Chapter 5 Zhenguan Dynasty Meeting (1)
PS: Please ask for the recommendation votes in the hands of the brothers and sisters, bow and thank you!
The prestige of the head of the family was only the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, Zhao Chen, the head of the family, had to get up and began to take a few family members to pay New Year's greetings one by one.
There's no way, who made him, the head of the family, still a junior!
Zhao Chen thought that he was early enough, but when he took people to Lao Qin's house, he found that the hall of Lao Qin's house was full of people, all of whom were Lao Qin's subordinates in the army, and it had been a long time since he saw the situation!
Zhao Chen gave Lao Qin a New Year's greeting in a proper manner, and sent a jar of liquor that had been prepared, and Lao Qin suddenly grinned.
The wine at his house had already been drunk last time, and he was worried during this time, but he didn't expect Zhao Chen to send it to him, and then Lao Qin asked someone to open the wine jar and poured one for everyone.
I couldn't stay in the hall, Zhao Chen looked at the wine one by one like cows, smiled bitterly, and had to retreat quietly, that is the best Wuliangye!
Coming out of the hall, he brought the prepared gifts, and went to the back house to greet Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin has big rules and has always lived in a simple place, and this is the first time Zhao Chen has come to the back house to visit Mrs. Qin.
What was given to Lao Qin was liquor, and the gift to Mrs. Qin naturally couldn't be bad, so Zhao Chen prepared a set of cosmetics for Mrs. Qin, unpacked soap, shampoo, perfume, etc.
Women are born to love beauty, even Mrs. Qin is no exception, seeing the gift given by Zhao Chen, listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, Mrs. Qin was originally a very reserved person, but she lost her square inch in an instant, picked up this, touched that, and praised Zhao Chen for being a sensible child.
can get Mrs. Qin's praise, Zhao Chen is naturally happy, but before he could laugh, the corner of his eye suddenly noticed the resentful eyes of Qin Yuyan, Lao Qin's daughter.
Yes! This kind of good thing, even if it is missing, it can't be bad for Lao Qin's daughter! Zhao Chen immediately took out another set of gifts from the side and handed them to Qin Yuyan with a smile.
"Thank you, brother!" The two of them are exactly the same gifts, but there is a slight difference in the fragrance, Qin Yuyan couldn't help but look at the things inside, and thanked Zhao Chen sweetly.
"Shimei is polite!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately grinned at Qin Yuyan. It's not easy, this girl hasn't given him a good face since they met, either with a straight face, or crying.
At this time, he smiled sweetly at Zhao Chen, revealing the two cute little tiger teeth, and Zhao Chen's eyes were all flickering.
Mrs. Qin coughed beside her at the right time, so startled that Zhao Chen quickly retracted her gaze, and then arched her hand at Mrs. Qin, and she was about to leave. If you don't say goodbye, if Mrs. Qin's throat is hoarse, how unlucky it will be!
The old Qin family and Cheng Biting Jin's family are the focus, and the other families are just going through the motions, but even so, after running down this day, Zhao Chen was tired enough, and when he returned home and went to the chair, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart.
Wheat squatted sensibly in front of Zhao Chen, and knealed Zhao Chen silently, this girl is a hard-working person, abandoned by the closest people, and has always been like a duckweed, and now that she has come to Zhao Chen, she has finally settled down.
I thought that I could stop when I returned home, but as soon as this thought flashed, Cheng Chumo's deafening voice immediately came from outside the door, mixed with the voices of Chai Lingwu, Li Jingheng and others.
Come and don't be rude! This is what the gentlemen say, but Zhao Chen can see from the faces of the gentlemen that the meaning of the three-day trip to the Spring Festival!
Now that these guys have come to the door, what else do Zhao Chen have to rest! Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman! Zhao Chen gave an order, Zhang Lu immediately ordered the kitchen to cook, and after a while, the good wine and food were on the table, and the gentlemen began to eat and drink as if they had just been released from the dungeon.
Zhao Chen was able to hold it at first, but later, somehow, he was confused by a bunch of gentlemen, and the scenery in front of him was spinning in circles, and the last one was loaded to the ground, unconscious.
There are only three days of rest, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the civil and military officials have to obediently return to their own work.
As soon as the time arrived, Zhao Chen got up from the warm quilt, today is the first New Year's court meeting after Li Er ascended the throne, all officials of the three provinces and six ministries must participate, Zhao Chen is such a sesame mung bean-like official, such a big court meeting, it was not his turn originally.
But it's a pity that he is the judge of the Gewu Academy, and he is the actual leader, so he has to participate in this court meeting no matter what. Lao Qin sent Qin Ming over early in the morning to urge, for fear that Zhao Chen would miss the time when he officially went to court for the first time.
Putting on the ugly green robe and the soft-footed black gauze hat, he instructed Zhang Lu and the others to move several jars in the house to the ox cart, which were all high-yield crops such as wheat, potatoes, and corn that he had raised when he first arrived at the Gewu Academy.
Zhao Chen was worried that these crops in later generations would mutate in Datang at first, but after several months of careful care, now these crops have begun to turn green, exactly the same as what Zhao Chen saw in later generations, and nothing happened that he was worried about.
As the first big court meeting of the new year after Li Er ascended the throne, this big court meeting has a different meaning from previous years, changing the name of the first year, and civil and military officials from all over the country offered auspicious things, in order to prove that Li Er's throne was ordered by heaven and was recognized by heaven.
As early as a month ago, officials from all over the country had entered Beijing one after another, with all kinds of strange auspicious things, staying in the post house in Chang'an, waiting for this day to come.
Zhao Chen took advantage of the court meeting to offer these crops, naturally not to smear Li Er's face, but to take advantage of the presence of local officials to promote these crops, this is an excellent opportunity, once it is promoted, then Datang does not know how many poor people can benefit.
Zhao Chen remembered that during the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty suffered a major drought, and after the drought, there was a locust plague, and as a result, in the land of Guanzhong, the crops were not harvested, and the people could only sell their sons and daughters.
Sun Simiao can refuse the opportunity to enter the palace twice, and would rather guard those sinners in Yongpingfang, is he not as good as an old man? What's more, this matter is nothing more than a matter of for him!
Outside the palace gate has long been densely packed with civil and military officials waiting for the court, at this time, while the palace gate has not yet opened, they are all gathered together, complimenting each other.
As soon as Zhao Chen entered the imperial city, he saw Lao Qin's figure from afar, standing in the middle of a group of veterans, raising his head from time to time to look at the imperial city, and seeing Zhao Chen with Qin Ming and a few people, driving an ox cart, and the appearance of Hang'er Langdang, his face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boy, what are you pulling in this car?" As soon as he arrived in front of the veterans, Cheng Yanjin couldn't wait to look at the ox cart behind Zhao Chen and asked curiously.
"The world!" Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yanjin with a serious face, and pretended to be serious and said: "Everyone is offering auspicious rui to Your Majesty, the kid thinks about it, and he also feels that he can't be left behind, so he pulls the world to His Majesty!" ”
Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were as wide as a cow's eyes, and his mouth twitched vigorously, but unfortunately, before he could make a move, Lao Qin's slap had already slapped him.
Zhao Chen had already been fanned out of the trick, and the wind behind his head was together, and as soon as he lowered his head, he instantly avoided Lao Qin's slap. Just kidding, he is now a person who has reached the crown, and if he wants to be fanned by Lao Qin like this, he will not be laughed at to death.
"This kid should be beaten!" There was a head next to him, and his voice was always yin, so he didn't have to look back, Zhao Chen also knew that it was Li Ji, a big yin person.
"Brother Qin, come and see!" Veterans are always a virtue, no matter whether they are familiar with you or not, when they see something curious, they don't agree with you, and they will open it first and read it as soon as possible.
Zhao Chen was still talking here, and the ox cart had already been opened by an old guy, and when he saw a few crops in the jar, especially the ears of high-yield wheat, he immediately shouted at Lao Qin.
The wheat in the Tang Dynasty at this time was a real low-yield crop, and the wheat grown in the fertile land was only the size of a finger's belly, which was not as high as the yield of those millets, which was also the reason why wheat has not been taken seriously.
And the high-yield wheat bred by Zhao Chen, the ears of wheat are about five inches, and one ear of wheat is four or even five times that of the ears of Tang wheat.
As if they had seen a ghost, their eyes widened in shock, their faces looked incredulous, and their mouths were full of toothaches.
"Boy, this... Where did this come from? Lao Qin's gaze was withdrawn from the long ears of wheat with difficulty, and he looked at Zhao Chen with a shocked expression, and asked with some dryness in his mouth.
Oh, my God! Once this kind of wheat is promoted to Datang, will Datang still worry about the lack of grain in the future? Previously, Zhao Chen said that he was going to move the world to His Majesty, and this really moved the world!
"This is the boy who brought it out of the mountains, and it is a real high-yielding wheat!" Zhao Chen had already thought about what to say, and when he heard Lao Qin ask, he replied almost without thinking.
"In the mountains!" As soon as Lao Qin heard this, his face, which was originally overjoyed, suddenly dimmed. When Zhao Chen came out of the mountains, he only brought a burden with him, that is to say, this kind of high-yield wheat is only so little.
The only way to plant a large area with only such a small amount of grain is to rely on continuous introduction, but when enough seeds are introduced, I am afraid it will be decades!
The veterans beside him also heard Zhao Chen's answer at this moment, and one by one, like Lao Qin, their originally overjoyed faces dimmed for a moment.
