Chapter 532: Taking a Politics Lesson
The difference between a smart person and a fool is that they can always quickly know what is good for them.
Li Tai and Li Ke are smart people, so they enjoyed a decent lunch as they wished.
No matter how hard Li You and Li Su were, in the face of hunger, they had to temporarily choose to compromise and fill their stomachs with the leftovers that Li Tai and Li Ke had eaten.
As for the other kings, after a round of protest that the heavens should not be and the earth is not spiritual, they finally ran to the village to ask the children for advice, and they couldn't count on stir-frying or something, and it would be good to cook a pot of porridge to deal with it.
In the afternoon, when they were summoned to the hall with reluctance and complaining, Sun Xiangfu retired everyone, including the warrior Tong.
"I am disappointed by your performance, and your Majesty will definitely be disappointed."
Sun Xiangfu's opening remarks, suddenly called Li Tai and Li Keru were electrocuted, only hated himself for being too stupid, and now he thought of the purpose of his father sending secret guards to serve him, thinking that everything that happened here would be recorded in detail by the secret guards, and then reported to his father for inspection.
For Sun Xiangfu, the more effort they exert to toss them, the more they can actually gain Li Shimin's favor, and what do they themselves show?
Sun Xiangfu immediately summed them up and said, "Not only are you ignorant and ununited, but even, after I have repeatedly told you that this trip is to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, you still dare to pick at will, in a sense, most of you, not only did not think about completing the tasks assigned by Your Majesty, but also made a practical move to resist the order, if you really want to let you go back to Chang'an, it is estimated that you will not suffer a meal of hunger, or suffer from a whip, so lose the face of the royal family, None of your lords want to be able to keep it. ”
When he said this, the princes began to be afraid, Li Shimin asked them to come to set an example for the peasants of the world, to lead everyone to learn farming techniques, and to promote the reform of the country's intensive agricultural cultivation, but they completely forgot about this political task.
Li Yuanjing, the reason why they were afraid of Li Shimin before was because Li Shimin didn't have much affection for their younger brothers, who seemed to be a little redundant, and besides, history is clear, most of these people are not good at stubble, and most of them were executed because they participated in the rebellion.
In Sun Xiangfu's view, it doesn't matter if they die themselves, the key is to bring the atmosphere of the entire Li Tang royal family to ruin.
There is no dynasty, the number of clan rebellions can be compared with Li Tang, this is a big hidden danger after Li Tang established the country, I don't know how many innocent lives, under the instigation of these restless people, were lost in vain.
Sun Xiangfu wants to try his best to eliminate these hidden dangers, he has to find a way to carry out some ideological education for these people who are closest to the emperor's throne, and want them to be obedient, become better, and scare them, it is necessary.
"Master Sun, we were wrong."
Li Tai was the first to come out and admit his mistake, he knew that if Sun Xiangfu was a person who wanted to see them out of trouble, he would not have pulled everyone back today and told them this again.
Regarding Li Tai's confession, Sun Xiangfu only nodded slightly, and said, "It's not enough for you to admit your mistakes alone, they are all members of the royal family, and even the core people with the prince, their every move can represent the royal family to a certain extent······"
"Master Sun, we were wrong."
At this time, Li Ke also took a step forward, and dragged out Li Ke, who was reluctant to come out.
Sun Xiangfu's words were interrupted by Li Ke, and he looked at him again and asked, "Have you thought about pulling King Laliang out, have you ever thought about pulling other people out?" ”
"I ······"
Li Ke was speechless, Sun Xiangfu looked at Li Taidao again, "This is where you are wrong, because you are the first to understand my intention to do this, but you have not shared the truth you have realized with others and let them make progress in cognition with you, what does this mean?"
This shows that your current mind is still relatively narrow-minded, even selfish, can a narrow-minded and selfish person accomplish great things?
No.
So, last night, you couldn't convince anyone else at all.
Did you know? The reason why your father can have today's achievements is because he is broad-minded and good at building buildings, so that more people are willing to believe in him, so as to be willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and make the whole country better and better, but you have not learned his greatest advantage.
Most of the time, the more you can think about others, the more you can be convinced by others, and with more people convincing you, you can do greater things, even the unity of a dozen people is not good, you are called Your Majesty, how can you believe that you are people who can do great things? ”
Sun Xiangfu said a few words about Li Tai and Li Ke's red faces, but it is true, they can obviously share what they think of with everyone, everyone works together, boils water and bathes, finds village children to learn to cook, and solves these small problems that are not very difficult.
However, at that time, they thought of showing their own superiority, or, watching other people's jokes.
They are all still half-old, and it is actually normal to have this kind of psychology of highlighting themselves and throwing performance, Sun Xiangfu knew about their situation last night, but he deliberately did not interrupt them, just to let them go through the whole process, and then reflect and understand some truths.
Now, in the eyes of those who have figured it out, this kind of psychology of performance is simply too naïve, if as a high-ranking person, there is such a problem that is close to great joy, then there will definitely be many problems in governing the country.
Of course, what Sun Xiangfu wants to educate in a few days is not mainly the two of them, after all, with their understanding, in fact, as long as they are a little older and more mature, they will definitely be able to understand these truths.
Therefore, he looked at Li Yuanjing again, Li Yuanchang and the others, "As for you, I can only say that I am ashamed of you." Among you, the youngest is also ten years old, and the eldest is almost fourteen years old, not to mention an adult, at least a big child! Could it be that in my heart, I only have my own happiness and enjoyment, and I don't have the slightest worry about you?
You are the prince, your majesty's brother, your majesty's son, your majesty's dearest person, and even you don't have the heart to share your majesty's worries, so who is willing to come and share your majesty's worries?
······”
In ideological and political classes, there will always be a long discussion of all kinds of truths, but if the truth is correct, someone will listen to it, the world has long been the same, Sun Xiangfu has said dry, and those who listen to it will take it seriously, and those who can't listen to it will only have a little guilt at most, and soon, they may forget it.
Seeing Li Tai and Li Ke, who were becoming more and more self-conscious, Sun Xiangfu felt that it was time for him to shut up, and said, "Do you know why Your Majesty gave me a leather whip that can whip you?"
Because, he may have expected today's situation, so, I really don't want to use that leather whip, after you go down, reflect on it! After the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture have organized the villagers, you will do whatever the villagers want to do, and I will never tell you the same truth as today, but will only use a leather whip to tell you what obedience is. ”
Sun Xiangfu finished his lecture, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, however, thinking of the matter of making dung in the afternoon, the princes were still unhappy for a while, however, even if they were unhappy, they didn't want their behavior of resisting the decree to reach Li Shimin, so they had to pinch their noses and endure it, no way, the smell of dung was not so good.
Generally speaking, the pace of life in the countryside is still slow, not long after the kings went down, a few little ones woke up after a nap, and Sun Jing, who got up more angry, began to cry again to ask for his mother, Sun Xiangfu had to hold him in his arms and coax him well, and finally, he had to pretend to hold him and set off back to Chang'an to find his mother, so as to appease him.
However, when he came to the yard and saw the dozens of tadpoles that Wu Meiniang caught from the river, the little guy immediately forgot about returning to Chang'an, Sun Xiangfu asked Zhang Ke to find a basin, put the tadpoles in the yard, and he had a lot of fun.
It's still a daughter, so she likes to stick to Sun Xiangfu, and after the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture gathered everyone together and went to get the manure tank, Sun Xiangfu told Hongmei and Chuntao to watch Sun Jing who was playing tadpoles in the yard, and he put his shoulder on the little girl Sun Wanting, and went out with Wu Meiniang to see the people working.
"Master in charge, Mei'er has already applied plant ash as fertilizer in the field when preparing the field according to the requirements in the booklet before, why do you still drain so much fertilizer?" Wu Meiniang, who watched from a distance the people pick up the dung from their own dung pit to the draining pond at the edge of the field, asked puzzledly.
"Because the demand for organic fertilizer in the paddy field is relatively large, even if there is a certain amount of grass and wood ash to lay the base, each acre, but also need about 300 catties of organic fertilizer, in order to effectively improve the aggregate structure of the soil, so that the amount of fertilizer in the field, to reach the best state, if just a simple use of livestock and poultry manure, may get thousands of catties."
"Thousands of pounds?"
"Yes, that's why I wrote to your father early in the morning, asking him to organize people to collect all the cow dung on the embankment and compost it, and it is definitely not enough to rely on the amount of manure stored in these people's own manure pits to compost. There is a big embankment not far ahead, so let's go to the embankment to have a look. ”
After a while, Sun Xiangfu rushed to the top of the embankment under Sun Wanting's applause and cheers, and the slopes on both sides of the wide embankment have long been overgrown with green grass, and it has become a best place to raise cattle and horses.
Looking at the fields below on the high embankment, the perspective is the best, looking at the villagers who are busy next to the rice fields below, Sun Xiangfu seems to have a feeling of returning to the afterlife, if such a field is opened up and one or two hundred are opened up, and intensive cultivation is taken care of, then, Datang will no longer have the worry of lack of food, however, when Sun Xiangfu turned around and looked at the other side of the embankment, his brows were furrowed.
The ecological environment of this era, I don't know how many times more than later generations, the river water in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is usually very clear, when the boat is sailing, you can use a bucket to hit the river water, you can directly wash and cook, however, today Sun Xiangfu saw that the river water has some signs of turbidity, and he still remembers that when he came yesterday, the approximate water level, just one day, actually rose a lot.
"Zhang Ke, quickly fly the pigeon to all the upstream states and counties, ask about the rain, and Shuzhong should also ask."
