Li Ye's current office is in the Wude Hall on the east side of the Taiji Palace.

It is adjacent to the East Palace, Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the prince Yong for the people of this palace to proclaim the edict, in the early Tang Dynasty Li Yuan gave Li Shimin to live in the Chengqian Palace, and gave Li Yuanji to live in the Wude Palace, at the beginning of the first year of the Xiantian Dynasty (712 years) Li Longji ascended the throne, he also listened to the government in this hall, it can be seen that the status is not ordinary.

At this time, although Li Ye was not a prisoner, he actually began to control the power of the imperial court.

Although Li Yi is now under house arrest in Daming Palace except for an important moment to show his face in the Taiji Palace.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to say that house arrest is a little inappropriate, it is actually what it is. Responsible for the security of the palace is Jinyiwei, this army is Li Ye's absolute cronies, and even more trusted by Li Ye than the Tiance Army.

It can be said that Li Yi was still an emperor in name at this time, but in fact he could not mobilize a single soldier.

Even so, Li Ye still did not move his office to the Taiji Palace, at least on the surface, he still respected Li Yi, the imperial brother.

The reason why I chose to work in Wude Palace, in addition to the proximity to the Taiji Palace, is that there are few good palaces in the area in front of the Taiji Palace.

During the occupation of Chang'an by the Huangchao army, the Taiji Palace was damaged, although it was repaired later, but after Li Keyong invaded Chang'an, the rebels destroyed the Taiji Palace again, and even the Taiji Palace as the main hall is currently in tatters, and the Wude Palace is relatively well preserved.

At present, within the three major ones, only Daming Palace is barely complete, followed by Taiji Palace, and Xingqing Palace is the worst.

Originally, someone below suggested that Li Ye move out of the Sixteenth Mansion and move to Xingqing Palace, but seeing the dilapidated Xingqing Palace, Li Ye still temporarily lived in the Sixteenth Mansion, and the office was placed in the Wude Hall in the Taiji Palace.

As for the repair of Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace, Li Ye did not agree.

If these two palaces are repaired, they will cost at least a few million.

If you don't belong to your home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

The current imperial court is indeed very miserable, and the finances cannot make ends meet, no wonder Tian Lingzi wanted to seize the salt pond in the river, but there was no way, who would have thought that Wang Chongrong would actually work with the imperial court, and Tian Lingzi was reduced to the current situation.

In addition to having no money, Li Ye also wanted to use this to remind himself of the current crisis. Although he is now beginning to control the situation, he is not right, there are feudal towns outside, and Li Yi's possible counterattack inside, if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss.

How many armies can be used to arm millions of guan?

With the completion of the reconstruction of the left and right Yulin armies, coupled with the Zuo Shence army controlled by Yang Fugong, Li Ye needs to pay nearly 200,000 troops, 250,000 per month, and 3 million per year.

Of course, with the tax relief of Shannan West Road, Dongchuan and Fengxiang towns, the life of the central government will not be so tight, and Chen Jingxuan has lost a lot of money before, which will definitely be enough in a short time.

Seeing Li Ye's harmless smile, Han Jian didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he could only kowtow quickly, "Your Highness forgives the sin, it is the sin that will be wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, I hope that Your Highness will not remember the villain's fault, and spare the sin and save the dog's life, and the villain will definitely look forward to His Highness in the future." ”

Li Ye got up and came to Han Jian, and Link on the side and the surrounding Jinyi guards were secretly on guard, "When this king first arrived in Shannan West Road, you brought people to attack Lizhou, and you were captured by this king.

At that time, this king thought that you Han Jian was a talent, so he spared your life and took it for his own use. At that time, you were just a general, but this king asked you to serve as a deputy commander and still lead the troops.

It's a pity that when the king and Lu Yanhong fought a decisive battle, you took refuge in Tian Lingzi and defeated Dongchuan Yang Shili, after which Dongchuan fell into the hands of Chen Jingxuan.

At that time, did you think that following this king was better than following Tian Lingzi to have a future, so you took refuge in Tian Lingzi.

is also a loyal and military eight generals, Wang Jian and Zhang Zao are all generals from Sanpin, and even Jin Hui and Li Jian are also commanders.

This man, one wrong step, one wrong step. Now you look at it again, Tian Lingzi is not far from death; You've become a prisoner too. ”

"His Royal Highness taught him that it was the villain who had no eyes, and asked His Highness to go around the villain this time. In the future, as long as His Royal Highness says to go east, the villain will never dare to go west. Facing Li Ye's ridicule, Han Jian hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"In this life, if you have to learn to choose, if you stand on the wrong team, you have to pay the price." Li Ye looked at Han Jian on the ground, then turned around and returned to his seat, "Someone, take him to the camp of the Zuo Tiance Army, and execute him on the spot." Let them see what happens if they betray this king. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Link clenched his fists and said, "Come on, drag this person out." ”

"Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness! ”

"King Shou, you are a rebellion, sooner or later there will be no good end, someone Han will be waiting for you below."

Perhaps seeing that Li Ye didn't mean to forgive, Han Jianma's face changed and began to curse Li Ye, and the escorted Jinyiwei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly blocked Han Jian's mouth and dragged the other party out like a dead dog.

After Han Jian's roar became farther and farther away, Li Mi on the side hesitated, "Your Highness, Han Jian can be regarded as having some ability, Li Ke used to conquer Chang'an before, Han Jianneng will not retreat in Huazhou, and he can be regarded as having some ability, if he can be used by His Highness... ”

Li Ye waved his hand and interrupted Li Yu's next words, "No matter how capable a person is, as long as he is not loyal to this king, this person cannot be used." A Han Jian, and he is not a martial marquis or a marquis, needless to say, this king needs to use him to make an example of him. ”

For Han Jian, Li Ye was able to use him at the beginning, which was already a chance for him. In history, this Han Jian has repeatedly made rebellions, and slaughtered many people in the Tang Dynasty's clan, plus he defected to Tian Lingzi before, Li Ye is not the kind of person who can tolerate this kind of backbone.

"What is the situation in Chang'an City now? How many more people are there? Li Ye asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, after Chang'an City was damaged by two major wars, both the population and commerce were greatly hit.

During this time, after the statistics of Xiaguan and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, they came up with an approximate figure, there are currently about 130,000 households in Chang'an City, with a total population of about 400,000. There are about 210,000 households and a population of about 700,000 in the entire Gyeongzhao Province, which is an approximate estimate, and due to the severe damage caused by the war, it will take at least a few months to calculate the exact number. Lee Young-wook explained.

Hearing this number, Li Ye couldn't help but be a little silent.

During the most populous period, Chang'an City had a registered population of more than 1 million and a floating population of more than 500,000. In the early years of Tianbao, there were more than 360,000 households in the entire Jingzhao Mansion, with a population of more than 1.9 million, and the registered population was more than 2 million at the peak.

In this comparison, how much impact the war had on Chang'an City and Jingzhao Mansion.

In terms of the number of households, Chang'an City has not decreased much, but the population of each household has decreased a lot due to the war.

It can be said that Chang'an City at this time is no longer the most populous city in the Tang Dynasty. During the years of Li Ye's administration, the population of Xingyuan Mansion has increased year by year, and now there are more than 300,000, close to 400,000, and the population of Fucheng accounts for two-thirds.

"It's stressful!"

Hearing the current situation in Chang'an, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness, fortunately, with the tax support of Shannan West Road and Dongchuan, with the implementation of the commercial tax policy of Fengxiang Mansion and Dongchuan, the financial situation of the imperial court should be better." Li Mi said seriously.

"It's still a little difficult to rely on these three places alone, and Fengxiang is not a commercially developed place, so I'm afraid I can't collect much commercial tax." Li Ye shook his head.

"Your Highness, since this is the case, Your Highness should take one of Xichuan, Shannan Dongdao or Jingnan next. Or in the river, if the salt pond in the river can be taken, the financial situation of the imperial court can be greatly alleviated. Lee Young-wook suggested.

"The river can't be touched for the time being, Tian Lingzi planted it like this, no matter what, you have to wait for the towns of Guannei Dao to calm down before you can move the river." Although Li Ye was very greedy for the salt pond in the river, when he thought of Li Keyong, he felt a little bottomless in his heart.

Although Li Ke is reckless in using this person, the Shatuo Army under his command is indeed very strong, and his foundation is unstable now, so it is really unwise to use it with Li Ke now.

"Kannai Province towns?" Li Yingxu was stunned.

Guannei Dao is the name of the early 100 years of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and now there is no such thing as Kannai Dao. The jurisdiction is equivalent to the Hetao area north of the Qinling Mountains in present-day Shaanxi Mountain, east of Helan Mountain in Ningxia, west of Hohhot City in Inner Mongolia, and south of Yinshan Mountain and Wolf Mountain.

According to the division at this time, the former Guannei Province included Jingzhaofu, Fengxiang Jiedu, Qinzhou Jiedu, Jingyuan Jiedu, Suining Jiedu, Yanyan Jiedu, Lingwu Jiedu, Xiasui Jiedu, Tiande Army Jiedu, and Zhenwu Military Jiedu.

At present, Li Yezhi has mastered the Jingzhao Mansion and the Fengxiang Festival.

Seeing Li Yingxu's reaction, Li Ye knew that the other party had misunderstood, and explained, "Of course, it is not to pacify all the feudal towns in Guannai Province. At least Qinzhou, Jingyuan, Suining, and Yanyan should be in their hands, so that the imperial court would have the strength to pacify the other feudal towns. ”

"Your Highness, the lower officials think that the matter of pacifying the feudal town should not be too anxious, after all, His Royal Highness is now maintaining a stable foundation, and rashly pacifying the feudal town is likely to cause the Shandong feudal town to rise up and attack it." Lee Young-wook suggested.

"It's not urgent, it's not okay, the current situation in Datang is really not optimistic." Li Ye sighed.

In Xingyuan Mansion before, he didn't think about it, but now when he looks at it, he finds that it is really not optimistic.

It's just Guannei Dao, Qiu Gongyu occupies Qinzhou, Zhang Jun occupies Jingyuan, Yang Shouliang occupies Suining, Dongfang Kui occupies Yanyan, Han Gong occupies Lingwu, and Li Sigong occupies Xia Sui.

In Shandong, Wang Chongrong occupied Hezhong, Li Keyong occupied Hedong, Meng Fangli occupied Xing, Wei, and Cizhou, Zhu Wen occupied Bianzhou, Huazhou and other places, Qin Zongquan occupied Xu and Cai Zhuzhou, Shi Pu occupied Xu and Si, Zhu Xuan occupied Yun, Qi, Cao, and Pu, Wang Jingwu occupied Zi and Qing, Gao Biao occupied Huainan Bazhou, Qin Yan occupied Xuan and She, Qian Biao occupied eastern Zhejiang, and Chen Jingxuan occupied Xichuan.

Counting the large and small feudal towns in other regions, Li Ye feels that at a glance, the world is the enemy!

Three more are served.
