The sunset at dusk envelops the entire palace, making the majestic Taiji Palace even more majestic.

The East Palace Prince's Mansion has changed owners, and Li Shimin, after succeeding the crown prince, still moved from the Chengqian Palace to the East Palace and became the heir of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin had just dealt with the heavy state affairs, took a short break in the back hall, and asked, "Which gentlemen are on duty today?" ”

Immediately, a maid replied: "It's Mr. Gai Wenda, Chu Liang, and Su Mian." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Invite them to the study, I just have something to discuss with them." ”

Gai Wenda, Chu Liang, and Su Mian are literary Confucians among the eighteen bachelors of the Literature Museum, Li Shimin is free and loves military strategy, and is a little disgusted with government affairs. But since he moved to win the heir, he also knows his own shortcomings. Under the advice of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, a literature museum was set up to attract Confucianism from all over the world.

The people recruited by Li Shimin have been strictly checked, and the scribes of the Literature Museum are not good at poetry and painting, but at current affairs and politics, and statecraft.

Li Shimin selected the eighteen most outstanding scholars, known as the eighteen scholars, and divided them into six groups, taking turns to be on duty, living in Li Shimin's house, and whenever he was free, he summoned three of them to discuss current affairs and politics and learn how to govern the country. Li Shimin is already talented and intelligent, and he has put in this effort to learn, and his achievements are extraordinary. Now that he is sitting on the throne of the crown prince, this habit is still unchanged, and every day he will talk with three of the eighteen scholars about the past and the present, and discuss the strategy of governing the country.

Gai Wenda, Chu Liang, and Su Mian were summoned by Li Shimin at this time, and they didn't think it was strange. For Li Shimin's hard work. They are used to it, and they are ashamed of themselves.

Especially Chu Liang, Chu Liang is from Qiantang, Hangzhou. Born in a political family, his great-grandfather was the imperial historian of the Liang State, his grandfather was the prince Zhongsheren, and his father was the secretary and supervisor of the Chen State, and the three of them were all the kind of good ministers who were famous for a while. Chu Liang has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he has been influenced by three generations of his family, and he has a deep understanding of statecraft. At a young age, he is famous all over the world.

He was one of the first ministers to join Li Shimin's command, and the Literature Museum was organized by him, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. He was also the first group of people to understand Li Shimin's thoughts.

At that time, Li Shimin could be described as a novice in government affairs, and he didn't know anything about many places, and he also made a lot of jokes. But in just four years, Li Shimin's political vision is far-sighted. Compared to them, these masters are not far behind. The speed of progress really moved them.

The three of them came to the study together, and after Li Shimin invited them to take a seat, they also began their daily discussions.

On this day, they discussed the economy, how to improve people's livelihood and improve the economy in the shortest possible time.

Li Shimin and Yang Guang can be said to be the same kind of people, they are both the same good and happy. The same mind has ambition and strategy.

The only difference is that Li Shimin can see the facts clearly, and he does not have Yang Guang's lofty style. Yang Guang did it when he thought of it. He doesn't care whether the people can support it or not, whether the economy can support it or not, as long as he can achieve his goals and achieve his plan, he doesn't care whether the people live or die. Perhaps with Yang Guang's experience, although Li Shimin also wanted to achieve the hegemony of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, he has been enduring it, being patient, developing the economy, and improving people's livelihood.

How to use the fastest and most effective way to develop the economy is the key to his consideration.

If you have something to do, even if you find someone to discuss this topic, I hope to find a good way to speed up the economic development of Datang.

The four of them were discussing at the head of the meeting, and the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Highness! There was an official letter coming. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that when Mr. Yu was discussing important matters, he was not allowed to disturb?" ”

"It's from the Great General of the North." The guard outside the house said with some embarrassment. In order to show his respect for the eighteen bachelors, Li Shimin specially ordered that when discussing important matters with the eighteen bachelors, he should not be disturbed at will. However, Li Shimin also ordered that if there was an official document from Luo Shixin in the north, he should remind him, and pass the official document to him as soon as possible, so that he could know.

Now the two orders conflict, so that the guards are not to bother, or are they to bother?

In the end, because I was worried that the military situation from the north was coming, I bothered it.

Li Shimin obviously also thought of his contradictory order, and no longer pursued this issue, thought about it and said, "Take it in first." ”

After receiving the official document from Luo Shixin, Li Shimin first smiled apologetically at Gai Wenda, Chu Liang, and Su Mian, and opened the official document.

At the first glance, my brows couldn't help frowning: this word is really not ordinary ugly.

As a calligraphy enthusiast, he really couldn't complain, and wondered whether he wanted to give Luo Shixin an order to not write official documents by himself.

Luo Shixin is not the only ugly general with this handwriting, and there are even many illiterate ones. It's just that most of their official documents will be ghostwritten, and it is rare to see them like Luo Shixin who do it themselves and are not ugly. In fact, Luo Shixin rarely started writing on his own after accepting Wang Xuance, but he was worried that Wang Xuance was too busy, so he didn't trouble him this time.

Patiently watched it, looking at the mentions and requests one by one, his beard was so angry that he turned up a few times: "This guy is really a lion's big mouth, a brand-new weapon, a brand-new armor, and I don't want to repair and polish it." My Xuanjia soldiers don't have this treatment, he actually opened this mouth? Don't want to face. ”

Throwing the official document aside, wanting to ignore it completely, he accidentally found that in addition to the official document, he also carried a few pieces of paper in the official tape, and he was unwilling to pull it out and take a closer look. Most of the content in the paper is to introduce the situation of the border soldiers, he understands all of this, and he is a little surprised to see that Luo Shixin writes in line with reality, how long has Luo Shixin been to Gyeongju, and he understands it so thoroughly, it is really not simple.

But even so, it's not a reason for him to open his mouth!

Li Shimin pondered in his heart.

As the Tiance general of the Tang Dynasty, the situation of the border army is naturally in his eyes. It's just that Li Jiancheng is in charge of the border army, and he has no right to intervene, so he can only admit it. Now that he is the crown prince, the safety of the frontier depends on his life, and he can't do things himself, and the border army is so decadent. Li Jiancheng lacks good generals, he is not lacking, a few appointments, the three most critical borders arranged the three most outstanding generals of the Tang Dynasty, the purpose is to deal with the Turks, and the second is to let them bring the border army up and become a strong soldier that the Tang Dynasty can rely on.

For the support of the three, he also made an exception.

The war horses traded from Tuli were given to Luo Shixin an additional 10,000 horses, and Li Jing and Li Shiji also added 6,000 horses to the original amount. Because Luo Shixin is his own person, his treatment is much better than that of Li Jing and Li Shiji.

In order to achieve his goal, Li Shimin did not mind giving Luo Shixin some preferential treatment, but this time Luo Shixin's request was really excessive......

New weapons, new armor, this is undoubtedly a huge expense. The effect of old armor and old weapons has been polished and repaired, and there is no difference between the effect of new armor and new weapons, but the cost of each other is huge, especially after the number goes up, it is even more astronomical. Recently, in order to develop the economy, he has been working day and night, how can there be that waste of spare money.

He continued to look at it, and when he saw the reason why Luo Shixin wanted a new weapon in armor, his eyes suddenly showed a shock and emotion, and he involuntarily lost his voice and said: "This ......"

He paused, looked up and said to Gai Wenda, Chu Liang, and Su Mian: "Three gentlemen, I have important matters to deal with here, and I will stop here today." When we go back, the three gentlemen can think about this issue and think about it carefully, and we will continue to discuss it in the future. ”

Gai Wenda, Chu Liang, and Su Mian retired together.

Li Shimin walked out of the study and ordered his subordinates to invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji and others to the conference hall for discussion.

After a short time, the core figures of the Qin Wang Party gathered in one place.

Li Shimin first showed Luo Shixin's official document to several people.

"......" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also felt that Luo Shixin's request was a bit excessive, but they were serious and had a good impression of Luo Shixin, and they didn't know how to speak.

The eldest grandson Wuji observed his words and looks, and saw that Li Shimin's expression was cautious rather than annoyed, and said, "The general should have his own purpose, right?" ”

"What's the purpose?" Hou Junji had already seen that Luo Shixin was unhappy, and at this moment, he grabbed his handle, and naturally fell into the ground, and said: "What other purpose can there be, I think he just relied on his great achievements in Renzhi Palace, and he is proud of his merits." ”

Li Shimin did not answer, and gave them Luo Shixin's letter.

Among all the people, Fang Xuanling was the leader, who took the letter first, and when he saw the wonderful use of the new armor and military uniform named in Luo Shixin's letter, his eyes also showed a moving expression.

Then Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji are all the same, only Hou Junji's face turned red, and he was ashamed with a little jealousy and anger.

"What do you think? Is it feasible? Li Shimin looked at the few people in the hall, and his fingers regularly tapped on the desk.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "The Great General is very human, such an idea is really a bit extraordinary, but there is a certain truth in it. It really fits the ...... of the teenager's heart."

It turned out that in the letter, Luo Shixin adopted the idea of Hitler, the German Führer who single-handedly provoked the world war, that the military uniform must be handsome, so that young people will join the army without hesitation.

In this era, the so-called military uniform is the armor that resists the sword, the stronger the protective ability, the better, as long as it meets this point, and then fit, strong, easy to move, advantageous concealment, etc., where will be handsome, aspects to consider. I never thought that a handsome military uniform would attract other people's desire to join the army and increase the motivation to be a soldier, especially hot-blooded teenagers.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just thought that the golden armor handed down from my ancestors was too handsome, and I must be majestic when I put it on, so I had the urge to be a general" (to be continued............
