Datang first village

"No, because at this time, the horses are not strong and the sheep are not fat. They have to wait until August to send troops. It is because of this that the saints will ascend the throne in advance. There is enough time for us to integrate our national strength and deal with the Turks. If we fight, we must win!" Li Jing is not afraid of defeat.It was a miserable victory.

Li Yuanxing took out another "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in classical Chinese and put it on the table: "If my brother wants a book, you must keep one for yourself. I have an idea, the Turks always have to eat, where is their food?" Come on, will they rob our granary?"

"Grannary? Goro has a plan?" Li Jing became interested, and his kneeling body straightened up a bit.

Li Yuanxing sat there cross-legged, kneeling in this position was like being tortured!

"Leave the granary for them, and add poison or croton powder!" Li Yuanxing said his strategy.

Li Jing laughed loudly: "Wu Lang's plan is feasible against the bandits, but not against the army. There are three difficulties. The Turks come with a 20 army. The Turks' 20 army is not 20. Plus the herdsmen behind them, At least four and a half million, how much food do I need? Secondly, how much Croton needs. Thirdly, the food of the army will be tested for poison!"

What Li Jing said was very simple, but Li Yuanxing understood it.

Poisoning 2 people will not solve the fundamental problem for the 20 army, and this is the key.

They talked about Romance of the Three Kingdoms again. Li Jing picked up the book again and read it while discussing the tactics in it with Li Yuanxing. The two really wanted to find a solution to deal with the Turks from this book.

When Li Jing read Changbanpo, he raised his head and glanced at Li Yuanxing.

"Are there any flowers on my face?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"I know why you gave the knife to Shubao. Shubao is like Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong in this book!" Li Jing's words reached Li Yuanxing's heart. over.

The sergeants only regarded it as a prince and a minister discussing military affairs, and no one dared to disturb them.

But who would have thought that Li Yuanxing would discuss novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms with Li Jing excitedly for a whole day, but he didn't say a few words about the real military situation.

That night, when Li Yuanxing returned to his Qin Palace, a seemingly young eunuch greeted him in front of the gate.

Seeing Li Yuanxing, he gave a thousand salutes: "His Royal Highness returns to the mansion. The slave is selected by the palace. Please give me a name from Your Highness!"

"I don't know much about giving names. If the name I said is not in line with the rules, you can tell me. You should be called Zheng He!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the name!" Zheng He knelt and thanked.

Whether the rules are rules or not, Zheng Hexin said that the prince's words are the rules, and the palace doesn't care what the name is.

Accompanying Li Yuanxing to the inner courtyard, there is no mistress in the palace right now, and Zheng He is taking care of everything.

"Your Highness, the stewards of Cui, Lu, and Wang's families have all come to me. They are asking what kind of woman you like, my lord." Li Yuanxing stopped when he heard this. He was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters.But it's wrong to think about it again, this is related to my future happiness.

Zheng He waited on the sidelines, even if he could earn a little money by selling the news, but first of all, the king of Qin was the first one he was loyal to.

Li Yuanxing thought about Datang's standards for beauty, and said that Datang liked fat beauties, but he had never really seen a few fat ladies.At this time Zheng He spoke again: "This time, several families have secretly expressed that there are several people in the family who are between 16 and [-] years old who are waiting to be married, and there will definitely be ones His Highness likes!"

The age of fourteen to sixteen stunned Li Yuanxing, which is too young.

I feel like a strange uncle tricking children into looking at goldfish.

Li Yuanxing smiled, and waved his hand lightly: "I don't like plump ones, it's better to be thinner. For them, this one is enough. If you talk too much, it seems that our Qin Palace cares too much about this matter. Since you can be sent here, you should understand that this king wants to appease these great families!"

"Yes!" Zheng He nodded respectfully.

Qiuxiang's two maids were not brought into Chang'an City, the two serving here were selected from the palace.According to Zheng He, it was also chosen by Empress Changsun herself.

"Would you like to give my sister-in-law some gift?" Li Yuanxing asked Zheng He.

Zheng He shook his head: "Recently, Your Highness should not give gifts. Last time, Your Highness's gift caused some little troubles for the empress. Those noble ladies came to the door one after another, just wanting to share one from the empress. Fortunately, the empress shared it beforehand. I gave it to other imperial concubines, if there are more pieces, the empress will definitely be troubled by those women!"

"good very good!"

A smart, independent and loyal eunuch is definitely a good helper for a prince.

"Tomorrow the merchants are going to invite me to a banquet, so you can accompany me!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that Zheng He could leave, and after sending the two new maids to rest, Li Yuanxing became rather depressed.There is really no nightlife in this Tang Dynasty, and there is even a curfew in the market.

It seems that there is also a reason why the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were busy making humans at night.

Li Yuanxing couldn't sleep, so he sat cross-legged at the table and practiced calligraphy. It seemed that he needed to build some chairs.

The next day, Yan returned to the building.

In the early morning, all the staff of Yanguilou put on new clothes, cleaned the street, and wiped the entire Yanguilou spotless.All the merchants had already gathered at Yanguilou in the morning, and each merchant put on the good clothes he had packed in his suitcase, trying to make a good impression on the new King of Qin.

People in Datang generally eat two meals a day. The first meal is around ten o'clock in modern times, and the second meal is at four o'clock in the afternoon.Many people went to bed after six o'clock, and the ministers would eat and drink a little when they got up in the early morning, otherwise they would not faint from hunger at court.Of course, wealthy families will also have supper at night.

But ordinary people eat two meals.

When Li Yuanxing was in Qinwangzhuang, he always ate according to his own schedule, three meals a day.

The chefs only had the habit of treating him as the king of Qin, so they didn't tell Li Yuanxing how ordinary people eat.

Li Yuanxing only thought that lunch was at around twelve o'clock, but who would have thought that Zheng He would come at about nine o'clock in the morning, saying that all the merchants had already arrived at Yangui Tower, and they would arrive in less than half an hour. The opening time.King Qin, you should be ready. This is a formal occasion, so naturally you have to wear a royal robe.

Trouble, this dress is very troublesome.

Li Yuanxing believes that it is impossible to put all these complicated clothes on his body by himself, and he can't figure out what buttons are what, let alone there are several layers inside and outside.

It took the two maids a quarter of an hour to help Li Yuanxing get dressed.

When it came to hair, Li Yuanxing really didn't want to do it anymore, so he just took a hair tie and tied it up.

Li Yuanxing had half-length hair in modern times, and he had never had a haircut for such a long time, but counting both sides, it has been more than a month, and now he can use a hair tie to tie his hair.

"Your Highness should wear a crown!" Zheng He advised.

As a prince, the necessary appearance is very important.Li Yuanxing's hair is too short. For modern men, it is considered medium-length hair.But in Tang Dynasty, it is too short, so short that if you need to wear a crown, you need to tie it on the top of your head with a silk thread. Li Yuanxing wore it once.

On the day Li Er ascended the throne.

There is only one feeling, pain, unbearable pain, not to mention that the thing is heavy, even pulling the hair hurts.

"No!" Li Yuanxing refused directly.

"Your Highness, the censors will definitely..." Zheng He was interrupted by Li Yuanxing before he finished speaking: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing that Li Yuanxing was a little unhappy, Zheng He didn't dare to say any more, and retreated with his head down.After Li Yuanxing looked at the crown that symbolized his status, he picked up the crown again and held it in his hand by the strap of the crown.

When he came to Yangui Tower, he happened to meet Gao Jian and Gao Shilian, who was stunned when he saw Li Yuanxing holding the crown in his hand.Li Yuanxing pointed to the top of his head. The half-length hair was draped over his head. It seemed that there was really no way to make a bun on the top of his head to wear a crown.

These are small details, so Gao Jian will not be troublesome, so he saluted Li Yuanxing according to the etiquette, and Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to help him: "Don't treat me as a prince, this elder is not used to saluting to juniors." After all, Li Yuanxing wrote He made the simplest hand-cup salute: "That's fine."

Gao Jian smiled, and also cupped his hands.

For Li Yuanxing, the star king from the sky, the courtiers around Li Er were all in awe.

Inside Yangui Building, several dignitaries were waiting at the door, and they were taken aback when they saw Li Yuanxing appear. Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "Don't stare at the top of this king's head, and don't talk about this king's hair. What. Today, the king wears a crown, don't let those censors have a chance to bother me."

A few very obvious jokes warned these businessmen not to chew their tongues, and relaxed the tension in everyone's hearts.

Li Yuanxing was welcomed to the second floor, and he naturally sat in the most honored position, while Gao Jian sat next to him.

Standing aside, Zheng He asked the merchants to salute the King of Qin according to the etiquette, and then said on behalf of Li Yuanxing: "His Royal Highness King Qin ordered that the food be served first and everyone drink together."

Eating is a trivial matter, and these merchants have eaten before coming.

Not to mention that they have something on their minds, they don't know what Li Yuanxing wants to do.Besides, eating in front of a high-ranking lord is also very depressing. The boss of Yan Guilou is really careful, and all the dishes are exquisite, but the portions are not much.

After Li Yuanxing tasted every dish, he thought that Datang's food is definitely green food, but the craftsmanship is a bit poor. Presumably, it should be due to the poor craftsmanship and spices.But these are trivial matters. When the people have money, there will naturally be countless people studying how to eat well, dress well, and play well.

I also drank a few cups of Datang's wine, which was light, but very fragrant and flavorful.
