"I haven't seen you for a few years! It's a big change. At the beginning of the summer of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, standing outside the gate of Luoyang with his wives, Li Hao looked at this majestic city and felt a little emotional!

Ruyan is Li Hao met on the way back to Chang'an, and then met in Luoyang City, so this girl's emotion is renewed. Who knew that when he came here like a refugee, he would bring such a fate to himself, and life is too profound.

There was only one daughter in the family, and both parents died, and Ruyan's heart was full of vigilance and desolation at that time. If it weren't for a father's friend's righteous send-off, Ruyan felt that she might have to stay in Yangzhou forever.

Now that he has a child, he is good to himself. When I go back to Chang'an this time, I'm afraid that a few of them will have to prepare for a second child again. After all, Li Hao will be very idle in the future, and he will have time to accompany his wife to make a person or accompany his children at home.

In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, in fact, there was another relatively big thing in history. In this year, Xuanzang set off for China with honor, and after two years, he brought 657 Buddhist scriptures back to Middle-earth.

In the first month of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Xuanzang arrived in Chang'an. At this time, Li Er had been stationed in Luoyang for the Liaodong Campaign. When Li Er learned that he had returned to China, he immediately ordered him to be received in Luoyang. Xuanzang hurriedly set off on the road on the 22nd of the same month, and was received by Li Er on the first day of February in the Yiluan Hall of Luoyang Palace.

Li Er was deeply pleased, and sat down with Xuanzang and asked: "Why didn't the master report to the imperial court when he went west to learn the scriptures", Xuanzang said: "When Xuanzang went, he played it again and again. But I sincerely hope that the court will not be allowed. The ultimate in catechumenism is a private act. The sin of despotism is only deeply feared. Li Er said: "After the Master became a monk, he broke off with the world, so he was able to entrust his life to seek the benefit of the Dharma."

What's funnier is that after Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, Li Er knew that he knew the Western Regions very well, and ordered him to return to the vulgar several times, even later Li Zhi also gave the same order, but Xuanzang did not agree. It's just that now, Li Hao is looking forward to seeing Xuanzang when he comes back!

Now there is a Dalin Temple in the entire Tang Dynasty, which is still because the monks in it helped Li Er when Li Er fought Luoyang. But now, except for these monks who can enjoy Li Er's preferential treatment, others are not allowed to become monks at all!

All the other temples were also demolished, and all the temple's properties were recovered and returned to the people. Now there is only Taoism in the entire Tang Dynasty, and everything else is forbidden. Even those Hu people are no exception, if they dare not abide by the precepts of Taoism, they will be directly expelled from the Tang Dynasty, and they are not allowed to do business!

The number of merchants in Datang has increased a lot in recent years, and there are also a lot more good things, and there are no Hu people coming to do business, which can make people in Datang earn more. Therefore, the stricter the requirements of the Tang people in this regard, the stricter the card.

Taoism was the state religion in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no messy thing such as alchemy and cultivating immortals to damage the image of Taoism internally, coupled with the changes in medical skills and various means of teaching, as well as the influence of "The Romance of the Gods", and now the image of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty is also very good, and the popularity rate is extremely high.

There is a restaurant in Li Hao's mansion here in Luoyang, so Li Hao and his party deliberately rested for a few days after entering Luoyang, and then tasted Luoyang cuisine.

At the beginning, Li Hao introduced the water mat here, and over the years, people here have added a lot of new food to the water mat. In addition to Li Hao's somen noodles, there are now more knife-cut noodles, hand-rolled noodles and other pasta. In addition, several places for slaughtering cattle have also been opened in Luoyang, and Li Hao's restaurant has now launched an all-cattle banquet.

And some noodles have also launched various innovations on the ingredients, such as braised beef noodles, Zhenzi noodles, etc., which have also been pushed out because of the opening of beef and the promotion of pork, which is very similar to what Li Hao's later generations will see here.

After Li Hao and the others came, they ate in their own restaurant for several days, and went to the streets and alleys of Luoyang to wander around, and only left Luoyang after eating a lot of special snacks and being satisfied, and then returned to Chang'an.

Chang'an knew that Li Hao was coming back, and there were many people who came to greet him. For example, Fang 2, Cheng 3 and so on. They have also married one by one now, but they are all nested in Chang'an, and they are not released, and their identities are also related to a certain extent.

"Haha! Brother Xian has finally returned to Chang'an, tonight we will go to the nightclub to have a drink, no drunk will not return! Before entering Chang'an City, I was greeted by these guys in the post station outside, and then one by one, like demons and monsters, several of Li Hao's children who were scared almost cried.

Li Hao's five children, except for the youngest baby, have to be held in his hands, and the four eldest ones can walk on their own. Along the way, these little guys have been tossing a lot, and they are all very energetic. Now I see a few demons and monsters, and they are all honest.

"You guys are all fathers, and you scared people to cry when you saw that the juniors didn't give gifts, are you embarrassed?" For these guys, Li Hao never has to be polite. And these guys are now following Li Hao, but they are making a lot of money.

"How can you not prepare gifts, they have already been prepared for the children." Fang Er said with a smile after hearing this, I don't know if it's an illusion. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Li Hao feels that after this guy married Princess Dongyang, he seems to have changed a lot.

Back at the Li Mansion, Uncle Zhong had already led people to tidy up the mansion. His family Erlang and Da Lang do not live here now, but have another house in Chang'an, which was given by Li Hao. However, Uncle Zhong didn't go to live with them, he still lived in the Li Mansion, and he was used to living here.

"Oh, Xiao Langjun and the little ladies have grown so big, and one of them is so smart, it looks so cute." Aunt Zhong had taken the children for a while in the past, and now after seeing Li Hao's children, she immediately greeted them with a smile.

It's a pity that the children don't know her very well now, and they didn't come over, and Li Hao's wives had to be dispatched. And Fang Er, they followed Li Hao to the study to brag, and they had to have a meal at Li Hao's house when they turned around.

The nightclub has to go until the evening, and it's still early. Now Datang Nightclub has two branches in Chang'an, the old one is in the east city, the new one is in the west market, and there is another branch in Luoyang.

The money earned in a year has never been announced, but everyone knows that the profits in it are not low. Only Li Hao knows how much money they can earn in a year in these three fields.

For example, Fang 2 and Cheng 3 get dividends from here every year, which is enough for their respective houses to live a very prosperous life, and there are still a lot of savings. So they haven't continued to drill other things over the years, just guard these fields, and then buy some industries and land in Chang'an City.

"After I come back, how will the emperor arrange for me, do you have any news?" Li Hao was more curious about this question, and he was concerned about whether he could resign and leave. There are still two girls waiting for him on the southern side, and he won't stay too long here in Chang'an.

"I heard that it was arranged to be the wine of the Guozijian, and the Guozijian has been trying to change some things in the past two years, but the results have been very small, and the emperor is very dissatisfied with this. In addition, Lao Kong has now been driven to Linyi in the south, and there is no one here now. ”

After hearing this, Fang Er replied without thinking, Lao Fang is still Li Er's important minister, he is still Li Er's son-in-law, and he knows some things in a lot more detail than others.

"The Son of the Kingdom Priest Wine? Why did you think that I would be the wine of the country's priesthood? I'm not a big guy, and I'm not old enough. Isn't the emperor worried that I will mess things up? It's a bit of a strange arrangement. ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this reply, and let himself be the priest of the country? What does this mean? Although Li Hao's literary talent is not low in Datang, he is too young, and he is not a normal imperial examination jinshi. So when he went to serve in the Guozi Prison, I am afraid that all the scholars and others in the entire Chang'an City will be noisy.

"I don't know about this, I heard that the emperor personally named it, and the old man of my family seems to have been moved by the emperor's words, and they kept silent about this matter, and they waited for the virtuous brother to go to the national prison to serve."

Fang Er replied with a smile after hearing this, no matter how detailed the news was, he didn't know it. Comrade Lao Fang rarely talked to his family or children about things in the court, so he didn't know what Li Er said to Lao Fang.

"It's kind of interesting to be a university president." What Li Er meant, Li Hao couldn't guess for the time being. But he is actually going to become the principal of the highest university in Datang, which makes this matter interesting.

As long as the principal is used well, it is also a good position. For example, Lao Jiang in later generations, and the presidents of key universities in the future, aren't those people all because they have been exposed to a lot of light after becoming presidents? That's why Li Hao thinks it's a bit interesting to be a principal, and Li Hao himself has a bit of a good teacher's attributes.

Now that Li Er has let himself sit in this position, Li Hao is really a little happy. If he built Guozijian into the world's highest academic institution, everyone who entered it would be to call him the headmaster respectfully, no matter how high his ability and status, would be a proud thing.

It's just that Li Hao obviously thinks too much, and he doesn't know what the Guozijian he is about to manage is now, but from the limited historical information, he knows that this is a pure second-generation school, either the second generation of officials or the second generation of emperors.

Tang Chengsui system, the first year of Wude Tang set up Guozi School, with a number of 300 students, students are all children of nobles, and 24 teachers. In the first year of Zhenguan, Tang changed the name of Guozixue to Guozijian, and at the same time became an independent educational administrative institution. There is a sacrificial wine in the prison, who is the highest educational administrator. There is one person and one main bookkeeper, who is responsible for specific matters such as students' academic performance and student status.
