After Sun Simiao went to take over King Qin's Mansion, the matter came to an end. Li Shimin had been exhausted for the past two days.
After he threw the information on the indigenous method of smelting steel to the chamberlain and asked him to send the information to the general supervisor, he staggered to the administrative hall.
The whole hall was filled with cute children. Li Shiming smiled until his eyes narrowed. When the concubines saw Li Shiming, they quickly greeted him, Greetings, Your Majesty."
Yes, he nodded and let them stand up. To be honest, he was not familiar with them. He was really not familiar with them.
It had only been two days since they had transmigrated, so he really didn't care much about them. Of course, he would still bear the responsibility that he should bear. The group of cute little kids surrounded him.
"Ah Ye, Ah Ye…We've been very obedient today. Are there any more presents?”
These little girls really liked the gifts they received yesterday. Moreover, it was the first time Li Shimin had given them a gift. This was something that they had never seen before, so they liked this feeling too much, so they asked for a gift again.
"Aha, of course. As long as you're obedient, you'll definitely get a gift.”
"Aye, Aye…is it still like this?”As he spoke, he raised the plush toy in his hand.
"Do you like this kind of gift?"
"I like it."
"Then Aye will get someone to send the gift over.”Then, he asked the chamberlain standing outside the hall to bring over the big plush toy he had bought last night.
Then, Li Shimin took the opportunity to check everyone's pulse.
Throughout history, Li Shimin's daughters had mostly died very young, around 30 years old or even less than 20 years old.
Only a few people lived longer, such as Princess Dongyang. She lived to about seventy or eighty years old.
This was still the royal family. Their living conditions were much better than ordinary people, but their lifespan was still frighteningly low.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the average life expectancy of people was less than 30 years old. The main reason for this situation was their eating habits. In ancient times, they drank raw water. The medical conditions were too poor. When they were sick, they risked their lives. There was also early marriage. In ancient times, they got married at the age of 13 or 14.
Li Shimin's daughters were even more exaggerated. Many of them were twelve years old. Li Shimin had 17 daughters, and many of the mothers had either died of childbirth or died of illness.
Li Shimin was only 27 years old now, wasn't that too exaggerated?
After taking the pulse, except for Chang Le and Cheng Yang, who were slightly worse, the others were in good condition. They sat in front of the table and prescribed prescriptions for those with hidden diseases. Those with weak constitutions were prescribed food supplements.
Li Shimin was a godly doctor now, so these things were easy for him. The current Li Shi Min had one thing in common with the Li Shi Min in history, and that was that he liked to be narcissistic and pretentious.
After he finished writing, he gave Empress Zhangsun some of the information he had written last night about life and medical treatment. He asked her to deal with it. These were the responsibilities of the empress.
After doing all this, he was very surprised to see Li Chengqian still standing at the side. In fact, Li Shimin was very strict with Li Chengqian in history, and Li Chengqian had always been very good. He took care of his younger siblings and was gentle and polite to others. However, after he was crippled, he felt that there was no hope for the throne and his temperament changed greatly.
However, there was a problem with Li Chengqian's limp. It was a conspiracy.
Li Shiming wasn't afraid of those people at all. He had dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with. Anyway, with the system in hand, it wouldn't be a problem to keep an eye on them.
Therefore, he did not plan to do anything to Li Chengqian now. He had plans for the princes in the future, so he was not in a hurry. Thus, he said gently,"Go take care of your younger siblings. Don't be so nervous.”
After lunch, he put his hands behind his back and started to walk around. This was the first time he had relaxed since he came here. His hands were almost swollen from the past two days, so now that he had nothing to do, he started to walk around. When he saw a concubine, he would take her pulse. In the name of giving warmth, he was actually pretending to be cool. Look at me, I'm also a miracle doctor now.
After walking around for a while, his vanity was greatly satisfied. On the way back to Taiji Palace, he met a group of women. With one look, he knew that these women were not palace maids because their clothes were not palace maids 'clothes.
The person leading the group was an old woman with white hair. It was obvious that she was not in good health.
Li Shi Min frowned. What was going on?
Then, he asked his personal attendant to go forward and ask.
It turned out that these people were the families of the criminals and were sent to the Ye Ting Palace to work. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Ye Ting Palace was a place for the palace maids to live and the families of the criminals to work.
When Li Shimin granted amnesty on the eighth day of the eighth month, the original provincial chamberlain was Li Jiancheng's man. He did not let these people go home. As a result, after the original chamberlain was dealt with yesterday, the new chamberlain found out and asked them to return home.
This was equivalent to them being punished for labor for no reason. If the original chamberlain was not dealt with, who knew how long he would be punished.
After all, Li Shiming was a modern man, and this kind of thought of not punishing his family was deeply rooted. Seeing the appearance of this group of women, his heart softened.
Get someone to check if their home is still there?
If they weren't there, they would have to arrange a new place to stay. Each family would be given another 100 strings of Guan and they would be brought to Prince Qin's mansion for Sun Simiao to treat them.
When he returned to the Dew Palace, he saw Ma Zhou waiting there.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei has hired some people, and the orphans in Chang 'an have also been gathered. However, the Children's Welfare Institute at the foot of Yushan has not been built yet, so please tell me how to arrange them.”
"How many people are there in this batch?"
"A total of 683 people, 459 boys and 224 girls. The oldest was eleven years old, and the youngest was two.”
Why are there so many orphans? Li Shi Min was shocked.
There were so many orphans in Chang 'an. After a long silence, he asked,"Why is there such a big difference between men and women?" Have you investigated the reason? Also, have you investigated the identities of these people?”
"I just did a little investigation. After all, there are too few people. The girl was brought to a brothel by someone. Some of the identities had been investigated, some were unclear, and most of them had not been investigated in time because they did not have enough manpower.”
"Alright, then you guys can take your time to investigate the rest. Bring these orphans to King Qin's residence and let them stay there for the time being. At the same time, let Director Sun see if there are any seedlings suitable for medical studies. Also, ask the women who arrived first if they were willing to stay and take care of the orphans if they couldn't find their families. They would definitely be paid. There was also the need to recruit some scholars who could read. They did not need to be very knowledgeable. They just needed to teach the children how to read first. There were too many orphans, so they hired some meticulous female workers to take care of them.”
Well, take it slow.
As he was thinking about taking it slow, the furniture finally arrived. Although it had only been a little over two days, he really couldn't take it.
It turned out that he was wrong. How long did he think it would take to make furniture?
Everything was drawn and explained in detail. Could it take that long?
Now that he looked at it, it turned out that the furniture was covered with a layer of lacquer. No wonder it was so slow.
It was actually Jin Shinnan's. It was…too good.
Now that the table was here, it was time to start his life as a painter.
Li Shimin quickly wrote and drew for a few more days. Although it was only a few days, the mental outlook of the palace had changed greatly. The palace maids and eunuchs were not very good at eating. They had to work a lot and for a long time. It was extremely hard.
Now that the new management system had been implemented, the power of the Internal Affairs Department had been transferred to the Internal Affairs Bureau. The new cooking methods made them no longer as meek and cautious as before. Instead, they displayed the confidence that people of the Great Tang should have. Everyone they met was basically smiling.
The entire palace seemed to come alive. Even the concubines in the harem felt that the palace was much better than before. It no longer felt like a deep palace.
Many new things happened in Chang 'an.
Every morning, a team of four-wheeled carriages with carriages would enter Chang 'an Fortress to collect night incense.
The appearance of the coal stove was used by everyone, including the imperial palace.
A few restaurants had become popular due to the emergence of stir-fried dishes. The next step was to open a few more restaurants in Luoyang and then spread them throughout the Great Tang. This was the property of the Royal Catering Company.
The appearance of soap, soap, and perfume was fought over like crazy because it was said to be used by the nobles in the palace.
These few items belonged to the Royal Household Cleansing Company and the Royal Cosmetics Company.
These were the first royal industry companies established by Li Shiming, and there would be more companies in the future.
After the paper and glass were produced, new companies would be established.
A small amount of cement was produced. This was a test product when using the original kiln to test the production process. However, it had already been used. Now, the palace was gradually repairing the fireplace and brick bed.
What made the people of Chang 'an crazy was salt. Have you ever seen snow-white salt?
Moreover, the price was extremely cheap, only 10 coins. Therefore, the moment it came out, it was crazily snatched by all the people in Chang 'an.
It was decided from the beginning that they would buy it according to their household registration. The limit was half a catty, because half a catty was enough to eat for a period of time.
The Ministry of Works was now recruiting more people to expand production, and Duan Lun was happy all day long.
Seeing the carts of copper coins being moved into the national treasury, even Tang Jian smiled until he could barely see his eyes. The national treasury finally had money.
Now, the Ministry of Works was in charge of production and sales, while the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of finance.
Li Shimin also set up a royal salt company. Unlike other companies that normally paid taxes, the salt company did not pay taxes because Li Shimin did not want to earn this money. Salt was transferred from the Ministry of Works at a fair price. It was bought for 10 coins and then sold in the royal shop for 10 coins. It was equivalent to sending people out of the shop to help the Ministry of Works sell it.
Now, the shops of those aristocratic families were empty, and the salt could not be sold.
It wasn't that there weren't people who came to these shops and wanted to use their power to occupy dry shares. There were even some people who weren't dry shares but wanted to swallow the entire shop.
Some people would ask, wasn't this the property of the royal family? Those people dared to occupy or rob the royal family's property?
It had to be known that the royal family's industries were not eye-catching at all and were not taken seriously by those people, so no one paid attention to them. However, these things had suddenly appeared.
Some of the more mature ones, although jealous, knew that they had to investigate first.
Some people were more interested in money than their lives, and their brains were especially disabled. They could not wait to rush over to snatch it.
Li Shimin was not polite to these people. He arrested them all and ordered the Chang 'an order to arrest all the local ruffians and hooligans in Chang' an and put them through labor.
Clean up the entire Chang 'an Fortress and clean up the trash.
However, during the Tang Dynasty, garbage was more environmental friendly. At most, it was rotten wood, broken tiles, and bricks.
Because of this incident, Chang 'an's public security had improved greatly, and all the upper echelons of society knew that these things were all made by Li Shimin.
Li Shiming would not consider this because he was the boss of the world. There was no such thing as competing with the people for profit. This was the result of the collusion between officials and merchants at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the people in the court now had businesses at home, but they did not personally appear.
Due to the recent income of a large sum of money, many of his plans were successfully implemented.
In Chang 'an City, people could be seen using the new well drilling tools to drill wells in various markets. Moreover, the drilling speed was very fast. After these people finished drilling in Chang' an, they would spread to the entire Guanzhong area.
There were many pure mechanical blueprints in the database. There were simple steel formulas, including basic chemical information, but there were none of the high-end ones. However, this was already quite good.
