Datang first village

Chapter 744 Datang Royal First Dishes [Part 1]

Cheng Motou and Lao Hei were still arguing, but the people around pretended not to notice. .

When entering the palace gate, Li Jing leaned over.First, after showing the etiquette of a junior to the cabinet master, he said to Li Yuanxing: "I have an urgent matter, and I want to hear your opinion, Wulang."

"Brother Yao, just say it!" Li Yuanxing said in his heart that there was no outsider in front of him, so there was no need to avoid anything.

Li Jing said: "To make a long story short, I took the Datian City you wanted, and I took the seaport. But these two places are too easy to take down, so I won't mention them. What I want to say is that there are two places over there. This problem will cause big trouble in the future!"

"What Senior Brother Yao said is that the Japanese are ambitious and do not obey the rules at all. In addition, it is impossible for them to cooperate with our Tang army. The last item is that when they do not abide by the military regulations and rob the spoils, they are like ..." Li Yuanxing was thinking about what words should be used to describe it.

Li Jing said, "Just like the Huns back then!"

Li Jing used words very cleverly, he didn't mention the Turks, only the Huns.

Then Li Jing said: "It seems that someone has already reported this matter to the Qin Palace. Wu Lang must have a way to deal with it!"

"No, I guessed. The method, let me think about it!" Li Yuanxing really needed to think about it.

But at this moment, the master of the cabinet turned his head suddenly: "That General Li!" The Zhonglang general who was called Heishui Mohe by the master of the cabinet was of course the fourth-rank general, and of course he was also a general.

Hearing the cabinet master's greeting, the general hurried over and gave a military salute of Tang Dynasty: "Please order from the virtuous emperor!"

"In your place, the method of boiling eagles and training wolf dogs, give Li..." The cabinet master didn't know what to call, Li Yuanxing said, "Tell Li Zhongshu about it."

Li Jing hurriedly said: "It's fine for the Emperor Xian to call someone a pharmacist!"

Li Jing, Li Yaoshi, the military gods of the Tang Dynasty.The cabinet master is full of respect in his heart.Immediately said: "The pharmacist, listen to the methods of boiling eagles and training wolf dogs, and the small problems of the Japanese people will no longer be a problem." After the cabinet master finished speaking, he signaled Li Yuanxing and himself to go first. He believed that Li Jing was definitely not soft-hearted. people.

To change to Li Yuanxing, there is absolutely no Huairou idea.

Boil the eagle!Some thoughts had already formed in Li Jing's mind.What is a wolfhound?That is to beat wolves into dogs, and keep the wild surname of wolves.After hearing this, Li Jing understood, and said involuntarily: "A certain whip is too soft."

"Li Zhongshu, to deal with vicious ones, there are knots on the whip, and steel spikes will be added to the whip!"

"Okay, good idea!" Li Jing nodded in satisfaction.

This General Li from Heishui Mohe said again: "If Li Zhongshu is an eagle, I will catch one for you next time when the army retires and returns home. But the eagle is a good eagle if it is boiled by itself, and the ones made by others are always so poor. Some."

"Okay, okay, thank you in advance, I will go to a certain mansion some other day, and you can take some books on water warfare and military tactics!"

"Thank you Li Zhongshu!"

On the other side, Li Yuanxing said to the cabinet master: "Is it too cruel? Let them study culture for no more than three years before they will be disciplined. What's more..." Li Yuanxing wanted to persuade him again, but the cabinet master whispered to Li Yuanxing : "Do you know how many people there are in Wajima?"

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "According to historical records, there should be more than 200 million people."

"Wrong, I have studied it in detail. During this period, Wajima has not yet started the war of unification. Yamato alone has a population of nearly 500 million, and Kumai and Hayato occupy the territory. There are at least a million people. The relationship between them The war is the key to the population reduction. This is not counting the Ainu people. The historical statistics are actually based on the statistics in 700 AD. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had a population of about 4000 million. 200 million."

Li Yuanxing gasped.

"Grandpa, he has half the population of Datang."

"Scary!" The cabinet master asked with a smile, Li Yuanxing nodded dumbly, Wa Island is only a little bigger, and they have a population of more than 600 million. There is no detailed statistics in the Tang Dynasty in the early years of Zhenguan, and there are about 300 people. Around [-] million.If calculated by half of the population, the Japanese are likely to be the enemy.

Li Er went into the palace to change his clothes first, now he will stand on the high platform and wait. Seeing Li Yuanxing talking with the cabinet master, he greeted him with a smile and asked, "What are Wulang and uncle talking about?"

Li Er is the emperor, and it is not appropriate to call another person the emperor.

It was appropriate for Li Yuan to call Master Gui the Emperor's Uncle, so Li Er called him Uncle Cheng by the way, which also meant closeness.

"Grandpa said that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not cooperate well in the Battle of Anshi, and their combat power was not fully displayed. So, I planned to train some soldiers myself. I said that my red blood is very strong, but grandpa said that I was challenging the red blood." Yes, if you have trained [-] ordinary soldiers, Chi Xue may not be your opponent!"

Li Er laughed, and helped the cabinet master to sit down.

"Uncle, you can transfer the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards, and you can choose the generals. Goro will never lose your seniority."

"Soldiers are expensive!" The cabinet master responded.

Elite soldiers are good, and Li Er also likes elite soldiers. Elite soldiers mean less logistics, less supplies, and easier command.

"However..." the cabinet master said again: "It's against peace to fight and kill people here. Yuan Xing only knows how to fight, attack cities and occupy land. Apart from these, only Xingnong and Pujiao are counted as After doing some things, in fact, the people of Tang Dynasty still have many things to do, self-cultivation and morality are better than playing mahjong!"

Li Yuanxing smiled dryly. In such a formal occasion, there are really not many people who dare to criticize themselves.

Li Er also smiled, the cabinet master's words made him feel very kind, and he was also thinking of Datang.

"How about this, Yuanxing will pay for it. Hold a big national tournament in Chang'an!"

"Great national player!" Li Er was a little puzzled, because the word national player would not appear until at least 30 years later.Li Yuanxing explained: "Go, chess. The best player will be awarded the title of national player."

Li Er suddenly realized: "Okay, this proposal is very good. According to ancient records, Go is derived from the way of playing games between two people after a battle, but it coincides with the theory of yin and yang in the way of heaven. Most of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty were proficient in Go. Chang'an Dabi, but It is also a very good thing. Wulang must not be stingy, and give more money."

"Let Mingyue do it, she can earn some money back."

Li Yuanxing replied with a half-smile.

Wu Zhao and Li Lanshan, who had just entered the palace and were about to take their seats, had been keeping an eye on this side. As soon as they heard Li Yuanxing mentioning her, they hurried over: "I'm involved in something again, is it that the villain Li Yuanxing is talking about me again?" bad words."

"Chang'an is going to host a national tournament!" Li Yuanxing explained.

"Okay, leave it to me. I will donate [-] guan to the Chang'an Medical Center!" Wu Zhao will definitely snatch it when he hears such a good thing.

Li Lanshan didn't know, but said: "There are records, Go originated from Rong Chenggong, at first there were only nine lines in vertical and horizontal lines, and it was only seventeen lines in Jin Dynasty. The most perfect result of Go should be nineteen lines."

Li Er was very surprised. He knew how to play Go. In the former Sui Dynasty, he already had nineteen lines of play, and at the same time, seventeen lines were still maintained.The origin of Go has always been said in the Warring States Period, and this origin is even earlier.

Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "Just talk too much, I'm afraid the historians of the Tang Dynasty will argue with you!"

"I'm not afraid of debate, but I don't have much evidence at hand."

"Lanyue can also go?" Li Er asked curiously.

Li Lanshan nodded: "Brother Huihuang, I dare not say that I am proficient. But I have some experience. I just suggest that if there is a national hand game, then set the rules first. Go first. Naturally, the first should let the latter count. It is a fair game. Otherwise, drawing a black piece is itself an advantage."

When Li Lanshan was speaking, Eunuch Gao had already stood aside and reported in between speeches: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the banquet can start at any time."

"Okay, Lanyue and Mingyue are in charge of the affairs of the big country. Wulang, let's start the banquet!" Li Er ordered immediately, and everyone hurried to sit down.

The square in front of the main hall was completely quiet when Li Yuanxing stood on the steps in front of the hall.

"When the banquet starts, the king and the emperor's brother have to serve a dish first. The emperor's brother has an order that the males of the Tang royal family, and the males of the noble families above the earl and above ten years old must eat this dish. Waste One grain will be severely punished!"

The drums sounded, solemn drums.

The little eunuchs ran quickly, each with a tray in their hands.

"In spring, when the fields are still full of greenery, there is no food in the house. In order to survive, the people will make all the edible things into food. But there are still people who starve to death. The emperor issued a tax reduction and exemption today. I just hope that next spring, no one will starve to death in Datang."

The contents of the tray have been placed on many people's tables.

Those who have this dish in front of them are all men from the royal family and nobles without exception.

It's so dark, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

"This is not the worst food, but for the nobles of Tang Dynasty, it can no longer be called food. It is steamed with wheat bran, wild vegetables, bean dregs, and aged broken rice. Among them, the rich can eat. Ordinary farmers can guarantee two yuan a day for their children, even if the family has surplus food."

Li Yuanxing spoke slowly.

"Come here!" Empress Changsun suddenly yelled, which can startle Li Yuanxing.

"Give me a copy, the Tang royal family, regardless of gender, has one copy if they are over six years old." Empress Changsun ordered, and then said: "As a royal family, I don't know the sufferings of the world, so what qualifications do I have to enjoy the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. "

Before the empress changsun finished speaking, Li Yuanxing gave the people below wild winks. The meaning was obvious. At this time, some flatterers had to stand up. There is Li Er's face, and Datang's state system.

With Li Yuanxing's acquiescence, a written tribute of about three hundred characters was read out by a booklet from the Palace of the Prince of Qin.

"The royal family cares about the people, so it should be a great charity." Wang Jishan, Minister of Rites, came out to lift a bridge, and Li Yuanxing was full of gratitude.In fact, Li Yuanxing didn't even dare to say that he could eat this thing.

There is no salt, it is very hard, and when I swallow it, I feel that my throat is about to die.

But Li Er and Li Yuanxing ate it without changing their expressions. The ones who really felt uncomfortable were the children of the royal family who enjoyed wealth and honor since childhood, as well as the children of noble families.The nobles who really experienced the wars in the early Tang Dynasty have suffered.
