In the desert grassland, a flock of sheep in the sky, grazing leisurely on the grass, if the green space is replaced by a blue sky, it is like a cloud in the sky, a beautiful view. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's a pity that it's just an outsider's feeling, Gu Letu is used to this beautiful scenery, but he is still very happy. I was happily calculating how much these sheep could be sold for in winter, when they were about to harvest their wool. Then he planned to slaughter a batch and sell the meat, but these ten rooms had to be calculated, and when it was cold, he could kill the mutton and put it on the table for one night, and then it would be hard and just enough to sell it to the Han people.

"Fortunately, back then, the master listened to the persuasion of the Han officials and raised these sheep." , he muttered to himself, back then, his father, after listening to the words of the Han officials, did not raise horses, but raised sheep, so that he has a bumper harvest now.

In recent years, the wool textile industry has risen in the Tang Dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, they are happy to wear woolen clothes, and use various wool products, which makes the price of wool soar. Wool is in short supply, although the Han people raise sheep, but they are not as good as them, they are professional cattle and sheep households. A large amount of wool was supplied by their grasslands, which made his income much better.

He was very glad that the master was wise back then, and he listened to the persuasion of the angry Han official, and sold the horses and cattle and replaced them with sheep. They exchanged all the horses for a sheep, which they were all against, and were ridiculed by the other tribes, but now they became the most proud of them.

They even had chickens, and now the price of the wool has skyrocketed, and so has his income. Chickens can be eaten by themselves, there are eggs, and if you raise more, you can also sell them in bulk to Han caravans. Just as he was imagining, his partner pulled him by the hand, and when he looked up, he saw five fast horses coming here again in the distance.

"Yo, Gu Letu, it seems that you are going to earn a lot more this year." When the person approached, a man in a woolen sweater turned over and dismounted, and greeted loudly, "I envy you, it would have been nice if I had raised sheep back then, but now it is worthless to raise horses, and the Tang people themselves have raised them, so that the price of horses has dropped a lot, and now the price of sheep cubs has risen wildly, and the price of horses has plummeted.

"Dachi, if you want to buy it, I can make it cheaper for you." "No, no, it's good to raise horses, I'll raise horses. When the time comes, I'm going to go to the horse racing festival, and the horse racing festival is coming, and then I'll be making money on horses.'" Gu Letu frowned, and was about to say something, but found that the eyes of the visitor were not looking at him, but into the distance, and he also followed his gaze, and then his brows furrowed.

In the distance, more than a dozen carts, winding coming, this is the grassland caravan, carrying goods from the Han region, all kinds of fine cloth, as well as wool products, grain, tea, salt, ironware and so on. Then all kinds of meat were purchased from the steppe, and the wool was returned.

This is the most popular Han people on the grassland, in addition to buying goods, there will occasionally be medical workers with the team, help to see adults and children, all kinds of diseases, as well as guide them to raise livestock, help the livestock to see a doctor. He will raise horses or not, change to sheep, and also guide the caravan.

"It's coming, it's coming." Gule Tu rode his horse, he wanted to go back to inform the tribe that the caravan had arrived, and he hurriedly prepared all the supplies and milk tea, but he had been waiting for the caravan for many days.

"Dasuk, go back quickly, maybe the next one will go to your tribe." Before Gu Letu left, he did not forget to turn around and shout a reprimand, and then went back to report the news, leaving a few companions to watch the sheep. That Dachi replied casually, glanced at the direction the caravan was coming from, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, stopped talking, and took people away.

"Master, the caravan has arrived." When Guletu returned to the tribe, an old man at the gate of the tribe was looking in the direction he had come from, and when he saw him running closer, he asked, "Who was that just now?" "Darea." Hearing this answer, the old man nodded, "Don't let them come over in the future, it will cause trouble."

"Why?" "It's not just him, the Bird tribe will have to stop interacting with him in the future." "Why, master, although we are different tribes, we can't be rich, so ignore them." "They'll get us in trouble." , The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he could trap mosquitoes, but now his brows were furrowed deeper than wrinkles.

"What do you think he's here for, he's here to find out where the caravan is going, and when the caravan leaves us, they're going to rob it. With so many horses, do you really expect them to win money from horse racing?'

"Rob it, grab it, anyway, we just get something, this one is robbed, there will be another family." , Yes, Gu Letu disagreed, and even said that he was a little moved, the prairie is very chaotic, and the disappearance of one or two caravans is nothing, either you rob me on the prairie, or I rob you, and I can only say that I am weak.

If there was any order before, now on the grassland, the order is falling apart, and the tribes are united to protect themselves, fighting endlessly, and they can't even protect themselves, so they can only blame themselves.

"You stupid thing, the caravan has been robbed, who would dare to come, besides, if something happens near us, when the Tang Emperor asks us, it will be counted on our heads." "No..." "What's not, don't say that robbing one or two caravans is nothing, the Bird tribe and Han slaves, these will bring disaster to them, get too close, even we will be relocated."

"A few slaves, is it that serious?" Gu Letu muttered, the Han people have grassland slaves, and they use Han slaves, isn't it fair? This is what he doesn't understand, a few years ago, all the tribes jointly invaded the Tang Dynasty, and were defeated by the Tang army, and they were forced to spit out and take away the Tang slaves.

In fact, they didn't vomit much at all, and the tribes tacitly returned only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, young men and women, and those skilled craftsmen, not a single one. Only his grandfather not only listened to the words of the Han people to raise cattle and sheep, but also handed over all the captured population to the caravan and asked them to bring people back to the Tang Dynasty.

God knows, if that caravan changed hands and sold slaves to other tribes, why bother? Only the Tang people were allowed to use grassland slaves, and the grasslands were not allowed to use Han slaves, these Han slaves were ingenious and much easier to use than those clumsy herdsmen on the grassland.

"If it was the Khan of Heaven before, it would not be serious, but now this one is serious." , Tian Khan, the previous tribes were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, in order to tie up the Tang Dynasty, they rushed to send the "Tian Khan", the name to Li Chen. Therefore, Tian Khan represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was in the past or now.

"This Rouzi Festival, I heard that the Tang Dynasty is going to send an envoy to question us." Seeing his son so stupid, the old man sighed, is this his own species, or when this child was a child, he accidentally fell to that time and smashed his brain.

"Envoy? This feast of meat is the day of the horse race, and the messenger shall inquire of what." The Rouzi Festival is a traditional festival of the Turkic people, an annual event. When the grass grows in autumn, people gather, connect with each other, trade goods with each other, play games together, and unmarried men and women go on blind dates, which is a big day.

Nowadays it is also known as the Horse Racing Festival. Because of the rise of horse racing in Datang, racecourses were built in various places. The Rouzi Festival originally had a major event in horse racing, but later evolved into a horse with outstanding performance in the Rouzi Festival, and you can participate in the Tang Horse Racing Conference.

This is a great opportunity for the steppe people to turn over. If you win the game, you will have a huge prize, and the prize money is so high that it is definitely a huge number that a herdsman will never earn in his life. Even, if you are ruthless and sell the horse that won the ranking, the family can live a good life.

Therefore, this meat festival and horse racing festival are getting bigger and bigger every year, and everyone is working hard to get the rankings. Even if you just take the horse to Chang'an, it's all worth your life, and you have the capital to brag to others.

Because of this, this meat festival will attract all the heads of the department to visit every year, and everyone will agree that near this day, there will be a truce, so that everyone can rest assured that they can have a good festival. But now that Datang is going to send an envoy, it seems that this day is going to be difficult.

"Alas, what is the so-called matter of the envoy sent? It was for the grassland caravan brigade to be attacked, and for the sake of the original statement that it would be released to the Tang Dynasty slaves, but it was not done, and the Heavenly Khan sent an envoy to ask about it." "Well, that's terrible." , Gu Letu couldn't help but look worried, although the Tang Dynasty army has not been out of the jam for a long time, but Xi is an exception, the place where they live is at the door of the Tang Dynasty.

If Datang really sent an envoy to question, the first person to fall into the frieze would be Xi Ren. Once Zhang Zhongwu, and the other time was a few years ago, although Xi Bu did not have much damage, he also reaped a lot of benefits after that. However, the prestige of the Tang Army has long been deeply imprinted in the minds of the grassland men. Other tribes may not be careful, but the ridicule in the mouth of the Tang family will definitely be unlucky first.

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I don't necessarily really do it for a few people." For Gu Letu's luck mentality, the old man shook his head and didn't speak, but looked at the southwest direction worriedly, which was the direction of Chang'an.

The things on the grassland, Datang doesn't pay much attention now, the focus is on Chang'an, Li Chen is in Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty official system is being rectified.

In addition to the fact that the system itself is not a conscious and reasonable division of labor, the more important thing is that it is too troublesome to implement. Among the three provinces, the draft edict of Zhongshu Province, the supervision of Menxia Province, and the implementation of Shangshu Province, it is just trouble to do it seriously.

It is impossible to carry out government affairs at one time, and the result is that official documents are transferred back and forth between the three provinces. The governors of the three provinces must draft, refute, and approve it many times. This is not their own discussion, they still have to ask the emperor's opinion, and the official document has to wait for the emperor to be overturned. Finally, it was handed over to Shangshu Province for implementation.

This creates a problem, there must be diligent emperors and courtiers, otherwise that link will be delayed, and the overall efficiency will be low. Or, if the three provinces push each other and pull each other's strings, the overall efficiency will inevitably be low.

In order to improve the situation, the emperor repeated the previous steps of the formation of the three-province system, and used people close to him, such as Hanlin scholars, to carry out government affairs.

Or, directly let the Zhongshu Province take full responsibility, and the Zhongshu Province upholds the emperor's will, drafts the edict, and implements it. In fact, although there were still shadows in the three provinces and six ministries until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, they were all nominal.

In the Song Dynasty, the center was the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province, and in the Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, there were only Zhongshu provinces, and there were no other two provinces at all.

In response to this situation, Li Chen made a change, he officially listed the political affairs hall of the Tang Dynasty, replaced the two provinces of Zhongshu and Shangshu, and became the executive body of the Tang Dynasty's decrees.

The political hall appeared in the early Tang Dynasty, originally to let the governors of the three provinces have a place to negotiate government affairs, and Emperor Taizong set up the political affairs hall. At first, it was in Menxia Province, where the prime minister went to discuss government affairs, and saved official documents from running back and forth, delaying time. Subsequently, due to the transfer of power and responsibility, it was moved from Menxia Province to Zhongshu Province, until now.

Now, the function of the government hall is expanding day by day, and it has become a center within a center. From the place where the prime minister deliberates, it has become an institution where Datang actually has to make decisions on government affairs and implement them. The members are composed of prime ministers, and there are five rooms, including officials, households, soldiers, criminal rites, and cardinals, who respectively lead the responsibilities of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty.

The political affairs hall has a prime minister with a pen, called the ruling pen, which was originally responsible for handling government affairs, and later evolved into a similar cabinet chief assistant in the Ming Dynasty, which is regarded as the head of the prime minister. Because this position was controlled by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong for a long time before An Shi, it was stipulated that this position would be held in turns, each for ten days. In the Dezong period, it was reduced to one day.

Li Chen abolished Shangshu Province, anyway, it was useless for a long time, he adopted a cabinet system similar to the Ming Dynasty, officially put the political affairs hall into a ruling body, and restructured all the following departments, replacing six ministries and becoming nine ministries, and each head of the ministry automatically became a member of the political affairs hall.

In addition, the position of Tongping Zhangshi was also retained, and the emperor could appoint the prime minister himself, and no matter what position, if he was appointed as Tongping Zhangshi, he would be qualified to discuss with the prime minister.

In the end, it is a pen, change it every ten days, or even change it once a day, to avoid one person being dominant, but what's the point of this? Of course, he is not afraid of someone's dictatorship, but he is reduced to an ordinary official who handles political affairs, and at worst, if he encounters something and it is very difficult to deal with it, he will become able to procrastinate.

Li Chen has settled, and the prime minister of Bingbi will serve a four-year term and can be re-elected once. Each Bingbi is selected by the emperor from among the people who have the title of Tongping Chapter. And because of the implementation of the new performance appraisal law, it is inevitable that the new Bingbi will need to submit a policy report to the emperor.

Not only the new appointee, but also the content of the policy address every year, mainly to report on the development of Datang last year, what problems there are, and how to improve. And looking forward to the coming year, what are the policies for the coming year?

The political hall has to be changed, it is not a big problem, in fact, Li Chen is currently doing this. Since he got rid of Ma Yuanzhen, there are no eunuchs and chaotic government, every time he discusses the matter, Li Chen recruits the prime minister in the Ayaqi Palace, holds a meeting to discuss the topic, and lets the ministries implement it. The real big change is something else.
