When Li Liangzuo woke up again the next day, the sun had already sunburned his buttocks, which was the most comfortable night Li Liangzuo slept on in three years; The moment Li Liangzuo opened his eyes, he rubbed it up, looking at the clear sky outside, Li Liangzuo thought to himself that this was over, and the time of the early dynasty had long passed.
Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon couch and shouted loudly: "Little Fuzi, hurry up and roll over" "Your Majesty, you are awake."
Su Qiao'er walked up to Li Liangzuo and said.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said to Su Qiao'er: "Concubine Ai, I have overslept, hurry up and change my clothes, it is inevitable to talk about the old guys of Uncle Huang." ” Su Qiao'er said while dressing Li Liangzuo: "The concubine has already asked Xiaofuzi to tell you that the early dynasty has been postponed, and Your Majesty doesn't need to be in such a hurry." ” Li Liangzuo smiled bitterly: "This is the first early dynasty in three years, and it is naturally not good for me to finish; Also, you tell the queen and Concubine Liang that I still remember what happened last night, and I will clean you up after I come back in the morning. ” Li Liangzuo put on a dragon robe and hurried to the council hall, and at the same time sent someone to announce that the ministers entered the palace to discuss the matter, in fact, it was better to listen to the reports of various departments than to listen to them; In the past three years, although Li Liangzuo has some understanding of cabinet affairs through his concerts, he has never learned more about listening to the report in person.
Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair, and the ministers below stood up in turn to report; In the past three years, it can be said that the population of Xixia has reached more than 2.7 million, the annual tax revenue has reached 40 million, and the people have lived a prosperous life and began to prosper and develop in various places.
"Your Majesty, in accordance with Your Majesty's will, a large area of peach has been planted in the Hetao area, and the planting area has reached 30,000 hectares, and the planting is still expanding; This year, the first batch of peach wine will be made.
Wei Ge Ningling reported to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "Uncle Huang, this peach is a cash crop after all, and the Hetao area still needs to be mainly planted with grain, after all, my Great Xia country is in short supply of grain; After the planting area of Putao reached 100,000 hectares, it stopped expanding, and the next step was to focus on the Hetao area, repair the ditches since the Han and Tang dynasties, and carry out large-scale migration to the Hetao, so as to make the Hetao a rich area like Ningxia and become the granary of our Western Xia. ” "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming" The ministers praised Li Liangzuo.
Zhou Wentai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do. ” Li Liangzuo looked down at the ministers and said, "If Zhou Aiqing has anything, just say it." ” Zhou Wentai immediately said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, since the peace with the Great Song Dynasty, although the tax revenue has increased, it is not ideal, and the merchants who go to the Western Regions from the Central Plains are still unwilling to pass through the territory of our Great Xia Kingdom. ” Li Liangzuo frowned and asked, "Why is this because your business tax is set too high?"
” "No, due to the bitter relations between the Great Song Dynasty for many years, the merchants who went to the Western Regions from the Central Plains mostly passed through the Hehuang region and took the route to the south; Although we are now making peace with the Great Song Dynasty, these merchants are still reluctant to go north, and they do not yet have complete trust in us.
Zhou Wentai said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo pondered for a moment and said: "Zhou Aiqing, in my name, a document is promulgated, all merchants passing through our country, the army of Western Xia will provide protection along the way, and the losses in Western Xia will be borne by the imperial court. ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."
Zhou Wentai answered.
"Gao Aiqing, how is the situation in the academy?"
asked Li Liangzuo to Gao Zhiyao.
Gao Zhiyao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now the number of students who have completed their studies from Guozijian, Taixue and Royal Academy has reached more than 1,000 every year, and the number of students in the schools in various prefectures and counties has reached 50,000, and this number continues to rise. ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "How are these students who have completed their studies arranged?"
"Most of the students chose to enter the court as officials, and some chose to engage in business, or go to various places to serve as teachers."
Zhou Wentai said to Li Liangzuo.
"For these students who have completed their studies and choose to become officials, they must pass the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, and then be sent to various places to serve as deputies, and they can only become regular after three years of practice.
This early dynasty allowed Li Liangzuo to have a more comprehensive understanding of the current Xixia, Xixia is entering the fast lane of rapid development, most of the people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and the next step is to begin to move towards a rich and well-off life.
In the past three years, in addition to the annual financial revenue, Li Liangzuo has also allocated a part of Zhou Shengcai's smuggling to the imperial court.
Officially, due to Li Liangzuo's full support, the Western Xia was able to rise again so quickly, and the increase in financial revenue Li Liangzuo also began to increase the income of officials, compared with three years ago, the income of officials at all levels doubled, and for the officials with better political performance, the officials reported to Li Liangzuo by the Ministry of Officials, and rewarded these people.
The number of officials in the Western Xia Dynasty has increased, and Li Liangzuo's requirements for officials have become stricter, and the officials of the Western Xia have cracked down on corruption very severely, and the heads of people will fall to the ground if they are corrupt in one or two, and there have been no less than a dozen officials who have been cut down in the past three years, so the current Western Xia officialdom is politically clear, the officials are honest, and the entire Western Xia is a thriving scene.
After the next dynasty, Li Liangzuo returned to the harem, for the government affairs of the imperial court Li Liangzuo basically did not interfere, in addition to grasping the general direction, is to listen to the report, this is also Li Liangzuo left the capital for three years, Xixia can operate normally, and also make Xixia develop an important reason.
As soon as Li Liangzuo returned to the harem with his front foot, Xiaofuzi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the three pavilion elders ask to see you." ” Li Liangzuo complained and said: "I just chased after my ass before I got hot, let them in."
"Your Majesty has a decree to announce the audience of the three pavilion elders" Li Liangzuo lazily sat on the dragon chair and said to the three of them: "There is something that can't be said in the court, you have to chase it to the harem." ” Wei Ge Ning Ling, Nuo Yisheng and Zhou Wentai looked at each other, and Wei Ge Ning Ling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now Your Majesty's age is not young, and my Great Xia Kingdom is also rich, should Your Majesty enrich the harem, after all, Your Majesty has no prince until now, which is not conducive to the stability of the political situation."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Listening to Uncle Huang's meaning, it seems that I may die at any time."
As soon as Li Liangzuo's words came out, Wei Ge Ning Ling immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Weichen doesn't mean this, Weichen hopes that His Majesty can spread out as soon as possible and add imperial heirs to the imperial family to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky." ” "It's just a joke, Uncle Huang, get up," Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "I know about this, didn't you choose two for me three years ago, just let the two of them enter the palace, but it will be after I come back from the battle."
The three of them were taken aback when they heard this, and they all asked Li Liangzuo: "Where is Your Majesty going to use troops, why doesn't Weichen know." ” Li Liangzuo glanced at Nuo Yishu and said: "I want to go south to destroy the soldiers, this time I only use the new army, and the Military Affairs Yuan does not have to interfere; Hey, he's a big problem for my Great Xia Kingdom, and it's a matter of time before I destroy him, and I also want to test the combat strength of the new army. ” The grape is called Pu Tao in the Han Book, and it is not the kind of Pu Tao that grows in the south
