Datang Fenghua Road

At that time, Han Yue was not at home. When Wannian County magistrate brought two small officials to Tianjiazhuang, he was leading a group of people to work in full swing on the mountain.

This hill is next to Tianjiazhuang, close to the Wei River in the west, and overlooking Chang’an in the east. Although it is only a small barren hill, it is a bit rough and tiring to climb.

Wannian county magistrate is an old man in his 50s. The so-called youth is easy to pass, and the years are not forgiving. He has not finished walking a winding mountain road, but he is already tired and out of breath.

"This little brother, how long will it take to see the Marquis of Jingyang?" Wannian County magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead lightly. He glanced at the mountain road above, feeling a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but start asking to lead the way. man of.

It wasn't someone else who led the way, it was Tian Ergou, a young scoundrel. Because of his dexterity and slickness, whenever someone from Tianjiazhuang came to visit, he would come forward to cater to him.

When Tian Ergou heard the county magistrate ask him, he hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Your Excellency is tired, why don't we take a break and then go! My grandfather and brother-in-law lead people to do things on the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it's still a long way from here. There are hundreds of steps."

"There are still hundreds of steps to go? Then there is no need to rest!" Wannian County Magistrate wiped his sweat, he took a deep breath, and said: "This county has something important to ask the Marquis of Jingyang, but I dare not If there is a delay, let's go up."

"Okay!" Tian Ergou agreed, turning around and continuing to lead the way.

Wannian county magistrate gave two little officials a wink, and one of them nodded quickly, he walked to Tian Ergou in a few steps, and said cautiously: "Brother, I heard you call the Marquis of Jingyang your brother-in-law just now, I don't know. you are……"

Tian Ergou smiled and said in a low voice, "My cousin is Tian Doudou, but she will be the wife of the Marquis in the future. Do you think I should call him brother-in-law?"

"It's amazing! Unexpectedly, it's the husband, wife and brother who are in front of you. The villain is rude!"

Tian Ergou was a little proud, but he said: "Don't talk about this, my brother-in-law is very temperamental, if he hears me yelling around, he thinks I'm acting in his name, maybe You will get angry. You also know that my brother-in-law is a child of the gods, and getting angry is not something ordinary people can bear."

"That's that, that's that! Master Hou's temper is indeed a bit...that." The little official nodded repeatedly, with lingering fear on his face.He has met Han Yue and knows that Tian Ergou is not talking nonsense.

The last time the Ministry of Household granted land, he and another clerk brought Li Junsheng, an official of the Ministry of Household, here.That Li Junsheng was from the Li family in Longxi, but he was still devastated when he provoked Han Yue.Dare to work hard with nobles from aristocratic families, ordinary county men don't have such a bad temper.

"My brother-in-law not only has a big temper, but he also has a stern revenge! Whoever dares to provoke him, hum hum hum!" Tian Ergou hummed for a while, then suddenly lowered his body and said to the clerk, "It's not to scare you, our brother-in-law is just that. A person who can reach the sky, this time the Taiyuan Wang family asked us for trouble, and the lawsuit even hit the Dali Temple. In the end, guess what? Not only did the big men of the dynasty support it, but even the emperor and the empress came in person. The king of Taiyuan What a tyrannical family, he didn't end up obediently apologizing to our brother-in-law with his tail tucked."

"Awesome! The little man has heard about this! The backing of the Marquis of Jingyang is really... hey, it's so big." The little official nodded and bowed, with a respectful and fascinated face. , Naturally knowing that he should flatter, he continued: "The Taiyuan Wang family didn't wink, and dared to provoke the Lord of Jingyang. It would be considered light for them to apologize."

Tian Ergou glanced at him arrogantly, and said lightly, "Do you think it's as simple as apologizing?"

"Is there anything else?"

"That's natural! How can I make them look good..." Tian Ergou made a heavy nose and hummed: "Just my brother-in-law's temper, who can get good at him? Tell you, the lawsuit was not over yet. , my brother-in-law waved a thunderbolt and directly blew up the Wang family mansion."

"Hey—" The little official took a breath of air and said, "It turns out that the king's mansion was struck by lightning, was it really the Hou Ye who did it?"

Tian Ergou nodded sharply. "Apart from my brother-in-law, who is a disciple of God and man, who else has this kind of ability."

The little official quietly swallowed and spit, and slowly retreated to Wannian County Magistrate's side, whispering: "Sir..."

Wannian County Magistrate's face was cloudy and uncertain, he suddenly waved his hand lightly, and let out a sigh.The little official was well-behaved, and quickly stopped talking.

The small desolate mountain is not high, and the mountain road is not very far. After a few people walked for a while, suddenly the eyes suddenly opened up, and they found that they had reached the top of the mountain.

From a distance, I saw Han Yue was busy with a group of people. Hundreds of people were cramming on the top of the mountain, and everyone was digging soil with a fine steel shovel.

"What is this going to do?" Wannian County magistrate was curious. He looked at Han Yue under Tian Ergou's guidance, but saw that the young wizard who passed on Chang'an was shirtless, also holding a shovel digging soil.

The county man is also considered honorable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a young county man would work.

Seeing that the cliffs and soil on the top of the mountain were dug in a mess, there were generally three trenches, one zhang wide and six feet deep. A strong man jumped in and only exposed his head.

Behind the three trenches is an earthen fort under construction, all of which are piled up with hard boulders. The appearance is like a huge column. There are no windows around, but a dozen small holes are left.

The earthen fort occupies a large area and is very high. I don’t know what construction method was used. It is divided into five floors up and down. If it is used to live in people, I am afraid that three or four hundred mouths can be stuffed into it.

Wannian County Magistrate's eyes flashed, and he was a little shocked.He is an official after all, and his knowledge is more profound than those of the two small officials. He does not know what the three trenches are used for, but the construction pattern of this earthen fort is very similar to the towers on the Great Wall in the north.

The most striking thing is not the earthen block, but the two strange things placed on the top of the earth block. The thing looks like a huge tree trunk, but the whole body is dark and shining, obviously made of fine iron.This thing is thick and ferocious, and there are delicate wheels on the bottom, and I don't know what it is for.

"Did you see it..." Tian Ergou suddenly pointed at the two giants and whispered, "What is that red-clothed cannon? It's a new treasure made by my brother-in-law. It can blow things five miles away to shreds."

"Hey—" Wannian County magistrate gasped coldly, and said in disbelief, "Thunder that mortals can control? How is this possible."

"What my brother-in-law made, how can there be fakes..." Tian Ergou was about to brag when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Han Yue coming here, he felt a sudden shock in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Sir, you should ask him yourself, I And leave beforehand!"

Leaving Wannian County magistrate behind, he ran away in a panic.

Chapter 78 New food crops?

"I often hear about the young genius of the Marquis of Jingyang, but when I saw it today, I really have a big hill in my chest. The lower officials have long wanted to visit, but because of the trivial matters in the subordinate yamen, they never made the trip. Haha, I hope that the Marquis of Jingyang will not be blamed!"

"Ahaha, why did your lord say this? You are the head of one county in the dignified Wannian County. The imperial capital has two counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial capital, and the official position is higher than that of the ordinary state capital. You are only an idle county man, and you don't even have a place to eat in the court. If Even the fifth-rank officers like you are subordinate to themselves, don’t you want to find a piece of tofu and kill me! Your lord, please don’t kill me…”

Han Yue was right. During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was divided into two counties, east and west, Wannian County in the east, and Chang'an County in the west.

This is also a Chinese characteristic. Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or generation, as long as the post is conferred by the imperial capital, one can see the official senior level.Don't look at the Wannian magistrate, which sounds like a magistrate, but he is an official in an important place in Gyeonggi, and he is a dignified five-ranked official.

"The Marquis of Jingyang don't have to be humble, the so-called don't bully the poor. Although this county is an official of the fifth rank, it is not qualified to be kicked by His Majesty in person. The future has a great future!" Wannian County magistrate snorted, haha. With a meaningful face, he continued to tout.

Chang'an is the capital of the emperor, and there is no information to hide. That day, Han Yue went to Dali Temple to fight a lawsuit. Not only did the generals of the country go to a large number of votes, but even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came to support the scene.This matter fell into the eyes of people with a heart, and naturally they were greatly shocked.

In the end, the Taiyuan Wang family withdrew the lawsuit and everyone left, but Han Yue was left behind by His Majesty and the Empress to talk to the Dali Temple for a full afternoon. I don’t know how this kid provoked the emperor. , Many servants who were guarding the door to inquire about news found that there were several footprints on Jingyanghou's buttocks, and several red lips on his neck and cheeks.

No one dared to guess who the lip rosy kissed, but the footprints on the buttocks were definitely from the feet of the Holy One.

Being able to provoke His Majesty the Emperor himself to kick his ass is not the kind of treatment that ordinary teenagers can get.What Li Shimin is best at is beheading people with a knife and axe. Who do you see provoked him and just kicked his butt off?

Han Yue is obviously not an opponent of Wannian County magistrate. He is a real boss who has been fighting in the courtroom. He speaks slowly but never misses every bit. To play language art with him is self-inflicted embarrassment.But gangsters also have their own routines. Since I can't tell you, then I will use the golden sword, and he directly asks:

"I don't know what the lord is doing today?" He cupped his hands, showing a hint of respect and doubt on his face, and tentatively said: "You are a dignified officer, the government has many affairs, and now is the festival of late summer and autumn seeds. I don't think the adults have the leisure and grace to visit friends, right?"

"Alas!" Wannian County magistrate sighed and said meaningfully: "The Marquis of Jingyang is elegant and elegant, a very refined summary of the late summer and autumn planting. This statement is exactly what the old man is worried about." He glanced at Han Yue, and then again Dao: "Although this old man has been promoted to an official position on the fifth rank, he actually has to manage the food, drink and Lazard of a county. Not long after I founded the Tang Dynasty, I paid special attention to agriculture, and each county and ya had an assessment task. Of course, this decree cannot escape.”

Got it, this is for farming!Han Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and he probably guessed the reason in his heart.

Sure enough, the Wannian County magistrate said solemnly: "To be honest, this county is here today because there is something to ask the Marquis of Jingyang."

The old man dragged Han Yue to the edge of the top of the mountain slowly, stretched out his finger and pointed to a place at the bottom of the mountain, and sighed: "Look at the marquis of Jingyang, there are [-] acres of Tianzitian, even if it can't be ranked the best in Wannian County. The plot, I am afraid it can also be squeezed into the top three." He glanced at Han Yue again, and complained a little: "This old man is also born in poverty, and he knows what to grow in this good land. This is a full three hundred acres of fertile land. The annual income is enough to support thousands of people, why has the Marquis of Jingyang been slow to show action?"

"My lord, this is wrong!" Han Yue laughed and pointed at the foot of the mountain, "You see there are dozens of women in the fields, haven't I already arranged for people to plant the fields?"

"Cultivation?" Wannian county magistrate raised his eyebrows, and his tone became a little stiff: "Then why don't you see the cattle ploughing the fields, and the peasant women sowing? What's the point of a group of little daughters-in-law cutting tubers with kitchen knives, is that food edible? Marquis of Jingyang, you have to keep in mind that people are mistaken for a year for a while, and if food production is delayed, hum..."

He seemed to feel that his tone was a bit wrong, and he quickly changed to teaching earnestly, and then said: "I heard a report from my subordinates in the yamen, saying that you have not planted three hundred acres of land here, and the anxious old man has not even eaten a bite of rice. Come here. Fortunately, there is no delay in starting work now, and I hope that the Marquis of Jingyang can give this old man some thin noodles, and quickly instruct the people below to plough the land quickly and plant food as soon as possible."

This is a real elder, and the dignified fifth-grade officer personally went to the matter of hundreds of acres of land, and Han Yue was a little moved.Originally, according to his temperament, I could do whatever I wanted with my own land, but at this time I felt that it was necessary to explain to Wannian County Magistrate.

Without him, a good official would be treated like a good official. If he were asked by the sons of the aristocratic family, Han Yue would definitely open his mouth and scold his mother in disgust.

"My lord, do you know what that tuber is? Although I have a dissolute character, I also know that the fields are the parents of food and clothing. How can I just do something wrong..." Since I decided to explain something, there is no need to hide it, sweet potato This thing hadn't appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the system exchange price was also high, so he didn't plan to promote it for the time being.But it is still necessary to give Wannian County Magistrate a blow in advance.

The magistrate of Wannian listened to his explanation, and he really paid attention to it. He pondered: "Listen to what the Marquis of Jingyang said, could it be that this thing is also food?"

"My lord guessed it right, this thing is food!"
