Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 404

"Husband, drink a bowl of soup to warm up your body!" That night, Guang'an personally held a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Feng Daiwen and said gently.

"Thank you, madam!" Feng Daiwen looked at the considerate madam, his heart warmed, he took the soup and put it on the desk, pulled Guang'an to sit on his lap, and thanked him with a smile.

"Husband, drink it while it's hot. You've lost a lot of weight after working hard for the past few months." Guang'an took a peek and saw that there was no one around, so he twisted his body and sat quietly with a smile on his lips.

"lady!"

"Husband!"

"Ma'am, you go first."

"Husband, my concubine and Yaya are both pregnant, and it has been four months. You have been fighting and didn't want to distract you, so I didn't tell you." Guang An leaned on Feng Daiwen's shoulder carefully and said.

"Ah! Madam, sit down quickly. Why do you bring the soup yourself when you are pregnant? Just let the servants do it." Feng Daiwen said in surprise, and hurriedly sat down with Guang'an in his arms, and nervously touched her slightly convex With a raised belly and a happy smile on his face.

"Husband, what did you want to say just now?" Guang An raised his head with a smile, his delicate face was brimming with happiness.

"My husband wants you to go back to Chang'an with the British father. It's cold in winter and hot in summer, and the wind and sand are strong. I really don't want you to suffer here.

Now that you are pregnant, you have to go back to Chang'an to raise your baby. I am really worried here. "Feng Daiwen stroked Guang'an's silky long hair lightly, and said slowly half squatting.

"But we are gone, isn't my husband alone here, and there is no caring person to take care of him, what should we do!" Guang'an said hesitantly.

"Silly girl, my husband has been away for a long time, I have long been used to it, and there are only men in the army, it doesn't matter if no one takes care of me, the most important thing is you, and your child, you are safe and happy, everything you do for your husband is more meaningful " Feng Daiwen held Guang'an's face in both hands, and said affectionately.

"It's really a blessing to be able to marry my husband." Guang'an moved his arms around Feng Daiwen's neck and murmured to himself.

"It's my happiness to be able to marry you. This life is enough!!!" Feng Daiwen stretched his head forward, and the two of them were cheek to cheek, whispering in Guang'an's ear.

…………

Chang'an has been bustling for several months. Reading newspapers every day, or listening to Meng Tong reading newspapers, has become a thing that the people never get tired of. Hearing about that small country that was destroyed today, and that city that was destroyed yesterday.

Scholars will talk loudly in teahouses and restaurants, and also quote scriptures, read Han books, find out the location of small countries and cities, and many people make their own maps for this.

Then discuss the governance policy, how to march, etc. based on the map.

When Li Shimin heard about it, he thought it was a good thing. He not only announced the marching route and battle process of the Tang Dynasty, but also announced the population, area, cities, and army of the small country in detail, leading everyone to participate in the discussion on how to govern the Western Regions.

Li Shimin has been using newspapers for several years, and he has already understood this set by heart. He also published a reward in the newspaper. If anyone has an excellent suggestion, he can write it and post it to the newspaper. In newspapers, rewards will be given depending on its importance.

For a while, the Chang'an Newspaper Office was very busy, receiving dozens to hundreds of suggestions every day, so Yu Shinan had to ask for support, and the Hongwen Library sent more than ten students to help screen them, and then it was over.

And the imperial court did not make a mistake, not only published the name and address of the proposer in the newspaper, but also asked the important officials in the court to give comments, why it was adopted, and where were the shortcomings.

Apart from these, there are also material rewards, at least the rewards of consistent money, and the commemorative coins made by Li Shimin, pure gold, pure silver, printed with the words "Da Tang Xi Yu Dao, Xi Yu Du Fu commemorative coins", on the front The old rules, the avatars of their husband and wife
Only [-] gold coins and [-] silver coins were issued as commemorative coins, and most of them will be used to reward those who have made meritorious service in the Western Regions.

With the development of the matter, the taste gradually changed. Many people simply took the newspaper as a place for discussion. Not only were there policies against the Western Regions, but also Liaoxi, Liaodong, Jiangnan, Lingnan, Nanyang, and Wadao. suggested.

Li Shimin was also unambiguous, and directly arranged for the secretary to supervise, and the group of secretaries took turns to watch, first to test the young secretary's vision and knowledge, and second, to find useful suggestions.

From Chang'an to Guanzhong, they were all discussing, and the discussion became full of tricks. The general, the general made meritorious service again, the child's suggestion was adopted by the court, and the newspaper mentioned a new weapon. It is said that the earth-shattering steel cannon. How powerful.

And the more it spread, the more perverted it became. From the beginning, one cannon shot through the city wall and killed dozens of enemies. Later, it collapsed the city wall with one cannonball and killed hundreds of enemies. There are countless enemies.

This kind of discussion, until the autumn harvest, gradually turned into a discussion about defending the city.

Newspapers will also publish the situation of the city's major defenders and taxes in various places, and will also focus on typical examples, who has intensively cultivated, how much they have harvested, whose daughter-in-law has five children, and the imperial court not only does not collect taxes, but also subsidizes milk powder, frosting sugar, canned fruits, etc. There is no warehouse to store grain at home.

This made many people make up their minds to work hard when they go back at night, and they must work hard not to pay taxes. Now the court only counts on the head, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. Money, cotton thread, cotton clothes, and wool spinning, these workshops have a large number of dignitaries, even if they grow mulberry, silkworm, and tea at home, they can earn a lot of income.

In the past few years, with workshops all over the place, a large number of products are exported, and the income of the people has increased. These raw materials are in short supply, and the poor products can be used by coolies and sold to the Tu people in Nanyang and Pyu.

From the fifth year of Zhenguan to the seventh year of Zhenguan, the weather was good every year, and all the state roads had good harvests. This year, the imperial court has built ten new granaries to store grain and buy surplus grain from the people, so as not to affect the price due to the bumper harvest. Low grain hurts farmers.

Just after the autumn harvest, the common people planted winter wheat and vegetables in greenhouses. After being free, Li Ke returned to Chang'an with a large army.

There are hundreds of carts full of treasures, and there are not enough boxes. Many of them are packed in baskets made of bamboo, and they are piled up on the carriage so brightly, which is an eye-opener for the people along the way.

Li Shimin was in a good mood when he saw that the treasury, which had just gone on an expedition and bought autumn grain, was filled to the brim again.

Moreover, many treasures and jewels are still being counted by the Ministry of Finance under the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is estimated that those very outstanding ones will enter his inner treasury and fill the Treasure Pavilion. This is not only his pleasure, Li Yuan has come to check for three consecutive days. Whether there is a treasure that you like, once you find it, let someone move it into the Longshouyuan Palace immediately.
