This is a natural disaster. Who believes that no one will die in a natural disaster? Who believes that everyone will be safe in a natural disaster?
It seems that this is the beginning of the improvement of the social status of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.
Three consecutive days of sunny weather have caused the water level of the Yellow River to drop quite a bit. The entire Henan Road has been inspected for its embankments. You must know that the Yellow River floods in history have hurt the most people on Henan Road. The Yellow River has changed its course, and there are major changes in the downstream.
, changed to the mouth of the sea, the Yellow River is the mother river, but it is the river with the most terrifying floods in history.
Li Yuanxing had already moved into Luoyang City and stayed at the Luoyang Mansion.
"The order goes down, so anyone who comes to see me will be postponed for ten days, unless there is something particularly urgent. At the moment, I only care about three things in Luoyang!" Li Yuanxing said, coming to the General Staff Council from Chang'an
The young man began to record Li Yuanxing's orders below.
More than forty people came to the General Staff Council of the Prince of Qin's Mansion this time, including both princes.
Li Ke also brought a letter from Li Min. The little guy obviously had some regrets about postponing his cart competition, but he did not complain. He only said that he hoped that after the fifth uncle returned to Chang'an, a few emperor brothers could help him organize it.
Li Yuanxing glanced at the young people and knocked on the table gently: "River affairs, agriculture, and business. Take your pick from these three things!"
Pick! Naturally, there is a faction headed by the two princes, a faction led by emerging nobles, such as Chang Sun Chong and others, and the last faction is led by Cui Yiye and Cui Yujie, two children of the Cui family, with Cui Yiye retreating behind the scenes.
, because he is already a responsible official in the Qin Palace.
The three factions were divided into three circles to discuss.
Cui Yiye said at this time: "Your Highness, there are a few small matters that seem to be classified as government affairs and miscellaneous matters."
"Tell me about it?"
"The official examination and the re-evaluation of Luoyang officials are a matter of the official department, but the Qin Palace has to take care of it now. I don't know how your highness will distribute this matter!" Cui Yiye asked respectfully.
Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "At this time, the principle of the Qin Palace is not to interfere. Cui Changshi should be responsible for coordinating the officials."
"Yes!" Cui Yiye bowed and said: "Your Highness, there is another good thing. After I came to Luoyang, I met Wu Bin. He told me that in the past three days, there have been 760 matchmakers.
Three people have been to the military camp. It seems that many people's families in Luoyang hope to marry their daughters to the Guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace, as well as the Lei Qi, and the sergeants of the Twelve Guards!"
Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react.
Cui Yiye was a little surprised when he saw Li Yuanxing's reaction: "Your Highness, you seem surprised?"
"A good man should not be a soldier, and a good woman should not marry a soldier! I wonder if you have heard of this." Li Yuanxing asked.
Cui Yiye nodded: "Although the terms vary from place to place, the meaning is the same."
"What do you think?"
"Returning to Your Highness, I think that when the government was in chaos, corrupt officials were everywhere in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and in the years of war that followed, soldiers were also bandits, and bandits were also soldiers. Moreover, since ancient times, most of the soldiers were recruited by force. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, voluntary soldiers were the leader.
During one dynasty, when it was as powerful as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was also a time when soldiers were forced to be recruited. During the Warring States and Qin Dynasty, the whole country was full of soldiers. Therefore, soldiers were considered a lowly status."
Cui Yiye's knowledge is good and his answers are clear and simple.
"Soldiers are living without enough food and clothing. During the war, they don't know when they will die and are willing to throw away their lives at any time. How many people still remain simple, in order to survive, or just hold on to the day.
In a day's life, it is not difficult to understand that soldiers are also bandits, and bandits are also soldiers. This is also the reason why soldiers are humble!"
Cui Yiye's statement made Li Yuanxing very satisfied.
"Yiye, please handle this matter. Within a month, you will come up with a statement. I want to hear your opinion. If you want to change everything, I will give you two sentences. First, let the sergeant live like a human being.
Second, give more consideration to your military relatives, so that you can have someone to support you in life and someone to support you in death!"
"Yes!" Cui Yiye bowed and saluted and stood aside.
Now, it's the little ones' turn.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, we choose Hewu!" Li Chengqian was the first to make his choice. He used a very formal title.
Li Yuanxing nodded.
Changsun Chong chose farming, and the children of the aristocratic family chose business.
"Go ahead and come up with the terms tomorrow. After I approve it, you can execute it!"
"Yes!" All the young staff officers stood up, saluted and then left.
When there was no one else in the living room, Li Yuanxing waved to Lu Maofeng: "Lu Maofeng, do you know about the matchmaker?" Lu Maofeng came over with a smirk on his face: "Your Highness, of course I know. I just treat it as a trivial matter.
The boys were so happy that nearly a thousand people were beaten."
"Playing the game?" Li Yuanxing laughed. He felt very surprised and didn't know why.
"Someone is willing to marry, and she is the daughter of a good family. Naturally, she will not be able to sleep well. In the military camp, if she makes noise after being quiet at night, she will be slapped. If she is not sleeping well, she will be slapped if she goes out late for training. In short,
Dozens of boards have been broken, so these guys are on the safe side!"
Lu Maofeng suddenly stopped smiling: "Your Highness, there is a wealthy family in Luoyang who wants to marry his daughter to Wu Bin. Wu Bin refused, saying that he already has a wife!"
"This, let him go!" Li Yuanxing had the thoughts of later generations and could understand Wu Bin.
Lu Maofeng said: "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with Wu Bin being affectionate and righteous, but when he is promoted to general a few years later, he still takes the Goguryeo slave as his head wife, and I am afraid he will be laughed at!"
Li Yuanxing was also very serious: "Wu Bin is not a child. He knows what he is doing. Being affectionate and righteous is not wrong. If someone dares to laugh at him in the future, I will stand up for him!" Lu Maofeng saw that Li Yuanxing was unhappy and did not dare to say more.
Li Yuanxing's tone slowed down a bit: "Actually, you don't know that the Cui family is also arranging to choose a real wife for Yiye!"
"Then..." As soon as Lu Maofeng opened his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth.
He can say whatever he wants about Wu Bin, but Cui Yiye is different.
Cui Yiye is the direct grandson of the Cui family. He is a nobleman and holds an official position. It is not something he can discuss at will.
"Cui Yiye refused. He is also a kind and righteous person. But I have to persuade him to consider marrying a real wife, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue. I have already arranged this matter.
Princess Ying has gone to deal with it as appropriate, and you have considered the matter concerning Wu Bin correctly."
"Your Highness, you are too talkative!"
"Let's go and talk to the family who is willing to marry their daughter to Wu Bin. If possible, I will ask Princess Yan to meet that woman in person. I just hope that she will no longer have a slave in her eyes. That Goguryeo woman
When Wu Bin went to war, he really took good care of Wu Bin's mother!"
Lu Maofeng saluted: "That so-and-so goes now!"
Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "Go ahead, just be careful!"
After Lu Maofeng went out, Li Yuanxing walked into the courtyard. The four guards guarding the door immediately came over. They thought Li Yuanxing had something to give him. Li Yuanxing asked casually: "Has a matchmaker come to see you?"
"Yes!" the guard replied.
"What do you think? Let me tell you." Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
The young man's face turned red, and finally the older one replied: "Your Highness, there are some who bought slaves who could not marry wives before, but they want to get married seriously, especially those who have not given birth yet.
Doll’s.”
Li Yuanxing nodded, he could understand.
When a particularly lowly sergeant buys a slave, it is difficult to tell what kind of good slave he can buy, and what his previous background is.
"Your Highness, there are a few people who are very ambitious and want to achieve military success and find a wife in Chang'an in the future!"
Hearing this, Li Yuanxing smiled. He didn't expect that the concept of household registration already existed in the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an was the capital, but he also had the idea of ambition.
"It will get better and better in the future. You should also learn more and make progress."
"Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness!" All the guards saluted.
Li Yuanxing was about to go back to his room, but saw Lu Maofeng running back again. Li Yuanxing stood there without moving. Lu Maofeng ran closer and said, "Your Highness, great news. General Qu has woken up, and Immortal Sun has sent someone to invite Your Highness to come over!"
"
"Let's go!" Li Yuanxing took long strides and walked out.
Qu Tutong woke up, which was indeed a great good thing. Li Yuanxing didn't know how long Qu Tutong could earn money, and how many unfulfilled wishes he had left, so he must go and visit him in person.
Qu Tutong was awake, but his body was extremely weak.
Seeing Li Yuanxing enter the room, Qu Tutong forced himself to sit up: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" Li Yuanxing quickly walked a few steps to support him: "Veteran, you must not get up, rest in peace, take good care of yourself first!"
"Your Highness, I have lived this old life to the end. If I can open my eyes again and see Your Highness coming to Luoyang, I will die with peace of mind. The power of King Qin can subdue even natural disasters. The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is here. I can close my eyes with peace of mind. Two
Your incompetent sons, Your Highness, don’t indulge them. If they are strong in military service, they will be high in rank, but if they are weak in military service, let them live in peace!"
Qu Tutong was explaining the funeral arrangements.
Li Yuanxing turned his head and glanced at Sun Laodao. Sun Laodao shook his head gently and made secret gestures with his fingers. That meant that even if he forced himself to hold on, he would only be able to hold on for a month at most.
Li Yuanxing smiled and helped Qu Tutong sit on the bedside: "Old General, it's too early to talk about life or death. I haven't had a good harvest of fairy grains yet. Moreover, I still have ten thousand kilograms of grain per mu. If Old General Qu
It’s not a pity if you don’t take a look at it. Listen to me and take care of your body with peace of mind. General Qu, you must take good care of your body!”
"Your Highness, the yield per mu is ten thousand catties?"
"Have I ever told lies?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
There was more sparkle in Qu Tutong's eyes: "Bring me the medicine, I will live to see the fairy grain yielding ten thousand kilograms per acre."
After taking the medicine, Qu Tutong fell into a drowsy state.
Li Yuanxing, Sun Laodao, and Qu Tutong's two sons came outside the house and said, "Old Sun, hold on for a while. At least let the old general see the harvest!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for more novel updates.
