Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Li Yuan looked up and laughed. After laughing, he turned to his sons who were sitting on the side and said, "when I was in Hanyuan hall, I saw Xue Qing's family refuting the prince's words. I thought that Xue Qing's family should be a eloquent and eloquent person. Now it seems that it is not so!"

Prince Li Jiancheng also said with a smile, "why did such a clumsy speaker speak eloquently in the hall that day?"

Xue Lang had no choice but to reply: "returning to the crown prince is just a matter of distinguishing public and private affairs. Official affairs are related to the state and state of the country. Naturally, we should try our best to make clear what we think. The sage praises Wei Chen. It has nothing to do with the country and the country. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about how to reply. Saints and saints, such small things, I think the sage will not blame the humble minister

"What a difference between public and private!"

The king of Qin praised: "a gentleman should be quick at action and slow in speech. This is what Xue Jun Gong should say

Xue Lang politely said: "thank you for the praise of the king of Qin. I'm ashamed of you."

"The pumpkin and cabbage presented in Pingyang are also new crops brought back by Xue Qing's family?"

Thinking of today's Chaoshi, the sage asked.

Xue Lang replied, "Huisheng is indeed brought back by Wei Chen. It can be preserved properly and can be used as winter vegetables."

The sage praised: "good!"

When people eat vegetables, like to eat raw, chopped with seasoning, is a fresh vegetables. Even if it's Royal, it doesn't have the luxury of later generations. It's delicious to have a bowl of sweet and crisp shredded radish in winter. After all, it is only the early Tang Dynasty, and the weather of the prosperous Tang Dynasty has to wait until after the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of it, the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty was defeated by a hu'er by Li Longji. Hu'er was trained by him. If Gaozu, Taizong and Gaozong have spirits under the spring, they will be angry when they die. I don't know if Li Longji will be ashamed to die again when he meets his ancestors under Jiuquan in the future!

The thought is crooked again, hurry to pull back! Xue Lang quickly straightened his mind.

The sage said: "previously, jianlingzuo reported that he would select 5000 elite troops from the Garrison under his command and form elite troops. When Li Qing went, I told him to see if he had become an army, and what was the difficulty. Jianling my son has always reported good news but not bad news, and never complained bitterness to aye. Weizeguan garrisons have a certain number of troops, and their salaries are fixed. It is not easy to select and train elite soldiers, for fear that she will not be able to support her left and right. The day before yesterday, Li Gang came back to write a report, saying that the Wei ZEGUAN garrison was not only Xiong Bei's army, but also different from other places. He ordered and banned the troops. His military appearance had been greatly improved. It's all because the Xue Qing family offered Jianling the training method, right? "

I can't believe that the sage asked this question.

Xue Lang said frankly: "tell the sage, speaking of this matter, Wei Chen once said to Li Shangshu that in the training of troops, the theory of Wei Chen is a little general. If I was asked to practice, it would be a straw bag! It is only a few humble opinions that I have presented to Her Highness. My Royal Highness has been enlightened from these humble opinions and realized the method of training. It is the Royal Highness that has a great talent and a little minister. It is actually very shallow.

Xue Lang is telling the truth. He did not know anything about marching and fighting in ancient times. He could not even understand the flag, let alone command and practice.

If he had no practical experience, if he was asked to practice, he would only copy the modern one. He was afraid that it would be nothing but four dissimilarities, which could not stand the test of war. Xiong can become a soldier. It is the ability of her royal highness. Xue Lang has put forward an idea to ensure the logistics.

The sage asked, "is it also the credit of Jianling to prepare for the construction of the farm?"

This is his credit! Xue Lang was embarrassed to smile and bow his head, which was acquiescence. This honest appearance seemed to please Li Yuan, but he couldn't help laughing and said, "Qing family is really a sincere person."

Xue Lang sheepishly smiles and makes a default. With a smile, the sage said, "Xue Qing's family, a farm, is enough for 5000 elite soldiers?"

Xue Lang: "the sage, the farm is not responsible for the military food, only for the supply of non-staple food. Military grain is still allocated from military rates, while meat, vegetables, poultry and eggs are supplied by farms. At present, there is a slight surplus. "

This time, not only Li Yuan, but also the king of Qi was shocked. The father and son of this family are not all straw bags. They are both military and political figures. Naturally, they know the cost of training an elite soldier.

The king of Qi directly exclaimed, "the output of a farm can supply the cost of training 5000 elite soldiers, and even a little surplus. Is this really true?"

Xue Lang said: "every sentence is true, because of the abundant non-staple food supply in the farms, the military grain consumption is even lower than in previous years."

When meat and vegetables are rich, the consumption of natural staple food will decrease, which is a normal thing.

The king of Qin said: "before returning to the imperial court, I sent a horse to weizeguan to visit my elder sister. At that time, Xuejun was responsible for preparing for the construction of the farm. I had seen the planning drawings of Xue Jun Gong. The planning of the farm is closely linked. I think it is the unique selection of breeding products."

The last sentence is to look at Xue Lang to say, should be to him to verify.

Xue Lang nodded. Seeing this, the sage asked, "what kind of livestock are raised in the farm?"Xue Lang said: "the sage, the main breeding is pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, fish "

Xue Lang gave a general account of the farm.

After hearing this, the crown prince Jiancheng said: "if you can cultivate a pig in half a year, the meat produced by the pig is much more cost-effective than raising sheep, so it can also supply the training needs."

The reason why Tang people eat mutton more than pork is that sheep produce faster than pigs. Before there was no feed, it took Yang at least a year to get out of the market, which was the result of feeding a lot of roughage. With no corn, no sweet potato and other coarse grains, it takes enough time to develop a fat pig to raise several batches of sheep. No wonder there are more sheep and fewer pigs.

The sage asked, "can farms be promoted?"

Xue Lang said: "the sage, such a large-scale centralized breeding needs the supervision of experienced people. Otherwise, as long as there is an epidemic, it is almost foreseeable that the whole farm will be wiped out. In addition, there is the problem of earthworm degradation, which makes it difficult to popularize

The sage nodded and sighed: "the Qing family is only one person."

Xue Lang laughed and said, "the sage, the Minister of the lack of skills, naturally unable to promote. However, the overall mode of the farm can not be promoted, and some excellent breeding methods can be promoted. For example, the technology of pig breeding and fish culture in lotus pond and so on. However, it takes time and time to popularize these techniques. "

"Are you willing to teach these methods?"

"There is nothing strange about these methods, but they are a summary of experience. As a matter of fact, he has borrowed some agricultural books from his royal highness, especially in the book "Qi Min Yao Shu", which has been described by animal husbandry and forestry farmers. If we can promote this book, it will be good for our country and our people.

Qimin Yaoshu is a useful and practical book. There are not only records of how to farm, but also records of farming, and even processing methods, such as wine making.

The sage said, "this proposal is good. However, in today's world, there are few people who can read and read. It is easy to print books, but difficult to promote. In the final analysis, we need to do our best to make the country rich and the people strong, and open up the wisdom of the people. It is easy to get the world, but hard to keep it. Taro, Erlang and Wulang need to remember. "

Three people all should say: "obey father's instructions."
