Chapter 434: Decentralization for five years
The next day, Li Ke woke up with a headache.
He recalled the scene of Yuchi Gong and Cheng Zhijie fighting with a jar last night, and now he was sweating heavily.
At that time, it was in front of Li Shimin!
I am too arrogant, right? Li Ke thought so.
But at this time, he saw that Asunayun had woken up.
"Your Highness, you are awake! Let me take a bath and change your clothes!" Ashinayun said. She has now become a Han woman and has started taking care of her husband. When she has a child, she will probably have to teach her children.
"No need, you can rest for a while! I'll go for a walk in the school!" Li Ke said to Ashinayun with a smile. He wanted to practice martial arts at the school. This was a habit he maintained and he had not changed for many years.
However, Asunayun did not listen to Li Ke, so she still stood up to change clothes for Li Ke.
However, she was wearing only a small bellyband, and her body was suddenly filled with spring.
Ashin Yun also found out that he was not dressed yet, so he was so embarrassed that he quickly put on his clothes before serving Li Ke to change his clothes, but when she put on her clothes, Li Ke was already dressed neatly.
Li Ke used to serve his maids, but after marrying Ashinayun, the maids naturally stopped serving Li Ke to change clothes, and this task was taken by Ashinayun.
Li Ke smiled faintly at Ashi Nayun, "If you are tired, please take a rest!"
After saying that, he picked up the Yuanhong sword and came to the school ground.
On the school grounds of the Wang Mansion, Wang Zhongchang was undergoing routine training.
The reason why the Eagle Guard can become the king of cavalry is that in addition to the good physical fitness and good costumes of the cavalry, it is closely related to the years of training.
Every morning when traveling, the Eagle Guard will train routinely. This habit has been maintained since the Eagle Guard was formed.
When Wang Zhongchang saw Li Ke, he stepped forward to salute Li Ke, and the Eagle Guard also salute Li Ke.
Li Ke signaled Wang Zhongchang to continue, but he started practicing swordsmanship!
The sword practice is over!
Li Ke went back to take a shower and change his clothes. After finishing breakfast with Asunayun, he came to the study and began to modify his memorials.
When he was about to go to court, Li Ke ordered Wang Zhongchang to prepare a car, and he wanted to go to the palace to report some of his thoughts to Li Ke.
When Li Ke came to the palace, Li Shimin had just finished his morning court and returned to the imperial study room of Ganquan Palace. When he heard that Li Ke met, he asked Wang De to order Li Ke to go in.
Li Ke came to the imperial study room and finished saluting Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at his energetic son and smiled, "I drank so much last night, but I am still so energetic today. It's not easy!"
"The father praises him, but the sons dare not take it!" Li Ke said modestly.
"I didn't praise you, which means you haven't forgotten the volley of bows and horses. You have this body and you have trained yourself!" Li Shimin seemed in a good mood and talked about Li Ke.
Seeing Li Ke holding the memorial in his hand, Li Shimin asked lightly, "Is it a matter of finding me today?"
"Father, this is a little idea of my son. I want to start the execution after returning to Bingzhou. Please preview it!" After Li Ke finished speaking, he handed the memorial to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin picked up the memorial and began to look carefully.
The contents of Li Ke’s memorial are divided into three parts:
The first part is to promote cultural development and want to establish a college in Bingzhou. The academies are divided into the Sinology Academy, the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Army Academy.
The second part is to develop economic construction. Here, Li Ke cleverly concealed agriculture, but instead focused his main development on business, that is, to form a caravan to start trade, establish related money exchange institutions, that is, money shops, and the problem of money transactions in trade transactions.
The third is to streamline the government, lay off some government soldiers, change a few government soldiers into local wing troops, and then reorganize the professional border army system affiliated to the Northern Palace. In addition, develop the navy and open a shipyard.
Moreover, in Li Ke's memorial, he proposed to name Yingzhou the most suitable for opening a shipyard, and Yingzhou's governor was familiar with the navy's training techniques and was most suitable for forming a navy.
Li Ke mentioned Liu Rengui in the memorial, which was a deployment he made for a long time.
Why did he put Su Dingfang in Youzhou and hand over Yingzhou under Youzhou to Liu Rengui? This was a problem that everyone did not expect. However, this was definitely a great example of Li Ke. Li Ke believed that Su Dingfang was in charge of Youzhou alone, and the safety of the entire Liaodong was fine, but he still pushed Liu Rengui to the position of governor of Yingzhou. His idea was very simple, that is, Pingzhou under Yingzhou was near the Bohai Bay and was very suitable for a port, and Liu Rengui was a famous naval general in history. Therefore, Li Ke arranged Liu Rengui as the governor of Yingzhou, with the purpose of making him establish the Tang Dynasty navy with Pingzhou as a base, and to open a shipyard in Pingzhou and develop the shipbuilding industry.
Therefore, as long as Li Shimin can allow his plan, his arrangements are impeccable. Because Yingzhou is east of Goryeo, and Goryeo is not a threat to the Tang Dynasty now, but even so, the states under Yingzhou border with Goryeo, and its geographical location is very important. Only the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office can control Yingzhou and control the governor of Yingzhou. But the problem now is that the governor of Youzhou Grand Governor is Su Dingfang. This means that as long as Liu Rengui forms a navy and develops a navy, no one can control him. If the navy is built, then this navy will definitely be a powerful force belonging to Li Ke personally.
After carefully reading the content of Li Ke's memorial, Li Ke was surprised by the various plans in the above three parts. He immediately began to pay great attention to Li Ke's memorial, especially the plan to open a college, which he thought was the most worthy of implementing.
Because, he vaguely guessed that as long as the college was successfully opened, the talents of the Tang Dynasty in talent development will be inexhaustible in the future.
Also, Li Shimin also thought that the establishment of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine proposed by Li Ke was a very creative plan. Li Shimin felt very pleased that Li Ke was able to attach so much importance to medicine. The plan specifically mentioned the opening of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, allowing famous doctors to teach students, and then let students who have completed their studies go to the countryside to practice medicine. Li Shimin felt that this would fundamentally solve the life and death problems of some people in the Tang Dynasty.
As a very visionary emperor, he knew very well the benefits of this incident to the Tang Dynasty after it succeeded.
As for establishing a military academy, Li Shimin, who was soon born into an emperor, also felt it was necessary.
Of course, Li Shimin did not support and care about Li Ke's proposals. He did not object to the development of trade, but was not very enthusiastic about it.
After all, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the foundation of China's country for thousands of years. Li Shimin would never abandon this traditional national policy to develop any business.
But he did not object to Li Ke's business plan. He felt that as long as it was implemented in Bingzhou and did not issue the plan to develop within the country, he still wanted to see if the plan was successful. Because he was not a stick emperor, he was an enterprising and constantly innovating emperor.
The third is the naval issue. Li Shimin really does not attach enough importance to the navy. This is related to the national thinking formed by China for thousands of years. He believes that no matter how powerful the navy is or how powerful it is, the cavalry and infantry are still defending and expanding territory, rather than the navy.
Therefore, he thought it was unnecessary to form a navy. At the same time, he was also worried that if he formed a navy, the first thing he wanted to do was to build a ship, and the cost of building a ship would be very large. If he formed a navy again, the Tang Dynasty's finances would probably not be able to pay such a large expense. This is also a reason why he did not support it.
After reading Li Ke's memorial, Li Shimin immediately had his own thoughts.
He spoke solemnly and asked Li Ke, "The opening of academy will allow more people of the Tang Dynasty to learn cultural knowledge, which is very worthy. There is also the opening of a medical school that will allow many people to learn medical skills and let him treat the people again. I agree very much. I think this plan will be successful, and it will reduce the death toll of the people of the Tang Dynasty. As for the military academy you mentioned, I think it is necessary to use professional knowledge to cultivate generals and allow them to incorporate and expand land. This is a good idea. Therefore, I support you in implementing these contents in your memorials. I also hope that you will achieve something after you arrive in Bingzhou. I will give you five years. I will not interfere with you within five years, but you must give me a satisfactory result. Do you have confidence?"
Li Shimin seemed to have made a decision, and would give Li Ke five years of power to help him develop Bingzhou with peace of mind. This also shows the position of Li Ke's memorial in Li Shimin's heart.
"Please rest assured, my son will never let you down. I will definitely give you a surprise in five years!"
Seeing that his content about developing culture and opening a college was approved, Li Shimin gave himself power, Li Ke said excitedly.
"As for your second part of the plan, I think it's not advisable!" Li Shimin said here, sighing, "You also know that since ancient times, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has been the foundation of national stability and prosperity, and your plan to develop trade will backfire. My original intention was to disagree with you, but what you said was to form a caravan and export the goods of the Tang Dynasty to other countries. I support this, and there is also the money dealer for silver and money. I think it's advisable, but the risk is very high. Do you have confidence?"
When Li Shimin asked Li Ke, his expression was very stern!
"Don't worry, Father, my son is absolutely confident to do it well!" Li Ke promised.
"Okay! Since you are so confident, then you do it. I will not object to you, but you cannot do it in the name of the Tang Dynasty. You can only implement it in the name of the Northern Prefecture, and you can only implement it in Bingzhou." Li Shimin said cautiously to Li Ke.
"My son understand!" Li Ke said happily.
Bank! Bank! Li Ke was very excited. As long as Li Shimin agreed, he would not believe that he could not do a good job in a bank. This has been practiced.
"As for the development of the navy, I do not agree. After all, the Tang Dynasty's treasury is not sufficient, and there is not so much money spent on building ships and training naval soldiers!" Li Shimin said a little worried when he said here. He knew very well that defeating the Turks was only the first step, developing the economy and allowing the people of the Tang Dynasty to be saturated and warm.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty saved four years of frugality in order to prepare for the war against the Turkic Jieli. Now that it is necessary to defeat the Turkic economy, it is necessary to develop the economy, and the treasury is indeed very tight.
However, Li Ke may not be able to get Li Shimin to agree, but when it comes to money, Li Ke has a way to convince him.
"Father, we can let the merchants pay for the money needed for shipyards by themselves. You also know that since the Tang Dynasty and Fusang trade started, maritime trade has developed rapidly. There are still many countries far away overseas who also need our Tang Dynasty porcelain and silk, which makes business people now have a great demand for ships, and they do not have the ability to open large shipyards to build ships and make ships that can satisfy them. As long as I open a shipyard in the name of Beifu, ask them to donate money to build large ships, and then sell them at a low price after the ship is built, they will definitely support them." Li Ke explained to Li Shimin.
In fact, he would not ask any merchants to donate at all. He said that the merchants were naturally Chai Zhewei!
However, his words did not deceive Li Shimin. After the Tang Dynasty traded with Fusang, maritime trade developed. However, the shipbuilding industry in Datang was not very good, and there were no large merchant ships. As long as his shipyard built large ships, there would be no shortage of people to buy them.
Seeing that Li Shimin was still hesitating, Li Ke threw out another thunder, "Father, let me pay for the money I have to train the navy!"
"You?" Li Shimin said in surprise.
"The Northern Prefecture has implemented a refined military and simplified government. There is no war in the north. It is the best time for development. My sons have some savings and a lot of rewards. If you add the money from Zhewei and others, it will be enough!" Li Ke said.
Li Shimin still did not attach much importance to the navy. Seeing that Li Ke was so determined to establish the navy, he felt that he owed him a debt to Bingzhou, so he reluctantly agreed to Li Ke.
However, he believed that Li Ke might have formed a navy on a whim, so he limited the number of the navy to 15,000.
Naturally, Li Ke would not be serious about the number of people with Li Shimin. He was very happy to hear that Li Shimin agreed to him.
"Li Ke, you have to listen to it! I think the suggestions above are good, but it is even more difficult to implement them. You must be mentally prepared! The father's support for you is limited, and everything depends on you." Li Shimin said lightly, "Don't worry, I just said that the court will not ask too much about your actions in Bingzhou within five years. I hope you don't disappoint me!"
Li Shimin's last words were very earnest, which moved Li Ke!
"Please rest assured, my son will never embarrass you!" Li Ke replied seriously.
"Yeah, I believe in you!" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with confidence.
After reporting his plan to Li Shimin and when Li Shimin agreed and Li Ke left the imperial study, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat, which shows how nervous he was at that time.
But now that he has passed, his heart has suddenly flown to Bingzhou!
He never wants to stay in Chang'an again!
So, he followed the Imperial Road in the Imperial Study Room and came to Yang Fei’s Qianqiu Palace, just to talk to Yang Fei about his return to Bingzhou!
However, if Li Ke didn't know how to Bingzhou, Li Shimin would not urge him or the Ministry of War would not urge him, no one would dare to say about him.
But Li Ke didn't want to do this.
Besides, now, he will implement his shocking plan in Bingzhou, and he may waste his time in Chang'an again!
