Datang first village

What is a consulate?

Li Yuanxing did not explain that the modern meaning of consulates certainly cannot be used in the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Yuanxing has his own explanation.

"This king once asked Huihe to make a promise, and now it's time for this king to fulfill this promise. Twelve acres of land, although not too big, are my sincerity!"

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, let alone other people, even King Huihe Khan was at a loss.

Twelve acres of land, what twelve acres of land!Is it paddy field or dry land?

"A small courtyard, counting from the wall. Outside the wall is the Tang Dynasty, and inside the wall is Huihe. Walking inside the wall is equivalent to entering the territory of Huihe. There will be such a place in Chang'an City. Let you Huihe There is a home in Chang’an! I also let you go back to the officials stationed in Chang’an to have a place to live!”

Did you hear me wrong?No, there should be nothing wrong.

King Qin of the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to set aside a place in Chang'an City for Huihe, and this was Huihe.

Li Yuanxing didn't pay attention to the surprised expressions of the six people, and continued: "When you enter the wall, you abide by the laws of Huihe, and outside the wall are the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Don't say it is the king, it is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my brother." To enter this courtyard, Honglu Temple must first submit a formal request for a visit to Huihe, and then you can only enter after getting permission."

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is coming, who dares to stop him.

Of course, King Huihe Khan would not speak nonsense, but he asked a question.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, do you have a question to ask?"

"It's time to ask, of course it's time to ask. Feel free to ask anything!" Li Yuanxing replied with a smile.

After thinking about it, King Huihe Khan organized the sentences as simple as possible.

"Your Highness, if a thief sneaks into the courtyard you assigned to Huihe, what should I do?"

"Then the king asks a question? There are thieves who broke into your house, what should you do?" Li Yuanxing walked in front of King Huihe Khan.

"Kill!" King Huihe Khan replied simply and directly.

"That's right, you can kill, no matter who it is. There is no official visit, no Huihe's consent, those admitted to the hospital. Kill!" Li Yuanxing's answer made Huihe Khan's heart tighten, but Li Yuanxing continued: "The sergeant of the Tang Dynasty , The sergeant who hunts down the thieves will never chase into your courtyard."

King Huihe Khan seemed to understand.also laughed.

"As a friend, Xia Guo thought that the thief should be captured alive and given to the sergeant who caught the thief."

"In the simplest sentence, any act that dares to invade this courtyard at will can be understood as an undeclared war. It is an invasion of the territory, and the courtyard is Huihe."

King Huihe Khan fully understood that with such a place, it was status.

This is the sincerity of the Datang Covenant.

Li Yuanxing said again: "However, my king suggests that even you Huihe merchants should not live here lightly. This represents Huihe, and the people who live here should be envoys, military officers, and scribes stationed in the Tang Dynasty. As for the merchants , you can buy another courtyard, the consulate represents the majesty of Huihe!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I Huihe also invites the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to stay in Huihe. The range of his tent is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will definitely send envoys there, this is the friendship of allies!"

Huihe is willing, and the other five families are naturally willing. This permanent envoy represents a very close ally relationship, but the relationship between Huihe and Tuli Little Khan is not so friendly.

After sending the six families away, Cui Dunli said: "Spring will start soon, and after the spring, there will be 1000 million wool purchases. All the tribes in the grassland have jointly requested to increase the share, and the holy decree will add [-]%. There are fifty million sheep in one tribe of Huihe!"

"Will they fight?" Li Yuanxing asked.

Cui Dunli shook his head: "At least not this year, but it's hard to say next year."

"Is there any way to make them fight this year?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

Cui Dunli still shook his head: "I can't think of a way."

However, Wei Zheng said: "The Staff Council of Prince Qin's Mansion and the Tianying Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty naturally have countless wise men, so it's better to leave this difficult problem to them!"

"My king has a plan. First, concentrate on buying from one family, and then another. See how the grassland responds, and then make a decision. Sometimes, internal conflicts are more terrifying than external ones. The trading volume of Huihe is not enough for their total wool volume. One percent, then there will be internal conflicts first, they are the leaders of the grassland, will they oppress other people?"

Yangmou, this is definitely Yangmou.

Wei Zheng is responsible for handling this matter, and Li Yuanxing believes that Wei Zheng will consider those details.

The former poorest slums in Chang'an City were all demolished, and a large number of job recruitment notices were posted in Chang'an City.

Many envoys from foreign countries in Honglu Temple lined up here, and they also wanted to get a piece of land and build a courtyard.

"Agreed? Why did you agree?" Li Er stood in the imperial garden, looking at Dongxue's plum blossoms, while talking with Wang Jishan, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji.

"The six families selected by Wu Lang are the six families. If the rest of the states want it, they will delay it until next year. Otherwise, how can the six families be different?" Pin it to your ear.

If Li Yuanxing saw it, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

It is understandable to say that women love flowers, but you, a big man who kills like hemp, also wear flowers, what is that.

But in fact, this is Datang.

Men in Datang painted powder, wore flowers, and rubbed incense.Even many people would never go out without powder on their faces, and they are not young people, but some people of a certain age do it.

For example, Changsun Wuji!

Changsun Wuji didn't like to go to Qinwangzhuang. The first reason was that he didn't want the gentry to feel that he was too close to Li Yuanxing.And another reason is that the men in Qinwangzhuang are not allowed to wear powder, which makes him very uncomfortable.It's even a little annoying.

Changsun Wuji first praised Li Er's beautiful flowers.

Then he said: "My lord clearly checked, this is a great opportunity. In terms of Huihe, my Tang Dynasty can be stationed in the Tang Dynasty in a straightforward manner. Forget it, it’s much better than being a businessman, and you can do many things.”

"Yes, Goro mentioned this too!"

The eldest grandson said yes, envoys from foreign countries, and even a few kings of Khan who are stationed in Chang'an and are unwilling to leave, and you have no way to drive them away.

According to the report of the Security Department of the Tang Empire, there are at least several hundred foreign agents in Chang'an.

But Datang sent very few secret agents in these foreign countries.

"What's the rush?" Li Er turned his head and glanced at Changsun Wuji: "We must not fight within five years. This is a national policy that has been set, so why not send someone a year later."

Wang Jishan also said: "Your Majesty, take a look at the good and bad of the consulate, and make improvements, even if it's a year later!"

Changsun Wuji obviously disagreed with Wang Jishan's statement, and turned his attention to Fang Xuanling again.

Fang Xuanling is not a good person, but he has to support Li Er.Of course, by the way, we should also knock on the Seventh Family.

So Fang Xuanling said: "It doesn't matter if you don't send today, just spend a year to select some available talents, the first month [***] exam, the first month 28 hall exam. Whether these people are talents or not depends on Chang'an It's not too late to use them according to their abilities after some training."

Fang Xuanling's words were very straightforward. .

It can be said that in this big exam, more than half of the candidates who took part were members of the Seventh Family, and with the addition of other noble families, less than [-]% of the students were from poor families.

And these people, after becoming officials, the Seventh Family has the highest proportion.

"Choose the candidates who will go to these six states first. The big exam must be done quickly. The Ministry of Rites will strictly investigate the fraud. If something embarrassing happens in the first big exam in the year of Zhenguan, I will lose face!"

Li Er's words also faintly warned Wang Jishan, since you are the Minister of Rites.I don't ask you to give the humble scholars a lenient, but at least you need a chance to compete fairly.

"What the Holy Majesty said is very true, I should strictly investigate!" Wang Jishan bowed in response.

Li Er said again: "Spring begins on February [-]nd, where should this sacrifice be placed?"

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, which is also the day of farming.The second day of February in the Tang Dynasty is almost March in modern times, the time of spring plowing.Naturally, the emperor wanted to offer sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, so that the weather would be favorable for a year.

Li Er had two places in mind.

The first one is Huangzhuang in the north of the city, where the heaven and the earth were sacrificed in previous years.

The second is Luoyang, because Li Yuanxing mentioned that he wanted to make Luoyang a place of granary.What's more, Luoyang was also the basis for Li Er's confrontation with Prince Jiancheng, so Li Er wanted to take this opportunity to visit Luoyang.

However, if you want to go to Luoyang, then the imperial examination must either be transferred to Luoyang, or you need to hurry.

The third place is Qinwangzhuang.

During the autumn harvest, I had already sacrificed once at Qinwangzhuang, and it was really boring to sacrifice again in the spring.

Changsun Wuji knew what Li Er was thinking, but what could he do if he knew.

"Your Majesty, why not put the spring plowing in Huangzhuang, north of Chang'an City. How about putting the summer harvest in Luoyang?" Wang Jishan suggested.

"It's okay, it's settled like this." Li Erxin said, it's okay to wait half a year to go to Luoyang, just to see how the harvest in Luoyang is.As for Qin Wang Zhuang, I heard that some new things are being planted, so it's good to go and see what's new when you have time.

Spring plowing is a big deal!It is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, and the people's livelihood in the world!

After Li Yuanxing finished handling the affairs of the consulate, he was already preparing for spring plowing.

The village chiefs of all the villages in Qinwangzhuang were summoned to the school grounds. Because of the practice of large agricultural cooperatives implemented by Li Yuanxing Qinwangzhuang, what Li Yuanxing was talking about was the division of labor, the rhythm, and the daily work plan in detail.Li Yuanxing needs to mobilize the farmers in Qinwangzhuang to the maximum extent, and plant as many fields as possible!
