Section 124 The result of the lack of grass and water is to send troops
In the grassland in May, everything revives, wild flowers fly wildly, and birds also run around, looking for last year's dead branches and leaves to interweave their nests and prepare to lay eggs, but the people in Songzhou are wandering around like starving ghosts.
I ran around to buy something that many places still have a lot of surplus, that is, food. Many people said that people in Songzhou were starving to death, so they stocked food like this. The environment last year was good.
Last year, everyone harvested a lot of food, but they didn’t seem to care about many things in Songzhou. If there was food, they would buy it back. In some of the more remote places in Songzhou, someone would have designed some large and spacious houses.
Granary, the weather there is cold, even in summer the temperature is not high. If possible, it would be good to set up some summer resorts, but Ye Tan turned it into a granary.
The rain in the grassland seems to be good this year. The wild grass on the ground is very long, which is very suitable for grazing. However, when some children come back from outside, they always wear some small grasshoppers through the long grass and come back to eat snacks. This thing is from Fanlong Academy.
A few children made it, and it is said to taste very good, and because many people did eat these things in the countryside in the past, no one cared much about it.
However, what they didn't know was that in the second year of Zhenguan, something happened that drove Li Shimin crazy. A total of twenty-seven states suffered from drought and locusts filled the ground.
Some people may say, since Ye Tan knew, why didn't he tell him in advance?
How should I put it? To say such a thing is to be treasonous and unethical. And can you really say it clearly?
You don’t think that you are truly invincible and not afraid of death.
Although Ye Tan was busy in Songzhou, things in the world were still very troublesome, and various rebellions continued. After all, Li Jiancheng was still very popular at the time. However, because of this, Li Shimin's generals began to dispatch each other to put out fires everywhere.
In this way, the people under his command began to have more troops and control. For example, Cheng Yaojin went to the vicinity of Longyou. The Qiang people there began to be dishonest and blocked the transportation of some salt. Changsun
Wuji was also sent out to prevent some less obedient clans from causing chaos. Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, etc. also went out, and some strange generals also went out one after another. This was an excellent opportunity.
Only Li Chengqian was thinking about how to hoard food.
He didn't believe those warlocks, or Yuan Tiangang and others, but believed Ye Tan, because he had never lied to him since they met.
In the second year of Zhenguan, apart from the drought, the most terrifying thing was the Weishui Alliance.
Ye Tan originally thought that this matter would never happen, which was why he was reluctant to go to the capital in the first place. Historically, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, only a month or two later, they came, but this time
I don’t know why, but he didn’t come. There were no soldiers at that time. Li Shimin could only take a few people there, kill the white horse, and let Jieli Khan retreat. But he didn’t expect that, and I don’t know why, they didn’t come.
.
Many years later, Ye Tan realized that it had something to do with the quarrel between him and that Si Ye Huba. At that time, Li Shimin was taking sides, so this guy actually ran back and said something that made his father go crazy. He said what was it?
, the military force of the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and I had already found out that Li Shimin had already controlled the troops. The Tang Dynasty had more than 600,000 troops at that time. If they were all pulled over, it would be very troublesome.
But when Ye Tan was busy working in Songzhou, something happened, because nothing could withstand the greatness of being hungry.
The words for trouble appear on two of them: grass and water.
I don’t know why. There is water and grass and flowers in the southwest of Datang, but the location of Turks in the north is terrible. It didn’t rain at all after the New Year. It should have rained. Now I feel depressed.
There was no rain, and although the air-conditioning dropped last year, there were not many snowflakes on the grasslands. So after spring started, there was not much grass in the Turkic grasslands, so cattle and sheep began to starve to death.
At the same time, the Turkic Khan and others reacted and remembered that the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and it was not completely established yet. According to our past agreement, I have to come and visit you.
As a result, the whole world was shocked again, because this time the Turks took the same route as in history. They went south to attack Jingzhou and then advanced all the way to Wugong. Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was threatened and Chang'an city was under martial law.
For a time, there were many people who were angry and many people who were afraid. On the one hand, Li Shimin asked the armies from all over the country to come to serve the king, and on the other hand, he was considering sending the children out. For example, Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian directly told Li Shimin, either, let him
I go to the battlefield, or else, stay in Chang'an with my father and let me escape. How will I be the prince and the emperor in the future? How will everyone see me in the future? Can I still live between heaven and earth?
Although Li Shimin slapped Li Shimin twice angrily, his eyes were filled with relief. Empress Changsun also followed Li Shimin in armor. Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi didn't care at all, because Ye Tan had told them about such problems in the past.
How big of a deal it will be, you think Datang really can't defeat it, it's just a trap.
It's just that messy things also happened in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty. At such times, there will always be people who are willing to cause trouble. Thieves and the like, bandits and the like, and some people with ulterior motives are all making trouble.
The policeman followed him out.
But what surprised everyone was that nothing happened in Songzhou, a tiny place in the Tang Dynasty. After hearing that a group of bandits had robbed the merchants in Yizhou, they planned to come to Songzhou to grab something as well.
As soon as he arrived at the border of Songzhou, he was reported, and then Songzhou's local defense force was dispatched to directly kill him. For a time, more people came to Songzhou to flee, but the governors kept silent because
Now is not the time to talk about this, everything has to wait for the court's reaction.
However, this matter did not allow Fanlong Academy to have a holiday, and everything remained as usual.
Ye Tan worked hard for more than a month and wanted to relax. Although Qin Qiong meant to prepare for war quickly. If the Turks took action, Tuyuhun and Tubo would not let it go. However, Ye Tan didn't care and just let the sergeant be normal.
While training, he rode a horse and came to the academy.
The construction of the academy has not stopped. By June, roads in various places will also be constructed. The previous approval also allowed some merchants who followed Ye Tan to discover some business opportunities that they had not discovered before, which made them overjoyed, so
, there are many places in Songzhou, even very remote places, some people are willing to visit, because the more remote the place, the more benefits. Of course, this set of caravans in Yejia Village and Songzhou is also
Construction began all over the world, but their construction was probably different from the previous ones. It was not as thorough as Ye Tan, but through bribery of the leaders. But such behavior must not be done in Songzhou.
Ye Tan would not agree.
When Ma was shuttling between Songzhou City and Jiulipu, he noticed some people coming and going, seeming to be in a hurry. Some people should be living a good life at home. These people are afraid of foreign enemies, but when Ye Tan is leisurely
After riding horses through the land, they felt more at ease. Ye Tan performed so well in the last battle with the prairie people, and Ye Tan knew better that after the Turks came this time, there was a fight going on in Tubo.
Well, I don’t have time to go crazy with them.
The horse arrived at the door and saw the guard Zhou Laogou. He had no hand, but standing there, his military posture was very good. If he had a chance with the current guard, he would stay in the room honestly. The weather was hot, so he needed to
Air conditioning, when the weather is cold, air conditioning is needed, and other times, various subsidies are required, which is not a problem at all.
"How's it going inside?" Ye Tan threw the horse's reins to him and asked with a smile.
"Master, it's still the same inside. Only some teachers know what happened. Others are fine." Zhou Gouzi smiled and took the reins with one hand, pulled it aside, and said with a smile.
"It seems they have some confidence in me." Ye Tan walked in with a smile, and when he disappeared, Zhou Gouzi murmured to himself, "It's not that I have a little confidence in you, but that I'm strong.
confidence, otherwise it would be really difficult.”
It’s been a while since we last saw, and Fanlong Academy has been built even better. This is good, not just because there are more buildings, but because it has a human atmosphere, making it look different.
It was morning and the children were all in class. Ye Tan went to the teacher's office and found that it was not there at all.
There are almost a hundred people in the school now. Except for some children from military officers' families, they are children called from various places. As for the other people, there are really not many people. Ye Tan did not come to teach arithmetic, but was taught by Ye Qin.
, because she is a woman and has a good temper. It is not uncommon for women to be teachers since ancient times. For example, Qin Shihuang’s teacher was Qin Qin, but there are not many such talented women. At the beginning, Ye Qin’s
Some actions calmed these children. Originally Ye Tan meant to let Ye Ye come over, but Li Gang said, you let Ye Ye come over, the other children don't matter, but Li Tai, Wu Quan, Wu Mo and others had to make a fuss.
.
Since there was still time, Ye Tan went to the laboratory.
The difference from the original one is that some people from Yejia Village came here to do experiments. They were all routine and the purpose was to cultivate children's interests. However, Li Gang didn't like it very much because it was equivalent to every day.
Endorsement, these things seem even more fascinating. When something is added with color, it becomes another color. Even some things that are unclear in daily life seem to have answers here.
The reason why Ye Tan came here was not to do experiments, but because of the habit he had developed. Whenever he was in a good or bad mood, he would come to the laboratory, because everything here needs to be quiet and careful, otherwise
If you are, the teacher’s words will always make you noisy. If you are not quiet, you will want to do experiments. What are you thinking?
The quiet laboratory is relatively cold, because almost all the solvents here need to be stored at a certain low temperature, and there are big trees around, so when it is quiet, it always makes people feel a little more sharp in their hearts.
.
Ye Tan knew that he had been here for several years, but deep down in his heart, he really couldn't fit in. He had a lazy temperament, and what he liked more was to lie quietly somewhere and live a quiet life for the rest of his life.
However, it is impossible. The beginning of Yejiacun is a sign. He makes a certain place rich. Sometimes he does not help the other party, but harms the other party, because since ancient times, he has been innocent and harbored evil intentions.
Bi Qi's crime, so he gave it to the Ye family to use force. However, he later found that their audience was really too small, so he started some things.
He didn't know what the future would be like, but he knew that sometimes he was like Zhuge Liang when he worked so hard. He was entrusted with other people's affairs. If he agreed to do it, he had to do it honestly and not give up halfway. This was
To whom is the promise?
Is it Yejia Village?
Is it Li Chengqian?
Is it Li Lizhi?
Are they the old gentlemen who help themselves?
Are they the common people in the world?
He found that he couldn't distinguish between these. He always felt that when everything was put together, it became weird. It seemed like a garbled code that could not be separated. Is this kind of life what he wanted?
?
After being in a cage for a long time, he will return to nature. In his previous life, he liked these two sentences the most, and hated them the most, because the cage means confusion, the inner freedom that cannot be stretched, the sustenance of his family, the dependence of his friends, and
The responsibilities of the family are the oppression of the company and the smooth flow of society. He doesn't know how he can get rid of these things, because there is no way to get rid of them. This feeling really sucks.
But after arriving here, it was still the same. Although I did not go to Chang'an to help Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi, some people from the Ye family around me went there in order to escort the two back if anything happened.
Don't show up unless it's absolutely necessary.
He is used to showing favors without repaying them, so he hates betrayal even more.
"Well..." Just when Ye Tan was thinking about things quietly, bursts of crying suddenly came from not far away. The sound was not loud, as if he was suppressing something. He followed the crying and walked over.
I saw the sky-blue fat man crying there like pear blossoms with raindrops.
"Xiao Tai, why are you here?" Ye Tan's voice woke up the homesick Li Tai. He was only in his teens. He looked up at Ye Tan and was stunned for a moment. Then he stood up suddenly and hugged Ye Tan loudly.
He cried, "Brother, elder brother, father, emperor, mother, queen, brothers, sisters, and sisters are all in Chang'an, what should I do, what should I do?"
It seems that someone told him, but he didn't know what to do. After all, he was just a child. His father and brother had always taken care of him. When he came here, although it was hard, he was taken care of in this way, so something happened
, without anyone to discuss it, how can he not be afraid?
Patting his shoulder and hugging his back, Ye Tan said softly, "Xiao Tai, it's okay. Don't worry, brother will give you my word."
It's a pity that Li Tai didn't really listen to his words. Instead, all the tears on his face were found on himself. Ye Tan was a little nauseous, but who made this kid his brother-in-law? He could only let him cry for a while.
.
When Li Tai was almost crying, he continued, "Your father is an invincible man, and your eldest brother is also a powerful character. Everything will be fine. Didn't you know that during the time you were in Chang'an?
They are so powerful, it will definitely be fine this time, you don’t have to worry, if it doesn’t work, I can go there then, right?”
"Really?" Li Tai looked up at Ye Tan with a snotty nose, his eyes full of hope, worried that what he said would make him hear something different.
"Of course, when did I lie to you? You go and wash your face first. I'll meet the husband with me later. I'll tell you when we have dinner together." Ye Tan saw that it was almost time outside and knew that it was almost time.
While eating, I urged him a few words.
"Oh, ah? I'm going to wash up." Li Tai then realized that his face was covered with tears and snot, and he turned around and ran away shyly. Ye Tan followed him to the door, but saw an army of thousands of miles approaching, and couldn't help but think
Heart smiles.
Sure enough, there is no change. It is almost the same as before. When get out of class is over, I basically don’t care about etiquette. Although there are fewer people now, the speed is still amazing. When eating, I don’t care about anything. Incredible.
As for the gentlemen talking behind, no one will listen to them if they eat everything slowly and slowly.
Shaking his head, the faces of the several old gentlemen were rosy, but they were also a little tired. Ye Tan came here this time to reassure them. Many times, if they don't experience it, some troubles will occur. After experiencing it, they will be even more troublesome.
Trouble, because you don’t know what’s going on?
Ye Tan had already ordered someone to prepare a table of good food. After Li Tai washed his face, he took the child downstairs. Although he stopped crying, he was very attached to Ye Tan. For this place,
In addition to being a little scared, he was also at a loss.
When he went to the dining room on the second floor, several old gentlemen were there, drinking tea. Since there were no classes in the afternoon, the children had to do farm surveys and the like, so they would eat longer at noon.
, then drink some wine and relax. There was no such thing as this farmhouse, but Ye Tan added it. It’s just that it’s hard to find teachers now. Among the hundreds of farmers in history, he hasn’t found it yet.
Well, Wu Jinjing is very busy now. He is either at this house or another house every day. Wu Mo has not seen his parents for a long time.
Seeing that everyone was here and in good spirits, Ye Tan smiled and patted the table and said, "You haven't served the food yet, do you want people to starve to death?"
"You, you, still look like this." Yushan wanted to laugh a little when he said this, but his smile was just a little forced. Among these people, except Rui Deng and Li Shi who didn't care, the rest of them had deep feelings.
worries everywhere.
"Eat something first. I'm exhausted during this period." Ye Tan took a sip of tea with a smile, then pointed at Li Tai and said, "Next time you skip class, I'll take him out and beat him."
"Ah?" Li Tai, who had just felt better, immediately changed his mind and looked at him in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.
