Chapter 536: The First Day of the Fifth Month Has Arrived
"Eating meat is actually a cure for night blindness?"
When the ministers heard Li Shimin explain the cause of night blindness, they couldn't help but look at each other and said, they are high-ranking officials, so they naturally don't think it is difficult to eat meat, but it is not a simple matter to want the whole world to eat meat.
"This is my sin, the people of the world are poor, everyone is frugal, and they are reluctant to eat a bite of meat during the New Year's holidays, so that they are stubborn." Li Shimin said heavily.
Ordinary people can't even eat enough rice, every day is thin soup porridge and the like, if the food in the hand can be plugged into the chopsticks and not fall, it is dry rice, but a first-class good meal, this kind of treatment is only available to the male laborers in the family when the farm is busy, eating meat is simply a luxury thing.
The eldest grandson Wuji is the best at speculating about the holy will, and persuaded repeatedly: "This is not Your Majesty's fault, compared to the life of previous dynasties, the people of our dynasty are already much richer." ”
The ministers nodded their heads and echoed in unison.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "This is far from enough, otherwise the people would not suffer from this night blindness nine times out of ten." ”
Compared with the poor life of the people of other dynasties, the stable life of the Tang Dynasty was indeed a hundred times better, but even so, it was impossible for everyone to eat meat.
Mo Wu's discovery directly raised the standard of whether the people are rich a lot, and in the future, I am afraid that the proportion of night blindness will be determined, and when the night blindness of the people in the world will be extinct, I am afraid that it can really be regarded as the wealth of the world, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment.
Dasi Nong Su Lingnon said proudly: "Why is it difficult to eat meat? Nowadays, the method of artificial fish farming and artificial incubation technology have been popularized, and in time, there will be flocks of chickens and ducks, and fish meat will be placed on the table of ordinary people like meals. ”
Quan Wanji retorted: "There are too many chickens and ducks, and there is too much food that is consumed, and no one will have anything to eat at that time, so how can we raise chickens and ducks." ”
As everyone knows, if you want to make chickens and ducks grow and place orders, it is impossible to eat grass and insects alone, you must supplement the food, Datang's food is not rich, if there are too many chickens and ducks, I am afraid that people will compete for rations!
Su Lingnon snorted coldly: "Before, the old man proposed to implement pesticides to increase grain production on a large scale, but unfortunately it was obstructed by some short-sighted people, and now I feel that there is not enough food to eat." ”
Quan Wanji suddenly snorted, this matter now seems to be indeed his fault, if Datang can't eat enough food, he will naturally consider raising chickens and ducks, and it will not be a shortage of meat.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "At this time, we will discuss it for a long time, and now it is close to the wheat harvest season. ”
The ministers knew in their hearts that under the threat of widespread night blindness in the Tang Dynasty, it was probably only a matter of time before the imperial court lifted restrictions on pesticides.
Su Lingnong's words changed, and he pointed out: "But then again, raising chickens and ducks in captivity is indeed a waste of food, if I can have a land with abundant water and grass, specializing in breeding cattle and sheep for the people of Datang, then the people of the world will be cured of night blindness, I am afraid that it will be cured without medicine!" ”
The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Lingnon in disbelief, the people who can survive in the court are human spirits, so they can naturally hear what Su Lingnon means, no one thought that Su Lingnon, who was a good old man who never competed in the court, would actually point his sword at the land of Qinghai.
Li Shimin also glanced at Su Lingnon unexpectedly and said, "Su Aiqing, you have something to say." ”
Su Lingnong raised his head and said: "Although the solution to the meat of the people in the world can be alleviated by breeding alone, but the chickens and ducks and the people take food, which is not conducive to the people's livelihood, and will cause the price of grain in the Tang Dynasty to rise, and the people are competing to open up the wasteland, which is contrary to His Majesty's policy of governing the Yellow River. ”
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and no one thought that the peasants, who were harmless to humans and animals, would put forward such a radical proposition in a vain attempt to annex the land of Qinghai.
Quan Wanji's face changed and said: "Master Su, my dynasty is a state of etiquette, and this expedition is forced to counterattack, how can it be to annex other countries, so what is the difference between our dynasty and the tyrannical Sui, and how can the name of Your Majesty Tian Khan be explained to the Western Regions." ”
A group of Confucian scholars can't help but echo one after another, after the Tang Dynasty eliminated the Turks, it did not annex an inch of grassland, and after defeating Tuyuhun in history, it was also to restore the country, that is, the Confucian idea of benevolence and righteousness was dominated again.
Su Lingnong glanced at Quan Wanji coldly and said: "This is not allowed, that is not good, that Er and other Confucian empty white teeth can cure the night blindness of tens of millions of people in my Tang Dynasty." ”
Immediately, Quan Wanji and the others were choked, and their faces turned red and uncertain.
"People are watching the sky, annexing other countries is a tyrannical thing, if I Datang do this act against the sky, there will be heaven's damnation." Quan Wanji argued.
Su Lingnong sneered: "Damnation, I don't know if the Heavenly Dog Eclipse Day is considered a Heavenly Curse, and it will be the first day of the fifth month in a short time, so the old man will see if this Heavenly Dog Eclipse Day is a Heavenly Punishment or something that is destined to happen." ”
The Manchu minister's eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and when the ink technique was displayed, Merton announced that there would be a solar eclipse on the first day of the fifth month, but although it could indeed be calculated according to the theory that Merton said, more people still believed it.
A group of Confucian scholars suddenly twitched in their hearts, if there is really a solar eclipse on the first day of the fifth month, it means that the solar eclipse can be calculated, and the so-called theory of heavenly punishment will probably be nonsense, and the blow to Confucianism will be fatal.
"Okay, this matter will be discussed later, and it will not be too late to discuss it when the army returns victorious." Li Shimin waved his hand to stop this controversy, at this moment, the army is out on the march, and the Tang Dynasty is now focusing on stability and fully supporting the western expedition, and the court naturally can't be chaotic first.
However, everyone understands that with the successive overcoming of droughts, locust plagues, and floods, the effect of the celestial and human induction in limiting imperial power has been greatly reduced, and if it is confirmed that the tengu eclipse is fake, then I am afraid that only the earth dragon will be able to turn over and it will be difficult to support it alone.
However, what they didn't know was that now Li Shimin also began to doubt the turning of the earth dragon, and began to inquire about the truth of the turning of the earth dragon.
Only then did the ministers retreat, but everyone's minds were eager to fly to the first day of the fifth month.
Not only in the court, but also among the people, it is also spreading, and everyone is looking forward to it.
Time flies like a white horse, as the days pass, soon, April passes quietly,
The first day of May arrived.
