Datang first village

The people did not die, and no one was missing.

This is a natural disaster, who believes that no one will die in a natural disaster, and who believes that everyone will be safe and sound in a natural disaster?

It seems that this is the beginning of the improvement of the social status of Datang soldiers.

Three consecutive days of sunny days have caused the water level of the Yellow River to drop a lot. The whole line of the Henan Road has been checked for embankments. You must know that the Yellow River flood in history hurts the most. , changed to the mouth of the sea, the Yellow River is the mother river, but it is the most terrible river in history.

Li Yuanxing had already lived in Luoyang City, so he lived in the Luoyang Mansion.

"The order will be passed on, so those who come to see the king will be postponed for ten days, unless there is a particularly urgent matter. Right now, the king only cares about three things in Luoyang!" Li Yuanxing said, rushing to the staff from Chang'an The young man began to record Li Yuanxing's orders below.

This time more than 40 people came to the Staff Council of Prince Qin's Mansion, including the two princes.

Li Ke also brought Li Yin's letter with him. The little guy obviously regretted the postponement of his scooter competition, but he didn't complain. He only said that he hoped that after Uncle Wu Huang returned to Chang'an, a few emperor brothers could help him with it.

Li Yuanxing glanced at the young people, and tapped lightly on the table: "River affairs, agricultural affairs, and business affairs. You choose these three things!"

pick!Naturally, there is a faction headed by the two princes, a faction headed by emerging nobles, such as Chang Sun Chong and others, and the last faction is the faction headed by Cui Yiye and Cui Yujie, two children of the Cui family, of which Cui Yiye retreated behind the scenes, because He is already a functionary official of Qin Wangfu.

The three factions were divided into three circles to discuss.

Cui Yiye said at this time: "Your Highness, there are a few more minor matters, which seem to be classified as government affairs and miscellaneous affairs."

"tell me the story?"

"The official examination, the re-examination of Luoyang officials, although it is a matter of the official department, but the Qin Palace has to ask about it now. I don't know how His Highness will assign this matter!" Cui Yiye asked respectfully.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "At this time, the principle of the Qin Palace is not to ask questions. Let Cui Changshi be in charge of coordinating with the officials."

"Yes!" Cui Yiye saluted, and then said: "Your Highness, there is another good thing. After I came to Luoyang, I met Wu Bin, and he told my ministers that in the past three days, there have been 760 matchmakers. Passed the barracks. It seems that the families of many people in Luoyang want to marry their daughters to the guards of the Qin Palace, as well as Lei Qi, and the sergeants of the Twelve Guards!"

Li Yuanxing froze for a moment, as if he didn't react.

Cui Yiye was also a little surprised when he saw Li Yuanxing's reaction: "Your Highness, you seem surprised?"

"A good man does not serve as a soldier, and a good woman does not marry a soldier! I don't know if you have heard this saying." Li Yuanxing asked.

Cui Yiye nodded: "Although the sayings vary from place to place, the meaning is the same."

"What do you think?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I think that when the government was chaotic, corrupt officials were everywhere at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then in the years of war. Soldiers are also bandits, and bandits are also soldiers. And since ancient times, the source of soldiers is mostly forced conscription. Volunteering as a soldier, I am the leader of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In one dynasty, as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were also times when soldiers were forced to conscript and die. In the Warring States Period, all the people in the Qin Dynasty were soldiers. Therefore, soldiers are of low status.”

Cui Yiye's knowledge is good, and his answers are simple and easy to understand.

"Soldiers, raw, not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear. During the war, people who don't know when they will die, and who will lose their lives at any time, how many people still keep their simplicity, in order to survive, or hold them for a day. In a day's life, it is not difficult to understand that soldiers are also bandits, and bandits are also soldiers, and this is why soldiers are cheap!"

What Cui Yiye said made Li Yuanxing very satisfied.

"Yiye, you can deal with this matter. Within a month, you will come up with a statement. The king wants to hear your opinion. If you change all this, two sentences. One, let the sergeant live like a person ; Second, give more consideration to the military family, to support them in life and to depend on them in death!"

"Yes!" Cui Yiye stood aside after bowing and saluting.

Now, it's the turn of the little ones.

"His Royal Highness, we choose River Affairs!" Li Chengqian was the first to make a choice.He used a very formal address.

Li Yuanxing nodded.

The eldest Sun Chong chose farming, and the children of the family chose business.

"Go ahead, come up with a statement tomorrow, and you can execute it after the king approves it!"

"Yes!" All the young staff officers stood up, saluted and retreated.

When there was no one else in the living room, Li Yuanxing waved to Lu Maofeng: "Lu Maofeng, do you know about the matchmaker?" Lu Maofeng walked over with a smirk on his face: "Your Highness, of course I know. It's just a trivial matter. Those boys were overjoyed, and nearly a thousand people were beaten."

"Playing the board?" Li Yuanxing laughed, feeling very surprised, not knowing why.

"Someone is willing to marry, and she is the daughter of a good family. Naturally, she can't sleep well. In the military camp, if she makes noise at night, she will be punished. If she doesn't sleep well, she will also be punished if she goes out late. In short , Dozens of boards have been broken, so these guys are more secure!"

Lu Maofeng suddenly put away his smile: "Your Highness, there is a rich family in Luoyang who wants to promise his daughter to Wu Bin. But Wu Bin refused, saying that he already has a wife!"

"Well, let him do it!" Li Yuanxing has the thinking of future generations and can understand Wu Bin.

Lu Maofeng said: "Your Highness, Wu Bin is not wrong to be affectionate and righteous, but when he was promoted to a general a few years later, he still took a Goguryeo slave as his wife. I'm afraid he would be laughed at!"

Li Yuanxing is also very serious: "Wu Bin is not a child, he knows what he is doing? It is not wrong to be affectionate and righteous. If someone dares to laugh at him in the future, I will stand up for him!" Seeing that Li Yuanxing was unhappy, Lu Maofeng did not dare to say anything more. talk.Li Yuanxing's tone slowed down a bit: "Actually, you don't know that the Cui family is also arranging to choose a real wife for Yiye!"

"Then..." As soon as Lu Maofeng opened his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth.

He can say anything about Wu Bin, but Cui Yiye is different.

Cui Yiye is the grandson of the Cui family. He is a nobleman and has an official position.It's not something he can talk about at will.

"Cui Yiye refused. He is also a kind and righteous person. But this king has no choice but to persuade him to consider marrying a real wife, otherwise this king will not be able to explain it to Cui Shangshu of the household department. This king has already arranged Concubine Ying went to deal with it according to her discretion, you have considered Wu Bin's matter correctly."

"Your Highness, you are talking too much!"

"Well, go and talk to the family who is willing to marry their daughter to Wu Bin. If it is feasible, the king will ask Princess Yan to meet that woman in person, just hoping that she will no longer have slaves in her eyes. That woman in Goguryeo When Wu Bin went to war, he really took care of Wu Bin's old lady!"

Lu Maofeng gave a salute: "Then go now!"

Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "Go, just be careful!"

After Lu Maofeng went out, Li Yuanxing walked into the courtyard, and the four guards outside the door immediately approached, thinking that Li Yuanxing had something to order.Li Yuanxing asked casually, "Is there a matchmaker coming to see you?"

"Yes!" The guard replied.

"What do you think, tell me." Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

The young one blushed, and finally the older one replied: "His Royal Highness, there are a few who couldn't marry a woman before and bought slaves, but want to marry a house seriously, especially those who haven't given birth yet. Doll's."

Li Yuanxing nodded, but he could understand.

It is difficult to say what kind of slaves a particularly lowly sergeant can buy if he buys slaves.

"Your Highness, there are a few ambitious people who insist on making military achievements and begging for a wife in Chang'an in the future!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanxing smiled.I didn't expect that there was already the concept of household registration in Datang. Chang'an is the capital, but it is also an ambitious idea.

"It will get better and better in the future, and you should learn more and improve."

"Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness!" All the guards saluted.

Li Yuanxing was about to go back to his room, but he saw Lu Maofeng running back again. Li Yuanxing just stood there without moving, and Lu Maofeng ran closer: "His Royal Highness, great news. Old General Qu woke up. Immortal Sun sent someone to invite His Highness to come over!" "

"Let's go!" Li Yuanxing walked out with big strides.

Qu Tutong woke up, this is indeed a great good thing, Li Yuanxing doesn't know how long Qu Tutong can earn, and how many unfulfilled wishes, he must go to see him in person.

Qu Tutong was awake, but his body was extremely weak.

Seeing Li Yuanxing enter the room, Qu Tutong was about to sit up with strength: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" Li Yuanxing quickly walked a few steps to support him: "The veteran must not get up, rest at ease, take care of your body first!"

"Your Highness, this old life of a certain person has already lived to the end. If he can open his eyes and see His Highness coming down to Luoyang, he will die in peace. King Qin's supernatural power can subdue even natural disasters. With the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, so-and-so can close his eyes in peace. Two Incompetent sons, Your Highness, don’t pamper them, those who are strong in military skills will be high-ranked, and those who are weak in military skills will let them grow old!”

Qu Tutong is explaining the funeral.

Li Yuanxing turned his head and glanced at Sun Laodao. Sun Laodao shook his head lightly, and secretly gestured with his fingers.That means that even if it is strong, it will be a month at most.

Li Yuanxing smiled, and helped Qu Tutong sit by the bed: "It's too early for the old general to talk about death and life. The king's fairy grain has not yet been harvested. Moreover, the king still has ten thousand catties of grain per mu. If old general Qu It’s not a pity if you don’t take a look. Listen to this king and take care of your body with peace of mind. Old General Qu, you must take good care of your body!”

"Your Highness, the yield per mu is ten thousand catties?"

"Has this king ever told a lie?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

Qu Tutong's eyes became brighter: "Bring the medicine, I'm going to live to see the immortal food produced by mu."

After taking the medicine, Qu Tutong fell into a coma.

Only then did Li Yuanxing, Sun Laodao, and Qu Tutong's two sons come outside the house: "Old Sun, please hold on. At least let the old general see the good harvest!" (To be continued.)
