The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

When the real situation of the Huazhou rebellion reached Chen Jingke's ears, everyone was shocked.

"What are these people thinking? Do they think the rebellion is just a joke?"

Wu Shu said, "This is normal."

Chen Jingke asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Wu Shu said: "Since ancient times, the number of people who have rebelled has been countless. This dynasty has only been in existence for more than [-] years, and there have been hundreds of rebellions, large and small."

"Except for the chaos in the world during the Wude period, even in the Zhenguan year, there were seven or eight times, on average, more than once a year."

Chen Jingke couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Why have I never heard of it?"

Wu Shu stroked his abdomen lightly, and said: "Because most of the rebellions are similar to this time in Huazhou, and the scale is far less than this time."

"There is no need for the imperial court to send troops to suppress it, and the local garrison troops can easily suppress it. The imperial court will not treat such a thing as a rebellion for the sake of face."

"The rebellion that can be remembered by everyone is the kind of organized and disciplined turmoil. It can affect a state or even several states, and it needs the imperial court to send troops to suppress it."

Chen Jingke was so greedy, he stretched his hand in from the seam of his clothes and stroked it lightly, only to feel that his hand was flat and smooth: "It seems that it will take three months to show her bosom."

Wu Shu trembled all over, his eyes blurred, he couldn't help leaning against him, and said: "Yes, the doctors said it will take three and a half months to show pregnancy."

They are old couples, Chen Jingke doesn't know that she is emotional.

Pregnancy will lead to changes in hormone secretion, coupled with some psychological factors that cannot be treated by outsiders, women's needs will be stronger, and they will feel it when they touch it a little.

He had doubts before, but now he finally believed.It's so sensitive that you can feel it just by touching your stomach lightly.

It's a pity that the child is important and cannot take that risk.

He pulled out his hand calmly, changed the subject and said, "But why are these people rebelling like playing house?"

Wu Shu knew his plan, and for some reason, he cupped his face angrily, and kissed him fiercely instead.

Seeing this, Chen Jingke also knew that it was not good to just refuse. Instead, he hugged her and kissed her deeply, and did not let go until he couldn't hold his breath.

Wu Shu closed his eyes and panted for a long time, then slowly suppressed the fire in his heart, opened his eyes and gave him a hard look and said:

"Stay away from me in the future, I will never end with you if I hurt the child."

At this moment, Chen Jingke didn't dare to confront her, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, from now on, I promise to stay away from Sister Wu until... one, two, three, four, five..."

He pretended to count the days with his fingers, and said, "There is still one month left, within one month I promise to keep a safe distance from Sister Wu."

Why did he say one month, because the first three months and the last three months are the most dangerous for pregnant women, and the middle four months are relatively safe days.

And what happens appropriately during this period of time is also good for your health and good for production.

Wu Shu naturally understood this truth, but bit her lip and did not refute. She really hoped that the next moment would be a month later.

Chen Jingke also knew not to tease her too much, and brought the topic back to the beginning again: "Why are those people rebelling so childishly, they don't even have the most basic organizational skills."

Wu Shu tidied up his messy hair, and replied, "That's why the court forbids military books to be circulated privately. Most people know nothing about military affairs. Isn't rebellion just like playing a house?"

Only then did Chen Jingke understand the reason, and said with a wry smile: "So, I used to think that the court was too careful, but now I realize that I was too naive."

Wu Shu looked at him with admiration, and said, "That's because you are so kind and willing to think about the poor."

Chen Jingke was noncommittal, compared to the person who couldn't mention his name, what he did was nothing.

The couple got bored for a while, and Wu Shu went out to inspect.

After she got pregnant, although she handed over a lot of work to others, and Yihe also took care of the accounts for her, she still visited Zixiao Temple several times a day.

Like a lioness patrolling her territory.

It's not that she doesn't trust Yihe and the others, but a habit.

Another reason is that the experience of being kicked out of the house by her elder brother made her pay more attention to everything about Zixiao Temple, especially after pregnancy.

A few days ago, Chen Jingke accompanied her on tour, but she couldn't bear it later.And Wu Shu was also not used to being accompanied, so he didn't go there afterwards.

After she left, he went back to his small courtyard with nothing to do.

Yi Nu has been discharged from the hospital, but after all, the injury is too serious, and it will take a long time to recover completely.Now I can only move freely, and I don't need to lie down all the time.

When Sun Simiao announced that she could be discharged from the hospital, she chose to come back without hesitation.Although the so-called hospitalization is also in Zixiao Temple, for her, this small courtyard is her home.

After confirming that her injury was not serious, Chen Jingke agreed that she would come back, and Yuzhu would take care of her in daily life.

The two were sent to take care of Chen Jingke together, committed themselves to him together, and often slept together, and experienced the danger last time, their relationship can be described as very deep.

It can be said that it is very appropriate for Yuzhu to take care of her.

At this time, the two were walking in the yard, and they were very happy to see him come back, so they wanted to meet him.

Chen Jingke hurriedly said: "Don't move, I'll go find you."

As he spoke, he walked over quickly and kissed each of their faces, making their happy mouths hard to close.

Chen Jingke sighed in his heart, experience can really change a person.

Thinking that holding hands at the beginning could make the two little maids blush for a long time, but now no matter how intimate they are, they will not blush anymore, on the contrary they are very excited and looking forward to it.

After walking with Yi Nu for a while, and chatting for a while, Chen Jingke went back to his room to study.

Yi Nu, who aspires to be a novelist, also finds basic novels to read, but Yuzhu hasn't found anything to do yet.

But when she saw that the other two were starting to read, she also found a book and began to read.

The lunch was delivered by the people below, and Chen Jingke was surprised to find that there was seaweed pork rib soup.

This novel vegetable that can boost the savory taste made the two little maids shout it delicious.

Chen Jingke also missed the long-lost vegetables, and even ate two large bowls.

After dinner, I went to the outer court to find Cheng Huailiang and asked, it was indeed his handwriting.

"The vegetable found when fishing for green shrimp in Texas has existed in ancient times. It is called kombu. The cooks studied it after taking it back, and found that the soup is very delicious."

Chen Jingke naturally knows that kelp soup is delicious, especially for the ancients who do not have MSG. He also knows that this thing has another great use.

So he went to the kitchen to find a piece of dried kelp and brought it into the palace.

After meeting Li Shimin, he said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, I have something nice for you."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, but said calmly on his face: "What is it, I hope it makes you happy."

Chen Jingke didn't give a damn either, he took out the piece of dried kelp and said, "This is it."

Li Shimin took it and examined it carefully, and said, "It looks like dried vegetables, is there anything strange about it?"

Chen Jingke said excitedly: "That's great, this thing is called Kelp, and it has three functions."

"First, it can be eaten as a vegetable. It's okay in summer. In winter, people don't even see a leaf of vegetable in their rice bowls. If things go on like this, they will be weak and sick."

"Kelp is everywhere in the sea. You can pick it up casually. After drying, it can be stored for a long time. You can soak it in hot water..."

Li Shimin nodded slightly. "That's right, the common people have another edible food, what else?"

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "The second function is that it can replace table salt to a certain extent. This thing grows in the sea and contains a lot of salt. Eating it can supplement the salt."

Li Shimin's eyes brightened. Although Datang has a new method of drying salt, there will never be enough salt.If it can also replace salt, that is another great good governance.

Chen Jingke was very proud, and continued: "The third function is the surprise I mentioned. This thing can cure diseases, a terminal illness that is very common in the Western Regions."

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then immediately became serious: "You said it can cure diseases, or is it a common disease in the Western Regions? What diseases can it cure?"

Although the imperial court took down Gaochang, it was not very smooth to compete with the Western Turks for the hearts and minds of the people.

If the imperial court has such a medicine, the benefits needless to say.

Chen Jingke didn't whet his appetite either, but said, "Your Majesty should have heard of big neck disease, right?"

How could Li Shimin have never heard of it, and hurriedly asked: "It can cure big neck disease?"

Chen Jingke said: "Yes. Let's take salt as an example. If a person does not eat salt for a long time, his limbs will become weak, weak, sick and even die."

"But besides the lack of salt in the Western Regions, there is another thing that is lacking. I call this thing iodine."

"Iodine?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, it's iodine. If people don't eat this iodine for a long time, they will be weak and sick. In severe cases, the neck will be swollen like a gourd and even kill people." Chen Jingke continued:

"Not only that, but it will also affect future generations. If the parents are seriously deficient in iodine, the children born will be disabled and idiots. And kelp is rich in iodine, and eating kelp can supplement iodine."

"So that's how it is, that's how it is." Li Shimin murmured, his expression also a little excited.

The entire Western Regions were shocked, but he had grasped the news before everyone else, and also knew the solution. There were too many articles to do in it.

To put it simply, if you prove a point to the people of the Western Regions, then just selling seaweed can generate a huge amount of income for the national treasury.

What's more, mastering the kelp will also pinch the lifeline of the Western Regions and provide too many benefits for the subsequent expansion of Datang.

However, his brows frowned immediately...

"Kelp is only found in the Texas sea area, or is it found in all sea areas?"

"There are fewer waters in Dezhou where kelp is cold, and there are more waters in Silla and Baekje." Chen Jingke said.

"In this way, this business will be difficult to do." Li Shimin said disappointedly.

"So we have to process this thing a little bit." Chen Jingke said sinisterly: "Let the doctors add a few common medicines to cover up the taste of kelp, and then grind it into powder..."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said: "It should be so, it should be so. Haha... I will leave this matter to Guanyin's maid, and she will complain every day that the medical school cannot make ends meet."

"Well, it's just right to give it to the empress." Chen Jingke said.

This business is not suitable to be done in an individual capacity. From the very beginning, Chen Jingke had no intention of doing it by himself, and it is indeed more appropriate to hand it over to his eldest grandson Wugou.

Glass, sugar and other businesses have opened up sales, and she has a mature business channel in her hands, and can easily sell kelp products to people in the Western Regions.Moreover, she is the queen, so she can better cooperate with the imperial court to maximize the benefits of kelp products.

Li Shimin said excitedly: "Okay, okay, Jingke, you have made another great contribution."

Chen Jingke said with a silly smile: "Why do I hear this so familiar?"

Li Shimin burst out laughing, and said: "It is indeed familiar, I feel familiar. But you have indeed made too many contributions. If I hadn't married Xiao Sizi to you, I don't even know how to reward you."

Chen Jingke quickly said: "It's enough to have a little Si. We value different things. In my opinion, a little Si is more important than those."

Li Shimin was very pleased, this son-in-law was found well.

Afterwards, Chen Jingke talked about other matters, saying: "Your Majesty, the reform can be declared successful at this stage. The next step is to use Chinese civilization to unify the thinking. After I went back and thought about it, I found a better way."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and said, "Oh, what method?"

Chen Jingke said: "The date of the Yellow Emperor's enthronement can be used as the beginning of the era, and the era of the Yellow Emperor can be set as the Kaiyuan Jinian."

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Using the date of the Yellow Emperor's enthronement as the starting point...why do you have such an idea?"

Chen Jingke thought for a while and asked, "Does the sage know how many years have passed since the first year of Jingning?"

"This..." Li Shimin was dumbfounded.He doesn't even know which emperor's reign name Ning is, so how to calculate it?

Moreover, the reign names of Chinese emperors are too complicated, some have been used for decades, and some have only been used for one or two years.Even a professional historian can only calculate it by comparing it with history books.

Chen Jingke didn't expect him to answer this question. Seeing that he couldn't answer, he announced the answer himself: "According to the Kaiyuan era, the first year of Jingning is Kaiyuan 2664, and the 13th year of Zhenguan is also the year of Kaiyuan 3336. We can easily Calculated 672 years ago."

"Now does the sage know why I want to use the Kaiyuan calendar?"

Li Shimin naturally understood his intention, but he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of writing the year of Kaiyuan in front of his year name, so he asked, "What should the Yellow Emperor do before he ascends the throne?"

"Use 'before Kaiyuan' to express it. For example, the year before Huangdi's accession to the throne is expressed as the year before Kaiyuan, and the two years before he ascended the throne are expressed as the year before Kaiyuan...the year he was born is 20 years before Kaiyuan." Chen Jingke Said.

Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face: "If that's the case, why not use the date of the founding of the Tang Dynasty as the starting point of the era?"

Chen Jingke said: "Saint, your ambition is to become the co-lord of the world, and you will be divided in the future."

"Using the Yellow Emperor Era can not only tell the world about your aspirations, but also show your broad mind. At the same time, it also tells the world that you are the orthodox Yellow Emperor."

Li Shimin's face was cloudy and uncertain. He wanted to use the date of the founding of the Tang Dynasty as the starting point of the era, but he also felt that what Chen Jingke said was reasonable, so he was a little undecided for a while.

Chen Jingke also looked at him nervously, waiting for his answer.

To be honest, the era is just for the convenience of calculating time, and it doesn't matter which day is used as the starting point of the era.But Chen Jingke still hopes to use the Yellow Emperor Era.

Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will be replaced by other dynasties. If the Tang Dynasty is adopted as the starting point of the era, will the new dynasty continue to adopt this standard?

Difficult, more likely to be abolished.

There is a high probability that the new dynasty will use the date of its own dynasty's founding as the first year of the era, so that it will lose its original intention of establishing the era of the era.

The Yellow Emperor's chronology is the most stable. The Tang Dynasty gave up using its own date of founding of the country as the chronology standard. Would the later dynasties have the nerve to do so?
If such a thick-skinned emperor really appeared, then he would recognize it too.

As for using the birthdays of Lao Tzu, Confucius and other saints as the era standard... Chen Jingke never considered that too many Chinese saints use whoever is disrespectful to other saints.

Besides, with Lao Tzu, will Confucius disciples agree?With Confucius, is it true that the Li family is easy to bully?Therefore, using the Yellow Emperor to date the year is the least controversial, and no one dares to object.
