Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 394
In the scorching sun, Fan Zheng was walking by the Kunming Pool wearing a bamboo hat.

Compared with previous years, the water area of ​​Kunming Pool has shrunk a little, making Shanglin and Kufeng worried.

"Shangguan, it's getting more and more difficult to divert Fengshui to Doumen. The water source is not enough to make ends meet. At most ten years, the water will become a dry land."

Ku Feng pointed to the reeds that appeared in the Kunming Pond: "A few years ago, it was all under the water surface, and it was impossible to grow reeds!"

There is only one central idea when complaining about suffering, let’s build the canal!

Repairing the diversion canal cost a lot of money, even if Ku Feng didn't mean to make a profit out of it, how could the pork not be stained with oil?
Do you understand the original intention of each yamen's love for large-scale construction projects?

Due to the diversion of Fengshui River, it was difficult to divert water, and the survival of Kunming Lake lay in the Tang Dynasty.

The land revealed by the drop in water level is the aforementioned Qiuhuangtian, but it will no longer be submerged by the Kunming Pool.

The people near Doumen are under the jurisdiction of Shanglin Department and Chang'an County at the same time.

The farmer replanted crops on the autumn field, even if Ku Feng was unhappy, he couldn't say more.

Who doesn't want to get two extra bites!
However, seeing the excrement from a field of autumn fields seeping into the Kunming Pond, Ku Feng still got mad. He pointed at a few women and middle-aged men and yelled: "Melon skin! You are planting crops by the Kunming Pond. I will do it for you!" I didn’t mention you, and even made dung into the Kunming Pond, believe it or not, I ruined your crops!”

Shanglin Ling Guanda, he had the final say, the woman and the middle-aged man crossed their hands awkwardly to take the order, shoveling sand and soil from other places to cover the overflowing excrement.

Taking two deep breaths, Ku Feng turned around and smiled at Fan Zheng: "Shangguan, forgive me, the villager and the foolish woman are just so ignorant of the rules."

Fan Zheng smiled without saying a word.

Although Ku Feng appeared vicious, he was actually protecting these farmers. If he was new to the officialdom, he might not be able to see through this intention.

It is a general rule that in the early days of the founding of the country, there were far fewer purely black-hearted officials than when the rites collapsed and the music deteriorated.

The birds in the air are flying around, and the foxes and rabbits on the ground are in a hurry.

Is this going to be an earthquake?
Ku Feng and those farm households were not surprised at all, and they were all indifferent.

"The bird thief is out again!" the women muttered.

The sound of horseshoes was loud, the three cavalry circled from the south, the strings of hunting bows moved, the bamboo arrows pierced through the air, and shot down several waterfowls in a blink of an eye.

The sixtieth old man at the head didn't even stop the horse, hung his body sideways, stretched his arms to pick up the prey, and immediately bounced back to the saddle to sit upright, his movements were clean and neat, without the slightest pause.

"This is General Youwuwei, Li Keshi, the Duke of Danyang, and the younger brother of Li Jing, the Duke of Wei. Befu is in the south of Kunming, and he loves shooting and hunting." Ku Feng introduced with a wry smile.

There is such a person on the ground, it is still a little headache.

Fortunately, except for Li Keshi's passion for shooting and hunting, there is nothing wrong with him, otherwise Ku Feng would be overwhelmed by just his rank.

Those who take the life of a Shangguan to sacrifice the flag like Liu Rengui in the incident are, after all, a minority.

There are not many emperors who can tolerate Liu Rengui's arrogance like Li Shimin.

Fan Zheng looked at Li Keshi's attire, and instantly understood why this general's achievements were not as good as his elder brother's, and why his heirs were all high-ranking officials during Tang Xuanzong's time.

Not to mention that he was the hero of the Xuanwu Gate Change, according to Li Keshi's rank and position in the sixteen guards, in addition to opening the crossbow, a small amount of armor is allowed.

But, look at Master Li Ke, he is dressed in commoner clothes, not even leather armor;

A hunting bow, not the longbow or hornbow used in the army;
Hu Luli is full of bamboo arrows, and there is absolutely no soldier arrow;
On the victory hook of the saddle, not only does it not have a horse lance, but it does not even have a lacquer gun. What is hung is a double-pronged fork that can not be restrained by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Cautious enough?

However, the stirrups and saddle of his three-flowered horse are exaggeratedly gold-plated.

Even the emperor could not doubt such a general.

Master Li galloped his horse, put away his hunting bow, spun around, and stopped five steps before Fan Zheng.

"Loyalty General Fan Zheng?"

Fan Zheng laughed awkwardly, a miscellaneous general was really helpless in front of the real general.

Fan Zheng crossed his hands and saluted: "My officer, Fan Zheng, I have met Duke Danyang."

Master Li jumped off his horse, raised Fan Zheng's arm, and laughed loudly: "San Lang talked about what General Zhongwu did in Liaodong. Although he regretted the lack of military force of General Zhongwu, he was full of praise for the condescending flying cavalry."

"It just so happened that Saburo was on duty, and I served wine and drinks for the old man in Befu. How could I let it go when I saw General Zhongwu?"

"There are geese, there are birds, there is wine, and when you meet old people, how can you live up to the good wine?"

Fan Zheng's eyes are full of confusion, he doesn't know his family Saburo at all!

Fortunately, bird thief Li Keshi has always been enemies only with birds and beasts, so he doesn't have to worry about being harmed by him.

Sun Jiu led the nanny over, Lei Qi and Lei Jiu slowly leaned behind Fan Zheng, not letting down their vigilance.

"Hey, Lei Yongji's general is vigilant." Li Keshi laughed.

Although the bird thief's ancestral home is Danyangfang of the Li family in Longxi, his parents have moved to Sanyuan County, Yongzhou, and his uncle is the famous Han Qinhu.

In the battle of attacking Chang'an, he failed to catch up with Luo Yi, and later entered the Qin Palace, so he more or less knew about Fan Laoshi's deeds.

On the south bank of Kunming Pool, there is a seemingly simple house. There are two stone warding off evil spirits in front of the gate. The head has horns, the body is like a lion, and the back has wings.

To ward off evil spirits often appears in front of mausoleums.

Li Keshi proudly pointed to the stone to ward off evil spirits: "These two ward off evil spirits are left behind by the later Han Dynasty, and the evil ward off after that will no longer have wings."

"Sanlang, come out to entertain the guests!"

A middle-aged man with a straight face and dressed in hemp shoes came out, and when he saw Fan Zheng, he smiled and crossed his hands: "Li Kai from the Shangren Bureau of Dianzhong Province, I have seen Shangguan."

Those who self-reported themselves as affiliated with the department without adding a suffix were the highest officials. From the fifth rank, they were promoted to the imperial court and were on par with the director of Jingyuan, but the ranks of Shaoqing and General Zhongwu were higher than him.

Fan Zheng suddenly realized.

In the Battle of Liaodong, Fan Zheng had seen Li Kai accompany the emperor and fight bravely.

Fan Zheng envied Li Kai's invincibility under the gun, and Li Kai envied flying cavalry to fly freely.

As a result, the atmosphere of mutual flattery became heated, and even veterans like Sun Jiu grinned when he heard this.

Master Li changed into clean clothes and came out, he laughed and said, "It's been hundreds of years since Kongming Lanterns came out. Has anyone ever thought of using a similar method to send people up?"

"My nephew is quick-witted. I will have more contacts with Saburo in the future and bring him along. You are similar in age and it is easier to communicate."

Because they are similar in age, Li Kai is only ten years older than Fan Zheng.

The taste of game is good, and it tastes very fragrant.

"To tell you the truth, nephew, this old man has only loved this game all his life. It's more chewy and delicious than the ones raised at home."

Otherwise, why did those people after you pursue wild game?
Ha, civet?
Don't take the virus thrown by the enemy as the crime of the civet.

The wine is Jiannan Shaochun. Its origin can be traced back to the Warring States Period. It was selected as imperial wine in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After all, Xinghuacun's distillation technology has not been lost.
