I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

How much should these be converted into copper.

But...they're pretty good.

There are also a large number of peasant households who did not participate, nor did they seize the land sold by the landlords and gentry. They are the ones who got nothing in this experiment.

Although compared to previous years, this year's income has increased step by step, but... their hearts are indeed aching.

Li Shimin held the brown corn, twisted one, revealing the yellow and plump corn inside, threw it into his mouth, and felt the most simple taste.

Uncooked corn is not so easy to chew, and it is small, like a stone, which made Li Shimin uncomfortable, so he simply swallowed it in one gulp.

He didn't say anything, and with the support of the guards, he got into the carriage and returned to the imperial city.

After the initial excitement wears off, all that's left is exhaustion.

Li Shimin has realized that he is old more than once, but this is the most clear time, aging is mercilessly reflected in his body.

It's just a few acres of land.

It is no more exhausting than running for hundreds of miles, no more exhausting than a war.

嗏

When he was young, it could be solved with just a sound sleep, but now his knees, waist, and even the muscles he can maintain are constantly sore.

My own aging is more serious than I imagined.

Or... the taste of aging is more painful than he thought.

After Li Shimin went back, he didn't deal with official business anymore, but ordered that the court meeting be suspended tomorrow, and he slept well for a day.

The imperial court also had no objection.

Especially the household department, they need time to count the test results of the thinning method in the villages near Chang'an City. Maybe the Zhuangzi they went to today is just an example?
But this may not have happened.

The results sent back by Zhuangzi prove that the thinning method is indeed feasible.

A few days later.

The result reports from Taiyuan, Xingyang and other places were also sent back, which added a layer of gold to this thinning method.

No one dared to take any action on this matter.

Even the daring grandson Wuji is the same.

The Minister of the Household Department read aloud: "Your Majesty, corn from all over the country has been put into the warehouse. After the inventory, the thinning method can increase the production, ranging from seven to eight, and as many as fourteen to five."

Seventy-eight and fourteen-five here refer to percentages.

Every place has its own situation, and the people who farm the land are also a variable.

But even the least seven or eight are enough to explain the situation.

On the contrary, the atmosphere of the court became heavy because of this sentence. The thinning method was a great success, and they sent back the news of the grain production in the distance, but after all, it was time to share the cake.

"I believe that Yi Xin's research on agriculture has merits that will last for thousands of years." Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up, but did not mention Yin Xuan, "He should be ennobled and entered the temple."

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

It is a matter of course to be knighted, but this is entering the temple?

"Why did you say that?" Li Shimin asked, his tone became a bit colder, "The establishment of a temple is a big matter, how can I say it easily."

Building a temple is no small matter in Datang.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of building temples. There are two types of so-called temples.

One is the so-called ancestral temple, the Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven, and the Five Temples of the Dafu... The so-called Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, is the seventh emperor from Li Yuan to the Tang Dynasty, who is eligible to be included in the temple middle.

The remaining emperors can enter the temple, but they cannot stand alone. Even...if any of the previous seven emperors has unqualified ability and bad conduct, let alone establish a temple, even if they enter the temple, they will not get a good reputation.

Another kind of temple is the temple that can only be erected by those who have the support of the people, the approval of His Majesty, and those who have made great contributions.

This kind of temple is extremely rare.

Even in a land as vast as the Tang Dynasty with a thousand-year history, there are still not many temples like this.

most famous.

It is the Confucius Temple, also known as the Confucian Temple. This is the largest and most recognized temple, and it can be found almost everywhere, followed by the two temples in Yizhou.

One is the Temple of Emperor Zhaolie. Although it is called the Temple of Emperor Zhaolie, but...the local people call it Zhuge Temple and Wuhou Temple, and the most worshiped is Zhuge Wuhou, not Emperor Zhaolie.

The other one is the Erwang Temple in Guanjiangkou, also known as Erlang Temple.

Those who worship are Li Bing and his son who dug Dujiangyan. Although the two men are not as famous as Zhuge Liang and Confucius, their status is even higher than them for Yizhou people.

It's just... Recently, there was an adulterous priest who claimed that Li Bing and his son were actually the reincarnation of the heavenly deity "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun", and a statue of the god was erected in this temple.

The standards for erecting temples, especially the second type of temples, are very high.

At least…

Li Shimin is self-aware. He probably has no second possibility of building a temple. In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Yin Xuan has the qualifications.

Now when it comes to Yi Xin's temple, he has no official position, no title, and is not a relative of the emperor. Naturally, it is impossible to build a temple in the first way.

That is... the second type?
Does Ke Yixin have the qualifications?
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I think you should enter the temple instead of building it."

One "enter" and one "stand" have completely different meanings.

"Whose temple do you want to enter?" Li Shimin asked.

"Zhengyang Gongci Temple." Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and spit out four words, which shocked the whole court.

Build a temple for the living?
This…

It is really unprecedented and extremely rare.

Even the original Zhuge Wuhou built the temple more than ten years after his death-although this is also related to Liu Chan's strange operation.

But this is enough to prove that the establishment of the temple is a big deal.

Datang has not built a temple yet.

It was just a negotiation to come up with Li Yuan's temple name, which he thought would be available soon, but who knew that Li Yuan survived those few years when he was half dead, and now he is getting older and stronger.

He is also happy to call himself by the temple name.

Gaozu always sounds better than the emperor.

Although the people in the court were frightened, most of them could only feel admiration for Fang Xuanling after they calmed down. This little old man is very slippery.

He said it was a reward for Yi Xin, but he also mentioned the reward for Yin Xuan.

one stone two bird.

The most important thing is that he has also withdrawn from this matter. He has finished what he should say, and it has nothing to do with him if you quarrel anytime.

Li Shimin didn't speak, and fell silent.

It's not unacceptable to build temples for strangers. The common people have already started doing this in private, and it's nothing but the court's approval.

It is also a good thing for the group of ambitious scholars in Datang to have such a jewel in front of them.

He was just about to nod.

Wang Gui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

He was anxious, really a little anxious.

If Yin Xuan is allowed to sit firmly on the matter of building the temple, then there is really no way to fight Yin Xuan!
Li Shimin looked over and said, "What's wrong?"
