Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Yuanji also laughed when he heard what Li Er said.

"Brother, I believe you on this.

Next, you should get ready and come back with me first. It will be a good opportunity for you to see the changes in the Tang Dynasty today.

Also, I have prepared a lot of people for you, and you can bring them here when the time comes.

Although Cheng Zhijie and his men are dead, their families are still here, including Yuchi Gong's family. You can bring them here when the time comes."

After Li Yuanji entered Chang'an, he did not exterminate the families of Yuchi Gong and others. He no longer had to worry about whether these people had other intentions.

Compared to their fathers, these people's abilities are obviously much lower, and the fact that he did not involve his family is already a blessing from heaven for these people, and they should all thank him.

As for letting Li Er take them over, it is because Li Er himself needs people. These younger generations are no longer so loyal to Li Er. Even if Li Er wants to rebel, these people may not follow him. This is the reality.

Li Er was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Yuanji would let him bring these people out together. Thinking of Yuchi Gong and others, he felt even more sad.

But this is the reality, and now he can only reminisce.

"Don't worry, I'll only take a part of them away. Their families will still stay in Chang'an, and they won't have any other ideas. This is my promise!"

In fact, both Li Er and Li Yuanji knew very well that these people must have their own ideas in their minds, but the situation was hopeless and they could only watch their family decline without any resistance.

Once they resist, the whole clan will be wiped out. Even if the aristocratic families had rebelled before, these people did not participate, because they are concerned about the family.

It was precisely because Li Er knew all this that he assured Li Yuanji that Li Yuanji would continue to treat him and the descendants of Yuchi Gong and others in this way. Li Er was already very satisfied.

Li Yuanji nodded. In fact, he didn't care about Li Er's assurance. If something really happened, it would just be a matter of killing again, which was not a difficult task for him.

He only gives these people one chance, and if they don't seize it, he won't give them another chance.

Moreover, whether it is Li Er or his other descendants who go out to open up new territories of the Tang Dynasty in the future, he has made preparations for countermeasures. The army they lead out are all his people.

Due to the limitations of core technology, even many weapons still need to be shipped from the Tang Dynasty. And with the advancement of technology, the gap between local and central areas will become larger and larger.

"I know, I believe in you, second brother.

Now that I've brought this up, I'll talk about other things as well.

At that time, there will be restrictions on the size of your army. No matter how many troops you have, they must be registered and verified with the Ministry of War. If there is a need to expand the army, it must be approved by the court before it can be expanded.

Including taxes collected from local areas, they also need to be transported to the imperial court, and local areas cannot increase taxes privately.

Another thing is education, which is coordinated by the Ministry of Education. Local governments cannot directly manage it, and it cannot be touched.

There are many more. In fact, it seems that you will be free and easy outside, but it is not what you think, second brother. It is not only you, but also other people, it will be the same.

However, the power will not be restricted too much, but there will be some places where you can still make the decisions yourself."

Li Yuanji said a lot, but he didn't finish. He had his own ideas about the rules, which would be formulated one by one later. Giving these people such great power did not mean he would let Li Er do whatever he wanted.

Li Er was also listening quietly. He was not surprised at all. If there were no restrictions when far away from the center, then Li Yuanji would be the one who was really derelict in his duty. Instead, he would remind Li Yuanji.

Sometimes, the necessary rules must be set. This is a restriction on desire. Desire can make people have a greater desire for power. Once they have it and have the strength to do so, rebellion becomes a natural thing.

If it was a restriction on strength before, then what Li Yuanji is talking about now is the restriction on the desire for power, so that people outside can know that the Tang Dynasty can restrain them.

“I know all of this, but you still have to formulate it later and issue it in the form of an imperial edict, which is best.

Sometimes power can be a blinding temptation. If it is not restricted, once people start to think that they can do whatever they want, it is not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty."

"Haha, don't worry, second brother, I will definitely do these things. I'm just telling you now so that you can be mentally prepared.

To be honest, even if the locals rebelled, the Tang Dynasty had the strength to plow them all over again, because the Tang Dynasty had the strength to do so. "

Seeing that Li Er not only listened to everything carefully but also gave him advice in the end, Li Yuanji smiled with relief.

There is no doubt that Li Er's ability is very strong. He did not kill Li Er because it would be a waste if he did not use Li Er's ability.

The two chatted for a long time until night fell. When the lights in the tent came on, Li Er was shocked again.

"What is this? How can it emit such light?"

Li Yuanji looked at Li Er's puzzled and shocked expression and laughed. Shocking Li Er was also a source of happiness for him.

“This is an electric lamp that can emit bright light through electricity to illuminate the night.

In fact, these are already considered basic, and they have been popularized in the big cities of the Tang Dynasty. It’s just that in some remote places, because it’s difficult to transmit long distances with wires, they haven’t been rolled out. In other places, they are basically available.”

Li Yuanji did not explain too much, because even if he did, Li Er would not understand.

During the few years Li Er has been here, he has completely gone off track and is unaware of every aspect of the Tang Dynasty.

Then Li Yuanji told Li Er some other basic things that Li Er had never seen before, which made Li Er amazed again.

After dinner, Li Er went downstairs. He was going to find Li Chengqian and Li Tai to give them instructions. He knew clearly what his son was thinking, and it was time to get rid of those unrealistic ideas.

Inside Li Yuanji's tent, Xie Shufang, Xi Junmai, Songtsen Gampo and Tan Dian were all there.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to kill Li Er? And will you restore his position as King of Qin? What if he rebels in the future?"

Xie Shufang and the others were a little worried. To be honest, this was the first time they saw Li Yuanji handle things this way.

Throughout history, there was no one like Li Er who had been an emperor and had wanted to kill Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji not only let Li Er go, but also gave Li Er such great power. He was the first person in history. Especially Xie Shufang, he was the most puzzled. As Li Yuanji's confidant when he was the King of Qi, he walked out of Chang'an with Li Yuanji in disgrace and went to Lingnan. He was particularly clear about everything they had encountered.

Now Li Yuanji let it go so lightly, Xie Shufang couldn't understand it. Even if Li Er was not killed, he should at least be imprisoned, right?

As a result, Li Yuanji was so confident, but these people were not confident at all.

Li Yuanji looked at the people who looked worried and smiled.

"Rengui, tell me, are you worried?"

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, Xie Shufang and others looked at Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui was not afraid either. He stood up directly with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, if Li Er dares to rebel, I am willing to lead the army to suppress the rebellion!"

Xue Rengui spoke briefly and to the point, and he exuded great confidence, which made Xie Shufang and others look at him sideways.

"Brat, we are still here. If Li Er dares to rebel, we will be the ones to suppress it."

Xie Shufang, Xi Junmai and others looked at Xue Rengui with even greater satisfaction.

Xue Rengui was brought by Li Yuanji from Hedong. He had been in the army for only three years, but his position had been promoted rapidly. This was also due to Xue Rengui's strong abilities. Xie Shufang and others did not say anything.

In addition, since Xue Rengui was a young general favored by Li Yuanji, Xie Shufang and his group were very tolerant of him. However, all this was based on Li Yuanji's liking for him and Xue Rengui's own abilities.

Now that Xue Rengui was so decisive and displayed such strong self-confidence, Xie Shufang and the others liked him more not only for his attitude, but also for the decision he made based on their concerns.

Now that it has been said, several people have realized that this is the truth. Why should they worry about Li Er?
Even if Li Yuanji gave Li Er a chance to live this time, in their opinion, if Li Er dared to rebel, they would lead the army to suppress the rebellion and then kill Li Er directly, wouldn't that be enough?
Now, all of them, even Xie Shufang, are young and strong. Among them, except Xue Rengui, Tan Dian is the oldest, followed by Xie Shufang, and then Xi Junmai and Songtsen Gampo.

Xie Shufang is now nearly forty years old, but he still feels young and strong. He does not feel old at all.

In this era, forty years old is actually considered old and advanced in age, but Xie Shufang didn't feel it at all.

But Xie Shufang didn't know that Li Yuanji would add longevity pills to the rewards he gave to generals such as Xie Shufang, Su Dingfang, and Liu Rengui and give them to them.

Especially the oldest one, Xie Shufang, who took six longevity pills from Li Yuanji, otherwise Xie Shufang would not have such a feeling.

This longevity pill does not restrict Li Yuanji's use to himself, which also allows Li Yuanji to give these people some invisible benefits.

Not only Xie Shufang and others, but also Yang Qingwan and Wei Gui had taken Li Yuanji's longevity pills, because Li Yuanji gave them in moderation, which was why time had not left too many traces on these people over the years.

Li Yuanji looked at Xue Rengui and was also extremely satisfied. This was the excellent commander he had always been thinking about. He had only kept this thought hidden before because he was young.

When Xue Rengui came of age, he could no longer hold back and immediately issued an imperial edict to recruit Xue Rengui, who was still struggling to survive independently. Then Li Yuanji continued to train Xue Rengui. Only now was Xue Rengui qualified to follow him and fight in the army as a commander-in-chief.

"Rengui is right. If there are people who dare to rebel, we should just suppress them.

Shufang, you really need to learn from Rengui. Although Rengui is young, he is much more motivated than you.

We were able to force Li Er here, so what are you afraid of?
Whether it's Li Er or anyone else, if anyone dares to make trouble, just eliminate them. There's no need to worry."

Li Yuanji's praise for Xue Rengui made Xue Rengui feel a little embarrassed when he looked at Xi Junmai and the others. Although Xue Rengui believed in his own abilities, he knew more clearly that the people sitting in front of him had more experience than him and their abilities were no worse than his.

When these people followed Li Yuanji to conquer the world, attack foreign races, and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty, he was nothing. Xue Rengui had a clear understanding of this. He did not become conceited or look down on others just because he was valued by Li Yuanji and was constantly rising in power.

Xie Shufang and the others looked at Xue Rengui with puzzled expressions, and finally looked at Li Yuanji with firm eyes.

"Your Majesty, I know. I will definitely learn a lot from General Xue."

Xue Rengui felt helpless when he heard this. He knew that he was going to be tortured next. What was the point of learning more from him? Instead, he was the one who needed to learn more from Xie Shufang and the others.

Xue Rengui was indeed a bit honest and shy. In front of Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji did not mention him. He really could not speak.

Li Yuanji also smiled when he looked at Xie Shufang and the others. How could he not know what these people were planning?

"Haha, that's enough, you just need to communicate and learn from each other, grow together, and don't bully Rengui just because you are old."

"Your Majesty, I would never bully him. I was just communicating in a friendly way."

"Yes, Your Majesty, many of Rengui's ideas are worth learning from. We will go to Rengui to have a good exchange later."

Seeing Xie Shufang and Xi Jun buying these old foxes, Li Yuanji didn't want to talk anymore. Finally, he looked at Xue Rengui and told him to fend for himself.

Inside Li Er's tent, Li Er looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and then told them about Li Yuanji's arrangements for them, which shocked Li Chengqian and Li Tai. They really didn't expect that Li Yuanji would treat them like this.

"Father, King, did His Majesty really arrange it this way? Isn't he afraid?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Er, full of doubts and puzzlement. He never thought that they could continue to lead troops to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty, especially when they were still outside and extremely far away from the Tang Dynasty.

What surprised him most was that Li Yuanji actually restored Li Er's position as King of Qin.

Li Er looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were puzzled and somewhat shocked. He felt complicated for a moment, and then looked at them firmly.

"Cheng Qian, Qing Que, now you all know how narrow-minded His Majesty is. Logically speaking, we would all die. Thinking back to the past, I killed your uncle's entire family. Comparing it to His Majesty now, I feel guilty.

From now on you must remember that your lives, including mine and the offspring to be born in the future, were all given by your third uncle. You must also remember that you are all members of the royal family. The better the Tang Dynasty becomes, the better your talents will be.

Now I am old and my time may not be long. You must understand this now and serve the Tang Dynasty well in the future without having any other thoughts.

If you dare to harm the Tang Dynasty, I will not recognize you two sons, and I am not your father! " (End of this chapter)
