I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 495: Double Pun

"I obey your order." Qin Jiansheng replied immediately.

"Your Highness."

"After four years in total, our Tang Dynasty's policy of nationalizing land has been completely accomplished."

"All the good farmland in the country shall be nationalized."

"And in accordance with your highness's order, we will distribute good farmland to the people and replace rent with taxes. Now that it is being implemented nationwide, every citizen of the Tang Dynasty will have land to farm." Qin Jiansheng said again.

"In the early years of my Zhenguan reign, everyone had good farmland to cultivate, but later, the land was annexed by the rich and powerful. It took my court ten years to recover all the good farmland. You can imagine how much hardship it took, how much manpower it cost, and how many casualties it caused.

"From now on."

"I will formulate a national policy."

“Land is state-owned and cannot be traded.”

"If anyone trades good land privately, he will be punished in middle age."

"This is our national policy and we will announce it to the world."

Li Zheng issued an order with a serious face.

"We obey your orders." All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

They were naturally not surprised at how much Li Zheng valued fertile land, and the extent to which these severe punishment national policies were issued.

If anyone really dares to defy the will of the world, Li Zheng will never let them go.

Four years of hardship.

Now that he has accomplished his goal, Li Zheng will never allow anyone to ruin him again.

The meeting continues.

After Li Zheng returned.

He directly promoted the implementation of many national policies with his strong power. All officials submitted reports, and Li Zheng directly reviewed them in court.

Most of the day passed like this.

Wait until the meeting is over.

The father and son were strolling in the palace. Wang De and Wang Hao followed from a distance and did not get close. Naturally, they did not dare to disturb the conversation between the father and son who had not seen each other for more than a year.

"Tell me about it."

"How many enemies were killed in this battle?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Father, please guess first."

"The four tribes in the northern border mobilized a total of more than 600,000 troops. You should have killed half of them."

"The numbers reported by the Ministry of War are about the same." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

"The figures reported by the Ministry of War are only rough."

"This battle."

"The total number of enemies killed by the Tang Dynasty is more than 400,000."

"More than half a million soldiers were captured."

"of course."

"Under this outcome, our Tang soldiers also suffered considerable casualties."

"Foreign soldiers are not rabbits. They will bite if they are cornered."

"Youzhou, Jinyang, and him, the three prefectures had a total of more than 500,000 troops. More than 70,000 died for the country, and more than 80,000 were injured."

"this number."

"This is unprecedented in our Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng sighed.

As the one who directly commanded the troops in the northern border, he was naturally aware of the casualties caused by this battle.

And it’s facing it directly.

He was commanding the troops personally, so there was no need to hide the casualty figures.

Concealing the truth is equivalent to depriving the soldiers who died for their country of their pensions. Li Zheng would never do such a shameless thing.

"We will fight to gain eternal peace in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty."

"worth."

"Let's write about the soldiers who died in battle. They are worthy of being the soldiers of our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said solemnly.

"This time, I will personally take care of the relief."

"People are too greedy. I would feel uneasy if I don't do it myself," said Li Zheng.

"Go do it."

"I have repeatedly stressed the matter of compensation, but some people, Master, took the chance and embezzled the money of soldiers who died in battle for the country."

"If we find one, we will immediately exterminate the entire clan."

"Shock the world." Li Shimin said coldly.

at this point.

He and his son had exactly the same idea.

When dealing with corrupt officials, only killing can deter them.

"The leaders of the four tribes in the northern border have been captured." "Father, how do you plan to deal with them?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

"This is your trophy, you can do with it as you wish."

"Anyway..."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng deeply and said meaningfully, "I won't be able to sit in this position for long."

In a word.

Double entendre.

"Father, why do you always say this?"

"I've already said it, as long as I'm here, it's a basic requirement for you to live a long life."

"Haven't you heard people outside saying that your son is the reincarnation of a god?" Li Zheng said with a straight face and unhappily.

Li Shimin laughed heartily, "Hahaha, it's good to be a reincarnated immortal. Perhaps I really have the blessing of God, as I have a son who is a reincarnated immortal."

"This life is enough for me."

Looking at Li Shimin's happy expression, it was not just lip service, but truly came from the heart.

In this regard.

Li Zheng also understood.

When his father knew his identity, that feeling was very touching to him.

There is nothing more surprising than finding something you lost.

For Li Shimin, Li Zheng's appearance in front of him was like regaining what he had lost.

"Come on."

"Don't be so emotional."

"It's less than a month until your old age."

"I will give you a surprise when the time comes, and I guarantee you will be happy." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"It's been so long, what exactly do you want to give me? It's so mysterious, couldn't you tell me in advance?" Li Shimin said helplessly.

Seeing his father's anxious and curious look, Li Zheng looked very proud: "He has been staring at me for so long, and he won't wait for more than a month. Just guess slowly in your heart. I, your son, will go back to the East Palace to find Wan'er and the others first."

talking.

Li Zheng waved his hand and turned away.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Li Shimin would ask further questions.

"That stinky boy."

Looking at Li Zheng's back as he ran away quickly, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

At this time.

Wang De walked up quickly.

"emperor."

"The six ministers and dukes are already waiting in the council hall." Wang De said respectfully.

"Everyone's here."

"It's time to make some arrangements." Li Shimin smiled slightly. Looking at the seriousness on his face, it seemed that he was about to make a decision.

In the political hall.

The six ministers, vice ministers, and many dukes were waiting in the hall.

There were more than a dozen people, all of whom were powerful officials of the current dynasty.

"The emperor has arrived." Wang De came outside the hall and shouted loudly.

"Everyone is free of charge."

Li Shimin waved his hand, walked slowly to the dragon throne and sat down.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" Li Shimin asked his ministers.

"I don't know."

All the ministers looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

The court meeting had just ended.

All the matters to be discussed had already been decided at the court meeting, so they really had no idea what they were being called to do at this moment.

"I will be fifty soon. I am old."

"honestly."

"I spent the first half of my life in the military, and I never thought I would live to be fifty."

"My life is worth it."

"In the end, he wiped it off, and let my son return to his side. He was lost and found again. God has been kind to me, Li Shimin. Naturally, I have no other desires."

"This time my son wants to celebrate my birthday and also said he wants to give me a big gift."

"In fact, I don't care whether it's a great gift or not. What I care about is whether my son can completely take over the Tang Dynasty in my hands."
