Opening the letter, Li Chengqian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and the bold and short legs that could kick and kick appeared in his mind.

Also ask yourself if the problem is solved?

This must be on purpose!What a hit!I'm not afraid of punishing him myself, but he probably doesn't know his identity, otherwise he wouldn't dare to write a letter to run on him.

Still have a bunch of clever questions?

Li Chengqian's heart really trembled as Xu Changsheng expected, and he would take out the math problem when he was free, and he would grit his teeth every time, how could anyone pour water and release water at the same time!

The letter said that there were still a bunch of questions like this, so I couldn't help being a little curious, and I didn't know if they said it on purpose to squeeze him.

Read on, the bean sprouts belong to his family?Can't help but laugh, is this to show off to him?

Now people all over Chang'an think that the Xu family found the bean sprouts in some deep mountain and old forest, and it was just good luck.

The thinking of the people in Datang was solidified, and they still thought that the beans should be sown in the ground, and then wait for them to take root and sprout. If there is a pest or something, the survival rate will not be high. It never occurred to me that the bean sprouts do not need land and grow extremely fast. .

Even the imperial court thought it was a rare thing, so there was one more dish on the table, and they didn't realize its value.

Some things are just like this, if you don’t point them out, you will never know how powerful they are.

When Li Chengqian put down the letter, there was something a little more on his calm and indifferent face. Did he get teased by a short leg? ?

……

At this time, Xu Changsheng and Changbai brothers were being taken by Xu Changying to play in Chang'an.

The yelling of Xiaoer, the hustle and bustle of the street, the carriages passing by, the antique wooden buildings, this is Datang, the genuine Datang.

"Let's go knead the dough." Brother Changbai shouted.

Xu Changsheng raised his head, "Hmph, the kneader is for children, so I won't go."

"You're just a kid."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, that's right, he was just a child, his eyes lit up, and he ran away, "Let's go, let's knead the dough."

Holding a dough man in his hand, wearing a tiger-head hat, walking around the street with his calves kicking and kicking, it is strange to see anything. The last time I followed my grandfather, my grandfather was afraid that he would be stolen by others, so he would not let him Take half a step away.

Good looks also have their disadvantages, Ren Yazi likes to stare at them, I heard that children of officials and eunuchs have lost them before, it is scary.

"Where is that?" Xu Changsheng asked, pointing to a red door with peeling paint. There was a broken drum in front of the door. The building was big, but it was too old and in disrepair. Even the wood of the house was eaten by moths. hole.

"That's the Yamen of Chang'an." Brother Chang Bai shouted as if he knew it.

Xu Changsheng: "..."

It's really Qingshui Yamen, and it's a little too simple.

Eyes moved, "Can you go in and have a look?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Changying slapped the head, "What do you say, only prisoners enter the yamen."

"Oh!"

Xu Changsheng scratched his head and started to stroll again.

Next to the yamen, there is a shop that makes lanterns. Not to mention, the craftsmanship is not bad, and there are animal lanterns.

"Let's buy lanterns to play with." Changbai seemed to particularly like this kind of light.

Xu Changsheng rolled his eyes, "I can make lanterns fly, believe it or not?"

"Fairy...!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Changsheng stared back.

"Mr. Xiao Lang is talking about Kongming lanterns? The small shop is not good, but there are also Kongming lanterns."

Xu Changsheng failed to pretend.

Brother Changbai was extremely excited, and looked at Xu Changying.

Xu Changying is no longer as penniless as before. It is rare for the younger brother to come, and these little things must be satisfied.

Kongming lanterns look good only at night.

It's just that the children won't be able to wait for the night when they get good things.

Not far away, the two children urged to light the lamp.

Xu Changying couldn't help it, so he handed over the flint that he gave when he bought the lamp just now.

The two found a seat where no one was around, and played with their buttocks up.

"Oh, it's up, it can really fly." Brother Changbai shouted.

Xu Changsheng looked contemptuous, ignorant, he was just a Kongming lantern.

The Kongming lanterns were lifted into the sky, and people around also cast their gazes, to release Kongming lanterns in broad daylight?

But when he saw that there were two children, he had a clear expression. Who doesn't have two brats!

The lantern lifted off, but didn't fly very far.

At this time, Xu Changsheng was stunned, because an eagle suddenly rushed over from nowhere and knocked the lantern straight through.

There was a leak, and the lantern fell with a clatter.

Xu Changsheng blinked, what a flight accident!The plane crashed and the bird died, no, the eagle flew up again and escaped.

Hit and run!

There was also a rope around the eagle's neck, which seemed to be someone's pet.

Brother Changbai also blinked, "Is there... is there smoke?"

Xu Changsheng looked over, and there was green smoke rising from the place where the lantern fell just now, and it was getting bigger and bigger...

……

Half an hour later, Xu Changsheng and the others entered the Chang'an yamen that he wanted to visit just now, so it was all his miss?

In the hall, Cui Zhitong, the county magistrate of Chang'an, sat on top with a dark face. He was so daring that he burned the backyard of his yamen in broad daylight.

Xu Changsheng blinked his eyes, that is to say, the county lord is the plaintiff?

This……

He just said that the yamen has been in disrepair for a long time, and it can be ignited even in winter when there is still snow.

Xu Changying has already sent someone to notify the eldest grandfather and her husband, Wang Jieyi, but... even though it is just a county magistrate, his husband may not even be able to talk, because he is the county magistrate of Chang'an.

Equivalent to the mayor of Beijing.

Moreover, the burning was in the backyard of the yamen, and it was indeed a bit...

If it is a burned house, it will be settled with a sum of money.

Now it depends on how the magistrate of Chang'an judges. If it is an accident, it will be easy, but if it is a provocation to the majesty of the court, it will be difficult.

"It has been verified that the Kongming lanterns were bought by you. There are many witnesses to the lanterns on the street, and there are witnesses and evidences. Do you have anything to say?"

Xu Changsheng tilted his butt, he was going to be spanked, right?

Brother Changbai's face turned pale, and it was probably his first time in court.

"Since you don't want to defend yourself, then you will be charged, dragged out to hit 200 boards each, fined [-] taels of silver, and repaired the backyard of the yamen within one month." Cui Zhitong said with a dark face.

This……

Even the expressions of the common people watching the excitement changed.

The [-] boards in the yamen are not a joke, these three people are just two children and a woman, if the [-] boards go down, they may not be able to get out of bed for the rest of their lives.

They were here to watch the excitement, so they felt that at most they would be fined more and reprimanded.

After all, it was an eagle that accidentally knocked down the lantern, and did not burn down the backyard of the yamen on purpose.

Besides, it's snowing heavily now, and there aren't many burning places in the backyard.

Cui Zhitong has his own ideas. He was born in the Cui family of the Tu nationality in Shandong. He has just taken office.

As soon as the voice fell, two people came in outside and shouted, "Slow down!"

It was the great grandfather Xu Wenyuan and Wang Jieyi who came here.

Wang Jieyi stepped forward and cupped his hands, "My lord, can you see that Zhuo Jing and the others are unintentional mistakes, and let them be dealt with lightly."

This is the yamen court, above the court, the chief interrogator is the biggest, even if the prime minister comes, he has to be called a lord.

Cui Zhitong was taken aback for a moment, this person is the chief minister of the central government?

I was so angry just now that I didn't look at the file carefully, and turned over the file unintentionally, and it turned out to be a family member of an official.

He raised his eyebrows, but he was just a seventh-rank official, and he had no backing behind him. He was Chang'an Ling. Although he was also a seventh-rank, Chang'an Ling was special.

With a movement of his eyes, he just didn't know who to use to light the three fires he had just taken office, and said, "I judge the case, do you still need you to teach me?"

Wang Jieyi was stunned. When it comes to officials and officials, he usually thinks twice, but this person doesn't show any affection at all.

"Come here, don't drag these three criminals who provoked the court and ruled out law to beat them hard."

Cui Zhitong sneered, a mere governor of the central government, why should he let himself face, he judged the case based on the facts, even dared to burn the yamen, isn't he provoking the court?

In front of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is no distinction between women and children.

The yamen servant was about to step forward, when another voice called "Slow!"

It was the great grandfather who spoke.

Cui Zhitong's expression turned pale, "How can you be presumptuous in the court!"

The great grandfather cupped his hands, "Old man Xu Wenyuan."

Cui Zhitong was taken aback, Xu Wenyuan, it was him?

But, so what, he is no longer a doctor of Guozijian. He was a famous Confucian in the government and the public, and no one listens to what he says now.

Grandfather glanced at Wang Jieyi, Wang Jieyi was a seventh-rank official, but it didn't work, so what if he was a farmer now?

After thinking for a while, he said, "My lord, is there still a rule that my Great Tang Law uses meritorious deeds?"

Cui Zhitong thought to himself, what does he mean?Want to use credit instead?What credit does he have?

Grandfather Xu Wenyuan sighed, "My Xu family is willing to donate the technology of growing bean sprouts to the imperial court to replace the punishment of the three of them."

Cui Zhitong laughed, "What do I mean? Now that winter is coming to an end, what is the use of the imperial court asking you, an old farmer, to grow bean sprouts? It's ridiculous!"

If it is winter, if you dedicate it to the powerful, you may be able to make people laugh, after all, there is an extra dish on the table.

The great grandfather said, "May I borrow a pen and ink for use?"

Cui Zhitong was a little disdainful, but he still asked people to prepare pens and inks, the iron case was like a mountain, what else could he do?

The great grandfather wrote a few words, and then someone handed it up.

Cui Zhitong looked at the handed paper with a smile, but suddenly he was shocked.

Grow without land?

The reason why the Tang Dynasty lacked food was not because there was less and less land that could be cultivated, and the fertility of the land was also less and less.

Can one catty of beans produce five catties of bean sprouts?Can it be done in three days?

This... He also buys bean sprouts in the house recently, why haven't he heard of it?

Imagine that one catty of beans is used as five catties...

Thinking of this, he trembled all over.

This discovery, this must be... how much credit!

Cui Zhitong stood up in shock.

Then he sat down calmly.

The problem of lack of food in the Tang Dynasty has never been solved. Even people around Chang'an starved to death. It is conceivable in other places that it must be a great achievement to offer such a great strategy to solve the food problem to the court.

But how big the credit is, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

If he said that the Xu family had discovered this method when he paid tribute, then he would only be crediting his due diligence.

If the Cui family discovered this method, it would be different, and the whole family would benefit.

Moreover, everyone in Chang'an City now thinks that the Xu family was just lucky to pick bean sprouts for sale under some special circumstances.

As long as you operate it, it may not be impossible.

He also admitted that the Xu family first discovered bean sprouts in winter somewhere, but it was their Cui family who went to investigate in person and found a method to turn one catty of beans into five catties of bean sprouts within three days without using land based on special circumstances.

Cui Zhitong is indeed a little clever, relying on the strength of the Cui family, it is really possible to do it, the truth is the easiest to believe.

Cui Zhitong said to the great grandfather, "Yes, but you still have to be punished for burning down the yamen to show the majesty of the court. I will punish your Xu family not to sell bean sprouts in Chang'an."

If the Xu family still came to Chang'an to sell bean sprouts, there would be a loophole. Since the Cui family discovered the method of growing bean sprouts, why did the Xu family also produce bean sprouts?

As long as the court promulgates the method of raw bean sprouts, who cares where he sells them.

As for the people who have heard a few words outside the court, they are just a few ordinary people, even if they are suspicious, what kind of disturbance will they cause?
