Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 107

On the second day of bathing in April, before daybreak, a horse gallops into the city to pass on the head. Whose head is it?Of course it belonged to Wang Junkuo.

"Father, are you going to watch a drama in Wangjiang Tower today?"

In Changle Palace, Li Shimin asked with a smile on Li Yuan who had just woken up.

"Uh, Erlang! Don't kill too many people." Li Yuan understood a lot from Li Shimin's smile, and said in a slightly trembling voice.

"My son is not a bloodthirsty person, I only hope that the world will be peaceful, and my Li family will last forever."

As Li Shimin said, Pei Ji walked in with a miserable expression in the palace.

"Supreme Emperor, I have come to invite you to watch a drama in Wangjiang Tower."

Seeing that Pei Ji was still alive, Li Yuan showed surprise on his face, but turned his old eyes to Li Shimin again.

"Father, go at ease! No one in this world can disturb Father's enjoyment." After Li Shimin said, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of Chang'an Palace.

When he walked away, Pei Ji, who couldn't hold back, sat down on the ground.

"Pei Qing, this is..."

"Your Majesty, the veterans are useless. Wang Junkuo's men who sneaked into Chang'an secretly were besieged and killed, and his own head was also sent to the city. In addition, the five thousand private soldiers borrowed from the major families to ambush outside the city were all gone. " Pei Ji wiped away his old tears.

"All gone?..."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's soul was completely empty, and the glimmer of hope he had so hard to ignite was completely extinguished by a kick today.

"Forget it, forget it, I can't beat Erlang after all..."

After a long time, Li Yuan closed his eyes bitterly and said something, but he didn't have any intention of watching the play anymore.

The most depressing thing was Pei Ji. Li Shimin got rid of the two groups of people he arranged almost silently, and didn't even disturb the people of Chang'an City. He couldn't figure out what went wrong. Of course, he What I don't understand the most is that Li Shimin didn't punish him as the mastermind. What's the use of keeping him?

Of course, there are many uses. First of all, it is to stabilize the aristocratic family. Li Shimin is not afraid that these aristocratic forces will summon people to attack him, because, with the military power he has, he can easily deal with these non-professional militants. What he is afraid of is that the conflict with the aristocratic family will explode completely. Afterwards, the entire Tang Dynasty's official system will be paralyzed, so killing their private soldiers and generals is just a warning to them. As long as they can be honest in the future, Li Shimin can not pursue this matter for the time being.

However, there is a time limit for not being held accountable. Before Li Shimin relieves Datang of internal and external troubles, if they can't give up their own interests and join them, then Li Shimin won't mind wielding the butcher's knife anymore.

Another purpose is to maintain Li Shimin's reputation. He can't kill Li Yuanchao's prime minister as soon as he ascends the throne. In this way, no matter how much he whitewashes in the history books, future generations will be suspicious. Dry.

In fact, in Li Shimin's reign, so many rebellious incidents were basically driven by aristocratic families. This has something to do with his attitude towards the aristocratic families. Through the general incident, let those aristocratic families know that Li Shimin has the intention to eradicate them , it's no wonder they don't do everything possible to promote rebellion!

A big coup was eliminated by Li Shimin, so most of the people in Chang'an City didn't know about it, they only thought that Wang Junkuo made an oolong, so the business of Wangjiang Tower is still booming today.

Three months later, The Legend of the White Snake is finally about to start. You know, the plot last time was interrupted at the Shuiman Jinshan Temple, which is so tortured.

The people of Chang'an City, who have spent a spring in countless plot conjectures, can finally know the answer to the mystery today. Therefore, after a hasty lunch, everyone gathered in front of the stage.

However, the play didn't start right away. After the curtain opened, a long red carpet was spread in the middle of the stage, rhythmic light music played, and several girls in new dresses appeared on the stage. Their dresses were either dignified and generous, or Beautiful and virtuous, or playful and cute, in short, it can make people's eyes shine.

With the rhythm of the music, these girls walked from the end of the red carpet to the forefront of the stage in an elegant posture, then turned around beautifully, posed a few standing poses, and then walked back.

The people of Datang who have never seen a fashion show were stunned. However, on the stage, the show continued, and the girls changed for several rounds, until everyone's eyes gradually shifted from the faces of these girls to the leather jackets and waistcoats on them. , handbag, and high-heeled boots, the music stopped.

At this time, Sun Xiangfuti, who was wearing long-sleeved trousers and leather boots, walked onto the stage with a big horn.

"I believe everyone has seen the outfits on the girls just now. Of course, some people just stared at the faces of other girls."

With just one sentence, everyone found the feeling they had during the Spring Festival Gala and Shangyuan Night, and burst into laughter.

After making a gesture of hissing, Sun Xiangfu raised the flag again and honked, "Maybe you don't know why a group of girls wearing all kinds of fur goods were arranged to walk around on the stage just now. Let me tell you quietly, Don't spread the word! This can be regarded as a little benefit that our Wangjiang Tower brings to regular customers."

Speaking of this, everyone's curiosity was aroused by Sun Xiangfu, and they held their breath, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"The leather goods they wear are not simple, they are specially made by the royal family for the empresses and princesses in the harem. Because they made a lot of them, it would be a waste of idle time, so I took this small part of the extra products to the market. For sale, the shop is located in Dongshi, it’s called Supreme Leather Goods, they’re all high-quality goods, if you go there late, they’ll be out of stock!”

Aren’t the clothes worn by empresses and princesses the supreme among women? In this case, Sun Xiangfu doesn’t need to say too much, just leave an introduction. After he went down with the trumpet, all the models walked on the stage again, At this time, everyone's eyes were more focused on the leather goods on their bodies. Soon, everyone discovered the exquisiteness of these leather goods, especially the handbags and high-heeled leather boots. The average height of this woman is less than 1 In the era of Mi 55, the temptation of high heels to women is too great.

After this round of runway was over, many servants and people dressed as servants in the restaurant left. Presumably, they should have gone to the Dongshi Supreme Leather Store to sweep the goods.

If you only charge a thousand guan, then you will only help a thousand guan. After Sun Xiangfu finished what he should do, he immediately went to the backstage to put on makeup and change costumes.Afterwards, The Legend of the White Snake began, until Bai Suzhen gave birth to a child and was imprisoned under the Leifeng Pagoda by Faguan, and Xu Xian became a monk.

When the play ended, Sun Xiangfu, who was taking off his make-up backstage, was notified that Xuanzang was visiting.

"I haven't seen you for some days, but the master has lost a lot." Sun Xiangfu said while sitting down at the coffee table in the office while pouring hot water for Xuanzang.

"The poor monk is so focused on traveling westward that he has been begging His Majesty these days so that he can't sleep at night, which made Mr. Sun laugh at him." Xuanzang thanked Sun Xiangfu for the tea.

"Master, it is in vain. Restricting the development of Buddhism is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. It is reasonable for His Majesty not to allow it. It is actually a Buddhist teaching, which is inconsistent with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty." Sun Xiangfu persuaded.

"The doctrine does not match the national policy? Lord Sun, please enlighten me." Xuanzang was taken aback when he heard the words.

"Not to mention anything else, just the rule that monks are not allowed to marry and have children after receiving the precepts is something that His Majesty hates deeply. If you don't appreciate the righteousness of the monks and soldiers to help the war, there may be no Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty." Sun Xiangfu analyzed to Xuanzang.

Hearing this, Xuanzang remained silent for a long time. The more politically stable the Tang Dynasty became, Li Shimin paid more attention to the population. Population is the productivity and the source of soldiers. At present, the population of the Tang Dynasty is only more than 200 million, which is almost the same as that of the Qin and Han Dynasties. This is the age with the smallest population since then, and your Buddhist school has such precepts, why do you blame the imperial court for suppressing you?

After a while, seeing Xuanzang was speechless, Sun Xiangfu said again, "Since Buddhism is destined to be a minority sect in this era, why does the master insist on preaching Buddhism?"

"No, no, in Western India, Buddhism prevails. All people believe in Buddhism, and there is no fear in their hearts, but it does not affect people's survival and reproduction..."

Xuanzang was about to say more, but Sun Xiangfu interrupted him with his hand, "Master also knows that not all Tianzhu people can become monks, they only admire the philosophy of Buddhism, and at present, the monks in my Tang Dynasty are relatively In terms of the number of people, there are still too many people, and the people in Tianzhu who believe in Buddhism may not live better than the people in Tang Dynasty, the master will have to see it in person to know."

"However, if His Majesty refuses to allow it, how will the poor monk get there?"

Hearing what Xuanzang said, Sun Xiangfu knew that he had not yet made up his mind to sneak out of the customs, and was still trying to obtain official approval. With the official customs clearance document, when he arrived in Tianzhu, the treatment he received and his private visit to the general There will be a natural difference. At that time, he will be able to directly ask the Buddhist sect of Tianzhu for the scriptures, instead of returning with the scriptures after more than ten years of study and defeating the Tianzhu people with the Buddhism of the Tianzhu people. .

"If you don't have a certificate of customs clearance, go by yourself! However, I still don't recommend that master go by land. Now that Xieli and Tuli are fighting outside the customs, why not go by water and let me give you a ride?"

"By water? You want to go to sea?"

In his previous conversation with Sun Xiangfu, he knew the world, at least the distribution of land in Asia, and knew that going to Tianzhu from Lingnan is actually not far away.

"Well, there's something I want in the south, so drop by."

Sun Xiangfu also didn't know anything about sailing, so he didn't dare to cross the Pacific Ocean as soon as he came up. He started with the offshore sailing and played around with the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.

"So, the poor monk would like to thank Master Sun for sending him off." Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and bowed with his palms together.

"Master, there is no need to do this. I will not send Master all the way to Tianzhu, at most to Lingnan, but at that time, you can borrow the master's boat and sailors. After sending the master to Tianzhu, they will return. The return date of the master is up to the master himself. !" Sun Xiangfu helped Xuanzang up and said.

His goal is Champa rice. Once this kind of rice with a growth cycle of only two months is introduced, it will change the agricultural structure of the entire Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has the convenience of the canal, and there is no problem in communication between the north and the south. If the sparsely populated south can A large amount of food is produced for the country, so even if it is consumed, Datang can also consume some of the surrounding countries that are coveting. You must know that fighting is fighting for resources. When productivity increases and the reserve resources are unlimited, whoever is a minority can consume too much energy. The skilled and brave Datang?

　Thank you Lu Bucai and Not Thick Not Greasy for rewarding again, I wish you good luck in your life!
