Lanling's worries are still far away, but Old Man Cheng's worries are close at hand. Unlike before Qin Yu's expedition, I really couldn't give too good advice in the face of Cheng Chu, who was about to move. He was always able to listen to lectures with an open mind, turned his face and left his mind behind, and when he got on the horse, he ignored the bitter advice of these people as a deaf ear, and his efforts were in vain.

Fortunately, with Cao Jun, this can be somewhat reassuring. The old man who sent out Changle Fang did not go to Shangguan Road turned his horse head and went back, and it was not a good luck for the old man to send his grandson on the road. usually has the same expression, the same tone, and kicked a warning when he was about to leave, diluting the sadness of parting a lot, and the sentence "go and go back quickly" makes people feel that Cheng Chu is just going out to play two catties of vinegar, and there is no need for such a grand scene.

The mood is more relaxed, but everyone knows that Cheng Chu's trip is not so simple. Once the Tang army enters combat readiness in Liaodong, the naval army will have to take on the important task of guarding the sea area, and the surrounding forces will never sit idly by and watch the Tang army attack and plunder in Liaodong. The Zhu Zhu tribes fell, the balance of power around them was completely destroyed, and they were facing a reshuffle, and no one except the Tang Empire wanted to see this scene.

The first is Baekje and the interest groups surrounding Baekje, in which the Wa Kingdom is the most active. Geographically, Baekje was the main route to the interior of the Wa Kingdom, and geographically the three parties of the Jin Empire, Baekje, and the Wa Kingdom were the most closely connected, and the Silla allies of the Tang Empire on the peninsula were sandwiched together, forming a helpless military alliance.

The fall of Goryeo in the early years made this geopolitical alliance fragile. Once the Sila is attacked, the slight advantage of these three forces in the local area will be completely overthrown, and the momentum of the Silla entrapment will no longer exist, and the entire deployment will fall into passivity. Without the support of the Lords, Baekje will soon be beaten by Silla, and the Wa Kingdom will lose the opportunity to contact the interior, and the entire coastline will be controlled by the Tang and Silla families.

No one wants to be neighbors with the Tang Empire, Baekje is unwilling, and the Yak is unwilling. The Japanese state will soon face such a choice. Without the barrier of Baekje, there will be countless Tang Empire warships cruising in the adjacent narrow seas, and when you have a whim, you can go to the gate of the Japanese country, or go directly to the door of the Japanese country to talk about the friendship between neighbors and friends, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and there must always be a movement between each other, right?

Heart disease isn't just over there. Silla, an ally, also had concerns about the Tang Dynasty's increase in troops to Liaodong. It is not easy to survive in the cracks, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Yan Dynasty, it is too large for Silla, a country with a large point. The two adults are desperate, but there is a milk boy next to them, you say that it is impossible for this fist to go back and forth, and it is impossible to miss it...... There's nowhere to hide yet.

Originally, the two sides were fighting tepidly, and both sides were within the bearability, and suddenly there was a helper, and it was strange that the opposite side was not desperate. Baekje is the most bitter. Knowing that he is in danger, he can't fight if he doesn't fight, and he plays with his life; In order to avoid the emergence of new neighbors and talk to themselves, the Japanese state is allowed to play with their lives; Not to mention, it was directly listed as the main military target by the superpowers. I can't wait to play with all eight lives. Once this situation is formed, Silla will suffer the most, and Liaodong and the peninsula may open up two fronts at the same time, and the Tang Dynasty sailors will be busy.

Now it looks. The most busy are the diplomatic envoys of the countries concerned, who do not seek to persuade the Tang Empire to die down, and strive to obtain a policy buffer for their countries before the conflict breaks out, which is progress, leaving a glimmer of hope for future development.

Silla has a hardcore face of the Tang Dynasty outside, and the newly inherited throne King Jin Chunqiu used a junior tone towards Li Zhi, while Kindman (Queen Silla Seondeok. Most believe that he died in 647, and the previous biography was in the niece Jin Shengman, and Jin Shengman was in 654 in Jin Chunqiu. However, there are different domestic historical records that Queen Seondeok and her niece Kim Seung-man had a fierce dispute in the court. Forced to abdicate his niece in 647, but he was still in good health, and in 653, he seduced and instigated his nephew Jin Chunqiu to oust his niece Jin Shengman from the throne, and he gained power behind the scenes, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Jin Chunqiu's nephew at the age of forty. Because the historical materials of Silla are different at home and abroad, and the descendants of Silla are good at tampering with and beautifying defects, none of them can be trusted. Compared with the historical materials inherited from the Korean Peninsula, the records of the Chinese people are more prestigious. Her Majesty the Former Queen was not bad at needlework. In the past, when I asked for help, I embroidered a letter asking for help. I can't change the habit of flying needles and wires, and this time it's the same.

Roughly speaking, it has received assistance from Datang over the years. Our companies are also booming, which is very interesting. I'm used to it, so let's do it as a national fitness exercise. I don't dare to worry about you, although the war cannot be subsided for a while, but with the care of the country, it is still easy to deal with. Speaking of the beginning of spring (embroidery is still winter), the Li family Hongfu, Silla has a good income in recent years, and the tribute to the kingdom has also been prepared, once the spring is thawed, it will be escorted to the road immediately.

"Very beautiful woman." Lanling still has a good impression of this former queen of Shande. "It's not a book, it's just an embroidery, and it doesn't matter what is embroidered on it."

"Because the needlework is well done?" I don't have the qualifications to see this thing with my own eyes, but shouldn't I embroider something incoherent and send it in, just as a number? I can't figure out that a dignified queen loves to show off her female popularity so much, and she specially handed it to the emperor of the suzerain. This year I have been particular about this matter, once or twice, and I can't say anything about it every time, anyway, there are women who send me embroidery one after another, and Ying and the second daughter have to carry a knife to kill the door.

"It's okay to tell you about it," Lan Ling said in a very gossipy manner, telling me a story about the past between former heads of state.

Jin Mande succeeded to the throne in the sixth year of Zhenguan, which was the twenty-eighth year, and it is said that he has a graceful figure and is as beautiful as a flower. The change of the monarch of the vassal state, Li Shimin as the scoop handle of course has to mean it, but generally men are the kings, and it is the first time that a woman has appeared, and she is still so young, she doesn't know what to send. I took a picture of a peony and handed it to the envoy, thinking that it would be more appropriate to give this to the eldest girl.

The painting was transmitted to Silla, and Her Majesty the Queen, who was full of youth, liked it very much, and asked the important ministers to appreciate it before hanging it in the hall, and pointed to the three-color peony in the painting: This flower has no fragrance.

Everyone was puzzled and asked. The queen explained: There are no butterflies in the painting, and this flower must have no fragrance. Sure enough, the peony flowers introduced from Chang'an had no fragrance when they were in full bloom, and the ministers praised the queen for her intelligence.

Since then, Queen Seondeok has never mentioned marriage, and if her subordinates ask, they will only smile at the painting. ordered the whole country to follow the Tang costumes, practice Tang etiquette, learn Chinese characters, and use a country name with the Tang Dynasty, all with the suzerainty as an example, and he has never married in his life.

I don't know what to do, just send a painting, what does it have to do with getting married?

"The giver has no intention. I want to collect it. Lan Ling covered his mouth and chuckled, and poked me at the back of the head with a horizontal finger, "You, you men, always come and go like the wind, when did you know that you are considerate of women's hearts?" ”

"Don't talk about me, I don't have that much ability. If you send a painting, you won't get married, I'll give you eight paintings. ”

"Go. Wicked! "I'm used to joking with Lanling, it doesn't matter if I say this, but Queen Silla is different, she has to always figure out what the king of the kingdom means, and be a neighbor with such a behemoth. If one is not careful, he may lose his country and his family. Li Shimin sent the painting casually, but the queen of Silla thought that the flowers without fragrance and the painting without butterflies were a metaphor for her life, and it was the monarch of the Tang Kingdom who bullied the woman's family and teased her with a painting.

Even so. The queen also has to agree, hanging this painting is not a marriage match is to reply to the king of the Tang Kingdom, which means that this flower-like age will be guarded by Your Majesty, although you can't serve in the near future, but you can be regarded as a husband and wife in the painting in the distance...... Listening to the local people's hearts scratching, strange and ambiguous.

No wonder I don't use paper and pen to say hello here, only embroidery, and pass a needle and thread when I hand over a word. Don't say it, the Li family here eats this set. When Silla was beaten by Goryeo and Baekje, the queen shouted 'Husband help', and the army on this side immediately drove over to relieve the siege, and finally relieved the trouble, Li Zhi easily wiped out Goryeo, and the queen was satisfied, and she didn't say a word for a long time, and happily fought with her niece for power.

The only thing I can't figure out is this generation. to Li Shimin as a painting mother-in-law. can also embroider for Li Zhi, which is a bit indescribable. Maybe the queen of Silla thinks that she is marrying the king of the country, regardless of her generation, just her identity. Chaos, country to country, king and king, all are so boring, to say that the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is different, just I sat in the princess's house like this, and put aside other dynasties to unload eight pieces of meat stalls, or the Tang Dynasty!

Speaking of embroidery, Lanling must be better than the queen, sugarcane is more blessed than me, Lanling's craftsmanship is used on him, if I dare to bring back half of it, I will have to be criticized for a while, until I get angry and become unreasonable.

In the end, it is estimated that Ying is planning to make me a big man, and she can always proudly accuse me of being annoyed and angry, and then hug nine catties and shake it in front of me. What's the way, kill the pig after watching the village with a nine-pound top, the screaming of the killing, occasionally with a sharp knife in the neck, spurting blood all over the yard is still very lively. Jiujin also likes this noodle, the sound of calling is louder than the pig, and the pig often dies of depression without face, and is regarded as a celestial man by the butchers for a while.

There is a saying: one person kills a pig and the whole family enjoys happiness, and the pig's head and water are all the butchers' part. In recent years, the pigs in the Zhuangzi are atmospheric, and there is a big difference from the previous years before the killing, slaughtering a mouthful and keeping their own share, and then pulling a few workshops to sell out in the morning, casually Zhuangzi can smell the aroma of cooking meat when you go around.

"Loser!" The old man who squatted on the threshold picked up the meat slices in the bowl and stuffed them into his grandson's mouth, while counting the extravagant behavior of his son who had nothing to do to buy meat, "The money on my body is handed over to my daughter-in-law, and it will be ruined if you take it, but what kind of meat is it!" ”

The son was filial and bowed his head and went in, and the second lady laughed from afar, and swayed a few pigs into the water in his hand.

"What are you laughing at? The old man was right. Seeing that you go out with your left hand and in your right hand a day, if you don't have a strong pill formula, the money for the two is not enough for you to waste. Stretched out his leg and kicked it, and lifted the nine catties on his neck, "Hurry back, be careful that your mother-in-law picks you up again!" ”

The second lady is now a small fortune east, hawthorn pills sell well, the fourth child pays him the rent of the three-run formula in January, and the family also buys the same thing, and the small courtyard with green bricks and green tiles is also a family with a head and a face in Zhuangzi. He added a good horse and a good saddle for more than ten years, and the mother-in-law hated that she almost cut the horse with a knife, and he was so frightened that he took refuge in Dr. Zhou's livestock shed overnight. Now it's not much different from confiscation, and yesterday I saw another nursing home riding a second lady's BMW on the official road, and everyone loves to use it.

The livestock shed in charge of Dr. Zhou has long been famous, not only in the nearby Zhuangzi, but also in the local area, and he has to run towards the Wang's Zhuangzi. As soon as it is the season of matching livestock, there is an endless stream of people on the road who led the cattle and horses to the Wangjia Zhuangzi, Dr. Zhou is a good person, has the ability not to hide, the feed ratio and feeding times of different livestock have taken the hydrated lime pimple and wrote it on the big wooden board in front of the stable. If you know the words, you will remember, if you don't know the questions, you will be answered, whether it is a human disease or an animal disease, no matter how far the road is, you will be on call, rain or shine.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, if you say that you do good, you are the eldest lady of the Wang family, and when you say that you accumulate virtue, you must be Dr. Zhou. Although Steward Qian shows his face the most times, he is strict with his subordinates. Everyone is afraid of him, and he shouts that the fat man is coming! Wow, even the dog ran away.

The housekeeper was busy now, and he didn't have time to take care of the disheveled second lady, so he led a group of entourages in and out of the village. Mr. Gao, who studied agriculture, personally guided the process of digging caves and raising mushrooms, and the housekeeper would be disgusted with his subordinates for a while, and he would not listen to the call of laborers to eat dry rice; Coming and going like the wind, it always feels like he is in charge of everything. At such an age, the more you live, the more energetic you become.

"Duck Duck Duck Duck ......" The nine catties on the top of his head fluttered vigorously in the direction of the pond, and the child had always spoken so simply and concisely.

The Yun family took advantage of the convenience of the pond and began to raise ducks since last year. In and out of the water, Jiujin likes this noodle the most, and he pulled my hair and turned in the direction of the pond.

Chen Kee Fish Farm, which opened last year, has been in operation for half a year, and business has been bleak for a while after the initial boom has passed. With the passage of time, the source of customers gradually stabilized.

People with status eat that is a curiosity, two meals in the past and no fresh feeling, a few chopsticks in a pot to stir and it is not elegant, this year and not happy dinner table giggling nonsense, a few people stuffy a basin to pull the extremely boring, daily meals, banquets or exquisite dishes.

Ordinary people are different, because the price of fish is cheaper than that of poultry, eggs, pigs and sheep, and it does not cost much. The taste is also acceptable, and the children of small and medium-sized families who often come are well-off, and friends are happy to eat and drink in a pot, mostly with students, businessmen, and government grassroots workers as the main force. If you have a family and want to change your taste, you will come here to buy some pot ingredients, go to the market to weigh some fresh fish and fiddle with it yourself, and enjoy yourself behind closed doors.

Judging from the big account of the fish village, most of the profits are from wine and bottom materials. It's really said that vegetables, vegetables, fish and meat can't make a lot of money. But it solved the problem of difficulty in selling fish to Wang Zhuangzi. Every day, the two fish ponds come and go, and the small carts of the fish selling ground are continuous, and it is very common to weigh the fresh fish back to serve the vegetables when they go to the temple fair. There is no longer the worry of dozens of catties of fish essence growing in the fish pond.

With the entry of fresh fish, Yun Yatou knows how to use the limited water resources, and there are many miscellaneous fish in her fish pond. I don't dare to think that a few years ago, the innocent Yun family was prosperous under the control of a little girl. Chickens, ducks, eggs and fish, hundreds of acres of lotus root ponds, adjacent to the big lotus root flour workshop on the river, the old mansion that has been renovated several times is radiant and victorious.

Speaking of which, this is all forced, not to mention natural disasters, and the well-known Mrs. Dashan of the Wang family is next to each other, and the ordinary people have collapsed early. With wisdom and hard work, gritted her teeth to survive, and saw the sun through the clouds, the endless joy was written on that rosy smiling face, and the earth cloud girl looked healthy and upright under the sunset.

Jiujin has a good impression of this aunt who is full of sun, this kind of temperament is not possessed by the delicate and expensive two mothers in the family, and the big family is used to being pampered and lacks vitality.

"It's okay this year, right?" took the reluctant nine catties from Yun Yatou's arms and put them on her neck again, "I heard them say that the Yun family's poultry egg shop is about to open, and when the time comes, say hello, the happy event can't be missed." ”

"Small façade, the eldest brother of the Wang family will not pay attention to it." Yun Yatou leaned on the willow tree on the shore embarrassedly, "Last time, the old general Su brought the duck boiled by the little girl to the right person, and asked his old man to set up a storefront in the lantern market." ”

"Oh, good thing. In fact, every time you have to run so far, just start a house in Zhuangkou, now we have many workshops in Zhuangzi, and it is convenient to pull and slaughter, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sell. The two rows of doors adjacent to Nan Jinchang are good, if you have this plan, I will be the master for you. "Lantern City is on the main road of the outer city circle, and the boundary is good, but there are too many things that need to be supported inside, and a girl's family is afraid that they will not be able to cope with it.

Yun Yatou hurriedly thanked her and politely excused herself. The villagers in the township are also famous big families nearby, and having a big shop in the city is a prosperous family business, but it is not necessarily the case that the villagers are surrounded by Zhuangzi to do business, and they can't pull their faces down. After all, the two younger brothers are both older, and they studied with the Zhang brothers of the Guogong Mansion, so it is not good to make the younger brothers lose face because of this matter.

Speaking of which, people in this era think strangely and don't force it. According to Ying's calculations, the Yun family is now easily earning thousands of dollars a year, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family, and they can't look down on the profits in the Zhuangzi, so it is better to let the farmers earn it themselves. Speaking of Zhuangzi, there are less than 300 households, but now it is far more than that, and it is a lot of money if you really plan to do this business.

"Then you have to sort out the details and report it to the officials again, so as not to gossip about others." I remember that it was 273 households, and after 300 households, it became more systematic.

"I'm afraid there are 700 households, and the concubine is worried here. It doesn't hurt to have dozens of more households, and when the Yun family was merged, there were more than 100 households in the past, but there were more and more relatives and friends who took refuge with the Zhuang family, saying that it was the Wang family's Zhuangzi and not planting the Wang's land, saying that it was not, and a few workshops went in and out every day. If you report it, it will cause trouble, and if you don't report it, it's a heart disease. ”

"Just us?"

"Let's talk about it. It's easy to catch up, but it's not human. Ying reluctantly closed the register, "There are many workshops in our family, and my husband will think of a way, I heard that this year the household department has begun to verify the household registration, and it will be a matter of a few months." ”

You have to think about it, this is a big deal in these years, and you can be ruthless when you catch it.
