In many cases, time is completely meaningless, like the water flowing from the fingertips, completely disappearing silently. Lu Hanyang walked around Australia, and then started a new journey, in this journey, time did pass quietly.

Because of Lu Hanyang's relationship, the Tang Dynasty has incorporated Goguryeo into its territory, plus the territory of the three tribes of the grassland before, and now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is much larger than in history, and what the Tang Dynasty needs now is not expansion, but recuperation, and what it needs is population.

But now because of the new policy promulgated by Li Er before, women can only marry at the age of 16, and close relatives are not allowed to intermarry, so that the rate of population growth has not slowed down, but has been greatly improved. First of all, there are countless deformed children and mentally retarded children who are mentally retarded.

And because the woman's body is mature, the incidence of dystocia death is much smaller. You must know that dystocia is not only that the child cannot be saved, but sometimes even the mother's life will be in danger, even if the mother survives, it will hurt the root and take a long time to adjust the body.

Not only will this not be able to increase the population quickly, but it will also slow down the rate of population growth. Therefore, Li Er's two new policies put the Datang population on a healthy development track, so that the Datang recuperation became easier.

And because of the various new actions sent by Lu Hanyang, the entire Datang is no longer in short supply of food, and with enough food, population growth has also accelerated. After all, it is also a difficult process for a person to grow up from birth to adulthood, and in this era, there are many children who die halfway.

Datang can now be said to have embarked on a fast track of rapid cultivation, and all the small countries around it are all intimidated, even if they are angry, they don't dare to show it at this time, because Datang is now the time when the soldiers are strong, and they are powerless to resist.

Of course, the development of the Tang Dynasty has been smooth sailing, and the monarchs and ministers in the court all know that the credit of the pure yang immortals should account for most of them, and every time the country is expanded, there is the shadow of Lu Hanyang behind it, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty is now famous for its auspicious potatoes and corn. These were all given by the Pure Yang Immortals, from a distant place thousands of miles away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year's Tang Dynasty has been in good weather, and now the lives of the people are also guaranteed, I am ready to repair the Taiji Palace, what do you think Aiqing?" Li Er was on the throne in the Pure Yang Palace, looking at the court and the princes below.

"Your Majesty, although the Tang Dynasty has now stabilized the Quartet, it is also in ruins, plus it is necessary to build all the galloping roads, and the various cities need to re-pour the city walls, and the treasury does not have much surplus, please think twice." Cui Jin, who was in charge of the household department, stood up and said.

After Li Er ascended the throne, he once thought about replacing Cui Jin, after all, he was from the family of five surnames and seven wangs, but in the end, he still did not replace him, even if the court purged a lot of family officials. It's just because the Qinghe Cui clan behind Cui Jin has given up a lot of positions, but he has always kept Cui Jin's position as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Cui Aiqing, Taiji Palace is the residence of the Emperor Taishang, just because of the endless wars before, and later the early construction of the Tang Dynasty, it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, I decided to repair it to fulfill my filial piety, is there anything wrong?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers oppose Your Majesty's filial piety, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs really can't take out the money to repair the Taiji Palace, the entire Tang Dynasty is now too open, Liaodong, grasslands, official roads and city walls are all places that cost state money, and the treasury does not have much surplus." Cui Jin said.

"So?" Li Eryi stared at Cui Jin with tiger eyes. Apparently not convinced, and there was also a faint sense of anger.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, Weichen just answered truthfully, and there is no disobedience." Cui Jin said, he also felt Li Er's anger, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs really has no money and food, Liaodong is now stationed with 100,000 troops, not only Zhang Yuanjian is there, Li Er also sent Qu Tutong over after the good news from Liaodong came.

Now the 100,000 troops in Liaodong are stationed in Goguryeo, which is still overstretched, after all, Goguryeo has 300,000 troops before, although it has now been disarmed and surrendered, but there are still some people hiding in the mountains of Goguryeo, fighting against the Tang Dynasty.

The same is true of the northern grasslands, the grasslands are a bit more chaotic, the herdsmen live in pursuit of water and grass, they simply have no fixed residence, and if the Tang Dynasty wants to rule the grassland, it must have a well-equipped cavalry. And feeding these armies is also a big drain.

Not only that, but the highways in Datang continue to extend, connecting the whole world, and the highways that are constantly being built have completely replaced the previous official roads. In addition to the prisoners of war and slaves, the construction of these roads required a lot of work, which required a lot of work in addition to the necessary rent and mediocrity in the transfer, and the common people had to pay for their work.

This is how the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been hollowed out a little bit, and now the repair of Taiji Palace is a big project, and it is definitely not something that can be done with a little money and food, and it is impossible to come up with so much money, which makes Cui Jin how can he cope with this errand.

"Datang is so poor?" Li Er asked left and right, although he paid attention to Datang's treasury taxes, he only checked them once in a while, and he really didn't notice them now.

"Your Majesty, it is true, although the entire treasury of the Tang Dynasty cannot be said to be empty, there is not much, the army is outside, and people eat horses; The construction of large construction projects in China is also a large expense. Cui Jin bowed and said.

"That's it, then...... Never mind! Li Er finally thought about it, and then gave up the plan to repair the Taiji Palace, in fact, he wanted to move Li Yuan out of the Taiji Palace when he repaired the Taiji Palace, and he moved in by himself. Only now......

Datang continues to recuperate, although Li Er sometimes rejoices in his achievements, this is the mentality that every emperor will have, after all, they all want the entire empire to get better and better, even if it is those monarchs who have died, few of them are really wanton destruction of the entire empire.

At this time, Lu Hanyang also continued to set off from Australia, but at this time, there was an extra yellow-eyed white man behind him, who was accepted by Lu Hanyang and became the god general of Huangsha.

This yellow-eyed white man's name is Pierce Maitt, he is Australian, and it has been almost a year since he returned here, and in a year he has become familiar with the entire Australian continent, but everything is gone except that you are still on a piece of land like Australia.

Australia is still a wilderness, even more barren than the Americas, there is no human population at all, and after this Pierce came here, he discovered his superpowers, and then stayed in the desert.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave here and go to other continents to see, but across the vast sea, he doesn't have the confidence to cross the sea.
