Since ancient times, it has been said that it is the era of so-and-so prosperity and the rule of so-and-so, which is nothing more than two situations, one is the great economic prosperity, and the other is the unprecedented military strength, but often the great economic prosperity will be replaced by the military prosperity, because the economic prosperity does not represent the strength of the country, such as the Northern Song Dynasty, no one said that the Northern Song Dynasty had a certain prosperity and the rule of such and such a so, but the Northern Song Dynasty is indeed the richest period in Chinese history, but it is accompanied by endless humiliation.

Therefore, everything that can be called the prosperity of a certain or the rule of a certain is an era when the culture and martial arts have been pushed to the peak or the era of small high and tide, such as the rule of Wenjing, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the rule of the Kaihuang, the rule of Zhenguan, the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, etc., there are few times of great prosperity in Chinese history, not only economic prosperity and political prosperity, but also military strength, the Central Plains Dynasty can press the Hu people to the ground and abuse them, which is worthy of the name of the prosperous era.

After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Suning did not find any obvious changes between him and the past, he was not excited, he was not happy to sleep, from the first day of being the emperor, he insisted on getting up at the hour and falling asleep at the hour, ensuring that he must have four hours of sleep, and in the morning he will play a set of boxing or dance a piece of swordsmanship, he will take a nap for half an hour in the afternoon, and he will drink a glass of milk every day, the imperial meal is very simple, and all the dishes are required by Li Chengqian.

A piece of meat, a piece of vegetables, a piece of soup, a portion of rice, that's all, he ordered everyone in the inner palace to have such a standard of food, unless there is a heavy day, every New Year's holiday, with his personal permission, otherwise it is absolutely not allowed to appear such a luxurious meal as big fish and meat, especially children, especially his own children. The diet of the crown prince Li Xiang and the second prince Li Ju is also strictly controlled, unless it is a festival or birthday, Li Xiang and Li Ju's favorite fried food is never allowed to appear, and they must eat enough vegetables and fruits every day, and the meals are rationed, and they are not allowed to eat more. Not a single grain of rice is also allowed to be left.

When eating, Li Chengqian will try to squeeze out time to eat with his children, he and Su Shi take their two sons to eat together, sit at a table, and try to do this for lunch and dinner every day, unless he is too busy with state affairs and he has no time to eat, he will definitely accompany the children to eat together.

The child's schoolwork was strictly watched by him, and he chose teachers who had educated him, such as Kong Yingda. For example, Ma Zhou, such as Yu Shinan and other well-educated people, but from time to time he will also ask Suning to take his two sons to play in the imperial garden, he said that Suning is the best at playing, so it is most suitable to play with children, children can not always learn, but also need to relax, this is the experience he learned from Suning's experience in educating children. I think it's very effective.

Suning was helpless about this......

Li Xiang and Li Ju didn't learn a lot, because they were still relatively young. It is still in the stage of literacy and reading, but Li Chengqian will take the school as long as he has time, Li Xiang and Li Ju's schoolwork, and sometimes Li Xiang and Li Ju forget to read because they are playful, and after being checked out by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian will reprimand them and not allow them to play with Suning tomorrow. So invisibly, playing with Suning has become the thing they are looking forward to the most.

Li Chengqian also seems to be more strict with the family, he seems to have received some inspiration from his mother or something, and he is very strict with the family, except for the queen. He also set up his two concubines Wang and Zhang as Concubine Li and Duan Concubine, at present he only has these three women, it seems that he does not plan to accept other concubines in a short period of time, he asked Wang and Zhang not to have any disobedience to the queen Su, he knows that Su has a generous and gentle temperament, and is easy to be bullied, so he made a clear posture, whoever dares to disobey the queen, I will abolish whom, this is a family law, I can't say one or two in the Tang Dynasty, but in this family, I am the sky.

Somehow, Li Chengqian seems to have insight into all the problems in Li Erma's family when he was the emperor, which is particularly important for his own governance, especially after Li Erma's abdication, some princesses who married out of power and bullied her husband's family, which made Li Chengqian feel angry, the princess of the Tang Dynasty can only marry a meritorious minister, this is the dynasty's mercy to the meritorious hero, but he didn't expect that there would be a barbaric princess who bullied her husband and posed to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, which was simply a loss of royal face.

Li Chengqian was furious, and immediately recruited all his sisters and his father's daughters into the palace, and reprimanded the princesses with bad deeds one after another, it is said that five or six princesses were directly said to cry that day, and the rest of the princesses were also so frightened that they didn't dare to say a mouthful, and they were much more honest after returning home, which made many heroes grateful to Li Chengqian, and the matter spread to the palace of Li Ermaxi and Empress Changsun in Sanyuan County, Li Erma Xià smiled and said that Li Chengqian had learned how to govern the family, Don't worry about anything else.

After Li Er Majesty left, he took away all his concubines and palace people who were willing to follow him away, and stayed in the palace in Sanyuan County to retire with him, those are the old people in the palace, and the old people who have served Li Er Majesty and Empress Changsun for more than ten or twenty years in the palace, so as soon as these people left, the palace suddenly became much empty, and there were ministers who built a lot of money Li Chengqian did his best to start the selection of concubines, Li Chengqian said that he had just ascended the throne, and it was the time to show his strength to govern the country, and the people could not be full, how could I dare to think about lust and lust?

This drew another bunch of accolades.

Suning gradually felt that Li Chengqian was going to complete the oath he made when he was the prince one by one, it seems that he has always thought that his father is a master in governing the country, but in governing the family, his father is a person who has no ideas, and the Li family raises the child as a wolf, which is what Li Ermajesty said to Li Chengqian personally, but Li Chengqian does not agree with this proposition, Li Chengqian thinks that it is okay to raise an elephant, why must he raise a wolf?

Therefore, in the private gathering, in the small drinking party between Li Chengqian and Suning alone, Li Chengqian always thought that his father's strategy for governing the family was wrong, so he wanted to change, but his father was wise in governing the country, so he had to learn, and he did not interrupt the big changes in the strategies that his father left behind, but made small repairs.

Treating the entire Liaodong Dao, he advocated focusing on Fu and supplementing with suppression, and those people were not necessarily the ones who wanted to create the Tang Dynasty. Maybe their original intention was just because they had no food to eat or no way to live, they needed to eat, they needed a way to live, so they chose to rebel, even if they were foreigners, but they were also human beings. These rebels should be killed, and those who should be reformed through labor should be reformed through labor, but we cannot force all aliens to rebel.

Some of them already hold Datang ID cards and are the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang army treats them very roughly, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty do not pay attention to the sympathy of these aliens, but only pay attention to protecting the rights and interests of the Han people, so this has caused the situation of continuous resistance of the aliens in the newly occupied areas, he believes. It is necessary to give the same treatment to the Han people in some aspects, and they must not let go only in terms of core rights and interests, and they must not let go until a few generations later, when they have been completely assimilated by the Han people.

For the land of the Western Regions and the homeland of Tubo, he also advocated that Fu should be the mainstay, supplemented by suppression, and those places were already bitter and cold. It's normal for people not to survive, but some officials only care about the interests of the Han Chinese. I don't care about the interests of aliens, aliens are also human beings and need to survive, they also have Datang ID cards, and when Datang persuaded them, he promised to give them the same treatment, but now Datang has not kept his promise. This is a great breach of trust.

All in all, Li Chengqian hopes to bring about a change in the people, to bring the people who were originally influenced by the fighting ideology and full of fighting consciousness back to the normal track of life, instead of always being in the era of war, shouting for labor reform or extermination when they hear the rebellion of other races. It is an unhealthy, healthy country that can fight, can live, can be peaceful, and is not afraid of aggression, rather than blindly fighting and fighting.

Since Zhenguan four years ago, Datang has fought enough, you can take a rest, recuperate, let the army nourish fat, let the combat power accumulate more, let the energy fully nourish the body, and when it is time to fight, destroy the enemy in one go.

At the same time, Li Chengqian was also trying to solve the problem of the government soldiers and the standing army that Li Er Majesty had emphasized before his abdication, the standing army played an increasingly important role in the war, and even when many battles occurred, the government soldiers did not have time to call, the standing army had already quelled the rebellion, and even some military government soldiers had not fought for several years, because the war in the Tang Dynasty was getting farther and farther away from the mainland, exceeding the maximum distance that the government soldiers could bear, and the standing army had to be used.

As for the local rebellion, the Tang Dynasty also has the guards of the standing garrison, and the government soldiers have no time to assemble and go out, and the state assassin and the county order have mobilized the standing guard army to quell the rebellion, and the government soldiers seem to have lost their usefulness, which makes many government soldiers feel dissatisfied, the reason why they do government soldiers is because they hope to make war achievements in the interval between farming, but now the emergence of the standing army makes them useless.

They were very dissatisfied, and protested many times, Li Erma Xià has not been able to think of any way to solve it, plus he is ready to abdicate, simply does not solve it, leaving Li Chengqian to have a headache, Li Chengqian is naturally a headache, and found Suning to discuss secretly, Suning told him a final solution - abolish the government military system, fully implement the standing army system, and let the Tang Dynasty raise a standing army that completely belongs to the country, eat imperial food, and receive military salaries, professional soldiers who are responsible for fighting and defending the country.

The source of the standing army can be recruited in a short period of time, but in the long run, after the population is abundant enough, Suning put forward a relatively bold idea - compulsory military service system, every eighteen-year-old adult man in the Tang Dynasty has the obligation to be a soldier, the time limit is three years, from eighteen to twenty years old, twenty-one years old can choose to leave the barracks or continue to develop in the army to become a standing army, that is to say, from the age of eighteen to twenty years old are compulsory soldiers, and after the age of twenty, you can choose to become a standing army, to be a professional soldier, or to leave the army and return home to continue studying, or to engage in other occupations.

No matter who it is, as long as it is an adult man, even if it is a college student who is studying, it must take three years to experience in the army, and then he can re-enter the society, the reason given by Suning is that he has learned the responsibility of a man through the military career, and after entering the society, he will be a man, not a soft bone, even if it is a civilian official, he must have blood, backbone, dare to fight unfair things, and dare to ask for his life for the people.

Li Chengqian was shocked by this bold idea, and after a little calculation, he knew that it could not be done with the current population base of the Tang Dynasty, and Suning also knew that the backwardness of the productive forces made it impossible to implement the compulsory military service system in ancient times, so Suning just gave a plan and a rough timetable, and let Li Chengqian ponder and decide for himself.

The implementation of the compulsory military service system is unrealistic for the current Datang, the backwardness of the productive forces makes a large number of young and strong labor force go to the battlefield, there will inevitably be a shortage of labor, and the population base is not large, whether there are so many suitable men I don't know, now when everyone is not prepared to forcibly implement such a policy that affects the whole body, it is a very irresponsible move, and it will also cause a very strict problem.

Li Chengqian felt that he could not do this for the time being, but the abolition of the government military system seemed to be a way to solve the current problem, and after the abolition of the government military system, arranging for those government soldiers to become professional soldiers or simply farming might also be a method; as for compulsory military service, every adult man should be a soldier, this idea is too illusory, Li Chengqian feels that he should not be able to see it in his lifetime.

But who can predict this kind of thing accurately? (To be continued......)
