In the meeting room, these officials did not kneel down again when they came in, and stood in two rows according to the order of their rank.

"Tell this king in the simplest words, how much is there a gap in the granary?" Li Yuanxing asked, while motioning Cui Yiye and Yuan Chun to start recording, Yuan Chun is now wearing some men's clothes, and she is now the secretary of the Qin Palace.

The word secretary is not understood by the people of Datang.

The officials of the Qin Palace, only Yuan Chun is the personal scribe of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The officials of the household department looked around, and Zuihou nodded to Du Zichun, the commander of Chang'an County, Du Zichun made an exception, and said after giving a salute: "Your Highness, the official warehouse of Chang'an County is ...... compared with the harvest of Qinwang Farm this time" Du Zichun paused for a moment, and his face was bitter: "Your Highness, you can't even fit a tenth." ”

Chang'an Shaofu also made an example: "Your Highness, Chang'an Guancang, Yaozhou's grain production can be loaded with up to 30%. His Majesty suggested that Yaozhou grain should not be transported to Chang'an, and the grain transported from Luoyang has already made me embarrassed! ”

Only then did the household official say: "Today's wind and rain are smooth, and there are bumper harvests reported in all parts of Datang." ”

"Too much food, worried?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Naturally, you have to worry, and it is a happy event to have more food. But it is a great sin to be damaged because of improper storage. Your Highness has poems, and every grain is hard! The official of the household department said: "I will plead guilty and be punished." It has been reported to Tianying Pavilion, and it should be possible to come up with a solution as soon as possible. ”

Li Yuanxing thought for a while and asked, "What is the price of grain in Chang'an?" ”

"Last night, it was down to nineteen and two buckets!"

"Have you calculated, what is the most appropriate price for food?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

Then. A voice came from outside the door: "How the price of grain drops to six wen and one bucket is the great prosperity of the world." When they turned around, they saw that it was Wang Jishan who had come in, and they all bowed.

After Wang Jishan returned the salute, he bowed to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, you are allowed to enter the hall at the end and ask Your Highness for guilt, but when I hear the price of this grain, I really can't wait." ”

"Come on, get ready! Serve tea! Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "This is just a living room." It's not a council hall! ”

"Your Highness. Food prices must be kept under control and not all in one day. Otherwise, it will be the farmers of the world who will be damaged. The household department has been put on the table, and the grain price limit in Chang'an and Luoyang is ten wen per bucket. Although the rest of the states and counties have a bumper harvest. But there is still not enough food for the people to eat all year round. So food prices won't fluctuate too much. The Criminal Department has issued a document prohibiting grain traders from maliciously manipulating grain prices, and those who violate the law have their property confiscated. The whole family is enslaved! ”

Li Yuanxing nodded, the officials of Datang were still very clever, and reacted immediately.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing smiled: "That's it, what is the guilt or not, this time Chang'an and Luoyang have a bumper grain harvest, and all the officials have also worked hard, handle this matter with their hearts, and ensure that the grain particles are in the warehouse." ”

"Yes!" The officials responded in unison.

Li Yuanxing said again: "Yiye, write a document to the six ministries on behalf of the king, saying that after the promotion of immortal grain, there will be an increase in grain production in the states and counties, please consider that the states and counties must have a preparation in advance, if there is a bumper grain harvest again, there is no warehouse to store grain, to be accountable!" ”

"Your Highness, is it in triplicate, the upper table is sage, and then a copy is sent to Tianying Pavilion and the six departments!" Cui Yiye asked.

"Very well, that's it!"

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he got up: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, since you have come to my Zhuangzi, then you can eat breakfast and lunch together, the promotion of immortal food in Chang'an, this king wants to hear your opinions!" ”

"Your Highness!"

In the banquet hall of Qinwangzhuang, there are no longer couches or small tables in several small boxes, but high-backed chairs and round tables for ten people.

"Sit casually!" Li Yuanxing's sentence is extremely normal in the modern era of later generations, and the host will naturally say such a sentence when he invites guests to his home.

But it is different in Datang.

All the officials did not move, and Wang Jishan shouted: "No! ”

Li Yuanxing was stunned, let's have a meal, what's the matter.

When Li Yuanxing was puzzled, Wang Jishan said loudly: "Your Highness, it is polite to enter the table. This round table for ten people makes people feel more close, but it is still polite. ”

Li Yuanxing was completely speechless, and Wang Jishan continued: "In terms of orientation, sitting in the north and facing the south is the first seat. Naturally, the left is the main seat, and in a small box like this, the back wall door is the first place, and the left is the second main seat......"

Wang Jishan spoke very quickly, and talked about the rules of the table, especially in terms of etiquette.

Cui Yiye and Yuan Chun quickly recorded on the side, and then they saw the gap between the pen and the brush, Cui Yiye used a brush, Yuan Chun used a fountain pen, Yuan Chun was recording very easily, Cui Yiye's forehead was already oozing sweat.

"This, change the small table!" Li Yuanxing finally couldn't stand it.

Wang Jishan's face turned white, and he was about to persuade Li Yuanxing, and he must not be rude. Li Yuanxing said: "Yiye, in the name of this king, please Yu Gong, Jiang Gong, Gao Gong ......" Li Yuanxing said a long list of names: "These are the great Confucians of the world, and they also invited Yuan Laodao and other famous people and celebrities, and today's dinner has set a etiquette for this round table!" ”

"Great goodness!" Wang Jishan turned his surprise into joy, and proposed a few names, thinking that these people were also celebrities.

This time, it is equivalent to inviting dozens of people, and all of them are old guys.

Cui Yiye was not asked to write the invitation, but Wang Jishan wrote it himself, and among these celebrities, you can tell who wrote it just by looking at the font.

After this meal was finished early or late, the officials left, and they really needed to worry about the summer harvest.

In Li Yuanxing's small living room, Li Yuanxing invited Wang Jishan to sit down, and said straight to the point: "Divide two pieces of land for this king, one in Tongguan and one in Qinling Mountain, Zhashui County." ”

"There is no need to delineate, there has never been a subdivision of prefectures and counties in the Qinling Mountains, and His Royal Highness has been assigned to Chang'an County. Tongguan is the gateway to Chang'an, the place of the garrison, and His Royal Highness will change to a guard, and it will naturally be under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness. So this one doesn't need to be divided. Wang Jishan happily agreed.

In Wang Jishan's view, Li Yuanxing's request for land is nothing more than something new that needs to be made in a specific place.

The principle is that the Maison is supportive.

And where Li Yuanxing wanted, the Tang Emperor basically supported it unconditionally.

What Li Yuanxing wants to do in these two places, I'm afraid that only Li Yuanxing and Wu Cao know. Li Yuanxing has never mentioned it to anyone, and Wu Cao naturally won't say it.

"Then the king has one more request!"

"Your Highness, just mention it!" It's another thing to make a request, whether to agree or not, and it's always right to listen to it first.

Li Yuanxing took out two seals: "This king asked for two additional departments, one of which was added out of thin air. Benwang asked for the addition of the Ministry of Agriculture, which was specifically responsible for the agricultural development of Datang. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the current Sinong Temple alone is not enough, and there must be officials in charge of agriculture in various states and counties, as well as special agricultural skills guidance departments. ”

After hearing this, Wang Jishan thought seriously for a moment: "This, you can have it." But the details need to be discussed again. ”

"Okay, then the king said the second one." Li Yuanxing opened the second seal: "The Ministry of Rites is now in charge of the contact with foreign countries, as well as the matter of the Enke Grand Examination." These two are to be separated, either by adding a Ministry of Foreign Affairs or an Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Rites is no longer enough to complete these two things. ”

"Increase the Ministry of Education!" As soon as Wang Jishan heard about the education problem, he was headed.

Now in Datang, in Chang'an alone, there are tens of thousands of children waiting to enter the official school, how do these tens of thousands of people teach, how do they learn. The Ministry of Rites is simply overwhelmed. And then there's the secondary school, and then there's the university. Coupled with the thousands of foreign students, Wang Jishan is really about to die of exhaustion.

The separation of the two parts mentioned by Li Yuanxing is definitely to his liking.

Wang Jishan said some ideas about the separation of the functions of the Ministry of Rites, which is not only Li Yuanxing, but also he has produced it.

Originally, the six parts were handed down like this a long time ago.

No one thought of adding another one, and there were so many positions in each one.

Beginning with the addition of the Ministry of Commerce, the number of officials was added to the Ministries.

"Your Highness, it is feasible to propose two more. Again, many details must be taken into account! ”

"Tianying Pavilion should handle this matter!" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically.

"Exactly, Tianying Pavilion should deal with such a thing. Lao Yu has been having a headache for many foreign students who have asked to come to Datang to study recently, and he is about to get an idea from His Highness. ”

As soon as Wang Jishan took out the opinion documents sorted out by the Ministry of Rites, a guard outside came to report that several of the guests invited by Li Yuanxing had arrived first.

"It's here!" Li Yuanxing was a little surprised, how long has it been.

Wang Jishan was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Your Highness, this is all thanks to the fire-swallowing dragon car, from Chang'an City to Qinwangzhuang, an hour is enough time to go back and forth, and it is not surprising that a few people arrived first." ”

"It seems that the railway needs to be repaired more!" Li Yuanxing sighed with emotion, got up and prepared to greet the guests with Wang Jishan.

Outside the small meeting room, the old wolf was waiting.

Seeing Li Yuanxing come out, the old wolf gave a salute: "Your Highness, I will go to Luoyang to take up my post today!" ”

The old wolf, as Li Zhengbao's deputy, has been approved by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.

The old wolf returned to Chang'an with Li Yuanxing, just to move his family over, which would take at least a few years in Luoyang.

"Your Highness, the old man will go to greet the guests first!" Wang Jishan thought that Li Yuanxing must have something to say to the old wolf, he didn't wait here, and went to greet the guests first.

Li Yuanxing called the old wolf into the house: "I have nothing to explain, in short, cooperate with each other and defend Luoyang!" ”

"Yes!" The old wolf nodded heavily.

"Who is the Tongguan guard, this king wants to arrange a new Tongguan guard, where this king has a big deal to do. Do you have any haode recommendations? Li Yuanxing asked directly.

"General Cheng's eldest son is reliable!" (To be continued......)
