This winter, Luoyang has never rained or snowed again since it changed from a palace. On that dry and cold morning, Tang Song followed Di Renjie and others to the ten-mile pavilion outside the main gate of Luoyang City.

In addition to Di Renjie and Li Zhaode, there were three or two old ministers who could be called the backbone of the Li Party in the court. Although the number of people in this group was not large, they were all very small. Fortunately, they were not wearing official clothes, otherwise any one would be enough to alarm the Jingzhao Yamen to send a toll guard to guard, and then rang a gong from afar to remind the people to avoid it.

Unless you know the inside story, I am afraid no one will believe that these important officials who are now busy smoking are coming to greet a girl when they leave the city.

The girl whose boudoir name Yunlu and who was called "Crystal" by Tang Song returned to Luoyang today.

In theory, even a princess is not enough to let Di Renjie and Li Zhaode go out to welcome each other. This should have been the responsibility of Zongren Temple, but they insisted on this, Zongren Temple could only withdraw the ceremonial guards and musicians prepared for the princess, etc., and Ren Digong and others acted at will.

When he arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion, he couldn't see a team of cars and horses in front of him after looking out. After Di Renjie ordered the chief to come forward and look, he walked to the wheat field beside the official road during the waiting period and squatted down.

Some days have passed since the weather has dried up, and many cracked cracks have begun to appear in the dry wheat field. Di Renjie reached into the wheat field and touched it. Many soils have begun to become clumps, and his fingers have not seen any moisture after they have penetrated the soil deeply.

After slapping, he finally picked up a grain of wheat from the ground. There was no trace of germination. At this point, Di Renjie's eyebrows began to frown deeply.

Seeing this, Li Zhaode, who was following him, comforted: "Brother Wenying, don't worry, although the fields are drought at this time, but as long as there are a few good rains after the beginning of spring next year, nothing will be delayed, and it will still be a good harvest year."

"What if the rain will not work next spring?"

Li Zhaode was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he lowered his voice and asked in a whisper: "Can it be the Imperial Heaven Supervision..."

Di Renjie shook his head, "I'm just worried. The destiny is not a question. Let's do more people. When I go back later, I will write about the prefectures and counties in the world, so that they can use the winter leisure time to dredge and irrigate the ditches and lay deep into the farm wells. You have also drawn some people from Dali Temple and the Imperial City to patrol and implement this matter. The northern roads have spent more time, especially the Guanzhong Plain near Chang'an, Xijing, and there is no sloppy."

As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, an old minister next to him said, "Wenying arranged that the saint had just ascended the throne for a long time. This is the first time since the world returned to the Li Tang Dynasty. It is impossible to have a severe drought! It is better to be more trivial now than to do things that are ready for the rain."

Everyone is an old official, and they understand many truths without saying it. Li Zhaode nodded solemnly after hearing this.

When Tang Song heard this, he felt a little moved. He stepped forward and talked about the vernal plow and the promotion of intensive cultivation.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the General Science and Technology, Tang Song established the Agricultural Sciences in it. Although this agricultural sciences were based on the masterpiece of the agricultural sciences of the Six Dynasties, "Qimin Yaoshu" as a textbook, Tang Song was not a person who was in abstinent.

So far, the agricultural sciences in the general sciences have mainly done two things. One is to improve the plow tool, and a more lively and efficient curved plow was invented based on the straight plow that had been used for more than a thousand years. The other is to order people to systematically summarize the agricultural intensive cultivation methods in the Jiangnan provinces and intend to promote this more advanced farming method in the Northland.

The curved plow appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It was actually one of the epoch-making innovations in the history of Chinese agricultural development; and the law of intensive cultivation that first sprouted in the late Six Dynasties marked a major change in agricultural production mode. In the Tang Dynasty, which was still a typical agricultural society, if these two new tools and new production modes representing the development direction of the most advanced productive forces can be fully promoted, it will lay the most solid foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future, thereby pushing the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to a height that history has not been reached.

The Quyuan Plough has been successfully trial-produced and tested. Before Tongke moved, it even distributed more than a thousand free items in the suburbs of Luoyang. After such a long time of deliberate actions, the method of intensive cultivation has been systematically summarized and can be officially promoted. This is exactly the confidence that Tang Song was able to come forward to talk to Di Renjie about this matter.

When the introduction of these two sciences was completed, Tang Song was already full of excitement. Compared with those poems, this was a productivity change that could bring huge benefits to the times and the people.

But what unexpectedly happened was that although Di Renjie was attentive to listen, he did not have the surprise he imagined, and there was a hint of regret between his eyebrows and eyes.

No matter how good the new tools and new production methods are, if the court does not come forward to vigorously promote them, their effectiveness will be very limited. Seeing Di Renjie's expression, Tang Song was anxious and hurriedly added: "In addition to saving manpower and animal power, the curved plow can be turned deeper, which is naturally conducive to the land's water and moisture conservation; as for the method of intensive cultivation, it was originally intended to make more effective use of the land, agricultural fertilizers and water conservancy irrigation, and it is also a good way to fight drought. Please think twice."

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie frowned deeply. It has been nearly a hundred years since Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty ruled Chang'an. In the past century, the area has not expanded much, but the population has doubled. With the increase in the population, the fields that the court can give to the bottom have long been reached. The equal-field system implemented in the early years of the State Administration of China has actually been in name only, and the system of military forces that existed under the same field system has also reached the brink of collapse.

The number of land acres has not changed much, but the population is increasing day by day. The result is that landless farmers in the world, that is, the so-called number of refugees, continue to increase. There are only two ways to resolve this contradiction. One is to expand the territory; the other is to improve the current land utilization efficiency and use the same land to produce more grain to feed more people.

In the original history, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang frequently launched foreign wars in the middle and late periods of his reign. Although subjectively, he was very fond of merit, he was also an unscrupulous move to deal with population expansion. However, facts proved that the strategy of relying solely on expanding territory to solve population problems was not successful. The army's strength expanded too quickly in this process. In the end, it turned into an uncontrollable monster, which retaliated against the Tang Dynasty itself.

Even though the Anshi Rebellion took eight years to quell the Anshi Rebellion, the disaster of the military separatist vassal states continued until the end of the Tang Dynasty and became one of the three main causes of the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a testament to the existence of previous cars. Taking the initiative to change productivity within the Tang Dynasty is a more effective way to resolve population conflicts. Less bleeding, the cost of society needs to pay is lower, and the increase in social wealth is tangible.

How could Di Renjie not know these simple truths? But he could not make a decision to promote this matter at the moment.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole world belonged to Li Tang. From a political perspective, any kind of change is now implemented, even a change that seems to be less risky, may cause political turmoil...

After a long time, in Tang Song's eager eyes, Di Renjie slowly said: "Agriculture and Swallows are the foundation of the world. Tang Song, you can do your best to work on farming. However, the time has not come, so it is not advisable to be too hasty."

Seeing that Tang Song was going to say something, Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Hautism is not achieved."

Seeing this, Tang Song breathed a long sigh and turned around and left the crowd.

It is true that Di Renjie is a famous official, nor is it true that he is a good official, but he is too obsessed with him. Now the only one who cares about Li Tang is in his mind. He is so blinded that he can no longer see Mount Tai.

However, if we look at it according to the standards of the dynasty era, the more loyal he is, the more he will be, and the more he will be, the more famous his ministers are. Sometimes this world is like an absurd stage play, and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

On the winter day of the slaughter, Tang Song stood alone on the side of the Ten Mile Long Pavilion and looked up at the field where there were no seedlings. He felt more and more missed Lu Yuanfanglai, who was bedridden.

"The people are the most important. The country is the second most important, and the king is the least important." At this moment, Tang Song had a deep understanding of the weight of this sentence. He also understood how difficult it was for Lu Yuanfang as an official in the feudal era to say and follow such words.

Among the tens of thousands of officials in Fang today, although Lu Yuanfang's reputation and status are not as good as Di Renjie, in Tang Song's heart, the old man known as "gentleman" made him feel closer from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Lu Yuanfang had never given Tang Song any selfish benefits. On the contrary, because of the tasks assigned by him, Tang Song was tired and caused a lot of extra trouble.

This closeness has nothing to do with self-interest, it is the inspiration that a dying old man is naturally inspired by a broad mind.

If the peach and plum blossoms do not speak, they will form their own paths. This should be the same!

When Tang Song was thinking of Lu Yuanfang, Di Renjie sent Changsui to visit him back, and there was another person who came with him.

Tang Song knew this man, one of the six retired imperial guards who sent Crystal out of Beijing that day.

The old man's face was as iron as iron, his lips, and especially his hands had obvious chapped skin. It was obviously very bitter along the way, but his mental state was quite excited and excited.

After the two horses arrived, the old soldier turned over and dismounted to salute everyone. Then he said loudly that the lady did not dare to be the ones who were all the important officials, and had entered the capital from another side door. After he settled down, he would go to the important officials' houses to apologize and thank them.

After getting used to the domineering of the former Wu Zhou royal family and the great carriage of Princess Taiping, Crystal's low-key not only did not make Di Renjie and others angry, but the few people looked at each other and laughed loudly. The relief and praise in the meantime were really obvious.

The end of this trip to welcome the tiger and the tiger was about to start and end, and everyone immediately returned to the city. Di Renjie and others went directly to the imperial city. Tang Songben also intended this, but when he was halfway, he turned his head back to his home.

As soon as he entered the door, he ran over the screen wall and ran into Tang Daren. Tang Song wailed in his heart, but it was too late to run away.

After finally grabbing his son, how could Tang Daren let him run away easily? He pulled the tail of Tang Song's waist tightly and dragged him into the main room, and then smashed a thick stack of mud and red posts in front of Tang Song.

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendant is a great deal. If you have a sin, how long will your marriage be delayed? None of the daughters of the boudoirs in many officials can catch your eye?" Tang Daren grabbed Tang Song's tail with one hand, and said angrily, his tone was getting higher and higher, and there were signs of madness.

But this time, he really can't blame him. Since Tang Song was appointed as the marquis, the threshold of his house has been almost kicked out. At first, there were still many congratulations, but from the second day, more and more people have spoken out about the matchmaking under the guise of congratulations.

As a result, the more and more mud gold red stickers were gathered. Behind each red sticker was a daughter who was about to marry. She was better reserved, but she was impatient and sent her daughter's portrait together without waiting for the answer. She even opened the list of the dowry items together.

Thinking of some women who were from the third-rank county lady, many people thought they were not qualified enough, or with the same thoughts as Fatty Zheng in the Brocade and Silk Village, they simply said that they did not dare to seek the position of legitimate wife and were willing to be the concubine of the county marquis.

How many people can a wife have six concubines and seven quotas attract? When Tang Daren was in Xiangzhou, he was worried about whether his son could marry a wife, but now many good daughters from many families take the initiative to get married.

Such earth-shaking changes made Tang Daren almost crazy, which made his son happy after he was appointed as a marquis. This year, the idea of ​​worshiping ancestors became stronger, but this made Tang Song unlucky and was forced to kiss him every day, which was extremely painful.

When Tang Song was anxious, he started running. So the father and son staged a cat and mouse drama again.

"Tell me! When will you do this marriage?" Tang Daren was very arrogant. Seeing that Tang Song was stubborn, he immediately opened his teeth and claws and was about to come up. He cursed with hatred and said, "You don't think about yourself, and you should also think about your sister. Do you really want my third room in the Tang family to be cut off from the incense?"

When the old man got angry, he really killed people, and the Buddha blocked them. In addition, he brought Tang Yuan out to talk about it, which really made Tang Song unable to refuse.

While standing up to avoid Tang Daren, who was swaying from the teeth, Tang Song gritted his teeth and said, "The candidate has been decided. I will bring it back in a few days. If you can get married before the New Year, you will get married."

As soon as this statement was spoken, Tang Daren immediately calmed down, "Is this statement serious?"

These days I have been really annoyed by marriage. After saying this, Tang Song himself felt much more relieved, "Can I still lie to you like this?"

Seeing Tang Daren smiling like a flowery face, he narrowed his eyes and was about to come up, Tang Song immediately waved his hands repeatedly, "This matter is settled." After saying that, he kept slipping out so that the old man would stop being blocked by the old man and asking about the situation of the girl's family.

After leaving the main room, Tang Songzhi went to the place where Shui Jing had lived. Before entering the house, he saw a familiar girl walking out with a copper basin.

This is one of the four close girls of Crystal. When Tang Song saw her, he knew that the inexplicable feeling was good when he returned to the city just now.

After slowing down and coughing twice, Tang Song lifted the curtain and walked in.

The room was a little messy, and on the desk facing the door were thick stacks of bamboo paper with words. It seemed to have grown a little taller, and the crystal, which seemed to be more graceful, was standing by one wall, holding the ancient musical piano in both hands and looking at it carefully.

The back that was extremely familiar in the past became a little strange, as if crystal had grown up overnight. The girl who used to always hold his clothes and still seemed to be nowhere to be seen in the eyes of thousands of people.

Although Tang Song wanted to walk up as before and pinch her nose and rub her hair, he seemed to be tripped by something under his feet.

At this moment, Crystal turned around and met her eyes, Tang Song sighed again in his heart.

Since that assassination in White Horse Temple, Crystal took the initiative to get out of autism and integrate into the worldly world. She first became a secretary for Tang Song, who could not write at the time, and did the boring work with relish. Then she began to actively learn history, and she studied extremely seriously and persistently. The spirit seemed to be that the child who had been confused for a long time finally found the interest in life.

Since then, as the crystal has become deeper and deeper, the calm and gentle wind in her eyes has slowly disappeared. After this trip to Beijing, the spotless dusty one in her eyes that had amazed Tang Song when she returned to her eyes had completely disappeared.

Since he got out of autism, Crystal has grown too fast and changed too fast. Tang Song, who was in a complicated mood, couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad. He just knew that although the girl in front of him had the same appearance that harmed the country and the people, he was no longer the girl in the cloud skirt she remembered.

It has changed!

Some people and some things have changed in the end!

After all, Tang Song didn't even come to Shuijing, so he sat down next to the books table, picked up the bamboo paper on the books table and asked in a very casual tone: "Is it still hard to go all the way? Should I still call you Shuijing, or should I be respectful to His Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Why are you so angry?" Even though the crystal has changed a lot, its ability to point directly to the hearts of people when she first met Luoyang and Tang Song seemed to have not changed at all. For example, at this moment, she not only knew that Tang Song was angry, but also could accurately grasp the depth of her anger.

And these Tang Song were clearly concealing them intentionally.

For some reason, the more she did this, the more fierce the evil fire in Tang Song's heart came. He sneered, "How dare the minister be angry with His Highness in front of him?"

Shui Jing slowly walked to the side of the book, sat down opposite Tang Song, and then began to talk about her life experience.

This is another extremely old-fashioned and clumsy story. Crystal's mother is a palace maid in the deep palace like the dance teacher Liu Mei back then. She was unfortunately lucky to be visited more than a year before Emperor Gaozong of the previous dying.

What’s even more unfortunate is that the palace maid was pregnant in just one visit.

After confirming that she was pregnant, the palace maid was in horror. Because the inner palace was already the world of Queen Wu Zetian at that time, Wu Zetian could tolerate Li Zhi's occasional flirting with her, at least those women would not die. But once that woman was pregnant, it would be a different matter.

The pregnant palace maid lived in panic in panic. During this period, she tried her best to abort the child in her belly countless times. Unfortunately, the child was really desperate and survived.

As her belly grew bigger and bigger, it was time to be unable to hide it anymore. The palace maid, who was helpless and at the verge of collapse, found the Zongren Temple, which was in charge of the royal family affairs with the will of death.

At that time, Emperor Gaozong was about to die but not yet died, and Wu Zetian was far from the time to ascend the throne. Zongren Temple was still under the control of the Li Tang clan. Given that Wu Zetian's suppression of the Li Tang clan at this time had already revealed clues. Faced with this destined to be Li Zhi's last descendant, the head of Zongren Temple might have thought of protecting him out of the grief of the rabbit and the fox.

After completing the confirmation of his identity and bloodline and proving the Jade Certificate of the Emperor's Bloodline for the bones and blood in his abdomen, this palace maid who was determined to ask for a happy relief was stolen and sent out of the palace. She was eventually sent out of the capital and entrusted to Zhang Jianzhi, who was a fanatical royalist party.

Later, because she was too harsh when she was pregnant, the palace maid died of heavy bleeding during the childbirth. Although Crystal survived by chance, because her identity was too important, especially because there were too many people involved. So she was sent to the Taoist temple in Lumen Mountain before she was born, and was isolated from the world for more than ten years.

In the past decade, the world has been rotated, and Wu Zetian has changed from an empress to an emperor. The royal family of Li Tang was frequently killed, and many of those who escaped by luck were like Li Sixun who abandoned their official positions and wandered around the world. On the contrary, Shui Jing avoided the great disaster because she lived in the mountains for a long time.

More than ten years later, everything was settled, and when Wu Zetian put away the butcher knife that killed the Li Tang royal family, Crystal had just gone down the mountain, so there was no need to say much about what happened next. Now that the world has returned to Li Tang, Crystal, as the youngest daughter of Emperor Gaozong, naturally returned to the royal family and was named Princess.
