Chapter 175: Your Majesty Arrives
It's dusk again,
On the Shuofang Road in autumn, the fragrance of rice is strong.
In the tea pavilion, under the shade of the trees, pedestrians rest, groups of three or five, looking at the side of Shuofang City, the smoke rises everywhere, lined with the residual fog in the sky, looking at it like a picture!
On the road in the distance, a series of pleasant hoofs suddenly sounded!
People couldn't help but look sideways, only to see more than 50 horses galloping!
The horses are already dazzling, and the people on the horses are even more energetic.
On the first horse, the gun also seemed to be sitting straight on a pale yellow light fur, with a high spirit, and a long knife hanging from his waist!
The middle-aged man's appearance is almost evil, and what is particularly impressive is that the eyes, bright and clear, flashing with dazzling luster, like lightning, a long black and shiny hair, with a gauze crown, and the rest of the hair draped over the shoulders, with the ability and bearing of Ruoyuan Yue Zhi, but it makes people feel convinced.
His eyes were looking forward to himself, and his waist knife frequently struck the saddle, but his mighty body sat upright on the saddle, but the silk lines did not move, and it was obvious that his riding skills must be amazing.
After that, there were also two BMWs, one gray and one black, and immediately the two were also dressed in gray and black, one handsome and one ugly. The former is outstanding and dignified; The latter is fierce and burly, and he is like a lion.
Then there are more than 50 athletes!
Many people did not dare to look at their faces, because their eyes were too sharp and amazing, but even if they glanced at them in a hurry, the fierce anger was enough to be intimidating!
The bell swayed, and the horses galloped away.
But people still stared blankly at the figure of this group of people in the distance.
"Such a majestic character; is a brilliant warrior, comparable to the Mo Sword Army under the command of the Governor. ”
"Humph! Fart. ”
"What's wrong? Zhao Lao Er, are you jealous of others? ”
"Hmph, what is there to be jealous of my second Zhao. In the words of the governor, the Modao Army is the blade of the country to protect the family and defend the country, and I am not happy with this kind of private army and the Modao Army, what qualifications do they have to compare with the Modao Army, even the ordinary soldiers who defend the city can't compare. ”
In the Tang Dynasty, martial arts became a trend, and the status of literati was slightly inferior to that of military generals, and literati who threw their pens from Rong abounded. The people have great respect for the soldiers who defend their homes and the country! In particular, the people on the border love the army more than in the mainland.
Only then did people understand what Zhao Lao Er meant, and they applauded.
But immediately the people did not realize it at all, and took charge of themselves and went into the city.
Entering the city, the heroic middle-aged man who took the lead looked at the sky, touched the stomach of protest, and searched around.
There happened to be a large restaurant next to him, and the smell of wine and meat came from the restaurant, and the sound of the chef's knife and the sound of running the hall was loud.
The restaurant is brand new, the signboard is also new, the name is actually "Soldier's Home", and the words "No. 10 Shop" are engraved below, the middle-aged man carefully looked at the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and his face showed a curious smile.
"Hello officer, welcome to our store!"
When he came to the door of the shop, a young man in his forties who was missing his right arm walked up enthusiastically, and he seemed that there were many customers, so he called a group of men and asked them to lead the horses to the stables.
Entering the store, the business of the store is quite prosperous, and it is divided into four floors. The first floor is the habitat of the peddlers' pawns and foot merchants, the second floor is the place where the martial arts school meets, the third floor is the meeting place of scribes and scholars, and the fourth floor is the private room.
Seeing the momentum and attire of the middle-aged man and his party, the shopkeeper planned to welcome him to the second floor.
The middle-aged man shook his head and refused, a group of people occupied six tables in a corner, the guards sat five, and he sat at a table with Yijun and Yiwu.
Although the second and third floors are clean, they are not to his liking.
On the first floor, you can hear about the world's major events from the mouths of all kinds of people, strange things from all over the world, and it has a taste for middle-aged people.
"Sir, what do you want? It's all there. The one-armed shopkeeper asked politely, and handed over a wooden board engraved with the name and price of the food.
The middle-aged man looked at the wooden board with a clear price, felt very novel, glanced at the menu, ordered ten dishes, and then said: "One for each table, and then six catties for our table, well, by the way, arrange our accommodation, three of us, one for one person, and one for two of my guards." ”
"Sir! Your squire can live in a house for four! ”
The middle-aged man glanced at the handsome attendant in surprise, and then smiled: "Won't the four of them be crowded?" ”
"Don't worry, sir, our room has two beds, and each bed is two bunks."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "We are new to your realm, so let's follow the local customs, according to the arrangement of the eldest brother." "He skillfully stuffed the guy for a few small bucks.
The guy shook his head and said, "The old man has a good intention, but we can't do it." He smiled and went with the menu.
Wei Mengxiong Hanqi said: "The guys here don't want money!" Also offered to suggest that we save money, weird thing! ”
"That kid is in Shuofang, where he is, everything is normal." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Shubao, Zhijie, have you found it, the guys here are all disabled soldiers." ”
The middle-aged man is none other than Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin is self-controlled by Mingjun, living in the palace on weekdays, putting his mind on handling government affairs, it is rare that there is no major event recently, thinking that there are Li Jing in military affairs, and Fang Du and others in government affairs, so he called Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, and came to Shuofang with fifty Xuanjia soldiers.
He didn't know what Luo Tong had tossed Sanzhou into, after leaving Chang'an, he passed through Fangzhou and Yanzhou into Yanzhou, from Yanzhou to Suizhou, and then to Xiazhou Shuofang.
After inspecting the circle, I found that Luo Tong had actually played the government affairs of the three states around, and the officials here were clean and clear, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, showing a thriving atmosphere of hope, which made Li Shimin very happy and satisfied.
When I entered Shuofang City, it was getting late.
Li Shimin didn't plan to go to the Governor's Mansion to find someone, and planned to stay at the inn for one night, and then take a look at the situation in Luotong's base camp tomorrow.
He recognized the peculiar names of "Soldier's Home" and "No. 10 Shop" from Luo Tong's handwriting, and he dined here out of curiosity.
As soon as he entered the door, he found that the guys here were all imposing young men, all of them were disabled, his eyes were old and spicy, and he immediately understood the meaning of "military home".
"Military Affairs" is the placement of disabled military families.
Qin Qiong said: "I also found out, I think Qingxiao's move is better than the imperial court's method." ”
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Uncle Bao is right. The imperial court's placement of disabled soldiers is often only a mere pension, without taking into account what happens after the pension is used up. It's okay to be a one-armed guy like this, he can barely fend for himself, but what about those who have broken their hands or legs? How can they live without pensions? I can imagine that their evening was extremely bleak and fierce, and they would even commit suicide with hatred for the court. ”
"From ancient times to the present, no one has considered this problem, Qingxiao came up with such a method of placing disabled soldiers one step ahead of others, which is a great initiative, and when we meet, let him take out the whole process, and then promote it widely! What do you guys think? ”
Qin Qiong said: "Such a good deed, the ministers naturally fully support it!" ”
Cheng Yanjin didn't have the hippie smiling face of the past, and his tiger eyes flashed with wisdom: "In fact, the Datang Library can accommodate many disabled soldiers." The soldiers are strict in military discipline and have a strong sense of responsibility, and although they are disabled, although they have difficulty moving, they cherish the affairs in their hands more than ordinary people. ”
It is very appropriate to describe Cheng Biting Jin with great wisdom and foolishness, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
He understands and understands all the big and small truths, but he just looks like he doesn't know anything, and his life is extremely nourishing. Especially in the eyes of people, it is particularly accurate, and it can be mixed very well no matter who is under it. In his early years, due to the swarm of thieves, he organized an armed force of hundreds of people to protect the village. But when he found out that Li Mi intended to plot against his village, he decisively surrendered to Li Mi to ensure the safety of the township, and was reused by Li Mi, and became one of the hussars of the inner army. Later, Li Mi lost to Wang Shichong, and Cheng Biting Jin was reused by Wang Shichong. It's just that he saw at a glance that Wang Shichong was useless, and instigated his good brothers Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to defect to Li Tang.
met the real Ming lord Li Shimin in Li Tang, and Cheng Yanjin also recognized him and did it with all his heart. For the sake of Li Shimin, he even did not hesitate to risk the great inaction of resisting and disobeying the order, but also to protect his safety.
said that Cheng bit Jin Yuzhong, it is better to say that he has a vicious vision, and he sees that Li Shimin is a person who has achieved great things, and he is worth following for a lifetime. In fact, Cheng Jin's ability to bite Jin may not be as good as many people, but among the few people who are most worthy of his trust in Li Shimin's heart, there must be Lao Cheng's name.
Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang are the same virtue as his Lao Tzu. Maybe it's a little inferior, but it's the difference between a big fox and a small fox, both of which belong to foxes.
Qin Qiong's martial arts are strong, but when it comes to his heart, even Cheng Biting Jin's heels are not as good, when Qin Qiong is still following Li Shimin's train of thought, Cheng Biting Jin has already thought of a way to place disabled soldiers.
Fifteen Tang libraries have been built in Chang'an City, and hundreds of thousands of people read books every day, so the imperial court has arranged no less than 100 people in each library. And Li Shimin plans to build hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of libraries in Datang, if Li Shimin's grand goal is realized, the staff of the library will need more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, that is to say, the library alone can accommodate all the disabled soldiers in Datang, and it is far from enough.
Li Shimin's expression changed rapidly, but a pair of eyes gradually brightened, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Now Chang'an has fifteen, sixteenth, seventeenth...... Twenty libraries are also being planned, and Luoyang already has five, Qizhou, Jingzhou, Pizhou, Ningzhou, Fangzhou, Tongzhou, Huazhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Suizhou, Xiazhou and other 21 prefectures also have one each, there are currently 41, according to a hundred people, can accommodate more than 4,000 people, all localities are also in intensive preparation, when the time comes, except for some incompetent positions, all by the disabled soldiers. This can not only give the soldiers a stable source to spend the rest of their lives, but also release more sibling labor, which is really a beautiful thing to kill two birds with one stone. Zhijie, okay! In this way, you have solved all the problems of the placement of disabled soldiers at once. ”
Cheng Yanjin said with a somewhat "honest" smile: "I also thought of it from that strange boy, coincidence, coincidence!" ”
