Seeing that Li Er didn't say anything, Zhang Nan had to continue saying: "There is a greater benefit to train lower-level officers in this way."

"Oh, then you can tell me what greater benefits there are." Li Er asked when he heard Zhang Nan say there are other benefits, so he asked.

"Have the emperor ever thought about what consequences would be if you were asked to be the principal of that military academy, that is, the nominal teachers of those officers?" Zhang Nan asked back.

"This... I really haven't thought about it." Li Er did not think about this question, because he didn't quite understand what the principal Zhang Nan meant.

"Let me say so, but this is just an example, and there is no other meaning. Master, have you ever been afraid that your generals will have a second thought for you?" As soon as Zhang Nan said this, the entire imperial study room suddenly became quiet. Li Er did not answer Zhang Nan's words, and there were only two people left in the imperial study room, and the two looked at each other in the imperial study room.

After a long time, Li Ercai said, "I believe in my generals. They share the joys and sorrows with me. They are all good generals who help me conquer the world. I believe in them and will not have any intention of me."

"Your Majesty, you are not wrong. My generals of the Tang Dynasty are naturally loyal. Can you conquer those generals with your own personal charm? But can you guarantee that after you, or after the prince, every general who leads troops will be loyal to the royal family?" Zhang Nan continued to ask back.

Li Er thought for a while, and had to say, "Of course this is not possible. Qingquan, just say whatever you want. I will think about it seriously." Li Er was tired of Zhang Nan's way of playing puzzles and said impatiently.

"So, what I want to say is that if the emperor can be the principal of the military academy, it will be guaranteed that every grassroots general will be loyal to the emperor, and the position of the principal of the military academy can only be done by the emperor. In this way, every emperor after you can control his own army and ensure the loyalty of the army. Perhaps the effect at the beginning is not very obvious, but I can guarantee that within twenty years, the mainstay of my Tang army will be the emperor's students. In less than fifty years, I dare to fight and promise that all the people with official positions in my Tang army will be from my Tang army. In this way, these lower-level officers will only be loyal to the emperor." Zhang Nan said so. After all, no one is suspicious? Which emperor does not love power?

After listening to Zhang Nan's explanation, Li Er suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, okay, okay." He said three times in a row, and Li Er continued.

"I got a clear spring, just like Emperor Gaozu of Han got a Zhang Zifang." Li Er was not stingy with his praise. Zhang Nan's idea simply said that Li Er's heart was. After all, the most suspicious person in the world was the emperor. Zhang Nan did this to solve a big problem for Li Er.

"I can't afford it." Although Zhang Nan said this, his face did not look at all humble.

"But I have a problem." Li Er suddenly thought of something.

"Your Majesty, you said."

"My Tang Dynasty had just been established, and its foundation was unstable. I was afraid that there would not be so much silver to support an army that was too large. Isn't your method saying that when there is no war on weekdays, I also have to support an army?" Li Er could see the recruitment system that Zhang Nan mentioned.

"This is inevitable in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army." Zhang Nan did not consider so much. It is a historical necessity that the recruitment system will eventually replace the military system. Zhang Nan just advanced it for a while.

When Li Er saw Zhang Nan give him such an unreliable answer, he immediately became angry again. After all, the little flame of hope was blown out by himself before it was ignited for a long time, and no one would feel good.

"I don't care. Since you proposed this thing, you have to come up with a solution for me." Li Er suddenly became unreasonable. After all, the benefits of the recruitment system and the benefits of the military academy are obvious. Li Er didn't want to give up the opportunity to enhance the strength of the Tang Dynasty just because he had no money.

When Zhang Nan heard Li Er say this, he was immediately embarrassed, but Li Er's golden mouth was open. Zhang Nan had a way, and he had to have no way.

"This...Mr. Rong thought about it." Zhang Nan fell into thinking.

Li Er was not in a hurry and picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of tea. The tea was presented by Cui Shao's tea shop. Of course, Li Er also knew that this was Cui's business. Li Er was not very interested in this kind of thing that already existed but was just improved. However, Li Er still liked drinking tea. After all, this was completely different from the tea he had drunk before, and after drinking the tea, Li Er felt that he would become more energetic. This is also one of the reasons why Li Er couldn't put down tea.

"By the way, I thought of it." Zhang Nan said without waiting for Li Er to finish a cup of tea.

"Oh, so soon, let me tell you." Li Er put down the teacup in his hand, looking as if he was listening carefully.

"If the emperor cannot take out all the military pay for a while, we can do this, only equip one regiment, that is, three hundred people. The emperor can see the effect first. If the effect is good, we can take it slowly. And I think once our war starts, no one can tell the time to stop. We can achieve the goal of fighting to support the war until all the threats around the Tang Dynasty are cleared."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhang Nan's idea, Li Er was not very interested. "Qingquan, you have never fought a war, you don't understand. This war is not that simple. You can use war to support the war. That war will not cause great damage to the country. If you suffer a big defeat, it will shake the foundation of the country. I also want to eliminate all the hidden dangers around me, but how can it be that simple?"

"Emperor Yang of Sui is also a figure, but because he conquered Goguryeo outside and built canals inside, he had a good idea, but he was too impatient and finally dragged down his foundation. So, we have to slowly conquer this matter." Li Er had no choice. If it were not an overwhelming victory, it would not be the best result for the victorious side or the defeated side.

"I naturally know this, but what if we can achieve a one-sided situation? Then can we flatten the surroundings?" Zhang Nan also said back.

"Oh, Qingquan, do you have a way to achieve a one-sided situation?" Li Er saw Zhang Nan so confident that he thought Zhang Nan had another idea.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet, but there will always be it." Zhang Nan also told the truth.
