Tang's dining table

Back then, one of the most important reasons why Songtsen Gampo's army was able to sweep across the entire Tubo Plateau was to tie a fox tail behind the coward's head, making him laugh at him for being as timid as a fox.

Then, in order not to have fox tails tied behind their heads, the simple Tubo people fought bravely and were not afraid of death in order to distinguish themselves from timid creatures like foxes.

Therefore, in Tubo, tying a fox tail on the back of the head is a bet. Basically, as long as you are a man, you cannot accept it and you will not consider yourself a failure.

Of course Yunchu wouldn't think so. In fact, he himself had a fox fur hat. The fox tail on the hat could be hung down as a scarf. Everyone said it was a good thing.

Besides, put an orange on Naha's head and shoot it with an arrow? Damn it, Naha is his own sister, not a wild woman picked up from the valleys of Tubo.

You know, even when Yun Chu was beating Naha, he would carefully avoid important positions, fearing that he would break the child, and let her hold an orange on her head and shoot it with an arrow?

Even if he was an expert in archery, he wouldn't do this. If his hands trembled when the time came, Yun Chu couldn't even imagine what would happen.

It was nothing more than admitting failure. Yun Chu had admitted a lot of failures in his life. He even admitted failure to Yu Xiurong on the bed. It didn't matter if he admitted failure once more to this Tubo woman.

Seeing Dunzhu proudly looking around like a mountain antelope, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, gentle, Di Renjie raised his thumbs to Dunzhu at the same time, and at the same time stole a look of disdain at Yunchu.

Naha screamed angrily, but Li Hong's eyes kept passing over the faces of everyone present. He felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

"After spring, when my leg injury has healed, I will ask Your Majesty for permission to marry Miss Dundup."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Congratulations to Brother Helan, this is a true perfect match."

He Lanmin said: "Thank you, thank you very much."

After saying that, he took Dunzhu's hand, the two looked at each other and smiled sweetly, and then Dunzhu pushed Helan Minzhi and left the Yun family.

The rest of the people also left one after another. Just when Yunchu was sending Xue Rengui out, he suddenly said to Xue Rengui: "Study more about this Helan Minzhi."

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "In the next year, I will serve as the governor of Anxi and the governor of Xizhou. I will mainly deal with Qinling's ambition to plot our Western Regions."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "In Liangzhou, there is a good general who you can use. He is called Hei Te Changzhi."

Xue Rengui said: "Because I will serve as the Protector of Anxi and the Governor of Xizhou, which happens to be the position that Guo Daifeng's father once held. He hopes to become my deputy general and go to the Western Regions together."

Yun Chu's eyelids twitched and he said with a smile: "It is better to have black teeth. Of course, this is my personal opinion."

Li Hong, who had been staying by Yun Chu's side, suddenly said: "I also have a good person here. Can General Xue bring him with me?"

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "I wonder who the person His Royal Highness is talking about is?"

"Xiao Siye!"

Xue Rengui asked: "Is this the only one?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "He is the only one who went to the general's tent. He is the general's man. He can kill or stay. It all depends on the general's thoughts. I just think he is very suitable to go to the Western Regions. I want to give him a chance to stand out." , General, there is no need to worry about the rest."

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "I will remember it."

After sending Xue Rengui away, Pei Xingjian seemed to be leaving with Gongsun tonight. Although Gongsun's child lay in Pei Xingjian's arms and cried heartbreakingly, Pei Xingjian had no intention of letting go and was prepared to forcibly cultivate the relationship between father and son.

After dark, Li Shen usually didn't want to go out, so he found a guest room at Yun's house and took his wife and children to rest.

When only Yun Chu, Wen Wen and Di Renjie were left in the room, the three of them saw that Li Hong was reluctant to leave, so they let him in.

In front of Li Hong, the three of them summarized what they had done last year. Regardless of whether Li Hong understood it or not, and did not explain it, for now, it was enough for him to know.

After the three people finished talking, Li Hong asked cautiously: "Dahang City is so rich in products, why do the important officials of the imperial court turn a blind eye?"

Wen Wen replied: "Because, for the imperial court, Yingzhou is more important, and controlling the barbarians in Liaodong is more important."

"But, my father said, the taxes received by the Tang Dynasty will never be enough. Why are they not willing to develop financial resources?"

Di Renjie replied: "The reason why taxes are not enough is because the Tang Dynasty is too big and there are too many places that need to spend money.

At the same time, the output of the land is too little. What we lack is not money, but property. "

"Isn't there a way to quickly increase the wealth of resources?"

Yun Chu said: "Aren't you doing it? Cabbage, cabbage, onion. If the yield of these three things can reach more than two thousand kilograms per mu, people will not starve to death in Chang'an, and the population will increase in a very short time. It will increase over time. When the population increases, more places will be developed, and then there will be the most products.

Population, land, and property are all related. Now tell me, has Datang properly related these three? "

Li Hong shook his head and said: "It seems there is no connection."

Yun Chu said again: "It's good if there is no connection. Let's just connect them little by little. When these things are connected, the national power of the Tang Dynasty will rise to a higher level."

Li Hong imitated the adults and frowned: "Is there no permanent solution?"

Yunchu clicked his lips and said, "No."

"Should I continue to grow vegetables in the East Palace?"

"Very good, keep planting. As long as you plant the vegetables well, your throne will be stable in the future, and it will be one that no one can shake."

"I know that Shennong became the Holy Emperor because of his farming work."

"It's good to know that the emperor who grows from farming may be more powerful than the emperor who fights.

Okay, you already know too many things today. After you go back, think about it slowly and thoroughly. The truth in this world is actually very simple. It is nothing more than food and clothing. "

Li Hong returned to the East Palace with a lawsuit on his head. He originally wanted to continue playing in Jinchangfang until dawn, but later he felt that he was no longer a child, so he gave up the idea.

Gentle, Di Renjie has seen enough of the bustle of Jinchangfang, and they are more willing to regard New Year's Eve as a good day for gatherings.

The weather on New Year's Day was not good. Early in the morning, the sky became gloomy, and not long after, a flurry of snow fell.

This is not good for the commercial activities, commercial performances, and garden activities being held in Jinchangfang.

Naha got up early in the morning and was full of energy. She was practicing archery with a bow. She felt that her brother's lost face needed to be regained by her as a girl.

The arrows landed on the target with a whizzing sound. Although they couldn't hit the red heart, they all landed on the target, which was pretty good among the little girls.

When Yunchu got up, he saw Naha practicing archery, so he walked to the target position with an orange, put the orange on his head and said to Naha who was holding a bow and arrow: "Here, shoot the orange. "

Naha shook her head and said, "You put it on the target and I'll shoot."

Yun Chu said: "I'll put it on your head and you can shoot."

"I don't!"

Yunchu sneered, peeled the orange and ate it while walking towards Naha. Finally, he ate the remaining half of the orange and said to Naha, "Why don't you dare to cum?"

Naha quickly ate the orange and said, "The orange is on your head."

Yun Chu slapped Naha and said, "I can cum when the orange is on your head?"

"My brother is good at archery."

"Do you think I can catch the arrow you shot?"

"able!"

"Why don't you cum?"

"What if I can't catch it?"

Yun Chu slapped Naha on the back of the head again and said: "When I shoot an arrow at you, what if I don't shoot accurately? You see, this is the reason why I just gave up. It's the same reason why you don't want to shoot me.

"My brother is very good at archery, but I don't want to shoot."

Yun Chu sighed: "I'm afraid!"

Jinchangfang was much quieter during the day, although there were still some people entering Jinchangfang one after another. Most of these people who entered Jinchangfang during the day were foreign businessmen. Although Chang'an City had canceled the curfew during the festival, However, for them, they still cannot come out.

There was nothing to see in Jinchangfang during the day, all the lights were extinguished, and the huge bright moon slowly set before dawn.

Even the large canteen in Jinchangfang only has a few stalls open during the day, and most of the stalls are closed.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Yun Chu is going to the county government office. Sun Shenxian has gone to Zhongnan Mountain to practice in seclusion. Master Xuanzang is also taking advantage of the free time during the Chinese New Year to meditate in seclusion. Yun Chu, who is now a Marquis, cannot think of anything. Why do I need to pay New Year greetings to others at this time?

Therefore, I prepared to take the officials and clerks who stayed behind in Wannian County to visit the orphanage, Fushouyuan, and express condolences to the people of Yizhuang with food and supplies.

This is something that a county magistrate needs to do every year, and this is especially true in Wannian County, because there are no welfare facilities on a larger scale than Wannian County in the Tang Dynasty.

When going to these places, Yunchu usually takes Naha and Li Si with him to cultivate the two children's empathy.

These places are basically outside the city. The orphanage is integrated with the Fushou Garden and is a very large courtyard in itself.

Every year, Wannian County allocates a large amount of money and food to these two places. At the same time, the management system here is also the most stringent.

Yun Chu didn't think that the people in these two places should show all kinds of poverty and weirdness, but should be a positive and warm foster care place.

To be honest, the children and the elderly here should have a better life than the elderly in ordinary people's homes.

Before entering the orphanage and Fushouyuan, the first thing Yunchu did was to thoroughly check the account books of these two places.

In fact, there is no need to check. You only need to look at the faces of the officials in charge of these two places to understand.

If he looks complacent and is waiting for you to check, it means that checking the accounts will be beneficial to this guy.

If his face is ashen, then there is no need to investigate. You can directly drag this guy to make a skeleton model and give it to the Taipei Hospital as a teaching equipment.

This year, the expressions of these two guys are very strange, neither joy nor pain, but strange, yes, just very strange expressions.

Yun Chu looked at the account book and said solemnly: "Speak earlier, don't let me find out, and there will be no way to express the last bit of kindness."

The steward of Fushouyuan said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to the county magistrate, an old man moved in here half an hour ago."
