There was a locust plague in the northern area of ​​Daheng. The saint wanted to cancel the Longevity Day, but the previous preparations have been prepared.

The news that Gu Yuanbai sent soldiers and horses to send food and grass to northern Xinjiang could not hide the envoys who had already arrived in the capital. He was straightforward, and invited envoys from various countries to the scene to personally watch Daheng's soldiers and horses go out.

This group of envoys were invited to the city wall, looking at the thousands of horses and army under the city wall, unknowingly, there was a bit of chill behind the back.

When looking down from a high place, the number of military horses seems to be invisible. So many soldiers and horses and food are arranged in an orderly manner, with flags covering the sun and majestic.

Daheng has not launched a military fight for many years. It is still big and strong, but the surrounding countries have seen that this powerful country is gradually declining. The rulers of Daheng had a cowardly heart. They let the nomads wreak havoc on the border, so the surrounding countries also began to have the heart to bully the big brother.

but now.

These envoys looked at the densely packed Daheng soldiers under their feet, and looked at the sophisticated equipment and strong postures of each soldier. They wondered in disbelief: How could Daheng soldiers be so energetic.

Their horses have powerful limbs and their soldiers are full of vigor. Take a look at the endless carts of grain. With so much grain, did the emperor of Daheng take out all the grain in the granary? !

He is not afraid to take out all the food now. If there are some natural disasters later, will the whole Daheng be destroyed?

The messengers were puzzled.

But no matter how much they thought in their hearts, how much they didn't want to believe, they still remembered this shocking scene in their hearts. His scalp even felt numb because of the magnificent long army, his legs were tight, and he couldn't move a bit.

It was not until the army walked out of sight and the **** who accompanied him to watch the soldiers march out to remind them that these envoys recovered.

The Forbidden Army officer on the side laughed twice, and said modestly: "These soldiers are just a small part of the Forbidden Army. It makes everyone laugh."

The translator from Honghe Temple was also with him, smiling and humblely translating the sentence of the officer to the envoys of various countries.

Waiters from different countries look weird, is this modest? This is a demonstration!

Among these envoys from various countries, there is only the shadow of the Xixia envoy. They are still learning the rules of Daheng in the Mingsheng Post.

These messengers didn't even bother to ask where the Xixia messengers were going.

If it is said that before seeing this scene today, the messengers of other countries still have a little thought after the locust plague in Daheng, but after seeing this scene today, they have withered.

Even if it was a major locust plague, the food was enough for soldiers to die of locusts that could only survive for three months. The locust plague in the north did not cause any harm to Daheng at all. And seeing how the officials and people in the capital are still holding the emperor’s birthday lively, how do you think they have not yet run out of food.

These envoys racked their brains to see the traces of Daheng people's swollen faces and fat people, but no matter how they looked, they only saw the people who were extremely happy because of the coming of the Longevity Day.

The emperor of Daheng was definitely not a robber. He did not use this as a reason to ask the envoys of various countries to contribute to the locust plague in the north. But after showing the strength of their fists, they were put back in a gentleman manner, and even thoughtful officials were sent to accompany them on a tour of the capital.

When wandering in the capital, from time to time, a messenger pointed to a wooden tool guarded by officials on the side of the road: "What is this?"

The Daheng official glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, this is a fan car."

A fan car on foot?

The envoys asked, "Is this different from the previous fan car?"

"It's no different from the previous fan cars," the official said. "It's just that the hand crank is changed to a foot pedal, which is easier and more powerful, and it can clean the chaff and dust in the grain more cleanly. ."

The envoys took a few more glances and saw that the people lined up in front of the fan car, and after each cleaning and shelling, they paid a small portion of the grain for the use fee according to the catty, or handed over the husks that came out.

These numbers are really small, and even the people with the least harvest have enough energy to come and shell, not only these on the roadside, but also crowds of people pushing the bigger fan carts to the distance with sweat. go with.

"This is a large fan car," the official explained on the initiative. "It is placed in the government office on weekdays. If the people need it, they will go to the government to rent a fan car together on the basis of Wu Ji."

A messenger was sure, "That must be very expensive."

The official calmly said, "No. A household only needs to pay a hundred yuan, and a household with such a large fan car can clean the chaff in at most two or three days. If there is a diligent and reluctant to pay, Then there is no eating or drinking, and it only takes almost a day."

There are five households with five households. A large fan car is worth five hundred yuan a day, and two days is one or two silver. After being evenly divided among the people, the people can afford the money, one household a day A hundred wen is really not expensive.

The messengers had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, and the officials changed a topic in time, and led their thoughts to the colorful paintings and bright cloths on the streets.

After Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace, he asked someone to write the fate of the two wives of Xue Mansion again.

Both Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue’s fate levels are mentioned up. The men who can lead the family in the Xue Mansion have already left, and there is only one inexperienced person with a bad reputation. Gu Yuanbai has to let others Know that Xue Mansion cannot be bullied.

After finishing these trivial matters, Gu Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his foot and kicked the two wolves lying next to the case, let them go to a corner to lie down, and told the palace attendant: "Daily let They are full, but don’t stare at me hungry."

Tian Fusheng persuaded: "Holy, the wolf is fierce in nature. How can you keep it by your side?"

Gu Yuanbai lifted his lips, "I like it."

He has done a lot of dangerous and exciting things, let alone the matter of raising two adult wolves by his side, Gu Yuanbai has really not done it.

I started to move around in my nature, even if I knew it was dangerous, I couldn't bear itching my hands.

Gu Yuanbai thought for a while, "Go find a few people who are proficient in animal training, and let them see how far these two wolves have been tamed now."

Tian Fusheng should have retreated to find someone.

"Wolves." Gu Yuanbai said several times, then heard a few inhalations. He turned around and saw that the two gray wolves lying in the corner heard his voice and stood up and walked to his. Beside.

Although they look scary, but they will be wailing, an inviting appearance.

Xue Yuan really taught them well.

Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand, and one of the wolves paced under his hand. The wolf's head licked, the scarlet tongue licked its sharp teeth and nose, and it also threw past Gu Yuanbai's hand.

Gu Yuanbai pushed the wolf while pulling out the strategy theory that Kong Yilin had handed in some time ago, and slowly looked at it.

Kong Yilin's policy theory has written more than 5,000 words. If it were translated into the vernacular, there should be 20,000 words. Gu Yuanbai watched very slowly. Only by watching slowly can he fully understand these meanings and then transform them into his own things.

After he had read more than half of his policy thesis, the sky outside was already dark. After dinner was put on the table, Gu Yuanbai took the theory and sat at the table. After taking a few mouthfuls, he found that there were some vulgar words in the article.

Vulgar characters are the names of simplified characters in ancient times. Chinese characters have been divided into simplified and traditional characters since ancient times. In Kong Yilin's articles, if the strokes are complicated and many characters with large heads, they are not sticking to one pattern. They are used directly for convenience. Vulgar words.

Gu Yuanbai felt familiar when he saw these words. Sometimes he smiled when he saw them, feeling very kind.

The lights were beating, and the night was getting darker. Before returning to the bedroom, someone from the Supervision Office came to report.

"Holy Lord, the newly appointed magistrate of Huangpucheng found a strange-looking fruit in the local area," the humanity of the Supervision Office said. "This fruit is bright red and petite. The locals call it the red lantern fruit."

Gu Yuanbai raised his head abruptly, his eyes gleaming.

"The county magistrate of Huangpucheng felt that he was on his birthday, and thought of the anti-corruption incident. He thought it was a divine fruit from the sky, so he sent it up and hurriedly transported it to Beijing. But the red lantern fruit is bright in color and red like a fire. , I am afraid it is highly toxic."

This thing should be a tomato.

The origin of tomato is in South America, but in modern times, experts once discovered tomato seeds when they excavated the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty in 1983, but no one can be sure whether the tomato seeds were passed down from the Han Dynasty to this day, or whether they were tomb thieves or transporters. In the process, he accidentally fell into it, so Gu Yuanbai did not have the hope of still eating tomatoes in his life. 1

Suddenly knowing that Tomato might have been found, Gu Yuanbai suppressed his joy and excitement, and immediately ordered, "Bring it to me."

The people from the Supervision Office presented four or five red light fruits, and Gu Yuanbai knew it must be a tomato at a glance. The palace attendant put on leather gloves for him. Gu Yuanbai picked up a tomato and touched it. The fruits that were presented had been selected in layers, and the skin was round and red and fresh. He had people take a bowl, and with force in his hands, the tomatoes burst out of tender meat and sweet and sour juice. The fragrance was rich, and the slightly sour taste made people unconsciously slurp.

These tomatoes are a bit smaller than modern tomatoes, and the taste seems unchanged.

Gu Yuanbai put down the tomatoes and let people take off their gloves, “half of these red-light fruits are reserved for seed planting, and the other half are sent to the Taiyuan Hospital for poison testing. After confirming that the food is harmless, come to inform me immediately.”

The person from the Supervision Office nodded yes.

Gu Yuanbai washed his hands and looked at the tomato and tomato juice in the bowl that he had crushed. He sighed quietly, "Take it and throw it away."

This is really the biggest surprise in these days.

Now, for the sake of safety, although he can’t eat it, Gu Yuanbai knows in his heart that this thing is harmless to eat, and once it’s harmless, it’s sweet and sour, it can be used for soup and vegetables, as long as the yield can be Keep up, and soon will be on the people’s kitchen table.

Tomato is really the biggest gift he has ever received on his birthday this year.

*

The saint received the red auspicious fruit, and the Prince He received a special apologetic gift from the Xixia messenger at noon two days later.

A beauty of Xixia.

Xixia's women are beautiful, so beautiful that they have been written in many articles and verses. This special beauty sent to Prince He's Mansion, hairpin repairing her face, pink cheeks better than Huajiao.

This woman was brought by Mr. Wang, the doorman in the Prince's Mansion. Mr. Wang said: "The messenger from Xixia said this was an apologize to the prince."

He and the prince had a calm face and sat on a high position.

Xixia's woman raised her eyes and noted his appearance, saluted and got up, her waist soft.

"Apologize to this king?" He said, "Why does he want to apologize to me."

Mr. Wang whispered softly: "I heard that it was the envoy from Xixia who had collided with the prince, so he was worried and came here to apologize and confess."

Hearing this, the prince frowned.

Why didn't he know that Xixia's envoy once ran into him?

"Send it back, this king is not interested," and the prince stood up, in a grumpy tone, "Tell the Xixia messengers, don't disturb your thoughts, and take a woman to bribe this king. He wants to ask this king to do it. what?"

"If there is a real collision, then take a gift to come to the king to explain the reason," and the prince sneered, "what a good guy to hide behind a woman, step back. Mr. Wang, you better wake up, don't Promise everything, and bring all kinds of people to this king. If you can't refuse the beauties, then accept the beauties by yourself!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left the hall in a stride.

Mr. Wang's complexion didn't change, he smiled slightly and turned to the Xixia woman and said, "Please go back."

*

The Xixia messengers finally learned Daheng's etiquette this morning, and they can enter and exit the Mingsheng Post at will. But on that night, the Xixia beauty who had just been sent out was sent back dingy. For the Xixia people who have always been proud of the Xixia beauty's reputation both at home and abroad, they can't get up at a single breath. They just think it is more important than learning Daheng's rules. Come humiliated.

Li Angshun sat at the table with a gloomy expression, "This and the prince kept me here for more than ten days, but now, he has completely forgotten me?"

Xixia beauty lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

Li Angshun's expression became uglier as he thought about it, he clenched his hands and sneered, "Then do you remember the appearance of the Prince?"

Xixia beauty said: "The Prince and Prince have a handsome face and are very handsome."

Li Angshun's expression changed slightly, "Very handsome?"

He remembered the half of the chin he saw in the carriage that day, and the fingers that lifted the curtain. Can it be called "good looking" and "very handsome" in this way?

If it was handsome, he would still believe it, but looking at the woman's words, he could only hear the heroic spirit, but did not hear anything else.

During the few days when Li Angshun was locked up in the Mingsheng Station and studied the rules, when he was very upset, he always remembered the condescending man on the carriage. As long as you think of it, you can endure impatience and humiliation, and continue to learn the rules.

Whenever he couldn't bear it, he thought about how he would be so humiliated face to face that he couldn't get off the stage with the prince after he went out. Whoever wanted to be with the prince never remembered him!

The prince Xixia sullen his face under the candlelight, "He asked me to bring a gift to the door to apologize, then I will go there in person tomorrow."
