Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 199
Dai Ting asked people to shrink the arrangements in Champa and plan to start returning after all the rice seeds have been put in the warehouse. Only a few people will be left here as nails. If the trial planting of these rice seeds is unsuccessful, they will have to come over in the coming year.
This time, Dai Ting didn’t look for trouble, but things still came to his door.
Recently, Champa is also not stable. The king of Champa was killed the year before, and the people of the country supported the king’s son as the throne, but they clashed with the minister in charge of power. The minister did not hesitate to abolish the king’s son and uphold the king’s daughter as the king.
The queen failed to stabilize the situation, and Champa has been in a mess since King Touli’s death. Because of the chaos everywhere, Dai Ting, an outsider who has circled a plot of land, can farm with peace of mind, and it is difficult not to be noticed.
No one else has had a birthday, so why should you eat and drink, and sleep soundly at night? In the past year, there were not many people who came over and in secret to make trouble, and Dai Ting easily blocked them. It didn’t affect his serious record of the growth cycle, variety characteristics, and expected output of Champo rice seeds.
While Dai Ting was preparing to evacuate, a group of special visitors came quietly under the cover of night. This group of visitors are all women, and it seems that there is no threat at all. In fact, most of them are well-trained female guards, and their skills are not bad.
Dai Ting originally didn’t want to be extravagant, but the person in the lead sent a seal to come in, expressing full sincerity.
That is the seal of King Champa.
Dai Ting thought that most of the rice seeds had already been put in the warehouse, and that anything really wouldn’t have much influence on the purpose of their trip, so he welcomed these guests in. The leading woman wore an all-black curtain, and even her body was hidden under the curtain. Dai Ting was not curious about their looks, and invited them to sit down and calmly ask them where they came from.
Dai Ting didn’t wear a mask again this time. His face was white, flawless and beautiful, but there was a bright red birthmark on the other. But the birthmark didn’t affect his beauty. On the contrary, he looked like God. I love him very much and add a gorgeous flower to his white jade face.
People who came here didn’t expect this group of people who could call the shots was actually such a person. He is too young and looks…too beautiful, not as beautiful as what the human world should have. Maybe the Buddha will have such a face when he is in the world and transformed into a human being, right? After a brief loss of consciousness, the leading woman took down the curtain and bowed earnestly to Dai Ting: “Please help me.”
Dai Ting looked at the woman who was lying on the ground.
There is no need to ask more, he also guessed the identity of this woman. The ships they came this time were not too few for the caravan, and they brought a group of elite people, so they could circle a place of comfort. In today’s turbulent Champa, they are indeed too conspicuous, so after batches of people have no results on them, batches of homeless and unimaginable people also approached them and begged them for help. shelter.
These things are not uncommon, and Dai Ting is familiar with them. He has seen it in Gaochang, in Tubo, in Gaoli, and in Wa.
As long as there is war, as long as there is struggle, the people will suffer first, and they will also help if they can help without affecting what to do. After all, gathering some people is not harmful to them, and it will discourage those who want to trouble them.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Champa would find it herself.
It seems that the Champa ministers have found a more suitable puppet and a new king that can stabilize the hearts of the people. This queen is about to lose its use value.
The relationship between the emperor and the minister, and the emperor and the people seems to be strong. In fact, in the long history of history, the throne is always changing and the royal power is always circulating. Yesterday, the world may be surnamed Yang, and today the world may be surnamed Li. In the face of life and death, dignity seems to be less important, and it is not a big deal to ask an outsider for help, after all, this is a visitor from the heavenly kingdom.
Dai Ting’s face was calm, without the slightest movement.
Whether people in this world are beautiful or ugly, whether they are noble or low, has nothing to do with him. He has no extra sympathy and compassion for strangers. If they can come up with enough benefits, he may be willing to hear what kind of help they need.
After a brief conversation, Queen Champa also understood this. The person in front of him is not short of money and does not want to make a marquise in Champa. People really come here to enclose a plot of land and plant a field for one year. It is those people who have to ask them to trouble them before they fight back.
As for beauty, it is not that the Champa Queen is not confident enough, but that Dai Ting sits there, and everyone present feels embarrassed. Will such a person be tempted by beauty? Thinking about it, I think it’s impossible. I really want to give him a beauty, I’m afraid it might be a suspicion of taking advantage of him!
The Queen Champa put forward her own way of repaying according to Dai Ting’s needs: if they can help her to secure the throne, she will mobilize all those who can mobilize to cultivate well, help Datang to select and breed, and if there are good rice seeds, they will be presented as soon as possible. To Datang. Their Champa has a good climate and rich produce, and the rice can even be cooked three times a year! Not only can they offer Champa’s crop varieties, they can also help Datang try to plant varieties from surrounding countries.
After hearing this, Dai Ting was finally moved.
He paused, and began to correct the retribution object of Queen Champa: “To His Royal Highness King Teng.”
To Li Yuanying and Datang is different.
All this must first be dedicated to Li Yuanying. Regardless of whether Li Yuanying wants it or not, they will strive for as much as possible for Li Yuanying. He wants to let the people all over the world know that it is Li Yuanying who has found these rice seeds for them, and it is also Li Yuanying who thinks about them everywhere.
Li Yuanying only wanted to be a vassal king happily, and never thought of anything else, but his life was chic and wanton, and it was inevitable that people would be jealous.
What Dai Ting wanted was to make Li Yuanying an existence that even the emperor would not dare to move him easily.
Even if many things Li Yuanying would also give to the court, it is still different after passing through Li Yuanying’s hand and not passing through Li Yuanying’s hand.
He is not loyal to the court, nor to the emperor, he is only loyal to Li Yuanying.
For Queen Champa, there is not much difference between offering things to the Tang court and the Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty, but secretly surprised by the ability of the King Teng. What kind of person can make an existence like Dai Ting be so loyal to him? With Dai Ting’s skills, he can even lead people to directly occupy Champa and set land as the king!
Champa was once the county seat of the Han Dynasty. Later, the locals killed the county magistrate and became king. Champa is in chaos now, if someone who can calm the chaos comes out, it is not uncommon to be appointed as the new Champa king. But the man in front of him didn’t have any interest in it. He just wanted to take the Champa rice seed back with him as planned.
Curious to curiosity, Queen Champa didn’t ask too much, fearing that it would change if she asked too much.
After making an agreement with Dai Ting, she left as silently as when she came.
Dai Ting didn’t want to miss Li Yuanying’s marriage, and adopted the method of slashing the mess with a quick knife. The action was quick and ruthless, and directly gave up all the forces that refused to obey the Champa Queen.
Many people only realized it at this time. It turned out that it was not a gentle, grass-grabbing little sheep who occupies here, but a deadly poisonous snake! But this venomous snake is quite popular, and the group of refugees who are farming for him dropped their hoes, took up knives and guns, and said they would retake their homes!
When did these lowly untouchables dare to resist? !
The dignitaries of Champa were angry and sent soldiers to kill these untouchables who dared to resist. The blood of their companions dyed the eyes of the “untouchables”. They farmed and lived in peace, why should they be taken away from everything, and why they should be taken away from their lives. Not as good to pigs and dogs!
Following the sudden **** riots of the people, the nobles and officials were almost killed in a few days, and the original magnificent mansion was stained with blood overnight.
All the glory and wealth, power and interests, have turned into a cloud of smoke with death.
At this time, the queen personally boarded the tower in a red dress and issued an edict to the people that she would follow the example of the Tang Dynasty to implement the land equalization system and distribute land to every people so that every people can have land to cultivate and a home to recuperate.
The remaining officials and nobles are all supporters of the Queen. Seeing that those who have different intentions are dying, it is inevitable that they are a little more in awe of the Queen. They all cooperated with the Queen’s arrangements and actively promoted the Queen’s benevolence.
As for the division of land, if there are so many officials and nobles who have died, it is good to divide all their land, and there is no need to assign them to them. There is no need to hesitate. At the moment, it is most important to stabilize the situation first!
Dai Ting didn’t mix these things anymore, only a part of them stayed at Champa’s side to guard the manor, and they returned north with their rice seeds.
When we first boarded the ship, the weather was still hot. As we headed north, the weather at sea gradually got worse. After the winter, there were occasional wind and snow obstructing the road, and there were ships on the rocks and damaged on the road. Fortunately, they had too many ships to rescue people and food on other ships in time, which was barely considered safe.
After walking along the vast sea for several months, stopping and stopping, the fleet of ships that went to sea finally returned safely. There were a lot of boats coming and going in the port, and there were many people on the pier. It was heard that everyone was looking forward to the return of the fleet from Prince Teng’s Mansion, and wanted to see if they were loaded with gold, silver and jewellery again this time.
To their disappointment, what was carried down from the ship this time was plain linen bags, which looked like plain food. Looking at the shape and weight, it seemed that it was indeed food and not the rare treasures they had imagined.
It was only after the last boat that I barely looked at it. The first thing that came down were two colorful parrots. They looked exactly the same. When they got off the boat, they opened their mouths: “Big!” “It’s really big!” “It’s so big!” “The guys who came to carry the goods are strange and proud. Of course their harbor is big. I heard people say that the harbor in the south is not as styled as they are!
Except for these talking birds, the rest are treasures in sandalwood boxes. No one knows exactly what they are, but just by looking at the boxes, you know that the contents are valuable.
This time, Dai Ting did not say the return date, and Li Yuanying did not arrive at the port to pick up people. Dai Ting organized his own personnel to transport the things to Tengzhou. Along the way, the carts of grain they brought back attracted countless curious eyes: Has Tengzhou started hoarding grain from the sea? Is the rice shipped from the sea more delicious?
Li Yuanying didn’t know that the fleet had returned until Dai Ting was about to return to Tengzhou. It was not the first month of the year, and the weather was a bit cold. By coincidence, there was no need to go out on New Year’s Day. Li Yuanying was lying by the fire to listen to people telling stories. After receiving the news, she stopped listening to the stories, and led people to pick up Dai Ting and his party.
When the two sides meet, they can’t help but talk with warm wine. Dai Ting told Li Yuanying about the changes on Champa’s side. This time he was really low-key and didn’t plan to make any big moves. However, since the Queen Champa said that they would be a breeding base for them, they seemed to have no reason not to agree.
Li Yuanying has never been so far, and I don’t know what the climate is like in Champa. Hearing Dai Ting said that Champa’s rice can sometimes be grown three times a year, and some rice varieties are very drought-tolerant and require very low water and soil requirements. He felt that Dai Ting did it too right. Isn’t this an ideal breeding base? ?
Since the Queen Champa is willing to mobilize the people to help them with breeding work, and is also willing to help them collect crop varieties from neighboring countries, it is worth the trouble!
Li Yuanying said: “Really the world is so extraordinary. Who can imagine that you can plant three rounds of rice a year?” He now has some experience in planting.
Dai Ting nodded.
In any case, finding good grain is a good thing. Li Yuanying told Huang Ying to go down and let everyone steam a bowl of the rice that Champa brought back to everyone. When the business was over, Li Yuanying said enthusiastically: “My wedding dress is ready to be tried on. You will also help me with Luo Binwang and the others to help me see if it fits!”
The author has something to say:
Dai Ting: Although I was very low-key this time, I still accidentally participated in other countries’ internal affairs. This has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to do anything.
Countdown to the little prince’s marriage!
