The era method was also changed, and the Tang State did not adopt its own era method, but adopted the Kaiyuan era.

The day of the Yellow Emperor's accession to the throne is the first year of Kaiyuan, and this year is 3052 of Kaiyuan, and all the era methods from then on must be changed to this.

As long as the date of appearance in all historical books must be changed to the Kaiyuan era.

There are so many advantages to this dating method that I won't go into them all here.

The calendar also adopted a new solar calendar, with 365 (six) days a year.

The error of the lunar calendar is very large, and the error can be more than ten days a year, so sometimes there are more than 380 days in a year, and sometimes there are only 300 days in a year.

The arithmetic of 365 (six) days per year has an error of only a few tens of seconds a year, and rounding is equivalent to nothing.

The Gregorian calendar is not transmitted from the West, China has had a Gregorian calendar since ancient times, and the stems and terrestrial branches are the Gregorian calendar.

It's just that in ancient times, there was a lack of timekeeping tools, and the changes of the sun were not as obvious as those of the moon, so people began to use the moon to keep track of the day.

But the solar calendar has not disappeared, and the 24 solar terms are calculated according to the solar calendar.

In ancient times, China has always used the lunar calendar to calculate the days, and the solar calendar to calculate the solar terms to determine the farming time.

This is the essence of the lunar calendar, which is neither a simple lunar calendar nor a simple solar calendar, but a lunisolar calendar.

The reason why Wen Yi adopted the Gregorian calendar was simple, he had enough paper and mastered the printing technique, so he could print calendars and send them to the people.

The people could use the calendar to calculate the days, and to a certain extent, they got rid of the restriction of looking at the moon and keeping time.

If there is a country, there must be a law, and a new "Tang Law" was promulgated, which abolished many cruel punishments on the basis of the Qin and Han laws, and also abolished some laws and added others.

For example, a new system of taxation of forced labor was introduced.

There is no way to requisition this Wen Yi, and it must be requisitioned. In the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century, the elders of the family also served as forced labor to dig rivers, not to mention ancient times.

Taxation was formally established for the officials and gentry to pay grain as an errand and for all kinds, and various harsh taxes such as poll tax were abolished, and only land taxes were collected.

Some special taxes, such as commercial tax, also have corresponding laws, but they have not yet been promulgated.

The follow-up is the resignation of the specific position.

Xue Dayuan served as a cabinet scholar and secretary of the Order, Chai Ben served as a privy envoy, Gan Xian served as a court lieutenant and secretary of the Criminal Department, and Mo Jun served as a secretary of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites.

Wu Yi served as the head of the household department and the head of Mengqicheng, Zhao Zhengzhi served as the guard captain, and Gu Yi served as the Guozi priest and the health doctor supervised the sacrificial wine.

Xiao Baishan served as the cabinet and the chief manager of Jin'an County, and He Fang, Yue Shan, Liu Meng, Ma Yibai and others also held official positions.

As for the temporary vacancies in the departments of Imperial Doctor, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and other departments, it should be said that most of the official positions are in a state of vacancy.

It's not that you can't find someone to fill it, it's that it's not necessary. For his own person, it is a waste of manpower and material resources to engage in so many officials.

In fact, apart from a few more titles, the work they do is not much different from before.

The main reason is that Wen Yi's strength is too weak, and there are not many people under his rule, so he can only build an empty shelf first.

Even if most of the positions are vacant and unfilled, it is better than none. As long as the shelves are there, they can be slowly expanded, which is much better than waiting for things to come to an end.

One resolution after another was passed, and the framework of the Tang Kingdom was gradually completed, Wen Yi was very excited, and others were also very excited.

Although they are still very weak, it also means that they have stepped from a grass platform team to the right track.

The honor and status they pursued also had an initial return, and then everyone's goal became clearer and made the Tang Kingdom stronger.

Only in this way can their honor have a higher gold content and their status be more stable.

In fact, the strength of the strength depends on who it is compared with, and it is indeed weaker than the Jin Dynasty and those alien forces in the north. But compared with the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, most of them are not as strong as he was then.

It's just that Wen Yi has more ambitious ambitions, and he has no intention of smiling himself behind closed doors, his comparison target has always been the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he naturally feels that he is too weak.

Weights and measures were also adjusted, mainly as a unit of weight, and one catty was changed to ten taels instead of sixteen taels.

The end of the meeting was naturally a grand banquet, and Wen Yi was also unprecedentedly extravagant, as long as there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, everyone ate and drank happily.

The people were worried that the establishment of the Tang Kingdom would affect their lives—in fact, it did—but they soon discovered that it was all good.

What really reassured them and even changed their attention to support Tang Guo was because of a law:

Abolish all excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and do not have to pay the poll tax, only the land tax.

There has never been such good governance in the history of time, and if even such a ruler does not support it, who else is worthy of it?

This also has the credit of "A Brief History of China", before the people did not know much about history, and even did not understand the era in which they lived.

They don't know why the world is in turmoil, why aliens suddenly appeared.

A brief history of Huaxia told them everything - it turned out to be the chaos in the world caused by the royal family's comrades.

To say that they have no complaints about the Jin family in their hearts is false, and now it has become normal to turn to support Tang Guo.

At the end of the seventh holiday of the Lunar New Year, all departments officially went to work.

Gu Yi immediately recruited thousands of more clever and literate people to concentrate on learning new knowledge of the law and calendar.

Then organize everyone to go to the countryside to popularize these things to the people, so that the people can better understand what this country is like.

Calendar books are also indispensable, and they are distributed door-to-door, one for each household.

The literacy efforts of the first few months have played a big role, and even the most receptive people can recognize some simple words and read the calendar book without any problems.

As for the subsequent formation of the yamen, Xue Dayuan, Gan Xian, and Mo Jun were in charge, and the preparation of the Privy Council was handed over to Xie Daoyun.

Wen Yi only needs to catch a total.

He was not idle, but was ready to launch a new offensive just after the New Year.

"There is a plain to the south of us, and this is ......" Wen Yi marked the former Jianan Plain on the map:

"This is the largest plain in the whole of Dongning Island, and it is also the plain with the most rivers and the most abundant water resources, and we are going to take it down next."

Xue Dayuan put forward a different opinion: "We don't lack land now, we only lack people, and even if we take this place down, we can't afford to develop it." ”

Wen Yi said: "Of course, I know that I can't afford to develop, and it's not all for the land here, but for the salt. ”

Xue Dayuan said in surprise: "Is there a salt lake or a salt well?" ”

Everyone else was a little excited, salt is money.

Wen Yi shook his head and nodded again: "There is no salt lake or salt well here, but there is indeed salt, the sea is salty, and the salt in it is inexhaustible." ”

The crowd was immediately disappointed.

Xie Daoyun said: "Boiling the sea for salt not only wastes firewood, but also the quality of the salt obtained is extremely low, and eating too much will cause poisoning, even if ordinary people are not really poor and can't get by, they don't want to eat sea salt." ”

Wen Yi smiled: "That's the wrong method they use, I have a method that can easily obtain a large amount of refined salt without consuming a little firewood." ”

Xie Daoyun hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

Wen Yi said affirmatively: "Of course it's true, that's why we have to take this plain and choose a suitable place to dig a well to take salt and brine salt." ”
