Days pass day by day, and there seems to be no change between yesterday and today. However, as long as the time is extended, you will find that small changes have actually changed the color of the world.
The summer grain in the farmland has been harvested long ago, and even the autumn grain is now about to be harvested.
In the green cotton field, a few cotton bolls have occasionally exploded, revealing the white cotton inside.
Li Zhi and Xiong stood on the field ridge and were very dissatisfied with the messy cotton fields in front of them on the left and right.
Originally, in his imagination, he should see a large cotton field. Unexpectedly, when he came here in person, he discovered that for thousands of years, the cotton fields where he settled down in the two counties of Chang'an were just like the ones planted in the plague.
tidy.
Liu Rengui pulled out a handful of cotton from the exploded cotton bolls and brought it to Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the cotton we grew."
Li Zhi took a look at Mian Mian and said, "I said 10,000 acres, and your two counties should have 20,000 acres.
Come and tell me, are there 20,000 acres of cotton fields here?"
Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Reporting to your majesty, for ten thousand years, the two counties of Chang'an have planted 26,000 acres of cotton this year. The cotton fields in front of your majesty are only part of it."
When Li Zhi heard what Liu Rengui said, his face became a little brighter and he continued to ask: "Why are cotton fields planted everywhere?"
Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know that this kind of cotton has another advantage, that is, it can remove salt and alkali in the fields.
The land in the two counties of Chang'an has been cultivated for thousands of years, and it is an indisputable fact that the land is barren and degraded.
Although cotton fields are highly profitable, they cannot compete with grain for land. Therefore, after discussing with Yun Chu, Wei Chen decided to place cotton fields in low-lying, low-saline areas and set aside those fertile fields for growing grain.
After all, without cotton, the people of Chang'an would not freeze to death, but without food, it would be a very fatal thing.
After all, Li Zhi was not a meat-eating owner. He thought for a moment and said: "You will plant the cotton fields so dispersedly. When the time comes, the harvest and transportation of cotton will increase a lot of costs. Just you, Wannian, in the two counties of Chang'an,
How much food can be grown?
Liu Rengui cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wrong. In Chang'an, every kilogram of grain produced by the two counties in ten thousand years is equivalent to two kilograms of grain produced in the rest of Guanzhong. Compared with three kilograms in Henan and four kilograms in Hebei, if it is Huainan, it will be able to
Reaching five kilograms.”
Li Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, Chang'an is extremely expensive, and now it has reached the point of dragging down the Tang Dynasty."
Liu Rengui was the one who was communicating with the emperor along the way. As Yun Chu was a 250-year-old, he had to have a 250-year-old self-awareness, and staying away was the right way.
At least one hand is holding the giant bear's ear, and it's interesting to see it trembling with fear.
Li Zhi has made this bear a monster. When Liu Rengui came over, it would stand up and pounce on its paws. When Yun Chu came over, he would keep leaning towards Li Zhi.
Perhaps Li Zhi saw that Yun Chu was grabbing his bear too hard, so he frowned and said to Yun Chu: "Come here and talk, why are you so far away from me?"
Yun Chu immediately let go of the giant bear's ears, leaned forward and whispered: "Wei Chen is two hundred and five, and I am worried that His Majesty will be angry if he gets too close."
Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and said coldly: "What, did I say something wrong?"
Yun Chu said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise and has no fault. Naturally, it is the humble minister who made the mistake."
Li Zhi sneered and said: "Magistrate Yun has such great official authority. In broad daylight, he dares to lead the government servants and police officers to attack a county official's mansion with full force. You can tell me, who will do it?"
Your courage makes you do this."
Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "Of course it's your Majesty who gave me the courage. As the sixth-rank Zhengyin county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty, I have five hundred thousand herdsmen for Your Majesty. Since he is a herdsman, naturally he cannot turn a blind eye to the grievances of every common people under his rule.
Even if a barbarian enters His Majesty's territory, that is, one of His Majesty's subjects is beaten to death in the street for no reason, doesn't the humble minister not even have the right to come and ask?"
Li Zhi said angrily: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you ask, I just didn't let you take charge of the government officials and arrest the people and attack their mansions with full force.
If you really like to lead troops to fight, come and tell me, I will give you an army and horses for you to command, and then you can go to the horizon to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be great?"
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Yun Chu couldn't help but trembled, and quickly explained: "At that time, people threw Wei Chen's greeting card on the ground, which was too humiliating. If Wei Chen doesn't do something, this county will
Ling is too embarrassed to do it."
Li Zhi patted the giant bear, and it immediately lay down. Li Zhi sat on the bear's back and sighed, hating the fact that iron is not made of steel and said: "Get smart, this capital city, although it is the best place in the world, is also the
In the most evil place in the world, all kinds of monsters and monsters emerge in endlessly, and the tricks of ghosts and ghosts are even more difficult to guard against.
I know you are capable. I have seen your achievements over the years. I also know that you, Yunchu, have never been greedy for a single copper coin. I also know how strict your laws are in Wannian County.
Haven't you considered that after you have worked so hard, why are the Tibetan envoys still being exterminated in your territory?
Do things in detail, think more and weigh more before doing it, and don’t let the traitors take advantage of you..."
A fruitful cotton field, a persuasive emperor, a county magistrate who listened attentively, and a giant snoring bear, in Liu Rengui's eyes, it was a beautiful picture.
The land is fertile, the emperor is wise, the ministers are smart, and the giant bear is honest and honest. This scene should be a picture only seen in the prosperous times.
Unknowingly, Liu Rengui burst into tears and couldn't control his sobs.
Yunchu saw that Liu Rengui was moved to tears by the emperor's behavior. He knew that this kind of opportunity was a rare opportunity in a century for a minister who wanted to climb up.
If he were not the monster the emperor said he was and had used evil tricks on the emperor, he would have been moved to tears.
The worst thing is that he never expected that the emperor would show a rare tenderness today, otherwise, he would definitely smear ginger juice on his sleeves.
Fortunately, as long as he holds his breath and does not breathe for a long time, his face will turn pale, his eye sockets will become red, and finally, his eyes will become red due to congestion.
Therefore, although he did not cry like Liu Rengui, it still made the emperor think that his soul had been greatly shocked, and it was just because he was a military general that he could not shed tears easily.
Li Zhi stood in the cotton field, pointed at the small amount of cotton in front of him, and said with a smile: "When these cottons are harvested and turned into cold clothes for the soldiers, I will decide to compete with Goguryeo and fight for all the dynasties with one blood."
of shame.
And, I will welcome the skeletons of the people from the Central Plains who died in Liaodong back home, and I will build a huge capital city in Goguryeo that has never been seen before.
Leave a name in history, shine brightly through the ages, and shine for thousands of years.
Liu Qing, Yun Qing, this is the goal that our monarchs and ministers want to achieve, and it cannot be compared to doing some trivial things in Chang'an City.
Liu Rengui and Yunchu immediately bowed and said: "As long as you obey your Majesty's orders, you will have no regrets even if you die."
Li Zhi nodded happily and said to the two of them, "Taizong once taught me a song in Tai Chi Palace. I still think about it and remember it vividly. I recite it today to encourage my two beloved friends.
In front of Changbai Mountain, Zhi Shilang wore a pure red cotton back and crotch. His long branches reached half the sky, and his sword shone brightly in the sun. He went up the mountain to eat deer, and came down to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly he heard that the army was coming, and he swung forward with his sword. For example, in Liaodong, he died.
What harm does beheading cause...
When Emperor Taizong recited this anti-poem, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was so sad that he wished he could live.
Because he really didn't understand, even if Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was unkind, why those people were afraid of the Goguryeo people and would rather fight to the death with the army than annihilate Goguryeo.
Emperor Taizong also told me that no matter how difficult it is, we must destroy the ancestral temple of Goguryeo, massacre all the nobles of Goguryeo, and send away the people of Goguryeo. Only in this way can we, the Tang Dynasty, be proud of others and have no rivals.??
For this reason, Emperor Taizong still personally led the army to conquer Goguryeo even in his twilight years.
Who would have thought that the weather would not go as planned, Liaodong would be bitterly cold, and there would be heavy snowfall in September. Emperor Taizong returned with half the effort, and when he died, he still held my hand, and what he could not forget was the damn Goguryeo!"
Liu Rengui bowed and said: "If your Majesty raises an army to attack Goguryeo, I would like to serve as your vanguard."
Li Zhi nodded happily and looked at Yun Chu again.
Yunchu bowed and said: "My generals in the Tang Dynasty are as bright as stars, with fierce generals like clouds, advisors like rain, and humble ministers who are willing to stay behind to provide food, grass and supplies for the army. We will not let our army suffer from lack of food and clothing again."
Returned in vain."
Regarding what Li Zhi said, Yun Chu did not think it was Li Zhi's political means, but seeing that the cotton harvest was about to be harvested today, he couldn't help but feel excited.
By destroying Goguryeo, Li Zhi would be able to accomplish a great feat that even Emperor Taizong had never accomplished.
By destroying Goguryeo, Li Zhi would be able to take over all the power and let the entire Tang Dynasty move forward according to his will.
In terms of destroying Goguryeo, Yunchu felt that his heart was the same as that of Li Zhi and Liu Rengui.
Watching Li Zhi's car return to the city, Liu Rengui looked at Yun Chu and said, "As a general, are you really not planning to visit Goguryeo?"
Yun Chu smiled and shook his head and said: "Everyone wants to go to Goguryeo. If everyone goes to Goguryeo, who will provide food and clothing for you people?"
Liu Rengui laughed loudly and said: "If you don't enter Goguryeo in this life, you will be a minister in vain!"
Yunchu was also very happy. This time he entered Goguryeo, which was very different from when Emperor Yang and Emperor Taizong of Sui Dynasty entered Goguryeo. There was gunpowder to cut mountains and rocks, and cotton clothes to keep out the cold. It could be said that the Tang army had been fully equipped to conquer Goguryeo.
The last two shortcomings.
If Li Zhi really perseveres and does not change, he will definitely be a hundred times better than what he has recorded in history.
