Chapter 619 Martyrs Cemetery

"What a pity, all I can do now is to give preferential treatment to the soldiers who died in battle recently. I really have no choice but to those veterans who fought with me in the world." Li Er also said regretfully at this time.

Li Er is not a pity for money. He really wants to do something for the soldiers who followed him to conquer the world. But a long time has passed. Not to mention finding the soldiers' families, even the names of those soldiers, Li Er can't know them all.

"In this way, I will pass on my will. From today on, the Ministry of War will make every effort to find the list of soldiers who died in battle before, and find ways to find the families of these soldiers everywhere. All soldiers who can find their names will be awarded the title of martyrs. I will order the Ministry of Works to create a special medal, just like a first-class medal of merit. All families with soldiers who die in battle at home will receive the court's pension. "

There is only so much that Li Er can do. After all, ancient times were not as good as modern. There was no perfect personnel registration system, and Li Er could do nothing but try his best to find it.

"Old minister, thank you, the emperor, on behalf of those soldiers who died in battle!" Cheng Yaojin said, and then knelt down and pointed at Li Er.

This head was not for Cheng Yaojin's sake, Cheng Yaojin's sake was for the soldiers who had built a country for the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Cheng Yaojin didn't think much about this knock. He just simply wanted to thank Li Er for the soldiers who had conquered the world together. Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly asked someone to help Cheng Yaojin up.

"Zhijie, what are you doing? I should do this. Now our Tang Dynasty can only do so. When the national strength of the Tang Dynasty becomes stronger in the future, I will treat it more preferentially." Li Er nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea about those soldiers who cannot find their family or even their lives." Zhang Nan said at this time.

"Oh? Qingquan, what are your thoughts? Let's talk about it." Li Eryi asked quickly when he heard that Zhang Nan had another thoughts.

"We can build a martyr's cemetery outside Chang'an City. Whether it is a famous martyr or an unknown martyr, we can place them in a martyr's cemetery for future generations to admire. They are all heroes and deserve such treatment. In this way, those soldiers who died in battle or families with soldiers who died in battle can also have a thought, right? And we can also include patriotism education in our compulsory education."

"On Qingming Festival and National Day, we can organize students from the college to visit the martyrs' cemetery to let them know that their stable life is exchanged for their lives, so that they can be more patriotic. I think this is also a good thing for the next generation." Zhang Nan said.

"Okay! This method is good. I not only want to build this martyr's cemetery in Chang'an City, but also to build such a martyr's cemetery in various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty. Not only students, but everyone should go here to see what they should learn. Yes, patriotic education." Li Er slapped his thigh and said.

"Did Wei Tianwu hear it? He immediately went to court to choose a site to start construction, and then ordered the governments of various places to build it. The money is paid by the treasury. They only need to count the names of local martyrs from various places. Hey, it just happened to cooperate with the newly established armed forces." Li Er was also resolute and said that he had to do whatever he did, and he had to do it immediately, and it would not take a moment to delay it.

"Yes, I will receive the order." Wei Tianwu bowed.

"Your Majesty, it's good that the dead martyrs have been placed, but they are not dead. On the contrary, there are many soldiers who have lost their arms and legs in the war. These people have also made great contributions to the establishment of our Tang Dynasty. However, after the war, they were sent home because they lost their ability to fight. There are many such soldiers in our Tang Dynasty. They have no arms and legs and cannot go to the ground to work, and they are even more pitiful."

Li Shiji stood up and said that Li Shiji was very comprehensive in thinking about the problems. He not only thought of the soldiers who died in battle, but even those soldiers who lost their labor force also thought of them.

"Well, this is also a problem." Li Er nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have thought of this minister," Zhang Nan immediately stood up and said.

"Oh? You thought of it too, let's talk about it quickly." Li Er likes Zhang Nan's character of preparing for the future, which is so convenient. Every time Li Er is worried, Zhang Nan will always come up with a satisfactory solution.

"All veterans who have lost their ability to work can go to the armed forces to receive assistance from veterans every year, which is tentatively set at 500 cents per year. Although 500 cents are not much, they can barely make a living. If the family is really in trouble, then after verification by the local armed forces, the annual assistance will be increased to the usual money. All veterans who have lost their ability to work but can receive 100 cents per year." Zhang Nan said.

"Just do it like this." Li Er calculated in his mind that the total number of veterans who could not move in the Tang Dynasty now was only 10,000, and the treasury could still afford the money.

"Thank you, the emperor." When Li Shiji heard Li Er agree, he hurriedly bowed his hand to thank him.

Li Er waved his hand and continued, "Then let's stop with the issue of soldiers' pensions. This armed forces department is to assist in establishing the establishment of the Ministry of War. You can decide the candidates. Just make a note to me after you have made a reservation."

"The Ministry of War will do the work of the Martyrs Cemetery. If no one wants to draw from the prisoners of Goguryeo. If there is not enough money, go to the Ministry of Revenue. Be sure to do this beautifully. By the way, I will leave the design of this cemetery to Qingquan. I am not sure what others have made, but I am not sure what Qingquan is doing." Li Er nodded and said.

"I received the order."

"Okay, this matter is settled, and the next question is about reward." As soon as Li Er said this, everyone's ears were raised.

This is the highlight of this morning court.

Then Li Er made a gesture, Liu Bing walked down quickly, then took out the imperial edict that Li Er had already drafted and started reading.

The important generals who followed Li Er to fight this time were basically the Duke of the State, so they would not move on their titles. Li Er gave these old ministers more fiefs. The only difference was Li Shiji, because he almost lost his life because he protected Comrade Li Er, which was considered a great contribution, so he had more fiefs than others.

After hearing this, Li Shiji immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to ask the emperor to reward all my fiefs to Lord Zhang. If it weren't for Lord Zhang, the old minister's life would have been thrown into Silla. I always think about how to repay Lord Zhang, you can be sure."
