After stealing half a day of leisure, he issued a series of decrees and sent Wei Zheng away.
Li Shimin was playing with his precious daughters. He had built a children's playground in the garden of the government hall in a modern style.
Every day, there would be laughter and laughter, making people feel warm. Now, Li Shiming was playing Eagle Catches Chicks with his sons and daughters.
Of course, the eagle was Li Shimin, the hen was Empress Zhangsun, and the chicks were these cute babies.
A group of concubines sat in the pavilion beside him, laughing and laughing.
The harem was very harmonious now. The concubines felt that it was not bad now. It was much better than before. Empress Zhangsun was fair and just.
Although there was a difference in grade, in terms of material, they were all the same. Moreover, because of the royal industry, the material was much richer than before, and the living conditions had also improved a lot. Although this was the palace in the past, it was much better than before after the renovation.
In the past, all the schemes and infighting had been for personal treatment. Now that the materials were the same and rich, the difference was only the nominal grade.
Li Shiming's attitude towards them was also different from before. He didn't put on a stern face to show the majesty of the emperor like before. His attitude was surprisingly good. He was gentle and soft, and everything could be discussed. He could also listen to opinions and wouldn't punish them for no reason. As long as they were righteous, they wouldn't act rashly.
Therefore, they felt much better than before. There was nothing to make a fuss about.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Li Shimin asked the palace maids to take his daughters and sons away to change their clothes. He and Empress Zhangsun also changed their clothes. Seeing this scene, his craving to act cool was triggered again.
He asked the chamberlain to find a pen and paper. After he was done, he began to draw the concubines. After all, Li Shiming was now a master painter given by the system.
The painting was very lifelike, and everyone looked like they were alive.
The concubines looked at Li Shiming with a strange expression. The impression Li Shiming had given them recently was really subversive.
When Cute Little Baby saw this, she shouted,""Aye, Aye, we also want to draw…"
How could he reject such an opportunity to act cool? So they started drawing again. After a while, the cute children pointed at the painting and said," Look, this is me " and " that's me ". After promising countless benefits, these cute little kids finally let him go.
This caused the group of concubines to snicker. However, this gave them a really good feeling. This was like a real home.
Happy times always passed quickly, but it was not so good for aristocratic families. In the past, before they registered their household registration, weren't those servants at their mercy? Now, he couldn't do it anymore. It was fine to fight, but he didn't dare to kill. Everyone was staring at him. If he dared to treat his servants as humans like before and kill them as he wished, that would be fun.
Therefore, the heads of those aristocratic families had broken countless cups during this period of time.
Li Shi Min didn't know what those aristocratic families were thinking. Even if he did, he wouldn't care. The days were still long.
If they knew that Li Shiming was going to cancel his slave status in the future and that he was not allowed to buy and sell slaves in the future, they would not be able to sit still.
Li Shiming no longer regarded them as his opponents, and they were not qualified to be his opponents.
Of course, Li Shiming had defeated the aristocratic families, so he would no longer support the capitalists, and the status of the merchants would not be deliberately raised.
He would not support any capitalists. It was not that businessmen did not love their country, but that was a rare case. Li Shimin would not raise the status of the entire merchant for the sake of a rare merchant.
Li Shimin was not running a state-owned business, but a royal business. Everything he built was a royal business.
It wasn't that Li Shiming didn't want to develop his business, but it was definitely controllable.
Everything that could support the lifeline of the country must be the royal family's industry. Li Shiming would use his technological advantage to carry out his industrial layout. In the future, he would have some small business for the merchants, but it would definitely be unimportant.
Li Shiming would never raise the status of a businessman.
As long as the royal family invested in basic education, paid attention to the people's livelihood, and controlled the army, there was no need to worry about them rebelling in the future.
With the further expansion of the royal family's business, Li Shiming would increase the opening of primary schools in the Tang Empire, and establish the Royal University, Royal Medical College, and Royal Military College.
Not only were the aristocratic families having a hard time, but the monks were also having a hard time.
In the Great Mercy Temple, there were some old monks sitting around. One of them said,""Xuanzang, have you decided?"
" Yes, it's decided." Tang Sanzang was preparing to go west. However, if Tang Sanzang wanted to travel to the west, he had to find the government to get the customs clearance documents. Otherwise, he could only sneak out. In history, Tang Sanzang did not get the customs clearance documents to sneak out.
Li Shi Min didn't intend to make things difficult for him and would give him the customs clearance documents.
Li Shimin didn't like the temples of the Tang Dynasty. They didn't engage in production, wantonly annexed land, gave money, and didn't pay taxes. They were a serious waste of social resources. There were as many temples as ants. Every inch of land in Chang 'an City was expensive. There were more than 100 temples, and the largest temple occupied a market alone.
Damn it, Li Shimin had built his own school outside Chang 'an City. At most, he would use half of the market to build the Royal Medical College. He dared to use a market for a temple, not to mention outside the city, there were even more.
Therefore, once the newspaper was published, Li Shimin started to attack the temples. Not only did he have to register their household registration, but he also had to make them pay taxes for the land. He also had to adopt the historical system of giving them a lot of money in a year. Then, he would slowly clear out some of the temples. The main reason was that there were too many temples, which was not a good thing.
Monks had to take the exam. It wasn't that you could be a monk just because you said so. You had to know the scriptures, right? If you don't know the scriptures, then what kind of monk are you? The Flowery Monk? They would renounce asceticism every year if they did not pass the exam. In fact, many monks in the early Tang Dynasty had become monks to escape the war. Now that society was stable, these people were still willing to renounce asceticism.
There were even some bandits who became monks. Li Shimin did not have to be polite to these people. He mobilized his troops to flatten the temple and then distribute the land to the surrounding people who had no land.
On this day, Xuanzang came to the palace and asked the Tang Emperor to give him a document to clear the customs so that he could prepare for the journey to the West. Li Shimin did not say anything and gave it to him directly.
Go, go, you will be a legend along the way. Make your due contribution to the cultural exchange of mankind.
Xuanzang had left, but the tragedy of the temple had not dissipated. Li Shimin had put in a lot of effort into the land under the name of the temple. The first confiscated land was distributed to the people who had no land, and the rest was directly provided with means of production for them to open up wasteland. 20 mu of permanent farmland was directly used, and 80 mu of land was divided into acres. It was up to you to open up. Anyway, there were many wasteland outside Chang 'an City, and it was tax-free for three years.
As a result, the land of the temple was left uncultivated. This land had to be paid taxes every year. In addition, the monks had to renounce asceticism. The remaining monks could only live together with the monks of several temples.
So Li Shimin demolished the empty temple and gave the land under his name to the people again. The monks wanted to cry but had no tears. They were filled with sadness.
Li Shiming had made arrangements for the matters before the new year. He had to wait for the results. There were some things that he couldn't do before the time came, so he could only wait. For example, the textile machine had been made, and more than 20 carts of cotton flowers in the palace had been trial-produced. The cotton cloth produced was directly distributed to the harem. Because there weren't many, he could only do so and didn't sell it in the royal shop.
The cotton flowers couldn't be planted now. It wasn't the right time.
Li Shiming didn't want to start weaving the wool now, so he planned to take it out after the Eastern Turks were killed and the herdsmen settled down.
Since he was idle, he couldn't beat the child. It would hurt to beat the child, but he couldn't tear down the house. Yes, he could tear down the house.
Li Shimin had nothing to do, so he suddenly thought of demolishing the house and building a new one.
Chang 'an City was built during the Sui Dynasty, but the most terrifying thing about it was the entire city. The Sui Dynasty only spent a year to build it.
Why did it only take a year? First, it was demolition and construction. The raw materials used to build the city were all demolished from other places. But even so, it was still very terrifying.
It had only been a short time since they had been here, but many of the buildings in the palace had fallen into disrepair. Even the imperial temple was on the verge of collapse. It was said that it had been demolished from a certain ancestral temple of the Qin Dynasty. If even the imperial palace was like this, let alone other places.
Therefore, under Li Shimin's sudden inspiration, the royal family set up a royal construction company, specializing in demolition and construction. Li Shimin planned to make a model market. It was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang 'an City was not very populated. It was not fully occupied, and there were many empty spaces.
Li Shimin planned to rebuild a market and gather the people of several markets into this new market. This way, the market could be rebuilt.
Li Shimin still planned to build the new house according to the current style. He always thought that Chang 'an City was the most perfect. No matter the layout or style, Li Shimin was tired of seeing modern high-rise buildings. Moreover, those Siheyuan were expensive, ancient and charming.
Therefore, Li Shimin planned to rebuild the house according to the original layout and style. He would build the main house with three stories, and the other houses would be built with two stories. The main frame would be cast with reinforced concrete, and the rest would be built with traditional building materials such as wood, green bricks, and green tiles. The only difference was that the cement was used to bond the bricks.
I'll build a brick bed for you on the first floor.
Li Shimin didn't come here to make money, so he didn't plan to make money from the reconstruction. The compensation for the people was the original land area. How big was the original land? When you moved to a new house, the land would be as big as the original house. The house would change from the original single-story house to two or three stories. The yard would still be a vegetable farm. If you raised chickens, you could continue to raise chickens. Anyway, everything else remained the same.
The common people's houses in Chang 'an City had a fixed area and were very neat. There were only a few specifications. The smallest land area was the standard size of one mu of land. Other than the houses, the other places in the yard were used to grow vegetables and raise chickens. Otherwise, how could the common people eat vegetables when Chang' an City was so big? They were all grown by themselves.
There were also a few fruit trees planted in the courtyard, and there were also fruit trees planted on both sides of the streets in the city square. There were peach trees, pear trees, pomegranate trees, and so on. They were all practical. Plant azalea flowers between the trees. In short, plant flowers and plants in the open space.
The ditches on the side of the street were covered with stone slabs. There were stone benches and stone tables some distance away, and there was also a leisure pavilion in the market.
Because they chose Yong 'an Square this time, Yong' an Canal passed through Yong 'an Square. The canal was protected by bluestone slabs. The road leading down to the canal was paved with bluestone slabs and made into stone platforms for washing clothes.
When he established the Royal Construction Company, he bought all the empty houses in Chang 'an from the Ministry of Revenue.
At this time, the country's property was the emperor's private property, but the royal construction company still paid the Ministry of Revenue.
This was Li Shimin's preparation for rebuilding Chang 'an.
When the people from the Royal Construction Company arrived at Yong 'an Square, they told the people in the square that the emperor was going to rebuild Yong' an Square. He told them that it would be relocated on the spot and showed them the renderings of the rebuilt market. He told them how it would be rebuilt and that they did not need to pay. During the reconstruction, the Royal Construction Company would help them arrange their accommodation and did not need to spend money.
The citizens of Yong 'an Lane were in an uproar. They could not believe it.
The Emperor of the Great Tang had helped them rebuild their new homes, and they didn't even need to fork out the money. Everyone knelt before the Emperor to thank him.
There was no need for mobilization. Almost everyone immediately tidied up their homes and prepared to move. They made room for the reconstruction and expressed that everyone would help when it came to reconstruction.
Everyone was looking forward to the day their new home was built.
