What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

In her previous life, Li Yue had an ID card to prove that she was a citizen, and she was able to live a mediocre life at work, but in this life, no matter whether it was following Li Zhi and Empress Wu, or subtly infiltrating the fief, she finally learned some knowledge. human ability.

For example, here in Lingnan, there are two kinds of officials, one is from ordinary background, bad luck, or offended people and was forced to come over, and the other is offended the emperor in the court, or offended the superiors. A rich man, and then he was relegated.In fact, the latter still has a chance to stand up. After all, to offend the emperor and the powerful is not something that ordinary people can do.For example, Gao Shilian, the uncle of Changsun Wuji, offended Yang Guang back then and was exiled to Lingnan. Later, the world was in chaos, and before Yang Guang died, he went back to Guanzhong in a grand manner and took refuge in the Li family.

But now this kind of thing is impossible to happen, people are determined, even if a caring person wants to cause chaos in the world, it is impossible.

However, these officials who have been relegated to Lingnan are not exiles after all. They still have some old memories in the court after all. When they find the right opportunity and mention it to the saint, they may be able to go back.Even if they are exiled, they can leave when they encounter amnesty. There are also some people who were exiled because they were involved in certain incidents.

However, the officials in Quanzhou do not belong to this type. They came up through the imperial examination and other channels.In fact, there are many channels for becoming an official in the Tang Dynasty, such as recommendation, private appointment, and imperial examination. In addition, as long as you find the right channel, you can also get a small official to do it.The emperor will not be in charge of all personnel rights, just like the chairman of the board of directors of those companies in later generations, will they manage the recruitment of grassroots employees?It's nothing more than the personnel and the supervisors of the recruitment department go through it, and at most it is sent to the chairman to sign and go through a process.The same is true for the emperor, such as low-level officials, who can be appointed directly without going through the process.

In the seven or eight counties here in Quanzhou, there is only one county magistrate who is originally from Lingnan, named Mo Wei. He is a crooked relative of the Feng family. In the Central Plains, most people don't think highly of the Feng family. When they meet each other, they are polite, but they say behind their backs that the Feng family is a barbarian.This man worked a lot on the Feng family back then, and the Feng family arranged for him to conquer the rebellious Shanyue, made some contributions, and then worked a little harder to send him to the position of county magistrate.

Most of the others came from the imperial examination, so naturally they were not Jinshi subjects. There were only a few people in Jinshi subjects each time, and each of them was like a baby bump. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to fall here. Classics, Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingshu, Xiucai and other regular subjects are much easier to test than Jinshi subjects, otherwise there would be no saying that there are fifty young Jinshi and twenty old Mingjing.Datang's Chang Ke has it every year, and Jinshi has the least number of admissions, usually about ten people, sometimes even none. Others have a relatively large number of admissions, but compared to the grand occasion of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is still worse. a lot.As for Changke, in addition to coming from the counties and counties below, there are also those recommended by Guozixue and other local government schools. Anything simple usually has a certain background.Therefore, there is actually very little space left for poor scholars, and when it comes to appointing officials, they are the ones who are taken care of. In some relatively remote places, if there is a vacancy, these poor scholars are usually used to fill them up. .After all, those with a slightly stronger background would not look down on these backcountry locations.

Li Yue asked about the resumes of these people. Even if these people took the imperial examination, they were a bit opportunistic. After all, only those who failed the Jinshi examination would choose other subjects.But if it was Li Yue, most of the time he would also choose the mathematics subject. If you compare your own weaknesses with others' strengths, isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?Even though the imperial court has already rolled out the imperial examination reference book "Five Classics of Justice", compared with those who have been immersed in it since childhood, the elders in the family may be masters of Confucian classics. Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be a good idea to squeeze into Shike with these people?

However, this does not mean that these people are not talents. On the contrary, in this era, those who can stand out in those few regular subjects with strong professionalism can be regarded as the elites of this era.The imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was relatively scientific. Unlike later, it was just a test of poetry, songs, prose and essays. It was no problem to cultivate talkers, but it was difficult for these people to have practical talents.And those who pass these general examinations are at least professionals in a certain aspect. Li Yue especially values ​​those who are able to understand the law and calculate clearly, and they can be regarded as professionals.However, he is the county magistrate after all, so I can't just get people to work for me, so I simply said: "This king is new here, and there are not many talents under the account. Why teach me?"

Even if it is not human sperm who can be an official, at least the implication can be heard. Mo Wei was able to squeeze out many members of the Feng family as a distant relative of the Feng family. With his current status, he is naturally more shrewd. Seeing that Liu Meng didn't intend to speak, he immediately said: "Your Highness, there are still a few worthless nephews by my side. If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, it would be good to ask them to do some work for Your Highness!"

When Mo Wei said this, other people, whether they were sincere or not, all expressed that they had a few capable nephews by their side who could just serve you, Your Highness.

Li Yue is not qualified to conduct any imperial examinations here in Minyue, so he had to play around. At least the juniors of these officials' families can receive a certain education. These people want to leave Lingnan and go to the court to make a living. It's not an easy task, so you guys should be honest and practice with me first!For these people, it's not a bad thing to be able to hang out with Li Yue. Li Yue has already gone to Fujian to become a vassal king. In a sense, as long as there are no major changes, then Li Yue is the local emperor of Minyue. Under such circumstances, following Li Yue is actually a reliable future.They had learned about some things Li Yue did when he was still King Ning from Governor Liu Meng, and if they followed Li Yue, at least they wouldn't be poor.

The banquet this time was relatively successful. Although there was not much music and fresh dishes, the goal was achieved, and Li Yue was quite satisfied with it.

After the banquet was over, Liu Meng left with these officials, and Mo Wei couldn't help it after walking for a long time: "Liu Ming Mansion, why did you say so little at the banquet before?"

Liu Meng was a little helpless, he said: "When you come to be officials, you have brought some nephews of the same clan with you. As for the official, the clan is not very populated, so, except for the two elders, there are no other people. Leader, where did you ask me to conjure up some manpower for this Highness?"

Mo Wei said carelessly: "Anyway, the Ming Palace is adjacent to His Highness, and there will be more opportunities in the future. If there is any good thing on His Highness's side in the future, Ming Palace must not forget us subordinates!"

Liu Meng also had nothing to do with Mo Wei, he was an outsider, but Mo Wei was a coward, even if Mo Wei was a subordinate, it would be difficult for Liu Meng to put on the airs of a superior with Mo Wei, so he could only say: "Don't worry. What's more, Quanzhou is such a big place, so it's possible that the matter on my side can really be hidden from you!"

Another official named Hu Yin also asked curiously at this moment: "Although this Highness is still young, he is born with dignity. It can be seen that he is not an ordinary person. I don't know what is His Highness King Min's plan when he comes to our side?"

Liu Meng sighed and said: "I have also heard about His Royal Highness King Min's affairs. His Royal Highness King Min has done great things in Ningzhou. The problem is that before I came to Lingnan, I was just an ordinary local official. The news is not good. Lingtong, how can I know what happened in Ningzhou? At most, I just heard about it. When I arrived in Lingnan, it was even more tightly blocked. That's all, I found out from the people who went to the Min Palace before! Can follow Min Wang Jiufan's people are naturally the confidantes of the King of Min, and at most they can be trusted [-]% of what they say, so I don't know exactly what kind of person the King of Min is!"

Li Yuecai doesn't care what these people think of him, just like the capitalists of later generations, they don't care much about what employees think when they recruit, they only need 996 from them.Li Yue is not so inhumane, even if you want 996 these days, you don't have this condition, not to mention, it's dark at night, lighting a lamp to cook oil, doesn't lamp oil cost money?In addition, if you become short-sighted, wouldn't it be a waste of time later!

However, other things have already started to be put on the agenda. First, he bought fertilized chicken, duck and goose eggs nearby, and then set up an incubator to start the breeding mode. In addition, he ordered people to open up salt fields by the sea. Quanzhou Although it is rainy, there are still many sunny days throughout the year. Although it is not the best choice to open up salt fields here, it is much better than those ordinary people cooking salt with iron pots and firewood.What's more, the winter here is not too cold, and even in winter, salt can be dried, which makes up for the shortcoming of too much rain.

No matter it is a month, Li Yue is on the right track. At least many daily necessities have achieved self-sufficiency. Quanzhou has also opened a market directly, selling salt, pottery and porcelain at low prices, which are most valued by Shanyue people. It was Li Yue's honeycomb coal, and if you buy two hundred honeycomb coal, you can get a tin coal stove for free.

Li Yue really didn't expect that in Quanzhou, there are still quite a lot of minerals, including copper, iron and lead. The output may be limited, but it is enough at this time.These people brought by Li Yue now have some experience in prospecting minerals. They probably all know what different minerals look like. Some people even discovered the associated gold and silver mines in the copper-iron veins. This is simply money sent to the door, so many people secretly think that Li Yue is the God of Wealth descending to earth, no matter how bad it is, he is also a boy under the God of Wealth descending to earth, otherwise, no matter where he goes, he can find good things Woolen cloth?At least before Li Yue came, no one really found any minerals in Quanzhou.

However, mining is a troublesome thing. The mining technology is very poor these days, and it is basically filled with human life. Even if Li Yue ordered people to carefully strengthen the mine pit and operate it carefully, some accidents would inevitably happen.Li Yue has so many people under his command. Li Yue is really reluctant to ask them to mine. However, if those minerals are not mined, Li Yue's production will not be able to keep up. Therefore, Li Yue has to start Recruitment among people.

These days, there are quite a lot of Yue people in the mountains, and their lives are actually not easy.Generally, peoples living in the mountains and forests usually live by hunting and gathering. The problem is that although there are many prey in the mountains, there are also many dangers. Even the most skilled hunters in their tribe may die if they don’t pay attention. Lost in Shekou.As for what to collect, it’s even harder to say. The climate here is hot and humid. Although there are many kinds of fruits, domesticated fruits like lychees have a short maturity period, and they have no other means of preservation. Eat it for a while when it's ripe, and then it's gone.However, many fruits that have not been domesticated have a bad taste, and most of them have thick skins and large cores, and there is actually not much flesh.The real fruits with high starch content, plump flesh and relatively high yield, such as durian and jackfruit, have not been introduced to the Central Plains yet, so naturally it is impossible to grow them in Fujian and Yue.There is an embarrassing place here in Minyue. It is very close to the tropics, but it is not hot enough. Therefore, some fruits that are more suitable for food are not suitable for planting here, just like coconuts, which have high moisture content. Coconut fruit also has a certain amount of protein and even oil, and the yield is actually not low. The coconut tree is even full of treasures, and the coconut shell and coconut palm can be fully utilized.But if it is planted in Minyue, it is impossible to bear fruit.

In addition to these fruits, they can only reclaim some small fields in the mountains and plant some seeds, but the harvest will not be very big, and even some herbivorous birds and beasts will come to steal them, some Sometimes, the food you collect may not be planted much, which is very embarrassing.

Under such circumstances, they usually bring their prey down the mountain to exchange food with the people down the mountain. After all, there are still many places in Quanzhou that are suitable for farming. , it is relatively fair, but this can only guarantee their survival. As for how good their lives are, even the heads of various tribes dare not say so.

As for Li Yue, he hoped to recruit some miners among the Yue people. At this time, the remuneration he gave was relatively generous. Therefore, even if Li Yue clearly stated when recruiting, mining has a certain degree of danger. Many Yue people are still tempted.Why isn't it dangerous? When climbing a mountain, a careless mistake may lose one's life. Li Yue's compensation is generous, and they can also buy various daily necessities at low prices from the workshops opened by Li Yue at employee prices.

Like table salt, because it is dried out, in the market in Quanzhou, a catty of coarse salt is only [-] yuan, and the employee price is directly discounted in half, which is [-] yuan, which is no different from giving away for free If you buy twenty catties and carry it back, and exchange it with a more remote tribe, you can at least exchange two or three relatively large prey, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a long time.You know, even if they were near the sea, it was not very easy for them to eat salt. It was not because they lacked firewood, but because they did not have an iron pot. It was rusted badly, and it would be broken if you didn't pay attention. In this way, the cost would naturally be very high. At that time, if they hunted a deer, they could only exchange less than two catties of salt, or even a lot of salt. At that time, it was still the kind mixed with sand, but now, although everyone says that the salt is coarse salt, there is almost no sand in it, except that the salt grains are slightly larger, there is no problem, even if it is put in the Central Plains, it is slightly crushed After a while, it can be sold as refined salt.

Under such circumstances, Li Yue finally managed to get a group of miners. He misses the Kunlun slaves he saw in Chang'an very much. I got it overseas, but Li Yue didn't know exactly what overseas.Because the navigation technology is not good nowadays, Li Yue thought that even if it is really overseas, it is estimated that it is not too far away from the Central Plains. Otherwise, even if the price of Kunlun slaves is not low, it may not be able to recover the cost. After all, these days When going to sea, the accident rate is actually very high.

Although Li Yue got some boats, they were actually fishing boats, which were not large in size and could only be used for fishing in the coastal waters. Thanks to the abundance of marine resources these days, the harvest was actually quite a lot. Sea fish is now the biggest source of protein for people in Quanzhou.Li Yue set the price of sea fish not high. The price of fresh fish just returned is more expensive, but most of the fish will be directly dried into dried fish after preliminary treatment. The price of this dried fish is relatively close to the people , so it actually sold very well.Even those Shanyue people who should not be short of meat in theory will buy some dried fish to go back to improve their lives.

In addition, Li Yue also plans to develop another new product, which is fish floss.In his previous life, Li Yue liked to eat meat floss and fish floss. At that time, he bought a bread machine that could make meat floss. Unfortunately, Li Yue threw the bread machine aside because it didn’t work. This leisurely man, he has a lot of things to do in his free time. Apart from his side job, he usually plays games, catches up with dramas, and browses short videos when he has nothing to do. Although the toaster is claimed to be fully automatic, But after all, it still needs to do a lot of preparation work, and cleaning afterwards is also troublesome, and to be honest, the bread and meat floss made at home is not as delicious as the one bought outside. If you have this time, you might as well buy it yourself!However, Li Yue has already figured out the steps of making meat floss and even bread.

The production process of fish floss is actually no different from that of meat floss. Sea fish has a natural advantage in this regard, because sea fish does not have any small fish bones, so it can save a lot of work in processing.As for the seasonings needed, Li Yue originally thought that she could make MSG when she came to Quanzhou.The original monosodium glutamate was actually extracted from kelp. At this time, kelp was still called kelp. In fact, kelp is already sold in the market, mainly from Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo, so the price is not cheap. ,

Li Yue originally thought that there should be kelp produced here in Quanzhou, but he asked someone to look in the sea, but there was no trace of kelp. However, MSG can't do it, but you can do other things!For example, fish sauce, or oyster sauce, these are actually not high-tech, but no one has thought about them before.When the spice planting in Qiongzhou is on the right track, the taste of fish floss will be richer.

However, to achieve this, these few ships are obviously not enough. Li Yue has already started to purchase giant logs from the Yue people, preparing to use them for shipbuilding.Originally, Quanzhou should be a very famous port, and the shipbuilding technology here should also be relatively strong. Unfortunately, it is still too early at this time. Today, the strongest shipbuilding technology is still in Jiaodong, which is actually a perennial port. There are ships going to and from Baekje-Silla, but Quanzhou is still a lot worse now after all.It's a pity that Li Yue couldn't get the craftsmen over there, so he had to figure it out by himself.Fortunately, he made a sailboat model in his previous life, and he made it according to the proportions of the lucky boats in the Ming Dynasty. Now that he recalled the drawings, he was going to try his hand first.

Most of the shipbuilding craftsmen in Quanzhou have only built small fishing boats. They have never seen large boats before. Now they see the drawings given by Li Yue and the simple models, and they feel astonished.In fact, the principle of many things is the same, and there is no problem with the production method. What they lack is the knowledge of new types of ships.Li Yue simply asked them to disassemble the model first, and then make some by himself. These days, it is not like the later generations. The construction can start when the materials are ready, and it is very normal to place an order for the materials to be delivered while starting the construction. things.The wood used for shipbuilding needs to be dried in the shade for a long time, so, at least in the past two years, Li Yue shouldn't expect the boats he built to be able to go to sea.

However, money and power are the last word these days. Although Li Yue is not very good with the gentry in Shandong, who doesn't want to make money?Therefore, Li Yue simply ordered people to go to Shandong and spend a lot of money to buy a few big boats back, preferably the kind of big boats that can fish, as a transition first.

Li Yue felt that she hadn't accomplished anything, but the officials in Quanzhou were stunned by this. They had been officials here for several years, but in just a few months, they felt that they didn't know Quanzhou anymore.

The changes here in Quanzhou have turned upside down, so much so that some Shanyue people who were originally unwilling to go down the mountain even had the idea of ​​going down the mountain.In the past, they refused to go down the mountain naturally because they didn't have much land, and they didn't know how to cultivate it. In addition, they were worried that the government would treat them unfairly. But now, the Min Wangfu has almost made no promises, but it is in the various departments of Shanyue Some miners and other workers were recruited in it. As a result, every time they took a shift or a holiday, these workers would go home with big bags and small bags. Their wages were high and their benefits were good. Some even got married directly at the foot of the mountain. As soon as I went back to show off, many people immediately wanted to follow down the mountain.Among the many types of work in the Fujian Palace, apart from those with relatively high technical content, the miners are the most dangerous, so the wages are the highest, but other workers, such as coal workshops, smelting workshops, brick kilns, porcelain kilns, lime kilns, etc. In other places, the wages are not low. Who makes Quanzhou have fewer people? Since we can’t recruit enough workers, we need to pay more. I don’t believe that no one will come.

Under such circumstances, those Shanyue people no longer need to take great risks to hunt in the mountains as before, as long as they work in the workshop, they can get enough money to allow them to live a very comfortable life , although there are certain risks, but even the most dangerous mine is because Li Yue has taken sufficient safety measures. , to prevent collapse. In addition, the depth of the mine is strictly controlled, and it is not allowed to mine too deep. Even, in order to prevent dust pollution and other occupational diseases, Li Yue also strictly stipulates the working hours of the miners. Must be diverted.

Because of this, many people felt that Li Yue was still a child after all, and his heart was a little too soft. He was so considerate of the miners under his command. If it were other mine owners, they would normally use those miners to death.Like those rich merchants in the middle of Sichuan, the miners they use, no, they can only be said to be miners, they are all slave labor bought from various places, anyway, they are whipped and used to death, the work of a slave worker The normal lifespan would not exceed three years, and even if one survived disasters such as mine collapses, one would still die from problems such as overwork and malnutrition.

After all, Li Yue is not a native of Datang, and he can't really treat a living person as a slave. If it weren't for his smelting technology is far better than others, in fact, the cost of employing people like him is comparable to those of other mines. Than, that is almost a loss.

In short, Li Yue's treatment is so high that those Shanyue people can't wait to go down the mountain to help Li Yue, crying and shouting.Anyway, the supply of his products is usually in short supply, and he can already make a lot of profit just in Quanzhou. If it is really shipped out by sea in the future, then he will still make a lot of money in the future. Under such circumstances, Li Yue can only hope for his own The labor force here is more abundant, so that more goods can be produced.

As for these Shanyue people who don't have any experience before, what are they afraid of, experience and so on, they are all piled up, not to mention, a lot of Li Yue's side is purely physical work, technical work and so on, and many of them are just on the assembly line. There are too many, and it can be done with eyes closed, and the quality requirements for workers are not high.

Li Yue's side never refuses anyone who comes, even women are willing to accept, mainly to do some logistical things, such as cooking for those workers, or making dried fish floss, and what's more, let Some dexterous ones learned to draw some simple patterns on pottery and porcelain, and even some girls among the Yue people also began to learn to draw pottery blanks.There are not many men and women among the Yue people. They have to do their best to survive. Therefore, the women in the tribe also need to participate in a lot of labor. In some tribes, women are still respected. Otherwise, Madam Xian back then could not have such a high prestige among the Yue people.Therefore, here, these women participated in the workshop, and no one would chirp at all.If you dare to talk nonsense, you are afraid that you will be beaten in sacks by those Yue people with abundant martial arts virtues.

In fact, the textile industry is more suitable for women. Cloth and silk are money these days, and you can digest as much as you produce. However, Quanzhou does not have so much land to grow cotton. Moreover, growing cotton here cannot compete with that of the Western Regions. The land there is really boundless. Compared with Fujian, there is not enough arable land to grow rice to ensure food supply. Li Yue does not plan to use these precious arable land to grow cash crops.However, there are many mountains here, Li Yue plans to go back and introduce silkworms, plant a large number of mulberry trees on the mountains to raise silkworms, and then start the silk industry in Minyue.

Mulberry trees like a warm and humid climate. The climate here is very suitable. The mulberry tree itself also has good economic benefits. The mulberry bark can make good mulberry paper. The mulberries can be used to make fruits, dried fruits, and wine. , leaves, bark, and fruit can be used as medicine, and although it is difficult for mulberry trees to grow thicker, mulberry trees are good no matter whether they are used to make bows or handles of agricultural tools. It can be said to be a very good economic crop. .On the Lingnan side, although mulberry trees may not be evergreen all the year round, they don’t shed their leaves for too long each year. In this way, silkworms are produced several times a year. Maybe Fujian will also produce some precious brocades in the future!

However, this year is too late, we have to wait until next year.

When Li Yue arrived in Lingnan, he didn't need to go back to Chang'an every year, just once every three to five years. Even, if Chang'an didn't summon him, he could stay in Lingnan for a longer time.However, this is not advisable. Feelings need to be contacted. If you don’t go back here for a few years, you might be forgotten when you look back.If someone says something to sow discord, they may be in bad luck at any time.

Therefore, even if there was no need to pay tribute, Li Yue calculated the time and ordered people to choose a lot of things as a gift and transport them to Chang'an.Because there were not many special products in the first year, Li Yue picked out a lot of things from his own warehouse and added them to the gift list.

Li Yue miscalculated one thing, that is, in winter, when walking on water, some roads will freeze, even if this time is not a small ice age, but the winter in this era is relatively cold, so, There was a delay of several days along the way, so that it was already past Zhengdan when it was delivered to Chang'an.

Fortunately, neither Empress Li Zhiwu nor those other people expressed any dissatisfaction with this. Everyone can understand this. After all, it was the first time for them to go back to Lingnan, so they inevitably underestimated various unexpected situations.

"This child actually sent so many things here!" Empress Wu looked at the gift list and couldn't help but complained a little, "I won't be able to live well in the future!"

However, Li Zhi picked up the letter under the gift list and read it again, then showed a smile, and said: "Fifteen Lang has done a good job in Lingnan, and it has already improved quite a bit in just a few months. , let him pass by!"

In fact, Li Yue did not write a lot of things in the letter. After all, it is best not to be too frank with a creature like the emperor. This method is the priceless treasure.Datang is actually very short of salt, and salt is still boiled along the coast, but people in most places still eat well salt and rock salt. For example, in Guanzhong, they mainly eat green salt, that is, salt from Qinghai Lake.However, this is limited to the middle and upper classes, such as the lower classes and even the army, who use vinegar cloth. This thing can indeed provide people with the salt they need, but the taste is really hard to describe. Probably the only advantage is convenience. Carry it, just kick it on your body, maybe the next time you take it out, the salty smell inside the vinegar cloth and the little salt contributed by your sweat.

It's not that the imperial court is unwilling to equip the army with salt. It's because the production of salt is limited these years, and the price has never dropped.If there is a large amount of equipment, the imperial court is afraid that the financial situation will be tight immediately.

But now with this method of drying salt, it only needs to open a few salt drying farms in Jiangnan, Shandong and other places, then ordinary people in Datang can also eat salty salt!Correspondingly, there are also a lot of benefits contained in it. As long as Li Zhi does a little calculation, his heart beats faster, and he hardly dares to breathe for a while.

When Empress Wu saw it, her eyes glowed even more. She even felt that it was time to seal Li Yue to the seaside. The method that Li Yue developed to purify table salt had already made them a lot of money. However, being able to really eat After all, there are only a few who can afford this kind of refined salt. No matter how expensive it is, the quantity is here. However, if salt fields are opened up and salty salt is exposed, then the price of salt will definitely drop sharply, and even poor people can eat it. Affordable, under such circumstances, even if the people of Tang Dynasty were only willing to eat a catty of salt for a month, it would be an astronomical figure in a year.Empress Wu was so excited that a blush appeared on her face. The two looked at each other, but they reached a consensus.

When the royal family has enough wealth to overwhelm all other families, then they don't need to pay too much attention to the counterattack of those families.Just in the spring, a new round of imperial examinations will start again, and the plan that was originally shelved should also be implemented.
