Li Jing and Li Yaoshi have undoubtedly reached a highlight moment.
When he killed Liu Hongji and Chai Shao in Shu, he showed no mercy at all. When he arrived in Jiangling, he continued his style of killing chiefs to avoid future troubles, and persuaded everyone to kill Xiao Xian.
The death of an emperor might be able to heal the grievances he had accumulated over the years, right? Who knows, anyway, this man took advantage of the battle to destroy Liang to establish his position in the Tang army.
Soon after, Li Po ordered Li Jing to be the governor-general, commanding the Tang army in Pingliang and pacifying the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. He also ordered Zhang Lun to lead an army of 80,000 people to return to Caiyang and attack Ma.
……………………
It was late September when the news of the victory over Jiangling arrived in Chang'an, and the northern region had entered early winter.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Po carefully read the victory reports sent by the generals, imagining the scene in Jiangling City, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
He and Li Yuan had been entangled for many years, and finally removed the roadblock, and then... everything went smoothly. It was a bit regretful that he could no longer go out to lead the troops.
He now understands clearly that nothing is perfect in the world, and he cannot occupy what is in the pot while looking at what is in the basin.
The weather was cold, but the hall was as warm as spring. According to the stove he asked He Chou to design in Jinyang, several chimneys were erected to replace charcoal basins and the like.
In fact, heating was not a problem for the nobles at this time. Everyone would build some fire walls in the thermal pavilion. The Tai Chi Hall also had such a design, but it was very costly, not as light and flexible as the stove, and it was also very economical.
Of course, the most important thing is that the stove is easy to make. Ordinary people may not be able to afford this iron thing, but nobles have no problem at all.
Li Po was going to wait for the world to calm down before he could use some "fantastic ideas". He had been focusing on how to fill his stomach and fighting people to death over the past few years, and he didn't care about these at all...
……………………
Good news came frequently, and the whole court was jubilant. The number of people in Chang'an Market was obviously much greater than last year. It was very similar to Jiangling before. The military victory stabilized the people's hearts, and it seemed that everyone was full of hope for life.
But in fact, the war has not stopped yet, and the war outside is still going on.
After Li Po read the last good news, he stood up and stretched. The troublesome Wei Zheng immediately stepped forward to persuade the king to pay attention to his image. After being reprimanded by Li Po, this man became more and more daring to speak.
Li Po wanted to kick him and shut him up, but he was in a good mood and didn't argue with this guy. He just waved his hand like a fly to indicate that he heard.
Then he knocked on the victory report on the table and said: "Put it in order and announce it in the hall when you go to court."
I walked back and forth in the palace twice, thinking about Feng Deyi's previous report that after the completion of Chang'an Academy, all the books in the palace were transferred there.
There is no problem with the number of students in the academy, but what makes him a little disappointed is that, as expected, various schools have no intention of letting their students enroll. Instead, the quota for Imperial College students this year is full, and many people are asking the emperor to add more.
Quota.
If the academy becomes an academy for common people... Although that is one of the purposes of establishing the academy, the time has not come yet. Without the support of the nobles, the academy will not be able to survive, and the emperor's face will fall.
Fortunately, this is Chang'an, where there are all kinds of people, and there are also many people who want to flatter the emperor.
So on the list of students admitted to Chang'an Academy, there are people named Dou, people named Li, people named Xiao, people named Yuan... It's just that Feng Deyi was right again, the disciples from the rich family are just here to fill the scene.
There are none of those heroes who are famous.
However, another effect appeared. Due to the large number of books in Chang'an Academy, it attracted many "famous people" to come. Some people even went so far as to hold literary gatherings there. It is said that the scene was very lively.
After everyone went there, they were all amazed by the large number of books in Chang'an Academy, and they were also full of praise for the architecture and scenery of the academy. Otherwise, there would not be so many people attending the cultural fair.
There is no doubt that Chang'an Academy is famous, but... it was built for people to study, not a brothel for people to relax and have fun.
Then there are many people who want to work in academies, just because they want to get the upper hand first, and they can go to the academy's library to read all day long, and they also get a salary. It is really a good place for bookworms.
Just like Xue Yuanjing, a daily assistant who worked next to Li Po, he secretly approached Feng Deyi several times and said he wanted to get a position in the academy.
Li Po imagined that the academy was full of people from the literary world, but the people below were studying hard but were all unknowns, and he suddenly felt a bit funny.
The beginning of Chang'an Academy was a little nondescript, top-heavy... It could easily lead to ridicule. Of course, not many people dare to laugh at the emperor now.
A century-old plan, an educational text, Li Po could only comfort himself in this way. This was not a temporary achievement. It was normal to wait two or three years. If he came up with the results, it would take ten years. There was no rush.
In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in a bad situation this year. The case of Gao Shen has not yet been concluded, which has caused a bit of panic in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Many people have committed crimes and been dismissed from their posts. It will take some time for the new people to adapt, which immediately disrupts the rhythm of the Household Office.
In addition, there have been many wars this year, and the requirements for logistics and equipment are very high. Everyone in the Ministry of Revenue has put aside almost all other things, and can only barely maintain the army's food and grass supply.
Fortunately, the Nanyang victory came in time, and a large amount of grain, grass and baggage were captured in Nanyang, which greatly eased the logistical pressure on the army. Otherwise, only God knows whether the Ministry of Revenue could withstand the test.
Other matters such as rearranging household registration, land and land, etc., are close to a state of stagnation. After the defeat of the Liang Kingdom, the operations in Guanxi have to be repeated over there. It is conceivable that the hard days of the Ministry of Household Affairs are still to come.
Woolen cloth.
So recently, the Ministry of Finance is allocating officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Ministry of Rites to help the Ministry of Household Affairs. Of course, this is only temporary.
The reason why the Ministry of Revenue is in such chaos is because of Gao Shen's case. It does not mean that the manpower of the Ministry of Revenue is really so short. As the emperor, the greatest support that can be given to the Ministry of Revenue is to stop supervising them and tighten their control.
Gao Shen's case was controlled within a certain range.
Moreover, it is winter. This year, the awards for former military officers have been put on the agenda. The documents for declaring meritorious service in the Ministry of War are constantly being revised. Because good news from the front comes frequently, there are many outstanding meritorious service members, and their achievements have been accumulated. I am afraid that I will not be rewarded until the end of winter.
At the right time, the record of merit can be determined.
This workload is not small, especially the achievement of wiping out the princes is among the founding achievements of the country. Who should go first and who should be carefully considered...
