Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 204 Eight Bull Plows

To be honest, at least now, both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling feel that it is good to throw Li Tai to Youzhou.

After all, it is really not easy for Youzhou, a bitter and cold place, to develop, especially when Li Shimin thinks that he will conquer Goguryeo in the future and needs to transport grain from Guanzhong, he feels a headache when he thinks about it.

But it's different now. After leaving Li Tai in Youzhou, not only Youzhou developed in an orderly manner, but also drove the development of the surrounding area of ​​Youzhou. Now, the idea and plan of the northern granary are proposed. The most important thing is that the court does not need to pay for it. money!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help stroking his beard, except for a little bit of regret in his heart, but in reality, this decision was really the best decision he made.

But when he thought of Youzhou, Li Shimin finally thought of the Bohai Navy who had been wandering outside for almost a year.

After all, they took the envoys around the Bohai Sea, and the Goguryeo envoys have all gone back. Why hasn't the Bohai Sea Master returned yet?

Li Shimin couldn't help looking over at Li Jing, and asked in a deep voice, "Li Qing, is there any news about the Bohai Navy?"

"General Lou Chuan has returned to Laizhou Bay with the Bohai Navy and Gao Biaoren.

Because they wanted to go to Goguryeo to reach an agreement, they delayed for a while at the border of Goguryeo.

As a result, when winter came, many places along the coast were frozen, and they waited until the snow melted before continuing to the Wonu country.

Now that the Bohai Fleet has returned, I just received the urgent report this morning! "Li Jing said.

Hearing this, Li Shimin turned to his servant and said, "Has Gao Biaoren, the envoy who dispatched the Japanese, sent an urgent memorial?"

"Reporting to the saint, there is a memorial from Laizhou, and a copy has been copied and sent to Honglu Temple!" The servant replied quickly.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "According to the routine, I believe Honglu Temple will handle this matter well!"

Li Shimin didn't care too much, and didn't think there would be any problems.

After all, Li Shimin really wasn't interested in a place like the Bohai Sea that sailors in the Bohai Sea needed to wander for a year.

Of course, this is because Li Dejian started from Youzhou and made charts while driving along the coastline. Even if there was a storm at sea, he could immediately take refuge on land. In addition, he had to go to Goguryeo, so the speed was naturally not fast. .

However, if needed in wartime, Li Dejian went to the Japanese island as quickly as possible, at least regardless of the cost, and it took a maximum of one and a half months to reach the Japanese island of Kyushu.

It's just that Gao Biaoren would have been rewarded to some extent for having opened up trade with Goguryeo.

However, when he was in Japan, Gao Biaoren said that the ruler of the Japanese slave country was inferior to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and asked the ruler to face north and kneel down to accept the will of the Tang emperor, but the Japanese ruler refused.

So Gao Biaoren directly waved his sleeves away angrily, and refused to announce the order of the court, which directly broke the relationship between the two parties.

Of course, speaking of this kind of thing, it is not true in the land of the Tang Dynasty... It should be said that it was a matter of course in the ancient times when China was strong and prosperous.

Whether it is the Great Qin, the Great Han, the Great Sui, or the current Great Tang, they hardly form alliances with anyone.

All forces can only pay tribute, which is naturally lower than Datang.

As for all the foreign races who have formed alliances with Huaxia, or even called them brothers, the package is not limited to Yiqu, Huns, and Turks. As long as they have been on an equal footing with Huaxia, they are basically recorded in the small books.

When Huaxia developed, it would be fine if one obediently became a member of the tributary system, but those alien races that did not become part of the tributary system were basically wiped out by the dynasties one by one.

In this process, the only exception should be the Song Dynasty, because other dynasties formed alliances with others to accumulate strength to prepare for counter-killing, but the Song Dynasty formed alliances with others, it was purely playing badly with others, and the most funny thing is that it was badly done twice.

So from this point of view, Gao Biaoren asked the lord of the Japanese slaves to bow down to Datang, which means that you obediently recognize your eldest brother, even if you recognize your father, I don’t mind. From now on, you will be a member of the Datang tributary system. Don will cover you!

But the problem is that everything is well said, and it is not unreasonable to send the Tang envoy over, but in the end he refused.

It's as if the husband and wife are going to bow to the bride and regret the marriage, how can Gao Biaoren bear it!
Originally, I had traveled a long distance to secure meritorious service, not to mention entering the Ministry of Rites, but it would be no problem to enter Honglu Temple.

As a result, now that chickens are flying eggs, he is afraid that he will be reprimanded by Li Shimin when he goes back, which makes Gao Biaoren a headache.

But what Gao Biaoren could do was to write a letter and send it to Li Shimin, hoping that his punishment would be lighter.

To be honest, if it is the original history, Gao Biaoren will basically not be reused for life.

But this time he finally reached a cooperation with Goguryeo, so he should be promoted, should be fined and fined, and finally became the governor of Jizhou.

As for why a civil servant suddenly changed his job to become a border governor, he was a bit biased towards the official position of a military officer. One of the important reasons was that it was a tradition of the Tang Dynasty to be a general and a prime minister, at least before Li Linfu's reform.

As for the Wonu country, well, as long as Goguryeo is stable, Li Shimin really doesn't care about the Wonu country.

Of course, the very important reason why Li Shimin would do this is that now Tuyuhun in the northwest wind seems to be somewhat turbulent.

In contrast, the crusade against Goguryeo is not a matter of rush, but can be put aside first.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin dispatched Qibi Heli, Governor of Liangzhou Li Daliang, General Xue Wanjun and others to lead the army to conquer Tuyuhun, and at the same time to explore the local conditions of Tuyuhun.

When the groping was almost done, if Tuyuhun really didn't know how to praise, then he could only be forced to defend and counterattack.

Li Shimin has an overall consideration for the whole country. It has to be said that after putting Li Tai in Youzhou, Li Shimin feels that he only needs to consider the military in Youzhou, and does not need to worry too much about internal affairs.

After the imperial court gave Li Tai permission to administer the surrounding states and counties, especially Cangzhou, Li Tai naturally became motivated!
By the time the news came and went to Li Tai, it was already July.

Although the average temperature has gradually risen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is not hot in July in the northern region.

The most important thing is that the heat here is not as sweltering and airtight as in the south, even at the seaside, so it is quite vigorous to work on the contrary!

"Is this the eight ox plow that Mo Ling just researched?" Li Tai covered the sun with one hand, watched the cattle plowing the land reclaimed by the students of the agricultural school, and asked Li Chunfeng curiously.

"Exactly!" Li Chunfeng nodded, imitating Li Tai's way of looking from afar, and said,
"According to the suggestion that King Yan put forward in Gaoling at the beginning, it is contrary to the theory of Quyuan plow to save labor, and it is necessary to produce a plow that focuses on gravity and efficiency.

As long as the power of livestock is used, the effect of this eight-ox plow can be truly brought into play! "

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded and said, "It's also our luck that most of the land south of Youzhou is flat.

And because Tianjin has just been built, the population is sparse, and the land development is not much, so there is room for Ba Niuli to play.

Otherwise, in Chang'an, every piece of arable land has an owner, and most of the land exists in fragments, which is inconvenient to use. "

When Li Tai said this, he looked at Li Chunfeng and said, "I remember that Mo Ling had a plan for this thing in theory, but there are often problems in actual construction, and there is nothing wrong with it now, you are Didn't you make a move?"

"It's just helping to adjust the balance of force." Li Chunfeng said calmly,

"It's just some stupid calculations. Mo Ling can try for another year and get this data."

Hearing Li Chunfeng's Versailles gesture, Li Tai felt indescribably envious, and couldn't help saying to Li Chunfeng,

"Chunfeng, in the future, you can try to walk with Mo Ling more and help him coordinate some equipment.

After all, you have also seen the effect of the eight ox plow, which can save us a lot of trouble! "

To be honest, Li Tai is really envious of Li Chunfeng's brain that is proficient in calculations, and his envy is almost drooling.

But Li Chunfeng himself thinks that this kind of calculation ability is not a great way, even if he has the ability to awaken the spiritual talent vaguely, Li Chunfeng said that without this talent, my calculation ability is still the best in the world, so he washed away this kind of spiritual talent...

Yes, when Li Tai heard this, everyone was blindfolded.This is a kind of spiritual talent!

Then Li Chunfeng said that if he was whitewashed, he would be whitewashed, and Li Tai really wanted to beat Li Chunfeng up.

But when he came back to his senses, Li Tai asked him why he wanted to clean up?

Li Chunfeng said that he does not intend to become Taishiling in this life, but needs computing power to calculate weather changes and celestial bodies.Then with a kind of spiritual talent, I can be a salary thief, so that I can work more conveniently.

But now that I have worked all the way, the goal must be to go to the prime minister.

How can a quasi-spiritual talent be able to hold people down? One must find a way to awaken a spiritual talent like Fang Xiang or Du Xiang.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng directly dispersed his spiritual talent that could be awakened at any time, and became the foundation of his spiritual talent.

And Li Tai marveled at Li Chunfeng's operation, and asked how it was done?
Li Chunfeng said that as long as he sorts out his knowledge with an absolutely rational attitude, he reorganizes his knowledge structure.

Through the method of reviewing the past to learn the new, as well as the means of self-examination, constantly enrich yourself, and constantly sort out the foundation of your spiritual talent in the process, and easily wash away the spiritual talent that you originally wanted to awaken.

Li Tai was dumbfounded after hearing this, then tried it himself, and gave up within a quarter of an hour.

After all, I am a normal person, and I am fundamentally different from a pervert like Li Chunfeng who can compete for the number one arithmetic scientist in the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, facing Li Tai's suggestion, Li Chunfeng nodded.

Anyway, in Li Chunfeng's view, this kind of thing doesn't consume his energy, so he can do it easily.

Li Tai continued, "Chunfeng, have you ever thought about building a medical system like the old gods, and building an arithmetic system?"

When Li Chunfeng heard Li Tai's words, he didn't know why, he just felt the wind blowing, and said with a little bit of incomprehension,

"Yan Wang, what do you mean? Do you also want to build a batch of auspicious houses like building medical houses?"

"Of course not!" Li Tai shook his head when he heard Li Chunfeng's words, "What I mean is, have you ever thought about making rules for mathematics? Let the world of mathematics learn your rules!"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Chunfeng was infected by Li Tai's arrogance, and said, "I never thought King Yan would have such an idea!"

"Because Confucianism doesn't always talk about the six arts of a gentleman, I think it's because there is one missing arithmetician when a hundred schools of thought contend!"

Li Tai complained calmly, but his expression became serious, "However, the affairs of the world are indeed indispensable to the study of mathematics. From this point of view, the study of mathematics is still very meaningful, and it can be said that it is the foundation of the development of all things."

"Yan Wang wants me to develop on this road?" Li Chunfeng said calmly listening to Li Tai's words.

"Anaithology is considered a talent, at least my talent on this path is almost none.

But you are different, you are a truly talented person! "When Li Tai said this, he continued,
"Of course, if you don't really love arithmetic on this road, it will be really difficult to establish an arithmetic system that can compete with Confucianism."

"Then try!" Li Chunfeng said after hearing Li Tai's words, "Compared with other things, at least I like arithmetic.

If I want to build an arithmetic system that can counter Confucianism, I don't think I may be able to do it, but if I only make rules for arithmetic.

I think you can try it. "

Li Chunfeng is very used to Li Tai's attitude of opposing Confucianism when he talks to Li Tai.

In fact, everyone around Li Tai is used to Li Tai's attitude that seems to be inexhaustible with Confucianism.

But Li Chunfeng and the others dealt with Li Tai more in the manner of coaxing children.

Because in their view, Li Tai just doesn't know what Confucianism he is facing, and Li Tai may not have the opportunity to face Confucianism in the future.

So just deal with it. Could it be that you really told this Li Tai directly like a brain-dead, don't dream about King Yan, you can't overthrow Confucianism.

After so many years, this kind of person was transferred by Li Tai's side.

For example, Yan Qinli is one of them.

He quietly worked as a teacher in Gaoling Academy, one of the important reasons is that he is regarded as the orthodox heir of Confucianism.

Although Li Tai would not kill him, he would dispatch him.

So by Li Tai's side, at least no one would obviously show a tendency to agree with Confucianism.

When Li Tai heard that Li Chunfeng decided to formulate rules for arithmetic, he smiled calmly and said, "I have a question about arithmetic. I wonder if you are interested in doing calculations?"

"I always feel that you, King Yan, are waiting for me!" Li Chunfeng smiled when he heard Li Tai's words, "But, come anyway, I think I can solve all arithmetic problems."

"Then let's make it simpler, what kind of iron boat can float on the water, and use arithmetic to answer it!" Li Tai smiled at Li Chunfeng and said, as proud as a mouse who stole cheese!
