Datang Longya

Chapter 407 Little devil?
Li Ke and Concubine Yang are not in the bedroom at this time, but fishing in the Zhen disaster garden.

Zhenji Garden is actually Qujiang Pond. It was originally a royal garden, but it was already half abandoned. In the troubled times of the end of Sui Dynasty, it was desolate for a long time. It will be infinitely delayed.

How many hands can it take to build a college?
In the locust plague last year, while building roads and colleges, Li Shimin also announced the opening of the Qujiang Pond maintenance, and the people who participated in it could exchange food and copper coins for their labor.

Originally Li Shimin's move was criticized by Wei Zheng, but when the project started for a while, even Wei Zheng was confused for a while.

Nobody accuses the emperor of...

At least none of the people blamed the emperor, they were surprisingly calm, went to work on time every day, left work on time, and went home with a smile after receiving the money and food, without any dissatisfaction.

Puzzled, Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask about the situation. He was interviewing an old farmer in his sixties. The old farmer used to be a mason, so the job he got was making mud.

To Old Wei's question, the old farmer replied: "It's a fluke to be able to have work and a full meal in exchange for a disaster right now. What does the emperor have to do with renovating the garden? As long as he gives the old man money and food."

When Wei Zheng asked why the imperial court had to work so hard to get food for the disaster relief food, the old farmer felt that his question was naive.

"The old man has hands and feet, what are you doing with the relief food? Not long after our Tang Dynasty was established, His Majesty the Emperor has repeatedly reduced taxes for our farmers, especially the refugees, and some are exempt from taxes. Three years. After this, how much food can he have? The food is for those who can't do the work, and the old man can still do the work, so he doesn't have the cheek to get it."

After speaking, he still disliked Wei Zheng for delaying his work and drove him away.

When Wei Zheng told this matter in the court, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty flattered Li Shimin.

An emperor who can understand the sufferings of the people in the world is a good emperor, but what about the one who can make the people in the world take the initiative to understand the court?

Ever since, Qujiang Pond changed the name of "Zhen Disaster Garden" under the emperor's brain twitch, expressing that he would remember this disaster and use it as a warning to future generations.

The mother and son are not so much fishing as they are killing time. Both fishing baskets are empty, and it seems that they have not gained anything.

On Concubine Yang's shoulders was a fox fur shawl, either red fox fur, snow fox fur, or pure miscellaneous fur fox fur.

However, this piece of skin was picked off by a fox that Li Ke personally hunted.

He didn't ask Leng Feng for the polar bear's skin like Li Tai did, he just gave this fox skin to his mother and concubine as a gift brought back from the north.Concubine Yang didn't dislike the mixed fur of this fox, so she directly made it into a shawl.

The mother and son were both low-key and in a mess.

Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. This is not the point. The point is that she is really bubbling in beauty, and the hat of "the most beautiful woman in the world" is not for nothing.To be honest, even Empress Changsun seemed a little inferior next to her.

This means that Empress Changsun can live happily when she is the head of the harem. If it were someone like Wu Zetian or Empress Lu, who would go to find her in a mass grave?

Li Ke is the same, his blood is the original sin, many veterans of the Sui Dynasty will unconsciously get close to him, if he wants to fight for the crown prince, he must have many followers.

Although he will have followers, he is destined to be impossible to succeed, so over the years, Concubine Yang and Li Ke have kept a low profile as much as possible and rarely showed their faces.

Seeing Leng Feng and brother Li Chengqian approaching, Concubine Yang hurriedly called Li Ke to stand up, and the mother and son saluted Leng Feng together.

Leng Feng nodded, expressing that he was honored by Concubine Yang, and said to Li Ke: "I should have allowed you to spend more time with your mother, but old Mr. Han urged me to quickly write a biography of my experience going north and compile it in Zhenguan. Go to the encyclopedia. He is afraid that I will forget it for a long time, and it will take too much time for me to write alone. No, I want to drag all three of your brothers to work, and now you are the only one missing."

A disciple works for the master, that's what he deserves, Concubine Yang said with a smile: "Ke'er has lived here for a long time, and she has become more disciplined, and it's time to leave the palace with you."

Now she is very grateful for her behavior of sending Li Ke to Leng Feng's family, not to mention that the child who was a bit dull before has become sunny and cheerful, even if she reaps the brotherhood of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, that is an immeasurable benefit.

After going through two dynasties, she has seen through it. The emperor's position is really not a good thing. Now she only hopes that her children can live a peaceful life.

Li Ke nodded: "It's time to go out of the palace too. By the way, Master, I went out of the palace to pick up things from the Academy of Arts yesterday. I heard from Tang Jin that there were many Dongying people in Chang'an City. They set up signs everywhere to challenge the rangers in our city." , I heard that there are many wins."

"People from Japan? Little devil?"

Hehe, it's very strange. It's not easy to meet Dongying people at this time. Datang's shipbuilding industry is backward, and Dongying is the same.To be able to come to Datang from their small islands, it would be fine if they borrowed the way from Silla Baekje, but if they came across the East China Sea, tsk tsk tsk, that would be really lucky.

"Set up a table to challenge the Rangers? Is it to show off their strength?"

Li Ke shook his head: "Then I don't know, their challenge platforms are everywhere, even at the intersection to the Academy of Arts."

"There are also there?"

This is not quite right, occupying a platform at the intersection of the Wenyuan, obviously pointing directly at the Wenyuan, it is absolutely impossible to say that these people are not instructed.

The Dongying people were very active in the Tang Dynasty, and often sent Tang envoys here, but that was more than ten years later. Why did such an obvious group appear in the Tang Dynasty at this time?
Not quite right.

Thinking of this, Leng Feng smiled apologetically at Concubine Yang, and patted Li Ke on the head: "Lead the way, I'll go and see what their Japanese warriors are up to."

If they are not a group, then it is not a big deal, the Japanese, fierce fighting is the essence, the gene of arrogance is inherited from their ancestors.

But if it is a group, tsk tsk tsk, that would be a bit interesting, they should have established contact with Datang more than ten years later, if it is so many years earlier, what is the reason?

The four masters and apprentices rode a horse each without taking a carriage, and under the escort of the guards, they drove straight to the intersection of Chang'an and Wenyuan.
