The Western Turkic envoy returned with satisfaction, and Li Shiming had also made a huge deal. He had exchanged his obsolete weapons and equipment for ten thousand taels of gold and five thousand horses. He was also very satisfied.
The princesses in the palace were also very satisfied. These princesses were not Li Shi Min's daughters. How old was Li Shi Min's daughter now? They were Li Yuan's daughters, Li Shimin's half-sisters.
These princesses were also very worried at first. Although they had heard last year that the Great Tang would not be marrying in the future, no one knew if it was true or false. Who would be willing to marry? The living conditions of those foreigners were too poor. How could the princesses who stayed in the palace endure it?
They were also worried that if the marriage was to happen, it would be their turn. Their marriage was not up to them to decide. If the Emperor issued an edict, they could only follow it.
However, Li Shiming would not take the initiative to decide on their marriage. After all, Li Shiming had transmigrated.
Now, these princesses felt that this emperor brother was not bad. Li Shiming had nothing to say to them. He would not give them anything that they should have, nor would he restrict their freedom. They could leave the palace as they pleased, as long as they brought their followers and paid attention to their safety.
This time, Li Shiming thought of Princess Wencheng, Li Daozong's daughter. She was only two years old, so Li Shiming had decreed that Li Daozong's two-year-old daughter would be named Princess Wencheng. However, no matter what happened, it was still a good thing. Therefore, Li Daozong's wife brought her daughter to the Political Hall to thank him the next day.
In fact, Li Shiming just thought it was fun. There was nothing special about it. It was very simple. He thought it was Princess Wencheng in history, so he gave it to her.
The entire Great Tang was busy with spring plowing, and Li Shimin was also busy with farming. He checked the information through the system and found that he was very sad. Why did he feel like a tinker, constantly repairing here and there? F * ck, why wasn't there a rebellion or a natural disaster in the early Tang? Don't you have a peaceful day?
At the beginning of February of the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict: Du Fuwei and Kan Ling were framed in the rebellion of Fugong and were put down by the two. Instead, he restored his reputation and buried Du Fuwei with the etiquette of the Duke of the State.
He secretly ordered Ma Zhou to lead the Brocade Guard to secretly capture Wang Junkuo and bring him back to the Supreme Court for trial. At the same time, he ordered the Brocade Guard to investigate the evidence of Li Xiaochang and his henchmen's crimes in detail. After the evidence was complete, they sent the Black Armor Guards to assist in the arrest.
The Royal Salt Company went to Shandong to buy coastal tidal flat to build salt pans, use the sun to obtain sea salt, set up the Royal Fishing Company, and the Royal Canned Food Company. These royal industrial companies would recruit local workers and fishermen.
He issued a decree that no land could be reclaimed within two miles of the Yellow River, trees must be planted on both sides of the river canal, no land could be reclaimed on the tidal flat of the river and lake, and all hillside land could be returned to forests.
It was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty when the population was sparse. There was a large area of wasteland, so there was no need to plant in some places. Therefore, it was very easy to deal with it at this time. The current Yellow River was not the future Yellow River.
There were not many people who needed to be compensated, so it would not cost much.
The drilling team stopped drilling in Henan and immediately rushed to Shandong to reduce the drought in the summer.
He would establish the royal textile company, purchase large amounts of wasteland in Shandong, hire workers to plant cotton, and build textile factories in the newly recovered three places and Chang 'an area. The newly recovered three places would be used to spin wool in the future, and the factories in Chang' an area would mainly produce cotton cloth in the future.
Soon after, canned fish appeared in Chang 'an. It was delicious and not expensive. Any rich family could afford it. Canned fish became a must-have gift in Chang' an.
New soups had also appeared in the Royal Restaurant, such as seaweed rib soup and seaweed egg soup. Moreover, the shops that sold dishes were also selling these dried goods.
Sun Simiao's article was also published in the newspaper. After his research, he found that eating seaweed could prevent big neck disease. As a result, the supply of seaweed, which was originally used by the people in coastal areas to feed pigs, became in short supply.
Li Xiaogong's navy had also set off to Lin Yi to buy food. They brought glassware with them. Other than buying a large amount of food, he was not afraid of having too much food in ancient times. In addition, he could exchange the excess for gold, silver, copper, and other precious metals. If it was not enough, he could also exchange it for jewelry.
Although the navy had set off, the ships were still being built, and the sailors were being recruited and trained. Li Shimin had them use stone steles as the ballasts of the ships, and all the islands they passed along the way had stone steles erected to indicate that they were part of the Great Tang.
Moreover, the first batch of grain that was transported back was directly placed in Shandong to prevent the drought in Shandong this year. Although the well drilling team went to Shandong, it was better to be prepared. Then, they went to Linyi to transport grain.
The army had two more guards who had finished equipping themselves with the new equipment. Li Shiming had these two guards and the guard he had transferred back from Chai Shao, making a total of three guards. He immediately sent them to Ying Province, Hui Province, and Tan Province, each of them corresponding to three different forces.
Ying Prefecture faced Goguryeo to the east, Hui Prefecture faced Tuyuhun to the west, and Tan Prefecture faced the Turks to the north.
Li Shiming had already finished equipping six of the Great Tang's sixteen regular guards. These six guards were currently the strongest fighting force of the Great Tang, and they had all been deployed to the border regions. Four of them were to face the Turks.
This way, they had a hundred and sixty thousand men to fight the Turks. They were enough to wait for the army to arrive.
At that time, the Great Tang would attack both the Turks and Tuyuhun, annihilating the Eastern Turks and taking back Tuyuhun's homeland.
At that time, the border would expand outwards, and the farming activities within the territory would not be affected.
The Royal Primary School, the Royal Military Academy, and the second phase of the city square's reconstruction were also completed before the summer harvest. After that, all the construction workers would enter Chang 'an City to carry out the next batch of city square reconstruction.
After the completion of the Royal Military Academy, a grand opening ceremony was held. General Li Jing spoke on behalf of the teachers, telling them to work hard and teach hard under the leadership of the Emperor.
The cadets were naturally the middle and low-level officers of the ten guards. They had sent representatives to express their loyalty to the Great Tang and the Emperor. They would study hard and devote their strength to the Great Tang's national defense.
All the generals in the capital, including the honorary marshal Qu Tutong, attended the opening ceremony.
The Emperor of the Tang Empire made a concluding speech, pointing out that with the continuous investment of the Tang Empire's scientific research force and the emergence of new equipment, new tactics would inevitably appear. The students should work hard to learn and adapt to the new forms of war. He also pointed out that in the current international environment around the Tang Empire, the army was an important armed force to ensure national security, protect the lives and property of the people, and maintain territorial integrity, and the students present were the cornerstone of the army. He hoped that the students would not disappoint the Emperor and the people.
The opening ceremony of the Royal Military Academy ended with a grand applause.
