Chapter 58: The Abolition of Curfews

What Xu Yang didn't expect was that overseas plunder would have such a big return, no wonder many countries in later generations did not hesitate to fight for a small island, marine resources, mining resources, and transportation resources, these things contributed to the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty's colonies.

The current prosperity of Quanzhou has exceeded everyone's expectations, and although there are only a few words in the excerpt sent back to Chang'an by the Quanzhou Thorn History, it can still be seen from the words What earth-shattering changes have taken place there.

'Hundreds of thousands of sails, harbors, barns, ploughing, and hundreds of thousands of people who fled from the mountains returned. ’

Ships of spices pressed back to the entire coast, as well as ships of gold and silver, Datang's gold reserves were more than double a year ago, Li Er's private treasury unknowingly had more than one million yuan of personal assets, and the development of Quanzhou's commerce was like a rocket, almost a day and a town construction speed.

Li Shuangzhong shook the fold presented by the Quanzhou Thorn History, and stared at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with some playfulness.

"But Aiqing came to tell me what happened to my Tang Dynasty now, I have to review these folds for five hours every day, and it seems that there are more and more states."

"Your Majesty's blessings are all to show your Majesty's rapid changes in the Tang Dynasty, which is the credit of Your Majesty and the luck of the people in the world." The eldest grandson Wuji praised Beban.

\m.(wc)(xiaoshuo). Com Li Er raised his head with some emotion, "I have seen the rapid changes in my Datang, these things are unheard of by me, for example, three years ago, which Aiqing believed that my Datang also had a full granary one day?" Nowadays, the three-season rice in Quanzhou is planted all over the mountains, and the excerpts are written in the absurd and grotesque words that the granary cannot hold and I have to believe. "Li Er is a little embarrassed." According to the test of the Ghost Valley. This winter is the time of the fall of the Turks. At that time, if the Western Turks can really be wiped out in one fell swoop, the development of our Tang Dynasty in the past hundred years can be counted and waited. ”

"Your Majesty!" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all said in unison.

"Now I have also tried to plant the first batch of potatoes and corn in Lantian County, and next year's improved varieties can be popularized in the four counties of Chang'an, and in another year, this high-yield crop will be planted in Zhengguanzhong." When Li Eryi talked about high-yield crops, his tone obviously became a little cheerful, an emperor who had seen the hardships of the people at the bottom. Deeply know what food means, which means that there will no longer be famine in the Tang Dynasty, once the people have food to survive, no one will rebel, and the Tang Empire will continue to be forever.

"I lifted the curfew two days ago, can you still get used to it?" Li Er asked to the people in His Highness.

"Your Majesty, it would be unwise for the minister to think that it would be unwise to abolish the curfew." Wei Zheng has always been very opposed to the abolition of the curfew, and today Li Ergao mentioned this topic, and he really stood up again to defend his opinion.

"In the past two days, Chang'an has been singing every night. The people are lustful and cannot extricate themselves. As the so-called "Mencius. "Confession" said: Born in sorrow and died in peace, the minister felt that the abolition of the curfew was a state of peace and happiness, and it was necessary to prohibit it. Wei Zheng's speech has always been clear and clear, and it is difficult to refute the scriptures.

Li Er sat high on the throne and didn't speak, he was waiting for the ministers in the court to divide themselves into factions, and if there is opposition, there must be support, the emperor's task is to coordinate the contradictions between them, and Li Er, the emperor's technique, has been handy and superb.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Duke Wei's words are biased." Fang Xuanling, who has always been known as a good man, stood up for some reason, "As we all know, the cancellation of the curfew was proposed by Guigu, from the first year of Zhenguan, what Guigu did, the minister has never found the slightest disadvantage to my Datang, and the cancellation of the curfew that the minister saw is also the people living and working in peace and contentment, laughing and happy, and the minister also personally went to the Kanglong Street last night to take a tour, which is prosperous, so that the minister was dumbfounded, according to the construction of the Guigu, the business of the Tang Dynasty will become the largest tax under the agriculture, And it's a tax that can be levied at a high rate. The corners of Fang Xuanling's mouth were full of smiles.

"His Majesty only allocated 100,000 guan to the Perak Academy for the research and development of firearms some time ago, and 70,000 of the 100,000 guan were only taxed by the Chang'an Business Club, which shows how much the prosperity of commerce has brought to my Datang, and the cancellation of the curfew is just a symbol, which is an attitude shown by the court to the people who are doing business in the world."

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, the court began to buzz, this was the first time that the topic of agriculture and commerce was provoked in the court.

"Fang Gong is going off the rails, deliberately changing the topic, the minister is not talking about agriculture and business today, but just talking about the impact of this curfew on the people of my Chang'an." Wei Zheng frowned, "The abolition of the curfew has caused the people of Chang'an to indulge in the sound of dogs, and the minister heard yesterday that many brothels in Pingkangfang are full of people every night, which shows the shortage of wine, so the minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to withdraw the ban." ”

"What Gong Wei said was biased." A sturdy, tall middle-aged man stood up, he was dressed in a green robe, wearing a red fish charm on his waist, and he was also a member of the dynasty, but Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was also known as the righteous son of 500 people, and was born in the rivers and lakes recklessly, and after taking refuge in Wagang and descending to the Tang Dynasty with Xu Shiji, he began to step into Li Er's court step by step.

"The day before yesterday, he and Hou Gong wandered on Chang'an Street, and found that since the curfew has gone, the people's wisdom on Chang'an Street has increased, and the teahouses and restaurants that tell stories are full, and even the old man can say a few words about the current diplomatic affairs of my Tang Dynasty, and the minister believes that the curfew will not only not make the people die in peace, but will improve the people's wisdom."

Hou Junji saw that his teammates were all on it, and hurriedly stood up with his fists in his hand, and said, "The minister thinks that Zhang Gong's words are very good. ”

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to have said it, and all of them stood behind Fang Xuanling, as if they were supporting this good old man with actions, presumably Wei Zheng was a little miserable, and there were only six or seven Qingliu officials standing scattered behind him, all of whom adhered to the ancestral system and were unwilling to abolish the curfew.

Li Er also seemed to have come to a conclusion, and waved his big hand, "The curfew will be abolished and continued, and I will see how the world has changed for a period of time, and retreat!" ”

At the end of the court, Xu Yang was sleeping in a daze, sure enough, since ancient times, the consultation meetings have been so boring, since Du Ruhui finished the report, Xu Yang lowered his head and began to sleep, and the things behind him were almost only vaguely listened to a little.

The Manchu Dynasty dispersed, Xu Yang also left the palace, and was about to return to Xujiazhuang, when he saw the gate of the palace, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi were standing there, as if they were waiting for someone.

Cheng Chumo's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw Xu Yang coming out of the palace gate and ran over excitedly.

"Big brother, there is a shortage of you, I heard that there was a song 'Wuji Dance' in Pingkangfang recently, and my brothers made an appointment to go together. I'm just waiting for you, big brother."
