Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

All the generals present nodded. What Li Ke said, as generals who have been on the battlefield, they all know that what Li Ke said is true, but this also makes them a little curious, because His Royal Highness King Qin has never been on the battlefield. ah.

But in the past, let alone whether anyone paid attention to it, even the soldiers themselves were unwilling to shave their hair, but His Royal Highness King Qin was willing to lead by example. No wonder the morale of these soldiers was so high. kill!

Li Shimin's expression was somewhat strange, to be honest, he didn't believe it.

But with so many people here, Li Shimin can't slap his son in the face, and Li Shimin can understand what Li Ke said. When the army is fighting, there is often no time to wash your hair.

And if you don't wash your hair for a long time, it is indeed itchy sometimes, even generals like him, needless to say, the soldiers at the bottom must also be like this.

Over time, it is indeed easy to affect morale.

It can be seen that he has indeed considered all these considerations. In order to let these soldiers shave their hair, he has indeed paid a lot, and this training effect, Li Shimin's heart is moved. If the sixteen guards of Chang'an are trained like this, then Coupled with training in combat fighting, wouldn't the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty be invincible?

Didn't you see Cheng Yaojin and the others already wish Li Ke could help them train now?Don't look at these veterans who are usually generous, but they all have amazing intuitions about things on the battlefield.

Whether many things are useful or not, these generals who have been on the battlefield have the most say.

Seeing his father start to ponder, Li Ke felt a sudden shock in his heart, no way, father, are you looking for something for me again? !This is very possible!

"Father, do you want to take a look at the barracks?" Li Ke hurriedly interrupted Li Shimin's thinking, and said quickly.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Li Shimin, who had regained his senses, nodded and spoke simply.

"Continue training." Li Ke said to Liu Yilong.

"Yes!"

Liu Yilong went to arrange for continued training, while Li Ke led Li Shimin and the others into the barracks.

When they entered the barracks, everyone froze for a moment.

The barracks are too clean!Although the ground is still soil and the bed is also made of wood, the soil on the ground has been compacted without any floating soil.The linen sheets on each bed were pulled neatly and washed clean, the focus was on the quilt placed on top of the sheets.

They are actually arranged one by one like neat tofu cubes!The edges and corners are clear and neatly placed there, pillows, wooden washbasins, etc. are all placed in a uniform position.

After you come in, you can't see any superfluous things here. Although the environment here is not good, it looks pleasing to the eye.

"This is my housekeeping regulation."

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? As a soldier, you have to act upright and sit upright, and you must do housework. It can strengthen the discipline of soldiers and improve their combat effectiveness. Only by implementing unified standards for a long time can we It is very important to implement orders and prohibitions!" Li Ke said seriously.

Li Shimin and all the generals were completely silent looking at the scene in front of them, which completely exceeded their imagination.

"Good job! These things, whatever you need, just mention them. For those that can improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the Tang court will definitely support it." Li Shimin said.

"The results of this training have not been fully demonstrated. It is too early to talk about anything now, and these are all step by step. There is no rush." ​​Li Ke shook his head quickly and said, if he agrees to this, Lao Li may have something new arrange it.

"At that time, I still have some things to report to my father." Li Ke hastily added.

Glancing at Li Ke, Li Shimin nodded. He knew that Li Ke must have something to say. Since he didn't say it face to face, it must be the content in the "21 Articles" he submitted. It is definitely not suitable for the court to know at the moment. .

After nodding his head, Li Shimin didn't say much.

"Have you heard about the commercial activities around Chang'an City?" Li Shimin raised a topic that he didn't want to do.

"Of course, although I am training soldiers, I am also responsible for the construction of the Nightless City of the Tang Dynasty. I have a heavy task." Li Ke quickly hinted to Li Shimin, I am so tired, so don't make trouble for me up.

"Really? If I remember correctly, Li Yan seems to be in charge of Datang Everbright City?" Li Shimin squinted at Li Ke.

"She's just an assistant, an assistant." Li Ke nodded quickly, what a joke, can Li Yan be in charge of the construction of Datang City that Never Sleeps?Of course not, without my order to start building the city, how would she be responsible?

Of course, Li Ke admits that Li Yan has rich experience in the construction of Chihai City in the Western Regions, and Li Yan's strength in overall planning and scheduling. She is indeed doing these specific and meticulous tasks, but it is also very important for him to coordinate the overall situation. Bar!

"Okay, tell me, what are you going to do around Chang'an City?" Li Shimin looked at him and asked.

"Let the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry investigate all commercial activities in Chang'an City. For example, the goods entering Chang'an through the canal must be unloaded at the wharf. Erchen can ask people to expand and build two large wharves on the Weihe River to assist in the transfer. Due to the pressure of the canal, some goods can be directly unloaded at the Weihe wharf, and then transferred by land to avoid too many ships in the canal.”

"These goods can be counted when they enter Chang'an City. In addition, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for supervising the prices of Chang'an City. We cannot allow Chang'an's important livelihood materials, such as grain and salt, to experience large-scale price fluctuations. During this period, we dare to live with rare goods. Those who copy high prices will be killed!" Li Ke said with a stern expression.

He believes that Li Shimin will not soften his heart. The population in Chang'an City is increasing. Once the food supply fluctuates, if someone deliberately hoards food and causes public resentment, Li Shimin will definitely dare to use the knife.

"After counting these goods, in fact, according to the total amount of goods entering Chang'an City, it is possible to roughly calculate the annual trade volume of Chang'an City's commerce. These statistical data are conducive to the later work of commercial tax collection. As long as Datang's business expands to a certain extent, the agricultural tax can be reduced." Li Ke lightly threw a bomb.

A look of astonishment flashed across the faces of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and all other ministers, but they quickly returned to calm, and they were all steady.

Commercial tax... Is this His Highness deliberately throwing it out to let them find a way to target it?
