Volume 1 Chapter 36: New Year's Greetings at the Palace (2)

Li Shimin was writing something at the desk, and when he saw Yin Qingfeng coming in, he put his pen on the inkstone and stopped writing.

"You're quite spiritual, and you came up with it?" He stood up and walked in front of Yin Qingfeng and asked while surrounding Yin Qingfeng.

"It's called a knight's suit, and it's usually worn when you ride a horse casually. The gloves worn on the hands can not only prevent the hands from being injured by the friction of the reins, but if the thickness is increased, the soldiers can use them in winter.

This one on the leg is called riding boots. You look at the soles of this shoe, the protrusion of this part is to prevent the feet from slipping out of the stirrups, especially when the two armies are fighting, to stabilize the body of the soldiers.

The little nephew had just asked the steward of my uncle's house to take my men to meet some of my aunts and sisters, and she was wearing this kind of knight's ladies' dress. Aunts and younger brothers and sisters, if you want to relax on horseback, this will be useful. ”

The gloves and riding boots are very simple, and you can understand at a glance that you don't need to draw a picture for him.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "It seems that it is necessary to call you over from time to time, every time I see you, you can surprise me." Horseshoe palms, farming techniques, copper coins, and cattle raising improved the military, finances, and agriculture. In addition, your moral theory is also worth pondering. ”

Yin Qingfeng said hypocritically: "Actually, it's very simple to do this, uncle doesn't have to praise me." ”

"Simple? You say it's very simple? This answer is difficult to get Li Shimin's approval.

Yin Qingfeng said with a very honest look: "These ideas come from daily life. When I saw my own shoes, I thought of putting shoes on my horses; I experienced the heaviness of money and thought of improving copper coins; I saw that the bed on all four sides could not be hung with mosquito nets, but pillars were added around it; After tasting the boiled rice, I thought of stir-frying. As for cattle raising, it was an idea that came from asking the old farmers. Which one left life and imagined it out of thin air? ”

"But others... Including me, I live like this every day, why didn't I think of it? ”

"It's all about inspiration. Uncle thinks about military affairs every day, where is I so leisurely and identical to ponder. ”

"Your argument sounds reasonable, but it's hard to convince me."

Yin Qingfeng found a place for himself to sit down, "Does Uncle have to think of me as a wise and close demon person?" ”

"How wise is the demon? That's a good point. After hearing this, Li Shimin obviously agreed with this statement. Anyway, if you encounter any problems in the future, I will ask you the answers that you may have unexpected answers to. Li Shimin said thoughtfully.

"Uncle, this is going to kill me alive."

"How wise and close to demons."

"Uh~~"

Li Shimin seemed very happy to see Yin Qingfeng's embarrassed appearance.

He returned to the bookcase and sat down, "The people you want have been selected, and those tenants are your fiefdoms in Lantian County, and now they will be transferred directly to your side." In addition to these people, there were also some official slaves and some shepherds. Here's a rough list. ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from the side of the bookcase and handed it over.

"There is a manor there, which is the courtyard of a former Sui official for summer, I heard that it is very exquisite, and it is cheap for you. It's empty now, so you can arrange for your own people to take care of your daily life. When you go, someone will explain to you. This is the land deed and the house deed of the Zhuangzi. If you have any other requirements, please say them. ”

Yin Qingfeng took the contract, and then he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, saying, "I need my uncle to help me go to Hexi to help my little nephew find some seeds back, this paper is this kind of information." ”

Yin Qingfeng gave Li Shimin information on alfalfa, if he could grow alfalfa, he would be more sure of the breeding of cattle. Alfalfa was brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions, and it is cultivated in Guanzhong and the western regions, so it is not difficult to find.

Li Shimin took the information and read the content recorded above, "Okay, I will arrange it." ”

"Did my uncle ask someone from the Ministry of Industry to make those farm tools I mentioned earlier?"

"I've prepared a lot, and I'll hand it over to you when the time comes."

"With these people and farm tools prepared by my uncle, there will be no problem with this farm, and my uncle will definitely be satisfied when the time comes."

"That's good! You have cultivated technology before, and now you are raising farming cattle, and I don't think it will take a few years for Datang to no longer worry about food. ”

"Then congratulations uncle."

"The copper coin strategy you suggested was first tried in Chang'an on the first day of the first month of March. If possible, it will be officially exchanged in May at the whole of Datang. ”

"Congratulations to Uncle again."

"If it works well, I won't forget your credit."

"The little nephew said to his uncle before: This fame and fortune are a passing thing for the little nephew, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is the lifelong wish of the little nephew. If the uncle wants to reward the little nephew, it is better to send a few beautiful women to the little nephew. ”

"You~~~ But I have a lot of wives and concubines at your age, okay, I'll reward you a few when the time comes."

This time it was Yin Qingfeng's turn to be a little dazed.

He originally wanted Li Shimin not to worry about his merits or not, if Li Shimin always thought about this matter, it was inevitable that one day he would be suspicious of him. As a result, people were really generous and said that they would reward him with a few beauties.

"Then thank you, uncle."

"Hmm.... What good ideas have you come up with lately? Tell me about it! ”

"Recently, my little nephew has been thinking about plowing cattle, where is there time to think about other things."

"You sent someone to inform you yesterday, and I thought you had a new idea." Li Shimin said disappointedly.

Yin Qingfeng said: If I really tell you what is in the master's head, there will be no one who will not be able to finish it. But does the master dare to say it now?

"This one really doesn't."

"Okay, tell me what comes to mind."

"Definitely, definitely."

"Then let's go, go back and meet your aunts."

Yin Qingfeng was stunned for a moment: This is going to see my mother-in-law, I am not mentally prepared yet. However, it seems... What else can I say but follow along.

In the unknown yard, I saw white snow.

She heard Yin Qingfeng's footsteps and ran over excitedly. Li Shimin was stunned, why did he run out of an untethered horse here?

"Niu'er, you are so glorious, I didn't tie you up. How's it going, hungry? Take you to find something to eat. ”

When he saw that Yin Qingfeng and the horse were very familiar, he remembered: "This is the Dawan horse I gave to Gong Qiao?" ”

"Well, my knight's costume is ready, and it just so happens that the people in the house brought me to practice, so that she will not be wasted in the stable." Yin Qingfeng explained without raising his head.

"Seeing this horse can't help but remind me of Gong Qiao coming. Who would have thought that you, Ah Weng, would die on the road shortly after following me to defeat Wang Shichong? And this horse is useless. Li Shimin was very sad when he said this.

Yin Qingfeng saw that everyone was talking about his 'ancestor', so he turned to Li Shimin and said: "The death of Xianweng is also very sad in the little nephew's mansion, but for my Ah Weng, this is also a well-deserved death. ”

"Yes, you Ah Weng is a talented person, but unfortunately he died too early, and I lost my arm."

"I think there are a lot of capable people in the world, but the situation is turbulent, so they have no choice but to be a hermit and can't be discovered and appointed by their uncle, just like this horse."

"The world cannot be governed by kings alone. Fortunately, there are Wang Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Liu Zhenghui in the court; Wu has Daozong, Xiaogong Wang Brother, Eguo Gong Chi Jingde, Wei Guo Gong Li Jing, British Duke Li Ji, Ji Guo Gong Qin Shubao, Su Guo Gong Cheng Zhijie and other civil and military generals, otherwise the huge country is difficult to manage. ”

"Twenty years from now, thirty years from now?"

"This, there are outstanding people in the country."

"Education and training, and assessment mechanisms are very important."

Li Shimin's heart moved, "What do you suggest?" ”

"I really didn't have it this time, I took it according to my uncle's words."

Li Shimin said uncertainly: "Okay, tell me if you have any ideas." ”

"The little nephew has one more thing to present to his uncle. The uncle looked at the stirrup, and the younger nephew added some bumps to the stirrup, the same as the heel of the riding boots, in order to prevent the feet from slipping out of the stirrups when riding. ”

After watching carefully for a while, Li Shimin, who straightened up, tilted his head and looked at him and said: "It's improvement again, how come you can come up with ways to improve everything you see, and those people who come into contact every day turn a blind eye?" ”

Yin Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe I'm naturally more suitable to be a craftsman." ”
