Chapter 246: The New Year is coming

A storm ended like this, which can be described as thunder and rain.

Above the court, there are very few civil and military officials who can see through this matter.

Most ministers are busy with another thing, that is, the New Year.

The court celebrates the New Year, unlike ordinary people, who only want a celebration, and also has strong political factors, which have an important impact on the development of the coming year.

"Xuan left and right prime ministers, six Shangshu, six servants, go to Hanyuan Hall to meet!"

When there were still eight days before the Chinese New Year, Li Tang issued an order to convene important officials in the DPRK and China to discuss the New Year.

The huge palace, without the majesty of the past, is red and silky, reflecting in the pool water, increasing the festivity, and even the imperial guards, the corners of their mouths are drawn across the arc, revealing happiness.

"Your Majesty, the New Year is approaching, and the twenty counties in the local area have all played and said that they want to come to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year for the king. ”

Wei Zheng stood up and said with a smile, his loud voice echoing through the hall.

The twenty counties refer to the thirteen counties of the Tang Dynasty, and the other seven counties are divided from the Baiyun Kingdom, the Xuanye Kingdom, and the Great Liang Kingdom.

"Nonsense, they came to Chang'an, whoever goes to manage the place, all of them are dismissed!"

Li Tang said that now, except for the local counties of Datang, the rest of the counties have just been occupied, and they are not very stable.

If the county government leaves, there will be less deterrence, and it is estimated that there will be unscrupulous people who will take the opportunity to make trouble.

"Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate, the local officials all have the heart of pilgrimage, if they all refuse, it will inevitably discourage their enthusiasm!"

Weichen believes that the annual meeting is a sacrament, and some county governments can be summoned every year, and the rest of the counties can send representatives to participate in the Chang'an annual meeting. ”

"In this way, we can strengthen the links between the central and local governments, and between local governments, and increase the competitiveness of local governments. ”

Wei Zheng said, with an opposing attitude, he said a few benefits, which made Li Tang fall into thought.

It is true that the central and local governments are a pair of contradictions, and the Bloody Guards and Red Flame Guards set up by Li Tang have not only foreign wars, but also monitoring places.

The Great Liang Country Blood Clothes Guard Branch was established because of this!

"Accurately, select five counties, and the county government will bring people to participate, and the rest of the counties will send representatives to participate. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Tang agreed, Wei Zheng nodded, retreated to his place, and sat cross-legged.

"Your Majesty! The New Year is approaching, and we in the court must pay condolences to the border soldiers, retire from the army, be wounded and sick, and build the imperial tomb sappers, so as to show the holiness of the king and the benevolence and righteousness of the court. ”

Fan Li got up, walked to the middle of the hall, saluted respectfully, and took out a piece of music, and said solemnly:

"The subordinates have been listed, and a total of 500,000 taels of gold, a certain amount of cloth, and 100,000 quintals of grain and grass are needed!"

Hearing the huge number, Li Tang frowned slightly, carefully checked the side of the music, and then said aloud:

"Accurate! Resource allocation, priority is given to veterans and wounded soldiers, followed by border soldiers, and finally to Huangling engineers. ”

Retired soldiers, fighting for the Empire, on the battlefield, were so badly wounded that they could not take care of themselves.

Border soldiers, in the bleak cold place outside the fortress, defend the territory, even if it is the New Year, they can't go home.

As for the sappers, they worked for the royal family, worked for the court, and worked overtime to complete the imperial tomb as soon as possible, which was very hard.

Therefore, these people are all meritorious people, and it is natural that they will be rewarded during the New Year.

"The king is shengming!"

Fan Li nodded, said respectfully, and returned to his original position.

"Your Majesty, according to the census of the officials, the local officials are still slightly insufficient, and I hope that it will be solved in the coming year. ”

At this time, the head of the household stood up and said.

The shortage of officials, this problem has always plagued the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, and various ways have been tried to alleviate it, but it has not been solved.

If you want to blame, blame the expansion speed of the Tang Kingdom, it's too fast!

"Well, this king knows! When the annual meeting comes, the matter will be completely resolved. ”

When Li Tang heard this, he held the imperial pen and wrote two words on the king's decree - Holy Courtyard!

These two words, Diwei is widely spread, and Xuewei is rich!

............

Qingtian County!

The people who have migrated out have moved back, and their families are rich, and their families have surplus money, and they are living happily.

As the birthplace of Li Tang, compared with other counties, Qingtian County enjoys much more resources.

Although the winter is cold, it is very festive, full of New Year's mood, around the county government, is hanging red silk, Zhang Ti Xi Lian, extraordinarily lively.

"Alas, be careful, don't get hurt!"

At the gate of the county government, Wang Peng shouted loudly, wearing the uniform of the county guard, and his eyes were bright, looking around.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, along the way, he could be regarded as witnessing the rise of Li Tang, from a proton who had no power to fight back, to become the king of a country.

Dominating the Three Kingdoms, I am the only one! Every time I think about it, I am full of emotion.

In the two-year campaign, he was born and died, ascended the throne in Li Tang, rewarded meritorious deeds, and was named the head of Qingtian County, becoming the highest administrator below the central level.

On the eaves, several laborers, stepping on ladders several meters high, were cleaning, and when they heard Wang Peng's words, they said with a smile:

"Lord County, don't worry! Just this little bit of work won't hurt us. ”

Wang Peng pursed his lips, walked to Shishi Change, and warned loudly:

"Then you have to be careful, finish the work for the house, and go home for the New Year. ”

When the workers heard this, their hearts warmed, and they started to work more actively.

"Drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves, whistling from the streets and alleys in the distance, was like a bolt of lightning, attracting everyone's attention.

When I looked closely, I saw several lions, horses, and beasts, carrying eunuchs in the palace, a five-rank eunuch, and four nine-rank eunuchs.

"Qingtian County Mansion Wang Peng takes the order!"

Before the horse arrived, the voice of the people had arrived, and everyone in the county government was shocked when they heard it, and hurriedly put down the work in their hands, gathered at the gate of the mansion, and knelt respectfully.

Wang Zhi, that is, the king's will, represents the king!

"Tang Wang Ling, Wang Peng of Qingtian County, has a good governance, and has a special opportunity to enter the annual meeting and enter Chang'an, I hope that you will make persistent efforts in the future!"

The five eunuchs dismounted, took out the king's decree, read it aloud, and the sound was blessed by the aura, spreading throughout the entire city lord's mansion, and then echoing over the city.

"The king is shengming!"

Wang Peng was overjoyed, and took the holy decree with both hands, and yesterday they received a flying letter, saying that only five counties participated in this court meeting, but they did not expect that Qingtian County was also in the arrangement.

But after thinking about it, the historical process of Qingtian County also feels normal.

"Congratulations to the head of the county!"

"Hey, you can make a pilgrimage to Beijing!"

The workers who worked all said with a smile, Qingtian County was summoned, doesn't it mean that the court attaches importance to Qingtian County, and the resources issued in the future will be more.

"Thank you!"

Wang Peng hurriedly said, said a few kind words, and then entered the mansion, packed up his things, and left the county mansion.

Like Qingtian County, those who were summoned by the court also included Weidong County, Nanping County, Daliang County, and Wangguan County!

The four teams, holding the Datang flag, rushed day and night because of the tight time, and they must rush to Chang'an before the annual meeting!

Chang'an, eternal memory, eternal hope, eternal hope, go!

The rest of the county capitals were depressed, but they also sent a team of envoys to Chang'an.
