Chapter 71 Publicize it

No jokes!

In the feudal emperor era, the king's words were an imperial edict, which was considered an imperial edict. Therefore, the king could not joke, nor could he speak nonsense or boast about it.

Some people originally speculated that the yield of corn, especially potatoes, was fake, and it might be a means by the emperor to stabilize people's hearts and deceive the world.

But after Li Shimin made a few generous speeches, everyone gave up this idea. The paper cannot cover the fire. One day, these crops will be promoted to the world. At that time, the yield per mu will be known to everyone in the world, and the lies will be exposed.

The consequences of the emperor's integrity crisis are self-evident. Li Shimin is not stupid and will never make such a low-level mistake.

So this is true. The yield per mu of potatoes ranges from more than ten stones to thirty or forty stones. The output is surprising and surprising.

Li Shimin said casually: "When I ascended the throne in the past, I prayed to heaven that there would be no hunger in the world and no hunger in the Tang Dynasty... Now with these new crops, coupled with the unity of the king and the subjects, it will be achieved."

When an outsider listens to the excitement, an insider understands the meaning of the story.

How did Li Shimin ascend the throne to the emperor? After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Emperor Gaozu was placed under house arrest and was regent in power in the name of the prince. A month later, Li Yuan was forced to abdicate. A few days ago, rumors spread all over Luoyang, claiming that heavy rain and floods were God's punishment for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and the basis is here.

But at this moment, Li Shimin clearly told the people of the world that when I ascended the throne, what does the wish I made to heaven mean?

The ability of God to satisfy his wishes means that God has not blamed him or was not dissatisfied with him, and it can also be understood as God acknowledging his emperor identity.

God doesn’t object, and it’s natural to succeed to the throne. Is it appropriate for others to talk too much?

There is no hunger in the world, and there is no hunger in the Tang Dynasty. What a magnificent and kind wish. This move is enough to win people's hearts and make the people full of longing.

However, there is a prerequisite for realizing it - the king and the subjects are united. The people will definitely work hard to fill their stomachs. The emperor is already diligent, but the focus is on the "subjects".

As the saying goes, the ministers should obey the emperor's orders and appease the people. In a word, don't speak nonsense, don't make trouble, be in the same mind as the royal family, otherwise they will betray the people and the heavens.

It goes without saying who said this to him. Li Shimin believed that he should understand it and would definitely understand it. Whoever dares to take the world's worst will have to consider whether he can bear this big hat.

This is Li Shimin's most important intention in the Eastern Expedition. He originally planned to use some methods to attack the Shandong family. However, he did not want Xie Yi to give birth to the seeds first, and encountered heavy rains and floods. Some people were restless and deliberately spread rumors and caused rumors to spread.

So, Li Shimin used the trick and responded in this way.

Speaking of shock, what is more shocking than grain that produces thirty or forty stones per mu? Corn and potatoes are coming out, and the people in the world are at peace. What are the benefits of rumors?

The emperor won the hearts of the people, had great military and political power in hand, and had a stable foundation. Then those who follow the king will prosper, and those who rebel against the king may not be destroyed, but they will decline. How should they act in the future must be considered seriously.

At this moment, many unknown officials suddenly came to their senses. No wonder the emperor refused to accept advice and insisted on forcibly organizing a document meeting. It turned out that he was confident and had a deep meaning!

Admiration! Awe!

"I am determined to do my best to assist Your Majesty in fulfilling your wish." Hundreds of people in the square spoke in unison, announcing Li Shimin's goal to achieve.

Xie Yi then introduced peppers and tomatoes. It is naturally a good thing to have two fruits and vegetables on the table. However, it is not as important as food, so shocking, or people are still immersed in shock and unable to extricate themselves...

Li Shimin looked full of spring breeze and said happily: "I won't talk much. Today is a literary conference invited by Li Tai. I can no longer occupy the magpie's nest. Put the cart before the horse. Green bird, let's start!"

Everyone almost squirted blood on the spot. Your Majesty, you are so... Which one is the master and which one is the second? Why should you be so hypocritical? I have a good wool essay, who is still in the mood to recite poems and papers now?

Li Tai felt quite uncomfortable. This essay show was just a political show created by his father using him and Li Chengqian. This time, he asked the essay, which made him feel a little bit mismatched. Especially when he saw Xie Yi showing off, his mood became even darker.

"Everyone, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone writes poems and essays based on autumn, moon, or farming. How about how to imitate the ancient Lanting Collection?" Li Tai stood up and laughed loudly.

The King of Wei invited the emperor and came in person, who dared to refuse? Moreover, many talented scholars originally intended to attend the literary meeting, and intended to become famous and favored by the King of Wei, so they were naturally prepared. Now that the emperor is in power, all officials are present, and they are even more eager to try, strive for a stunning success and make a name for themselves in the court.

"Xie Yi, I'm just hearing that you have good poetry and prose, so I'll show off my skills!"

Xie Yi was about to sit down and drink a glass of wine to moisten his throat, but he heard Li Shimin suddenly shouting. Xie Yi was not interested in this kind of activity, but the emperor's words were completely different.

It is obvious that Li Shimin's words are not a matter of discussion, but an order, and cannot be disobeyed. There are also clear subtexts, and they cannot be perfunctory, and they must write good poems and essays...

Why are you always keen on these troublesome things that are so stupid?

Xie Yi was helpless and had to act on orders and write poems based on the titles of autumn, moon and farming. His true level was too different, so he could only continue to "get from" apologetically.

In front of Mingde Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were busy like flowers and butterflies, giving them pens, ink, paper and ink to the talented scholars.

Some people write like dragons and snakes, and some chant softly, and soon a lot of famous works were published. Most of them, children from aristocratic families or famous families, mostly learn from famous scholars and have quick ideas.

A volume of manuscripts was sent to the imperial court. Li Shimin took a casual look and handed them to Fang Xuanling, Li Baiyao, Minister of Rites, Cui Zhiwen, Governor of Shaanxi Province, and Lu Yanqing, Scholar of the Eastern Palace.

These are the outstanding talents of Li, Qinghe, Cui and Lu family in Fanyang, with outstanding literary talent and great reputation. You can see at a glance how talented you are in poetry and prose are.

When several people saw poems and essays about their families or their parents, their faces were filled with a faint smile. The emperor used two sticks of corn and a few potatoes to shock the world and tremble the aristocratic families. This is a warning.

It is just a warning. After all, the royal family and the imperial court are still inseparable from the support of the aristocratic families. What is the reason? Isn’t it because the aristocratic families control culture and education, have many children and students, and have outstanding talents!

At this point, the aristocratic families are quite proud of it. (This statement is not false. Among the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and Lu Zhaolin was born in the Lu family of Fanyang.)

Seeing them savoring poetry and essays, praising a certain student, or recommending a certain son, Li Shimin kept laughing without saying a word. Until the poem was gone, he asked, "Xie Yi, where is your poetry and essay?"

Li Baiyao, Cui Zhiwen and others immediately looked moved. Why did the emperor always ask about this Huaiyang County? Could it be that in addition to planting new grain, he was also very talented and knowledgeable?

Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and others on the side were silent, while Li Tai looked curious, and his eyes all fell on Xie Yi.

Xie Yi said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I have already written a genius, but I have been busy with planting in recent months and have neglected to practice calligraphy, so I may not have any words on the handwriting."

This answer makes people laugh and cry. As a scholar, can’t I write? Could it be that I was perfunctory and procrastinating?

Xie Yi is hard to say. If our words sound good, it is like a pen, but if it is not good, it is like that... It is not good to see this situation.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was not angry, but smiled and said, "Okay, come and tell me, I will find someone to write for you. Zhinu, I heard from the master of the study that your calligraphy has been quite beneficial recently, so how about you, how about writing for Xie Yi?"

Let King Li Zhi of Jin, the legitimate prince, write for Xie Yi? This action... many people present couldn't help but feel shocked.

This is a great honor, but it is also a huge pressure. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried. If this is not written well, the consequences will be... Humph!

"My son follows the order!" After a spring, summer and autumn, Li Zhi was quite familiar with Xie Yi and happily agreed.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, King of Jin!" Looking at Li Zhi who was waiting with his pen, Xie Yi said softly: "When will the bright moon come? I ask the blue sky with wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, and what year is this... People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this matter is difficult to be complete in ancient times. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away."

Xie Yi said softly: "The autumn moon is bright, I feel like I am so happy to write this long and short sentence."

On the other side, Li Zhi, the King of Jin, put down his pen, and an eunuch stepped forward to hold up the scroll and presented it to the emperor and his ministers. Li Shimin smiled but said nothing, Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, and several officials from the aristocratic family were full of surprise. After a moment, they praised: "Okay, Xie County is talented, and his artistic conception is the best tonight."

"Xie County, this is the only one? Is there any more?"

"I have recently planted crops and have a deep understanding of the suffering of farmer farming. I have a poem "Praise for Farmers"." Xie Yi said leisurely: "It's noon to hoe the crops, and sweat drips into the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard."
