Chapter 14 Li Sheng was robbed

After Li Sheng left Cheng's mansion, he kept thinking about what Cheng Yanjin said, although Li Sheng could vaguely guess what was going to happen, and it had something to do with the movable type printing press he built. But he couldn't figure out what kind of turmoil Li Shimin wanted to set off with a movable type printing press. Li Sheng can't think about it and doesn't want to, Li Sheng understands the big man's affairs, he is a little bug or hiding far away. Li Sheng is going to go back this time, he won't come to Chang'an anymore, now that he has money in his hand, go home and build a house, find a widow or marry a concubine for his father, and then get a younger brother or sister for himself, Li Sheng is also a relative.

Spring is bright and shining, and the smell of spring is everywhere. The fields on both sides of the official road are full of farmers picking wild vegetables, and a few children are also following the adults, running around with baskets on their backs. When Li Sheng saw such a beautiful picture, the unhappiness brought from Chang'an disappeared in an instant.

Li Sheng dismounted and walked, walked to an old man, and saluted: "Elder, the boy is polite." ”

The old man had already seen Li Sheng coming, and thought it was a rich kid in the city, so he didn't care. The old man didn't expect Li Sheng to salute him, but the old man hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Noble, it's very polite." ”

"No more courtesy, no more courtesy. Respecting the old and loving the young is what my generation should do. In front of the elders, it is appropriate for the boy to salute. Li Sheng's humility and courtesy made the old man feel very comfortable. The speech was also affinity.

Looking at Xiao Langjun's dress from a distance, Xiao Lao'er can see at a glance that Xiao Langjun must be the son of a big family. Xiao Lao'er originally thought that Xiao Langjun was the same as those gentlemen in Chang'an, but Xiao Lao'er didn't expect that Xiao Langjun was so knowledgeable, but Xiao Lao'er was gone. The old man said with a smile.

Li Sheng couldn't be more polite, and if he continued to be so polite, the two of them couldn't finish talking about getting dark. So Li Sheng said: "The kid has also read some books and learned some etiquette, so naturally he won't be like them." It's just that the kid sees many people digging wild vegetables again, isn't there enough food? ”

"Whoever has too much grain will wither when the wild herbs grow in the ground. It's better to dig it up and eat it at home, so that there will be some food left? Xiao Langjun is not a Zhuang family, so he doesn't know that these should be. The old man saw that Li Sheng was very polite, so he got up casually and sat down on the stone by the roadside.

Li Sheng was not polite, took off a wine bag from the horse's back, and some jerky and cooked beef, sat down next to the old man, handed it to the old man for him to eat, and the old man refused several times. Stubborn, but Li Sheng still took it. Li Sheng took advantage of the old man's acceptance of the wine and meat, and said: "The reason why the kid stopped was to ask the old man, why can't I plant two crops in Guanzhong?" Why not plant winter wheat after the autumn harvest and beans and millet after the summer harvest? ”

"Xiao Langjun, do you know, the fertile land has been exhausted once a year, if it is harvested twice a year, how will this land be planted in the next year? Even if there is no soil to plant, it will not be able to grow crops. ”

Li Sheng finally understood the reason why ancient farming could not be more than a year. Or the problem of fertilizer. Unlike later generations, there were various chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and compound fertilizers, and now the Tang Dynasty only has organic fertilizers, or organic fertilizers that are accumulated and fermented by human and livestock manure. Today, the population of the Tang Dynasty is only about 10 million, and the development of livestock and animal husbandry is also very low, and it will take many years to change the farming system in Guanzhong and even the whole country. However, Li Sheng wants to change the farming system of Lijia Village, and he is still capable.

After figuring out the matter, Li Sheng didn't want to stay any longer. It has been more than two months since he came to Datang, and Li Sheng has not done anything about agriculture except for building a quyuan plow and a columb. This made Li Sheng feel that he was a little out of business. At this time, Li Sheng had already decided that he would never make anything that had nothing to do with agriculture again. The risk is too great, and this time he can't get out.

Li Sheng rode on a horse, his horse's hooves were light, and Li Sheng was thinking about how to make more fertile fertilizer while observing the surrounding farmland. At this time, the water conservancy irrigation in the Tang Dynasty was still very developed, and the fields were surrounded by ditch irrigation systems, and the irrigation in the water was already considered to have reached a very high level. It's just that Li Sheng feels that something is missing, and Li Sheng can't think of what is missing.

Behind Li Sheng, a carriage galloped forward, followed by five or six horsemen. Li Sheng pulled the reins and tried to give way, but the carriage came up to him and stopped. Five strong men on horseback surrounded him.

Li Sheng had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was in trouble. However, Li Sheng thought that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they didn't dare to kill people in broad daylight. But before Li Sheng's thought disappeared, a big man close to Li Sheng dragged Li Sheng off his horse, and Li Sheng was smashed and his eyes were full of pain.

"Who are you? I am a county man personally appointed by His Majesty, aren't you afraid of death? Li Sheng endured the pain and asked sharply.

Several people didn't speak, they all dismounted and divided Li Sheng by two, and Li Sheng was trapped, lifted up and thrown into the carriage. Li Sheng was smashed again, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't shout. Li Sheng was also scared at this time, but Li Sheng hadn't lost his mind yet, he wanted to escape or let people see it, otherwise he wouldn't know if he could live.

The carriage was fast, it was well enclosed, and there was a big man watching him. Li Sheng knew that it was impossible to run, and he could only find a way to let people see him.

Li Sheng saw through the wind-swept car door that the old man who was chatting with him just now was sitting on the original stone, presumably drinking the liquor that Li Sheng gave him. Li Sheng was ruthless in his heart, and his head slammed into the strong man who was guarding him, and the strong man snorted when he was hit, Li Sheng instantly broke free of the big man's hand, and his feet suddenly exerted force, and he rushed towards the car door. However, Dahan's reaction was not slow, and he grabbed Li Sheng. Li Sheng's heart sank, he didn't have time to think about anything, and with a hard roll, Li Sheng got out of the car, but the outside of the car was not so good, and there was a car outside, Li Sheng kicked the handlebar out of the car with one kick.

Yes!

A miserable shout, and the violent tilt and vibration of the car came instantly, and before Li Sheng could react, he fell out of the carriage.

Li Sheng didn't care about the pain, and was run over by the carriage. The carriage was also accurate enough, and both people who fell down were all run over by it. Behind him, the horse's hooves jumped over Li Sheng at high speed. Li Shengsheng only felt a strange pain in his left arm, and Li Sheng knew that his left arm was broken.

Li Sheng couldn't take care of these anymore, because the strong man who was following the car had already discovered him and had already surrounded him. The speed was too fast just now, and the strong men didn't have time to rein in the reins, but now they have reacted. Li Sheng gritted his teeth and got up and ran towards the old man behind him.

The old man heard the bump of the carriage, and originally thought that the carriage that was speeding past just now had overturned, and he was about to go to take a look, but he saw Xiao Langjun, who was chatting with him just now, being tied up and running towards him. The old man was stunned for a moment, threw away the wine jug, and ran away quickly.

When Li Sheng saw the old man running away, he couldn't help but despair in his heart. It seems that he is in danger.

However, the old man ran a few steps and shouted, "There are thieves!" Come on! There are thieves! ”

When the people in the fields heard the shouting, they all looked at it. The people of the Tang Dynasty were fierce, and there were already several young men running over here, and the old man also bent down to pick up a stone and ran towards Li Sheng.

The strong man chasing Li Sheng stopped in an instant, Li Sheng didn't dare to look back, and quickly ran in front of the old man. The old man protected Li Sheng behind him, and Li Sheng saw that the person chasing him stopped, and Li Sheng relieved his heart a little, and the pain in his heart hit instantly.

"Thief! You dare to take a step forward again, the little old man will fight with you! The old man shuddered and shouted sharply.

At this time, the peasants who ran towards them also ran to the front, and the strong men knew that the matter was not going to end well, so the leader did not make a sound, waved his hand, and everyone retreated, and quickly got on the horse and took the handlebars of the fallen carriage, and went away quickly.

Li Sheng saw the strongman go away and sat on the ground. The pain in his arm made Li Sheng and Si Si breathe coldly. The old man hurriedly looked at Li Sheng, only to see Li Sheng's arm falling weakly on his body. He could see at a glance that Li Sheng's arm was broken.

"Xiao Langjun, tell Xiao Lao'er his name and address, and Xiao Lao'er will send someone to report to your family. Your arm is broken, and if you delay for time, you will become disabled. ”

"Boy Li Sheng, a man from Xianyang County, the boy thanked the elder for his great kindness, please tell the elder his name as well, and the boy will report it." Li Sheng sat on the ground and said.

"Li Sheng, a man from Xianyang County? The Quyuan plough car was made by Xiao Langjun. The old man exclaimed.

"Yes!"

The old man saluted Li Sheng very respectfully, and said, "Little Lao'er can be regarded as saving the right person today, and Xiao Langjun is courteous to Xiao Lao'er." ”

At this time, many villagers who came also came to Li Sheng. After hearing Li Sheng's answer, everyone instantly turned angry. also hugged his fists like Li Sheng, and Li Sheng knew at this time that he had such a high reputation among the people.

At this time, after the old man and others gave a salute, he said to everyone: "Li County Man is kind to us and other Zhuang households, and you should also repay the service, and those who have ox carts at home should hurry up and take Li County Man to Chang'an for treatment." ”

Li Sheng also thanked him politely, and said directly: "There is my horse on the side of the road, is there anyone who can ride a horse, can you go to Chang'an Zuixianfang to report a message." Tell the shopkeeper Cheng Fu that something happened to me. ”

A strong man walked out of the crowd and said: "The villain Dou Changkun is from a light cavalry, and the villain is willing to run for the man of Li County." ”

Li Sheng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, kid." ”

Dou Changkun didn't return the salute either, and turned around like a horse on the side of the road. He turned over and got on his horse very neatly, and after a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The villagers were very enthusiastic, and after a while, the ox cart also came, and everyone helped Li Sheng to the ox cart. The old man and the three men accompanied Li Sheng to Chang'an.

The business in Zuixianfang is still hot, and the shopkeeper Cheng Fu is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. At this time, a horse stopped outside the door of the Drunken Immortal Fang, Dou Changkun turned over and dismounted, ran quickly to the Drunken Immortal Fang, and shouted loudly: "That is the shopkeeper Cheng Fu, come and talk to me." ”

The noisy voice was instantly covered by this voice, and Cheng Fu's face was full of unhappiness. However, he still walked in front of Dou Changkun and said with a smile: "I don't know the guest officer, what is the matter with the little one?" ”

"Li Sheng, a man from Xianyang County, met a thief on the road, and he asked me to report to you."

Dou Changkun's voice was very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly, and he immediately exploded. Although the male of Xianyang County is not a high title, he is also personally awarded by His Majesty. Who the hell dared to rob him, and he robbed him in the realm of Chang'an, it was a slap in the face of the emperor. It is no different from provoking imperial power.

When Cheng Fu heard the news, his face changed instantly. Hurriedly said: "How is Xiao Langjun?" ”

"It's okay, and I broke my arm. At this time, the farmer of our village should send him back to Chang'an to treat his injuries. Dou Changkun said.

Cheng Fu was relieved, as a person from Cheng Mansion, Li Sheng had an accident, and he would definitely report it to Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Fu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered the job to take care of the business in the store, and he and Dou Changkun rushed to Cheng Mansion to report the news.

"What! Li Sheng was kidnapped by thieves? Some of the fucking people just don't want to live anymore. When Cheng Yanjin heard the news, he instantly knew what was going on, and he also knew who was moving.

"Cheng Fu took a hundred generals and went to take Li Sheng to the mansion. Instructed his subordinates to invite the best healer in Chang'an City to wait. As soon as Li Sheng arrived, he was immediately treated. After Cheng Biting Jin ordered everything, he went to the palace non-stop.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, outside Chang'an City, these people dare to kidnap the county man who I am professed, they are provoking me, I will let them know immediately: Is my sword still sharp?" Li Shimin said with a fierce face: "Changde immediately found out, hijacked Li Shengren's whereabouts, and remembered that I want to live." ”

"Slave obeys!"

Changde led the decree out of the temple. Li Shimin said to Cheng Jin: "Zhijie, I have given you a secret decree, you can mobilize the sixteen guards in Kyoto at any time, and wait for my dispatch at any time." ”

"Minister, obey the order."

Before Li Sheng reached Chang'an City, he was picked up by Cheng Fu and a hundred generals. Li Sheng arranged that Cheng Fu must thank the villagers who saved him, and then got into the carriage brought by Cheng Fu.

There were already several doctors waiting in Cheng's mansion, but as soon as Li Sheng got off the car, Cheng Huaimo took a team of Praetorian Guards to take Li Sheng to the Tai Hospital. Li Shengke was tossed and suffered, damn it, Lao Tzu just broke an arm, where to pick it up is not the same, you have to toss Lao Tzu so much, it hurts not you, isn't it?

There was no way for the emperor to make a decree in person, Li Sheng could only pretend to be grateful to the emperor. As soon as the imperial doctor of Tai Hospital connected Li Sheng's arm, the Holy Decree came to Tai Hospital.

A long treatise, and finally Li Sheng was named the Marquis of Xianyang County by Emperor Li Shimin. He also praised Li Sheng for his contribution to the movable type printing press. He also highlighted the benefits of movable type printing presses. Li Sheng couldn't help shouting: "Li Shimin, you are harmful!" ”
