(The end of the previous chapter was wrong, firstly, the ancient march was not so fast, and secondly, according to historical records, the army should have arrived in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan...... Excuse me. Try to make it up to the next level. ）

Arriving in Gaochang does not mean that war is about to start.

Well, in fact......

From the Western Regions to Chang'an, even if it is a fast horse to change horses, it will take more than ten or twenty days, if you are not in a hurry, it will take at least a month, so the news that Han Lucheng received is just an "estimate".

To put it bluntly, it is the result of judging by the speed of the march of the army.

So after understanding this, Li Yuanjia could only wait patiently for the follow-up battle report in addition to looking at the west from afar and secretly praying that Huang Ren and them would not make any trouble-anyway, there is nothing to say about the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Gaochang itself, it must be a big victory, it depends on the results of Wang Han's experiment.

At present, the focus is still on the upcoming Yuanri Meeting.

The first day, also known as the day of the three yuan, is the yuan of the year, the yuan of the time, and the yuan of the month.

After crossing over, Li Yuanjia learned that it was not until the time of the Western Han Dynasty that the first month of the year was set as the first of the year, and the first day of the first month of the first month was set as the new year. Later, the day before the New Year was called Chinese New Year's Eve, which is "the day when the month is exhausted."

For Datang, Yuan Zhengri is also one of the most important days of the year.

Around the New Year, there will be a holiday.

So sometimes Li Yuanjia can't help but wonder, did he also refer to the ancient settings when he had a seven-day holiday during the Spring Festival in his previous life? It's just that in the previous life, it was the first to the seventh of the first year, and then it was Chinese New Year's Eve to the sixth of the first year, and in the era of the Great Tang, it was only the first three and the fourth.

But for officials, this day cannot really be a holiday.

Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting, the Quartet to congratulate!

So on the last day of the year, when the envoy of Luzhou Thorn History, that is, Li Lingkui, the king of Xu, came to visit and respectfully sent a large number of gifts, Li Yuanjia was not surprised and was very happy.

"Hehe, you go down first!"

After caring about his younger brother's body, Li Yuanjia waved his hand with a smile and said, "Remember to bring someone with you when you leave after the New Year, and I will prepare some daily things for King Xu...... Well, in addition, I will send a few more craftsmen over to build some things for King Xu's Mansion. ”

"Yes, my lord."

For such an order, King Xu's envoy naturally did not dare to object, and while immediately bowing down, he couldn't help but show a hint of envy in his eyes.

It was given by King Han, it must be a good thing!

As a confidant of King Xu Li Lingkui, he is very familiar with this King of Han, and knows that this master has to send things to his king several times a year - in addition to some daily things, the most enviable thing is undoubtedly the fresh things made by those craftsmen in King Han's mansion!

Therefore, King Xu's subordinates all know that although they are far away from Chang'an, there is never a shortage of the freshest and best things in Chang'an City in Luzhou, and some are even earlier than Chang'an.

This time, nature is no exception.

After all, it is the New Year, and according to the previous practice, there will definitely be no shortage of good things sent by King Han.

With full anticipation, the envoy went back to prepare for the Yuan Ri court. And Li Yuanjia waited for the other party to leave, and asked casually: "Han Lucheng, are all the things I asked you to prepare?" ”

"If you go back to the king, you are ready."

Taking a deep breath, Han Lucheng nodded helplessly-he was very distressed, but he knew that no matter what he said, it was useless, because the king was never stingy with his own mother's brother and brother, and it was useless to say anything at this time.

That's just dozens of glasses and two mirrors, what is it?

And if these things are sold out, they will be at least a few thousand, but the real value is geometric, and Han Lucheng, the chief housekeeper of the palace, knows it......

"Alright, let's send them over together when they leave!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Li Yuanjia picked up the letter and gift list that the man had brought just now, and said with a smile: "But this time Lingkui has sent a lot of good things...... By the way, there's a box of books in it, you can ask someone to find it and bring it to me! ”

"Yes, my lord."

owed a debt, Han Lucheng hurriedly went out to find it.

And Li Yuanjia blinked his eyes, looking forward to it in his heart - after so many years, in fact, he has basically collected all the books that should be collected, and he is not too interested in the so-called solitary books that his brother sent someone to buy for him. But just after reading Li Lingkui's handwritten letters, the few books in that box are precious and abnormal, and they must not be lost!

It's just that others don't know about his thoughts, so Fang Fengzhu, who has been watching silently from the side, frowned and admonished: "King, the book that King Xu gave you will read another day." You're going to the court early tomorrow morning, and there's a lot to prepare! ”

For the mistress of the palace, it is undoubtedly the most important thing to prepare everything for her husband for tomorrow.

As a prince, a big man at the top of the pyramid of the Tang class, Li Yuanjia will be dressed up tomorrow to attend and wear a suit specially prepared for this day. Just putting on this dress will cost at least two pillars of incense, not to mention "dressing up", ordering gifts for the emperor in advance, and so on.

If something goes wrong, it is a trivial matter to be embarrassed, and it will be troublesome to make the emperor unhappy.

"Hehe, rest assured."

Patting his wife's little hand, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "I'll just take inventory, and it will be over soon." ”

"Uh......"

Rolling her eyes, Fang Fengzhu said helplessly: "King, what is it that makes you value it so much?" ”

Raising his eyebrows, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "It's the data I asked Lingkui to count in Luzhou, such as the impact of giving birth to a child on a woman's lifespan and so on...... Hehe, haven't you seen it before? ”

"Huh? Do you want to continue the statistics? ”

"Hehe, of course!"

After taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia nodded seriously and said: "You also understand this kind of thing, the number of people is not convincing, only when the number is large, can they understand the fact that for women, it is not that the sooner they have children, the better!" Even if you can't look at the mortality rate at the time of giving birth to the first child, you have to look at the mortality rate in the next ten years, twenty years or even longer, and the impact of how many children are born on life expectancy! ”

“……”

After listening to his words, Fang Fengzhu was suddenly silent.

Of course, she knew what it meant, because the last time she saw the statistics sent by King Xu, Li Yuanjia had already explained it to her in detail.

Those numbers are definitely shocking!

It's just that the traditional education she has received since she was a child has always made Fang Fengzhu suspicious - she doesn't know if these are true! In other words, does the death of those people have much to do with age!

So while feeling a little panicked, Fang Fengzhu suddenly wanted to see the numbers counted by King Xu.

And at this time, Li Yuanjia blinked and smiled: "So how can it be enough for just one or two years?" Don't talk about last year, this year, next year, as long as you can, these must be counted forever......"
