What is the concept of Fifty Stones?An acre is five thousand catties.This figure used to take [-] acres to achieve, but now it is only one acre of output.
Er heard Wannian County magistrate said loudly: "Your Majesty, this minister wants to give credit to the Marquis of Jingyang. Without him, how could I produce [-] stone of grain per mu? For thousands of years, the people have been living a life of The bitter days of half a year's food are no longer needed, and the common people will no longer have to suffer from hunger, no longer!"
He suddenly burst into tears, and his tears flowed: "In the sixth year of the great cause of the former Sui Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Henan, and the red land was thousands of miles away, and the people changed their children to eat. "
He cried and cried, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this kind of tragic incident will never happen again. The Marquis of Jingyang has cultivated sweet potatoes, and the yield per mu is as high as [-] stone, and the people will no longer have to go hungry! The minister wants to invite him Gong, the minister wants to give him merit!"
Chapter 210 You can't seal the prince, what about the prince?
People really don't have to go hungry!
The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is [-] jin. Although it is weighed with water content, it still weighs [-] jin after drying, which is ten shi.The most important thing is that sweet potatoes can be stored in cellars, and the common people are definitely not willing to dry them before eating them. In this case, one mu of land can satisfy a strong man's one-year ration.
In many places in the Tang Dynasty, each male could get [-] acres of Yongye Field.
What is this concept?
Every [-] acres, a family of five is hundreds of acres of land, even if all the sweet potatoes are dried into dried sweet potatoes, the output of grain is not only [-] catties, but [-] catties.
This number seems absurd, but the Wannian magistrate patted his chest and told the emperor that it was not fake at all.
"Your Majesty, Guanzhong is busy now, and the people are happy, but they are also complaining. In the past, everyone was worried about the lack of food, but now there is too much food!"
He glanced at Li Shimin, and then said: "For example, there is a family under my rule. There are four people in total, an old father, an old mother, and two young grandchildren. Her family has a total of [-] mu of land, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is [-] catties. Your Majesty, that day The minister led the yamen servants to patrol their fields, and the two old men were crying while guarding the field, not for the famine, but for the food. There are eighty acres of sweet potatoes, and even the two old men can't finish harvesting even if they are exhausted..."
"Where are the children? Don't the two old people have any children?" Li Shimin was both happy and angry. He was happy because of the bumper harvest and angry because he heard that the people were old and homeless.
Wannian county magistrate whispered: "This old couple had three sons. When His Majesty attacked Hebei, all three of his sons died in battle."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his face was red and changed, and it took a long time before he sighed: "I, I am ashamed!"
"Your Majesty!" Wannian County magistrate suddenly folded his hands and said in a hurry: "Now is not the time to recall the past, the reason why the minister rushed out of the customs regardless of his old age, firstly, to report the joy of Dafeng, the main purpose is to invite Your Majesty, hurry up to find a way, a bumper harvest of food, and there is a shortage of manpower in Guanzhong!"
"It's easy to deal with lack of people!" The emperor is the emperor, and his aura is by no means comparable to that of a county magistrate of ten thousand years. Li Shimin waved his hand heavily and said loudly: "Pass on my will and order the Chang'an garrison to drop everything and participate in the agricultural harvest."
His eyes were bright, and the brightness was a little scary, and then he said: "Not only the ordinary guards are going, but the Qianniuwei stationed in the palace, the emperor's right and left soldiers are going to go, and the common people have the greatest food and clothing. The Marquis of Jingyang has painstakingly cultivated New food, the crops that the common people have painstakingly planted, I can't let it rot into the ground."
In ancient times, food was life!There is food at home, so don't panic.The captive army needs food, and the frontier expansion also needs food.
This bumper harvest in Guanzhong made Li Shimin's waist suddenly extremely hard. Since ancient times, all emperors, whether Qin Shihuang or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, have had headaches for the people's lack of food. Only Li Shimin is different. He is worried about too much food. .
"Zhen, who is destined to be famous for the ages, to shine in the history books!" Li Shimin's heart was hot.
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the grain harvest is huge, and the treasury is naturally abundant. When the grain harvest is over, I ask Your Majesty to issue a war order, and the grassland Turkic clan should be wiped out."
"Hahaha, very good!" Li Shimin laughed in the sky and said excitedly: "The words of Wuji won my heart!"
The emperor turned his eyes to the north, as if he was going to cross the vast grassland to reach the Turks' sweat tent, and he said coldly: "Jieli, three years ago, you invaded the Central Plains and invaded all the way to the banks of the Weishui River, which is only fifty miles away from our Chang'an. How high-spirited you were with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under your command that day? But have you ever imagined that in less than three years, I will kill you back."
The Weishui Alliance is a humiliation that will never be erased from Li Shimin's heart.
Although the war didn't start at that time, Datang was forced to pay compensation every year. If it wasn't for Han Yue's various tactics, Li Shimin was really afraid that he would not survive that crisis.
Now, he finally wants to raise his eyebrows and show his ambition!
Guanzhong has a great harvest, not only will the people no longer worry about starvation, but the imperial treasury will also be full.Since ancient times, there have been no flukes between countries. Whoever has enough food and grass is the dominant one in the world.
……
……
The magistrate of Wannian suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, this minister wants to give merit to the Marquis of Jingyang. Without his painstaking cultivation, where would my Tang Dynasty be filled with treasuries? Ancient sages once said that those who nurture the world are the merits of all ages. The minister suggested , Your Majesty can add the title of the Marquis of Jingyang, and change the marquis to the duke!"
hiss--
He asked Han Yue for credit again, and the surrounding officials gasped.Proposing to make a 17-year-old boy the Duke of the State, the magistrate of Wannian really dared to say so.
However, Li Shimin was beaming, and he was a little moved to see that the posture was similar.
Wang Gui shouted and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang can't even achieve great feats. He hasn't reached the crown this year, so how can he be named Duke? If you insist on doing things your own way, the old minister will scold you for being a fool."
This old man took the post of a doctor of remonstrance, and only he and Wei Zheng had the right to remonstrate in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
After all, that's what his position is.
Li Shimin was furious, and said: "Old man Wang Gui, bullying me soft-hearted? What about Dr. Jianyi, I can adjust..."
The eldest grandson Wuji stepped out of the crowd and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Jingyang can't be named a prince, he can give other rewards! He is now planning the affairs of Liaodong, and a military chief of Hebei Province can still give it! "
hiss--
The ministers looked at each other in dismay, and they all cursed in their hearts that this guy is ruthless!
The prince is only a lord, but the marching general is the real power.
There are only eleven roads in the Tang Dynasty, and the Hebei Road has the most extensive jurisdiction. In theory, the entire north of the Yellow River, the south of the East China Sea, and the western Liaoning and northern Liaoning are all under the jurisdiction of the Hebei Road.
"Hey, as expected of my uncle, help my nephew to ask for rights without even blinking, whichever place is the biggest!"
Cheng Yaojin laughed a few times in his heart, and the guy's eyes suddenly turned, and he jumped out and shouted: "There is an ancestor system in ancient times, young people can't be named princes, but they can be named kings! Which of the few underage princes under your majesty is not? Sealed the prince? Let my old Cheng see, it is better for your majesty to seal the prince of Jingyang to play with..."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
Wang Gui was enraged, and loudly rebuked: "Lu Guogong is so daring, the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to be named a king unless the surname is Li. You actually suggested that Han Yue should be named a king. This statement clearly has the intention of treason!"
Lao Cheng laughed and said shamelessly: "Is it considered treason to be named a king? When I was a bandit and a demon king, I became the emperor of the [-] days on Wagang Mountain, and even His Majesty said that this should be our share, you old man. How old is the one who doesn't die? You dare to come out and make noise with me, if you are not convinced, we will face off!"
Wang Gui's angry beard fluttered!
Let the old man fight you one-on-one, can you say this?
Chapter 211 Li Shimin bestowed the emperor sword
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the opposite sex Wang Feng gave two people, one was Luo Yi, the king of Yan, and the other was Du Fuwei, the king of Wu.These are the only two princes of the opposite sex in the Tang Dynasty. The reason why they were able to be crowned kings was because they accepted the surname given by the Li family.
Luo Yi, king of Yan, changed his name to Li Yi!
Wu Wang Du Fuwei, renamed Li Fuwei!
Lao Cheng continued to shout: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang can't make the Duke of the country, so you can make him a king. Lao Cheng felt that this matter is very simple, it is nothing more than asking the empress to come forward, recognize Han Yue as the adopted son of the moth, and change his surname. Just fine."
All the ministers around nodded slowly. Although Cheng Yaojin was a hobgoblin, he was shrewd in speaking and doing things. His proposal was very reliable.
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile on his face: "I passed the Duke directly from the Marquis, and changed the title to the prince. Tsk tsk, Cheng Zhijie has always been making a fool of himself. I didn't expect this time to give a good suggestion. The old man admires..."
"Of course you admire it, then Han Yue is clearly your nephew, and you wish he could be crowned king!" Wang Gui's face was ashen with anger, but he couldn't refute it.
No way, Cheng Yaojin's proposal is reasonable.
