Prince of Tang Dynasty

The middle-aged man looked very excited and muttered a lot, while Fakong's expression remained calm.

Li Mingda stared at Fakong and the middle-aged man in amazement, and asked Li Yu in a low voice, "Xiao Yuer, what are they talking about?"

"The prince who seems to be talking about them is coming to Datang." Li Yu sucked the last noodle in, picked up the empty bowl and said loudly to the proprietress, "Madam proprietress, let me have another bowl of mutton noodles."

"okay."

Seeing that Li Yu had finished a bowl of mutton noodles, Li Mingda didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly finished the noodles and soup in the bowl, "Madam, I want another bowl of noodles too."

When Li Yu and Li Mingda's second bowl of noodles came out, the middle-aged man was still talking to Fakong.

Fakong was eating noodles slowly while listening to the middle-aged man's nagging.After he finished his bowl of noodles, the middle-aged man's chatter was not over yet.

"Sorry, two little benefactors, for causing you trouble."

With noodles in his mouth, Li Yu couldn't speak, so he raised his hand and waved at Fa Kong, signaling him not to care.

After Fakong saluted Li Yu and the others, he left with the middle-aged man.

Seeing the back of Fakong and the others leaving, the middle-aged man who has been talking has always been very respectful to Fakong, Li Yu bit his chopsticks and said: "This monk is not simple, maybe it is some kind of national teacher from the Wa Kingdom, or Monk."

"Xiao Yu'er, you said that monk is the national teacher of the Wa Kingdom, or an eminent monk, so why did he come to study in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Mingda asked with a puzzled expression, tilting his head.

"Of course it is because our Tang Dynasty is advanced." Li Yu said this with a very proud expression, "Our Tang Dynasty is very advanced in terms of culture and economy, leading the world, so people from these small countries sent people here We study in Datang."

Hearing what Li Yu said, Li Mingda instantly understood, and then a look of excitement appeared on his small face: "Aye is so amazing."

"That's right, Aye is amazing." Li Yu was very proud in his heart to be the son of old Comrade Li in the Tang Dynasty. "Let's not talk about it, let's eat noodles quickly and go to the southern suburbs later."

"Xiao Yu'er, let's compete to eat noodles to see who can eat faster." Li Mingda blinked, with a sly smile on his face, "If I win, you will carry me. If you win, I will carry you." .”

"It's okay for me to carry you, but can you carry me?"

Seeing that he was underestimated, Li Mingda glared at Li Yu angrily, "Little Yu'er, my body is better than yours, and I'm stronger than you, so I can definitely carry you on my back."

"Okay, let's start now." Li Yu tapped the mouth of the bowl lightly with his chopsticks, "One, two, three, let's start."

The guests at the next table saw Li Yu and Li Mingda, a pair of beautiful children eating noodles, smiled kindly, and kindly told them not to get burned.

Li Yu ate faster than Li Mingda at first, but then deliberately slowed down, allowing Li Mingda to win.

"I won." Li Mingda cheered happily, "Little Yu'er, you have to carry me on your back."

Li Yu put on a disappointed expression on purpose, and sighed a long time: "Oh, I'm willing to admit defeat."

Li Mingda smiled very happily. Her smiling face was so bright in the sun that other people couldn't help being happy too.

Li Yu said, "I'll pay the money first, and then I'll carry you back."

Li Yu and Li Mingda ate tens of pennies for this breakfast, which was not expensive, but it wasn't cheap either.

In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty has been in good weather and the economy has become prosperous. The living standards of ordinary people have naturally improved a lot, and the prices of goods have naturally increased.

Li Yu once read an article on the Internet in his previous life, saying that many poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties could not afford houses in the capital and could only rent houses in the capital.Even if you rent a house, the rent is not cheap.

After Li Yu paid the money, he carried Li Mingda to the Carp Restaurant.

Li Mingda was worried that Li Yu would be exhausted, so he asked Li Yu to recite it for a while and put her down.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

At this time, Zhou Yi hurriedly ran towards them, "Your Highness, I have finally found you." He left the palace and rushed to the Carp Restaurant. Seeing that the two Highnesses were not there, he was very scared. light.If something happened to the two Highnesses, even ten lives would not be enough for him.

"Monday, get ready, we will go to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs later."

"Your Highness, don't you wait for His Highness Prince Jin?"

"Brother Nine will come over by himself after school." After Li Yu finished speaking, thinking that he asked Zhou Yi to inform the eldest grandson Queen about their departure from the palace, "Aren't you angry?"

"No, the Empress asked the servants to take good care of you."

Li Yu suddenly thought of one thing, and immediately made a decision in his mind, "Mingda, we've been living in Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs for a while, and we won't be going back to the palace for the time being." He wants to build a farm in Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, running back and forth every day , is not only a waste of time, but also tiring.Besides, I am afraid that the palace will not be peaceful these few days, so it is better for him to hide.

Li Mingda, who was lying on Li Yu's back, heard this, and a happy smile appeared on his delicate and cute face: "Really?"

"Really, I'm going to be busy building a farm these days, and I'm too tired to run back and forth every day. I might as well live in a village in the southern suburbs."

"Great, I want to live in Zhuangzi." For Li Yu's decision, Li Mingda agreed with both hands and feet.

"Your Highness, is it not good that you want to live in the Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs?" Zhou Yi couldn't help but worry in his heart, "The empress probably won't agree."

"What's wrong, it doesn't matter if Auntie agrees or not, we'll cut it first and play later." Li Yu instructed Zhou Zhou, "Go back to the palace now, pack Mingda and I's clothes, and then wait for Brother Jiu to come with us."

"Your Highness, what about you?"

"Mingda and I will go to Zhuangzi first."

"Your Highness, servants are worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about, you go back to the palace quickly."

"Your Highness..." Zhou Yi still wanted to say something, but was scared by Li Yu's sharp eyes and dared not say a word.

After returning to the Carp Restaurant, the shopkeeper had already prepared the carriage.

After sending Li Yu and Li Mingda to the carriage on Monday, he returned to the palace with anxiety in his heart.

"Little Yu'er, are we really going to live in Zhuangzi for a while?"

"Well, I'm afraid the palace will not be peaceful these days, so let's avoid trouble."

Li Mingda knew what Li Yu was talking about, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Unfortunately, we are still young and can't hunt yet, otherwise it would be so much fun to hunt on horseback."

"Little Yu'er, you forgot that we don't have horses."

When it came to horses, Li Yu straightened up, "Aye said to give me thirty horses, but I don't know when they will be given to me."

"Xiao Yu'er, don't think about it for now. The two of us escaped privately. Aye will definitely be angry if he finds out, and he will definitely punish us when the time comes."

"Mingda, don't worry, I won't let you be punished." Li Yu was very good at escaping punishment from Comrade Li.

"I won't let you be punished either."

Next, the siblings lay on the window of the carriage, staring curiously outside.

Li Yu looked at it for a while and found that there were many foreigners on the street. He couldn't help feeling strange, "Why are there so many foreigners?" Comrade Li's birthday has passed, what are these foreigners doing in Datang?

Every year on Li Shimin's birthday, many countries will send envoys to celebrate Li Shimin's birthday.Li Shimin's birthday was on January 28th, and at that time the entire Chang'an City was very lively and bustling.

"Is there any special festival recently?" Li Yu thought about it carefully, and found that there was only the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were no other special festivals.

"Little Yu'er, it's the Dragon Boat Festival soon."

"What does the Dragon Boat Festival have to do with these foreigners?" Li Yu thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us."

"When Brother Jiu comes, you can ask Brother Jiu."

Li Yu nodded and didn't say anything else. There was nothing to see outside the window, so he turned back from the window of the carriage and continued to lie on the carriage with Erlang's legs crossed.

Seeing that Li Yu didn't look at him, Li Mingda imitated him lying on the carriage and looked at Erlang's legs with him.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly, almost causing Li Yu and Li Mingda to slip out of the carriage.

"Master, there are people fighting and making trouble ahead, blocking the road." The coachman raised the curtain and reported respectfully.

"Fighting and making trouble?" Li Yu and the others lay on the window of the car, poked their heads out and looked forward. They saw that there were layers of people in front of them, and they couldn't see the situation ahead at all. "Go and see what's going on."

"Yes, sir."

Li Yu and Li Mingda were lying on the window of the car, and heard the sound of beating and scolding from the crowd in front.The beating and scolding sounds had a strong local accent, so I couldn't understand what they were scolding.However, the sound of beating and scolding was so intense, it should be quite serious up front.

"Little Yu'er, why don't we go and have a look?" Li Mingda was curious about what happened ahead and wanted to go and have a look.

"There are too many people, we can't squeeze through, so we won't go to see it." Li Yu guessed, "It should be caused by local hooligans arguing and making trouble." Their carriage had already driven out of Dongshi, and they were in the area of ​​Nanshi at this time.There are many people in Nanshi, and there are all kinds of people.

After a while, the coachman came back, "Master, it's a drunk veteran who is making trouble."

"Drunk veteran?"

The coachman said: "I heard that the veteran has always owed money to the owner of the wine shop. Today the boss reminded the veteran to pay back the money, which angered the veteran, and the veteran started to go crazy and smashed the wine shop."

Li Mingda frowned and said: "It's only natural to pay for drinking. If he doesn't pay back the money, it's fine. Why are you still smashing the wine shop?"

"My little one heard that this veteran had fought against Turks and Geely before, and made military achievements, but when he was fighting Geely, the enemy cut off an arm. Because he didn't have an arm, he couldn't continue to stay in the barracks. "It only took a while for the coachman to find out the whole story. "Not long after he came back from the barracks, he started to drink and get drunk. At first, he would pay the owner of the restaurant, but after a long time, it is estimated that It was because he ran out of money, so he kept defaulting on the money for the wine. The owner of the restaurant saw him as pitiful at first, so he didn’t urge him to pay back the money, but later the veteran owed more and more money, and the owner of the restaurant had no choice but to urge him to pay back the money. Every time Press him to pay back the money, and he goes crazy."

"So he is a meritorious person?" Li Yu frowned slightly. "He has no arms, so he can't stay in the barracks. The barracks didn't give him money to let him live?" He didn't understand the barracks system of Datang, no Knowing that a soldier who loses an arm or a leg in the field like this is forced to leave the barracks, is there any compensation?

"It is said that there were, but he squandered them." The coachman said with emotion, "Actually, there are many people like this. They galloped on the battlefield in the first half of their lives, and they were very majestic. But because of injuries, their bodies became mutilated and incomplete. , have to leave the barracks, and can only live on the little compensation money from the barracks, which is not good for them."

Li Yu nodded slightly: "Well, most people will definitely not accept it."

"There are many people like veterans in Chang'an City. They can't do much because of their incomplete bodies. They can't last long with that little compensation money. If they don't have money, they can only make trouble." The coachman said with emotion, "Actually, They are poor too."

"Don't the imperial court arrange things for them?" Soldiers who have made military achievements for the Tang Dynasty like this should be treated well, and they should not be chilled.

"No." The coachman said, "the imperial court has given them compensation. Besides, they are disabled and can't do much."

Li Mingda said: "Then let them do nothing like this, wouldn't they be too pitiful?"

Li Yu pinched his chin, looking thoughtful, "Are there many veterans like this in Chang'an City?"

"There are quite a few of them. There is a veteran who is missing a leg next door to the small one." The coachman said, "The veteran next door to the small one lives by knitting things and selling money."

"No wonder you know so well."

"Master, there are more people like veterans in Beishi. Many veterans will do anything to survive. Many people have their heads beheaded for killing people, and many people were exiled. Dead." The coachman sighed softly, "These people are too pitiful."

"Mingda, let's go down and have a look." Li Yu felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what the coachman said, and he couldn't just sit idly by.Whether in ancient times or in modern times, those soldiers who once shed their blood for the country should be treated well and kindly, so that they can live a normal and stable life.

"Master, it's too dangerous."

"I'll go and have a look."

Li Mingda followed Li Yu out of the carriage and squeezed to the front from the crowd.I saw the veteran with one arm missing holding a knife in his hand, waving it wildly and cursing at the same time.Because of being drunk, I couldn't hear what he was cursing, but I could guess that he must be cursing something bad.

Many people were injured by this veteran, but fortunately they cut their arms or legs.

Just when Li Yu was about to step forward, people from Jingzhao County came and arrested the veteran who was fighting and making trouble.

The knife in the veteran's hand fell to the ground, and Li Yu found that the knife was bright, reflecting a dazzling light under the sunlight.It seems that veterans often wipe this knife, otherwise this knife would not be so sharp.

The veteran captured by Jingzhao County's guards was still cursing.

From his cursing, Li Yu probably understood a few words, saying that he had gone to the battlefield to kill Turks and Ji Li people, he was a meritorious person, so why should he be arrested.

Such a person is really pitiful and hateful.

Li Yu did not stop the guards from Jingzhao County from arresting the veteran, but asked the coachman to ask the boss how much the veteran owed him.

The owner of the restaurant told the coachman that the veteran owed him a total of ten taels of wine money.

Li Yu gave the restaurant owner 30 taels of silver, and the remaining 20 taels of silver was used to compensate the veterans for smashing the things of the restaurant owner, as well as the medical expenses for the injured man.

The owner of the restaurant declined repeatedly, saying that the matter should be left as it is, because the veteran is also a poor man, but Li Yu still asked the coachman to give him the money.

Seeing that the coachman insisted on giving him money, the owner of the restaurant had no choice but to accept it.

After seeing the owner of the restaurant accept the money, Li Yu took Li Mingda back to the carriage.

"Little Yu'er, don't we save that person?"

"Why did you save that person?"

Li Mingda was dumbfounded by Li Yu's question, and asked strangely, "Xiao Yu'er, don't you want to save him?"

"He violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty by beating and injuring people, so he should be arrested and punished." Li Yu sighed, "Although he is very pitiful, no matter how pitiful he is, he can't injure people at will."

"Then why did you go down just now?" Li Mingda asked in confusion, "Why did you help him pay back the money?"

"Because I feel sorry for him." Li Yu heard the ins and outs of this matter, and could not be indifferent, "I just think that people like veterans who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty should not be reduced to such a fate." He thought of those people in his previous life. Veterans who also fought for the country lived a life of poverty in their later years.He feels that such people who have contributed to the country cannot be treated like this, because without their contributions, they would not have their current stable life.

Li Mingda felt that what Li Yu said was right, so he nodded in agreement: "En."

At this time, the coachman came back.

"Master, I heard from the owner of the restaurant that the parents of the veteran just now died a few years ago, and his wife and children also ran away, leaving him alone. It's really pitiful."

"Wife and child ran away?"

"I heard that not long after he came back from the military camp, he ran away his wife and children in a fit of anger." The coachman said with a sympathetic expression, "I heard that the veteran was a very good person before. Alas, good luck tricks people."

"It's so pitiful." Li Mingda sympathized with the experience of the veteran.

Li Yu felt very uncomfortable, and always felt that he should do something to help these handicapped veterans.He had to think about what he could do to help them.

The coachman saw that Li Yu's face was not very good-looking, and realized that he had talked too much, so he quickly apologized: "Young master, you are too talkative."

Li Yu waved his hand: "It's okay. By the way, I have one thing I want to entrust to you."

"Master, please order."

"Go and find out how many people like the veterans are in Chang'an City?" Li Yu looked very serious, "Look at how their lives are now."

"Master, what do you want?"

"Things like this can't just sit idly by."

Hearing what Li Yu said, the coachman's expression suddenly became excited, "Master, do you want to help the veterans?"

Li Yu nodded: "Well, I want to help them."

After hearing this, the coachman's eyes turned red, "Young master, don't worry, I will investigate the little one." With the help of His Highness King Rui, the veterans will have hope in the future.

"Go to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs first."

"Yes, sir."

"Little Yu'er, how do you help them?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Yu didn't think of a good solution for the time being, "Get to know the situation first. If the situation is serious, just tell Aye."

"I'll tell Aye with you." Li Mingda said with a smile, "I want to help them too."

"Then let's help them together."

The coachman who was driving the carriage was very moved when he heard the conversation between Li Yu and Li Mingda, and couldn't help sighing: His Royal Highness King Rui and Princess Jinyang are really good people.

On the way to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, Li Yu kept thinking about how to help these veterans.In the previous life, the country would give subsidies to veterans every month to guarantee the basic living conditions of veterans.However, in the case of Datang, it seems unrealistic to provide monthly subsidies to these veterans who are forced to leave the army.

If you only live on state subsidies, it seems that the problems of these veterans cannot be solved.From Li Yu's point of view, these veterans must feel uncomfortable when they are forced to leave the army. From a person who is useful to the country to a disabled person, this kind of psychological gap is unacceptable to most people.

Rather than giving them money, they might want to make themselves useful and make them feel that they are still useful to Datang.It's just that their bodies are disabled, and it is impossible to return to the barracks to fight.What can be done to make them useful?

"Little Yu'er, I can't think of a way to help them." Li Mingda racked his brains but couldn't think of a good way.

"I didn't think of it either." Li Yu scratched his head and said with a distressed expression, "If there is a good way to deal with these veterans, the imperial court should have arranged it long ago."

"Then what should we do?" Li Mingda couldn't think of a good solution, and was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"What should I do..." Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, Li Yu suddenly stood up from his seat, and said with a bright face, "I have figured out a way."

Hearing this, Li Mingda quickly asked, "What can I do?"

"I don't want to build a farm." Li Yu said excitedly, "I need a lot of people to build a farm. I was worried that I couldn't find people. Just now I thought of a wonderful way, that is to invite these veterans Come and work on my farm."

Li Mingda heard Li Yu's idea, and immediately applauded: "That's a good idea, Xiao Yu'er, you are really smart."

"In addition to the farm, don't I want to build a cuju field? I can invite veterans to continue working on building the cuju field." The more Li Yu thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was good. Veterans can continue to work on my farm and in the Cuju field."

"okokokok."

"Letting them work will not only allow them to live on their own ability, but also make them feel that they are useful instead of abandoned useless people, so that they will have hope in order to survive." Li Yu felt that his idea would kill two birds with one stone. .

"Xiao Yu'er, your idea is great." Li Mingda threw Li Yu down when he was happy, "Xiao Yu'er, you are really smart."

Li Yu hugged Li Mingda and rolled happily on the carriage, "I also think I am very smart."

The author has something to say: update the six thousand ones first, and update the three thousand ones later.
