Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Li Yuanying ran off when he came up with an idea, regardless of whether his Majesty Li Er agreed or not. After going to the Imperial College, he resumed his usual studious, and led his friends to stop the Master every day. Recently, however, he has done one more thing, that is, planning Tubo travel routes, pondering a statement for each location, and connecting them into a complete and inspiring story, so as to attract people to Tubo for sightseeing.

Li Yuanying is the best at composing stories, but to be true, he must be based on reality. Next, Li Yuanying sorted out the storyline while collecting information, and occasionally wrote to Wang Jiang Xia to ask for the specific details of these ambassadors.

After more than a month, Li Yuanying compiled the story of "Wencheng and Marriage", first comparing the encounters between the princesses of the Han dynasty and her relatives to highlight the difficulty of marrying, and then focused on describing Wencheng's intelligence and Tang's generosity.

This section is based on the customs and customs of Tubo brought back by the caravan. It is full of pictures and texts and is very real: the clothes of Tubo people are simple and simple, mostly made of simple fur, which is only practical and lacks ornamental. The clothes of the Tang Dynasty are gorgeous and exquisite; Tubo does not have the habit of cooking and broiling. Most of them eat coarse drinks and do not cook exquisite tableware; these are second, the most important thing is that Tubo has no one to study medicine, and most of them believe in illusory witchcraft. , Or go to the wizard in the tribe.

The craftsmen, healers, and embroiders who Wencheng brought are changing all of this.

Tubo also has many things worth playing, such as fierce yak, swarms of sheep and horses, endless grassland, and snow-capped mountains that last for years. It was mentioned that playing Li Yuanying was professional. He caught what he wanted to play and blew around. Finally, he said that he wouldn't be a Datang person if he didn't go to Tubo once, and he wouldn't be a good man if he didn't ride a Tubo horse!

Li Yuanying wrote and painted until the beginning of June, and finally got the "Wen Cheng He Qin" out. She asked Li Chunfeng to take the manuscript to Li Chunfeng, and let Li Chunfeng help to print it out as soon as possible. Travel to pave the way.

After busying with what she was thinking about, Li Yuanying saw a special article from Mei Niang before she had time to play happily.

The author of this article is a scholar from outside, named Zhang Jianzhi, a native of Xiangzhou, who is 17 years old this year. After Zhang Jianzhi arrived in Chang'an, he was fascinated by the library. He lined up outside the library almost every day, and the library newspaper was not finished in one issue.

Later, just reading it was not enough, Zhang Jianzhi decided to write by himself. The content he had already drafted was a complete article. After Zhang Jianzhi finished writing, he checked it again and felt that there was no major problem, so he submitted the article to the library newspaper.

Although Wu Mei was also admitted to the Imperial College, she still collected the articles from the museum regularly for perusal. After seeing Zhang Jianzhi's articles, she was shocked and quickly handed him over to Li Yuanying.

This article is about "Fu Shou" and "Fu Foot".

In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repeatedly recruited Goryeo and carried out many major projects that labored and hurt the people and wealth, which directly caused the people to pay heavy taxes and make life more and more difficult. In order to avoid taxation, many people inflict themselves on their siblings and show themselves as crippled, indicating that they do not meet the requirements for collection!

Li Yuanying had never heard of such things before. Because of the burden of taxation, the people would rather mutilate their own hands or feet, and call them "good hands" and "good feet". How terrible is this imperial taxation?

What's more frightening is that the ethos that arose in the late Sui Dynasty had not been eradicated after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. For example, there were still people in the hometown of Zhang Kam.

Zhang Jianzhi was born in a poor family, and he has never been an official in his family for many years. He is the only one who is clever and astute, and has been highly recommended, so he has the opportunity to come to Chang'an to study.

When the young man left home, he wanted to make a name for himself. This article was the little stone he threw out to test.

It now appears that this small stone was thrown very accurately. At least Li Yuanying felt that Zhang Kanzhi's article was well written after reading it, methodical and thought-provoking. Li Yuanying said: "I didn't expect such a thing in the world." He raised his hand and looked at it, and sighed with Wei Shu and the others, "Even if I break a small mouth in my hand, I feel so painful, how can they do it? Got it?"

Wei Shu said: "Who would want to hurt his hands and feet without a last resort? This is about harshness and fierce government."

Li Yuanying has also read the Book of Rites, and naturally knows the story of harsh government than tigers.

It was about Confucius passing through Mount Tai with his disciples, and met a woman who lived in a tiger-infested area. When I asked, I learned that all three males of the woman's family were killed by tigers. Confucius asked the woman why she didn't move out of this place. The woman said that they were more afraid of harsh tyranny.

So Confucius sighed with emotion that "rule is more fierce than tigers."

Wu Mei has another opinion: "Compared with the end of the Sui Dynasty, Datang’s taxes are already much lighter, not so much. There should be some people here who are simply trying to escape hard work, and would rather give up one hand or one foot. When the'waste' in the eyes of individual people, if things go on like this, more and more people will be opportunistic, and those who like to do things and do things will be more and more. These practices should be ordered to be banned."

Di Renjie also finished reading Zhang Jianzhi's article, and he also agreed with Wu Mei's views. This is understandable when the tax is heavy, and it is very sympathetic; when the tax is light, it is too bad to do it. It is not good for the court or for yourself, and it should be banned as much as possible.

Tang Jing said: "The saint should have a decision."

Li Yuanying nodded. Although the museum newspaper is not a serious publication, there are still people among the hundred officials who love to read the museum newspaper. Someone will definitely submit this article to Li Erbi.

Of course, it is not Li Yuanying’s habit to sit and wait for someone to do things. He said: “This Cambodian article is really well written, and the idea is also very good. I’m going to talk to Lao Kong, and quickly recruit people into the Imperial College. Don’t put on airs. Send people to other places for nothing!"

Li Yuanying did what he said, and immediately took the article to find Kong Yingda.

It happened that Kong Yingda was in the straight house, seeing Li Yuanying coming, brows jumped and asked him what he was coming for.

Li Yuanying showed Kong Yingda the front page article of the newspaper.

Kong Yingda didn't understand, so after reading the article carefully, she felt a little shocked in her heart. Although he has gone through two dynasties, he became famous as a teenager. He has not suffered much. He has been studying the classics all his life, and he does not know much about the people's livelihood.

After reading this slightly naive article, Kong Yingda also feels that the author is an individual talent. Looking at the small print at the end, it says that the author Zhang Jian, who was seventeen years old, came to Beijing to study. Kong Yingda understood what Li Yuanying meant: "So many classmates are not enough for you to make friends, and you want to invite others to come and play with you?"

Li Yuanying was not convinced: "What does it mean to play with me? What I do is serious. Look at when I did bad things after I entered the Imperial College?"

Kong Yingda thought about it for a while, Li Yuanying was indeed horribly well-behaved. He nodded and said: "Based on this article, entering the Imperial Prison is enough, and I will arrange him to enter the prison as soon as possible when he comes."

Li Yuanying was happy. He urged Kong Yingda again: "Brother Huang doesn't have time to read our library newspaper. Why don't you submit the article to Brother Huang and let him see what to do with this matter." After Li Yuanying finished the discussion with Kong Yingda from his friends Having said that, no matter whether it is overtaxing or laziness of the people, it is not for them who have not entered the court to judge, it is still necessary for Fang Xuanling and the others to come to the profession.

Kong Yingda responded. Although he only cares about education, His Majesty Li Er emphasizes the rule of culture. If he asks for advice, his Majesty Li Er will meet him. This article is well-written and well-founded, and it should not be false. These circumstances should indeed be known to His Majesty Li Er.

Dismissed Li Yuanying, Kong Yingda packed up and went to the palace.

His Majesty Li Er heard people say that Kong Yingda was here, and he was still a little surprised.

His Majesty Li Er asked Kong Yingda to be put in and invited Kong Yingda to sit down and speak.

Kong Yingda submitted the museum report, and let His Majesty Li Er look at the front page article above.

His Majesty Li Er had heard of the newspapers run by the library, and knew that some good articles would be published from time to time. However, in the end, the museum newspaper is only a free organization of non-official scholars. The quality of each issue varies from good to bad. Although Li Yuanying sends a copy to the palace every day, His Majesty Li Er does not have so much time to read each issue.

Since Kong Yingda came here to let him read this article, His Majesty Li Er took the museum newspaper and read it carefully.

After reading, His Majesty Li Er sighed. He said: "I am still not doing well enough to make the people feel at ease."

Kong Yingda certainly couldn't take this, he praised Li Er, and relayed the discussion of Li Yuanying and others to Li Er. He also felt that whether it was for the court or for the people who hurt themselves, this practice should be explicitly prohibited.

His Majesty Li Er nodded in agreement, and then glanced at the introduction in the small print on the museum newspaper, and he had some impression of Zhang Kanzhi, who was only seventeen years old. He said: "This kid's article is well written. You must cultivate it when you enter the Imperial College."

Kong Yingda responded and said again: "His Royal Highness Teng can't wait to bring someone to play with him."

His Majesty Li Er said: "The kid doesn't want to play with someone when he sees anyone?" When he mentioned his younger brother, Li Er said quietly, "Fortunately, he has a good vision and he knows a lot of people. Ability, I didn't get along with any messy people."

What can Kong Yingda say? Kong Yingda can only say that it is true. His Royal Highness King Teng has a precise vision and makes good friends. He often takes turns occupying the top spot.

His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied, and asked people to find Wei Zheng and the others to talk about the "Fu Shou" and "Fu Zu", and by the way, the prince was also called in to observe.

After the emperor and his ministers discussed the countermeasures to ban "blessed hands" and "blessed feet", and sighed at sitting, His Majesty Li Er seemed to inadvertently boast about his brother, which was quite tortuous, saying that this article was a museum newspaper. Who got the newspaper? His brother! Who presented the article to Yingda Kong? His brother! The things they are discussing now have been discussed by people around his brother. What does this mean? His younger brother is smart, and the people around his younger brother are smart too!

The younger brother of the Hunshi Little Demon King has become so outstanding now, he can't praise Kong Yingda enough, of course, he must call all his confidants to praise him at once, and let Cheng Qian come over to listen and study hard!

Everyone listened very silently.

Changsun Wuji even thought in his heart, yes, your younger brother's eyesight is so precise that even your talented person has been asked for it. If you just indulge him so much, soon this kid will be able to jump to the sky!

The author has something to say:

His Majesty Li Er: He hurt his brother face to face and praised him behind his back.

Little Prince: Brother Trash! (Point to point)
