Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 161 Celebrating the whole world
Naturally, Li Yuan's voice could not be heard from below.However, there was no other way, Liu Hongji immediately asked the messenger to wave the flag, and use the semaphore to convey the saint's order to the guards under the city wall.

When the guards saw the semaphore, they immediately shouted: "The sage ordered me to die, no courtesy!"

The crowd shouted in unison: "Thank you saint."

Instead, they stood up one after another. There were polite ones who knew how to bow their heads, and those ignorant and courageous ones who were still looking up at the city wall. However, no one dared to point their fingers.

Li Yuan was waving his hands excitedly, and the officials were also full of glory——

Today's scene will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books.With this paragraph, no official historian will easily belittle Li Yuan's literary and martial arts.And Li Yuan's achievements as an emperor are naturally inseparable from the assistance of the ministers.The ministers are naturally honored, and their faces are full of glory.

It can be said that everyone is happy, and the whole world celebrates.

Pei Ji said excitedly: "Ya Shengyun, the time and place are favorable for the harmony of people. It is the right time for auspiciousness to appear in the world, and it is the right time for my Great Tang to plant a high yield. Now all the people gather together and spontaneously shout three times long live to repay the grace of God. It is the harmony of people. Three If you have everything, why worry about my Tang Dynasty not being prosperous? My congratulations to the saint."

The ministers also reacted at this moment: "Congratulations, saint!"

Li Yuan smiled complacently, and said: "I have today, which is the result of all your ministers' dedicated assistance. I should share this grand event with all your ministers."

"First, there are sages who accept advice humbly, and Fang Youchen and others are the fruit of their wholehearted assistance. The saints are wise!"

"The saint is wise!"

Li Yuan and his courtiers supported each other with a tacit understanding.However, it is not surprising that the monarch and his ministers praise each other when they are beaming and full of ambition.Human nature is understandable.

"Sage, the representative of the people has arrived."

Only then did Li Yuan withdraw his waving hand, turned around and left the city, and went down the city wall.The people in the city, whoever did something brave and good, shouted: "Respectfully send the saint, the saint is safe!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. On the way down the city wall, everyone was smiling and happy.There are many ministers with the same expression as Li Yuan, and everyone looks beaming and happy.

Under the city wall, inside the city gate, there are three representatives from the common people to meet——

There are old men with white beard and hair and walking on crutches, middle-aged people dressed as Confucian scholars, and peasants dressed as farmers.

"The grassroots pay homage to the sage, all blessings to the sage."

When the three of them saw Li Yuan coming down, they didn't dare to take a look, and bowed down directly.Li Yuan said: "Excuse me, let me be flat. Come on, help the elder to get up quickly."

"Here."

Immediately, Xiao Huangmen stepped forward and helped the old man up.The Confucian scholars and peasants also stood up, bowed their heads and stood respectfully aside.

Li Yuan asked kindly, "May I ask how long the elder will live?"

The white-haired old man said: "In front of the sage, I dare not claim longevity. The grassroots are already seventy-three this year, and they are very old."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "The elder has a long life, worthy of the name, can he still eat?"

The white-haired old man said: "Return to the sage, although the grassroots are old, they can still eat two cakes per meal. They have sharp eyes and ears, and they are still healthy."

"Good! The elder is very lucky."

Li Yuan chatted with the old man with a smile.After asking the old man, he asked the Confucian scholar again: "This Confucian student, does he have any fame?"

The Confucian scholar replied respectfully: "Reporting to the sage, the student already has the reputation of a scholar, and is studying hard, hoping to obtain the reputation of a Jinshi in the future."

"Good, very good!"

Li Yuan praised and joked: "If you want to take the Jinshi examination, you must remember all the nobles who are here today, so that you can know what to do when you submit your papers in the future. Especially this one, Li Qing, come, let this A Confucian scholar recognizes that this is Li Gang and Li Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. In the future, Confucian scholars will ask Li Qing to look at it when they vote for public papers."

The Confucian scholar is also an interesting person, and he actually saluted Li Gang after hearing the words.

"saint!"

Li Gang smiled wryly as the pilgrim bowed his hands, causing the officials to laugh.

Li Yuan raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing, he turned to the farmer and asked, "Is the harvest finished this year? How is the harvest?"

The farmer replied respectfully: "Reporting to the saint, the weather is good this year, and the harvest is good. Under the saint's rule, the tax is light and the tax is light. After paying the tax, there is still food left over to heal the hungry."

"it is good!"

Li Yuan nodded gratifiedly, and continued: "Today, Xue Lang, a stranger, offered high-yield grain seeds. Such auspicious blessings from the heavens are my great fortune. I also heard that the common people still have surplus food to cure hunger. My heart is at ease."

The King of Qin said: "Sage, since the weather is good and the weather is good, there is a surplus of grain. If the new grain Xue Jianyi offered is popularized, if the weather is good, wouldn't there be grain in reserve?"

Li Yuan nodded. Seeing that Li Yuan and the other ministers were friendly and friendly, the elders said boldly, "To the sage, the common people outside the gate recommended Caomin as representatives for this purpose. Hearing the sage's edict, he said: There is a high-yielding new grain, and everyone is concerned about this matter. One is happy, and there is a high-yielding new grain, and maybe you will be able to live a full life in the future. Caomin and others, on behalf of all the folks outside the city, implore the saints to show mercy and promote new grains as soon as possible!"

"Saint please sympathize!"

The three of them knelt down together, obviously it was a good deal.

Li Yuandao: "I already know your concern. However, I can't answer this matter. I need someone to answer it. Where is Xue Lang Xue Qing?"

Xue Lang, who had been silently following the onlookers, came out more and more people, and replied: "My minister is here."

Li Yuan said: "Come on, give these three representatives a correct word."

Now, not only the three representatives, but all those who have land in their families, regardless of civil servants or generals, all looked at Xue Lang with concern, waiting for his accurate news.

Xue Lang said: "You three, try planting one mu of new grains this year, and harvest more than [-] stones per mu of sweet potatoes, and choose the best ones to plant. Those who can make seeds should have more than [-] stones at first. Planting one mu requires grain seeds. About [-] catties, a rough estimate, it might not be possible to promote it nationwide this year, but only in Chang'an City, every household can't do it, but it can be done by limiting the planting to a few acres in each village, until next year, It shouldn't be a problem to spread it within the scope of Chang'an City."

The three of them were both surprised and happy when they heard this, the elder took a few breaths, Xue Lang was afraid that he would be out of breath, just about to call the imperial doctor, the old man recovered himself, excitedly said: "Thank you for the official reply , You only need to wait until next year to plant new crops, which is really good news, thank you officials, thank you saints."

Xue Lang said politely: "The elder is polite."

After Xue Lang finished answering, the saint ordered people to give things to the three of them.The elders were given clothing, food and cloth, the Confucian scholars were given pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the farmers were given food and agricultural tools, and then they were ordered to send the three of them out.

Not a while after the three of them were sent out, the crowd gathered outside erupted into cheers and cheers, and they all saluted and bowed in the direction of the palace inside the city gate: "Thank you for your grace, and pray for the safety of the saint!"

Li Yuan, who had just boarded the imperial chariot inside the city gate and was about to return to the palace, felt agitated, and said to Xue Lang, "Xue Qing, I am glad that I accepted your good words today."

Xue Lang said: "This is the result of the sage's wisdom and wisdom, and his open-minded acceptance of advice. I dare not take credit for it."

Li Yuan laughed: "So, do I and the Qing family have credit for it?"

Xue Lang said seriously: "Reporting to the saint, that's exactly the case."

Li Yuan raised his head and laughed loudly, sat back in the car, and drove back to the palace.
