Chapter 1015: The Governor of Goguryeo
The two grandparents and grandchildren praised each other, and the other three people present were about to fall asleep, if you want to talk about political acting, these three people are not bad at all, but if you want to watch others act, the three of them are not much interested.
Seeing that Fang Xuanling was already yawning, Li Shimin remembered serious things.
"The imperial court is preparing to reorganize the surrounding areas, so some personnel need to be replaced, you show him, after all, these places were brought down by him, and he has the right to make suggestions in this regard."
Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to come up with a notebook, which was a list drawn up by Fang Xuanling, including Tuyuhun Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo and Gaochang, and a number of chief executives and local officials should be replaced.
It is said that as long as Li Shimin makes a holy decree, then these things don't matter, do the people below still dare to disobey the order? Even if those people were Li Xiang's people, they didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks about the Tang Dynasty now.
Li Xiang had heard about this for a long time, and Li Shimin also asked Fang Xuanling to pass Li Xiang's breath, among the newly appointed officials, Li Xiang's people accounted for one-third, which is already a very high proportion, and Li Shimin's people accounted for one-third, as for the remaining third, it must be scored to the major families, which can be regarded as a way to maintain stability.
When he didn't cross over, Li Xiang also thought that the world was full of fairness, and everything was fought for by exams, but after becoming the emperor's grandson, he realized how ridiculous his idea was, the major families themselves were the interests of various places, although after one choice after another, Li Xiang brought them a lot of losses, but they still have a huge power in the local area.
And now there are too few scholars, if you are ready to use the imperial examination to compete fairly, then the poor do not have many opportunities, most of the people have just solved the problem of food and clothing, although Li Xiang has set up a lot of free schools in the country, but those children are still under the age of ten, how to compete with the children of the nobility?
According to Li Xiang's plan, about five or six years later, the first batch of civilian children will be ushered in the imperial examination, and that time is the time to change the entire officialdom.
"Sun Er has no objection to this, but he is the governor of Goguryeo, although he thinks it is better for Fang Yiai to continue to serve as him."
When Li Xiang said this, Fang Xuanling frowned beside him, although this guy has other sons, but it is obvious that only this son has survived, and he has done a good job in the position of the governor of Goguryeo.
But now Li Xiang is actually blocked, if this is the case, and then he will serve in Goguryeo, it will be three years later, what is the situation in the court three years later, Fang Xuanling is really hard to say, and now there are many young people who have emerged.
Because Li Xiang boldly used young people, Li Shimin was also ready to learn from Li Xiang, taking the current Zhongshu Province as an example, he entered five young officials within a year, although he did not have much power, but it also made Fang Xuanling feel huge pressure, so he took advantage of the right in his hands to arrange everything for his son in the future, which is also what Fang Xuanling is thinking now.
"Do you have any other plans in Goguryeo?"
Li Shimin knew that Li Xiang and Fang Xuanling had always been good friends, and now was an important time for his son to rise, if there was nothing else, Li Xiang would definitely not be stuck in his love.
"The Goryeo Naval Division has been formed, although the combat strength is not as good as the Dengzhou Naval Division, but it also has the power of a battle, although it is ready to fight across the sea and directly take Fuso."
When he was in Nanzhao, Li Xiang was already planning to do this, what is the situation in the country of Fusang? Li Xiang's heart is clear, don't look at them now worship the Tang Dynasty very much, but they have always had wolf ambitions in their hearts, and they always feel that they are the smartest nation in the world, but they grew up in a marginal island country, and they have always been dissatisfied in their hearts, and they always want to occupy my Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Li Shimin didn't know these things, according to Li Shimin's thoughts, Fusang often sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and he respected my Tang Dynasty very much, and he could almost be regarded as a vassal state, and there was no need to occupy them.
However, Nanzhao was also such a country before, and Li Shimin did not think about occupying here, but now after occupying Nanzhao, Li Shimin feels more at ease, the most important thing is that Li Xiang's war will not bring a financial burden to the country, but often brings some unexpected gains to the country, and the casualties of the army are also within the acceptable range.
"And how many troops are you going to use?"
As soon as I heard Li Shimin say this, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at each other, our emperor is so happy, this is known to everyone, and now he has successfully ignited that small flame by Li Xiang, thinking that he can leave a mark in the history books, Li Shimin is estimated to approve it again.
If he continued to stay on the governor of Goguryeo, Fang Xuanling was unwilling to let his son waste time there, after all, the place had been pacified, and it was impossible for new credit to be generated, but if he was to use Goguryeo as a base and then attack Fusang, then Fang Xuanling would be willing to let his son stay there.
"17,000 Goryeo sailors, plus 20,000 local highland troops, 3,000 Chang'an elite cavalry are enough......"
Li Xiang thought for a while and said, he also knew what Li Shimin was thinking in his heart, if it was a large-scale mobilization of troops from Chang'an City, Li Shimin might not be happy, but if you use the local army of Goguryeo, then you can use as much as you want, we don't even care, anyway, the expenses of those people do not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and they are all raised by the governors' mansions themselves.
"Who do you want to worship?"
When Li Shimin said this, everyone present pricked up their ears, Li Xiang has never lost foreign wars over the years, if he can let his back follow, it is equivalent to picking up credit in the past, who doesn't want to let his juniors have a military merit? In the future, even if he makes any mistakes, depending on the merits he has gained on the battlefield, Li Shimin will definitely open his face.
