Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Sending off the God of Plague

We, the older generation, can't get used to the deteriorating world.Li Shi agrees with me on this point.He said that he went hunting and went with the emperor, it was a great sense of face.It only said that he arrived on his back foot, and we just left on our front foot.Did not meet.When I was thinking about it, when I heard that there was such auspiciousness in the royal hunting ground, this time in Chang'an, I rushed to see it.Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is the season of friendship and affection.We are old acquaintances, and there are topics to talk about wherever we sit.It's a joy to talk about things that don't have a name.When it comes to interesting things, the old zombies made a big fuss in the yamen of the household department.Li Shi laughed so hard,

"Brother Li, have you walked the night road?" Pointing to the takin behind the fence, "My brother and I met face to face. I was nervous, but I didn't have the slightest fear. Thinking about it, my brother is stupid and bold. But if On the road, it would be scary to pretend that the takin was the old man in front of the previous household department. Then don’t move, just jump over.”

Li Shihuang waved his hand and pointed at me with a smile, "This is not nonsense. The old man has had a stroke for many years. It would be hell if he could walk his legs. No one dares to offend. There are people who scold the emperor in front of the Shunde gate, and those who scold the old man." , is already dead without a whole body.”

"That's right. I don't know what the imperial court thinks. Don't offend whoever offends them. A few small coins, a few fake brochures. From the bottom of my heart, Brother Li probably has a few acres of land in Longyou?" He said, Standing up and dusting off the dust on his body, he made a gesture of invitation to Li Shi, "Clean is clean, but the smell is too strong. My little brother accompanied Brother Li for a walk on Zhuangzi. The flowers are blooming and the willows are green. It's the season to see the scenery."

Li Shi nodded.Walking around the lotus pond one after the other, the flower buds full of the pond swayed in the wind, flocks of ducks planted fiercely into the water, picked up fish and shrimps to eat, not afraid of people, swam under their feet, and flapped their wings.The two of them were covered in water.

The living objects aroused Li Shi's interest.He squatted by the pool, rolled up his cuffs, and reached out to dip a few times in the water. The word 'good' was written on his face, with a comfortable look.

"Small places and small decorations." Tore off a lotus leaf and threw it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged by the pond, "Chang'an City is getting bigger and bigger. In a few years, I don't know what it will be like. Want to Adapt to the situation. Look for a farm, or come here with my younger brother. There are many good places in the city, but they are all fake. The money is piled up on the ground."

Li Shi nodded, "This is the truth. A good place should be a good price. Only when you come to the Wang family's Zhuangzi, you feel fresh. Counting now, there are really few places where you can be pure."

"Dad~" Jiu Jin left school, took a group of 'soldiers', and walked along the slope.Shout and run.The schoolbag and kite were hanging on the back like a fan, and I didn't step firmly, and it came to me with a bang.

"You're playing Hot Wheels?" Jiujin pulled it up and patted it up and down a few times, "Meet you soon, Uncle Li."

This is the ceremony.The dolls all came over.Those who threw schoolbags threw schoolbags, those who took off their clothes took off their clothes, and sat down in the lotus pit, rolling in mud.Just toss away.From top to bottom in this Zhuangzi, there are quite a few people who know me, but none who are afraid of me.It was annoyed to be covered in muddy water.Pointing at the bare butt in the pond and cursing a few times, he turned around and picked up a large pebble, and threw it into the pond forcefully.The muddy water splashed made the stinky child stumble.Pull over Li Shi. "withdraw!"

"Brother Li is laughing. The stinky child is not disciplined, and the eldest of my family is also wild."

"Very good." Only then did I realize that Li Shi was also clutching a pebble in his hand. He was afraid that he wanted to imitate me and throw it down, but he didn't have time to do it.Li Shi looked embarrassed, threw the pebble far away, and laughed at himself: "This man, he has been dead for a long time. He just got a childlike innocence. He was pulled away by Zihao."

"Don't, it's much more fun to play before." He walked across the ridge in three or two steps.He picked up a lump of mud and threw it into the woods.Crowds of sparrows Wuyang Wuyang rushed to the sky.It was so dense that it felt like the wind was blowing out from the little wings.Li Shi clapped the dirt on his hands boredly, leaned against a big rock with him, and said with a smile, "Zihao lives a leisurely life."

"Fake. To be honest, how much leisure is just pretending to be seen by others, and the ass can't be wiped clean." He took out a few raw chestnuts from his arms, handed them to Li Shi, and the two of them peeled them clumsily.

"Raw chestnuts, don't be greedy. If there are too many chestnuts, you will have a stomachache." Li Shibian explained to me that he stuffed them into his mouth without peeling the skin himself.Praises while eating: "I kept it last autumn until now, half a year has passed, and it is still fresh. It's rare."

"I can save a lot." This is not uncommon in the Wang family. Since the three productions in the village are booming, chestnuts, pomegranates, including lotus root and water chestnuts, are brought with mud. When to eat and when to take it, I didn't say that the taste has changed.Especially the Yun family, who were greedy enough to empty out the bottom of the house.A penny of lotus root is hidden on the head of spring, and you dare to sell it for ten pennies with a shy face.Over the years, she has given her family a lot of property.

Ying can't understand it.There is a gentleman in agriculture who is afraid of advice in everything, especially Ying, who is rich and unconvinced, under the guidance of experts, he pulled out the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang along the slopes along the bricks and tiles.My God, when it was completed, my father and son went down and walked around.Those who went down in the morning didn't come out at noon, so they had to eat lunch inside.I knew that the horse was coming.

Li Shi pointed at me and smiled, "That's beyond the limit. So, if you stuff it in the cellar, you can keep it fresh?"

She smirked, "My little brother is a foodie. He doesn't know anything. He eats fresh ones, and eats fresh ones." As he spoke, he took out two more walnuts from his pocket, one for each person.Pick up a stone and break it open, eat politely, "Good stuff, nourish your brain."

Li Shi looked like a careful person, unlike me, who smashed a brick into pieces.He used ingenuity to knock along the edge little by little, and it would be whole once he peeled it off.He said with a smile, "Today I'm here to satisfy my hunger. Just take out as many things as Zihao still has in his pocket, don't arrange them one by one."

wow——

He fell to the ground with his pocket open.As people get older, they need to be nourished more.Supplements for the kidney and brain are carried with you everywhere, and you can supplement them when you need them.For example, there are some red dates to strengthen yang.

It's quite an interesting thing, the two big men are lying on the ground, chatting while eating.For a while it is the Yun family, for a while it is Xie Bao, for a while it is how bad the royal garden is, and for a while it is how good the Longyou land is planted with cotton.

"Whether it's good or not, we have to go for a few more years to see." Li Shibo remained calm and broke open a half-pulled pomegranate.The seeds were scattered all over the ground, "I didn't understand it before, and the imperial court didn't have the energy to take care of it. After passing the Yinshan Mountain, it was completely barren. Now, there are so many fertile fields suddenly, and those who go there first don't care, and those who want to enclose the land later, the imperial court There should be a point.”

"The land is huge." I didn't think so, spit out a date pit, and carved the outline of Longyou on the ground, "The land reclamation now, logically speaking, is just the beginning. Can it support people, can it be popular? , it depends on the production in the field. It is a good thing for the imperial court to plan for a rainy day. It should not be too fussy. It is not at ease to say it now, but it is because in the past they were all big families and dignitaries. But without these people, ordinary people would not have a whole family The geography of migratory barren lands is nothing but a primer."

Li Shi did not deny it.He raised his head and asked, "How big is the Wang family's territory in Longyou?"

Laughing, I did an arithmetic problem on the ground first, and it seemed that the calculation was not correct, "Brother Li, to tell the truth. When enclosing the land, I didn't dare to circle more. I rode my horse carefully and ran for a day. The horse is not good, don't use a fast horse There are people who run for a few days. It can be said that it is greedy. Now that the land has not been cultivated, half-cooked and half-cooked, where can I get the manpower. That's it. The imperial court gave up the head, who dares to buy labor. Buy If there are too many people, there will be too many gossips. If you buy less land, it will not be used by people. The atmosphere of waiting and watching is strong. Don’t miss the spring sowing.”

Li Shi nodded, "Today I'm here to talk to Zihao. I also secretly acquired a few properties there, but I can't deal with them. The key is where the labor comes from."

He looked up at Li Shi and thought for a while.Organize your wording. "Border people. I can't say it on the table. I have come from all over the world. I have all kinds of backgrounds. It's good to go to Longyou. When I'm full, I'm just working hard. Speaking of it, it's better than staying at home. many."

Li Shi didn't raise his head, touched his waist, and stared at a water chestnut, as if it was carved out of a flower. "So, they are all refugees from outside Xinjiang, come to my Datang to live and clothe?"

"I'm afraid it's... not all of them. Turkic people, Tie Le people, beggars, poor families and broken families, all ran to Longyou."

"So, it's all voluntary?"

"I'm afraid not." Hehe smirked twice, "There must be one or two."

Following me, Li Shi also laughed, "I'm afraid it's not true. Zihao is proficient in arithmetic. If one person takes care of ten acres of land, how many people are needed to fill Longyou? If my calculation is not bad, the whole It’s not enough for all the Tubo people to move down, right?”

"Tubo people are not durable." He said without looking up, and then he slipped his tongue, and quickly turned around, "It's so stupid."

Li Shi waved his hands with a smile, "Why did I hear that Tibetans die quickly?"

"That is, the climate is not acclimatized. There is a doctor to take care of it. The doctor who was sent by my family has been enshrined for three generations. Human life is at stake. You can't treat it as a human being just because it is labor."

"That's right." Li Shi nodded, "But it's not a solution after all. If you want to make money, you must have connections. If you want connections, you must have people's hearts. Now you can make up the number by pulling and pulling, but pulling and pulling How many days is the head? It is said that people in Tang Dynasty are tyrannical. It is a bitter word. But who knows, they live better here than in their hometown." Li Shi stood up and bent back and forth, "But After all, when there are too many people, there are many things to do. Leaving the country has the hardships of leaving the country, and there is no reason not to let people complain. After farming, you have taken root. It is hard work to raise other people's land as your own. If you say this When I come back, how much land and how many people will be raised is a definite number. If I can really tell the difference between the inside and the outside, everyone will make sense and give them the title of Tang people, and the descendants and grandchildren will live in Longyou for generations. It's a good thing. It's also a good thing with the court. Why not do it?"

The truth of the words is right, but I don't like it.The court is done, labor is done, what about my royal family?You save time and people, you Guanyin Bodhisattva, but your merciful and compassionate scissors will break Lao Tzu's foundation.This is not acceptable.But we can't say no, but it's hard to organize.Then just stop talking.

"Tell me, Zihao." Li Shi didn't intend to let me go.Very winkingly pursued for advice.

"I can't say. The court is good, the people are good. The people are good." Rubbing his hands, he grinned, "Everyone is good, everyone is good."

"It seems that Zihao has an idea?" Li Shirao stared at me with interest, smiling and waiting for me to finish.

"Actually, the court was right, and the reasoning was right. But the timing was wrong. As early as at that time, the land reclamation was established, and no one thought it would be like this. No wonder I didn't think clearly at the time. And the rich and powerful families came to Long Going to the right, most of them have the idea of ​​serving the country. After passing the Yinshan Mountain, and going forward for thousands of miles, to be honest, I don’t know what the future will be. The money invested is about the benefits But at that time, at least my younger brother didn’t feel distressed at all. What I said was my Tang Dynasty, and what I thought was also my Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the money that the family can take out. It’s really bankrupt, as long as the court can fall. , My prince is proud and has no regrets." After speaking, he felt a pain in his tongue.This lie makes me blush thinking about it.It's just the right time for God to strike me with lightning, and I will never stand under the dark clouds in the future.

Li Shi didn't say a word, held his breath and didn't know what to think, he peeled a chestnut and handed it to me.

"Now, it's paid off. I don't have the anxiety I had before. Roll up my sleeves and prepare to work hard. No one will spare the little money. This wasteland, an extra acre is an acre; this popularity, one more It is one. Regardless of labor, as long as you come to Longyou. Even if it is illegal and illegal, it is really treated as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. The climate is not acclimatized, it is an epidemic. But even Mr. Cheng The old generals who climbed out of the pile of dead people all saw it and were anxious in their hearts. They were picky and decisive. Speaking of the countless famous doctors in Chang'an, Zhou Gongfeng, who belongs to my Wang family, is the most respectful and dedicated. He co-authored five or six doctors. I recommended Doctor Zhou, and I just left Beijing yesterday. Guanglongyou didn’t have any herbs, so he brought seven or eight carts there. Before leaving, Doctor Zhou swore in front of me that if he couldn’t cure people in Longyou, Get well, and die of old age and never return to the capital." He said.I also laughed, "Brother Li, do you believe it?"

Li Shi nodded with a smile, "Believe it or not, this sounds good."

In a word, the tension dissipated.I stuffed a handful of dried fruit into my mouth with a shameless face, and wanted to sigh, almost choking myself. "I didn't mean to deceive Brother Li. I didn't even intend to deceive the court. But I had to work hard. If I thought about it a lot, I didn't know what to do. If it's really a place to compile books, there must be a big plan. That's right. You have to have a long-term vision, and you can't think of where to go. Always panic, it's counterproductive."

Li Shisuo simply sat down on the ground, "I just wanted to plan, so I just came to find Zihao today. Don't talk about benevolence and virtue, it's all empty talk. Building the country and loving the people, if you talk too much, it becomes a joke. What's going on right now? manage."

"Then how should I put it. Now that the country is stable and the Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, I can't tell what kind of world it is outside. There will always be someone who will come. If you arrest him, he will come; if you don't arrest him, he will have to come if you don't arrest him. My people of the Tang Dynasty will become my people of the Tang Dynasty? Why? He will come if he is well today, and he will leave if it is not good tomorrow. All of them will become white-eyed wolves. Then what are we trying to do?"

Li Shi smiled, affirmed with reservations.

I have nothing to fear, an honest man tells the truth, he affirms with reservations, and I have reservations to be honest. "It can't be said that there was no plan ahead. Let's raise the knife to chop off the tail." Pointing to the newly planted forest next to it, "The tree is planted for good materials. It can't be said that if it grows crooked, just cut it down. Of course, if it grows If it is too crooked, it will be punished. But when there is room for change, it is better to have a correction."

Li Shi laughed a little bit sleepily, "Zihao should just say it straight."

"I don't know much about talking nonsense." As he spoke, he cleared himself up first, "First of all, you can come and stay if you want, you have to have time, you have to have a position, and you have to make a contribution. Right? ?”

Li Shi nodded.

"Three years, three years a stage. How many acres of land you have to open in these three years, you have to learn to communicate with the people of my Tang Dynasty. Only then can you be qualified to talk about whether you can get my household registration in the Tang Dynasty. You can also withdraw it. If there is an outstanding contribution, for example, anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities have opened black dens, rescued children who fell into the water, etc. Of course, if there are some inventions and creations that benefit the country and the people, we are happy to receive them. Talents must be treated equally.” This said , the idea opened instead.It's interesting to do this, no matter whether you get the household registration or not, I will use you for three years first, and then I will talk about it. If you don't pay wages for three years, you can recover some of the cost. "Speaking of it, isn't three years too little? You can add some other conditions, such as a three-year trial period. After three years, you will open ten acres of land and pay nine acres to the state. What kind of rewards will the state use to stimulate the land?" They cultivated land. After seven or eight years, they can register in the state capital. In other words, after seventeen or eighteen years, they can bring another family member from their hometown to become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, three or fifty years later ..."

"Three to 50 years is a bit unreasonable. Three years is reasonable. If someone looks at the money, we hang him with money; if someone looks at the land, we hang him with the land. In short, work first and then talk." Li Shixue He clapped his hands and laughed in my tone, "Thank you for thinking it out. Just perfunctory like this, whether you want to say it or not, it's all the same reasoning. If you really pay attention... Zihao really doesn't show his face." Saying that, Zao Ah, chestnuts, I picked up a few and put them in my pocket, and they took me for a full day of spring.With a sore back and back pain, he went back with a happy face.

That's okay, I really like chatting with Li Shi like this, although I'm a little tired...I'm most afraid of being tired.But after only a few days of leisure, tiring work came.
