Chapter 110: Compendium of the Four Hours
The queen mother's maid got married, according to the princess's specifications, which is unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty.
On the one hand, Empress Dowager He favored this maid, mainly because the royal family wanted to win over the courtiers.
Empress Dowager He knew that although the emperor had captured Zhu Wen now, he did not immediately execute him, nor did he even convict Zhu Wen.
There are many reasons for this, first of all, the imperial court now controls a very small area, only a few states around Luoyang. Ge Congzhou, Ding Hui, and Guo Nianda all had limited troops, and Zhu Wensa still had more than 100,000 troops to defend the surrounding feudal towns.
Although Zhu Wen's sons who are inferior to pigs and dogs do not dare to act rashly for the time being, once they unite, the capital is still in danger.
After all, Empress Dowager He is just a woman, and that's all she can do. Giving favors to the generals won people's hearts, otherwise she would never agree to marry Pan Da stunned.
Pan Da was stunned, he was a rough man, to be exact, he had never been moved by women. It's not that he hasn't thought about women, the goddess in his heart is the kind of woman who is five big and three thick, with big breasts and big buttocks.
For those women who support the wind and weak willows, and can be blown down by gusts of wind, Pan Da has always scoffed. His idea is that men should marry women who can carry water and chop firewood, and only sissies should marry those with thin waists and high legs.
But love is a thing you can't choose, and he completely changed his aesthetic when he saw Ah Qian for the first time. Ah Qian is the kind of woman with a petite body and a thin waist and tender skin.
It's the type I hated the most before, but when I saw her for the first time, I looked at mung beans and looked at her.
Now he knows how distorted his aesthetics were before, white skin, beautiful appearance, thin waist and high legs, that is called a woman. I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and God has finally treated me well.
No, the thief is a fart. Is the Son of Heaven treating himself well, and without the Son of Heaven pleading with the Queen Mother, I, Pan Da, will take this shit luck? That's right, when today's Zi Houen and I Pan Da were stunned, I had to repay with this life.
Pan Da was named the commander of the Shence Army, in fact, it is just like what the Huoyun Evil God in Kung Fu said: It's just a false name.
The Shence Army was the main force of the Central Northern Ya Forbidden Army in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and was originally the border army in the northwest. Later, he entered the Jingshi and became the most important forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for defending the Jingshi and the palace of the Suwei and carrying out expeditions, which was the main armed force directly controlled by the Tang Dynasty and the most important military pillar for the Tang Dynasty to maintain its rule. From the thirteenth year of Tianbao Geshuhan to the establishment of Mohuanchuan in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, to the official abolition of Tianfu three years, a total of 149 years of history has been experienced.
The current Shence Army is long gone, and Pan Da was stunned that this title was just good.
Today is his big day, and the officials above the third rank in the DPRK and the Central Committee have basically come, which he did not expect.
"Congratulations to General Pan, congratulations to General Pan!"
"Congratulations!"
The ministers were all of the same mind as the Empress Dowager He, and the court finally got rid of the control of the vassal king. What is most needed at the moment is that these soldiers can protect the safety of the capital, and after the Zhu Wen period, these officials deeply understand a truth. They and the emperor are both prosperous and loss-making. The imperial power has declined, and these courtiers are not even as good as a dog in front of the vassal king.
Now the commander of the Shence Army has made Pan Da stunned for a big wedding, and the ministers have come to say goodbye, and for a time Pan's mansion is full of lights and lively.
Officials are now raising their eyebrows, and many of their colleagues may not have been in touch with each other for a long time, so they are taking the opportunity to catch up with each other.
Pan Da was stunned but thought in his heart, this queen mother has a lot of face. When will these officials be able to afford to look down on me, Pan Da was stunned, and they didn't come for the face of the Queen Mother.
The Tang Dynasty wedding was not very different from the later generations, and the bride was supported by two palace maids into the Panfu cave room. There were too many guests, and the hall and courtyard were full of tables. As soon as the banquet was set up, the ministers greeted each other warmly.
"The decree has arrived!"
On the day of the big day, how could there be no congratulations from Li Ji, Pan Da and the bride hurriedly came out to kneel to welcome the order, and the ministers fell to the ground.
The decree is promising: "Under the door, the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty." The commander of the Shence Army made Pan Da stunned, loyal and brave, brave and loyal, and sealed the salt and iron degree system. The newlywed lady is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, and canonized as a lady of the three grades. I hope you will fulfill your duties and be loyal to the country. Report to the country, and do not fail to live up to the grace of God. The notice is towards the door, and Xianshi is informed. ”
Pan Da was stunned and was even more joyful, the Son of Heaven treats himself very well, and the salt and iron degree are controlled, which is a fat shortage. That's not all, his wife was also named a third-grade lady.
The edict is a special document given by the emperor to officials. In ancient times, the officials of the first to fifth grades were called edicts, and the sixth to ninth grades were called edicts. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, a very complete system of edicts was formed, and officials from one to five grades were awarded the edict, and six to nine grades were awarded the edicts, and the lady was from the husband's grade, so there was a saying of "the lady of the edict". Mrs. Decree is related to her husband's official position. There is a fortune, but there is no real power.
In ancient times, there was a lady with a fate, and a second-grade fate, but in fact, there was no third-grade fate, and the third-grade could only be regarded as a lady.
Youwei put away the edict: "General Pan, Your Majesty has a decree, and he will be summoned to the palace in three days, and Keri will take office."
Pan Da was stunned to take the edict with both hands, and respectfully held it high above the top: "The minister obeys the decree."
……
Hell, the palace cellar was originally used to store vegetables. Now it was stuffed with all kinds of unknown tuber-like objects, no one had ever seen sweet potatoes and potatoes, they only knew that a cart would be pulled from the Ming'an Temple every day.
After a long time, Fuquan was very dissatisfied with this work. These 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes are tiring to death, and he has been transporting them for a month.
Li Ji was very cautious in dealing with Zhu Wen, his bastard sons Zhu Youqi, Zhu Youwen and others did not move for the time being, and he did not dare to kill him immediately so as not to anger the other party.
It's not that Li Ji is afraid of them, he doesn't have more energy to start a war now. First he had to solve the problem of money and food, and then recruit the forbidden army. In fact, fighting a war is to burn money, and only when there is money and food can the war be won.
Li Ji is reading the "Four Seasons Compendium", which is divided into four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the spring chapter is divided into two records, including the agricultural technology, taboos, and livestock breeding methods required for the 24 solar terms.
The planting techniques of grain crops, vegetables, fruit trees, and oil crops are described in detail, and there are even records of tea and hemp, millet intercropping, and artificially cultivated edible fungi and cotton planting.
Li Ji couldn't help but secretly marvel at the fact that the ancients studied agriculture so meticulously. Although the content of this book is detailed, it is a pity that a large part of it is superstitious things such as divination, auspiciousness, and mosaic.
It's no wonder that this book was written by a guy named Han E in the alchemy room. Qing Xuzi recommended it to Li Ji, at first Li Ji didn't care too much, what else could those warlocks in the alchemy room do except cheat and cheat.
But when he saw this book, he was completely shocked. This book focuses on agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline products, and fishery, and shows the traditional characteristics of diversified operations focusing on grain and vegetable production. In terms of agricultural production technology, fruit tree grafting, grafting of large gourds, mixed cultivation of alfalfa and wheat, interplanting of tea seedlings and flax and millet seeds, planting ginger, planting green onions, and veterinary prescriptions.
There are even records of planting cotton, tea trees, potatoes, mushrooms, and beekeeping. The processing and manufacturing of agricultural and sideline products are rich and diverse, especially in the brewing of many innovations. For example, it is introduced that the use of wheat bran to make "bran" is inexpensive and can save food. To make the sauce, break through the previous method of making wheat koji first, and then mixing the beans with the koji, the wheat beans are combined together to make a dry sauce paste, and the two procedures are one. The juice of salted tempeh was also boiled for sterilization and then stored as a condiment, which was the forerunner of soy sauce production. The brewing of medicinal wine, fruit wine, and flushed water to eat "dry wine" has many varieties and characteristics.
The extraction of various plant starches has expanded from cereals to lotus root, lotus, yon, water chestnut, diosces, kudzu, lily, poria cocos, zexiao, tribulus terrestris, etc.; From fruits, bulbs, bulbs, roots, rhizomes to sclerotia, everything is used.
In terms of medicine and health, the most prominent is the cultivation technology of many kinds of medicinal plants, which has become the earliest record of the existing agricultural books, and the "Qi Min Yao Shu" is lacking in this regard.
Li Ji was overjoyed, this is simply a great encyclopedia of agriculture.
