Imperial Chang'an——

The sage Li Yuan hugged the young and beautiful Concubine Yin De, and the dream was in full swing, and the personal attendant stepped forward lightly, and reported outside the tent: "Tell the saint, Xiao Gong and Pei Gong are coming together, and there is great news to report to the saint." ”

There was silence in the tent for a while, and then I heard Li Yuan ask: "Since the two of them came together, it must be a major matter, announce it." ”

"Whoa."

"Sage."

The young and charming female voice is still a little confused. Li Yuan said: "It's still early, Concubine Ai continue to sleep, I'll go first." ”

"If the saint is not there, how can the slave family sleep? Let the slaves serve the saints and dress. ”

Concubine Yin Defei endured dozing and got up to serve Li Yuan to dress.

Li Yuan finished dressing, went out of the harem, and went directly to the Taiji Palace, Xiao Yu and Pei Lin were already waiting there, and when they saw Li Yuan coming, they all saluted: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint." ”

Li Yuan asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Xiao Yu took out a letter from his sleeve cage and presented it: "This is a sparse performance sent by Princess Pingyang, the general stationed at Weize Pass, for 800 miles, please take a look at it!" ”

Was it sent by Binh Duong?

Li Yuan couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, took the sparse music and looked at it quickly, looking at the handwriting, it should be written by Pingyang himself! Li Yuan read it quickly, and couldn't help laughing: "Pingyang Wu'er, wouldn't it be a great fortune to send such a good news!" ”

The two ministers were also full of joy: "It is indeed a great auspicious time!" The saint should tell the world to consolidate the popularity of the Tang Dynasty and deter thieves! ”

"Yes! Come on, ring the bell, I'm going to have a big pilgrimage! ”

"Whoa!"

The chamberlain galloped away, and after a while, the bell announcing the convening of the court meeting rang throughout the city. Today is not the day of the Great Imperial Meeting, and the temporary convening of the Great Imperial Conference can be imagined to see all the officials in Beijing should be in a hurry again.

When the court meeting was held, Li Yuan took Xiao Yu and Pei Lin directly over, and after a courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Li Yuan knelt down on the throne and said: "Today's temporary court meeting is a happy event to share with the secretaries!" Xiao Qing! ”

"Whoa!"

Xiao Yu came out of the ranks, took out the sparse music from the sleeve cage, and began to read it out in court-

"Hiss"

The sound of gasping was really neat and loud, and when Xiao Yu finished reading the whole book, the ministers glanced at each other and knelt down in unison: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint, this is a great auspicious fortune, it is my Tang saint who was ordered by the sky, and the omen of the country's extinction!" ”

At the court meeting, up to the saints, down to the ministers, everyone is excited, this is not those pretending to be ghosts auspicious, but real auspicious, new crops with a yield of more than 20 stones, throughout the ages, there is a more real auspicious than this? Liu Heimin's resurgence of chaos seems insignificant!

Xue Lang naturally didn't know about the excitement at the court meeting, he was sitting opposite Her Royal Highness the princess at this time, discussing the promotion of the production method of sweet potato vermicelli.

Princess Pingyang said: "The sweet potato production is huge, and the stakes are very high, and the sage will definitely send an envoy to check it, and the one who comes is either an upright minister like Li Gang, or a member of the Li clan." ”

Xue Lang said: "No matter who comes, anyway, we are not fake, and the output is also real, we are not afraid, and it is better for the upright ministers to come." ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and nodded. Xue Lang said: "Regarding the promotion of the production method of sweet potato vermicelli, I have two plans, please refer to one or two for Your Highness." ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Yes! The young sun can be said to be as good as it gets. ”

Xue Lang then said his own method. There are two most convenient ways to promote something new. One is that the state comes forward to promote it in the form of official promotion, because of the authority of the state, this kind of promotion is the easiest, but it costs a lot of money.

There is another kind of promotion is the business model, which uses the profit-seeking nature of businessmen to promote. In this era when grain production is generally not high and most people can't eat enough, it is naturally popular to have a crop with high yield, simple planting, and full stomach. It's just that the peasants in our dynasty generally have a strong sense of small-scale farming, are timid and peaceful, and do not dare to try new crops, for fear that they will not be harvested and hungry.

Xue Lang concluded: "Two promotion methods, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, I actually tend to ask the imperial court to promote, the appearance of sweet potatoes is auspicious, you might as well carry out auspicious thoroughly, vigorously invest in the promotion, so it is also a moral policy, later generations to evaluate it, presumably it will be better." ”

Princess Pingyang didn't speak, she just looked at Xue Lang with a smile, and Xue Lang couldn't figure it out: "Why does Your Highness look at me like this?" ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Listening to Youyang's remarks, it seems that he doesn't value or respect his fame in history, if he doesn't know that Youyang is a person, he thinks that Youyang is a person whose interests are paramount, regardless of morality." ”

Xue Lang was in pain and said, "Aren't you analyzing it now?" Naturally, analysis should be rational and objective, and all good and bad should be considered. ”

This is the habit of modern people, when considering things and making decisions, all aspects of the interests must be taken into account, and naturally the greater the benefits, the better.

Princess Pingyang said: "In front of me, Youyang can speak freely, but if Youyang enters Beijing as an official in the future, he can be cautious." If such remarks are said in the court, I am afraid that the evaluation of Youyang in the history books of later generations will be low. ”

Xue Lang sincerely thanked: "Xue Lang has been taught, thank you for your guidance." ”

It was for his own good that he was admonished in this way. Thinking about future generations, all kinds of things about overturning cases for historical figures abound, not to mention ancient historical figures, that is, modern historical figures, and some people with ulterior motives are making waves, which is called historical nihilism. Xue Lang agrees with rational and well-founded academic research, but disagrees with the fact that judgments are often made based on only a few words.

However, there is a question to be said, Xue Lang said: "It's too early to enter Beijing as an official or something, and my subordinates are currently doing a good job in the princess's mansion, and I don't want to change places yet." ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Thank you Youyang for having a heart, it's just that if the saint gives an edict......

Xue Lang said directly: "Is there still a way to force people to be officials?" Your Highness is my savior, and now when Your Highness needs me, is Xue Lang such an ungrateful person who only cares about himself? Or, in the eyes of His Highness, am I that kind of person? ”

Princess Pingyang waved her hand: "I know Youyang, but the world changes, and it is always unsatisfactory." ”

There are some vicissitudes in what I said. Xue Lang said firmly: "I know in my heart, Your Highness don't have to mind." ”

Princess Pingyang persuaded: "No matter what, Youyang should be prepared first." ”

Xue Lang said decisively: "Your Highness doesn't care about this matter, just leave it to your subordinates to deal with it." By the way, when will the envoy sent by the imperial court arrive? ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Xiangrui confirms that the imperial court has a set of detailed rules, according to the rules, plus the time spent on the road, maybe more than half a month." ”

Xue Lang silently estimated and said, "Then the potatoes should be ready to be dug by then, do you want to report the potatoes as well?" ”
