Chapter 175 Change of Mindset
"You bastard, what are you doing?"
Seeing hundreds of Guozijian students passing by, a vegetable farmer went straight forward and asked a boy from the same village.
"Uncle Wang, don't stop me.
Today, the Holy Prince is going to show his holiness in front of people, and we will go to meet His Royal Highness together. "
The fifteen or sixteen year old boy replied anxiously.
The vegetable farmer let go of his hand when he heard the words, and quickly followed beside the bully.
"Mother!
Appear in front of people!
Isn't that about to become a fairy?
I also go with you to say goodbye. "
"Uncle!
The matter of His Royal Highness is different from what you think, it is not about becoming an immortal and becoming an ancestor.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guided the way forward for me and other scholars today, and I just went to pay my respects sincerely. "
"Oh, so it is."
The vegetable farmer couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
The bully was a little dissatisfied.
"Uncle, don't underestimate what His Highness the Crown Prince said today.
Set your mind for heaven and earth!
Live for the people!
For the sake of the pilgrimage to the saints!
Peace for the world!
The four words of Huanghuang are all related to the common people in the world, word by word.
With the Holy Prince like this, I and all the people in the world will benefit endlessly in the future. "
"Is it possible to reduce taxes?"
The vegetable farmer pouted and asked.
"can!"
Niu Hoang firmly agreed.
"Is it possible to reduce the tax?"
"It can!"
"what?!
Is there really such a good thing? "
The vegetable farmer was surprised.
The bully raised his head triumphantly.
"No lie!
Not only that.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just proposed to establish a life for the living and the people, and in the future he will definitely promote education.
It won't be long, uncle, your son will be able to go to school too! "
"Mother!
And such good things?
If this is the case, I would be willing to serve His Highness as an ox or a horse. "
The vegetable farmer's eyes were shining, and he grinned silly and said, "How about I go with you to meet His Highness?"
"Nothing is impossible!"
The bully frowned, nodded and said, "But uncle, please don't say anything wrong later."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I promise not to talk.
I just want to kowtow to His Highness. "
"I will also kowtow to His Highness!"
"Go together!
go together! "
"..."
Many people have heard the conversation between the two bullies.
The people who learned about this along the way all spontaneously followed the students of the Imperial College.
The original team of hundreds of people turned into thousands of people in an instant.
Hearing this, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and sent Jinwu Guards to accompany him on guard.
The purpose of arresting Su Jing has also become a respectful invitation to His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the palace.
As for returning to the palace...
Close the door will inevitably inevitably lead to a severe beating.
……
"Old man, old man!
You can save me! "
Looking at the densely packed heads outside the window, Su Jing cried out in a sad voice.
Li Yuan's scalp also felt numb when he saw it.
"Jing'er, this old man has more than enough heart but not enough energy.
Even if you push these four words on the old man, someone has to believe it!
You often call yourself a Poet Immortal and a Poet Sage in front of people, and others must believe that this matter has something to do with you. "
"Ugh!"
Su Jing patted his forehead annoyed, and asked tentatively: "How about...
How about you and me alone?
Boy, give another sentence to your son, and another sentence to my mother? "
"Clap~"
"Ouch!"
Li Yuan slapped Su Jing heavily, and said angrily: "How can one person say such shocking words!
And how can I, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, be timid and irresponsible in doing things!
Today's matter is up to you.
If Li Er dared to speak out to blame, the old man would bump his head to death in front of Suzaku's door! "
"okay!
The old man is indeed mighty and domineering! "
Su Jing grinned happily.
He coughed twice, straightened his robe, and walked out the door with a serious face.
It's just that when he walked to the head of the gate, he still couldn't help shivering when he looked at the thousands of literati and common people with red eyes and excited expressions.
Under these people's impulsiveness, would they give him...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guides the way forward for Confucian scholars like us, and devotes all his energy to the people of the world!
From today onwards, we shall follow His Highness's instruction.
Set your mind for heaven and earth!
Live for the people!
For the sake of the pilgrimage to the saints!
Create peace for all generations! "
"Stand up for heaven and earth!
Live for the people!
For the sake of the pilgrimage to the saints!
Create peace for all generations! "
Wang Xuance raised his arms and shouted, and then bowed respectfully.
Seeing this, thousands of people behind him knelt down in unison.
Su Jing's unanimous movements made Su Jing stunned in place at a loss.
To be stopped and worshiped by thousands of people was something he never imagined.
In decades of past and present lives, he has never been respected by so many people in public.
And just looking at these excited faces, one can know that it is definitely not false.
Whether it's the officials of the Imperial College in scholar's uniform or the common people in coarse linen clothes, they all sincerely thank him for his kindness.
but……
He shouted Hengqu four words just to pretend to be 13, not really thinking about it.
Facing these clear and sincere eyes, he suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
After all, as a foresight traveler, he has enough ability to change the status quo of people's hunger.
But for personal reasons.
But he never took the risk to offer suggestions to help the people get rid of the fear of famine.
Even the upcoming severe drought and the locust plague that will strike next year, he never mentioned a word to anyone.
Even in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he didn't even make much preparations for Sujiazhuang.
It should be known that this is a major event related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of households in the entire Guanzhong area.
Although it is recorded in "Zhenguan Zhengyao", the locust plague did not cause too much loss because Li Shimin ate locusts.
But since His Majesty Li Er revised the history books, how credible are the records of later generations?
You must know that the grain in the entire Guanzhong area has been eaten up by locusts.
The Tang court, whose internal treasury can run rats, can't get enough food to relieve the victims.
Moreover, transportation in ancient times was not as convenient as in later generations, and it would definitely be difficult to raise food from other places.
Presumably, there will be at least a hundred thousand victims of starvation in this natural disaster!
And he...
In the past few months, this matter has been intentionally or unintentionally avoided and never mentioned.
"call!
Shame on me too! "
The complacent look on Su Jing's face has long since disappeared.
He raised his head and exhaled a breath of depression, and bowed to everyone in return.
"You guys have received this obeisance today!
I will repay it ten times in the future! "
Say it.
Without waiting for everyone to get up, Su Jing turned and walked towards Liu Jishu.
Now he has no evidence that the locust plague is coming, even if he reports it to Li Shimin, he will not take it seriously.
Instead of being shelved by Li Shimin at that time, it is better to find a powerful person to be a lobbyist.
And in his opinion, Empress Changsun, who is deeply loved by Li Shimin, is the best candidate.
As long as Empress Changsun can believe in herself, she will definitely convince Li Shimin, a stubborn emperor.
And as time goes by, there will be more and more evidence that the locust plague is approaching.
At that time, Li Shimin couldn't help not paying attention.
……
It is recorded in "King Ding Quan Tang Wen".
Li Shimin once said:
"I use my humble body to be a great treasure.
Above the princes and dukes, he ranks among trillions.
Inspirational and self-denial, seek the best governance in detail.
Work hard, four years here.
The order of yin and yang cannot be made in the world, and the wind and rain follow the time...
……
And the land of Guanfu has not been cultivated for years.
From spring to summer, hyperactive yang is abusive.
Although I prayed cleanly and sincerely, I sacrificed my love.
The ointment and rain should be punished, and Tian Chou's business will be abandoned.
……
There are hundreds of civil and military developments, and it is advisable to seal them all.
I've said it so much, don't hide it. "
Only from this article can we know that the early Tang Dynasty was not as prosperous and prosperous as later generations believed.
But natural disasters continue, people eat each other, and they don't give in much compared to the Chongzhen Dynasty.
According to records.
The first year of Zhenguan.
Severe drought and hunger, there is no rice or wheat.
The people sleep on the road, and a bucket of rice is worth a thousand dollars.
The spring of the first year of Zhenguan.
There was a severe drought in Hebei.
summer.
There was a severe drought in the states of Shandong.
Spring and summer of the second year.
There was a severe drought in the Guanzhou states.
same year.
The prefectures in the Guanzhou are in drought again.
Therefore, even if the Tang court opened warehouses to release grain, the people could only survive by selling their children and daughters.
And this situation has been maintained for at least seven or eight years.
Su Jing originally thought about waiting for the big locust next year, so he tried to persuade Li Shimin again.
But now...
He really couldn't sit idly by anymore.
If he could not save these victims who were about to starve to death, he felt that he would be happy to hang the southeast branch himself.
