Li Ye is very free now.
Since the season began to fall, he suddenly became idle.
There are no major affairs in the country, and there is no plan to go abroad this year. Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others will share the trivial military and political affairs. I only need to outline the outline and pay more attention to it.
When he learned to be lazy at the right time, he found that he had a lot of free time.
When he was free, Li Ye would drink a pot of wine and sit on the roof of the palace hall with a wide view, watching the increasingly prosperous market in Chang'an, while carefully feeling the luck of the people coming from all directions.
These are his political achievements and the foundation of his life.
Conquering Hexi and defeating Tubo, all the people with lofty ideals and passions in the country would not return their hearts; after governing the world for more than half a year, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and most of the people who paid attention to practical benefits no longer complained.
Li Ye checked his fairy garden. Except for the frontiers, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has been basically outlined, and the people and stars all over the place are densely lit up. It really has the potential of a summer night star river.
And his cultivation base has also improved steadily. Although he is still in the Golden Immortal Realm, he is no longer the same as before, and he is not too far away from the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Li Ye carefully estimated that even if the Tang Dynasty did not expand its borders, as long as the Tang Dynasty recuperated for three years, most of the power of the feudal towns would be taken back by the imperial court, and they would no longer have the ability to exploit states and counties. At that time, his cultivation might be able to break through the Da Luojin Fairyland.
King An's Mansion is very close to King Qi's Mansion, sometimes King Qi would come over, but Sheng Ji was the one who came much more.
After more than half a year, the young master finally discovered that these two guys are one person.
Because there is no war in the world, and Li Maozhen doesn't worry about political affairs, so she is idle on weekdays. If she has something to do, she will come to Li Ye for a drink.
There are many times like this, and there are always times when feelings can't be by themselves.
Ever since, late one night, the two kings shared the same bed, there was lightning and thunder outside, heavy rain poured down, dragons and phoenixes were auspicious in the house, and orioles sang long. Young Master Si Ming pierced the window paper in the dim and uncertain lights, and saw the scene that made them feel like they were struck by lightning.
Since then, the way Shao Si Ming looked at Li Ye has changed, it has become normal, and there is no longer any weirdness.
On the contrary, the young master, although most of the time he looked the same as the young master, but occasionally he showed more resentful eyes, which made Li Ye feel uncomfortable when he saw it.
He doesn't care about these little things.
After all, Chang'an Practice Academy is about to start school.
This is one of Li Ye's national policies to recruit monks on a large scale and expand the team of monks in the Tang Dynasty.
Once the Chang'an Academy is completed, it will mark that the cultivation method will no longer be in charge of the Qin Tianjian, and it will completely draw a clear relationship with the Taoist school-to be precise, it will have cleared the relationship with the Quanzhen Temple.
Since then, practice exercises no longer only appear in Qintianjian, Shimen, Daomen and major families, and ordinary people have the possibility to step into the door of practice.
"The Practice College has three branches, the Basic College, the Qi Training College, and the Great Cultivator College."
In the Political Affairs Hall, Li Zhen and Li Ye reported the affairs of the Practice College, "The Basic College has the largest number of students, and the first phase recruits 8,000 people. Half of them are selected from the army with meritorious service, and half of them are selected from the civilian population with outstanding qualifications. They all adopt voluntary registration. Way.
"The former is under the direct control of the Ministry of War for assessment and selection, while the latter is dispatched by officials from three provinces and six ministries to cooperate with the masters of the practice academy to go to prefectures and counties for selection every year. The early affairs will be more complicated, but after a few years of work, a system will be formed. The court and local officials It will be more convenient if you are familiar with it.
"The Basic Academy is among the private sector, and only recruits students under the age of 16, and the age limit for military service can be extended to the age of the crown.
"The Qi Training Academy only recruits monks who are below the third level of Qi training, and they will basically be promoted from the Basic Academy. Once the cultivation level exceeds the third level of Qi training, they should be sent to the army or local states and counties. Of course, you can also enter Wukong Buddhism and Quanzhen Temple, went to foreign countries to preach and preach, inquired about the customs and customs of enemy countries, important military and political affairs, etc.
"The Qi Training Academy itself does not only teach cultivation, but also divides it into civil servants, generals, craftsmen, religion, etc., so that they can improve their cultivation and prepare for the life direction they will choose in the future.
"The Great Monk Academy only recruits monks who have achieved the eighth or ninth level of Qi training. The premise is that they have made enough merits. After obtaining the student qualifications, the academy will help them break through the realm of real people, and then take on more important official positions and become a pillar."
After saying this, Li Zhen kept silent, waiting for Li Ye to express his opinion.
In fact, Li Ye has no objection. These guidelines are the result of his discussions with everyone for a long time. Li Zhen just perfected them further, and he is the builder of the academy.
However, Li Ye still had something to say. He knocked on the case and said: "The civil servants and military commanders in the Qi Training Academy are believed to be able to recruit many students, and they are also the ones that young people want to enter. Craftsmen and religion. Partly, I am afraid that there are not many people who voluntarily enter, so you should publicize it well.
"These are two key parts. How about the energy of the former? Yangguan's magic weapon bed crossbow is a proof. If it develops well, it will even change the face of life. I want to see the magic weapon plane... the flying magic weapon as a Ordinary objects appear.
"Although the latter is a fine job, it is promoted quickly through meritorious service. It is most suitable for young people from poor backgrounds, good minds, and ambitions."
Li Zhen nodded frequently.
He said: "It requires the cooperation of the three provinces and six ministries. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen have always been inferior to others. Those who are ambitious will disdain them. The imperial court needs to improve their status.
"For the religious part, it depends on whether the teenagers are smart or not, and whether they can see through the essence of religion. If they can make good use of this weapon, they will definitely understand that it is a magic weapon for them to run rampant in foreign countries, and meritorious service and promotion are just backhanded. "
Li Ye nodded, "For the matter of the three provinces and six ministries, go discuss with Cui Keli and come up with a charter. Now that you are all prime ministers, you should have the courage to do so."
Li Zhen made a note of this.
Li Ye went on to say: "Chang'an Cultivation Academy, recruiting 8,000 people is still too little. Three years later, 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, all heroes in the world will have the opportunity to be trained by the imperial court and then serve the country.
"Ten years from now, there will be more than ten times as many qi-training monks in the Tang Dynasty! At that time, not to mention restoring the territory of our ancestors, even if we go to the horizon, we can see the hope.
"If, at that time, the craftsmen have developed a huge flying magic weapon that only needs to be controlled by Qi practitioners, can carry dozens of people and hundreds of people, and travel hundreds of thousands of miles a day, then the world of Tang Dynasty will be the real world!"
The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source. Download the huanyuanapp.org source change app here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
Li Zhen was startled.
He didn't expect that the blueprint in Li Ye's heart would be so broad, so broad that it could be called thrilling.
Li Zhen was about to stand up and salute, expressing his admiration to Li Ye, Li Ye waved his hand and asked him to continue to sit down, but he hadn't finished speaking.
Li Ye looked at Li Ye and said: "You have followed me for many years, and I will not hide some thoughts from you. I want to see that in ten or twenty years, Datang will open the era of national cultivation... I know that everyone has different aptitudes. Those who achieve Qi training are all one-in-a-million talents. But even if they can't achieve Qi training, I still want them to practice.
"If you can't become Wu Zong, then you can become a martial artist. A martial artist is also an official position in the army. If you can't become a martial artist, then you can become a warrior. It's not difficult, right? Half of the Tang people in the world can cultivate to the age of crown Becoming a samurai is not an exaggeration, is it?"
"If ordinary soldiers in the army are warriors, how can the Tang army not be victorious in every battle
"I know what you want to say. There are not enough resources and cultivation resources. But this is exactly the problem we want to solve. The world is actually very big. The cultivation resources that we don't have in the Tang Dynasty can be found outside the territory. If we can't accumulate wealth and cultivation resources To strengthen the national strength of the dynasty, what are we doing to expand our territories and launch wars
"Ten years from now, I want everyone in the Tang Dynasty to have food to eat, and everyone to have clothes to wear. Twenty years later, I want everyone in the Tang Dynasty to have books to read and everyone to be able to practice! How many people are studying now? Printing books is not cheap. I know that the things in the farmland can't be finished, and if I go to study and practice, the fields will be abandoned, and I also know.
"Ordinary farmer's family can't afford these now. But I said ten or twenty years later. What did I set up the practice academy for? Printing books is not cheap, so let the artisan academy study and make it cheap; Farm tools are not strong enough, let them solve this problem.
"Insufficient grain production? Then go to the horizon. There is always high-yield grain outside the region. What does the army do? I might as well tell you that in the south, there is rice that is ripe three times a year. If it is captured there, Datang will have a better crop than Jiangnan." granary.
"Let me tell you again, at the eastern end of the East China Sea, there is still 50 shi of grain per mu! Not to mention that the army of the Tang Dynasty occupied it, as long as they reach that place and bring back grain seeds, our farmers in the Tang Dynasty will no longer be in short supply." grain!
"When the farmers have no shortage of food and clothing, and can easily survive, they will naturally think about reading. If they can't read, they will let their children read; if they can't practice, they will let their children practice.
"Do you think I'm talking in my sleep? What I'm talking about is the truth. Twenty years later, the people of Tang Dynasty will not only have enough food and clothing, but also be proud of the world!"
Li Zhen was completely dumbfounded.
As a scholar, an aspiring scholar with national affairs in mind, who wants to serve the country with passion and make the country strong and invincible, the future Li Ye paints is a scene that he even wants to embrace in his dreams.
It is not impossible to improve printing skills and make printing books cheaper. There was no paper before the Eastern Han Dynasty! Finding new fabrics and improving weaving techniques so that everyone does not have to suffer from the cold in winter is an exaggeration, but it is not completely hopeless.
but!
Fifty shi of grain per mu
What it is
Datang's current grain yield per mu can reach five shi, and the farmers will wake up laughing in the middle of the night!
Ten times the output, what kind of food is that? !
Is there such food in the world
Li Zhen is not a pedantic scholar who is stupid in reading. In fact, there is no such scholar under Li Ye's command. Whether it is the officials of Li Zhen's lineage or the Confucian scholars of Qingzhou Confucianism, they are all very practical. They are not comparable to the Yangzhou Confucianism on paper.
Whether it's farming, water conservancy, or the military and armored soldiers, they all have the most basic knowledge.
Because of this, Li Zhencai is very clear that whether it is the rule of Zhenguan or the prosperity of Kaiyuan, many people in the world are hungry!
Eating porridge in leisure time and dry rice in busy time is the life that ordinary people yearn for most. Meat? What kind of thing is that? If you eat a meal during festivals and festivals, you will laugh so hard that you can't see your teeth. That is a prosperous age!
Not enough food to eat, this is the biggest problem of the dynasty, an eternal problem.
To feed most of the common people, and to reduce the number of common people to starve to death in times of disaster, is the lifelong goal of an aspiring official!
But now, Li Ye actually said that there is fifty shi of grain per mu
If there is, there will be no one who can't eat enough in the world of Tang Dynasty!
Once you can eat enough, wear warm clothes, don't go hungry in summer, don't get cold in winter, and books become cheap and affordable, then fools don't read and write, and don't practice spiritual practice!
If there is a day, under Li Ye's governance, how can the Tang Dynasty not enter the era of national practice
Datang... how could he not dominate the world? !
Li Zhen trembled with excitement just thinking about it. He forgot about etiquette, forgot about dignity, threw himself in front of Li Ye, grabbed Li Ye's arm, stared at Li Ye with scarlet eyes, and asked urgently: "Your Highness, Your Highness... really have a mu Fifty stones of food?!"
"Really." Li Ye could understand Li Zhen's mood, patted his hand, and said kindly, "It's just that the distance is a bit far. If we want to get there, we need ships that can sail thousands of miles at sea and can withstand big storms. .. ... "
"Research, research! Let the artisan department do the research!" Li Zhen yelled like crazy, "What's a thousand miles? It's not like the caravans of our Tang Dynasty have traveled westward for thousands of miles!"
"It's not going west, it's going east. It's different. The sea situation is different..." Li Ye was interrupted by Li Zhen when he said this.
With a red neck, he roared: "Let the big monks go! Let the real monks go! Let them go and bring back the food seeds!"
Li Ye: "..."
Is there no big monk in South America comparable to the real world
Even if the monks of the Tang Dynasty were able to head north along the land route, reach the Bering Strait, then enter North America, and finally reach South America, but they must bring back potatoes and corn seeds...
etc.
Li Ye's pupils shrank suddenly.
This is not impossible.
As a traveler, of course he knew that the potatoes native to the Andes Mountains in South America must be able to produce 50 shi per mu without any problem. Before he crossed over to this thing, Dongtu had already planted it all over the ground, and it was very cheap.
Potatoes are also food and vegetables. Although it may be a bit painful to eat it as a meal all day, at least it can guarantee that people will not starve to death.
And once the corn seed from Central America was brought back...
On the earth, since the past dynasties, the population has been only about 80 million at most. Why did it increase to 400 million by the end of the Qing Dynasty? The biggest reason is because corn and potatoes have appeared, and everyone has food to eat...
The yield of corn per mu is estimated to be only a dozen shi, which is still much less than that of potatoes, but it is real grain. When Li Ye was on earth, he was a farmer's son, and he ate corn rice, commonly known as corn rice, when he was a child.
To put it bluntly, corn rice is much more fragrant than rice rice, and the elderly in rural areas are especially used to it and like to eat it.
But to be honest, the taste of Baogu rice is relatively rough, not as soft and delicate as rice rice, and it was gradually eliminated later.
Don't worry about the taste now. With corn, no one in Tang Dynasty will be hungry. If it is served with potatoes... Hehe, let's all go to practice.
Li Zhen left.
When he walked away, his face was full of red light, and his spirit was high.
From the looks of it, the artisan branch of Chang'an Practice College, or the Baigong branch, should become the most important branch.
Li Ye thought about it for himself: It's actually not that difficult to organize dozens of monks in the Realm Realm and use the map he drew to reach South America. There is also a good chance of finding corn and potato seeds.
After all, they didn’t invade other people in the past, and the people over there probably wouldn’t rashly fight with their own people, maybe they could establish a stable diplomatic relationship...
The only problem, and the biggest problem, is that to go north to the Bering Strait in the Arctic Circle, you need to pass through the control area of Silla and Khitan.
Silla is not a big problem, but Khitan is.
Li Ye thought about it again: Do potatoes and corn have to be obtained, and whether they must be obtained as soon as possible.
No matter how he thinks, the answer is yes.
The country is strong, time is waiting for no one!
For Li Ye personally, this is related to the improvement of his cultivation level.
The world is like this, Li Ye can get the respect of 80% of Tang people, but he can't get the luck of all Tang people. You can't expect an old and weak woman and child who can't even fill their stomachs and survive the cold winter under your rule to have any absolute loyalty to you.
With all his efforts and calculations, he may be able to become a Da Luo Jinxian in three years.
But Daomen Xianting has a lot of Daluo Jinxian.
Not only that, there is also a higher and higher saint realm. For example, Laojun.
Who knows what they think
Allah from the west has defeated even the holy Buddha, maybe he is also a saint.
Under the saints, all are ants. No matter how strong Daluo Jinxian is, he and the saint are still in two worlds, facing each other head-on, it is estimated that they will only be ravaged.
According to this speed of realm improvement, even if Li Ye regained the Western Regions, destroyed the Khitan, and deterred the grasslands, it would be difficult to achieve the saint realm. Whether it is the Western Regions or the grasslands, in fact, the population is too small compared with the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, it is more difficult for people in these places to be completely loyal to Datang than for Li Ye to find potatoes and corn.
Only by fully obtaining the luck of the Tang people, and supplemented by expanding the territory, can Li Ye become a saint.
It is also just speculation based on the possibility derived from the trend.
Now it seems that bringing back the seeds of potatoes and corn, and at the same time improving the printing and weaving techniques, so that everyone in the Tang Dynasty can read and practice while they are fed and clothed—at least let them see this Hope, it is not only the key to improving Datang's strength, but also Li Ye's own strength!
"At the end of the day, we have to deal with the Khitan first, so as to open up a way for the real people to go to South America to find food seeds." Thinking of this, Li Ye already had a plan in mind.
Khitan is a problem he has always wanted to solve.
The question is whether he is ready and whether he can complete his work in one battle.
But to solve the Khitan, we have to face up to the issue of the fairyland war.
Li Ye decided to take a look at the battle situation in the Immortal Domain first, and then decide on matters in the mortal world.
