Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 7

The Mu family took the initiative to provoke the incident, but they were not against the family. This time the Mu family lost all face.

Qu Tutong did not give Mu Laosan any chance to defend himself. Together with Mu Laosan's tribesmen and servants, they were controlled by the more than 100 servants and cavalry.

The Mu family servants, who were still arrogant before, squatted in the corner one by one under the threat of the sharp horizontal knife, holding their heads tightly with both hands, which was in sharp contrast to their previous arrogance.

"Pu She! Xiaomin has a distant uncle who is a soldier under King Lujiang Cao Junjun Wang Lishe. I hope that Pu She will spare Xiao Min this time. Xiao Min will live in peace of mind in the future and will not have any greed again." Mu Lao San hastily moved out Own savior.

Qu Tutong frowned slightly. His relationship with the King of Lujiang, Li Yuan, was not good. Li Yuan relied on his status to be undisciplined in the court. He acted rampantly and supported his troops.

Before Qu Tutong came to Luozhou to take office, the imperial court had dispatched Cui Dunli, a senior official, to recruit Li Yuan to Beijing, but Qu Tutong didn't know what happened afterwards.

Bing Cao Can Jun is not a high-ranking position, but Li Yuan is the prince, the nephew of Emperor Li Yuan, his mansion is equipped with a soldier Cao Can Jun, and the soldier Cao Can Jun of the Prince's Mansion is the seventh rank.Although the rank is not high, but he is Li Yuan's confidant, and he can say something in front of Li Yuan.

And Li Yuan is well-known for defending his shortcomings. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, his people must be right. Li Yuan has no talent in commanding troops, and he can only use this method to win over people's hearts. Therefore, Qu Tutong and other powerful warriors I still look down upon Li Yuan very much.

So now comes the problem. King Qin conscripted Li Yuan to the capital. In fact, he realized that Li Yuan was secretly colluding with the prince Qi Wang and others. He recruited him to the capital. If the king refused to enter the capital, it would be easy to say that the imperial court would immediately send a large army to exterminate them.

If Li Yuan obeyed the conscript and went to Beijing, then this matter would be very difficult, the King of Qin would not kill Li Yuan, after all he already had the blood of the prince and King Qi on his hands, the most likely thing would be house arrest.

So no matter what the result is, from now on, Li Yuan's life can only be a disaster. Even Li Yuan is in such a mess, what kind of waves can his subordinates create?
"Even the king of Lujiang must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and rob orphans and middle-aged men for food in broad daylight. Even if this matter comes to His Majesty, the king of Lujiang will not dare to say that he is unreasonable!" Qu Tutong quickly figured it out. Knowing the key points, he has absolutely no need to give Li Yuan face, let alone a seventh-rank official under Li Yuan?

"Okay, Pu She is really an upright official. He is not afraid of power, but only understands the facts. With such an upright official in Luoyang, we and the people will be able to work in peace." Qu Tutong's actions still won the approval of a large number of people. Someone stood up and applauded.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the army was in turmoil, the land of the Central Plains was devastated, and the people were displaced. It was not until the fourth year of Wude that the King of Qin led an army to defeat Dou Jiande's troops at Hulao Pass, and the Central Plains was considered to be stable again.

In the fifth and sixth years of Wude, the court tried to appease the people and try their best to restore the Central Plains area to normal. It was not until the seventh year of Wude that the situation in the Central Plains became slightly better.

However, the Central Plains area is narrow township. Narrow township means that there are many people and little land, and those with few people and more land are called wide townships.

Despite more than ten years of war, the population in the Central Plains area is still denser than that in Guanzhong. At this time, although the people were resettled here, they still dared not work at ease, for fear that war would break out again from time to time, especially It's the Turks in the north.

Another reason is that Luoyang officials are not very honest. This is the most important reason.

Qu Tutong's statement undoubtedly reassured the people of Qinhe Village, and what happened in Qinhe Village today will definitely spread everywhere.Qu Tutong took advantage of this opportunity to earn a lot of reputation for the imperial court.

"Da Lang, the yield of this product is four stones per mu?" Qu Tutong took two steps forward, looked at the potatoes placed on the mound, and said in amazement.

He was sure that he had never seen this thing before, and it was not small in size. If the yield per unit of land could really reach four stones, then...

"Hui Pushe, I have determined that the potato yield per mu is more than four stones." Qin Chao responded with a smile. Potatoes are not a rare food, although they are indeed rare in the Tang Dynasty, and such a high yield per mu can give the Tang Dynasty The impact was huge, and Qin Chao also vaguely felt that the official position of the servant in front of him should be quite high.

Although Qin Chao didn't know the official positions of the Tang Dynasty, but in the TV series he had watched in later generations, he seemed to have said that if there were any left servants and right servants around the emperor, it was the position of prime minister, and one person was below ten thousand. .

Although this Pu She is not the Pu She in Chaozhong, at the local level, the person who can be appointed as a Pu She must be at least the second or third leader in Luoyang, right?
The opportunity to rise has come, um, let's make a routine with this servant...

"Previously, 32 seedlings of a certain species, after three months of careful care, produced about 150 fruits, and three or four fruits weighed about one catty. If the scale was increased by three or four times, one stone per mu could be produced. If a courtyard is fully planted, the yield will exceed one stone; if it is planted on arable land, if it is properly cared for, the yield will be at least four stones per mu; if it is planted on sandy soil, the yield will be even higher."

Although Qu Tutong was already mentally prepared, Qin Chao's explanation stopped, and he was shocked again into a cold sweat. Four stones per mu is scary enough, but six stones per mu ...

Qu Tutong glanced at the potato seedlings that had been dug out on the ground. The planting area was indeed not large. The 32 plants were planted in three rows. The three rows were about one and a half steps wide and seven or eight steps long. If what Qin Chao said was true, The yield per mu is not just four stones.

"Qin Chao, I am Qu Tutong, Jiang Guogong, who guards Luozhou (Luoyang) under the command of the King of Qin. Qu Tutong suddenly officially revealed his identity, but then continued: " The purpose of showing my identity is not to put pressure on you, but to let you know that I will not take credit for your achievements, and I also have the ability to make this matter known to the heavens."

After explaining his intention clearly, Qu Tutong said again: "Qin Chao, are you willing to hand over these potatoes to the imperial court for the benefit of the people?"

"Duke Jiang? Hiss, this is Duke Jiang..."

'Boom! 'Three or four middle-aged men in the village suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed fiercely to Qu Tutong, all the people watching were puzzled.

"Jiang Guogong, when you followed the King of Qin to fight against Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong at Hulao Pass five years ago, I was a member of your army. At that time, I could only take a look at it from a distance. I never imagined that I would be able to do so today. Such close contact with Duke Jiang."

"Da Lang, give the potatoes to Jiang Guogong, Jiang Guogong will keep his word."

"Yes, Dalang, Duke Jiang is our benefactor in Luozhou. It was Luozhou that Duke Jiang regained from Wang Shichong back then. If not for Duke Jiang's courageous fight back then, I am afraid our Luozhou would not be able to stabilize now."

The villagers persuaded Qin Chao with every word, but Qin Chao's face was filled with black lines, "Ni sister, I didn't say I wouldn't give it, so why do you act like I don't want to give it?"
