"Wow, bmm...

A fast horse galloped on the official road, and behind it was the yellow sand.

"Eight hundred miles of urgency, idlers avoid, gold medals, and those who resist die!"

The scout roared loudly, fearing that some of the refugees along the way would go crazy with hunger, and that he would be thinking about the horse of the inn under his crotch.

Just a few days ago, he found that the victims in many places had eaten even the grassroots, and the people began to eat each other's children, and finally they gathered on the official road and directly attacked and plundered the passing caravans.

The caravans were also quite numerous, and the goods, though valuable, were worthless in the eyes of the refugees, who were concerned about the rations of the caravans and the horses they used to haul the goods.

Each caravan has its own guard, and each of the guards who follow the long-distance trade is skilled and first-class. However, in front of the dense number of refugees who lost their minds, the tigers couldn't stand the wolves, and the caravan was engulfed in a blink of an eye... ，

Chang'an City,

Daxing Palace.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, looking at the eight-hundred-mile urgent document sent back by Cheng Yanjin from Youzhou, moody, staring at the small black bag in front of him for a long time.

After a tea time, Li Shimin seemed to have made a choice, handed the letter to the eunuch next to him, asked him to convey the contents of the letter, and then handed it to his humerus minister to discuss.

An old eunuch with no beard and a white appearance bowed his head to take the letter, and after quickly reading the contents of one side at a glance and ten lines, he read out all the contents in a rather harsh tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following is the latest news from Youzhou, and there are four main things!"

"The first thing is: the Turks invaded the whole of Danzhou, Liaoxi was besieged, Yanzhou surrendered to the enemy, and the chief administrator Wei Xiaojie lost contact! It is possible that the Turkic cavalry moved south to Youzhou or east to Yuyang County. ”

"The second thing is: Yang Ming, the son of Hongnong Yang, persuaded Feng Li, the general of the Yiyu Guard, to lead the people to surrender and help pacify the rebels in Youzhou, and Feng Li is on his way back to Beijing by being escorted!"

"The third thing is: Yang Ming, the son of Hongnong Yang, created a series of reform inventions such as Quyuan plow, flowing water simple car, ox set, cow nose hole traction method, refining refined salt, etc., to enhance the national strength of the Tang Dynasty."

"The fourth thing is: Yang Ming, the son of Hongnong Yang, speculated that the Turks still had plans to continue to invade the Tang Dynasty on a large scale, and his brother Sun Simiao entered the Jingmian Saint to analyze the reasons for the saint in detail. . . ."

Before the eunuch finished speaking, the court fryed!

"This Cheng fat man has never reported in person since he became the leader, and this time he only arrived in Youzhou, there are so many, and each of them is still a big event!"

"Who is this Hongnong Yang Ming?! Why are three of Su Guogong's four major events related to him? ”

"The Sun Simiao mentioned in the fourth thing, is it Doctor Sun?! Is it still the same name and surname? ”

"I think it's possible that it's just the same name and surname, think about it, as a son of a family, how big can his brother be!"

"May I ask the Holy Lord, is that little black bag also sent by Su Guogong, what is it inside?!"

Shang Shu's right servant shot Feng Deyi holding the jade plate, and asked curiously.

Generally speaking, only the heads of enemy generals and valuables from other countries sent from the front line can be placed on the dragon table, or the captured king of a country can ascend to the main hall.

But what is a little black pouch?

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Feng Deyi's words, and they raised their heads cautiously, and quietly glanced at the small black bag on the dragon chair curiously.

Ordinary people usually dare to directly criticize Li Shimin and admonish him for all kinds of bad deeds after he ascended the throne. But there are very few people who dare to look directly at the dragon chair above the court, this is Confucianism at work, and they have committed the great crime of seeing no king!

The reason why Feng Deyi can mix well above the court is that he has a unique advantage. As a veteran of the two dynasties, I just captured from Li Shimin's subtle expression that the fourth thing is definitely not simple.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make Li Shimin sullen based on the battle situation in Danzhou alone, and Feng Li's surrender can be described as a major event to stabilize the military power of the Tang Dynasty! Even if ten Danzhou are lost, they can't be replaced.

For today's plan, I can only take the lead by myself, help Li Shimin stabilize the court, let the subjects below see a rising Tang Dynasty, and increase Li Shimin's control over the court.

So he led the topic to the small black bag on the dragon table.

Among the officials who are qualified to participate in the early dynasty, how many are not human spirits!

They were a little confused about Feng Deyi's lack of mentioning Feng Li's matter, but instead being interested in the little black bag, but they still chose to agree. After all, it's good to enjoy the shade by leaning on a big tree, and Feng Deyi is still a towering tree!

"Look, there really is a small black bag on the emperor's dragon table!"

"Could this be the improved invention called Yang Ming?!"

"No way, the salt cube is solid, and that little black bag looks like a powdery thing!"

Fang Xuanling despised this group of people who had no virtue and no talent, and had a kind of shameful mentality, just standing aside, silently, watching how the old minister Feng Deyi cooperated with Li Shimin's performance.

At this time, Li Shimin was still sitting on the dragon chair and still looking like he was going to die, as if he was going to work in order to cope with the sex punch clock, and he couldn't arouse any interest.

In fact, Li Shimin put on such a stinky face, which was secretly urging Feng Deyi and other ministers to quickly solve the mess in the early dynasty, and he still had important things to do.

Just when the eunuch read the holy decree, he, Li Shimin, had already deduced it countless times in his heart. It is true that Luo Yi, the king of Yanjun, has the possibility of plotting rebellion and rebellion, and there are great security risks in the Chang'an area!

Li Shimin opened the small black bag, poured out a large handful of fine white particles from it, grabbed a small poke in the exclamation of everyone, and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

"Hmm!"

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened, a little incredible!

This refined salt melts in the mouth, the taste is salty and bitter, and it feels much better than the salt block, and it is slightly mobilized with the tongue and has a hint of sweetness.

"Your Majesty, no! You can't risk yourself! ”

"Your Majesty, let the old minister try it for Your Majesty first!"

"Your Majesty, you have to take the country's society as the priority, you can't come nonsense!"

Li Shimin tried a mouthful of refined salt, and the ministers below knelt down, and everyone sweated for Li Shimin's actions! If this Yang Ming is uneasy and kind, then wouldn't they have to change the emperor again, so can their current position be stable?!

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling and saw that he still didn't move, so he put his hands in his sleeves and began to close his eyes to recuperate. Since the emperor is willing to act, let him act by himself, anyway, if he doesn't tell the reason for the matter, he doesn't want to mix it up.

Li Shimin looked at the refined salt in front of him proudly, put the matter of the large-scale Turkic invasion behind, and smiled happily:

"Hahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, Su Guogong has tried this refined salt in advance, and I let people put it on the dragon table! It's just that I can't imagine that Su Guogong, a lucky general, can find such a rare talent for me even if he leads troops to fight. ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin made another move that stunned everyone, and even core figures such as Feng Deyi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Chigong stood up to oppose it.

"Someone, the purpose! Yang Ming, the son of the Yang family of Hongnong, who can refine refined salt for the Tang Dynasty, is the founder of the county as the male of the founding county of Dai County, with 300 households in the food district, and is given a five-grade official position! ”

It's fryer again!

It is estimated that when Li Yuan heard this, he had to slap Li Er from Taiji Palace with his pants up!

It's really crazy, and you will be knighted when you come out?!

"Your Majesty, the knighthood is a big trouble, and the Yang family has made meritorious contributions in refining refined salt, but it still hasn't reached the point of being knighted, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Fang Xuanling was the first to kneel and worship.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with Zhongshuling's opinion!"

As a counselor, Wei Zheng, although it is an exciting thing for his nephew to be knighted, in the face of great rights and wrongs, he still chose to stand out to support Fang Xuanling!

"Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal and did not agree with the knighthood!"

Feng Deyi is also blindfolded, what kind of operation is Li Shimin, I knew that I would have to call myself sick and rest at home in advance this morning, this young king has added drama to himself again, Lao Tzu can't keep up with the rhythm!

"Weichen seconded!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

The court officials, who had just gotten up, habitually knelt down with the trend again!

Li Shimin's face raised, looking at the kneeling room at the bottom, he was proud, Lao Tzu wanted to borrow Yang Ming's hand and let you two old foxes come out to work, no one can stay out of this mess now!

Under the instruction of Li Shimin's eyes, the eunuch raised the dust and roared:

"Silence! Above the court, An Neng is so presumptuous! ”

The ministers were like meatballs in boiling water, rising one after another, and after tidying up their official uniforms, they stood in place like wood.

"Tokugawa, take down these refined salts, let you Aiqing taste them, and let them evaluate whether this kid surnamed Yang is worthy of being knighted!"

The eunuch next to Li Shimin is called Tokugawa, and his ancestral home is also from Hebei Province. Earlier, when he heard Li Shimin tell Guanyin that Yang Ming was thousands of miles away, went through hardships to trade grain in the Khitan and transported it to his hometown for disaster relief, he had a great impression of this young man.

If Li Shimin can be awarded the title of Yang Ming, he will not object, and the person who can wholeheartedly benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty is better than the rotten Confucianism who doesn't understand most in the court.

"No! Minions obey! ”

Tokugawa carefully picked up the board and put it on his chest with both hands, for fear that a gust of wind would blow the refined salt away.

He held his head high, and took the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize him, and presented them to the core figures above the court one by one to taste. The arrogant appearance was as if the refined salt was refined by him himself, which amused Li Shimin on the dragon chair.

"Hmmm! Your Majesty, the refined taste of refined salt can indeed increase appetite and add flavor to our daily diet, but this cannot be the reason why Yang Ming is named the founder of the county! ”

After Fang Xuanling and others tried, they were full of praise for Yang Ming's refined refined salt, and the officials who failed to get the refined salt were hungry, but they still agreed that Yang Ming's merits were not enough to be knighted!

Li Shimin secretly read all the secret letters placed between his legs, was shocked, and quickly changed his words:

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, Yang Ming's son cannot be crowned as the founder of the county, at least he must be crowned as the founder of the county, with 500 households and awarded the official position of the fifth grade."

After listening to this, Du Ruhui collapsed directly. Just because Lao Tzu doesn't want to speak doesn't mean that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to play, why haven't you woken up in the morning, right?!

Cheng Yanjin is a great person, and he usually chats with no seriousness, and often exaggerates, so Li Shimin only chose to read the first half of the secret letter after receiving his 800-mile expedited.

But after he had tasted the salt and read all the secret letters, he almost jumped up from the dragon chair.

This Yang Ming can not only refine refined salt at a low cost to benefit the people of Datang, but also increase the output of the transformed farm tools by 20% on the premise of reducing half of the farmers...
