Datang time and space, Chang'an City......

As spring turns to summer, the weather in Chang'an is slowly getting hotter. Although it had not rained for several days, neither the people walking in the streets nor the peasants farming in the villages near the city looked worried.

The great war against the Turks at the beginning of spring not only achieved a huge victory, but also brought countless benefits to the Tang Dynasty. If it had been before, the people would have been very happy with such a big victory, but they would not have received any vital benefits.

But this time it was different from the past, after the victory of the army, the people of Chang'an City were stunned, and a large number of captured Turkic soldiers actually began to build canals, sluices and other aspects of the city under the supervision of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

And this kind of work is also called "labor reform".

The construction of the new Waiguo City was not only to provide stronger and stronger protection for Chang'an City, but also to establish new commercial and residential areas. After the construction is completed, a large number of people will move from Chang'an City to Waiguo City.

According to the design drawings, there are 8 north-south streets and 14 east-west streets in each of the cities. Drainage ditches are set up on both sides of the street, and street trees such as elm and locust are planted. There are also public toilets, a small park for visitors to rest, and so on.

Don't look at Chang'an City as the main city, but in terms of living environment and hardware support, these four outer Guo cities are much better than Chang'an. Not to mention, those who are willing to relocate will also receive subsidies from the Datang government, which is a real benefit for the people.

In addition to these four, Guo Cheng. The Tang army also supervised the Turkic captives to carry out large-scale renovations of water sources such as the Wei River in Chang'an and the Bahe River in the east of the city, as well as the Chan and Wei rivers, such as setting up huge sluices to control droughts and floods.

At the same time, canals and reservoirs have been built that can play the role of water diversion and storage, and can also share the flood disaster when necessary. In places where water is not easy to use due to the high terrain difference, huge waterwheels have been erected, and in some places where conditions are more difficult, water harvesting equipment using animal power has been established.

With these sluices, canals, and waterwheels, Chang'an City and several nearby counties alone can be greatly controlled by droughts and floods that occur almost every year. There are no more floods. Naturally, the grain in this field is growing very well.

In addition, they are all high-yielding crops. In the short term, there will be no more worries about food and agriculture.

As for the question of whether the use of prisoners of war to work will bury hidden dangers, it must be inevitable that the Datang official will do it himself, but with those given by someone in advance. Let the eldest grandson be unscrupulous, they are cunning and cunning. Ahem...... All kinds of "good advice" twitching at the corners of the mouth of the old scheming people. Nature is that everything is under control.

And on this day, the people of Chang'an City suddenly discovered a very strange thing. That is, there are a lot of Taoist priests and monks on the street, if there is no news. Most of the people in Chang'an City will think that there is no one in the city who is going to hold some kind of land and water conference.

The eastern city of Chang'an City is also a wealthy area in this era, and there are already a lot of people sitting in a huge mansion at this time. If there are people in the mixed officialdom here, they will find that in this huge courtyard with a simple plaque of the Li Mansion, there are all the big officials who can count in the Tang Dynasty.

That's not all, as a team of people and horses escorted a luxurious carriage parked at the door of this Li Mansion, I saw Li Shimin, who was under the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, walking down from it in civilian clothes.

Originally, Li Shimin didn't plan to let people report it, but the subordinates who couldn't stand the Li Mansion didn't dare to break the rules. So, Li Shimin stood at the door of this mansion and looked at it, and saw the Wenchen generals led by Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly coming out from inside.

"Okay, don't be polite, save trouble." Li Shimin, who shook his head, waved his hand to stop the courtiers who were about to make a big salute, and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The courtiers who knew that it was indeed not beneficial to make a big gift at this time immediately gave up their hands one after another.

"By the way, Zhenren and Yuan Daochang haven't arrived yet?" After the courtiers had finished saluting, Li Shimin then asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhenren and Daoist Yuan haven't arrived yet, and it's still a little bit of time." took off a pocket watch from his waist, opened it and looked at Fang Xuanling, and replied.

In fact, Li Shimin also knew that he was the king of a country, and it was indeed a loss of identity to come so early. But when I think of today's incident, to some extent, it is more important to me than getting the throne, and it is calm enough to endure it until now.

"Since we're here early, let's wait." Li Shimin, who had actually checked the time before getting out of the car just now, nodded and said.

In the face of such an arrangement, all the civil and military generals present naturally did not dare to object. So, surrounded by Li Shimin, he returned to the reception hall of this mansion.

Although the number of people who came this time was really not small, it couldn't stand the frightening size of this hall. Not to mention this little bit of people, even if it is doubled several times, it will not look crowded. In addition, all kinds of supporting furniture, decoration and layout are very elegant and practical, giving people comfortable enjoyment at the same time, but also very pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that these are replaced with decorations that can definitely amaze visitors, but no one cares at all at this time. If it weren't for Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, who took the initiative to find words to chat, it is estimated that the atmosphere in the hall would definitely be more depressing at this time.

After sweeping past a few courtiers who looked a little absent-minded, Li Shimin couldn't help but recall that day more than half a month ago.

At that time, Li Shimin was alone in the inner hall to review the recitals, and suddenly a familiar voice sounded in his head: "Your Majesty, the poor Dao Pure Yang Zhenren asks to see." ”

At the beginning, Li Shimin instinctively thought that this was his own time, and he always thought about the batch of cultivation items that were taken away, hoping that there would be a method in them that could help him cultivate and become an immortal, but he had auditory hallucinations.

But when I think about it, I eat and rest very regularly during this time, and I have to play Tai Chi 6636 times a day, and my physical condition is much better than before, and there is no reason for the disease to have auditory hallucinations.

And at this time, the familiar voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, don't be confused, it is indeed a poor way." If His Majesty has something to say, just open his mouth. ”

"Real people?" Li Shimin, who was still a little uncertain for a while, immediately asked.

"It's me, Your Majesty." Li Anran, who was outside Chang'an City, replied with a smile.

Seeing that it was indeed the one he had been looking forward to day and night during this time, Li Shimin, who knew that the other party would never take the initiative to contact him if he had something important, held back the excitement in his heart and asked: "What is the matter when the real person came to see this time?" ”

"Huh...... So that His Majesty learned that Poor Dao had taken a batch of books and items about the cultivation methods of the Nether Realm from His Majesty before, to be honest, Poor Dao really didn't think that these things could be of any use, but he didn't think that there was really a big opportunity in this. ”

"It can also be regarded as a blessing under His Majesty, taking advantage of this great opportunity, the cultivation of the poor Dao that was originally abolished and had to be transferred to the Shinto Dao has finally been restored, and this time I came to end this great cause and effect between His Majesty and His Majesty." Li Anran, who was standing on the top of the mountain outside the city, explained with a smile.

"Great cause and effect?" Li Shimin, who didn't react for a while, first waved his hand and sent away all the attendants and internal guards who were waiting on the side, either openly or secretly, and said.

"That's right, this Heavenly Dao of the Nether Realm handed over this opportunity to the hands of the poor Dao through the hand of His Majesty, this is the cause, and the poor Dao has resumed its cultivation because of this, this is the result. In other words, the poor way owes too much to His Majesty, and the cause and effect must be settled first. ”

"Otherwise, not only will the cultivation of the poor path be inchless, but if you are not careful, you will make mistakes again because of it. When the time comes, I'm afraid that Poor Dao won't be as lucky as this time. Li Anran, who knew that the other party was still a little wary and precautionary about himself, said with a smile.

After listening to Li Anran's words, Li Shimin's heart was pure nonsense to say that he did not regret it.

Just kidding, the other party said that there was a big chance in the pile of things that were taken away. Moreover, Li Shimin has long heard about Li Anran's cultivation being abolished, and he had to switch to Shinto cultivation after the last time, so what a chance it must be for the other party to regain his cultivation.

If you don't put these things in the hands of the other party, maybe one day you can get that great opportunity from them.

It's just that regret is regret, but Li Shimin thought about it, and the pile of things that were sent out of the country had been in his hands for a long time. He also specially allowed Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice, as well as other Taoist masters he had found, to come over for details.

It's a pity that after such a long time, these guys can be regarded as honest and honest guys, not to mention finding any great opportunities from them. Even some books and things that were originally rumored to be miraculous turned out to be fakes that proved to be deceptive.

And before the thing arrived in Li Anran's hands, it was only a lot of time, and he actually got a big opportunity from it. Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin also had to admit that although he was the king of a country, his luck in this regard was really bad enough.

After lamenting his luck, Li Shimin also felt that Li Anran was able to find the cause and effect, and it was not his own chance. So, he cleaned up his mood and said, "In that case, then invite a real person to come here and talk about it." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, then we'll see you later." Li Anran, who got the reply, cut off the long-distance spiritual communication after speaking.

Although it was clear that he had the ability to teleport directly into the inner hall, considering that this kind of behavior would make Li Shimin too nervous. At the same time, he also said before that the influence and restriction of this person's Emperor Dragon Qi on himself had to change his method.

I saw a seven-colored rainbow light rising from the top of the mountain, crossing an arc in the air and falling in the direction of the inner hall of the palace in Chang'an City. (To be continued......)
