As a person from later generations, Li Xuanba's most powerful thing is not his world-class martial arts, nor is it that he is smarter than others. There is a good saying, knowledge can change fate, when he was Lin Xuan, Li Xuanba was just an ordinary person, but at present, no one has more knowledge than Li Xuanba.

After pacifying Li Zitong, Du Fuwei no longer threatened Danyang, with a hidden intention of reconciliation, Shen Faxing continued to consolidate his power, neither dared to take the initiative to attack Jiangdu, but also worried that the Southern Sui court would take the initiative to crusade against him in the name of disobeying the edict, and was always in a state of fear.

In fact, Shen Faxing's worries were a little redundant, although Nan Sui destroyed Li Zitong with lightning speed, but there were still many things to do, such as pacifying the people and repairing the city, and the imperial court did not plan to deal with him at all for the time being.

During the period of recovery, Li Xuanba was not idle.

From the court to the Guozijian, from the march to the war to the daily life of the people, Li Xuanba put forward many ideas, with the support of Yang Tong and the support of military power, no one dared to oppose it at all. Of course, Li Xuanba did not carry out ******-style reforms, such as the hereditary system was still retained.

First of all, Li Xuanba proposed that in the army, according to the military merit and local government performance, those who have the ability can be promoted, and those who are not capable can either be dismissed or demoted. In fact, this is no different from the official evaluation of the previous dynasty, except that Li Xuanba is more serious.

Secondly, with the addition of the Ministry of Supervision, the identity of officials is not transparent, and the ordinary people drinking tea at the street stalls are very likely to be a supervision envoy. Li Xuanba wanted to improve the atmosphere of officials in various places, although they could not completely eliminate the problem of official corruption, but they could also make the atmosphere of officialdom much more honest.

After purging the officialdom, Li Xuanba interfered non-stop in the teaching of Guozijian. He came up with the concept of punctuation. He also proposed to add military science in addition to the original disciplines, so as to train more generals who could lead troops and fight alone for the imperial court. Later, he went to Sun Simiao in person and proposed a way to treat the disease and a different policy for each person, and separated the female department and the child department.

On the side of the army. Li Xuanba did not mix too much, but after he discussed with the generals, siege towers, speeding vehicles and other equipment came into being, and in addition, the soldiers' clothing was also modified to make their movements on the battlefield more flexible and the protection of important parts of the body more perfect.

In other aspects, Li Xuanba proposed the establishment of a chamber of commerce, abandoning the inherent model of the east and west markets. The imperial court issued an edict that a small market was set up in one square and a large market was set up in eight squares, which made the people's lives much more convenient and could save a lot of time.

The trees outside the city were almost cut down, and Li Xuanba ordered people to plant trees

In the first year of Tianze, Jiangdu presented a busy scene.

In order to prevent the rush to stop, Li Xuanba put forward his ideas one by one in an orderly manner. By the time he had done his best, it was already the end of the year. And his efforts gradually paid off: the people of the Southern Sui sang praises to the imperial court, and they were full of laughter and laughter, even Hailing and other counties accepted the identity of the people of the Southern Sui.

After the Lantern Festival, officials from all over the country went to Jiangdu to report on their work. In the court, Yang Tong was merciless according to their political achievements, the rewards that should be rewarded, and the punishments that should be punished, and many people rushed to Jiangdu with the idea of inviting merit. But they were imprisoned, and if anyone was not convinced, Yang Tong ordered someone to read out the Ministry of Supervision's recital in public, making them speechless and ashamed

The sky was snowing, and the Zhongyong Mansion was snow-white, Li Xuanba, Li Gou and the eldest grandson Wuji were wrapped in thick jackets, sitting in the pavilion and watching Shizuka, Du Yueru and the girls playing in the snow, looking at it, Li Xuanba's eyes narrowed.

"Childe, what do you think of paying attention to again?" Li Gou saw Li Xuanba's eyes and shook, because every time Li Xuanba squinted his eyes and thought, Jiang Du would be in a hurry not long after.

"Your lady has been more than five months, right?" Li Xuanba came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "The process of giving birth to a child is really long. ”

"It's inevitable to be pregnant for ten months." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand why Li Xuanba suddenly had such a sigh for a while, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the prince envied Li Gou?" ”

"What does he have to envy?" Li Xuanba shook his head and said: "I'm just sighing, it takes nearly twenty years for a person to go from birth to adulthood, but from birth to death, it only takes one war." During the reign of the first emperor, the population at its peak was more than 46 million, and now it is afraid that it is not even 50%. ”

"The son hasn't gotten married yet, so why do you worry about the child?" Li Gou smiled and said: "But then again, Shizuka Niangzi still has half a year to go out of the filial piety period, what are the plans of the son?" ”

"Don't open any pot and mention which pot, and don't let you collect money during the New Year, do you still remember this hatred?" Li Xuanba didn't have a good airway.

"The villain just doesn't understand, in the past, the son was just a county guard, and he dared to loot money and silk, why has he become timid now?" Li Gou pouted, looking unhappy.

"When did my son loot other people's belongings?" Li Xuanba glared at his eyes and glared angrily: "The past and the present are different from the past, this son is in a high position, of course, he must lead by example, even if he doesn't charge a white coin, the child in your mother's belly will not be hungry." "There are very few servants in the Zhongyong Mansion, and the fertile land that Yang Tong rewarded Li Xuanba is enough to feed the ten Zhongyong Mansions.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the quarrel between Li Xuanba and Li Gou helplessly, and kept silent, he was too familiar with the scene in front of him. However, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand why Li Xuanba was sometimes wise and terrifying, and sometimes he acted like a naughty boy. He glanced at Ren Wuwu, who was building a snowman in the courtyard, and thought to himself that Ren Wuwu was more like an adult than Li Xuanba at this time.

"Then again, what the hell is Childe thinking?" After the joke, Li Gou asked seriously.

"You say, if the imperial court wants to be strong, what does it need most?" Li Xuanba shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not thinking nonsense.

"There is grain and grass, but what is lacking is naturally soldiers and horses." Li Gou replied without hesitation.

"Brother Wuji, what do you think?" After getting Li Gou's answer, Li Xuanba turned his gaze to the eldest grandson Wuji again. Because of trust, after the righteousness, Li Xuanba told Li Gou the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji. As a result, Li Gou just said with a smile: I have long seen that he is not a good person.

"Li Gou doesn't do his job on weekdays, but what he said this time is quite reasonable." Li Zhu's face was calm, and he was not afraid of Li Gou's anger.

"Yes, it's not always the best way to have an empty city but no population." Li Xuanba sighed: "The war has caused the people to continue to die, even if Xuanba has the intention to recruit soldiers, but he doesn't know where to recruit them, so giving birth to a baby is the last word!"
