Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Sixty-Six Qujiang Pool
When driving through the street and almost reaching Qujiang Lake, the pedestrians on the road have begun to be crowded. At this time, the population of Chang’an City has reached 700,000 to 800,000 people. Qujiang Lake is the most famous amusement place. It is crowded.
Bai Chun thought about all the way on the carriage, and kept the habit he learned from Li Hong. He took out a bound notebook, and wrote and painted on it with charcoal pen. In Li Hong’s eyes The image of a savvy and capable beauty assistant.
Bai Chun raised his head and closed the notebook, frowning and said: "Will the household department agree to the taxation of foreign merchants? And you also need to give the household department an account for this part of the money?"
"Have your mind been flooded during this time? I am the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Who else should I ask for consent? I approve the note and you can just do it." Li Hong said grandiosely, this feeling of real power in hand It's just different. Although he already has a lot of conveniences and rights as a prince, it's not as good as this after all, holding real rights in his hands is refreshing.
Li Hong also knows that the reason why Datang is remembered and looked up to by posterity is one: his military strength. The second is: his cultural strength. Three: Naturally, his economic strength. But none of these have the confidence of the Tang Dynasty, which makes future generations look up.
As the existence of Tang Dynasty without even a one-meter Great Wall built in the past dynasties, it is enough to imagine his military strength and confidence, and strategic contempt for other countries.
This kind of self-confidence makes every emperor on Li Tangjiang mountain disdain to use this method of building the Great Wall to stabilize his country in a defensive posture.
Moreover, people in this era have self-confidence from their hearts, far from the unconfident universal values of the previous life, especially the inferiority inferiority that still remains a group of foreigners respected by slaves.
The tolerance of the Tang people to foreigners is not only reflected in the folks, but whether the people, the court or the royal family, the appointment of foreigners is enough to show how hard the Tang people were at that time.
In terms of economy, Datang will have no place to store the money in the next few decades, which indirectly caused the economy to be unable to continue to develop and break through the inherent patterns and bottlenecks.
Now Li Hong stores a lot of money. First, to develop a new economy, he must be supported by a lot of money. The second is a large amount of money, which is also the basis for the future reform of the military system into a recruiting system. Coupled with the emergence of new things and the people's demand for new materials, the circulation of money in society will also become faster and larger, so as to avoid letting the Datang, who does not spend money, survive.
I didn't bother to care that Bai Chun made a face at him, and the carriage slowed down on the crowded road in Qujiangchi.
Li Hong thought for a while and said again: "The levy of foreign business tax is only the beginning, and it will slowly expand among Datang businessmen. One day, I hope to realize a beautiful ideal..."
Bai Chun’s amorous eyes stayed on his face, waiting for him to say, but Li Hong bought a pass: “Get off first. Fortunately, our carriage can come in through the royal passage, otherwise it’s in Qujiang. At the gate of the pool, we have to wait for a long time."
"What is this beautiful ideal?" Bai Lu got out of the car first, and then stood by to serve Li Hong to get out of the car, and asked next to her.
"Yes, the prince, what else are we afraid of besides natural disasters in Datang? Can there be a better scene than it is now?" Xia Zhi is also confused, and the weather is not good now. Ah, the prince also wanted to see how Datang could look through the scene.
Pioneering and innovation is the most difficult. No matter what era they were born in, people face the future by measuring their satisfaction with the present. In this era, the small-minded mentality of being wealthy and peaceful does not only exist among the people, it is also common in courts and palaces.
It's like being full of warmth and lust, the struggle in the walls of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that because there is no external pressure, the idlers in the palace begin to toss themselves, otherwise, how can there be so many palace battles in the Tang Dynasty? ?
Any piece of palace history can be drawn from the three-hundred-year period, and you can write a wonderful palace battle TV series.
"The first beautiful ideal: farming is tax-free." Li Hong turned his head and smiled mysteriously to Baichun, and said three words faintly.
"There is no tax for farmers?" Bai Chun frowned. She obviously couldn't understand the meaning of these three words at once, and for people of this era, this is an ideal that can be reduced to a ghost story.
The four of the summer solstice circled Li Hong and Bai Chun in the middle, and cautiously walked out of the imperial forbidden garden. The four of Huameng expanded the scope and protected the six concealedly, and tried not to let other pedestrians approach this invisible circle.
At the beginning of summer, the breeze blowing on the lake still has a trace of coolness, and there is an indescribable comfort and laziness on the body.
There are layers of ripples on the lake, and the fish in the water are not afraid of people. The lake water in front of the tourists who feed is crowded with fish for food, and they jumped out of the water to grab the delicious food the first time.
"Where will they have a party?" Li Hong stretched his neck long, but among the adults, all he could see was the back of his head.
"They come here naturally to watch the water. If they use water to compose a poem, they should be in the Linshui Pavilion or the Water Palace. The Linshui Pavilion is more likely. After all, there is the best place to see the whole view of Qujiang Pool. That's it." Bai Lu and Li Hong were close together, analyzing for him.
"Go by boat or on foot?" Li Hong glanced at the skateboard held in his hand by the mang species. He didn't need it for a while, and they would definitely not let themselves skate through the crowd.
"Walk over, and you can enjoy the scenery while walking." Bai Chun's hair was blown up by the breeze, and the cotton shirt and skirt were rippling with the wind, and her exquisite figure was unobstructed.
"Are you afraid of water?" Li Hong asked with a smirk looking at Bai Chun.
"I'm not afraid of water." He said so, and he couldn't help but leaned in, sandwiching Li Hong with Bai Lu on his left and right.
As Bai Lu guessed, a group of students dressed like people crowded the Linshui Pavilion. Linshui Pavilion was said to be a pavilion rather than a small island. There are not too many man-made buildings in Linshui Pavilion, except for a few pavilions scattered around for shading, there are winding paths and towering trees.
A trail filled by hand-moved soil is the only way to the Linshui Pavilion. It looks like it was filled out later. I’m afraid it was just for this island. The island is named: Linshui Pavilion.
"Why are Wang Bo and Yang Jiong in there?" Xiaohan's eyes were sharp, and he found the two people at a glance.
"Shangguanyi gave them a holiday?" Li Hong asked strangely.
I saw Yang Jiong and Wang Bo sitting with the students from the Imperial College and Hongwenguan, talking happily, and there were bursts of cheerful laughter from time to time.
In another place, although there are fewer people, it is full of food and drinks. Men and women are listed among them. From time to time, you can hear a burst of laughter from men and coquettish voices of women who want to talk and are ashamed. .
"Master, He Lanmin is here." Bai Chun reminded in a low voice. As long as they appear in the public, regardless of whether they are Bai Chun or other people, they will always call Li Hong "Master". This has become a reflex of them, and they do not need to deliberately think about it.
Looking at the suave and handsome He Lan Minzhi, right now in front of a woman, he vigorously pointed at Qu Jiangchi, apparently introducing something, from time to time the woman’s beautiful eyes are often sent off, or so Pa covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"I see, every time I see him, he seems to be a little handsome, how long do you think? Is this the blood of the Helan family, or the blood of the mother and the family?" Li Hong Shaking his head and sighing, I am ashamed of myself.
"How about being handsome? It seems to be a favor to beauties, but in reality it is vicious." Bai Chun followed Li Hong's eyes and looked at He Lan Minzhi and said.
"But that’s what makes women happy, reciting poems, composing fu, reading the Five Classics, and learning ancient books. It is estimated that now in front of that woman, she has cleaned up Qu Jiangchi’s previous life and this world, and she seems to be knowledgeable. It really works~IndoMTL.com~ By the way, do you think I should follow the official ritual to learn a little? If it is important, I think that the official ritual is not good. Who else from the Kongyan family is in the Imperial College or the Hongwenguan, get two to Chongwenguan , I also listen to it every day." Li Hong and his party slowly walked up to Wang Bo and Yang Jiong.
"Forget it, you have to worry about the affairs of the East Palace. How can you be more knowledgeable and talented than the master of the elementary school." Xia Zhi walked in front of Li Hong, listening to their conversation , Immediately flattered to keep up, lest the Prince He Lan Minzhi's contrast would make the prince sad.
"The summer solstice is still good at talking, and the most important thing is to tell the truth! Summer solstice, this is what I like most about you. You are not afraid of power, upright, and beautiful, elegant, gentle, and knowledgeable. Just like Luoyang Like peony flowers, it gives people holiness and comforts the heart with light..."
"Lord, didn't you like me last time?" Bai Lu pretty face flushed, and he praised the prince last time, the prince also praised her like that.
"Uh...you two are the same as you two." Li Hong rubbed his nose and said, Bai Lu is not good at this point, always telling the truth, especially when it comes to timing.
"Puff Puff" Bai Chun laughed first, his charming and enchanting appearance immediately attracted He Lan Minzhi, who had already noticed the group of them, and forgot about the beauties around him, and looked straight. Bai Chun looked like a wooden chicken, it seemed that there was only one soul left.
Yang Jiong and Wang Bo looked at a group of people getting closer and closer to these students, and they looked at each other with a strange expression.
But I stood up, first walked to the front Hua Meng and Mangzhong, bowed deeply: "Students Yang Jiong and Wang Bo have met several gentlemen."
Hua Meng and Mangzhong motioned for them to get up, and then stood aside apart, Li Hong and the five girls walked towards them slowly with a smile.
