Chapter 486: Sacrifice the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor(1/2)
"Your Majesty, think twice!" The civil and military officials persuaded them with all their hearts.
However, Li Kuang waved his sleeves: "I have decided, so there is no need to persuade me anymore! Besides, what are you afraid of with the national master accompanying you to protect me? If the national master cannot protect me, even if you stay in this Ming Palace, it will not be safe! Just retreat to the court!"
All the officials in the court looked at me and I saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
However, since there is a national teacher accompanying you, you can feel a little relieved. After all, Chen Jingle's strength is obvious to everyone.
...
Sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is a major national event, so naturally we cannot easily settle it.
The problem is that the world is full of wars and it is not peaceful. Li Kuang wants to leave Chang'an City and go to Shengping County, which is actually quite risky.
This is not modern, you can get there in an hour by taking the high-speed train.
These days, Chang'an has been from Shengping County for more than 300 miles. Without the spacious avenues of later generations, or with the large army advancing, it would be impossible to reach it without a short half a month.
However, Chen Jingle finally chose to agree.
In fact, he understood Li Kuan’s thoughts.
If there was no accident, Li Kuang might have been the last emperor of Li Tang. After his death, the world will enter the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period from then on.
However, Chen Jingle appeared, rewritten the original history at least temporarily, rewriting it, resuming Li Tang's life. As for how long it can last, it depends on how the situation will go later.
At present, the situation is not a little better than before. Chang'an City is becoming more and more stable, and people's hearts are turning back. Military power has begun to be taken back to the court, and Han Jian and Li Maozhen's territory was also recovered by the court. Sixty thousand troops in hand are enough to stave the northwest and dominate one side.
Therefore, Li Kuang also rekindled his hope and wanted to re-order the world through hard work.
Li Kuang himself is still a little capable. Although he has been a puppet emperor in the past few years, he has not missed what he should learn and what he should understand. There are also books that Chen Jingle asked him to read recently.
It was this seriousness that made Chen Jingle quite optimistic about him, otherwise, if it were a king like Liu A Dou, Chen Jingle would rather support someone to become the emperor again.
Since the decision to sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum has been made, we must prepare in advance.
Sixty thousand Shen Ce Army, except for 30,000 stationed outside, 10,000 were left to guard the capital, and 20,000 were left to protect Li Kuang and went to Shengping County. The civil and military officials and the Imperial College Priests were accompanied by wine.
Chen Jingle naturally went there together.
With him here, there is basically no need to worry about the safety of Emperor Tang Li Kuang, but for the sake of the personal safety of others, the vanguard troops were sent to clean up the road.
What kind of bandits are there to sweep the raids and arrest them. It just so happens that there are so many places that need to build roads, mines, and canals, and there are not enough people everywhere.
After the news that the emperor was about to sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum spread, there was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City.
"Hey, have you heard of it? Your Majesty wants to sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum!"
"I heard from the cousin of Lao Wang, who was a member of the Shence Army next door, that's the case, but it's still unclear when it will go."
"I heard that the National Normal University will accompany you?"
"It should be possible. How could the great things like sacrificing the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum be less than the National Master!"
“…”
The people were curious and were quite looking forward to it. After all, as the first tribe of the Chinese people, Xuanyuan Huangdi still had a high status in people's minds.
But I just pay a little attention to it and act as a chat after dinner. This kind of thing is too far from their lives, so it is better to spend more time making money and living.
However, some time ago, the behavior of all Taoist gangs traveling around the streets and alleys to the countryside for free medical treatment caused a great sensation among the people. In addition, the "national hospital" to be built, the government notice stated that it will initiate recruitment for children and young people of the age of the world, and those interested in applying can sign up to participate.
As long as you pass the screening, you can become an apprentice in a national hospital, teaching both reading and literacy, and teaching treatment and medicine.
Girls can also register, and they are preferred!
Many families are eagerly looking forward to seeing whether their children can be selected.
Nowadays, if you can become a doctor, at least you don’t have to work hard to cultivate the fields for the rest of your life. If you are appreciated by the National Master again, you will really reach the top in one step.
"I heard that the national master recently suggested to His Majesty that he would recruit homeless refugees to repair water conservancy and get what kind of labor-for-relief? The young man doesn't understand, but I heard that not only rice is enough, but also wages. If it weren't for the old man, I would have wanted to go."
"That's right? By the way, since the national tutor came, the days in Chang'an City have been getting better and better day by day. I heard that other states are still fighting wars, and their lives are much worse than ours."
"It's a pity that my brother, if the national master had come five years earlier, he wouldn't have to starve to death..."
“…”
In fact, the people have a sizable stake in their hearts who treat them well and who treat them badly. This is the reason why people are going to and what the general trend is.
...
The last day that the officials of Sitiantai chose was the ninth day of next month, which is the Double Ninth Festival.
Li Kuang made the decision to agree, and with an order, the army set out. The mighty team set out directly from Xuanwu Gate.
As soon as he left Chang'an, Li Kuang said, "The national teacher and I have a car together."
Eunuch Wang said carefully: "Your Majesty, this... is not in accordance with the rules!"
He was reminding Li Kuan, and he was afraid that the court officials would have any objections.
"What I said is the rule."
Li Kuang snorted heavily, looked at Chen Jingle, and smiled: "The national teacher doesn't need to pay attention to others, I want to see who dares to object. And I have something to do with the national teacher."
"Yes." Chen Jingle naturally had no objection.
Although Li Kuang's carriage is not luxurious, it is much more spacious than others. There are thick cushions underneath. There are two palace maids serving their daily life by their side, and there are only two.
After sitting down, Li Kuang personally poured tea for Chen Jingle: "I have known about the return of Buddhist monks and nuns to secular life, and I have done a good job!"
Even Li Kuang was a little unexpected to be able to pour out so much money, food and property from the Buddhist temple in the world, so he even gritted his teeth at Buddhism.
Then he said, "Now the national treasury is becoming more and more abundant, but the people in the world are still suffering from famine. How can the national teacher teach me?"
"develop."
Chen Jingle replied in two words, and when he saw Li Kuang's face, he explained: "The so-called development is a process of progress and change from birth, which is the continuous renewal of things.
For example, agricultural tools, from the plows and hoes in ancient times to the current Xuanyuan plows, hoes, and irrigation trolleys, this is a development process.
The same principle can be applied to other fields, such as military weapons, iron smelting technology, etc. The country needs to develop. Only when it develops can it become stronger, leave other vassal states behind, and finally pacify and unify!"
Speaking of the unification of the world, Li Kuang threw all his distractions behind his mind and listened extremely seriously.
Chen Jingle sorted out his thoughts: "The reason why the people are not full is naturally because they don't have enough food. Since there is not enough food, what should I do? The solution is nothing more than promoting arable land and sowing and farming harvests. This is development!"
"But this is not enough. We should also consider how to increase the grain yield per unit, such as increasing the yield per mu by 200 kilograms to a yield per mu by 1,000 kilograms. At that time, Your Majesty thinks, will anyone in the world still go hungry?"
Li Kuang nodded suddenly and turned to startled in surprise and looked up: "The yield per mu is a thousand kilograms? Isn't that a method of immortals?!"
The two little palace maids behind him were originally cautiously pricked up their ears, but they were stunned by the hearing.
Have you ever heard of anyone in this world who produces a thousand pounds per mu of grain? I'm afraid that only immortals can do it?
The national teacher is indeed an immortal!
Chen Jingle laughed loudly. The boss who later generations who increased grain yields steadily was known as Shennong in the new century.
However, it also makes some people eat too much and think about making trouble all day long.
Chen Jingle smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is OK to produce a thousand kilograms per mu, but with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is more difficult to achieve. It is better to increase the output to three to five hundred kilograms first."
Even if the output is doubled, it will make the world less famine refugees.
And he has a huge killer that the historical time travelers must have prepared!
That is sweet potato, also called sweet potato.
Almost every historical traveler before the Ming Dynasty would use this great killing weapon and use auspicious and divine objects to fool the emperors and ministers.
There is no way, the yield of this thing is amazing, and you don’t pick up land. You can cultivate it in front of and behind the house, in fat and dry fields, and in slopes and paddy fields.
Although you cannot eat too much sweet potatoes and your stomach will be pancreatic, for many people who are unable to eat enough in this era, pancreatic acid is nothing. As long as you can't eat it, it's enough.
Chen Jingle remembers that this thing seemed to have not appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but it was introduced to China from the Philippines in the Ming Dynasty.
You have to find an opportunity to go there.
Chen Jingle said: "There is a lot of knowledge about how to increase grain production. You must invest it as soon as possible, but you cannot be in a hurry. I hope that Your Majesty can pay more attention to people's livelihood and understand people's conditions. Never be the Emperor Hui of Jin who doesn't eat meat."
Li Kuang said seriously and respectfully: "I understand!"
Immediately afterwards, he asked Chen Jingle for many other questions.
Finally, he sighed: "I can't get to the level of the national teacher!"
Chen Jingle just shook his head and chuckled: "I heard that there are orders of knowledge and specialized in art. Your Majesty now understands these principles, and it is not too late."
If you stand on the shoulders of a civilized country for five thousand years, you will naturally be ahead of this era.
Chen Jingle hesitated for a moment and said, "If one day I am gone, Your Majesty must remember to work hard to develop and strengthen the Li Tang dynasty, occupies the Central Plains, attack the nomadic tribes in the north, destroy the Tubo tribes in the west, and make hundreds of tribes in the South Vietnam submit to the prosperous times, and then the prosperous times of all countries, that minister... has no regrets."
"National Master..." Li Kuang was stunned and frowned slightly.
Chen Jingle reached out to interrupt, shook his head and said, "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are. No one can predict the future."
"I understand!" Li Kuang took a deep breath and Zheng pointed.
...
Seven days later, the large army finally arrived in Shengping County.
The journey was exhausted and almost broke the old ministers' bones.
To be continued...
