Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 141 Defending the Family and the Country
"Haha!" Li Yuan laughed and patted Feng Daiwen on the shoulder.

"Grandfather, there are Long Yanxiang and various agarwoods offered by Fanbang on board, and they will be sent to the palace for you later." Feng Daiwen said to Li Yuan respectfully.

"Okay, okay, I'm just here to come and see you, you go and get busy, I'm back to the palace." Li Yuan led his people away contentedly.

After Li Yuan left, Feng An also said something and took Feng Daizhi away, because he knew that Feng Daiwen would go to the palace again, and he would not have time to go home for a while.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where are our presents?" Chang Le walked over with Yuzhang, looking at Feng Daiwen with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, there are. There are many jewelry made of gold, silver and jewelry on the ship. They are for the empress and you. Let someone take them back." Feng Daiwen looked at Chang Le, who was still so weak after not seeing him for a few months, and Chang Le, who had become more charming. Yuzhang said warmly.

"Thank you brother-in-law," the two said in unison, and then asked the guards to move the jewelry.

Feng Daiwen asked the animal trainer to bring the parrot over and said, "This is for Guang'an, take it back and play with it."

"Wow! What a beautiful parrot!" Chang Le exclaimed happily, his eyebrows turned into a crescent moon.

"Auspicious princess! Auspicious princess!" The two parrots kept calling.This was specially taught by Feng Daiwen by the animal trainer. Currently, only two of them have learned to speak.

"Ah! So cute!" Yuzhang was so cute that he took over the birdcage and kept teasing him.

"Brother-in-law, what about us?" Li Tai saw that other people had fun, so he couldn't help wanting it too, after all, they were still young.

"Hey, of course!" Feng Daiwen has long been prepared. Later generations will go out to visit friends, and they will habitually bring gifts when they go home. This is also a Chinese tradition.As he spoke, he took out a few pairs of sunglasses polished with black crystals and inlaid in gold frames.This is Feng Daiwen who found black spar when he was bored looking at treasures at sea, and then asked craftsmen to make it.It's just that the light transmission is not very good. You can wear it to look at the sun directly, but you can see it clearly when you wear it outside in summer.

Feng Daiwen put on a pair of glasses first, then took out a folding fan and opened it with a "swipe", shaking it in his hand, there was a huge "Feng" character on the fan.

Although Feng Daiwen himself was not considered handsome, he was still handsome. It was hot in summer, and he was wearing a scholar's shirt, sunglasses, and a folding fan. He was simply a romantic talent.

"Handsome!" Li Tai happily took a pair of sunglasses and put them on, looking around curiously.Turning around, he asked again: "Brother-in-law, do you still have a fan, give me one."

Feng Daiwen gave Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Fang Yiai a pair of sunglasses, rolled his eyes, took a folding fan and handed it to Li Tai.

Li Tai took the fan happily, without looking at it, raised his head and chest, put one hand behind his back, waving the fan with the other, walking back and forth.

"Haha, haha," everyone suddenly laughed.

Li Tai didn't know why at first, so everyone looked at him and asked with a puzzled smile, "What's the matter?"

"Fourth brother, elder brother knows you are handsome, but you don't need to be so ostentatious," Li Chengqian said with a big smile.

The second monk Li Taizhang couldn't figure it out until Li Ke pointed at his pocket expressionlessly, then looked at the fan. It turned out that the fan had "No. "Can't help but look at this bad brother-in-law with black lines all over his head.

This made the others couldn't help but laugh even more.

Feng Daiwen pretended he didn't know, so after making arrangements, he said that he was going to enter the palace, and the others followed suit.

"Go! Go! It's too hot outside." Chang Le hurriedly urged when he heard that he was going back.

Feng Daiwen was very moved when he heard this, and everyone came to welcome him in such hot weather.

……

When I entered the palace, Li Shimin was still reviewing the memorials that I could never finish reading.

Li Shimin waited for Feng Daiwen to sit down and said with a smile, "Now that there are ice cubes made of saltpeter, the summer is finally not uncomfortable. This is all thanks to you, Weiguo."

Seeing Li Shimin's weary look, Feng Daiwen shook his head secretly and said, "The sage deserves the award, it's a trivial matter, I dare not take credit for it."

"There was a severe drought in Hebei, and the people had no crops. In the severe drought in Shandong, after soldiers led people to dig wells, they could still harvest three layers. What is rare is that no one died in the face of such a disaster in the two places, and no one made trouble. Thanks to the love Only Qing's suggestion can go so smoothly." Li Shimin said happily.If we follow the usual practice and just send people to relieve the disaster, regardless of the cost, a disaster with such a wide impact will lead to chaos, and death is even more normal.This time not only did not cause a crisis, but also gained a lot of fame, so Li Shimin was grateful.

"This is because the Holy Majesty has arranged it properly, and everyone is working together, and it has nothing to do with the humble minister." Feng Daiwen smiled.

Li Shimin likes Feng Daiwen the most. He is never greedy for merit, and those who have credit are those who can push. He got up and moved, walked to Feng Daiwen, sat down with him, and sighed: "It rained in Hebei early last month, and the drought is over. I just received the news from Shandong the day before yesterday. It also rained. Although the two places were affected by disasters, they took this opportunity to repair the water conservancy in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Guanzhong. Even if there is the same drought in the coming year, the floods will not have much impact."

"The sage is benevolent and sympathetic to the people's sentiments. This is the blessing of the people of the world." Feng Daiwen smiled sincerely.

"Haha, it's all due to Ai Qing's credit. Although the tens of thousands of soldiers who have been streamlined have paid their salaries, they have indeed worked hard this time, and the people are full of praise. Moreover, because of the salaries, the soldiers' families have not been affected." Li Shimin laughed loudly. Smiling, he took out a few Wanmin books for Feng Daiwen to read.

"In troubled times, soldiers are bandits, and bandits are also soldiers. This makes the people feel disgusted with soldiers. It is not a last resort and they don't want their children and grandchildren to serve as soldiers. As long as our Tang Dynasty can be a family of soldiers and civilians, the world will be invincible." Feng Daiwen Thinking of the later Taizu, he said with emotion.

"Yes, in troubled times, soldiers go up the mountain to be bandits, and downhill are soldiers. Soldiers will rob, and bandits will also rob. No wonder the people are afraid when they see soldiers. There are indeed countless benefits for soldiers to be like soldiers and civilians, but how to do it? You can't let Soldiers, let’s help out.” Li Shimin also saw the great benefits of the professional recruitment system.

"It's easy to handle, but it's a long-term process. It doesn't happen in a day. Defending the country is the bounden duty of soldiers. This defense of the country is not only against foreign countries, but also in disaster relief. Whether it's an earthquake or a flood, soldiers They should be on the front line instead of waiting for relief after the event. As for the local soldiers, they have even more responsibilities. They not only have to protect the place, teach the people, but also help the widows and the widows. Family." Feng Daiwen explained.

"Okay, well said. Not only are the words reasonable, but also there are specific measures. It is really rare. I will immediately order the Ministry of War to handle it." Li Shimin applauded and praised Feng Daiwen. .
