Chapter 104: Chang'an Guest Comes

It is said that at this time in Chang'an, the capital city, the Taiji Hall was noisy, the ministers were talking, the ministers were discussing in a whisper, and the generals were shouting loudly.

"Quiet, this time Jieli Khan has gathered heavy troops to attack my Tang border, Zhang Jin, I will make you the head of the march, and be fully responsible for the three armies of the right guard, Wen Yanbo, I will make you the long history, assist Zhang Jin to go to Lingzhou, and garrison the city to resist the Jieli Khan's invasion of my Tang Frontier." The current emperor Li Yuan stopped the noise in the hall and began to give orders, preparing to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty by foreign enemies.

"Shengshang, please go on the horse and lead the army to resist the enemy, Jieli Khan attacks my Tang border, we are also the people of the Tang Dynasty, the minister please order the army to lead the army and fight with Jieli Khan, and let Jieli Khan have no return." Li Shimin walked out and bowed to Li Yuan.

"I have made up my mind about this matter, and Erlang doesn't want to say anything more." Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and couldn't bear it.

Li Shimin still wanted to play, but seeing his father staring at him, he had to retreat to his original position, and Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stared at Li Shimin from time to time, not because he cherished his second son Li Shimin, but because the form of the court made him jealous.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin did not stay in the Taiji Palace, but left quickly and returned to the palace of the King of Qin.

After returning to the Qin Wang's Mansion, many generals from the Tiance Mansion came to the palace, all gathered in the hall of the Qin Palace, either sitting or standing, all waiting for the Qin King to speak.

"Your Highness, shall I wait for this? Why didn't the Holy One send me to meet the Khan for a while? I'm really. Cheng Yanjin, who couldn't stand it the most, was the first to speak.

"Yes, Your Highness, how can that Zhang Jin compare to us and others, go into battle to kill the enemy, how can he beat Jieli Khan's horseman? Your Highness, we also ask for the order to be sent to the Holy One. Wei Chi Jingde was angry in his heart, and he also asked for orders to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Know, respect, no, now the Holy Lord has ordered Zhang Jin to lead the three armies of the right guard, I will ask for my life again, there is a holy order, and His Royal Highness will also be punished when the time comes." Li Tao hurriedly dissuaded the two.

"Now my father is wary of the generals of my Tiance Mansion, and all the generals have also been divided, Zhang Jin led the three armies of the right guard, this is because my father does not want my Tiance Fu to participate in the war, Jingde, you can go home and rest with peace of mind, Zhijie is too, don't make trouble, everyone is in peace." Li Shimin's current situation is so helpless.

Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion established single-handedly, will be, but there are no soldiers to lead, this is his father's joint hand with the current prince Li Jiancheng to suppress himself, the civil official group is from time to time to make suggestions, his Tiance Mansion in addition to the generals, but there are few soldiers, except for some personal soldiers and guards, where are there soldiers available, Li Shimin is also helpless in his heart, but what can this be?

After a month, the Turkic Jieli Khan raided Lingzhou and Shuozhou in the Tang Dynasty, and fought with Lin Xu, the governor of Daizhou, in Xincheng, and Lin Xu, the governor of Daizhou, was defeated.

Li Yuan sent troops again, but he had to agree to Li Shimin's request for orders and sent Li Shimin to garrison Puzhou, which is now Yongji, so that Li Shimin could block the Turkic Jieli Khan.

In the next month, before Zhang Jin arrived at the station, the Turkic troops had already crossed the stone ridge, surrounded and annexed the state, attacked Lingzhou, and turned to invade Lu and Qin two states. Li Jing led his troops out of Luzhou Road, the head of the march Ren Gui stationed in Taihang, Zhang Jin was defeated in Dagu, Wen Yanbo, the Chinese scholar, fell into the hands of the Turks, and Zhang Dezheng, the governor of Yunzhou, was killed in battle.

Li Yuan in the Taiji Palace was furious, hated Jieli Khan, but he was helpless, the speed of the Turkic soldiers and horses was faster than that of the Tang army, and before the Tang army reached the battlefield, the Turks retreated, which is much higher than the Tang Dynasty.

In August, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an to report on his work, and after returning to the palace of the King of Qin, he had a secret conversation with the Princess of Qin in the inner courtyard, and no one knew what he said, and only the Princess of Qin knew about it.

One early morning a few days later, a number of carriages in the palace of the king of Qin drove out of the palace of the king of Qin, and more than 100 guards escorted the carriage to the south of Chang'an City to the Mingde Gate, and no one knew where these carriages went.

Back to Fangjia Village, Fang Jing's family was helping to harvest rice in the rice field, but there were many people, large and small, although there were only five or six people who could work, but the little children couldn't do much work, at most they picked up the rice ears on the ground, and even Xiong Er didn't care.

"Brother, look, Xiong Er eats locusts." Fang Yuan pointed and sat on the ground, holding two big locusts in his front paws and eating happily.

"Little sister, Xiong Er is a bear, it's normal to eat locusts, it also wants to eat meat, locusts are also insects, although there is not much meat, but it can also be eaten." Fang Jing glanced at Xiong Er and comforted Fang Yuan.

"Brother, but Xiong Er has been eating, what if he eats his stomach." Fang Yuan was still worried about Xiong Er, and wanted to snatch the locusts in Xiong's second-hand, but he couldn't.

"Little sister, don't worry, Xiong Er eats locusts, it's fine, don't worry, you guys can play, don't disturb us to harvest rice." Fang Jing was a little speechless, harvesting rice is important, and this year I am counting on these rice to harvest more grain.

Fangjia Village is basically harvesting rice in the whole village, and the cut rice will be put in the field to dry for a day or two, and then each family carries a large bamboo bucket on their backs, and then takes the rice straw to beat and thresh, which is also a more traditional way at present, but the north is directly on the ground after harvesting the wheat, and then using a large stone to crush and thresh.

The whole Fangjia village collective was busy for more than half a month to finish the rice harvest, and then the rice threshing and returning to the warehouse, this year's harvest is double compared with last year, this is still Fang Jing taught the villagers planting methods, fattening and weeding plus paddy field management, otherwise the yield per mu in the past was less than 80 catties, it is estimated that after paying taxes, you have to eat soil again.

This year, everyone in Fangjia Village has a smile on their faces, the harvest per mu is one hundred and fifty or sixty catties, after the rice is harvested, it is basically enough for the family to eat, and there is still a lot left in the province, the whole village is grateful to Fang Jing, such a fattening paddy field management, so that the yield increases, even if the disaster year can resist the past.

"Jing Wazi, this year, every household has finished harvesting the grain, and the grain is almost piled up in the house, this is what you brought to the village, the whole village hopes to sacrifice the second ancestor, and you will lead everyone to sacrifice incense." The village was sitting under the orange tree in the courtyard of Fang Jing's house with a big smiling face, and said to Fang Jing, and a group of village elders were sitting around it.

"Elders, this is not good, how old am I, I can worship my ancestors, but it is still up to the village to sacrifice incense, this year, the food of every family has increased, and I don't have to worry about running out of food next year, this is a good thing, worship the ancestors to tell the ancestors that it should be, I didn't do anything, just tell everyone some simple things, but I don't dare to take credit, besides, what kind of generation am I, there are a lot of people who are higher than me, but I can't do it." Fang Jing didn't want to be a leader, she was such a lazy person, she didn't want to add any burden or things to herself.

"That's okay, Jing Wazi, worship the ancestors in a few days, and comfort the ancestors, so that they also know that our Fangjia Village will say goodbye to the days of starvation from now on, hahaha." As he spoke, the village laughed, and the other elders also laughed.

A few days later, Cun Zheng led the whole village into the ancestral hall to worship, the whole village came and the whole village came, men and women could enter the ancestral hall, this is also after Fang Jing talked a lot with Mura Zheng and the elders, so that this mouth was let go, all with the blood of the Fang family, why not.

After harvesting the rice, the whole village began to plant soybeans again, and now it is only the end of July, and a batch of soybeans should be planted, which is also something that Fang Jing thinks is feasible, so he mobilized the whole village to plant soybeans, and the soybean seedlings have broken the ground and sprouted half a month ago, which is different from the current sprinkling beans and planting beans, Fang Jing's method is to transplant soybeans, which can also save more time, and before the snow in winter, a batch of soybeans can also be harvested, which is also a great thing for Fangjia Village.

The whole village of Fangjia Village is busy again, for Fang Jing's words, they will basically agree to do it, just compare the doubling of grain production, who in the whole village is not convinced, plus the cattle of each family, clothes, and last year's grain, who will oppose Fang Jing.

At this time, seven or eight carriages and more than 100 people drove out of the mountains and forests not far away, and walked into the only small road in Fangjia Village.

"This big brother, may I ask if this is Fangjia Village?" A guard-looking man asked the villagers of Fangjia Village, who were planting soybeans, but at first he noticed that the right arm of the person he was questioning was empty.

"Oh, this is Fangjia Village, dare to ask if you have something to do with our Fangjia Village?" Fang Shanping looked at the guard, and then at the large group of people and carriages.

"This eldest brother, we are from Chang'an, and we have come to Fangjia Village to find Mr. Fang Jingfang." The guards told Fang Shanping who they were looking for in Fangjia Village this time.

"Oh, you're looking for Jing Wazi, then I'll ask my little baby to lead you there, Yu'er, you lead them to find your Brother Jing." Fang Shanping called his son Fang Yu and pointed at the group of people and said.

"Daddy, I know." Fang Yu put down the work in his hand and led a large group of people towards Fangjia Village, when passing by the big banyan tree, Fang Yu also raised his head to look at the bird's nest on the tree, thinking about something.

Coming to the gate of Fang Jing's courtyard, Fang Yu shouted inside, Zhang Xiaoxia walked into the courtyard after hearing the shout, looked at the large group of people outside the courtyard, and was a little overwhelmed in her heart, and hurriedly asked what she was doing, and learned that she was looking for Fang Jing, so she called Daying to go to the field and call Fang Jing back.

Fang Jingzheng and Chen Erlin, the three of them were planting bean seedlings, and when they saw Daying trotting over and saying that someone was looking for them, they got up and walked home.

"Yo, Li Shan, why are you, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Fang Jing returned to the courtyard and saw a large group of people standing outside the courtyard, and the carriages were all occupied along the path.

"Sir, I am escorting the princess and the county lord over this time, and they are still in the car." Li Shan hurriedly explained his trip to Fangjia Village to Fang Jing.

"Daying, get some preserved fruit for Fang Yu to eat, Fang Yu, give some to the younger siblings to eat later." Fang Jing looked at Fang Yu, who was still waiting in the courtyard, and knew that he had brought someone over, and asked Daying to get some food for him to bring.

Daying filled a bamboo bucket with a small bamboo bucket and handed it to Fang Yu, Fang Yu thanked him and left, running in the direction of his own field.
