Li Zhi rode away on the Tianshen, and at the same time took away the only few nobles left in Murowei, and Yanglin's army entered the busy city building work again, for the ordinary people of Murowei who escaped from the Wangting habitat and came to this barren mountain to avoid the Tang army, Yanglin is still very generous, after every war, you need to use soft means to exert politics, no one understands this aspect better than Yanglin and Li Ke, as for the meaning expressed by Li Ke who wants to stay here, anyway, Yanglin doesn't matter, It's just that I don't know if Li Ke's group of ethnic minority families who are used to living in the south can get used to living here.

The New Year in Chang'an City is always lively, not to mention that this year's foreign war of the Tang Dynasty has won again, Li Shimin did not give Yanglin himself any reward, but it does not mean that he does not give Yanglin other aspects of glory, Bai Zhihan is one of the profiteers, as a concubine to obtain a first-class life, Datang is the only one, even with a more than one-year-old Yang Tianling child also stained light, won a five-grade martial arts honorary status.

The end of the year is the busiest few days of the year in the Horse Mansion, due to the large number of business industries, as many as thousands of managers to summarize the accounts for the Horse Mansion in these days, Li Li's abacus is old, less than a thousand more than a thousand dollars, do not want her to do it, of course, these are Wang Erniu and a cadre of Wangjia Village children in advance to summarize the accounts, she is just a total of a total.

"32 million guan, this year's income is only 4 million guan higher than last year, less than 20%, your subordinates still have to work hard!" Li Lizhi showed a displeased expression and said, this is the way Yang Lin taught her, no matter how much money she makes in the house, she can't give the manager a satisfactory expression.

"What the mother said is that the little ones will redouble their efforts next year and strive to greatly improve the performance of various industries." Wang Erniu was very cooperative and asked the managers for a favor, and Li Lizhi waved his hand and doubled the year-end bonuses of the managers, compared with the growth of 4 million yuan, the year-end bonus of hundreds of thousands of yuan is nothing.

Waiting for the managers to retire happily from the Horse Mansion, Wang Erniu took out another account book in his arms, don't look at this big fat man must bow to the things on the account, in fact, he is not a person who knows how to settle accounts at all, just now Li Li has seen the account, so now, we have to look at the items out of the account.

"The total annual expenditure of the Horse Mansion is 113,000. The investment in the construction of Chang'an Academy is 5.8 million yuan, the construction of primary schools and middle schools at all levels of the state capital, the daily consumption is 120,000 yuan, and the investment in the research and development of underground bases is 15 million yuan. Feelings: This year, we are still losing money in the accounts of the Horse Mansion! Li Lizhi looked at several major expenditure items and frowned.

"Yes! In recent years, it has basically been in a state of integration, and the Horse Mansion has paid for the education of the entire Tang Dynasty by itself, which accounts for more than half of the total income and expenditure, and this year it has built an airplane, built an airport and a new mansion in the Western Regions and the islands, and the investment in the base is large, so it is normal to have a small loss, but money is a trivial matter for our Horse Mansion, the bank has sufficient reserves now, and if the Horse Mansion uses money, it can withdraw more than 50 million gold and silver coins and cash at any time, and the income of our house is not counted. Wang Erniu reported truthfully.

The total wealth of Datang has grown tremendously in recent years, if Yanglin earned more than 30 million guan a year in the early years of Zhenguan, it is considered to account for half of the country's wealth, and now it is at most one-tenth, at least Li Shimin in the palace is not less than what he earns, plus the treasury earns, according to Chu Liujin, the general manager of Datang Bank, estimates that the total amount of transactions in Datang now only commercial tax is about 1.5 billion guan, and the cash flow and total wealth cannot be calculated at all, judging from the 60 million guan business tax into the treasury, It is roughly equivalent to the income of the whole country in the heyday of the Song Dynasty, and this is not counting the taxes on workers and peasants, as well as some of the state's duty-free trade profits.

However, how many people did the Song Dynasty have at its peak, and how many people does the Tang Dynasty have now? In terms of per capita wealth, the people of the Tang Dynasty were more than twice as wealthy as those of the Song Dynasty at its peak. In the heyday of the Song Dynasty, it was rich in the world, and the per capita wealth was more than double the global index, taking this data to compare, the per capita wealth index of the Tang Dynasty is at least five times that of the global average index, because foreigners in this period are poorer, and the population of the Tang Dynasty is only tens of millions, less than half of the heyday of the Song Dynasty.

Li Lizhen and Wang Erniu don't understand these calculations, and they don't care, it is Li Shimin who is really worried about wealth, the annual dividends of the royal family are only a lot more than Yanglin, however, it is not a matter to pile up so much money in the palace, and the railway rail transit for a year does cost money, but for his income, it is only the tip of the iceberg, the steamer from Chang'an to Luoyang is about to open to traffic, there are hundreds of thousands of laborers, plus gunpowder and other pioneering weapons, it is not difficult to build a railway, and such a railway, It only cost Li Shimin a few million.

On the soft couch in the harem, Wang Xiyue helped Li Shimin press his forehead, at the end of the year, it was not only the Heavenly Horse Mansion, but also the time when the inner palace needed to calculate the general account, this year was Wang Xiyue's first year in charge, and in the face of tens of millions of huge incomes, she was also dumbfounded, so she invited Li Shimin to discuss with each other.

"The concubine thinks that we should increase infrastructure construction, such as railways and highways, we can't just build one in Luoyang, the Western Regions, Hanzhong, Shudi, Jiangnan, Lingnan, Liaodong, and even the northern grasslands, we should build them, when our steamer cars can quickly reach these places, the local people and Chang'an will be more closely connected."

Wang Xiyue said this aspect, in fact, as early as when she chatted with Yanglin, she heard Yanglin mention, many people did not understand why Yanglin spent so much money to dig the Yangjiang Canal, let alone he spent so much money to build a cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang, but now they understand, the road for the economy to stimulate the effect is obvious, with the current economic situation and stable external environment of Datang, it is the time for comprehensive development of infrastructure, when Datang's infrastructure is all built, then at least a few hundred years, No one can shake the dominance of Datang.

"I've thought of this, but now we have money, but we don't have enough professionals, you know? Just one Goryeo, Liu Hongji asked the imperial court to go to five hundred officials, not to mention the Anbei Protectorate, and the territories that Tianzhu had newly defeated, as well as Tubo! For those who are slightly talented, it's too late to become an official! I went there to find so many learned people to open mountains and build roads! Li Shimin spread his hands and said worriedly.

"Well, what Your Majesty said is also true, no wonder Tianzhu has invested his wealth in education over the years, I heard that this year, Chang'an Academy has dozens of junior high school graduates, and primary school graduates have reached tens of thousands, plus primary school graduates from various state colleges, there are roughly hundreds of thousands! I heard that the students who have graduated from elementary school are all proficient in writing and arithmetic, and His Majesty may be able to choose some people among these people who are willing to become officials. “

There are people in the palace who are easy to do, Yanglin originally built this education system to cultivate some usable talents for the Tang Dynasty, these plans were talked to Wang Xiyue and other people who came out of the Horse Mansion, and the credit system, the suspension system, can make the students' learning free and flexible, at the level of a primary school student, although it cannot govern big cities and counties, but small towns in remote areas are competent, of course, this is taken, or some older people enter school, have social experience.

After getting Wang Xiyue's suggestion, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately calculated in his heart, of course, the country's selection of scholars is not a trivial matter, and it requires the ministers in the court to brainstorm and discuss, and Li Shimin, who was worried about to be solved, and Wang Xiyue left after a while.

In the sky above Chang'an City, the long-lost Tianshen reappeared, since Guyue Daowen showed a hot air balloon in front of thousands of junior high school students, some things will float in the sky of Chang'an City from time to time, after two or three accidents, the imperial court had to issue a restriction order, but now the sky of Chang'an City is still colorful, many restaurants, inns, large shops, stalls will rise in front of a hot air balloon with a huge banner, of course, these hot air balloons are tied to the ground with ropes, In the increasingly developed streets of Chang'an, where people can't find their way, they only need to look up at those strange advertising slogans to know which direction to go shopping.

After causing a commotion among the people of Chang'an, the Tianshen landed directly in the imperial city schoolyard, and Li Zhi, who had a haggard face, took a few Muwei nobles and went straight to the palace with Yanglin's song in his arms.

"I'm thin."

After paying homage, Li Shimin personally helped Li Zhi, whose hands and face were almost blown off by the cold wind, and his eyes were full of love.

"The little hardship that my son has suffered is nothing compared to the soldiers of the Eastern Army, this is a sparse performance brought back by my brother-in-law before my son's departure, please watch it first and then talk about it." Looking at Li Zhi's frozen turtle-like fingers, Li Shimin felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't ask the few Murowei nobles kneeling behind him to get up, took the envelope, and opened it and hurriedly looked at it.

"Huh, civil service exams? That's a recipe. Yanglin's recital was very long, and Li Shimin watched it for more than half an hour before he finished reading it, and then closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, deducing the feasibility of the policies mentioned in it.

In fact, it is very simple, the imperial examination system is relaxed, reformed, according to the requirements of the imperial court, to the country's talented people to recruit Tang civil servants, those who pass the examination may not be officials, but they can eat the emperor's food from now on, and the imperial court will arrange and assign different errands to them according to these people's talents or physical conditions, or their place of origin, not like officials, more like officials, not only can they still improve themselves in the academy in the future, participate in the scientific examination to become officials, but also through excellent work performance, and directly promoted, This design can almost quickly fill the gap of low-level officials or clerks in the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no side effects, after all, the imperial court will recruit as much as it wants this year, and you will only come if you are willing to come.
