Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 321 This is Datang

  Chapter 321 This is Datang

More than a dozen teenagers talked about their opinions on flood control. The elders had rich experience, and they smiled when they heard the right ones, and didn't scold them when they heard the wrong ones. Today's debate.

  Those teenagers said things differently and lacked rationality, so the Yang Zhao brothers just listened with smiles.

  After Yang Yuan opened his mouth, he was quite organized, which made them cheer up and listen carefully.

   "Thirdly, ask people to check the people's surplus grain. If it is insufficient, they don't need to wait for the consent of Shangguan and Chang'an, and immediately open the warehouse to release grain..."

  Yang Yuan said very seriously: "Whenever there is a famine, the first priority is to feed the people. If this cannot be done, all the previous talk is empty talk."

  He went on to say: "Afterwards, quicklime will be used to sterilize everywhere, and medicinal materials will be prepared in the son's house, and the common people will be treated for free..."

  A brother of Yang Zhao praised: "Brother, Da Lang has grown up."

  Yang Zhao sneered and said, "Nizi is just talking nonsense."

  Everyone laughed, thinking he was humble.

  Yang Zhao asked: "My old man asks you, why is food the number one priority?"

   This is a group of people who have never tasted hunger.

  Yang Yuan said: "If the people don't have enough to eat, they are afraid of revolting."

  Yang Zhao nodded, and he agreed with this point, "What matters in a famine is people's hearts. Send troops to patrol around..."

   This is Yang Zhao's top priority, and the brothers also nodded slightly.

  Yang Yuan felt something was wrong.

   "Aye, that's not right."

   "Why?" Yang Zhao was a little annoyed, feeling that this son was messing around.

  Yang Yuan said: "Aye, in the event of a famine, the first priority is to let the people and the victims see hope!"

Um?

   What the **** is this?

  At this moment, the Tang Dynasty is strictly hierarchical. As a group of scholar-bureaucrats, the starting point of the Yang family is to solve possible problems.

   "What do you mean?" Yang Zhao frowned slightly.

Yang Yuan said: "As long as the people have something to eat, as long as they can avoid being starved to death, they will obey the orders of the officials and do what they are asked to do. So let them see the food, even if it is one meal a day. If you only care about other things, when the victims are starving, no matter how meek they are, they will turn into tigers and wolves!"

   "Giving hope to the victims is what officials should do most when they encounter a famine. When they are cold, they have clothes to wear and a fire to cook; when they are hungry, they have food to eat, that's all."

  He stood up and left.

  Everyone was silent.

   "Give hope to disaster victims?"

  Yang Xuan muttered, "What kind of statement is this?"

  A maid who was scouting at the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty is really good."

  Yang Zhao's heart moved, and he said: "This maidservant escaped from a famine at home, Xiang Ye, tell me."

  The maid came out, lowering her head and not daring to look at these men, "Ah Lang, the village where the slaves lived encountered a flood, and the government also sent troops to patrol the cruise line first, warning them not to move rashly...but the food in the house was washed away, and the hunger and cold were unbearable..."

  Yang Zhao's expression moved slightly.

   Does that naughty son still know this?

The maid continued: "Before the government's food arrived, more than ten people had starved to death. The rest clamored to be robbed, so they went to the city to plunder. As a result, the government had prepared for it and killed them all. Their heads hung in the city. outside the door..."

  The maid raised her head, her eyes were completely blank.

  Yang Xuan said: "This official actually thinks about his official position first, and ignores the people... a dog official!"

   Someone said: "But we also said that before."

   Deathly silence.

  Yang Xuan murmured: "Someone thinks that people should have food in their homes."

   A group of people are discussing the way of being an official based on imagination. If Jia Ping'an was there, they would definitely denounce it.

  Yang Zhao was shocked, "Let Da Lang come back."

  Yang Yuan came back, but a little impatient.

  He doesn't like to debate with these relatives who talk about war on paper. After being taught by Jia Ping'an, he feels that these uncles and brothers are a little naive.

   "How do you know this?" Yang Zhao didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

  He was also one of the members who yelled at Xinxue, but Yang Yuan rebelled and went to Xinxue, so Yang Yuan could only go home and squat in embarrassment, ashamed to denounce Xinxue with those people.

  Yang Yuan said: "The disinfection of quicklime is taught by new learning. Give the people hope first, this is a certain one's own perception."

"tell me the story."

  Everyone is in high spirits.

Yang Yuan said: "I have been building a city with the peasants in the south of the city for the past few days. Although the peasants are poor, they are very happy. So I asked a peasant, and the peasant said... so what if you are not happy? How can you live well if you are not happy? some?"

  He raised his head with a solemn expression: "Aye, all the people want is hope, as long as they can eat and clothe themselves warmly, let them see hope, no natural or man-made disaster can shake their loyalty to Datang!"

  Boom!

   These words shocked everyone.

  Yang Zhao murmured: "Hope?"

  Yang Yuan nodded, and then took his leave again.

   Everyone looked at his back and couldn't help being silent.

  A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy shouted: "I don't understand what the elder brother said, but I think the elder brother is amazing!"

  Yang Zhao had a complicated look on his face, and wanted to say something out of the ordinary, but in the end, he said, "This naughty son, this naughty son..."

But one of his brothers said happily: "Brother, Da Lang thinks that what he said is right. He failed the imperial examination several times back then, and he was heartbroken. If you and other brothers said that certain poems and essays were enough , It’s just that the chances are close, and I’m afraid I’ll give up completely at that time. Isn’t this what Da Lang said to make people see hope?”

   "Yeah! Hope!"

  Yang Zhao stood up and said, "The children are probably hungry, so bring the food and drinks."

   Several brothers pointed at him and laughed.

   After dinner, the family all went back.

  Yang Zhao slowly entered his son's room. Seeing him reading a book, he went over to take a look, his face darkened.

   "New learning, new learning, knowing new learning all day long, what can new learning learn? Learn some knowledge about building houses and building cities?"

  Yang Yuan raised his head, "Aye, new learning can not only repair houses, but also cultivate people."

  Yang Zhao said with a straight face: "Ridiculous!"

  Yang Yuan waited for his follow-up criticism.

  But Yang Zhao called it a day, and left muttering something like 'you'll regret it sooner or later'.

   It's strange, Aye is lack of energy today?

  …

  Young people always feel that life is too slow, and they are suffering all day long!

  They don't know why they feel uncomfortable, as if tomorrow will be better, or they want to escape the uncomfortable today...

  The repair project in the south of the city was completed, and Li Yuanying and others returned to school.

"Who are you…"

   Those who need to enter and leave the imperial city frequently must report every month. When entering the city, a small official took the documents to check.

   "Are you King Teng?"

  He couldn't connect the black charcoal in front of him with that free and easy His Royal Highness Teng Wang, and this person's face was shed, with black and white patches, which was extremely ugly.

  Li Yuanying felt ashamed, covered his face and said: "This king is tanned, let him go quickly, or I will deal with you later."

  The little official verified Li Yuanying's identity very seriously, and finally even invited people from the palace to check.

   Shame!

  Li scumbag wished he could take out the slingshot and give it to him.

  Arrived at the school, Jia Ping'an had already arrived. Looking at the dozen or so students who were not in the dark, he smiled unkindly.

   "The palms are blistered, and the skin is shedding on the face. It seems that you did a good job..."

  Li Yuanying felt that this gentleman was gloating, so he quickly drew something on the paper.

   "What have you learned in the past few days? Let's talk about it."

   Jia Ping'an walked down, listening to the students' sentiments, and walked slowly.

   When he walked to Li Yuanying's side, what did he see?

  Li Yuanying is drawing a person, an exaggerated person.

  With a big mouth and small eyes, he looks extraordinarily wretched...

   "Good drawing."

  Li Yuanying smiled and said: "It's just doing it casually, it's not worth talking about."

  He felt that Jia Pingan didn't know who he was painting, so he smiled very proudly.

   "I will draw 50 copies of it later, and hand it in tomorrow."

  Li Yuanying collapsed instantly...

   Such days are really comfortable!

   After class was over late, Jia Pingan returned to Baiqi, found an excuse and slipped away.

  Shao Peng said: "If Old Tang is here, how dare you be so unscrupulous!"

  …

  The grassland in summer looks lush.

   More than three hundred Turkic cavalry in chaotic clothes are galloping.

  There is a group of sheep on the right, moving slowly on the grass like white clouds.

   "Hurry up!"

  The leading leader took out the water bag and took a sip, and said: "We have robbed a lot of food this time, so we went to find Sabolo Khan."

   "Kasha Boluo was defeated by the Tang people."

   "So what about defeat? We can be defeated, but the Tang people cannot be defeated. Sabolo Khan has found many tribes along the way, life will be easier, let's go to rely on..."

  The leader looked at the flock of sheep and thought of the fatness of the roasted whole sheep, so he couldn't help licking his lips, "Go and get some sheep to eat on the way."

  Everyone rode their horses and turned to the right.

   "Run!"

  The shepherds are also Turks, but they have taken refuge in the Tang people. If they don’t leave, they will definitely be killed here.

   "Kill him!" The leader worried that the shepherd would report the news, so he ordered people to silence him.

  The two riders rushed out, drawing bows and arrows on horseback.

   "Captain, do you want to save him?"

  In a low-lying place not far away, Tang Xu in armor shook his head, "No need."

  The two riders chased the shepherds to the left, while the Turks were shooting and killing the fat sheep, and then dismounted to clean them up.

  Tang Xu got on his horse, "Attack!"

  The leader said that as long as there are a few sheep, it will be eaten by him and his confidantes, but no one is a fool, so why should I only eat bran and swallow vegetables?

  Everyone shot a sheep and carried it over.

  The sound of horseshoes came suddenly.

  The leader looked up and saw two hundred Tang troops charging towards him.

   "It's Tang Jun!"

   "We're ambushed!"

   Those Turkic people ran wildly towards their horses, and some even carried fat sheep.

  The horses are galloping, and the Tang army on horseback draws their bows and arrows.

   "Shoot the arrow!"

  Arrows flew, and the running Turkic man fell down. Some people knelt down and shouted, but the arrows still pierced his body.

  The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, Tang Jun drew out his horizontal knife, and easily beheaded the fleeing enemy.

   Several Turkic people turned around and drew their swords to fight back.

   "Kill!"

  Tang Xu stopped shooting arrows, and teams of cavalry rushed forward in turn.

  clang clang clang...

   One knife.

  Two knives.

  Three knives...

   After blocking three swords in a row, the fourth sword wiped the enemy's throat.

  The cavalry rushed over, with corpses behind them!

   "Run!"

  The leader didn't get off his horse, so he escaped first with more than ten riders.

  He frantically hit the horse while looking back.

   "Tang Jun didn't catch up, hahahaha!"

  The leader couldn't help laughing.

  More than a dozen people are his confidantes, and they all laughed.

   "Those Tang soldiers don't know my identity, and they will definitely regret it after torture later!"

  The leader glanced back, his eyelids twitching.

  Those Tang troops easily surrounded and killed his subordinates. Many people knelt down and begged to surrender, but they were still beheaded.

  The leader shuddered, knowing that it was because his own people killed the Tang people during the looting.

   "Run!"

  According to the posture of the Tang people, if they were caught, the leader would most likely be hanged alive.

  The war horse is also up to speed, and runs extremely fast.

   "Let's go find Sabolo Khan, and come back and kill all the Tang people!"

  The leader shouted unwillingly.

  The Turks in front suddenly reined in their horses.

  The war horse neighed, and the leader shouted, "Why did it stop?"

   Silently.

  The leader rushed forward and yanked the reins.

   Dozens of rides are accelerating.

   "Go left!"

  They beat their horses and headed to the left.

   Just about to speed up, someone shouted: "There are people here too."

  So everyone went to the right.

   There are also dozens of cavalry approaching on the right.

  The leader rode his horse in a circle, and shouted in despair: "Why are the people of Tang come here to hunt us down in such a big way? Why?"

   Tang Jun encircled from all sides, and Tang Xu came first.

   "Get off your horse, drop your sword and kneel down!"

  Behind him is Tang Jun with his bow and arrow.

  The leader held a long knife, trembling all over.

  He knew that his fate would not be very good, maybe it would be miserable.

  But people have a fluke mentality, and they fool themselves, just to live longer.

  The leader dismounted first and knelt down.

  Most of the confidantes were like this, but Yiqi yelled and rushed towards Tang Xu.

   "Don't shoot the arrow!"

   Tang Xu drew his sword and went up to him.

  clang!

  After a face-to-face encounter, the enemy cavalry and Tang Xu passed by. Gradually, the enemy's body shook, and then fell off the horse.

  The war horse ran with a long hiss, and the enemy with one foot hanging on the stirrup was dragged away.

  Tang Xu sheathed his sword, "I took them all."

   On the third day, they returned to Shanyu Duhu Mansion.

   Those Turkic people looked at the captives who were escorted with complicated expressions, and there was no sympathy. Just a few days ago, this group of Turks raided their camp, took away a lot of dry food, and killed many people. One of the small officials who came to inspect was a Tang.

  So the Tang people were furious, and immediately dispatched cavalry to chase and kill them.

   I remember that Huang Wen, the head of the military department in the Shanyu Duhu Mansion, went crazy that day, yelling and cursing the garrison, saying that if you can't catch those culprits, don't come back.

  Once the Tang people are killed, the revenge is like tarsal maggots, and there is no escape.

   "Captain Tang!"

  Huang Wen came, his burnt-yellow face was full of anger, and when he saw him, he scolded: "Did you catch those bastards?"

  Tang Xu turned around and waved, and the dozen or so people were brought up.

   "There are more than 300 people left, and the brothers are chasing and killing, and they don't even care about eating, so hurry up and get some delicious food."

  Huang Wen dismounted and went over, lifted the leader's hair, and roughly opened his mouth, "Aha! Look, the teeth are still neat. It can be seen that they are all leaders who use knives to cut meat and eat without gnawing bones."

   Tang Xu shook his head, thinking that such a head of the military department would probably not be recognized by his colleagues after returning to Chang'an.

  Huang Wen slapped the leader's nose to spurt blood, but the leader smiled obsequiously.

  He just wants to survive, as for the Shaboluo Khan, it is the clouds in the sky, which he cannot reach.

Huang Wen kicked it away, and then laughed loudly: "You poor dog slave, if you dare to lead people to attack Datang and kill the officials of Datang, you will not escape death even if you go to the ends of the earth. Today... Xiaowei Tang, Are there any novel methods?"

  Tang Xu said lightly: "Yes."

  He sent someone to find a stick.

   "Sharpen your head."

  Huang Wen was puzzled, "What does this mean?"

  Tang Xu squatted on the ground eating Hoto, raised his head and said, "Pick up the person later, and Gu Dao will put it down toward the tip."

   "Wonderful!" Huang Wen said excitedly: "A person is so heavy, he will naturally fall down, so he can only clamp the valley road, but it is useless..."

   Does this person have a similar experience?

   Tang Xu couldn't help being curious.

  Huang Wen didn't pay attention to his weird eyes, "Lieutenant Tang actually has such means, which shows that his background is extraordinary. No wonder he has been in charge of Baiqi for many years."

   "This method is not someone's." Tang Xu smiled, thinking of that boy.

   "Could it be someone in the army?" Huang Wen looked a little excited, "I buried a wooden stake in the desert, and there were hundreds of enemies sitting on it... What a spectacular scene! Just thinking about it makes me excited."

  Can wooden piles be buried on sand dunes?

   Tang Xu lowered his head and continued to eat.

  He has just arrived here, so he must be more cautious, slowly test the dispositions of these colleagues and colleagues, and integrate step by step.

  The boss Huang in front of him is the target he needs to get close to. If he can't, it will be difficult for him to pass his plans in the future.

   "Hey! It's not easy to bury wooden piles in the desert." Huang Wen came to his senses, staring at Tang Xu with piercing eyes and asked, "Whose idea?"

   "Wuyang Bojia is safe."

   Tang Xu added: "After XX left, he took over Baiqi."

"It's him?"

   Huang Wen asked, "Are you familiar with him?"

  What does this person mean?

  Tang Xu was a little confused by his burning eyes, "Uncle Wuyang has been riding in Baiqi, and I am very close to him."

"Hahahaha!" Huang Wen laughed loudly and said, "As soon as you mention him, you will know. You just came, maybe you don't know that there is a big Beijing Temple nearby? That's what Uncle Wuyang left here last time. In that battle, he scared all those tribes, and up to now, the people in Shanyu Duhufu have been honest."

   "You haven't been to see it, then Jingguan..." Huang Wen talked about Jingguan, Tang Xu looked at the remaining half bowl of Huto, continued to eat with a wry smile.

  Later, Huang Wen called the people from those tribes.

  The leader was stripped naked. He looked at the sharpened wooden stake. Although he didn't know what it was for, the fear of the unknown made him cry and begged unceasingly.

   Later, thieves sat on the stakes.

  Amidst the screams, Huang Wen turned around and said to Tang Xu: "Old Tang... Captain Tang, you don't mind if you call me like this?"

  Since the first meeting, Huang Wen has been more than polite to Tang Xu, but not clear enough. Now that he has changed his name, Tang Xu is overjoyed, "This is how you are kind."

  Huang Wen asked with a smile: "Uncle Wuyang said that he is unparalleled in poetry. Although a certain person is here, the people from Chang'an also brought his poems, and a certain one likes the song of Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain the most..."

   Tang Xu smiled and told him some things about Jia Pingan's poems, especially the things that caused prostitutes to pursue him in the brothel...

  The more they talked, the closer they got, and finally they went drinking together.

  In the distance, the setting sun is setting, and the grassland is golden. A group of Tang cavalry galloped past under the setting sun, drawing cheers.

   "Victory!"

  The tribes are cheering.

  Tang Xu and Huang Wen turned around and saw the cavalry galloping towards them, with human heads hanging on the flagpole, they knew it was a small tribe that had wiped out a certain rebellion.

  The cavalry held their heads high and their chests high, their eyes staring blankly.

  Tang Xu's blood was rushing in his chest, and when he looked sideways, he found that Huang Wen's eyes were filled with tears.

   "This is Datang!"

  That kind of pride!

   Seeing that some book friends said that Chang'an City should be a brick city, sir, let me tell you here: Chang'an City was first built in the second year of Kaihuang in the former Sui Dynasty, and then it was repaired many times. The first time was in the ninth year of Emperor Yangdi's great cause, "a hundred thousand men were given birth to a city of great prosperity"; the second time was in the fourth year of Li Zhi's Yonghui, "Let the world's import tax be one money, build it more", "build the capital Luoguo , Hire 41,000 people from Jingzhao, and build the boards for 30 days. '.

   The so-called slab construction refers to rammed earth slab construction, not brickwork.
