Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 154 Anton Governor's Mansion

Li Shimin asked Feng Daiwen to sit down and continued: "I have decided to make an order to implement the reward plan for giving birth to children that you mentioned. This time, it will be implemented throughout the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of whether you have three or more children, you will start to reduce or exempt taxes, and you will have five families. Tax exemption, more than five imperial courts will give rewards."

"It's really great, my father is wise. In this way, the population of the Tang Dynasty will be unimaginable for up to 20 years, and the new generation will be grateful to my father, because you have them and you have They live a stable life, but this can only be done to the common people, as for nobles and aristocratic families, they still have to pay taxes." Feng Daiwen stood up happily and said.

"Haha, this is mainly because the commercial taxation has given me confidence. The taxation in the first half of this year is almost the same as the whole year of last year. In addition to the royal family's own industry, there will be more. When the treasury is full, I will cancel the agricultural tax for the people of the world. "Li Shimin laughed loudly, thinking that he was really happy to be the first emperor who did not collect agricultural taxes.

"Father is far superior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu. He is indeed an emperor through the ages. He must be famous forever. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty does not collect agricultural taxes. No one in this world can shake the Tang Dynasty." Feng Daiwen sincerely hopes that the agricultural tax will not be collected, so that the world The common people relaxed a little, and sincerely admired Li Shimin's mind, and spoke in admiration.

"Khitan, the Wei family is not weak. I am worried that if Goguryeo unites, the west will be unstable, so I want you to go to Hebei Road. First, Hebei has been sparsely populated after years of war and has just experienced drought. It is urgent to restore people's strength. Guarding the border and handling multi-ethnic affairs, I have considered for a long time, and Weiguo is the most suitable for you." Li Shimin explained in detail after thinking about it.

"I understand, and I will live up to my father's high expectations." Feng Daiwen came to understand and replied.

"Well, it's safe for you to go to Zhen, but you are just newly married, take Guang'an with you in a few days, and then ask Chengqian, Ke, Tai to go with you, and everything will follow your arrangement."

"As many people as you want to bring, you can arrange it yourself. If you don't have enough people, you can recruit locally. I allow you to do it cheaply." Seeing Feng Daiwen's agreement, Li Shimin arranged with a smile.

"Is it too dangerous for the prince to go there? There are still two princes, and the ministers here are under a lot of pressure." Feng Daiwen said in embarrassment when he heard that he actually asked to bring Li Chengqian and others over.

"It's okay, the prince and others have made great progress recently, and I can rest assured that I will follow you. In addition, there are 1 people in Cheng Zhijie in Youzhou. If necessary, you can transfer them in the name of the prince. This is an appointment for you." Li Shimin had already said Prepared, took out a volume of imperial decree, and explained his arrangements in detail.

Seeing that Li Shimin had already made arrangements, Feng Daiwen had no choice but to agree.

After talking about the business, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Many tribes came to ask if the wine I drank at the wedding banquet the day before yesterday was available for sale. Tubo also wanted to buy in large quantities, and colored glaze. When will it be mass-produced?"

"Father, wine can't be sold in large quantities right now, because brewing needs too much food, so we can only choose sorghum at present. If Tibetans want it, they can exchange it with yaks and barley. Anyway, barley can also be used to make wine."

"As for glazed mirrors and utensils, rare things are more valuable. You can choose a small amount of high-quality goods and sell them to the surrounding tribes. For small countries, Hu merchants in the Western Regions can sell them in large quantities. The ministers of the court can be rewarded by the father, and they will be sold next year. Precious." Feng Daiwen already understood that Li Shimin would not let go of such good things as liquor, and explained.

"That's true. If there are too many, it's worthless. Sell a little in one place first, and I'll let them take care of it."

"Be nice to Guang'an. This child has no mother since he was a child. Although he grew up with the queen, he is still relatively timid." Li Shimin nodded and warned.

"I understand that I will not let her down, and will make her happy and carefree." Feng Daiwen nodded vigorously.

"Knowing that you value love and righteousness, I am relieved." Li Shimin said with satisfaction.

……

In the afternoon, the two had dinner with Li Shimin and his wife in the palace before returning to the Hou Mansion. Feng Daiwen told Guang'an that he would be released as an official.

Guang'an was stunned for a moment and said: "My husband is a strange man in the world, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor, so he should naturally take on the heavy responsibility."

"Father agreed to let me take you to take office together." Seeing that Guang'an was not in high spirits, Feng Daiwen said.

Guang'an immediately said with a smile: "My husband is willing to accompany me when I go to the concubine's body, so let me clean up and salute the concubine's body."

"Silly girl, don't worry, I don't even know where I'm going as a husband." Feng Daiwen said dotingly to Guang'an, and then took out the imperial decree for the two to watch.

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty called: Feng Daiwen, the general of the town west, was specially appointed as the governor of Anton, and set up the governor's office of Andong in Jizhou. He was in charge of the military affairs of Jizhou, Ying, Ping, and Tanzhou. The deputy governor and all other personnel will be appointed and dismissed by Governor Anton."

After reading the imperial decree, Feng Daiwen was shocked by Li Shimin's trust. It can be said that it is the land of four states.

Even Ma Zhou was a talent discovered by Feng Daiwen, and he has been helping Feng Daiwen with his affairs. As long as he wants, Feng Daiwen can arrange all the official positions in the four states as his own family.

That night, the two lingered for half the night, and Guang'an couldn't bear the whipping, and fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Feng Daiwen get up and go to the study to make plans for the four states.

The next day, Ma Zhou should have received the imperial edict and rushed to the Marquis Mansion. Feng Daiwen, who hadn't slept all night, dragged Ma Zhou to discuss in the study for a long time before making a general decision.

In the end, Feng Daiwen decided to bring Xi Jun to buy, Feng Daihuo, Feng Daijin, Pei Xingjian, Fang Yiai would follow, and asked Yan Shigu for more than ten humble scholars, and the soldiers brought more than 3000 people from Lingnan, the most The most important ones are craftsmen, and all kinds of craftsmen can bring a lot.

The news of Feng Daiwen's promotion soon became known to most of the officials in Chang'an City. Those who didn't know thought it was the emperor who married the princess and the emperor gave him the promotion.

Didn't you see that when Feng Daiwen went to Shuofang as the deputy governor, the Eastern Turks were wiped out. It is estimated that in a year, there will be no Turks in Hetao.

Even when Feng Daiwen went back to Lingnan to buy food, he had Funan, and Chenla almost destroyed the country. This time he was named the governor, and he didn't know how big things would happen.

However, Feng Daiwen was famous for his training of teenagers in Tang Gaocheng, just like the Cheng family, the Yuchi family was originally just a dude from Chang'an, after following Feng Daiwen for a while, now they are all real generals, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Taisan Anyone with a heart can see the changes in people.

Ever since, Li Jing's second son, Li Deju, Du Ruhui's second child Du He, Yuchi's family Wei Chi Baoqing, and Li Ji's eldest 12-year-old Li Zhen were all sent to the Marquis Mansion, saying that they would be Feng Daiwen's school boy for a while.

Feng Daiwen was really speechless, all of them were just over 10 years old, and although they were precocious and looked quite tall, they all had immature faces.

It's just because not only the prince, but also the two princes followed this time, these people didn't know what to think and threw it over.
