Two years is neither long nor short, it is fleeting.
Li Shimin also realized his vision. Within two years, potatoes had blossomed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Although they were once considered a cheap food due to their high yield, this did not prevent the people at the bottom from loving them.
The yield per mu is fifty dan, and we don’t even have to pick the land. How can such good grain be so cheap? It’s simply a treasure. The only drawback is the waste land. We can only grow it one season a year, and we have to grow some beans for fattening. But this
It's not a problem. The Tang Dynasty lacked everything except land. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, people were almost extinct. There was a lot of wasteland waiting to be reclaimed. As long as you have the strength, you can plant seeds and reap a harvest every year.
Two consecutive years of bumper harvests have filled the treasuries of various places, the population has increased explosively, and the imperial government's finances are not as stretched as before.
In the past two years, the first two batches of graduates of the academy have also faced choices at the crossroads of their lives. Some stayed in the academy as teaching assistants, some returned home to inherit the family business, and some were sent to local places to become officials.
Li Shimin fulfilled his promise and carried out a vigorous reform of the official system in the seventh year of Zhenguan.
Of course, Li Shimin did not reform too thoroughly at the beginning, but only opened up the promotion path for officials. That is to say, starting from the seventh year of Zhenguan, officials can be promoted to low-level officials after passing the accumulation of political performance and assessment.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Tang Dynasty was shocked.
Those old officials who had worked hard at the grassroots level for decades kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an City, crying and shouting: Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live your Majesty.
However, this news is a blow to those wealthy families. They know very well that once the upward path among officials is opened, the grassroots officials will no longer obey their orders, and their foundation will be broken.
For a time, the court was shaken, and countless officials jointly petitioned Li Shimin to withdraw his orders.
At the beginning, Li Shimin's attitude was not clear. It was not that he was not determined enough to reform, but that he wanted to see how many officials in the court were interested in those wealthy families. He had all the memorials archived.
It will be convenient for settling accounts in the future.
However, what makes Li Shimin a little depressed is that more than 70% of the officials are interested in aristocratic families, including the chief official of the Six Ministries, who is a very popular minister.
A weaker emperor might have compromised in the face of these officials' aggressive petitions, but Li Shimin had no intention of compromising. Although he did not reprimand these ministers on the surface, he secretly frequently mobilized troops from various places to warn him if the situation went wrong.
, he will have those aristocratic families wiped out as soon as possible.
This also became the tone of the entire seven years of Zhenguan. The common people praised Li Shimin, but the court criticized Li Shimin verbally and verbally, for killing his brother to force his father, forcibly marrying his sister-in-law, and constantly spreading negative information about Li Shimin.
In the past two years, Qin Hao has been relatively relaxed. He ignored the disputes in the court and concentrated on teaching and practicing in the academy. Li Lizhi also moved from the Hou Mansion to the academy and lived with Qin Hao.
Audition in the classroom.
At first, Li Lizhi was a little uncomfortable with it. After all, all the people in the academy were men, and she was the only woman. From time to time, people would peek at her. As time went by, Li Lizhi no longer had any psychological burden at all, and she gradually became one with her classmates.
The students in the academy did not regard Li Lizhi as a classmate. When they saw her, they all saluted and called her their master's wife, even though this master's wife might be younger than them.
Li Lizhi likes this kind of life very much, and attending classes every day is very interesting. Sometimes she even feels that the holidays in the academy are too much, especially the two-month summer vacation, which leaves her with nothing to do. What Li Lizhi likes most is going to school.
Qin Hao’s class.
Not only because the teacher in class is her husband, but mainly because Qin Hao always does some fun little experiments in class. These small experiments gave her the feeling that Qin Hao had used some magical method at first.
After the principle was explained clearly, I realized that it was so simple.
When she was bored during the holidays, Li Lizhi would go back to the palace to chat with her sisters, which made Lan Ling and Gao Yang envious.
"Sister Li Zhi is so happy. It would be great if I could marry such a good husband."
"Don't be ashamed, how old are you that you want to get married?"
The little sisters were having fun for a while. Li Lizhi, who had already put up her hair as a woman, looked at everything with a smile. She felt very happy. As a royal princess, she had never imagined that she could have the life she has now. She had even done it before.
The plan of getting married or marrying some noble dandy.
"By the way, have you heard? Li Anlan is getting married."
"Who is Li Anlan?"
"It's the one who her father asked her to marry her brother-in-law before. Humph, she disobeyed her father and left such a good man like her brother-in-law unmarried. Now she can only marry and keep company with those natives."
"Oh, it was her you were talking about? She deserves it."
When Li Lizhi heard the name Li Anlan, her face froze. She had always been very friendly to other brothers and sisters, but she could never get close to Li Anlan. After all, she was still a little afraid of Li Anlan. After all, if Li Anlan hadn't refused in the first place,
, her current life is hers.
Before leaving the palace, Li Lizhi went to Queen Changsun to inquire about Li Anlan's specific situation.
With Queen Changsun's intelligence, how could she not see her daughter's worries and comfort her with a smile.
"Silly girl, look at how two princesses in all dynasties have married together? Don't worry, besides, Li Anlan doesn't want to argue with you. She proposed the marriage herself."
"how come?"
"This girl Li Anlan is completely different from you. She is very ambitious. The mountains in Lingnan are high and the roads are far away. The earth king controls 800 miles of land. In the future, she will be the queen of those 800 miles of land."
........
Li Anlan got married, and Yun Ye was also preparing for the marriage. The woman was Mr. Yushan's granddaughter Xinyue. The Yun family and the academy were all happy to hear about this marriage. Grandma Yun was smiling all day long, waiting to introduce her new daughter-in-law to her.
If you marry into the family, you can spread the branches and leaves of the Yun family.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the night before the wedding, Yun Ye found Qin Hao and brought a large jar of distilled high-strength liquor.
"Senior brother, she is obviously good at everything, and I like her very much, but why can't she feel happy?"
These were the last words Yun Ye said before he got drunk. The next day, the wedding went on as usual. Yun Ye was forced to drink two bowls of hangover soup and finally managed to complete the wedding.
Xi Tong stood vigilantly outside the door. His burly figure was like a door god. His eyes like copper bells were always sizing up the people approaching. Once he approached the warning line, his hand unconsciously touched the handle on his waist.
A hundred-refined steel knife designed and made by the academy.
Inside the room, Qin Hao's face was red and sweat had broken out on his forehead. At this moment, a huge amount of energy was flowing around in his body. The meridians wherever it passed became wider and tougher, but the process was very painful.
Qin Hao took the elixir for two consecutive years and finally took this step.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent energy in his body finally softened and slowly returned to his lower Dantian. Qin Hao also took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
When the door opened, Xitong saw Qin Hao's energetic appearance and immediately bowed down.
"Disciple congratulates Master on the success of foundation building!"
Qin Hao held Xitong's arm and was about to help him up. Suddenly, his heart moved. The true energy in his Dantian suddenly moved towards the meridians of his arm. The moment he touched Xitong's body, Qin Hao felt a strange and mysterious feeling.
My heart was shocked.
At this moment, the situation inside Xitong's body appeared before Qin Hao's eyes without reservation, just like an X-ray. The beating of meridians, the flow of blood, and the peristalsis of organs were all so real.
This feeling has never been experienced before, and Qin Hao can feel that although his true energy has weakened after entering Xitong's body, he can still control it freely. In other words, he can use his true energy to attack others.
body is destroyed.
"Is this reaching the point in martial arts novels where internal force is used to shatter the opponent's organs and intangibly injure the enemy?"
"Even if placed in Jin Yong's martial arts world, he is still considered a second-rate master, right?"
Xitong kept half-bowing, and when Qin Hao let go, he seemed to have regained control of his body, and looked at Qin Hao with a look of shock and admiration.
"Master, just now..."
"It's just a way of using Qi, and it's not considered an immortal method." Qin Hao said lightly.
"But it's not a method that ordinary people can master."
Qin Hao shook his head secretly. Xitong was a disciple with sufficient qualifications and understanding, and he was also very able to endure hardships. Putting him with Yuan Tiangang, he made up for the shortcomings of sexual skills in two years, and spent another half a year.
Reached the state of dual cultivation of life and life.
The only certainty is that he has a strong obsession with cultivating immortality. On the one hand, this obsession was instilled in him by Tian Xiangzi before, and on the other hand, he became even more obsessed after following Qin Hao to practice Qigong.
At the same time, he became more and more devoted to Qin Hao. The mysterious and mysterious feeling of comfort when cultivating both life and life was much better than Tian Xiangzi's deceitful tricks.
"I have been in retreat recently, has anything happened?"
Xitong said respectfully: "It's nothing, it's just that Madam came here a few times, but I was afraid that Madam would disturb Master's retreat, so I didn't stop her from going back."
"Well, you've worked hard these days. You should go and take a rest first. I'll go to Madam's place." Qin Hao patted Xitong's shoulder.
In the back garden, Li Lizhi was taking care of the greenhouse. This greenhouse was specially built by Qin Hao for Li Lizhi. In the winter of the previous year, Li Lizhi said that the winter was bare and lifeless, so Qin Hao got some awnings from Yun Ye.
They made cloth and built earthen kangs on both sides of the greenhouse. Even in winter, the temperature in the greenhouse was maintained at 20 degrees Celsius.
Li Lizhi has planted many flowers and plants in the greenhouse. She often comes to sit in the greenhouse when she has nothing to do in winter, and occasionally plants flowers and plants herself.
"Madam, this Xitong is getting more and more unruly. He even dares to stop you. When the Marquis comes out of confinement, you have to let the Marquis teach him a lesson." The personal maid complained.
Li Lizhi watered the flowers and said softly: "Okay, Xitong is also for the safety of her husband. He has been guarding the door sleeplessly these days... I am just a little worried...
..."
"What are you worried about, ma'am?"
Hearing Qin Hao's voice from behind, Li Lizhi dropped the shower in her hand to the ground, turned around and plunged into Qin Hao's arms.
"Okay, Ruyan and the others are still here, be careful they laugh at you." Qin Hao smiled and patted Li Lizhi on the back.
Li Lizhi got out of Qin Hao's arms, and buried her head in it again amidst the laughter of Ruyan and others.
That night, in the room, Qin Hao was about to take off his clothes and go to bed, when a soft touch came from behind him.
Over the years, that once petite body has grown a lot taller.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Qin Hao turned around and held Li Lizhi in his arms.
Li Lizhi rubbed Qin Hao's chest and said faintly: "Husband, Li Lizhi is so afraid that you will leave me one day..."
"Why do you think so?"
"Husband, please give me a child. Li Zhi has grown up and can give birth to a child."
"..."
After a silent night, Qin Hao rarely got up early, while Li Lizhi turned sideways, her whole body close to Qin Hao, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
"Get up when you wake up. You worked hard all night last night. Aren't you hungry?" Qin Hao tapped the tip of Li Lizhi's nose.
When Li Lizhi saw that she was exposed for pretending to be asleep, she was not as shy as usual, but said coquettishly: "No, let's sleep a little longer. The academy is on holiday anyway."
However, it was destined that this lazy sleep would not last, and soon a charming voice came from outside the door.
"Sister Li Zhi, why haven't you gotten up yet? Sizi has been up for a long time."
Hearing this voice, Li Lizhi sat up and shouted to Ruyan who was guarding the outer room: "Is Sizi here? You take her to have something to eat first, I will be there in a moment."
"promise."
Looking at Li Lizhi who was hurriedly getting dressed, Qin Hao smiled and hugged her waist from behind: "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
"I hate it." Li Lizhi blushed and gave Qin Hao a white look.
The two of them packed up and went to the front hall. Sizi was eating millet porridge with a nanny waiting on him. When he saw Qin Hao and Li Lizhi, he jumped down from his chair.
"Brother-in-law, sister."
"How come Sizi has time to visit her sister today?" Li Lizhi picked up little Sizi.
Xiao Sizi blinked his round eyes, and put a pair of chubby little hands around Li Lizhi's neck: "Because Sizi misses his sister. Sizi hasn't seen her for several days, and you don't come to the palace to accompany me.
play."
"Oh, it turns out that Sizi only misses his sister and not his brother-in-law. Then my brother-in-law will not bother you sisters." Qin Hao pinched little Sizi's chubby cheeks.
Little Sizi hurriedly reached out to Qin Hao and hugged his neck: "Sizi misses her brother-in-law too."
"Okay, my brother-in-law didn't love you in vain."
Li Lizhi looked at Qin Hao doting on her sister so much, with a look of joy on her face. If she likes little Sizi so much, she should also like their children in the future, right?
