Chapter 3 Embarrassing age, the deepest memory
"It is an accident that the old marquis died of illness on this trip, but fortunately, half of the travelogue he wrote can be regarded as introducing the strange world in the west to the world to deepen understanding, which is enough to comfort the old marquis's soul in the sky!"
Li Zhi noticed that Yang Gaotang did not mention the Buddhist scriptures in his speech, and he was a pure follower of Taoist thought, and of course he was quite unimpressed by the move to travel to the Western Regions to obtain Buddhist classics.
Moreover, in contemporary times and through various dynasties, it has always been upheld that Confucianism is the doctrine of entering the WTO and using the world, mainly talking about the current world, with a realistic style, Wu Zetian wanted to overcome the disadvantages brought by Confucianism to himself, break the traditional rules of male crown prince succession, and become the emperor himself, at that time except Buddhism, there was no other doctrine to use.
This is because Buddhism talks about past and future lives, and there is no root in the conversation, and there is no way to verify it, which is the best effect for Chinese people who have the bad habit of believing in books.
As a result, the Buddhists cooperated with Wu Zetian to claim the emperor's great public opinion and forged a "Great Cloud Sutra", which was based on the "Dafang and Other Unthinking Great Cloud Sutra" taken on the Silk Road, so that she could start ruling as the "Queen of Heaven".
When the Tang Dynasty was first established, the rulers of Li Tang claimed to be a descendant of Li Er, the ancestor of Taoism, and stipulated that the Tao came before the Buddha.
After Wu Zetian adjusted to the Buddha's first path at this time, it caused some fluctuations in society, and the phenomenon of abandoning the path to Buddhism appeared, and now more and more speculators have turned to Buddhism and asked to turn to Buddhism.
In Yang Gaotang's view, the move of Li Lezhan, the second generation of the Li family, to the west, belongs to such a stream of seeing the wind and making the rudder, and at present, seeing the frequent change of official name after the martial arts, changing the eastern capital of Luoyang to the divine capital, ascending the throne and claiming the emperor for himself, establishing a new order, and taking a series of important measures, it will naturally be opposed by the imperial Li family, Taoist people and many scholars and bureaucrats.
These things are too difficult and complicated, Li Zhi let it go when he thought about it in his heart, he finally climbed an unexpected road of rebirth, how to make this life more nourishing is the first thing, what does the national affairs have to do with him?
"Little Marquis, I also returned from the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and the affairs of the Li family have not long been informed!"
Perhaps because of guilt in his heart, he eagerly approached the county lord of Qingqi a little too much, so while Li Zhi heard the soft whisper in her mouth, he also smelled a wisp of fragrance on her body, and the slippery jade fingers twisted a silk handkerchief, thinking that he was instructing him to wipe his dark face that had been soaked in smoke.
At this time, a group of subordinates were busy chasing the prey running around, and Yang Gaotang, who watched her grow up, knew the friendship between the two of them, and walked away into the distance at this time.
"Little county lord, don't worry, this hurdle in my heart has long passed! Have you come back from the Temple of Mercy and Grace? Have you ever seen Brother Junliang? Li Zhi changed the subject.
In the Tang Dynasty, where there was no air conditioning, even the royal people with a noble status had to face the hot weather, and the capital Chang'an could not escape the invasion of the summer heat wave, Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Basin, and the air circulation in summer is not smooth, which is more likely to form sultry weather.
If you have purchased a mat, a fan, or a bamboo knee, and still feel unbearable heat when lying under the north window, then you need to consider escaping your home and going to a cooler place to escape the heat.
Officials and civilians would take refuge from the heat on the higher altitudes and densely vegetated mountains, and the temples in the mountains became popular summer spots.
Chang'an is surrounded by mountains, and naturally there are many summer resorts, such as the Cuiwei Temple, which was once the palace of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty on the side of the Zhongnan Mountain in the south of the city, which is the place where literati and scholars often go to escape the summer.
If you think that the suburbs are far away in the mountains, you can also choose the Ci'en Temple in the south of Chang'an City, although the terrain of Ci'en Temple is not high, but close to the Qujiang River, the temple is full of ancient pine and bamboo, pine wind and bamboo rhyme everywhere, it can wash away the heat.
In addition, there is a tower of Ci'en Temple towering in the temple, visitors can not only borrow the shade of the tower to enjoy the shade, but also can climb to the top of the tower to bathe in the wind, which is the most suitable place to escape the summer in Chang'an City in addition to the imperial palace.
Mi Qin Mi Junliang is a well-known young talent in Chang'an City, this person is twenty or six years old, but because of the family relationship, he has a close movement with the Linhuai County Palace, and he is also the childhood eldest brother of Li Zhi and the Qingqi County Lord.
At this time, the first thing Li Zhi thought of after being reborn was because this person joined the army for the Bapin Silu, although it was only a false name for a full-time official who was not engaged in actually writing the official documents of Liucao, but among the contacts he made, there were a lot of young members of the imperial clan.
The entire Li family has 60 hectares, that is, more than 6,000 acres, which are Li Zhi's property, which is distributed to nearly 300 tenant farmers for rent and planting, and collects 20% of the harvest as rent every year.
Because it is a fief, the state's taxes are very light, and only a few stones of grain or a few taels of silver can be handed over symbolically.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was new progress in agricultural production tools, and the Quyuan plough appeared at this time, and new irrigation tools such as waterwheels and cylinder carts also appeared.
In his previous life, he had a double master's degree in agriculture and history, and in the agricultural university where he studied, he learned quite detailed knowledge about farmland planting and irrigation, and now because of the original memory of the reborn body, he can quickly master the acquisition of a skill, and then he plans to earn the financial resources since the rebirth through scientific planting.
At this time, the lowest price of rice in Chang'an and Luoyang was only thirteen wen per bucket, land reclamation and overhaul of water conservancy, grain output would increase substantially, Li Zhi because of his title, although he could receive 780 taels of silver every year, but the huge Li family raised a huge family and more than 300 craftsmen, slaves, miscellaneous households and other domestic and foreign helpers, all of his belongings, just barely to maintain the operation of the family.
And then Li Zhi also had to prepare the silk weaving industry, shipbuilding industry, paper industry, tea and wine industry and other handicraft industries, the Tang Dynasty handicraft industry was divided into two types: government and private, the Ministry of Industry was the most important department in charge of the government-run handicraft industry, and the institutions directly managed by the Shaofu Supervisor, the General Supervisor, and the Ordnance Supervisor.
The young government supervisor is in charge of delicate handicrafts; will be in charge of the construction of civil works; The Ordnance Superintendent is responsible for the construction of weapons. There is a bureau under the prison, a workshop under the department, and there are also coinage supervisors and smelting supervisors, etc., and he needs to borrow Mi Qin to make friends with a series of people in this area.
In the Tang Dynasty, the landlords of the clan dominated the landlords, implemented the production system of tenants, and the class concept was deep-rooted.
"Brother Junliang, I met it! What's the matter, Brother Zhengwen has something to do with him? β
"During my trip to the Western Regions, I saw some fresh vegetables that I had never seen in the East, but this kind of vegetable cultivation of unknown origin requires the approval of the relevant government. You also know that I was young when I left, and I didn't know more people without the help of my parents. β
Li Zhi believes that the current Western Regions must have vegetable seeds from other domains such as tomatoes and celery in the modern world in the previous life, although he can't spare time to go through the Western Regions again, but as a future development plan, it is also visible in the near future.
"Brother Zhengwen, I didn't expect that after nearly two years, you actually knew that you had started a business! It's no wonder that the current Li family ......"
As he spoke, the two circles under the eyes of the county lord of Qingqi were flushed, and his complaining tone was immediately revealed.
Li Zhi said happily: "I want to be a few feet tall man, and it is the right way to stand up when the family is falling, and I can't rely on my inner life to live!" Although I haven't done much in the past few years, the entire Li family still needs me to support it at this time! β
The tense face of the county lord of Qingqi revealed a ray of relief, "It's rare that you have the mind of a big husband at such an age!" Don't forget that there is also the Linhuai County Palace, if there is something that needs to be taken care of, I will definitely go all out! It's just that you, a dignified county baron with the surname of Food, are engaged in some business affairs, will it cause trouble? β
"What identity? A very small official at the county level who has no real power, relying on the imperial examination to gain fame is too long, and the scriptures or current affairs content of the Ming Jing and Jinshi are mostly closely related to being an official. β
"Rejuvenating the country through commerce? It's the first time I've heard of this kind of statement, and it seems that you've learned a lot on the westward journey in the past two years! β
"The Tang civilization comes with the wind, and the thinking on the phenomenon of the Tang West Market under the prospect of cultural development and prosperity is a rare historical opportunity that can not be bypassed in the future. It's just that at present, this kind of thinking of mine belongs to the extremely avant-garde and rebellious rhetoric, and the little county lord can't reveal it to me, otherwise my reputation will be flawed in the future, and the hope of marrying you will be even more slim! β
The face of the county lord of Qingqi turned red, although she and him had long had a vague affection and secret promise, but the huge gap between the families made the future achievements of this hope quite unrealistic, and Li Zhiyuan in his previous life went to the Western Regions, and there was a great reason to avoid this incident.
Moreover, the two have never had a face-to-face direct communication on this matter, and at this moment, Li Zhi's mouth abruptly conveyed his admiration for her, which frightened the county lord of Qingqi for a while.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Which one said he was going to marry, married to you! β
"Sister Qingqi, when you have money, you lose, and when you don't have money, you worship God, I don't want to fall into the clichΓ© of decay when I love you! You know it's strange to remember the fact that I didn't remember my birth, I didn't remember my first gift, I didn't even remember the first time I went hunting in the hunting grounds! But I remember that the sweetest sound I heard for the first time came from your mouth! β
The so-called love at first sight was revealed by Li Zhi in such a monologue, which is not only the deepest memory of the predecessor Li Zhi, but also the sudden emergence of his feelings after seeing the county lord of Qingqi for the first time.
Of course, the reason for this is also due to the most embarrassing age in the predecessor, the deepest memory, and the purest love, and Li Zhi, a new subject, likes her in this way.
