On the seventeenth day of the first month, in the palace of King Qin in Chang'an City, there are still people singing and drinking wine, and the flowers are dancing in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, it's the New Year, and no matter how much you fight with the prince, it's impossible to make a big deal at this time. Li Shimin took his eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Qin Qiong to drink together in the flower hall, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall was endless. When the wine was half-drunk, Yu Shinan walked in from the outside with a scroll and a jar in his hand.

"Bo Shi, I have already sent someone to invite you, are you afraid of drinking and deliberately coming late, but you can't run away, you will be punished for drinking three times first", Li Shimin said with a smile while holding a wine glass.

Fang Xuanling also pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Bo Shi, come here, I have already reserved a place for you here."

After Yu Shinan came in, he gave everyone a casual salute, and said excitedly like a child: "The old man is late today, but this wine is not a lot to drink, and I have brought you some good things today", and put the scroll and jar on the table as he spoke.

Fang Xuanling, who was behind the table, stretched out his hand to open the scroll, and after only looking at it twice, he exclaimed: "Good words!" When the float is white! ”。

His shout immediately aroused everyone's interest, and a group of people left the table and came to watch, only to see that the four big characters "Straight on the right path" were written on the open scroll, and the pen was exactly the same as the words on the plaque of Bai Ji Yaotang. "This word is majestic, like a battle general array, even I, a person who is coarse and literate, can feel the spirit of this word, Mr. Boshi, you have met a confidant", Qin Qiong on the side took a sip of wine and said.

"Uncle Bao's words are very in line with my wishes, the old man sent him mountains and flowing water, he went back to the old man on the right path, this hidden world entered the world, a rigid and soft just on the right, today you don't need to persuade you, the old man also has to come not drunk and not return."

Li Shimin saw that Yu Shinan was happy like this, so he jokingly said: "It seems that Bo Shi has not run to Yishitang, otherwise he will be able to get this ink treasure."

"Let His Royal Highness smile, the old man ran three or four times before the New Year, and found Mr. Bai and let out the words, if it is really the old man's words, I will tear down the signboard of his shop, no, today in the past, the old Mr. Bai brought this word back, saying that his nephew ran in the deep mountains for seven or eight days to see this master. At the same time, I also gave the old man a jar of good wine by the way, and I didn't say anything, but today you have a blessing", he rolled up the word and put it on the table and pointed to the jar on the table.

"Since Bo Shi has good wine, then open it and taste it", Li Shimin said as he picked up the jar and patted the mud seal at the mouth of the altar, and a sweet and mellow aroma filled the hall.

"Good wine!" Not only did drunkards like Li Shimin and Qin Qiong shout hello, but even the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and a group of people who were sven also opened their noses and reveled in the aroma of wine. Quickly drank the remaining wine in the cup, Li Shimin poured some wine into everyone's cups, raised his glass and said, "Princess, drink to win!"

Yu Chigong Harazi had already flowed out, and as soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, he opened his mouth and wanted to take a big sip, but his face turned from black to purple as soon as he entered the wine, and he coughed violently and squirted out the wine in his mouth, which happened to spray Yu Shinan on the opposite side.

The old man looked at Wei Chigong with resentment and said, "Black charcoal, the old man brought you such a fine wine, why do you stupid still spray the old man?" Did you go through the procedure? ”。

Yu Chigong coughed and wiped the old man's face with his sleeve and said: "Mr. Yu, don't be weird, it's rude to you, this wine is too strong, but it's really appetite for Lao Tzu, thank you Mr. for bringing such a good wine!" ”。

With Yu Chigong in front of him, everyone cautiously took a sip first, and as soon as the wine entered the stomach, the depression in the intestines came out, and the strength of the wine rushed straight to the brain, making people flutter, "The jade liquid elixir brought back by Bo Shi!" Li Shimin shouted loudly.

After shaking the jar, Li Shimin asked the attendant to pour another round for everyone, and some lively-minded drunkards replaced the small wine glasses in their hands with larger utensils, and everyone smiled at each other, everyone wanted to drink more of this jar of wine.

Qin Qiong glanced at Cheng Yanjin next to him and said, "You're a little too much."

"What's the matter, if you are allowed to change the big cup, I am not allowed to change the bowl?"

Qin Qiong glared at him and said, "No one will say anything about you when you change the bowl, but the bowl you fucking serve is bigger than the jar, so you can't say it."

A jar of wine was drunk in three or two clicks, Yu Shinan saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't look at the old man, just this jar, there is really no more, I brought it over without even returning home, the old man will never hide it!" You must know that this wine is so good, the old man has long hidden it and drank it by himself", the old man now regrets it a little.

"After drinking this wine, drinking the other wine on the table is like horse urine," said Wei Chigong, and he didn't look at whose territory it was.

"Charcoal makes sense!" Cheng next to him gritted his teeth and smiled.

When he drank it again and felt tasteless, the housekeeper in the house walked in and whispered a few words to Li Shimin, and after a while, he walked in with a eunuch in the palace.

After Li Shimin looked at a few photos, he clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet and said: "Just now the sage sent a military report, in November last year, Dou Jiande's old department Liu Heimin rebelled again, captured Dingzhou and killed the governor Li Xuantong, and Zhou Wenju, a native of Qizhou, killed his assassin Wang Xiaoju and surrendered to Liu Heimin. In the month of Layue, Liu Heimin captured Jizhou to kill the governor Lu Ling, and Li Shiji, the general of Zuo Wuhou, was ordered by His Majesty to encircle and suppress the rebellion, and on the 12th in Songzhou was defeated by the Liu family, Xue Wanjun's brothers were captured, and the Turkic Jieli Khan also sent people and horses to help, and now his army is prosperous.

Handed over the military report to Fang Xuanling and continued: "Liu Heimin has recently captured Xingzhou and Weizhou one after another, killing Pan Daoyi, the governor of Weizhou, and all of Dou Jiande's original territory has been restored in just a few months. In the first month, Liu Heimin proclaimed himself the king of Handong in Xiangzhou, the capital of Zhouzhou, the year of the establishment of the day is made in heaven, and now the army is approaching Luoyang, it is reported that Luoyang has been lost, Liu Heimin is preparing to attack my Tang Dynasty by virtue of the recent military prosperity, and it seems that the war has started again. This time, I will lead all the departments to meet the battle, and you must also prepare in advance, Mr. Bosch will first draft the military document to prepare for conscription, the auxiliary machine and Xuan Ling will prepare the heavy grain and grass, and I will arrange the rest of the ......."

Approaching dusk, Yu Shinan, who was busy with things, suddenly remembered that the painting was still in the flower hall, and hurried over to find that the leftovers had been withdrawn, and the text was gone!

"You bandits, ruffians, old man kindly sent you good wine to drink, you don't appreciate it, forget it, and take away the old man's words, shameless! The old man is not done with you......." The voice of grief and indignation echoed over the empty flower hall.

The spring breeze in March passed through the woods by the river, and the willow branches that were originally stiff instantly became soft, and the small dots on the wicker sprang out of the rice-like buds overnight, and they grew into inch-long willow leaves in three or two days in the spring.

The waterwheel of Shenhe Bay and Li Zhuang squeaked and turned, the irrigation water head was enough, the wheat seedlings in the wheat field of Li Zhuang had already jumped more than half a foot high, Lao Zhang Shun sat at the head of the field and looked at the green wheat field happily patted his knees, last year planted such a dense wheat and was still worried that the water was not enough to water, and I was afraid that the wheat would fall after the jointing, when the watering Xiao Xiaoxian let the family's own cow dung thrown into the ground, as soon as the water entered the field, the wheat seedlings grew as strong as the two young men who stepped on the water wheel, and Mr. Xiao was about to become Xiao Xiao's fairy.

"It stinks! It's all your fault! Jin'er covered her nose and said to Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng threw cow dung into the newly opened wheat field in the spring, everyone saw that fertilization in the field has such great benefits, and heard Xiao Zheng say that the dung in his own toilet is also OK, the consequence is that the village stinks for a while, so that Jin'er counts Xiao Zheng from the morning to the evening, "endure for two days, the dung is a farmer's treasure, the crops are inseparable, and the wheat will definitely grow strong when this dung is applied to the ground, and the wheat will eat fragrant."

"Gott..." Jin'er retched and slapped Xiao Zheng's back and ran out, she was so annoyed that she couldn't stand it, so she quickly invited the mother-in-law out.

I looked up and saw Xiao Hai walking in from the gate of the courtyard, and after seeing Xiao Zheng, Xiao Hai said: "Brother Xiao, today the county sent someone to say that it was going to be conscripted, and I heard that it was to prepare to attack Luoyang."

After hearing this, Xiao Zheng was stunned and said, "Brother Xiao, are you saying that the young people in our two villages are going to go into battle to fight?" ”。

"No, no!" Xiao Haitou shook like a drum, and then said: "Our Datang conscription uses the government military system, the horse is a soldier, the horse is a farmer, and the land is cultivated during the wartime, and the civil registration is changed to the military registration in wartime.

After explaining, Xiao Hai smiled evilly and said: "But Brother Xiao is also thanks to you, we went to give a lot of gifts to the county lord before the New Year, and the county magistrate also made some pawns, this time the county lord obviously took care of it, not to mention our two villages, this is our township and only recruited some auxiliaries." Moreover, the county magistrate also said that my brother and I had military merits before, and said that this time the auxiliary soldiers in our township were led by me, and the military affairs they received were also the lightest work - transporting grain and grass.

After listening to this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Xiao Hai: "Then congratulations to Brother Xiao on his promotion", Xiao Hai pushed Xiao Zheng after listening to it and said: "Brother, don't bury me, if it weren't for the livelihood of three or more people in our two villages, Lao Tzu would not be uncommon."

"Do you still need to be a soldier like me, brother?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"You, dream, brother, I will serve you anywhere, but I guess you are the fastest one to lie down when you go to the battlefield. Besides, you are the only son in the family, you just want to go to our Datang and there is no shortage of people to recruit you, you don't want to go very simple, every year to hand over silk, silk and silk each two zhang cloth plus three catties of hemp, this is called 'there is a field is rent, there is a household is a tune, there is a body is Yong' This is our Tang Dynasty's rent tune, brother, it seems that you really don't understand" It is rare for Xiao Hai to show off in front of Xiao Zheng once.

"Then how much money and people did our two villages pay this time?" Xiao Zheng asked.

Xiao Hai said to Xiao Zheng with a wicked smile: "There are only three or four hundred people in our two small villages, and it stands to reason that there should be ten people, who asked us to give gifts to the county master, but as soon as the county lord loosened his hand, the tip of the pen was shaken, and it was reduced by half, and there were five people in our two villages, and it was enough to make up a few of our brothers."

"Hey, Brother Xiao, we're just sending grain and grass to Jane this time, and besides, the people who went with us are all acquaintances, and they're not playing with knives, can I go and see?" , Xiao Zheng asked.

"Absolutely! But you have to pass the level of aunt and brother and sister," Xiao Hai said with an embarrassed face.
