Lu Cai took a deep breath and said, "Lu Cai, Lu Chuzhi, is one of the planners of the Musician's plan, and I am the saint and the ministers to fully explain the Musician's plan."
"As the name suggests, the musician plan can be understood literally, which is the plan to get the musician into the army."
Hearing this, the ministers present who had not read the information were a little noisy and ridiculous, but they did not stop Lu Cai from saying anything.
Because it doesn't make sense, after all, Lu Cai got the support of Li Tai, so he will definitely finish this sentence.
When Lu Cai saw that although everyone was talking, he did not stop him, and his words naturally became more and more fluent.
Lu Cai continued: "This matter starts with why the music can make the troops start from the arrival of the elite soldiers.
Because the soldiers' span from the main soldiers to the elite is the entire army relying on organizational strength as a whole, so that the army can resonate with the outside world in terms of will, skills and qualities, and create a distorted will and possess the talent of the War Department.
The existence of military music can strengthen organizational strength, guide willpower, and complete the will of the entire legion.
In other words, according to normal principles, unless musicians can touch the spirit with music, they cannot use music to help the War Department transform from a regular soldier to an elite."
"Since that's the case, may you think this matter is necessary!" Wen Yanbo stood up and frowned.
"Of course not!" Lu Cai shook his head and continued, "Only by knowing the whole story of this matter can we start to solve this matter.
After all, I, Lu Cai, have only one person, and it is impossible to transform into tens of millions and help each army complete the transformation of elite troops."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, after all, Lu Cai was just one person.
Not to mention that Lu Cai didn't have this time, even if Lu Cai was willing to do this, the court wouldn't really use him like this.
After all, this is already a mature physique, and there must be checks and balances between each other. If they are entrusted to Lu Cai, then what will happen to Lu Cai rebellion one day?
Although this is only a small possibility, the reality is that except for Emperor Li Shimin, no one in the court can hold great power. At most, Li Shimin gave someone the qualification to handle it with full authority, such as Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin gave Fang Xuanling the qualification to perform his internal affairs talents on his own, so Fang Xuanling could perform in the court on his own.
Like streamlining the officials of the court and recommending capable talents, think about it, almost all the ministers of the Tang Dynasty now have close ties with Fang Xuanling. If other dynasties are changed, those who are emperors will definitely not be able to sleep or eat, but Li Shimin doesn't care.
.
But even so, it was only Fang Xuanling who enjoyed this special empowerment, and Lu Cai naturally did not have the qualification to enjoy it.
"So, King Yue made the plan, I will supplement it and completed the musician plan, so that ordinary musicians can also assist the army from regular soldiers to elites!" Lu Cai said, "In this way, the strength of the Tang army is comprehensively increased!
”
"The King of Yue's plan is naturally good!" Fang Xuanling said, "but the plan does not say how to make ordinary musicians reach the level of using music to touch the spiritual will that only top musicians like you can reach.
Is it the Yin and Yang lines attached to the last page of the plan? Is that picture I can't understand?"
Faced with Fang Xuanling's calmness, Lu Cai said, "This is the music score I formulated based on the prompts of King Yue, combining numerical images with music, with the Bagua Yin and Yang lines instead of the five tones, and using markings to represent the scales.
This page is a song.”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Taichang Shaoqing Zu Xiaosun couldn't help but snatch the song, interpreted the score in five tones, and quickly said:
"The King of Qin broke the formation and joy."
Zu Xiaosun looked at the music score in front of him and suddenly realized that as a musician, he immediately understood the meaning of the music score, and even more understood the meaning of the annotation above to the music industry.
You should know that there were many musical songs in ancient China that were not passed down. Not only were there few talents who studied music, but there were few and few.
More importantly, there was no unified standard of pitch and tone before Wang Baochang compiled the "Score of Music", and even after the combination of the theory of the law of the ancestor Xiaosun and Zhang Wenshou's "The Ming of the Ears" was completed, Solve the problems of tune and the twelve-logical palaces in practice.
It can be said that many ancient music scores passed down from ancient times did not have a unified music standard, which led to several generations of time when a guqin score was placed in front of you, and you were like modern people watching the ancient breathing method, completely can't read.
At most, people with a very good sound can simulate the environment in which the ancients are based on the descriptions of the ancients, and perform ancient music scores bit by bit in modern ways, making it difficult to get the meaning.
But now Zu Xiaosun looked at the music score in front of him, although it was a bit difficult to understand at the beginning.
But for a musician like himself who restored the ancient piano score and wanted to spit, now that he saw such a music score that he almost knew all of a sudden, Zu Xiaosun must have, that this music score alone would give the whole big picture Tang's music brings earth-shaking changes.
"Because of the new music score, according to this, the music will be craftsmanship, but it has a unified standard.
So as long as I use my spiritual talent to compose the War Department’s talent into a song, and then use this new music format to compose the music score and send it to the musician.
Then the musician can perform the army through the composes he wrote and help the army transform!”
Lu Cai said here and continued,
“I will write as rich music as possible, so that the musicians can change the required talents for these warriors as needed.
Even troops that already have talent may be able to exchange talents in this way!"
When they heard Lu Cai say this, the court officials present couldn't help but take a breath. Now they finally understood the value of this thing.
Obviously, Lu Cai didn't want to become a converter himself, so he would train enough small converters to various troops.
And the court officials naturally would not object to such a thing, and were even willing to support it.
After all, it is better to dismantle the rights and divide them into one place, which is better than to concentrate all the rights in one person's hands.
"The idea is good, but the musician is still a musician. If the musician's vocal music cannot unify the will of the entire army, then even if it is played according to this score, it is nothing more than just a mere statement.
To unify the musician's vocal music, it is necessary that the musician's musical skills at least enter the room so that the vocal music can touch the spirit and even the will!"
As a representative figure of the military, Li Jing spoke at this time.
No one can ignore Li Jing's opinion, let alone Li Jing's opinion is very pertinent.
After all, not everyone can have the same spiritual talent as Lu Cai, who can analyze every will.
Lu Cai nodded and continued, "What the Minister of War said is very important. It is not easy for an external will to unify the will of the entire army with music. So let him join the army and become a member of the army. .
The musicians who join are not ordinary musicians, but military musicians who need to receive military training, obey the orders of the army, and integrate into the military group.
At that time, the music he plays will naturally be collective music, and it doesn't matter even if he can't feel the will of the entire army.
Because he himself is part of this collective will.”
"Military Musician?" Li Jing was a little stunned when he heard this relatively novel noun, but he didn't expect Lu to say so.
It’s not a musician, but a military musician. To be honest, Li Jing didn’t expect to use a musician like this.
Li Tai added, "In other words, in addition to mastering the musical notation created by Lu Cai, military musicians must also enter the army. In order to convince people, they must have excellent personal qualities and certain levels of organizational ability.
.
This kind of human and military abilities are at least 500 people. Once you enter the army, at least 100 people will start or even higher!"
"A new recruit starts with a hundred people. Do he think he is a family?" Some general said dissatisfied.
After all, this is not a status brought by identity, but a status brought by a position. More importantly, a person with such an important position is very likely to be just a new soldier.
Li Tai said calmly, "Under normal circumstances, the talent of the War Department requires about 500 people to appear.
In other words, only the combat division with more than 500 people needed a military musician, and there was no lieutenant or something. I think it was not an exaggeration to have a starting treatment of a hundred people.
In fact, if others can change their legion talent, then it’s not just the treatment of a centurion!”
"What the King of Yue said is very much." Tang Jian stood up and expressed his support to Li Tai, "This kind of talent is just a treatment for a centurion. That's because he is just a recruit. In fact, if he is from a general, he may be directly awarded the title of a general.
Five hundred masters!”
"Yes, yes!" "Yes, yes!" "What the Honglu Qing said is very much"...
At this time, a large number of officials from aristocratic families came out to support him, looking like Li Tai responding to him.
But in fact, for the aristocratic family, isn’t this standard proposed by Li Tai for their aristocratic family?
As a military musician, you must be both civil and military, and you must understand the Six Arts of a gentleman. For ordinary poor families, it is wrong, but it is for common landlords. Where can you have money to learn Six Arts? This is an opportunity to openly penetrate the army, how can you let it go?
This was the Tang Dynasty, where people came from generals and ministers. Most Confucian scholars with conditions, especially those from aristocratic families, were basic skills.
More importantly, compared with Li Tai's just started agricultural institution, their family has been teaching the Six Arts of Gentlemen for thousands of years.
After experiencing the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Shimin was strictly considered the founding king. Each family wished to arm his children to his teeth. One civil servant in the court counted one, and most of the muscles behind him could be raised into the character "De" after taking off his clothes.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin and others are silent. The musician's plan is really good.
Because this plan really reduces the cost of forming the talent of the War Department. As long as one military musician is arranged for every 500 people, basically the entire army will be fighting. As long as the military musician is not dead, it will be very likely to be born after ten battles.
War Department Talent.
No matter what kind of talent is, there is even less difference, it is the difference between a regular soldier and an elite soldier!
It can be said that this operation that originally required the top talents to change talents has been changed to almost having money to receive systematic education and can train talents according to the script and even modify talents.
For the entire Tang Dynasty, even if half of the 600,000 permanent troops can successfully possess the talent of the War Department to become elite, this will be extremely huge for the improvement of the overall national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
But at the same time, the power of the gentry would enter the army, which was also Li Shimin's most troublesome.
The strength of the gentry's power was almost fully demonstrated from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. Even if Li Shimin himself was not worried, what about the follow-up?
If the gentry forces were allowed to control the army, they would probably follow the footsteps of the Han Dynasty.
Li Tai said at this time: "Although the military musician is a soldier, he is also a special soldier.
Their greatest task is not to destroy the enemy violently, but to exist as an auxiliary to the army.
So I think military musicians are not suitable to directly join the military system. At least in a short period of time, we do not need a large number of military musicians to expand the entire army.
If the number is small, I think it is left to the saints to take charge of themselves and supervise the army as the emperor's personal army. I believe that the soldiers supervised are easier to manage."
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with some surprise. It was obvious that after adding this layer, becoming the emperor's personal army or even Qianniu Preparation, the emperor has the final say who to send and where to send.
.
This matter naturally doesn't matter to Li Shimin, but for later successors, with such a relationship, there are more ways to check and balance.
It is important that the emperor has the final say for whom he sent, and where he sent, and where he sent, it is the final say for him.
Generally speaking, even if the sent out is not all confidants, at least they will not be all from the aristocratic family.
"However, where should these musicians pay for their money and food?" Fang Xuanling's eyes turned to Li Tai and said, "Even if these people follow the standards of centurion, according to the country, there are nearly a thousand people who spend money.
Not a small amount!”
During the Zhenguan period, the cost of raising soldiers was actually not high, but these military musicians were not ordinary soldiers. Each of them was treated as a centurion, especially if they did not follow the system of garrisons, then that would be the only way.
Very hurtful!
"Fang Xiang is not good at me, it's not the reason why I raise soldiers for the army, right?" Li Tai decisively distanced himself from the relationship this time.
Fang Xuanling took back his gaze from Li Tai, and was really disappointed. Li Tai had always been able to solve the problem of money, but this matter was really hard for Li Tai to solve it.
Li Tai cannot directly contact the military power. This is the principle and bottom line. Li Tai himself understands this very well, and others will never let Li Tai touch it.
Since you don’t touch the military power, you naturally have no reason to pay.
After all, as long as you pay money and have the financial power, you will naturally get involved in military power. This is impossible.
However, after Li Tai's suggestion, handing over the military musician to Li Shimin as the emperor Qin army, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Li Shimin.
No matter what, if the musician's plan really needs to be implemented, Li Shimin must be maintained first.
"Qingque, is this what I meant to ask me to pay? But this is a lot of money!"
Li Shimin also had a headache, and couldn't help but think, "Forget it, raise some of it first, after all, it can improve the combat effectiveness of the army!"
"Lu Qing, you can study this thing, but you have made contributions to the country and gave you the position of Tailecheng. But you don't need to go to the palace to perform, but continue to cultivate talents in the agricultural institution and transform the music score!"
Li Shimin looked at Lu Cai and told, "You only need to remember that merit is the most beautiful score."
"I, thank you saint, obey the order!" When Lu Cai heard Li Shimin's words, he agreed respectfully, then got up and twisted his butt decisively, and began to dance with his hands and feet.
