At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 27

In front of his wife and children, Fang Xuanling sighed softly.

This afternoon, he went through the construction plan of Wanmin City with Xu Mu, and to be honest...

He didn't understand.

He has read a lot of poetry and books, has a profound family knowledge, and has a wide range of knowledge, that is, he knows a little about everything.

But I have never seen such a strange building.

There is also the square that Xu Mu mentioned, the first phase of the residential area project.

He can probably understand the residential area. It should be built for residents living in dilapidated wooden shacks outside the city.

But the four-storey building, according to Xu Mu, has two staircases and six households, um, that is, two staircases can lead to the fourth floor, and there are six households on the first floor.

He had never heard of such a house type design, and most importantly, such a huge project actually said... it would take one month to complete!
"There is also cement. If it is true what the lord said, the changes to the world in the future will be far beyond that of briquettes!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and said with emotion.

Xu Mu said that the construction of a residential area in January was not empty talk. It is said that the Hundred Ren Monument was also built in one day and one night.

Fang Xuanling once asked Lao Lai, the head of the civil servants, based on this question, and got a definite answer.

"If compared to Li Yuan who is in Taiyuan..." Surrounded by the stove, Fang Xuanling was seriously thinking about the future of the family. Mrs. Fang was a good wife and mother at this time, and she didn't bother her at all.

Just last year, Li Yuan was appointed as the left guard in Taiyuan, responsible for suppressing rebellions in various places. Taking this opportunity, he frantically recruited troops.

His heart to fight for world hegemony is clearly revealed.

Especially his son Li Shimin made friends with heroes and righteous men everywhere, and recruited a group of brave generals who dared to die under his command.

In fact, he is quite optimistic about Li Yuan's influence. First of all, he is rooted in Miaohong.

Li Yuan succeeded Tang Guogong, who practiced good governance to the people of Taiyuan, never harshly criticized him, and was quite like a wise king.

And... At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a prophecy: Li will replace Yang!
Even among folk children, the nursery rhyme "Yanghualuo, Lihuakai" was prevalent.

During the period of Emperor Wen, the world once targeted a group of ministers surnamed Li, but the witty Li Yuan tried his best to reduce his sense of existence and escaped the catastrophe.

As a scholar, Fang Xuanling is very sensitive to such predictions.

Don't you hear... At the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was also a troubled time. The prophecies such as "the ancestors and dragons died and the land was divided", "although there are three families in Chu, the Qin will be destroyed after the death of the Qin Dynasty", all of them came true in the end.

Therefore, in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Fang Xuanling's first thought was to seek refuge with Li Yuan.

Who gave his surname Li?

Secondly, Li Yuan valued talents and had great trust in counselors and generals. If he went forward, he would surely make a difference with his strategy.

The most important thing is that the world will be in chaos right now, and he speculates that Li Yuan has the intention of getting involved in Chang'an.

Li Yuan was born in Chang'an, and his aunt was Empress Dugu, and the forces in Chang'an were deeply rooted.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is now the focus of the world. Once Li Yuan makes a move on Chang'an, Chang'an may fall into Li Yuan's hands without any effort.

From then on, Li Yuan occupied the capital, dominated Guanzhong, and commanded the world, and the general situation was mostly settled!

So no matter how Fang Xuanling looked at it, he felt that the future world belonged to the Li family.

Looking at the stove in front of him, Li Yuan and Xu Mu appeared on the left and right sides of Fang Xuanling's mind.

One is strong and ambitious, and the other is hiding in the mountains. There are only three thousand soldiers and ten thousand people, and they also want to share a piece of the world.

If Xu Mu was an ordinary traitor, he wouldn't even consider it.

But in just two days, Xu Mu has shown many surprises.

The first is Zhang Xutuo, this fierce general is incredible, even though he is far away in Shandong, he has heard of this man's heroic deeds.

There are more than twenty rebel forces, large and small, who have been wiped out in his hands!
It is simply the anti-thief nemesis.

In addition, strange buildings, weird cement, magical briquettes...

He couldn't make a choice for a while.

"That's all, anyway, there are still two days left, let's see tomorrow."

The night was dark, Fang Yizhi had already gone back to his room to rest, Fang Xuanling shook his head, and simply gave up on this tangled issue.

And Mrs. Fang looked at her husband, showing a rare tenderness at this time: "Xuanling, no matter what decision you make, our mother and son will support you."

Fang Xuanling held his wife's hand, and there seemed to be heat rising in his lungs, and he was very moved.

"But today...you ignore me when I call you for a long time, the old rules, you still sleep on the floor!"

But the tenderness was only for a moment, Mrs. Fang snorted coldly, kicked Fang Xuanling to the ground again.

……

The next day, Xu Mu took Fang Xuanling out of the city and went to the dilapidated wooden shed he had seen before outside the city.

Under the leadership of Xu Mu, he first saw the one-acre terraced fields reclaimed among the slopes, as well as the drum carts that lifted water step by step between the terraced fields.

Some fields are being cultivated, using the Quyuan plow newly developed by the research institute.

In winter, a lot of grain was dug out in some vegetable fields!
Under the introduction of Song Bin, the agricultural secretary who accompanied him, he actually heard the exaggerated figure of 31 shi per mu!

His little heart was beating in shock.

He lived in Fangzhuang since he was a child. His family has hundreds of acres of land and a large number of tenant farmers. He knows that if the production capacity per mu is one and a half stones, it is considered a bumper harvest.

"The yield per mu is 31 shi. Is there any proof?" Fang Xuanling's lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Song Bin.

As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

As soon as he said this, Song Bin was not happy on the contrary, with a blunt tone, he snorted coldly: "You scholar, you are even more rude than that person surnamed Yang a few days ago, even if someone lied to you, but what is the master?" People, how could they lie to you?"

When Xu Mu heard this, his expression was quite strange. He recalled that Song Bin had scolded Lao Yang a few days ago.

If he knew that he had scolded the current emperor, His Majesty Sui...

I'm afraid I'll freak out on the spot.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu couldn't help shaking his head, but in Fang Xuanling's eyes, it seemed that this matter was not true.

"Forget it, today coincides with the harvest of a new batch of winter wheat. I'll take you to the experimental field next door." Although Song Bin's tone was blunt, he waved his hand and led Fang Xuanling to the nearby winter wheat experimental field.

"Old Zhao, my lord has invited an uninformed scholar today, you can teach him a lot." Song Bin brought Fang Xuanling to the experimental field not far away, and said to the agricultural secretary in charge of the experimental field.

Afterwards, Song Bin bowed to Xu Mu and bid farewell. His potato field will open up more mountain terraces this year. He has a lot of things to do now, and he is very busy.

However, with Xu Mu's promise of one-thousandth reward, he is also willing to do so.

After all, life has a head, and there will be motivation.

"My lord." The agricultural secretary named Old Zhao first saluted Xu Mu respectfully, then looked at Fang Xuanling, pointed at the heavy winter wheat in front of him and said, "This is winter wheat, which is about to be harvested today. You can come and weigh yourself."

At this time, Fang Xuanling's eyes had completely fallen on the winter wheat in front of him, and he didn't even hear the words of the agricultural secretary.

Golden ruins, falling heavily, a scene of a bumper harvest.

Seeing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Even if they saw cement yesterday, the old house did not have such a big reaction.

It seems that off-season crop varieties are still very lethal in this era.

In the future, if there are scholars who are interested in it, it can be used to streamline the visit to Wanmin City, and it is specially used to subdue those scholars who are hesitant.

Later, in Fang Xuanling's own weighing, it was found that the yield per mu was four and a half stones!
Fang Xuanling was speechless, as if he was stimulated by something on the way back, he was dazed.

……

that night.

Fang Xuanling's family continued to chat around the fire at night.

Mrs. Fang did not disagree with Fang Xuanling this time, because she found that Fang Xuanling's state was not right.

"Father? What's wrong with you?" Fang Yi shook Fang Xuanling, but Fang Xuanling didn't respond.

The mother and son looked at the bewildered Fang Xuanling worriedly, and heard him muttering words like "four stones and a half" all the time.

"Then what did the lord take him to see? With this condition, can he go tomorrow?" Mrs. Fang complained in a low voice worriedly.

"Go! Of course!"

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling stood up abruptly, as if a ball of flames were burning in his eyes.

then……

Mrs. Fang, who was startled by him, came to her senses and immediately kicked him.

"Are you going to rebel? Are there any rules in this family?" Mrs. Fang also stood up, staring at Fang Xuanling with her hips on her hips.

Fang Xuanling hesitated, and hurriedly apologized to his wife: "My husband saw the wheat yielding four and a half stones per mu today, and I knew that there are such strange things in the world, so I was a little lost. Madam, don't blame, madam..."

After a while of soothing, Mrs. Fang's expression eased a little, and she sat down slowly. Seeing this, Fang Xuanling let out a long breath.

Today... there should be no need to make floor coverings anymore, right?
"The yield per mu is four and a half shi? Usually, the tenant farmers in our Zhuangzi can get a shi of grain at most in good years. How come he has so much here?" Mrs. Fang has always been in charge of the mundane affairs in the Zhuangzi, so when she heard Fang Xuanling If so, it is quite suspicious.

"This is exactly where my husband's doubts lie. This city looks ordinary, but it is actually extraordinary. This... my lord, looks young, but in fact there is a gap in his chest, and there is a universe hidden inside." Fang Xuanling commented solemnly.

This is the conclusion he got about Xu Mu after he came to Wanmin City for two days.

"If this son is elected as an official, he will be a minister capable of governing the world, but it is unknown whether he will be a traitor in troubled times."

Fang Xuanling said with emotion, comparing Li Yuan with Xu Mu in his heart, the balance has tilted a lot.

He is not a pedant.

Nor is it the kind of person who cannot assist a traitor.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling was a very complicated person.

He is eager to make meritorious deeds, so he is extra cautious before going out to join any forces.

But there is only one world, and only one side can succeed.

Originally, he looked down on Xu Mu's power.

But the various utensils and miracles in the civilian field that he saw in the past two days completely changed his mind.

The most important thing is that tomorrow, Xu Mu told him that he would take him to the military camp to watch the flag-raising ceremony and the first military competition every seven days!

He knew that this was the main event.

A man with a strong army and a strong horse is the son of heaven, and if he only does a good job in people's livelihood, he can only be a minister who can govern the world.

However, what Xu Mu showed in terms of people's livelihood made Fang Xuanling look forward to the party in the army tomorrow.

That's why he couldn't help shouting that he must go tomorrow!
Because he needs a master who can understand and empower him, someone who can recognize his talent and who is qualified to annex the world.

But right now, as he learned more, Fang Xuanling found that Xu Mu was more and more in line with his requirements for choosing a king.
