Tang's dining table

Li Zhi did not kill people, so the fake Chu Suiliang was expelled from Chang'an. However, everyone knew that he would definitely die because there was a cruel queen in the Tang Dynasty.

In Datang, as long as you don't go to court, all you receive is good news.

The Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty killed 3,000 cross-border soldiers and horses of the Shi Kingdom in the Mihu Di formation, and built a Jingguan in Mihu Di as a warning to those who came after.

This incident also led to the Shi Kingdom's envoy in Chang'an being hanged in the street. Three days after the corpse was exposed, it was delivered to the Imperial Medical Office to be made into a teaching skeleton. It was used to distinguish it from the two original Tang Dynasty skeletons and to look at the two people of different races. The skeleton is different.

The seven Zhechong Prefectures in Jiannan of the Tang Dynasty were in Bozhou, and they wiped out sixteen barbarians who had united to invade the Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty. The army passed by, and the barbaric land once again fell into a barbaric and uninhabited state.

In the Battle of Baijiangkou, the Japanese dared to invade the Tang army, but Li Zhi never issued an order to investigate.

However, in February, the Japanese king once again sent an envoy from Baekje to Chang'an, presenting six brocade boxes, each of which contained a human head. After investigation, it was found that these heads were from Baijiangkou. During the war, the chief general of the Japanese kingdom was Azumirafu, a member of the Abehirov clan.

The envoy also brought a large amount of silver, hoping to appease the anger of Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Zhi was not so easy to calm down. He ordered the Japanese emperor to abdicate immediately and let the wise man take the throne.

No one dares to ignore Li Zhi’s opinion now!

Their emperor was very powerful. This was how the people of the Tang Dynasty perceived the emperor.

His emperor treated the people very kindly and promised them that in the coming years, they would strive to reduce the increased taxes since the Yonghui Year to the level of the Zhenguan Year. He also promised the people that half of the wasteland they would reclaim in the future It can be classified into the center of Yongye Field.

The emperor also decided to completely abolish corporal punishment and replace it with flogging and rod punishment. In principle, the punishment should not exceed five hundred miles.

His own emperor also stipulated that no road guide was needed within five hundred miles, and abolished the bad habit of paying city gate fees.

Some new rules were also set, for example, the master was not allowed to kill his slaves without reason, and if he was discovered, he was not allowed to pay a fine to atone for his crime.

These new regulations came out in the third year of Xianqing, and they are collectively called the Xianqing New Deal.

These are legal provisions that are extremely beneficial to the people. The people of Chang'an City even organized a group of elderly people, carrying umbrellas of all people, tents with fingerprints printed by all people, and various strips of cloth cut from the shrouds of countless old people. Strips of silk and satin were used to make a cloak of good fortune and longevity for the emperor.

Naturally, Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie spared no effort in encouraging the emperor to do more good deeds and promulgate more legal provisions that were beneficial to the people.

When more than 300 elderly men and women held umbrellas, tents, and cloaks and braved the cold wind, they walked along Suzaku Street to the outside of the Imperial City, attracting crowds of people from all over the city.

After Li Zhi got the news, he took the queen and all the civil and military officials on foot from Taiji Hall to the entrance of the imperial city.

Under the watch of all the people, he accepted the worship of these elderly people, and together with the queen personally received the gifts from the old people, and also helped two of the centenarians, Rui, get into the emperor's car and went to the Tai Chi Hall for a banquet.

At the banquet, Li Zhi personally composed songs to congratulate these old people on their birthdays. After the banquet, he also specially gave these old people Rui generous rewards and sent carriages to send them home one by one.

After this public spectacle, the news that the three hundred old men Rui prayed for the emperor soon spread throughout the Tang Dynasty together with the emperor's new policy of Xianqing.

There was another sentence that came out at the same time.

The emperor said: "My people are the best people and should not be treated harshly."

With Wannian County, after the incident of offering gifts to the elderly in Chang'an County, the same work of offering gifts was launched with great fanfare in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that it can make Li Zhi happy for a whole year.

"I hope that after this incident, those cruel and vicious things can only happen in the court and not spread to the people."

Di Renjie took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth. Over the past few days, he had been teaching those elderly people to say auspicious words, which had made his throat a little inflamed.

She sighed softly and said: "My ancestor has submitted a memorial to beg for bones. Your Majesty has reviewed it and given some rewards, allowing my ancestor to return to his hometown in Qixian County to serve in the ancestral temple.

The ancestor told me that he had completely separated me from the Wen Family Ancestral Hall.

From now on, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with the Wen family.

Not only does our family do this, many other clans also do this, expelling the most outstanding children from the family, and each one does it more cruelly and more cruelly than the last. "

Yun Chu leaned in front of the window, flipping through the documents, and said casually: "Your Majesty has taken back the salt, iron, and wine for official sale, and it is obvious that he wants to attack those old nobles and big families.

These days, local Zhechong captains have been taking turns coming to Beijing. The most important thing is that many of these Zhechong captains have been placed in the Sixteenth Guards.

Zhang Donghai, whom we are familiar with, was promoted three levels in a row this time and entered Zuowuwei as Zuo General. His official position was even equal to mine, which speaks volumes.

In the future, the feasibility of nobles still trying to get into a high position based on their background is very low. "

Wen Wen nodded and said: "In three days, I will go to Chang'an County to take office. When I leave, I will take away 60,000 guan of money and 300,000 dan of grain. Is there any problem?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Chang'an County has already been put through a lot of troubles. I heard that you were going to take office in Chang'an County. Everyone was panicked. You need to bring more money and food to Chang'an County to get things done. However, don't go through too much trouble this time." Okay, just kill a few moths and forget about it."

Looking at Di Renjie tenderly, he said: "Zhong Kui's eighteen levels of hell have been built. I am going to take the officials from Chang'an County to Zhongnan Mountain to let them see the eighteen levels of hell, so that they can work with peace of mind in the future. Stop having bad thoughts."

Di Renjie glared at Wen Wen and said, "Just go and go. Why are you staring at me?"

She smiled softly and said, "You will go too when the time comes. In Chang'an County, it may be scarier than the evil ghosts in the eighteenth level of hell."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Going to Zhongnan Mountain to see the Eighteen Hells is a good idea, but you still have to do one more thing. While there is plenty of food this year, you still need to stock up on more food.

All major and minor events in Chang'an and Wannian counties are driven by food. No matter what, the food in your hands cannot be less than 500,000 tons of food. "

Wen Wen nodded and said: "You are right, because the food in Wannian County of Chang'an City no longer relies on water transportation, which has caused the price of food in Luoyang, Southeast and other places to plummet. At this time, we should really absorb more food."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The food in the Tang Dynasty is never enough, it is just an illusion caused by the unblocked distribution channels.

In years without war, collecting too much grain tax is not a good thing for the court.

In Luoyang, Hanjiacang, which covers an area of ​​1,000 acres, has 486 huge grain cellars filled with grain, and more grain is stored in open-air grain stacks. This storage method is of great benefit to The losses in grain storage are very high.

The same is true for the grain depot in Wannian County.

If these grain depots did not do their best to absorb grain, grain prices in Chang'an would skyrocket again.

This may sound contradictory, but in fact it is not contradictory at all. Once there is no profit in transshipping grain, businessmen will naturally wait until grain prices soar before they have the motivation to continue transshipping grain, and finally allow grain prices to stabilize.

In other words, Datang does not lack food now, but what it lacks is a good food distribution system.

We need to collect more food before those people wake up. Chang'an City has a population of one million, and no amount of food is enough to eat. In the future, there will not be many such good opportunities. "

Wen Wen knew very well what Wannian County was doing.

Not only is Wannian County working hard to absorb grain, for this reason, Yunchu also chose to build two more giant granaries that can store 500,000 tons of grain in the East City under the jurisdiction of Wannian County.

He not only built granaries, but also stocked up a considerable amount of salt, cloth, linen, iron ingots, oil, ramie, tung oil...

In the Tang Dynasty, whether a city could be self-sufficient was an important indicator of whether the city was developed.

Chang'an City has too many people to be self-sufficient, so it has to use advanced warehousing methods to extend the time of self-sufficiency.

It was no longer cold in Chang'an City in February. Some of the wild Chang'an disciples had already put on their spring clothes early. After leaving Chang'an City, they rode horses roaring in the countryside. At this time, Asakusa could not even reach the hoof of a horse.

The reason why they came out early was to go hunting in Qujiang. This time of year is the best time to shoot wild geese.

Groups of wild geese will land in Qujiang Pond to rest, look for food, and accumulate strength to continue flying north.

The reason why these people are so actively involved in shooting wild geese is because the Jinchangfang Cafeteria began to acquire this thing.

The Gaoliang disciples don't care about the money they get from selling wild geese. What they care about is the priority of the Jinchangfang cafeteria.

In fact, the purchase sign hanging in the Jinchangfang cafeteria definitely lists more than just wild geese.

Bear paws, tiger whips, leopard sinews, and deer tires are all among them, and they are all sold at high prices. Purchasing brands is not a new thing in Chang'an, and some higher-end restaurants also have them.

However, the brand purchased by Jinchangfang Restaurant is different from the previous brand, and there are some other people's needs on it.

For example, some people need some precious medicinal materials produced in Liaodong or Qinling Mountains, and some people need a venomous snake, and they also need to be alive.

Different from the purchase signs in other places, the information on the sign hanging in Jinchangfang Cafeteria is all real information, and there is a fixed price. As long as the things you bring are indeed what the customers need, The reward is paid by the big cafeteria, so the credibility is extremely high.

Among the needs of the Jinchangfang cafeteria, the most highly priced items were the crops that Yunchu asked Di Renjie to paint using color painting techniques.

In order to create a sensation for these crops that people have never seen before, the price tag behind the crops is - one thousand guan.
