One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin said: "To teach Confucianism, arithmetic, and history, children need to study in primary school for six years before graduating. The annual tuition fee is Chinese dollars, which is equivalent to the original money."

Empress Dowager Wei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is a good idea to start with children. If this matter can be persisted, I am afraid that within a few generations, all those foreigners will be assimilated into Han people."

Li Xin laughed and said: "Haha, as expected of Queen Mother Wei, she can see my king's intention at a glance. Well, Queen Mother, I will send someone to take you to your place of residence."

After Queen Mother Wei left, Li Xin called Gao Ping and said: "Gao Ping, send someone to keep an eye on Queen Mother Wei and her children. As long as they don't leave Yanjing, there is no need to restrict their movements. Of course, we must pay attention to the Queen Mother's contact with other officials."

Gao Ping cupped his fists and said, "I understand."

After arranging everything, Li Xin sent letters to Liu Qi, Liu Fa, Wu Jie, Qu Duan, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo, Zhe Yanzhi, Zhang Jun, and Ruan Xiaowu, asking Liu Qi to leave Zhao Bingyuan and lead people. People were stationed in Huacheng County, while Liu Qi returned to Yanjing with the remaining troops and horses. The other generals first handed over their troops to the deputy generals, and they all came to Yanjing.

After making arrangements for the generals, Li Xin asked Zhao Liangsi to send envoys to Goryeo, Jin Kingdom, Xia Kingdom, Tubo tribes, Yue Li Dynasty, Japan, Champa, Angkor and other countries to invite them to send people to Li Xin's visit. The coronation ceremony.

The Spring Festival of the fifteenth year of Jianyan came soon, and the generals who received Li Xin's message also came to Yanjing one after another.

After the generals arrived in Yanjing, Li Xin first summoned Liu Fadao at the palace: "Shuai Liu, long time no see."

Liu Fa sighed: "Yes, the last time I saw the prince was nine years ago, and it has been nine years since we were separated. Now the prince has fulfilled his original promise, allowing the old minister to truly see the rise of our Han people."

Li Xin personally handed Liu Fa a cup of hot tea and said: "Liu Shuai also contributed a lot here. Liu Shuai has really worked hard and made great achievements in the northwest over the past few years."

Liu Fa took the tea ceremony and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. In fact, I didn't do anything in the northwest. It's all the soldiers below who are doing their best."

Li Xin said: "Liu Shuai, after the Tang Dynasty is established, Liu Shuai will stay in Yanjing to help me. I plan to establish a brand new organization - the Military Aircraft Department to handle major military matters. I want Liu Shuai to help me." The Commander-in-Chief serves in it, and the Military Aircraft Department will decide whether the country will go to war with other countries in the future."

Liu Fa asked: "Your Majesty, who is composed of this military aircraft department?"

Li Xin explained: "Liu Shuai should know that the military is a major issue for the country. War is fought not only with military power, but also with financial resources and logistics. Therefore, the Military Aircraft Department is composed of the king, Liu Shuai, Shangshu Zuofu, Minister of War and Finance. It is composed of seven people including the Minister of Ministry, the Minister of Transport, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, among whom Liu Shuai came to the Military Aircraft Department as a representative of the army."

Liu Fa stroked his beard and said: "Old minister, I understand. Does the prince dislike me for getting old?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Shuai, I don't dislike you for being old. Looking at the generals in the army now, who has the prestige of Liu Shuai in the army, so Liu Shuai can only serve as the representative of the army. The Military Aircraft Department , the Military Aircraft Department, it would be outrageous if there were no representatives from the military, but to be honest, Liu Shuai, you are about to turn seventy, and it is time to take care of your life. It just so happens that the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department are not important, and it is suitable for you, Liu Shuai, to come. Dry."

Liu Fa nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. However, my lord, when are you going to take action against the Xia Kingdom? I am still waiting to fight Brother Cha again."

Li Xin joked: "To destroy the Xia Kingdom, we can only wait until the Jin Kingdom is destroyed. The King of Jin will destroy him within ten years. Therefore, if Liu Shuai wants to fight against Brother Cha again, he must live well for at least ten more years." .”

Liu Fa smiled and said: "Ten years is just ten years. In ten years, the old minister will only be almost eighty years old."

Li Xin said happily: "Okay, then I will wait for Liu Shuai to lead his army to destroy Xia in ten years."

Liu Fa asked again: "In addition to the Military Aircraft Department, your Majesty, there should be other reform measures for the army."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, since Liu Shuai asked, I will first tell Liu Shuai that in addition to the Military Aircraft Department, I also plan to establish a Metropolitan Governor's Office. From now on, the Ministry of War will be in charge of recruitment, ordnance, logistics and retired soldiers." Regarding the placement and pension of disabled soldiers, the Military Aircraft Department decides whether to go to war. As for the specific methods of fighting and training troops, that is the matter of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Of course, wartime commanders are also dispatched by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the original Privy Council is cancelled."

Liu Fa said thoughtfully: "In other words, the Military Aircraft Department only decides whether to fight, while the Governor's Office decides how to fight."

Li Xin nodded and said: "That's right. People like Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and others will be named or hold positions in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will have a Grand Governor who will be concurrently served by the king, a Governor who will be served by Liu Shuai, and ten Among the deputy governors, there is a deputy governor of the navy, and the promotion and demotion of lieutenants in the army are also under the control of the governor."

Liu Fa asked: "What does this Governor Qian do?"

Li Xin said embarrassedly: "This Governor's job is to assist the Governor in handling matters. Liu Shuai also knows that I have many things to do, and sometimes I may not be able to take care of the affairs of the Governor's house. At this time, I need Liu Shuai to help me." Dealt with it.”

Liu Fa nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

After meeting Liu Fa, Li Xin took his eldest son Li Xiaolong to Yue Fei Mansion. Li Xiaolong has now grown into the captain of a Gonggong II battleship in the Jeju Island Fleet. This time the fleet is on holiday during the Spring Festival, so Li Xiaolong packed up and returned to Yanjing. Visiting relatives.

When they arrived at Yue Fei's mansion, Yue Fei went out to greet him and said, "I didn't know that your lord was coming. I missed you from afar to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Xin smiled and said: "General Yue is serious. I came to see you on a whim today. General Yue, I would like to introduce to you. This is my eldest son Li Xiaolong."

After saying that, Li Xin gave Li Xiaolong a look, and Li Xiaolong stepped forward and said, "Hello, General Yue."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Okay, okay, Your Majesty, please come into the house quickly."

After entering the mansion and sitting down, Li Wa personally brought two cups of tea and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have tea."

Li Xin took the tea and said: "Madam, you are too polite. Please sit down."

Li Xiaolong also said: "Thank you, madam."

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said: "General Yue, I am here today not for official matters, but for private matters." Yue Fei asked: "Your Highness is referring to the marriage between Yue Yun and the princess."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, this is just the first thing that this king has come to do today. Xin Ning has asked this king several times about her marriage. It would be bad to delay it any longer. There is another thing that this king is... I came here for Xiaolong."

Yue Fei said doubtfully: "Your Majesty"

Li Xin said shamelessly: "General Yue, I heard that your eldest daughter An Niang has reached the age of marriage. I wonder if there is a marriage. If not, I will propose to An Niang for Xiaolong."
