East Palace, Backyard, Shufang Hall.
In August of the 27th year of Zhenyuan, the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, and the late summer wind blew the wind chimes in the window.
It made a light sound, making people's restless hearts calm down.
Prince Xiao Yi was holding the plump beauty, as soft as a silkworm baby, in a trance. He raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Wen Ji, Yao'er, I will treat you well."
Last night, I had a banquet with all the officials, and they drank a little too much because they were happy.
Fortunately, the body has long been transformed by the energy of the golden elixir. Not only can one not get drunk after a thousand cups, but at the very least, a jar of Blue Bridge Fengyue will not be a problem.
But.
If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk.
Daqian's current prosperous era was created by him.
There are still some people who are somewhat complacent.
I can only say that after all, I am still a person. I can see the powerful empire I have built with my own eyes, watch all the people live and work in peace and contentment, and watch the fireworks and lights illuminate thousands of families. The feeling is really indescribable.
So, last night, I was very interested.
"Your Highness, Your Highness is awake. I, I will serve Your Highness." Yang Yuyao frowned and struggled to get up.
When Xiao Yi hugged each other closely, he could feel the beauty's discomfort, and comforted her gently: "Don't worry, there is no morning meeting today, even a mule must have time to rest. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, these days, I I also need to rest and stay with you.”
When Yang Yuyao heard this, she arched her eyebrows. Her delicate face was as red as the clouds, and became more and more like the beauty and fragrance of peonies. She snorted repeatedly in her nose and opened her mouth slightly.
How could this be so early in the morning...?
It was an indescribable feeling again, and the beauty let out a soft "hmm".
Xiao Yi gently approached the beauty's ear and whispered: "Yao'er, please keep your voice down."
He knew that Yang Yuyao also wanted a child now.
Yang Yuhuan is now having her second child and is about to give birth, and Cai Wenji has reached the age of childbearing and is very active now.
Yang Yuyao naturally didn't want to be left behind, so last night, these two beauties showed off their eighteen martial arts skills.
Now.
Xiao Yi planned to let Yang Yuyao eat alone first.
…
On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daqian established the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, allowing soldiers at the border, as well as ministers in the DPRK and China, as well as local officials to take the day off.
The holiday is seven days.
Although the construction of this official road is still under vigorous construction, the road is still far away.
However, they don't have to go back to their hometown, but can pick up the people from their hometown. For the soldiers in the border areas, the Ministry of War will also arrange groups of relatives and friends.
When families go to border areas, the imperial court provides free travel expenses, food and accommodation, just so that those soldiers who have not been home for several years can have their families visit them.
This national policy was unanimously approved by the ministers.
Although, at this time, there were already ideas and signs of scholar-bureaucrats and emperors ruling the world together.
However, it has not yet reached the stage of truly emphasizing culture over military affairs.
This can be regarded as a policy that benefits the country and the people, is also conducive to the stability of the border, and can stabilize the morale of the military.
The husbands naturally agreed.
After all, the thirteen envoys of the Thirteen Paths have not seen their families for some time.
No, they made a transfer in July.
I haven’t had time to pick up my family yet.
It just so happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an edict allowing the whole country to take a seven-day rest on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During these seven days, you only need to take your own rest. The government must have someone on duty, and major incidents must be prevented, and the tranquility and safety of the place must be ensured. Under these conditions, you can rest.
In the Di newspaper, I asked Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Jianzhi and others to write some descriptions of Yellow Crane Tower, White Horse Temple, Jiming Temple and other scenic spots, and encouraged the people of Daqian to go out and take a look during this festive season. .
Of course, ordinary people still want to make money and have two meals a day. If they don’t work, they may not even be able to eat meat at the end of the year.
Nowadays, pork has become the most important raw meat in Daqian.
There are also more cattle and sheep in the North.
But demand still exceeds supply.
Only wealthy people such as nobles, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries could afford it.
public.
That’s still economical pork.
Braised pig trotters, rendered lard, stir-fried pork liver, stir-fried pork with mustard greens, etc. are still very popular.
Standing on the Xuande Tower, looking from a distance, the Zhuque Street in Chang'an City is not only wide, but also very gorgeous.
The floor paved with fine white jade shines with a warm light.
Although the old city was renovated, it can be seen that it has been expanded a lot. The three main halls were built in sequence along the central axis.
The people on the street were really crowded.
The fireworks show last night is still vivid in my mind.
This is the great work of the prosperous age.
However, there is still a huge difference from the prosperous Daqian that Xiao Yi imagined.
But.
He is still young.
At thirty years old, and with the golden elixir still in his body, he should be able to live for a long time.
When he reaches old age, he will give up his position and devote himself to scientific research.
No, you can't fill up the technology tree.
But this time, there was someone beside him.
It was Dai Guang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Xiao Yi said slightly: "Why, what's the big deal?"
As soon as he heard it, he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed unhappy.
Of course, Dai Guang didn't know that his arrival had disturbed Yaxing, who had just gotten up from Wenrou Township and was standing here admiring Zhuque Street.
In fact, it means waking up angry.
Fortunately, Dai Guang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, is already familiar with him. He knows that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be too frightened even if he complains. He just said: "It's not a big deal to return to Your Highness. It's just that there is a large flow of people in this place, and some thefts and thefts have occurred. For things like theft and robbery, Dali Temple has increased manpower patrols, the Minister of Dali Temple is personally leading the team, and Mr. Di Ge and others have also left the city."
An edict.
This directly makes this Mid-Autumn Festival more lively than many people imagine.
In particular, many traveling students are traveling in groups at this time.
There are also many people who take advantage of the good time of the Mid-Autumn Festival to go out for fun or visit relatives and friends.
In the past, the imperial court controlled various checkpoints and deliberately controlled the flow of people.
In order to prevent the flow of people from being too large and causing local chaos, people should be imprisoned in their respective places.
Now, in order to stimulate consumption, in order to stimulate the economy, and in order to make the people gain a greater sense of happiness.
Xiao Yi directly ordered the abolition of the control of flow of people at the pass.
All localities only need to maintain order. Even if hundreds of thousands of people are traveling, each locality must inspect the safety of its own one-third of an acre.
When people travel, that is their freedom.
Xiao Yi said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Dai Guang didn't dare to say anything, thinking that you are His Highness and the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom unprecedented in history. Your reputation has reached an unrivaled peak. Who dares to disobey you?
But now that the common people are starting to go out of the city to visit the mountains and rivers, they, the officials, can only think of ways to maintain stability.
Otherwise, if any big accident happens, they will definitely be guilty of poor governance.
Fortunately, based on the data collected from various places, thefts and robberies did not cause any major accidents, and were all within control.
The key is that statistics from the Ministry of Revenue found that merchants made a lot of money during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
This year's autumn tax collection was much higher than in previous years.
I finally understood why His Royal Highness ordered the abolition of the ban and why he encouraged people to go out more often.
Think about it, when they go out, they just want to eat and drink. When they see some fresh products, do they also want to buy them back and use them?
How much money does it cost to come and go?
And those who spend the most money are actually the bachelors and the officials themselves. After all, it costs money to go home or take their families to the place where they report their duties.
And this kind of letting go has also allowed many people to feel what the real prosperous world is.
This kind of great work can be regarded as the real prosperous age.
There are a lot more bad people in the local area, and the local security has become a lot better. The existence of the supervisory censor and the royal guards has also weakened the darkness in the local area.
The sun shines.
Fireworks for all people.
Live and work in peace and contentment.
