Speaking of Li Yuan, after Li Shimin agreed to stay in Yizhou, Li Yan prepared a mansion for him. After the various facilities in the mansion were prepared, Li Yan went to the clinic to pick up Li Yuan, and it was not appropriate to let him live in the clinic.

Li Yuan is now at the age of 68. Even in modern times, he is also an elderly man, not to mention that in the Tang Dynasty, he is definitely an old birthday star.

Perhaps it was during the years of house arrest that Li Yuan had a great enlightenment and saw through the coldness of the world. During his time in the clinic, he did not put on the air of the Supreme Emperor. If a person who did not know him met him, he might have thought he was an ordinary old man.

"Grandfather, this palace has arrived." Li Yuan's palace was specially arranged by Li Yan in the south of the city. It is not far from the new prince's mansion, but it is very close to Nanshi.

Li Yuan leaned out of the carriage and looked up at the gate of the palace. At this time, several servants were hanging the plaque of Qingyang Palace. He sighed and said to Li Yan: "Ye'er, tell them not to hang up. Now I live in seclusion in Yizhou, just to live a quiet life. If I even hang the name of the palace specifically, don't you all know that this is my residence? I have seen through your grandfather. In the end, the glory and wealth are nothing more than a waste. I just want to live like an ordinary person in the days I received and experience the joy of my old age."

Li Yuan suddenly became a little sad, which made Li Yan a little helpless. But what should he hang the plaque in the palace? "What kind of plaque does the emperor and grandfather want to hang?"

"Just have a Li Mansion?" Li Yuan got off the carriage, "I will hide my name from now on, no longer call him Li Yuan. Just call him Li Fu. When someone asks you, you say I'm here to do business."

He opened his mouth wide and Li Yan was defeated by Li Yuan's novel idea. "Isn't this suitable? Isn't it? I will not scold me for being unfaithful and unfilial when my father knows it."

When Li Shimin mentioned, Li Yuan snorted, "I am unfaithful and unfilial! He is unfaithful and unfilial. Now he remembers me, the Supreme Emperor. What has he done in ten years? Don't worry, I will hold you back then." Li Yuan suddenly said angrily, his gray beard trembling.

"Okay, but why did the emperor's grandfather do this?" Li Yan was a little puzzled.

Li Yuan walked towards the palace with his hands on his back and said, "I am, as an emperor, I am a lonely person. That is to bear the loneliness of a lifetime, even for his wife and children, father and son, brothers, and how tiring it would be to live like this. When he was Duke of Tang, your father, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji were still inseparable brothers. But since I ascended the throne, everything has changed. I am already tired of that kind of life. Now I don't want to experience that feeling of being alone anymore. Otherwise, who would dare to approach me?"

Li Yan nodded, and it turned out that Li Yuan was using this idea. The system of superiority and inferiority in the Tang Dynasty was engraved in everyone's bones. If others knew that Li Yuan was the Supreme Emperor, then no one would dare to approach Li Yuan. After all, being with the king is like a tiger. Although Li Yuan was the Supreme Emperor, he was higher than Li Shimin in terms of status, but he had no rights in his hands. "It turns out that the emperor's grandfather wanted to integrate into Yizhou's life as a commoner and experience the joys of life."

"That's right, otherwise no one would have played with the emperor's grandfather." As he said that, the two had already entered the palace. According to Li Yuan's request, the palace was not very luxurious, similar to the courtyards of other wealthy families. Li Yan also specially assigned him some slaves and guards to protect his safety.

After walking around the hall, Li Yuan was very satisfied with the facilities of the hall. The bedding, bathroom and other things in the bedroom were similar to those in the special care ward. These were all what he asked for, and he was not used to leaving these things.

"Are the emperor and grandfather still satisfied?" Li Yan accompanied Li Yuan to turn the palace, take a rough look at the bedroom, garden, and pool.

Standing by the pond in the hiking hall, Li Yuan looked at the groups of goldfish in the pond and said, "It's very good, hey, where did this fish come from? It's so beautiful." He looked surprised.

The goldfish in the pond were all taken out of the pond of the royal palace and placed here by Li Yan. He said, "These are all taken out of the pond of the royal palace."

Li Yuan nodded, "I didn't expect that there are such strange things in Yizhou, which are good, not bad." He nodded repeatedly, thinking that these are all local things from Yizhou.

Li Yan didn't explain, so as not to become more and more confused as he said, "If the emperor's grandfather likes these things, I will send someone to send some more, such as starlings and parrots, which will make the emperor's grandfather a little fun."

"Well, okay, okay, okay." Li Yuan was very pleased and looked at Li Yuan lovingly, "No wonder you like Erlang so much. Everything makes people feel caring." Erlang in his mouth was Comrade Li Er. I'm afraid that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Yuan dared to call Li Shimin like this.

After accompanying Li Yuan for a while, Li Yan withdrew from the inn to let Li Yuan rest. He turned around and went to the governor's office. Now he was planning something. With the increase of Yizhou's population, the commerce in Yizhou City is now unprecedentedly prosperous. South City and North City can hardly accommodate so many vendors. So a bold idea formed in Li Yan's mind and re-planned Yizhou City.

Because this matter involved many details, Li Yan called Shangguan Yi, Dou Xiande and Guan Sixing over to discuss the matter together.

"Your Highness, if it is rebuilt, then some of the people will definitely demolish it. I am afraid that some of the people will not want to." After Li Yan expressed his thoughts, Guan Sixing said hesitantly.

According to Li Yan's plan, Nanshi and Beishi will only serve as agricultural products markets, and a large-scale market will be established in the heart of Yizhou City. Li Yan calls it a commercial street, and the commercial streets will be sold in clothes, furniture, perfume and other things.

Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment, "But Your Highness's idea is also right. Now there are too many vendors pouring into Yizhou City, and all kinds of shops are crowded in the South City and the North City, making a mess."

"Yes, with the expansion of the city, some changes are necessary. We cannot stick to the thousand-year rules. Chang'an has been around for hundreds of years and is still the same. This greatly limits the development of business. Now our Yizhou wants to break this pattern and build a new type of city."

Li Yan took a sip of water and continued, "I will hand over a planning map to you in a few days. Yizhou City will be built according to this planning map in the future. What you need to do now is to register all the idle land, and the state-owned land must be handled quickly. Every household must apply for a real estate certificate and land certificate to standardize the land use. Otherwise, Zhang San occupied one acre of land and Li Si occupied three acres, which would be fine. You can go and see, there are new houses everywhere outside Yizhou City, and some businessmen from other places also randomly enclose land. What does this look like."

Any ruler is a great landlord. This has not changed for thousands of years. Li Yan did not think it was before, but now he has a deep understanding. His current idea is to legalize the land ownership and make the land where the people now live as their legal private property. The land that the people have not occupied is taken back to the government and plan in a unified manner to avoid land enclosure. The legalized private land of the people will be their private property without a limited period. Li Yan also wrote this article into the new law of Yizhou.

After being criticized, Shangguan Yi and Guan Sixing both shook their heads. In fact, the Tang Dynasty had very strict planning for the city. For example, these folk houses absolutely did not allow the people to change the structural planning at will. Both of them also understood this point, but this was the case in Yizhou City. There was never a clear record outside the city, so they naturally neglected management.

"Yes, Your Highness, after the meeting is over, I will organize Wuhou to take back the land enclosed by those merchants who illegally enclosed land." Guan Sixing said.

Li Yan nodded, "This should be faster, because it will affect the next expansion of Yizhou City."

Both of them nodded, and Shangguan Yi was still confused about the first question, "Your Highness, Guan Sixing just said that many people in the expansion must be demolished. How should the people in these people be resettled?"

"I guess how much their house is worth to pay them. After the expansion, we will build residential houses in the outer city walls. They can exchange their current houses for a new house." Although it is a feudal society now, the royal power is paramount, and it would be fine if he didn't spend a penny to force these people away, Li Yan was always psychologically unable to overcome this hurdle, so he decided to pay the people equally.

Li Yan said this and both of them were breathing heavily. As long as Li Yan gave them the conditions, there would be no problem to move these people away.

"Your Highness is so kind. Although forced movements to the people will cause grudges from heaven, but there has been no equal compensation from all dynasties." Guan Sixing smiled happily.

Li Yan glanced at the two of you, "I don't know your little thoughts yet, because I am afraid that I will lose the people's hearts? This is the case. You must hurry up and apply for a real estate certificate and land certificate, otherwise you will not be able to compensate according to the number." After that, Li Yan stood up and left, remembering something, and said, "Also, how are you doing with the census, ID card and household registration book?"

This matter is under the management of Shangguan Yi. Because Wu Hou still has to serve government affairs, he has to report to him for some things. He said: "Now the free application of ID cards in various prefectures and counties has ended. The number of people who apply for ID cards is 3.6 million."

Li Yan blurted out, "There are many black households in Bashu."

Guan Sixing said: "In the past, the taxes were collected based on the heads of the people, and the people could report them as much as possible. But now His Highness has introduced a policy of collecting taxes based on land. The more people the better. After all, they have more land they have allocated. In addition, with high yields of rice and low taxes, they want to have more people in their family, so how can they hide it from it?"
