Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 324 Returning to Xiaoqing Temple
"Crown Princess, it's just that the old minister still has some doubts. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

After a moment of silence, Wei Zheng spoke again.

Yang Xiaoran glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Wei Aiqing has always been outspoken, why is she being coy now? If you have any doubts, you can speak up."

"Thank you, princess!"

Wei Zheng made a salute, looked at the crown prince, and after a little thought, he said slowly: "I see that there are many villagers from outside in this small green village. Most of them come to work in the workshop. I will tell you the truth, Your Highness. The minister yesterday I asked here in the afternoon, and these people from other places don’t come here when the farming is off, even when it’s busy, and they don’t care about farming. In Tang Dynasty, both men and women have arable land, and even the farmers who belong to the nobles also have their own land. , if everyone goes out to work and the arable land is abandoned, our Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture, and if things go on like this, won’t it be detrimental to the country?”

Yang Xiaoran laughed and said: "Then Aiqing, may I ask, how many people are needed to cultivate one mu of land?"

"This……"

Wei Zheng blushed suddenly, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I didn't make a detailed investigation before I came to the conclusion that it's my minister Meng Lang."

Li Chengqian laughed and said: "Aiqing, I can only answer this matter for the Crown Princess."

Several courtiers immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Actually, Gu had this question a long time ago. If everyone works and the cultivated land is abandoned, if things go on like this and no one works in agriculture, wouldn't it be a detriment to the foundation of the country?"

Li Chengqian's clear and clear voice sounded slowly, "It's just that after many conversations with the Crown Princess, I understood a truth."

"What's the point?"

Several courtiers asked.

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and smiled, "Nothing! Productivity!"

"Productivity? What do you mean by that?"

"You all know the columbine cart and the rice transplanter. This is productivity..."

Li Chengqian said in a calm and unhurried manner: "With columbine carts, one person and one cart a day can reclaim an acre of land without animal power. If there is no columbine cart, the whole family will need to work together for several days. This saves time, and we can It is the improvement of productivity. In the past, hundreds of people were required to support hundreds of people in farming, but now one person can support dozens of people in farming. What do the extra people do? Wouldn’t it be troublesome if they are idle? , isn’t everyone happy?”

All the people present were well-educated. After Li Chengqian's explanation, after a little thought, he understood the key point.After realizing it, I suddenly remembered that the princess once said that her master said that Confucianism teaches people to be human, and science brings happiness to people.At this time, when I think about it again, there is a hint of understanding and recognition in my heart.

If it is not science, how can human beings be liberated?Everyone is stuck in the fields, even if God saves face, how much money can you collect every year if the weather is good?On the contrary, after the commercial law of the Tang Dynasty came out, merchants felt that they were protected, their enthusiasm for doing business was increased, and the tax revenue of the court was greatly increased. The theory of money begets money, such a virtuous circle, won't the national treasury be full in a few years?

It's just that when I think of the word "money and goods", I feel a little conflicted in my heart.

The business atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that in the Song Dynasty.Those in power in the Song Dynasty had such a mind, they also allowed the children of merchants to participate in the imperial examination, and even listed things like alcohol as state-owned.In short, the DGP of the Song Dynasty was so high, which was related to the thinking of those in power.

That is what makes money, what is state-run.In addition, people are encouraged to do business.In Bianliang, Tokyo, a modern person will be amazed if he walks around.

Because everyone will find that the business services there are not inferior to modern ones.

There are not only food delivery services, but also facial cleanser delivery services, and even pet grooming services, as well as door-to-door makeup and beauty services, which can be described as comprehensive and comprehensive.The prosperity of commercial development is such that modern people can't help but click their tongues when they see it.

But in the Tang Dynasty, although it was famous for its openness, it was not as good as the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of business.In the final analysis, those in power did not pay enough attention, so in the Tang Dynasty, the status of merchants has always been low, and they are despised by the whole people.

Although these scholar-bureaucrats feel good, it is reasonable to find it difficult to accept it for a while.

After all, the Three Views are like this, and it is not easy to reverse them all of a sudden.

Fortunately, there will always be a few alternatives.For example, Comrade Wei Renjing, who was born in hardship, doesn't think so.He felt that if following this line of thought, all the people in the world could live the same way as the householders in this small green village, wouldn't that be the Great Harmony in the mouth of the sage?
If Datong can be achieved, who cares what method he uses?
Wei Zheng went back with such thoughts.

But he went back, but Yang Xiaoran and Li Chengqian planned to leave two days later.They also planned to go to Xiaoqingshan.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiaoran woke up.

The three nurses were holding the child, and the two senior brothers led a group of guards to escort them up the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Xiaoqingshan was surrounded.

After all, the status is more valuable than before. This small green mountain has a princess, and it has become a holy place for people to pilgrimage.There are always people coming over on weekdays, and there are people taking care of Xiaoqing Guan.It was all arranged by Li Shimin, and this move has always made Yang Xiaoran feel deeply in his heart.

The changes in Xiaoqingshan are not too big, except that the view of the universe is a little more beautiful, other things are almost the same as before.Of course, if you ignore the rubbish left by those worshippers...

Fortunately, not everyone can enter the Taoist temple, and Yang Xiaoran didn't have the intention to let people come to burn incense, so the people who are here on weekdays are only responsible for cleaning the place, and then live in it by themselves, so as not to lose popularity. Not good.

The arrival of the prince and princess made the guards of Xiaoqing Temple a little surprised, but soon they happily welcomed them into the Taoist temple.

Revisiting the old place, Yang Xiaoran felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Xiaoqingguan is now much brighter. Although most of the buildings have been preserved, they have also been repaired.The Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty on the desk has also been whitewashed, making him look extraordinarily ethereal and dignified.

She had taken away Master's tablet a long time ago, and it has been enshrined in Cheng's family all these years.After he got married, his mother offered incense to him.But the master's grave is here.

After entering the Taoist temple and putting down his things, he took his husband, three children and senior brother to the master's grave.

The saplings I planted back then have grown very tall. I took a broom and the two senior brothers cleaned up the surrounding area, burned incense, kowtowed, and after offering tributes, let the three children also let the mother. He bowed with his arms in his arms, muttered a few words, and then left.

The eyes of the two senior brothers were red, obviously thinking of the old master.How could they be where they are today if they hadn't been taken in and nurtured by Master?

Yang Xiaoran turned her head away, such a scene is always sad, not to mention, in fact, she respects this old man very much in her heart.

Similarly, without the old man's ten years of nurturing and teaching, there would be no Cheng family girl today.

After returning to the Taoist temple, the emotions of the few people were not too high. Yang Xiaoran also took the child and Li Chengqian back to the house where he lived in those years.

Li Chengqian looked at this simple residence, and he couldn't imagine what it would look like before it was repaired.I dare not even think that my wife lived in such a place for ten years.

A trace of pity appeared in my heart, and I hugged my wife in my arms without saying a word.

At this moment, he just wanted to hug her well to express his inner pity.

After a while, Yang Xiaoran recovered from that emotion, looked at Li Chengqian's caring eyes, pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Thank you..."

Li Chengqian shook his head, and hugged her arms even harder, "Don't say thank you to me. There is no thank you or not between you and me, we are husband and wife, have you forgotten?"

Yang Xiaoran laughed, and lightly thumped his chest with his small hands, saying: "It's hard to come out, let's not talk about it. Let's go for a walk, remember that clear spring back then?"

After speaking, she lowered her voice, looked at the three little guys who were already asleep on the bed, and said in a low voice: "Call the mother-in-law in to watch the children, let's go to Qingquan to have a look."

Li Chengqian nodded, and soon, several nurses were called in.After giving some instructions, the husband and wife held hands and headed towards the back mountain.

When he walked to the edge of the clear spring, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing seeing that the small pond formed by the winding spring was still there, "Xiang'er, do you remember when you splashed water on me in this pond?"

Yang Xiaoran nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember."

After a pause, his face turned red and he said: "Brother Prince was still here to wipe my feet..."

As he spoke, he twisted the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what you think. The dignified prince actually wiped the feet of a stinky girl."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, and said: "Now you know how shy? My daughter dares to show her feet casually. It's because I met me, otherwise I met that mouth. The mouth is so big, I will tell you everywhere, I see you what to do."

Having said that, there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "That white and tender little foot, with ten toes all crystal clear, makes people feel itchy when they look at it, you girl, how do you feel like that?" I know how to seduce and seduce me since I was young..."

"Bullshit!"

Yang Xiaoran's face turned into a monkey's ass, and he thumped Li Chengqian and said, "Don't be silly, see if I don't tear your mouth?! I, I didn't think so much at that time, I still don't understand that! Humph, You, on the other hand, still remember it so clearly, it seems that you are in a bad mood."

Li Chengqian grabbed her hand with a smile, his Qingjun face was full of anger, and he said with a smirk: "I was young at the time, and I didn't understand. I just thought Xiang'er's feet were pretty..."

After a pause, he said again: "Furthermore, am I afraid that you will catch cold? Didn't Xiang'er wipe it for me too?"

After finishing speaking, he added his lips again, like aftertaste, "That little hand is cool, it feels so comfortable to hold Gu..."

Why don't you go to heaven? !
A certain girl is speechless!

When there is no one around, why do you think this guy looks like Brother Pig and deserves to be beaten every time he says a word?
Looking at the teasing and teasing in his eyes, Yang Xiaoran suddenly had the urge to slap him to death.

He murmured, dissatisfied, and said, "You are such a good person, you ruined the good atmosphere! Thinking about those things all day long, hmph, let's go, don't read, ignore you!"
