Feng Guangyao and Liu Qi, these two silly boys, would actually give themselves such a big surprise.
Just a few months after he left Shu, these two guys worked together to solve the problem of Southern Xinjiang that had been plaguing the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the war in southern Xinjiang can be resolved.
But the problem in southern Xinjiang itself is very difficult to deal with.
Because for the Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang is a barbaric land that has not yet been cultivated.
Almost all the people living there make a living by farming and hunting, their living standards are low, and their technical level is extremely backward.
In this way, things will become much easier to handle.
Li Chengqian said directly to Li Shimin: "Our previous military camp system was very good."
"The imperial court sent a group of soldiers to southern Xinjiang to cultivate farmland."
"As for the farmland brought out by the soldiers, all the harvests in the first three years belong to the soldiers themselves."
"From the future harvest, two will be kept by the court and eight by the soldiers."
Li Chengqian said: "In this way, our army will definitely be able to be self-sufficient and there will be no need for the court to allocate too much military pay and supplies."
But after hearing what he said, not only Li Shimin, but other ministers were also a little worried.
Changsun Wuji slowly said: "But Your Highness, have you ever thought about it. If a place like Shu can be an independent country, why can't Southern Xinjiang?"
"Of course, the problem uncle mentioned is also part of it."
"In order to prevent anyone from overestimating himself with troops, my father can dispatch the troops in batches."
Li Chengqian explained one by one: "For example, the soldiers entering southern Xinjiang are divided into multiple batches, and each batch has a thousand people."
"After these 1,000 people stay there for five years, they will be withdrawn and another 1,000 people will be brought in."
"As a result, the troops in southern Xinjiang have always remained the same."
"But the generals leading the troops there have never been able to get along with the soldiers."
"And this will definitely avoid the situation of relying on troops to respect themselves."
After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. He said: "That's very good."
"But, I still have a question."
He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "If the soldiers are withdrawn every five years, what will happen to the local farmland?"
"Of course, all the output is recorded in the book, and then the court distributes it uniformly."
"And before sending people, my father must make it clear to everyone that the land tenure in southern Xinjiang is ten years."
"After ten years, all land will be state-owned and will be distributed again by the state."
Li Chengqian said: "Ten years are enough to change the customs and customs of a place."
"At that time, my father only needs to distribute these lands to the people who are willing to live on that land."
Hearing this, Li Ji, who had practiced farming before, finally stood up and spoke.
"Your Highness, this is a very good plan."
"If this is true, many years later, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to build large farms like the Northern Desert again..."
Li Ji said: "At that time, our people really didn't have to worry about food and drink."
Li Shimin also nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed at Li Ji and said: "Since the general said so, let the general do this."
"You can deploy the entire army at your will."
"Just follow what Gan'er said, one thousand people at a time, and the upper limit is five thousand."
"Five thousand people will cultivate farmland locally for five years and be responsible for relocating local residents."
Li Shimin looked at Li Ji and said, "Is it okay?"
"no problem."
It's a shame to talk about this.
After all, it may be difficult to lead an army to farm outside.
But in fact, he doesn't have to do anything, and he doesn't even have to stay in southern Xinjiang for long.
But he can pass this
His actions are praised by people all over the world, and he can also be loved by more soldiers.
In this case, why not do it?
Li Ji straightly raised his hands towards Li Shimin and said, "Then I will do it now."
"good."
Li Shimin nodded, and then said: "Everyone, let's discuss it now and do whatever you need to do."
After hearing this, everyone also bowed to Li Shimin: "Wei Chen, please retire..."
However, Li Chengqian had not yet waited for him to bow down.
Li Shimin then said: "Qian'er, you stay."
"ah?"
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but still stood where he was.
After everyone left, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian: "I thought carefully about the talents you told me before. It's not enough to have civil servants..."
This was also what Li Shimin was inspired by through the incident between Liu Qi and Feng Guangyao.
Li Chengqian's character of letting go of the boss meant that he was destined to be surrounded by a group of generals who could lead his own troops in battle.
Liu Qi and Feng Guangyao, as well as Gao Zhixing, are all such people.
If the imperial court has such a group of generals that he can trust and are capable.
So why worry about failure?
Why worry about the world being uneasy?
Li Chengqian had actually been waiting for his words for too long.
Because Li Chengqian had previously proposed that on the basis of the nine-year academic system, a martial arts academy should be added.
It is to give the new generation of Datang more choices.
After the nine-year academic system, if you have excellent grades, you can apply for a university in Chang'an.
If your grades are not good enough, you can apply for a martial arts academy to learn military matters.
Unfortunately, that matter also came to nothing along with the nine-year academic system.
But at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly mentioned this matter, and Li Chengqian naturally talked endlessly.
He said: "Father, now the nine-year college has started Here you are, and you have seen that the results of the nine-year college are really good."
"If you want, why not consider my previous martial arts academy."
Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head directly and said: "If we continue to train now, we may miss many talents."
"Besides, if the martial arts academy cannot cultivate high-quality generals, wouldn't it ruin our efforts?"
"Of course, the most important thing is the support of those in the DPRK and China."
"You also saw what happened at the Nine-Year College last time. The opponents in the government accounted for the vast majority."
Li Shimin pursed his lips and said: "So, before opening the martial arts academy, I want to do something first to convince the ministers in the court."
"Then I understand."
Li Chengqian said: "My father wants to use a quick talent selection method to select a group of military talents, right?"
"That's right."
Li Shimin looked directly at Li Chengqian and said: "Recently I just thought that if a national martial arts examination is conducted according to the imperial examination model, what do you think?"
Damn it?
Did this old man peek at the script?
Li Chengqian also looked at Li Shimin with some confusion.
You know, the martial arts exercise was invented during Wu Zetian's period because there was no talent available.
This was still several decades away from Li Shimin.
But now, Li Shimin has already thought of this level.
Li Chengqian was actually a little surprised.
However, he still said: "Father, this plan is very clever. If it can really promote martial arts, it will definitely be a new reform of the Tang Dynasty, and it will also allow the sons of the Tang Dynasty to have more room to display their talents...
"
"Um……"
"When you say that, I feel relieved."
Li Shimin suddenly laughed evilly and said: "However, this matter must rely on your hard work..."
