Chapter 53: Isn't This Pattern Opening?

Chang Lin, who was standing on the side, had a little green face, your father and son are filial, can you let me leave first? Is there anyone like you? I don't want to serve you both, it's scary!

Okay, I just talked about the abolition of the prince before, but now it's good, you two have already started discussing rebellion, right? The point is...... Your Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are really a tiger, don't you know how Your Majesty got on the throne? You dare to say this directly.

Issue...... Although His Majesty kicked His Royal Highness the King of Shu, this is obviously not angry.

You're too double-standard, why don't you see you doing the same to other princes? What? You say that no one in the other princes dares to talk to Li Shimin like this? Oh, that's fine.

"Hehe, then I can't say it in front of other people, I'm not stupid." Li Ke laughed twice and said quickly.

"Alright, that's it. I'll have someone lead an army to find you later. Li Shimin said.

"Dad, forget it, I don't need so many guards." Li Ke thought for a while, and then said, he probably guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, probably because he was afraid that the gate valve family would be unfavorable to him?

This is not something unimaginable, the Tang Dynasty was established at the beginning, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was not these gate valves who took the lead in rebellion.

"Your wings are stiff now, and it doesn't work for Lao Tzu to speak, right?" Li Shimin squinted at him and said.

Li Ke's heart jumped, Li Shimin, who was squinting, was the most terrifying, if he glared at you with joy and anger, it wouldn't be so terrible.

"No, no, no, that's it, Erchen will also share your worries, you can give me some injured and crippled retired soldiers." Li Ke hurriedly spoke.

"Huh? What do you mean? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and was immediately diverted by Li Ke.

Here I have to say that the government military system of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called government military system is actually the one mentioned earlier, under the premise of the Juntian system, the good people who have Yongye Field, every adult man has to serve for one or two years every few years.

This is true of all places in the whole of Datang! And when there is a war, the government soldiers will be directly transferred to serve. So theoretically...... The Tang Dynasty is a soldier for all the people, especially after the first few years, almost all the young and strong men in the Tang Dynasty have joined the army, and these men go home to farm their own fields to support themselves when there is no war, and there is no need for additional expenses from the imperial court.

It can not only ensure a certain combat effectiveness, but also have terrifying troops, and there is no need to spend extra money, which is why Tang Chu's combat effectiveness is so fierce.

However, before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty had a large number of officials, scholars, and gate lords annexed too much land because of the population explosion and serious land annexation, and there was not enough land in the world, the fundamental system of the Juntian system was destroyed, and the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers also declined sharply, which was also one of the reasons for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

The Tang Dynasty itself has a very perfect way of dealing with soldiers, and the "Tang Law" stipulates that if the official household or slave is sick, the chief will not ask for medical treatment, and he will be flogged forty; and if he dies as a result, he shall be imprisoned for one year.

That is to say, whether on the battlefield or serving on the frontier, if a soldier is injured or sick and does not receive timely assistance, his superiors will receive punishment. In the event of death, the person responsible will be sentenced directly to one year in prison.

In addition, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty have special medical officers, including the Imperial Physician Department of the Tang Dynasty, which was not specially designed to treat the emperor and the harem later, but a considerable number of medical officers are responsible for military treatment.

For wounded soldiers, the Tang Dynasty would generally reward them with money, cloth, etc., farm tools, ploughing cattle, and reduce taxes, especially in terms of forced labor.

In addition, for some soldiers who can't go to the battlefield, but still have spare strength, Datang will arrange for these soldiers to be in local defense and public security positions, and eat public meals.

Local officials and military officials are all from these soldiers.

But even so, because Datang has just exterminated the Eastern Turks, and there are still many wars, the number of injuries is huge, and it is also a huge burden for Datang. Li Ke alone knew that there were many soldiers in Chang'an City who were raised by the imperial court, but their positions could not be arranged for the time being.

"It's those soldiers who need to be arranged, who have been injured and are not suitable for the battlefield, you have given it to me, firstly, they also have a certain combat effectiveness, and it should still be possible to protect me, and secondly, after our welfare industrial park is gradually regularized, there are more homeless people and beggars in it, and people need to maintain law and order."

"This also gives them a chance to use their spare heat, so that they don't become a burden to the court, and it also happens to protect my safety." Li Ke said with a smile.

Li Shimin was silent, those people were a hot potato, but they had fought for the Tang Dynasty, killed the enemy, and made meritorious contributions, and the court could not ignore their existence, but there has never been an official, a prince who is willing to help them in the name of a private person.

"Are you sure?" Li Shimin looked at Li Kedao.

"Well, father, you just give it to me, how many people are in total, I'll see if I can eat them all as much as possible." Li Ke nodded.

Li Shimin took a deep breath: "I can tell you in advance, although they have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, they are all disabled, and they are definitely not as good as elite soldiers." ”

"Oh, Dad, I see, can I not know what those soldiers are like? But there is a good saying, they don't need the people of Datang to know them, and they don't need the people of Datang to know them, but the mountains of Datang know them, the rivers know them, and Datang will not forget them. ”

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I have this obligation." Li Ke shrugged his shoulders.

That's a good point! Li Shimin wanted to boast, but he couldn't hold back when the words came to his mouth, this kid ...... Give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, and you can't boast about it.

"I'll have them get their armor ready for you." Li Shimin took a deep breath and said.

"No, I don't." Li Ke waved his hand quickly, "I'd better buy an iron mine myself, make iron for them to equip by myself, and keep your armor for the soldiers on the battlefield." ”

"Good!" Li Shimin agreed, just like Li Ke said, Datang's iron and salt are not state monopolies, but private businesses, so Li Ke naturally has the right to buy iron ore and smelt iron.

"Any more requests?" Li Shimin asked again.

"No, then Dad, I'm going back and grounding." Li Ke was a little impatient.

See him like this...... Li Shimin's originally relieved mood is a little angry, can't you have a little bit of fun?! That's right, Li Shimin deliberately grounded Li Ke outside the city because Li Shimin knew that this kid liked to stay in Zhuangzi outside the city, and he didn't like to go to court, so he banned him outside the city in the name of punishment.

Otherwise, if Li Shimin really wanted to be punished and grounded, he would have been directly grounded in the palace, and he could still be allowed to run outside the city? Isn't that a dog walking, and let go?

"Oh, by the way, Dad, I told them yesterday that I would take them to play, but today I was grounded, and I can't take them to play, otherwise you let them go to my Zhuangzi outside the city to play for two days, and it's not good to save yourself stuffy in the palace every day." Li Ke remembered something again, and hurriedly said, I discussed with the three girls yesterday that the pigeons could not be released.

"Okay, I know, but you go back by yourself first, and I'll arrange for someone." Li Shimin sneered, he likes his sister, right? Very good! I'll send it to you.
