Dozens of miles south of Chang'an City, Li Xiu and Li Shimin rode side by side on horseback, this is a field road, both sides are patches of farmland, although the wheat harvest has passed, the field is still full of busy farmers, especially many wastelands There are many people in the reclamation, there are ploughing cattle with ploughing cattle, and those who do not plough cattle use manpower, one by one is in full swing, after all, they have to hurry up to put the stubble crop species down.

"Li Xiu, what are you bringing me here for?" Li Shimin looked at the surrounding farming scene, but asked a little puzzled, just now Li Xiu said that he wanted to prove to him that the people of the world believed in his ability as an emperor, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to take him to this place not far from the princess's courtyard.

"Hehe, Your Majesty will find out soon!" Li Xiu said at this time and dismounted, and then signaled Li Shimin to dismount as well, although Li Shimin was a little puzzled, but in the end he also dismounted, and then the two walked side by side on the field road, and the guards behind them led the horses to follow far behind.

I saw Li Xiu take a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and asked with a smile to an old farmer who was drinking water in the field, "Uncle Zhou, do you still recognize me?" ”

The old farmer immediately turned his head to look at Li Xiu's voice, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stood up and said a little crampedly: "Why are you here, donkey?" ”

"Haha~, I passed by here with a friend and saw that Mr. Zhou and your family are cultivating land here, so let's take a look, I don't know how the Yongye field allocated to you by the imperial court, is there a shortage?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

"Don't worry about it, the Yongye field divided by the imperial court is not less, and it also gives a little more wasteland, although the alkalinity is a little bigger, but in the future, you should be able to plant something by washing it with river water a few times!" Mr. Zhou replied to Li Xiu very respectfully, although he had not met Li Xiu a few times, he had a deep impression of Li Xiu, after all, he was the husband of Princess Pingyang.

"That's good, speaking of which, the sweet potatoes you planted before will be harvested this year, and I will let people send you some sweet potato seedlings next year, sweet potatoes do not pick the ground, they can also grow on saline-alkali land, and the yield is also large, then you can plant some sweet potatoes as rations, and it will be easy to get through the previous few years!" Li Xiu also said with a smile at this time.

"Thank you...... Thank you for your concern, little old man...... Xiao Lao'er ...... "Hearing that Li Xiu was willing to give them sweet potato seedlings, this Zhou Laozhang was also excited and didn't know what to say, and Li Xiu smiled and comforted him a few words, and then said goodbye to the other party and left here with Li Shimin.

But at this time, Li Shimin was confused, and he couldn't understand what the hell Li Xiu was doing? It was only then that he finally asked, "Li Xiu, what do you want me to see, do you just want to meet the old farmer just now?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Li Xiu looked at him at this time and smiled: "Mr. Zhou's family was originally from Hebei, and the year before last they fled to the vicinity of Chang'an, rented a few acres of land from the princess, and the family barely survived, but before His Majesty allocated Yongye Land to the people, and Mr. Zhou's family was one of the beneficiaries, and His Majesty also saw it just now, most of the land they reclaimed was wasteland!" ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then thought about it, and indeed found that most of the land reclaimed by Zhou Laozhang and others was barren land.

"In addition, it's not just Mr. Zhou's family, Your Majesty, look at the vast plains around you, this used to be a fertile cultivated land, but after the war, the people here fled away, and the fields were barren, if you re-cultivate, you need to raise them for a few years, and this is also a little far away from Chang'an, even the nobles are not willing to buy the wasteland here, fortunately, Your Majesty, you promulgated the Yongye Field Law, and there are a lot of people like Zhou Laozhang here."

Speaking of this, Li Xiu and Li Shimin finally came to a relatively simple village, most of the houses in the village are built temporarily, although simple, but there are many children outside the village playing and playing, and at this time it is time to make dinner, and the smoke of cooking is also rising in the courtyard, it looks vibrant, I believe that it will not be long before a new village will be formed here.

"Your Majesty, please see, this plain is vast, and most of the previous fields have been barren, but with the promulgation of Yongye Tian, more and more people choose to move here, in just a few months, more than a dozen large and small villages have been formed here, and this is still Chang'an, there are relatively few barren fields like this, and in other state capitals, presumably the influence of Yongye Tian will be greater, it is estimated that in a few years, these people will rely on Yongye Tian to live and work in peace and contentment in various places, and reproduce more heirs." When Li Xiu said the end, there was also a smile in his eyes, and he also greatly appreciated Li Shimin's move.

When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's words, his originally tired eyes also recovered a little, Yongyetian's decree was promulgated by him, and he clearly knew the possible effect, but he knew that it was far less than the impact he had brought to him by seeing these people live and work in peace and contentment under his own decree, which was the greatest affirmation of his ability.

"Yongyetian is just one of His Majesty's decrees, in addition to the abolition of corporal punishment, the opening of ten roads, etc., or directly or indirectly have a great impact on the people of the world, at least most of the people have benefited from it, Your Majesty may not feel it in the court, but the ministers are in the people, but they can see more clearly, so Your Majesty does not need to doubt your own ability!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, and the reason why he dared to say that he gave Li Shimin confidence was to let him see with his own eyes the effect of his decree.

"Hahaha~, I understand, Li Xiu, you bother!" Li Shimin also laughed at this time, seeing the effect of his decree, which made him swish his doubts about himself, his heart was full of confidence again, and he felt as if he had seen the direction of the future, in fact, he didn't need to make any changes, just insist on implementing the current decree, and a prosperous era may come in the near future.

After untying the knot, Li Shimin's interest also became very high, and he personally went into this temporary village to go around, and finally asked the guards to take out a handful of copper coins and distribute them to the children outside the village, and then left here with Li Xiu.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already completely dark, Li Shimin wanted to send other people to bring that Zhao Deyan into the palace, so as not to be seen by others, after all, he was going to the Turks to do fine work in the future, but now that it was so late, he didn't have to worry about being seen under the cover of the night, so he let Zhao Deyan leave the courtyard with him.

After sending Li Shimin away, Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was not worried about whether Zhao Deyan could be recognized by Li Shimin, as for how Li Shimin arranged Zhao Deyan? He didn't need to worry about this matter anymore, so this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

For the next period of time, Li Xiu ran in the two courtyards of Yiniang and Princess Pingyang every day, mainly because the two sons were too worrying, especially after becoming a father for the first time, if he didn't look at his son for a day, it felt like a shortcoming?

Now Ping An Lang can already climb, this little guy can eat and sleep, and he is two laps bigger than ordinary children, and he looks tiger-headed. And this little guy likes his younger brother Li Jin very much, Yi Niang takes him to Princess Pingyang every day, but Ping An Lang smiled brightly when he saw his younger brother, and then the two little guys "babbled" and talked non-stop, and they didn't know what they were communicating?

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, after the Lantern Festival, Li Shimin officially announced that the year name was changed to Zhenguan, this year is the first year of Zhenguan, the weather is getting warmer day by day, the frozen mud in winter is also beginning to melt, and spring is coming soon.

"What's wrong with Daochang Sun, you're not feeling well?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Sun Simiao, because now Sun Simiao's brows were slightly furrowed, his hands kept rubbing his waist, and he walked a little strangely, looking like he was injured?

"The colt got up so early!" Sun Simiao also smiled when he saw Li Xiu, and then suddenly straightened his waist, only to hear a "click" sound in his body, which made Sun Simiao have a comfortable expression on his face.

"What's wrong with Daochang Sun, could it be that the road slipped and fell and was injured?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask again in surprise when he saw Sun Simiao's appearance, but don't look at Sun Simiao's age, but his body is stronger than ordinary young people, and he also knows martial arts, and his body is very flexible, so it is not easy to make him fall.

"Haha~, I'm ashamed to say it, didn't I learn yoga from that Bopo with Xuanzang before, it was simple at the beginning, but I'm older, and I'm a little anxious during this time, but I accidentally twisted my waist when I practiced this morning, but fortunately, it's not a big deal!" Sun Simiao laughed at this time, he is also very interested in yoga, although he knows that he is old, I am afraid that he will not be able to learn the essence of yoga, but he can refer to yoga to deepen his understanding of medicine.

"I see, what's wrong with that Popo, is he still practicing in the Solemn Temple?" As soon as he heard Sun Simiao mention Bopo, Li Xiu immediately asked with great interest.

"Bopo has moved out of the solemn temple and now lives with Xuanzang." Sun Simiao smiled and said, although there is a struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, it does not hinder the communication between monks and Taoists, for example, he admires Xuanzang's Buddhist cultivation very much, and the two have become friends who have forgotten their years.

"Moved out? Where did they move to? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Xuanzang had also placed an order in the Zhuangyan Temple before, and he and Bopo had nothing to do, where could they move to in this kind of cold weather?

"I don't know, although Xuanzang is young, but Buddhism is profound, in Chang'an Buddhism is quite prestigious, some time ago there is a small temple in the southern suburbs of the city passed away, no one presided over for the time being, as a result, the host of the solemn temple recommended Xuanzang to preside over for a period of time, just Xuanzang is not in a hurry to leave, so he went to the small temple to temporarily serve as the host, Popo also lived in the solemn temple is bored, so he moved with Xuanzang, it just so happened that the small temple is not too far from us, and it is convenient for me to learn yoga with Bopo." Sun Simiao explained with a smile.

"I see, that Bopo is really picky, Zhuangyan Temple is a first-class temple in Chang'an, he can't even get used to it?" Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, saying that he hadn't seen Bo Po since he rescued him.

"Haha~, it's also interesting to talk about it, there are many sects within their Buddhism, and they are fighting with each other, Bopo is just a monk, and he is not tolerated by Central Plains Buddhism, so he lives in the solemn temple, and he is not treated, at most, only I and Xuanzang can talk to him, and the other monks don't even pay attention to him, so he doesn't want to be angry, and there are too many rules in the solemn temple, and he is not even allowed to go out to preach, so he took this opportunity to move out, so as not to suffer from the fence of the host." Sun Simiao was a little gloating at this time, after all, he was a Taoist priest, and he was also happy to see the internal struggle in Buddhism.

"I didn't expect Bopo to be quite backbone." Li Xiu smiled and shook his head at the moment, but then he thought of something important, so he asked Sun Simiao again, "Daochang Sun, you have also studied yoga for a while, I wonder if it will help your medical skills?" Have you thought of a cure for beauty? ”

Hearing Li Xiu ask about yoga, Sun Simiao also immediately showed a solemn expression, pondered for a moment before speaking: "Horse, yoga is indeed very magical, if Tai Chi is my Taoist method of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, then yoga is the method of Tianzhu religion to cultivate one's body and mind, but unfortunately I don't know much about the religion of Tianzhu, so I can only borrow some things from yoga and try to improve the health effect of Tai Chi, but whether it is yoga or Tai Chi, these are external forces, and they cannot treat the illness of the eldest princess. It can only be said that it strengthens her physique, thereby reducing the risk of her heart disease! ”

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he not only made a big vassal, but also set up his eldest son Li Chengqian as the crown prince, Li Tai was temporarily named the king of Yue, and Li Zhen was named the princess of Changle.

"Sure enough!" Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, in fact, he had already guessed that this was the result before, but he had the idea of what to expect, so he wanted Sun Simiao to give it a try, but unfortunately it still didn't work now.

"Don't be too disappointed, don't be too disappointed, although these self-cultivation methods can't cure the princess's illness, but I combine yoga with Tai Chi to better enhance the princess's physique, and the effect is much stronger than just practicing Tai Chi." Sun Simiao saw Li Xiu's disappointed appearance, and immediately opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Forget it, everyone has their own fate, it's really hard to ask for it!" Li Xiu sighed again and said, sometimes I really have to believe in such a thing as fate.

"Don Ma, I'm going to Bopo and Xuanzang now, do you want to go together?" Sun Simiao saw that Li Xiu was in a bad mood, and immediately opened his mouth to suggest that maybe going out for a walk would make him feel better. (To be continued.) )
