The news from the tavern quickly spread back to Li Chong.

Li Chongjian's reaction was still a little okay, and then he took out the second and third volumes.

After giving the second volume and the third volume of the guards, I ......

Li Chong asked the other party to go back to Chang'an, and don't come to Luoyang in the future.

After all......

If the other party stays here, maybe Li Zhong will be exposed.

Of course!

If Li Chengqian had seen this story, it would have been very clear, and he must have written it.

But......

They probably won't say it directly.

Not......

Just in case, Li Chong still had to write a letter to them, so he was relieved.

……

By the middle of the year.

On Xue Yantuo's side, Yi Nan's two sons also seemed to have decided the winner.

But the son who won in the end was more or less brutal.

That......

When he learned that it was the second son of Yi Nan in the end, he got the position of Khan.

The leader of a tribe that was once attached to Xue Yantuo in the Turks brought his 30,000 people to the Tang Dynasty.

Actually, let's be honest.

The reason why Datang has been able to win many battles and do a very good job in intelligence work is also very related to these people who defect from time to time.

After all......

When there is a war, you have a leading party, and you don't have a leading party, which are completely different concepts.

……

Luoyang Palace.

Li Er also asked Li Chongdao, "What do you think?"

Li Chong said: "Let's see in a few months, if Yi Nan's second son is really brutal, then the other grassland tribes will definitely not obey him, and when the time comes, when the other party betrays his relatives and leaves, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Er naturally understands this truth, but ......

He didn't know when he was going to die, which is why he seemed so anxious.

By the end of the year.

Under the leadership of the marching governor Ashina Sheer, the country of Qiuzi was also destroyed.

After the battle, Ashina Sheer received Li Er's edict and began to look for people who knew how to grow cotton.

Although Qiuzi is very suitable for growing cotton, it is still a little far from Datang.

It's inconvenient to transport.

Liaodong is bitterly cold, and a large number of cotton clothes and quilts will definitely be needed in the future, so it is better to directly introduce cotton to Shandong in the northeast of Luoyang to bring planting.

And then there's ......

Li Chong himself actually wants to wear cotton clothes and quilts.

When he was very young, he didn't like to wear cotton clothes and quilts, because he thought it was very bloated to wear them like this, but when he got older, he wore all kinds of clothes, anyway, as long as it was warm.

He has done so much for Datang.

Can't just enjoy it?

Make yourself a padded coat too?

Speaking of which......

The business atmosphere in Luoyang is no worse than that of Chang'an, and even surpasses it.

This is not!

Since coming to Luoyang, Li Chong can clearly feel that the women around him seem to have become much more beautiful, whether it is clothes or jewelry.

Maybe it's because Caoyun has become developed again?

This year......

The Academy of Sciences built several more light steamships in Yangzhou that could sail on the Cao Canal.

The emergence of these steamships gradually led to the development of the entire Cao Yun.

Behind a steam ship can pull ten cargo ships of almost the same size, their principle is like a steam train, this transportation volume, it can only be said that Luoyang is not prosperous.

But that's the case.

Looked at the present

The population of Datang, Li Chong still felt a little dissatisfied.

Li Chong: "The population of Datang is still too small."

Fang Xuanling is already full of gray hair this year.

After all, it's already seventy.

After listening to Li Chong's words, he also said: "Population health has its own laws, and it is difficult for us to control them."

Li Chong: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, did you decree that all widows or something, the government should let them remarry?"

Fang Xuanling said, "There is such a thing."

Li Chong: "I think childbirth should be encouraged. Do you have any good ideas?"

Fang Xuanling: "Forehead ......"

Li Chong: "For example, if you give birth to a son, you will send a pig or something, and if you give birth to a daughter, you will give a dog."

The eldest grandson Wuji said, "How can there be so many pigs and dogs in the whole world."

Li Chong: "Yes, I can only go with the flow."

In fact, the birth rate of Datang, Li Chong remembers that it is okay, and it seems that it can be 12 per 1,000 or how much.

That's already a pretty good birth rate.

Merely......

At present, there are only 3.6 million households.

You must know that in the year of Tianbao, it is nine million households.

Of course, that was a hundred years later.

Li Chong can only say......

I don't think I'm blessed like that.

Li Chong: "I think we should continue to move the people who have little land in the customs to Henan and even Hebei."

Fang Xuanling: "But when the 200,000 people migrated before, the people were already quite complaining."

Li Chong: "I'm not doing it for myself, I'm thinking about them. When the natural disaster comes, they will have to go hungry, so you have to make it clear to the lower officials. I want to convey my intentions."

The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Then why don't you do it yourself? And let the left servant shoot it."

Li Chong: "I'm lazy. But speaking of which...... The left servant should pay more attention to his body."

If Li Chong is not mistaken.

It seems that Fang Xuanling is already fast.

Of course!

Actually, it's not easy to say.

Because the reason why Fang Xuanling died so quickly in history must be related to King Wei, the crown prince, and his son, the spiritual internal friction in the history books is too serious.

In addition, in Li Er's later years, the internal atmosphere of the imperial court is not too good, to be honest.

However, now it is completely different from what is written in the history books, and the spiritual internal friction of the Tang Dynasty is much less than what is recorded in the history books.

That is possible, Fang Xuanling doesn't have to worry so much, and his lifespan may be able to live longer than before.

While Li Chong was holding the household registration information, he looked up at Fang Xuanling, who was already full of gray hair.

To be honest, Datang still can't live without Fang Xuanling.

After all......

Where to find such a good, low-key prime minister?

If Fang Xuanling dies now, who do you say will take his place and be the left servant?

Li Chong himself is definitely inappropriate, and he doesn't understand it.

The eldest grandson Wuji?

It certainly can't be him.

And now under the three of them, you can't even find one that you think is good.

And also.

Ma Zhou is also old now.

Li Chong skimmed his head and looked at the entire side hall, except for himself who was a young man, everyone else felt old, weak, sick and disabled.

Li Chong felt that even if Li Er was not allowed to be the emperor, however, next, it was the turn of young people to appear.
