Chapter 611: Heaven is set for four years
Although Li Xin now has only one son and daughter, Li Xin did not make him the crown prince. The main consideration is that I don't want this little guy who is only three years old to bear such a heavy responsibility. After all, once this title is established, I am afraid that many things will be completely different. At a young age, what he will face is no longer a normal childhood, but the road to start learning immediately.
This should be a little selfishness on his part as a father! Even if you want to make a prince, you should wait until the child is older.
Of course, the ministers' worries are still right, after all, there is only one son, which is not a good thing for Kunimoto. Therefore, either we should hurry up and have a few more, or we should immediately set the name, and we will save any accidents in the future and make the country uneasy.
Just now, a few years ago, Shi Yiqian sent ten daughters of the Daiguo clan over, and the ministers played together, asking them to be accepted as concubines to open up the branches and leaves of the Tang royal clan. After Li Xin thought about it, he finally chose to take a concubine between the prince and the concubine.
However, after he saw the ten women, he only selected three of them, and the remaining seven were all put in the harem to serve Zhou Ting. Now, everyone is counting on him to have more children as soon as possible, so that the entire Tang Wang bloodline can become prosperous.
In a flash, the New Year was over, and the fourth year of Tianding began, in the year 363 AD. In February, Jiangzuo changed the yuan again, and now it is the first year of Xingning, and the world is amnesty.
Regarding this news, Li Xin just shook his head and laughed.
After all, the ruling power of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court is so rotten, what problems can be solved just by changing the yuan, just by relying on amnesty again and again? If you have this time, it is better to change the deep-seated ills and solve the problem of the gate lord clan, so that it is possible to make Jiang Zuo strong.
However, this is obviously impossible, and it is not something that Li Xin needs to care about.
After a year of relative stability last year, all local officials, including Daikoku, have finally taken up their posts. The number of people who have migrated from various places has also increased a lot, and the number of restored old counties in the territory has also reached more than 20.
Because of the surrender of the country, there were many envoys from various ethnic groups to the court last year, and the whole Chang'an was very lively for a while. Because many of these people are very different from the appearance of the people of the Central Plains, and they are very new in the eyes of the people.
Moreover, with the arrival of these teams, there are some special things that make the entire Chang'an a lot more colorful. Chang'an City, which was already very prosperous, has naturally become more prosperous.
However, for those people of all ethnic groups from outside, today's Chang'an City can indeed shock them. Just this scale, this momentum, in terms of today's four seas, is definitely second to none.
In addition, Li Xin's requirements for urban sanitation have been extremely high over the years, so the entire Chang'an City is very clean. After all these years of recovery, there are many pedestrians on the streets, and there is a constant flow of merchants from all walks of life.
People on the avenue are next to each other, and it can really be regarded as walking side by side. Such a scene directly made some people who came to Chang'an for the first time completely lost here and planned to live for a long time.
It is believed that with the departure of these people, the name of Chang'an will inevitably spread all over the world again. At that time, visitors from all over the world will gather here, and the grand scene of Chang'an, the capital of the Son of Heaven, will inevitably reappear in the world again.
It is also because of the gradual increase in the number of foreign envoys from afar, especially the main foreign envoys to Chang'an, it is no longer so appropriate to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to deal with this matter as before.
Therefore, Li Xin decided to add another Honglu Temple, and the supervisor was to receive foreign guests. Of course, this is for the Gentiles.
As for those who belong to the various tribes, they are still managed by the departments under the Ministry of Rites. After all, in a sense, they are already the people of Datang, so naturally they can't be regarded as foreign affairs.
The most important one is that Li Zhi established the principle of reciprocity of tribute. If you come to pay tribute, I can give you the equivalent of what you have brought in if you come to pay tribute, but it is absolutely impossible to double it for you.
After all, this kind of practice of making himself suffer purely for the sake of face, Li Xin would not have done it if he was beaten to death. Whenever he thought of the dynasties of later generations, he was often taken advantage of by some people who ate tofu and exchanged some broken copper and iron for a lot of gold and silver treasures, and Li Xin was indignant about this.
After all, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and he needs money everywhere in Datang, where can he give it to those people for nothing. If you can give a reciprocal reciprocal, it will already give them a lot of face, and you dare not make an inch!
At the beginning of the new year, Datang has been developing at full capacity. After the previous year's preparations, a lot of work will be officially launched this year. Now in Datang, it is like a huge construction site, and there is a lot of work everywhere.
Especially in the area of Daizhou, there is intense construction everywhere. However, due to the different circumstances, it is obvious that the construction of the city there cannot be like that of the mainland, and it is still necessary to build a city suitable for the north according to local conditions.
But even so, the consumption of materials over there is extremely staggering. Therefore, several farms in the Shuofang area are almost day and night transporting supplies to the grassland. However, these materials are basically sent directly to various construction sites, and then distributed.
Ordinary Hu people can't get half of it at all. If they wanted, they either went to work on the construction site and got it in the form of a pay, or they went to the field to get it with cattle, sheep and horses.
Basically, a complete trade chain is formed. As a result of the availability of more farms, the resources obtained by these places have also begun to be sent back to the hinterland, which in turn has promoted the production and development of the hinterland. For example, ploughing cattle is something that Datang urgently needs.
For example, because the demand for salt has increased greatly, the household department has begun to order a large increase in production. At the same time, there are many other important materials that have increased production, in short, under this wave of large-scale production, Datang has made life prosperous, and everyone has work to do.
The more things people can do, the more money they can make, and the more money they can work with, the more money they can make, and the more money they can do, the market will naturally prosper.
This, in turn, can promote production and circulation. Especially for the small producers, who occupy a major position, this is an additional way for them to provide for their families.
As long as the vast majority of people can settle down, the whole country will basically be in chaos, and even if the remaining people want to make trouble, it is unlikely that they will succeed.
Taking advantage of the relatively low prices in the market, Li Xin secretly ordered both the household department and the military department to start stockpiling relevant materials. In addition to those things in the existing official warehouses and military warehouses, a new batch of warehouses was set up in the name of regular liquidation.
On the surface, the role of these warehouses is to release the amount of energy when prices are too high, so as to stabilize prices. But in fact, this was Li Xin's preparation for the destruction of the Yan Kingdom. In addition to the most important food, the rest of the warehouse is ordnance and supplies.
Whether it is the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of War, several workshops are already at full capacity, and a large number of brand-new equipment has been quietly transported to the warehouse and hoarded.
At the same time, after a year, all the town troops in Datang were finally regularized and directly included in the regular army.
After the Ministry of War and Li Xin discussed, these soldiers and horses were basically deployed in their respective positions. Basically, the one with the most troops is naturally the Taihang line.
On the side of Zhao Ji in Henan, 50,000 troops are already in place. From within Yanmen Pass to Hanoi County, Liu Xiaohai also has 50,000 troops under his command, and the rest is outside Yanmen Pass, and Liao Chuan's line has now reached 60,000 troops.
However, Liao Chuan's soldiers and horses along the way were not only against the Yan army, but also shouldered the defense of the Great Wall in the north, and the troops were naturally more relatively large.
But in any case, on this line of confrontation with Yan State, Li Xin deployed 160,000 troops, which was already nearly half of the regular army of the entire Tang Dynasty.
However, if you talk purely in terms of military strength, Datang's military strength is really not comparable to the Yan State opposite. Because of the strong pressure, in order to resist the Tang army, the total number of troops deployed by the Yan State on this line reached more than 300,000.
Especially in the area around Yecheng, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses who directly confront the Tang army, not to mention the soldiers and horses guarding outside the capital city. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty has contained the soldiers and horses of the entire Yan Kingdom here, and at the same time, it has also caused a heavy burden to the Yan Kingdom.
In May, it was the summer harvest season, and the latest news came from Jiangzuo's side, and Huan Wen was promoted again.
This time, the Jiangzuo Imperial Court gave him the addition of officials and servants, Da Sima, the governor of Chinese and foreign armies, and the recording of Shangshu, fake Huang Yue! This is really a high power, basically speaking, the entire court except for the emperor and the crown prince, he is the biggest.
Especially in terms of real power, a governor of the Chinese and foreign armies means that he is in charge of the entire Jiangzuo military power.
Of course, in terms of the current situation in Jiangzuo, the local soldiers and horses are basically similar in nature to private soldiers. It's one thing whether people listen to it or not, but at this time, Huan Wen ordered Jiang Zuo's soldiers and horses, at least in a moral name.
And the repeated kindness of the Jiangzuo court to Huan Wen is obviously because those people have no way to restrain him. Therefore, it can only be relied on this method to win over the other party, at least so that Huan Wen does not directly rise up to rebel.
And beside Huan Wen, there are also a lot of talented people! is like Wang Tanzhi before, this time he was promoted to the position of Changshi, Peng Xichao became a member of the army, and Wang Xun was the main book, and Xie Xuan also served under him.
