Chapter 459 Monument and Cemetery

With the acquiescence and promotion of the Tang Dynasty leaders headed by Li Shimin, the recruitment of wounded soldiers went very smoothly. Not only the wounded soldiers who had already decided to apply, but also those who had not planned to apply at the beginning.

They all changed their original decisions after being persuaded by local officials.

Considering that the number of wounded soldiers in this group is not small, and the Tang Dynasty officials do this for the benefit of the wounded soldiers on the surface, but in reality, this kind of behavior will inevitably cause people to

There was a feeling of "burning the bridge" and "burning the bridge". Therefore, on the day when the injured soldiers were transferred, not only was there no publicity, but it was quite low-key.

"Sir, I leave these heroes to you. Please be considerate and don't let these heroes who sacrificed their lives and blood for the country and the people go to waste." Standing on the hillside, looking at "Teng Yun"

The large cargo airship slowly descended, and Li Shimin, who was standing on a hill not far away, said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I can understand what you said. However, since the last person signed the employment contract yesterday, these wounded soldiers are no longer soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but employees of the industry under my name. How should I treat them myself?

I will do it according to the terms written in the contract, so I won't bother Your Majesty." Li Anran, who was also looking at the airship, said with a faint smile on his face.

Although this matter is indeed a good thing for him, it can not only solve the problem of insufficient manpower, but also strengthen his military strength. But for Li Shimin, who can be said to want to be a cousin

The act of wanting to erect a memorial arch was quite contemptuous, so the words were naturally not polite at all.

Faced with such an answer, Li Shimin had no intention of doing business at all. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I know that the way to handle this matter has made you and many people have some opinions. In fact, it's really

If there is a way, I will not push these heroes out. However, if these wounded soldiers are left behind, it will not be a good thing for them."

In fact, Li Anran can understand Li Shimin's explanation. After all, let alone ancient times, it is the modern era of time and space. Those soldiers and heroes who were injured and retired because of their missions, even the country is indeed more or less

Although they are provided with subsidies and arrangements, most of their lives after military service are quite embarrassing.

This is true even in the modern era of the main time and space. How could the lives of the wounded soldiers in the Tang Dynasty be better after they were discharged from the army? In addition, the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period still adopted the military system. Even if there was no military noise, it would not matter.

What kind of benefits are there? The best result after being injured and discharged from the army is to be given a few acres of land, and then be exempted from tax or corvee.

In fact, let's talk about it. After being injured and retired from the front line, you can earn a few acres of land for your family while being tax-free and free from corvee. This is quite good for ordinary people. But the problem is, as the old saying goes.

Well, "people have to die when comparing with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods." It's fine when you don't compare, but when you compare, it's obvious who is better and who is worse.

But, then again, there have been a few people from ancient times to the present who can be as generous as Li Anran. Even for the lowest level soldiers, even if the opponent is wounded by the enemy on the battlefield, there is no time to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. As long as it is

If you are willing to live on the island of God and Fuso, you will be given money, a house, a field, and even a wife.

Although averaged to each person, the money given away is not a lot, the house given away is not very big, and the land given away is also limited, but the base number that cannot support the wounded soldiers is large. Added together,

But Li Anran's rewards to those generals and people who have made great contributions are much more.

It's a pity that although Li Anran can indeed understand Li Shimin's explanation, and he is the one who benefited the most from the whole thing. But he still can't understand the other party's attitude of being obedient after getting an advantage. After all, this is

After the war against the Turks, Datang benefited much more than the treatment it gave to the wounded soldiers.

"Your Majesty, at this point, I'd better not say anything else. Instead of lamenting here, it would be more meaningful to think about how to arrange for those soldiers who died in battle. After all, these wounded soldiers can still live a good life in the future, but those who died in battle can

But people can only be separated from their families." Li Anran, who was too lazy to be hypocritical with the other party, curled his lips and said.

"For the fallen soldiers, I have asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to draft rewards and related policies. Since they can sacrifice their lives for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, as the king of a country, I cannot let these people serve the country and the people.

The hero left and left behind regrets." Li Shimin said in a very impassioned tone.

I have to admit that even though the words of the other party will inevitably sound a lot "watery", but if a majestic king of a country can say this, no matter who listens to these words, there will be a touching resonance in their hearts. It's just that

It's a pity that Li Anran is not one of those Tu tribes in ancient times. Compared with the fake words of those officials in the main time and space, what Li Shimin said sincerely is nothing.

"Your Majesty, apart from rewards and related policies, have you and the civil servants and generals thought of anything else?" Looking at the dependents who were missing an arm or a leg, or even because of their eyes,

The wounded soldier who was blind could only have his family support him when he walked. Li Anran said with emotion in his heart.

"What? Is it possible that the real person thinks that besides rewards and some policies, there are better options?" Li Shimin, who knew that the other party would never ask this question if he didn't have any ideas, asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I personally think that the Tang Dynasty can build a martyrs monument, with the words "all the soldiers who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty will be immortal" engraved on it, specifically to commemorate those who lost their lives for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Anran, who had an idea after seeing the battle scenes captured by satellites, said.

"Martyrs Monument? All soldiers who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty will be immortalized forever?" After subconsciously repeating these two very fresh words, Li Shimin, who quickly understood the meaning and intention of these words, suddenly became excited and said: "

Okay, okay! This real person’s method is indeed much better than rewards and policies!!”

"Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong. When I propose to build this monument to the martyrs, I am not suggesting that you not grant peace policies to those wounded party members. This monument is extra." Although I knew that the other party was unlikely to hold the door down like this,

But just in case, Li Anran also gave a reminder.

"Haha, it seems that the real person has misunderstood me a little this time." Li Shimin, who heard some distrust in these words, knew that with the vast magical power that the other party has shown now, he, the emperor, can't care about him even if he wants to.

, so I simply pretended not to have heard of the rudeness in these words.

"Haha, it's not a misunderstanding. It's just that we stand from different angles, so the results of looking at the problem are different. What seems right to His Majesty may not be right to me, and vice versa." Lazy.

Li Anran, who continued to talk about this matter with the other party, changed the subject and said:

"As for the martyrs' monument, I hope your majesty can treat it with caution. In addition, in addition to this martyrs' monument, I also suggest that a martyrs' cemetery be built in the name of your majesty or the Tang Dynasty to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Resting place. If Your Majesty is willing, these two projects can be entrusted to me."

Although Li Shimin, as the king of a country, was somewhat unhappy with Li Anran's attitude. But after he understood the benefits of the Martyrs Monument and the Martyrs Cemetery to the Tang Dynasty, especially to himself, he felt a little unhappy.

It was quickly forgotten.

There is no way, for Li Shimin, his own face is of course very important, but he can't stand it. Every time someone brings benefits to himself and Datang, they are the kind of existence that cannot be refused. Therefore, no matter how unhappy he is,

As the king of a country, Li Shimin also knew how to choose.

So he put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "The Martyrs Cemetery? Great kindness! Real people are really about thinking about things that others have never thought about, and thinking about things that others have never thought of. However, those heroic warriors died on the battlefield for the country and the people. This monument to the martyrs

and the Martyrs Cemetery, there is no reason for real people to take care of them."

"Okay, since Your Majesty doesn't want me to interfere in this matter, then forget it. Anyway, Datang is now so poor that only money is left, so I will leave it to Your Majesty to build the Martyrs Monument and the Martyrs Cemetery. However, there is one thing I still want to say.

I have to remind Your Majesty." Li Anran, who had long expected that the other party would do this, said with a carefree smile.

"What's the matter? It doesn't matter if you say it, real person!" Although he felt slightly offended by being disrespectful to someone, Li Shimin still understood the importance and said sternly at the moment.

"Whether this monument to the martyrs or the cemetery of the martyrs, once it is completed, it will not only enhance His Majesty's prestige and win the love of the families of the martyrs. In my opinion, this has great merits! So, don't let a few silverfish damage it.

This is an important matter for Your Majesty." Li Anran, who didn't want this incident to cause problems, said seriously.

Although the image of Datang in history is quite positive, as a country, it is naturally impossible to be completely clean. Otherwise, the old saying "If the water is clear, there will be no fish" will not be passed down.

.

Even Li Anran knew that he suddenly proposed the Martyrs Monument and the Martyrs Cemetery because he was shocked by a certain "brilliance" emanating from those disabled soldiers. If he had to do it over again, he would still choose

Staying out of trouble doesn't mean you can tolerate silverfish.

If Li Shimin mentioned the Martyrs Monument and the Martyrs Cemetery before, he just thought that he could use this to consolidate his imperial power and reputation. Then after hearing Li Anran's words about immeasurable merit, he immediately paid more attention to it.
