[For the emperor, it couldn't be easier to grab money.

Cast a new coin, announce that one new money can be exchanged for ten old coins, and then melt the old money collected and cast it into new money.

That's what Li Zhi did, telling the world to hurry up and exchange for new money, and the old money will be completely abolished by the end of the year at the latest!

The treasury was rapidly filling, and Li Zhi smiled.

Prices are rising rapidly, and people are crying for their fathers and mothers.

This edict directly tripled the price of grain and cloth in the market, and the wave of street scolding in various places also rose wave after wave.

Markets everywhere either barter or simply go on strike.

The businessmen talked a lot, and vaguely remembered that the last time this kind of situation was at the end of the Han Dynasty, our son of heaven was taken away by the surname Cao?

It wasn't until half a year later that Li Zhi reluctantly issued an edict to abolish the new money, and everything was as usual.

In the past, Gaozong changed his way to collect money, and on the other hand, he was slashing the welfare of soldiers one after another.

The emperor's life is getting more and more luxurious, and the life of the soldier is getting worse and worse, and in this case, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will almost inevitably decline. 】

Li Shimin felt that the headache that had been far away from him had a tendency to return at this time.

And now I understand why I was so complicated when I saw Li Zhi recruit 300,000 troops.

I've never been so luxurious!

This is all my family money!

At this time, Li Shimin couldn't agree more with the sentence "The cub sells Yetian is not distressed" said by later generations.

"I didn't think that the cost of sealing Zen was actually scraped by the people!"

"Later generations will also know that the people are like water and the king is like a boat, and my son dares to forget!"

At this time, a certain urgency in Li Shimin's heart also became more and more intense.

Can't beat that Xuanzong and the like, and can't beat you, Gaozong?

I thought that this hundred years of prosperity was a succession of generations of ministers and emperors, but as a result:

"I've only been in Karma for more than ten years, and Xiao'er An dares to act like this!"

It sounds strange to say that he collapsed, so Li Shimin is more and more fond of using the novelty of this later life.

As for the ministers of the Ganlu Palace, listening to the emperor scolding angrily in front, there was a turn in the back, which suddenly made everyone feel a little crying and laughing.

Du Ruhui chose to explain:

"Zhenguan once forged ahead, and the soldiers worked together with everyone to expand the territory, and the military achievements in the past battles were high, and the rewards were rich."

"Later, the west of the Green Ridge is too far away from the Central Plains, and the Liaodong has been fighting for thirteen years, and the gains may not be as rich as the first battle of the Jieli War."

Li Shimin nodded, this is also what he thought of just now.

According to the light curtain, you can raise ten and get hundreds, of course, you can boast of winning the hearts of the people, but more bluntly it should be that Zhenguan once served in the army and rewarded a lot.

During the reign of the prince, it has changed from opening the territory to guarding the foundation, and it is impossible to reproduce the rich rewards of the Zhenguan Dynasty, but:

"Nor should it be lost!"

Li Shimin is the most unacceptable to this.

Even if we don't talk about the love of the soldiers' robes for the time being.

The victorious soldiers saw that those who fought bravely and sacrificed their lives for the country had nothing and didn't care about it, and who dared to fight bravely to be the first under the push of themselves and others?

Ignore the dead and dig the martial roots of the Tang Dynasty!

Waste coins back and forth, lose the foundation of the people's trust.

Li Shimin couldn't understand that he had only been in the country for more than ten years, how could this son lift a knife to the Tang Dynasty, and the knives were all critical.

The eldest grandson Wuji came up again:

"The prince now has the teachings of His Majesty, even if he ascends to the throne in the future, he will inherit His Majesty's humble and accepting advice, and there will be Tang Chen's auxiliary advice on the loyal and good death festival outside, so why worry about uncertain state affairs?"

Hou Junji shrank behind and looked at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji, sneering silently.

The meaning of this Qi Guogong's words is too obvious, isn't it just secretly rubbing and saying:

Since there is a problem with the rule of the prince, he is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity, the authorities are fan.

Looking at Zheng Rentai, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and other Zhenguan relics are reused, it can be seen that this prince has His Majesty's legacy and is more nostalgic.

As a result, I only killed you, and it still made people go to Lingnan to be hanged.

can force his nephew to this one, one can imagine how this Duke of Qi arbitrarily exercised his dictatorship at that time.

On the other hand, our old marquis, the arson and plunder may be mismanaged by the soldiers, and the involvement in the rebellion may be even more affected.

Your Majesty, look at me, our old marquis is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty!

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't have time to deal with the two of them, and was explaining to Fang Xuanling at this time:

"Book of Jin" hurry up and start repairing, he doesn't expect that emperor fan anymore.

[Another reason for the poor combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers is the abandonment of Ma Zheng.

Speaking of this, I have to mention an absolute hero who did not show the mountain dew during the Zhenguan period: long live the servant Zhang.

At the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, because of the war, the national horses of the Sui Dynasty were basically robbed by the Turks, so they left 3,000 horses and were moved to Longyou by Li Yuan for grazing.

Later, Li Shimin sent Zhang Wansui to manage the horse farm, and this one has been doing it for a lifetime.

Until the end of Zhenguan, Li Shimin left 700,000 war horses for Li Zhi.

This is also the fundamental guarantee of the combat strength of the Tang Army in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Long live Zhang's talent for raising horses can be seen.

Then after the death of this buddy, the Tang Dynasty Ma Zheng also began to corrupt, and when Xuanzong took over, there were only 240,000 horses left.

The problem of insufficient horses, Wei Yuanzhong also talked about this problem in a book during Gaozong's time, and finally gave a suggestion to cancel the ban on horses.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, horses were divided into three classes according to their shoulder height, the highest was a big horse, followed by a small horse, and the lowest was a Shu horse, which could basically only be used for grinding.

It was still because of the problem of insufficient horses in the early Tang Dynasty, so the limited horse order at that time stipulated that horses were not allowed to be used for civilian use, and could only be used for military use or as a means of transportation for high-ranking officials above the third rank.

Wei Yuanzhong suggested that this ban be lifted and that the people could also ride horses, so that the people would have the motivation to train good horses, and the government would just buy them from the people.

But regarding this suggestion, although Li Zhi passed it, it is still the same old problem, if it is not for himself and his wife, he is not willing to spend more.

So in the end, this policy can't be said to be useless, it can only be said that it is useless.

Later, Tang Xuanzong, who still wanted to be a "half-born Ming Jun", patched this policy and gave profits to private horse breeders, and finally formed a unique scene in the Tang Dynasty when it opened the Yuan Dynasty:

"Everyone has a private horse"

In other words, the soldiers who were recruited all came on their horses.

Xuanzong's policy was largely based on Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty's Horse Restoration Order, encouraging the common people to raise private horses and giving subsidies to increase the overall number of horses in the empire.

This is also the reason why the "horse protection law" of the Song Dynasty was not used, the private horses of the Han and Tang dynasties were the people's own, and the horse politics of the Song Dynasty was "the people's pastoral official horse" to put it bluntly.

The people, herdsmen, and horses belong to a kind of compulsory apportionment, and the so-called subsidy will be determined according to the quality of the horse when you hand over the horse, in this case, the people who are forced to apportionment will naturally deal with it casually.

However, the reason why the Song Dynasty could not raise horses was not only the reason why the policy was not good, but even all aspects.

For example, Wang Yuyan of the Song Dynasty wrote a rather nonsense story:

It starts with a friend of mine who went to visit the horse farm and saw a horse breeder breeding a mare, and the mare committed suicide after breeding.

Why? Because the mare found out that it was his own daughter horse that he was mating with.

This is basically the style of some rotten Confucians in the Song Dynasty, you can't just talk about things, you have to pull out a "I have a friend", and then use things to metaphor.

In fact, the practice of horse breeders criticized by this great Confucian is a very normal backcrossing method in modern animal husbandry law, which is part of selective breeding.

Breeding and conservation have always been weaknesses in the history of horse breeding in China for thousands of years.

It is said that one of the reasons why the horse administration in the Song Dynasty was not good was because of the loss of horse breeding land and the lack of horse breeding in the Western Regions.

However, from the perspective of modern breeding, horses of the same pedigree with a difference of less than 20 cm in shoulder height are normal.

The significance of selection and conservation lies in the artificial selection of improved breeds, manual intervention and breeding, and finally through the improvement of generations to make horse breeds more excellent, more in line with the needs of civilian and combat.

As lamented in ancient times, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty introduced the Dawan horse, and as a result, the famous horse bloodline gradually died out, which can be regarded as a failure of conservation, and the failure to cultivate a good hybrid breed of horse is a failure of breeding.

Moreover, compared with the Han and Tang dynasties, the horse breeding standards of the Song Dynasty also added beans and bran, so in theory, horses should be stronger.

But in the end, the result is the opposite, to put it bluntly, it is not possible to breed horses.

As for the Ming Dynasty, which raised horses with whole beans and could raise sweaty horses in Hebei, it was too bullying compared to its predecessors. 】

"This Tang people are unreasonable, and the most inferior can be called a horse, why is it called a Shu horse?"

Zhang Song, a native of Shuzhong, felt full of malice.

Zhang Fei stood up and comforted him:

"Isn't that poetry still coming to Shu? Didn't Li Bai also come out of Shu? ”

"There are many good talents here, and they all pass on the name of Shuzhong!"

Zhang Song also smiled when he thought of this, he was a fellow villager with Shixian, how to say it, he was a little excited when he thought about it.

Immediately, Zhang Fei also made persistent efforts:

"And that Xuanzong, that Xuanzong, aren't they all fleeing to Shu to seek a place of peace and security?"

Zhang Songden felt complicated, this doesn't seem to have anything to be proud of......

Liu Bei glared angrily directly, and almost wanted to get up.

Zhang Fei hurriedly skipped over and went to talk to the military advisor:

"Military advisor, it's not strange that this Song talks about humanity with beasts, and calls him brothers with thieves!"

Kong Ming was busy thinking about this theory of conservation and breeding, and when he heard this, he just nodded slightly, immersed in his own thoughts.

Fa Zheng came over:

"I don't know if this Song Dynasty's great Confucian eats dolphins, and whether he can talk to dolphins about humanity and righteousness."

In the Han Dynasty, the castrated pig was called a pig, and the castrated pig was called a porpoise.

Zhang Fei shook his head:

"Xiaozhi doesn't understand, Da Ru still has to eat meat, and he doesn't have to ride an inferior horse to fight in front."

Speaking of which, Zhang Fei sighed:

"This Great Song Dynasty, how can you feel that it is so difficult to join the army?"

Fa Zheng silently shrank back, how could he not get the title of a French military division from Yide?

After glaring angrily at the third brother, Liu Bei was sincerely envious now:

"How can this Li Shimin be so lucky, and he has good talents in all positions?"

Zhang Fei saw that his brother didn't draw his sword, so he spoke:

"It can't be said that it is a way to exchange the throne for luck."

Second, more quickly.

Yesterday and today's Swiss wheel almost drained people.
