Chapter 253 Politics is Personnel

"Naha has grown up."

Yu Xiurong was holding a big red bellyband in his hand and was embroidering on it. The flowers were yellow, which seemed to indicate the meaning of a girl with yellow flowers.

Since yesterday, Naha has been hiding and unwilling to see people.

Now that Yu Xiurong said that again, Yunchu immediately understood that his sister had finally grown into a big girl, and celestial sunflowers began to descend.

Naha has always been a healthy child, and she has never been short of nutrition. Except for a short period of breastfeeding, her nutritional history has always been smooth and stable.

"Is it early?"

"It's not too early. At 11 years old, she has grown into a big girl. It's time to lock her up."

"Can you hold her?"

"If you can't shut it down, you have to shut it down. My husband will also start looking for a good family for Naha, and we are going to get engaged."

"This will not work. The first condition for finding a husband for Naha is that Naha likes it. As long as she likes it, she can marry a beggar. If Naha doesn't like it, the prince will not marry."

"What should I do if I become an old girl?"

"Then continue to raise it."

Yun Chu turned over and hugged his wife's body. Even though she was pregnant, her waist became thicker, so she moved her hand up.

Yu Xiurong also moved closer to the man, feeling very at ease.

In the field in spring, the clouds floated low in the sky, as if they would fall down at any moment.

Yun Chu was wearing clothes full of various streamers, with pockets hanging all over his body, waving a thin wooden stick wrapped with various silks and satins in his hand, and beating while jumping. In front of him was a cow made of wheat straw.

In front of Chunniu, there are large and small incense burners filled with incense, which makes both Yunchu and Chunniu shrouded in faint smoke. A thin man sang loudly, but Yunchu couldn't even hear a word clear.

However, the common people seemed to be able to understand it, and whenever the thin man's voice became high-pitched, they would kowtow neatly.

The dance of beating spring cattle is fixed. Yunchu has learned it in the Ministry of Rites. After passing the examination, he is now qualified to play spring cattle.

It's very interesting, unknowingly, Yunchu's dance coincides with the weird singing voice of that lean and divine man.

On the other side, the man beating the drum began to sway from side to side, nodding his head up and down, as if he had entered the realm of a god.

The process of beating the spring bull was extremely cumbersome, so Yunchu danced for an hour at a stretch, even though Yunchu was physically strong, after this dance, his forehead was slightly sweaty.

After the dance, I thought that the people would bury or burn the spring cow, but unexpectedly, the people swarmed up to tear the spring cow made of wheat grass to pieces in an instant.

Anyone who catches a little wheatgrass happily takes the carcasses of the spring cattle they caught and burns them in their fields, and finally throws the torch high, so that the burning wheatgrass is scattered on their fields as evenly as possible.

In Guanzhong, when the cuckoo calls, the seeds will start to sow. Once the solar term enters February, the temperature in Chang'an will rise rapidly, which is also very suitable for crop growth.

Under the guidance of a doctor of agronomy, the cotton seeds soaked in water were also planted into the ground one by one by the rural farmers.

I believe it will not take long before they will be able to thrive on the land in Guanzhong.

Next, the farmers will no longer have a moment of peace. From now on, they have to watch over the farmland and beware of the annoying birds in Guanzhong stealing the cotton seeds in the ground.

At the beginning of Yun, Liu Rengui, in order to save time on the road, one guarded in the city to check the cotton planted on the construction sites in the city, and the other guarded outside the city, running around all day long.

After all the ten thousand mu of cotton had been planted, Yunchu and Liu Rengui had the chance to have a drink of tea together.

"Ya Zhai listened to Xiao Xiaozhu, suspected to be the voice of the people's suffering. These little officials in Caozhou County, one branch and one leaf, always care about love.

County honorable person, drink tea to the full and repay me for the hard work I have been waiting for these days. "

Liu Rengui smiled and raised his teacup to respect Yunchu, and drank it down.

"[-] mu of cotton fields, [-] cold clothes for soldiers, if we achieve something, we can be regarded as doing our best for the great Tang Dynasty."

"Actually, a little cotton has been successfully trial-planted in Guanzhong, and it can be spread in Guanzhong in the future. Exchanging this cash crop with grain-producing areas for grain can effectively reduce the pressure Chang'an brings to the rest of Datang's counties."

"That being said, once a disaster occurs in a grain-producing area, Chang'an will be the first to suffer. I wonder if the county magistrate has ever seen a scene of starvation everywhere?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I grew up in the Western Regions, where the land is vast and sparsely populated. If a pasture is not good, we will trade cattle and sheep for a pasture with abundant water and grass. We have been lucky these years, and we can always find good pastures. .

Therefore, Yun Chu was not allowed to witness the scene that the county lord mentioned. "

Liu Rengui pointed to an elm tree outside the window and said, "During times of famine, this thing is a good thing. People will peel off the bark of the elm tree and put it in a millstone to grind it into powder, so that they can live for a while.

During the locust plague in Hebei, the locusts flew over the sky and covered the ground. The old man still remembers the despair at that time, and even it was not despair, but death.

No matter how many locusts you kill, there will be more locusts flying over, and wherever the locusts go, the vegetation will be empty, but everyone in the disaster area clearly understands that their own doomsday has arrived.

So, Xiancheng, you must remember that sometimes it really doesn't matter whether you make money or not. In any case, you must first ensure that there is enough grain in the granary to be the real big deal. "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "That's right, it seems that there is never enough food in Datang.

In the final analysis, the yield per mu is too low. If the yield per mu can be doubled, the grain transported into Chang'an from other places can be reduced by half.

It's a pity that Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, has always been rich, but now it can't support a huge city in Chang'an. "

Liu Rengui refilled Yunchu's tea, stopped sitting cross-legged, stood up, pointed to the blue sky outside the window and said, "In the past, everyone thought that the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan could nourish the emperor's spirit for a hundred years.

Judging from the current situation, another 20 years of support is already the limit, otherwise, there will be sudden public grievances due to excessive exploitation. Shandong, Hebei, Huainan, Huaibei, even Hanzhong and Shuzhong are also supporting Chang'an .

Once this public grievance really arises, Datang will face the problems that Qiangqin faced in the past. Once the people rise up, chaos will be a foregone conclusion. "

Yunchu smiled and said, "The county lord also thinks that moving the capital to Luoyang will solve this problem?"

Liu Rengui was silent for a moment and said, "Chang'an is to the west, which is not conducive to long-term peace and stability."

Yun Chu nodded, he understood that moving the capital to Luoyang had become a common recognition among Tang officials.

If this is the case, he can rest assured, and only in this way can Chang'an truly become his city.

Since Yunchu felt that this city would become his city, he never spared no efforts in developing Chang'an.

It can even be said to be selfless.

Liu Rengui's cotton textile workshop is being built in full swing. From site selection to selection of craftsmen and weaving girls, he is doing it by himself. For this reason, he is willing to work day and night. He only hopes to give himself more time for training. Those cotton spinning hands.

The flowing water work method mentioned by Yunchu has been studied very thoroughly now. This kind of good work method that has existed since the Qin Dynasty has been lost for so many years, which makes Liu Rengui very incomprehensible.

Therefore, Liu Rengui believes that once the [-] mu of cotton is successfully planted, millions of catties of cotton must be turned into finished products in the shortest possible time, otherwise, with the current storage methods, a lot of cotton will be wasted.

Under the joint cooperation of Liu Rengui and Yunchu, all the cotton in Chang'an City was bought by Chang'an, and the two counties of Wannian bought it all. He would rather not collect the city ship tax from these barbarians.

If you search all over Chang'an, if you don't search Yunchujia, the cotton you can get is still very limited, but it is more than enough to use the cotton to train weavers.

It is easy to recruit [-] poor women from Chang'an County, but the reputation is not good. It is unique in Chang'an that an official recruited [-] maidservants at one go.

After being spread a little bit by those boring people in Chang'an City, Liu Rengui became a sex demon who sings and sings every night.

When things are done well, things tend to develop in strange directions, which is a bit strange to practical officials like Liu Rengui and Yunchu.

As much as I still want to sew their mouths shut with needles and thread, things have to go on.

Immediately afterwards, Wannian County also recruited a thousand women into Dongshi for advance training in cotton textile operations.

Yunchu has already discussed with Liu Rengui that the products from Chang'an County will be military products, and the products from Wannian County will be civilian products.

Yunchu's reputation in Wannian County is very good. Not only is he an honest gentleman with ten thousand dollars, but also his daily good deeds prove that he is not a pervert.

Then, things took a new turn. People were no longer discussing Liu Rengui and Yunchu, but placing the name of lust on the emperor.

Because only the emperor has such a great ability to summon three thousand women at once...

"So, Yunchu and Liu Rengui cooperated very well?" Li Zhi kicked the giant bear sleeping at his feet in disgust, and asked Li Yifu.

Li Yifu cupped his hands and said: "I think that the two counties of the capital and the division are too harmonious, which is not a good thing for the capital."

Li Zhi reached out and took a piece of candied fruit, fumbled it into the bear's mouth under the table, and said disapprovingly: "Can these two be stronger than the sixteen guards?"

Li Yifu shook his head honestly and said: "No."

"These two are dissatisfied with me and Datang?"

Li Yifu sighed and shook his head again: "No, I just feel uneasy in my heart."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Back off, there is nothing to worry about."
