Section 316 The First Consulate of Datang [Second Update]
What is a Consulate?
Li Yuanxing did not explain that the modern meaning of the consulate must not be applied to the era of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Yuanxing has his own explanation.
"The king once asked Hui to make a promise, and now it is time for the king to fulfill that promise. Twelve acres of land, although not big, is the sincerity of this king! ”
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, let alone anyone else, even the King of Hui Khan was confused.
Twelve acres of land, what twelve acres of land! Is it paddy field, or dry land?
"A small courtyard, counting from the fence. Outside the wall is the Tang Dynasty, and inside the wall is the Hui. Walking within the wall is equivalent to walking into the territory of Huifu, and there will be such a place in Chang'an City. Let you go back to Chang'an to have a home! It also allows you to return to the officials stationed in Chang'an and have a place to live! ”
Did you hear it wrong? No, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that.
The King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to set aside a place in Chang'an City for Hui Hui, and this is Hui Hui.
Li Yuanxing ignored the surprised expressions of the six people, and continued: "When you enter the wall, what you abide by is the law of Hui, and outside the wall is the law of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention this king, it is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if my imperial brother wants to enter this courtyard, he must first submit a formal request to the Hui from Honglu Temple to visit Hui, and only then can he enter. ”
The Tang Emperor is coming, who dares to stop it.
Of course, this was not a nonsense thing to be said by the King of Hui Khan, but he asked a question.
"Your Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, there is something to ask in the lower country?"
"When asked, it is natural to ask. What is there to ask though! Li Yuanxing replied with a smile.
After the Hui Khan thought about it. Organize your statements as simple as possible.
"Your Highness, if a thief sneaks into the courtyard you have assigned to me. When? ”
"Then the king asked rhetorically? What should you do if a thief breaks into your home? Li Yuanxing walked up to the King of Hui Khan.
"Kill!" The Uighur Khan replied simply and directly.
"There's nothing wrong with that, you can kill, whoever it is. There was no formal visit, no consent from the Hui, and the person who was admitted to the hospital. Kill! Li Yuanxing's answer made King Hui's heart tighten, but he heard Li Yuanxing continue: "The sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, the sergeant who pursues the thieves will definitely not chase into your courtyard. ”
The Hui Khan seemed to understand. Laughed too.
"As a friend. Shimokuni thought that he should capture the thief alive and give it to the sergeant who caught the thief. ”
"The simplest word. Any act of daring to invade this courtyard at will can be understood as an undeclared war. It is an invasion of the territory, and the courtyard is the Huifu. ”
The Uighur Khan completely understood that there was such a place. It's status.
This is the sincerity of the Datang Covenant.
Li Yuanxing said again: "But." Ben Wang suggested. Even you Hui merchants should not live here easily. This represents the Hui Hui, and the people who live there should be envoys and military attaches stationed in the Tang Dynasty. And the scribes. As for the merchants, you can buy another courtyard, and the consulate represents the majesty of the Hui! ”
"Your Royal Highness Xie, I also invite the Tang Dynasty to send envoys to stay in the Hui Dynasty, and within the scope of his tent, it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will definitely send envoys to go, this is the friendship of allies!"
The Hui are willing, and the other five are naturally willing, and this resident envoy represents a very close alliance, but the relationship between the Hui and the little Khan of Tuli is not so friendly.
After sending off these six families, Cui Dunli said: "Spring will start soon, and after the beginning of spring, 10 million wool will be purchased." The tribes of the steppe have jointly requested an increase in their share, and the Holy Decree will add three percent. But it is still far from enough, only the Hui tribe has 50,000 sheep! ”
"Will they fight?" Li Yuanxing asked.
Cui Dunli shook his head: "At least not this year, but next year will be difficult to say." ”
"Is there any way to get them to fight this year?" Li Yuanxing asked again.
Cui Dunli still shook his head: "The subordinates can't think of a way." ”
Wei Zheng said: "The Staff Institute of the Qin Palace, the Tang Tianying Pavilion, naturally there are countless wise men, it is better to throw this problem to them!" ”
"This king has a plan, first to concentrate on purchasing one, and then another. See how the grassland reacts and make a decision. Sometimes, the internal contradictions are more terrible than the external ones. If the trading volume of the Hui is less than one percent of their total wool volume, then there will be internal contradictions first, they are the leaders of the grassland alliance, and they will not oppress others. ”
Yangmou, this is definitely Yangmou.
Wei Zheng is in charge of doing this, and Li Yuanxing believes that Wei Zheng will consider those details.
The poorest slums in Chang'an City were all demolished, and a large number of recruitment notices were posted in Chang'an City.
Many foreign envoys lined up here in the Honglu Temple, and they also wanted to get a piece of land and build a courtyard.
"Promise? weishenme wants to promise? Li Er stood in the imperial garden, looking at the plum blossoms in the winter snow, while talking to Wang Jishan, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji.
"The six families that Gorou selected, that is the six. The rest of the states want it, and they will drag it until next year. Otherwise, how can it seem that the six are different? Li Er picked a plum blossom and pinned one to his ear.
If Li Yuanxing saw it, he would definitely not be able to accept it.
It's understandable to say that women love flowers, and you, a big man who kills like hemp, also wear flowers, what is this.
But in fact, this is Datang.
The men of the Tang Dynasty painted powder, wore flowers, and rubbed incense. Even many people will never go out if they don't rub powder on their faces, and they are not young people, but some people of some ages do it.
For example, the eldest grandson Wuji!
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't like to go to Qinwangzhuang, the first reason was that he didn't want the scholars to feel that he was too close to Li Yuanxing. And another reason is that the men in Qinwangzhuang are not allowed to rub powder, which makes him very unaccustomed to it. It's even a little annoying.
The eldest grandson Wuji first praised Li Er's beautiful flower.
Then he said, "Holy Mingcha, this is a great opportunity. In terms of Hui, I can be a righteous envoy in the Tang Dynasty, and the people in the Security Department of the Tang Empire can be a military attache or a scribe, which is far better than the identity of a businessman, and can do a lot of things. ”
"Yes, Gorou mentioned that too!"
The eldest grandson said that the envoys from foreign countries, and even a few khans stationed in Chang'an were unwilling to leave, and there was no way for you to drive them away.
According to the report of the Security Department of the Tang Empire, there are at least a few hundred foreign spies in Chang'an.
And the Tang Dynasty is pitiful in the few fine works sent out in these foreign countries.
"What's the hurry?" Li Er glanced back at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Within five years, you have to fight without fighting, this is a national policy that has been set, so why not send someone a year later." ”
Wang Jishan also said: "Holy Lord, observe the good or bad things of this consulate, and then improve it, it is better to delay it by a year!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji obviously disagreed with Wang Jishan's statement, and set his sights on Fang Xuanling again.
Fang Xuanling is not a good person, but he must support Li Er. Of course, by the way, you also have to knock on the Seventh Family.
So Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and said: "It's okay not to send it today, just spend a year to select some available talents, the eighteenth big exam of the first month, and the twenty-eighth hall exam of the first month." Whether these people are talents or not, they must also be trained in Chang'an, and it is not too late to assign them according to their talents. ”
Fang Xuanling's words have been said very bluntly.
It can be said that in this big exam, more than half of the candidates who participated in the exam were from the Seventh Family, and then plus other scholars, less than 20% of the students from the poor family.
And these people, after they are really officials, the Seventh Family is the highest proportion.
"Let's choose the people who will go to these six states first, and we must pay close attention to the big exam. The Ministry of Rites must strictly investigate fraud, Zhenguan is the first big exam in the year, if something embarrassing happens, my face will be gone! ”
Li Er's words also faintly warned Wang Jishan, since you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. I don't ask you to give the poor a lenient one, but at least a chance to play fair.
"What the saint said is extremely true, and the ministers should be strictly investigated!" Wang Jishan bowed in response.
Li Er said again: "At the beginning of spring on the second day of February, where should this sacrifice be placed? ”
The second dragon raises its head in February, which is also the day of farming. The second day of February in the Tang Dynasty is almost March in modern times, the time of spring ploughing. The emperor naturally wants to sacrifice to heaven and earth and seek a year of good weather and rain.
Li Er had two locations in his heart.
The first is the Huangzhuang in the north of the city, where heaven and earth were sacrificed in previous years.
The second is Luoyang, because Li Yuanxing mentioned that he wants to make Luoyang a granary. What's more, Luoyang was also the basis for ensuring the confrontation between Li Er and Prince Jiancheng back then, so Li Er wanted to take this opportunity to go to Luoyang to have a look.
However, if you want to go to Luoyang, then you either have to transfer to Luoyang for the palace exam, or you need to hurry up.
The third place is Qinwangzhuang.
At the time of the autumn harvest, it has been sacrificed once in Qinwangzhuang, and it is really a little boring to sacrifice again in spring.
The eldest grandson Wuji knows Li Er's thoughts, but what can he do.
"Shengshang, it's better to put spring ploughing in Huangzhuang in the north of Chang'an City. How about the summer harvest in Luoyang? Wang Jishan proposed to fall.
"It's okay, it's settled." Li Erxin said that it would be good to wait for another half a year to go to Luoyang, just to see how the harvest in Luoyang was. As for Qinwangzhuang, I heard that some new things are planted, but it is good to have time to see the freshness.
Spring ploughing is a big deal! It is related to the rise and fall of Datang and the livelihood of the people in the world!
After Li Yuanxing dealt with the affairs of the consulate, he was already preparing for spring ploughing.
The village chiefs of all the villages in Qinwangzhuang were all summoned to the school field, because of the practice of the agricultural cooperative implemented by Li Yuanxing Qinwangzhuang, so Li Yuanxing was talking about the division of labor, the rhythm, and the details of each day's work. Li Yuanxing needs to get the farmers of Qinwangzhuang to move to the greatest extent and plant as many fields as possible! (To be continued......)
PS: There will be a wonderful plot tomorrow.
By the way, I hope I won't get drunk today, I just slipped out to pass this chapter, Khan......
