Li Su held the fish tank and walked towards the pond in the south courtyard, this thing was too heavy, it was transported back by carriage just now, Cui Yingying and Su Mo'er originally planned to go out to play, but now they are laughing and following Li Su to the pond.
Holding the fish tank, Li Su went down the steps to the edge of the pond and slowly poured all the goldfish into the pond, while the two women were squatting aside and watching the goldfish entering the water.
"Your Highness, what are these fish called? It's weird-looking, but it's really beautiful. Cui Yingying asked.
Li Su poured the last goldfish into the water and said, "This is called a goldfish, it is an ornamental fish, there are many varieties, this is only some of the species, there are hundreds of kinds I haven't brought." ”
"Hundreds?" Su Mo'er was very surprised, it was not easy for ordinary large families to raise a few golden carp.
"That's right, let's put them here and raise them slowly, and next year they will be able to breed a lot of little goldfish." Li Su said, and asked, "Where are you going to go just now?" ”
Cui Yingying grabbed Su Mo'er's hand and said, "We are going to go to Baihuatan to swim in the lake, will Your Highness go down?" After being in Yizhou for so long, His Highness hasn't been there yet. ”
Cui Yingying said this, Li Su remembered that he had really never been to Baihuatan, which is as famous as Chang'an Qujiang Pond, so he said, "Let's go!" ”
Cui Yingying just asked casually, but she didn't expect Li Su to really go, and said happily: "Really? That's great! Su Mo'er also smiled with her eyebrows, obviously very happy.
Li Su went to ask Jin Daqian to bring the red boy, and the two girls took the carriage. The group went to the north of Yizhou City, which is located in the northwest corner of Yizhou. The lake is very large, the water is clear, and there are many kinds of aquatic plants, and of course it is most famous for the lotus flowers that fill the pond.
On the way to Baihuatan, Li Su saw people dressed as business travelers passing by from time to time, some golden-eyed Persians and Hu people could be seen, and the dense flow of people on this road was not a little more than when he was in Yizhou just now. It seems that the effect of his policies to encourage business is still significant.
The reason why he encouraged Yizhou's business exhibition was that the situation in Yizhou was different from other places in Datang, and that the planting of new cash crops would inevitably be exported, and it would not work without the participation of these businessmen, and he was not unaware of the importance of agriculture, but blindly engaging in agriculture could only make the people full, but it could not make the people rich, and only business could make the people of Yizhou have money in their pockets. And the people have surplus money to spend in Yizhou, which in turn promotes the business exhibition in Yizhou, which is a virtuous circle.
Of course, Li Su also set up a special organization similar to the business administration of later generations, which was the Municipal Yi Division, which was responsible for regulating business behavior and cracking down on speculative and fraudulent businessmen. At the same time, it also protects the interests of businessmen, and this also makes businessmen prefer to do business in Yizhou, because their rights and interests can be protected in Yizhou, and they can be extorted large sums of money from other places.
Li Su observed the changes in Yizhou City. Su Mo'er saw Li Su's expression from the curtain and said, "Does Your Highness also feel the changes in Yizhou City today, take Mo'er to see." In less than two years, Yizhou's will be able to catch up with Chang'an. ”
"Yes, the people of Yizhou are now living and working in peace and contentment, businessmen gathered, it is really a prosperous scene, when I first came to Yizhou, my father was worried that I would suffer, and now it seems that my father's worries are superfluous." Cui Yingying said.
Listening to the words of his children, Li Su also had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and his busy year was not in vain after all.
The three of them chatted and arrived at Baihuatan, it was now the middle of June, and the weather was still very hot, but when they arrived at Baihuatan, the three of them suddenly felt a chill hit, very comfortable.
Cui Yingying and Su Mo'er got out of the carriage and walked to the lake, accompanied by several maidservants, while Li Su walked beside them.
At this time, the Baihuatan Lake painting boat shuttles like a river, there are many stone benches and stone tables along the Baihuatan, and many literati and ink writers gather together in twos and threes, drinking tea and discussing poetry.
The willows on the side of the lakeside are still in the air, full of greenery, the lake is green and the sky is sparkling, it is really a grand scene, Li Su stands on the lakeside and looks at the panoramic view of Baihuatan, his heart is also moved, and his mood is suddenly relaxed.
Li Su was enjoying the beautiful scenery, and a maid came to tell him that Cui Yingying had found an idle painting boat and asked him to go over, Li Su raised his eyes to look in the direction of the two, and walked over with his feet raised.
On the painting boat, the boatman rowed the boat and took the three of them to the lake, the three of them were at the bow of the boat, Cui Yingying and Su Mo'er sat on one side, commanding the boatman, going to pick lotus seeds for a while, picking water ridges for a while, laughing and laughing.
"Your Highness, here you go!" Cui Yingying put the lotus seeds in Li Yu's hands, there were dozens, and Su Moer shared the lotus seeds in her hand with Cui Yingying.
Li Su pinched a lotus seed and put it in his mouth, the taste was a little sweet, a little astringent, more of a fragrance, pure natural and pollution-free, Li Su ate lotus seeds, thinking that it was not bad to live in this world, although there was no high-tech, but it returned to the original natural state.
He was eating lotus seeds, Cui Yingying suddenly stood up and asked, "Your Highness, did you hear the sound of the flute?" ”
"I heard that, too." Su Mo'er stood up with a lotus pod that had just been taken off, "The sound of this flute is very pleasant, but why is it so poignant." ”
Li Su listened carefully, as if it came from a painting boat not far away, the sound of the flute was clear and pleasant, but it seemed to imply a faint sense of sorrow, and suddenly a person's face flashed in his mind, and he looked at the painting boat in a daze.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Li Su's expression was wrong, Cui Yingying asked.
Li Su came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing! ”
In the painting boat that Li Su was looking at, a veiled woman in white slowly put down the jade flute in her hand, and there was a maid in a green skirt standing next to her. ”
"Well, I know, we'll go back to Suzhou tomorrow." The woman in white said in a low voice, "Hasn't my aunt come back yet?" ”
"No, she asked us to take the first step, saying that she and Xu Junshi still have some things to do." The maid said.
The woman in white nodded, "Let the boatman dock." ”
Cui Yingying and Su Mo'er played in the lake for a while, and suddenly pointed to a Taoist priest holding a hexagram sail on the shore, and said, "Your Highness, let's go and see the face." ”
Li Su doesn't care, anyway, he will accompany the two of them out to play, it is all up to the two of them.
On the shore, the three of them walked towards the Taoist priest, and when they got closer, they saw the appearance of the person clearly, Li Su was slightly surprised, this Taoist priest was really a fairy wind Dao bone, although the beard was white, but his face was ruddy, and his temperament was elegant.
At this time, the Taoist priest was showing a scholar, and the scholar asked, "Daoist, can you calculate for me whether I can be named on the gold list this year." ”
"Can't!" The Taoist priest glanced at the priest a few times and spoke.
The scholar looked unhappy when he heard this, "Old Taoist, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will come back and smash your hexagram sail." ”
The Taoist priest shook his head, "The old Taoist priest never speaks. ”
The young man snorted, dropped a few copper coins and left.
Li Su smiled: "You are an interesting person, other people tell fortunes and say some auspicious words, or some ambiguous words, but you actually say some unlucky words, no wonder there are only a few people to tell fortunes." ”
The old Taoist priest glanced at Li Su and said, "Why should His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu make fun of the old Taoist priest." ”
Cui Yingying and Su Mo'er were shocked when they heard this, and said in unison: "How do you know? ”
"Because we've met!" Li Su was surprised just now because he recognized this old Taoist priest, this Taoist priest is none other than the famous volcano Ling Yuan Tiangang, when he held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Chang'an before, Li Su also saw him, but Li Su was puzzled why this Yuan Tiangang came to Yizhou.
Cui Yingying, the name of Yuan Tiangang, has also heard of it, and Su Mo'er doesn't need to say it.
"Your Highness, I will definitely ask why the old Taoist priest came to Yizhou next, right?" Yuan Tiangang said with a gray beard.
Li Su nodded.
"His Royal Highness should know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince introduced a Taoist to His Majesty, this Taoist claims to be a pure Yang Daoist, and now he is deeply trusted by His Royal Highness, a few days ago he performed some strange spells, his hand into the oil pot without injury, and ignited the rune paper in the air, so that His Majesty Xià was even more shocked by the gods, let him take over the volcano order, the old Taoist understood that he couldn't stay, so he retired and returned home."
When Su Mo'er heard this, she nodded to Li Su, obviously affirming Yuan Tiangang's statement.
The historical record of Yuan Tiangang is miraculous, especially famous for his physiognomy, but Li Su sometimes suspects that this is just Wu Zetian deliberately finding a legitimate reason for his ascension to the throne, and deliberately exaggerating Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy, so as to confirm the monarchy's heavenly authority.
Li Su continued: "What is the opinion of the Dao Chief? "Li Su is referring to the thing that a pure Yang Daoist person bewitched Li Shimin.
Yuan Tiangang said: "The old way watched the sky at night, saw that the purple micro star was weak, seven kills, the greedy wolf star appeared, this greedy wolf star is the star of chaos, these seven killings are a sign that the troubled times will come out, within a few years, the world will be in chaos, Your Royal Highness will be the emperor's relatives at that time, and you should prepare early." ”
Li Su listened to Yuan Tiangang's words, and the feeling in his heart was hard to say, if he was born in ancient times, he might have believed it, but he was born in modern society, let him believe in what Ziweixing, Greedy Wolf Star is indeed a little unreasonable, he rolled his eyes, and asked: "A chance encounter is fate, Yuan Daochang might as well show this king how his face is?" ”
Yuan Tiangang shook his head, "Your Highness doesn't believe the words of the old Taoist priest!" ”
