Chapter 530 The Beginning of a New Era

Yunchu didn't know why the old monkey would consider a duel with a savage in a cage full of spikes, which seemed inconceivable to Yunchu.

The old monkey has clearly reached the pinnacle of society, so why would he behave in such an incomprehensible way.

Yunchu knew that anyone who invited Tang Emperor Li Zhi to a duel would be killed by the overwhelming Tang people in the fastest and cruelest way, and then it would be announced to the world that the winner of the duel was Their Majesty Li Zhi!
And His Majesty Li Zhi will definitely agree with this result, and will proudly announce it.

The people of Shi Kingdom are beasts, they are cruel and arrogant, and they are very strong.

According to the news brought back by the secret spies of the Tang Dynasty, one Shiguo warrior can face two Tang troops head-on without losing the wind, but ten Tang troops can be indistinguishable from ten Shiguo warriors. A single Tang army can chase [-] stone country warriors and kill them. If there are [-] well-equipped Tang soldiers, the generals of the Tang people will start thinking about how to overthrow the stone country or destroy the stone country at this time.

The people of Shiguo adore people with strong personal force. These people are often rebellious, and think that only the fighting like chopping melons and vegetables is worthy of their own heroic life.

This is not the case for the Tang army. Once on the battlefield, the collective is the most important thing. The generals of the Tang army like to kill those who don't like to obey orders and are rebellious.

Kill more people like this, and everyone will habitually obey orders.

Therefore, people in the Western Regions valued individual achievements, while people in Tang Dynasty, once a war started, they defaulted to being a member of the collective.

Therefore, in the eyes of Datang people, a duel is just a game. Only the heroes in Xiliuying and Xinfeng City would do such a mindless thing.

Such a thing as a duel would never happen to nobles like Yunchu in their lifetime.

After getting all the information about the Bagman from the old monkey, Yunchu left the matter to Yin Erhu to deal with.

Compared with this matter, he wanted to know the story between Fei Jiu and Cui Yao.

Fei Jiu ran out and did not return overnight.

Cui Yao seemed very happy after tasting the welcome meal that Yu Xiurong specially prepared for them, and listening to Yu Xiurong's arrangements and requirements for them.

Immediately, Cui Yao proposed the establishment of Yun's Women's School in Yun's.

Among them, the most important thing is to teach without discrimination.

That is to say, in the women's school built by the Yun family, not only women from the Yun family can enter the school, as long as Cui Yao is willing, even the daughters of slaves can also enter the school. rations.

After hearing this, Yu Xiurong was very dissatisfied, and felt that her husband had become the biggest injustice in Chang'an City, and asked Cui Yao to use Yun's money to complete her grand narrative of being educated without distinction.

She even suspected that the reason why Cui Yao caused this disturbance was for this purpose, not to come to the Yun family and help the Yun family to complete the upgrading and transition. For this reason, she was very troubled and told the matter before going to bed. I told her husband, hoping that her husband, who is smarter than when she was pregnant, would come up with a good idea, dispel Cui Yao's idea that there is no one to teach, and concentrate on teaching Naha, Li Si and Yunjin.

After Yun Chu heard Yu Xiurong's words, he raised his hand and slapped Yu Xiurong's bare buttocks several times without explaining a word.

When I invited Cui Yao to have breakfast the next morning, I told her that Yun had saved 3000 taels of gold in the Xiangji Kitchen of Da Ci'en Temple as the operating expenses of Yun's girls' school. He also told Cui Yao that if necessary, he could arrange The housekeeper Liu Yi went to help her with some chores.

Cui Yao looked at the aggrieved Yu Xiurong and said, "Ma'am is right to think about the Yun family, but I don't know that the only things that the Yun family can do at present are the military achievements of Lord Hou and the governance achievements of Wannian County, and these achievements It's too common, it's enough to be included in the history books, but it's not enough to make the Yun family at this time the pioneer of the aristocratic family."

But Yun Chu said: "To my wife, the Yun family is everything to her, to a certain family, Chang'an is everything to a certain family.

Whether it is a famous name in history or a long family, it is only a small probability. Yun does not want these things, but only wants the people around him to live like a person. "

After hearing Yunchu's words, Cui Yao said with great interest, "Junhou is also a man with a big heart."

Yun Chu said again: "Mr. Cui is wrong again, I am actually a person who likes extravagance, luxury houses, fancy clothes, food, and all the beautiful things in the world, but I don't have the ability to take advantage of the poor. I don’t want to take the last piece of clothing from them and the last bite of food in their mouths to satisfy my desires, so after making them rich, I can be as extravagant as I want.”

Yu Xiurong saw Cui Yao looking at her.He seemed to be asking for advice, so he nodded and said, "My husband's words are not wrong at all. He is a person who must taste the knife skills and heart even if he eats pickles."

At breakfast, Yun Chu didn't mention Fei Jiu, and Cui Yao seemed to have forgotten Fei Jiu's existence. The three of them discussed the scale of Yun's Women's School and how to invite more female gentlemen to join in the grand event.

Yunchu firmly believes that since Cui Yao is known as the best female gentleman, she will definitely know more excellent female gentlemen. With 3000 taels of gold, Cui Yao can invite all the female gentlemen she values ​​over her at will. .

In Yunchu's view, this is a logical thing. After all, this is called the head effect.

The matter of Yunchu's humiliation of Cui Zhen was only brewed overnight, and it broke out completely in the early morning.

The literati wrote articles to scold Yunchu all night, and the military generals roared one by one to challenge Yunchu. The reason why they were so excited was because the people of the Tang Dynasty, generals, married women with five surnames, and buried them in Beimang Mountain after death. As a prerequisite for the great consummation of life.

However, the literati also knew that there was a high possibility that they could fail to write articles written by Yunchu, and the generals also knew that if Yunchu took their challenge seriously, they would most likely not be able to defeat him.

Therefore, the literati ran to Lishan to live in seclusion after writing articles and cursing Yunchu, and the generals went to Zhongnanshan to clean up after finishing their mouths. In short, they just didn't give Yunchu any chance to fight back.

Of course, what they did the most was to impeach Yunchu, and among them Chang Shulai was the most crazy.

This year, Li Zhi still didn't go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, but chose to enjoy the cool breeze on the nearby Qujiang River, which was regarded as a summer escape.

Wu Mei's belly was already too big and she couldn't go far, so she also stayed in Qujiang.

Li Zhi picked a leaf from the cotton field, and the leaf had been gnawed into a mess by aphids. Because there are many aphids, there are also many spiders. Many cotton branches are covered with cobwebs. Such a cotton field does not look like it at all. The appearance of being able to harvest.

"So, Yunchu's decision not to grow cotton next year is actually a desperation choice, right?"

Li Zhi threw away the cotton leaves covered with aphids, and asked Meng Yuanfu, the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, who was following him.

Meng Yuanfu bowed and said: "For ten thousand years, the cotton production reduction in Chang'an counties has been irreversible. If there is no heavy snow in Chang'an that can kill insect eggs when winter comes, next year, ten thousand years, Chang'an counties will definitely not Plant cotton again."

Li Zhi stopped at the edge of the cotton field and sighed: "I thought cotton could enrich the people for a long time, but I didn't expect it would not last long. You can see how difficult the people's livelihood is."

Meng Yuanfu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, when there are many cotton bugs, you should switch to other crops. After three or two years, you can plant cotton again, and after three to five years, you can plant crops again. Repeat this. Can avoid pests."

Li Zhi nodded, seemingly relieved, pointing to the rotten cotton field in front of him and said, "Since Yunchu is constantly burning cotton fields with insects, let's burn this one too, so as not to harm Dafang."

The cotton in Qujiang Palace did not grow well, but the onions here grew lush and lush, and it looked like a bumper harvest.

Li Zhi tore off a green onion leaf, put it in front of his nose to sniff, and then went straight to the gazebo. In Chang'an in June, as long as people are exposed to the sun, they will suffer a lot.

The giant bear got into the Qujiang pond and refused to come up. There were lotus flowers growing there. The giant bear flopped and broke a lot of lotus in the water.

Wu Mei herself is very afraid of heat, and because of her pregnancy, she can't live without a fan player by her side.

Seeing Li Zhi coming in, he smiled and said: "It's a hot day, why does Your Majesty go under the sun? Your wind disease is the worst thing to avoid the heat, so you'd better be careful."

Li Zhi opened his arms and let the cool wind blow in from the wide sleeves to cool his whole body. After the sweat on his body was dried by the cool wind, he said to Wu Mei: "Princess Le Lang can't die yet."

Wu Mei nodded and said: "I have been guarding against her suicide, but I didn't expect this woman to be a stubborn one. She couldn't bear it several times, but she just gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

The concubine has already sent her to the Imperial Hospital, and after taking care of her body, the concubine intends to continue to ask her where are the seeds of potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. "

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei with a smile and said, "Why didn't the empress ask Yunchu why he knew about the existence of these crops, and why Princess Lelang called the poison of moringa, but was eaten by him at Yunchu's place?
From this point, we can know that Yunchu's understanding of these crops is far better than Princess Lelang's. "

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Didn't Your Majesty already force him to attack Cui Shi? Since Your Majesty already has a charter here, why bother with me?"

Li Zhi sighed and said: "The Cui family has no talents, so Yunchu easily succeeded, but I didn't find out anything, and let Yunchu's soldiers retreat without blood.

Tell me, such a family deserves to be compared with my Longxi Li family, Empress, let Xu Jingzong revise "Clan History". "

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will be more confident when Li Yifu returns."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan have recently come up with a new scientific examination method. I'm going to try it out and see how it works?"

Wu Mei turned her plump body over on the brocade couch, looked at Li Zhi and said, "What kind of scientific examination method will make Your Majesty feel like a treasure?"

Li Zhi said indifferently: "Stop passing test papers, stop recommending, name the test papers, and send them to the examiner after copying.

I really want to know, after suppressing those wealthy families, will I be able to find the talents I need from the poor families. "
