"All the citizens are to serve in the military."
Jiang Yi's words shocked Li Chengqian.""What is universal military service?"
"Revise the military service system and have a large-scale conscription every three years. Half a year's training was the recruit period. After the new recruits joined the army for half a year, the veterans retired and the country did not support them. Sixteen years old was the age for military service. This way, all men of the Great Tang could join the army at the age of sixteen. After three years, those who were willing to stay in the army could continue to do so. Those who were unwilling could retire and return home.”
Everyone's eyes lit up when Jiang Yi mentioned the military service system of the later generations.
It was beneficial to the country and the people.
The population of the Great Tang was only slightly more than ten million, and it was necessary to adopt a national military service system to increase its fighting capacity.
Moreover, with the current system, a bunch of veterans were still in the army. New vitality could not enter, and it was not enough to drag them down in battle.
"Brother Jiang is truly a genius."
Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh excitedly. Your Highness, if Your Majesty can adopt Brother Jiang's plan, our Tang army will be able to maintain its fighting strength forever.”
"Jiang Yi, why aren't you willing to become an official?”
Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel that Jiang Yi was simply too formidable. Every plan could improve the Great Tang's current predicament, and they were all methods that no one had ever used before.
Salt production, wine brewing, and even the asthma medicine given to Princess Changle were all immortal items.
If this kind of person was placed in the officialdom, rising to the top was a small matter. It was simply too easy for him to be promoted.
"Crown Prince, please don't try to persuade me anymore. I'm not interested in official career.”
"But I promise I'll give you a gift in the future." Jiang Yi smiled faintly.”
"What treasure is it?" Li Chengqian's interest was piqued.
"In this world, there is a thing that uses gunpowder as food and iron pipes as launchers. The gunpowder can be loaded into the iron pipes and fired continuously. It was a hundred times more powerful than a bow and arrow.“
Jiang Yi smiled and said,""This item is called a fire gun."
"Is there really such a thing in this world?"
Everyone who had been drinking in a daze instantly woke up. They all knew that if what Jiang Yi said was true, then Li Tangjiang would be in danger.
Li Chengqian instantly broke out in cold sweat and was no longer in the mood to eat."Jiang Yi, where can I find such a weapon?”
"Chengqian, don't panic. Only I can create such a weapon in this world.”
Jiang Yida's words made these young masters not know whether to cry or laugh. Jiang Yi had given them too many surprises these past few days, and they had gradually become numb to the existence of such a god.
Drunk from the alcohol, they supported each other and went home.
Jiang Yi didn't drink much. He called the butler over and prepared to go to the village that Li Er had bestowed him with. He brought Liu 'er along and rode a tall horse straight out of the city.
It was just past noon, and there was still an afternoon before the Dusk Drum sounded and the city gates closed.
The village was located 50 miles away from Chang 'an. It would take an hour to get there by horse, but the location was good. It was close to mountains and rivers. There were few families here, and they usually made a living by farming.
In ancient times, poor families did not have their own land at all. They all worked for the landlord.
The previous owner of this place had been executed for committing a crime. From now on, Jiang Yi was the owner of this place.
When they arrived at the place, they got off their horses. Many commoners began to ask,"Are you Immortal Jiang of Chang 'an?”
"I've long heard that our Great Tang has an Immortal River who can produce high-grade green salt…"
"That's right. The Tang army was eating green salt.”
Jiang Yi greeted these people and looked at the place he was going to stay in from afar. He was very dissatisfied.
They were all ordinary residences from ancient times, which gave Jiang Yi a headache. He called his servants over."Steward Jiang, after you return to Chang 'an today, find some craftsmen to build a new house as soon as possible.”
"Young Master, are you…not satisfied with this place?”
Butler Jiang was stunned. This ready-made house was so good. Why did they still need to build it?
"Too bad."
As he spoke, Jiang Yi took out a blueprint and pointed at the logo on it.""Do you see? Our house will be built according to this pattern. The center will be five stories high, and artificial lakes will be trimmed on both sides. The house should be built nearby. He built another waterwheel in the middle of the lake.”
"Young…Young Master, this old servant has never heard of this residence before.”
Butler Jiang had never seen such a big villa in the future. He looked at the blueprint in shock."But, Young Master, I'm afraid that no one in the Great Tang can understand the many carvings on it.”
"It's fine. You just need to find them and I'll tell them one by one.”
Jiang Yi had seen a lot of glass in the warehouse, and it was too wasteful to keep it. He was going to build a big villa.
Artificial swimming pool, fake water, and as for the fountain... Uh, forget it, those things couldn't be moved over directly, so they could only be replaced with a modified water wheel.
Chang 'an City was located in the northwest of Huaxia, and it was very barren. Coincidentally, there were many plants and seeds in the warehouse, which would fill the yard everywhere.
Drinking tea, growing flowers, walking the dog.
Occasionally, he would give Li Er's family some pointers.
"This old servant understands."
Steward Jiang admired this young master more and more. He was simply too formidable, and his casual moves were something that no one in the Great Tang could do. He couldn't help but ask curiously,"Then…Young Master, what should we do with the original residence?”
"I'll give this house to you."
After Jiang Yiyi finished speaking, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back, leaving the dumbfounded Butler Jiang standing on the spot.
