Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Emperor Chang'an --

the sage Li Yuan is holding the beautiful young princess Yin de in his arms. He is in the middle of a dream. He goes to the front of the curtain and reports: "report to the sage, Duke Xiao and Duke Pei come together, and there is a great news to the sage."

After a while of silence in the tent, Li Yuan asked, "since he and he came together, I think it must be a great thing to come, Xuan bar."

"Here it is."

"Saint."

The young and charming female voice is still a little confused. Li Yuan said, "it's still early. I'll go first."

"How can I sleep without the sage? Let the slaves serve the saints to dress. "

Yin Defei sleeps and gets up to wait on Li Yuan to dress.

Li Yuan dressed up, out of the palace, went directly to the Taiji hall, where Xiao Xuan and Pei Ji were already there. Seeing Li Yuan coming, Qi Qi saluted: "congratulations to the sage, congratulations to the saint."

Li Yuan asked, "where does happiness come from?"

Xiao Xuan took out a letter from his sleeve cage and put it on it: "this is the song sent by Princess Pingyang eight hundred Li from Weize pass garrison. Please have a look at it!"

Is it from Pingyang?

Li Yuan repressed his joy and took over the sparring. It seemed that the handwriting should be written by Pingyang himself! Li Yuanfei looked at it quickly and couldn't help laughing: "Pingyang my son, it's not great auspiciousness to send such a good report!"

The two ministers were also full of joy: "it's really a great auspicious omen! Sages should announce to the world, so as to strengthen the popularity of the Tang Dynasty and frighten the thieves and rebels! "

"Yes! Come on, ring the bell. I want to hold a great court meeting

"Here it is

After a while, the bell that announced the Grand Court meeting rang through the city. Today is not the day of the Grand Court meeting. If the Grand Court meeting is held temporarily, you can imagine that all the officials in Beijing should be in a hurry again.

When the court meeting was held, Li Yuan took Xiao Xuan and Pei Ji directly to the court. After a ceremony, Li Yuan knelt down on the throne and said, "today's temporary Grand Court meeting is a happy event to share with all the ministers! Xiao Qing

"Here it is

Xiao Xuan stepped out of the column, took out the sparse music from his sleeve cage, and began to read it in the court -

"hiss"

the voice of taking a breath backward was really neat and loud. When Xiao Xuan finished reading the whole book, all the ministers looked at each other and knelt down together: "congratulations to the sage, congratulations on the saint, this is the great auspicious also, is the sign of our Tang Dynasty sages being ordered by heaven, and the country's sovereignty has been extended!"

At the great court meeting, from saints to ministers, everyone was in a state of excitement. This is not the auspicious omen of pretending to play tricks, but the real auspicious omen. The yield of new crops is more than 20 stones. Has there ever been more real auspicious than this? Liu Hei Kai's rebellion seems insignificant! At the

meeting, Xue Lang naturally did not know. He was sitting with his royal highness and discussed the promotion of sweet potato vermicelli making methods.

Princess Pingyang said, "the sweet potato yield is huge, which is of great importance. The sage will send envoys down to check it out. The people who come are honest and upright like Li Gang, or people of the Li family."

Xue Lang said: "no matter who the comer is, anyway, we haven't made any fake. The output is also solid. We are not afraid of it. It's better for honest officials to come."

Princess Pingyang smiles and nods. Xue Lang said: "I have two plans to promote the production of sweet potato vermicelli. Please refer to 12 for details."

Princess Pingyang said, "yes! You can do everything you can

Xue Lang then put forward his own method. There are two most convenient ways to promote a new thing. One is that the state comes forward and promotes it in the form of official promotion. Because of the authority of the state, this kind of promotion is the easiest, but it costs a lot of money.

There is another kind of promotion, which is the business model, which takes advantage of businessmen's interest to promote. In this era when grain production is generally not high and most people can not eat enough, it is naturally welcome to have a crop with high yield, simple planting and satiety. However, the farmers in our Dynasty were generally of a strong sense of small-scale farmers, timid and safe, and they were not very bold to try new crops, afraid of no harvest and starvation.

Xue Lang concluded: "the two kinds of promotion methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In fact, I prefer to ask the court to promote them. The appearance of sweet potato is auspicious. We may as well carry out thorough promotion of auspicious omen. This is also a kind of moral policy. It will be better if evaluated by later generations."

Princess Pingyang did not speak, but looked at Xue Lang with a smile. Xue Lang was puzzled: "why does your highness look at me like this?"

Princess Pingyang said: "listening to Youyang's speech, it seems that you don't value and respect the name of Youyang. If you don't know Youyang well, you still think Youyang is a person with supreme interests, regardless of morality."

Xue Lang's egg hurt and said, "isn't it analyzing now? In analyzing nature, we should be more rational and objective, taking into account all the good and bad. "

This is the habit of modern people. When we consider things and make decisions, we should consider all aspects of interests. Naturally, the greater the benefits, the better.

Princess Pingyang said, "in front of me, Youyang can speak freely. However, if Youyang becomes an official in Beijing, you should be careful. If such remarks were made in the court, I'm afraid that the evaluation of Youyang in later historical books will be low. "Xue Lang sincerely thanks: "Xue Lang was taught, thank you for your advice."

It was for his good that he was so admonished. If we think about the later generations, we can see that all kinds of things about historical figures can be found everywhere. Let alone the ancient historical figures, they are the modern historical figures. There are also some people with ulterior motives who are making waves, which is called historical nihilism. Xue Lang agreed with the rational and well founded academic research, but he did not agree with the judgment based on only a few words.

However, there is a problem to be said. Xue Lang said: "it's too early to be an official in Beijing. My subordinates are doing a good job in the princess's mansion. I don't want to change places."

Princess Pingyang said, "thank you very much for your intention. However, if the sage gives an edict..."

Xue Lang said directly: "is it impossible to force people to become officials? Your highness is my Savior. Now is the time when your highness needs me. Is Xue Lang one of those ungrateful people who only care about themselves? Or, in your Highness's eyes, what kind of person am I? "

Pingyang Princess waved her hand: "I know Youyang, but, things change, it's not good enough."

It's a bit of a story. Xue Lang firmly said: "I know what I know, your highness, don't worry about it."

"In any case, Youyang should be prepared first."

Xue Lang said decisively, "don't worry about this matter, your highness. Let your subordinates deal with it. By the way, when will the emissary sent by the court arrive? "

Princess Pingyang said, "Xiangrui confirms that the court has a set of detailed rules. According to the rules, plus the time spent on the road, maybe more than half a month."

Xue Lang estimated it silently and said, "then the potatoes should be able to dig by then. Do you want to report the potatoes as well?"
