Chinese dining table

Chapter 491 Prepare to be mediocre for a long time

Back then, the reason why Songtsan Gampo's army was able to sweep across the entire Tubo Plateau was that one of the most important things was to tie a fox tail behind the coward's head and make fun of him for being as cowardly as a fox.

Then, in order not to be tied with fox tails behind their heads, and to distinguish themselves from timid creatures like foxes, the simple Tibetans fought bravely and were not afraid of death.

Therefore, in Tubo, it is a bet to tie a fox's tail behind the head. Basically, as long as you are a man, you cannot accept it, and you will not admit defeat.

Of course Yunchu didn't think so. In fact, he himself had a fox fur hat, and the fox tail on that hat could hang down and be used as a scarf. Everyone said it was a good thing when they saw it.

Besides, put an orange on Naha's head and shoot it with an arrow?Damn it, Naha is his own sister, not a wild girl picked up from a ravine in Tubo.

You know, even when Yunchu was beating Naha, he would carefully avoid important positions, worried that he would break the child, and let her shoot an arrow by herself with an orange?

Even if his archery skills are so good that he wouldn't do it, if his hand shakes at that time, Yun Chu wouldn't even dare to think about that scene.

It was nothing more than an admission of failure. Yun Chu had admitted many failures in his life. He even admitted failure to Yu Xiurong on the bed. It doesn't matter to admit failure to this Tubo woman again.

Seeing Dunzhu proudly looking around like a mountain antelope, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, gentle, Di Renjie gave Dunzhu a thumbs up together, and at the same time stole contemptuous glances at Yunchu.

Naha yelled angrily, but Li Hong's eyes kept flicking across the faces of everyone present, he felt that the atmosphere was not so right.

"After the beginning of spring, when my leg is healed, I will ask His Majesty to marry Miss Dunzhu."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Congratulations Brother He Lan, this is a true perfect match."

He Lanmin said: "Thank you, thank you."

After speaking, he held Dun Zhu's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled sweetly, then Dun Zhu pushed He Lan Minzhi and left Yun's house.

The rest of the people also left one after another, and when Yunchu sent Xue Rengui out, he suddenly said to Xue Rengui: "Do more research on this He Lanminzhi."

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "In the next year, I will serve as the governor of Anxi and the governor of Xizhou. I will mainly deal with Lun Qinling's ambitions in the Western Regions."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "In Liangzhou, there is a good general, you can use him, he is called Hei Chi Chang Zhi."

Xue Rengui said: "Because I will serve as the governor of Anxi and the governor of Xizhou, which happens to be the position that Guo Daifeng's father once held. He hopes to become my deputy general and go to the Western Regions together."

Yunchu's eyelids twitched, and he said with a smile, "It's better to be black-toothed. Of course, this is my personal opinion."

Li Hong, who had been staying by Yunchu's side all the time, suddenly said: "I also have a good person here, can General Xue bring him along."

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "I don't know who the Crown Prince is talking about?"

"Xiao Siye!"

Xue Rengui said: "Is this the only one?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "He is the only one who went to the general's tent. He is the general's people. It's all up to the general to kill and stay. I just think he is very suitable to go to the Western Regions. It is to give him a chance to make a name for himself. , the rest, the general need not worry."

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "The last general will write it down."

Seeing off Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian seemed to be going to go with Gongsun tonight. Although Gongsun's child was crying heartbreakingly in Pei Xingjian's arms, Pei Xingjian did not intend to let go, and was going to forcibly cultivate a father-son relationship.

After dark, Li Shen was generally reluctant to go out, so he found a guest room at Yun's house and took his wife and children to rest.

When only Yunchu, Wenrou, and Di Renjie were left in the room, the three saw that Li Hong was reluctant to leave, so they let him in too.

In front of Li Hong, the three of them made a summary of what they did last year. No matter whether Li Hong understood it or not, they didn't explain it. For now, it is enough for him to know.

After the three of them finished talking, Li Hongcai asked cautiously: "Dahang City is so rich in products, why do the important court officials turn a blind eye?"

Gentle replied: "Because, for the imperial court, Yingzhou is more important, and controlling the barbarians in Liaodong is more important."

"However, my father said that the taxes received by Datang will never be enough. Why are you unwilling to develop financial resources?"

Di Renjie replied: "The reason why taxes are not enough is because the Tang Dynasty is too big, and there are too many places where money needs to be spent.

At the same time, the output of the land is too little. What we lack is not money, but property. "

"Is there no way to quickly enrich the property?"

Yunchu said: "Aren't you making it? Cabbage, cabbage, and onion. If these three things can reach a yield of more than [-] catties per mu, Chang'an will not starve to death, and the population will continue to grow in a very short period of time." It will increase over time, and when the population increases, more places will be able to be developed, and then there will be the most products.

Population, land, and property are related. Tell me now, has Datang related these three? "

Li Hong shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no connection."

Yunchu said again: "It's not good if we don't have a connection, so we'll make a little connection. When these things are connected, Datang's national strength will be improved to a higher level."

Li Hongxue frowned and said, "Is there no one-and-done solution?"

Yun Chu clicked his mouth and said, "No."

"Should I continue to grow vegetables in the East Palace?"

"Very good, keep planting. As long as you grow the vegetables well, your throne will be secure in the future, and it will be the kind that no one can shake."

"I know that Shennong became the holy emperor because of farming."

"It's good to know that the emperor who grows the land may be more powerful than the emperor who fights.

Well, you already know too many things today, after you go back, you should slowly think about it and think it through, the truth in this world is actually very simple, nothing more than food and clothing. "

Li Hong went back to the East Palace with a lot of lawsuits in his head. Originally, he wanted to continue playing in Jinchangfang until dawn, but later he felt that he was no longer a child, so he gave up this idea.

Gentle, Di Renjie has seen enough of the hustle and bustle of Jinchangfang, and they are more willing to regard New Year's Eve as a good day for gatherings.

The first day of the new year is not a good weather, early in the morning, the sky is gloomy, not long after, a burst of snow fell down.

This is not good for the commercial activities, commercial performances, and garden activities being held in Jinchangfang.

Naha got up early in the morning, and was full of anger, practicing archery with a bow. She felt that her brother's lost face needed to be regained by her as a girl.

Feather arrows landed on the target with a whistling sound, although they couldn't hit the heart, they all landed on the target, which was not bad among the little girls.

When Yunchu got up, he saw Naha practicing archery, so he took an orange and walked to the target, put the orange on his head and said to Naha who was holding a bow and arrow: "Come on, shoot the orange. "

Naha shook her head and said, "Put you on the target and I'll shoot."

Yun Chu said: "I'll put it on the head and you shoot."

"I do not!"

Yun Chu sneered, peeled the orange and ate it while walking towards Naha, and finally took the remaining half of the orange, Senaha said in his mouth, "Why don't you dare to shoot?"

Naha quickly ate the orange and said, "The orange is on your head."

Yun Chu slapped Naha and said, "Can I cum on your head if you have an orange?"

"My brother is good at archery."

"Do you think I can catch the shot arrow?"

"can!"

"Why don't you shoot?"

"What if I can't catch it?"

Yun Chu slapped Naha on the back of the head again and said: "When I shoot an arrow at you, what if I can't shoot correctly? You see, this is the reason why I directly surrendered. It's the same reason as you don't want to shoot me.

"My brother is very good at archery, I don't shoot."

Yun Chu sighed, "I'm afraid!"

During the daytime, Jinchangfang was much quieter. Although there were still some people entering Jinchangfang one after another, most of these people who entered Jinchangfang during the day were foreign businessmen. Although Chang’an City canceled the curfew during the festival, However, for them, it is still impossible to come out.

There was nothing to see in Jinchangfang during the day, all the lights were extinguished, and the huge bright moon slowly set before dawn.

Even the big canteen in Jinchangfang only opened a few stalls during the day, and most of the stalls were closed.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yunchu is going to go to the county government office, Sun Shenxian went to Zhongnan Mountain to practice in seclusion, and Master Xuanzang also took advantage of the free time of the Chinese New Year to meditate in seclusion, Yunchu, who is now Lord Hou, can't think of it Why do I have to pay New Year's greetings to others at this time.

So, I planned to take the officials who stayed behind in Wannian County and the small officials to bring food and supplies to visit the orphanage, visit the Fushouyuan, and condolences to the people in Yizhuang.

This is something that a county magistrate needs to do every year, and this is especially true in Wannian County, because there are no such welfare facilities on a larger scale than Wannian County in the Tang Dynasty.

When going to these places, Yunchu usually takes Naha and Li Si with him to cultivate the empathy of these two children.

These places are basically outside the city. The Orphanage and the Fushou Garden are integrated, and it is a very large courtyard in itself.

Every year, Wannian County allocates a large amount of money and food to these two places. At the same time, the management system here is also the strictest.

Yunchu didn't think that the people in these two places should show all kinds of poor and strange looks, but should be a positive and warm foster place.

To be honest, the life of the children and the elderly here should be better than that of the elderly in ordinary people's homes.

Before entering the Orphanage and Fushouyuan, the first thing Yunchu did was to thoroughly check the account books of these two places.

In fact, there is no need to check, you only need to look at the expressions of the little officials in charge of these two places to understand.

If he looks smug and waiting for you to check, it means that checking accounts is beneficial to this guy.

If the face is ashen, then there is no need to investigate, you can directly drag this guy to make a skeleton model, and send it to the Tai Hospital as a teaching tool.

This year, the expressions of these two guys are very strange, neither joy nor pain, but strange, nothing wrong, just very strange expressions.

Yun Chu flipped through the account book and said in a deep voice, "Tell me earlier, don't let me find out, and I won't be able to talk about the last bit of affection."

The steward of Fushouyuan said tremblingly: "Reporting to the county lord, an old man lived in our place half an hour ago."
