Zhao Hui asked the coachman to stop all the way, handed over the replacement horses continuously, and rushed to Luoyang in the starry night. After he came to Luoyang, he went to the palace as soon as possible and asked to see His Majesty.

Li Shimin did not see him for the first time, but asked him to wait in the palace next to him.

When he came here, he saw that the heads of the Zhang family, the Yu family and other families were already waiting here.

"Brother Yu, Brother Zhang, Brother Helan, don't come to harm!" Zhao Hui was not embarrassed at all, and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Brother Zhao came so fast, I almost didn't arrive in the starry night." The head of the Yu family next to him said without the slightest embarrassment.

"Each other, the old man has not stopped all the way, and it is still a step too late for you to get here!" Zhao Hui said lightly.

As soon as everyone sat down, someone walked in from outside the door, who was also an acquaintance of everyone, the head of the Chen family who had only met not long ago.

Everyone was not surprised to see each other, obviously they all knew that the so-called agreement before was complete.

After a while, a few more people came, and in short, all the heads of the gate valve families had arrived. Seeing that everyone was coming, everyone was disappointed, and they knew that when everyone came, then there would be no chance for them to betray others.

After everyone arrived, Li Shimin summoned these people in the side hall next to him.

For these high-ranking families and noble gates, Li Shimin didn't like them in his heart, but he had to use them.

This time, the imperial court took the handle of these people fiercely, and naturally it would not let it go easily.

It looks good to kill them all with a stick, but if you do that, it won't be long before someone else fills the place.

And these noble gate valves that have grown up will begin to follow the path that the previous gate valve family has walked.

Li Shimin wants to create a prosperous era through the ages, so he naturally doesn't want to be entangled in this, so he needs to be honest and obedient, cooperate with the family of high-ranking families, and honor the noble gate.

Li Shimin severely reprimanded these high-ranking families and noble lords, and then asked them to hand over eighty percent of the fields in Guanzhong, Hebei, and Longyou, and fifty percent of the hidden population.

Next, these high-ranking families and noble lords will send their sons and daughters to help the imperial court govern the world, and at the same time, in exchange, the imperial court can distribute land to them in the south, Hexi, Shunan and other places.

It can be said that the strength of these families and nobles in Guanzhong has been weakened by ninety, and at the same time, these high-ranking families and nobles have been able to share a lot of strength to go to southern Xinjiang and Hexi.

These places are all places where the imperial court has weak control power, and there are Hu people and barbarians who make trouble from time to time, Li Shimin asked them to go here because he wanted to use their strength to stabilize the border passes.

These high-ranking families and noble lords are naturally unwilling, if those places are really easy to go, why are few people willing to go for so many years?

If you want to gain a foothold in these places, you not only need a lot of money, materials and manpower, but also the probability of overturning at any time. But now the situation is pressing, and they have to accept Li Shimin's request.

Once refused, the end is self-evident.

Li Shimin will not overturn the entire Guanlong Group, but it does not mean that he will not clean up one of them.

These Guanlongmen valves, even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they can only agree. Agree to the request of the imperial court and open up to the border.

If the imperial court prevented the people from going to these places to explore, the ordinary people would not want to go in the first place, and could only look for those who were affected by the disaster.

However, these victims were almost destitute, and after the imperial court relocated them, they were also responsible for their food, clothing, housing, and various tools.

Moreover, the strength of these people is far inferior to that of the noble lords, even if they have the support of the imperial court, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold.

But the noble family and the noble family are different, they have a large number of tribes, food, weapons, goods, etc., and they are more united than ordinary people.

The probability of them going to explore is very high.

Li Shimin did not let them oppress the people in Guanzhong and Hebei, but let them go to the frontier to suppress foreign races. If they gain a foothold here, their power will also grow rapidly.

Of course, there is another problem here, that is, these families are divided into a part of it, and there will be no problem if the time is short, but after a long time, it will be divided, so that the strength of the Guanlong family and the Hebei family will be greatly weakened.

In addition to these, Li Shimin also let a large number of children in their family participate in the imperial examination.

If the imperial court wants to control the world, it needs a large number of basic officials. In the past, the imperial court did not have enough manpower, and the government decrees did not run smoothly.

Now Li Shimin is letting them go out of office, just to fill the vacancy, and at the same time, to make the imperial examination system deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After these Guanlong families and Hebei families surrendered, they retained part of their strength, and the imperial court also got a large number of acres of land.

In accordance with Wang Xuanjing's requirements, these acres will continue to be dragged into the system of integrating official land and land into one field.

The dispatch of these high-ranking families and noble lords to the border gates in various places is similar to the policy of dividing the land among the great cadres in those years.

In the past, Daqian relied on this method to continue to open up, but now that the productive forces have progressed, the situation faced by Datang is much better than that of Daqian.

Chang'an City.

After killing a large number of those who maliciously raised prices, no one dared to stop them.

Wang Xuanjing also began to take this opportunity to carry out cash-for-work.

Large quantities of food have been distributed, and the victims have been properly resettled.

Originally, the grain in the hands of those high-ranking families and noble lords was also bought back by Wang Xuanjing at a low price. The price of grain in the entire Guanzhong is already lower than that of the former Sui.

Now that the weather is still dry, Wang Xuanjing has carried out relief for these people, so that local governments can take this opportunity to build water conservancy and dredge ravines. At the same time, it also began to repair the road in Guanzhong, build a reservoir and so on.

Even many parts of Chang'an City need to be rebuilt.

The city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was built on the basis of the Sui Dynasty. The construction of Chang'an City in the Sui Dynasty took only one year, and a large number of old objects were used.

In addition, Chang'an City was also attacked that year, and some places also needed to be repaired.

Wang Xuanjing started all the projects, and then began to build them with work-for-relief. This time the imperial court spent almost nothing.

Basically, all the money comes from those people. The imperial court basically turned its left hand into its right hand, and basically only paid some grain to complete the construction of these facilities.

Through this operation, Wang Xuanjing not only did not spend money, but also made a sum of money, and at the same time helped the people, weakened the family Gaomen, and honored the noble gate, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop, and more importantly, everyone knows the prime minister's means, and if you want to work with Cheng in the future, you have to think about it.
