The time and space of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City...

As spring goes and summer comes, the weather in Chang'an is getting warmer. Although it has not rained for many days, neither the people walking on the streets nor the farmers who farm in villages near the city have looked at any worry.

The battle against the Turks at the beginning of spring not only achieved great victory, but also brought countless benefits to the Tang Dynasty. If it were the past, although the people would be very happy in such a big victory, they would not get any personal benefits.

But this time was different from before. After the army passed by, the people of Chang'an City were shocked. The large number of captured Turkic soldiers actually began to build canals, sluices, and outer cities under the custody of the Tang soldiers.

And this kind of work is also called: labor reform.

The construction of a new outer city is not only to provide more powerful and solid protection for Chang'an City, but also to establish a new commercial and residential area. After the construction is completed, a large number of people will move from Chang'an City to the outer city.

According to the design drawings, each pawn has 8 north-south streets and 14 east-west streets in the outer city. Drainage ditches are set up on both sides of the street, and street trees such as elm and locust trees are planted. There are also public toilets, small parks for tourists to rest, etc.

Although Chang'an City is the main city, in terms of living environment and hardware supporting facilities, these four outer cities are much better than Beijing Chang'an. Not to mention, those who are willing to move will receive official subsidies from the Tang Dynasty, which is a real benefit to the people.

In addition to these four outer cities, the Tang army also supervised the captive soldiers of the Turks to carry out large-scale transformation of water sources such as the Wei River in Chang'an City and the Ba River in the east of the city, as well as the Wu River and the Wu River, such as the establishment of huge sluice gates to control drought and floods.

At the same time, we have built a series of canals and reservoirs that can diversion and storage, and when necessary, we can also share flood disasters. As for places where the terrain gap is too high, huge water trucks are erected, and some places where conditions are more difficult, water extraction equipment using livestock power has been established.

With these sluice gates, canals and water trucks, not to mention the places, just Chang'an City and several nearby counties, droughts and floods that occur every year can be greatly controlled immediately. Without floods, the food in this area will naturally grow very well.

In addition, the crops used are all high-yield, so in a short period of time, I will definitely not worry about food and agriculture issues anymore.

As for whether using prisoners of war to work, it would be inevitable that it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty officials to do it themselves. But with those given by someone in advance, Changsun Wuji and others were cunning, cough cough... all kinds of "good suggestions" that all the twitching corners of their mouths were naturally in control.

On this day, the people of Chang'an City suddenly discovered something strange. That is, there were many more Taoist priests and monks on the streets. If there was no news, most people of Chang'an City would think if there was a family in the city to hold a water and land conference.

The East City of Chang'an City is the rich area of ​​this era. There were already many people sitting in a huge house. If there were people in the officialdom here, they would find that this huge courtyard with a plaque hanging on the Li Mansion was sitting there, and all the officials were counted in the Tang Dynasty.

That's not all. As a team of people guarding a luxurious carriage parked at the door of the Li Mansion, they saw Li Shimin, who was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, walked down from above in casual clothes.

Originally, Li Shimin did not intend to send someone to inform him, but the servants of the Li family dared not break the rules. So Li Shimin stood at the door of the mansion and looked at him, and saw the civil servants and generals led by Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin hurriedly greeted him from the inside.

"Okay, there is no need to be too polite to save trouble." Li Shimin, who shook his head, waved his hand to stop the ministers who were planning to perform a great gift, and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers who knew that they were not suitable for the great rituals at this time immediately bowed to the rituals.

"By the way, have Zhenren and Taoist Yuan and others not arrived yet?" After the ministers all finished their salutes, Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, the real man and Taoist Yuan have not arrived yet, and there is still some time left." Fang Xuanling took off a pocket watch from his waist and opened it, and replied.

In fact, Li Shimin also knew that he was a dignified king of a country. He really lost his identity when he came so early. But when he thought that this matter today was a bit more important than getting the throne. It was enough to be able to endure it until now that he appeared.

"Since we are coming early, let's wait first." Li Shimin, who had actually seen the time just before getting off the car, nodded and said.

Faced with such an arrangement, no one of the civil servants and military generals present dared to object. So he surrounded Li Shimin and returned to the reception hall of the mansion.

Although the number of people coming this time is really quite small, the lobby cannot stand the area of ​​this hall is so large. Not to mention this number of people, it won’t seem crowded even if it is multiple times. In addition, the various supporting furniture and decorations are very elegant and practical, giving people comfortable and enjoyable at the same time.

Unfortunately, these arrangements that would have always been amazed by visitors, but no one cared about them at this moment. If Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling had not taken the initiative to find words to chat, the atmosphere in the hall would have been more depressing now.

After scanning the few ministers who looked a little absent-minded, Li Shimin couldn't help but recall the day more than half a month ago.

At that time, Li Shimin was reviewing memorials alone in the inner hall, and suddenly a familiar voice sounded in his mind: "Your Majesty, I am a True Man Chunyang who is asking for a visit."

At the beginning, Li Shimin instinctively thought that this was the batch of practice items he had taken away during this period, hoping that there would be methods that would help him practice Taoism and become immortals, but there was a hallucination.

But then I thought about it that I had a regular diet and rest during this period. In addition, I had to practice Tai Chi sixty-six times every day, and my physical condition was much better than before, so there was no reason for the disease of auditory hallucination.

And at this moment, the familiar voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, don't be confused. I am indeed a man. If your Majesty has something to say, just speak directly."

"Real person?" Li Shimin, who was still a little uncertain for a moment, immediately asked.

"It's me, Your Majesty." Li Anran, who was outside Chang'an City, replied with a smile.

Seeing that it was indeed the one I had been looking forward to day and night for a while, Li Shimin, who knew that if the other party had not had important things, would never take the initiative to contact him. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "What's the matter with the real person coming to see this?"

"Haha... I'm so let Your Majesty find out that I took a batch of books and items about the practice of Taoism in the lower realms from Your Majesty and went back. To be honest, I didn't think these things were of use, but I didn't expect there was a great opportunity in it."

"It can be regarded as a blessing from His Majesty. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, my cultivation level, which was originally abolished, had to transfer to the divine path, was finally restored. This time I came here to end this great cause and effect with His Majesty." Li Anran, standing on the top of the mountain outside the city, explained with a smile.

"Big cause and effect?" Li Shimin, who had not reacted for a while, waved his hand and sent away all the eunuchs and guards who were serving each other openly or secretly, and said.

"That's right, the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm uses His Majesty's hand to hand me this opportunity to me. This is for the cause, and I have restored my cultivation because of this. This is for the result. In other words, I owe His Majesty too much, and I must first end the cause and effect."

"Otherwise, my cultivation level will not only be unrealized, but I will also make mistakes if I am not careful. At that time, I am afraid that I will not be as lucky as this time." Li Anran, who knew that the other party was still a little vigilant and guarded against him, smiled.

After hearing what Li Anran said, Li Shimin wanted to say that he would not regret it was purely nonsense.

Just kidding, the other party said that there was a great opportunity in the pile of things that were taken away. Moreover, Li Shimin had heard about Li Anran's cultivation being abolished and he had to change his mind to practice the divine way. What a great opportunity to restore the other party's cultivation.

If I hadn't handed these things to the other party's hands, I might have gotten that great opportunity one day.

However, regret is regret, but Li Shimin thought about it again that the pile of things that were sent out had been in his hands for a long time. He also specially allowed Master Yuan Tiangang and other Taoist masters he had found to come and study.

Unfortunately, after so long, these guys are considered true-minded, let alone discovering any great opportunities. Even the book and things that were originally circulated are fakes that were proven to be cheating.

Before the things were in Li Anran's hands, it was only a long time before he actually got a great opportunity. Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin had to admit that although he was the king of a country, his luck in this regard was really bad.

After sighing about his luck, Li Shimin also felt that it was not his chance to come to Li Anran to come to the door. So he calmed down and said, "Since that's the case, then please ask the real person to come to me for a talk."

"Okay, Your Majesty, we'll see you later." After receiving the reply, Li Anran cut off long-distance mental communication.

Although it shows that he has the ability to transmit the mind directly into the inner hall, considering that this behavior will make Li Shimin too nervous. At the same time, he also said before that the influence and limitations of the dragon energy of the human emperor on himself, so he had to change his method.
