Love Affairs in Chang’an Chapter 294: Moving people into orchid
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!
Under the rule of the Lanzhou Dudu’s Mansion, one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians invested in spring plowing production. Its scale and momentum can be regarded as scary. The most obvious feature of a military town like Lanzhou is that there are more men than women, and there are many young and strong men, and the ratio of men to women is seriously out of balance.
To truly realize the long-term plan, stabilizing the military spirit is the first task. Soldiers are also humans, and they are men. They are under pressure several times more than ordinary people, and the long-term and high-load training and labor are unspeakable. There is nowhere to vent stress, and there is no way to relieve fatigue. If things go on like this, it is a big hidden danger.
In recent days, Qin Mubai has heard of several incidents of "ying screaming" in military camps. Although the scale is small, it is quite scary.
The so-called "camp screaming" means that the sergeants slept in the middle of the night and suddenly someone screamed in their sleep. This detonated the fear and pressure that many people suppressed in their hearts, which then evolved into fights and madness!
These people are all under the suppression of various factors such as long-term strict military regulations, facing death threats and missing relatives, etc., and their spirits are constantly on the verge of collapse.
The camp scream is a disaster for the army. Seriously, it can lead to the collapse of the army!
Although the scope of the camp whistle was very narrow and calmed down quickly, it attracted great attention from the generals such as Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai!
The crowd will gather together to discuss a solution to the "Ying Xiao". In fact, Tang Jun has a special way to reduce pressure for sergeants, and that is-military prostitutes.
Although the Tang army has strict military laws and clearly prohibits sergeants from prostitutes, in many cases, this is no longer a thing-like the current Lanzhou army. Therefore, many generals who have commanded the troops all year round are tacitly aware of each other, turning a blind eye to the sergeant and prostitutes. As long as they don't go too far, they are generally not held accountable. Therefore, in the history of the War of the Tang Dynasty, there were many expeditionary forces hiding prostitutes in their luggage and taking them away with them.
But this method is obviously not feasible in Lanzhou right now-the ratio of men to women here is almost ten to one, and ninety-nine percent of them are women from good families. Is it possible for these sergeants to grab civilian women? ?
The generals have made a difficult situation together!
In the end, Qin Mubai came up with a solution: Please play the court and allow the family members of the Lanzhou soldiers to move with the army, provided that they are voluntary! After arriving in Lanzhou, the Dudufu and the army are responsible for providing basic living materials such as houses, farmland, and livestock, tax reductions and exemptions, and subsidies as appropriate!
As soon as the case came out, including Qin Shubao, they unanimously agreed!
Combined with the farming method, this is a truly ambitious long-term national strategy!
The migration of the family members of the sergeant will greatly reduce the pain of homesickness of the soldiers (of course, it is more important to have a woman). At the same time, this can increase the population of Lanzhou.
In this era, population is an important guarantee for productivity.
However, this is a huge test for the emperor and the court!
For the emperor, it is conservatively estimated that the family members of 50,000 soldiers in Lanzhou who want to move over must be at least 100,000. In this way, the officers and soldiers took Lanzhou as their home, and their families moved with the army-wouldn't it be a country of its own? Still a mobile kingdom!
Not to mention to the court. The family members of 50,000 people will be relocated in different places. How easy is it to move them together? This is an extremely vast project. Needless to say, it costs money and food, and it may not be able to do it in a short period of time with all the manpower and material resources.
This plan, which Qin Mubai did not discuss with Li Shimin before, is a strategy that he came up with according to local conditions. Although it is extremely difficult to implement, the biggest problem is whether the emperor will allow it—in other words, how much trust does the emperor have in the Qin family and his son?
This time, the Xue family brothers also stood on the same line as the Qin family father and son, because they were also men, and they missed their relatives and wives.
The crowd gathered for urgent discussions day and night. After three days and three nights, they finally came out with a complete plan. Then everyone decided not to put the pressure on Qin Mubai alone-they jointly signed a letter, in the name of the long-term plan of Lanzhou, and asked the emperor to "move people into Lan"!
As soon as the memorial was handed over to Chang'an, Li Shimin thought about it and brought it out for public discussion. As a result, the entire court came out!
This is truly unprecedented. A military town in front of the border, begging to move in. In the past, only soldiers who demanded food and money were the only ones who "required the people"!
The court was divided into two distinct factions. The opposition, led by the important ministers of the court, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, strongly opposed it. The reason for Changsun Wuji’s objection is simple. It has always been the only move to relocate people to the inland to expand national power. The land of Lanzhou’s frontier fortresses is at most used to settle the population of Turkic people. Woman) moved to the frontier. This is tantamount to self-injury to the internal organs, and to strengthen the outside. Moreover, if this case is opened, it will greatly increase the ambition of the general guarding the border. The power of the governor of the border town is already very great. Now let him expand the population under his control. If things go on like this, it will be a major hidden danger!
Some people, led by Fang Xuanling, have a simpler reason for objection—this move will hurt the people and money, and the national fiscal reserves will be empty. Before the start of the war, the internal consumption is endless, this battle has been lost!
There are very few people who support this move, and there are not a few significant people, so it is hardly worth mentioning.
The court has discussed this matter for many days, and the opposition's advantage has become overwhelming.
According to general habits, Li Shimin can make a decision. However, he did not make a decision for a long time, but repeatedly took the matter out and asked the ministers to "discuss."
After discussing it again and again, the result was the same. There were waves of opposition, and Li Shimin just didn't make a final decision.
The officials began to speculate: the emperor deliberately did this, did he intend to support Lanzhou to do so?
In the face of such a major event, Li Shimin had to think twice. Even if he is the emperor, if he can't come up with a strong argument to suppress You You's public opinion, such a national strategy cannot be implemented.
That evening, Li Shimin walked out of clothes and arrived at Li Jing's mansion. The two continued to play against each other as usual.
After playing two games of chess, Li Shimin was completely defeated, and he was totally absent-minded.
"Your Majesty is on your mind?" Li Jing asked.
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and told Li Jing about "moving people into Lans".
After listening to Li Jing, he hehe smiled: "Since the courtiers mostly objected, it proves that this move is indeed quite absurd. Your Majesty does not approve it, so why are you worried and upset?"
"Hey!" Li Shimin sighed and said with a wry smile: "Pharmacist, don't even you understand my heart?"
Li Jing smiled slightly: "Does your Majesty have this idea in his heart?"
Li Shimin furrowed his eyebrows and nodded, and said: "The auxiliary machine (Zhangsun Wuji) and others opposed this case. They are from my standpoint, and for the sake of me and my descendants, he is not wrong; Xuan Ling and others opposed this case because they stood from the court and the people's standpoint, and they were not wrong. I did not say anything to move them, so I was troubled."
Li Jing nodded and smiled slightly: "Then, where do you stand, your Majesty, thinking about this matter?"
"History and nation." Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, revealing his energy.
Hearing some words, Li Jing was stunned. The old eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and then suddenly nodded: "Your Majesty is wise! Considering the long-term plan of my clan, moving people to Lan is really the best Strategies! Consolidate Lanzhou, based on this, the territory of China will begin to expand from here, and the civilization of our nation will begin to spread from the ground. Your Majesty is ambitious and farsighted, and the veterans appreciate it!"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "What's the point of admiration? In this court, even the two prime ministers on my right and left arm are vocally opposed. Wei Zheng is recovering at home and has not been in court for a few days. But I have heard that on weekdays The eldest grandson Wuji, who was at odds with him, all condescended to visit and invite him out of the mountain. They will work together to advise me to abolish this plan. What can I do?"
Li Jing was silent for a while, nodded thoughtfully and smiled.
"Why is Brother Jing laughing?" Li Shimin asked.
"So your Majesty feels that the old minister's old face is worth a little money, so please allow the old minister to discuss matters in the court tomorrow!" Li Jing said.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed: "I can't ask for it!"
"It's not enough to be a veteran," Li Jing said, "At least, two people are needed."
"Which two?" Li Shimin asked.
"Li Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and His Royal Highness." Li Jing said.
Li Shimin twisted his brows: "Li Ji is justified. Chengqian...what's the use of him?"
Li Jing smiled: "Please think twice."
Li Shimin twisted his brows: "I will think twice-come, continue playing chess!"
A few days later, in the early dynasty, Li Jing, who had been away from the dynasty for a long time, did not care about the military and politics, and suddenly appeared above the court. Because of his inconvenience in his legs and feet, the emperor allowed him to move up with a stick. But Li Jing didn't take his purple wooden staff specially given by the emperor and walked into the court.
At the same time, Li Ji who was stationed outside was also urgently recalled to the DPRK to discuss politics together.
But Li Jing didn't see it, Prince Li Chengqian. Instead, Wei Wang Litai appeared in the court!
At this moment, everything is clear in Li Jing's heart-Donggong, I'm afraid it will be replaced!
Today, the court will discuss the issue of "moving people into Lan" again.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others still strongly object. Wei Zheng was nearly blind, but the oral narration memorial was asked to play, and he also objected.
Li Jing came forward. He started from a long-term plan to present his interests and advocated supporting the move of moving people into Lanzhou!
Originally, Li Jing is almost white when it comes to power; Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, the two chief assistants of the dynasty, did not have the strength to compete with them. But in terms of fame, qualifications, especially in the military, and the ability to grasp military affairs, Li Jing is unmatched!
He who is usually reluctant to speak and participate in political affairs, and never deliberately expresses himself, what he says is loud and loud!
Li Ji is a big wise man, although he is garrisoned outside and is not very clear about the "moving people into Lan". But since the emperor deliberately recalled him, he was obviously asking him to give a "reasonable" opinion.
So, he gave his own opinions very reasonable, expressed his agreement with Li Jing, agreed to move people to Lanzhou, and expand Lanzhou as a basis, and ambitious plans!
Now it's all right. The former and current commanders, who represented the highest authority of the army, all stood up and expressed their support for moving the people to Lanzhou. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, the ministers who have the right to speak in the political affairs, can't say the word "war power" even if they have thousands of classics in their stomachs!
Datang Shangwu, attaches great importance to military merit. Soldiers have always been talking about politics. Because they often represent the highest interests of the military and the military development direction of the entire country!
Li Shimin is the emperor and the most senior "politician"; but in his bones, he is also a soldier, an emperor who will take the world immediately. It is not the same as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who are deeply rooted in Confucianism!
This time, his concepts and ideas have reached a united front with military experts like Li Jing and Li Ji!
……
In this early morning session, the discussion stopped after noon. In the end, the major national strategy of "moving people into Lansing" was actually allowed!
As Li Shimin said, this time, from the standpoint of history and nation, he violated his emperor's art and made such a "tragic" gambling decision!
Although they still hold an oppositional attitude, the important court officials like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling can only perform their duties with due diligence regarding the decisions the emperor has made.
This will be a huge project. More than a hundred thousand army members have to enter Lanzhou, which is more than a hundred times more difficult than recruiting one hundred thousand troops to Lanzhou!
This huge project, after the pilgrimage on this day, began to be implemented...
A few days later, the Lanzhou Dudu’s Mansion received an imperial decree—the imperial court approved Lanzhou’s move to "move people into Lanzhou" and it was about to be implemented! And designated Lanzhou side, the "person in charge" responsible for the implementation and deployment of this national policy, that is-Qin Mubai!
At this moment, whether it is the Xue family brothers or Qin Shubao, even Qin Mubai himself is a little bit unbelievable that this is the case!
Originally, they didn't have much hope, because the possibility of approval was almost infinitely close to Ling. The generals signed the letter jointly, and they were even ready to be scolded. Unexpectedly, waiting for this shocking and surprising result!
"San Lang, after the farmland, he moved to Lan..." Qin Shubao said to his son, "Which one is brown or which one is a major event related to the national line! Can you bear it? "
"Writing history--someone has to do things like this." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Why can't it be me? Not so much to endure, I think it is-enjoy!" /
