Chapter 62: Creating a New Era(1/2)
Li Ye is very idle now.
Since the beginning of autumn, he suddenly became idle.
There is no major event in the middle school, and I have no plans to fight outside this year. There are also trivial military and political affairs, including Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others to share their worries. I just need to make a summary and pay attention to it.
When he learned to be lazy at the right time, he found that he had plenty of free time.
When he was fine, Li Ye would twist a pot of wine and sit on the roof of the royal palace hall with a wide view. While watching the increasingly prosperous city in Chang'an, he would carefully feel the luck of the people coming from all sides.
These are all his political achievements and the foundation of his life.
After conquering Hexi and defeating Tubo, all the aspiring people in the country returned to their hearts. After governing the world for more than half a year, the people lived and worked in peace and prosperity, and most of the people who paid attention to real profit had no complaints anymore.
Li Ye has checked his fairy garden. In addition to the border, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has been basically outlined. The stars of the people from all over the country are lit up in dense rays, truly showing the momentum of the galaxy on the summer night.
His cultivation has also steadily improved. Although he is still in the Golden Immortal Realm, it is no longer the same as before the New Year and is not too far from the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Li Ye carefully estimated that even if he did not expand his territory, as long as the Tang Dynasty rested for three years, most of the power of the vassal states would be taken back by the court and no longer had the ability to exploit the prefectures and counties, the good situation of national prosperity and peace would be basically realized. At that time, his cultivation might be able to break through the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
The An Mansion is very close to the Qi Mansion. Sometimes King Qi would come over, but the Saint Ji was the one who came much more.
After more than half a year, Da Shaoshi finally discovered that these two guys were the same person.
Because there is no war in the world, Li Maozhen is not worried about political affairs, so she is so idle on weekdays. She comes to Li Ye for drinking when she has something to do. She often doesn’t return without getting drunk, and doesn’t return without getting drunk.
There are too many times like this, and there will always be times when feelings cannot be themselves.
So, late one night, the two kings shared the same bed, and lightning was lightning outside, and the rain was pouring, the dragon and phoenix in the house were auspicious, and the orioles sang. The eldest son Siming pierced the window paper in the dim lights and saw the scene that made them feel like they were struck by lightning.
Since then, Shao Siming's eyes when he looked at Li Ye have changed, becoming normal, and there is no longer any weirdness.
However, although the eldest son Siming looked the same as Shao Siming most of the time, he occasionally showed even more resentful eyes, which made Li Ye often feel uncomfortable when he saw it.
He doesn't care about these minor issues.
Chang'an School of Practice will eventually start school.
This is one of the national policies for Li Ye to recruit monks on a large scale and expand the ranks of monks in the Tang Dynasty.
Once Chang'an Academy is completed, it means that the practice method will no longer be in charge of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, and it will completely distinguish itself from the Taoist sect - to be precise, it will be clear from the Quanzhen Temple.
Since then, practice techniques no longer only appear in the Imperial Heaven, the Sect, the Taoist sect and various major families, and ordinary people have the possibility of entering the Sect of Practice.
“The School of Practice is under the jurisdiction of three branches, the School of Basics, Qi Training, and the School of Great Monks.”
In the Political Affairs Hall, Li Zhen and Li Ye reported to Li Ye about the affairs of the School of Practice. "The basic college has the largest number of students. The first phase recruited 8,000 people, half of them were selected from the army's meritorious strokes, and half were selected from the people with excellent qualifications. They all adopted the method of voluntary registration.
"The former is directly governed by the Ministry of War to evaluate and select, while the latter is dispatched by officials from the three provinces and six ministries to cooperate with the teacher from the School of Practice to go to prefectures and counties every year to select. The early affairs will be more complicated, but after a few years of work, a system will be formed, and it will be much more convenient for the court and local officials to become familiar with it.
"The basic college is in the private sector and only recruits students under the age of sixteen. The military age can be relaxed to the age of the crown. This will also help inspire passionate men to join the army.
"The Qi Training Academy only recruits monks below the third level of Qi Training, and they will basically be promoted from the basic academy. Once their cultivation exceeds the third level of Qi Training, they should be sent to the army or local prefectures and counties to serve. Of course, you can also enter Wukong Shumen and Quanzhen Temple, go to Gentiles to preach and preach, inquire about the customs and folk customs of the enemy country, military and political affairs, etc.
"The Qi Training Academy itself does not only teach practice, but also divides it into civil servants, generals, craftsmen, religion and other parts, so that while improving their cultivation, they can prepare for the life direction they will choose in the future.
"The Grand Monk Academy only recruits monks from the eighth or nineth level of Qi training, provided that they have made enough merits. After obtaining the qualifications of students, the college will help them break through the real world and then hold more important official positions and become a pillar of the world."
After saying this, Li Zhen kept silent and waited for Li Ye to express his opinion.
Li Ye actually had no objection. These programs were the result of his discussion with everyone for a long time. Li Zhen only further improved it and was a builder of the academy.
However, Li Ye still had something to say. He knocked on the case: "The civil servants and military generals in Qi Training Academy are believed to be able to recruit many students, and they are also what the teenagers want to enter through their foreheads. They are craftsmen and religion. I am afraid that there are not many people who voluntarily enter. You should promote it carefully.
"These are two key parts. The former is of energy. Yangguan's magic weapon crossbow is a proof that it will even change the appearance of life if it develops well. I want to see magic weapon aircraft...the flying magic weapon appears as ordinary objects.
"Although the latter is a meticulous work, it has made great contributions and promoted quickly. It is most suitable for young people who are from poor, have good mentality and ambitious."
Li Zhen nodded frequently when he heard this.
He said: "That requires the cooperation of the three provinces and six ministries. Scholars, farmers, industry and craftsmen have always been inferior to others. Those who have ambition are disdainful to do so. The court needs to improve their status.
"The religious part depends on whether the teenagers are smart or not, and whether they can see through the essence of religion. If they can use this weapon well, they will definitely understand that it is a magical weapon that they are rampant in foreign countries, and making meritorious service is just a backhand."
Li Ye nodded, "About the three provinces and six ministries, go and discuss with Cui Keli and come up with a charter. Now you are all prime ministers, and you should have this mind and courage."
Li Zhen wrote down this point.
Li Ye continued: "The Chang'an Practice Academy is still too few to recruit 8,000 people. In three years, it will be expanded to at least 30,000 people. Five years later, there will be more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty, and each state will have a Practice Academy. In this way, only the heroes in the world will be given the opportunity to be trained by the court and then serve the country.
"When ten years later, the Qi-training monks in the Tang Dynasty will be more than ten times that of now! At that time, let alone restoring the territory of our ancestors, even if we fight to the horizon, we will still see this hope.
"If the craftsmen develop a huge flying magic weapon that only needs to be controlled by Qi-training monks, and can ride dozens of people and hundreds of miles a day, then the world of the Tang Dynasty will be the real world!"
Li Zhen was stunned.
He didn't expect that the blueprint in Li Ye's heart would be so broad, so thrilling.
Li Zhen was about to get up to salute and express his admiration for Li Ye, but Li Ye waved his hand and asked him to continue to sit down. He had not finished his words.
Li Ye looked at Li Ye and said, "You have followed me for many years. I don't hide some ideas from you. I want to see that in 100 or 20 years, the Tang Dynasty will usher in the era of national cultivation... I know that everyone has different qualifications and those who can achieve qi cultivation are all talented people in a hundred ways. But even if they cannot achieve qi cultivation, I still want them to practice.
"If you can't become a Wuzong, you will become a martial artist. The martial artist is also an official position in the army. If you can't become a martial artist, you will become a warrior. It's not difficult? Half of the Tang people in the world can become a warrior even after practicing to the age of the crown. Isn't this an exaggeration?"
"If ordinary soldiers in the army were all in the warrior realm, how could the Tang army not win every battle?
"I know what you want to say, resources, and cultivation resources are not enough. But this is the problem we want to solve. The world is actually very big, and the cultivation resources that our Tang Dynasty does not have can be found outside the domain. If we cannot accumulate wealth and cultivation resources and strengthen the national strength of the dynasty, what will we do to expand our territory and start a war?
"Ten years later, I want everyone to have food to eat and everyone to wear clothes. Twenty years later, I want everyone to have books to read and everyone can practice! How many talents are there for reading now? Printing books is not cheap. I know that I have to be busy with everything in the farmland, and I go to study and practice, and the fields will be abandoned, and I know too.
"Ordinary farmers' homes can't afford these now. But what I said in a decade or twenty years, what do I do to establish a practice academy? Printing books is not cheap, so let the craftsman's academy study and make it cheap; the farm tools are not powerful enough, so they can solve this problem.
"The grain output is not enough? Then go to the horizon, and there will always be high-yield grain outside the territory. What does the army do? I might as well tell you that in the south, there are rice ripe three times a year. When you build it there, the Tang Dynasty will have a better granary than Jiangnan.
"I will tell you again that at the eastern end of the East China Sea, there is still a 50-stone grain per mu! Not to mention that the Tang army occupied it, as long as we arrive at that place and bring back the grain seeds, our Tang Dynasty farmers will no longer be short of food!
"When farmers can survive easily if they don't have enough food and clothing, they will naturally think about studying. If they can't read, they will also let their children read, they will not practice, and they will also let their children practice.
"Do you think I'm talking in my sleep? What I'm talking about is the fact that twenty years later, the people of the Tang Dynasty will not only have enough food and clothing, but also be proud of the world!"
Li Zhen was completely stupid.
As a scholar, a scholar with aspiring scholar who is committed to national affairs and wants to serve the country with passion and make the country prosperous and invincible, the future depicted by Li Ye is a scene that he even wants to embrace in his dreams.
It is not impossible to improve the printing skills and make printing cheaper. There was no paper before the Eastern Han Dynasty! Looking for new fabrics and improving weaving techniques makes everyone not have to be frozen in winter. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not completely hopeless.
but!
What is the grain yield of fifty stones per mu?
What is that?
The current grain yield per mu in the Tang Dynasty can reach five stones, and the farmers will wake up in the middle of the night!
Ten times the output, what kind of food is that?!
Is there any such food in the world?
Li Zhen is not a pedantic scholar who is stupid in his studies. In fact, there is no such scholar under Li Ye. Whether it is the officials of Li Zhen or the Confucian scholars of Qingzhou, they all value reality. They are completely unparalleled in Yangzhou Confucian scholars who talk about military affairs on paper, they are very clear about the world.
Whether it is agriculture, water conservancy, military, or military personnel, they all have the minimum understanding.
Because of this, Li Zhencai was particularly clear that whether it was the Zhenguan administration or the Kaiyuan era, there were many people in the world who were hungry!
Eat porridge in your spare time and eat dry rice in your busy time. This is the life that ordinary people yearn for the most. Meat? What is that? You can have a meal during the holidays and you will laugh so hard that you won’t see your eyes. That’s a prosperous era!
Not enough food is the biggest problem of the dynasty and an eternal trouble.
To make most people full and to make fewer people starve to death during the disaster year is the lifelong goal of aspiring officials!
And now, Li Ye actually said that there is a grain yield of 50 stones per mu?
If there were indeed any, there would be no one in the Tang Dynasty who would not be able to eat enough!
Once you can eat and wear warm clothes, don’t go hungry in summer, and don’t get frozen in winter, books become cheap and affordable. Only fools can not read and read, and they will not practice!
If there really was one day, under the rule of Li Ye, how could the Tang Dynasty not enter the era of national cultivation?
The Tang Dynasty...how can it not dominate the world?!
Li Zhen was so excited that he shook all over when he thought about it.
He forgot about etiquette and magnanimity, rushed to Li Ye, grabbed Li Ye's arm, stared at the other party with scarlet eyes, and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, Your Highness... Is there really a grain that produces fifty stones per mu?!"
"It's true." Li Ye could understand Li Zhen's mood, patted his hand, and said kindly, "It's just a little farther away. If we want to get there, we need a ship that can sail thousands of miles on the sea and resist the storm..."
"Research, research! Let the craftsman department study!" Li Zhen shouted like crazy, "What is Wanli? Our caravans in the Tang Dynasty have traveled thousands of miles west!"
"It's not going west, it's going east. This is different. The ocean situation is different..." Li Ye said this, but he was interrupted by Li Zhen.
He roared with red neck: "Let the great monks go! Let the real monks go! Let them bring back the grain seeds!"
Li Ye: "..."
Is there no great monk in South America who is comparable to the real world?
Even if the real-life monks in the Tang Dynasty could go north along the land route to reach the Bering Strait, then enter North America, and finally South America, they would bring back the seeds of potatoes and corn...
etc.
Li Ye's pupils suddenly shrank.
This is not impossible.
As a time traveler, he certainly knew that the potatoes native to the Andes in South America would have no problem yielding fifty stones per mu. Before he traveled through this thing, the east soil had been planted all over the ground, which was very cheap.
To be continued...
