Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 141: Straight to the Heart
With Li Shimin's promise, the policy of tax reduction and exemption was realized.This year was the happiest moment for the common people since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. They saw hope from Li Shimin, and saw the emperor's courage from every decree. At the same time, they were full of awe of that mysterious young man.

Because of his foresight, Long Feiyu can think ahead of others in everything, so he has a special nickname among the people.People like to call him "Sir".

Relying on his memories of being in the countryside when he was a child, Long Feiyu made a windmill out of wood to remove the husks from threshing wheat, an oil press made out of big trees, and quilts made out of cotton.

Because Long Feiyu was in the Ministry of Household Affairs, many policies that benefited the people were forcibly promoted by him.Due to the limitations of this era, there is no fertilizer and other chemical fertilizers to promote the growth of seedlings. Long Feiyu specially prevents people from going to the countryside to spread the benefits of raising pigs to the common people.

And this has also become a decree and has been issued.After testing, the benefits of Long Feiyu's plan are unquestionable, and the people regard what he said as good advice.

Spring is coming and autumn is coming, and in a blink of an eye it is another court meeting. Looking at the courtiers standing above the main hall, Li Shimin's sharp eyes swept over the crowd, stopped on Long Feiyu, and said loudly: "The three-year period Now that you've arrived, Long Feiyu doesn't know what kind of changes you've brought to the household department?"

Long Feiyu got up, stood in the middle, cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, in the past three years, our household department has been working hard for the stability and prosperity of our Tang Dynasty. After three years of changes, although the common people are not well-fed now, But at least they lived in peace and tranquility. All the grain lent out the year before last was confiscated, and because there had been no major wars in the past three years, the warehouses in various places were still full. The national stockpiles of silver surged to 500 million taels."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, you did a great job this time, but when do you plan to allocate funds for the construction of Chengtian Palace? This matter has been delayed for three years, you will not delay it any longer?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question about Chengtian Palace, Long Feiyu hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty's construction of the palace is really unnecessary. The palace built in the Sui Dynasty is still in good condition, and Your Majesty has always been sympathetic to the power of the people. Building a palace is a waste of money and people. The gain outweighs the loss, and the minister has something to ask His Majesty to agree to."

Li Shimin glanced at Long Feiyu, and said a little nervously: "You can tell me what you want." At this moment, Li Shimin still remembered that Long Feiyu exempted himself from taxes for the people of the world three years ago.

Seeing that Li Shimin was so nervous, Long Feiyu cupped his hands and said: "It's not a big deal. The population is the key to wanting a prosperous dynasty. When I counted the population, I accidentally found that there are as many as 2 palace ladies in the harem. Although some people have been dismissed, there are still more than [-]. These people all entered the palace in their prime, and they are still of childbearing age. I would like to ask His Majesty to send back the women who have not been favored by His Majesty after thirty. In my hometown, the household department will bear all the severance expenses. These women have been familiar with poetry and books for many years in the palace. If they are allowed to leave the palace for a few years, there will be tens of thousands of well-educated people in the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as Long Feiyu said this, someone immediately objected: "Long Feiyu, you are bold, those are His Majesty's women, how dare you pay attention to His Majesty, do you want to rebel?"

Hearing Long Feiyu's proposal, Li Shimin was also a little displeased. It would be a pity for those women to slip away like this before they had time to favor them.But the number of people is too large, and it will definitely not work if it is not cut down. After thinking about it, Long Feiyu must not be the one who gets cut down.Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand to stop the official who was about to speak, and said: "I have agreed to this matter. This harem is the territory controlled by the empress. It is inconvenient for men to come and go. The empress will decide on the reduction."

Hearing Li Shimin let go, Long Feiyu didn't bother anymore, and when he said yes, he came again: "I have one more request."

"Say it"

"Your Majesty, since Emperor Yan invented farming culture, our ancestors have relied on the sky for food. If there is a good year, they will have enough food and clothing. If there is a disaster, they will flee from famine. Now my Tang Dynasty is full of vitality. This agriculture must not be abolished. Therefore, I have discussed with ministers and businessmen from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I want to establish an agricultural college for those scholars who have research on planting to study some new varieties, such as drought-resistant wheat and rice with increased yield."

Before Long Feiyu finished speaking, someone interjected: "Isn't this nonsense? How can the production of wheat and rice be increased like that?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said, "Li Shilang, can you tell everyone how to increase the yield of crops?"

"Yes"

Li Shilang stood up and said: "At the suggestion of Lord Shangshu, we specially reclaimed a few acres of land in the Ministry of Households for farming and tried some good methods. Lord Shangshu advocated that the common people should irrigate more and raise pigs for food. To fertilize the land, we have to use three pieces of the same land, one is fertilized and watered, one is watered and not fertilized, and one is not watered and not fertilized. After the grain is threshed, the yield per mu without watering 250 catties of water, and 350 catties per mu of watering and fertilizing. This one mu of land is 150 catties more. I don’t know how you feel? We can grow the yield of two mu of land with one mu of land. Then this undoubtedly saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and pork is a meat food, and people eating more will increase their health."

"After talking so much, you didn't talk about the Jiannong College?"

Hearing the minister's rebuttal, Li Shimin ignored it, looked directly at Long Feiyu and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty intends to establish an agricultural college, so that students who love agronomy from all over the world can gather together to study the growth and excellent varieties of crops, so as to obtain better and better varieties, so that the material changes of crops will lead to quantitative changes, and as much as possible. Increase the amount of food produced per acre of land."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I won't discuss this matter. If you think it is feasible, arrange someone to handle it. What I want to ask now is, since no one is spending the money from the national treasury, can I ask the Ministry of Industry to build a Chengtian Palace?" , to receive the envoys from various parties?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Manchu civil and military saw a weird side.The always majestic emperor wanted to get money from Long Feiyu in a negotiating tone.Li Shimin was also helpless at this time. If he had known earlier, he would not have given the household department to Long Feiyu. In the past three years, he had not received a tael of silver from the household department. Instead, he had subsidized a lot from the inner government to the household department.Those money went into Long Feiyu's pocket, but it was more difficult than going to heaven to get it out.

Just when Long Feiyu was about to speak, an eunuch walked in quickly, bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, someone from Longfu said that Long Shangshu's two wives are going to give birth soon, so ask Long Shangshu to return quickly. "

Hearing this sentence, Li Shimin glared at the eunuch, and asked in doubt: "Didn't your two wives, Long Feiyu, give birth just now? Why did you give birth again?"

Long Feiyu clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the last time they gave birth was three years ago, and it has been three years. It would be really strange if they haven't conceived yet."

Li Shimin waved his hands impatiently when he heard this sentence: "Go, go."

Seeing Li Shimin waving his hand, Long Feiyu said hurriedly, and then left.Seeing him leave, Long Liang felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and kept looking outside the hall. Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Long Aiqing, I don't think your heart is like this any more. , go back quickly, this is a major event in life, and there is no delay."

Long Liang thanked him, and hurriedly chased Long Feiyu out of the hall.Watching the father and son leave, Li Shimin said with a smile: "All ministers and workers who have no heirs will be arrested. Look at Long Feiyu who has held four in three years. Your ability to govern is not as strong as him. This child is not as good as him. How could you lose to him?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Manchu Wenwu suddenly burst out laughing.Naturally, some of them scoffed, Li Shimin's words were actually setting up some potential enemies for Long Feiyu invisibly, although he had absolute trust in Long Feiyu, but the way of controlling him must not be relaxed just because of trust.

Long Feiyu just rushed back to Longfu, looking at the group of people gathered at the door of the delivery room, he asked anxiously: "Who gave birth?"

Over there, Ah Fu hurriedly said, "The first lady and the second lady gave birth together."

Hearing this sentence, Long Feiyu let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly said: "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Hearing Long Feiyu's exclamation, the group of people rolled their eyes helplessly.They directly chose to ignore Long Feiyu. Long Feiyu never cared about the big and small things in the Dragon Mansion. The only thing he remembered was that there were two wives who could have children in the mansion, and a courtyard full of fruit trees.

In the past three years, everyone in the yard knew his character and temper clearly, and sometimes he would not care about some irrelevant jokes.

Seeing that Long Feiyu gave birth to a child, the three Shishi and Shishi who had never given up and refused to marry for three years, still ran towards Longfu as always. Will give up the drive to pursue happiness.After all, there are not many such outstanding men in Tang Dynasty. If you don't seize the opportunity, there will be nothing suitable for you.

Of course, after such a long time of contact, people have also changed. The three of them ran here just to find a good home. When it comes to falling in love with Long Feiyu, they may not be in love. They just want to change themselves. And the fate of the pro.Even being a concubine to Long Feiyu is better than marrying someone who doesn't have the slightest affection.

It's a pity that Luo Hua intends to be ruthless, and Long Feiyu has never had any extra thoughts about the three of them.This made the three of them feel indignant and at the same time think that maybe Long Feiyu likes to be passive, after all, there is a precedent for Liang Yueer climbing into his bed.

There was such a big happy event in the Dragon Mansion, so people naturally came to congratulate him. Like the previous two times, Long Feiyu was still so nervous. Giving birth in this era is tantamount to passing the gate of hell. How many women can't pass this time? closed and died.

From afar, I saw Long Feiyu strolling, and Cheng Zhijie and Le Jia walked in together.Seeing Cheng Zhijie and his group quickly salute, Linger suddenly jumped out not far away and looked at Le Jia who was beside him, saying, "General Le, you have been visiting our house more and more recently."

Le Jia smiled awkwardly, and said: "I heard that the two ladies are going to give birth, so Cheng Guogong and I have a look."

Ling'er smiled brightly and said, "Why do I feel that you didn't come to see my two sister-in-laws, do you have other plans?"

Hearing this sentence, Le Jia quickly shook his head and said, "How could that be? I just came to see, how could there be other plans."

Hearing Ling'er's words, Long Feiyu turned his head to look at Le Jia, Le Jia was embarrassed and looked at Yuzhi and the three not far away from time to time.

Long Feiyu chuckled, patted Le Jia on the shoulder and said, "My fair lady is so good, you don't have to be so restrained. Zhang Yuan is also our brother, if you are not afraid of him beating you, go."

Le Jia shook his head and said, "Marshal misunderstood, she likes you, Marshal."

Long Feiyu shook his head, and waved to the three people not far away, who looked at each other and walked over.Seeing the three of them, Long Feiyu smiled, looked at Yuzhi and said, "Yuzhi, you are not young anymore, should you find someone to take care of you?"

Hearing Long Feiyu's words, Yuzhi looked at Le Jia beside Long Feiyu, and immediately understood what Long Feiyu meant.Shaking his head, he said, "I can take care of myself."

Seeing what Yuzhi said, Le Jia hurriedly stopped Long Feiyu and said, "Marshal, I just came to see it, there is really no other meaning."

Long Feiyu smiled and said, "Well, Yuzhi, Zhang Yuan is my brother, and you are naturally my sister. At first I thought you liked me, but later I found out that you were just curious. When I was in Hexi, I wondered about you Why do you always love to follow me, until I found you secretly looking at Le Jia, I didn’t know that you didn’t come to find me. Since you love, you can go after it boldly, there is no need to hide it.”

Hearing Long Feiyu's blatant words, Yuzhi suddenly blushed and said, "Who said that? I came to Longfu just because I like you. Otherwise, why would I come?"

Yuzhi's words were so blatant, but Long Feiyu chuckled indifferently and said: "You are stubborn, I found a rule of yours, you talk very little when you come to Longfu on weekdays, and you don't let Ke Lejia come. You have to say what you say. I saw your brother a few days ago, and he asked me if I love you. "

Hearing what Long Feiyu said, several people suddenly pricked up their ears and listened carefully.Long Feiyu continued: "I told him that I just like you, the kind of brother's liking for a younger sister. Then he told me one thing, he told me that last time when you had a high fever, you yelled Le Jia in a daze name. If I don't like you, let me find a way to match the two of you."

Hearing what Long Feiyu said, Yuzhi glanced at Yiyi and Shishi beside her, and saw them looking at her in astonishment.She snorted dissatisfiedly, and said, "I'm here to congratulate you today, you're talking nonsense again, I'm leaving."

Yuzhi said and trotted away from Longfu, seeing Yuzhi leaving, Long Feiyu raised his head to signal Le Jia to chase him out.Le Jia looked at the direction Yuzhi left, shook his head and said, "Forget it, we're not suitable, I'm here to congratulate the marshal."

Hearing what Le Jia said, Long Feiyu glared at Le Jia and said: "I know what you think, what is wrong with the family, if you go back three generations, they may not be as good as your family. You are a general now anyway, Is there something wrong? Go after it quickly."

Le Jia shook his head and said, "Forget it, we're really not suitable."

Long Feiyu raised his leg and kicked Le Jia, pointing at the door and said: "If you don't chase Yuzhi back, be careful and go."

Hearing what Long Feiyu said, Le Jia had no choice but to chase after him.Seeing them go away, Yiyi and Shishi both felt cheated. They thought they came here for the same purpose, but now it seems that Yuzhi just used this incident as a shield. What happened to Long Feiyu.And ask yourself, do the two of them really like Long Feiyu?Maybe it's just a little good feeling.
