Xiao Ruoyuan thought of Yuan Tiangang coming to Tengzhou to avoid the so-called disaster, and looked at the sky speechlessly: What kind of disaster can be avoided for more than half a year? The divination that Du Silang helped calculate should indeed be in Chang'an City. I really want to say that they are all liars, but I have to believe Du Silang's divination... In the words of Prince Teng, it is too fantasy!
Regarding Yuan Tiangang's so-called calamity, it took Li Yuanying about three months to go from being nervous at the beginning to being calm now. He just wanted to say one thing: Not only are fairy tales deceiving, but legends are also deceiving. !
Whether in official historical records or unofficial legends, the names of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are known throughout the Tang Dynasty and later generations as top-notch talents. This book has been banned many times since it was written because its prediction of regime change offended the rulers. Zhuang Jiyu of the Northern Song Dynasty mentioned Tuibeitu in his "Jianri". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Ke (the grandson of Yue Fei) also mentioned Tuibei Tu in the imperial edict of Yi Zu's ban on prophecies. When Yi Zu (Taizu of the Song Dynasty) came to the throne, he issued an imperial edict to ban prophecies, all of which confuse the people's will and impose complex punishments. However, the pictures have been passed down for hundreds of years, and many copies are in private collections among the people. So I ordered to take the old version, arrange it in order and mix it up. The history of the Yuan Dynasty records that Li Qiuzhu, a citizen of Renqiu County in Hejian Province, was found guilty of plotting a rebellion and was executed. He included all the secret possession of astronomical charts and prophecies in the world, Taiyi Lei formula, Qiyao calendar, Tuibei chart, and Miao eunuch calendar. He was guilty of private practices and collection. Of.
Not only were the Song and Yuan dynasties afraid, there were also relevant records in the records of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty. Kong Yongming, the official guest of the Ning Mansion, reported that his brother Ning Wang Dianpei and Yuetui, the king of Shicheng, had lied about each other, and went to Beijing to file a false accusation against him. The Metropolitan Procuratorate Regarding Yongming's crime of crossing the border, please pay him to deal with it according to the censor's previous affairs, and the edict can be issued. Until the period of warlord wars in later generations, a book of holy sighs hand-written seven kinds of Chinese prophecies circulated in the society, including the most famous prophetic works of "predecessors" including Tuibei Tu, Shaobing Song, etc. Brother Xun criticized this, but at the time of September 18th, new printed copies of Tuibei Tu were still being sold in Shanghai.
Of course, many people have researched Tuibei Tu and analyzed and summarized it from various aspects such as version, phonology, and details of pictures and texts. They believe that not only is it not a work of the Tang Dynasty, but it is also a work that has been continuously modified by people of all dynasties. It was popular in later generations to rely on Jin Shengtan's annotations for Tuibei Tu. It can basically be determined that it was only written during the Republic of China. Its content was also unclear and unclear even after the late Qing Dynasty.
But it also proves that the influence of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng is far-reaching and long-lasting, and other so-called gods are not treated like this, such as Ye Fashan, such as Luo Gongyuan, such as the Eight Immortals represented by Zhang Guo, such as Chen Tuan, such as Liu Bowen.
"When Mr. Yuan starts to act, everyone will have no choice but to be defeated." Li Yuanying ignored Tang Jian's gloating, picked up a piece of grilled fish, and said leisurely. "With Mr. Medicine Master sitting in charge, Mr. Tang Fu, Mr. Wei and Mr. Gongsun, why do we need him to run all the way down from Mount Lu to keep an eye on the construction progress of the Ba Bridge?"
Yuan Tiangang is not one of those hermits who just came down from the mountain. He doesn't need to show his presence in front of his second brother. Could it be that something unknown happened?
"The cooperation between the respective Yamen and Yunhe Mansion has not yet reached the point where it is a matter of course." Li Jing glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan and explained softly. "Whether it is Gongsun Bai and Wei Guizang, or Ban Qian, Liu Bu, and Du Che, no one can communicate with other yamen calmly. Only Yuan Gong comes forward to ensure that things can move forward smoothly. Delay the construction period."
Although Yuan Tiangang's temperament does not belong to the old fox type, he has served as the Taishi Ling for nearly ten years and is acquainted with various ministers. They should not go too far... If Yuan Tiangang goes to His Majesty to talk to him, After a few words, they might have to go outside for a while, and it would be difficult to get back to where they are now.
No matter how powerful King Teng's methods of dismantling the family are, it is impossible to tear down all the bureaus. Even if he demolishes them firmly, His Majesty will take action to deal with King Teng without them complaining. Their complaints can add fuel to the fire. If one or two more strong-willed people bump into the Suzaku Gate, Prince Teng will be sent to Lingnan Road and will not be able to return to Chang'an for at least ten years.
A certain person helped Tang Huxu say hello, but it was not good to do it too many times. After all, our position was as an official of Prince Teng's Mansion, not as a subordinate of Yunhe Mansion.
Li Yuanying's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood the so-called strategy above and countermeasures below. If it doesn't work, you can still use the drag technique. To deal with Changsun Wuji and his group of old foxes, you can use the method of tearing down the family. To deal with those ministers, ministers and chief officials, the Supervisory Censor will write to a certain family, wishing they would take off my prince's robe, wear my coarse linen clothes, demote him to a commoner and exile him for three thousand miles, so that they can become famous in one battle. , and then took over the title of Wei Zheng's first criticizer, leaving his name in history. His face straightened slightly, and he asked softly: "Who will I send as the young prisoner?"
"Chu Suiliang and Zhang Xingcheng." Tang Jian said while holding back a smile. After Chu Suiliang received the news, he felt as if he were mourning for his heir. He was so sad that on the second day, Yu Shinan came forward to persuade him. On the third day, he went to Yunhe Mansion as if he had been given blood. As for Zhang Xingcheng, he entered the official position at the end of the previous dynasty as a Chaju and was awarded the title of Yuanwailang. Later, he was the Secretary of Zheng Guodu. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as Gushuwei, Chencangwei, Fuping chief secretary, palace censor, and Geishizhong. Yan Ming perfectly complemented Chu Suiliang, and facilitated friendly, harmonious and fruitful communication with people in various departments and offices.

Li Yuanying: "..."
Chu Xiaoniao deviated from the original historical line and served as the young prisoner of Yunhe Mansion. He should gradually distance himself from Changsun Wuji... right? At least they should not join forces to control the government again, resulting in being demoted to Tanzhou, Guizhou and distant Aizhou (Tanghua, Vietnam), and passing away with regret. After his death, a certain empress did not let him go. On the one hand, he cut off his official title, and on the other hand, he also exiled his descendants to Aizhou... Aizhou, how much have we lost in the war? Is the florist’s inherent territory? Those losers behind are so angry at me!
That Zhang Xingcheng was an old acquaintance with someone. When he was the royal censor in the palace, his eyes were so precise and vicious that even Wei Zheng had his pigtails scratched by him! Because the imperial censor in the palace was in charge of the rituals of worshiping in the palace, the soldiers from all the states in the capital were all subordinated to Yan. Those who are in the main class and are listed outside the closed door, those who leave the class and do not speak quietly. On the first day of the lunar month and on the winter solstice, people would ride horses, wear black clothes and go up to the palace. If you are lucky enough to patrol, you will be inspecting those who have lost cultural relics within the gate flag.
Brother deliberately cheated someone!
"The more important responsibility of the two of them is to prevent someone from doing whatever he wants, right?" Although Li Yuanying's tone was questioning, his expression was very determined. If we were to talk about who held the most pigtails in the entire Tang Dynasty, Chu Suiliang and Zhang Xingcheng would definitely rank in the top three.
Li Jing opened a river crab with its claws cut off. The white crab meat was shining with the luster of white jade, and the translucent crab paste and bright golden crab roe made people move their index fingers... Eat it with a plate of ginger and vinegar. The taste is even better. After eating half of the crab, he suppressed a smile and reminded: "My lord, you are currently in Tengzhou, and they are far away in Chang'an, and their hands are not that long."
When the Overlord Bridge is built, those two will become the real officials of the Yunhe Mansion. They will use all their firepower to attack those who seize on trivial matters, speak nonsense and slander Yunhe without any knowledge. People from the government.
"Mr. Medicine Master, this has nothing to do with the length of their hands. Even if they are very cooperative with the affairs of Yunhe Mansion, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart." Li Yuanying also broke open a river crab and rolled his eyes very intelligently. Said casually. This feeling is just like when you were in school. Even the best student, even the most disciplined and well-behaved student, would not like the senior classmate who suddenly came to the back door to spy on everyone during evening self-study.
Li Jing: "..."
I cannot tell His Majesty about this situation. Chu Suiliang and Zhang Xingcheng are indeed the most suitable candidates to assist Yunhe Mansion and establish friendly and effective communication with other yamen. Your Majesty does not need to worry that they will offend Prince Teng and be kicked out of Yunhe Mansion, nor does he need to worry that they will indulge Prince Teng's mischief without any principle.
"My lord, have you sent the Yellow River carp back to Chang'an? The meat is really good." Tang Jian decided to change the topic, put away his theatrical expression, and asked gently.
If something happens, the disciple will do his job; if there is wine and food, the teacher will eat the food; the eldest brother is like the father, so King Teng should send fish to Chang'an. It's not like he doesn't know how to transport live fish.
"Yesterday evening, King Xu had already boarded the small boat to send fish back to Chang'an. He should be arriving at Qujiang Pool now." Li Yuanying mixed the crab meat, crab paste and crab roe into the freshly fried rice, and placed it on the plate. There are two small pieces of Swiss charcoal below, which is better than the teppanyaki of later generations. With the stirring of the bamboo spatula, the crab roe is perfectly wrapped on the rice grains. The attractive golden color reveals the aroma of new rice and the oily aroma of wild boar meat. Sprinkle with evenly sized cucumber grains...picked freshly. Fresh cucumbers are peeled and cored, and only the parts with the same hardness are used. They are cut into pieces from peony. Compared with rice grains, the size difference cannot be seen with the naked eye. Finally, sprinkle with tender chives, which tie the flavors together, and you're done with crab roe fried rice.
Li Jing and Tang Jian: "..."
No wonder His Majesty is eager to let us come over. Prince Teng’s style of doing things is becoming more and more refined, and it is also so refined that he gradually seems to be running in the direction of bt...
Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun had the opposite idea. They each wanted a portion of the same fried rice and followed Li Yuanying's steps to make it... Although the appearance was not as good as what he made, the taste was extremely delicious. When the two of them were eating the second portion, Li Jing and Tang Jian curiously asked for another portion, and then... everyone ate fried rice together.
After drinking and eating, several people sat in a row on the deck chairs, admiring the starry sky in Ohnoze. The palace was not surrounded by water. The person who was sent to build the palace by a certain most famous Emperor Yang was quite reliable and calculated. When the Yellow River breaks its banks and floods occur.
"When Mr. Yuan comes over and redefines and dredges the river channels, we can transport the products of Qilu to Luoyang and Chang'an, and then transport them to various countries in the Western Regions by merchants." Li Yuanying touched his slightly bulging stomach and sighed with satisfaction. .
The Tang Dynasty must learn a certain lesson from later generations. Each state capital...at least each province must be differentiated. It cannot be from south to north or from east to west. The specialty products are extremely homogeneous and all come from a certain place. Wu Commodity City. When I was traveling, I wanted to buy some unique small items. The so-called hand-woven tapestry I bought in Shiwei and the hand-woven pendant I bought at the most beautiful place in the world were put together. Except for the slightly different patterns, there was nothing else. the difference.
The reasons for redefining the river course are simpler. First, it is to avoid flooding, which will affect the people on both sides of the river. Second, it is to prevent the river from lacking water and silting up, making it unnavigable and having to be abandoned. Both problems occurred in later generations of the Grand Canal. In the end, due to siltation problems, it could only be used as a tourist attraction.
"Xunzhen and Qinlu became famous because of their production; Luzhen and Qiwan received their honors through Xinjiang." Yu Shinan also rubbed his stomach gently and asked curiously. "My lord, aren't you worried about what happened to Lu Jinchulu?"
Guan Zhong served as the Prime Minister of the State of Qi for more than 40 years. Not only did he have Lu and Chulu, but also Hengshan's conspiracy, Yinli's conspiracy, Jingmao's conspiracy, etc., which made Qi's national power flourish and assisted Duke Huan of Qi to become The first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period... King Teng crazily hinted at a plan to destroy Gaochang. It is impossible that he did not consider that a similar situation might occur in the states of Henan Province.
Tang Jian's eyes flashed slightly, thinking of Xu Jiao who went to Lingnan to look for new rice, Cui Renshi who planted medlars in Guazhou, Fang Renyu who planted trees in Yazhou, and red persimmons and red persimmons planted in Sinong Temple. Sun Simiao and Li Wei from Radish, Chili, and Bai Diezi... said softly: "Bo Shi, population, have you ever thought about the difference between today's population and the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Less than 20 million, including all slaves and others, the population has now exceeded 30 million from the 25 million in the early Zhenguan period...not including the nearly 2 million people who returned to Tang from the north. , as well as the unregistered population gathered by various gentry clans
... Wait, he sat up straight and looked at Li Yuanying in surprise, and asked: "My lord, do you want those families to free the unregistered people? This is... almost impossible."
In the past, Emperor Wen of the dynasty, and even the earlier Han dynasty, had thought of countless ways to release their population, but that was the basis for their family's self-preservation, and no one would destroy their own fortresses and cornerstones.
"What if we can exchange for part of the cargo transportation rights of steam ships and steam cars?" Li Yuanying turned to look at Tang Jian, showing his white teeth and said with a bright smile. The released population was resettled in other places, given household registration and farmland, and someone taught the rhythm of Tangli... The rhythm of Tangli's rhythm can be severed in three generations at most. According to the current development speed of the Tang Dynasty, it will not take three generations, but fifteen years. No one wants to be a slave for generations.
Tang Jian: "..."
Black, so dark. Cutting other people's flesh, others would take the initiative to come to your door and beg to be cut. Just because in exchange you get not only the right to transport goods, but also the timely transmission of news. Such a great temptation, no noble family and aristocrats can do it. The local wealthy family can refuse! As long as they release half of the population, Datang's various construction projects can be carried out smoothly, not to mention planting new rice and Baidiezi.
Li Jing looked at the stars in the sky and silently sympathized with the families who were being slaughtered again. To be honest, even his family Danyang Fang and his family could not stop them from eagerly wanting to exchange for the right to transport goods. Because this is a conspiracy, an honest plan against each family, just like the right to sign the road, they are unable to refuse.
Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun looked at each other and smiled. The wind was refreshing tonight...
