Ji Tang

Chapter 1249 The scene of prosperity!

In Bagua City, when Ji Song saw Li Chunfeng again, this guy was actually preaching.

I saw him sitting high on the Taoist platform, talking to many believers below.Anyway, Ji Song didn't understand it. The clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist, but the believers below listened with gusto!

Probably seeing Ji Song coming, Li Chunfeng calmly ended today's sermon and followed Ji Song to the back hall.

"I have seen the General!"

Ji Song ignored him, and the guy didn't care either, and immediately introduced him to the layout of the place!

"In order to facilitate preaching, the layout here is somewhat different from that in the Central Plains. Except for the founders of the Three Qing Dynasties, many of the sculptures of gods are made from local materials. Isn't it very down-to-earth?"

Ji Song rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If your master knew about this, would he be angry to death? Why don't you use local materials? Why don't you make a sculpture of you? Maybe the believers will worship you. It’s the Prime Minister!”

Li Chunfeng chuckled: "Isn't this just for the convenience of preaching? Xiaodao thought Master would understand."

He ignored this guy and came to the backyard.

The view here is wide, and at a glance, you can see the snow-capped mountains, which shine even more brightly under the setting sun, like a miracle.This little magician still has some abilities, but his ability in construction and site selection is beyond what ordinary people can match.

"When I came in from Bagua City, I found that it was almost completed. How long will it take for it to be completed?"

Previously, Bagua City was built as a military fortress, thinking that even if the army was defeated, it could rely on this city to hold on.But no one expected that things would develop beyond everyone's expectations. Even Ji Song sometimes took it one step at a time.

Fortunately, the crisis has been resolved. At least for decades, there will not be much turmoil, and the city does not need to be so anxious.

"The general layout has been completed, and most of the internal residential areas have been built. However, some aftermath matters will still take some time."

Speaking of this, he proudly said: "It's not that Xiaodao is boasting, this Bagua City has exhausted Xiaodao's efforts. People who don't understand the transformation of Yin and Yang Bagua can be confused by it. Once combined with the eight formation diagrams you gave , this is a great fortress, don’t even think about taking this city without paying ten times the price!”

Ji Song did not comment when he heard this, but looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"Although there is plenty of rain here, other places are deserts. I am not just asking you to build a city and see Taoist temples to preach. I still know the skills of Taoism. It has been passed down from the pre-Qin Laozi and the Yin and Yang family, and the regional feng shui The way is your strength."

"Don't be like your master and talk about immortality all day long. Do more practical things to be worthy of your Taoist name. Regardless of the popularity of Buddhists, they can at least give some psychological comfort to believers. Although many times there are He is a black sheep, but his faults do not hide his faults!”

"How about you? Are you all thinking about becoming an immortal? Just like you said, connect with the earth and do more things for the people!"

He pointed at the snow-capped mountains and said: "Actually, the Western Region is not short of water, but there is no water at all. The water existing on the vast snow-covered plateau can be turned into a vast ocean. If you can use it to benefit the Western Region, your Taoist merits will be immeasurable! "

"I heard before that someone invented a karez here. I don't know what the principle is. You can ask someone to find out. In addition, afforestation is the most beneficial way to prevent desertification and fundamentally solve the problem. Think about it. How can we get the people to plant more trees and cut down less trees? In this way, within a hundred years, the Western Region will be very different!"

Li Chunfeng listened thoughtfully to Ji Song's words. He knew Ji Song, and whenever he spoke in such a tone, he always had good words.After thinking carefully, he said seriously: "I will pay attention to this matter. Planting trees is simple. You may not know that the people here love green things to the extreme. It couldn't be easier for them to plant trees."

"Not only planting trees, but also planting grass. This can not only effectively prevent the expansion of the desert, but also develop livestock and improve the local people's livelihood while changing the environment. This is the greatest merit."

"Our ancestors overcame all obstacles to build the mountains and rivers of China. We have never believed in gods. What we believe in is always our hands. We have the most hard-working people and the most creative ingenuity, but most people are short-sighted. , they need someone to guide them."

"And that's why you exist!"

Li Chunfeng looked at Ji Song in shock. He had always thought that Ji Song just had intelligence and an exquisite heart.But what he said just now made him realize how broad-minded and far-sighted the man in front of him, who everyone had high hopes for, was!
-
Chang'an, Chang'an is brightly lit this night, with crowds of people, young ladies and ladies dressed up for a long time interspersed among them, talented people gathered together, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries brought their families to watch the Lantern Festival in Chang'an!
The Spring Festival has just passed, and the Lantern Festival has arrived in a blink of an eye.

Today's Chang'an is a Chang'an for talented people and beauties, and it is also a Chang'an where the royal family and the people enjoy together. The curfew is postponed, all industries are prosperous, King Wu can't help it, and all the people are happy together!
In Ji Mansion, You Ning had already taken the prepared people into the carriage and was preparing to rush to Zhuque Gate to attend today's grand ceremony.Long before the imperial court was suspended during the Spring Festival, the palace issued an imperial edict ordering all officials of third rank and above to bring their wives to attend today's banquet.

As the official wife of Duke Tan, You Ning is certainly qualified to attend. She has been preparing for this day for a long time.The old lady has been taken into the palace by her eldest grandson. As the county monarch, her status is the same as that of a real marquis.

In addition, You Ning also told Mao Mao to dress up well tonight. As for what he meant, everyone knew it well.The kitten, which had been more resistant in the past, somehow did not refuse this time. When everyone was getting ready to set off, they all looked surprised when they saw the kitten in the costume.

She has a light yellow skirt and long black hair that looks like a waterfall, fixed with simple hairpins and hairpins.The exquisite face and the cold expression are like a fairy descending to the earth. The sight is unforgettable!

"Kitty cat, you are so beautiful tonight. When those young talents see you later, will your eyes pop out?"

Li Yu was immediately envious and jealous when she saw the kitten's outfit. Although he was confident and good-looking, he still pales in comparison to today's kitten.

"Stop teasing me, you are very nice too. How do you look at your husband?"

After speaking, pointing at Ji Run who kept looking this way, Li Yu suddenly laughed, with a proud look on his face and a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

As the saying goes, women should look good to please themselves. Who doesn’t want her husband to know how good she is?

At this time, You Ning came over and took the hands of his eldest daughter-in-law and daughter. The more he looked at them, the more satisfied he became!
"Look, who's family is as lucky as mine? Not only is the daughter-in-law beautiful, but the daughter is also of heavenly beauty. Who wouldn't be envious of her?"

"Mother~"

Mao Mao and Li Yu suddenly said shyly. Looking at that, You Ning himself was a little shaken!

"Okay, it's time for us to set off!"

After saying that, he pulled the two girls into the carriage. For You Ning, although Li Yu was a princess, she had grown up in the Ji family since she was a child. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was her own daughter.

After getting on the carriage, You Ning smiled and said to Li Yu: "Wait a minute, help your sister-in-law find out more about the young talents. I heard that many families have brought their legitimate sons and daughters tonight. If there are any suitable ones, Just tell your mother!"

Li Yu pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at the puzzled kitten, and said, "Don't worry, mother, leave this matter to me and keep it for a satisfactory son-in-law of your choosing!"

"Hey, you want a beating, right?" You Ning saw that this girl dared to tease him, and he immediately raised his hands to hit her.Li Yu was so frightened that she hid behind Mao Mao and fanned the flames: "Look, Mao Mao, he asked me to find a son-in-law for him and he beat me at the same time. You have to help me. I'm doing this all for you!" "

Mao Mao left the demonic Li Yu aside and pushed him to his mother's side. He said angrily: "Mom, if you want to beat me, hurry up. If you can't, I will do it. If you see him like that, you'll be angry. Hmph!"

The three of them were talking and laughing on the carriage, but not far from their team, a young man stared intently at the passing carriage. When he heard the familiar voice inside, he felt his heart tightening for some reason.
At this time, in the palace, the eldest grandson was getting dressed. Although today was not a big court meeting, it was of great importance, and she did not have much choice.

"I think this one looks good. The lavender color looks noble and stable at the same time. It's perfect for you."

Seeing her eldest grandson put on a long lavender dress with multiple layers of milky white clothes underneath, Mother Ji suddenly showed an astonished look!There are always some people in this world who, as they age, not only do not lose the slightest charm, but also add a lot of color.

In her opinion, her eldest grandson is like this. She is a grandmother, but she looks like she is only in her thirties or forties. No one can tell her true age.

Upon hearing this, the eldest grandson looked around in the full-length mirror, showed a satisfied look, and said to the maid beside him: "Okay, that's it!"

"promise!"

But when I saw the looming crow's feet under the makeup, I sighed!
"Why do you need to feel sorry for yourself, Your Majesty? Your Majesty has great respect for you, and you have such an outstanding heir to the empire as the Crown Prince. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Mother Ji sighed: "Do you think this is true?"

Changsun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed!

"Yeah, what else are you dissatisfied with? But don't tell me, the snow lotus pills made by your family are really good. Not only do you feel more energetic after taking them, but your body also feels much better. But it's just too little. !”

Of course, the eldest grandson was talking about the Snow Lotus Pills made from the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus. Without respecting the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, it is rare to find it. It is a blessing to encounter one. How can you take it every day?

Most of the time, I only take one pill a month. At other times, I use snow lotus pills made from hundreds of years of snow lotus.But if word spread like this, the ladies of Chang'an would probably be shocked!

It was not easy for them to get a snow lotus pill that was hundreds of years old. Don't even think about the one that was thousands of years old. Except for a few pills that appeared at the beginning, they never came out at all after that.

"Hey, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. I heard from my family that Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng were gifted two thousand-year-old snow lotus by Songtsan Gampo when they were on an envoy to Tibet. In order to prevent the loss of medicinal properties, they froze from the sea. It will be transported and preserved with ice cubes made of saltpeter every day. If nothing else goes wrong, it should be here soon."

“We’ll be able to make another batch by then!”

The eldest grandson's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said: "This time you have to be kept by me, and you must not dare to make any noise, otherwise even your majesty and I will not be able to keep you!"

Now who doesn’t know that the Snow Lotus Pills made from the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus have obvious effects on delaying aging and beautifying the skin?If those ladies knew about it, they might unite and go to the palace to seek medicine.Will she give it to her then?They are all wives with a mandate. If they continue to blow the pillow wind, even she and the emperor can't force it, and they may have to part with some to appease people's hearts.

Mother Ji was amused by her eldest grandson's words, and she promised again and again: "The navy officers know a little bit about this matter. When it is returned, I will order someone to take it back to Chang'an quietly without making any noise!"

After speaking, he looked at the eldest grandson and said with a smile: "My dear, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

The eldest grandson raised his neck like a proud phoenix, nodded and said: "Well, not bad!"

"Hahahaha!"

This look even made him laugh, and the laughter spread through the hall, causing many people outside the hall to wonder, what happy thing happened to the queen?

The two of them stayed in the main hall for some more time, and then, with the crowd urging them, they prepared to rush to the Suzaku Gate. Just now, the emperor had sent word that it was almost time.
-
"My emperor is forever!"

At the tall Suzaku Gate, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson were welcoming worshipers from hundreds of officials and people!
"All the nobles, please rise!"

Then he looked at the many people below and said: "Get up, everyone. King Wu can't help it tonight, and I will rejoice with you!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"."

At this time, a Yuefu official came forward and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree!"

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has destroyed the Turks in the north, conquered Goguryeo in the east, marched south to Nanyang, and marched into Congling in the west. Wherever the army passed by, all nations surrendered. It has been ten years since high-yielding grain varieties were discovered thousands of miles east of the country. The Tang Dynasty was prosperous and the people were safe, with grain and grass in the warehouses and grains. All the officials in the court worked hard and slept well at night, and all the people enjoyed peace."

"In the early days of the First Dynasty, Duke Tan conquered Dashi and pacified the Western Regions. At this time, there were no worries in the Tang Dynasty and the treasury was abundant. It was truly a prosperous age!"

"Tonight is the Lantern Festival, King Jin cannot help it, and all the people are happy together. For three days, the city gates will not be closed, and the evening drums will not sound. I hope all the people are safe and peaceful, and all industries are prosperous. I will rejoice with you!"

"Kin this!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"."

The huge cheers were shocking, and many foreign envoys were invited tonight.When they felt the overwhelming public support, they were on pins and needles. They seemed to see that under the leadership of the Khan, the Tang Dynasty was like a huge carriage, galloping forward, and the road ahead was all smooth.
One historian burst into tears and couldn't help himself.At this time, the Tang Dynasty was supported by all the people, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, the people were prosperous, and they had no worries about food and clothing. The army was strong at home and abroad, and all the nations were convinced. Is this scene ever recorded in the history books?
