"Your Majesty, this is the provincial division map of the districts in the south of the Yangtze River and the list of political envoys drawn up by the cabinet." Today is the twenty-eighth day of the second year of the Apocalypse, and it is also the last two days of the year of the Apocalypse.

"The list of political envoys selected by your cabinet is not bad, taking into account the balance between the north and the south." Li Xuanqing looked at it and smiled. The list of political envoys drawn up by Cen Tianshi is basically drawn from the old area with outstanding political achievements in recent years, but it also takes into account several assassins from the Central Plains New Area and two people who have defected to Cheng from Jiangnan, which basically takes care of the balance of various regions. In fact, since its establishment, the School of Administration has also trained many young civil servants. For the ruling party, young people may be inexperienced, but they have an unparalleled advantage over the old people in terms of pioneering and innovation, and the political system established by Li Xuanqing is different from that of previous dynasties, so Cen Tianshi basically chose young people.

Li Xuanqing put down these and suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, how did your cabinet arrange the important personnel of the other feudal towns that we captured before?" "Almost starting with Li Keyong, the Tiance Army has successively captured many important civil and military generals in the former feudal towns, except for those like Ge Cunzhou and other personnel who have now been assigned to active duty, most of them have not been retained.

Cen Tianshi was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Xuanqing suddenly ask about this matter, and then said: "Some of the heinous ones were handed over to the law court for a judgment and sent to Lingzhou and Fengzhou for labor reform, and the rest were basically idle at home or handed over to various places for residential surveillance. Only a small number of people who had a good relationship with our Datang stayed in Chang'an, or served as advisers to various ministries, or assisted the magistrates to stabilize the place. ”

"I plan to select some of the people from among them to join some of the scribes we have trained to build a museum, compile the history of the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, renovate the historical books of the past dynasties, and study the cultural relics and monuments of the past dynasties, so that future generations will not forget history. For the previously unknown history, we should also look for clues from the unearthed cultural relics in various places, and sort out the historical context of our Chinese millennium. Li Xuanqing thought about it and said the concept of a history museum in later generations and said: "History cannot be interrupted, and taking history as a mirror is the eternal iron law of our rulers. "Because after Li Xuanqing established the new dynasty, a large number of official departments such as the Taishi Yuan and Qin Tianjian of the previous dynasty were all abolished, and after the establishment of the law court, the criminal department and the Dali Temple and other overlapping departments also withdrew from the historical stage, so a large number of former idle personnel have become a social burden.

"In this way, the cabinet will discuss the establishment of an academy of sciences with the study of basic disciplines such as astronomical calendar, history and literature, physics and chemistry, and promote the continuous progress of research in these disciplines with the power of the empire." Li Xuanqing thought about it and felt that it was necessary to establish a similar institution like the Chinese Academy of Sciences in later generations.

"I'll leave this matter to the cabinet, and I'll draw up a detailed charter." Cen Tianshi didn't have any concept of this academy of sciences, but after nodding his head after basically understanding what was going on, he was very interested in what Li Xuanqing said about rebuilding the history of the Tang Dynasty, rubbing his hands and smiling: "The emperor really plans to revise the history of the Tang Dynasty?" We are also called Datang, no one compiles history for themselves, how can this be counted? ”

"We are a new Tang Empire, different from the previous dynasties. The previous history of the Tang Dynasty was repaired until the Zhaozong Dynasty. Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "In the future, all of them will be changed to imperial history." The mode of compiling historical books should also be revised, and it is best to change it to a chronicle. "Li Xuanqing's biography style for ancient historical books is a bit strange, it's not that the biography style is bad, it's just that he is not used to this model, and the disadvantages of the biography style are also obvious.

Cen Tianshi nodded and wrote down all these and then went out to recruit people to plan this matter, history revision is a kind of self-confidence for a dynasty and a symbol of national strength, all dynasties and dynasties will only repair history in prosperous times, this matter is not a trivial matter for him.

"Big brother is going to repair the history of the Tang Dynasty? What should it be called? History of the New Tang Dynasty? After Cen Tianshi left, Qiaoxi walked over from behind and looked at Li Xuanqing with a smile and said, "It seems that the history of the New Tang Dynasty hasn't come out yet, right?" I want to see if the old Tang Dynasty history has come out. ”

Li Xuanqing didn't pay as much attention to this matter as Cen Tianshi, and walked over and pulled Qiaoxi with a smile as he walked: "How busy are you with Tianxiang and Xue Yang's wedding recently?" Have you chosen a day? ”

"Mr. Cen said that the ninth day of the first lunar month was a good day, and the two of them set it on that day, and it happened that Lan Hibiscus's family was able to rush over." As soon as Qiao Xi talked about this matter, he immediately said with great interest: "Brother Xue seems to be embarrassed, fortunately, Brother Xu Ying helps Zhang Luo's mansion and family affairs, otherwise this Lan Jin doesn't even have a place to live in Chang'an." ”

Li Xuanqing also knew that these big singles in the army basically lived in the barracks all year round, except for those who had families before, so where did they have any place to live in Chang'an? So he thought about it and said: "I think we need to prepare some houses in Chang'an and distribute them at that time, and whoever gets married will send a house, this is a good way." ”

"Then I have to prepare in advance, now the housing prices in Chang'an are expensive, and the supply exceeds demand." Qiaoxi smiled: "Fortunately, the industrial group has had a good income in recent years, otherwise it would not be able to afford it." "Qiaoxi is planning to open a real estate company, specializing in real estate development.

The New Year is approaching, and the two of them have nothing to do, so they don't take it seriously when they talk about laughing and laughing. However, Cen Tianshi's side seriously grasped the matter of repairing the history of the Tang Dynasty, and also selected a few scholars and reliable recruits from the previous ministers to Chang'an to personally arrange tasks and build a decent history museum. This task also shows the world's scholars that at least the Tang Empire has made a difference in inheriting the past and opening up the future.

And this matter quickly reached the ears of those officials and generals who were in office, plus the officials and generals who returned to Chang'an to report on their work a year ago, and soon spread all over the world with them, and the revision of the history book was a big deal in the hearts of most people, so that many people thought that the empire was going to rehire those talents before it, and they were excited one by one.

On the twenty-ninth day of the second year of the Apocalypse, the imperial base camp of Chang'an ushered in a lively New Year, during the day, basically these imperial upstarts went to the palace to give Li Xuanqing and his wife a hundred years, and even the big businessmen and wealthy families of Chang'an also joined in the fun, all kinds of gifts filled the Wanfu Palace, Li Xuanqing also sent back gifts to everyone, and the palace held a banquet to entertain everyone. In the afternoon, Li Xuanqing on behalf of the Tang Dynasty royal family and the imperial government to worship the temple of heaven and earth, hold a ceremony, and then celebrate the imperial New Year with the people along the way, the whole Chang'an is immersed in the bustle and hustle and bustle in the evening, all kinds of fireworks continue to rise into the sky, fireworks and firecrackers have become the best-selling holiday gifts all over the country, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, the Spring Festival gifts and fireworks are popular.

"Big brother, I'll order this firework, I'll go find someone to customize the big fireworks." Qiaoxi lit a super-large fireworks symbolizing the imperial royal salute at the gate of the Changqing Palace, bringing the festive atmosphere to the extreme, Ma Laosan, Zhang Tianhu, and Yang Tiancheng, who were born in the palace for the New Year, looked at the fireworks and were dumbfounded, in their minds, gunpowder should be a weapon, when can it become so colorful?

"Haha, silly boy, this is a skill." Zhang Tianhu looked at a few people around him, and said with a serious smile: "Now Chang'an has concentrated five fireworks and firecrackers production factories, I went around a few days ago, what kind of fireworks and firecrackers are there, and now Chang'an restaurants use this when they open their stores, and the effect is not generally good, but it is a little dangerous." ”

"Teacher, have you gone to see it? Wouldn't you have a stake in it too? Why don't you take us a little bit? Liu Baoliang pulled Chen Fan forward and said with a smile: "Teacher, you see that a few of us are not married and have no family, so why do we have to save some wives?" ”

Zhang Tianhu kicked Liu Baoliang, who was blackmailing elders, and scolded with a smile: "You guys are embarrassed to say, look at Xue Yang, you have a daughter-in-law after fighting once, and now you have a daughter-in-law, and I haven't seen a woman come back with a daughter-in-law after you have fought so many battles?" Tell you, every one of you will bring me a daughter-in-law back next year, otherwise don't blame my family for serving. ”

Ma Laosan rarely dismantled Zhang Tianhu's platform this time, but followed: "Hear it, hurry up and work hard, all the bosses are not small and have not yet started a family." Who doesn't have a daughter-in-law next year, you see how Xuanqing cleans you up, maybe let you go to Sanfeng to plant trees. ”

As soon as these two people spoke, everyone immediately made a bitter face, how can it be so easy to find a daughter-in-law, you can't rob it, right? Liu Baoliang muttered and was about to say a few words, but was interrupted by Li Xuanqing, "I have already asked Mr. Cen to find a way, and if you don't find it by then, let him match you with one, and tell you, if you are not satisfied, you are not allowed to return it." ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone laughed happily, and after the fireworks were released, everyone returned to the Wanfu Hall to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because Xu Tianxiang was going to Yang Qiu's house to step on the door, so he left early, and the rest of the people began to push the cup to continue to eat and drink, these people can basically gather in Chang'an during the New Year's Festival in a year, so after meeting, they each narrated their experiences and experiences in various places, and it was also very interesting to be lively and lively. Qiaoxi didn't stay for a while because she had to take care of Xiao Tianqi, so she turned back to the apse, and after thinking about it, she asked Ruyan to prepare a gift and take her entourage to the post house to visit Lan Hibiscus.

And the Wanfu Hall is not over yet, Murong Hanhai and several other big businessmen also began to come to the palace. After Li Xuanqing ascended the throne, most of the ceremonial rules were abolished, weakening the sense of the royal family's superiority, and the palace part of Chang'an was even opened to the outside world, so that the people could also experience the daily life of the royal family. Therefore, several wealthy businessmen have also become frequent visitors to the palace, as long as Li Xuanqing is in Chang'an, they often come to the palace.

Naturally, it was inevitable for everyone to greet each other, Li Xuanqing beckoned the guards outside the door to increase their seats, and everyone continued to eat and chat together. Yelu Mingcheng, the eldest son of Yelu Yaqi, looked at everyone eating and drinking and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, everyone, I brought a few bottles of good wine, how about we have a drink with the emperor's meal?" After speaking, he took out a few glass bottles containing red liquid from the gift box on the side and smiled.

"Wine? Has your caravan opened up the Western Regions Trade Road? Li Xuanqing naturally recognized what this was at a glance, and couldn't help but be surprised: "I heard that the Western Regions trade route was completely cut off when it arrived at Shazhou, where did you get this wine from?" It can't be from a sandbank, right? Li Xuanqing said this, everyone is very curious, for more than a year, basically several big businessmen have focused on the east, and only the Yelu family is working hard to run the business of the Western Regions, so basically they don't know how much the Yelu family has achieved.

"The emperor is right, the Silk Road can't be crossed when it reaches Shazhou, and to the west is the territory of the Uighurs, and then to the west I heard that it is the territory of the great cannibals, the status of the Han people over there is very low, and the power and reputation of our Tang Dynasty can't be passed on, so these wines are still brought by a walking monk from Toshazhou, and I don't know how it tastes." Yelu Mingcheng's words made everyone care about drinking, and they inquired about the specific situation of the Western Regions, but Yelu Mingcheng was obviously prepared, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, I have asked the Yelu family to sort out the information and knowledge about the Western Regions, and it will be sent to Xuanyingwei Hu Commander tomorrow, I heard that Xuanyingwei also has a lot of information, and it is estimated that it will be summarized and sent to you." ”

"Xuanqing, I heard that you asked Cen Tianshi to prepare to recruit people to cultivate the history of the Tang Dynasty, right?" Yelu Mingcheng's words obviously aroused everyone's curiosity about the Western Regions, but Ma Laosan said with a somewhat solemn face: "I don't know how to record the Tang history of the Western Regions?" ”

"History is for future generations to understand how our nation has come to be. About the Western Regions, every stroke of Anxi should be recorded, how we Datang ran the Western Regions, and how it was lost, must be truthfully recorded. Taking history as a mirror is so that we can keep history in mind and tell our children and grandchildren that the issue of land is the fundamental issue of a nation's survival, and every inch of land must be contested. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to those Anxi troops who died in the Western Regions and trapped in the lonely city in the future. Li Xuanqing said solemnly: "The reason why we want to revise the history of the Tang Dynasty is to let the people remember my Tang Dynasty blood, remember my Tang pioneering spirit, and the fighting spirit of our ancestors who fought against foreign captives." ”

"Your Majesty, if possible, let's call it early, shall we? There are very few Han people in Anxi now, and even if there is an estimate, they have been assimilated, and they are going to cut off the roots of Han people such as us in Anxi, and they are not allowed to speak Tang dialect or follow the surname Tang, and now many people don't remember our Zongmiao clan. Although Yelu Mingcheng is not a Han Chinese, but thanks to Yelu Aceh's teachings, he has long regarded himself as a member of the Han people, so when he heard this, he immediately said: "My Yelu family has built warehouses in Shazhou and other places, and as long as the emperor needs it, he will do his best to serve my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Brother Jerod is polite. Anxi, my Datang will definitely fight back. No one will be able to stop us this time. Li Xuanqing raised his head and his eyes were blazing
