Chapter 423: The little friend was shocked by the little friend

Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info outbred close attack.

Tubo, which has not yet bordered the Tang Dynasty, is undoubtedly a distant friend, and Tuyuhun, who has long been in conflict with the Tang Dynasty, must need a close attack.

The Tibetan envoys stayed in Chang'an for half a month, and the Jiucheng Palace finally had a will to come back, so that Honglu Temple sent someone to escort the two Tubo envoys to the Jiucheng Palace to meet them.

After receiving them warmly for such a long time, Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren have successfully won the favor and trust of the Tibetan people.

Before Shang Nang went to Jiucheng Palace, he took Wang Xuance's hand affectionately and asked him to help the Tubo people who stayed in Chang'an buy books and hire craftsmen.

Wang Xuance was naturally full of answers, and then when he turned around, he asked people to pull cartloads of books for the Tubo people to choose by themselves.

Four books and five classics, poetry and articles, as well as all kinds of Buddhist classics, flowers and gardening books, the books brought are either about the words of the sages, Han culture, or Buddhist scriptures teach people to meditate and participate in Zen, don't think nonsense, or some hedonistic things.

And some of the most wanted art of war in Tibet, the craft books of wood construction, and ironmaking are not among them.

As for the craftsmen, needless to say, even if Wu Yuanqing didn't let people obstruct him, as soon as he heard that he was going to Tubo, few people went, and they were afraid that they would die in that wild place and not come back.

In the end, the Tubo people lured him to his advantage, and with Wu Yuanqing's secret arrangement, only a dozen people accepted the employment, involving three carpenters, two masons, a blacksmith who could make farm tools, and two You Fanglang, and the rest were all single farmers.

Although the books they bought and the craftsmen they hired were far from what the Tibetans had expected, they were very grateful to Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren.

Because the weather was so hot, these two people worked tirelessly to accompany them around the bookstore all day long, watching, buying, and looking for them one by one, to convince those craftsmen. They felt that these two people were really good people, and they were really good friends of Tibet.

But they didn't know that Wang Xuance and the others were deliberately making a show for them to see, in order not to let them see that someone was making a hindrance, and deliberately not let them buy the books they wanted to buy and invite the people they wanted to invite.

People with a higher degree of civilization can easily see where the people in the barbarian land can easily see, the people in the city have deep routines, they really know how to play, and the Tubo people who play are sold and have to help count the money.

No, in order to thank Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren, the Tubo team leader invited guests to the best teaching department in Chang'an for many days.

Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren are not fastidious people, after eating and playing, they turned their heads and ran to Sinong Temple to show off with Zhao Heng, and then they didn't forget that you and I mocked the stupidity of the Tubo people.

Zhao Heng almost didn't go anywhere every day, just guarded on the ground, barefoot, wearing a straw hat like a real old farmer, and naturally expressed his dislike for these two goods running around for three days and two ends, but he couldn't stand the cheekiness of others and didn't care about his face at all.

"I said Brother Zhao, why don't you talk to Shaoqing and come to Honglu Temple, you see how good our work is, it's much better than you dealing with farmland and crops every day." Wang Xuance proposed with a smile.

"Xuan Ce's words are wrong, Zhao Heng has done something that benefits the country and the people, and if this Zhancheng rice is popularized, it will be a great success." Gao Biaoren disagrees with Wang Xuance's opinion.

Gao Biaoren was a thorn in the past, a local parent official, and in later generations, he was at least the mayor of a prefecture-level city. Therefore, he sees it far farther and more comprehensively than Wang Xuance, who has just won the crown and has only been in his career for a year or two.

He knows that Datang is now a strong country, and there is no big threat from the outside, and the top priority in the future must be the domestic people's livelihood issues.

The issue of people's livelihood is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the most important thing here is the problem of food, that is, the problem of food.

As the old saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and "Guanzi Herdsman" is also cloudy: Cangqiao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

No matter what a country does, food is the foundation, the foundation.

This is also what Zhao Heng is now putting all his time and energy into.

Gao Biaoren knows very well that Zhao Heng has done a good job in this matter, and his promotion is just around the corner, of course, they can also be promoted if they do a good job, but in comparison, Zhao Heng must be promoted faster than them.

Gao Biaoren doesn't worry about himself, his experience about the history of assassination, as long as he doesn't leave the political center, once the emperor is angry, it is still easy for him to be reinstated or change his position as an official.

But Wang Xuance can't do it, in the position of Honglu Temple, it is not easy to go up, and dealing with envoys, a bad one may lead to a conflict between the two countries, even if it is not your fault, it may also make you a scapegoat.

Throughout the past dynasties, there are few who can make a big difference in Honglu Temple, most of them rely on seniority to rise, Tang Jianguo has been promoted from Honglu Temple to the Ministry of Household Books for more than ten years, and this is still Tang Jian was the Ministry of Rites before the Wude years, and it is said that the promotion to the Ministry of Household Books is at most an official reinstatement, and it is the same as before.

After listening to Gao Biaoren's words, Wang Xuance also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he smiled and diverted the topic and asked: "Brother Zhao, your second crop of rice has been planted for more than ten days, how is it growing, is it slower than the previous one?"

"Brother Wang, you can see it too." Zhao Heng nodded with a smile and said, "It's indeed slower than the first stubble. Shaoqing said that this rice can mature in less than two months on the Champong side, but we are located in the north and the temperature is not as high as there, so the growth will definitely be slow, so I waited for the first crop to be harvested for almost three months. This rice is also really good, the ears are big and full, I secretly made some to make a bowl of rice, and the food is no worse than our local rice. It's just that the climate in our north is still not suitable, and the second stubble is planted and grows far less quickly than the first stubble, and this is just July, and I estimate that there must be a lot of rice deflated when the second stubble is harvested."

"Then did you report it to Wu Shaoqing?" Wang Xuance asked anxiously after hearing this. Gao Biaoren also cast a concerned gaze.

This grain is not full, or even deflated, but it is a big thing, and it is almost like the sky falling in an ordinary farmer's house.

"How dare I hide this, I found that the growth was not right, I told Shaoqing, Shaoqing said that it should be the first stubble planting time is too long, delaying the growth time of the second stubble. Wait for the second crop to be harvested to see the situation, and if the shriveling in the grains is not serious, the planting time of the first crop will be shortened next year. Didn't it take three months to harvest the first crop this year, and harvest it in the early two months next year, so as to save half a month of time for the second crop and see if we can solve the situation of shriveled grains." Zhao Heng said.

"What if it doesn't work." Wang Xuance asked with some concern, this kind of one stubble and two stubbles, the harvest is very different, and the final credit is also very different.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if Shaoqing can't say it, anyway, he is mainly preparing to promote this kind of rice in the south, the hot time there is much longer than in the north, it is not a problem to plant two stubbles a year, and it is okay to plant three stubbles and four stubbles in Lingnan." Speaking of this, Zhao Heng smiled very happily and satisfied.

"Three stubble, four stubble? Isn't that something that can be planted all year round, Brother Zhao, your contribution is too great." Wang Xuance and Gao Biaoren were shocked.
