It first started in Liangzhou, and then spread to various places in Longyou Road.
Not to mention how many benefits it brought to the people, at least it made them feel the warmth from the court.
The former Longyou Road was like a child with a stepmother.
Not only did they not get any love, they also had to watch the stepmother's biological son next door, Guan Neidao, being cared for in every possible way. ??
But now, with the arrival of Li Chengqian, they no longer need to envy others.
Inside the Manna Hall.
Listening to Fang Xuanling's report.
A smile gradually appeared on Li Shimin's face.
He said: "This boy does have his unique features in managing the place."
"First there was Yangzhou, then there was Mobei, and now there is Longyou Road."
Li Shimin stroked his beard gently and said with a smile: "This makes me feel more and more that I should entrust this boy with important responsibilities."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Changsun Wuji in the hall, and then at Fang Xuanling and others.
He asked: "What do you think should be given to him after he has dealt with Longyou Road?"
Okay.
Li Chengqian's work on Longyou Road has not been finished yet.
Li Shimin began to think about arranging new things for Li Chengqian.
If Li Chengqian knew this, he would probably have to find ways to escape.
Fang Xuanling looked at Changsun Wuji.
Then, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, as a prince, it is within the scope of your authority to manage the politics of the fief."
"If you still want to assign him other things to do, I'm afraid the position of prince is no longer satisfactory..."
The meaning of what he said was obvious.
This is a hint to Li Shimin that Li Chengqian should be established as the crown prince.
After all, he has already done everything the prince should do extremely well.
If he still wants to continue to do great things, he can only become a prince and supervise the country for his father.
Li Shimin had already had this intention. "I really want to make him a prince."
"only……"
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "This guy has been trying to shirk his disagreement."
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji naturally knew about this.
Fang Xuanling not only shook his head but smiled bitterly and said: "So, the best result at the moment is for His Highness to maintain the status quo."
"Um……"
Li Shimin nodded, then changed the topic and asked: "By the way, what do you think of the recruitment system he mentioned last time?"
"Your Highness's idea is naturally excellent."
Changsun Wuji said: "Compared with the government army system, the recruitment system increased the expenditure of the imperial court."
"But it has always been able to maintain the same level of combat effectiveness for the imperial army."
"After all, judging from the current situation, the Tang Dynasty has gradually entered a prosperous age and moved towards peace."
"Perhaps after the Western Turks issue is resolved, the Tang Dynasty will not encounter a war for several years or even decades."
"In that case, how could Datang's army still have the fighting power it does today, and how could it have the appeal it does today?"
"So, according to Yichen, the recruitment system is the future of the Tang Dynasty."
"Whether we adopt it now or not, we will definitely take this path in the future."
Changsun Wuji is a smart man and can also see the future that Li Chengqian sees.
And his explanation today really spoke to Li Shimin's heart.
Li Shimin had not noticed it earlier, but in recent years he has increasingly felt that as the Tang Dynasty entered its prosperous age, it was also entering a state of aging.
The founding fathers who conquered the world are all old.
Changsun Wuji is considered young, but he is already in his forties this year, and Fang Xuanling and others are already over fifty.
And these can be said to be unimportant, after all, the current imperial examination system has become mature.
Moreover, academies have been opened in various places, and it won’t be long before a batch of fresh blood will be added to the Tang Dynasty.
But it is definitely not enough for a country to have only civil servants; it also needs military generals.
But what is happening to the generals of the Tang Dynasty now?
Cheng Yaojin is already forty-six years old this year, and Li Jinggen is already in his mid-sixties.
The only young commanders in the court who could act independently were Li Ji, Li Daozong, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanche and Chai Shao.
But these people are all about the same age as Li Shimin.
The day Li Shimin grows old, they will grow old too.
And the veterans who fought with them will also grow old. ??
If there are no veteran generals or pawns in the court.
War breaks out again in Datang, how should Datang deal with it?
Li Shimin sighed quietly.
He said: "Wuji is right, this is the path we in the Tang Dynasty must take."
"It's just that the current recruitment system is not in line with the times, so I asked him to promote it in Longyou Road first."
"But compared to the recruitment system, I'm more worried about the generals."
Li Shimin said: "In the past few years, except for Li Tingxue, Gao Zhixing and Li Chongyi who grew up with that kid, there has been almost no one new."
"How can I, the emperor, not worry about the future?"
"When the time comes, who in the world can still lead troops to defend the enemy? Who can still guard the borders of the Tang Dynasty?"
As an emperor, this is what he is most worried about.
Because generals cannot be learned through study.
He must possess a certain amount of talent and must practice on the battlefield before he can finally be put into actual combat.
After hearing these words, Changsun Wuji smiled slightly.
He said: "Your Majesty does not have to worry about this. Be careful, someone will naturally solve the problems in the future."
"And as predecessors, the only thing we can do for the future is to pave the way for them."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "And your Majesty has trained for future generations a prince who may be difficult to surpass throughout the ages."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
Then, he also laughed.
He said: "I just hope that this guy can give me some encouragement and not let me down..."
…
The outskirts of Liangzhou.
The construction of the factory building is in full swing.
On the other side, after the factory is completed, the workers needed are also being recruited.
The people here have also heard about the Beimo Factory.
Therefore, the registration was very enthusiastic, and even people from outside Liangzhou came to apply.
Looking at the long queue of people, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth curved.
Wu Yougou beside him said slowly: "It seems that within a few days, the factory will have recruited enough workers."
"In the past, the people of Liangzhou had to rely on a few acres of barren land to survive."
"But now, the people of Liangzhou also have a new way of living."
"I have to say that His Highness has really solved a big problem for Liangzhou this time."
Wu Yougou looked at Li Chengqian with a grateful face.
He is also from Liangzhou, so naturally he is grateful for everything he has done for his hometown.
But Li Chengqian shook his head.
He said: "This is not enough."
"What I want is not that the people of Liangzhou are like this, but that the people of the entire Longyou Road are like this."
"I want the people of Longyou Road to be proud of their own identity and no longer need to envy others."
"I want the people of Longyou Road to no longer suffer from hunger and poverty. Every household will have a surplus of food every year and save money..."
