The next day, the Tang Dynasty will start normally, but I don't know why, but I always feel that nothing big happens this year, at least that's how Li Shimin feels.
But you said there are not many things. This year, Li Shimin feels that he is extremely tired and has many things to do. And it is not just Li Shimin. The three provinces and six departments are all extremely busy this year. In many cases, if they are not busy, there are many things at the bottom. , layer upon layer of memorials were processed, and the three provinces and six ministries were busy even if they didn’t want to!
Because if they are not busy, things will pile up continuously, and it will be too late to deal with them by then.
This makes work very busy this year! It can be said that as officials in the three provinces and six ministries became busy, Li Shimin could not have any leisure time.
As for why he is so busy, it is of course because of a series of measures taken by Li Ke, such as the promotion of animal power among the people by Li Ke, because a lot of animal power among the people is leased by the government to the people, and these animals want to be bred. If so, someone from the government will be responsible.
Secondly, Li Ke's Yuelai Trading Company signed a contract with the people to grow hemp, mulberry and other textile crops. These things are fed back to the people, whether for tax purposes or other aspects, and require local officials to make statistics.
The other is the establishment of schools. Now schools are being built all over the Tang Dynasty. The construction speed of these schools is very fast, because the schools in this era are different from those in later generations. After returning, many businessmen even directly took some of their qualifying courtyards. Come out and then it can serve as a school.
With the arrival of teachers sent by Li Ke through Yuelai Trading Company, these schools gradually began to recruit students. Of course, these local officials had to report.
Because the biggest family that hindered the establishment of the school is no longer in the way, then of course these officials, who are basically from various wealthy families, know what to do.
If the top ministers of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City could not care about their own families, or they could start a family alone, then these seventh- and eighth-level officials had no choice. They could only follow the orders of their families.
So my family is following His Highness King Qin, so of course they have to follow.
Then those rivers needed to be dredged, and Yuelai Trading Company began to purchase iron ore, copper mines, limestone mines, coal mines, etc. for local construction tasks.
Taken together, many of these things are very cumbersome, so the entire Datang, from the bottom to the top, is extremely busy.
Li Shimin was discussing matters with many ministers in the court hall. Suddenly, a guard's report came from outside: "Your Majesty, the memorial and related documents sent by His Majesty the King of Qin from Lingnan Road."
Ministers: "..."
They had seen those two maps and related documents, and Li Shimin had seen them with them, but the first two maps were separated by a month, and now they are here again in half a month?
Is this... is it over?
"Xuan." Li Shimin said simply.
The guards immediately turned around and left. The ministers in the court had no special reaction, but were all waiting for Li Ke's memorial, His Highness King Qin's memorial. Can there be anything ordinary?
Soon, a guard entered the Tai Chi Hall with sealed things. Li Shimin directly asked Chang Lin to take the things over, open the box, remove the fire paint and other sealing things inside, and put a special map on top. of.
Li Shimin was completely speechless when he saw this map. Why don't you leave it here for me to play the map expansion game?
When the map was opened, Li Shimin noticed the special red color. The map added background colors according to different countries, and Datang was the conspicuous red. The previous Datang was just on the large island of Luzon in Nanyang. dyed red.
When the map was taken out, Li Shimin noticed that the densely packed islands next to Luzon Island were all dyed red.
The most important thing is that the small country of Dandan Kingdom was marked on the previous map. Now it has disappeared. It has been changed to Lizi Island and Lizi Port, and the part between the two islands next to it is A brand new name: Lizi Strait.
Li Shimin; "..."
Why don't you name it after your father? Li Shimin was somewhat agitated. Am I your biological father?
"Everyone, let's take a look." Li Shimin threw the map out angrily. He didn't want anyone to have a headache. Do you think the three provinces and six departments wouldn't have a headache?
They have a terrible headache. In these places, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Lingnan Road was already a place of exile before. If you follow His Highness's method... Lingnan Road will almost become the center. Exile is a fart!
The two little eunuchs unfolded Li Ke's map to its maximum size with ease, and then slowly walked past the court officials with it. All the officials were speechless looking at the ever-expanding red color of Nanyang.
For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say. This... It's a good thing that Tang Dynasty has more countries, but it seems that another country has disappeared?
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Fang Xuanling stood up from his seat.
"Ai Qing, please speak." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that Your Highness opened up and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It is an unprecedented good thing. However... I wonder if Your Majesty can show us the memorial submitted by His Highness. The main reason is that the Tang Dynasty rashly expanded so much area. Our three provinces If the Sixth Department does not know the details, it will be difficult to make follow-up arrangements." Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile.
He feels that if this continues, his life will be shortened by ten years. This job... is not done by humans.
Of course, there are challenges, but... look at this work, is it something humans do? Your Highness went out for a trip. Oh my god, the country of Tang Dynasty is expanding like a pig's bladder. Is there such a thing?
"Okay, Chang Lin, just read it." Li Shimin thought for a while and simply waved his hand. He could probably understand Fang Xuanling and the others' resentment.
Li Ke was relieved. He occupied the place, and then everything was thrown away. This place was subordinated to the Tang Dynasty. Good guy, do you know how much work will follow? Just the naming, level, population and resource registration of these places, subsequent immigration arrangements, appointment and dismissal of officials, policy implementation...
Li Shimin is a little bald, but fortunately, he is an emperor, so this matter can be left to the people in Shangshu Province.
"Yes!" Chang Lin was calm. Before His Highness King Qin went out, Chang Lin probably knew that things were not that simple. Isn't this a routine operation now? Although... it seems a bit outrageous. Two countries have been destroyed, although it seems to have nothing to do with His Highness King Qin.
But if His Highness the King of Qin doesn’t go to Nanyang, it will be okay for them to exist for hundreds of years. His Highness the King of Qin will go and destroy two countries. Good guy, it’s a gift from God, right?
