If we follow the old rules, the prince's first choice will naturally be the queen's son.
As for Yuwen Chenglong's nominal wife, Dugu Feng, she has given birth to three boys and two girls. Her eldest son, Yuwen Haochen, is now ten years old. The little boy is smart, talented in both civil and military affairs, and is considered qualified to be crowned prince.
Sister Guanyin, Hua Guang, Master Hua Sheng and others were all empresses. In terms of status, their sons could not be considered concubines! Especially Yuwen Haotian, born to Sister Guanyin,
He is also the eldest son of Yuwen Mansion!
Therefore, after much hesitation, Yuwen Chenglong still could not decide who should be the crown prince.
Judging from Yuwen Chenglong's current age, establishing a successor is not so urgent, but it is a hidden danger after all. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens one day, the newly established Yuan Dynasty will be in chaos![
Moreover, if the position of the crown prince remains undecided for a long time, all the young people in the Yuwen family will inevitably have other ideas. If something happens due to this, it will really be Yuwen's fault.

What worries Yuwen Chenglong even more is that he still can't discuss this matter with others!
Even confidants like Wei Zheng, Yu Wenzhi and Yuwen Chenglong, when asked about their opinions on this matter, all pretended to be deaf and laughed, and rambled on for a long time without getting to the point.
As for the parties involved such as Princess Leping and Sister Guanyin in the inner court, it is even more impossible to discuss!
After thinking for a long time, Yuwen Chenglong finally decided to leave the position in the East Palace vacant for the time being and wait until the future.
After temporarily putting aside the matter of establishing an heir, Yuwen Chenglong began to concentrate on settling down in Luoyang.
Although it was his first year on the throne, Yuwen Chenglong was not diligent at all. He only stepped forward to provide directional guidance when encountering some major military and national affairs. As for other specific matters, he left them all to his subordinates.
Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
Every day, apart from going around Longmen Academy and tinkering with some mysterious things, Yuwen Chenglong spent most of the rest of his time hiding in the palace, playing double cultivation and having sex with his family members.
Although Yuwen Chenglong, the boss, was very unprofessional, Dayuan's military and political affairs did not fall behind.
Under the auspices of Wu Yunzhao, Qin Qiong and other marshals, Dayuan began a large-scale conscription and disarmament.
The so-called conscription is actually to assign the new graduates of the Jiangnan University Martial Arts Academy to the military across the country to enrich the grassroots of the army.
This kind of thing has started since Yuwen Chenglong was the governor of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now it is just a routine matter, and it can be arranged as usual.
As for the disarmament, it mainly involves reducing the troops previously recruited by Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Luo Yi, Li Zitong, Zuo Caixiang, Xu Yuanlang and others.
For this part of the troops to be surrendered, the old, weak and disabled must first be screened out, and then a cruel selection process must be carried out to keep the strong and strong. After all this, a total of about 500,000 troops from these parties were laid off.
More than 400,000 yuan was lost, and in the end less than 80,000 yuan was retained.
The more than 400,000 people who were laid off were broken up, packed up and shipped to several major overseas enclaves.
According to Yuwen Chenglong, these captive soldiers were to be reformed through labor! Specifically, they were assigned to farm in the military camp.
However, although it is a labor reform, Yuwen Chenglong's treatment for these people is quite good. Although the land rent is a bit higher, it can ensure that everyone's food and clothing are not a problem. If they work harder, they can have some savings every year.
Moreover, if you have worked for three years and performed well for three consecutive years, you can also be assigned a field. If you have worked for five years, you can also be assigned an independent house, and you can even be assigned a foreign woman to warm the bed.
After hearing these conditions, the exiled surrender soldiers basically had no emotions! After all, it is not easy to survive in troubled times! Nowadays, the conditions given by the Yuan Dynasty seem to be relatively generous.
The surrendered soldiers resigned themselves to being deceived by Yuwen Chenglong![
With these overseas enclaves sharing the pressure, the aristocratic families in the Northland were wiped out again. The land reform in Middle-earth went quite smoothly. Not only did all the refugees settle down smoothly, there were even arable lands.
A lot of surplus.
In this regard, Yuwen Chenglong gave an instruction that Wei Zheng and others thought was strange, that is, to return farmland to forests.
Specifically, within a certain range along all large and small rivers, in all mountains and swamps, all cultivated land originally reclaimed will be returned to farmland. Lakes and swamps can be returned directly. As for mountainous areas, trees will be planted instead. Whether it is planting fruit trees
, tea trees, pine trees, sandalwood and other wood can be planted, but farming is not allowed!
In addition, all cultivated land must be standardized and organized. If the plot is less than two miles in radius, it will be returned to farmland. If the plot is larger than two miles, trees must be planted every two miles. According to Yuwen Chenglong, this is
Windbreak! Its function is to prevent wind and sand, conserve water sources, and prevent soil erosion!
Regarding this item, Yuwen Chenglong was very strict and even included it in the performance evaluation of officials.
For those who violate this policy, their property will be confiscated and I will be exiled three thousand miles!
Although Wei Zheng and others did not understand this, under Yuwen Chenglong's strong request and in view of Yuwen Chenglong's consistent wisdom and prowess, everyone still obeyed and resolutely implemented it.
Under the strong advocacy of Yuwen Chenglong and the resolute implementation of Wei Zheng and others, the nationwide land reform in the Yuan Dynasty basically carried out smoothly, but encountered considerable resistance in the Sili area.
Because, there are still many aristocratic families remaining in the Sili area! For example, the Sima family in Hanoi, the Liu family in Hedong, the Yuan family in Sili, etc.
These aristocratic families are all real aristocratic families with profound heritage. Many of them occupied a pivotal position in the original Sui Dynasty.
For example, Sima Dekan, who killed Yang Guang, and Sima Lingji, the queen of the last emperor Yuwen Chan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, were from the Sima family in Hanoi; and Yang Jian's chief bodyguards Yuan Zhou, Yuan Min, and the seven nobles of Luoyang during Yang Tong's reign
One of them, Yuan Wendu, and Grand Master Hua Sheng, were both from the Yuan family of Sili; Liu Shu, the husband of Yang Awu, the fifth sister of Princess Leping, and Liu Jingyan, the wife of Chen Shubao, the last emperor of Nanchen, were both from the Liu family of Hedong.
These families all have a long history and a wide range of connections. Even with a slight twist, they can be related to Yuwen Chenglong. Naturally, Yuwen Chenglong would not be so cruel as to directly raise the butcher knife to kill people.
After thinking for a long time, Yuwen Chenglong finally decided to exchange interests with these families in exchange for the Sili family's support for the land reform. Specifically, it was to separate part of the tea house, winery and overseas trade business.
These businesses have always been monopolized by the Yuwen family, and the profits are quite generous. Other aristocratic families have always been covetous, but due to the Yuwen family's great power, they have never been able to get involved.
Now that the eggshell has finally cracked a little, these aristocratic families naturally pounced on it like flies that smelled the fishy smell! As for the land, uh, can gold be grown in the ground?
At this point, land reform within the entire Yuan Dynasty was finally launched.
Compared to Yuwen Chenglong's tumultuous and lively Tuge Revolution, Li Yuan in Guanzhong was also playing hard with his life during this period.
