Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Li Yuanying's excuses stirred up waves with one stone.

I won’t say how Li Yuanying painted it. What’s important is that a list of Huxian investors is attached to the back, which is equivalent to letting them show their faces on the side of His Majesty Li Er and others in advance. If it's an ordinary county magistrate, even if you write a letter, you may not be able to listen to the sky, but Li Yuanying is different. He is the younger brother of Li Er, or the one that Li Er most prefers. Even if his book is nonsense, Li Er will be alone. Take it out and have a look.

Facts have proved that this is indeed all nonsense. People who have ears at the court have heard what Li Yuanying said on the fold. The rest is all "Your Majesty, how are you so awesome, how can the people love you", the whole article They are all explaining one thing: how to shoot flattery completely natural.

No one has ever been disgusted by Li Yuanying. How could this kid be so shameless? When others said it would be embarrassing, he piled on the folds as if he didn’t want money, and changed the names of several groups of people, and boasted that his emperor’s brother had no one before or after another. He was the only one in thousands of years. Wise monarch! The most important thing is that he doesn't need to boast in his own words. He is authentic, and writes the accent of the village elder in the book, and vividly writes the simple and simple tone of the people's praise.

Li Yuanying was shameless. The terrible thing was that Changsun Wuji and the others discovered that His Majesty Li Er was very useful, and he even thought more far-reaching than Li Yuanying. Because he accidentally confided in Changsun Wuji: "I wonder if he said that he would build the road to Mount Tai, but he also made this idea."

This really shocked Changsun Wuji. Fortunately, Li Yuanying said that he was still young and felt that money was used for fun. It was not guilty at all to trick others into spending money, and things became beautiful in their hearts. Very much. But His Majesty Li Er is the king of a country, how can he make other people's money bags? Still thinking of asking someone to build a road and bridge for him to Mount Tai, how many Huxian counts would it take to get it together? It’s not that all counties in the world are as rich and prosperous as the rich counties in Gyeonggi, where can anyone really pay a sum of money to build roads, bridges, and palaces for you without blinking?

Seeing that something was wrong, Changsun Wuji hurriedly persuaded His Majesty Li Er not to do such a down-to-earth thing. You have worked so hard to build up the image of Mingjun. You can't make future generations laugh because of these small money and small profits.

His Majesty Li Er didn't say anything, only that he knew what he knew.

Changsun Wuji looked at him and felt that His Majesty Li Er didn't know anything in his heart.

Changsun Wuji went to Wei Zheng for a while, and vaguely mentioned the terrible thoughts of His Majesty Li Er.

Wei Zheng said slowly: "I was ill at the beginning of the year."

Changsun Wuji said, "Isn't it all right?"

Wei Zheng still responded slowly: "Times are good and times are not good. That's how people get old. It's easy to get sick, but it's hard to get well, and I can't do anything about it."

Longsun Wuji is angry.

This old Wei had such a grandson-in-law, and his behavior became more and more itchy.

His daughter was also married to the prince of the clan in the early years, so why didn't he see him protect her like this? !

Wei Zheng left slowly, leaving Long Sun Wuji alone there to get angry. Wei Zhengcai didn't get involved with this matter. Li Yuanying was slaughtering the big family, not the people. If someone transfers the matter to the people, he will naturally stand up for impeachment. As for whether Changsun Wuji will be slaughtered, it is not within his scope of consideration.

After Li Yuanying finished writing the zhezi, she left her behind, not knowing that his emperor brother turned his mind to Mount Tai because of his pioneering act of forcing the donation to the palace. After all he could do, Li Yuanying began to go down to the end to understand the folk customs. There was the case of Wujiacun last time. This time he did not run into any bad things, but was invited by the enthusiastic people to eat delicious food every day. The belly is rounded after eating.

In the hot summer, Li Yuanying felt that the weather was too hot, so she asked people to send county office affairs to the shore of Meipi Lake, and she worked by the water every day, which was very cool. When he got interested, he even called the Erlang who was good at rowing to take him boating on the lake and chatting through the hot summer.

The renovation work of the Palace of Supreme Harmony is already in full swing. Li Yuanying only recruited a group of people to build the Tengwang Pavilion for him, and the manpower required for the renovation of other buildings was all drawn by the funders themselves. In fact, the efficiency of giving money to people’s work is not low at all. Li Yuanying’s Tengwang Pavilion was built first and was to be used as a demonstration. His Tengwang Pavilion is still slowly building the third floor.

People’s Tengwang Pavilion has not been built yet, so naturally everyone is not embarrassed to leave early. At least people who come to work want to get more money, so they come up with many new ideas back and forth to see if they can build on the original basis. Innovate and innovate again, and build the pavilions and pavilions claimed by the owner to be more distinctive and eye-catching.

As a result, all the craftsmen became more vigorous, repaired and repaired, changed and changed, no one was not meticulous, and no one was not exquisite. Everyone has no objection. The money is spent. Who doesn't want to paint more worthwhile? Since they have already made a big shot, they won't save the wages of these two days, and they must not let others steal the limelight, and appear to be unsatisfied!

Towards the end of summer, Li Yuanying's two kinds of watermelons can be eaten, the first planted is bigger and the later planted is smaller. No one dared to cut first. According to the method taught by Dai Ting, he buckled a button every day to see if it was ripe. When he was sure it was ripe, he took it off and sent it to Li Yuanying to cut it.

Li Yuanying heard that the melons on both sides were ripe together. She was very happy and asked all the friends to come to see him cut the melons. The servants in the county office have been with Li Yuanying for a long time, and they are not afraid of the rumored little devil. They sent a representative to ask, "Your Highness, can we see it?"

Li Yuanying said: "Anything you can't see, come!"

Li Yuanying now lives in a house by the lake, and works in the long pavilion by the lake every day, and he also cuts melons in the long pavilion. After hearing the news, the government officials and the neighboring people surrounded the long pavilion, craned their necks and looked inside, wanting to see what the melon that Li Yuanying specifically called a human race was like. Someone said that it was brought back from a place far and far away in the west. It was called a watermelon!

Li Yuanying didn't expect such a big disturbance, but he always liked the excitement. He was very happy to see so many people. He introduced the melon to everyone enthusiastically, saying that this melon came from the Western Regions and it was called Watermelon. I heard that It is juicy to cool off the heat, and people in the west call it cold melon! Although it is not so hot right now, it is planted this year, and it will definitely be planted next year. By that time, everyone will eat watermelon in summer and it will be comfortable!

Li Yuanying said with joy, and the others listened with gusto, and when he looked at the two big and round chiguas, he was almost drooling!

Li Yuanying didn't sell it for too long. Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, he picked up the knife under everyone's attention and personally cut one of the big round watermelons. He made the knife a little bit shallower and didn't cut it completely, but he heard a click with a little harder and split it in half.

What's disappointing is that this melon is really not very red, only a few red scoops with the size of a baby's fist hidden in the middle. There is a lot of juice, and it flows freely along the break, so it's not bad to look at!

Li Yuanying knew at a glance that these were the melon seeds that Dai Ting brought back from the northwest of Tubo. The previous plants did not grow well, and the melons were gone when they were not ripe. They were grown by seeds. He wasn't in a hurry to taste it, but smiled and said to Wei Shu on the left and right: "It has less red scoops, let's call it "A Little Red"."

Named the watermelon variety, Li Yuanying started to cut another watermelon. Although the melon just now is big, it has no visual impact. Everyone just thinks it is a relatively large melon, but there is no feeling of wanting to eat it. But when Li Yuanying went down this time, everyone took a breath!

This melon is so beautiful!

The scoop inside is so red that people will give birth to all kinds of love at first sight, the red scoop, the black seed, and the white and green skin! Not only the colors are so gorgeous that people can't move their eyes, but the bright red juice that looks so sweet is even more regrettable-don't let it flow in vain, it's great to give them a taste!

There is such a melon in the world!

Even if you haven't tasted it, everyone present has already liked it. If there is a chance in the future, they must taste it!

The only one who didn't need to be envious was Li Yuanying. He was very satisfied with this new melon, named it "Man Jiang Hong", and divided it into his friends on the spot, and shared the excess to the servants who were on his side.

He didn't let the "a little bit of red" brought back by Dai Ting either left indifferent, but also tasted something fresh. In all fairness, if there is no "manjianghong" as a comparison, the melon seeds that Dai Ting brought back are already very good, at least the juice is sweet and it is a good product for relieving heat.

Li Yuanying called Dong Xiaoyi to instruct his planting team underneath to practice with "A Little Red", hone the level of selection and breeding, and then plant things in the direction they need.

Dong Xiaoyi took the order seriously.

Li Yuanying's cutting of watermelons in public was quickly spread as an anecdote throughout Huxian County. The next day, several large and round watermelons flew back to Chang'an with Li Yuanying's attendants. Although the journey is not too far away, Li Yuanying still sent the melon vine into Beijing very intimately, lest it would be stale when it was sent to Majesty Li!

The melon sent to His Majesty Li Er is still on the way, and Li Yuanying has fulfilled his promise to host a banquet in Fengtai Building to entertain the wealthy and wealthy families who have funded the renovation of the palace.

Everyone has heard that the watermelon that Li Yuanying asked people to grow is big and good, and they are all looking forward to it. It is said that this is the only melon of Datang, at least many caravans traveling north and south have not heard of this watermelon. Li Yuanying said that he wanted to teach them to grow this kind of melons. Wouldn't their Huxian people master this unique business? !

Li Yuanying took various representatives to enjoy singing and dancing, and ate a meal. When everyone couldn't help but began to move their buttocks and stopped talking, he clapped his hands and asked people to bring melons up——

One small piece per person.

Li Yuanying also said: "The little black kernels chasing on this melon are the seeds of the watermelon. You should be careful when you eat them and spit them out. When the banquet is over, you can also bring them back to try planting."

Everyone was a little confused.

This little demon king, won't be so shameless, just send them away with such a small piece of melon? Although they have to admit that this piece of melon looks delicious, they donated a building! Is it just a piece of melon in exchange for an entire building? !

Seeing everyone's expressions of "how can you be so shameless", Li Yuanying smiled and added: "Next spring, I will let people formally teach everyone to grow."

The author has something to say:

Little prince: teasing you, you really believe it!

Regarding the Palace of Supreme Harmony, it is recorded in the "Book of Old Tang Dynasty". It is stated in the "Book of Old Tang Dynasty" that in April, Li Yuan ordered the building of the Palace of Supreme Harmony. Month. Later, His Majesty Li Er wanted to escape from the summer heat. One month before he called someone to renovate, and the next month passed by himself...(.)

Here, I’m going to fry another cold meal that I left on Weibo. It’s like this↓ Your Majesty Li Er put on a palace candle to greet the Chinese New Year. He happily picked up the former queen and asked her: You see, I did this. How? How did you celebrate the New Year in the Sui Dynasty?

The former queen dare not speak.

His Majesty Li Er asked: Tell me!

The queen of the former dynasty could only describe to him: At that time, dozens of bonfires were to be placed in front of the temple, all of which were agarwood, and special oils were poured. ! In the palace, if you don’t light your candle or your oil lamp, with 120 night pearls, everything is as bright as day, and there is no candle oil smell!

His Majesty Li Er:...

Anyway, it smells like poverty!
