Chapter 619: Martyrs' Cemetery

"It's a pity, all I can do now is to give preferential treatment to the soldiers who died in battle recently, those veterans who fought the world with me back then, I really have no choice." Li Er also regretted at this time.

Li Er is not a pity for money, he really wants to do something for the soldiers who fought the world with him back then, but a long time has passed, let alone finding the families of those soldiers, even the names of those soldiers, Li Er has no way to know them all.

"In this way, to spread my will, the Ministry of War will make every effort to find the list of soldiers who died in the war in the past from today, and find a way to find the families of these soldiers in various places, and all the soldiers who can find their names will be awarded the title of martyrs, and this title I will order the Ministry of Industry to create a special medal, just like the first-class meritorious medal, all families with soldiers killed in the war will receive the pension money of the imperial court."

There is only so much that Li Er can do, after all, ancient times are not as good as modern times, there is no perfect personnel registration system, and all Li Er can do is to do his best to find it.

"Old ministers, thank you for the soldiers who died in battle, the emperor!" Cheng Yanjin said, then knelt down and buckled his head at Li Er.

This head was not knocked by Cheng Biting Jin for himself, Cheng Biting Jin was knocked for those soldiers who laid down the country for the Tang Dynasty, so this knock, Cheng Biting Jin didn't think much about it, he just wanted to thank Li Er for those soldiers who had fought the world together, Li Er saw this and hurriedly asked people to help Cheng Biting Jin.

"Zhijie, what are you doing, I should do this, now we Datang can only do so much, when Datang's national strength is stronger in the future, I will be more preferential." Li Er nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, about those soldiers who have no way to find their families or even their lives, the minister has an idea." Zhang Nan said at this time.

"Oh? Qingquan, what do you think, tell me about it. Li Eryi heard that Zhang Nan had another idea, and hurriedly asked.

"We can build a martyr's cemetery outside Chang'an City, whether it is a famous martyr or an unknown martyr, we can place them in the martyr's cemetery for future generations to pay respects, they are all heroes, they deserve to be treated like this, so that those soldiers who died in battle, or the families of soldiers who died in war, can be regarded as having a thought, right? And we can also include patriotic education in our compulsory education. ”

"Every Qingming Festival and National Day, we can organize the students of the college to visit the martyrs' cemetery, so that they know that their current stable life is what these martyrs have exchanged for their lives, so that they can be more patriotic, and the minister feels that this is also a good thing for the next generation." Zhang Nan said.

"Good! This method is good, I not only want to build this martyr cemetery in Chang'an City, but I want to build such a martyr cemetery in all the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, not only students, everyone should go here to have a look, they should all learn which one, yes, patriotic education. Li Eryi patted his thigh and said.

"Wei Tianwu, did you hear it? Immediately go down to the court to choose a site to start construction, and by the way, send orders to the local state capitals, let them also build, this money is spent by the state treasury, they only need to count the names of local martyrs in various places, eh, just right, just cooperate with the newly established armed forces department to do it. Li Er is also resolute, what he says, then he must do it immediately, and he can't delay for a moment.

"Yes, Lord's Order." Wei Tianwu arched his hand.

"Your Majesty, it is good that the dead martyrs have been resettled, but this is not dead, but the soldiers who lost their arms and legs in the war are a lot of people, these people have also made great contributions to the establishment of my Datang, but they were sent home after the war because they lost the ability to fight, I have a lot of such soldiers, they have no arms and legs, they can't work in the field, and they are even more pitiful."

Li Shiji stood up and said, I have to say that Li Shiji considered the problem very comprehensively, not only thinking of the soldiers who died in battle, but even those soldiers who lost their labor force.

"Well, that's a problem too." Li Er nodded.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, he has also thought of this minister." Zhang Nan immediately stood up and said.

"Oh? You've thought of it, so let's talk about it. "Li Er likes Zhang Nan's character of taking precautions, it's so convenient. Every time Li Er is worried, Zhang Nan will always come up with a satisfactory solution.

"All veterans who have lost their ability to work can go to the Ministry of Armed Forces every year to receive the veteran's relief money, which is tentatively set at 500 wen per year, although 500 wen is not much, but it is barely able to make ends meet. All veterans who have lost their ability to fight but are able to work can receive 100 wen a year. Zhang Nan said.

"Let's do it." Li Er calculated in his heart, now the total number of veterans who are alive and unable to move in the Tang Dynasty is only 10,000, and the treasury can still afford this money.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Li Shiji heard that Li Er agreed, he hurriedly thanked him.

Li Er waved his hand and continued: "Then that's all for the issue of soldiers' pensions, this armed forces department, the military department assisted in the establishment, and the candidates will be decided by you, Zhijie, and you can give me a fold when it's set." ”

"The affairs of the martyr's cemetery will be done by the military department, and no one will draw it from the captives of Goguryeo, and if the silver is not enough, ask the household department to ask for it, and be sure to do this thing beautifully, by the way, the design of this cemetery will be handed over to Qingquan you, I don't worry about others getting it, or Qingquan You can do it." Li Er nodded and said.

"Commandment."

"Okay, this matter is settled, and the next thing is about the reward." As soon as Li Er's words came out, everyone's ears were pricked up.

This is the highlight of today's early dynasty.

Then Li Er made a gesture, and Liu Bing walked down quickly, and then took out the holy decree that Li Er had already prepared and began to read it.

The important generals who followed Li Er on the expedition this time are basically the princes of the country, so they will not move in the title, and Li Er gives these old ministers more food to seal the city, the only difference is Li Shiji, because he almost lost his life to protect Comrade Li Er, which is considered a great achievement, so it is more than other people's food towns.

After Li Shiji heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to ask the emperor to give all the minister's food to Lord Zhang, if there is no Lord Zhang, I am afraid that the life of the old minister would have been lost to Silla, the minister always thinks about how to repay the next Lord Zhang, the emperor will approve it." ”
