Chapter 723: A dilemma
One thing can give rise to more things, which is the law of the development of all things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The origin of human civilization is actually very simple, probably a few primitive people who lived in caves, originally lived a happy life of drinking blood and eating raw meat, and then there was a small animal, I don't know what bad things were struck by lightning, just happened to be a passing thunder from the live raw meat split into five medium-cooked cooked meat with skin, primitive people hid in the cave to see this scene, so Ho ran out, broke off a leg and tasted it, and immediately shed tears of happiness, at that time they knew that cooked things were better than raw, so, And there was fire in the world.
From Ru Mao drinking blood to steak medium cooked, this is a big step forward in human civilization, since eating cooked meat, the waist does not hurt, the legs are not sore, a stick stuns the five primitive mothers-in-law, dragged into the cave room, no effort.
Later, after a strong primitive man accidentally found himself beating people with his fists, other primitive people were afraid of him, so human beings became afraid. The strong primitive people were very happy, and told them in babbling primitive language, "I am your leader from now on, you go hunting, roast it and give it to me to eat, and then mankind has power and class, and then finds that a certain crop is very delicious when cooked, so they try to plant it on their own initiative, and find that the mouth and tongue can make all kinds of sounds, and these sounds can express their emotions and wishes, so they have language, and it is not enough to have language, so they try to transform language into written expression, and engrave the meaning they want to express on stone tabletsAt first, simple and crude pictures were used, and gradually, the pictures evolved into words......
See, human civilization is developing and progressing step by step, and the cause of all this progress is to make one's life better, more convenient, and of higher quality, which is the driving force behind the development of all civilizations.
Li Su doesn't know whether his proposal to set up agronomy today is considered to be a contribution to human civilization, he just thinks that if someone thinks of some things, someone must do it, and the rise and fall of dynasties will be a game for the big guys, and the result of winning or losing may be very exciting for the big guys, but it is the people who suffer, so there is a saying in later generations, "Xing, the people suffer, and the people die, and the people suffer."
The source of "suffering", in the final analysis, is food, food has been affecting the process of civilization, sometimes it makes human civilization progress, sometimes it harms civilization regression, famine years, thousands of miles of starvation, people are displaced, easy children and eat, that scene is as miserable as Shura's hellish scenes, in fact, it is because of the word "food".
Li Su didn't feel that he had anything to do with the words "noble" and "great", and put forward the proposal to set up an agricultural school just because he didn't want to see the people of the Tang Dynasty starving for thousands of miles and eating the day, perhaps, he really fell in love with this era, and wanted to keep a few more years of simple and unpretentious time for this era, so that the lovely and simple people in this era could lie in the courtyard and bask in the sun leisurely like him, sleeping under the ginkgo tree in a daze, dreaming for a thousand years.
Li Su's suggestion made Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and others suddenly shine brightly.
This proposal...... It was very feasible, and from the ruler's point of view, the proposal would be beneficial to his rule, and all he had to pay was to gather officials, scholars, and experienced old peasants, and then allocate a little money from the treasury, build a few large houses, and enclose a wasteland, and that's it, but what about the benefits?
First of all, the seeds of all crops in the world have the hope of improving and increasing yields, the people can eat enough, and the treasury is rich in grain and grass, which is the basis for the stability of the world, and secondly, he did something that the emperor has never done since ancient times, which can be described as unprecedented.
The important thing is that he is doing it, and he does it.
What about failure? The courtiers and the people will not blame him, but will say before and after the people, Your Majesty has worked hard for the food and clothing of the people, and how much effort and energy has been invested in improving the grain varieties, Your Majesty really has a heart, he is a good emperor.
This comment is a heavy political bargaining chip for Li Shimin, and it is the supreme prestige that commands the world and the subjects are absolutely obedient.
Therefore, the establishment of the agricultural school is beneficial to Li Shimin, regardless of success or failure, and he has no reason to refuse.
In the hall, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned red, his breathing became more and more rapid, obviously his heart was not calm, and the three important ministers next to him were naturally old treacherous and slippery, Li Shimin thought of it, they also thought of it quickly, and then bowed to Li Shimin with a happy face.
This kind of work of the emperor and the prime minister is like this, the appearance is righteous and majestic, but in fact the heart is dark, always speculating on others with the worst malice, and no matter how righteous and bright the good deeds for the country and the people, after turning around from their minds, the process and purpose suddenly become very dirty.
"Agronomy and crops, this is ...... What do you think? Li Shimin controlled his emotions and asked the three of them calmly.
Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling exchanged glances, and then said with a smile: "I think the minister thinks ...... Feasible. ”
Fang Xuanling also smiled: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”
dragged Li Su who was drawing circles next to him, and the eldest grandson Wuji was full of affection, rubbing Li Su's head vigorously: "This child, I don't know what to think about the exquisite crystalline mind, and a casual sentence is a great merit that will benefit you for a long time, if those sons of my family are half as smart as you, the old man will smile even if he is dead now." ”
Li Su's head was moved around by the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was suddenly a little angry, shook his head vigorously, broke free from the harassment of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a forced smile: "The little nephew is lazy and has a good mouth, so all he thinks about on weekdays is how to make people eat well and eat well, and at the same time, he is not too tired, and many ideas are thought of by the little nephew lying in the yard basking in the sun." ”
Fang Xuanling smiled, pointed at him, and said: "Hanging the official position of Shangshu Provincial Affairs, I didn't come to answer the errand for three days, and I was lazy and stole a reason, and then you handed the fake note to the old man, if the old man didn't agree, would it delay you worrying about the country and the people?" ”
Li Su smiled dryly: "Don't make trouble, the official position and title of the little nephew have been removed by His Majesty......"
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth hooked imperceptibly, and then he showed anger, and snorted dissatisfiedly, obviously still angry at Li Sugan's bastard.
The monarchs and ministers discussed for a while, and unanimously felt that it was very necessary to establish an agricultural school, so Li Shimin expressed his position.
"Agronomy can be set up, I am determined to set aside ten hectares of fertile land outside Chang'an City, specializing in crop improvement, Honglu Temple convened envoys from various countries, ordered them to present their own crop seeds to Chang'an, the treasury allocated 20,000 yuan, the Ministry of Industry led the craftsman to build the agronomy house first, and then select officials, determine the official position, and most importantly, the Agronomy should not only call the experienced old farmers in the state capitals of the world, but also select a group of poor farmers every year to come in, and pass on the craftsmanship of farming from generation to generation. It is important to build the foundation of agriculture in the fastest possible time. ”
Fang Xuanling received the order awe-inspiringly.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "The establishment of agriculture is independent of the court, does not participate in the government affairs of the court, just like the Hongwen Pavilion, it is a place dedicated to the study of knowledge, the difference is that the Hongwen Pavilion governs the sages and sages, and the agriculture specializes in agriculture, the two coexist, Zehui Shizi Wanmin, very good!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji and the others were shocked when they heard this.
Li Shimin's juxtaposition of agronomy with Hongwenguan shows how much importance he attached to the establishment of agronomy, and the status of agronomy in the DPRK and China in the future can also be seen.
Although the Hongwen Pavilion is a place dedicated to learning, but the people who can go in to lecture and read are not ordinary, the teachers who teach the apprentices are all the members of the dynasty or above, and the people who come out of the Hongwen Pavilion are usually the official fortunes of the clouds, and the important tasks are entrusted by the ministry, and the Hongwen Pavilion set up by Wu Denian has unconsciously changed the taste in the Zhenguan period, and has become a place for the scholars from all walks of life to gild and study, and has become a straight ladder to the illustrious.
The establishment of agriculture, its original intention is also to specialize in research, but its status is juxtaposed with the Hongwen Museum, it can be seen how eye-catching the future will be, especially Li Shimin just said "children of poor farmers", it is even more meaningful, the Tang Dynasty from now on in addition to the scientific examination of scholars, the children of the poor family have one more way out, the establishment of agriculture for those millennium family valves, is a heavy blow, the court to take the cold and weaken the influence of the gate valve on the government, agriculture can also be juxtaposed with scientific research.
Killing three birds with one stone, it is really smart.
After the eldest grandson Wuji and others figured out the subtleties inside, they admired Li Shimin even more, and saluted with joy and sincerity.
Li Shimin half-closed his eyes, and while unconsciously knocking on the table with his fingers, he pondered.
“…… There can be one supervisor and two young supervisors in agriculture, and the candidates for this supervisor ......"
Saying that, Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Su, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked at him as if they had telepathy.
Li Su was shocked, he suddenly realized that he had done another stupid thing, a stupid thing that brought himself into the ditch, and this thing was so stupid that he was not wronged by slapping him eighteen times.
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Shimin had not yet opened the dragon's mouth, Li Su hurriedly preempted the first and said: "Your Majesty thinks twice, agriculture is a major event that is meritorious in the society and beneficial in the future,...... Is it really suitable? ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then showed a deeply approving expression, nodded and said: "The candidate for the supervisor will be discussed later, in short, ......"
Saying that, Li Shimin glanced at him with great disgust, and said: "In short, this person must not choose the kind of bastard who is greedy, lazy, loves to get into trouble, is full of intrigues and intrigues, and is greedy for money. ”
Li Su: "............"
Are you talking about me? No way? It should be talking about Cheng biting gold......
…………
…………
After finishing the business, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others retired.
Only Li Su and Li Shimin were left in the hall.
This time, the two did not fall silent, and Li Shimin's expression seemed to change slightly.
"Li Su, I roughly understand why you want to destroy the harmony, with this rice seed, the prince of Zhenla Kingdom has become very important, and I can't ignore his personal relationship with Princess Wencheng."
Li Su nodded and said: "Yes, if the Tang Dynasty wants to introduce the rice seeds of the Zhenla country, it is far from enough to rely on the private merchants and the people to communicate between the two countries, if you want to promote the rice seeds to the southern state capitals, this matter will not spare the Zhenla royal family in any case, without the nod of the royal family, it will be very difficult to promote the planting of Zhenla rice in the Tang Dynasty, after all, it is still the Zhenla people who are really familiar with it, and in the future, the source of rice seeds will be stable every year, and the experienced farmers of the two countries will be sent to communicate with each other, teach the knowledge of planting, etc., which is the deepest level of cooperation between the two countries." If Your Majesty ignores the feelings of the prince of Zhenla and insists on giving his sweetheart Princess Wencheng to Songtsan Gampo, I am afraid that the royal family of Zhenla will be dissatisfied with Your Majesty, and it will be difficult to introduce rice seeds. ”
Li Shimin sighed: "Yes, this matter is indeed very troublesome, if I had known that Zhenla had this treasure, I should have become two people in the first place, why is it in a dilemma now?" The will has been made, Tubo is a strong country, not to be insulted, the Tang Dynasty has a request for Zhenla, let alone offend, but Princess Wencheng has only one ...... It's hard to be sad! ”
Li Su stepped forward to come up with an idea: "Your Majesty might as well use the border of Tubo and Chen Bing as an excuse, reprimand Tubo for being disrespectful, having the intention of offending the border, and taking advantage of the situation to reject the peace between the two countries, and with all the face, no one can find fault with Your Majesty......"
Li Shimin sneered: "My will has been made, and I suddenly regret it, how can I have the face to govern the world?" What's more, people have already placed heavy troops on the border, if I regret it, those uncivilized barbarians have a tendon in their brains, and they are embarrassed and angry, and nine times out of ten they will really commit the border, and now the Datang treasury is empty, and the soldiers are tired, do you think we can still support a vicious war? ”
Li Su also sighed, this matter has reached this point, and it is indeed in a dilemma.
Neither can offend Tibet, nor can it offend Zhenla, the Songtsen Gampo of Tubo, the monkey of Zhenla...... Prince Shi Neyan, both of them want to marry Princess Wencheng, and whoever is allowed or not is bound to have one more enemy for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was so irritable that he couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Li Su fiercely when he thought of the culprit who caused this incident.
"What a problem you gave me! I'm angry when I think about it, I can't wait to chop you with a knife! Li Shimin said angrily.
Li Su cautiously pointed to the ears of rice on the table and said, "The minister also found a treasure for His Majesty......"
Li Shimin sighed heavily, speaking from his heart, Li Su really can't be blamed for this matter, although he is now in a dilemma, Li Su has provided an opportunity for Datang, an opportunity for a country to be rich and the people to be strong, and to be domineering in the four seas.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's anger disappeared a lot, and his tone was much calmer.
"You are a famous bastard in Chang'an City, and your stomach is full of bad water and bubbling, do you have an idea about this?"
Li Su suddenly wanted to be an assassin, so he picked up the twenty-pound copper incense burner in his hand and slammed it at Li Shimin's head, smashing him half of his body and inhumanely.
Bastards are bastards, and the "famous" bastards, the emperor has been in office for a long time, not only can't chat, but he can't even talk to people......
Chaotian rolled his eyes, and Li Su said stiffly: "The minister is stupid and has no idea." ”
Li Shimin was not disappointed, but nodded slowly: "Since you can't come up with an idea, what's the use of me keeping you?" Tomorrow, you will roll me to Qiannan, and live on the tree with the Qiannan monkeys to pick peaches and eat. ”
Li Su suddenly stirred his spirit, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister has a way!" ”
"Say."
“…… Haven't figured it out yet. ”
Seeing that Li Shimin showed signs of madness, Li Su hurriedly said: "Give the minister one night, there will be a good plan." ”
Li Shimin turned off the fire.
"Very good, I will leave this matter to you, if I am not satisfied, or cause the two countries to use swords, don't blame me for not sparing you, you can't even go to Qiannan at that time, wait to be beheaded."
Li Su smiled bitterly, why are so many people in the world so keen on power? That's the reason, what you can't do by yourself can be pushed to the people below to do it, and the people below don't do it well, it's very simple, chop it with a knife, and then change someone to continue to do it.
Glancing at Li Su lightly, Li Shimin said: "Tonight, you should honestly squat in Dali Temple." ”
Li Su was stunned.
Li Shimin snorted and said: "In the past few days that you have been imprisoned, Lu Dongzan, the great minister of Tibet, has jumped up and down like crazy, begging me to severely punish the culprit who destroyed the peace and affinity between the two countries and provoked the vicious fight between the envoys of the six countries, and this culprit is, of course, you." If I release you from Dali Temple, are you afraid that Lu Dongzan will find you desperate? ”
Li Su's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "The minister lives in Dali Temple, and the minister likes Dali Temple, where it is elegant and pleasant, and people forget to return......
********************************************************************
Li Su entered Dali Temple again.
This time he came in willingly, and it was Li Su who took the initiative to ask for it.
For the jailers of Dali Temple, today is obviously a day of ups and downs, just sent this plague god away in the morning, and came back a few hours later......
Do you really think of this as your second home?
Li Su swaggered into his own cell, the jailers were full of bitterness, gloomy expressions to serve him, dressed and ate, sweeping the floor and pouring water, the jailers did these jobs not only have to be nimble, but also with a smile, the smile is Li Su's request, according to Li Su, the jailers belong to the people's servants, are to serve the people, since it is a service, we must show an attitude of respecting the post and loving the industry, and serve everyone with a smile.
The jailers all had the idea of returning home, and thought fondly of their parents, who had never been so filial to their parents in their memory, but regarded a young bastard as an ancestor, and the waiter was so comfortable that he should have been struck a hundred times......
…………
When Li Su returned to Dali Temple to continue to be the uncle, something big happened in Chang'an City.
Li Ji acted.
Li Ji didn't know what Li Su said between the monarchs and ministers after he was summoned into the Taiji Palace, he only knew that Li Su was imprisoned in Dali Temple after coming out of the palace, which is obviously not good news, Li Ji discussed with the guests in the house for a long time, and everyone came to a conclusion, I am afraid that Li Shimin is still angry, otherwise Li Su will not still be in prison after leaving the palace, according to this judgment, Li Su will probably still be exiled to Qiannan.
Li Ji was anxious.
The next day, headed by Li Ji, including Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Duan Zhixuan and other military generals, and even a few civil servants such as Xiao Yu and Tang Jian, who had never had any relationship with Li Su, jointly signed a letter to ask for forgiveness for Li Su's crimes.
