Speaking of gifts for returning to Luan Chang'an, Li Mi was full of praise for the idea of presenting a new calendar.
As the emperor's former confidant, Li Mi knew what Li Heng wanted most.
Present a new calendar and highlight the new dynasty and new atmosphere!
This is also what the emperor who is waiting to return to Luan Chang'an longs for most, that is to be recognized by the whole world that his new dynasty is no worse than the previous emperor's era!
Li Mi said with some worry: "I wonder if such a hasty revision of the New Calendar can be more accurate than the Dayan Calendar?"
Li Mi once served as the emperor's secretary and young eunuch, an official position in charge of the imperial library.
The Dayan Calendar took the monks and his party eight years to calculate and compile, but Wei Yuan said that it could be calculated in just two months, which is indeed incredible.
Li Mi was worried that King Jianning would compile a false calendar in order to present a new calendar, which would easily be attacked by the court ministers.
However, Li Yan was very confident in Wei Yuan. A few days ago, Wei Yuan reported that 22 effective measurement points had been obtained for the sun, moon and star trajectory maps in various places. Wei Yuan had accurately calculated the revolution period and the more accurate summer solstice and winter solstice.
day, the next step is to perfect the details of the mental calendar.
It would take another month for the emperor to return to Luan Chang'an, during which time Wei Yuan could complete the new calendar.
Li Yan comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Duke Mi, Wei Yuan will definitely be able to compile a calendar that is more accurate than the Dayan calendar!"
Seeing that Li Yan was so confident, Li Mi stopped talking.
The carriage entered the territory of Beiting from Gaochang City. This year's snowfall in the north suddenly came early. A blizzard suddenly hit Beiting, causing many people's houses in Beiting to be crushed by the snow.
Cao Lingzhong, the Protector of Beiting, was a veteran of the Tang Dynasty and had always had great prestige in the Protectorate of Beiting.
After the snow disaster, Cao Lingzhong immediately wrote to the Governor's Office, and Li Yan immediately asked Gao Chang to donate a large amount of cold-proof clothing and temporary tents to Beiting.
Cao Lingzhong also asked soldiers from the Beiting Protectorate to help the people with disaster relief, and finally controlled the development of the disaster.
By the time Li Yan arrived in Tingzhou, Cao Lingzhong had arranged for the people affected by the disaster to be sent to the military camp. However, the loss of livestock and houses caused by the snowstorm greatly damaged the vitality of Tingzhou, which had just calmed down the unrest.
Li Bi originally thought that this snowstorm would cause people to die of hunger everywhere, but when he arrived in Tingzhou, he found that the disaster relief work was smooth and orderly.
Li Mi didn't know that the snow disaster in Tingzhou had been foreshadowed for a long time. Several players who studied meteorology had already issued a snow disaster warning to the Governor's Mansion.
Officials at all levels in Beiting have also made preparations for disaster prevention and relief. This large-scale snow disaster in history, which caused the displacement of tens of thousands of households, did not cause too much population loss due to the efforts of the players.
Li Mi saw the porridge shack where porridge was being served in an orderly manner, saw the Beiting soldiers who were helping the people rebuild their houses, and saw various supplies being distributed to the victims. He couldn't help but admire in his heart, King Jianning's appreciation for
The control power at the grassroots level has surpassed that of the Emperor.

The entire Longyou was built like an iron barrel, and the efficiency of the Longyou government was enough to put any county in Guanzhong to shame.
However, Tingzhou was not affected by the snowstorm, but the Uighurs and Geluolu people suffered.
In the Uighur Khan City, Mou Yu Khan could not help but frown as he listened to Pugu Yehu, who was galloping to the Khan City, reporting on the snow disaster situation in Beilin City.
He suffered a snowstorm in his first year after taking the throne. The grassland tribes are very superstitious, and many rumors have spread in Khan City.
Mou Yu Khan was also ruthless and quickly killed those who spread rumors.
But killing people alone cannot stop the spread of rumors.
Pugu Yehu, who came all the way to Seoul, knelt on the ground and said:
"Khan! The city of Beilin was severely damaged! Half of the houses in the city were crushed, and half of the livestock sheds collapsed. The most important thing is that the hay for this winter has not been accumulated properly. Please save the forest of Beilin!"
Compared with houses in the Central Plains, tents on the grasslands are more likely to be crushed by snow.
Snow suddenly hit the north, and Beilin City, which had not yet prepared for the winter, was the worst hit.
Mou Yu Khan frowned. Many places were affected by the snowstorm this time. Some tribes even lost contact with their entire tribes during the snowstorm.
Even if there is not much fodder in Khan City, how can we help other places?
What's more, Mou Yu Khan knew very well that upper-class nobles like Pugu Yehu and others had already accumulated a lot of wealth thanks to the Tang goods monopoly system.
Nowadays, many tribes are suffering from disasters, not only natural disasters but also man-made disasters!
The herdsmen were obsessed with buying goods from the Tang Dynasty and did not reserve enough supplies for the winter.
Upper-class nobles like Pugu Yehu exploited the herdsmen through Tang goods, requiring the herdsmen to survive the winter with only single clothes.
After a snowstorm, Pugu Yehu came to Khan City again to cry out and beg for disaster relief.
That’s not true!
Mou Yu Khan took a deep breath to calm down his anger.
Pugu Yehu is an important force in the Uighurs and one of the nine surnames of the Uighurs. Mouyu Khan's status is far less stable than that of the old khan. He can only appease and win over these princes within the Uighurs.
You must know that although Mou Yu Khan is the heir designated by the old Khan, Prince Ye Hu, who originally also had the right to inherit, is still in the Tang Dynasty!
As long as Prince Ye Hu is still there, Mou Yu Khan's position as Khan will always be threatened.
He reluctantly comforted Pugu Yehu with a few words, and gave him some fodder for the winter. Then another tribe leader came over to cry out for poverty.
After finally dealing with these things, Khan City can be said to be bleeding heavily this time.
Mou Yu Khan wanted to cry but had no tears. The princess of the Tang Dynasty was coming to marry him soon, and he could hardly afford to get married!
How about borrowing some money from the Datang businessman who promoted the loan last time?
But when he thought of the harsh loan conditions, Mou Yu Khan felt a little painful.
These Datang merchants never did business at a loss, and borrowing money from them would cost you a huge amount.
However, if the grand wedding of the Uighur Khan was too shabby, it would be a disgrace to the royal court.
Fortunately, Datang Heqin's team moved slowly, and Mou Yu Khan was ready to drag them further.
At this time, in the Wangfu Bank in Shazhou, Jiang Lun was leading a group of economic players to settle accounts.
Yang Yan followed Jiang Lun, his eyelids twitching as he looked at the string of numbers on the blackboard.
Who knew that in such a building, the number casually mentioned by the boss Jiang Lun was a huge amount of money and food!
Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars were allocated with just a few orders from Jiang Lun.
If you ask Yang Yan where is the heart of Longyou, Yang Yan can definitely say that the conference room of Wangfu Bank is definitely the core place of Longyou!
Here, how much money is just a string of numbers. The destination of Longyou's massive funds is decided here, along with the deployment of countless materials!
Unlike his friend Liu Yan, who was ready to take the path of being a pro-government official, Yang Yan was ready to go the long way to becoming a financial official.
When Yang Yan was assigned to the Salt and Iron Tax Bureau, Jiang Lun originally didn't pay much attention to this famous financial expert in the Middle Tang Dynasty.
First, Yang Yan is still young and is not yet the powerful financial minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Second, Yang Yan is an indigenous person after all. From the perspective of economic players like Jiang Lun, the indigenous people will definitely not be able to learn about finance.
But what Jiang Lun didn't expect was that the creator and implementer of the "Two Tax Law" had an astonishing talent in finance and economics.
Sure enough, these people who can leave their names in history books are not ordinary people!
Following Jiang Lun, Yang Yan quickly mastered these seemingly complicated economic theories. Yang Yan even humbly asked Jiang Lun for mathematics advice. Yang Yan was also quite familiar with the mathematical formulas that once gave Jiang Lun a headache.
talent.
This also allowed Yang Yan to quickly stand out and become Jiang Lun's right-hand man.
Compared with the good face of the Uighurs, the Geluolu people are much more honest.
Geluolu also suffered from a snowstorm, and Geluolu's Jinshan King immediately asked Longyou for help.
Although the Geluolu Xuanwei envoy Timur said many good things to the Geluolu people, Jiang Lun always insisted on "assisting with loans" and refused to provide free assistance to the Geluolu people.
King Jinshan had to use two newly discovered gold mines as collateral to borrow money from Datang to purchase disaster relief supplies.
The angry Ge Luolu comforted Timur and cursed Jiang Lun as an "inhuman vampire".
However, in Yang Yan's view, his boss's robbery could be said to have been planned for a long time.
Wangfu Bank has already begun to stockpile supplies for the winter, and these supplies have even been transported to a warehouse near Geluolu.
These two newly discovered gold mines have been coveted by Wangfu Bank for a long time. Taking advantage of the Geluolu snowstorm to get the gold mines this time was something Jiang Lun had planned for a long time.
Compared to the fussing over the Geluolu people, what was being discussed at the Wangfu Bank Building today was a loss-making deal.
"Lao Jiang, is the amount of the loan to Lingzhou too large?"
"The money from Lingzhou's young crops has not been recovered yet? If we borrow so much money this time, when will we be able to get our money back?"
"This Shuofang Jiedu envoy Du Hongjian did not borrow money from the court, but actually borrowed money from King Jianning. What is the reason for this!"
"If you ask me, I should follow the rules of the Geluolu people for borrowing money and let Du Hongjian take out the things as pledge."
Jiang Lun sighed, after doing too much financial work, it is easy to worry about everything.
Sitting here are senior officials from the Salt and Iron Tax Bureau and Wangfu Bank. They do not support this plan to assist Lingzhou.
Jiang Lun winked at Yang Yan beside him, and Yang Yan immediately said:
"Everyone, first of all, this aid to Lingzhou is an order from His Highness. Du Hongjian, the governor of Shuofang Army, is a hero of Conglong. He has a neutral position in the court and is also a worthy target."
"This time Lingzhou suffered a disaster, our Longyou's helping hand will also help win the hearts and minds of the military and people in Lingzhou."
"Moreover, we have also reached an agreement with Du Hongjian, the Jiedushi envoy. From now on, our merchants in Longyou can freely enter and exit Lingzhou, and Wangfu Bank can also establish a branch in Lingzhou. Isn't this enough?"
Jiang Lun coughed and said: "This loan is not an interest-free loan, it is our Longyou's economic penetration into Lingzhou. I will leave it to you, Yang Yan, to prepare the Lingzhou branch of Wangfu Bank."
