Great Tang princess

Chapter 19 Shangguan Wan'er
The loss of copyright fees is not just for the health ball. Qu Yuanli, who asked Yan Liben to experiment last time, found that it is very easy to use after a long period of experimentation.

So Yan Liben played, hoping that the emperor could promote this kind of plow to the whole country.

And I don't know if it's for flattery, but I even named it—Princess Li.

The key point is that Li Zhi actually agreed!He smiled and asked Yan Liben to do this thing exclusively.

In order to prevent him from dying from overwork and let him work full-time as the right prime minister, Si Ping Taichang Bo was replaced by a man named Yang Rifang.

After knowing this, Li Yuechen looked helpless.

Princess Li...do you people dare to name something more ugly?

But she didn't bother to refute, anyway, since it's a good thing that benefits the country and the people, you can call it whatever you want.

As the weather gradually warmed up day by day, came a piece of bad news.

Li Ji is sick!And very sick!It's gotten to the point where I can't get out of bed.

After receiving the news, Li Zhi asked Liu Shenwei, who also served as the Imperial Physician Order and Feng Yu of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, to cooperate as much as possible, and he must be cured.

After all, Li Ji is now old and sick to such an extent that if he can't be cured, his remaining lifespan will probably come to an end.

But Liu Shenwei said after the inspection that he seemed helpless, which made Li Zhi very sad for a while.

This old official can be said to be his staunch supporter. Without his help at the beginning, even if Wu Meiniang and himself could kill Changsun Wuji in the end, it would probably take a long time.

Several ministers said that it is better to find some outside practitioners to see if there is any way, but Li Zhi refused.

Li Yuechen has also heard of some of the reasons for this.

Not long after Li Zhi was established as the prince, Taizong Li Shimin had already begun to indulge in taking pills.

He not only eats it himself, but also occasionally rewards his sons and daughters, as well as ministers.

At that time, a diplomat named Wang Xuance brought back the craft of sugar making from Tianzhu, accompanied by a Tianzhu alchemist.

This guy said that he is more than two hundred years old, he will live forever, and he can make elixir.

Li Shimin asked him to refine it, but he said that there was a lack of materials, and the only medicines that could be refined now were ordinary pills.

So Taizong sent people to help him find materials, while eating the ordinary elixir he made, and died of illness not long after.

At that time, no one attributed the cause of Li Shimin's death to this aspect. Li Zhi became the emperor and wanted to send that alchemist back to his country. As a result, he seemed to like Chang'an, the most prosperous city in the world. He didn't want to leave, so he stayed here. .

Not long after Li Zhi killed Changsun Wuji, the family's genetic disease began to occur, and he was tortured every day during that time.

As a result, the alchemist came to the palace again, and lied to Li Zhi that he could refine elixir.

At first, Li Zhi was still a little bit moved, but Li Ji stood up and said, "Hurry up and pour it down. Last time I saw you, you were still in your prime. Now my face is wrinkled and my hair is white. Where did I get the face to say that I am immortal?" ?”

When Li Zhi heard it, he felt that what he said made sense, and since then he seemed to have understood it thoroughly, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he never thought of taking the elixir.

So now someone offered to refine the elixir for Li Ji to eat, but he refused without even thinking about it.

Although I feel uncomfortable, I can't ignore the affairs of the country. Now that Li Ji is seriously ill and bedridden, there must be someone who can replace him.

So Li Zhi recalled Pei Xingjian, and named him Si Lie Shao Chang Bo (Minister of the Ministry of Officials).

Li Yuechen was afraid that Li Zhi would get sick because of these things, so he took a lot of time to talk and chat with him every day.

He also went to find a few older brothers and told them that Li Zhi was in a bad mood recently, so he went to accompany him when he was free.

So recently Li Zhi is always accompanied by someone, which is not boring at all.

Li Yuechen's approach is still very effective. At least recently, it is obvious that Li Zhi is getting closer to the children than usual.

Even the two daughters of the concubine are not as indifferent as usual.

However, things did not always go so smoothly. In June, there was a sudden heavy rain in Jizhou. The deepest part of the water was more than one foot deep, destroying nearly [-] hectares of fields.

In July, there was a severe drought in the 400,000 states of Jiannan Road, and nearly [-] households were troubled by the drought!
The ministers in the court were arguing, but it was difficult to come up with a solution.

Li Zhi, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but lose his temper after returning to Yanying Hall, and kicked all the tables and tables over.

As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, blood flows into rivers.

Now that Li Zhi was in a fit of anger, the people around him were basically silent. No one dared to touch the emperor at this time.

This depressive atmosphere enveloped the palace, making Li Zhi, who was already in a bad mood, even more irritable.

Li Yuechen, who heard the news, was equally anxious. After all, in this day and age, with low food production, disaster relief is not something that can be done just by talking.

Although Li Yuechen didn't dare to say anything nonsense now, he still had to try, maybe he could give them some inspiration with the clumsy methods of children.

She didn't expect to be able to give any solution, but just tried to make Li Zhi calm down, otherwise he was really easy to get sick.

The next day, Li Yuechen went to accompany Li Zhi and Wu Zetian as usual.

Now besides her, only Li Hong dared to come over the other children.The remaining few were afraid of bumping into mold.

Li Yuechen was lying on the couch next to Li Zhi, seeing that the health ball in his hand was not turning anymore, after thinking about it, he finally asked, "Why is Grandpa so unhappy recently?"

"Alas..." Li Zhi sighed, and reached out to touch her head, "If Chen'er knows how to solve the famine, I will be happy."

Li Yuechen propped his chin with both hands, blinked his eyes: "Famine, is it feasible to let the next state and county transport the food there?"

Hearing the child's remarks, Li Zhi shook his head: "Then the next county is out of food, how to solve it?"

"Can I transfer from the next door?" Li Yuechen asked.

"According to what Chen'er said, don't you want to go all the way to the seaside?" Li Zhi put down the health ball in his hand, "Then how do the people on the seaside solve it?"

"Can you fish?" Li Yuechen asked.

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, who was shaking his head and smiling wryly, were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other.

"hiss--"

Li Zhi took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "This..."

Wu Zetian next to him nodded: "Although this method is not perfect, it can be used together. If it is matched with each other, the fish can be smoked with charcoal fire, and it can also be transported long distances."

Then the two began to discuss the feasibility of this issue.

This is currently the most reasonable solution that Li Yuechen can come up with as a child. Knowing about Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang can be regarded as a little contribution to the disaster-stricken people.

She didn't stay any longer, and left after saying goodbye.

But she knew very well that this method could not completely solve the problem of food shortage in this era.

To solve this problem, we must solve the problem of food production.

But hybrid rice... Her understanding is only limited to these four words. As for how to do it, she doesn't know!
And if she wants to solve this problem, it is not something she can manage as a child now.

……

Li Zhi called many ministers to Zichen Palace to discuss this matter.

The method proposed by Li Yuechen is indeed feasible in theory, but it is extremely troublesome to operate, and requires the cooperation of all states and counties at the same time.

In this era of difficult communication, this is not something that can be solved with one sentence.

However, some changes can be made in this theory. For example, fishing directly from the sea, smoked and then transported to the disaster area. At the same time, all states and counties along the road will distribute some food, which should be able to guarantee the minimum disaster relief.

At the same time, sea fish can also supplement salt to a certain extent, which can be said to be a good way.

Li Yuechen walked to the edge of the Taiye Pond, looked at the surface of the water blown by the breeze, but was thinking about another problem.

Even if she doesn't understand history, she also knows that most of the history books are basically written on the emperors and generals, but the life and death of the people seems to have never been cared about in the history books.

No wonder it is said that regardless of rise and fall, the common people suffer, this is the imprint of the feudal era!

Even if it is as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, people still have high and low.

After sighing, Li Yuechen shook his head, and decided in his heart that before he grew up, he still didn't want to think about these things.

I am in the vortex of power, let's ensure my own safety first.

Theoretically speaking, as long as one of the elder brothers can survive until one of the elder brothers becomes the emperor, life will be considered completely stable.

Because she will be the eldest princess by then, as long as she doesn't kill herself, no one will be able to move her!

As for now, let's find something to pass the boring life before growing up.

What can I do?
As an extreme athlete, Li Yuechen can be said to have the absolute right to speak in terms of "play".

Parkour, motocross, surfing, skiing, rock climbing, wingsuit flying... almost nothing.

It's a pity that these things have basically gone away from her in this era.

Should we also learn how to entertain at this time?For example, playing chess, calligraphy and so on...

Wait, book?Yes, you can write novels!

When I was a child, I stayed in an orphanage, because I had no money to go to playgrounds and other places, so all kinds of mythology and martial arts novels became the only way of entertainment.

Especially Journey to the West on the Conferred Gods List, which I have read dozens of times!

Li Yuechen clapped his hands "slap": "Go, Xiao He, go back and write some articles for me."

Of course, she can't expect to write all of them by herself. If she writes this kind of novel, she must be exhausted to death.

"Your Highness," Xiao He next to him said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Your servant... can't read."

"Oh……"

Hearing her answer, Li Yuechen was not too surprised.Because Mr. Fu taught me how to write when I was a child, I subconsciously thought that she could also read.

But there is no way for Eunuch Fu to write. Although he is the eunuch who takes care of himself, he is in charge of many things in the palace. If he is busy, he is not busy, but if he is free, he is not too busy.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen waved his hands, turned around and walked towards Yeting Palace.

Arriving at Yeting Palace, Liu Shanggong came out to greet him: "I have seen Your Highness! Not only today, what orders does Your Highness have?"

"Liu Shanggong, are there any literate maids here?" Li Yuechen asked.

Liu Shanggong thought for a while, nodded and said: "There is a Zheng family, who was originally a female family member of a criminal minister, who can write well!"

"Call her here."

"Here!"

Liu Shanggong agreed, turned around and left, and after a while, he walked over with a woman who looked about 30 years old.

Although this woman is wearing the clothes of a court lady, she can still see that she has a special temperament that can only be found in a big family.

There is no makeup on a slightly tired face, but it looks full of natural atmosphere.

After arriving in front of Li Yuechen, he bowed and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Can you read?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Return to Your Highness, I understand!" Mrs. Zheng replied with her head bowed.

Li Yuechen nodded, "I plan to write some articles, Liu Shanggong, I want to take this person away."

"Here!" It's too simple for the princess to ask for a maid, and there is no need for any formalities.

Turning her head and was about to leave, Mrs. Zheng suddenly bowed again and said, "Your Highness! I have a little maidservant, she is still young, can I go with you?"

Li Yuechen was a little surprised, there are children in Yeting Palace?
But still nodded: "Yes!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, please wait a moment, Your Highness!" After saluting, Mrs. Zheng turned over and ran all the way to find her daughter.

Seeing her leaving back, Li Yuechen sighed deeply.

It's really unexpected that in the Royal Yeting Palace, a court lady is still raising a young daughter. It is conceivable that life must be very difficult.

In this kind of three-way zone, being bullied is probably unavoidable.

After a while, Mrs. Zheng trotted over with a little girl.

Seeing from a distance, the little girl seemed to be about the same age as him, dressed in a palace maid's clothes, and looked a little thin.

But a pair of bright and big eyes are quite attractive, hiding behind Zheng Shi, looking at himself timidly.

"Shouldn't you salute soon?" Mrs. Zheng patted her on the back, and then pulled her to salute together: "I've seen Your Highness!"

The little girl behind her also followed her mother's example and bowed to Li Yuechen politely.

Li Yuechen felt that the little girl was a little cute, so he took two steps forward and came to her: "Raise your head."

The little girl raised her head slightly, and looked at Li Yuechen with a cautious and fearful gaze.

"Do you have a name?" Li Yuechen asked.

Women in this era seldom have names, basically whatever their surname is is a certain surname.

When the family calls, it is usually the first lady.

For example, Li Yuechen, because there is a sister in front of her, who is the second child, if she is in an ordinary family, she will be called Li Erniang.

The same is true of many princesses in the royal family, who usually use their titles as names.

The little girl was obviously a little cautious, but she still replied with a childish voice that was still full of milk: "Return to Your Highness, the servant girl is called Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er."

Whoa!Isn't this the one who came?

Li Yuechen thought about it, it seems that his wife became the secretary next to the emperor?That Shangguan Wan'er?

Was she actually born as a court lady?
But forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

After nodding, Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Let's go!"

On the way back to Chengxiang Hall, Li Yuechen turned his head from time to time to look at Shangguan Wan'er who was following Zheng.

In any case, such a young child suffers too much in a place like Ye Ting Palace, since he has encountered him, please help him if he can.

Not to mention that this is the celebrity next to the future Empress, if you have a good relationship with her, your life will be even better in the future!
