Note on Zhenguan’s daily life: In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the twelfth year, the emperor sent more than 500 craftsmen with outstanding skills to Tengzhou to build a pavilion for King Teng on the banks of Nansi Lake.
In early November of the twelfth year, the emperor sent more than 300 craftsmen with outstanding skills to Tengzhou to build a villa for King Teng in Hongze Lake.
"Aye, I also want to go to Tengzhou to meet my uncle~" Princess Jinyang heard that Li Shimin was sending the craftsman to Tengzhou again, and she said softly and coquettishly while tugging on his sleeve. Although it is important to tear down the wall,... I haven't seen my uncle for three months and I miss him very much.
Li Shimin thought of the news that Li Yuanying had just received...if it weren't for a big wedding to be held, he wouldn't want to leave the Sumo River estuary at all. Li Shiji, Cheng Zhijie and Niu Jinda didn't want to leave either. The Flying Ax Guard became the official staff of the Andong Protectorate, and they were very busy cutting down trees and mining in the Daxianbei Mountains. They also wanted to wait until the ice and snow melted in spring before continuing their journey north... They raised their hands and gently rubbed the top of their daughter's head, laughing softly: "Tengzhou is in chaos right now. They are either demolishing houses or walls, or building roads and docks. , after he comes back and gets married, when the spring flowers bloom, let's go to Tengzhou together and go to Guangye Ze to see if the sun rises in the east and rains in the west?"
Li Shiji suggested that the Daxianbei Mountains should be changed to the Xing'an Mountains, and the Sumo River should be changed to the Songhua River. He also sent a half-que poem: The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside Xing'an, there is nothing but vastness; the pine trees and flowers above and below suddenly lose their torrents. The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the original wax figure wants to compete with God. On a sunny day, it is particularly charming to see the red clothes and plain clothes.
Haha, if Li Shiji could write such a poem, someone would immediately make him a bachelor of Hongwenguan and concurrently serve as the crown prince! It is estimated that at most the words "Northern Landscape" came from his clumsy tongue.
"Then I'll go to the Su Mansion to meet my little aunt!" Princess Jinyang said a little excitedly, thinking of Su Erniang's sword skills. Anyway, if the Japanese baby doesn’t tear down the walls today, I am also a person with a temper, hum ╯^╰!
Li Shimin glanced at Guyu, Xiagua, Dongguo and Pei Shiqi who were standing silently aside, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Go, and let your attendants rest for a few days."
Princess Jinyang made a "click" sound, kissed Li Shimin's cheek, and ran towards her bedroom like a baby swallow returning to the forest. While running, she waved her little hands and said with a smile: "Here, I'm going to the greenhouse to pick up the food." A gift for my little aunt~"
Guyu and others hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin, took three steps back, followed Princess Jinyang, and left the West Side Hall... There is a special door leading to the greenhouse behind the princess's bedroom, so there is no need to go around.
The west side hall suddenly became deserted, and the warm and cute atmosphere was swept away, turning into as solemn and cold as the east side hall... Li Shimin looked at the low couch where Li Yuanying often lay, feeling a little sad and helpless. He said: "Send a message to King Teng. Princess Jinyang once again proposed to go to Tengzhou. I can't stop her anymore and ask her to return to Chang'an as soon as possible."
It’s definitely not that I miss that Zhuzi. He can play in the ice and snow. He is happy to miss his brother and his daughter... Should I go to Xianling Mausoleum again? Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Guo are with him, so there is no need to worry about safety issues, but...will Cheng Zhijie make him a gangster? This issue needs to be considered...
…
"Close the net!" Cheng Zhijie, who was wearing a bearskin cloak, waved the ax in his hand like a black bear, shouting in a loud and confident voice.
As the horses turned the gallows, long nets were drawn. There were no fish in the first pull, but fish started to come out in the second pull. When the fish came out, the fish hanging on the net were pulled directly to the ice with the net. The soldiers cheered and picked the fish, and the fish floating at the mouth of the net were fished out with a fishing rod. In the end, more fish were concentrated in the belly of the net due to the fish being driven out with each pull. The net belly is a pocket at the back end of the net. A net belly can hold up to hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fish. After catching the fish in the net, the net was pulled out of the ice. The lively scene of fish jumping and people running on the ice made the Shiwei people, Sumo people, Heishui people and Tunguska people who were fishing not far away changed their minds. You have to be more obedient. Goguryeo's general officer said: The Tang Dynasty is protected by the gods, and only by surrendering to the Tang Dynasty can you survive!
The most shocking thing was the people of Shiwei who hunted, ate meat, clothing and skin, dug ice to submerge themselves in the water and netted fish and turtles. For three days in a row, the people of the Tang Dynasty changed the nets of fish from the lake every day, and netted fish that they had never seen before... in their dreams. Fish Mountain that I have never dreamed of!
"Mr. Yuan, what's your fishing method?" Li Yuanying, wearing a fox fur and a mink hat, said with a casual and lazy smile, holding his hands.
Although artillery is easy to use, don't use it too much, it's just a small amount of money. Besides, someone from later generations has heard since he was a child that fifty-six flowers are grouped into fifty-six flowers, and each one blooms in the sunshine. What's more important is that they don't even have dendrites yet, and developing the black land requires a lot of manpower. Instead of wasting cannon fodder, it is better to educate with force and assimilate with culture. The beautiful black land and even a certain lake further north have always been the inherent territory of flower growers. Internal conflicts are best resolved internally, as long as they don't turn into bows and arrows, or pigtails like rat tail juice, our goal is Ula Ula!
Of course, if you want to go south with iron heel... you can't forget that Fatty An who danced the Hu Xuan Dance. We will not be stingy about showing off our muscles, convincing people with reason, and convincing people with virtue.
Yuan Tiangang glanced at the foreigners who were as docile as sheep, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Some things have been seen too much, and there are no more secrets."

There is also that tooth-ache-inducing memorial speech. I wonder if Your Majesty will jump after receiving it? Anyway, someone's head and body were full of thoughts: Ah, the Khan of Heaven, above the middle sky; Ah! The Khan of Heaven, the Emperor of Wuji; ah! Heavenly Khan protects all living beings and brings peace to all ages. Xing'an Lake, the divine mirror of the Emperor of Heaven; Xing'an Lake, the eyes of Hou Tu, all living things can continue to multiply! Let’s offer the gift of ninety-nine and the sincerity of all the people. There are layers of ice flowers on the lake, and the elves from all directions are flashing. Present nine sticks of sandalwood, nine sticks of green pine, nine khatas, and nine kinds of offerings; ah! Thousands of miles of ice-covered Wangji Lake, thousands of hectares of lake surface compete with each other.
After offering sacrifices to the lake, the fisherman arranged by King Teng took the fishing rod in his hand, stirred it a few times in the ice hole that had been dug, lifted it up hard, and fished out a lively fat fish from the lake. The fish, named Kaihutou fish, was tied with a vermilion ribbon. Along with one-tenth of the fish caught on the first day, it was sent to Chang'an... Will His Majesty collapse? I don't know. Looking at that Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine pounds of fish were loaded into the car, and someone almost collapsed!
Who would have thought that just catching fish here would be so terrifying and terrifying? What was loaded onto the car was not only fish, but also many other supplies. Prince Teng's purpose was simple, to impress His Majesty, and then send a certain prince to serve as the Great Protector.
"Mr. Yuan, have you ever thought about why they always want to invade the south?" Li Yuanying glanced at Niu Jinda, who was still excited. His real name was Niu Xiu, and his nickname was Jinda. The epitaph was written with great literary talent: weak and bizarre, long and outstanding. . If you fail to learn calligraphy, you will lose your sword energy in the fight; if you leave the small details, you will be harmed by the sinking current. These are not the key points. The key point is that in a certain novel, there is You Junda among the sworn brothers in Wagang Mountain. The prototype is Niu Jinda, known as the Iron-faced Judge. Cheng robbed Huang Gang. In the book, Cheng Yaojin listened to You Junda's deceptions everywhere, but in real history it was just the opposite. Among their group, Lao Cheng was the one who took charge.
In the original historical line, Niu Jinda led his army to Songzhou as a vanguard, attacked the Tibetan military camp under cover of night, and beheaded more than a thousand people. Now, because my brother was worried that Xue Wanche would massacre the city in Goguryeo, the two of them changed their positions and still served as the vanguard, destroying all the way to the domestic city. After reuniting with Lao Cheng, Xiong Zhi went down the mountain and captured the most prisoners with the least casualties, providing strong human resource support for the construction of the Black Mountain Terminal.
Before Yuan Tiangang could answer, Zhang Guo said first: "The war between the Three Kingdoms resulted in a sharp decrease in the population. Wei and Jin both recruited Wuhu. There are more than a million people in Guanzhong, and they lead a small number. Half of them are Rongdi, not my race. His heart must be different."
Li Yuanying: "..."
You're a tomb robber, can you speak more politely? Someone also said that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Fanlu centered on the Confucianism of the Lu State, and combined the Legalist system of the Qin State, the Huang-Lao art and Guanzi economy of the Qi State, the culture and art of the Chu State, the Zongheng Xingming of Han and Wei, and the Yan and Zhao The military system was integrated into one, and mixed with the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and the theory of "grand unification" was proposed. From then on, the Han people's view came into being. The Han people, to be more precise, are a nation constructed through a political system.
Before and after the five masters of Han Zhao and Hou Zhao came to power, they used prophecies to promote the legal status of their respective regimes. They did not continue their original tribe's old habit of herding horses in the Central Plains. Instead, they adopted the Han ritual system, regarded themselves as Zhongxia, and called other Hu people Rong. Di, called the Southern Dynasty regime "island barbarians". In their view, Sinicization neither places special emphasis on blood nor culture, but rather on political identity, such as whether one is a citizen or a barbarian in the household registration system that is not governed by the Central Plains, and whether one is a barbarian or a barbarian.
... I can talk to you for three days and three nights, and tear your brains into lakes of pulp, but those are not the most basic reasons. The most basic reasons are the Little Ice Age and the struggle for the right to survive.
He looked at the burly young man who was adding firewood to the fire and said, "Qiqi Zhongxiang, come and tell Mr. Zhang what you usually do and what you eat?"
The boy, who was only one year older than Li Yuanying, was half a head taller than him. He wore a bearskin coat and looked like a young brown bear. Somewhat cautiously, he learned to cross his arms and said in a low voice: "Hunting, grazing, cutting grass, skinning, and eating."
Zhang Guo: "..."
How is this different from the people of the Tang Dynasty? It's just that they replaced it with farming, picking mulberry, weaving and eating.
Li Yuanying saw the blank eyes of Zhang Guo and Yuan Tiangang, and took out a hand... To be honest, it was really cold. Even if the Tang Dynasty was in a typical warm period at this time, the Northern... Great Wilderness was still very cold. There are not many people living there, and there are no industries or developed oil fields. Pointing to the surrounding ice and snow, he asked: "How does the ice and snow here compare to Liaodong City? How does it compare to Chang'an?"
Later generations concluded that there were three disasters in the grassland: white disaster, black disaster and gray disaster. White disasters are snow disasters caused by excessive snowfall and rapid snowfall. Black disaster is winter drought, caused by lack of snow. Gray disasters are sandstorms that are affected by climate and airflow at a certain period. During the Little Ice Age, white disasters occurred frequently; during the warm period, the people in the Central Plains were strong and strong; after all, life was difficult, and after seeing the wonderful life of our wealthy neighbors, it was against human nature not to take advantage of it.
Therefore, a long time ago, there was a saying that the major affairs of the country depended on sacrifice and military affairs. The Analects of Confucius in the left hand governs the world, and the language in the right hand controls the world; a small wallet in the left hand, a big brick in the right hand; a carrot in the left hand, and a big stick in the right hand. This should be the correct way to open a flower garden.
We can lead everyone to be rich and prosperous together, but we must never again cultivate a group of supercilious wolves! Such as the chicken that thinks it is a crane, the pickle stick that thinks it is the center of the universe, some monkeys that eat cards, and some camels that always like to bounce each other...
... Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Guo looked at each other. There is naturally much more wind and snow here than in Chang'an City. In other words, Tubo, Tuyuhun and other countries in the Western Regions are not as livable as Guanzhong and Shandong, nor are they as crisscrossed by waterways as Jiangnan Road. Even with the Jiannan Road, which is difficult to travel through the rugged mountainous area, is also far inferior to Lingnan Road, which is unbearably hot.
"Wait!" Zhang Guo looked at Li Yuanying in shock and asked in disbelief. "Prince Teng, are you saying that in addition to their brutal nature, the essential reason for their southward invasion is that the living environment is too harsh, and they are just fighting for a chance to survive?"
Li Yuanying showed Zhang Guo the back of his hand that was red with cold, and said softly: "Not only them, but also think about the heroes of Wagang, think about the fox called Fish Belly Book and Killing the White Snake? Meng Fuzi said: Punish him for his crime and hang him. Its people are delighted when the rain falls at the right time.”
Zhang Guo: "..."
Punish his crimes and punish his people. When the rain falls, the people will be happy... King Teng really dares to say this!
Yuan Tiangang looked up at the sky and sighed faintly: "Although the Confucian people are chirping endlessly, it cannot be denied that they are very good at finding reasons for those in power on certain matters."
Prince Teng was still young and did not know enough about the temperament of the Confucian sect. He did not know that they were not only capable of sharpening their pens, but also could confuse right and wrong, confuse right and wrong, or even call a deer a horse. However, their ability to call a deer a horse was far better than that of the official of the Central Chefion. It refers to a deer as a horse, and its influence is wider and lasts longer.
Li Yuanying took his hand back and agreed very much with Yuan Tiangang's words. The descendants of a certain saint, no matter which dynasty followed, lived a noble and noble life. Whether it is the cowardly Song Dynasty who is in peace, or the Meng Yuan who rides to the Yinhe River; whether it is the Ming Dynasty who is the emperor guarding the country, or the servile braid; even in the era of melee when the king's flag changes at the top of the city, they can hide in the small building and become a good person. Yi Tong, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter... he smiled casually and said: "Mr. Yuan, this is also the reason why they have become more and more important and have become a prominent scholar in hundreds of schools of thought."
Governance by inaction is not suitable for a unified dynasty with a vast territory. Of course, it is also not suitable for conquering the world in troubled times.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the gallows and the long bucket truck transporting fish: With the advent of steamships, steam cars and various steam engine-driven instruments, our Taoist sect will become more and more important, equal to Confucianism.
Zhang Guo: "..."
Prince Teng's mind was filled with the natural vigilance of a street gangster.
