Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 107 The leisurely life of the deputy commander of the Baiting Army

Sanle refers to Anmole, Pilele, and Helile, and Sanle pulp is made by fermenting these three medicinal materials.Since the founding of the country in the Tang Dynasty, the Persians who came to Middle-earth brought the technology of brewing samurai wine.

The Persians mixed these three kinds of plants together to make samara wine, which not only relieves heat and eliminates plague, but also invigorates the spleen and eliminates food.Sanlejiang wine, which has medicinal effects, became a famous wine in Chang'an City at that time.Folkized over time.

This wine has a great feature, that is, the alcohol content is extremely low!

Anyway, Fang Chongyong was drinking it as a post-meal digestion drink.

As for how the small amount of Sanle Porridge in the Baiting Army came from, it was because someone in the Baiting Army came from Persia and knew how to brew this kind of wine.

The sun was setting and the cool breeze was blowing. Before the temperature difference between day and night in Baitingbao changed drastically, Fang Chongyong moved the "Taishi Chair" he had just built according to his intention to the top of Baitingbao. He sat on it and shook the chair gently, feeling the Looking at the magnificent scenery in front of you.

Drink a cup of Sanlejiang and look at the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty. It is really a worthwhile trip!
"Brother Fang Xian, I am not worried that the recipe is not good, but I just donate it to the saint. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Xin Yunjing, who was standing next to Fang Chongyong, asked in a low voice. He was standing with Fang Chongyong sitting, making it look like he was the envoy of the Baiting Army!
But to be honest, Fang Chongyong is the real uncle here in Baitingbao. He can be said to have great hands and eyes, and is much more impressive than Xin Yunjing, the military envoy who manages a thousand people.

Knowing that the prescription has been handed over to Xiao Jiong, the new envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and that the medicinal materials will be exclusively provided by the "outstanding man" Baitinghai Ranch from now on, Xin Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, but raised her heart in her throat.

This matter is really full of joy and sorrow.

The good news is that as long as the Bai Ting army uses the relationship to operate and hype, it will be very easy to promote this medicine called "Shunqi Suoyang Tea" to the Hexi Corridor and even the Western Regions.Because of the reputation of Li Longji, a sage of the Tang Dynasty, to endorse.

Good things that the emperor used, anyone who doesn't use them is a fool, those who have the conditions will use them, and those who have no conditions will also use them if they create conditions!

What's more, Fang Chongyong is well versed in marketing. He knows very well that the more low-key a name is, the more mysterious it will be when it is circulated in private.

Xin Yunjing feels that this kind of thing is just like a beauty wearing clothes. If she is naked, she looks like a beast, but is vulgar and unattractive to men.

If you wear too much, you will be beautiful, but if you are too solemn and less charming, you will keep men at a distance.I only want to watch from a distance and don't want to play.

Only clothing that is vaguely visible and half-covered can attract men's attention and encourage them to do bad things.

The name of this medicine is just like this, Shunqi is to regulate the spleen and stomach, and Cynomorium is to strengthen the body and nourish the vitality.When a good person sees this "tea name", he can only say that he understands everything, and there is no need for too much explanation.This kind of name is much better than "Zhanshengjiao", which sounds less serious at first sight.

It can be said that those who have seen it will not buy it, those who have bought it will not ask, and those who have used it will not tell.

Xin Yunjing thought of women's clothes from the marketing method, and couldn't help but be in awe of Fang Chongyong's "talent".

No matter what happens to this child in the future, just looking at it now, his little brain is really not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Don't worry, a saint is also a human being, and he pays more attention to the harmony of yin and yang. Brother, don't think too much. Bai Tingjun sells medicinal materials without stealing or robbing. The money comes clearly. Even if the saint finds out in the future, he will only say Xin Jun To make money wisely."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand indifferently and said.

"This Baitinghai is really picturesque, and the years are so peaceful!"

Looking at the lake in the distance again, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Who says it's not? Since the decline of the Turkic people, the grazing around Baitinghai has been in order. It's really a paradise on earth."

Xin Yunjing was also very emotional. A few years ago, the Turks still had some strength. The Baiting army was the front line of the confrontation between the Tang army and the Turkic cavalry, and the last barrier to prevent them from going south.

At that time, even though it was a picturesque place, not many people paid attention to it.Because the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, if you are not careful, you will die!

Nowadays, the Tubo people are running rampant, and in the process of confronting the Tang Dynasty, they can actually gain the upper hand in many cases!Therefore, Baitinghai, far away from the Tubo border, became the rear area for the Tang army to herd and raise horses!

Just seeing that "above" placed Fang Chongyong in Bai Tinghai, Xin Yunjing was deeply in awe of the strong background behind him.This is really not the treatment that ordinary officials parachuted to Hexi from the imperial court can receive.

Even if Xin Yunjing himself was able to serve as the envoy of the Baiting Army, he had made a lot of military exploits and used a lot of connections to be able to take up the post.

"I'm tired. I'll go back to sleep first."

Fang Chongyong yawned, Sanle Porridge was not good at all, he wanted to sleep well after drinking it.

Like a young man from Wuling who was walking a dog during a cockfight in Chang'an, he greeted casually and left the tower.

Arriving at the wing room at the highest point in Baiting Castle, as soon as Fang Chongyong came in, he saw Anaye making the bed and folding the quilt, busy cleaning.

He sat down at the table as if nothing had happened, spread out a large piece of paper, and wrote down the name of Baitinghai's specialties on the paper.

Fennel, Cynomorium, Cistanche, wolfberry, licorice, shallots, an unknown melon, Musu (a kind of pasture)...it is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen. If there is no war here, it would be great.

Fang Chongyong recorded the things he inspected around today one by one, and the inexplicable emptiness and uneasiness in his heart disappeared immediately.

The eating, drinking, and having fun in front of Xin Yunjing are all Fang Chongyong's protection. After all, the identity of the deputy military envoy has divided the other party's power. Who knows what Xin Yunjing's true thoughts are.

Acting a little different will make Xin Yunjing feel at ease. The so-called guarding against others is indispensable.

For these, Fang Chongyong still thought clearly.

"You will go back to Chang'an in the future, so what's the point of recording the specialties here?"

Anaye seemed to have taken gunpowder, seeing Fang Chongyong writing at his desk as soon as he came back, he was so angry!

"Traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books. When reading, you need to take notes."

Fang Chongyong said lazily and put today's notes into a special wooden box. He would compile them into a special volume when he has time when he returns to Chang'an.

There will be another book published in the future, called "Fang Yanei's Travels to the Western Regions", which will definitely be passed down to future generations.

What was the most important thing when living in ancient times?

Wang Tu's hegemony?

Maybe, but there is only one person who can be the emperor, and only a few people can be the top nobleman. How many people can have such an achievement in the world?
The meaning of survival in ancient times lies in "writing books and establishing stories" and passing them on to future generations!
But there is no need to explain these big principles to Anaye, a native girl from the Western Regions.

"Um... Fang Laique told me today that he wants me to come and sleep with him at night. What does sleeping with him mean?"

Anaye asked with some embarrassment.

Sleeping?

Fang Chongyong was taken aback for a moment, then he was horrified.

Let alone the past life, even if you let such a young girl sleep with you now, it would be a crazy thing!

"What that little fool said, you don't have to take it seriously in the future."

Fang Chongyong sighed helplessly.

"I also think that he also said that you promised to let him marry the prime minister's daughter in the future.

I asked him what his identity was, and he triumphantly said that it was a part of your family.Doesn’t this have the same identity as me?What's there to be proud of!
What's even more irritating is that Fang Laique also told me not to have any ideas for him. He doesn't look down on me. Only the prime minister's daughter is worthy of him. "

Anaye covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud, thinking of Fang Laique, a little fool, telling her these irrelevant things in a serious manner, she couldn't learn that kind of tone and demeanor.

"Go to sleep."

Fang Chongyong felt tired when he mentioned Fang Laique.

He pointed to the wide bed and said, "You sleep in it."

"Oh...then what else do you need me to do?"

Anaye asked confused. She didn't know about men and women, but she also knew that she would definitely be Fang Chongyong's woman in the future.

"Just lie there obediently."

Fang Zhongyong sighed with a drooped face.

Only the girl raised by her father is really pitiful, and I can't blame her.

"Is bedtime as simple as that?"

Even if Anaye is a fool, she still knows that there is a word "Servant" in the word "Servant".As a slave, how could she just lie down?
"Can you please stop mentioning that word?"

Fang Chongyong opened his mouth to explain, but finally sighed.

Anyway, Anaye will have to sleep with her in the future. When she grows up, she can slowly understand this kind of thing by herself.

The two of them turned off the oil lamp and lay on the bed. Anaye turned sideways and pressed the palms of her hands on one of Fang Chongyong's arms.In the dim light in the room, Fang Chongyong saw her big eyes staring at his face.

"what happened?"

"When will we go to Chang'an?"

Anaye asked softly.

"The war is about to begin. It's impossible to return to Chang'an."

Fang Chongyong said helplessly.

Once the Tang army fought with Tibet, a long section of the post road from Hexi to Chang'an would be unsafe, and all the post stations would be shut down.

He had inquired with Xin Yunjing that general officials would not come and go when the war was raging, unless the generals were transferred, but at that time there were often hundreds of guards accompanying them.

In history, when Wang Zhongsi was transferred from Longyou to Hexi, he did not take up the post alone. There were Li Guangbi, Ge Shuhan and others in the accompanying team. Thinking about it, I know that the number of this team will not be particularly small!

"You must be at least 14 years old to study in the Imperial Medical Office. Even if they treat you as a boy, you must be at least 14 years old to enter!"

Fang Chongyong emphasized again: "And you failed the assessment, you need to continue studying in it. When you finish your studies, you will no longer be a little girl. It's really too early to think so much now!"

"I really want to learn it soon."

Anaye sighed and said, not taking Fang Chongyong's words seriously.

"Inherit your father's hospital?"

"Almost, I will always go back to Liangzhou City to have a look."

Anaye said with some uncertainty. The more she knew, the less likely she felt that she would come back to inherit the medical center in the future.

Perhaps, he will practice medicine in the Chang'an aristocratic circle.

She is a little uncertain about the future.

……

"Write a book and establish a theory that will be passed down to future generations. I originally thought that Ge Nu only wanted to be an official, but I didn't expect that he would be the same as Zhang Jiuling and others."

Li Longji laughed loudly in the study room of the office building of Xingqing Palace, and put Li Linfu's "draft" on the table.

"Back to the sages, the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty began to be compiled in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, and it was written by more than a dozen people before and after, but it still has not been completed.

Wei Chen just wants to get it done.

The difficulty of this dictionary lies not in the enumeration, but in the annotation.Only by citing scriptures and classics, can we promote its beauty. "

Li Linfu bowed deeply to Li Longji, bowed and said.

This classic was compiled by Li Longji in the [-]th year of Kaiyuan.

He also personally formulated the six articles of theory, education, etiquette, politics, punishment and affairs as the compilation outline, and Lizheng Academy (later renamed Jixian Academy) took charge of the work.

The time span spans more than ten years. Under the auspices of successive prime ministers such as Zhang Shuo, Xiao Song, and Zhang Jiuling, more than ten people including Xu Jian, Wei Shu, Liu Zhenglan, and Lu Shanjing participated in the compilation. All of them are of outstanding literary talent in the world. man of.

From the perspective of literary accomplishment, Li Linfu's participation is an insult to "Tang Liudian".

From the perspective of legal and administrative capabilities, Li Linfu's participation was the only opportunity to complete this masterpiece.

Although Ji Ge didn't say anything, he actually agreed with Li Linfu's point of view, that is, commenting on classics is the core of completing this work!
There is a big problem with the compilation of books by the previous prime ministers, that is, others cannot understand them!
Their drafts have extremely high requirements for the threshold of reading, turning the national classics into the pride of the literati circle!
On this point, Brother Ji is completely on Li Linfu's side.It's okay to write out the classics in a complicated way, as long as people can understand them!

"Tang Six Codes" is an administrative code about the official system of the Tang Dynasty. It stipulates the organization, establishment, responsibilities, personnel, grades, and treatment of the central and local government agencies in the Tang Dynasty. The notes also describe the historical evolution of the official system.

Ji Ge's requirements for it are detailed and specific beyond the usual standards.

Obviously, the previous prime ministers did not meet the ideal appearance in Ji Ge's mind.

"Well, that's fine, Ge Nu can figure it out."

Li Longji yawned and seemed exhausted.Last night when he saw Huanhuan wearing Taoist robes, he was very excited and couldn't help playing for a while longer.

Unexpectedly, time is not forgiving. It is indeed quite difficult for a man in his 50s to deal with a woman in her early twenties.Brother Ji still suffers from backache and leg pain, and he is not in the mood to discuss government affairs with Li Linfu.

"Regarding the reform of the imperial examination system, Wei Chen believes that the ranks of officials in the prefecture and county should be raised, and the qualifications of candidates for the examination should be strictly controlled in each prefecture. Chang'an will not reform the Jinshi Department for the time being, but first increase the Mingjing Department. Difficulty of assessment."

Li Linfu said cautiously.

Li Longji was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Linfu, who had vowed to reform the imperial examination and shouted to be beaten and killed, would actually take such small steps!

"Isn't it too conservative? Ge Nu can take a bigger step. What are you afraid of when I take care of you?"

Li Longji said dissatisfiedly that he doesn't have the slightest liking for those people who play with words and ink. These people are useless and annoying when they see them!

Of course, this is just Brother Ji's temporary thought.In the future, when it's his turn to write sacrificial rites, he may have to read the words of Zhang Jiuling and He Zhizhang again.

"Returning to the saint, the reform of the imperial examination system must also be carried out step by step. I think it can be done gradually."

Li Linfu replied calmly.

"Well, let's do it then."

Li Longji nodded slightly. He just wanted to have a good sleep now.

At this moment, Gao Lishi hurried in, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Why is Rikishi so panicked?"

Li Longji asked with a teasing look on his face, Gao Lishi was steady in his work, and rarely had such an expression.

Gao Lishi looked at Li Linfu, then saluted with crossed hands and said, "The Turks invaded Hexi and fought with the Baiting army in Baitinghai. Now the Turks have left [-] cavalry to besiege Baitingbao, and the rest are going straight to Liangzhou City!
This is the battle report from three days ago! "

Hearing this, Li Longji stood up abruptly, his expression horrified!
"Now that the Turks have been torn apart, who gave them the courage to invade our country, the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Longji said angrily!

This unexpected move by the Turks completely disrupted the Tang army's deployment against Tubo in Hexi!
