Chapter 918 The King of Persia goes to the military school

In the era when Li Xiu lived, although China was no longer the most powerful country in the world, it was a country that was rising rapidly and trying to enhance its international influence as much as possible. Li Xiu had seen some reports on the Internet that among Chinese military academies, there were students from many African countries studying. Most of these students were powerful people from small African countries, and even the presidents of a small country had studied in Chinese military academies.

The powerful people of these small countries were educated in China and later returned to China to inherit their positions at home. Generally speaking, they would have some good feelings for China, which also laid the foundation for China to invest in Africa in later generations.

Now Yi Siqi actually said that she wanted to learn military tactics, which made Li Xiu have a sudden inspiration. The Tang Dynasty Military Academy has been established for several years and has trained many young generals over the years. The earliest Su Dingfang can already stand alone. Xue Rengui, the military giant of the Tang Dynasty, will also further study in the military academy in the future, so it is better to send Yi Siqi in.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu told the story of the General Academy. As a result, Yi Siqi and Misia asked in surprise: "There is actually a school dedicated to training generals in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, our Tang Dynasty not only has a school to train generals, but also will soon open a school to train low-level officials. But I have to say that the training in the military academy is very hard. This year, a group of noble children will be recruited to study in the military academy. It is limited to ten years old. If you want to go to the King of Persia, I can help you plead with Your Majesty, but you must also be prepared to endure hardships!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"That's great. I'm willing to go. From Persia to the Tang Dynasty, I have suffered all kinds of hardships along the way. As long as I can learn skills, I don't care about any kind of hardships!" Yi Siqi jumped up and shouted excitedly when he heard this.

"This... cannot do it!" But at this moment, Missia stood up anxiously, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke to stop him.

"Why not, sister, do you want me to be a mediocre person in such a daze?" Yi Siqi asked immediately, and a little fog suddenly rose in his big eyes. Although he was only ten years old, his tragedy of the country and family destruction made him much more mature than ordinary children, and he even had a luxury in his heart, that is, one day he would be able to return to Persia and regain his own throne.

"No...I...I'm just worried that you will be bullied when you go to the military academy!" Missia saw that her younger brother was almost crying, and hurriedly denied it. In fact, her worries make sense. After all, during this period, they have felt the discrimination against them by the people of Hu. The military academy is full of powerful people in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe they will look down on Hu even more. Yi Siji may be excluded by other students when he enters.

"Don't worry about this. In fact, you should also find that those who really look down on you Hu people are mostly people with relatively low status. The nobles generally have good education. Even if they look down on their hearts, they will not show it on the surface. Moreover, there are many Hu people in our Tang Dynasty who are officials, such as He Pan Ren and General He. He is a Hu person. I have some friendship with him. As far as I know, his two sons are studying in the military academy!" Li Xiu said with a smile again at this time.

Yi Siqi is a good experimental subject and may become a role model for the cultural, political and economic output of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so he naturally would not give up easily, and even thought of the reasons to convince Li Shimin.

"Sister, even the Duke of the State supports me, and there are not only Han officials among the Tang Dynasty, and I am not easy to bully, so don't worry!" Yi Siqi saw that Li Xiu also supported him, and said excitedly again. It seemed that he was determined to go to the military academy.

"But..." Missia was still hesitant when she heard this. In fact, she was worried that Yi Siqi would be bullied by someone. The most important thing was that she was the only younger brother Yi Siqi, so she naturally didn't want him to have any danger again. However, if he went to the military academy, he would definitely go to the battlefield in the future. Moreover, she knew that ambitions were proportional to her ability. If Yi Siqi had the ability in the future, he might really take the risk to return to Persia one day in the future.

"Misia, I know you are worried about Yi Siqi, but think about it, Yi Siqi is only ten years old and his life will be long in the future. Do you really want him to live a life of living in Chang'an and waiting for death? People always have to pursue their lives so that they can have the motivation to survive!" Li Xiu persuaded earnestly at this time. In order to convince Misia, he rarely explained the great truth.

"Yes, sister, didn't you force me to learn more in the past? I hope I can be an emperor who revitalized Persia. Now, although we have escaped from Persia, we cannot give up our previous ideals!" Yi Siqi also added strength at this time.

Faced with the persuasion of Li Xiu and his younger brother, Misia was finally shaken. She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then finally raised her head and said to Yi Siqi: "Okay, since you have decided to learn to be a general, I won't stop you anymore, but you have to master the text of the Central Plains first. After all, although you are good at speaking now, you can't write it yet!"

"No problem, thank you sister!" Yi Siqi saw his sister agreeing, and immediately shouted excitedly. This should be the happiest thing he had since escaped from Persia. Even if he first arrived in Chang'an, he did not make him so excited.

Seeing Misia agreeing, Li Xiu was relieved. Yi Siqi was the king of Persia and had great value to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Persia was very far away from the Tang Dynasty, so even if he learned the military tactics of the Tang Dynasty, he would not pose any substantial threat to the Tang Dynasty in the future.

What's more, Dashi is not a vegetarian. This empire with political and religious ties is one of the most terrifying empires in history. To take a step back, even if Persia and Rome join forces, it is impossible to destroy the other party. Even if Yi Siqi really restored the country in the future, he would probably have to try his best to establish a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty so that he has the strength to stop the attack of the cannibals.

Moreover, if Yi Siqi really could restore his country in the future, he would have been in Central Asia and the expansion of the Tang Dynasty into the Western Regions, it would definitely make the Silk Road more smooth, making the Tang Dynasty's goods sold throughout the Eurasian continent. It can be said that cultivating a Persian king like Yi Siqi, who was pro-Tang Dynasty, would be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty without any harm.

Missia brought Yi Siqi out to increase her knowledge. After all, Chang'an City is so big that they will live here again in the future, so she has been taking Yi Siqi around for a while. As for today, I heard that the dishes in this restaurant were well made, so I wanted to come and taste them. Anyway, they were not short of money. After all, when they escaped from Persia, they brought a lot of valuable things, and just one or two pieces was enough for their siblings to spend.

Li Xiu is also a delicious person. He has been here in this restaurant and is not unfamiliar with the dishes here. When the dishes are all over, he took the initiative to tell Yi Siqi about cooking some dishes, and also brought up some interesting allusions. This was the first time even Misia heard these, and Li Xiu was also very talkative, so the meal was naturally full of fun.

It was getting late, and Li Xiu stood up and said goodbye. Misia planned to take Yi Siqi to enjoy the night view of Chang'an City, but it was not easy for Li Xiu to accompany him, so she personally sent the other party out of the restaurant, and then turned around to continue to travel in the West City. Anyway, there is no curfew in Chang'an now, and it is even more lively at night than during the day.

The next morning, Li Xiu went to the palace to tell Li Shimin about Yi Siqi's intention to study in the military academy, and also helped him analyze the pros and cons of it. In fact, with Li Shimin's shrewdness, Li Xiu thought of the benefits as soon as he spoke, so he agreed very happily. Anyway, there were many Hu people among the officials of the Tang Dynasty. As long as Yi Siqi was capable, even if he did not return to Persia in the future, he could still get a job in the Tang Dynasty.

A few days later, the first batch of materials from the Luoyang Bank was finally shipped, the connection between the two banks was officially opened, and the deposit and withdrawal between banks were finally realized. For a time, the bank was once again caught in the public opinion, and the whole Chang'an was discussing the strange things about the bank.

After all, people in this era had limited knowledge. In their opinion, saving money in Luoyang but being able to withdraw money from Chang'an was a great thing. It took people several days to calm down. However, the bank's business also hit a peak. After all, Chang'an and Luoyang are the two most prosperous cities in the Tang Dynasty, and business activities are very frequent between each other. Naturally, a large amount of wealth is circulating, and there are even a large number of merchants who need this business.

Xu Jingzong is temporarily in charge of Luoyang. After all, the bank there has just been established, and there cannot be only one bank in Luoyang, so Xu Jingzong probably won’t come back this year. In this way, Li Xiuduo will have to worry about the banks in Changan, so he is also very busy during this period.

However, no matter how busy Li Xiu was, he would try his best to take more time to visit Li Chengqian. At the same time, he also discussed with Sun Simiao how to exercise Li Chengqian's injured leg, which was actually physical therapy in later generations. Try to make Li Chengqian recover to a normal level, at least make his walking posture look like a normal person.

Li Chengqian was also very cooperative with Li Xiu's treatment. You should know that physical therapy is very painful. It requires continuous stretching of muscles and sometimes massage joints. Li Chengqian's bones have not grown well. Now that he is doing these exercises, he is sweating all over the head every time, but he has never complained about pain.
