The sun had just risen on this day, and Li Shimin took the Manchu Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to inspect the operation of the mutual market. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days ago, Li Chong, the leader of the Hundred Cavalry Division, brought back a letter from Han Yue, which was sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, and arranged all the aspects that could be involved in the operation of the mutual market.

Li Shimin ordered the household department to act according to the rules and regulations, and reactivated a group of personnel left by Han Yue, Uncle Tian was in charge of the Crystal Palace, Gu Mingwei was in charge of the research institute, and Tian Ergou was in charge of the horse grain market.

In just a few days, the mutual market swept away the depression and became prosperous again.

"Mowgli, are you ready to take it now?" Li Shimin stood at the door of the research institute with his hands in his hands, and said meaningfully: "Although your household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, it is not as good as a mutual market façade. ”

The emperor said and walked, and the ministers behind him followed suit, Li Shimin suddenly snorted and said, "Look at who the stinky boy uses?" Uncle Tian was born in Zhuanghu, Gu Mingwei is a down-and-out scholar, and Tian Ergou is a slippery bastard...... It is these ordinary people who have supported a magnificent mutual market, prosperous as it was at the beginning, and profits are endless. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said with emotion: "The minister now knows that the Marquis of Jingyang really has the ability to turn decay into magic. He is eclectic in employing people, but he can do wonders. Not long ago, the ministers were widely transferred to the household department, and all of them were talented people who read poetry and books, but everyone was busy every day, and the mutual market was still constantly losing money, which was really ashamed. ”

Li Shimin laughed, he suddenly swept the important ministers behind him, and said lightly: "The stinky boy once said that if you bite the vegetable root, everything can be done, and he uses people from poor backgrounds, although he can't read, but he understands people's livelihood." The word people's livelihood is very good and contains profound meaning, but it is clear when you hear it. Mowgli, although the elite members you transferred are full of poetry and books, it's a pity that they are all dead readers and don't understand what people's livelihood is. ”

The eldest grandson kept nodding his head and muttered: "Jingyang Hou's remarks are very magical, sometimes just some strange slang, but after careful consideration, I feel extremely refined. How old is he, he is only seventeen years old this year, and when he was seventeen years old, he was still immersed in hard reading, thinking that the words of the sages were everything. Now it seems that I am really ashamed. ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, constantly raising Han Yue's reputation for his exploits, and suddenly someone among the ministers retorted: "The words of the sages have been passed down through the ages, and the old minister feels that there is nothing wrong with it!" ”

But it was Wang Jue who suddenly interjected, he twisted his beard and said lightly: "From ancient times to the present, the imperial court has governed the country, the family has governed the land, and the people used have all read poetry and books, and the sages are sages, and Zhao Guogong can't overthrow the status of the ancient sages because the Marquis of Jingyang has done a few things." ”

The old man paused slightly when he said this, turned to look at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Even Your Majesty, you should also reflect on it." ”

The emperor snorted, and did not speak with a cold face. Wang Qi's official position is the same as Wei Zheng's, and he is a court counselor, and he is qualified to advise on anything. It's a pity that this old man doesn't have Wei Zheng's iron backbone, and most of his admonitions are dead-hearted, such as the current hand, which is really talking about the words of sages on the surface, but in fact, he is downplaying Han Yue's merits and reputation.

The eldest grandson Wuji chuckled indifferently, and said leisurely: "The old man is in charge of the household department, he is responsible for the food and clothing of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and he must pay attention to the income of the fields and the people's livelihood, and there are many things like this, although the book of sages has been passed down for thousands of years, hehe, but this matter has never been involved......

Wang Qishou frowned, and said lightly: "The matter of eating and drinking Lazar is not in the hall of elegance, and the saint educates the world, how can he take care of this." ”

"But I think that eating and drinking Lazar is a major event in the world!" Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and he said meaningfully: ""Gentleman, Zhouye; The people are also water. Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat. When the people have no food to drink, the ship of the Son of Heaven will capsize. ”

The emperor felt this and said, since ancient times, the emperor is just like this, and the important ministers around him continue to bow their heads, and everyone praises them. Wang Jue's eyes flickered a few times, knowing that if he said it again, he would offend the anger of the public.

At this moment, suddenly there was smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and everyone looked at it, but saw two straddle horses coming from the south at a high speed, running all the way and shouting: "Tell Your Majesty, Guanzhong Dafeng, Tell Your Majesty, Guanzhong Dafeng......"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and a military general next to him looked into the distance, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the two knights have red feathers on their backs, and they are the eight hundred miles of red feathers. ”

As he spoke, the two fast horses had come near, and one of them, after a long journey, finally foamed at the mouth, gave up his hooves, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The knight on the horse rolled, he didn't care whether the mount was alive or dead, ran to the emperor in a few steps, and said loudly: "Tell Your Majesty, Guanzhong Dafeng, Guanzhong Dafeng!" ”

"Take your breath and speak slowly!" Li Shimin snorted lightly, and two hundred cavalry guards next to him had already stepped forward, one holding a water bladder and the other holding a sweat towel, carefully helping this person check the sweat and fill the water.

This man was running all the way, his face was covered in dust and mud, he was about fifty years old, and although he was exhausted, his eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy, half a month ago, Guanzhong collected grain, and the ministers took the servants to eat and live in the fields, and as far as the eye could see, there was a bumper harvest. The grain yield is terrifying...... "As he spoke, his mouth was trembling, and he was obviously very excited.

The world's grain production is related to the household department, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the crowd and said softly: "Wannian County Order takes a breather, you have also reached the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, how can you personally ride the Hongling fast horse?" Even if you encounter the year of Dafeng, you can send someone to tell you, why bother you all the way. ”

It turned out that this fifty-year-old Hongling urgent envoy turned out to be Wannian County Order, Chang'an has two counties, Chang'an County in the west, and Wannian County in the east, the governors of these two counties are all members of the court, and the eldest grandson Wuji really didn't expect that Wannian County Commander would go out of the customs in person, and he still used Hongling Fast Horse.

Hongling is in a hurry, changing horses without changing people, and the fastest can be 800 miles in one day and one night. The ancient road was so difficult to walk, running 800 miles in one day and one night, and the hard work can be seen

Wannian County ordered people in their fifties to still be able to rush all the way to the outside of the Guan, and for this alone, all the surrounding ministers admired it. You must know that when the ancient people reached fifty, they were basically considered old men.

I saw that the county commander of Wannian was excited, and replied loudly to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Zhao Guogong, I can't do it if I don't come!" It's really a great joy, if you can't tell Your Majesty as soon as possible, the old man can't close his eyes when he sleeps. ”

"Get up and talk!" Li Shimin personally pulled him up and said softly: "I see that you are so happy, I think this year is a year of great harvest, how is the grain harvest in Guanzhong?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Wannian County Commander raised his right hand tremblingly, swallowed his spit, and said: "I'm afraid you won't believe it, the yield per mu is fifty stones, fifty stones!" ”

Hiss –

Li Shimin gasped, and the surrounding ministers were also dumbfounded, and the emperor tightly grabbed the arm of the Wannian County Commander, and asked viciously: "What did you say?" Fifty stones? Are you sure you got the numbers wrong? Even if you produce five stones per mu, I will give you a first-level official ......"

During the Tang Dynasty, the grain output was extremely low, and the general yield per mu was only two or three hundred catties, and it had to be irrigated by the Son of Heaven. One hundred catties is equal to one stone, so the yield per mu is generally about three stones, Li Shimin said that as long as the mu yield of five stones, it is not a lie to give people an official level, because the yield of five stones per mu has been a great harvest throughout the ages.

However, the Wannian County Commander looked firm and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you heard it right, it's really fifty stones, it's really fifty stones." ”

Hiss –

Li Shimin gasped again, although he was an emperor with great talents, he was also dizzy with shock by this number.

What is the concept of Fifty Stone? One acre is 5,000 catties. This figure used to take 30 acres to achieve, but now it is only 1 acre.

Hearing the Wannian County Order, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask for credit to the Marquis of Jingyang, without him cultivating new grain, how can my Datang have a yield of fifty stone of grain per mu?" For thousands of years, the people have been living a bitter life of half a year's grain with bran vegetables, and now they don't need it, and the people don't have to go hungry anymore, no more! ”

He suddenly howled and cried, and said with tears in his eyes: "In the sixth year of the Great Cause of the former Sui Dynasty, there was a great drought in Henan Province, and the red land was thousands of miles, and the people were eaten by their children. The minister's parents starved to death on the streets, and gave the last vegetable dumpling to the minister......"

He cried and screamed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this kind of tragedy will never happen again, the Marquis of Jingyang has cultivated sweet potatoes, and the yield per mu is as high as fifty stones, and the people will no longer have to starve!" The minister wants to give him credit, and the minister wants to give him credit! ”
