Li Shimin made a series of efforts to guide the social atmosphere, such as releasing the three thousand palace maids to let them get married, just to let the bachelors of the Tang Dynasty see that the emperor cares about the marriage of single men and women. And he also set an example, I hope that the powerful people below will not marry concubines all the time, let alone raise the outer room and corrupt the atmosphere.

Next, he is going to let go of the four hundred death row prisoners, and let them come back by themselves in the autumn, so as to establish the integrity system of the Tang Dynasty, mainly for business, after all, all countries come to the court, this is trade.

Just like Guan Zhong's reform in Linzi back then, merchants were attracted to Linzi, and after selling goods to make money, they could spend in Linzi. Li Shimin also hoped that the merchants of all countries would come to Datang and exchange the goods for money and consume them in Datang, or exchange them for Tang Sancai, porcelain, silk and other goods in Datang.

The most important thing in doing business is integrity, if even Datang's death row prisoners can be honest, then foreign businessmen can completely trust Datang. Datang said that when the delivery will be delivered, and what price will be the price, it must be Tong Suo who is not bullied, and everyone will make money together.

So letting the death row prisoners go back can be described as a large-scale performance, and Li Shimin never thought that they would not come back.

Yun Yao also has to admire Li Shimin's methods, sometimes a good story is indeed worth a thousand words, it is better to tell a story than to be reasonable.

Naturally, the newspapers should report on this matter vigorously, after all, a good story must be widely told.

Wu Meiniang's first job was to report on the return of death row prisoners to their hometowns, starting with writing work. Since Li Shimin has given his talent to his daughter, Yun Yao is not welcome, this is a capable leader, there is no need to waste too much.

As a very enterprising woman, she didn't stay for a moment after leaving the palace, and immediately accepted a new job. However, in addition to her work, she was still researching Yun Yao's route, and found that Yun Yao was very interested in foreign countries in addition to some ancient books that recorded technology. Whether it is the Western Regions or Haiyi, they have done a lot of research, especially let Honglu Temple send a lot of translation materials, learn foreign languages by themselves, and also open a foreign language private school.

Technology and trade, these are the two key points that Wu Meiniang keenly grasped from Yunyao's action, so she also studied hard, and even went to exchange and learn from foreigners by herself, giving full play to her long-sleeved ability to dance, and soon met many people. This is social, worthy of a person who dares to say in front of the emperor that he uses whips, hammers, and daggers, is bold, has a lively heart, and is simply invincible in the social field.

Yun Yao was ashamed to see it, when she was Wu Meiniang's age, she couldn't communicate with strange foreigners so naturally. Wu Meiniang has no problem at all, no matter who it is, she can put forward her own opinions without offending the other party, and get the approval of the other party. Even if she is not a female emperor, she can become a good diplomat or politician, and her ability to express herself is really terrible.

After Yun Yao observed Wu Meiniang for a while, she felt the need to communicate with her. It just so happened that the matter of the death row prisoners returning to their hometowns was also settled, and finally the four hundred death row prisoners returned, and in recognition of the credibility of the death row prisoners, the emperor pardoned their death sentences.

A grand performance about credibility came to an end, and everyone expressed their sincere admiration for the emperor's martial arts and the Tang Dynasty's culture and faith, which ended successfully in a sound of praise.

Wu Cairen also wrote a piece of "Reputation, the Weapon of the Country" as the end, of course, it is indispensable to praise Li Shimin's outstanding contributions. The Tang Dynasty runs fast, it all depends on the emperor's leadership, and Li Shimin has played a leading role, so that everyone can develop together on the right path.

Anyway, he praised Li Shimin, and praised him very smartly, which made Li Shimin very happy.

"It's been a while since you left the palace, are you still adapting to life and work?" Yun Yao found Wu Meiniang today for cordial and friendly condolences.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, there is nothing unsuitable, everything is fine." Wu Meiniang saluted.

"Don't be so polite, these etiquettes are forgotten, now there is too much red tape in Datang, and the efficiency is too low." Yun Yao said that Datang needs to develop now, and it is necessary to pay attention to efficiency and not to salute.

"Then I'll trespass." Wu Meiniang knows how to obey the other party and not disgust the other party, but where she should insist on her own opinions, she will not back down, and the rest is as the other party wishes.

"My father assigned you to my subordinates in the hope that you can give full play to your talents, you have been working in the palace for a while, and I also sent some materials here before, and I came today to hear your opinion." Yun Yao gets to the point.

Sure enough, the princess came over to see her, and Wu Meiniang was mentally prepared. In fact, she was a little flattered, after all, she was waiting for a summons in the palace, and she would never say that someone more noble than herself would take the initiative to come to her. The princess was the first to ignore the courtesy of the monarch and the corporal of Lixian, and this feeling of equality really made her very excited.

Yun Yao did send a lot of information before, and Wu Meiniang has also read it, there is information about the Western Regions and Haiyi, there is also information about technology, and of course there are some records of the current situation of Datang, all of which are presented in the form of data, which is very intuitive.

However, these materials are not planned, even if they are materials, Wu Meiniang can't guess the princess's thoughts from them, but they must have something to do with industrial upgrading.

This is a brand-new concept, but even the emperor attaches great importance to it, and Wu Meiniang has also worked hard to study it, but the entire industrial upgrading involves all aspects, which is too huge, and I don't know what kind of information I have in my hand. But she'll talk about it from a trade perspective, and there has to be an entry point anyway.

"I took a look at the trade data of Datang and the Western Regions and Haiyi countries, which have been improving in recent years, and with the convenience of shipping becoming more and more reflected, the importance of Haiyi trade has gradually surpassed that of Western Regions trade, which was reflected in the Sui and Tang dynasties. For example, Goguryeo would import iron ore from our Datang, and after returning to China, it would forge swords and then export them to Datang. Many nobles did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to buy a Goguryeo sword in order to ask for it. There is also the Lingnan region, which is the trading port of Haiyi in the south, and the goods they trade there will continue to the north. I don't think it's a good phenomenon that even goods from the Western Regions will come by sea from the south, and that while shipping is strengthened, land transportation from the West should also be enhanced. Wu Meiniang saw the situation of sea transportation surpassing land transportation, and pointed it out.

Yun Yao nodded, this problem has existed since ancient times, and the development of Zhucheng began by relying on water transportation, because the cost of land transportation is really too high, and the cost of water transportation is low.

Now that the maritime trade has become more and more prosperous, the Haiyi country on the coastline has also been developed, and in the Tang Dynasty, Haiyi also had spare money to upgrade, so for the first time, the busyness of sea transportation exceeded that of land transportation.

Whether it is the Western Regions or Haiyi, only with money can you do business. In the past, the Western Regions were more fully developed and had more money, so the trade of the Silk Road was the most important. However, with the improvement of the development of Haiyi, they are also seeking development and upgrading, and Yunyao's intervention has accelerated the development of sea ships, so the scale of Datang's shipping has surpassed that of land transportation.
