"Your Majesty, I am incompetent."
In the Daming Palace, Yang Yuhuan, a pear blossom with rain in her eyes, was pleading guilty to Li Yunze.
Li Yunze, who had just returned from the dinner to welcome the emperor, stepped forward and helped him up, "Don't talk nonsense, I am very happy."
It seems mindless, but it actually means the same thing.
When Li Yunze was fighting abroad, the child was born, but she was a princess.
Because there was no one around the emperor except her and an unknown concubine Mei, Yang Yuhuan, who was responsible for leaving an heir for the Tang Dynasty, was very sad about this.
Later, Li Yunze stayed on the prairie and in Hebei for a long time, which made him even more frightened and uneasy, thinking that he was angry.
During these days, even if Li Yunze kept writing to her to persuade her, he could not calm her mental state.
In scientific terms, postpartum depression leads to an extremely poor mental state.
If it weren't for the danger caused by Li Yunze's letter, he might have become mentally ill directly due to stress.
"Don't say such things, I like my daughter."
Li Yunze lifted Yang Yuhuan up and held her in his arms, patting her shoulders that felt so good. "Besides, you are so young, it's not like you can only have one child in this life."
He knew exactly where the root of this symptom was.
So he didn't want to talk nonsense, he leaned over and picked up Yang Yuhuan, who was slightly heavier than an ordinary girl.
Yang Yuhuan is indeed heavier than ordinary girls, about ten pounds.
Compared with those thin girls who look beautiful but are actually ugly, Yang Yuhuan's sincerity is the best.
Because they all focus on where they should be.
Not to mention, Yang Yuhuan also has a beautiful face that has captivated the country and the city and is recognized by history books.
Satisfied, Li Yunze carried Yang Yuhuan and walked inside, comforting him as he walked, "Don't be impatient. I will give you injections and medicine to diagnose and treat your heart disease now."
After all, heart disease requires a heart medicine doctor, and only Li Yunze has the medicine for Yang Yuhuan in the world.
Feeling Li Yunze's tough sincerity, Yang Yuhuan, who had been under tremendous pressure during this period, was finally able to gradually calm down.
The emperor was right. It's not that he can't have children, he can just regenerate.
Next, is the process of Yang Yuhuan's efforts to obtain the heart medicine.
The process was a bit difficult, after all, it was well known that Li Yunze was pregnant with great wealth.
The specific process is too boring, so I won’t go into details here.
The heart disease that had troubled Yang Yuhuan for a long time was cured after one night.
However, Yang Yuhuan said that the symptoms were only relieved but not eradicated, and he still needed to continue taking injections and medicine until he recovered.
Li Yunze naturally doesn't care about this. After all, curing diseases and saving people is a good deed and one of his hobbies.
As a good person, of course I will not refuse the joy of helping others.
While Li Yunze stayed in the Daming Palace all day long, busy treating illnesses and rescuing people, the Tang court was still endlessly busy, even to the point of being overloaded.
Because Li Yunze was not Li Sanlang who gave up after being addicted to pleasure in middle age. While he was driving piles in the Daming Palace day and night, he never relaxed his attention and arrangements for the government affairs.
A large number of specific tasks were arranged for everyone, and people would be sent over from time to time to urge them.
Yang Guozhong served as the supervisory censor, specializing in catching the pigtails of high-ranking officials. Anyone who dared to neglect would be immediately reported to him.
This job suits Yang Guozhong's taste very much, and he likes to do this the most.
At this time, the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty were not difficult at all to put it bluntly. Specifically, they were to attack the interests of the nobles, local tyrants and evil gentry, take them away by force, and then distribute them to the common people.
Another thing is to lighten the corvee and reduce the burden, and recuperate with the people.
Datang's national power was very strong and could support such actions.
It couldn't be done before because Li Sanlang was addicted to pleasure and spent one-third of his fiscal income alone.
In order to make money and enjoy himself, he used powerful eunuchs and traitorous ministers as well as relatives of the emperor and the country. This group of people hacked away another third of their income.
The remaining ones must be distributed to the entire Tang Dynasty for use, and priority must be given to the continuous war expenses.
In this case, of course it is not enough.
But now, Li Yunze himself is only one-third of Li Sanlang's size. The population in his palace has been reduced to less than one-tenth of what it was during Li Sanlang's time, and the number of girls around him has dropped from tens of thousands to just two.
And after reorganizing the government, abolishing the powerful officials, suppressing the emperor's relatives, and severely attacking the local tyrants and evil gentry, more than one-third was recovered.
Such a large amount of income is used for people's livelihood, and the effect is naturally immediate.
It is precisely because of this that the public dissatisfaction that was so boiling within Datang that it only needed a fuse to explode was gradually calmed down.
After that, it’s time to shift attention and conflicts outside.
After all, except for the Confucian turbans, everyone in the world knows that the best way to divert conflicts is to move them outside.
Compared with the inconspicuous Silla and Fusang, who worshiped the Tang Dynasty extremely, Li Yunze's eyes were first on Tianzhu, but on the fertile land of Central Asia.
The Silla side is very simple. Zhang Shougui can solve it by just leading his troops.
Since the Tang people liked Silla maids so much, they should get them all.
As for Fuso, they have to wait, because the unparalleled naval force during the Battle of Baijiangkou has disappeared by now.
Before rebuilding the navy, Fusang could only use economic and trade methods to extract gold and silver.
As for the savages on the southern islands, they don't even need a large army to attack them. They just need to keep sending exploration teams and learn from the American way of treating the Indians.
The only one who can truly become a serious opponent is the rising black food in the west.
The Battle of Permanent Ross in history has always been an unsettling battle.
Among the many wars between Datang and Dashi, they lost this one.
And it was also caused by the betrayal of Tu Qishi and Ge Luolu.
Although Gao Xianzhi quickly regained his position, the Anshi Rebellion that followed completely interrupted the Tang Dynasty's opportunity to move from sea to sea and become a giant Tang.
They even lost the Western Region for this reason and waited until the Ming Dynasty to take it back.
The westward expansion of the Middle-earth dynasty was always interrupted by internal disputes.
So this time, Li Yunze was determined to completely settle the interior, and then use all his strength to head west.
Li Yunze doesn't plan to continue building the railway this time. He plans to follow tradition and try to see if he can achieve the feat of an emperor through the ages without being a fool.
To achieve this, the most important thing is to colonize the Western Regions.
The army needs food and grass, and transporting food and grass from the Guanzhong area of Chang'an City to the front line of Henglus and transporting food and grass directly from the Western Regions to the front of Henglus are two completely different concepts.
The transportation loss for thousands of miles is even more than what was transported!
Therefore, if you want to go all the way west, you must colonize the Western Regions.
In fact, the Western Region is not the imagined landscape of deserts and poplar forests. It is actually very wealthy and fertile.
The land in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is extremely fertile and very suitable for farming.
Otherwise, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, we worked tirelessly to recover the Western Regions. Do you really think it was just for raisins?
During the Han and Tang dynasties, they knew that they needed to expand outward and compete for fertile land. It’s not like after the headscarves came to power, they felt that what they had was enough for them to exploit.
The Tang Dynasty began to recruit immigrants nationwide, and the conditions offered were only slightly worse than those for Tibet.
The government not only distributed tolls and food, clothing and chews on the road, but also immediately distributed one hundred acres of land after arriving in the Western Regions, including fields, mountains, forests and even lakes.
And this payment is based on head count, even if your children are still wearing crotchless pants, they will still have one hundred acres!
In fact, even what is carried in the belly counts!
Adoption is fine too.
The only requirement is that before the child grows up, it will be in escrow, and after the age of eighteen, it will be directly assigned to the child's name, regardless of male or female.
If unfortunately it dies young, it will be taken back.
As soon as such good conditions came out, the Tang Dynasty people immediately started a trend.
One is trying desperately to have a baby, as long as she can get pregnant.
The twins held a feast, the triplets offered incense to their ancestors, and the quadruplets offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.
No other strategy to encourage having children is as good as this.
One child has one hundred acres of land, just busy making children all day long.
This also indirectly led to the girl's status rising and the amount of bride price soaring.
There is also a trend of adopting abandoned babies. After all, one child can occupy a hundred acres of land, and it can also increase the number of people in the family.
A boy has 100 acres of land, and a girl not only has 100 acres of land, she can even earn a generous betrothal gift when she grows up and gets married.
After the news came out, the previously popular thing about infanticide suddenly disappeared, and children became the most precious existence.
Naturally, some people in the court said that the gift was too much.
Li Yunze ignored this.
He knows very well that talent is the foundation of everything.
If you don't have enough manpower, it won't matter if you occupy the whole world. Only one person can have everything.
Not only here in the Western Regions, but also in Tianzhu, Central Asia and even all over the world in the future. Only by desperately encouraging an increase in population can the places where the Tang army's cavalry go can truly become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Everything is people-oriented!
Li Yunze himself was also personally contributing to increasing the population of Datang.
With his hard work, Yang Yuhuan finally got it again.
The whole world was looking forward to the birth of the heir to the Tang Dynasty, but it turned out to be another princess.
Yang Yuhuan was really depressed. She was full of expectations but was disappointed. The whole world's expectations were pressing on her. If Li Yunze hadn't treated the princess so well, she would have shed tears and fallen into depression.
Many people began to write letters and express their hope that His Majesty could attract beauties from all over the world and contribute to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yunze ignored this at all.
If he attracts a beautiful woman, there will be a bachelor among the people. For Li Yunze, who wants to be an emperor this time, this is something he will never agree to.
And with Yang Yuhuan, one of the four beauties, by her side, what kind of beauty would she need?
No matter how beautiful a girl is, can she be more beautiful than Yang Yuhuan?
And in the final analysis, they are just boring, mechanical telescopic movements.
In order to give Yang Yuhuan confidence, Li Yunze immediately gave him another injection and medicine to treat his heart disease without hesitation.
A few months later, as expected, Yang Yuhuan was happy again.
