- This winter, Luoyang has not seen a single rain or snow since the palace change. On that dry and cold morning, Tang Song followed Di Renjie and others to the ten-mile pavilion outside the main gate of Luoyang City.
Walking in front of him, in addition to the two husbands, Di Renjie and Li Zhaode, there were also three or two veterans who could be called the backbone of Li's party in the court. Although this group of people was not large in number, they all weighed a lot. Fortunately, none of them were wearing official attire, otherwise any one of them would have alerted the Jingzhao Yamen and sent out guards to alert them, and they would also sound alarm gongs from a distance to remind the people to stay away. .
Unless they know the inside story, I¡¯m afraid no one will believe that these busy and fuming ministers came out of the city to greet a young girl.
The girl whose maiden name is Yunlu and whom Tang Song calls "Crystal" returns to Luoyang today.
Theoretically speaking, even a princess is not enough for the two husbands, Di Renjie and Li Zhaode, to come together to welcome her. This should be the responsibility of Zongren Temple, but they insist on doing so, so Zongren Temple can only withdraw to The princess prepared the ceremonial guards, flags, drums, musicians, etc., and allowed Duke Di and others to do as they pleased.
Arriving at Shili Changting Pavilion, Di Renjie looked far away and saw no carriages or horses in front of him. After Di Renjie ordered the commander to go out to check, he walked to the wheat field beside the official road and squatted down while waiting.
The weather has been dry for some time, and many cracks have begun to appear in the dry wheat field. Di Renjie reached into the wheat field and touched it. A lot of soil had begun to clump into lumps. Even after his fingers were deeply embedded in the soil, there was no moisture at all. .
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? to finally picking up a wheat seed from the ground. There was no trace of germination at all. At this point, Di Renjie's eyebrows began to frown deeply.
Seeing this, Li Zhaode, who was following him, comforted him: "Brother Wenying, don't worry. Although there is a drought in the field at this time, as long as there are a few good rains after the spring next year, nothing will be delayed. It will still be a good harvest year."
¡°What if the rain next spring doesn¡¯t work either?¡±
Li Zhaode was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he lowered his voice and asked softly: "Could it be Qin Tianjian"
Di Renjie shook his head, "I'm just worried. We can't ask for destiny, so let's do our best. When we go back later, we will go to all the counties and counties to help them use the winter slack time to dredge irrigation ditches and dig deep into farm wells. You can also start from Dali Temple. We also allocate some personnel from various ministries in the imperial city and send them out to inspect and implement this matter. The northern Taoists should pay more attention to it, especially the Guanzhong Plain near Chang'an, Xijing, and they cannot be careless in the slightest."
As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, an old minister next to him twirled his beard and said: "It was arranged by Wenying. The saint just ascended the throne not long ago. This is the first year after the return of the world to Li and Tang Dynasties. There will be a severe drought! I would rather be trivial now than to Do things ahead of time to prepare for a rainy day.¡±
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
When Tang Song heard this, his heart moved. He came forward and talked about the Quyuan plow and the promotion of intensive farming methods.
As early as the establishment of Tongke, Tang Song established the agricultural science in it. Although this agricultural science was based on the "Qi Min Yaoshu", a comprehensive agricultural science of the Six Dynasties, as the teaching material, Tang Song was not one to stand still.
So far. Agricultural science in general subjects mainly does two things. The first is the improvement of plows. Based on the original straight-shaft plow that has been used for more than a thousand years, a more energy-saving animal power was invented. Secondly, he ordered people to begin to systematically summarize the intensive agricultural farming methods of Jiangnan Dao, and intended to promote this more advanced farming method in the north.
Quyuanli appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It is actually one of the epoch-making agricultural tool innovations in the history of Chinese agricultural development; and the method of intensive farming that first sprouted in the late Six Dynasties marked a major change in agricultural production methods. In the Tang Dynasty, which was still a typical agricultural society, if these two new tools and new production methods that represented the most advanced development direction of productive forces could be fully promoted, it would surely lay the most solid foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty reached a height that had never been reached in history.
Quyuan plow has been successfully trial-produced and tested. Before Tongke moved, it even distributed more than a thousand tools for free in the suburbs of Luoyang. After such a long period of deliberate efforts, the method of intensive farming has been systematically summarized and can be officially promoted. And this was the reason why Tang Song was able to step forward and tell Di Renjie about this matter at this time.
When he finished introducing the new things that these two general sciences had spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on, Tang Song was already elated. Compared with those poems, this was something that could really bring huge benefits to the times and the people. Productivity changes.
But to his surprise, although Di Renjie listened attentively, he was not as surprised as he had imagined, and instead had a look of regret on his face.
No matter how good new tools and new production methods are, without the imperial court,If it is widely promoted, its effectiveness will be very limited. Seeing Di Renjie's expression, Tang Song felt anxious and hurriedly added: "In addition to saving manpower and animal power, the curved shaft plow can plow the ground deeper, which is naturally beneficial to the water and moisture conservation of the land; as for the method of intensive farming, it was originally intended to More efficient use of land, agricultural fertilizers and water irrigation is also a good way to combat drought. Please think twice."
Hearing this, Di Renjie frowned deeply. It has been nearly a hundred years since the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty settled in Chang'an. The geographical area has not expanded much over the past hundred years, but the population has doubled. With the massive increase in population, the amount of grantable land controlled by the imperial court has long since bottomed out. The land equalization system implemented in the early years of the dynasty has actually existed in name only, and the military system that relied on the land equalization system has also reached the edge of collapse. .
The number of acres of land has not changed much, but the population is increasing day by day. The result is that the number of landless farmers, the so-called refugees, is increasing all over the world. There are only two ways to solve this contradiction. One is to expand the territory; the other is to improve the efficiency of current land use and use the same land to produce more food to feed more people.
??In the original history, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty frequently launched foreign wars in the middle and late periods of his reign. Although subjectively there was a reason for success, objectively it was also a last resort to deal with population expansion. But facts have proven that the strategy of simply relying on expanding territory to solve the population problem is not successful. The strength of the army expanded too quickly in this process. In the end, it transformed into an uncontrollable monster and backfired on the Tang Dynasty itself.
Even though it took eight years to put down the Anshi Rebellion, the disaster of military-separated vassal towns continued until the end of the Tang Dynasty, and became one of the three main causes of the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
?This can be used as a guide to the existence of previous cars. Taking the initiative to reform productivity within Datang was a more effective way to resolve demographic conflicts. There is less bloodshed, the cost to society is lower, and the increase in social wealth is tangible and tangible.
How could Di Renjie not know these simple truths? But it was difficult for him to make a decision to promote this matter now.
Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, the empire belonged to Li Tang Zhengshuo. From a political perspective, implementing any kind of change now, even one that does not seem risky, may trigger political turmoil
After a long time, in Karamatsu¡¯s eager eyes. Di Renjie said slowly: "Farming and mulberry trees are the foundation of the world. It is very good for you, Tang Song, to be diligent in farming. However, the time has not come yet, so it is not appropriate to rush this matter."
Seeing Karamatsu, what else could he say? Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Haste leads to waste."
Seeing this, Karamatsu took a long breath and turned around to withdraw from the crowd.
It is true that Di Renjie is a famous minister and a good official, but unfortunately he has too many obsessions in his heart, and now the only thing he thinks about most is Li Tang. As a result, one leaf obscured my eyesight, and Mount Tai was no longer visible.
However, if we look at it according to the standards of the dynasty, the more he behaves like this, the more loyal he becomes and the more his reputation as a famous minister increases. this world. Sometimes it's like a ridiculous stage play, where it's hard to distinguish right from wrong.
A miserable winter day. Tang Song stood alone on the side of the Ten Mile Pavilion and looked around at the field with no green seedlings. He missed the bedridden Lu Yuanfanglai more and more in his heart.
"The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important." At this moment, Tang Song had a deep understanding of the weight of this sentence. It also made it clearer how difficult it was for Lu Yuanfang, as an official in the feudal era, to say and adhere to such words.
Among the hundreds of thousands of officials in Fang today, although Lu Yuanfang's reputation and status are not as good as those of Di Renjie, in Tang Song's heart, the old man known as "Gentleman" makes him feel closer to him from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, Lu Yuanfang never gave Tang Song any personal gain. On the contrary, because of the tasks he assigned, Tang Song not only worked hard but also caused a lot of trouble.
This closeness has nothing to do with self-interest. It is the inspirational power that comes naturally from the broad mind of a dying old man.
Peaches and plums, the next from Seikei. It should be so!
Just when Tang Song was thinking about Lu Yuanfang, the officer Di Renjie sent out to investigate came back, and there was another person who came with him.
This man Tang Song knew, he was one of the six retired soldiers of the Forbidden Army who were sent to protect him when he sent the crystal out of the capital.
The old soldier¡¯s complexion was iron-faced, and his lips, especially his hands, had obvious chapped skin. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot along the way, but his mental state was quite uplifting.
After the two cavalry arrived, the old pawn got off his horse and gave a group salute to everyone. Then he said loudly that the young lady did not dare to be welcomed by the important ministers in person, and had entered the capital through another side gate. After settling down, I will personally go to the mansions of the important ministers to apologize and express my thanks.
After getting used to the arrogance of the former Wu Zhou clan and the splendid carriages and horses of Princess Taiping, Crystal's low-key words not only did not make Di Renjie and others angry, but they also looked at each other.On the contrary, he laughed loudly, and the joy and approval in it could not be more obvious.
This time the outing ended with an anticlimax, and everyone immediately returned to the city. Di Renjie and others went directly to the imperial city. Tang Song originally intended to do so, but when he was halfway there, he turned his horse's head back to his home.
As soon as he walked around the screen wall after entering the house, he bumped into Tang Daren. Tang Song wailed in his heart, but when he wanted to run away, it was too late.
After finally catching his son, how could Tang Daren let him run away so easily? He pulled the tart tail tightly around Karamatsu's waist and dragged him into the main room, and then smashed a thick pile of gold-coloured red stickers in front of Karamatsu.
"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir. How long will you delay your marriage, evildoer? None of the boudoir daughters from many official families can catch your eye?" Tang Daren grabbed Tang Song's tail with one hand and said angrily. The voice became louder and louder, and there were signs of madness.
But this time I really can¡¯t blame him. Since Tang Song was granted the title of Marquis, the threshold of his house was almost broken. At first, there were many people congratulating him, but starting from the second day, more and more people came to talk to matchmakers under the guise of congratulations.
As a result, more and more gold and red stickers gathered together. Behind every red sticker is a boudoir daughter who is about to get married. The more reserved one was better, but the impatient one sent her daughter's portrait together without waiting for a reply, and even the general's daughter. Even the list of proposed dowry items came together.
Thinking about the number of women who had the status of third-grade county wives, there were also many who thought that their status was not enough, or had the same thoughts as the fat man Zhuang Zheng of Splendid Silk, who simply stated that they did not dare to ask for the position of legitimate wife, and would rather be a prince. Concubine.
How many people can one wife and six concubines attract with seven quotas? In the past, when he was in Xiangzhou, Tang Daren was worried about whether his son could find a wife, but now there are so many good daughters from other families taking the initiative to come and get married.
Tang Daren was almost driven crazy by the excitement of such earth-shaking changes, and he was even more happy to have his son become a marquis. This year, the idea of ??honoring ancestors became stronger, but this made Kara Song unlucky. He was forced to have a kiss by the old man every day, which was miserable.
Karamatsu started to run when he became anxious. So the cat and mouse drama was staged again between father and son.
"Say! When are you going to get married?" Tang Daren was furious. Seeing that Tang Song was being mean-spirited, he immediately came up with bared teeth and claws. He cursed hatefully in his mouth: "You don't think about yourself, you should think about your sister too." Think too much. Do you really want to cut off the incense of the third room of my Tang family?"
"When the old man gets angry, he will kill someone if he gets in his way, and he will kill a Buddha if he gets in his way." In addition, he brought Tang Yuan out to make excuses, making it really difficult for Tang Song to refuse.
While standing up to avoid the arrogant Tang Daren, Tang Song gritted his teeth and said: "The candidate has been decided. I will bring him back in a few days for you to see. If I can get married before the end of the year,"
As soon as these words came out. Tang Daren froze immediately, "Is this true?"
These days, I am really bothered by the wedding. After saying these words, Karamatsu himself felt a lot more relaxed, "Can I still lie to you about such a big thing?"
Seeing Tang Daren, who was smiling like a flower, squinting his eyes and about to come closer, Tang Song immediately waved his hands, "That's it, it's settled." After that, he slipped out without stopping, so as not to be stopped by the old man again to question the girl's family. Condition.
After leaving the main house, Tang Song went straight to the place where Crystal used to live. Before he even entered the house, he saw a familiar girl walking out carrying a copper basin.
This is one of the four personal girls of Crystal. When he saw her, Karamatsu knew that he felt good about the inexplicable feeling he had when he returned to the city just now.
After slowing down and coughing twice, Karamatsu opened the door curtain and walked in.
The room was a bit messy, and there were thick stacks of bamboo pattern paper filled with writing on the desk facing the door. Crystal, who seemed to have grown taller and became more and more graceful, was standing by one side of the wall, holding the ancient musical instrument in both hands and studying it carefully.
The back that was so familiar in the past turned out to be a little strange, as if the crystal had grown up just overnight. The girl in the flowing cloud skirt who always held his lapel and remained unobtrusive in the gaze of thousands of people was no longer there.
Although at this moment Karamatsu wanted to step forward and pinch her nose and ruffle her hair like before, his feet seemed to be caught by something.
At this moment, Crystal turned around and met her eyes. Karamatsu sighed again in his heart.
After the White Horse Temple assassination case, Crystal took the initiative to step out of isolation and integrate into the world. First, she worked as a secretary for Karamatsu, who was unable to write at the time, and did the uninteresting work with gusto. Then she began to actively study history, and He is extremely serious and persistent in his studies, and his energy is as if a child who has been confused for a long time has finally found his interest in life.
Since then, as Crystal has become more deeply integrated into the world, the lightness and lightness in her eyes have slowly disappeared. After this long trip to Beijing, when she came back, her eyes once made Tang Song feel The stunning spotless spot has completely disappeared without a trace.
Since getting out of autism, Crystal has grown and changed too fast. Karamatsu, who was in a complicated mood, couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad. He just knew that although the girl in front of him had the same appearance that brought disaster to the country and the people, she was no longer the girl in the flowing cloud skirt in his memory.
changed!
Some people and some things have changed after all!
After all, Tang Song didn't reach Crystal, so he sat down next to the desk, picked up the bamboo pattern paper on the desk, looked at it, and asked in a very casual tone: "Is it hard to travel this way? I am Should I still call you Crystal, or should I respectfully call you Princess?"
"Why are you so angry?" Even though the crystal has changed a lot, its ability to directly point to people's hearts revealed when Luoyang and Tang Song first met, seems to have not changed at all, like this moment. Not only did she know that Karamatsu was angry, but she could accurately grasp the depth of his anger.
"And these Karamatsu are clearly trying to cover up.
For some reason, the more she acted like this, the stronger the evil fire in Tang Song's heart became. Hehe sneered, "In front of the princess, how dare I be angry with His Highness?"
Crystal slowly walked to the desk, sat down opposite Karamatsu, and then began to talk about her life experience.
This is another extremely clich¨¦ lame story. Crystal's mother was a maid in a deep palace just like Liu Mei's dance teacher back then. She was unfortunately passed away just over a year before the death of the former Emperor Gaozong Li Zhilin.
What¡¯s even more unfortunate is that just by chance, the palace maid actually became pregnant.
After confirming pregnancy. The palace maid was absolutely horrified. Because at that time, the inner palace was already dominated by Empress Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian could still tolerate Li Zhi's occasional flirting with women, at least those women would not die. But once the woman is pregnant, it's a different matter.
The pregnant palace maid spent her days in panic and panic. During this period, she tried her best to abort the child in her belly countless times. Unfortunately, this child was so desperate that he survived.
I watched my belly getting bigger day by day, and I couldn¡¯t hide it anymore. Feeling helpless and on the verge of mental collapse, the palace maid found the Zongren Temple, which was in charge of royal affairs, with the intention of dying.
At that time, Emperor Gaozong was about to die but was not yet dead, and Wu Zetian was far from ascending the throne. The Zongren Temple was still under the control of the Li Tang clan, in view of the fact that Wu Zetian's suppression of the Li Tang clan had already begun to take shape. Faced with this son who was destined to be Li Zhi's last heir, the chief official of Zongren Temple may have wanted to protect him out of grief for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
After completing the work of confirming her identity and bloodline, and issuing a jade certificate authenticating the bloodline of the Emperor to her belly, the palace maid who wanted to seek a happy relief was sent out of the palace. And was eventually sent out of the capital and entrusted to Zhang Jianzhi, who was a fanatical royalist.
Later, because of the excessive torment during pregnancy, the palace maid died of massive bleeding during childbirth. Although Crystal survived by luck. But because her identity is too involved, especially because there are too many people involved. Therefore, he was sent to a Taoist temple in Lumen Mountain not long after he was born, and was isolated from the world for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, things have changed. Wu Zetian has changed from a queen to an emperor. The Li and Tang royal families have been frequently killed. Many of those who were lucky enough to escape have abandoned their official positions and lived in the world like Li Sixun. On the contrary, Crystal avoided the catastrophe because he lived in the mountains.
More than ten years later, when everything was settled and Wu Zetian put away her butcher knife to kill the Li Tang royal family, Crystal just came down the mountain. As for what happened next, there is no need to say more. Now that the world has returned to Li Tang, as the youngest daughter of Emperor Gaozong, Crystal will naturally return to the royal family and be granted the title of princess.
"I only knew about my life experience before. Because I wanted to go to Beijing to see you, I never wrote to explain." When talking about his tortuous life experience, Shuijing's expression was calm and his words were as usual. But it was her performance that made Tang Song feel a little cold in his heart.
After encountering such a bizarre life experience, it should be a normal reaction for anyone to get emotional when telling others, but Crystal is so indifferent. Does she really not care? Or is he born with a cold heart?
Seeing that Tang Song was a little stunned, Crystal Knee walked to his side and pulled a hand into his palm, then held it and pressed it on his chest, "I am changing, and my identity is also changing. , but some things never change, never.¡±
Since the change in the crystal, Karamatsu has always felt a little bit lost when facing her. Now this feeling is stronger, so much so that he feels a little embarrassed in his heart, and he immediately takes his hand out of her arms.He said lightly: "No one in this world will ever change. I'm too obsessed! But since you are a princess now, I'm afraid you will have a lot of inconvenience if you continue to live in my house."
The changed crystal is the same as before the change. There is not much love between children. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "The imperial court gave Wu Sansi's house in the east and west capitals to me. As for the other personnel deployment, they were arranged according to routine. , I should move there at the latest early tomorrow morning."
It seemed that a sweet and cute girl was snatched away. Tang Song felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, but he forced a smile on his face and said: "That's fine, that's fine!"
As he said this, Tang Song stood up and was about to walk out. At this moment, Crystal behind him suddenly said: "I want someone from you."
"who?"
"The official is waiting for the edict"
Karamatsu stopped and turned around, "What do you want her for? She may not be able to leave the palace now."
"I need her to help me support the princess palace. As long as you agree, I will find a way to get her out of the palace."
Thinking of the scene where Di Renjie and others went to greet her just now, Tang Song was not surprised at what she said. As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "I will discuss this matter with her. If Wan'er is willing to condescend, I will naturally not stop her."
After saying that, Karamatsu, who was in a much better mood, turned around and walked to the bookshelf, taking the bamboo pattern papers full of words into his room.
