But after experiencing a disastrous defeat, the generals who stood up to face the battlefield again are more worthy of pride. After experiencing and reflecting on it, what they face again is not only the battlefield, but also life.
Whether it is the generals of the Tang Dynasty or the historians of the Tang Dynasty.
Who can say that the Tang Dynasty's counterattack against the Turks was not amazing enough. The first battle stabilized the north of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuanxing was the commander-in-chief, but there was another important person above Li Yuanxing, or he was Li Yuanxing's teacher, or this person was secretly helping Li Yuanxing
.Qin King Li Yuanxing is a talented person, a genius, but he is not a professional soldier.
Cabinet Master, the old man who has always been called Cabinet Master by Li Yuanxing.
In the records of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang clan, there is Qin general Li Xin, the ancestor of the Li family. He was defeated in the battle against Chu, but he was not depressed by it. After participating in several subsequent wars to destroy the country in the Qin Empire, he returned to seclusion.
The ancestor of the Li family was inspired by Li Er's moral respect and ranked among the immortals.
Because he is a low-level immortal, he has a thousand years of life.
The name is recorded in the Tang Dynasty royal family list, the Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin!
The cabinet master and Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty entered the city of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty hand in hand. Hundreds of officials came out to welcome him, and hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets to greet him.
Chang'an, the new imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty named Chang'an Palace after the city of Chang'an. It means long-term peace and stability! Qin is the virtue of water, which is black! Tang is the virtue of earth, which is yellow. That is to say, in the Tang Dynasty, bright yellow
It became royal orthodoxy. The main color in front of the palace is also bright yellow, as well as bright red, which is the favorite color of Tang Dynasty men.
The main entrance of Chang'an Palace only has doorposts, but no door.
This is a palace that is completely different from the ancient palaces. It has no doors, no walls, and no guards.
In front of the palace gate, there was a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heavens. Li Er held the Tang rituals, and the cabinet master held the Qin rituals. The opinion of the Ministry of Rites was that offering sacrifices to the heavens was an announcement to the gods of heaven and earth. The Emperor Xian was originally from Qin, so he was not familiar with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Li is also suitable, just get used to Tang Li slowly in the future.
After the sacrifice, there are gifts from all over the world.
As the head of the family, the Seventh Family, together with the famous celebrities from Chang'an, the Chief of the Liu family and the Chief of the Yan family, offer nine gifts!
The nine gifts are: a plate of cotton, a bunch of rice, a bunch of hemp, four dried fish, a handful of salt, a walking stick with mulberry branches, four taels of mutton, a ginseng, and a bowl of gold ore grains!
They respectively represent the most important parts of people's lives, clothing, food, higher-end clothes, food, and better and better lives, symbolizing the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty.
The cabinet master accepted the gifts one by one.
Li Er said loudly at this time: "The Tang Dynasty is rich, starting today. The King of Qin said: The Heroic Mother Order is issued!"
A word award! It represents the official implementation of this heroic mother order. On October 18th, the second year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the heroic mother regulations were officially launched in the Tang Dynasty.
The content can be summed up in two simple sentences: more children, more rewards, and families with more children will be tax-free!
One of the most amazing clauses was one that even Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao had to express their admiration for. Based on the imbalance of income among the twelve tracts in the world, the Ministry of Household Affairs changed the threshold to a household-based unit. The lowest per capita household
A monthly income of two hundred cents is tax-free. Currently, only the newly occupied areas of Goguryeo in Liaodong Province enjoy this minimum regulation.
The highest tax starting point is Chang'an City, and the per capita monthly household tax is always tax-free.
If there are two people in a family, your marriage means a separate household. Unless there are no more brothers in your family, then your parents will merge into one household with you. In other words, if there are many brothers in the family, and there are five brothers, it is not
If a household is divided, it will be calculated as five households, and the per capita income will be lower than usual and no tax will be levied.
If there are only two people, husband and wife, and no children, the calculation will be based on three people in the first year. In the following year, if you have no children, the calculation will be based on two people.
Therefore, after the capitation tax and land tax are reduced or reduced, income tax will be paid on a household basis.
Ordinary farmers are almost completely exempt, but in the Cui family, for example, Cui Junsu, even if the tax deduction for serving as an official and his meritorious service are all deducted, his own small family will have to pay at least 100% of the tax every month.
A tax of dozens of dollars.
At present, the Tang Dynasty pays the most taxes. Apart from businessmen, the one who pays the most taxes among formal officials and common people is Li Jing.
His son started a family alone, and he is not considered an old man while he is still an official. Therefore, he is an independent household, with only him and Fu Nu. Unlike Cui Junsu's family, there are so many servants to pay and so many slaves to calculate expenses.
Therefore, the per capita income of Li Jing and his wife is ten times that of Cui Junsu, and Li Jing pays more than 200 yuan in taxes a month.
It’s almost 3.5% of Li Jing’s monthly income.
The only income that officials did not have to pay taxes was rewards, including rewards from royal documents.
For the Tang Dynasty, officials and businessmen paid grain and paid taxes together. This change was a compliment to the times and a symbol of social progress. The most important thing is that it will no longer be due to the enclosure and monopoly of big businessmen, big landowners, and big bureaucrats.
It displaces the people and leaves the country with no tax revenue.
This is a good way to consolidate the country forever.
Li Erzai helped Li Yuanxing implement this brand-new system at all costs. Even if Li Yuanxing promised huge benefits to the family, he didn't care. Compared with the government and businessmen paying grain and paying taxes together, no matter how much profit is made in front of him,
, what the Li royal family gained was a millennium of benefits.
After the people presented their gifts, next came the civil servant representatives.
The four great masters of Yu, Liu, Yan, and Du, as well as nearly a hundred outstanding celebrities of the Tang Dynasty, with superb calligraphy, painting, and literary talents, joined forces to present a giant painting ten feet long.
"Picture of Chang'an in the Golden Age"
Today's gift is dedicated to the royal family, not just to the cabinet master.
Seeing this picture, the cabinet master was shocked. This picture is no less than the picture of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. It depicts the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City, with the Lemin Garden Pond as the center. The characters are thousands of years old, including hawkers and people.
Children, there are also envoys from various countries.
The cabinet master was shocked, but Li Er was ecstatic.
As an emperor, how could he not like his own prosperous world?
After the civil servants came the military commanders.
The first person to appear was naked from the waist up, with dozens of wounds on his body, and one that was obviously bitten by a very ferocious beast. The hair style on his head was not that of the Tang Dynasty, but looked a bit like a Jurchen.
"The last general, the Blackwater Mohe clan, was valued by His Highness the King of Qin. He was transferred to the Prince of Qin's Palace and given the surname Li. He is currently the commander of the third battalion of the Dandong Navy of the Tang Dynasty, General Zhonglang. Today, he was blessed by the Holy One and was the first to come to present a gift." A rough voice said.
After speaking in a rough voice, the Lieutenant Commander surnamed Li waved his hand back: "Here, bring it up!"
A shark, a large shark about six meters long. Neither the cabinet master nor Li Yuanxing are shark experts, and they cannot distinguish the specific classification of this shark.
But the body is six meters long, and the three rows of teeth are like sharp blades that make people shudder!
"The general observed the dragon in the sea for seven days and figured out its habits and attack methods. The general put iron thorns on his wrists and ankles. He used bloody mutton to lure out one and fought it in the sea.
After half an hour, I finally killed him. I came here as a gift!"
Humans! And sharks. Fight hand-to-hand in the sea!
Li Yuanxing really suspected that he had heard wrongly. He had originally heard that there were people in the Tang Dynasty who were martial arts and would fight tigers and bears in the mountains, but Li Yuanxing did not even dare to think about fighting sharks in the water, because sharks are the overlords in the water.
Hahaha!
A burst of hearty laughter came from behind, but Lao Cheng ran in carrying several people and a black bear.
He shouted from a distance: "Wu Lang, Lao Cheng said you should promote this boy. Fighting in the water is not easy. I saw this shark when I was on a boat. It broke the wood of the bowl with one bite."
The fishermen who go out to sea in small boats are like putting themselves in a basin to deliver food to the sea dragon."
Promotion? Li Yuanxing had an unnoticed smile on his face. He knew that Li Er, the cabinet master, the people of the world, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty were all looking at him.
The cabinet master is also observing how Li Yuanxing becomes the King of Qin.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "It's a reward, but it's okay to be promoted to captain at the level of a soldier based on personal bravery. At the level of a general, in addition to bravery, there is also the ability to command. So my reward is to give him a commission."
As for the opportunity of being a pioneer, as for whether he can achieve military exploits, let’s rely on his personal ability and bravery to fight!”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Fairness, Wu Lang's treatment is fair. If everyone gets promoted based on their bravery, then Lao Cheng will go to the army. Besides, if everyone goes to these tough guys to fight for their lives, there will be an accident. I am still in Datang
Is there any general left?"
Lao Cheng's words seemed to have been taught by someone, and he would not have been able to say such things.
Li Er and Li Yuanxing looked at each other and said almost at the same time: "Pharmacist!"
"Xian Huang, I, Old Cheng, killed the bear with my own hands. Even the knife was useless. With just these fists, there were stones and sticks in the forest. It was a fierce battle day and night. Listen to Old Cheng tell it slowly!" Old Cheng turned around!
I'm afraid I can't tell a story about a demon king fighting a black bear.
"Old Cheng, you dare to show off your little ability. I beheaded the black bear in one round, and Lao Xie shot an arrow from the tiger's eye, but the tiger's skin was not even scratched. Our new minister-in-waiting, give chase.
You have trapped that snow fox to death for hundreds of miles, and you are the worst among them!"
The generals are naturally more sophisticated.
Cheng Zhijie's bear was brought in by someone.
Yuchi Gong was cursing as he walked this way. He carried his bear by himself. The bear weighed several hundred kilograms. Yuchi Gong strode towards the presentation platform with easy steps.
"Heizi, you just have some skills in fighting. You raided the inner city thousands of miles away, and Lao Cheng was the first to do it!"
"In military chess, I bet on a rough stone the size of a cold melon, do you dare!" Yuchi Gong was unconvinced.
Seeing that a quarrel was about to begin, the cabinet master was a little nervous, but Li Er and Li Yuanxing were just laughing and didn't seem to take it seriously.
"Have a banquet, a big bowl of wine!" Li Yuanxing did not try to dissuade him, but instead ordered the banquet.
Li Er also said loudly: "Today, the whole city celebrates together. Each workshop is given a thousand catties of meat and ten thousand catties of vermicelli."
Chang'an City, the whole city is celebrating together. In front of the main hall of the new palace, tables are set up on the square, ready for a banquet. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
