The reduction of the Yulu was carried out smoothly, and Li Xuan, Jia Xu and Li Ru were greatly relieved.

This matter was first proposed by Li Xuan, and then unanimously approved by Jia Xu and Li Ru, and they vigorously promoted this matter.

Li Xuan believed that the current imperial court laws could no longer adapt to the current situation and must be revised. Otherwise, the 300,000 troops of Xiliang will either go south to the Central Plains and conquer the city, so as to alleviate the pressure of grain and grass and the problem of sparse population; or disarmament, thereby reducing the burden of money and food. This is because according to Li Li's requirements, it is necessary not only to supply the needs of the army, but also to vigorously develop agriculture and improve the people's livelihood, and if both are taken into account, it will be difficult to sustain the money and grain stored by Yi Wu for two years at most.

In view of this, Li Li, who had only been concerned about the war, had to shift his energy to money and food, and made great efforts to plan the supply of the Xiliang army.

The military is important, and so is the development of agriculture and the improvement of the people's living conditions. The agricultural affairs of the counties and counties of Xiliang have been abandoned for a long time, and the population has been greatly lost, which directly restricts the development and expansion of the Xiliang army, which is equivalent to tying the feet of the Xiliang army. Without a solid rear foundation, it is like a rootless pinch, and it is difficult to achieve things at all.

In addition, Li Li has a little bit to hide. That is, after the reorganization of the Xiliang Army, it seems that the soldiers are strong and strong, but in fact, the combat power has been greatly reduced, far less than before. The 300,000-strong army is all mixed to form a new army, which will take a long time to run in, and even more needs to be tempered by the fire of war, otherwise it will be difficult to restore the previous combat effectiveness. The reason why Li Li carried out the reorganization was to strengthen his overall control over the army, and he absolutely could not use it in name only.

In the process of reorganization, Li Li actually thought about disarmament, reducing troops and horses, and reducing the pressure on food and salary supply. It's just that the Xiliang soldiers don't look at the loose military discipline. But the individual soldiers are extremely strong, and they are all warriors who have been tested by war, and it would be a pity to lay them off. So Li Li gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, he did not lay off a single soldier, and all of them were incorporated into the new army. In this way, an army of 300,000 was born, and Li Li's troubles followed.

It is easy to expand the army, and it is not difficult to recruit troops, but it is not easy to raise troops. Difficulties.

The first problem to be faced is food, recruiting troops to fight wars, and fighting is money and food.

However, Xiliang is poor! It's not that one city and one place are poor, but that all counties and counties in Xiliang are poor. The poor people are prone to cannibalism.

In addition, Xiliang is still very messy. Rogues are everywhere. The princes were divided. In the past ten years, there has not been a single peaceful day, so much so that the people would rather go up to the mountains to be savages than live by guarding the farmland.

Faced with such a predicament, Li Li is really in trouble at the moment. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep and eat for several days, and he couldn't wait to grab another Yiwu. Then all the difficulties will be solved.

Forced into desperation, Li Li couldn't help but take out the method of raising troops in his mind.

That is, to break the whole into parts, so that the officers and men of each battalion can be self-reliant and seek development on their own. Raise the war with war, raise soldiers with war, and train soldiers with war.

For this reason, Li Li also thought of some rhetoric to persuade Li Xuan, Jia Xu and others. The nomadic people around Chang'an and Liangzhou have always been not engaged in farming, and have relied on grazing and plundering to reproduce for thousands of years, and they have become stronger and stronger. Since all the barbarians can survive, why can't the Xiliang Army? The most important thing is that the Xiliang Army is not without a supply of food and grass at the moment, but it cannot last long.

Since the Xiliang Army needs to run in for the time being, and there is no money and food to supply the army to enter the Central Plains, it is idle anyway, it is better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and delegate the military power to the commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion, let them lead the army alone to fight, and give it a try. Without waiting for the surrounding barbarians to come and plunder the Han Dynasty, the Xiliang army took the initiative to attack and plunder their territory. If it succeeds, it's a surprise; Unsuccessful, and nothing to complain about. Anyway, in the last year or two, the main task of the Xiliang Army is to run in and train the troops, rather than staying in the barracks behind closed doors and practicing hard, it is better to pull the soldiers out to attack the surrounding barbarians.

The left and right are all training, where to practice is not practice!

In this way, Li Li combined the large-scale military training and the reduction of the salary, prompting the generals to gladly accept the order, so that the decree of the reduction of the military was smoothly implemented.

After all, military generals are different from scribes, and they do not attach as much importance to money as to scribes. As long as they can support their families and have no worries about food and clothing, they will pay more attention to the military power in their hands and the display of their own abilities. For generals or soldiers, honor is often greater than money and material enjoyment. They hope to make meritorious achievements, not only to reflect their own abilities and values, but also to be shadowed by their wives and children. As a result, they did not have high requirements for material life, far less than the scribes who would enjoy life, pay attention to clothing, and yearn for luxury and wealth.

Because of this, Li Li combined the memories of his previous life and his own experience to prescribe the right medicine and delegate military power, so as to promote the reduction of financial power. Striking with both fists, hitting the nail on the head, the decree was implemented.

However, for Li Li, this move also has advantages and disadvantages, and he must take certain risks. Delegating military power to the leading generals can easily breed mountains, and even prompt them to support their own troops. Li Li has been mentally prepared for this and has also taken precautions. He believes that delegating military power is precisely an excellent opportunity to test the results of the previous large-scale reorganization of the whole army, and it is also a test for him to recognize and employ people. It is usually difficult to see a person's loyalty, treachery, good and evil, and it is not until he lets him go freely that he can really see his true face.

At this time, it was the period of rest and recuperation of the Xiliang Army, and Li Li had the time and patience to test the ability and loyalty of the generals under his command, find problems, and solve them.

Now is the most chaotic period of the states and counties in the world, no matter who has 20,000 or 30,000 horses in their hands, and then captures a big city, they can divide one side and become a prince all the way. This situation is definitely quite tempting for the Xiliang generals who hold the heroic army. If anyone can't resist the temptation and rebels, Li Li can exterminate him with a flip of his hand to set an example.

Otherwise, when the Central Plains is chased, a certain general in the army suddenly has a problem, which will definitely be a big blow to the Xiliang army, and it will even cause the Xiliang army to suffer a devastating blow.

Prevention is better than delay.

——————————————————

After the military and political deliberations were over, the generals drank heartily in the side hall again, and the feast did not disperse until sunset.

Behind the left of the main hall, Li Li's study.

Li Xuan, Jia Xu and Li Ru came together, and after Li Zhitong, they entered the study.

"Hehehe!" Li Liwei smiled and waved his hand to signal that the three of them did not have to be formal, and sat down at will.

After bowing and saluting, Li Xuan and the three of them were not polite, and sat down separately.

Li Xuan took the lead in reporting: "My lord, my subordinates have a few things that need to be solved urgently, please ask my lord. First, the Lord promised to build Chang'an Taixue and Wuwei Lecture Martial Arts. Boss Cai Yong was very interested in this matter, urging his subordinates to start building every day, and recruiting famous people from all over the world to come and teach. The subordinates still have no clue about this matter and don't know where to start. Second, the martyrs mentioned by the lord are also half-understood by his subordinates, and so far no decree has been formed, and it has not been promulgated to the whole army. Third, the relationship between the lord and Li Dao has been deadlocked, and according to the lord's will, General Li Dao will take over the government affairs of the states in the world in the future. However, now that many government affairs of the DPRK and China are backlogged on the desks of their subordinates, they do not know how to deal with them for a while, and they ask the lord to make it clear. ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled and said to Li Xuan: "The matter of preparing for the establishment of Taixue is actually very simple. The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, and he can directly issue an edict to recruit famous people from all over the world to teach, in order to avoid someone prevaricating and not obeying the edict, the edict can be said to be powerful. The establishment of Taixue is a great thing to leave a name in history, which is related to the prosperity of the country of our Han Dynasty and directly affects the future of future generations. If those famous people did not obey the edict, they could directly issue an edict to explain their deeds to the world, reduce them to commoners, and send them to serve in the wild land of the South China Sea. And once they come by edict, it is up to us to decide what knowledge should be taught, and it must be taught in accordance with the subjects we have assigned. In the near future, I will be writing some bamboo slips, mainly for beginners and secondary school students, which will be used as a teaching subject for beginners and secondary schools.

The edict enshrined Cai Yong as the head of the Tai Academy, leading the prince and the prince, and the position was higher than the three dukes. Taixue will be divided into three phases, namely Beginner, Secondary and Taixue. The semester of the beginning is uncertain, mainly literacy and hyphenation; In middle school, students can learn from hundreds of schools of thought, regardless of subjects, but students must learn to be faithful, benevolent, and understand things, and the semester is four years. Taixue is taught by recruited celebrities and scholars, and the semester is three years. The Taixue school does not need to be built with great difficulty, the Taishi Mansion before Dong Xiangguo's death can be repaired, and then divided into three schools.

Wu Wei lectures on martial arts, I will personally preside over the initial affairs of the school, the school is tentatively located in Longxiang Li Mansion, and two simple school fields will be built outside the city for training purposes, and the commanders of each battalion in the army will serve as teachers. In addition, the edict recruited a group of well-known military generals and famous generals from various states and counties to come to teach, and the methods were similar to those of Taixue. In addition, Tai students can be transferred from middle school to Jiangwutang, and Wu students can also enter Tai Xue, mutual benefit and exchange, hoping to cultivate a group of useful talents for our Xiliang Army in the future.

As for tuition fees and other expenses, Yuan Zhong can set them as high as possible according to the current situation, otherwise the free admission of martyrs' orphans will be meaningless. Don't worry about the lack of students, as our army gradually develops and grows, many powerful gentlemen will naturally set their eyes on us, and there will be more and more students who come uninvited. I am convinced of that.

As for the martyrs proposed by Yuan Zhong, the definition I give is: Anyone who sacrifices his life for the development, strength, prosperity and prosperity of our Xiliang Army is a martyr. At present, the selection of martyrs is limited to the soldiers of the whole army, and when we are truly strong, it will no longer be limited to soldiers, and scribes and ordinary people can also become martyrs.

Zuihou is the problem between me and my uncle, the day after tomorrow I invited my uncle to go to Longxiang Li Mansion to talk, I talked to him in person, hoping to resolve the depression in his heart. In addition, Yuan Zhong doesn't have to pay attention to the government affairs sent by the DPRK and China for now, you just need to handle the government affairs of the two prefectures of Xiliang, and the other states and counties are not within our jurisdiction at all, so we don't have to worry about it. ”

Li Li was able to grasp the three difficult problems raised by Li Xuan, and finished speaking in one breath without pausing in between. Obviously, he has considered these issues for a long time, and it can be said that he has thought deeply and made a decision. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
