Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, young Li Longji's eyes lit up. So he was so powerful?

"Li Longji carried out the reform of the military system. The original government military system was destroyed due to the equalization of land. Farmers fled in large numbers, which affected the supply of troops. Moreover, the phenomenon of soldiers fleeing was also serious. The army's combat effectiveness was low and it could not defeat the Turks at all. Later, mercenary troops were established According to the military system, 120,000 soldiers were recruited from within the pass to serve as guards."

This is what history calls "Chang Cong Su Wei" or "Long March Athletes".

"This system also eliminates the system of government soldiers taking turns to guard the border, so that government soldiers from all over the country do not need to go to the border to endure hardships. And there is no need for mercenaries to concentrate on training their combat effectiveness."

"In addition, Li Longji also did many other things that were beneficial to the military. He issued the "Army Training Edict" and ordered the military towns in the northwest to expand their strength and strengthen training. He appointed Wang Maozhong, the imperial servant, as the internal and external envoy to ensure that The supply of military horses has improved the combat effectiveness of the army. This has enabled the shortage of horses to be replenished in time and improved the combat effectiveness. He also ordered the expansion of the field area to ensure the supply of military food."

"With these military bases, Yingzhou and other places were regained, the Anbei Protectorate was restored, and the Uighurs and other tribes also obediently submitted to the Tang Dynasty, canceling the title of independent separatist regime, and the jurisdiction of the land north of the Great Wall returned to the Tang Dynasty The rise of the Silk Road later also allowed the Tang Dynasty's prestige to be re-established in the Western Regions."

"It was only later that the Jiedushi were established, which certainly stabilized the border. However, the Jiedushi combined the military, civilians, finance, and government into one body and had too much power."

“As for the economy, some tycoons have occupied people’s land and called it ‘foreign land’. They have also turned fleeing farmers into their own private property, evading state taxes on both land and population.

"So Li Longji launched a campaign to inspect land and cover households. He appointed Yu Wenrong as the national envoy to cover up land and encourage farmers. He established ten envoys and judges to encourage farmers to be sent to various places to inspect the hidden land and the farmers who were sheltered. Check it out. All the land was confiscated and distributed to farmers, and the hidden farmers were registered. In this way, the economy increased by several million a year. It not only increased the country's fiscal revenue, but also reduced the pressure on the people and directly promoted the national economy. Prosperity."

"As for culture, the suppression of Buddhism suppressed the phenomenon of monks annexing land and evading taxes. Because monks did not need to perform corvee labor and were tax-free, Li Longji reduced the number of monks and nuns by more than 12,000, and ordered a ban on the construction of new temples. It is prohibited to cast Buddhist statues and copy Buddhist scriptures. It is also prohibited to interact with officials and monks and nuns, blocking the way for some officials to annex land through them, which also indirectly restores the national economy."

"Book construction, academy construction, science and technology, art, painting, music, diplomacy and other aspects also flourished. When it was strong, more than 70 countries had good relations with Tang Tong envoys. In the prosperous Kaiyuan era, all nations came to the dynasty. "

Even Li Shimin was a little excited when he heard the last words "all nations come to court". This is simply the emperor's highest honor.

"It's just that in his later years, Li Longji also committed the same old habit of emperors. He started to get carried away after his achievements, and felt that he was going to enjoy it, so he gradually neglected the government affairs and spent extremely extravagantly. He favored the traitors Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong and others, and his policies He also made a huge mistake. He chose to reuse people like An Lushan and other people outside the Great Wall to stabilize the border. However, the real power in the hands of the Jiedushi was too great, which led to the eight-year Anshi Rebellion."

"What's even more outrageous is that in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, that is, 737 AD, Li Longji's favored concubine Wu Hui slandered and deposed his three sons, namely Prince Li Ying, King of E Li Yao, and King of Guang Li Ju. He also killed common people. He killed three of his own sons at once!"

Young man Li Longji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Upon hearing this, his behavior in his later years was not much better.

Wu Zetian and Li Shimin's eyes also fell on the young Li Longji. This matter sounded quite explosive.

However, Li Shimin did not expect that Xiao Ran would drop another bombshell: "After Concubine Wu Hui died of illness, Li Longji recruited Yang Yuhuan, the son of Concubine Wu Hui and the concubine of the longevity king Li Xuan, into the palace. Li Zhi doted on his little mother before, and Li Longji later Longji kidnapped his daughter-in-law, speaking of which, your family is quite chaotic."

Li Shimin's mouth twitched slightly and he looked at Xiao Ran: "This joke is not funny at all."

"Okay." Xiao Ran spread his hands, "But later on, Li Longji was very extravagant and wasteful. He regarded gold and silk as dung, and rewarded noble pets to their families without limit. In the fourth year of Tianbao, that is, in the month of 745 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Yang Yuhuan as a noble concubine. In order to please the beauty, she liked beautiful clothes, so Li Longji hired more than people to make clothes for her alone. She liked to eat lychees, so he ordered the opening of thousands of roads from Lingnan to the capital Chang'an. Li Gongdao, use fast horses to deliver the lychees to Chang'an. In order to ensure the freshness of the lychees, many horses will die for the trip."

"Then later, Li Linfu, who has a sweet tongue and a sword in his belly, was appointed. This guy was jealous of people who were more knowledgeable than him and framed others behind their backs."

"No, why didn't I know about this at that time?" Young Li Longji asked in confusion.

"Because everyone around you has been bribed by him. As the emperor, every move you make is under his control. In this way, Li Linfu can take various measures at any time to cater to Li Longji. Tianbao Sixth Year, 747 AD In the year, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, rewarded Li Linfu with all the tributes in the world."

When the young man Li Longji heard this, he couldn't help but cover his chest and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"This Li Linfu is really annoying! If I meet him again in the future, I will definitely kill him first."

"That's all. Hurry up and finish the task. It's time for us to leave." Xiao Ran yawned. He was still thinking about his one hundred taels of gold.

The rest is nothing.

Li Shimin personally watched Wu Zetian issue the edict of passing the throne to the court.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know why, but when the old officials in the court saw Li Shimin's appearance, they burst into tears. One by one, they knelt down and shouted "Emperor Taizong".

Those who were loyal to Li Tang burst into tears, automatically thinking that Li Shimin had become a god in heaven. They couldn't bear to see the Tang Dynasty in chaos, so they came down to earth to show themselves as saints.

As for those who had ghosts in their hearts, they were even more frightened. They only dared to kneel down and lower their heads without saying a word.

The young man Li Longji successfully sat on the throne, and the worries in his heart dissipated. He happily poked the jade stone and the task was completed. He determined to do better than Xiao Ran said that he would be better than the Kaiyuan Dynasty. !

After the mission was completed, Li Shimin and Xiao Ran couldn't stay any longer. They said goodbye and went back.

……

Jimo ancient city.

Just two days after coming back and resting, Xiao Ran's jade started to sparkle, and an order application came in from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xiao Ran agreed, and then received Zhu Yuanzhang's request for Xiao Ran to go with him. Xiao Ran himself was cold and still hadn't recovered, so he thought about using Zhu Yuanzhang's intimidation power and the "China" book in his hand. "Five thousand years." There was no problem in solving the problem for future generations, so he refused.

But in the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang applied to come over.

Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly and nodded in agreement: "Uncle, it's true, why don't you just go by yourself?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang arrive, Xiao Ran took a sip of tea and asked, "Uncle, why are you here in person?"
