846 Li Er's bad taste
Chang'an City in the afternoon, far more lively than in the morning, which stems from the two habits of the official and folk of the Tang Dynasty, the official is to work in the morning, rest in the afternoon, and there is a full day of rest every ten days, while the folk is purely open in the afternoon to trade, three years ago this is no longer an official compulsory order, but Chang'an City is too big, the means of transportation are too backward, and it takes a lot of time to transport the goods from the place of purchase to the east and west two cities, There are also some fresh fruits and vegetables that need to be purchased in the suburbs early in the morning and then transported back to Chang'an City for sale, and there is no time to catch up, so they can only start trading in the afternoon.
In fact, it is not that there are no officials who propose to expand the east and west cities because of the skyrocketing commercial taxes, or add markets to facilitate transactions between the people, increase taxes, and replace the declining agricultural taxes.
But even so, Zhenguan ten years of Chang'an City is far from Zhenguan four years of Chang'an City can be compared, from Zhenguan eight years, Chang'an City began a large-scale civil engineering, moving not the imperial city, but the entire Chang'an City, Chang'an City's population has increased, the floating population is more, almost reached three times the permanent population, in order to ensure the needs of so many people, Chang'an City had to begin to expand.
Anyway, Datang is now rich and rich, and it is just used, and the recruits are basically standing guards and prisoners of war, and the standing guards are armed to guard the prisoners of war. In order to expand Chang'an City, Li Er's Majesty decided to add one to the original arrangement of Chang'an Outer City, Inner City, and Imperial City, and around the outer city, there was a circle of taller, thicker, and harder city walls, turning the outer city into an inner city, and the inner city into a central city, and the imperial city was still an imperial city.
Especially after the birth of artillery, seeing the terrifying power, Li Erma had to take precautions. The requirements for new city walls are more stringent. The 200,000 prisoners of war worked day and night, that is, they did not have to pay wages, and they did not use the Tang Dynasty, so the people liked to see it. By the way, praise the great feat of the Tang Dynasty in abolishing forced labor. Put it in front of Sui. This is to be borne by the people, and it is obviously the second Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Originally, Li Er's Majesty was still a little distressed about the food needed for 200,000 prisoners of war, although the potatoes produced around Chang'an had a tendency to pile up when they were not sold in the ninth year of Zhenguan. But not all places are like this, and it is always unpleasant to give good food to prisoners of war, but after the imperial history reported the words of the people praising the emperor and the Tang Dynasty, Li Ermajesty Xià was fluttering, and the construction of the project can still be praised, he is the first one in the world, a happy, potatoes can be eaten!
Indeed, the super large yield of potatoes makes Chang'an around the area where potatoes were first planted have not been sold, at first I felt that this was auspicious, to buy a little more, the first to be given potatoes to the wealthy family also put potatoes in the ancestral shrine to worship the ancestors, as a result of a few years past, the baby has become a big road goods, ordinary people can buy a basket for a few pennies, and suddenly the potatoes are not much worth, but the attention is still quite important, the unique potato harvest priesthood around Chang'an City is still being held, very lively.
Li Ermaxi usually looks at the royal historians handed in the folds and also feels emotional, the first potato harvested every year will be placed on Li Erma's table to show him, so that he feels very happy, once upon a time to eat a bite of food is a luxury, to now, potatoes have become a big road goods, and there is a posture that cannot be sold, if any grain and agricultural products can reach this point, Datang can be regarded as truly rich.
It's just that potatoes are still far from enough, Li Erma hopes that the day when the meat will be more unsellable, in that case, even if the Tang Dynasty has not conquered all the lands in the world, he can close his eyes peacefully and hand over the world to his successor.
Nowadays, Li Erma's mood is still very good, although the news of the Northern Expedition of the Great Army and the western invasion of Goguryeo made him eat and sleep badly, but with the great victory of the Grassland Battle and the unexpected process of the Goguryeo Battle, he relaxed a lot, and in the process of being sent to the three kings as prisoners of war, Li Ermaxi even happily visited Chang'an City privately, pretending to be an ordinary nobleman, and rode around in a carriage in a crowded place like the East and West Second City and other places.
Seeing the stable life of the people of Chang'an and the ruddy face and the smile that he rarely saw before, he felt that what he had done was very worthwhile, his country was stable, his power and status were also stable, and when he saw a quarrel, he would stop the car and listen to the reason, and then he must listen to the final result of this matter, although the upper part of the imperial history also has these contents, but if he can see and hear it himself, he will feel more real.
Like a tiger patrolling his territory, he was constantly patrolling the imperial capital under his feet, the place where his rule was most secure, and this was the most important place where he could accept the feelings of the people in the world, and he felt very satisfied and happy.
Empress Changsun's belly is also getting bigger day by day, this pregnancy started at the beginning of the tenth year of Zhenguan, it has been two years since the last pregnancy Zhenguan eight years, the last daughter Princess Xincheng was born a few months later than another time and space, and the last Li Erma's favorite Princess Jinyang was born in the middle of Zhenguan seven years, and there was a gap between the two children for a while.
Empress Changsun's own illness was almost picked up by Sun Simiao, and her body was also well replenished, after banning the pill, her body did not continue to deteriorate, and she removed the toxins through a lot of medicine and food, and replenished the body, in this case, childbirth was also allowed, and after eight years of Zhenguan, she rested for more than a year, and finally became pregnant again in the tenth year of Zhenguan, which is not existed in another time and space, because there, Queen Changsun died in the tenth year of Zhenguan.
And now like this, it is estimated that there is still a long time to live, although he is not young, before Sun Simiao also built yì Empress Changsun can not think about giving birth when she is old, so as not to endanger her life. However, Empress Changsun felt that she was still young and could have another one, and promised that this was the last one and that she would not have any more children in the future.
Suning's heavenly reincarnation and going against the sky gave the eldest grandson queen a considerable shock, and after going back, the eldest grandson queen begged the Buddha to ask for the Tao to let herself give birth to the last one, whether it was male or female, as long as it was born, and then her wish was satisfied, so God fulfilled her, and she was pregnant at the beginning of the year. It's August. Seeing that there are about two months left to give birth, whether it is a man or a woman, Li Erma said that he is very happy.
Because the national fortune is good, and the people's feelings are good. The military situation is very good. Even his son is very competitive. He studied very hard, and he tried to handle government affairs very well, and he looked like him. He was in a good mood, and he didn't care if it was a son or a daughter, in his opinion, as long as it was born to the eldest grandson, it was the best.
Living with joy undoubtedly made him feel very comfortable, and when the three kings who were taken as prisoners of war came to Chang'an City one after another, he was more comfortable, or more refreshing, seeing that the majestic Ashina Ni who was heroic when he first saw him was now such an obsessive state, only promising to beg for mercy, without the heroic spirit of the beginning, he was a little regretful and guilty, after all, among the three kings, Ashina Ni was the only one who did not go against him, and honestly accepted the Tang Dynasty's Qiē Shi yàn, and now it is like this, It can't be said that there is no role of Li Erma's xià in it.
As for Yi Nan, he looked like he was lost and depressed, Li Er Xi à didn't feel anything for him, no bad feelings, and no good feelings, Xue Yantuo was cleaned up by the Tang Dynasty before he had time to go against the Tang Dynasty, but their resistance was also stronger, so that the Tang Dynasty army lost a little, Li Er Majesty Xi à reprimanded him, making Yi Nan even more depressed.
As for Gao Jianwu, who was brought from the royal capital by Suning with his wife and daughter, and was still dizzy and refused to recognize the reality, he was severely ridiculed by Li Erma, Li Ermaxi has this problem, he likes to ridicule his former enemies, especially those who have humiliated him or are stronger than himself, so after killing him, he will even snatch his wife over, which is also one of Li Erma's quirks.
Probably the desire to conquer is at work......
Gao Jianwu's wife, son, and daughter were brought in a pot, which was more in line with Li Erma's evil psychology, and with a wave of his hand, all his sons were sent into slaves and went to build the city wall outside Chang'an City! The daughter was sent to the court to study at a young age, and later became a singer and dancer, and the three beautiful ones who were old enough and out of place were ordered by Li Er Majesty to give the three biggest heroes of this time as slaves and maids, they were - Suning, Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Liang.
So before Suning himself knew it, the most beautiful of the three Goguryeo princesses was washed and sent to Su Mansion for nothing, and handed over to Li Ruihan, the eldest lady of the Su family and Suning's genuine wife, to be strictly controlled, and when Suning came back, it was almost well controlled, and it was okay to enjoy.
At this point, Li Ermaxi has the good quality of being blessed and sharing difficulties with his courtiers, but this behavior seems to be lacking in morality and etiquette, so when Li Ermaxi was about to make a move on Gao Jianwu's arrested concubines with a smile that you understand, Wei Zheng appeared in time.
A "minister has something to do" blocked Li Ermaxi in the study, the door of the study was closed, and all the entourages were driven away, and he didn't come out for a whole hour, no one knew what he said, after coming out, Wei Zheng looked like a victor, and Li Ermaxi was depressed with a big loss, and then announced that all these women would be rectified and rewarded to other meritorious scholars and meritorious generals who were about to return, Even the little princesses who originally planned to be trained to become dancing girls and singers were ordered to be rewarded after they learned well.
Li Ermaxi didn't catch any of them......
Anyway, that's probably the case, Gao Jianwu finally woke up, and saw that the women around him were taken away one by one, and his son and daughter were also taken away, the helpless shouts and cries for help made Gao Jianwu finally understand where he was, and it was useless to roar with all his strength, Li Erma Xià enjoyed it very much, and watched the play while drinking tea.
Li Ermajesty smiled and comforted the two of them - although you are both guilty, it is better to admit it, so you will be exempted from your sins, and your wives and children will not be punished, but those who resist will not be let go, and go to the city! The two of you should also go and learn dance with Jieli, and you will need to dance together at next year's court! Study hard, I won't be hungry for you! Hahahahaha!
As for Gao Jianwu, Li Erma looked at him coldly, with infinite happiness in his heart, with a cruel smile, with a wave of his hand, Li Erma Xià ordered Gao Jianwu to be given to Zhao Chen, and let Zhao Chen do what should be done, as for what should be done, you know......
At this time, Suning's request for the Tang army to collectively evacuate the Liaodong Peninsula was sent over, Li Ermajesty looked at the letter with a stern face, was silent for a long time, picked up a pen and wrote a big quasi-word, and then ordered to pass this reply to Suning as quickly as possible with a thousand miles of urgency, and asked him to prepare as much as possible.
We're going to get busy again! (To be continued......)
