Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 68 Advance in battle
"Presumptuous, how dare you insult Master Kong, Your Majesty, please take this responsibility seriously."

"Your servant, please take this responsibility seriously..."

Wow, almost [-]% of the civil servants in the court knelt down, and even Sun Xiangfu's father-in-law, Yu Chang, had to follow the crowd to bow down, this is the queen of saints!Why doesn't this kid know how to choose words carefully!
Li Shimin was very embarrassed. He agreed with what Sun Xiangfu said in his heart. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, it happens to use those Turkic captives. Of course, they cannot be sent back. Suppression, then next year, will Datang be able to fight against the Turkic 10,000+ iron cavalry?
However, now [-]% of the civil servants in the entire court want to punish this reckless boy. If he doesn't follow everyone's wishes, the court may be in chaos. Now Li Shimin regrets keeping Sun Xiangfu. The matter is explained clearly. , he should be let go quickly.

Sun Xiangfu was frightened. He didn't expect that his words would cause such a big reaction from the civil servants' team. When he heard these civil servants call this old man Master Kong, Sun Xiangfu almost covered his face. This is the Kong family from Shandong!No wonder these literati wanted to kill themselves as if they had beaten chicken blood.

"Your Majesty, I feel that although Sun Xiamu's words are reckless, what he said is not unreasonable. At least, the Turkic captives cannot be released. Otherwise, Jieli's strength will increase greatly, and it will be difficult for Tuli to compete. Being reunified by Xieli, they will definitely go south again in the near future, and it will be a shame."

At the critical moment, it was Qin Qiong who gave his strength, because the matter of the Turkic captives had already involved the military, so he did not cross the line. When he said this, a large number of people from the general team immediately echoed his words.

"Second by the ministers..."

"Second by the ministers..."

Not only the military commanders, but also the civil servants, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others also spoke out to help in a timely manner. In terms of momentum, they were no weaker than those who supported the severe punishment of Sun Xiangfu. There is a person at the head of the class whose status is not weaker than Kong Yingda, and that is Pei Ji who has been the prime minister since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"The old minister thinks that although Sun Xiamu's words are a little inappropriate, they are speaking for the country. His affection is commendable, his heart is sensitive, and there is nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty only needs to let him study behind closed doors and study hard. Just understand the words of the sages."

Pei Ji's words at this time just gave Li Shimin a step, so he said, "In this way, I will follow what Pei Xiang said, Sun Zhengming will obey the order, and I will order you to go home and study, to understand the words of the sages, and you must not talk about the government without anything. Back off!"

"Your Majesty, don't let this dog go so easily..."

"You are not joking, do you want to resist the decree?"

Everyone in the civil servants' team wanted to hold on, but Li Shimin's majestic voice sounded, and everyone fell down in the hall instantly. Sun Xiangfu felt that this place was no longer a place to stay for long, so he quickly bowed and said, "My minister takes the order to thank you. "

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall quickly as if fleeing, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others sighed secretly, what a pity for such a talented man who manages the world and governs the country.

Offending the Kong family is tantamount to offending scholars all over the world. Then, he will no longer have a foothold in the court dominated by literati, and Sun Xiangfu is not a general. In this way, he may only be the emperor's retainer for the rest of his life.

What Sun Xiangfu didn't know was that in the court without him, more exciting scenes were about to happen. The trio of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji hadn't exerted their strength yet!They will not quarrel with all civil officials like Sun Xiangfu. They will use the gains and losses of the court and the principles to promote their political goals. When Sun Xiangfu returns to the Fisheries Department to eat and drink with his subordinates, some Things finally settled down.

The first thing to establish is that the Tang Dynasty never had a policy of prohibiting anyone from buying and selling items that were not prohibited by the imperial court, including the royal family. Therefore, the output of the royal farms, like the output of the noble ministers' fiefs, can be sold to the outside world, otherwise , which is inconsistent with reason.What the laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibited were only the business activities of officials who bought low and sold high, and the crime was also judged according to the amount of business profits.

Secondly, order the prefects and county magistrates of various states in Guanzhong to organize manpower and build reservoirs to prevent drought. Then, the Turkic captives cannot be returned to Xieli for the time being. They stay to do something, and by the way help you raise them for a while, you can't help but be happy!As for the Turkic envoys, the diplomats headed by Tang Jian are in charge of the negotiations, and the negotiations only need to achieve one goal, delay.

It would be best if these Turkic captives were unwilling to return to Turkic and all the captured Turkic cattle and sheep were eaten up. This would be beneficial to all classes in the Tang Dynasty, and no one would object!
Finally, since it is known that there will be a drought in Guanzhong next year, the first task of next year's spring plowing is to mobilize grain and rice from southern states and counties into Guanzhong as soon as possible, and to replant the land in Guanzhong with drought-tolerant crops. The rules were quickly worked out, and the meeting was only dispersed when many officials in the hall were about to faint from hunger. At this time, a decree flew to the Fisheries Department.

"Order, the pastor supervisor Sun Zhengming will meet you at the Lizheng Palace."

It happened that Sun Xiangfu had already eaten and drank enough at this time, so he straightened his official robes and followed the eunuch who passed the decree to the Lizheng Palace.

On the table in the main hall, Li Shimin was holding a big bowl, eating noodles with huh-huh. This ramen is a delicious noodle dish recently made by the chef of Wangjiang Tower according to Sun Xiangfu's idea. The cook at home will soon pass it on to Luotian, so the ramen with dogwood sesame oil has become Li Shimin's favorite after he is hungry. This guy also likes to eat raw garlic when eating ramen. Empress Changsun couldn't bear the taste in his mouth.

"My minister pays homage to His Majesty, Empress Empress."

"Well, excuse me! Regarding the construction of the reservoir, I would like to hear some useful suggestions."

When Li Shimin said this, he meant that he wanted to hear things that were beneficial to him.

Sun Xiangfu had expected this to happen, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I sent Shi Dalang, who manages the fishery in Xingfu Village, to explore the terrain around Chang'an, and found dozens of places that could be used to build dams. To build reservoirs, more than a dozen reservoirs can be built that are larger than the fishery in Xingfu Village. In addition, there are several large reservoirs that can be built ten times the size of the fishery in Xingfu Village. Only one fishery in Xingfu Village can raise 40 fish. Ten thousand fish, if these reservoirs are built, then..."

"Crack."

Li Shimin's chopsticks actually fell off. A fishing ground in Xingfu Village can produce millions of catties of fish a year. If there are dozens of such fishing grounds in Guanzhong, or even larger fishing grounds, wouldn't it be possible to get tens of millions of catties of fish? Tens of millions of catties?
"Your Majesty, my concubine wants to recruit this Shi Dalang into the Fisheries Department to serve as the supervisor and assist Sun Xiamu in building the reservoir. I don't know if it is possible."

"Ma'am, Shi Dalang is still a child under 13 years old."

"Uh, 13 years old, it can be used."

Seeing how the two couples eat, Sun Xiangfu doesn't want to say more, if you say you want to use it, just use it!Anyway, there is nothing wrong with being an official. When the reservoir is repaired, you will benefit from the royal family, and I can also fish some by the way.

"I agree. In addition, I think the Fisheries Department will be expanded. Guo Feng, the former supervisor of the Fisheries Department, will be promoted to deputy supervisor. In addition, two more deputy supervisors will be sent to allow the Fisheries Department to recruit 32 officials and three servants. One hundred, in addition, [-]% of the production of the Fisheries Department must be handed over to the inner palace."

All right!Li Shimin pretended to be generous. Although he expanded the yamen, [-]% of the original handed over became [-]%. He also sent a few more deputy supervisors to share his oil and water. Could this make Sun Xiangfu feel better?However, he was powerless to refute!
"I will replace Shi Bao, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Well, I will send people from the Ministry of Industry and Water Supervision to lead the Turkic captives to help build the reservoir. At that time, you can send someone from the Fisheries Department to guide you. In addition, I will share with you the management methods of the various departments of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Department you mentioned last time. After discussing it, you think it is very feasible, I will let you serve as the deputy supervisor of Zhongmu, and let Li Xian ask you for some specific management methods, you should help him well."

Thinking of that fat man Li Xian, Sun Xiangfu suddenly realized that his mother's legs are fake and generous. Since he is concurrently serving, then his rank as the deputy supervisor of the middle animal husbandry is the same as that of the lower animal husbandry supervisor, except that there is one more intervening The rights of the other supervisors, and Li Wenxian is a master who doesn't care about things at all. Li Shimin wants to take the salary of the supervisor and do the work of the supervisor. No, he is taking the salary of the supervisor. I also did the work of the Central Shepherd Supervisor. You know, the last time Empress Changsun promoted him from Xia Mujian Cheng to Xia Mujian, she didn't give him any more jobs, so he said in a bit of a dilemma, "Well, my minister Now I'm still holding the position of the Food Superintendent, and also the Deputy Superintendent of Zhongmu, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it all at once!"

"Okay, do you think I don't know what you do every day? I'm free to sing in my own restaurant, can't I handle this? The remaining 2000 mu of land in Xingfu Village will be your job field in the future , I will have a decree tomorrow and send it to your residence together with Shi Bao's appointment."

"Uh, alright! If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, then I will retire."

"Go down!"

Li Shimin waved his hand at Sun Xiangfu, looked at his leaving back, and said to Changsun Wuyou with a sly smile, "This is a mercenary guy who has offended all the civil servants today, and there is no possibility of becoming a courtier. Be a retainer of my Li family until you die!"

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise, and everyone can give full play to their talents."

"If you are wise, you won't be forced to make many unavoidable decisions by those minions of the aristocratic family." Li Shimin said with a dark face upon hearing this.

Today, the team of civil servants formed a tendency to force him into the palace several times, which made him very upset. In addition, Kong Yingda actually proposed that he should be punished when there is a natural disaster. This is a matter that will seriously damage the emperor's reputation. If there is a natural disaster, should he, the emperor, still do it?

To Li Shimin's relief, Wei Zheng, who usually loves to be the best with him, makes him feel uncomfortable, but he is a sensible person. It seems that it is time to let him work and push Kong Yingda away.

　There are [-] more acres of employment land, and I don’t know if there will be [-] more recommendation tickets. Everyone, it’s time for you to perform the one-finger Zen magic.Thank you for the rewards of Willing to be a strong country and Gaojia Shutong. I know that you have been silently voting for me before, and I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart.
