers, it's really getting more and more interesting. No, you can't let him be so idle, but how can I get him out to do things?"

Watching Li Feng leave, Li Shimin suddenly began to mumble to himself.

Perhaps this is the emperor's mind. You want it, he doesn't give it to you, you don't want it, but he tries to give it to you.
