The first year of Wing Lung in August.

The autumn is high and cool, and since Li Xiang ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, Li Chengqian's side has slowly come out of everyone's field of vision.

When everything was put down, I felt a little calmer in my heart.

If you are usually bored, you can make your own tea and sit in the courtyard to rest.

And then talk from time to time......

Li Zhong would also bring a whole sheep and take it to him to roast.

All I can say is......

His teacher is still the same as he was at the beginning, and sometimes even surpasses, but nothing more.

Looking at the middle of the courtyard, the roasted whole sheep was sizzling, and his teacher was covered with a quilt, lying sweetly on the ground in the corridor aisle.

Sometimes......

He couldn't help but wonder if he had come to roast sheep or to sleep.

Of course, there is no way for two people to eat a whole sheep.

At this time......

His teacher would distribute the sheep to the slaves and maids who served on the side.

Although he didn't know what to say, his teacher was a little different from others.

At least......

Others would never give this mutton to these slaves around them to eat.

Or rather......

Teacher, he just took a fancy to those slaves.

It is not excluded that there is such a possibility!

Speaking of which......

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a very magical phenomenon.

That is, the number of palace maids is far greater than that of the chamberlain.

But if you think about it.

It's not like I can't understand it.

After all, if you are an inner servant, you will be castrated, and it will be easy to die if castrated.

Unless the whole family was confiscated for a crime, or if they couldn't survive, they signed up to enter the palace, if not these two things, then who would want to enter the palace as a chamberlain.

Besides, your court can't say that you want to recruit men to serve as chamberlains.

Then I'm sure no one else will do it.

What's more, being a eunuch in the early Tang Dynasty really has no future.

It's not like the further you go, the more powerful this eunuch becomes.

Looking at his teacher, he gets up to eat when he is full, and when he is full, he pats his ass and leaves, which is probably the realm of his teacher.

It's always so free-flowing!

Just like then!

After watching his teacher's performance, Li Chengqian's heart was even wider.

Yes!

People, why do you have to live so tiredly.

But seeing that his teacher slept so peacefully, he was really afraid that one day, his teacher would fall asleep like this and he wouldn't be able to get up.

……

Li Xiang ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne.

Datang has not changed much in the general direction.

On the contrary, the importance of the Western Regions has deepened.

Other than that......

This year, Li Xiang's heirs are naturally looking forward to it one by one.

I hope that my father can find a good way out for him.

In the past, they would definitely be reluctant to go to the Western Regions.

But......

It is said that Li Huanwen's kid has now gained a firm foothold in the Western Regions.

It is even said to have a population of more than a million people.

Although they haven't been to the Western Regions yet, they can imagine that Li Huanwen is definitely doing very well now.

And for now......

It seems that there is only one way out for them too.

That is to be the king of a country, or else......

Are you willing to stay in Datang and just be a local assassin?

The development behind this is very different!

If it is a local assassin history, it may be a local assassin history in this life.

The descendants of the future generations will not be able to share anything.

But if it's to go outside......

Then maybe there's a chance to lose it.

Thereupon......

Some people are already jumping on the bandwagon.

Li Xiang did not refuse.

This time......

Just choose the northern part of Persia.

Over there, it seems to be pretty good for farming.

And......

This place itself was ceded to them Datang.

In terms of reasoning, it also makes sense.

Subsequently......

A nationwide mobilization was carried out.

Of course!

In the process of mobilization, there will still be opposition from some conservatives.

The main thing is that these things thousands of miles away don't seem to have much effect on Datang.

Merely......

Just one can be used as an obstacle for Datang in the future.

Controlling the countries of the Western Regions for the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that this is enough.

As a man, you have to take a long-term view.

Now that Datang supports these kings to build a country abroad, in terms of income, it is definitely a loss.

Even in the future, maybe I will meet with the Tang Dynasty.

But in any case, this external development is better than internal fighting.

And......

In fact, Datang did not lose much, usually speaking, it is just a hundred steam locomotives and tens of thousands of people.

If there is anything, it is the annual military spending.

Now on the Persian side, it should be said that it is okay, and there is a high probability that there is no need for war.

Even if it is a war, Hu soldiers can be recruited to participate in the war.

If the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is here, it may only need a few thousand people.

In fact......

Judging by Li Chong's military reforms.

At this time, it is still very necessary to fight from time to time.

Other than that......

All students who enter the country are required to participate in military training and study relevant military theory courses before entering the school.

If we say that economic reform is to change from collecting taxes from the common people to collecting taxes from merchants.

Military reform, then, is to strengthen military education and patriotic education, and also to cultivate the people's sense of crisis.

It's a pity......

Times are different.

Li Chong can't take the concept of later generations and apply it to the ancients.

People of later generations, it is because they have almost lost the country and the species, and there are external forces staring at it, so they feel that patriotism is very important.

But Datang, if you make him patriotic, you might as well give him more benefits.

Lee's biggest flaw at present is that he is unable to implement political reforms.

In fact, political reform, economic reform, and military reform are the same.

If you lack one, it will be difficult to do it like the future generations.

That can only be what to do?

I don't talk to you about patriotism.

But......

I'm going to make up some songs to build your pride and sense of belonging.

Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, protection of the country, and protection of the people are all integrated into the song.

And then......

The welfare of this soldier naturally has to be promoted together, otherwise what is the use of you just saying nice things.

This set of operations down...... Do you still need to worry about Datang's problems in national defense?

Surely there will be no problem.

In fact......

In terms of military reforms, there are many more.

For example, there should be a system of universal military service, not that only government soldiers should be required to serve.

Li Chongdu has already written these questions to Li Xiang.

Now that Li Xiang has ascended the throne, then the next thing is to see what he does.

And Li Chong is here.

Naturally, I played well with the new Silla maid every day.

In fact......

At first, Li Zhong refused.

After all, in his opinion, Silla maids are far less petite and cute than Japanese maids.

But since he saw the other party's delicate face, especially his own face control, Li Chong felt that it seemed to be okay.
