Gao Buyi locked himself in the imperial study for four or five days without leaving even half a step. He ate and lived in the imperial study. Only Shangguan Pei Hui stayed with him. Concubine Yang and Concubine Wang, also known as Wang Shuping, who was formerly Concubine Mei, Both of them sent people to greet them and wanted to meet each other, but they were sent back by Gao Buyi.
On the sixth day, after many revisions, Gao Buyi's first five-year plan for Datang came out.
"Hahaha! It's done! It's not in vain. Come to Hui'er and read it to me. I'll see where I need to revise."
"Yes! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Haha! Hui'er's voice is still so nice, Nian Nian!"
"Yes! The first five-year plan of the Tang Dynasty had four major contents. The first was to appease the refugees. The refugees had existed since the founding of the country, and the laws implemented in the past dynasties could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Soon after the refugees returned home, Became a refugee again. Today, there are no less than 400,000 refugees in the entire Tang Dynasty. As a result, thieves are rife in many places. The reason is that they are not good at farming and the land is scarce. Therefore, they need to find another place with fertile land suitable for farming to open up wasteland. .”
"How about it, Hui'er? Tell me your opinion."
"Your Majesty, refugees have actually existed in all dynasties and have never been extinct. The scarcity of land is just one of them. The most important thing is that they are not good at farming. The court assigned them land and they cannot support themselves and their families, so they will sell their land again. Become a refugee.”
"You are right, but there is still too little fertile land in Guanzhong. I know a wild land with fertile land. If we can successfully open up wasteland there, one acre of land can equal the harvest of two acres in Guanzhong."
"Is there such a good place in the world? Where is it?" Why did people often starve to death in the past dynasties? It was really because the farmers' taxes were too high and the harvest from the fields was limited. The Tang Dynasty is still relatively wealthy now, and the people are not. It's just that I can barely achieve the busy days and the slack days. Maybe there will be a small surplus of food left at the end of the year, which is already a good situation.
In feudal society, the common people's desire for land was no less than the pursuit of beautiful women by literati and poets.
Therefore, when Shangguan Pei Hui heard that there was such fertile land in the world, he couldn't help but lose his composure.
"Haha! I said yes, so don't worry, you will understand it slowly, and keep reading."
"Yes! The second is to restore people's livelihood, open up cultivated land, adapt to local conditions, and promote new grains, so that every household can have three meals a day and have a surplus of food every year. Your Majesty, even gods can't do this."
"Hahaha! What the gods can't do, I can do it with the man in front of you."
Looking at the narcissistic Gao Buyi, Shangguan Pei Hui instantly turned into a little fangirl. She believed in his words and nodded excitedly.
"continue!"
"The third is to appease the minds of scholars, open up academic disciplines, establish colleges, promote new learning, and apply what they have learned. The fourth is to expand the army, reorganize the army, and prepare the border." Shangguan Pei Hui finished reading in one breath, and Gao Buyi nodded with satisfaction.
"Hui'er, go back and ask Du Fu to copy this volume, have it framed, and hang it in the imperial study. I want to look at it every day and see if I can do these things well within five years. Supervise me. .”
"I don't dare!"
"Haha! I'm hungry. Let's eat. Today is a luxury. Let's have four dishes and one soup." Gao Buyi usually eats one dish and one meal.
Hearing that Gao Buyi wanted to eat, Shangguan Pei Hui immediately ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to get it.
Gao Buyi's calligraphy was quickly framed and sent in. He personally directed Shangguan Pei Hui to hang it in front of the Long Case so that it could be seen when he looked up.
"Your Majesty, the two noble concubines have sent people here several times, saying that they want to come to greet you." Taking advantage of Gao Buyi's happiness, Shangguan Pei Hui reported softly.
"Excuse me, I'm fine." Gao Buyi said casually, thinking that it wouldn't be a good idea to avoid her all the time, so he said: "Hui'er, please accompany me to the harem."
"yes!--"
Gao Buyi stepped out of the Xuanzheng Hall and accidentally met Du Fu at the door.
He immediately smiled and said: "Du Gongbu, you have something to do with me, come on, come on, please come in!"
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day. It's just a small matter for you. Just wait."
"Okay, tell me what it is." Seeing that he didn't move, Gao Buyi could only let him speak.
"On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Your Majesty said that you wanted to summon Li Bai -" Du Fu was urged to do nothing by Li Bai. At the same time, he was really anxious for Li Bai, so he took the opportunity to send a message to Gao Buyi today and came to the Xuanzheng Hall. , guarding to see him, ready to remind him.
In order to wait for the emperor's summons, Li Bai did not dare to drink any alcohol these days, and he did not think about food or tea.
"Oh oh oh! Damn it, I forgot in my busy schedule." Gao Buyi slapped his head and cursed, then quickly asked: "Is he still in Chang'an?"
"exist!"
"Okay, go and tell him that I will meet him at the Xuanzheng Hall in three days."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! I retire!" Hearing that the emperor was just too busy and not missing Li Bai, Du Fu's heart finally settled. The opportunity to become an old friend was finally coming!
When they arrived at the harem, the concubines who had already heard the news gathered in Fengming Hall to wait. This was what Gao Buyi meant. With so many people meeting one by one, it was best to go together when they met. It was lively when there were many people.
Concubine Wang didn't care about this, and even took care of the other concubines present. Concubine Yang was a little unhappy. She had been begging to see the emperor for so many days, and finally had the opportunity to meet him today. She planned to use this opportunity to talk about An Lushan's affairs. , my cousin has asked people to tell him many times, and there is no shortage of goods. It seems that today is going to be in trouble again.
Looking at the group of beautiful beauties in front of him, Gao Buyi felt a little uncomfortable. The women from the Tang Dynasty were too brave to wear them. It was still snowing in the weather, and they were wearing fur clothes with their chests half exposed. It looked like they were trying to welcome him. It was freezing to stand outside.
Gao Buyi said quickly: "It's cold, hurry in." After saying that, he quickly walked into Fengming Hall.
"We are all a family. We don't have to be like this from now on. We won't get cold anymore."
Hearing the emperor's concern, a group of concubines hurriedly thanked them. They were very lively. Looking at the room full of gorgeously dressed and beautiful women, Gao Buyi was panicked. Eighty-two people, these are all his daughters-in-law. , how to take care of it.
Seeing Gao Buyi, he didn't speak. A large group of beauties stared at him without speaking. After looking around, Gao Buyi suddenly noticed that there were a few shorter girls at the outside of the team, so he squeezed over and asked: " How old are you this year?"
"Your Majesty, I am fourteen years old."
Hearing this, Gao Buyi couldn't help but fainted. What kind of evil had he done? Then he asked several others who seemed to be about the same age. It turned out that everyone over sixteen years old was also his wife. What was this? .
"You guys, one, two, three... there are sixteen of you in total, are you all literate?"
"Return to your majesty! I am literate."
"Literate!"
Most of the women who could be selected to enter the palace were the children of princes and nobles. They came from serious scholarly families. Of course they were literate, otherwise how could they serve the emperor.
"Okay, okay! Just be literate. Starting from tomorrow, you will learn from me at the Taiye Pool Palace. After Datang College is established, you will be the first batch of teachers. Of course, it depends on whether you have the ability to be a good teacher. Sir."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I also want to participate in the study."
"What I teach is very boring."
"I am not afraid, I am."
"Okay! Count you in, what's your name?"
"Wang Shuping."
"Hmm!—a good name."
That's it? Wang Shuping was in a daze, what happened to the emperor?
Gao Buyi's mind was full of how to arrange for his large group of wives. At this time, he began to speak to everyone: "You can go and read if you want to learn. When you have nothing to do, you can also read more books and do some things." Female workers, if you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can do it. Don’t just look in the mirror and dress up every day. Over time, you will become depressed, which is not good for your health.”
