Singing and dancing in the Tai Chi Palace.

The aftermath lingers.

A variety of food and wine were served in turn.

The leader of the steppe tribe who only watched was not squinting and drooling.

His Majesty Li Er's mind had already drifted to the sky above Linjia Village.

For the arrangement of the Siyi Monarch, he can only temporarily shirk it.

Now Datang has a new salt-making method, a pig-raising method, and a red-brick burning method.

What's even more terrifying is that there are potatoes with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu and sweet potatoes with a high yield.

Now, Datang will surely reach its peak in a few years.

To be truly rich and strong.

Without consulting Lin Ran's advice, His Majesty Li Er decided to carry out Tai Chi to the end.

It's just to draw circles for you.

After the banquet, His Majesty Li Er hurriedly arranged the accommodation of the grassland tribes.

Of course, they can't be allowed to live in the palace.

There are many hotels and inns in Chang'an City, which are enough to accommodate their 100 people.

After everything was arranged, His Majesty Li Er, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, and Imperial Historian Wei Zheng drove straight to the direction of Linjia Village together.

On the way, His Majesty Li Er solemnly explained that Wei Zheng must not reveal his identity.

Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng knew that this matter was not trivial, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Childe, today I saw with my own eyes the situation when those barbarian tribes came to worship."

What Hou San said in front of Lin Ran was full of energy and excitement.

"Childe, I also saw His Majesty waving to me."

"Wave to you, you're afraid you haven't woken up, right? Do you see what Your Majesty looks like? ”

Lin Ran looked disappreciative and spoke.

"Hehe, you can't fool Childe with anything. I really can't see His Majesty's appearance clearly. But from a distance, it does look very imposing. ”

"Of course then, Your Majesty? After all, they all have their own royal spirit, and it's strange if they are not majestic. '”

"Ahem, ahem..."

His Majesty Li Er's cough sounded at the door.

He listened to His Majesty really, with the spirit of a king.

"Lao Li, why didn't you come without notifying, I'll pick you up at the door. Lao Liu? Is Lao Liu off work? ”

Lin Ran got up and said enthusiastically.

"Village chief, General Li won't let me inform you, he wants to come and have a look."

Liu Laohan touched his head in the back and replied with a smile.

"Lao Li, come in and sit, the old house is also here, come in..."

Wei Zheng was frightened by Lin Ran's title, what kind of immortal is this, dare to call His Majesty Lao Li.

I really don't know how dead words are written.

"General Lin Gongzi also thinks that he is a general, so he will give some face. Don't be in a mouthful of Lao Li, Lao Li's name. ”

"This is General Wei, General Ben's lieutenant."

His Majesty Li Er pointed to the imperial historian Wei Zheng and opened his mouth to introduce.

"Hello General Wei."

"Lao Hou prepares hot pot..."

"Lao Wei went to the greenhouse to pick some fresh melons and fruits."

Originally, Wei Zheng wanted to say that he had had lunch, but was stopped by a look from His Majesty Li Er.

He barely ate much in Taiji Palace, and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling was the same, since His Majesty Li Er told him that he was coming to Linjia Village, he almost didn't eat a bite of the wine banquet in Taiji Palace.

How can the taste of the wine and food in the palace be compared with the taste of the wine and food in Linjia Village.

"Lin Gongzi has accepted the worship of the grassland tribe at the east gate today."

"It was a shocking scene."

His Majesty Li Er's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and his neck was not thick.

"Yes, Your Majesty is still happily waving to the people."

Lin Ran replied with a smile.

"Do you believe what your soldier just told you?"

"If you don't believe the words of your own soldiers, who can Ben Gongzi trust?"

"It's also said that your own people don't believe it anymore? Who can you trust? General Ben heard that those steppe tribes asked His Majesty to enter the customs, but His Majesty did not agree. ”

"Why didn't you agree? Do you want to let them go back to the grassland to herd the sheep? ”

Lin Ran's words made the imperial historian Wei Zheng immediately feel better.

In his thinking, it was to let such a foreign race of the grassland tribe continue to roll back to the grassland to herd sheep.

"General Li, is your news reliable?"

"Reliable, Lao Fang and Lao Wei were also there at that time. If you don't believe me, you can ask them. ”

"That's right, if it's not my race, its heart will be different, and the grassland tribe doesn't know how much trouble it will bring when they come to the Central Plains?" Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng interjected in time and said.

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. That's true. But we can turn them into our race. ”

Lin Ran's words were shocked all over the room.

"Childe, the hot pot is here."

The boiling hot pot was carefully served by Hou San.

His Majesty Li Er and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling have long been obsessed with the taste of hot pot.

But Lin Ran's words just now were even more attractive to them.

Turn them into our race?

How much wisdom and courage does this take, even Wei Zheng was shocked by this sentence.

"Lao Hou on the mutton, this is the order. General Li and the three must have been hungry for a long time. ”

Lin Ran thoughtfully added. "And the wine."

"By the way, why didn't Xiao Li come with you? I still miss him. ”

When the imperial historian Wei Zheng heard this, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

This kid from Linjia Village is really not afraid of the unknown, Lao Li, Xiao Li came casually.

It's like it's very familiar.

"Inuzi, I've just entered school, I'm going to the school today, I'll definitely bring him next time."

His Majesty Li Er responded with an embarrassed smile.

"How's his teacher? If not, come to Linjia Village. Ben Gongzi taught him personally. ”

Lin Ran said with a stinky face.

His Majesty Li Er couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, you kid and the prince are a teacher, and they can be regarded as the same senior brother.

You're still here, vernacular, how is your teacher?

It's a laughable question.

"Childe, the mutton is cut. The wine is coming. ”

Lin Ran poured a large plate of mutton into the boiling hot pot.

Instantly, the room was filled with enticing scents.

Wei Zheng sniffled vigorously.

Can lamb still be eaten like this, and it is still so fragrant?

"Village chief, I picked the melons and fruits."

Liu Laohan put a plate of cleaned tomatoes and cucumbers on the plate.

The red and tender color was mixed with the turquoise color, which made Wei Zheng stunned for a while.

looked at His Majesty and the Prime Minister with a breezy look.

It seems that these two people have come to eat this rare thing many times.

"Old Wei, come and taste this tomato."

Lin Ran said warmly.

Wei Zheng took the tomatoes handed over by Lin Ran and gnawed them directly without thinking.

A sweet and sour taste that he had never experienced before rolled in Wei Zheng's mouth.

Wei Zheng happily closed his eyes to taste and experience this rare taste of happiness.

"Wonderful, really wonderful."

looked at Wei Zheng's intoxicated appearance, and sighed with emotion.

Lin Ran took a few more tomatoes and put them in front of him.

"It's delicious, just a few times."

"Come, come. Lamb is ready to eat. ”

His Majesty Li Er and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling couldn't wait for this sentence for a long time.

Drink wine, eat meat.

A hearty hot pot.

The four people who ate were sweating profusely.

In the end, the topic returned to the starting point before the meal.

"Young Master Lin, what should I do if Your Majesty doesn't accept the grassland tribes to live in the Tang Dynasty?"

His Majesty Li Er was full of wine and food, wiped his mouth and asked.

"Lao Li, is there something wrong with the saint today?"

Lin Ran's words made Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng almost fall down on the table.

This place is running out of places.

It's a matter of time before something goes wrong.

The two of them began to think in unison.

"Lin Gongzi, is there any problem?"

In the surprised eyes of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng, His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth and asked as if he was fine.

It was as if the person with a brain problem that Lin Ran said just now was not him.

"Not only is there a problem, but there is a big problem. Big, big problem. ”

"Lao Li, do you know how many people there are in Datang today?"

"About 10 million."

"Then do you know how many people are in the steppe?"

"This general really doesn't know."

His Majesty Li Er replied truthfully.

The tribes of the steppe are more or less nomadic, and it is difficult for anyone to keep a detailed count of them.

"Lao Li, there are at least about three million."

"What? So many people on the steppe? ”

His Majesty Li Er looked incredulous.

"Do you think that if there is no such a large population base, how can the Eastern Turks have hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Isn't this a living example?"

"So many people have come to us, and Your Majesty has turned them away? Lao Li, you said it yourself, does he have a problem with his brain? ”

"Isn't it stupid?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but say loudly.

"These Fanbang alien races don't talk about it with our Datang, they don't even know basic farming, what's the use of coming?"

Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng immediately stood up for His Majesty Li Er.

"Superficial, can't you teach if you don't know how to farm?"

"If they don't know how to farm, won't they learn?"

"What's more, we don't just ask them to farm, there is a bigger role for them to contribute to Datang."

Lin Ran picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine and said.

"What's more?"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly became interested, staring at Lin Ran with bright eyes and asking.

"Of course, farming is only one aspect. The people who want to come to the grassland tribe in Guanzhong must be the nobles of the grassland. ”

"Isn't controlling the nobles on the grassland controlling the entire grassland?"

"Besides, the land of the border is barren and piece by piece, let them mine it."

"Give them a few years of free planting, and when the wasteland becomes fertile land, sorry, you have to pay taxes."

"Don't pay taxes, it's not in line with the laws of Datang, as the new people of Datang, we have let you plant the land for a few years, and that's Your Majesty's Longen."

"By this time they are used to farming, and we have to collect not only taxes but also more taxes, so that they can't be overfed."

"If they are full, they are easy to rebel."

Lin Ran said this, and the eyes of the three people who said it all widened.

Is this the words that come out of the mouth of a teenager?

It's even older than an old fox.

Cunning, don't don't, don't.

"A good one is well fed and holds on, and they are prone to rebellion. Childe is talented, Wei admires. ”

Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng stood up and said respectfully.

As the so-called achiever comes first, although this young man is young, he is definitely a achiever.

"Lao Fang has been taught today."

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling also got up and saluted and said.

His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, and he was able to conquer Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling in one fell swoop.

This boy is a demon.

As for scolding himself for having a problem with his brain, let him go with the wind.

"Lao Li, I must bring Xiao Li next time, and tell Xiao Li that I miss him."

As soon as His Majesty Li Er sat down in the carriage, he heard Lin Ran's enthusiastic voice outside the carriage.

"Okay, goodbye Lin Gongzi."

"Goodbye······"

It was different from the heavy atmosphere in the carriage.

When I returned to Chang'an, the atmosphere in the carriage was obviously much better.

His Majesty Li Er recalled what Lin Ran had said, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Two Aiqing, do you have anything to add to Lin Gongzi's suggestion?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Lin Gongzi said is very good."

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling said.

"Very good, very good." Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng also responded immediately.

"Now that the two Aiqing have reached an agreement, there is basically no objection to this matter, and tomorrow I can reply to the leaders of the grassland tribes."

"Haha, haha. Waiting for the wasteland to become fertile land... What an interesting guy, he came up with such an idea. ”

A smile rippled across His Majesty Li Er's face. It hasn't gone for a long time.

"Guanyin, the young man of the Lin family is really interesting."

Li Er, who returned to the palace, came to the Lizheng Hall and happily chatted with Empress Changsun about the topic he talked about in Linjia Village today.

"What a wise little fellow. No wonder he dared to open his mouth to be a teacher for Cheng Qian. Truly extraordinary······"

After listening to Li Er's description, Empress Eldest Sun responded with a smile.

"But that kid dares to say that there is something wrong with my brain? It's really angry, I can't cry and laugh. ”

"Pss

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

On the second day, the leader of the steppe tribe was very happy when he received the reply from His Majesty Li Er.

They all shouted the Heavenly Khan.

The entire Taiji Palace was shrouded in a peaceful atmosphere.

His Majesty Li Er specially sent a delegation to the grassland to guide the herdsmen who wanted to enter the customs.

said that they were missions, but in fact, they were all out-and-out "agricultural experts"

The purpose is to teach them how to farm.

It is the people in these missions who are almost worshipped as gods by the various tribes of the steppe.

Because they taught them to farm, they said goodbye to the nomadic life.

Compared with the wandering nomadic life, stable farming seems to be an extremely happy thing.

The most important thing is to have food to eat.

If there had been such a good time, why would their steppe tribes continue to be in turmoil?

Isn't it all about a bite?

The footsteps of the old man of time have never stopped moving forward for anyone.

In the eyes of the old people looking forward and the children expecting it.

Yuan Zheng is coming.

Yuanzheng is the Spring Festival of later generations.

There are still three days left until the annual big day.

But Lin Ran only increased his sadness and trouble.

Because of the girl Li Le he always remembered.

Come and go in a hurry!

Like fog, like rain, like wind!

It's been a long time since I've been to Linjia Village again.

Recently, the school has also complied with the rules of Datang, and Lin Ran gave the children annual leave a few days ago.

When the school year starts, it's after Shangyuan.

Lin Ran has nothing to do these days, and always goes back to the avenue at the head of the village to look.

No one knew what the village chief was looking at from the top of the village.

Liu Laohan, who is doing good things, will always be after Lin Ran looks around.

Run over and join in the fun.

until I was shivering by the fierce cold wind.

will tremble and run to the entrance of Linjia New Village.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen Gongzi Lin for a long time, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that Gongzi Lin has planted a lot of fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse recently."

"Your Highness, do you think that Lin Gongzi will invite us to the greenhouse to have a taste."

The cuizhu girl smashed her mouth and asked.

"Eat, you know how to eat. This princess has only been taken by you to eat. ”

Princess Changle replied with her big beautiful eyes.

In my heart, I was imagining what it would be like to meet.

"Your Highness, Gongzi Lin is waiting for us at the entrance of the village."

"Really?"

When Princess Changle heard this, she immediately lifted the curtains.

Sure enough, a figure not far away was clearly visible.

It's not the young man from the Linjia Village, who else can it be!

Lin Ran had already seen the familiar carriage.

He greeted the past with a smile.

"Could it be that my young lady knew that my young lady would be coming today, so you came to greet him?"

The Cuizhu girl got out of the carriage and said with a smile.

"No, my son has nothing to do, come to the village entrance for a walk."

Lin Ran was seen through by Miss Cuizhu, and her little face couldn't help but be hot.

"Nothing to do? Mo Fei's school is closed. ”

Princess Changle stepped out of the carriage with the support of the Cuizhu girl.

He asked, with big eyes shining beautifully.

"Well, it's been a few days off. Miss Li hasn't seen her for a long time. ”

"It just so happens that this place is not far from the greenhouse, and the two girls go to the greenhouse with my son, pick some melons and fruits, and feast guests and friends in the house for the holidays."

Lin Ran looked at the well-behaved and lovely Princess Changle and invited warmly.

"Okay, thank you so much, Young Master Lin."

Princess Changle and Miss Cuizhu were secretly happy when they heard this.

On the way here, the two were still talking about the warm shed melons and fruits, but they never thought that they would be warmly invited by Lin Gongzi just after getting off the car.

Lin Ran led the two into the nearest greenhouse.

The view inside made the two girls immediately lose their mouths in surprise.

What did they see?

They saw a world full of flowers.

I saw a world that was even more brilliant than spring.

"Miss, is this a red fruit?"

Cuizhu shouted and jumped for the bright tomatoes.

It's like discovering a new continent.

"Miss Cuizhu, this is a tomato, it's delicious for the girl to taste."

Lin Ran beckoned the soldiers who came nearby and took a woven bamboo basket.

The Cuizhu girl picked a few red tomatoes and chewed them with Princess Changle.

The two little girls had a mouthful of food, completely devoid of the reserve that royal princesses and palace maids should have.

"Miss, this is a courgette. Now there are courgettes to eat. And it looks so delicate......"

The eyes of the green bamboo girl were bewildered by the thin and long cucumbers.

Princess Changle had actually noticed the existence of the cucumbers a long time ago, but she was just embarrassed to speak.

Now she was cheered out by the green bamboo girl, and she also flashed her beautiful big eyes and looked at it boldly.

"The two girls pick whatever they like, and pick whatever they like."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, he handed the bamboo basket to the cuizhu girl.

"Childe is so good, no wonder Miss likes you so much......"

As soon as Cuizhu spoke, the entire greenhouse instantly quieted down.

Princess Changle's face flushed shyly, she would never have thought that Cuizhu would be so bold and say such a shameful word.

Cuizhu suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly opened his mouth to add.

"No wonder Mademoiselle likes your gift so much."

"Well, a gift from Childe. This girl likes it very much. ”

Princess Changle's red little face flew a bright flower, lowered her head and twisted her mouth and said.

"If you like it, my son still has a gift for the girl today. I hope the girl likes ...... as much as she does."

"What kind of gift?" Cuizhu asked curiously with a blinking eye.

"Keep it secret for the time being, and you'll know when you return to Chang'an."

"The two girls picked first, I went to prepare lunch, I have known the two girls for so long, and I haven't invited the two of you to eat hot pot once, I will definitely let the two girls taste it today."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, he left the greenhouse with a smile.

He knew that his stay here would affect the interest of the two girls in melons and fruits, so he simply found an excuse for them to have a good time.

"Your Highness, Gongzi Lin is gone."

The cuizhu girl stuck her head out of the warm shed and made sure that Lin Ran was far away.

happily took a bite of a cucumber and said happily.

"Don't talk nonsense in the future, next time you dare to do this, this princess will never be spared."

Princess Changle pretended to be angry, but she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

"Your Highness, Cuizhu knows it's wrong."

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time."

Princess Changle looked at Cuizhu with a pitiful look and covered her mouth and smiled.

"Hurry up and pick melons and fruits, this bamboo basket will be filled for this princess."

"Your Highness really thought of it with Cuizhu, it was full, it must be full...... Otherwise, I'm sorry for Lin Gongzi's kindness. ”

So, Princess Changle had a red tomato in her left hand and a crisp green cucumber in her right hand.

Nibble on a tomato and then a tender cucumber.

There is no greater happiness in life than this.

This is the purest thought of this little girl now.

It turns out that the definition of happiness is so simple!

Cuizhu will bend down to pick tomatoes, and then tiptoe to pick tender cucumbers.

I also picked a few rare melons, fruits and vegetables that I couldn't name.

After a while, the bamboo basket was filled with green bamboo.

"Your Highness, is it okay? Cuizhu felt that she was about to lose her weight. ”

"Well, almost."

Princess Changle nodded with satisfaction.

It was enough for her, her father, and her mother to eat for a few days.

"Two girls, Childe's meal has been prepared, please come over."

Hou San was at the door of the greenhouse and said politely.

"Here, give me this bamboo basket."

Hou San saw that Cuizhu had a hard time lifting the bamboo basket, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

made Miss Cuizhu instantly have a good impression of Hou San.
