NIP Chapter 34
Chapter 34
"Hahaha~"
Li Shimin laughed out loud suddenly, and looked at Su Jing slightly softer.
Even Li Chengqian, whom he personally trained, made him very dissatisfied with his treatment of the aristocratic family.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son who grew up in the folk would surprise him like this.
It's just that there are so many people talking now, it's obviously not the time to talk about it.
"I heard that you mentioned it to Duke Yi.
If the rice in Linyi country is cultivated in one place in the south of the Yangtze River, it can guarantee two crops a year, and two stones per mu.
Can this statement be taken seriously? "
Li Shimin thought for a while and asked.
Su Jing glanced at the relieved father and son of the Wang family, lowered his head and said regretfully, "Return to Your Majesty.
This is what my teacher saw with his own eyes, so it must be true. "
"Oh?
Who is your master? "
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
It has always been his wish to have all the heroes of the world in the hub.
How could he easily let someone as talented as Su Jing be taught.
"The teacher never told the name taboo to the humble minister, so the humble minister is not very clear.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty! "
Su Jing replied pretending to be annoyed.
"Where is he now?"
"The family teacher's whereabouts are always uncertain, and I don't know where the family teacher is."
"What does he look like?
you might draw? "
"When the master teaches the humble minister, he always uses wooden boards to block it, so the humble minister does not know what the master looks like."
"Is he a man or a woman?"
"My teacher's voice is crisp and clear, it's hard to tell male and female...
uh~"
Su Jing just wanted to find an excuse to shirk, but suddenly came back to his senses.
With a smirk, he raised his head to look at Li Shimin, and sure enough, he saw that he was looking at him with a sinister face.
"His Majesty.
The family teacher once told the minister not to tell others about him.
I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me. "
"Hehe~
Do you know the crime of deceiving the king? "
Li Shimin asked with a smile on his face.
Su Jing pursed his lips secretly, and replied: "My teacher is afraid that my minister will not be able to withstand the intimidation and tell the whole story about him, so he never revealed his identity to this minister.
That being the case, how can there be a crime of deceiving the king. "
"Humph!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly when he heard the words, and gritted his teeth secretly angrily.
Although he knew that Su Jing was talking nonsense.
But with Empress Changsun standing by, he really couldn't think of a way to press for the truth.
"This matter will be discussed later.
You talk to me first.
The southern land is densely covered with miasma, how did your master use the miasma to travel between Linyi and my Tang Dynasty? "
"Hehe~"
Su Jing raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.
He has always wondered how Li Shimin, who had received the news of Champa Rice, would come to Qingfeng Pavilion in a leisurely way.
It turned out that neither the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could cope with the miasma, so they came to Qingfeng Pavilion to ask for advice.
"His Majesty.
Miasma is mostly caused by the poisonous gas produced by the decay of animal corpses in dense forests.
Although the gas is poisonous, you can get through it safely by covering your face with a headscarf.
What is really dangerous is the mosquitoes that are as numerous as cow hair in the dense forest.
It carries a large number of deadly germs in its body.
Once bitten by it without effective treatment, it will die of various diseases within three to five days. "
Li Shimin looked at Su Jing who was talking eloquently.
Although I don't quite understand some of his words, I still feel unclear.
"Is there a way to prevent it?"
"Simply cover the hands, feet, mouth and nose with thick silk cloth, and then smoke it with wormwood, which will naturally temporarily block mosquito bites.
And the virtuous empress dew that the minister gave to the empress yesterday also has the same effect.
But if this is the case, when the two armies are at war, it will definitely be unfavorable to Datang.
Therefore, if you want to conquer the rebellion of Linyi Kingdom and restore our country in the Central Plains, you still need to recruit soldiers and generals in the south. "
Li Shimin frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard the words, and a look of irritability flashed in his eyes.
If recruiting soldiers in the south, it will inevitably delay a lot of time.
Now that all the people in the north are hungry, how can he waste so much time.
"What about other than that?"
Li Shimin tentatively said unwillingly.
Although it was the first time for the two to meet, he had also heard of Su Jing's temperament of keeping things secret.
"stingy person!"
Su Jing cursed secretly in his heart.
After asking so many questions, I have nothing to say.
If it wasn't about the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, he would never have told Li Shimin the truth.
"His Majesty.
At the beginning, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent Liu Fang to conquer Linyi.
Liu Fang sent Ning Changzhen, the governor of Qinzhou, Li Yun, the governor of Huanzhou, and Qin Xiong of Shangkaifu to ride out of Yuechang with more than ten thousand steps, and headed south along the coast to Linyi Kingdom.
But Liu Fang himself led the main force to go to the scene by boat, and won the battle only when the waterways advanced together. "
"Yup!
There is miasma blocking the land, so we can go by water!
hahaha~
Your Majesty, great...
Su Jing is really a young hero, not as good as an old man! "
The people beside Li Shimin clapped their hands and shouted loudly.
When Empress Changsun heard the words, her face was full of complacency.
Gently pinched the little face of the young lady in her arms, and reminded at the right time: "Your Majesty.
Su Jing has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty this time, His Majesty must reward him! "
"Guanyin servant girl.
In less than ten days, Su Jing was promoted to the eighth rank, and even named Wannian County Male.
If there is another reward this time, I am afraid that some people in the court will not accept it! "
Li Shimin said with a headache.
If the rewards continued like this one after another, Su Jing might have to be crowned prince within half a year.
However, regarding Su Jing's succession as the crown prince, Li Shimin has always been hesitant.
What's more, he has always remembered the method Su Jing used to save people just now.
If the time comes to prove Su Jing's meritorious service again, won't he be promoted to three levels overnight!
Then what happened to his official position under Li Shimin?
Why not just give it to Su Jing for fun.
"His Majesty.
As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, it is my duty to offer advice to His Majesty, and I really dare not talk about rewards. "
Seeing Li Shimin's embarrassed expression, Su Jing thought for a while and said proactively.
Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded, just about to praise Su Jing.
But he suddenly showed an innocent and simple smile, and then said with a smile: "However, I often hear Uncle Cheng mention that there are eight hundred households in Shishi Town and eight thousand households in Shishi Town.
Why doesn't Weichen have a male household in Wannian County?
His Majesty.
The minister's reward must have been swallowed by your subordinates. "
"puff……"
"Cough cough~"
"Cough cough~"
There was a series of coughing sounds in the silent small courtyard.
Changsun Wuji and the others pinched their thighs and held back their smiles with difficulty.
If they hadn't known Su Jing's monstrous nature in advance, just looking at his innocent expression at the moment, everyone would think that he really didn't know.
"Eight thousand households!
Hehe~”
The corners of Li Shimin's eyes twitched violently, and for a moment he felt his fingers move.
If he was in Ganlu Hall at this moment, he would not mind exercising his father's rights.
"Do you really want eight thousand households in the real food town?"
After a while to suppress his anger, Li Shimin asked in a cold voice with no expression on his face.
"Your Majesty is mistaken.
Uncle Cheng only has a few hundred households, so how could the humble minister be so ignorant. "
Su Jing smiled foolishly.
Stretching out a finger and shaking it, he said with an aggrieved face: "It's just that Your Majesty doesn't know.
Weichen was born in a poor family, so far the family has no money left.
Even the [-] mu of fertile land that His Majesty bestowed on my ministers was all cultivated by my parents and younger sister.
The poor little girl is only four years old now, and she has to work hard behind her mother with bare feet.
My mother worked hard day and night without a half-day rest, and her hair was already graying before she was thirty.
Although my father guarded the border for the Tang Dynasty, he had to work as an ox or a horse to plow the fields when he returned home every New Year's festival. "
As Su Jing said, the playful expression on his face gradually faded away.
All kinds of the past when I was stupid in the past came to my mind one by one.
Lifting his head and taking a deep breath, he continued with red eyes, "Wei Chen saw it with his own eyes when he was awake.
In order to save my minister a sip of clear water and porridge, the younger sister would rather wear a single coat in the biting cold wind and eat snow to satisfy her hunger.
At that time, Wei Chen had already made an oath that he would never let the younger sister and parents suffer any more grievances in this life.
This time, I only ask His Majesty to reward some tenants so that parents and younger sister can enjoy themselves at home after this. "
"Jiro!"
Empress Changsun hugged the bewildered young lady tightly, and shouted with trembling voice.
Hearing this, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and waved his hands, nodded in response, "Su Jing, today I will give you two hundred households in Shishi Town.
But since you love your parents and your sister so much, why haven't you bought slaves and livestock since you were sober? "
"His Majesty.
Xing, the people suffer.
die, the people suffer.
The days of not having enough to eat have been too long, and the people would rather work hard than raise slaves and livestock.
If Wei Chen decides to buy it today with copper coins.
Not only will my mother not be happy, but she will even give me a meal! "
