Chapter 27 Fang Xuanling chooses the king(1/2)
Fang Xuanling sighed lightly in front of his wife and children.
This afternoon, he followed Xu Mu to read the construction plan of Wanmin City, and to be honest...
He didn't understand.
He was well-read in poetry and books, had a profound knowledge, and was involved in all kinds of knowledge, which means he knew a little about everything.
But I have never seen such a weird building.
There is also the first phase of the square and residential area project mentioned by Xu Mu.
He could probably understand the residential area, which should have been built for residents living in dilapidated wooden sheds outside the city.
But according to Xu Mu, there are two stairs and six households. Well, two stairs can reach the fourth floor, and there are six households on the first floor.
He has never heard of such a house design. The most important thing is that such a huge project actually says... it will be completed in one month!
"There is also cement. If it is true as the lord said, the future changes to the world are far beyond the comparison of honeycomb coal!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed.
Xu Mu said that the construction of a residential area in January was not empty talk. It is said that the Bairen Monument was also built day and night.
Fang Xuanling once asked the civil servants' chief executive based on this question, and got the exact answer.
"If it is compared with Li Yuan, who is dominating Taiyuan..." Surrounding the warmer, Fang Xuanling was thinking solemnly about the future and destiny of the family. Mrs. Fang was quite a virtuous wife and mother at this time, and she did not disturb her at all.
Just last year, Li Yuan became the remnant of Taiyuan, responsible for suppressing rebellions in various places, and took this opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses.
His desire to fight for dominance in the world is obvious.
Especially his son Li Shimin, he made friends with heroes and heroes everywhere, and his command recruited a group of powerful generals who dared to die.
In fact, he is quite optimistic about Li Yuan's power. First of all, he has a good roots.
Li Yuan inherited the title of Duke of Tang, and never blamed the people of Taiyuan for doing good deeds, and was quite wise.
And... at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a prophecy was circulated: by Li de Yang!
Even among the folk children, the nursery rhyme of "poplar flowers fall and plum flowers bloom" has been popular.
During the reign of Emperor Wen, the world had targeted a group of ministers surnamed Li, but the witty Li Yuan tried his best to reduce his presence and escaped a disaster.
As a scholar, Fang Xuanling is very sensitive to such prophecies.
Don’t you hear that... At the end of Qin, there were also chaotic times, and prophecies such as “the ancestor dragon died and the earth was divided” and “even if Chu was three households, if Qin was destroyed, Chu would be the one who would die” finally came true.
So in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Fang Xuanling's first thought was to defect to Li Yuan.
Who made his surname Li?
Secondly, Li Yuan attaches great importance to talented people and trusts strategists and powerful generals. If he goes, he will definitely do something with his own strategies.
The most important thing is that the world is about to be in chaos at the moment, and he speculated that Li Yuan had the intention of affair with Chang'an.
Li Yuan was born in Chang'an, and his aunt was Empress Dugu, and she was intricate in Chang'an.
At present, the eastern capital Luoyang is the focus of the world. Once Li Yuan takes action against Chang'an, Chang'an may fall into Li Yuan's hands without any effort.
From then on, Li Yuan occupied the capital, dominated Guanzhong, and ordered the world, and the general trend was decided!
So no matter how Fang Xuanling looks at it, he thinks that the future world belongs to the Li family.
Looking at the warm stove in front of him, Li Yuan and Xu Mu appeared on the left and right sides of Fang Xuanling's mind.
One is strong and ambitious, the other is hiding in the mountains, with only three thousand soldiers and ten thousand people, and they also want to get a share of the world.
If Xu Mu was an ordinary thief, he would not even consider the exam.
But in just two days, Xu Mu has shown many surprises.
First of all, Zhang Xutuo, this powerful general is amazing. Even though he is far away in Shandong, he has heard of this man's brave deeds.
The rebel forces that were wiped out by him were large and small, and more than twenty!
He is simply a thief nemesis.
In addition, strange buildings, strange cement, magical honeycomb coal...
He couldn't make a decision for a moment.
"Forget it, there are still two days left, so let's see it tomorrow."
It was already dark, and Fang Yizhi had already returned to the room to rest. Fang Xuanling shook his head and simply gave up this entangled problem.
Mrs. Fang looked at her husband and showed a rare gentleness at this time: "Xuanling, we, mother and son, support you in any decision you make."
Fang Xuanling held his wife's hand, and there seemed to be heat rising in his lungs, which was very touched.
"But today... you ignore it for a long time. The old rules are the same, you still sleep on the ground!"
But for a moment, Mrs. Fang snorted coldly and kicked Fang Xuanling to the ground.
...
The next day, Xu Mu took Fang Xuanling out of the city and went to the dilapidated wooden shed he had seen before outside the city.
Under Xu Mu's leadership, he first saw a mu of terraced fields reclaimed between the slopes, and a barrel truck that lifted water at one level in the terraced fields.
Some fields are in various ways, using the newly developed curved plows by the institute.
In winter, a large amount of food is dug out from some vegetable fields!
Under the introduction of the accompanying rural secretary Song Bin, he actually heard the exaggerated number of 31 stone per mu!
His little heart was so scared that he kept beating.
He lived in Fangzhuang since he was a child. His family has hundreds of acres of land and a large number of tenants. He knows that the per mu production capacity is one and a half stone, which is considered a bumper harvest.
"The yield per mu is 31 stone, is there any evidence?" Fang Xuanling's lips trembled slightly and he looked at Song Bin.
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true.
As soon as he said this, Song Bin was unhappy, and he snorted coldly: "You scholar, are more rude than the person named Yang a few days ago. Even if you are lying to you, what kind of person is your lord? How could you lie to you?"
Xu Mu looked quite strange when he heard this. He recalled that Song Bin had scolded Lao Yang a few days ago.
If he knew that he had scolded the emperor of the dynasty, His Majesty the Great Sui...
I'm afraid I'll be scared on the spot.
Thinking of this, Xu Mu couldn't help but shake his head, but it fell into Fang Xuanling's eyes, but it seemed that he was saying that this was not true.
"Forget it, today is a new batch of winter wheat harvest. I will take you to the experimental field next door to see." Although Song Bin's tone was stiff, he waved his hand and took Fang Xuanling to the winter wheat experimental field next to him.
"Old Zhao, today my lord invited another unsavvy scholar. You can take him to see him for a long time." Song Bin took Fang Xuanling to the test field not far away and said to the farmer secretary responsible for the test field.
Afterwards, Song Bin bowed and said goodbye to Xu Mu. His potato fields were going to open more mountain terraces this year. He is now in a lot of work and is very busy.
However, with the reward of one thousandth of Xu Mu promised, he was happy to accept it.
After all, life only has motivation when it comes to a future.
"Lord." The rural secretary named Lao Zhao first saluted Xu Mu respectfully, then looked at Fang Xuanling, pointed to the heavy winter wheat in front of him and said, "This is winter wheat. It's about to be harvested today. You can come and measure it yourself later."
Fang Xuanling's eyes were completely on the winter wheat in front of him, and he didn't even hear Secretary Agriculture's words.
The golden destruction, the falling heavily, and the harvest scene was a scene of a bumper harvest.
Seeing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.
Even though I saw cement yesterday, the old house did not have such a big reaction.
It seems that off-season crop varieties are still very lethal in this era.
If you have any scholars you like in the future, you can use the process of visiting Wanmin City to convince those scholars who are looking forward to it.
Later, Fang Xuanling personally measured the output of four and a half stones per mu!
Fang Xuanling was speechless. She seemed to have been stimulated on the way back, and was crazy.
...
That night.
Fang Xuanling and his family continued to chat around the fire.
This time, Mrs. Fang did not take any action against Fang Xuanling again because she found that something was wrong with Fang Xuanling's condition.
"Father? What's wrong with you?" Fang Yizhi shook Fang Xuanling, but he didn't see any reaction.
The mother and son looked at Fang Xuanling with such worry, and heard him keep saying "Four and a half stones" in his mouth.
"What did the lord take him to see? Can you still go tomorrow like this?" Mrs. Fang complained in a low voice.
"Go! Of course you have to go!"
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling stood up suddenly, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.
Then……
Mrs. Fang, who was frightened by him, reacted and kicked him immediately.
"Are you going to rebel? Is there any rules in this family?" Mrs. Fang also stood up, staring at Fang Xuanling with her hips.
Fang Xuanling was afraid in a flash and quickly apologized to his wife: "I saw wheat with a yield of four and a half stones acres today. I realized that there was such a strange thing in the world, so I was a little lost. Don't blame me, please don't blame me..."
To be continued...
