Section 19 Li Tai and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty
The cooked green corn was naturally fragrant. That day, Higurashi happily brought a plate to grandma and aunts, and the maids were not allowed to touch it.
In the Marquis Mansion, eating corn can give you a festive feeling. It is a high-end product. The way Xin Yue holds the corn on the cob and gnaws it makes people feel sad. She carefully ate no residue at all. That day, Higurashi finished his own in one go, and then
Staring at Yun Ye, he had to break off another half and pass it over to her. The little girl counted the corn kernels on the cob and prepared to cut them with a knife. The quantity was not enough, so the little girls had to take half each.
What on earth are you doing? Yun Ye suddenly burst into anger. It's none of my business whether people in the world eat or not. If he treats his family like this with a broken corn, isn't there still more than ten acres of corn in the field? My family eats it.
So what if it’s just one acre? Didn’t everyone starve to death when there was no corn?
If you like to eat, you will eat enough today. Relatives, friends and elders will give some to you. You can’t eat it yourself and expect everyone in the world to eat it? Li Er has only spread potatoes in a small area. What is he doing? The Yun family
The old men in Zhuangzi are no longer interested in potatoes, but people outside don't even know what potatoes are.
Does it mean that even crops must be divided into superior and inferior classes? Potatoes can only be grown in the homes of wealthy people, but not in the homes of ordinary people who need them most to satisfy their hunger?
Although I know that this is Li Er's caution, since ancient times, farming has always been the cornerstone of the feudal dynasty, and agriculture has always been the cornerstone of the feudal dynasty. No matter how careful you are, wealthy people can withstand losses, even if the income from potatoes suddenly disappears.
They won't starve to death, but poor people are different. If the harvest suddenly disappears after a year of planting, it will be a major event for the change of dynasties. Rice, wheat, millet, millet, and sorghum have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years before they became the main food for the people.
The emergence of potatoes was too short and needs to be verified.
But even so, Yun Ye still felt hurt. He knew very well what happened to the potatoes, not to mention the corn. The small bowl of porridge in his hand made a squeaking sound, and he saw Shishi peeling them one by one.
The pitiful look of eating corn completely broke out. He threw the small bowl in his hand on the table, turned around and walked out the door, making the family members at the dinner table look at each other, wondering what kind of madness Yun Ye had.
He brought his servants to the cornfield and selected the best growing one. After giving the order, the servants rushed into the cornfield and began to break the corn. Yun Ye had no intention of leaving a single corn plant in this patch of corn to benefit the world.
, the most important thing is to benefit his own family first. He never believes in those who don't care about his wife, children, and children. I don't know if such people can still be regarded as human beings. They don't care about their wives, children, or children, but they are compassionate and compassionate.
People who are suffering in the world are seeking welfare, but behind the seemingly greatness are often hidden ugly and unknown purposes.
There were many such people in the Tang Dynasty, and they were all local officials. There were none in the capital. Even people like Wei Zheng knew how to buy a good house for their stupid son, fearing that he would be deprived of food and clothing in the future.
The sight of love makes people feel comfortable.
There was not much land in one acre, and it was cleared cleanly by the servants in half an hour. Looking at more than a dozen baskets of corn cobs, Yun Ye finally relieved the hatred in his heart.
Grandma patted Yun Ye's hand without saying anything, and went to the Buddhist hall with a smile, preparing to make up for today's homework. Xin Yue was about to speak, but Yun Ye glared back. That day, Rimu was as happy as a child, asking Yun Ye
I cooked a lot for her, and she planned to eat boiled corn in the next half month.
Another big pot was cooked, and Steward Qian was given an ear of corn. He was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes, and Xiao Ya quickly gnawed up the little corn she had saved.
That's right, that day, Higurashi went to his house with a plate, knowing that she was going to give it to the eunuch to eat. Xiaoya, Xiaowu, and several other little girls shared two for each of them. If they couldn't finish the food, they would have the rest.
The whole family is not allowed to let go.
"What's wrong with you today? You usually value corn as much as your life, so why are you cutting down so much now? Didn't you say it's all about growing grain? You also said that your parents would starve to death and not eat growing grain. Today, your temper has changed.
Already?"
"If I really watched my parents starve to death without even eating the grain, would you still like me like this? If I were selfless, I wouldn't be Yun Ye. The world and the common people are not what I care about.
, I am also a member of the common people, and I also need to be taken care of. If I can’t take care of the world, my whole family is half-dead to fight the famine. Conscience, that thing is only something you can have after you have enough to eat.”
Xin Yue kissed Yun Ye on the mouth and said, "A husband like you is a good husband. I don't know what kind of virtue I have accumulated in my life to be able to marry a good man like you. It is my blessing to give you children."
I will live a warm and happy life under your wings for the rest of my life. Didn’t Guan Zhong say that having enough food and clothing means knowing etiquette? The words of the sages are consistent with your words."
Xin Yue likes to see Yun Ye who cares about his family the most. Seeing that he has a tendency to develop in this direction, she quickly encourages her and provides evidence for her husband's words to strengthen her husband's mind.
It was completely dark, but there was still no movement from Li Tai. Yun Ye put two ears of corn in the basket and prepared to go down to take a look. Seeing Yun Ye delivering food to Li Tai, the commander gratefully opened the cellar door and let him go down.
Li Tai's firecrackers have been prepared, but the diligent young man is still busy, holding a magnifying glass to carefully study the saltpeter and sulfur of different purity, trying to make a record.
The notebook is already filled with some symbols. These are the English letters that Yun Ye specially taught him. It was purely for confidentiality. Li Tai himself formulated a new meaning for each English letter. Yun Ye picked up his notes now.
I can't understand what he recorded.
A man who is addicted to work is very charming, resolute, strong, and unyielding. In short, you will discover at this moment the advantages you have never found in him.
Touching a teapot, he found that the tea inside was already cold. Taking advantage of Li Tai's rest, Yun Ye said: "Qingque, take a rest. I have raised the gunpowder to a new level. Do you want to build on this?"
It won't be easy to make new discoveries, and there will be delicious things for you.
Li Tai smiled at Yun Ye, sighed, stretched his waist again, opened the lid of the basket, and exclaimed: "Corn, what happened today? Why are you willing to give me such a good thing? I asked you last year
I want to have a taste, but you scolded me so much. Could it be that you saw me working too hard and asked me to replenish it? "
"Wash your hands first. If your hands are full of medicinal powder, you don't know how to develop a good habit of washing your hands after work. I don't know what else you will study in the future. If you get involved in the field of biochemistry, just not washing your hands will be a problem.
It will kill you."
Li Tai was always open-minded about correct opinions. He put down the lid and went to wash his hands at the edge of the basin. He washed his hands twice carefully before wiping away the water stains. He took out the corn from the basket, pulled off the corn silk, and peeled it apart.
Chew the outer skin in big mouthfuls.
Judging from his actions, you can tell that these bastards in the academy must have eaten a lot of corn. Unfortunately, I couldn't bear to take a bite until today.
When I came to Li Tai's case, I looked at the firecrackers he had made. They were very careful. They ranged from large to small. There were very few ingredients left in the drawer. I picked up the firecrackers and shook them. They were stuffed very tightly. On the bamboo joints,
The small holes are also drilled very delicately. It is hard to imagine that these things were made by a prince.
"Qingque, even I am impressed by your resilience. You were born to do this. With hard work and talent, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything you want. I can't imagine what achievements you will achieve in the future. Your brother
I really can't compare with you. No matter in talent or hard work, I am not as good as you."
Li Tai spit out a mouthful of scum, rolled his eyes and said, "Then why don't you choose to help my brother? You turn a blind eye to fine breeds like me. Don't you think it's a little late to say this now?"
"You are overthinking. If you just talk about being an emperor, I will still firmly support your brother. You cannot govern the country well. When a scientist is the head of a country, it is a disaster for that country. Their temperament is inherently crazy.
Jin, you don’t know how much pressure it will be to be the emperor. With your temperament, it won’t take long for you to completely release that crazy energy. You are very domineering. Do you know that you and Yang
Looks a lot like Guang?"
Li Tai was speechless. He lowered his head and continued to eat corn. After a while, he raised his head and said helplessly to Yun Ye: "I wanted to refute what you said, but it turned out that it was exactly as you said. We are very similar, have the same literary talent and the same style.
His talent was extraordinary, and even his ideas were similar. If the canal had not been rushed, Yang Guang would have been a famous emperor. If the conquest of Goryeo had not been so urgent, it would not have caused the Sui Dynasty to fall apart.
We are very impatient and want to accomplish something that takes a hundred years within a few years, so we are bound to not be too safe."
"Xiao Tai, this is why I don't want you to become emperor. The two above are important, but you haven't understood the most important one. Just look at what your father has been doing these years, and you will understand. Yang
Guang was not only impatient, but also needed to quickly accumulate connections. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, many clans were rampant, including your Guanlong Li family, which put too much pressure on Yang Guang. He needed to prove that he was a good emperor, so he chose the Eastern Expedition.
Goryeo concentrated all the power of the country there and consumed a lot of the power of the clans. If the Eastern Expedition succeeded, he would definitely take advantage of the victory and deal with the clans in the country. This is why your grandfather was shocked three times in one night.
.
At home, he wanted to establish his eternal achievements through the digging of the canal. Unfortunately, his Eastern Expedition failed miserably. The people who dug the Grand Canal were unknown, and Ma Shumou's people cannibalized people like wild beasts. The domestic resentment boiled, and he lost his nobles.
The trust of the people also cannot be trusted by the people, so it is not surprising that the Eighteenth Route rebelled against the king and the Seventy-two Smoke and Dust appeared. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature
