    Even if those officials killed them, they would kill them, and they would also quarrel with the aristocratic families. In this case, it would be better to send them all to Liuqiu Island. In Li Min's words, it should be called waste utilization.  It is estimated that in the eyes of those officials, this punishment is even more cruel than beheading. After all, in the eyes of most people, Liuqiu Island, across the sea from Lingnan, is naturally a barbaric place where miasma is rampant.  A narrow escape from death would be worse than being stabbed in Chang'an.

    The father and son decided the life and death of more than a dozen people while talking and laughing, which fully demonstrated the terrifying nature of power, but this is also the allure of power, because everyone with ambitions does not  He is willing to let others decide his life and death, so he climbs up desperately in order to one day hold life and death in his own hands.

    After dealing with these people, Li Min asked about the progress of the promotion of various new policies. As a result, he learned from Li Shimin that among the new policies he proposed, only the policy of promoting Champa rice was implemented very smoothly, and it had already been implemented in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.  Many trial sites have been set up, and rice has been planted. I heard that it is growing well. It does grow faster than the original rice species, and it is also very drought-tolerant. As long as the yield is not ridiculously low, it will definitely be promoted on a large scale.  not a problem.

    As for other methods of land replacement and rough planting, they encountered various problems during the promotion process, such as being blocked by officials and not being accepted by the majority of farmers. However, the court had already anticipated these problems before the New Deal was promoted.  Since then, we have not been discouraged and have been increasing publicity and promotion efforts, among which people have signed up for the land swap.  There are already more than 20,000 households, and there are nearly 100,000 people in total. Most of these people go for the ten times the fertile land.

    Compared with the voluntary nature of land replacement, the method of rough planting is very coercive, but this coercion is not imposed by someone or the court, but is forced by the general trend.  As more and more farmers went out to work, and some poor farmers were attracted to Liaodong and Goguryeo by the new policy of land replacement.  As a result, some large households have no one to rent their land. In this case, they don't want the land to become deserted.  They had no choice but to adopt the coarse seeding method promoted by the imperial court, so the promotion of the karma method was much simpler than land replacement.

    After Li Min had a rough understanding of the implementation of several new policies in Datang, he finally felt relieved.  Although various problems have been encountered, on the whole, it has been relatively smooth. Of the four strategies he proposed at the beginning, only the widespread slave capture has not yet been implemented. However, this is not just a matter for the court, he  The Cheng family and other big slave traders are the main executors of this strategy. It seems that they have to discuss it with Cheng Yaojin and other old guys when they have time.

    After talking about the New Deal, Li Min finally had time to bring up the matter of the military academy.  Li Shimin slapped his head after hearing this.  After returning to Chang'an, he was bothered by the affairs of Li Chengqian and Li Tai's two sons, and then worried about the affairs of Western Turks and Gaochang. He actually forgot about such an important matter as the military academy. If it weren't for Li Min  remind.  He really doesn't know when he will remember it?

    "The military academy is related to the inheritance of our country and the country of the Tang Dynasty. My father almost forgot about it. It seems that I am really old!" Li Shimin sighed with a wry smile as he rubbed his swollen temples.

    "Father, your words are serious. You are in your prime, how can you be called an old man?" Li Min hurriedly consoled you.  "Besides, there were too many things going on some time ago, and the treasury is empty. It's really not a good time to open a military academy."

    After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, patted Li Min on the shoulder and said: "What Liu Lang said is true. If the military academy is not established, it will be fine. Once it is established, it must be done in a good way. In this way, it will definitely cost a lot. It just so happens that you have to pay for it to the treasury."  With so much income coming in, plus nothing major happening during this period, it¡¯s a good time to open a military academy!¡±

    Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Min also breathed a sigh of relief.  However, Li Shimin was obviously impatient. After walking back and forth in the palace twice, he immediately sent someone to call Li Jing and Li Xiaogong over.  The two of them are rare handsome men, but because of their great achievements, they were relieved of their military power to avoid suspicion. It would be a pity to stay at home all day long, and the military academy is a good place for the two of them to use their remaining talents.

    When Li Jing and Li Xiaogong hurried over, before they could take a breath, Li Shimin eagerly told them about the idea of ??the General Academy.  Li Xiaogong was not surprised after hearing this, because his son Li Yong had already told him about the military academy, so he was mentally prepared for it. Moreover, he had been staying at home for so many years, which made him feel like he was going to be useless. Now he could have a place to go to school.  It was in line with his wish to show his talents, so he immediately praised him loudly and expressed his full support and willingness to enter the military academy to teach what he had learned.

    Compared with Li Xiaogong, who was well prepared, this was the first time Li Jing heard about the military academy. Therefore, after hearing this, he weighed it carefully in his mind and considered the impact that the appearance of the military academy would have on all aspects. After a while,  Then he took a long breath, with a determined look on his face.?Li Shimin said: "Your Majesty, the military academy is related to the inheritance of our Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations. Even if the veteran is a mess, he must run the military academy!"

    "Okay!" When Li Shimin saw the two veterans expressing their opinions, he stood up excitedly. He turned around the table and walked to the two of them. He patted each other's shoulders with both hands and said sincerely: "Brother Yao, cousin,  Back then, the two of you fought bloody battles on the battlefield and helped me conquer the Tang Dynasty. Today, I have full authority over the affairs of the General Academy. I believe that with the joint efforts of the two of you, we will definitely be able to secure our country in the Tang Dynasty.  An everlasting foundation!¡±

    "I will fight to the death!" The two gray-haired old men were also moved and saluted together with clasped fists.

    Li Min waited patiently for the three monarchs and ministers to finish their performance, and then Li Shimin finally got to the point and began to discuss the details of opening a military academy. Li Min had already discussed this with Li Shimin when they were in Pyongyang City, but Li Xiaogong and Li Jing  After listening to this, a veteran who had spent half his life in Shuicheng put forward many suggestions of his own to complete the details of the entire military academy.

    The two military bosses agreed to the school's plan, and the details had been discussed. The next thing was much simpler. Li Shimin issued an order on the spot, appointing Li Xiaogong and Li Jing as the vice principals of the military school, while he himself took the post.  The principal of Datang Military Academy, as for Li Min, the proposer of the idea of ??the military academy, was only temporarily appointed as the superintendent of the military academy. In addition to being responsible for the construction of the military academy site, he also had to obey the orders of two vice-principals. Any problems had to be dealt with by  He was responsible for solving the problem. To put it bluntly, he was just an errand boy and a coolie.

    Naturally, Li Min didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with this. Li Xiaogong and Li Jing were both elders, and they were both so old. Of course, the hard work and hard work belonged to him, a young man. Besides, he was not stupid. If there was anything  When the time comes, he can leave things to others. He has always regarded this as his code of conduct.

    After being appointed, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing held a small meeting with Li Min. The three temporarily assigned their respective tasks. Among them, Li Xiaogong was responsible for contacting various veteran generals who had retired from the army and convincing them to teach in the military academy. This was an important task.  For such an important task, the quality of teaching in the military academy will all depend on those veterans in the future.

    As for Li Jing being responsible for the source of students, students in military academies naturally cannot be recruited directly from the private sector like those in academies.  Instead, they must be selected from the army.  Li Min and Li Shimin had already discussed this issue when they were in Pyongyang. The students of the military academy were first selected from the soldiers who had made meritorious service on the battlefield of Goguryeo, and then from the Tang army's young soldiers who had outstanding performance and potential for development.  The number of students for the first phase is initially set at around 2,000.

    Although Li Jing retired, he still serves as Li Shimin's military adviser and is very familiar with the affairs of the army, so it is appropriate for him to be selected by the army.  In addition to selecting students, Li Jing is also responsible for formulating the relevant disciplines and regulations of the military academy. Even the arrangement of courses must be roughly planned in advance. All the tasks combined are not an easy task.

    As for Li Min, he is responsible for more aspects. The most important thing is naturally the selection and construction of the military academy site. This was ordered by Li Shimin and cannot be pushed away. In addition, he also has to deal with Li Xiaogong and Li Jing.  For example, if some stubborn veterans are unwilling to take action, Li Min will rely on his good popularity to start with the younger members of the other party's family and help Li Xiaogong to act as a lobbyist.

    In addition, Li Jing was responsible for the military discipline of the military academy, as well as the military academy curriculum, and Li Min was also involved. Although he was a novice in the military, he often put forward many constructive suggestions based on his later experience.  Li Jing also valued this aspect of him, so he strongly asked him to help him.  In fact, this was exactly what Li Min wanted, so despite the heavy burden on him, he resolutely agreed.

    After the meeting, Li Min immediately went to find Yu Wenhu who had just returned from Dengzhou.  After the Battle of Goguryeo, Yu Wenhu did not come back immediately because the Perak Academy in Dengzhou had just been built not long ago and there were still some problems in various aspects, so he had to stay there to deal with them.

    In addition, because Li Yong went to the battlefield, he, as his brother-in-law, helped a lot. Therefore, he was afraid that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would blame him, so he hid in Dengzhou to avoid the limelight. It was not until Li Yong returned to Chang'an that he learned that Li Xiaogong did not  I was angry about this, so I hurried back from Dengzhou. However, Li Xiaogong, the father-in-law, was not angry, but Princess Hejian, the mother-in-law, was not so generous. I heard that Yu Wenhu and his wife were called over and scolded.

    Li Min was greatly relieved when he heard the news. If it hadn't been for Yu Wenhu, Li Yong would not have gone to the battlefield, and he would not have been severely criticized by Princess Hejian last time.

    But when Yu Wenhu heard Li Min¡¯s request to build a military academy, he frowned, and thenHe said something that made Li Min dumbfounded.
