Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Debate Tournament of the Tang Dynasty (6)

"Lin Aiqing, since I have accepted many of your suggestions, I have naturally allowed you, a Guo Huai-style talent, I have to think about how to reward your 'daughter'!" After thinking about it all day, Li Jing, who was rarely relaxed, suddenly remembered this stubble.

Lin Feng hurriedly knelt on the ground and played: "Wechen has been promoted to the government and the opposition, and he is rewarded with Fengyilang, Wechen is already uneasy, and he is afraid that his talent is insufficient, and he is not enough to repay the emperor's grace." The ministers asked His Majesty not to reward him again, and the ministers were deserved. ”

"You get up, I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, well, you have to participate in the debate competition, the official position is too small to be suitable, in order to avoid the nagging of the imperial history, just like Han Xizai, give it a scarf. Besides, you and your brother and sister are currently renting someone else's house, so I'll give you a courtyard near Miyagi. Li Jing was very satisfied with Lin Feng's posture and opened his mouth to reward him. For him, being able to directly mention the nine-rank officials around him to the third- and fourth-grade high-ranking officials, a small reward like Lin Feng is not worth mentioning.

"Weichen Xie Majesty Longen." Lin Feng was a little surprised at first that Li Jing knew about his living situation, but after thinking about it, he immediately figured it out. He suddenly appeared and approached Li Yu and Li Jing one after another, so naturally someone would check everything about him. If it weren't for the fact that he appeared as an orphan, I am afraid that the genealogy of the eight generations of my ancestors would be dug up and put on the desks of these people.

The big event was decided, and everyone at the scene felt a little tired, but everyone was in good spirits, chatting in the hall in twos and threes.

Lin Feng was pulled by Li Jingsui: "Lin Yilang, let's go back and discuss your military reform test point, today everyone spoke freely and chatted so happily, Jing Sui wanted to ask Lin Yilang what his opinion is on the current military layout of Datang?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lin Feng's thoughts, at most, there are good sentences but no good chapters. In the military, Lin Feng only put forward ideas and directions, and specific measures still have to be explored in practice, and he doesn't dare to talk about opinions! "Lin Feng has too little contact with the army in this era, and if he continues to talk about it, he will really have to play the piano indiscriminately.

"No, I want your good sentence today, not to mention the good chapter first." Li Jingsui still didn't let him go.

"Then Aunt Lin Feng said it in vain, King Qi should listen to it." Lin Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

"Does the King of Qi know where the Han Dynasty was located?" Lin Feng first asked rhetorically.

"The capital of the former Han Dynasty was in Chang'an, and the capital of the Later Han Dynasty was mainly in Luoyang." Li Jing opened his mouth and came immediately. Historically, the Eastern Han Dynasty successively set the capital of Luoyang, Xuchang and Chang'an, of which Luoyang was the capital for 165 years, Xuchang was the capital for 26 years, and Chang'an was the capital for only 5 years.

Regardless of the military strength of the two Han Dynasty for the time being, Lin Feng found an interesting phenomenon when he read history books, which had a lot to do with geography. The former Han Dynasty chose Chang'an, because it was surrounded by plains, there was no danger to defend, and its force must be expanded to the west to Xiliang and north to Yinshan in order to ensure its safety.

The Later Han Dynasty chose Luoyang, because it was surrounded by eight passes such as Tiger Prison and Hangu, which were impregnable, and their national policy would inevitably tend to be conservative externally, and they would adopt a defensive strategy of strong cadres and weak branches, guarding the interior and the outside.

In Lin's view, the choice of different capital locations is only afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to expedition against the Xiongnu in the former Han Dynasty, sealing the wolf Juxu, and Le Shi Yanran, and the Later Han could only be surrounded and beaten by the Xiongqi Xianbei tribe. ”

When Lin Feng said this, he saw Li Jingsui who was deep in thought, and turned the conversation to the city defense of Jinling. "Lin Feng once swam to Qingliang Mountain outside the city, and found that the stone city on it has been abandoned for a long time, and the Jinling city wall is constantly being renovated, if we want to conquer the world like the former Han Dynasty, then the defense system of Jinling City is a bit conservative? What about pushing it to the whole territory of Datang? You must know that offense is the best defense! ”

"That's right." Li Jingsui slapped Lin Feng on the shoulder, attracting the attention of the others in the hall.

"Okay, just rush to your good sentence, I unconditionally support your military reform pilot!" Li Jingsui said excitedly. He insisted on resigning the emperor's younger brother, also because what he really loves is the military, which hot-blooded man doesn't want to do a vigorous career, he let Lin Feng brainwash him so much today, only to find that he still has so many and so lofty choices to do, he is really excited.

Finally finished the preparatory work, watching the sun begin to set in the west, Li Jing and others had already begun to yawn quietly, Lin Feng hurriedly mentioned the last trivial matter:

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent someone from wasting time in the debate competition, Weichen came up with a small method, using the loss of sand as a metaphor for the loss of time, and conceived such a gadget, please make a decision." Lin Feng asked for the two bamboo tubes from Zhang Songtao.

This is a primitive hourglass made by Lin Feng, the middle of the two bamboo tubes is hollowed out and smoothed, and then a bottom is left for each, and a hole is drilled at the bottom of one of the bamboo tubes to facilitate the flow of sand in the bamboo tubes above. According to Lin Feng's rough calculation, it takes about ten minutes for a sand to be lost. While making this hourglass, Lin Feng really experienced the convenience of the afterlife, and the choice of materials for the production of this hourglass alone cost him a lot of time.

Li Jing and the others watched Lin Feng's explanation and demonstration with great interest, and they couldn't help laughing.

Li Jing pointed at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Aiqing, your ideas are very fresh and effective, but you can't help but be a little childish." ”

Seeing that Lin Feng was a little stunned, Li Jing was also excited that he had finally found Lin Feng's "shortcomings and shortcomings", and ordered the eunuch to fetch a few high-grade crystal cups.

"Wouldn't it be better if I could drill a hole in the bottom of this cup and see the sand draining?" Li Jing played with a crystal cup in his hand and said with some pride. Whoever has been fooled and trained by Lin Feng like this for a whole day has to find a way to come back.

"Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen admires." Lin Feng hurriedly patted the sycophants in his mouth, but muttered in his heart, my bamboo tube is used as a brick, just to lure you out of the crystal cup, I am not willing to pay for such an expensive thing!

Lin Feng hugged two scarlet official robes, found Wei San and Li Qiang, who were waiting outside the palace for a long time, and Shi Shiran went home. The big mansion given by the emperor can only be determined after the Ministry of Officials will arrange it tomorrow, compared to a pure honorary scarlet robe, this big mansion is real money, you must know that Lu Dao, "Chang'an is not easy to live", Jinling housing prices are also very high.

As soon as he returned to his small home and pushed open the courtyard door, Lin Feng hadn't seen Yaya and Chen Fei before he was caught by Han Xizai: "Stinky boy, did you sell me to exchange for this colored robe?!" ”

At this time, Han Xizai's head and face were black, his beard was raised, and he was on the verge of madness.
