When the courtiers outside the Taiji Hall were about to be overwhelmed, they finally came to the last link today, which was to announce the kings of many subjugated small countries, as well as the titles and official positions of important courtiers, these things were basically decided by Fang Xuanling and several ministers in Chang'an early on, and the inner servants read it according to the book.

The eldest is the son of the king of Rongliu, Gaode, he did not make the king of Goguryeo, but the title of the king of Heshun, and he is the king of grass who has no actual jurisdiction over the territory and army, but he has a mansion and a monthly salary that is one level higher than the prime minister Guogong, and he can take 1,200 yuan a month to support his family.

There is no way, who told him that his Gao army was wiped out, Li Shimin will not let him have the opportunity to influence the situation in the Northeast again, in the future, he will live in Chang'an forever like Jieli and Tuli.

The kings of the lower ranks, such as Silla, Baekje, Limgeup, Tocharo, etc., were all given the title of duke.

At the second level, the population exceeds 100,000, and there are not hundreds of thousands, such as Gaochang, Qiuci, Khotan and other small countries, and the king has been awarded the title of county duke.

At the next level, the king of a small country with a population of more than 10,000 but not more than 100,000 was given the title of county duke.

The population is not more than 10,000, but the county has waited for the county marquis.

There is also a reason why Li Shimin lost his title so wildly, because of the implementation of the citizenship system and the reform of the title system, in addition to having a knighthood, he no longer gives a fief to the food estate, which is almost no harm to the country.

And their economic resources need to rely on the monthly income of the imperial court, so that they dare not have the intention of destroying the rule of the imperial court.

A complete set of canonization announcements took more than two hours, and at the end, Li Shimin announced the feast, and then, his brows furrowed again.

Because it is very cold now, he can't dine outdoors like when he ascended the throne, so many people have to be divided into three or four palaces before the banquet can be set down, which naturally did not achieve the effect he wanted, so when he was transferred, he directly called Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, and Sun Xiangfu over.

"Zhuqing and I have opened up a large country with an unprecedented region, then, naturally, we want to build a political center that is enough to govern this country, Taiji Palace is the inheritance of the palace of the former Sui, the pattern is inevitably smaller, I intend to build a larger new palace to deal with government affairs, so that when you courtiers go to the court on business, you will have to be frozen in the cold wind outside, what good suggestions do you have for Aiqing."

Li Shimin said that it was a 'good' suggestion, and this matter was basically determined to do this thing, and besides, seeing Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Gao Shilian, the three of them did not look surprised at all, Sun Xiangfu knew that Li Shimin had premeditated it, and just wanted to make himself come up with a feasible plan, after all, no one in Datang could do anything new.

Even if Sun Xiangfu doesn't read history, Bai Juyi's "Daming Palace Ci" has still read it, and he also knows that this super palace group, known as the Palace of a Thousand Palaces, is the largest and most glorious palace group in the history of our country and even the world, more than four times larger than the "Forbidden City" built in the Ming Dynasty, almost as big as 500 football fields.

The historical Daming Palace was built in the eighth year of Zhenguan, but now the financial resources of the imperial court have increased several times compared with history, but it can support the construction to start two years ahead of schedule and repair it directly.

Sun Xiangfu from later generations does not think that 'big', can solve the problem, with the ancient palace-like building to work, in fact, it is very affect the efficiency, for example, Sun Xiangfu wants to go to the department with business contacts to communicate, ask for some information, just walking, have to walk for a long time, he still remembers the first time he went to the palace to ask for directions.

So, without much thought, Sun Xiangfu said, "Your Majesty, the area that the imperial court needs to manage is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of departments and officials will be increasing. ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and said, "In this way, this matter will be handed over to Zhengming to deal with, and I will see the plan in the near future." ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to receive the order.

He did not study architecture in his later life, but he also entered many large office buildings, changed them slightly, and then asked Yan Lide and Yan Liben's brothers for their opinions, it should not be difficult to design a new office space.

Speaking of banquets, then, it's time for Li Shimin's performance again, all kinds of heart-warming words that share peace and prosperity with the kings of those small countries, I don't know how many baskets they said, but most of them believe it, and then, I think that Li Shimin, the eldest brother, is really a kind person, everyone should recommend him to be the co-master of the world, I don't know who it is, I started, and then, many people who don't speak Chinese very well, followed and shouted Li Shimin as 'Heavenly Khan', and shouted for him to hold a coronation ceremony or something.

Sun Xiangfu knew that today's banquet would not end for a while and a half, but he still lasted until the end, and sure enough, Li Shimin kept him, and Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and several other Li Shimin's confidants and advisers.

"Now that I, the Tang Dynasty, have conquered the surrounding Siyi, the next step, the center of gravity of the imperial court is on governance, where do you think you should start first?"

Since Li Shimin didn't wait for a day, he summoned a few of them to discuss this matter, which proved that he had realized this matter and needed to urgently come up with a plan, because knowing how big the world was, or rather, knowing how big the Tang Dynasty was now, he felt the importance of the surrounding places even more.

He is the emperor, considering the angle of things, he will always be different from ordinary people, now, in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the Tang Dynasty, there is a place that is relatively independent, especially in Lingnan, Feng Angruo really has the mind of Li Shimin, he is completely in a state of attacking and retreating.

Moreover, with the support of overseas territory, he can almost be invincible.

Fortunately, Feng Ang is a person who has no bad intentions, so what can he do? Feng Ang is already dying, and it is difficult to ensure that his successor will not have any bad intentions!

On the Western Regions, in fact, it is not much better, after all, it is too far, Cheng Yanjin is loyal to him, but can his future successor always end up in the Tang Dynasty? If you have any bad intentions, such a large place and such a large population can also quickly break away from Datang, and even threaten the safety of Datang.

The same is true of the north and east, and even in Yunnan, how to make the center more effective in controlling the periphery in order to develop further afield is a problem that he, as the emperor, can't wait to solve.

Seeing that the others were thinking about it, Sun Xiangfu felt that he had better hurry up and finish his opinions before going home to sleep, so he said, "I think that as long as a few policies are implemented well, within 20 years, I will be a native of Datang, not to mention being monolithic, at least, the internal stability will be worry-free." ”

"Those policies are clear and reasonable."

"The first is to unremittingly promote the policy of ethnic integration, the specific work to be done in this regard, Your Majesty has been fully aware, through inspections, condolences, various theatrical performances, to promote the good of my Datang, and by strengthening close exchanges with all ethnic groups, let them get used to being under the rule of my Datang."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Li Shimin, who had already experienced the specific benefits of doing so, and several ministers nodded in agreement.

Then he said, "The second is to unremittingly promote the policy of national economic development, and if the people are rich, the country will be rich, and no people will oppose a country and emperor who will make his life richer and richer and his life better and better."

In this regard, what we need to do is to open up more industries, study better farming techniques, so that the people can have jobs, high salaries, fields to plant, and high output, so as to realize the value of their own labor force. ”

This is also a good thing for everyone to see, and the imperial court naturally hopes to continue to promote it when it has the ability.

Then Sun Xiangfu said, "The third is to unremittingly promote the national education policy, only if everyone understands cultural knowledge and production technology knowledge, can we ensure that the country has talents available when it is governed, and when it comes to production, there are talents available, and it opens up the wisdom of the people, so that everyone can not be easily used by people with ill intentions."

In this regard, what we must do is naturally to increase investment in the construction of the education system, and I believe that we can make a five-year and ten-year plan, and within five years, Guanzhong will implement free education, and within 10 years, the whole country will implement free education. ”

Speaking of the issue of education, in the case of an urgent shortage of manpower in all aspects, Li Shimin is very eager to promote, however, he has objections to Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, and said, "Five years is too long, with the current tax conditions of the imperial court, free education can be implemented in Guanzhong as soon as possible, and it can be implemented to the whole country within five years." ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty, in this case, the pressure on the minister will be great, and when it comes to spending money, the minister will only get to the point!" ”

Li Shimin and the others didn't understand what Sun Xiangfu meant, so they gathered their eyes on him again.

"This fourth point is to unremittingly promote the country's infrastructure construction, Your Majesty, Fang Xiang, you should know that all the states and counties in Guanzhong, after the construction of cement roads, the entire political efficiency and people's livelihood development speed, to what extent! Without these concrete roads, we may not be able to quickly organize against the more than 200,000 cavalry of Tibet.

Before the second half of next year, the cement road from Guanzhong to Shanyang and Dingxiang funded by the Wang family will be completed, and everyone will be able to appreciate the benefits of convenient transportation between the two places.

Two thousand miles of cement road, the messenger along the way there are many places to change horses, within three days can transmit the message, even if the horse galloping merchants, along the way there are inns to change horses, can also arrive within five days. This almost narrowed the distance between Shanyang, Dingxiang, and Chang'an to the distance between Guanzhong and Luoyang before the road was built, and the first benefit of infrastructure construction is to shorten the distance between the center and all the surrounding places. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, if he did it in a comfortable carriage, let the coachman gallop on the smooth cement road for twelve hours without stopping, and change horses and coachmen along the way, wouldn't he be like a letter, and he would be able to reach Shanyang in about three days? In this way, it can make you run more to Shanyang when you have time.
