The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chang'an City

Today is a day for congratulations from various countries. It has been nearly a month since envoys from various countries arrived. In the past, this month was the most troublesome time for officials in Chang'an City. It is a very happy thing for all countries to come to congratulate them, but envoys from various countries have arrived. The minister's entourage is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I am afraid that Chang'an City will be in a state of chaos this month.

However, in order to show the great power of the Tang Dynasty, even if some foreigners made mistakes, the major yamen in Chang'an City would turn a blind eye and try to let them go and pull them down. Therefore, the people of Chang'an City were miserable. .

But in the past month, there have not been many security incidents on the streets. On the contrary, people from all over the world who come to Chang'an City are very honest. Even the notoriously prickly people are now treated honestly. In the guild hall, I was very careful when I went out to buy things, lest I get into disputes with the people of Tang Dynasty.

"These guys are from the Western Regions. I remember a few years ago they didn't give me any money when they bought things during the Chao He Festival. Finally, they made trouble to the Chang'an County Government. They were also reasonable. But this year they were a lot more honest. They paid for whatever they said. , not even a counter-offer.”

An old man happily runs his own sesame cake stall. There are too many people in Chang'an City these days, and he has to sell five to six hundred sesame cakes every day. This is much more than before. In the past, he could sell more than five hundred sesame cakes. Selling three hundred sesame cakes is already quite good. These foreigners have big appetites and they don't cook, which in disguise has prospered the economy of Chang'an City.

"Isn't this all the credit of His Highness Taisun? In the past few years, His Highness first defeated Tuyuhun, and then although Tubo did not say it was our vassal state, this time during the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, Tubo The country also sent troops to fight, and now Goguryeo has fallen again. Those foreigners are not fools. If something happens in Chang'an City and our Highness is targeted, their king will probably behead him. .”

The guy at the clothes shop next to me had just unpacked the clothes and didn't buy them yet. The business hasn't come yet, so I chatted with the stalls on the street. Their business has been good these days. Many foreigners come here to buy silk. Although the shopkeeper They raised the price by 30%, but they still couldn't stop these people from buying.

"You are young, so you are right to the point. I have heard that Goguryeo has divided all the land in the country. His Highness the land in Jiangbei has been taken by himself. The land in Jiangnan seems to have begun to be divided... …”

The old man thought of another thing. He has four sons, but the whole family only has ten acres of thin farmland. It is not a problem to feed and drink the whole family. The old man wants to marry a daughter-in-law, but the other party wants a betrothal gift of five acres of land. , if it is given out, then the food and drink of the whole family will become a problem.

What's more, there are only these ten acres of land. If these five acres of land are given to the boss as a betrothal gift, what will happen to the remaining three sons? The third and fourth children are still young and are currently attending the imperial court's free school. They have to be old enough to marry a wife. The second child is now seventeen and will soon have a wife, who is younger than his brother. One year old.

"I said, Old Man Liu, your news is out of date a long time ago. I just passed by the Chang'an County Government Office. Our Chang'an City has been allocated a total of more than 10,000 places. Now half of the people have signed up. If you have any ideas, hurry up. Let your second son sign up, otherwise there will be no chance. There is not much land in Goguryeo, and there are too many people who want to go there."

Blacksmith Wang, a blacksmith, signed up his younger son. Seeing that his younger son couldn't survive in Chang'an City, the iron shop had to be handed over to his older son, so the younger son planned to take the whole family there to have a look. That is one hundred acres of land. If it is managed well, it will be enough for my younger son to settle there.

According to the policy of the imperial court, if you give birth to a child there, you can immediately get ten acres of land. If you take the child there, you can get twenty acres of land. When the child turns eighteen, the family will be separated. When the time comes, I will make up for the eighty acres of land for you. This is not a small number.

"Shuanzi, give me some support."

Old man Liu couldn't sit still when he heard this. Although today's business was good, he had to get his younger son to sign up quickly. If there were no more places, even if you dared to go to the local area to make a living, you wouldn't be able to get a share. For your brother, the court has made it clear that it will only be divided into this group. If you go there again in the future, at most it will give you some tax-free treatment.

When Old Man Liu returned home, the old lady at home was wiping her tears. When he asked, he found out that his second son had gone behind their backs to sign up and had already passed the court's physical examination. The court did not say that everyone must be in good shape. Only those who are strong and strong will do. After all, it will be a half-military and half-civilian state. If anything happens, you must help the Tang army, so as long as you are in good health.

"What do you look like crying? If these four sons stay at home, how do you think we will live in the future? The eldest daughter-in-law wants five acres of land, and it is about to close down. Next year, we will talk about the younger daughter-in-law. This is another five acres of land. Are the third and fourth sons going to drink the northwest wind?"

Although Old Man Liu was reluctant to let go of his second son, he really couldn't survive at home, so he had no choice but to let his second son go there to try his luck.

"Dad, that's Goguryeo. Didn't you hear what the people in the court said? The people there are very ferocious. When the emperor went to the Eastern Expedition, many people died there. Our son is an honest and honest person. Farmer, if he encounters those vicious people, how will he deal with them?"

Thinking of the rumors in the room outside, the old woman's heart beat suddenly. Each of the four sons was a thorn in her side. Now that the second son was allowed to go and wander, she felt a little scared inside.

The old man was a little panicked when he heard this. He used to make a living, but if he couldn't make a living and risked his life, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Qian family. Don't give away a white-haired person to a black-haired person. .

"Mom, don't worry. I'm going to go there with my second brother. We two brothers usually fight outside. Three or five people are no match for our two brothers. Now my eldest brother can't even beat me when we wrestle."

While the old couple were talking, the four sons of the family walked in from outside. Judging from the body shape, the second and third sons were indeed very strong, but the eldest son looked a little thin...
