Chapter 166: The Emperor Returns to the Mountain

Because of the [Wujimen] system, they hoarded grain and prepared for disasters on a large scale through various means, and opened various factories and mining workshops to close the relationship between displaced migrant workers.

Originally, at the end of the first year of Zhenguan in history, the extremely desolate original Chang'an City and now Taiji City seemed to be extremely prosperous.

Not only did the people of Chang'an live and work in peace and contentment, and they had no worries about food and clothing, but none of the displaced people who sold their children and daughters in exchange for food and clothing because of lack of food in history finally paid for the children and returned them to their parents, and none of them were affected by cold and starvation.

I don't know how much manpower is needed to build a water and land transportation network, and no matter how many people come, there is still effort to let those homeless people wander around the streets to ask for food?

If you want to eat, come to the craftsmen of [Tiangongmen] to help you work, three meals a day, better than the previous New Year's food, the homeless people have grown fat?

The craftsmen of [Tiangongmen], although they inherited the "construction method and craftsmanship" passed down by Bai Yuqi, but after all, the "cultivation" is too low.

Not to mention that they are like Bai Yuqi, a living immortal, who has risen from the ground with a wave of his hand, and they can't even catch up with [disciples] like Sun Simiao and Qi Hui.

Therefore, only limited mana can be used on the blade, such as opening tunnels, building bridges in the water, etc., which are difficult for others to complete, while ordinary laborers are responsible for leveling the ground, building roadbeds and other hard work.

In addition, the "Inland Water Caoyun Joint Stock Company" sent a large number of flat-bottomed grain carriers towed by steamships.

Ignoring the obstacles of the river and the counterflow, he continued to travel between the south and Guanzhong, and transported back a large amount of grain to solve the problem of grain shortage in Guanzhong.

The Guanzhong economy was stimulated by the water flow transportation network, which quietly eliminated the hidden danger of locust plague in the coming year, and instead revitalized the entire Gyeonggi region.

In terms of people's livelihood, there is Bai Yuqi, the Wuji Emperor, to help, and there is no need for Li Shimin to worry about it.

In addition, Bai Yuqi helped him convince the stubborn father, and the father and son reconciled and calmed down the family problems.

This allowed Li Shimin to devote more energy to government affairs and military affairs, and before the first month of the new year, he made drastic decisions one after another.

Bai Yuqi was not interested in mixing Li Shimin's military and political affairs, so after the belief in building a new Chang'an subsided, he prepared to return to Kuyu City.

First, it has been a while since I left Zhongnan Mountain, and it is time to go back to harvest a wave of accumulated faith.

The second is the [Shennongmen] disciple who stayed in Kuyu City, and he also needs to go back to personally preside over the upcoming spring ploughing.

This is the most important thing in the next two years, whether the people of Guanzhong will be able to survive the locust plague and floods, and whether Datang will be able to prosper and increase its population in the future.

Although transporting grain by water solves some of the grain problems, it is not as safe as producing stable grain in the local area.

Bai Yuqi, the Wuji Emperor, wanted to return to the mountain, which naturally alarmed the government and the opposition.

Not only did a large number of heavenly craftsmen and the people of the imperial capital send them off, but even the emperor personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to bid farewell.

To say that Bai Yuqi, who has returned to the appearance of a young man about twenty years old, is very different now.

Not only did hundreds of disciples shout and hug each other, but along the way, there were also a large number of people and homeless people who bowed down and bowed down in order to thank him for solving the salt shortage and grain shortage, so that everyone could have a good year and the grace of life.

Li Shimin took hundreds of officials out of the city and sent them off for ten miles.

It's not that it's too polite and too formal, but in Bai Yuqi's team back to the mountain, there are still his father and brother-in-law.

Li Yuan, who had untied the knot in his heart, in order to follow Bai Yuqi to learn "Imperial Road Cultivation", naturally Bai Yuqi went wherever he went, and by the way, he also left Chang'an, the imperial capital of the imperial city where even his name had been changed and had nothing to do with him.

And the eldest grandson Wuji is because he is particularly close to Li Shimin.

He is not only the brother of the eldest grandson queen but also the first merit of Xuanwu, so he was criticized by other ministers in the court for being too favored.

Although Li Shimin trusts and reuses it very much, the eldest grandson Wuji himself is also worried that being too favored will be detrimental to his body, and sooner or later something will happen.

Therefore, he simply used Empress Changsun to blow the pillow wind, and persuaded Li Shimin to remove himself from his right servant position and reassign him to the fictitious title of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions.

happened to encounter the Emperor Taishang who wanted to return to Nanshan with Emperor Wuji to practice, so he simply served as an entourage chief and took the opportunity to stay away from the political whirlpool of the Taiji Imperial Capital, so as not to provoke fire.

Of course, having said that, but whether the eldest grandson Wuji secretly has any other hidden tasks is up to the benevolent and the wise.

Although the two Li father and son untied their hearts and reconciled, it was forgivable for Li Yuan to "forgive" his son, and he could still be expected to forgive these instigators around his son?

Along the way, Li Yuan didn't even pinch Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji didn't make fun of himself in front of the old man, and the two of them acted as if they didn't see each other.

As for Li Shimin, although he cried his father again, he was really relieved, and it was not possible to let the old man go out casually, so as long as he could maintain the apparent harmony.

Bai Yuqi is not interested in this hook and loss, anyway, it is none of his business.

With the eldest grandson Wuji and hundreds of noble disciples of Wuji Gate staring, no matter whether Li Yuan took the opportunity to get out of the cage or not, he couldn't make trouble looking for a chance to make a comeback.

How can the previous emperor have the current emperor's envoy, Li Shimin probably knew this before he dared to let his father out of the city, in addition to trusting Bai Yuqi not to hook up with his father, sending the eldest grandson Wuji to Li Yuan's side is estimated to be a precautionary measure that is not afraid of 10,000.

Bai Yuqi is not a person who talks about rules and etiquette, and no one dares to ask him to abide by ordinary rules and etiquette.

Therefore, a hasty arch of his hand is regarded as a farewell to the emperor, and the group returns to the mountain along the "Ku'an Expressway" connecting Kuyu City and Chang'an City.

In order to show filial piety, Li Shimin even contributed the dragon chaplain given to him by Bai Yuqi for Li Yuan's travel.

After all, the old man is also in his sixties, and he has been the emperor of the simple house for nine years, and he lives in the dormitory under grief and anger, smoking, drinking, and burning his head...... In short, it has been done for half a year, and the body has long been much worse than before.

And now that there are new chariots and smooth roads, the old man is honest and unceremonious, and naturally wants to enjoy it.

The old man took the car, Bai Yuqi was not good at riding, so he could only ride with him, or the group would travel lightly, and it would not take long to return to Kuyu City, which was like now, and could only swing slowly on the road.

may have been locked up in the deep palace, and he was finally released for a walk.

The old man looked particularly excited, energetic and full of red light through the glass window of the dragon chariot, greedily looking at everything along the way, but there was a trace of loss in his expression.
