Chapter 670: The School is Built
Li Xiu entertained the envoy sent by the Japanese State to Tang like a smiling tiger, and finally figured out the reason why he came to see him, it turned out that after this guy called Inugami Mita came to Chang'an, he had not been able to get Li Shimin's reception, and the Japanese people he brought were not worried, which caused him a lot of trouble, especially the last time he was in Xishi, he spent a lot of money to redeem people.

After such a back and forth, the money brought by Inugami Mita has been almost spent, and he does not dare to move the tribute he brought, so now their life is also very difficult for the Japanese Mission, fortunately, Honglu Temple can provide them with food and lodging, otherwise a group of them would have to beg for food on the street.
It is precisely because of this that Inugami Mita took the opportunity of the upcoming New Year to visit Li Xiu, mainly to ask Li Xiu for help, so that they could meet Li Shimin as soon as possible, because according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they send tribute, they will generally get a heavy reward, so that they don't have to worry about lack of money, and they can even have a good time in Chang'an City for a while before going back.
It's just that Inugami Mita didn't expect that he couldn't see Li Xiu when he entered the Yanguo Mansion, and he didn't expect to meet the envoys of Silla, and the two also had a conflict, at that time he thought that Li Xiu's road would definitely not work, but although Li Xiu drove out the envoys of Silla, he met him alone, which made him hope rekindled in his heart, and after seeing Li Xiu, he also told him that he hoped to meet Li Shimin as soon as possible.
For Inugami Mita's request, Li Xiu naturally agreed, and also let people set up a banquet to treat each other warmly, and after the banquet was over, he sent the other party out, Inugami Mita was probably also taken aback by Li Xiu's enthusiasm, but when he left, he straightened his chest, and he really had a bit of ambassador's bearing.
After sending away Inugami Mita Yun, Li Xiu and Pei Lin returned to the inner hall again, but at this time, Pei Lin smiled and said: "Donkey, it's just a widow, you won't really help them intercede with Your Majesty, right?" ”
"Haha~! I don't have a good impression of the Wa Kingdom, and I have discussed it with His Majesty before, and in His Majesty's intention, he intends to forgive them until the New Year. Li Xiu said with a smile.
"I see, I guess Your Majesty doesn't want to deal with these arrogant Japanese people." Pei Lin couldn't help laughing at this time, but when he said this, he suddenly saw Pei Lin hesitate for a moment, and then he spoke again, "By the way, I heard that Your Majesty is going to move the Turks to the south, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
Zhao Deyan had already gone to Dingxiang, and the matter of moving the Turks to the south began to spread, but only some big nobles knew about it, and it was estimated that this matter would not be officially announced until the New Year.
"Yes, this matter has been decided, and the official in charge of this matter has also gone to Dingxiang, and now the snow on the grassland has not melted, and the road has not been opened, so this matter is estimated to be officially implemented after the beginning of spring." Li Xiu didn't think much about it, and nodded immediately.
Although Li Jing led the meritorious soldiers back, the army is still in the Dingxiang area, and after the beginning of spring, these armies will cooperate with Zhao Deyan to organize the Turks, if these Turks cooperate with the migration of the Tang Dynasty, if they do not cooperate, then the Tang Dynasty does not rule out the use of some military means.
"I've heard about this matter, and I've also heard that His Majesty handed over this matter to an official named Zhao Hong, I haven't heard of a person before, but I heard that when this person left Beijing, the horse used to see off the other party, I don't know if the horse knows about this person?" Pei Lin asked with a solemn face at this time.
"This ......" Li Xiu didn't expect Pei Lin to inquire about Zhao Deyan's identity, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he hesitated for a while before he spoke, "Pei Gong, I don't know why you inquired about Zhao Hong's identity?" ”
Zhao Hong is Zhao Deyan's pseudonym, although the Turks have been wiped out, but the Tang Dynasty's arrangement of spies in the Turks is still a secret, after all, the Tang Dynasty still has to be faced, although this method can be done, but it must not be admitted, so Zhao Deyan's identity is now only known to a few people.
"Hehe, in fact, this is the case, I have a young son who was selected by His Majesty and sent to work under this Zhao Hong to assist him in organizing the southward migration of the Turks, the old wife of the family usually dotes on this son the most, and she is very worried about him going to the grassland, and I have never heard of Zhao Hong, so I want me to inquire about the situation." Pei Lin said with a smile.
"I see, what Gong Pei said is your Gongzi Pei who is already engaged to Princess Linhai?" Li Xiu immediately reacted when he heard Pei Lian's words, and asked immediately.
Pei Lin has many children, but he has a favorite youngest son, it is said that he is almost fifty years old This son, the name is very peculiar, called Lawyer Pei, the reason why Li Xiu remembers the other party is mainly because of the name of the lawyer, and the other party is still a concubine, Pei Lin and Li Yuan are good friends, so this Lawyer Pei was engaged to Li Yuan's daughter Princess Linhai early, and he and Li Xiu are still brothers-in-law, but Princess Linhai is still young, so she has not completed the marriage for the time being.
"What the horse said is right, it is the dog lawyer, he is eighteen years old this year, I could have arranged a quiet official position for him, but this child has a big heart and is unwilling to rely on his family, so this time he concealed his identity and ran to the grassland, saying that he wanted to experience some training, and I had no way to take him." Pei Lin smiled helplessly at this time, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, for example, his favorite little son is disobedient, and he is not less angry.
"It's a good thing that young people are aggressive, and the northern grasslands have just been pacified, it is a good time for our Datang to control the grasslands, and for young people, it is even more promising, Pei Gongzi went there, he must have done something, as for Zhao Hong, Pei Gong doesn't have to worry, I will write him a letter and ask him to take care of Pei Gongzi more." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"That's great, thank you to the colt!" When Pei Lin heard this, he immediately thanked Li Xiu, which was also the main reason why he came to Li Xiu. As for Zhao Hong's identity, Li Xiu didn't explain much, and Pei Lin didn't ask again, because he knew that since Li Xiu didn't say it, it would definitely be inconvenient for outsiders to know this Zhao Hong's identity.
Talking about the internal migration of the Turks, Pei Lin also expressed some of his own opinions, don't look at him anymore, but his vision is very vicious, he saw through the purpose of Li Xiu and Li Shimin at a glance, and he was also very emotional about this matter in and out of the words, who would have thought that the Turks, who were extremely strong and prosperous at the beginning, would fall to the point where they are now, not only destroying the country, but also being used as a slave by the Tang Dynasty to open up the wasteland.
In the next few days, Li Xiu's house was still full of guests, but almost all the important guests had come, and it was about to be the New Year, so he didn't want to be disturbed anymore, so he simply closed the door, thanked most of the guests for their visits, and prepared to spend the New Year at home with peace of mind.
However, on the morning of the 28th, there was good news that the school where Li Xiu was going to go to school for the children of the nearby village had been built, which made him very happy and came to the school to take a look.
The school was built not far from the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, and when Li Xiu came here, he found that Yang Dui was also here, and Li Xiu was very surprised to see them: "Yang Dui, why do you have time to come here?" ”
"Donal, the Ministry of Agriculture is also going to have a holiday today, and I just heard that your school here has been built, and everyone will be neighbors in the future, so let's take a look." Yang Dui said with a smile at this time.
"Haha, it just so happens that this school is for the children of nearby peasant families to go to school, and I also plan to teach them some of the things I have learned, and when they finish their studies, maybe they can enter the Ministry of Agriculture to serve the country!" Li Xiu immediately smiled when he heard Yang Dui's words, and after speaking, he took Yang Dui to visit the school together.
Because there are many children in the surrounding villages, Li Xiu also built a very large school, the whole school is completely modeled after the design of the school in later generations, the gate is facing a row of classrooms, two are the husband's office, and there is a large playground behind, and there are some dormitories next to the playground, which can accommodate the teaching gentleman, and the house is also built although it is not beautiful, but it is very solid and practical.
At that moment, Li Xiu walked around the school, and he was very satisfied with the school, but he also found that Yang Dui seemed to have something to say, but he didn't seem to know how to speak, so he had been very hesitant.
