Li Chun came to Li Xiuning's door. The matter was not serious, but someone immediately reported to the palace.
Li Po was dealing with government affairs in the Taiji Hall. When he heard the report, he just said it was nonsense and stopped paying attention.
He mainly had more confidence in Li Xiuning and believed that she would treat Li Chun well. Li Chun never took the easy way out, so as long as they treated each other well, they would not have any trouble.
He has so many things on his hands now that he can't take care of such a trivial matter.
During this period, the Umrah meetings were held one after another, and the framework for taxation was taking shape. Officials from the three provinces gradually became involved, and more and more people wrote letters to express their opinions.
In other words, after the war gradually subsided, the focus of the imperial court was shifting from military affairs to government affairs. This was also the most important period after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Peace requires policy support...
Therefore, both politics and military affairs need to be adjusted at this critical moment. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, some good policies will continue, while some obvious bad policies will need to be reformed.
For example, the Okura system of the former Sui Dynasty was one of the important reasons why the wars in the late Sui Dynasty were so huge. In order to compete for the Okura, the princes fought desperately and shed countless blood.
Yang Xuangan attacked Luoyang, Zhai Rang, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, and Yu Wenhuaji fought in a melee in Henan. In the final analysis, they were fighting for the big warehouse in Luokou.
It was the largest granary built by the former Sui Dynasty. More than a thousand years later, hidden granaries were dug underground and grain was stored in them. Do you think it can make people jealous?
But Li Po took the Feihu Road, left Zhuojun, and fought with Luo Yi, all for the grain and grass piled up in the big warehouse of Zhuojun.
Yongfeng Okura in Kansai was occupied by Li Yuan and was completely consumed in the war.
The two large warehouses in Liangzhou and Lingzhou were the basis for the Sui army to control the northwest. Bai Yusuo's rebels, who were like locusts, were able to wreak havoc for a long time because they had access to these grains and grass.
The disadvantages are so obvious, but after everyone discussed it, most courtiers did not think that the Okura system should be completely abolished because it had great advantages.
With enough savings, various places can handle it with ease, whether it is to provide relief to the victims after a disaster or to use troops temporarily. The general meaning is that as long as there is no more emperor like Yang Guang, the Okura system can be completely preserved.
Especially not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, bandits were still being suppressed everywhere, so it was necessary to stock up on food and grass to deal with the situation.
Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the former Sui Dynasty and the actual needs, the changes in the warehousing system are obvious. It is dispersed in various counties and no longer piled up in one place.
This greatly increased the management difficulty and cost of the imperial court, but it also saved the local government a lot of trouble and was more conducive to the establishment of Zhechong Mansion.
It’s actually hard to tell clearly the pros and cons, it just depends on the effect.
The original intention of any policy is actually good. When there are many shortcomings, it also means the decline of a dynasty. Every snowflake that falls at that time seems not innocent.
Generally speaking, North Korea and China have entered a busy season again, and all parts and components are in operation.
As the core of this machine, Li Po was also extremely busy.
Moreover, he was still thinking about other things. The minister, Feng Deyi, asked him to change the reign name again. The reign name Yuanzhen was established when Li Po ascended the throne. There were some disputes about the country title, but the reign title was approved in one piece.
Now that the world has been unified, it is reasonable to change the reign name.
Li Po had something on his mind, so he summoned Feng Deyi, Changsun Shunde, Yu Wenshi and three others to come to him.
Li Po rubbed his temples tiredly, dismissed the eunuchs who wanted to come up to help, and said to a few people: "With the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, changing the reign name is nothing. What I think is...since the first emperor of Qin Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor.
Since then, have you ever calculated how many years there are in existence?"
Several great talents looked at each other, thinking: How can I remember this clearly? What does the Supreme Lord want to do?
Changsun Shunde even gave Feng Deyi a complaining look, "You know how to flatter me. Yuan Zhen has only used it for less than two years. If you want to change anything, you have to wait for it to be stable before making any changes."
It was Feng Deyi who suggested it. He had to speak, and he also had to teach the emperor a lesson, so he tentatively said: "The two dynasties of the former Qin Dynasty died, and there is no era name.
Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, most people were chasing after their fate. Until Emperor Wu was happy with his hunt for white scales, he was called Yuanshou. The emperor's year was just beginning. After that, the emperors' year names changed frequently, and I can't remember them clearly. But they stood up when they were lucky, and when they were in trouble, they were
Change, within one dynasty, the number could be as low as three or four, or as many as five or six...
Even in the late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the world was in chaos, emperors' names appeared frequently, and there were so many era names that I couldn't count them clearly unless I consulted the classics. I am asking you to change the year, but it only means to remove the old and establish the new. The supreme meaning is
…”
Li Po waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't mean to blame you, I just think that the calendar is too confusing... In view of this, it is better to make it easier for both the government and the public to unify the six countries with the First Emperor and ascend the throne as the first year of the emperor.
, the previous era is BC, and the subsequent era is AD.
In this way, it can save a lot of trouble, just like I love you, there is no need to remember those complicated era names, and it can also save a lot of brains for future generations, isn't it wonderful?"
…………
Several people were caught off guard by the emperor's "whimsy", so that's okay? The three of them were very shocked. The previous emperors probably never even thought about it, right?
Yu Wenshi was young, his mind was quick, and he was the easiest to accept new things. He stood up first and saluted: "The supreme courage is not inferior to that of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. Just this one thing will surely make him famous throughout the ages and be remembered by future generations."
Feng Deyi and Changsun Shunde were also stunned. What the hell is changing the era name? I changed all the previous dates. If it is recorded in the history books, the light year name can make a big fuss.
As long as people say A.D., they will probably remember who changed it, and left the name easily. The ingenuity of the thought is really amazing.
Moreover, he started with the First Emperor and did not put himself first. The reasons are sufficient and the measure is commendable.
Feng Deyi sincerely praised: "It is such a great kindness. It seems that everyone who reads history in the future will thank the Supreme Being."
Well, there are so many era names that even people like him can't remember them clearly, and it's enough to make other people dizzy. After several emperors came down, they felt like they didn't know what year and month they were.
Changsun Shunde also nodded repeatedly, thinking that this matter should be done.
Li Po looked at them and felt quite proud. People would thank him later, right? When the time is right, he will get the weights and measures again. After a few years, he will set the longitude and latitude, and the prime meridian will be the same as the damn one.
Chang'an is the starting point...
In fact, when the AD is used as a chronology, it is first of all convenient for the historians, and then for the people. The emperors set the year names for themselves, but the AD is for the convenience of everyone. The advantages and disadvantages can be seen from this.
Change starts with little "little things". The new atmosphere of Datang was not something that the three people here could predict...
