Chapter 318: This is the Tang Dynasty
More than a dozen teenagers are talking about the opinions of flood control, the elders have rich experience, they will smile when they hear the right, and they will not scold when they hear the wrong, and they will make a summary after the end of the evening, even if they have completed today's debate.
Those teenagers said different things and were not organized enough, so Yang Zhao's brothers just listened with a smile.
After Yang Yuan spoke, he was quite organized, and they couldn't help but cheer up and listen carefully.
"Third, let people check the surplus grain of the people, if it is insufficient, there is no need to wait for the consent of Shangguan and Chang'an, and immediately open a warehouse to release grain......
Yang Yuan said very seriously: "Whenever there is a famine, the first thing is to let the people be hungry, if you can't do this, what you said above is empty talk." β
He continued: "Then it will be disinfected everywhere with quicklime, and Langzhong will prepare medicinal materials to treat the people for free......"
One of Yang Zhao's brothers praised: "Big brother, Da Lang has grown up." β
Yang Zhao sneered: "The rebel is just talking nonsense. β
Everyone laughed, thinking he was humble.
Yang Zhao asked, "The old man asked you, why is food the first priority?" β
This is a group of people who have never tasted hunger.
Yang Yuan said: "If the people are hungry, they are afraid of rising up. β
Yang Zhao nodded, he agreed, "When encountering a famine, it is the people's hearts that matter, and it is ...... to send troops to patrol around."
This is the first priority that Yang Zhao thinks, and the brothers also nodded slightly.
Yang Yuan felt that something was wrong.
"Aye, that's not right."
"Why?" Yang Zhao was a little annoyed, feeling that this son was messing around.
Yang Yuan said: "Aya, in the event of a famine, the first priority is to let the people and the victims see hope!" β
Well?
What the hell is this?
At this moment, the Tang Dynasty is strictly hierarchical, and as a group of scholars, the starting point of the Yang family's encounter is to solve possible problems.
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Zhao frowned slightly.
Yang Yuan said: "If the people have something to eat, but if they can not starve to death, they will obey the orders of the officials and let them do whatever they want." So let them see the food, even if it's a meal a day. If you only care about other things, when those victims are hungry, even the most docile people will become tigers and wolves! β
"Giving hope to the victims is the most important thing officials should do in the event of a famine. When it was cold, he gave them clothes to wear and a fire to roast; Hungry let them have something to eat, that's all. β
He got up and said goodbye.
The crowd was silent.
"Giving hope to the victims?"
Yang Xuan muttered, "What is this saying?" β
A maid who was scouting on the side suddenly said, "Lang Jun said it really well. β
Yang Zhao's heart moved, and he said: "This maid escaped from the famine in her original family, Xiangye, you can talk about it." β
The maid came out and looked down at these men, "Ah Lang, the village where the slave was originally located was hit by a flood, and the government also sent an army to patrol first, warning not to act rashly...... But the food in the family was washed away, and the hunger and cold were unbearable......"
Yang Zhao's expression moved slightly.
Does that rebel still know this?
The maid continued: "Before the food from the government arrived, more than ten people had starved to death, and the rest clamored that they were going to rob, so they went to the city to loot, but the government had already prepared, and they were all killed, and their heads were hung outside the city gate......"
The maid looked up, her eyes full of blankness.
Yang Xuan said: "This official actually thought about his official position first and put the people in disregard...... Dog officer! β
Someone said, "But that's what we said before." β
Deathly silence.
Yang Xuan muttered: "I thought that the people should have food in their homes. β
A group of people discussed the way of being an official based on their imagination, and if Jia Ping'an was there, they would definitely denounce it.
Yang Zhao's heart was shocked, "Let Da Lang come back." β
Yang Yuan came back, but he was a little impatient.
He doesn't like to debate with these relatives who talk on paper, and after Jia Ping'an's edification and teaching, he feels that these uncles and brothers are a little naΓ―ve.
"How do you know that?" Yang Zhao didn't know whether to be happy or sad in his heart, on the one hand, his son was happy, and on the other hand, he was a new student......
He was also a member of the shouting and killing of Xinxue, but Yang Yuan rebelled and went to Xinxue, and Yang Yuan was embarrassed to go home and squat, embarrassed to denounce Xinxue with those people.
Yang Yuan said: "Quicklime disinfection is what Xinxue taught. Give hope to the people first, this is what a certain person feels. β
"Tell me about it."
Everyone was in high spirits.
Yang Yuan said: "I have been building a city with the people in the south of the city for the past few days, and although those people are poor, they are very happy...... What if you are unwilling? Is it better to live a happy life? β
He raised his head and looked solemn: "Aya, all the people want is hope, as long as they can be fed and clothed, and let them see hope, no natural or man-made disasters can shake their loyalty to Datang!" β
Rumble!
These words shook everyone.
Yang Zhao muttered, "Hope? β
Yang Yuan nodded, and then retired again.
Everyone looked at his back and couldn't help but be silent.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy shouted: "The eldest brother doesn't understand what he said, but he thinks that the eldest brother is so powerful!" β
Yang Zhao's expression was complicated, and he wanted to say something about the scene, but what came out in the end was: "This rebel, this rebel ......"
One of his brothers said happily: "Brother, Da Lang's words are right, a certain examination was taken several times back then, but his heart was like death, if it weren't for you and other brothers to say that a certain poetry article is enough, but just a few chances, I am afraid that I will give up completely at that time." Isn't this what Da Lang said about making people see hope? β
"Yes! Wish! β
Yang Zhao got up and said, "I'm afraid the children are hungry, so bring the wine and food." β
The brothers pointed at him and laughed.
After eating, several families went back.
Yang Zhao slowly entered his son's room, and when he saw him reading, he went over and took a look, his face darkened.
"New learning, new learning, knowing new learning all day long, what can new learning be learned? Learn something about building houses and cities? β
Yang Yuan raised his head, "Aya, Xinxue can not only repair houses, but also cultivate people. β
Yang Zhao said with a straight face: "Ridiculous! β
Yang Yuan waited for his follow-up rebuttal.
But Yang Zhao called it a day, muttering something like 'Rebel son is messing around, and sooner or later he will regret it'.
It's weird, Aya is qi deficiency today?
β¦β¦
Young people's lives always feel that they are too slow, and they stay up all day long!
They don't know why they feel that it is difficult, as if tomorrow will be better, or they want to escape the uncomfortable today......
The repair work in the south of the city was completed, and Li Yuanying and others returned to the school.
"You ......"
Those who need to enter and leave the imperial city frequently must report every month. When entering the city, there were small officials who checked the information.
"Are you King Teng?"
He couldn't connect the black charcoal in front of him with the carefree His Royal Highness King Teng, and this person's face was molted, black and white, and it was extremely ugly.
Li Yuanying felt embarrassed, covered his face and said: "This king is tanned, release him quickly, otherwise I will go back and clean you up." β
The little official verified Li Yuanying's identity very seriously, and finally invited someone from the palace to check it.
Shame on you!
Li scumbag hated to take out the slingshot and give it to him.
When he arrived at the school, Jia Ping'an had already come, looking at more than ten students who were not in the dark, and smiled unkindly.
"The palms are blistering, the face is molting, it seems that you are doing a good job......"
Li Yuanying felt that this gentleman was gloating, so he quickly drew something on the paper.
"What are your feelings these days? Let's hear it. β
Jia Ping'an walked down, listened to the students' feelings, and walked slowly.
When he walked to Li Yuanying's side, what did he see?
Li Yuanying is painting a person, an exaggerated person.
The mouth is big, and the eyes are small, which makes him look particularly obscene......
"Good drawing."
Li Yuanying smiled: "It's just a casual thing, it's not worth it." β
He felt that Jia Ping'an didn't know who he was drawing, so he smiled very proudly.
"Go back and draw fifty copies, and hand them in tomorrow."
Li Yuanying collapsed instantly......
It's a very comfortable day like this!
After class later, Jia Ping'an returned to Baiqi, and casually found an excuse and slipped away.
Shao Peng said: "If Old Tang is here, see how dare you be so unscrupulous!" β
β¦β¦
The summer prairie looks lush.
More than 300 disheveled Turkic cavalry were galloping.
On the right, there is a flock of sheep moving slowly on the grass like white clouds.
"Hurry up!"
The leader took out a sip of the water bladder and said, "We have robbed a lot of food this time, and then we went to find the Khan of Shabaluo." β
"The Khan of Kshabala was defeated by the Tang."
"What about beating? We can lose, but the Tang people can't lose. Shabalo Khan has searched for many tribes along the way, and life will definitely be better, let's go and attach ......"
The leader looked at the flock and remembered the fatness of roasting whole sheep, and couldn't help licking his lips, "Go get a few sheep to eat on the road." β
The crowd rode their horses and turned to the right.
"Run!"
The shepherds are also Turkic, but they have taken refuge in the Tang people, and if they don't leave, they will definitely die here.
"Kill him!" The chiefs feared that the shepherds would tell the news, so they made them go out of their mouths.
The two horsemen rushed out, and drew their bows and arrows on their horses.
"Captain, do you want to save him?"
Just in the low-lying place not far away, Tang Xu, who was dressed in armor, shook his head, "No need. β
The two horsemen chased the shepherds to the left, while the Turks shot the fat sheep and then dismounted and cleaned up.
Tang Xu got on the horse, "Attack!" β
The leader said that as long as there are a few sheep, he and his henchmen will eat, but no one is a fool, why do you eat fragrant and spicy food, I can only eat bran vegetables?
Everyone shot a sheep and carried it over.
The sound of horses' hooves came suddenly.
The leader looked up and saw two hundred cavalry troops rushing over.
"It's Tang Jun!"
"We were ambushed!"
The Turks were running wildly towards their horses, and some of them were carrying fat sheep.
The war horse was galloping, and the Tang army on horseback stretched out his bow and arrows.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Arrows flew, and the running Turks fell with arrows, and some knelt down and shouted, but the arrows still pierced his body.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the Tang army drew his horizontal sword and easily slashed the fleeing enemy.
Several Turks turned around and fought back.
"Slash!"
Tang Xu stopped the arrows, and a group of cavalry rushed up in turn.
Bell Bell ......
A knife.
Two knives.
Three-knife ......
After blocking three slashes in a row, the fourth slash slashed the enemy's throat.
The cavalry rushed over, and there were corpses all behind them!
"Run!"
The leader did not dismount, so he fled with more than ten horsemen.
He frantically hit the horse and looked back.
"The Tang Army didn't catch up, hahahaha!"
The leader burst out laughing.
More than a dozen people were his henchmen, and they all laughed along.
"Those Tang Jun don't know my identity, and they will definitely regret it after the torture later!"
The leader glanced back, his eyelids darting.
Those Tang troops were easily besieging him, and many people knelt down to ask for surrender, but they were still killed.
The leader shuddered, knowing that it was because his own people had killed the Tang people in the plunder.
"Run!"
According to the posture of the Tang people, if they were caught, the leader would most likely be hanged alive.
The war horses are also competitive and run exceptionally fast.
"Let's go find Shabaluo Khan, and come back to kill all the Tang people!"
The leader shouted unwillingly.
The Turks in front suddenly reined in their horses.
The horse neighed, and the leader shouted, "Why did you stop? β
Speechless.
The leader rushed forward and jerked the reins.
Dozens of riders are accelerating.
"Go to the left!"
They struck their horses and went to the left.
Just as he was about to start, someone shouted, "There are people over here, too." β
So they went to the right.
There are also dozens of horsemen approaching on the right.
The leader rode his horse and spun around in place, shouting in despair: "Why did the Tang people chase us with such fanfare? Why? β
The Tang army surrounded from all sides, and Tang Xu took the lead.
"Dismount, abandon the sword, and kneel to the ground!"
Behind him was the Tang army with a bow and arrows.
The leader held his long knife and trembled.
He knew that his fate would not be too good, and that it might be miserable.
But people have a fluke mentality, and they fool themselves, just to live a little longer.
The leader was the first to dismount and kneel.
Most of the henchmen were like this, only Yiqi shouted, and then rushed towards Tang Xu.
"Don't let go of the arrows!"
Tang Xu drew his sword and greeted him.
Clang!
After taking a look, the enemy horse and Tang Xu staggered by, and gradually, the enemy's body shook, and then fell off the horse.
The horses neighed and ran, and the enemy, with one foot on the stirrups, was dragged away.
Tang Xu put the long knife into the sheath, "Take it all." β
On the third day, they returned to the Shan Yu Protectorate.
The Turks looked at the captives who had been escorted with complicated expressions, and there was no sympathy. Just a few days ago, this group of Turks raided their camp, and while stealing a lot of dry food, they killed a lot of people, and one of the little officials who came to inspect was a Tang man.
So the Tang people were furious, and immediately sent cavalry to chase and kill.
I remember that Huang Wen, the head of the military department in the Shan Yu Du Protectorate, went crazy that day, and scolded the garrison, saying that if you can't catch those thieves, don't come back.
Once the Tang people are killed, the revenge is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and there is no escape.
"Captain Tang!"
Huang Wen came, his scorched face was full of anger, and he scolded when he saw him: "Can those beasts be caught?" β
Tang Xu turned around and beckoned, and more than ten people were brought up.
"There are more than 300 people left, and the brothers continue to chase and kill, and they can't take care of eating, so hurry up and get some delicious food."
Huang Wen dismounted, lifted the leader's hair, and rudely broke his mouth, "Aha! Look, these teeth are quite neat, and it can be seen that they are all leaders who use knives to cut meat and eat, and do not gnaw bones. β
Tang Xu shook his head, feeling that such a military department leader, probably after returning to Chang'an, those colleagues would not recognize him.
Huang Wen slapped the leader's nose and sprayed blood, but the leader laughed.
He only wants to live, and as for the Shabala Khan, it is a cloud on the horizon, and he can't reach it.
Huang Wen kicked it away, and then laughed and said: "Cheap dog slave, you dare to take someone to attack Datang and kill the officials of Datang, even if you go to the ends of the earth, you can't escape death." Today...... Captain Tang, can you have some novel means? β
Tang Xu said lightly: "Yes." β
He sent people to find sticks.
"Sharpen your head."
Huang Wen was puzzled, "What does this mean?" β
Tang Xu squatted on the ground and ate the dumplings, raised his head and said, "Lift the person up later, Gu Dao put it down at the pointed head." β
"Wonderful!" Huang Wen said excitedly: "People are so heavy, they will naturally fall, so he can only clamp Gu Dao, but it is useless......"
Could this person have had a similar experience?
Tang Xu couldn't help but be a little curious.
Huang Wen didn't pay attention to his strange eyes, "Captain Tang actually has such a means, it can be seen that the origin is extraordinary, no wonder he can be in charge of a hundred horses for many years." β
"It's not a certain method." Tang Xu smiled and remembered the young man.
"Could it be the handiwork of someone in the army?" Huang Wen looked a little excited, "Lay a stake in the desert, and there are hundreds of enemies sitting on it...... What a spectacle! Just thinking about it makes me excited. β
Can you bury stakes in the dunes?
Tang Xu lowered his head and continued to eat.
As soon as he arrived, he had to be cautious, slowly test the temperament of these colleagues and colleagues, and integrate step by step.
The Huang in front of him is the target he needs to get close to, if he can't, then it will be difficult for his future plan to be approved.
"Huh! But it's not good to bury stakes in the desert. Huang Wen came to his senses, stared at Tang Xu with blazing eyes and asked, "Whose idea was it?" β
"Wuyang Bojia is safe."
Tang Xu added: "After a certain left, it was he who took over the hundred horses. β
"Is that him?"
Huang Wen asked, "Are you familiar with him?" β
What does this man mean?
Tang Xu was a little entangled by his burning gaze, "Wu Yangbo has been riding a hundred horses, and he is very close to him. β
"Hahahaha!" Huang Wen laughed and said, "You know as soon as you say him." You just came, I'm afraid you didn't know that there was a big Beijing temple nearby, right? That's what Wu Yangbo left here last time. In that battle, he killed all those tribes, and now the people who are only in the capital are honest. β
"You haven't been to see it, then Jingguan ......" Huang Wen gushed about Jingguan, Tang Xu looked at the remaining half bowl of gluttony, and continued to eat with a wry smile.
Later, Huang Wen called the people of those tribes.
The leader was stripped naked, and he looked at the sharpened stake, and although he didn't know what it was for, the fear of the unknown made him cry and plead.
Later, thieves sat on the stakes.
In the midst of the screams, Huang Wen turned around and said to Tang Xu: "Old Tang...... Captain Tang, don't you mind calling you like that, right? β
From the first meeting, Huang Wen was more than polite to Tang Xu, but not enough, and when he heard him change his name at this moment, Tang Xu was overjoyed, "This is so kind." β
Huang Wen asked with a smile: "That Wuyang Bo said that he is a poet who is unique, although he is here, the people from Chang'an also brought his poems, and he likes the ...... of Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain."
Tang Xu smiled and told him some things about Jia Ping'an's poems, especially the things that aroused the popularity of female prostitutes in the Qinglou......
The more they talked, the closer they became, and in the end they simply went to drink together.
In the distance, the sunset is falling, and the grassland is golden. A group of Tang cavalry galloped past from the setting sun, attracting a burst of cheers.
"Wan Sheng!"
The tribes were cheering.
Tang Xu and Huang Wen turned around and saw that the cavalry was galloping towards them, with human heads hanging on the flagpole, and they knew that this was a small tribe that had exterminated a rebellion.
The cavalrymen held their heads high and their eyes widened.
Tang Xu's chest was full of blood, and when he looked sideways, he found that Huang Wen was in tears.
"This is Datang!"
What a pride!
