Li Jing thought of Li Shenfu's dissatisfaction with Fang Du and others, and twitched the corner of his mouth, with a smile full of sympathy, and said: "Xiaotong, come and sit with me, and I will tell you about the events in Kuizhou back then. "
Not everyone can see the long-term future. Even if the Xuan Road has been built to Xicheng, in the eyes of Li Xiaotong, or in the eyes of most people, Prince Teng came to Jinzhou to be the governor, as long as he was coaxed not to cause trouble or danger. . A year and a half later, they left peacefully... Even if they took away four hundred cars, equipment, and servers, they would be considered successful and retired.
Li Xiaotong stood up, walked quickly to Li Jing's short couch, sat on the lower floor, held gifts from his son and nephew, poured wine and picked vegetables, diligent and orderly.
"Chang'an and Luoyang can be reached by water in one day." Li Jing picked up his wine glass and sighed softly. "Don't talk about what Mr. Yuan did. How long has it been since Mr. Yuan joined the Taishi Bureau? Four years."
Li Chunfeng entered the Taishi Bureau earlier, in the first year of Zhenguan, but his task was to sit in Ninghui Pavilion and watch the stars. Today there is war in the southwest, tomorrow there is a plague in the east, and the day after tomorrow the lone wolf appears in the north... Haha, he is still used to watch the stars. You have been leading troops in wars for so many years, but you still don’t know that those foreign countries that pay tribute are like wolf cubs, spying on the Tang Dynasty at any time?
If His Majesty did not understand them, he would not have kept missing the Gaochang envoys, nor would he have agreed to attack Tibet and Goguryeo without hesitation.
Li Xiaotong glanced at Li Yuanying, who was squinting at the piano player, and shook his head. It couldn't be his little brother anyway. He put some fish fillets on the plate and whispered, "Please ask the pharmacist to teach me."
"Then watch more and talk less, and don't stop Prince Teng from doing things." Li Jing picked up the fish fillets, dipped them in the spicy and sour garlic oil, and concentrated on eating. Not only is this person even more stupid than the donkey in Guizhou, but what is even more disgusting is that old man Li Shenfu, who did not even tell the truth to his subordinates.
Li Yuanying looked at the scenery of Bashan on both sides of the bank, patted the eucalyptus and sang: "The river is green and bright, as vast as the balance. It winds to the end of Bashan, swaying with Chu clouds. The snow shines on the sand and geese gather, and the flowers fly out of the valley orioles. But Fangzhou has turned, and the blue sky The trees welcome you. Qu Sanniang, how are the landscapes of our Tang Dynasty?"
"You liar! You scoundrel! You scoundrel!" Qu Sanniang stopped the pipa in her hand and said angrily. "If you have the ability, ask that old man Sun to give the slave the antidote, hold swords against the slave, frown, and I will be willing to be your slave and never betray you!"
The dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty treated a girl in such a nasty way. What is the difference between him and the barbarians of Western Turks? Datang, bah!
"It's a beautiful idea." Li Yuanying picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely. "You know that your future is uncertain, and you want to take the opportunity to stay in Prince Teng's Mansion, at least without worries about food and clothing. Don't think about using aggressive tactics. The last person who used aggressive tactics on a certain person is now feeling the passion of the wind, rain and scorching sun in Yazhou."
Master Cui Ren needs to sing the passionate desert. You give me little raindrops to nourish my heart. I give you a little breeze to blow open your flowers... Sun Gong has found out that Guazhou is suitable for growing wolfberry and sea buckthorn, and you can also plant red willows in it. Both sides of the river. Sinong Temple is also very efficient in doing things. It has planted many sea buckthorn, sand willow, tamarisk and other wind-proof and sand-fixing plants in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
They have done well enough, and Populus euphratica does not need to rush to guide them to find it. With the construction of roads and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty clearing the Western Regions, they can be found in up to three years.
"Brother, Fang Renyu sent another letter to Chang'an three days ago." When Li Xiaotong heard about Yazhou, he put down the glass in his hand and said hurriedly. "I'll give them to the Prime Minister again. This time there are eight letters in total."
Li Yuanying blinked. At this time, the main types of paper used in the Tang Dynasty were hemp, rattan, and Pu. The paper used for official documents was mainly hemp paper. The imperial edicts, memorials and other documents were all made of white hemp paper. ; To appease the military, use jute paper. Rattan is second only to hemp. The difference in usage is that white rattan paper is used for edicts of granting, recruiting, announcing, and punishing. Ivy rattan paper is used for edicts recommending Taoist temples in the Taiqing Palace. Yellow rattan paper is used for edicts, edicts on matters, and edicts. Paper. At the same time, the literati in the two capitals also praised each other with rattan paper. Therefore, in the twelve o'clock period, it is said that the cane bark of the Yan River in Yuezhou has been cut off, and the officials have no paper to update the household registration list, purely to serve the plot of the story. Rattan paper itself is not for low-level officials, it is a high-end product. The quality of Chu paper has not yet become mainstream in official circles. It is mainly used as a supplement to other papers. It is mainly used for five-color golden flower damask paper, Xue Tao dark red small colored paper and other letter paper. Its beauty lies in the color, not the material. Then the question arises, "Brother, is there good paper in Yazhou?"
"There are not many people there, how can anyone know how to make paper?" Li Xiaotong shook his head and said. "The paper he used to write on was Yizhou white linen paper brought from Chang'an, which was as smooth as spring ice and as dense as cocoons. It just showed signs of being soaked in water."
Li Yuanying looked at the sky speechlessly. He had been sent thousands... thousands of miles away, and he didn't forget to bring the white linen paper with him. I took all the trouble and took it away, and then used it to write endless letters of complaint. Is there something wrong with my brain? Looking at Cui Xingzong, he ordered: "Write a letter to the prime minister and tell him that a certain nianfang governor has worked hard to plant trees and give him three measures of Persian dates (date palms). Then write to Sun Gong and ask him to choose dates suitable for planting. , I hope that in a few years, Yazhou can also pay tribute to Persian dates to the dynasty."
During the Western Han Dynasty, Persian dates followed Zhang Jian on his mission to the Western Regions and were introduced to flower growers, but no one was seen planting them.
Tang Jian frowned slightly, looked at Li Yuanying, and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, please be merciful if you have to. Fang Xuanling won't intercede for him, so why do you need to drop another stone?"
Sanmenxia has just been successfully dredged in front of him, and Prince Teng is in the limelight, so Fang Qiao will naturally not do anything useless. It's just that things always go wrong. Prince Teng's restless temper may be difficult to resolve if he adds insult to injury.
"Tang Fu, I really care about Governor Fang." Li Yuanying said with a particularly sincere expression. "Three buckets of Persian dates cost a lot of money. The sun is shining brightly in Yazhou, and eating Persian dates will make you a little happier."
Tang Jian: "..."
If your expression was not so sincere, I would believe you a little more. In the past month, Mr. Sun was deceived by your sincere expression and ran around, either in Mobei or the Western Regions... The amount of sand shaken off when he came back was not even a bucket.
Ouyang Xun's eyes flashed slightly, thinking about the paper issue discussed before, and asked softly: "Who did you hear that Persian date trees can make paper?"
Tang Jian and Li Jing also looked at Li Yuanying. We basically meet every day. Have we never heard similar news?
"Ahem," Li Yuanying coughed twice uncomfortably and said in a low voice. "Well...Hu Ji said that they would use the leaves of Persian dates to make short clothes in summer to keep cool at night."
The voice became smaller and smaller, becoming inaudible. Of course, the original words were not like this, they were more... colored. Hu Ji is none other than the European-style Dapingshuang who first sold Li Yuanying ivory pine nuts (Chapter 30). The shopkeeper was extremely kind. After Li Yuanying opened his house, he sent the European-style Dapingshuang to bring various specialties as congratulatory gifts, each in small quantities. He showed just the right amount of hospitality and at the same time promoted related specialties. Da Pingshuang, a European-style man, speaks very voluptuously... he is open and bright. You can chat with him a few times and tell stories about the customs of various countries in the Western Regions.
...One who listens attentively and the other who speaks attentively is like a yellow eagle catching a kite's foot, and the conversation becomes more carefree.
Tang Jian and Li Jing had seen women in Fanbang wearing only animal skins, and they immediately understood what Li Yuanying was saying, and were deeply worried about his situation after the crown... The late emperor was sixty-two years old, and he had a son in his old age. , he was named Ying, which shows his affection. The treatment given to Secret King Yuanxiao was so far away from this that it made people... somewhat chilling. When the late emperor was lingering on his sickbed, he had already got up and went to Guozhou to take up his post... In fact, he was just over a year older than Prince Teng.
...I'm a little biased, but judging from Prince Teng's current performance, I'm afraid he's more capable than the late Emperor. He is not burdened by busy political affairs, leaving things to his subordinates, and no one will criticize him!
"Your Majesty, that Hu Ji... has ulterior motives. It's not appropriate to see her again." Tang Jian crossed his hands and bowed, and advised seriously.
Li Yuanying nodded and said: "Tang Fu, I will never see her again in the future. She left for her hometown five days ago to prepare for getting married. I gave her two golden hairpins as a congratulatory gift."
At that time, she was so moved that she gave someone a hug... She was a very generous woman.
Tang Jian: "..."
Two golden hairpins as a gift? I really want to shake Prince Teng’s shoulders and wake him up! Someone discovered the shortcomings of the late emperor and His Majesty, and Prince Teng perfectly inherited them!
Back then, His Majesty gave Yuan Sanniang two beaded hairpins and exchanged them for a hug... I wonder what Prince Teng got? She glanced over and took a look at his thin body... I guess she also exchanged a hug.
...Li Jiaerlang is really rich! Turning to look at the other Li Jiaerlang, why can't he learn from the pharmacist? Just rely on his face... his appearance is magnificent, and let Mrs. Hong... run at night. This is the right way to open up the son of the Li family!
"Tang Fox, what do you mean by that look?!" Li Jing was a little frightened by Tang Jian's look and looked at him warily and asked.
Tang Jian let out a long sigh and said sadly: "I just thought of the old things in Taiyuan, and also thought of the deep love between you and your wife."
He glanced at Li Yuanying, who looked confused, and shook his head. Prince Teng had no chance to rely on his reputation to find his wife.
Li Yuanying was also shaken by Tang Jian and was so frightened that he put down the Kuaizi in his hand, protected his chest with both hands, and said: "Fu Tang, you say what you want to say directly. It makes people feel uncomfortable to say half-finished words like this."
Of course, Li Jing and his wife were deeply in love, but it was a free love that would last forever and get married at night!
After listening to Tang Jian's words, Li Jing also looked at Li Yuanying. After the evaluation, he said softly: "The prince looks good. Although the princess and the concubine have already been decided, there is still no problem in marrying a concubine based on his reputation. The premise is that he If you want to modify it for travel and use the prince's car to travel, then it's not just about appearance."
Li Yuanying: "..."
Can you just be individuals? A certain person is only eleven years old! Eleven years old!
Li Xiaotong looked at the sky speechlessly. You just tolerated it without admonishing me. You even encouraged your little brother to find a beauty. I want to write a memorial to impeach you!
