Cultivation of chastity

Li Shimin looked at the sunny sky in August, thought about the time when he was assassinated in April, and then looked at the memorial played by Qingque to ask for concern.

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, honest man!How could I suspect that this public-minded son wanted to seize the heir?

With his sensitivity to Chang'an, four months... can't keep up with the heat.

Li Shimin turned his head and said to Wang's servant beside him, "What has Qingque been doing these days, isn't it in Luoyang?"

"Not long after King Wei returned to Luoyang, he began to inspect many counties along the road of Henan Road under construction.

Mention the local specialties that should be valued, and coordinate some disputes among the local gentry. I only returned to Luoyang in early July.

Afterwards, many teachers from the agricultural college in Luoyang took their students to different states and counties to cultivate crops. "

Wang's servants reported Li Tai's itinerary in detail.

There is no way, Li Tai has never covered up his journey, and he has never been in vain all the way.

Basically, wherever you go, where you eat, especially with a lot of families and dealings.

If it is passerby A, who knows who you are!

And Li Tai's Prince Wei's Mansion is even more of a sieve. Occasionally, because of some construction projects, or the kitchen needs to recruit people, it is easy to put people in. It is a bit difficult to put people in Li Tai's side, but it is easy to be an eyeliner.

The reason why it's difficult to be placed next to Li Tai is that if you don't perform well, you won't be able to get by Li Tai's side, but when you get to Li Tai's side, you will often be inexplicably arranged to go to the ends of the earth because you are too capable.

For example, there are a few eyeliners that the imperial court has placed in Li Tai's personal guards, and they are still drinking northwest wind in Xihai County, but they don't know when they will be able to get in touch again.

It can only be said that with Wei Wang's side, it will be difficult for you to stand out if you don't devote yourself to your work, but your dedicated work will soon be separated from each other, and it is completely worthless to be an eyeliner.

"What novel idea does Qingque have?" Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

I have to say that although Li Tai is far away in Luoyang now, he can still feel Li Tai's struggle for food and clothing for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"The king of Wei arranged for people to study agricultural planting in various counties, but the servants are not very clear about what to study in detail!"

Wang's servant said respectfully to Li Shimin, but Wang's servant still respected Li Tai.

This kind of respect is not that Li Tai is the king of Wei, but that Li Taizhen is constantly promoting the development of Datang agriculture step by step.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when I didn't even have a bite to eat, how could I be so cruel to kill myself, and then I entered the palace as a servant.

Therefore, the king's servants are naturally full of simple respect for Wei Wang who has been trying to improve the rations of the people from the beginning to the end, which is basically the case for more or less poor people's servants in the palace.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Qingque's filial piety is commendable, and I dispatched three hundred silks from the internal funds to give him as a reward!"

"Of order!" Wang's servant nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Li Shimin looked at the memorial written by Li Tai and couldn't help but shook his head, with a bit of pampering in his mouth, he said, "What nonsense!"

However, for Li Shimin, these things about Li Tai are just an after-work adjustment, and the most important thing is to work.

Li Shimin quickly summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Tang Jian, the current Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian and said, "Starting from today, we will formally check the existing household registrations of Datang to determine the number of existing household registrations in Datang."

"Follow the order!" Hearing this, Tang Jian solemnly answered this matter. Tang Jian was very clear that he could not ignore it.

To some extent, since the three years of Wude in Li Yuan's time, he has hardly had a clear calculation of the population of Datang.

After entering the Zhenguan Dynasty, the people will rest and recuperate, and the population will naturally recover.

However, in this process, it cannot be ignored that some people who were originally forced into the deep mountains and old forests watched the society gradually recover, and began to return to the cities to reclaim land and re-register and register. This group is considered the largest in number.

In addition to these people, some population recovery is due to the fact that Li Shimin successively bought back the Han people from the surrounding alien races, and Li Tai adopted the method of labor reform to make some alien races become Chinese commoners.

To be honest, there are still many people who resist Li Tai's approach, among them are a group of great Confucians headed by Confucianism.

At least in their view, these barbarians have only spoken Chinese for a few years and worked for a few years, so they become Han people.

This makes them quite unacceptable, so there will be more or less discord.

But Li Tai has been at odds with Confucianism since he was a child, and their quarrels are always at odds, anyway, Li Tai doesn't care.

Even if those Hu people were registered in the book, most of them became Han people in places where the commercial atmosphere designated by Li Tai was relatively strong.

What we need to deal with is not the landlords represented by Confucianism, but more businessmen.

The life of these barbarians is still decent, and as long as they can survive, they will naturally be obedient.

As for those who are disobedient, Wei Xu and the bad guys will appear behind them on time, and give them a one-season mine tour package, and the time limit can be extended as appropriate.

All in all, Li Tai was generally kind and kind, but when it was time to strike, he was really able to strike.

Tang Jian knew Li Shimin's order very well.

Although when the rules and regulations were first formulated, Tang Jian did not participate because his status was not enough.

But Tang Jian is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so many things need to be handled by him personally.

At the beginning of this year, I disclosed this matter to him so that he could prepare accordingly.

For example, deploying manpower, arranging routes, and even sorting out the rosters of various places, etc.

At this time, Tang Jian finally understood a little bit, why at the beginning of last year, King Wei gave a New Year's Eve vigorously.

It's very simple, because if you want to confirm the situation of the people at the bottom, you must have the people at the bottom.

For example, aristocratic families are more or less doing things to hide the population, so they need people at the bottom to check.

It was impossible in the past, but now it is different. Whether it is an agricultural society or a hospital, it does not matter whether they can work, but at least they can play a very good supervisory role, so that it is easy to do the work by yourself many.

"It seems that we still need to say hello to King Wei!" Tang Jian couldn't help thinking.

To be honest, even Tang Jian had to admit that he didn't feel much at the bottom, but the more the country's policies spread across the country, the more or less the methods arranged in advance by King Wei will eventually be able to exert unexpected help.

This kind of ability to plan for a rainy day can only be arranged in advance by a person like King Wei who is dedicated to the public, regardless of credit!

Sometimes, Tang Jian couldn't help but feel that if Fang Xuanling went down and Wei Wang took over Pu She, what would happen to the court!
But thinking of this, Tang Jian couldn't help but change his mind again, forget it, after all, he also wants to be the prime minister!
If King Wei goes up, unless King Wei becomes a saint in the future, is there any hope of becoming a prime minister in this life?

Seeing that Tang Jian answered, Li Shimin fell silent. He thought that Tang Jian found it difficult, so he pointed out to Tang Jian, "You can discuss it with Qingque, his agricultural society should be able to help. You have a helping hand."

"I obey the order, thank you saint for your kindness!" Tang Jian expressed his gratitude to Li Shimin after all.

But some things go well, but some things don't go well.

For example, at the beginning of this year, Li Shimin knew that Gaochang Wang Wentai had repeatedly prevented the countries of the Western Regions from paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Yiwu first surrendered to the Western Turks, and soon returned to the Tang Dynasty. Wentai joined forces with the Western Turks to attack Yiwu.

Li Shimin sent a letter to reprimand him, and recruited his minister Ashinaji to discuss matters with him, but Wen Tai refused to let him out, and sent his chief Shi Yong to apologize. Tang couldn't leave.

Of course, what made Li Shimin even more annoying was that many Turkic people from the Central Plains during the Jieli Khan period fled to Gaochang.

When Datang killed Tuyuhun, opened up the four counties in Hexi, and the sphere of influence of Datang extended from Yumen Pass to the Western Regions again, Datang immediately asked Gao Chang to send these people back to Datang, but Gaochang Wang Wentai still chose to hide. population.

The imperial court also couldn't bear this kind of thing, so they sent an envoy to warn them verbally,
"In the past few years, Gaochang has not offered tribute to our Great Tang, and he has not practiced the etiquette of his vassals. He has set up official titles that are the same as my Great Tang. Digging cities and ditches, what is this for?"

Wen Tai replied: "The eagle flies in the sky, the chicken nests in the weeds, the cat plays in the hall, and the mouse chews food in the cave. Each has its own place. Can't it be allowed to develop itself?"

He also sent an envoy to Xue Yantuo, saying: "Since you are a khan, you should be equal to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you worship his envoy?"

It can be said that Wen Tai did not realize at all that the Western Regions have been China's territory since ancient times.

After the Great Tang Empire re-emerged, killed the Eastern Turks, kicked off Tuyuhun, and successfully took back the land of the four counties in Hexi, they planned to announce that their father had returned.

To be honest, the Han people have a deep obsession with many lands since ancient times.

Even if they don't come back in a short period of time, after a few hundred years, when they develop again, they must find a way to get these lands back.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin stared at Goguryeo, because that piece of land really belonged to Datang.

It's just that Wen Tai hasn't felt Datang's paternal love for too long, thinking that the land under his feet now belongs to him, so he really doesn't have much good intentions for Datang.

As for Datang, for his return to the Western Regions, he just needs a chicken to make an example of others, and if you jump like this, you don't choose who you choose.

Of course, Li Shimin finally gave Gaochang Wang Wenchang a chance and sent an envoy to let him come and admit his mistake.

After all, as the saying goes, "Don't say that you don't say it is unpredictable", Datang is still very reasonable to a certain extent.

If you don't reason with me, grass will grow on the grave.

Therefore, now Li Shimin is patiently waiting for news from King Gaochang, it depends on his awareness.

Of course, when Li Shimin continued to work for the country, Li Chengqian was not idle.

Because Li Chengqian gathered a group of Turkic people, he felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Especially in military affairs, it doesn't matter if he is inferior to Wang Xuance, no matter how strong Wang Xuance is, he is still in the hands of Xihai County, he is just a side general, and he will have a chance to deal with him when he ascends the throne.

It's just that at this time, Li Chengqian set his sights on Fang Xuanling.

Li Chengqian believed from beginning to end that he was a little worse than Li Tai in internal affairs, but it was only a little bit.

As long as he recruits Fang Xuanling, then what is Li Tai?

Therefore, Prince Li Chengqian wanted to worship Xuanling as his teacher, as if he was his former teacher Li Gang, and asked Fang Xuanling to assist him. I believe Fang Xuanling would feel very honored.

They set up guards of honor and guards, waiting for Fang Xuanling's arrival.

As for Li Chengqian's meaning, Fang Xuanling could see through it at a glance.

But let's be realistic, in the eyes of Fang Xuanling and other ministers, Li Tai is already full-fledged.

Wen Youma Zhou took over the Ministry of Officials step by step, and Wu Youwang Xuance stationed one side.

Even in the center of Chang'an, there is Xue Rengui, an official from the Wei Palace's personal guard.

Although Li Tai kept silent, he had already arranged the way back to Chang'an, and now he only lacked the opportunity to return to the center.

And this opportunity was created by King Wei himself, and that is the road that is now being built on Henan Road.

When the road is completed, King Wei will return to Chang'an. At that time, only Chang'an can accommodate the dragon.

Therefore, although King Wei walked slowly step by step, he walked steadily step by step.

Everything is under Wei Wang's own control, as long as Wei Wang doesn't mess around, no one can stop Wei Wang's return.

Under such circumstances, how could Fang Xuanling be willing to get involved in this troubled water, and she resolutely did not dare to meet with her, and returned home.

He had lost such a big face, but Li Chengqian couldn't help itching his teeth looking at Fang Xuanling.

But what can Li Chengqian do, Li Chengqian is also very helpless!

If there is a party in the entire Zhenguan court, it is only the Fang party. All the civil servants in the court are either friendly with Fang Xuanling or selected by Fang Xuanling, and there is no one who can compete with Fang Xuanling.

That is to say, Li Shimin dared to entrust everything to Fang Xuanling, and this entrustment was directly entrusted to Fang Xuanling's death.

If Li Zhi were to change, I'm afraid I don't know if I can sleep at night, if I don't get Fang Xuanling down, and then find a way to split the court, so that the entire court maintains a situation of multi-party struggle, I'm afraid it will be completely Don't feel at ease.

As for Li Chengqian, he couldn't do anything else other than endure this breath.

It’s just that maybe in order to vent the depression in my heart, maybe because I recruited a group of Turkic people, more or less got a bit of Turkic habits, and started to indulge in hunting. After all, this is more comfortable than reading by myself too much.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xuansu was worried, and repeatedly advised the prince, but Li Chengqian refused to listen to him and continued to indulge in hunting.

When Li Tai was not in Chang'an, Li Chengqian really didn't feel any pressure!

I need to go out for a long trip tomorrow, and I will come back late, so there should be only one more update.
