Chapter Seventy-Four: The Statue of Li Shimin
The old ancestor watched the excitement for a while, and fell asleep, Liu Fan ordered someone to bring a blanket to cover the old ancestor, and then carried the old ancestor home.
Walking out of the ancestor's house, Liu Fan stretched a long waist, the moment he just carried the ancestor, it felt like carrying a child, the ancestor was too light, there was no meat on his body at all, and now he likes to eat soft things like cakes, Liu Fan is actually very afraid of what burden what she eats now will cause to her body, every winter, the ancestor seems to have passed a ghost gate, and he is getting older and older year by year.
I still remember the roar of the ancestors when I returned to the village, but now the ancestors don't like to talk more and more, often sitting alone at the door and smiling at the passers-by, and want to sleep when the sun shines warmly.
This is very similar to his deceased grandmother, who was like this back then, and her health became worse and worse in the last few years, and on the day of the college entrance examination, her grandmother was also tortured by illness and left this world.
With a sigh, she turned to look at the old ancestor's house, and decided to spend more time with this old man in the future, no matter what, she treated herself like a descendant.
This year is the last day of the statue of Li Shimin, which lasted two years, and really counted up to a year, the statue of Li Shimin finally stood on the ground, the fountain was in the middle of the village, and the statue of Li Shimin was also the tallest building in the village, which was carved out of a huge piece of rock, and there were actually many flaws in it when you looked closely, but it was still brave and powerful from a distance.
The horses of the divine horse, Yang Kai's hooves seemed to kick away the enemy in front of him, and as if he wanted to lead the Tang Dynasty to the prosperous era, the slightly open horse's mouth, as if he let out a passionate roar, and Li Shimin sat on the horse, reined in the horse with one hand, and pointed the long sword in the direction of the Turks with the other, as if to tear apart the enemy in front of him and as if he was ambitious and ready to sweep all the countries in the world.
Liu Fan circled around Li Shimin's statue for a long time, looked at the fence around him that was also erected, and said with a smile: "The fence can be removed, but before it is removed, cover all this statue with a red cloth, and wait until the peach blossoms are all in full bloom and the red curtain is unveiled when the flow of people is the largest!" ”
Chen Erxi, who was in charge of supervising the construction, said: "The official family also told the statue before, saying that it is necessary for the official family to participate in the public!" ”
Liu Fan frowned and said, "That official? ”
"It's Honglu Temple Qing Tang Jian!"
Liu Fan gasped and said, "What did he say? ”
Chen Erxi smiled bitterly: "I ordered someone to come over and say it today, he knew our progress, and when he saw that it was completed, he sent someone to inform him, saying that he was going to do it big, and if he didn't come, he would have to go through the procedures of the Ministry of Rites!" ”
Liu Fan blinked and said, "Doesn't that mean that Your Majesty will also come over?" ”
Chen Erxi was stunned and said directly: "Then I'll go home and burn incense!" ”
Liu Fan kicked Chen Erxi away, looked at the tall statue of Li Shimin and muttered: "It's too big, it's just a statue, and the court attaches so much importance to it!" ”
Originally, the expected sycophant was to pat Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin gave the village more convenience, but I didn't expect the court to start paying attention to this matter, it seems that the court wanted to use this statue to explain something, and he couldn't figure it out and found Li Yifu and Ma Zhou, one of these two people was supervising water conservancy, and the other was studying the sales of roadside stalls.
After listening to Liu Fan's speculation, the two said: "According to the current scale, Linjia Village is no longer a county, and the court wants to use this place to inspire the people, and a statue represents the people's aspirations!" ”
Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this matter can be placed on the court, which shows that the court has begun to pay attention to the development model of Linjia Village, after all, now Linjia Village has not reached out to ask the court what he wanted, but gave the court convenience everywhere, as far as I know, the entire Tang Dynasty is only here, and Liu Fan has also written a song to His Majesty about the development of the village, I think, this matter is estimated to be a pry point!" ”
Liu Fan said helplessly: "If this is the case, it is better not to have this statue, this village has the development plan of this village, if it is forced to intervene, it is estimated that it will be difficult to say in the future!" ”
Ma Zhou was in a good mood, and it was value to be able to enter the eyes of the court bosses through this matter, and when he heard Liu Fan's words, he immediately said: "No, this village is estimated to not be replaced, who can be replaced above the court?" Now the conquest of the Turks is the top priority, the development of the village is just accidental, everything here has your shadow, if you want to send someone to replace it, no one can replace it, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, do well is deserved, do not do well, look at it, the end is absolutely miserable! ”
Li Yifu nodded and said: "Yes, then we have to consider another thing now, why Tang Jian came over, you have to know what Tang Jian's identity is!" ”
Ma Zhou added: "The real family, the five generations are all capable officials, and they have a good relationship with the Emperor and His Majesty. ”
Liu Fan's eyes didn't blink when he listened, he looked at Li Yifu, and when he saw Li Yifu nodding, he said: "Then hurry up and arrange it, and then order someone to consult Honglu Temple to see how Honglu Temple is arranged!" ”
Ma Zhou went down to arrange, and Li Yifu began to sort out the entire village, and all the dishonest ones were taken into custody, either given warnings or driven away.
Liu Fan is not idle, it is the first time to be able to introduce the village so formally, some damaged places on the road need to be paved again, some sanitation also needs to be taken care of, and some people's clothing must also be standardized.
While being busy, Zheng also began to constantly suggest that Liu Fan go to the edge of Weishui or Qujiang to try his luck, the little lady who dares to come here to step on the spring is the best choice, don't worry about choosing the wrong person, but if you look at the last one, according to Zheng's words, you don't want this old face to go home.
Liu Fan had no choice but to ride a horse and take Liu An and the Zheng family to the Qujiang River.
At the beginning of spring, the earth is full of vitality, the tender green grass seems to be able to drip oil, the lush trees are straight to the sky, especially the distant mountains are like a strong young man, want to break free from the shackles of the world, and constantly burst out of strong vitality.
All the way to the Qujiang River, there are horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, but without exception, heavy curtains are used to cover the scenery inside the cars.
There are also many literati, but most of them stay on the side of the road to point out the country, splashing ink and brush, wanting to show their best side.
Liu Fan yawned, drowsy on the horse, there were a lot of things in the village last night, he slept late, got up early, and now he was most sleepy when he was bumped on the horse.
