"Chen Yafu and others will meet Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yafu took Zhi Du and Li Guang to the hall, bowed down, and said.

"Give a seat to the prime minister, the ruling Jinwu, and the guard!" Liu Che commanded Wang Dao beside him, and then smiled at the three of them: "Zhuqing should already know, Wusun was ambushed in Rouge Mountain, and he has basically perished, and the arrogance of the Huns is probably going to rise again. ”

It's hardly a thought to be.

After the Huns destroyed the Yue clan last time, they immediately couldn't wait to come to Chang'an to show off their strength and blackmail the Han monarchs.

It was the peace after that blackmail that made the Han family give the guy that the Bank of China said to the Xiongnu.

This incident has made the Han family grit their teeth and be ashamed.

Now, the military ministers have won such a big battle.

With his sassy character and the psychology of wanting to surpass his father and ancestors in his heart.

If he hadn't come over and blackmail the Han family, it would have been impossible.

In the face of the blackmail that the Huns will inevitably come, it is worth thinking about whether the Han family will suffer this knife.

In terms of results, there will be a war between Han and Hungary, and this war is not far from breaking out, five or six years at the latest, or two or three years at the earliest, and the Han army that has completed the preparations for the war will inevitably go out of the fortress.

Well, it doesn't seem like a big deal to take a knife now for strategic deception.

It's just that before the war, the country still bowed its head to others, and humiliatingly used money to sell women peace.

But anyone who has a little backbone will have a bad idea.

And that's just one of them.

In addition, the Huns have always been inch-inch. Insatiable.

It's too easy to agree to their request, which may make these guys think that the Han family is easy to bully. And then put forward more unreasonable demands, and even large-scale invasions.

This is also unavoidable.

Liu Che didn't believe it. The Xiongnu had no plan to invade the Han dynasty.

For nomads who have no fixed place to live and live in pursuit of water and grass, persimmons are always right to pick up soft pinching.

After Prime Minister Zhou Yafu took his seat, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Huns have always been fierce and inward-looking, and if Your Majesty shows weakness, the ministers are afraid that they will gain an inch." Good at the edge! And the art of war said: strong is shown to be weak, weak is shown to be strong, now the Huns are arrogant, Your Majesty should show it to be strong, with the greed of the other generation, there is no intention to move! ”

Li Guang couldn't wait and then said: "The minister please release it as the guard of the county on the side, and guard the border wall for His Majesty, but the Huns dare to provoke, the minister will take his head." To repay Your Majesty! ”

Zhidu also said: "Yidi beasts have never been trustworthy, and the lessons of the Warring States are not far away. The minister also thinks that it is not appropriate to give in! ”

Well, Liu Che actually knew it for a long time. Asking these three guys is tantamount to asking in vain.

As the representative of the current Han military hawks in the imperial court, the so-called ass determines the head. Even if Zhou Yafu and the others were willing to compromise, they would not say it.

Not to mention. The generals and princes below have long felt that their big axes have become unbearable, and they can't wait to make contributions and glorify their ancestors, and there are countless people.

Under the influence of this trend of thought, expecting the military to preside over peace is like Boeing calling for peace, which is absolutely delusional!

As the violent machine of the state, the army has long become an irritable machine in the past few years, under the agitation and beating of Liu Che in the dark.

Liu Che smiled and said: "Since the prime minister and others think that I should be treated toughly, then I will be treated by force, since Emperor Gao, my Han family has played a woman with a bribe, and I don't want to suffer such a humiliating day anymore!" ”

"Please pass on the decree of the Prime Minister on behalf of me, all the captains, all the captains, and all the subordinates: the method of using soldiers, if you are not diligent and do not teach, the generals will also be wrong; Xuanming and edification, you can't do your best, and the crime of the soldier is also! Generals, lieges, captains, and Simas, for the lead of all armies, should be the first soldiers, preach enlightenment, practice the art of war diligently, and teach the soldiers! The poem says: Warriors, the dry city of the country! Generals, lieges, captains, and Simas, you should know what I mean! ”

This is an obvious order ordering the mobile and field forces of the whole country to enter a quasi-war state, and it can even be said that it is a war mobilization order.

Prime Minister Zhou Yafu immediately showed a serious face, stood up, and knelt down to receive the edict: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”

Then, Zhou Yafu raised his head and said: "Your Majesty wants to reorganize the army for war, declare enlightenment, and Chen Yafu will follow the edict, but it is just ...... This military spending...... I don't know how to spend ......"

As soon as Liu Che heard this, he knew that Zhou Yafu had set his sights on his private small treasury again.

Liu Che's small treasury, although it has been spent a lot in the past two years.

But you earn more!

Last year and this year alone, in terms of salt and iron, Liu Che's small treasury was at least close to 100,000 yuan.

In addition, last year, the Shaofu purchased a large amount of wheat, and as a result, this year after the development of flour technology, it made a lot of money, and the profit was nearly tripled.

There is also this year's Xinhua dried fish, so far, Shaofu has at least obtained more than 3,000 stone of dried fish from Xinhua, with a market value of at least tens of millions.

Plus the profits from minting money.

At present, the funds in the treasury of Shaofu are even more than when the first emperor was in power......

This really dazzled the government and the opposition, and many people didn't understand how this magic trick was played.

Since Taizong, the emperor of the Han family has worked hard, been diligent and thrifty, and even the wife who is reluctant to repair a pavilion has spent more than half of it in only two years, and then earned back twice the amount of money.

Although I don't understand why this is happening, it doesn't prevent Zhou Yafu from reaching out to Liu Che to ask for money.

Liu Che, of course, is not a miser.

In fact, history tells Liu Che that although war will drag down the economy most of the time, sometimes, there will be wars and economic booms.

A large-scale war will inevitably lead to the rapid development of related industries and even promote the entire social revolution.

Historically, the war against the Xiongnu during the reign of Little Pig exhausted the national strength of the Han Dynasty.

But it's not without benefits.

It was the war that made China completely enter the Iron Age, after the Han Dynasty. In major areas of the country, iron tools have basically been realized. And completely eliminated bronzes.

It was also the war that forced agriculture in the north to abandon corn as a staple food. Instead, wheat cultivation was developed.

That's unintentional.

Now, through advance layout and unified deployment, Liu Che is convinced that this war, at least before and in the early stage, can become the driving force for the development of Han industry and technology.

"I will let the Shaofu set aside additional war funds every year, and starting next year, at least 30,000 yuan will be added to the training funds, and at least 20,000 yuan will be allocated for changing clothes!" Liu Che said lightly: "There are more." The new dried fish, I will order, most of it will be used for the consumption of the army! ”

In one breath, it is an increase in military spending of more than 50,000 yuan.

This good news almost shook Zhou Yafu a little unsteadily.

You know, in the past, the military spending for the whole year may not be more than that.

The Han army currently implements a conscription system, and all soldiers come from the people who serve on duty.

Expenses on the soldiers' salaries. Almost infinitely close to zero.

That is, after ascending the throne today, he began to pay attention to the treatment of grassroots soldiers.

First, an edict was issued to increase the amount of corn that soldiers could supply each day, and at the same time, the so-called allowance ranging from five to several tens of dollars per month was also increased.

Among them were local garrisons and non-field regiments. Each person can get a monthly allowance of five yuan, while the soldiers of the Great Wall garrison, the border garrison and the field regiment will depend on the difference between the soldiers and auxiliaries. Get a stipend of fifteen to forty dollars.

All of these allowances were in the accounts of the Shaofu and were jointly supervised by the Lantai Shangshu, the Confessor and the Shizhong. Every six months, it will be distributed centrally. The local garrisons were issued by the local commanders of the Imperial History Coalition Army, who jointly sang the promise by name and distributed them one by one, while the field battles, the Great Wall, and the border garrisons were distributed by the Shangshu of Lantai and the local county guards and generals.

Not only the non-commissioned officers have a stipend, but also the officers have a so-called allowance.

Starting from the chief of the army, in addition to his original salary, according to his rank, he will be given a corresponding allowance.

It is these two policies that have completely won the hearts of the world's soldiers, and the soldiers below are really grateful and grateful to Jinshang. This is also the reason why not long ago, the princes were in tandem, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and they were crushed by the Son of Heaven without pressure.

With these two policies alone, the Shaofu has spent nearly 80 million yuan in subsidies and millions of stone corn supplies in the past two years.

But Zhou Yafu and most of the courtiers with more than 2,000 stones knew in their hearts where the money came from......

Since the accession of the Son of Heaven, the family property of those convicts, heroes and big businessmen who have been confiscated, as well as the donations of merchants from all walks of life.

Among them, the Xuanqu Ren family contributed nearly 50 million yuan of assets and more than 3,000 gold of gold to the Son of Heaven.

In other words, the Son of Heaven's inner treasury actually didn't spend much at all.

It was spent on the convicts, the dismissed princes, and the confiscated merchants.

It's really laughable.

But Imakami seems to be very good at playing similar tricks.

For example, the Baochuan Road project cost the money of relatives Cheng Zheng and Zhuo's family, and the rail carriage project from Chang'an to Hanguguan used donations from the Luoyang Division's family, and even the Longshou Canal was especially the money of the unlucky ones who spent it.

This has to make people sigh, the old Liu family is really in the same line, and now it is a good successor of the Liu family.

This exercise has fallen all over the ground!

It's just that this won't be long-term after all.

It wasn't until the official camp of salt and iron and the five-baht coin official construction that everyone knew that they had already thought about the follow-up today.

Since the Son of Heaven was so generous, Zhou Yafu didn't want to be polite to the Son of Heaven, so he immediately thanked him: "Your Majesty is generous, and the ministers thank you!" ”

"Prime Minister......" Liu Che stood up with a smile and asked, "According to the system, does the treasury also have to bear a part?" You can't just let the inner library spend on everything......"

Zhou Yafu's face turned blue in an instant.

Treasury?!

How much money can the treasury have!

The Han family's tax was originally divided between the state and the Son of Heaven's inner treasury.

The tax belongs to the state and is given to the Son of Heaven.

But now that he came to power, the money earned by the Shaofu's inner treasury is simply incomparable to the little land tax and commercial tax received by the state.

The profits of the salt and iron government are likely to surpass the land tax and become the country's largest source of finance and taxation in the future.

Forcibly suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Zhou Yafu stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury is tight." The land tax per year is not much. It is also necessary to provide the government and the opposition with hundreds of officials and the people, and the people of the world to support them. This year's Jiangdu typhoon has emptied the treasury, and the officials have cried to the ministers many times......"

"Then raise taxes...... Liu Chetu saw the dagger, revealing his purpose: "Increase the mining tax and vehicle and vessel tax!" ”

"In the past, Emperor Zu Gao ordered the merchants not to ride in clothes, and the heavy rent tax was humiliated by them. If you don't have enough food, won't you humiliate Emperor Gao? Moreover, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the other generation of businessmen, with skillful skills and sales to make a fortune, rich and noble compared to princes, but it is not beneficial to the country, and there is no benefit to the country. The five beetles should also be killed! The sky has the virtue of a good life, and it is abuse to punish without teaching, and I don't want to add to it. But can't taxes be raised yet? Liu Che said lightly: "The prime minister will go back and study it carefully, the cloth is middle-class, and he will get rich with hard work." Those who can only support their families should not be taxed. Those who have more than 500,000 yuan in income from agriculture and mulberry income. Or if there are more than ten servants, and those who are rich with taxes and money, or those who have mines producing more than 300,000 yuan of iron, copper, lead, gold and silver, or those who have chariots and ships worth more than 500,000 yuan, they may be taxed. ”

Zhou Yafu listened, but he was shocked!

Zhou Yafu's political ideology, although close to Confucianism, was very much influenced by his father, Zhou Bo, in essence.

And Zhou Bo is a well-known old-fashioned politician.

In history, Zhou Yafu insisted on fighting with Liu Che's emperor father on the issue of the five return of the Xiongnu to the righteous wait, and it can be seen that although this person is somewhat sympathetic to Confucianism under the influence of Yuan An, in his bones, he is still the thinking of the old Huang school.

It's the same as having two sides to a coin.

The old Huang school has its advanced side, and naturally it also has its backward and decadent side.

And the backward and decadent side of the old Huang school is the most serious of all schools.

This can be seen from the right and wrong of Yuan Gusheng and Huang Sheng's argument about Tang Wu Geding in history.

Huang Lao's old-fashioned thinking is very serious.

Conservatism means that they subconsciously resist any laws or policies that could lead to dramatic social change.

Zhou Yafu was relatively enlightened, but after listening to Liu Che's words, he also frowned a little.

Vehicle and vessel tax? Mining tax?

It's good to say that the mining tax has existed since ancient times, but this vehicle and vessel tax is unheard of!

Zhou Yafu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he found that he had no reason to refuse at all.

The reason is very simple, the object of the Son of Heaven's levy is only aimed at those wealthy businessmen and big landlords.

These two types of people, regardless of faction, are to be attacked, suppressed, and suppressed.

Liu Che saw Zhou Yafu's tangled appearance, and did not hesitate to make up for him: "Isn't the prime minister unwilling to increase the tax of rich businessmen and tycoons, but would rather increase the land tax?" ”

This knife is really ruthless and accurate.

Let Zhou Yafu lose all reasons and excuses for opposition.

As military spending increases, taxes will definitely increase.

Taxes were raised either on the peasants or on the merchant aristocracy.

For the politicians and princes of the Han dynasty who cherished their feathers and valued fame more than their lives.

Between the peasants and the merchants, there is no need for brains to think about who they want, and the answer will be given subconsciously - of course, the tax on the merchants will be increased.

Otherwise, as long as Zhou Yafu dares to say that he is willing to add a field tax, and this word spreads, the public opinion of the world and the condemnation of the people are enough to make Zhou Yafu and the entire Zhou family instantly become rats crossing the street.

Zhou Yafu raised his head, squirmed his lips, and said in an imperceptible voice: "No! Respectfully! Tomorrow, we will gather a crowd to discuss the ...... of vehicle and vessel tax and mining tax."

But his appearance is full of grievances.

It seems to say: Your Majesty, you are a scoundrel!

Liu Che laughed.

That's right, he's just playing a scoundrel.

The matter of increasing the mining tax and the vehicle and vessel tax, he, the emperor, is not a scoundrel, and it is difficult to persuade other courtiers to agree.

After all, now the old Huang faction is in power.

Zhou Yafu, the prime minister, is notoriously tough, and he is tough and tough, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to convince them with reason, and it will take several months.

It is better to use public opinion to kidnap.

The so-called emperor is a scoundrel, and the gods can't bear it!

Moreover, as an emperor, you will not be a scoundrel, that is not good.

Zhou Yafu thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, if you do this, I am afraid that the additional taxes imposed by the ministers will not be more than 10 million, and they will be used for military expenses." It's better than nothing......"

Zhou Yafu's thinking is obviously still stuck in the inherent impression.

Han Dynasty taxes. In the past, it was always relied on the poorest peasants at the bottom to expropriate from the land.

This is a tax for merchants. Even in the post-Lu period, when it was collected, it was only tens of millions to tens of thousands of dollars per year, and most of the money collected was cheek money.

In this way, Zhou Yafu feels that even if the vehicle and vessel tax and mining tax are levied, I am afraid it will not be much.

But how did Zhou Yafu know that after a few decades, the social economy had already withered from the post-Lu period. It has become the prosperous age it is today.

In the Kanto region, a businessman with a fortune of one million is not a huge wealth at all.

Ten million is the starting point, and tens of thousands of families have property, not one or two.

As in all societies, wealth is concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest few.

Zhou Yafu would not have known that in later generations, there was a government called the Southern Song Dynasty, which was half of the country. The annual commercial tax is several times that of the land tax!

Therefore, Liu Che smiled and gave Zhou Yafu a ticket: "The prime minister can do it with confidence, I believe in me." The vehicle and vessel tax and the mining tax will never be less than the salt and iron income! ”

It is a must, piggy towards the mid-term. The two carriages of the state treasury are the salt and iron official camp and the tax on vehicles and ships, as well as the tax on mines.

The proportion is even higher than the field tax!

If it weren't for the piggy playing away, it would have come out of the way. There will be no financial pressure at all!

Now. The economy of the Han dynasty and the vitality of the merchants were more developed than those of the Little Pig Dynasty.

Even if it is only for those who are the richest to be taxed, Liu Che believes that at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year can be collected, which is enough to pay for military expenses.

After getting Liu Che's assurance, Zhou Yafu was relieved.

To be honest, after resisting, Zhou Yafu also began to calm down.

The crackdown on Haoqiang, especially those big dogs, nouveau riche businessmen, Zhou Yafu and the liehou class, are all happy to see.

At this time, the hatred of the merchants in society was very high.

Not only the people at the bottom are hostile to these rich and unkind guys, but even the high-level princes also look at them unpleasantly.

Think about it, a 10,000-year-old marquis has only 2 million yuan in national taxes, most of which are grain.

And a businessman, sitting on tens of millions of wealth, is more exaggerated than the princes and kings.

How can this not attract hatred?

Therefore, it is not a day or two for public opinion to shout and kill businessmen.

If it weren't for the old Huang faction who had always been in power, and any one of them came to power with Confucianism, it would have been a big clean-up immediately.

However, the liquidation of Confucianism is a simple and crude one-size-fits-all, how can Liu Che not do it.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zhou Yafu played: "Your Majesty, the minister heard, after Wusun was ambushed in Rouge Mountain, there was a remnant of the army, and he escaped from the encirclement, the minister looked at the map, Rouge Mountain to the clouds, but two thousand miles, and the light horse can be reached in half a month, and the minister and the ruling Jinwu and the guard all feel that maybe the imperial court can try to recruit this department, get its strength, or benefit China!" ”

When it came to military issues, Zhou Yafu's eyebrows fluttered.

In the past two years, Tuo Liu Che has spared no effort to instill the blessing of brainwashing such remarks as 'there must be a war between Han and Hungary' and 'how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch', and now the court has regarded the Xiongnu as an enemy who must be divided into victories and losers.

Since it is an enemy, it is correct to strengthen oneself no matter what means are used to strike at the other party.

In addition, there is no mustard of the Liu Rong incident.

Therefore, Zhou Yafu also lost the strength in his previous life on the issue of the five return of the Xiongnu.

On the contrary, it became the vanguard of actively promoting, buying and co-opting the nobles and hostile tribes within the Xiongnu.

As a soldier, Zhou Yafu knows very well that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, at present, most of the newly established cavalry in the past two years are actually infantry on horseback.

The consciousness of a large number of grass-roots officers and even middle and high-level officers is still stuck in the era of large-scale infantry, and when considering problems and deciding on war and defense, they are still considering problems with the idea that the bow and crossbow are kings.

For example, in June this year, during the Guanzhong exercise, a certain Sima, led 3,000 cavalry, was ordered to occupy a certain pass.

As a result, Sima ordered his subordinates to ride to the pass, and then, still in the same way as before, ordered his soldiers to dismount and attack with bows and crossbows......

The point is that his superior, the lieutenant of the department, actually felt that this person had done the right thing......

This made the high-level of the Han army really laugh and cry.

Judging from the change in thinking and operational thinking, the Han army still has a long way to go.

Next year, Wuyuan will open, and Zhou Yafu will focus on this issue in Wuyuan. At the same time, some insightful and insightful young officers were promoted.

The ideological problems of officers can be solved through the training of Wuyuan.

But the combat habits and tactical literacy of the non-commissioned officers. It's not something that can be solved by training.

At present, more than 90 percent of the Han soldiers are before enlistment. I have never ridden a horse at all, even if it is the birthplace of the Han cavalry, the situation in the three counties of the north (Longyou, Dai, Shang) is also very serious.

Otherwise, Emperor Taizong would not stipulate that the treatment of the knights in the north is compared with that of the three elders and officials.

The current situation is that the Han dynasty has a serious shortage of qualified cavalry instructors, especially experienced and battle-hardened cavalry instructors.

At this time. Zhou Yafu and others will naturally look for solutions in history.

Zhao Wuling Wang Hu Fu cavalry shooting has become the focus of everyone's research.

Since King Zhao Wuling can learn from Yi Di, the monarchs and ministers of the Han family naturally have no spiritual burden.

The sea is inclusive of all rivers, there are places that accommodate large enemies, and the Chinese have never been afraid to study seriously, absorb and summarize their own experience.

And now. The appearance of the remnants of the Wusun army naturally became the perfect candidate for riding instructors in the hearts of Zhou Yafu and others.

Not to mention, the Wusun people once domesticated and bred such an excellent horse breed as the Wusun horse, no matter what. The benefits of their participation in China's military buildup are obvious.

"Wusun remnants ......" Liu Che thought for a while. I don't think it's a big problem, as long as the Wusun people can run near the Great Wall. Then, the Han family will be able to protect them.

It is impossible for the Huns to fight with the Han family for a group of lost dogs.

Historically. The five tribes of the Xiongnu, including Lu Tazhi, the king of Donghu, dragged their families and returned to the Han family, and they did not see the military ministers fighting with the Han family.

Even if the military ministers wanted to fight, Liu Che felt that it would be a small-scale local conflict at most.

That's just right, you can sharpen the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

Even if the worst happens, the Huns invade on a large scale and fight on the inner line, Liu Che is still afraid that the Huns will not succeed?

You must know that fighting on the inner line, even in the past, the Han army has never been afraid of the Huns.

What's more, the equipment and cavalry of the Han army are now more than twice as powerful as in the past.

If the Huns want to come, Liu Che will let them see what is called the Mo Dao Array - although Liu Che dispelled the idea of equipping Mo Dao on a large scale, he also equipped a Mo Dao army on a small scale.

Coupled with the Mo knife hands of Hu Ben and Yu Linwei, if necessary, Liu Che can still make up a Mo knife army of about 3,000 people, so that the Huns can see what a steel harvester is.

"This matter, I will leave it to the prime minister to do, and I will send an order to Yunzhong County to fully cooperate!"

As soon as this decision was made, Zhou Yafu immediately smiled.

Zhou Yafu heard the rumors very early, and today has decided to change the past tradition of the prime minister working in the prime minister for more than ten years or even to death.

The Son of Heaven will impose restrictions on the terms of office of the Prime Minister and the Nine Emperors, as well as the officials of the world.

It is said that the term of office will be five years, and all positions may not be re-elected for more than two terms.

Although Zhou Yafu felt that he was young and strong, he could still continue to shine for the Son of Heaven and Sheji for more than ten, twenty or even thirty years.

However, considering the fate of his father, there is also the bleakness of Zhang Cang's later years in Beiping.

Zhou Yafu knew wisely that it should be done in moderation.

Besides, if he occupies the position of prime minister for too long, not only will the son of heaven be unhappy in his heart, but others will also be very unhappy.

Rather than eventually rebelling and leaving, or even ending up in death and annihilation, it is better to retire successfully, go home to raise Yi and grandchildren, and be happy.

For example, Qu Zhou Hou Li sent and Gong Gao Hou Han is a good example.

After they gave office, their status and treatment did not change, but improved some, and the Son of Heaven would consult these special veterans every three or five times, and they would be rewarded continuously during the New Year's holidays.

Therefore, Zhou Yafu has decided that after doing these two worlds, he will resolutely resign, lead by example, and set an example for those who come after him, so that not only his own life and family wealth will be guaranteed, but he will also be able to leave a strong mark in history the next day.

It's just that his term of office is counted as two terms of ten years, and there are only seven years left, and if it is counted as eight years, it will only be five years.

In this way, there is a very serious issue involved - political legacy.

Even if it is a slave, after death, she hopes to have a tombstone with her name written on it.

Not to mention the dignified princes?

People have left their names, geese have left their voices, Zhou Yafu thinks. I have to leave something for posterity. To children and grandchildren, to those who will come in thousands of years. Let them know that there was once a person named Zhou Yafu, who had been prime minister, made meritorious contributions to the society, and did things for the country.

And the best way to achieve this is to...... The handsome master invaded the country, and the ruler of the country asked the guilt in front of His Majesty; Thousands of miles of expeditions, take its social artifact. to tell the fathers and elders of the world.

Defeating the Xiongnu has become the best inheritance that Zhou Yafu chose for himself to leave to future generations.

Compared with this goal, all other so-called insistences, bottom lines and principles are floating clouds.

So, Zhou Yafu immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are respectful!" ”

Liu Che said again: "Emperor Taizong, the ancestor of the Emperor, once issued an edict to the knights of the northern land, the officials, and the three elders...... It's just that. I felt that this criterion was too broad, who could be a knight and who could not be a knight. It is not clear, and it refers only to the Northland. Is it not to put the good riders of the world into nothing? I don't even take it, I want to change it to do the world! ”

This question. The Han family actually knew about it for a long time.

But alas, this is an order from Emperor Taizong. Where do the courtiers dare to criticize?

Only Liu Che, who is also the Son of Heaven, can propose amendments.

No one else, even the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, could say anything more about this.

Zhou Yafu, Li Guang and Zhi all bowed and said, "Please teach Your Majesty!" ”

"I intend to expand the edict of Taizong to the whole country, where there are more than two horses, can be good at riding, can be knights, knights than five doctors, such as officials, three elders, it can be seen that the official does not worship, can enter and exit the official office, can be on the bus to write to the court, but can not be listed in the city, once the court ordered, all knights, all need to bring their own saddle horses, from the army to conquer, Qing and so on on the basis of me, go back to discuss with the ministers, perfect, formulate the so-called good riding standards, and even knights to riding and tactical level, divided into upper, middle and lower three classes, their privileges are different, After the Qing and others are formulated, I will read and use the book policy! Liu Che said slowly.

This so-called knight class is actually an improved version of Liu Che's policy of all the soldiers in the Han Dynasty and the knight policy in the Northland, and it is also a policy to expand the source of civilian soldiers.

In this way, those who have the conditions and meet the requirements of cavalry will train and hone their riding skills on their own.

The country then has a reliable and qualified source of soldiers.

More importantly, in doing so, Liu Che was able to expand the reach of the ruling class.

All those reckless heroes and heroes are included in the system.

After the implementation of this policy, Liu Che can pretend to be forced to say to people: The heroes of the world have been put into my urn.

As for the naysayers?

There will be no naysayers!

The Han people were extremely martial, from the ministers, to the peddlers and pawns, and even the scholars who had the impression of being weak, all of them had weapons and killing techniques.

The proportion of people in the Han dynasty who held bows and arrows and swords was even higher than that of the later Emperor Mi.

Although the old Liu family did not have the Second Amendment to the Constitution, the people's right to hold weapons was still supported by most people, including the emperor.

At this time, adding a special class knight is not a big deal.

More importantly, it is also in line with the self-requirements of gentlemen.

The six arts of a gentleman, don't you also want to talk about a royal?

The time has changed, and the royal has become riding, which is reasonable and legal.

"No!" Zhou Yafu and the three of them naturally had no objections, this was a very great order.

The reason is very simple, a family that can afford to raise two horses and can also let one person learn riding is at least a small and medium-sized landlord family, which is the so-called good family.

The favorite of the Han dynasty and the opposition is the good family.

"In addition, in order to encourage scholars to be honorable and martial, learn to ride, I intend to set up a racecourse in Chang'an, and invite the world's heroes to come here to show their skills, and the prime minister will watch it!" Liu Che said while the iron was hot.

Zhou Yafu had no opinion on this, and nodded in agreement.

But Liu Che's heart blossomed with joy.

Another cornucopia, built successfully.

Think about it, the princes and wealthy businessmen can fight for a cockfight, and they can fight each other with a thousand gold.

A heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping race, how much money should they gamble with?
