Even if Li Tai forcibly found a topic to dispel Sun Xiangfu's previous suspicions, after the fleet set off from Guangzhou Bay and entered the canal, Sun Xiangfu still found something unusual.

Almost every time he passed through a city, the local officials and ordinary people seemed to be ready, and held a grand welcome ceremony for him, and the team that could have returned to Chang'an quickly had to stop along the canal one stop at a time, so that Sun Xiangfu could greet the local officials and the people and say a few words.

After all, people have prepared a welcome ceremony, and you don't even go to the shore, so it's not good to keep the family busy for nothing.

When the fleet arrived in Yangzhou and saw the scene of more than 100,000 people surrounding the wharf, Sun Xiangfu finally determined that there must be something here.

"Say it! What's going on? I'm just passing through, why is there such a big scene? After the fleet departed from Yangzhou Wharf, Sun Xiangfu couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Li Tai in the cabin.

He still remembered that when Li Yuan died, he was only an old servant of the samurai Tong family waiting for him on the dock as a messenger who was ordered to preach false history.

Now, it is impossible to mobilize such a large number of people without careful planning and propaganda, because this era is not the Internet era, everyone can quickly know the information, and it is impossible for the people to gather on such a large scale without artificial propaganda and organization.

"That, it seems that you can't hide it, Sun Jing, come on!" Li Tai had a sense of awe for Sun Xiangfu, the teacher, and when he was forced to ask, he suddenly said with a little emptiness.

"I said? I can't say! After all, this is my father, and I'm afraid he will beat me. Sun Jing shrunk his neck and said.

"Then Sun Feng, you say." Li Tai ordered another humane.

"This is my dad too!" Sun Feng strode back and said.

"Don't look at us, this is also our father." Sun Xun and Sun Ang also took a step back.

In the end, the question was handed back to Li Tai, and after he organized the language, he saluted Sun Xiangfu with a straight face, "Teacher, my father, and even all the people of my Datang feel that you are the greatest contributor to making my Datang into such a prosperous era now, and your merits, no title or official rank, can be rewarded, and the agricultural theory you have studied and created will surely benefit the people of future generations, and its importance to mankind is comparable to the various theories of the past."

Therefore, after the father and emperor solicited the common wishes of the court's ministers and the people of the world, he was ready to consecrate you. ”

"Canonized?"

Hearing this word, Sun Xiangfu was stunned.

In the past, this was just a joke between Li Chunfeng and Yu Xiuer, but why did it become Li Shimin's personal plan, and he also put it into action, so that the world knew about it?

"How can this be, in the world, only His Majesty is a saint, how can others claim to be holy, this can't work, no, I can't afford it······"

Sun Xiangfu's thinking was completely messy, however, seeing his reaction, Li Tai, Sun Jing and others had an expression that they had expected, and it seemed that in this world, the one who knows Sun Xiangfu best is Yu Xiuer.

"Teacher, don't shirk, in order to reward your merits, my father has taken great pains, besides, this is not the will of my father alone, it is the common will of all the people in the world.

I believe that you also hope that agriculture will be popularized among the whole people, so that all future generations of people can benefit! ”

Li Tai's mission here, in addition to welcoming Sun Xiangfu, is also responsible for persuading him to a certain extent, because Sun Xiangfu has already revealed in front of Yu Xiu'er that it is not easy to be a living saint, and his idea of not wanting to be a saint is not pretending to be hypocritical, but really unwilling.

Therefore, from the perspective of his persuasion of Sun Xiangfu, it was from the perspective of the popularization of agriculture and the status of agriculture in the education circle, and he wanted to use agriculture to kidnap Sun Xiangfu to follow.

However, Sun Xiangfu didn't eat his set, and after his thoughts calmed down slightly, he said, "If the agricultural pedigree is not popular, it has nothing to do with whether I am canonized or not, as long as the imperial court promotes it from the policy level." This drama has no meaning except to make me live aggrieved and lose joy for the rest of my life. ”

Knowing that he was reluctant early on, Li Tai naturally had a statement that he had prepared a long time ago, and said, "How can it not matter!" The study of the sage, and ordinary learning, but can not be discussed in one place, the reason why our Tang Dynasty can dominate the world, all the foundation, are built on agricultural output, if the people can not eat, other things, there is no way to talk about it, so, this is not the father does not pay attention to it. ”

Li Tai is canonizing Sun Xiangfu with the benefits of the rule of the dynasty.

Although Datang has stepped into the era of the industrial revolution with one foot, the national policy of agriculture-oriented has always been unshakable, because people always have to eat.

When its importance in the minds of the common people is raised to a level comparable to that of literature, there will certainly be more people who will study it.

Just imagine, when the students of later generations are not better than who composes poems and songs, but when they are better than who planted the fields with higher yields and better quality, what kind of scene will it be?

Such a picture, Sun Xiangfu only flickered in Sun Xiangfu's mind slightly, and was dispelled by him, it seems, unlikely. Therefore, he added, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to agriculture, and I want the people of the world to enjoy the benefits and live a well-fed and clothed life because of the rise of this doctrine, which I understand."

However, even Confucius was praised as a saint by posterity after his death, how can I enjoy such an honor while I am alive?

The point is that this honor is not a pleasure for me at all, or even a kind of torture, and in the future, when all the people of the world judge me by the standards of saints, my words and deeds will no longer be free, and if my image collapses, the consequences will be very serious. ”

Li Tai smiled when he heard this, and persuaded again, "It won't be that serious!" My father is still called the 'Supreme Emperor'! It's not like it's time to eat, sleep, or go out to play, and I don't see how much pressure he has! ”

Of course, Sun Xiangfu knew that Li Shimin had no pressure, and he even enjoyed it!

But he can't do this himself, after all, he is not the ruler of this country, and he can't enjoy everything in this world with peace of mind like Li Shimin.

When he was about to open his mouth to refute again, Li Tai didn't give him a chance, and said again, "Anyway, do you want to, the relationship is actually not big, the will of my father has been made, and all preparations have been made, do you want to resist the decree for this matter?" It seems that you don't even have a chance to resist now, and your wife and eldest brother should be waiting for you in Luoyang at this time. ”

All right! If this is the holy decree, then all the arguments and reluctance seem weak, as Li Tai said, he now has no chance to resist the decree, because the whole world expects him to be holy.

Then, Sun Xiangfu spent more than a day on the boat, and finally, Luoyang Wharf was in sight.

On the bow of the boat, Sun Xiangfu saw a lot of familiar figures, standing in the middle were the crown prince Li Chengqian and Yu Xiu'er, and the rest were Chu Suiliang, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Pei Lawyer, Yu Chi Baolin, Xi Junmai, Xue Li, Zhao Long, Zhao Gang, Zhao Qiang and many others.

Of course, Wang Erniu and a cadre of villagers in Xi Village are also there, but there are too many people in Luoyang City who come to see the excitement, and they are already crowded together.

This kind of treatment is the difference between a saint and a mortal, in the past, that is, when the emperor came to Luoyang, he could have such a grand welcome scene.

"Congratulations to Master Sun for returning to the court."

Including Li Chengqian, all the people who appeared on the dock bowed down and shouted loudly the moment Sun Xiangfu stepped off the board.

This kind of treatment is even more exclusive to the emperor.

But if you want to ask them why they did this so smoothly, you have to look at the Datang Daily, which was printed every day during this time.

Datang Daily, now basically able to do a daily print, in the Central Plains, rapid distribution, the recent front page headlines, is in the form of serialization, Sun Xiangfu from the first year of Zhenguan out of Chang'an, to the introduction of Champa rice in Jiaozhi, these more than 20 years, everything he has done, all the words he has said, all the hard work for the country, the impact of these contributions on the Tang Dynasty, explained in detail.

Of course, the things that came out were all beautified by the group of people led by Wang Deyong, just like eating a bowl of cold noodles in Broken Leaf City before and eating up the whole bowl, Wang Deyong said in the record that he was diligent and thrifty, never wasting a grain of grain, and interspersed with some praise poems in it.

If Sun Xiangfu himself reads such an article, it is estimated that he will get goosebumps all over the place, but the people's acceptance of the content in it is unusually high.

In their opinion, the person who brings a better life to these people should be the perfect person as said in the newspaper, the most important thing is that they know Sun Xiangfu, and all the people who have listened to Sun Xiangfu's lectures, they all feel that what is written in the newspaper is true, this number is large, just in the Central Plains, there are millions of people, and now, even in the Western Regions, there are millions of people who have listened to his on-site lectures and cultivation demonstrations, and have benefited a lot.

Because, for more than five years since Sun Xiangfuzhenguan arrived in Byzantium in the seventeenth year, he almost never stopped lecturing, and the farming level of the local people has been greatly improved after he arrived, and he basically enjoyed the benefits brought by agricultural technology.

Therefore, previously, Li Tai said that Sun Xiangfu's canonization is the common will of the people of the world, in fact, it is not false at all, as for how this will came about, it remains to be studied, anyway, the words of future generations, there is not much real history, because history is written by the victorious ruler, and now, Li Shimin is the victorious ruler.

As a member of Li Shimin's rule in this era, Sun Xiangfu is better than being hypocritical, it is better to listen to the arrangement generously, at least, it is good for the spread of agriculture, the social status of agricultural students, and the descendants of the Sun family. (https:)
