A strong country has a way of playing, and a weak country has a way of playing.
With this kind of strategy that consumes national power, whoever has the strongest national power will always have the last laugh!
Li Xiang once again increased the establishment by 200,000 to the originally planned establishment! All of this was to stimulate the princes in the world. If all the princes in the world are in danger, they will inevitably expand their army along with them!
As a result, under the pressure of huge armaments, the national power among the major princes will not only be difficult to become stronger, but may also be frustrated step by step.
Moreover, in fact, Li Xiang's newly expanded 200,000 troops are not actual numbers. On the surface, he further expanded the 200,000 troops in response to the propaganda of the princes of the world, but in fact, his troops are still the same.
On the surface, it is said to have expanded 200,000 troops, but in fact, while expanding this part of the troops, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army will be further reduced step by step, and the old and weak in the army will be replaced by the newly recruited strong ones.
Sick and disabled, although on the surface the total number of troops has not changed, the combat strength has not necessarily changed.
Therefore, Li Xiang plans to play tricks on the princes of the world again.
In the end, it seems that there are more troops and the military strength has become stronger, but if you have the ability, you can always maintain such a huge military strength. The Soviet Union during the Cold War is the best lesson!
……………………
With the end of the Central Plains War, all the forces in the world, except for Li Tang, Yuan Meng, and You Qin, seemed to have entered a state of recuperation almost at the same time.
It's just that the various forces are making every effort to recruit troops, which seems to be secretly indicating something!
This year's grain harvest has been bumper again. The grain reports sent to Luoyang these days are less than usual, but Li Xiang is not idle, but is busier than usual.
After the establishment of the New Dynasty and the establishment of the six-bu system, Li Xiang successively established book societies in various places.
Although improved papermaking and movable type printing had already appeared, the people at the bottom had trouble even eating, let alone reading. Therefore, the emergence of a large number of cheap books did give the upper and lower classes a channel for circulation.
, but the effect is limited for a long time.
This is why, among the several imperial examinations held by Li Xiang, children from aristocratic families still account for the absolute majority. Children from poor families or ordinary people are actually still very few, and quite a few are system figures.
The emergence of book clubs is to provide these students who cannot afford books with a channel to read books for free. Especially those ordinary people who are interested in reading, book clubs are mainly built for them, and only they need it.
Other social classes, whether they are from aristocratic families or wealthy people, are all those who are not short of small money. Even if they are from a poor family, they are not the lower class people. They are just aristocratic families who have fallen into poverty. Compared with the low-class people, they don't know how much taller they are.
hundred times.
Under the promotion of the book club, ordinary people became interested in books, which greatly promoted the popularization of culture, which made them grateful to the emperor and sang praises.
Even if the book club is launched, only a very small number of ordinary people will really benefit. However, the base of ordinary people cannot stand it. This is the class that balances the power of aristocratic families. As for using poor families to balance aristocratic families, that is just ridiculous.
Well, poor families are originally part of aristocratic families, and they will rejoin the ranks of aristocratic families when they develop.
But ordinary people are different. Even if they become officials, or even become high officials, they are not considered aristocratic families. An aristocratic family does not mean that someone becomes a high official, but is created by the heritage of several generations.
For ordinary people to pass the imperial examination and develop into a wealthy family step by step, it will take several generations! And in the meantime, who knows what variables will happen?
Although the ordinary people will not be able to impact the power of the aristocratic family in the court in a short period of time, it will inevitably weaken the power of the aristocratic family in the court bit by bit. The accumulated results after hundreds of years will be very terrifying.
While the book club was being established, the Ministry of Industry was not idle either, and the two projects of Lingyan Pavilion and Zhonghun Temple were also put on the schedule.
Lingyan Pavilion, this has the same effect as the Lingyan Pavilion in history, but the number of people is expanded. There are four floors, the second floor and the first floor, divided into 36 meritorious officials in the upper part and 72 meritorious officials in the lower part.
The third floor contains the twelve top founding heroes. So far, only the statues of Li Jing, Wang Meng and Guan Zhong have been confirmed to be able to enter the third floor. Even Zhang Liang is only on the second floor for the time being. In the future, he will be able to enter the third floor.
It is still unknown whether he will be able to reach the third level.
Needless to say, Li Jing is the first person to have contributed most to the military.
Wang Meng, the earliest minister who followed the dragon, had his plans for all sizes of the Jin army. He was a general and prime minister, who not only ensured logistics but also had military merit.
Guan Zhong, although his qualifications are not as good as Wang Meng's, he is the biggest contributor to Li Xiang's every expedition to the north and south. His role in logistics support is still higher than that of Wang Meng. Without Guan Zhong, how could Li Xiang dare to make hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Large-scale wars come again and again?
Even every post-war military recovery and organizational planning was led by Guan Zhong, and the governors of various states cooperated in the implementation. The amount of military recruitment planning each state was responsible for was the result of Guan Zhong's careful calculation.
Although Zhang Liang proposed a strategic plan of first going south and then north, taking Jing and Shu, and then sweeping the world, he was far from being able to compare with these three people. After all, the world was not at peace, and his plan had not yet been successful.
As for the uppermost layer, it is naturally the statue of Li Xiang.
Many people are struggling in this troubled world, and why? Even if it only accounts for a part of the proportion, the reason for leaving a name in history is definitely a part that must be mentioned!
The existence of Lingyan Pavilion just gives them the best channel to leave their names in history. Anyone who can enter here will not be able to pass it alone in the history books a hundred years later? Therefore, in the end, it must be the effectiveness of civil and military forces, and the full strength of
Bring peace to the world.
Chunghun Shrine, as you can tell from its name, it is for worshiping the dead!
Those who have achieved a certain degree of merit can enter the Loyalty Soul Shrine after their death and enjoy the incense and worship of future generations.
On the one hand, it is another way to leave a name in the history of the civil and military sect under his command, forming an incentive effect. After all, this place does not require death in battle. As long as the merit is enough, even if it is a normal death, it will be a hundred years later.
Enter this place.
Secondly, the establishment of such a place itself is to promote the word loyalty. Every loyal soul is an example for future generations and a benchmark for future generations who come to worship. The establishment of the Loyal Soul Temple is not to strengthen
