Chapter 1324 The end of the year

It turned out that Hu Da went to Qianniu Beishen Mansion. Ma Sanbao caught the thing and was still thinking about it.

Not surprisingly, the Senniu Bishenfu are the Royal Guards. They have another more traditional name, the Habayashi Army, which is the feather of the country, like Lin Zhisheng.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Qianniu Beishen Mansion, Hussar Mansion, and Xiongwuwei were collectively called Xiaoguo. When they were put together, it was the Yulin of Han Dynasty.

Hu Da originally looked like a hawk, but now he has become a watchdog again.

At this time, Ma Sanbao became more and more displeased with Hu Da, because Hu Da's strength reminded him of various situations when he was a slave.

He chanted "House Keeper Dog" in his mind several times, and then looked at the thing he received in his hand. Even though it was a small piece, it was quite heavy.

It was a copper waist badge with a simple style and exquisite texture.

On the front were engraved two large seals with the words "Military Information". The writing was blood red and looked a bit ferocious. On the back was engraved a Tingting with teeth and claws.

Ma Sanbao looked over it over and over, raised his head in confusion, and thought to himself, what kind of yamen badge is this? Why haven't I seen it before?

Over there, Wang Jing explained to him with a smile, "That's a sign from the Military Intelligence Department of the Ministry of War. It's not very useful at other times. It's best not to show it when committing crimes, otherwise the punishment will be particularly severe.

On the contrary, when walking in the army, you can detect lawlessness and ask for information, and no one dares to defy you."

Ma Sanbao felt that the sign in his hand was heavier.

He wanted to ask carefully what kind of yamen the Military Intelligence Department was, but it was obvious that neither Hu Da nor Wang Jing had any intention of answering his questions.

Not to retain a sense of mystery, but to not waste your breath at all. The Military Intelligence Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and stands side by side with the Military Justice Department. Their responsibilities are also very clear, which is to detect the enemy's situation. As for detecting lawlessness, it is through the Military Justice Department.

The power of twin brothers can confuse people's ears and eyes.

The talents in the Military Intelligence Department are truly the eyes and ears of the royal family. They are driven like eagles and dogs, and most of what they do is shady business that is not humane to outsiders.

Ma Sanbao won the waist card, but actually he already had one foot in the Military Intelligence Department...

………………

With this prelude, Ma Sanbao no longer had any taste in eating and drinking, let alone the interest in teasing the young lady.

During the banquet, I heard Hu Da and Wang Jing talking, "Is the wine at Wang Da's place enough? You are eating and drinking here, but Wang Da has no wine to drink. Hehe, that would be extremely bad."

"Just stop saying a few words. He is very interested after studying the history of the Sui Dynasty. Now he is studying the Book of Wei with others. He has not even written poems. How can he care about me?"

"It's true that the same rice feeds all kinds of people. How come you, two people from the same family, can be so different?"

"Your mouth...why is it so bad? If I hadn't taken care of him, he wouldn't be able to drink good wine now, let alone discuss history. He is just an alcoholic in the world. Hehe, how can he compare to someone who is drunk all day long?

Are you living a happy life with a pervert like us?"

"That makes sense. Come on, I'll give you a drink, you pervert."

Ma Sanbao was dumbfounded as he listened, but he felt that Wang Jing was a good person. His brother could actually study the history of the Sui Dynasty. He must be a rare person in the literary world.

There is such a brother, but he himself calls himself a pervert, and he is so proud of himself that he has no trace of shame on his face. He is really a wonderful person.

Ma Sanbao stayed for a while and then stood up to leave. He had to go back and think about what to do about this matter.

The two men refused to stay with him and allowed him to leave the table.

Wang Jing started to hug him and said happily: "What is the origin of this person? Brother Hu seems to value him very much?"

Hu Da Dao: "Don't underestimate him. This man was Chai Shao's slave when he was young..."

Wang Jing shut her mouth immediately. Chai Shao was a wronged person, and the people who had a relationship with him were still alive and well, which meant that Wang Jing knew very well.

……………………

The twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Yuanzhen in the Tang Dynasty passed so peacefully.

Near the end of the new year, we held a final imperial meeting.

As usual, the DPRK meeting reviewed the past and looked forward to the future, and also introduced some new national policies.

The major infrastructure construction in the Tang Dynasty will begin next year, and the time is scheduled to be between spring plowing and autumn harvest. Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places have a relatively long period of exemption from tax and service, and will not go to war. Other places will gradually requisition civil service.

The imperial court should introduce some preferential policies on this matter to appease the people.

Forget about other things, the focus is on the dredging, repair and maintenance of the canal. Although this was one of the reasons for the collapse of the former Sui Dynasty, the canal itself was not guilty of any crime.

And this is indeed one of the legacy of the former Sui Dynasty. The war has continued for so many years, and the canal has not played its role in connecting the east, west, north and south. Many canal sections have shown signs of disrepair.

If we want to start water transportation, we must first build canals...

………………

In addition, the various inspectors were placed under the jurisdiction of the Yushitai. The name of the Imperial Inspectorate was widely questioned by everyone, so Li Po followed his advice and established a new Inspectorate Temple, led by the imperial envoys.

There is also the merger of the left and right Senniu Prefecture and the Qiusi Prefecture into the Habayashi Army, and the restoration of the post of Habayashi Lieutenant General to take charge of the palace guard. Needless to say, Yuchi Gong, Ashina Rongzhen, Luo Shixin, etc.

The people divide the power of the Yulin army.

The left and right garrison guards and the left and right prison gate guards are in charge of the access control of various places in the capital, as well as the military power of the garrison of various departments in the capital.

The troops stationed in the capital were divided into two parts at this time, with a total strength of about 50,000 to 60,000. When the emperor went on an expedition, they were the emperor's personal troops. If there was any rebellion in other places and the local area could not be quelled, they could be dispatched.

Go to quell the chaos.

Soon people began to call these two garrison units in the capital Nan Ya and Bei Ya. Bei Ya was the Yulin Army, and Nan Ya was the general name for the several guards who guarded the capital.

………………

In addition, this court meeting also spread rumors of encouraging trade, which was good news for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.

As for whether the imperial court will vigorously open various trade routes, reduce or reduce commercial taxes, etc., as it did during the Daye period of the former Sui Dynasty, it depends on the next actions of the imperial court.

In the winter of the fourth year of Daye, some businessmen have smelled the fishy smell and are actively preparing for a big fight.

In fact, this is also an inevitable result.

No matter how much Li Po himself or other nobles disliked merchants, they would not explicitly prohibit commerce in the government decree. That would be too stupid.

The civil strife in the Central Plains has basically ended. It is true that agriculture is the top priority, but merchants are also an indispensable part of the social structure. The prosperity of commerce will indeed bring prosperity to society.

What the high-ranking officials in the DPRK have to do is to restrict the hands and feet of businessmen, so that people will only be red-eyed and devote themselves to business.

Judging from today's general trends, the prosperity of business does have a certain foundation and prospects.

Whether it is the Western Regions, the northern grasslands, the eastern coast, or even the small countries in Southeast Asia, they all hope to resume trade with the Central Plains.

In addition, Datang will also undergo infrastructure construction for a period of time, which will create opportunities for businessmen.

In such an environment, the imperial court had no choice but to protect the merchants...

In the general direction, on the inside, merchants must actively participate in the construction of the country. On the outside, the caravans will become tentacles of the Tang Dynasty, extending to distant places. While earning commercial interests, they will also bring the country to the forefront.

Tang's fame and influence spread far and wide.

………………

With all these things going on, the court meeting lasted all day, and when it was over, everyone was in a daze, feeling that there would be more things to do next year than this year.

In fact, the third and fourth years of Yuanzhen in the Tang Dynasty were the most critical two years after the Tang Dynasty wiped out the princes.

In the fifth year of Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty, the strategic environment of the Tang Dynasty became unprecedentedly superior, and the internal situation gradually became stable. There were no longer so many wars, and there were not so many political struggles between the DPRK and China. Everything was developing in a good direction.

.

Flowers and fruit trees began to appear on the road ahead of Datang, and it looked like there would be more and more.

There seems to be a lot of things to do, but most of them fall into place.

The Tang Dynasty's strategic adjustment was only in the fifth year of Yuanzhen...

Of course, this depends on the Turks' expressions. After signing the covenant, everyone is testing each other's sincerity before they can formulate corresponding strategies.

………………

After the court meeting is dismissed, all yamen in Chang'an can enter vacation mode.

As the emperor, Li Po still had no time to relax. He returned to the Tai Chi Hall, looked at the long list of candidates on the table, and fell into a long test.

Everyone else is happily preparing for the New Year, so why the hell does the emperor have to do such a job as killing people?

However, depressed as he was, Li Po still picked up the list.

There are especially many people who need to be judged this year, much more than in the two years when the princes were eliminated.

There is nothing to say about the rebellious bandit leaders in various places. They have all been executed. They have been killed for a long time. They still want to engage in the business of murder and arson. At first glance, they are rotten things that do not want to live a good life. It is also a disaster to keep them.

Officials who have made mistakes and are on the list basically don't need to think too much. They must have committed particularly serious crimes. If they can still be excused, they will not be reported to the police even if they think about it, so it is just a word of death.

The most common ones are people who are caught up in the imperial examination cases in various places. In order to scare Xiao Xiao and make the next imperial examination more peaceful, they can only kill the chickens and scare the monkeys.

However, we can consider serious cases that occur in various places. Those with clear facts will naturally be settled directly. As long as there are some slight flaws, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will note that they can be sent back for retrial.

In fact, when you come to the emperor's case, you don't need to think too much. Unless the officials collude and form a large-scale unjust case, otherwise, if Li Po has this consciousness, he is just a tool.

So Li Po only spent half an hour writing and drawing. The list was basically full of red ticks, and few people could escape death under him.

Li Po put down his pen, stopped looking at it, stretched out, and was in a good mood. He was worthy of being an emperor who led troops to fight, but he was different from those soft-hearted emperors in peacetime...
