Li Jie entered the palace, but he went to Zongzheng Temple first, Zongzheng Temple is also a clan surnamed Li, and after hearing Li Jie's intention, he immediately ordered someone to find it. After an hour, the things that Li Jie needed were put in the carriage, and the things were put back in the house first, and Li Jie went to see the sect himself. I have to say that in the play of the sect of absolute dedication, the Tang Dynasty was popular to play polo, before the popularity of polo, people used Keju for military training, in order to achieve the role of cultivating physical strength and training physical flexibility. After the Northern Dynasties, with the increasing popularity of cavalry warfare, Keju could no longer meet the needs of cavalry training, and the introduction of polo just filled this gap. And Xi Zong is especially fond of playing polo, and his level of polo is comparable to that of today's world stars. It's just a pity that he's just a pawn in the hands of eunuchs, and being an emperor is just eating, drinking, and having fun for him.

Looking at the elated play of the Zong on the field, Li Jie thought, "Let's play!" Let's play! After that, you'll just have to run! At this time, Tian Lingzi, who went out to run errands, came back, saying that this person had read books and was resourceful since he was a child, but with the growth of power, his greedy nature was exposed, and he desperately asked for bribes from hundreds of officials, and came up with the idea of confiscating the property of merchants. And because of the emperor's dependence on him, he became more and more arrogant, and gradually the hundred officials and the prince Tian Lingzi were no longer in his eyes. And he died most of all for his contempt. Seeing Tian Lingzi coming in, Li Jie hurriedly stood up: "Greetings to Father!" Tian Lingzi waved his hand, "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, sit down!" After Tian Lingzi sat down, Li Jie sat down, Tian Lingzi took a sip of the tea brought by the little eunuch and said, "Your Highness, you're having fun these days!" Li Jie hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xiao Wang is not very good at polo, not the appetite of the royal brother." Xiao Wang likes to wander around Chang'an Street, but it is also lively! Tian Lingzi said again: "What about Huangzhuang?" Li Jie replied, "It's just to accompany the two girls I like to go fishing and play!" Tian Lingzi said: "Your Highness is so Yaxing! "Li Jie arched his hand" Don't dare, don't dare! Tian Lingzi asked again, "On the side of the Wuxun family, how did His Highness do it?" Li Jie said, "I haven't been in touch with them for a few days. Tian Lingzi nodded and stopped talking.

Li Jie said in his heart: You old fox, I will follow you first, and I will settle the account later. Tian Lingzi took another sip of tea, got up and said, "The old slave has some things to deal with, Your Highness should sit less." Tian Lingzi left, he was very relieved, because he thought that everything was under control. Li Jie drank tea and watched Xi Zong play polo, I have to say that this emperor's polo skills are really good, the strength and angle of the swing and the speed of controlling the horse are just right. Among the several fan emperors of the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as the highest ball skill of Li Yi. When he hits the ball: "Every time he holds a bow and jumps on the momentum, he dribbles in the air, hits hundreds of times in a row and gallops more than once, as fast as thunder and lightning, and the two-year veteran is able to obey his ability."

Xi Zong came down to rest after the fight, and saw Li Jie and said with a smile, "Seventh brother, how can you give up your beautiful lady to come to me today." Li Jie smiled, "Brother Huang, don't make fun of it, today I said that I have nothing to do and come to the palace to accompany Your Majesty, but it seems that I don't need to accompany me." Xi Zong smiled, "Doesn't the seventh brother also like to play polo?" Why don't you accompany me to fight? Li Jie waved his hand, "It's too hot, forget it!" "But I said in my heart that I can't even ride a horse very well, how can I play with you. Xi Zong didn't say anything, sat down and drank tea and said, "Seventh brother, what happened to you entering the palace today." Li Jie said, "Your Majesty, your use is gradually expanding, and the use in the palace is becoming more and more tense. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "Oh? Seventh brother, let's talk about it! Li Jie said, "Today, the Huainan thief Kou Huangchao is rampant, and Gao Biao has repeatedly failed to suppress it, and the imperial court can issue a strict decree to apply for punishment, but allow him to use gold and silver to atone for his crimes, and then the imperial court can release rumors, intending to reorganize Huainan's armaments, and ask the local festival envoys to recommend themselves, and at the same time, they are also allowed to apply for punishment from various places, and appease the local area, and it is also allowed to use gold and silver to atone for crimes." In this case, these festivals will inevitably send a large amount of gold and silver to His Majesty for the sake of fame. After that, His Majesty can order his younger brother or other younger brothers to lead the Huainan Festival envoy. In this way, the festival envoys in various places only lost some money, but did not suffer actual damage, and those who did chaos because they were actually recognized by the imperial court, they would inevitably use a large amount of money to atone for their crimes. "The Emperor is overjoyed when he hears it", the seventh brother is a good means! Reward! Rewards! ”

Satisfied, he left the palace with the reward given by the Emperor, Li Jie knew that the Emperor would definitely do this, and Tian Lingzi would definitely agree, because he could make a lot of money because of it. Silently, Li Jie thought, "Your Majesty, anyway, your reputation is already stinky, let the seventh brother give you another ride!" Two days later, dozens of fast horses rushed out of Chang'an City and ran in the direction of the envoys of various festivals. Li Jie smiled when he found out and no longer took the matter to heart. Because he knew that according to the traffic conditions of the Tang Dynasty, the people who did not have these festival envoys would not have come to Chang'an City for more than ten or twenty days.

took Xing'er and Manniang Li Jie went out again, came to Zuixiang upstairs to the second floor, asked for a few dishes and sat down with Xing'er Manniang. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the shops were doing less business. Li Jie knew that this was all caused by the government's confiscation of the businessman's property, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't manage it. At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the little second walked in: "Your guest hasn't been here for a long time, let me wait!" Li Jie smiled, "Little Er, what is the matter with me?" The little two said, "Your guest asked me to help me find something a while ago, did you forget?" Li Jie's eyes lit up: "Oh! The little second brother has found it? Xiao Er said, "I don't know if it's or not, I'll know when I take a look!" Li Jie nodded: "I'm tired." Xiao Er turned around and went downstairs, and after a while, Xiao Er came back, holding a stick that was almost a meter long in his hand.

Xiao Er gave it to Li Jie, "Distinguished guest, but this thing?" Li Jie asked, "What is this?" At this time, Xing'er spoke, "This thing is called potatoes, I heard that the yield is extremely high," Li Jie took it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he broke it with both hands, "Isn't this a yam!" "This thing is indeed high-yield, and the starch is also high, the history of yam planting in China, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, this thing is high-yield, but it can not be eaten as a staple food, people will have a bloated stomach if they eat too much, but Li Jie thought that although blindly eating yam will indeed bloat, but if it is mixed with other grains, then this phenomenon can be avoided, half grain and half yam, you can use one acre of land, instead of ten acres of yield. And the extra output, if I develop pig breeding, then you can use them to feed pigs, so that you can increase the production of meat, more meat, in fact, you can also reduce the consumption of food, if a person can eat one or two meat a day, you can replace three or two to four taels of grain, and yam can also make wine, so that after you have your own territory, yam and grain can basically let farmers have food and clothing, and the yam production is large, farmers can not eat can develop pig breeding, and they can build a factory with yam wine, It can even be further processed into vermicelli.

Li Jie smiled, although he didn't find what he was looking for, but if he used barley, wheat and yam, farmers could not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also have the potential to greatly change their lives. Li Jie said to Xiao Er, "I'm very satisfied, I don't know what to call Xiao Er!" "Xiao Eryi arched his hand" did not dare to ask the nobles, and the small cheap name Ma Liu. Li Jie gave Xiao Er a silver bean, and Xiao Er thanked him repeatedly. Li Jie asked again: "I don't know who else is in your family?" Xiao Er replied, "It's just me and my wife." Li Jie thought for a while, "If you want, take your old lady to the east of the city, twenty miles away, there is a manor, you go to find a person named Xue Liang." He'll arrange for you! Xiao Er thanked him repeatedly.

Li Jie took Xing'er Manniang out of the restaurant and walked on the street, Xing'er and Manniang saw an endless stream of caravans and passers-by on Suzaku Street. And there are many juggling classes, there are acting, juggling, and variety. There were also some beggars playing snakes, sometimes you could see the disciples and merchants from the Western Regions, and some bearded girls were also dancing in the streets. The two girls' hearts were full again. The two of them came to a booth of a Hu man from the Western Regions, who spoke proficient Chinese: "Two beautiful girls, take a look!" Native products of Baghdad, Damascus, Mecca! And the jewel of Jerusalem! Tell you, this gem is everywhere in Jerusalem. Immediately, the Arabs took out a few pieces of colorless and translucent crystals, and when the two looked at the crystals, their faces were full of excitement and asked, "What is this?" How much do you sell? "Two girls, this is crystal, no more, no less than fifty taels of silver!" The two looked back at Li Jie. "Alas! These two losers! Li Jie took out the silver and handed it over, and the two picked up the crystal and turned around and left.

The market was still noisy, chariots and horses were passing by, and richly dressed Persian merchants were walking away with camel caravans. Flags fluttered on both sides of the street, the shouting of the shopkeeper in the restaurant, the shadow of death in harmony has shrouded Chang'an City, and some houses have been empty by people in successive military disasters, such scenes appear in front of Li Jie from time to time. Can Chang'an reproduce the glory of the prosperous era? When the sun sets, Li Jie accompanies the elated two losers back to the house, and the afterglow drags his shadow for a long time, just like his heavy thoughts. The twilight is heavy, and the distant Zhongnan Mountain behind it is already blurred, and it will sleep with Chang'an City.

Li Jie, who got up early the next day, continued his exercise, and then went to take a bath, and then went to the nurse to show his face, and was kicked out by the nurse. As soon as he came out, a little eunuch came to him, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, someone is here in the Imperial Village!" Li Jie asked, "But what is the matter?" The little eunuch said again, "The person who came didn't say it, but just asked His Highness to come over!" Li Jie nodded, "Okay, you go and prepare the car!" An hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Imperial Village, and a person rushed out of the door, "Your Highness, movable type printing is really possible!" ”
