Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1840 One Thousand Enemies Chapter 840 One Winter
Since the beginning of winter, there has been heavy snowfall, and the entire Guanzhong road has been blocked by heavy snow. Even the Weishui River has been frozen for several days.

Fortunately, the people have been making money year after year, and their lives are gradually getting better. Usually, masons can be invited to repair the houses. Therefore, although the snow is heavy, there are very few houses that collapse, and there are very few homeless people.Furthermore, Jingzhao Mansion has a good foundation. Fang Jun left a large sum of money when he left office, and Ma Zhou is an unselfish official who is proficient in practical affairs. All the officials and servants were dispatched to help repair and strengthen the houses, and provide shelter and food for the affected people.

People in Guanzhong raised their foreheads and celebrated. One "Fang Qingtian" left, and another "Ma Qingtian" came.

In previous years, every time there was a heavy snowfall, there would be starvation everywhere and corpses everywhere. The common people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Instead, those literati and poets took advantage of the heavy snow to leave the city in groups, either to visit a temple on Zhongnan Mountain, or to live in guesthouses in farms on Lishan Mountain. , chanting the winter snow and praising the prosperous age, many excellent works came out in a short time, making the Guanzhong circle extremely active.

It's just that at this time, there will always be people who bring out Fang Jun's poems and lines in those years. Apart from criticizing and moaning, they often make those literati who have just made masterpieces full of depression.

no comparison...

Chang'an, Fangfu.

Inside the study, Fang Xuanling was wearing a thick cotton coat, sitting on a chair and carefully reading Fang Jun's letter.

There were more than twenty pieces of letter paper, and Fang Xuanling read them over and over again for two hours before he folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, put it on the desk, picked up the already warm tea, and He took a sip and slowly closed his eyes to rest.

I gave birth to a good son...

On the letterhead, Fang Jun explained the layout of the Wa Kingdom in detail. Of course, the view of "cultural aggression" cannot be written down. The huge energy contained in it, as well as the huge benefits it brought to the Central Plains Dynasty after its success, can be said to be unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future.

Is it difficult to destroy a country?

It is difficult to say, there are many countries in the world, and there are natural barriers between them. If the country is not strong and powerful, it will not be easy to conquer.It’s not difficult to say, but it’s really not difficult. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the national power has gradually become more and more prosperous, especially the force of force is unmatched. Even if the Turks have hundreds of thousands of strings and a vast territory of thousands of miles, they are still driven by the Tang Dynasty. Fallen flowers and flowing water corpses littered the field, fleeing in panic?

However, it is easy to destroy the Turks, but it is as difficult as ascending to the sky to conquer them.

First of all, the differences in living habits and cultural customs make it difficult for the two nations to integrate.The Turkic descendants were regulated by the imperial court in the south of the Hetao. They have lived and multiplied for many years, but they have always been incompatible with the people of the Tang Dynasty. The conflict is very deep. From time to time, some things will happen. If it is not the former Turkic Khan who guards the land Ashina Simo, who is well-known among the Turkic people, may have been rioted for a long time, and there will never be peace.

However, Fang Jun's strategy of "cultural aggression" is much milder than the strong backlash caused by the destruction of his country and the forced captivity of his people to join the Tang Dynasty, but the effect is not bad at all.

If the Japanese speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, read Han classics, and wear Han clothes in the future, the gods they believe in are no different from those of the Han people, and they must be naturally close to the Han people. , and now they have the same cultural origin, what does it matter if the country is destroyed and included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

If all the foreign countries around the Tang Dynasty were like this, there would be fewer wars, and the population could multiply, with more generations than one generation, and the same origin of culture would inevitably lead to intensified exchanges and national integration. The blood of the Han people flows...

How magnificent is that? !

Fantastic idea, the talent of Zaifu!
Even Fang Xuanling, who is so deep in the city, can't hide his pride at this moment.

What could be more comforting than having a child who is promising?
Drinking the tea happily, Fang Xuanling didn't put the teacup on the table until the pot of tea was exhausted, got up and called the steward of the mansion: "Prepare the car, go to the palace."

"Here!"

The steward hurried out to prepare the car, Fang Xuanling rolled up his sleeves, and walked out of the main hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, a gust of cold north wind blew towards Fang Xuanling's face with snow scum, making Fang Xuanling's beard fly and his face cut like a knife, but the thick cotton coat on his body was not penetrated by the cold wind.Although this padded coat is not as gorgeous as fur, it is light and close-fitting, making it warmer to wear. In the end, if the price is cheap, ordinary people can buy a few more.

This winter's heavy snow, Guanzhong did not freeze to death like in the past, this padded coat can be said to have made a great contribution.

Who would have imagined that these useless "white dippers" produced in the Western Regions would turn out to be such warm things after they had been shelled and de-seeded?

Not to mention the cotton cloth woven from cotton, which is soft, light, and cheap.

For this alone, I don’t know how many people pay homage to Fang Jun who discovered cotton, planted cotton, and spun cotton cloth.

It is an honor to be a father.

Compared with losing face because of this stick in the past ten years or so, Fang Xuanling is now really feeling relieved and full of ambition.

Get on the carriage and go to the palace.

The snow on the road has long been cleaned by the officials of Jingzhao Mansion. Although the weather is cold, there are gradually more pedestrians on the street. The door has been closed by heavy snow for several days. Now it is finally a sunny day, and the people always want to go out to buy things Some firewood, rice, oil and salt.

At the gate of the imperial palace, Fang Xuanling got off the carriage. The soldiers guarding the gate had already notified the servants inside the gate to welcome him out. He first greeted him, and then took the waist card document from Fang Xuanling, and respectfully invited him to come out in the Chengtian Gate. Later in the concierge, he trotted to ask the emperor for instructions.

It was just a proper procedure, Fang Xuanling asked to see, no matter how busy the emperor was, how could he not see him...

Not long after, the waiter came back panting, breathed white air in his mouth, and said with a smile: "The house minister has been waiting for a long time. Your Majesty invites you to the Shujing Hall of the Shenlong Hall to meet you."

Shujingdian?
Fang Xuanling was slightly taken aback, that was the bedroom of Princess Changle, as a foreign minister, it was a bit impolite to go straight to the princess's boudoir...

However, he only hesitated for a moment, then smiled and followed the servant into the palace.

Since the emperor summoned himself in the Shujing Palace, there must be a meaning...

Shujing Palace.

The windows on the attic have already been replaced with glass, bright and majestic. The windows on the north side are facing a small lake in the palace. There is a spring in the lake. From a distance, the misty clouds, the snow-capped lakeside, and the red corridors turn around, which is more like a fairyland in Penglai, with a warm and graceful atmosphere.

When Fang Xuanling arrived, His Majesty Li Er was sitting cross-legged behind the table in ordinary clothes. The inscription is exactly the memorial that my son presented to the emperor from the Wa Kingdom...

It is rare for Princess Changle not to wear Taoist robes today, but a crimson palace attire, her hair tied neatly behind her head, her face is beautiful and her expression is calm, she bowed down and said: "Lizhi has seen the prime minister."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "The old man has already retired, how can he still deserve the title of 'Fang Xiang' from His Highness? Your Highness has disgraced the old minister."

Princess Changle said gently: "Even if you become an official, Fang Xiang will always be the prime minister of the empire. Without your hard work and hard work, how could the Tang Dynasty be so prosperous? Love you forever."

Everyone knows that Princess Changle has a cold personality, these words of praise are extremely rare in normal times, so even Fang Xuanling, who has long been honored and flattered, will inevitably feel a little happy when he hears the words.

His Majesty Li Er beckoned, asked Fang Xuanling to sit in front of him, and said with a smile: "Li Zhi admires Xuanling the most. If she was not a daughter, she would have wanted her to join your sect at the beginning. , as long as you can learn half of Xuanling's ability, you will be qualified for the position of a prime minister."

"Your Majesty's praise, how dare you be an old minister?"

Fang Xuanling was vigilant, the two father and daughter gave high hats as soon as they met, there must be some intention?
It seems that I didn't choose a good time to enter the palace today, I feel like I stepped into a pit...

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling with a smile. This minister of the humerus has been with him for many years, and they understand each other better than husband and wife. Naturally, he knows that with Fang Xuanling's experience and wisdom, he must be able to see the clues, so it is not hypocritical. , Straight to the point and said: "Fang Jun said in the memorial that he has leased two lands in the Wa Kingdom for 500 years... Hehe, this kid is really messing around. How can there be a land lease for 500 years? But the Wa Kingdom agreed, and also I don't know what method was used... But these are not important, the important thing is that the land really fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, an island rich in gold and silver, and a port directly connected to the capital, not only of great significance, but also the benefits contained in it , It is simply immeasurable! This is an unrivaled feat. With this feat alone, it is not an exaggeration for a prince. It's just that this kid is still young, and his style of acting is a bit edgy. If he is promoted too much, it will be bad, so Let him be the Duke of the state for a few years, after all, he is just... But right now, there is something for Xuanling, so you can come up with a charter and help me to go into details..."
