The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Although the soul is not the same soul, the person is still the same person.

The body is, only the thought has changed, not the bloodline, which can be regarded as a disguised way of passing this branch down.

In this way, there is nothing wrong.

If I hadn't come, I'm afraid the original Li Fu would have died in the battle for water, and there would be no later, let alone seeing Li Yuan walking out of the palace incognito.

I can only say that everything has cause and effect.

It has been three years since I came to the Tang Dynasty, and this is the first time I have celebrated the Laba Festival so seriously.

Although there was a custom in the past, and we stayed up all night on New Year's Day, but the conditions are different now.

The bigger the family business, the more people there are in the family, and the more things to do.

Li Fu knelt on the futon.

He could only tell some of his inner thoughts to himself, and it was also good to talk to the tablet above.

He was the only one in the ancestral hall, while Lao Zhao and Xiao Tao were waiting in the yard.

Li Fu looked at the two tablets on top, and he felt that he should add another one...

It was for the deceased Li Fu...

However, if he really dared to put a tablet with "Li Fu" on it, it would not take a day for everyone in Chang'an City to know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jingyang was crazy.

He was fine, but he made a tablet for himself and put it in the ancestral hall.

He was not dead yet.

"After all, I am a member of the Li family. Since I am here, I have to live a good life, not only in the whole house, but also in the farmers in the past, and now, in the palace."

Li Fu whispered, muttering to himself.

From meeting Li Yuan, to being recognized by Li Yuan, and then the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuan abdicated, and the Turks went south.

This year, too many things happened to Li Fu. Because of his identity and the future plans for Zhuangzi, he participated in too many historical events.

Do your best to change the details of the general trend.

A person cannot openly fight against history, and can only be swallowed up by the torrent of history.

But in this torrent, he still tries his best to change the fate of those around him.

For example, for Li Yuan, his current situation is much better than being imprisoned in Da'an Palace in history.

The emperor did not lose his freedom, and there was no father-son relationship between him and Li Shimin, and there was no resentment between them.

At least, it seems that Li Yuan is living a happy life now.

As for the two who died in Xuanwu Gate, Li Fu had no feelings for them.

He did not have much contact with Li Jiancheng, and even had a feud with Li Yuanji. After the death of these two people, Li Shimin even gave Li Yuanji a bad posthumous title.

"This year, the farmers are living a better life than in previous years. There is a workshop on the farm, the year is good, the harvest is good, and those who raise chickens and ducks at home are also making money. In particular, most of the workers in the workshop are from our farm.

Of course, they are also paid wages. In total, they have made a lot this year. With money in hand, they can have a good year."

"In the future, life on our farm will be better."

"Not only our farm, but also the young and strong laborers in the villages within a dozen miles will benefit from it."

Li Fu was in the ancestral hall, telling about the changes that had taken place in his family this year.

The changes were so great and so many that he couldn't finish talking about them.

But he was still willing to talk about these things.

It should be able to make the dead feel at ease.

Now, don't talk about materialism, believe in science.

It's not so scientific that he appeared here.

"Everything is on track now, but I still dare not slack off." Li Fu said with emotion: "The grain reserves on the farm are not that much, and the granary has not been built yet. After the spring plowing is over next year, we have to build the granary immediately. Otherwise, by then, there will be no ability to resist risks. The court will not be able to take care of it, and how can ordinary people live."

What Li Fu is most concerned about now is the locust plague.

This is a big deal.

As for the workshops on the farm, soy sauce, salt, they are all small things that add icing on the cake, and they can be done anytime.

Now the family is not short of money. The money in the warehouse has piled up into a small mountain, and the workshop still has a steady income. Even if Li Fu throws money out now, it will take a long time.

At a certain point, the speed of spending money cannot keep up with the speed of making money.

"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world. After all, you are a prince of the Tang Dynasty. The Li family's world. At this position, you must shoulder some responsibilities." Li Fu said: "Although it is not very noble, I will do what I can.I think it's pretty good.

He makes money, and it's all the money of the rich, especially the nobles in Chang'an City. The grain in their homes is moldy, and the ropes for stringing copper coins are rotten.

Instead of letting them continue to pile up at home, it's better to give them out, at least he is willing to spend money.

Seeing the people suffering from disasters and starving, he has compassion and will take out food to save the lives of the people, rather than letting the rich live in luxury and the poor freeze to death on the streets.

"So, I've worked so hard, and I don't want you to come to me in the middle of the night when you're unhappy." Li Fu said: "You've done a good job in the past three years, so keep it up next. "

Li Fu had not had any strange nightmares in the past three years. He burned incense and paid tributes on festivals.

He lived a peaceful life.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Li Fu took Lao Zhao and Xiao Tao out of the yard and went to the main hall. Before they could rest, Shitou came back from outside in a hurry.

"My dear, look at this."

Shitou handed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Li Fu.

It's not that the Tang Dynasty did not have paper, but the quality of paper at that time was not so good.

Li Fu took the two pieces of paper and looked at them.

"Huh? Door gods?"

Li Fu recognized them at once.

"Yes, it's the door gods. I saw some people in Chang'an City putting door gods on their doors, so I bought them back." Shitou smiled and said, "Look, among these two door gods, does the one in the middle look like General Yuchi? "

Li Fu took a quick look.

How can this be a resemblance? This is exactly the same.

Isn't this Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong?

"That's it." Li Fu said with a smile, "Do the people put this on the door of their houses?"

"Yes." Shitou nodded seriously, "I asked, and they said that the people now know that General Yuchi and General Qin are guarding the gate for His Majesty. The two generals are guarding the gate of the Tang Dynasty, and the people are the people of the Tang Dynasty. The two generals will naturally protect them."

Li Fu looked at the portrait in his hand.

This... makes sense.

"My dear, do we want to put one on too?" Shitou asked.

"Of course we should put one on, it's a door god." Li Fu replied, "You can put it on the door of my yard. ”

In the past, the door gods were Shen Tu Yu Lei, but now in the Tang Dynasty, the door gods have kept up with the times and have become Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Gong.

Yu Chi Gong's weapon is obviously a horse lance, and Qin Qiong's weapon is not a double mace, he is good at grabbing.

And the Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Gong in the picture are holding double maces and double whips, imitating the appearance of Shen Tu Yu Lei.

In addition, there are long weapons in the portraits of the two.

After hearing what Li Fu said, Lao Zhao smiled and patted Shitou's shoulder.

"Go. "

The gate of the Jingyang Prince's residence is clean and tidy, and there won't be any paintings on it.

The Jingyang Prince is a member of the royal family, and the place where he lives also has some royal majesty. How could he put the portraits of General Qin and General Yuchi on the gate of the prince's residence?

After Shitou left, Lao Zhao thought about talking to Li Fu about the things on the manor.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, this year is also a good year, he thought about asking whether his husband will go back to the manor before the New Year, or stay in Chang'an City for a month or two.

The New Year's Day must be in Chang'an City, not to mention the New Year's Eve, there will also be a big court meeting on the New Year's Day.

"My husband, after the Laba Festival, will you go back to the manor?" Lao Zhao asked.

"Yes, of course I will go back." Li Fu said: "There are still things waiting for me on the manor. ”

He didn’t forget that after the workshop was renovated, he would have to buy a lot of salt and process the coarse salt into refined salt in the workshop.

Li Shimin also took this matter to heart, and he would go to the workshop on the farm to see it in person.

“So, pack up and go back to the farm in two days, but we can’t stay on the farm for long, and we must come back before the New Year’s Day.” Li Fu said: “Also, write a letter to Lao Zhou and purchase a batch of New Year’s goods according to the number of households on the farm, and distribute them after I go back.”

“If you purchase New Year’s goods, one for each household, how much should the cost be controlled?” Lao Zhao asked.

“Kill a few New Year pigs on the farm.” Li Fu said: “Each household will get half a catty of meat, four eggs, and six feet of coarse cloth.”

Lao Zhao quickly calculated the value of these things in his mind.

“My dear, this is not a small amount. "Old Zhao said.

Meat and eggs are easy to deal with, they are just our own things, and their value does not need to be measured by market price.

But this six-foot coarse cloth...

There are many people in the village, especially this year my husband has a fiefdom.

"It doesn't matter." Li Fu said: "We don't need this now.some money. "

"Okay, then I will write a letter to Lao Zhou and send it to the farm in advance so that he can prepare it." Lao Zhao said.

In fact, he felt that they might not be willing to eat the four eggs. If someone knew that the eggs were given as New Year's goods, they might take money to collect them.

In order to make money to live, the farmers might sell the eggs at a low price.

However, since Langjun had spoken, he would not say much.

After the things were distributed, they had no right to control how others dealt with them.

"Okay, go ahead. "Li Fu nodded.

The next day, someone came to the palace, and Li Shimin invited Li Fu to the palace for a chat.

Since Li Yuan moved to Da'an Palace, Li Shimin and his family moved into Taiji Palace.

The East Palace became the residence of the crown prince Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian was still young and temporarily did not live in the East Palace, but in Taiji Palace, which was convenient for supervision and teaching.

When Li Fu entered Liangyi Hall again, it was not Li Yuan inside, but Li Shimin and his ministers.

"Your Majesty." After Li Fu entered the hall, he saluted Li Shimin.

"No need to be polite, stand up and sit down." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Today, I summoned you here to discuss the issue of the reign title. "Li Shimin said: "Now it is the twelfth lunar month, and the Laba Festival has passed. Next year, the Tang Dynasty will use a new reign title. When the emperor ascended the throne, he decided to use Wude as the reign title. Now, I want to govern the world. Obviously, the term Wude is no longer appropriate in peacetime."

Li Fu nodded.

Now, Wude is no longer appropriate.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of God's blessing?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Isn't this appropriate?" Fang Xuan said: "It seems to put the responsibility on God, which cannot show your Majesty's determination to govern the world."

"The God I am referring to is the vast God, the chaotic sky. Do you say it is chaotic? If there is, there is nothing, and if there is nothing, there is. However, all things need to rely on it to protect them. The emperor is given by God, and my Tang Dynasty also needs to rely on such a God to protect it. What's wrong with this?" Changsun Wuji retorted.

"God's blessing? You can use it. "Li Shimin said: "But, I still can't express my thoughts. Xuanling is right. The reign title is a way to express the new policy. Once the reign title is chosen, the people can know the will of the court."

As he said, Li Shimin looked at Li Fu.

"Don't you often hang out in the manor? You know the people best among all of you present." Li Shimin said: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Me?" Li Fu was stunned for a moment.

I still have to express my opinion on the matter of reign title?

It's an honor.

Or, just tell Li Shimin that your reign title is Zhenguan?

Zhenguan Zhizhi?

But what if he asks what it means?

I can't figure it out myself.

This matter...is not easy to deal with.

Li Fu held it in for a long time.

"How about...Republic?"

Reign title Republic?

"How do you say it? "Li Shimin asked.

Republic? Common, peaceful?

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Li lost his power, and the country recommended Gong Bohe to govern until King Xuan was established.

Li Shimin thought of this in his heart.

Emmm, Li Fu thought about it, and he couldn't tell Li Shimin that the republic is a republican democracy, a political system, and the monarch is no longer the highest leader of the country...

Li Shimin dared to chop him on the spot.

Just asked you to discuss the year name, and in the process of discussing, the emperor was discussed?

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the court officials. With all the people of the Tang Dynasty, we will develop together, live in peace, and develop a peaceful, prosperous, and powerful Tang Dynasty." Li Fu bowed and said: "The concept of the republic is that the world is for the public, and it can also show that your majesty governs the world with selflessness. The affairs of the court are also the common affairs of the people of the Tang Dynasty. The governance of the country is a common cause, not just the responsibility of the emperor alone. The court officials, including the people, state officials, and even county magistrates and village heads, must serve the people as their primary responsibility. ”
