"A fast horse often suffers from thinness, and a hunter often suffers from poverty. Yellow crops raise a weak horse, and a rich man starts his life." In the Song Dynasty, Shao Shude hummed softly, his eyes full of reminiscences.
Song Le, who was half lying on the bed, followed the rhythm, tapping his right hand and looking worried.
After singing, the two looked at each other and laughed.
What a year of high spirits!
"Youzhou Ma Ke Yin Song Ci" is popular throughout the North, and it is a common drum and horn horizontal blowing song among Tiande's army.
When singing this song, Shao Shude was still carrying a knife and killing people.
When singing this song, Song Le didn't have much money in his pocket, and sometimes he even helped the poor, which made his mother-in-law complain endlessly.
At that time, hardship, poverty, and tiredness were the main themes of life. If you were not careful, you would die, but it made the two of you remember it for a long time.
"Some people don't know how to sing this song anymore," Shao Shude said.
"They are singing the elegant music of the New Dynasty." Song Le said: "Your Majesty often says that each generation has its own mission. The mission of you and me is to make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. If they live and work in peace and contentment, they no longer need to sing such bitter songs.
It’s a song of sigh. Nowadays, most of the suppressors in Fengzhou are government soldiers, and the days are good."
Shao Shude also smiled. Song Leguo was free and easy. How could there be such a strange man in the world?
"Mr., when you were serving as a minister in the Supervisory Army Mansion, did you think about world affairs?" Shao Shude asked.
"We only talk about it when we are drinking and complaining with friends." Song Le said with a smile: "On weekdays, life is tight, and we worry about food, rice, oil and salt, how can we expect to get much."
"What happened next?" Shao Shude asked.
"Later I found out that His Majesty is nothing like a martial artist. He has an upright character, is generous with rewards and punishments, and doesn't care about money, so he planned to have more contact with him," Song Le said.
Shao Shude chewed silently, and then asked: "Have I let my husband down?"
Even though he is the emperor, he is actually a little bit nervous.
I am ruthless, murderous, and even play tricks on other people's wives...
The person I am now has changed so much from the person I was thirty years ago that I am no longer the same person.
"No." Song Le chuckled.
He is not a pedantic person. His daily advice is based on the attitude of being able to save one person.
Due to energy constraints, how many women can you play with? Just don’t play with the people of the world, there are thousands of them. Once disaster occurs, the cry will be as high as the sky.
Shao Shude secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The room fell into silence.
After a long time, Shao Shude sighed: "It's been a long time since I went to Fengzhou."
Song Le also looked nostalgic.
He is from Hedong, but he has spent most of his life traveling to support his family in Hukou.
When he was in Fengzhou, his life was not rich, but it was the best years of his life.
When he was in Shengzhou, the saint's war progressed quite a lot. He encouraged farmers to teach farming and was full of sense of accomplishment. He also left many poems about this.
For example, "A Gift to the Farmer from the East City of Shengzhou", "The Farmer Meets in Mid-Spring", "A Journey to the Good Fields", "Songs on the River Embankment", "An Old Farmhouse in the Field", etc., are all farming poems. There is no gorgeous rhetoric, but full of enthusiasm.
, seeing the people's lives getting better little by little, seeing the treasury becoming increasingly full, the joy in my heart was beyond words, and for the first time I felt that maybe there was hope for this world.
With these two memories, the few days left can be savored silently. This life is enough.
"Your Majesty should go back and take a look." Song Le sighed: "If you don't move around the land of Longxing for a long time, your love will fade away."
"Yes." Shao Shude said: "There are some people I want to meet, some places I want to see, and some things I want to remember. I am also old, and my days are getting shorter and shorter. While I can still move around now, I should run more.
Run and have a look.”
Song Le closed his eyes, and the air around him seemed to be filled with regret.
"Sir, do you have anything else to teach me?" Shao Shude asked again.
"Your Majesty is a person with ideas." Song Le said: "I have only one sentence to give you. 'Don't be hasty, don't be slow, follow the steps, and don't worry.'"
Shao Shude nodded silently.
There are too many things that I want to do, but as I get older, I inevitably worry a little bit, but I don’t want Song Le to see it all.
Thinking of this, I feel more and more melancholy in my heart. Good teachers and friends are hard to find. If I lose this person, who can replace me?
No, there may never be a replacement.
There will never be another person who can gain his unreserved trust.
Love is something that doesn't come around very often and is very precious. It often only exists in its infancy, and there is no shop like this in a village.
Lao Li and Song Le, if they are gone, they are really gone, and there will be no replacements.
After returning to the palace, the women were very knowledgeable and did things lightly.
Shao Shude lay there bored for a few days, turning a blind eye to the bodhisattva slave's big ass.
When Yulu Jiangu came to rub his shoulders, Shao Shudecai said a few words to her to comfort her.
The emperor's 20th son, who was born in November of the ninth year of Jianji, died at the end of last year. Yu Lu's aunt was in a bad mood and couldn't cheer up.
Bodhisattva gave birth to a daughter in October last year, and Yue Liduo gave birth to a son in the twelfth lunar month. Aunt Yu Lujian took care of her, and she slowly recovered.
Shao Shude didn't feel much because he had too many children. Although it wasn't like Zhang Dashuai's "one child called me daddy yesterday and I don't know who his mother was", but every time he checked his studies, a large group of children
When they shouted "Grandma" in unison, he really had to think about it to know who their respective mothers were.
He rested and recuperated like this for half a month. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Shao Shude went to the southern suburbs of Luoyang to worship heaven. After the ceremony, he appointed Chen Cheng, the minister of Zhongshu, to stay in Tokyo. He led hundreds of civil and military officials, noble officials, palace guards, and horse-stepping soldiers of the imperial army.
Depart Luoyang and go to Chang'an, Xijing.
The soldiers accompanying the army included 3,000 palace guards led by Weiwei Temple Shaoqing Zhao Ye, more than 5,900 Yinanzhi, 25,000 infantry soldiers from the Yi Cong Army, 9,000 Fei Xiong Army, and 10,000 Fengguo Army led by Xia Luqi.
people, a total of more than 50,000 troops.
I returned to Luoyang on the 10th day of July in the 10th year of Jianji, and left on the 18th day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year. I stayed there for almost a year and a half, and spent two New Years.
Next comes the Xijing years.
****
Go west from Luoyang, pass through Xin'an and Mianchi counties, and arrive at Huguo village, about 220 miles away.
Looking at the familiar names one by one, Shao Shude almost returned to the prosperous days of those years.
It’s so damn hard!
Zhu Quanzhong was the most difficult opponent he had ever encountered. In this series of place names, almost every place had fierce and bloody battles. After repeated grinding and constant fighting, he finally advanced to Luoyang, relying on the two sides of Heyang and Nanyang.
breakthrough.
Luoyang's overwhelming potential should not be underestimated.
"Back then, the village war was fought here..." The luxurious four-wheeled carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Shao Shude stood at the entrance of Huguo Village on the mountain, overlooking the hills below the mountain, and said: "The progress is based on the village, and there is never a big detour.
breakthrough."
"The King of Village Warfare" Li Tangbin looked calm and said: "I am afraid that tens of thousands of Tibetan people and Tutu villagers died before and after, and the injured are not counted."
He knew that he was taking the blame for the saint.
Most of the Tibetan people came from Longyou, some from Hexi, and even Hengshan Dangxiang. With so many strong men taken away, the Tubo tribes were unlucky, and many tribes were disabled.
Naturally, there followed a series of rebellions, and even state-level officials were killed in the imperial court. Fortunately, they were all suppressed in the end.
The Tibetan population in the Qing and Tang Dynasties dropped sharply and was replaced by immigrants from Guanxi and Weibo.
That part of Qinghai is probably the most valuable, and it is now a place rich in splendor. Li Tangbin once heard someone say that Hebei Mandarin is now popular in Shan and Kuo states, with a little bit of Tubo dialect mixed in. All of this is probably
Is it caused by the saint's deliberate efforts?
Shao Shude walked on the boundary of Huguo Village and looked carefully at the land under his feet.
Ge Congzhou established a stronghold on the mountain and threatened the army's food routes, so that he did not dare to march eastward with all his strength. He was very experienced in using troops. But who would have known that now he is the military envoy of Longxiang Army and the Duke of Ji Kingdom of Daxia. This is
Reality.
"Every inch of land was exchanged for blood." Shao Shude looked at the smoke-inhabited village and said with emotion: "The surviving Tibetan people all received land. The families of the deceased Tibetan people also received land. From then on,
The tribal slaves became the common people of Daxia, and I did not let them down."
A peaceful, prosperous, and stable life must be purchased with blood.
Many times blood is not worth much, so having a place where you can sell your life in exchange for money will make good men flock to it and fight to the death. This is also a reality.
At the west end of the village, a large-scale post station was also built.
There is even a fixed grass market near the inn. People and merchants from the surrounding area gather here regularly to exchange goods.
Unknowingly, the settled Huguo Village has become a small commercial market town due to its relatively important geographical location.
Military towns were dismantled and markets were established. Things have changed in the past twenty years, and the world has changed.
"No one in the village wears pigtails anymore." Li Tangbin's sharp eyes saw the people in the village looking around.
Shao Shude also saw it.
These should be the second generation of Tibetan people. The ability of assimilation in the Central Plains is very powerful. As long as the original organizational structure of the Tibetan people is broken up, the people are organized into households, and they are controlled and educated by the court, it will not take long for them to gradually change.
Became a common people in China.
If we are different, we can only restrict it and never truly rule. The hidden dangers are very great, especially in the heart of Luoyang.
"Your Majesty has done a great job." Li Tangbin suddenly felt a little emotional.
"You know how to flatter me?" Shao Shude laughed and cursed.
Li Tangbin smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "Of all the princes in the world, your majesty has done the best, so he is able to hide in the world. I think back on when I followed Huang Chao and Zhang Quanyi to fool around, I am simply blind."
The power of flattering an honest person is amazing!
Shao Shude smiled reservedly and said, "Let's go down the mountain."
Since he came to the throne, he has patrolled the east and north, but not the west.
This was his first serious inspection of the land west of Luoyang. Huguo Village, a military important place that frequently appeared in military newspapers and occupied many "pages", has now become a place where people are happy and business travel is prosperous.
place.
All this took less than twenty years.
He was very satisfied.
On the 26th, the car continued westward and left the boundary of Henan Prefecture.
