Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"So, Dayan definitely didn't force me."

"This is to make money, not to do corvee work. Our Majesty has never mentioned the matter of corvee service."

"Actually...compared to the single-mindedness of the Tang Dynasty, you can understand that each of you performs his own duties."

"For example, in the Tang Dynasty, everyone had to do corvee labor and every household had to farm, but we in Tang Dynasty don't have to do that."

"For example, I don't like farming, so I don't do it. Instead, I do my current job in exchange for wages, and then use the wages to buy food."

The old man talked eloquently.

Du Ruhui was stunned: "Do you have enough food?"

Now the model of Dayan does seem to be more powerful.

But what about food issues?
Even if all the people in the Tang Dynasty grew food, there would be locust plagues every year, and some people would even starve to death.

This is still the Central Plains, and the soil is excellent.

If we were in this far north, the soil would be impossible to cultivate. Otherwise, the Turks would not stop farming and just think about going south to rob.

It can be said.

North of Youzhou, this is a pile of wasteland!
"There will definitely be enough food, hahaha. We have a treasure that can produce a thousand catties per acre and is durable!"

The old man smiled very openly.

And these words.

Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong and others were left stunned in place.

Yield per acre?Can we focus on production in the North?
This!
What an incredible food crop this is! !

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Chai Shao next to him, on the other hand, had a wry smile on his face.

He knew about potatoes the last time he came here.

And after going back.

He sent the news back to Datang, but I don't know why the news didn't come out.

Chai Shao also had suspicions in his mind.

Probably... Li Shimin was shocked when he saw this divine creature with a yield of one thousand kilograms per acre, or perhaps he couldn't believe it.

For fear of far-reaching consequences, the news was hidden.

Even more!
Chai Shao believed that the Tang envoy sent out this time, knowing that Dayan was an enemy, was sent because his Majesty wanted to find out what happened based on the potato incident.

There are big reasons.

Of course, this is just his guess.

now.

The old man looked at their shocked eyes and laughed: "You don't believe it, right? That's normal. I didn't believe it at first. After I saw it and believed it, everyone who came after me also didn't believe it. In the end, they believed it after seeing it with their own eyes. Everyone knows... I, His Majesty Dayan! I am the emperor sent from heaven, the real emperor!!!"

Speaking of this, his eyes were wild.

Look at the sky and open your hands.

His voice trembled.

"Only the true emperor! Can give all this and create everything magical!"

"Think again about General Tiance who ascended the throne during the Xuanwu Sect incident in the Tang Dynasty. He was not in the right position! He did not protect the people. He watched the Turks kill us one by one and did nothing. He is not the emperor. Our Majesty Dayan Yang Kuan is the one!!"

"Sooner or later, we, Dayan, will definitely fight back!!"

His voice was impassioned.

He is obviously at the bottom, but Jing is also... thinking about the problems for the entire country of Dayan.

And this is the sense of belonging.

For example, in China in later generations, although many people criticize the development of the country, and laymen talk non-stop, these are all good things, just because they really want to do good for the country.

Although... their suggestions are useless like rubbish, but at least they have a heart.

And if it is a country where there is no sense of belonging.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, many places were struggling with food and clothing, and people often even starved to death.

Survival is a problem. Who cares whether you are called Tang, Dayan or Turk?As long as I give you food, you will be our father!I will recognize your country.

This is why the Han people later welcomed the Manchus into the Pass.

Even if eating is a problem, who cares whether he is Han or not?Even if the Turks gave me food, they would still open the gate.

now.

Looking at the old man who was so excited that he was crazy, Du Ruhui was angry that he insulted Li Shimin so much and denied the great coup of their former officials in the Qin Palace.

but….
He is also full of powerlessness.

How should the future Tang Dynasty stop this terrifying empire?

at the moment.

They are limited by land and population. What will happen when they develop?
of course!

Du Ruhui also knew that he would strangle him while he was rising, but now... Datang was also powerless.

I have a lot of things to deal with at home.

The conflict between His Majesty and the aristocratic family also became increasingly radical with the imperial examination.

To the south of the Tang Dynasty, there was Jiangdong, which dominated the mountains.

If internal fighting continues, how should we deal with the outside world?
I'm afraid that when the anger is revealed to the outside world, the aristocratic family will directly revolt, right?

At that time.

How to deal with internal and external troubles?
Datang is really intentional but powerless.

Now, Du Ruhui can only place his hope on the Turks and Goguryeo, hoping that they can restrain the rise of Dayan. After Datang finishes handling the family affairs, they can deal with Dayan unanimously.

But actually….
There was such civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Kuan's plan was not lacking.

He followed the chief's advice and married Zheng Chang'e, the granddaughter of the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and used this as a springboard to tie the Zheng family to the warship.

Although he married a girl whom he didn't know about her appearance, character, or other girls, the King of Chu also got help from this.

The Zheng family began to work hard to make things happen in the Tang Dynasty.

The current situation of civil strife in the Tang Dynasty is endless. Behind many things... the Zheng family is the driving force.

In this era, the aristocratic family is truly extremely terrifying.

For details, you can also refer to the Star-Spangled Kingdom in later generations. The Yuta people occupied many important positions and could control the direction of the Star-Spangled Kingdom's attack without the need for war.

Economic and public opinion occupation are always more important than anything else.

The aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty were only more powerful than these.

There are only a few Tiance generals in the history. Otherwise, if the Tang Dynasty is run by aristocratic families, just like if Yang Guang doesn't listen to advice, his Sui Dynasty will perish in two generations.

"All right."

"It's useless for me to talk about this magical object that can produce a thousand kilograms per acre. I won't be able to explain its greatness in a eloquent way. Anyway... you will understand it when you see it for yourselves in the future."

"In short, even if we don't farm, we can live pretty well just on this month's salary!"

The madness in the old man's eyes faded away, and his smile blossomed, and he smiled happily.

The workers around him who were resting with him also nodded.

"Yeah, it's so hard in the Tang Dynasty. I think you guys are quite young."

"How about...don't go back to Datang and stay here? Stay here and take care of yourself."

"I heard that His Majesty's think tank is still studying specific working-age retirement, elderly subsidies, etc., a lot of messy things, but they are all beneficial anyway! It is beneficial to you old people."

"These are absolutely not available in the Tang Dynasty. Why are you going back? Do you have to do corvee every year?"

"Datang is really too backward. Don't compare Datang with Dayan."

"That's it."

"......."

Others also started talking about it.

Du Ruhui was speechless for a moment.

Qin Qiong and Kong Yingda were stunned.

give money?

You won't be paid for doing corvee work. I'm afraid this is just a part-time job, right?No wonder so many people are working!

Dare to work more and get more money.

Compared to the free corvee service in the past, who could not be happy now that he was doing easier work?
The same is true for analogies to later generations.

People always hate going to work, that's because everyone goes to work, there's nothing special about it.

But if it is the mainstream to work six days a week, and you only need to work three days, you will receive the same amount or even more.

Will you still hate it?

Compared to most people, you are already at the upper level.

And the same is true for Dayan now.

Although you have to work six days a week, compared with the previous life of slaves and even the life of free corvee, this can be said to be a qualitative change. Who can not like it?
People always do.

Where there is contrast, there is happiness.

As long as most people stay in the next class, and you are in the previous class, you may still be miserable and sad sometimes, but when you see the people in your next class, you see them still wandering around the subsistence line while you only care about trivial things. The pain was sad, but it was no longer sad at once.

Even happy.

So whenever you are suffering at work, when you are unable to change and feel uncomfortable, don't look up but look down. Maybe look at less developed areas, such as black states, and you will feel happy.

Sometimes, happiness can be found by yourself.

now.

Du Ruhui pursed his chapped lips.

He was speechless.

I just wanted to laugh at them, saying that they were so old and still had to do corvee labor, but I didn't expect that I would be killed again.

Du Ruhui sighed.

At this moment, he really couldn't find any place in the Tang Dynasty that was better than Great Yan, and he became more and more helpless.

Soon.

This group of workers rested for a while, and then went back to their busy work.

From them,
There was no force at all, and no reluctance at all.

All willingly.

Think again about the Tang Dynasty….
Du Ruhui was silent.

He never expected that King Great Yan would choose to do this.

According to the traditional concept of the Han people, those who perform corvee service for free do not need to pay. However, if the corvee service is abolished, money must be paid. Do you have to pay money?
It would be great to change the name of these jobs and turn them into corvees without having to pay them. Do you have to pay them?

Is he stupid?
How much money would be saved if corvee labor was requisitioned?

But in the next breath, Du Ruhui smiled bitterly.

I didn’t expect that I was still calculating accounts like this, still thinking about corvee work, and thinking about losing money….
No wonder so many people don't think about the Tang Dynasty at all, and they don't look down on the Tang Dynasty at all.

If I were a citizen of Dayan, of course I would look down on Datang.

"Keming, Dayan... is really amazing. I feel... there are many places worth learning."

After a long time, Qin Qiong said softly.

Du Ruhui nodded.

He looked at the group of students from a distance, and then at the group of migrant workers talking and laughing.

Gaze, complicated.

"Kong Daru, can our Hongwen Museum... also offer professional courses to cultivate professional talents?"

"Don't just be someone who only knows Zhihu, can we also keep moving forward towards the goal of establishing a heart for the world, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge for the saints, and creating peace for all generations!"

Du Ruhui looked at Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda, the three giants in the hearts of scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

Kong Yingda was speechless.

He has been reading books all his life, which are all left down by his ancestors. He can only read and explain the ideas left in the books by his ancestors. How can he know about innovation?
You may know something about it, but how do you know about physical chemistry?
People's creativity, innovation, and acceptance of new things are strongest when they are young. He has long... passed that age...
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

next moment.

Kong Yingda stared intently at the group of practicing students, his lips a little dry.

Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous….
These eight words kept lingering in his mind.

But he didn't know what to do.

now.

Yu Shinan and Gaiwenda looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

They are one of the smartest people.

Of course, we can see the magic of Dayan right now.

but….
They don't admit it!
This is just like the workplace. Many interns are obviously more innovative than the seniors in the workplace, but the seniors in the workplace don't accept it and even use experience to pressure them. What they are best at is using their best areas to attack the interns' weakest points. field of.

Use this to maintain your position and gain a higher social status.

The same is true for Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda.

If these things spread in the Tang Dynasty, would they be able to accept these emerging knowledge with the knowledge that has been fixed in their minds?
No!

At that time, there will only be new great scholars born, and if these great scholars are not themselves, they will take their position and make their status even lower.

Therefore.

Yu Shinan's eyes were filled with anger, and his voice trembled as he said, "What a... What a strange and obscene skill!"

"Prime Minister Du, these Dayan children, at this age, do not study the essence of my Confucianism and Taoism, but instead learn all kinds of messy things here, the future... has no future!!"

Gavinda on the side kept echoing.

Kong Yingda, on the other hand, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

When Du Ruhui saw this, he looked deeply at Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda.

then.

He sighed and shouted that it was time for everyone to go back.

It's getting late.

Du Ruhui also felt very tired.

Not just the body.

So does the mind.

Everything today made him feel tired.

It is a kind of tired feeling that others seem to be far ahead of you in every aspect, but you can never catch up.

Back at the inn, Du Ruhui returned to his room.

He sits on the bed.

Just sit there quietly.

It wasn't until late at night, with the moonlight shining down from the window sill, that he lay on the bed.

"Da Yan, how could this happen? This kind of vitality, seriously...seriously..."

Du Ruhui sighed and shook his head.

After a long while, he continued: "Seriously, I, the Tang Company, can't even see my back."

Du Ruhui recalled what he had seen today, whether it was the perfume shop that had just started or those who were addicted to classes, but so-called Confucian giants like Kong Yingda did not agree at all.

Whether it's the concrete road behind or the Yanchi Road...
Everything.

Dayan is full of vitality.

Vitality from top to bottom.

The people have hope, the people have ambition, and the people have energy.

And every day, Great Yan is undergoing huge changes.

Just like what Chai Shao said, he didn't see those things when he came last time. In just a few months, it has already been started and even partially completed, and huge changes have taken place.

There was a huge difference between Yanyun City a few months ago and Yanyun City a few months later.

This place is not like Chang'an. What it is like today will be the same tomorrow, and it will be the same the day after tomorrow...
No change!
