Chapter 1379: An Insurmountable Mountain! (Thanks for the bother!) )
(2-in-1 chapter!) )
"Oh! That's right! I heard Cheng Qian say yesterday that you have a new way to plant white stacked flowers, which can save seeds and make the harvest more. ”
In the Ganlu Palace, after ordering the war, Li Er talked to Li Zexuan about farming, that is, the recent white stack planting activities in Lantian County.
When Li Zexuan heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this method was studied by my master with a lot of energy back then, and it does have something outstanding, but how good it is and to what extent it needs to be verified, if Your Majesty wants to promote the planting of white stacked flowers in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is better to wait until next year or the year after that, at that time, maybe you don't even need to buy white stacked flowers from people in small countries in Nanyang, just go directly to the minister!" ”
Being told in front of him that Li Er was slightly embarrassed, and then his complexion returned to naturalness, and he smiled: "Oh? So, you're pretty confident in your approach? All right! Later, I asked Cheng Qian to send someone to Guangdong to buy some white stacked flowers, and when the time comes, follow your example and plant white stacked flowers in the Huangzhuang! ”
Since Li Zexuan is so confident, Li Er decided to believe Li Zexuan, and also did a "venture capital", and the white stacked flowers received at that time could just make some winter clothes for the palace concubines and princesses!
It's really sad to say, although he is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, but when he first ascended the throne, the treasury was emptied, and he and the eldest grandson queen were used to living that kind of frugal life.
He knows Li Zexuan's temperament very well, and what can make Li Zexuan so sure is basically nine out of ten, so he plans to take advantage of Li Zexuan's "east wind" to make a small fortune by the way!
When Li Zexuan heard Li Er's words, he couldn't help but feel a little sad for Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian, Changle, and Lao Li's family, who said that the royal people were happy? Look at the people who were "buttoned" by Lao Li one by one, and they couldn't even afford to wear cotton clothes and jackets! It's really a bit embarrassing for the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
"If Your Majesty has this intention, then the minister will immediately repair a book, let the minister's people bring back some more seeds, and then directly distribute them to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Li Zexuan arched his hand.
Li Erzhen said, "Hmm! That's the best! ”
But the next conversation between the two monarchs and ministers is a little "unbearable"!
"But Your Majesty, do you want to give the money you need to buy the white stack flower seeds to the ministers first?"
"Get out~! Bastard boy! I'm still going to rely on you? ”
………………………………
"Rolling" out of the Ganlu Palace, Li Zexuan was slandering Lao Li for being unkind, and wanted to hack his seed money, but three people came to him.
"Hey~! Xiao Xuan! Why did you stay in the palace for so long? If I don't come out again, I can't help but go in and pick up people! ”
Cheng Biting Jin slapped Li Zexuan's shoulder, and said angrily.
Li Zexuan was surprised: "Why haven't the uncles left yet?" My nephew thinks you're all going back! ”
Waiting for Li Zexuan at the palace gate were Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Niu Jinda, the three veterans closest to him.
"Hey! It's okay for us to go back, I don't want to be old and black, I have to go to the barracks to transfer troops! Walk! Let's talk as we go! ”
Cheng Biting Jin said sourly, and then said with a smile: "Anyway, Xiao Xuan!" Recently, Lantian County has made a lot of noise about receiving white stacked flowers for free, and a few of our old guys have heard about it, and I also heard that you have taught the farmers a new planting method of white stacked flowers. ”
Li Zexuan was puzzled: "What? Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, Uncle Niu, you also plan to plant white stacked flowers in the fiefdom? ”
Qin Qiong smiled and nodded: "I heard that Xiao Xuan can have a way to increase the survival rate and yield of white stacked flowers, and a few of our old guys also want to mix and mix!" ”
In fact, it was mainly because the greenhouse vegetables last time made them taste the "sweetness", this time I learned that Li Zexuan was going to plant white stacked flowers on a large scale in the fiefdom, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Niu Jinda also wanted to let their own farmers follow Li Zexuan's "footsteps" to make a small fortune!
In other words, they are all from wars, and they don't have so many good ideas to make the bankers live better like Li Zexuan on weekdays, so they can only do what Li Zexuan does, and they follow what they do, which is basically equivalent to Li Zexuan indirectly helping them take care of Zhuangzi!
Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Since the three uncles have this idea, after the little nephew goes back, he will send someone to teach the new planting method of white stacked flowers to the farmers of the three uncles, and by the way, send some new farm tools!" And don't hide it from the three uncles, just now Your Majesty also mentioned this matter to your little nephew, and in the end, Your Majesty decided to plant white stacked flowers in the Imperial Village! ”
When everyone heard that even Li Er was going to use Li Zexuan's method to plant white stacked flowers in the Huangzhuang, they couldn't help but be even more confident in Li Zexuan's method, Niu Jinda smiled and said: "Then this time, we will touch Xiaoxuan's light again!" ”
Li Zexuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Uncle Niu, don't say that, you take care of your little nephew a lot on weekdays, what can this little thing be counted now?" Oh, by the way, since several uncles are also planning to plant white stacks, then the little nephew will let people buy more seeds from Guangdong by the way! ”
"Huh! Xiao Xuan! No, no, no! The number of our dealers is not as good as yours, and we don't need many seeds, the old man has already asked Hu Shang in the West Market to find a way to get it, Xiaoxuan, don't worry about it! ”
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said loudly.
Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda had a hint of embarrassment on their faces, and then they invariably moved two steps to the side, opening up some distance from Cheng Yanjin.
Li Zexuan was puzzled: "Uncle Cheng, the little nephew has already sent someone to buy all the flower seeds from Hu Shang in Xishi?" Where else can you buy this? ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Hehe! Those Hu merchants naturally have their own methods! The old man told them that if they couldn't hand over 1,800 catties of flower seeds within half a month, I would go and smash their shop at that time! They can go to Dashi and transport some flower seeds, or they can send ships to Guangdong to find Nanyang maritime merchants to buy, anyway, I Lao Cheng will just give money when the time comes! And all the Hu merchants in the West Market agreed! What do you think? Xiao Xuan? My old Cheng is better than yours, right? ”
“....... Good! Ahem, Uncle Cheng's method is indeed good! ”
Li Zexuan was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but mourn for two seconds for the group of Hu merchants in the West Market, and when he met Cheng Biting Jin, an old rascal, it was really bad luck for them, Dashi and Datang were thousands of miles apart, and it was estimated that if those Hu merchants wanted not to be smashed by Cheng Biting Jin, they would probably have to go to their shopping mall enemies in the end - Nanyang maritime merchants to buy seeds!
It's really sad!
Out of the palace, through the Vermilion Bird Street, Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda, because of different reasons, went home directly, but Cheng Yanjin was still able to go a little further with Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan then remembered the doubts in the court today, so he asked:
"Uncle Cheng, where did the envoy Ashina Simo sent by Jieli come from? It seems that many officials in the court are familiar with him, and he still calls himself a minister like His Majesty, what is going on? ”
Cheng Biting Jin was stunned, paused for a moment, he sighed, and said, "Ashina Simo! This person is actually also a man, he was originally an Eastern Turkic nobleman, the son of Ashina Liushe. In the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, the Turkic Qimin Khan fled to the former Sui, and the Mobei tribes supported Ashina Simo as the Eastern Turk Khan. Later, after the internal affairs of the Turks stabilized, the Qimin Khan returned to the Eastern Turks, and Ashina Simo took the initiative to give up the position of Khan~!
However, it is a pity that because Ashina Simo looks very much like the Hu people and not like the Turks, the later Chuluo Khan suspected that he was not from the Ashina race. Simo went through two generations, Luo Khan and Jieli Khan, and often served as Jia Bitler, but in the end he was not able to take charge of the military and set up a tooth tent.
In the early years of Wude, Ashina Simo served as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty many times, and now many old ministers in the court are familiar with him. In August of the seventh year of Wude, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan led an army to invade the Tang Dynasty. Today, the Holy Lord led his troops to resist the Turks and stated the pros and cons to the Turks. Therefore, Jieli Khan sent Simo and Tuli Khan to meet with His Majesty and ask for peace and reconciliation, and His Majesty agreed to their request.
On the day of Renshen in August of the same year, Ashina Simo came to Chang'an to meet the saint at that time, which is now the Emperor Taishang, who summoned him to the front of the imperial bed, praised his sincerity and simplicity, and named him the king of Heshun County. Therefore, in the early court today, Ashina Simo called himself a minister to His Majesty, which is reasonable! ”
After hearing this, Li Zexuan nodded suddenly in understanding, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that this Ashina Simo still has so many connections with my Tang Dynasty, and listening to Uncle Cheng, he can be regarded as a man who values love and righteousness!" ”
In fact, what Li Zexuan didn't know was that according to the original historical development, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the Tang army destroyed the Eastern Turks, Ashina Simo and Jieli Khan were captured by the Tang army. Ashina Simo thus became one of the few Turkic generals in the history of the Tang Dynasty!
After bidding farewell to Cheng Yanjin, Li Zexuan took Pang Feiji and ran towards Yunshan.
Along the way, looking at the people running for a living, listening to the cries of the merchants in the streets and alleys, and looking at the naughty children chasing and frolicking on the street corners, Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is coming, and the current peace is estimated to be impossible soon, right?
There are millions of Turkic people who control the strings, and the situation of this Turkic army obtained from Li Er's mouth has put a lot of pressure on Li Zexuan!
An army of millions may be nothing to modern people, but in sparsely populated ancient times, it is basically an invincible existence! You must know that the total population registered in the entire Tang Dynasty is only more than 20 million! Not to mention that the Turkic people often live in the steppe and live on horseback, and the physical quality of the soldiers is somewhat better than that of the Tang Dynasty, this war is really a vicious battle!
Although in the original history, it was the Tang Dynasty that defeated the Turks, but there are no absolutes in the world, in the face of such a powerful Turk, if you are a little careless, the Tang Dynasty is not without the possibility of being overturned! What's more, the current Datang has deviated from the original historical track in many places, who can be sure that Datang will win again this time?
Once the Tang Dynasty is defeated, everything he does in this world will eventually be destroyed, and Li Zexuan will never allow this kind of thing to happen!
“..... Master Hou! Hou Ye? ”
Li Zexuan, who was meditating and meditating, suddenly heard Pang Feiji's shouts beside him, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Pang Feiji asked cautiously, "Master Hou, is there another war?" ”
Li Zexuan didn't want to hide it from him, so he nodded and said, "Hmm! How do you know? ”
Pang Feiji replied: "In the morning, my subordinates saw three groups of foreign envoys in front of the palace gate, all of whom seemed to be Turkic, so they guessed that something should happen to the border of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Zexuan sighed faintly and said, "You guessed right, our peaceful days are coming to an end soon!" Let's go, go back to Yunshan~! Drive~! ”
"Yes~! Hou Ye~! ”
Pang Feiji looked at Li Zexuan's back worriedly, and then hurriedly urged the war horse under his crotch to chase after him, and asked as he ran: "Master Hou, did Your Majesty send you to lead the army to fight this time?" ”
"Nope! But not necessarily next time! ”
"If Master Hou is fighting on the battlefield, his subordinates will definitely follow Master Hou to the death!"
………………………………
The imperial court wants to send troops to attack Liang Shidu, the right guard camp in Chang'an City, the frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses, the officials of the six departments of the court, are also very busy, the yamen of the various ministries are still brightly lit until late at night these days, a while ago the battle of the city has just passed, the people of Chang'an City, once again "smelled" the smell of war!
Thinking of the appearance of the Turkic envoy in Chang'an City that day, the people couldn't help but discuss, could it be that the crisis under the Turkic soldiers in the city two years ago was going to be staged again? Could it be that the Turks want to tear up the alliance and attack the Tang Dynasty again?
All of a sudden, many people in the city were panicked!
However, this state of affairs did not last long, and the day before the army set out, the imperial court suddenly posted a notice throughout the city, declaring that the Liang division had occupied Shuofang for many years, and did not apply benevolent governance, which made the local people miserable. If the Liang division refuses to surrender, the Tang Dynasty will attack Shuofang!
After learning that the imperial court was not going to war with the Turks, the people of Chang'an immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to sing praises for Li Er's sympathetic people.
It can also be seen from this that the current Turks are not only a mountain pressing on Li Er's heart, but also an insurmountable mountain in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty!
