The uprising is incendiary, and when someone takes the lead, more and more people will participate in it. Whether it is to survive or to take a breath, these people who do not have a way to live are holding up the banner in the end.

The insurgents first occupied the county government, copied the homes of a cadre of officials in Kangyong County, then robbed many rich and unbenevolent rich households, and grew rapidly by copying grain and silver taels. These insurgents were not stupid, they did not burn and loot everywhere, and those well-known rich tenants did not move and played the banner of "robbing the rich to help the poor" to form the "Bai Ding Army." For a time, it gained a lot of support, with great fanfare.

In a short period of time, many refugees defected and gathered nearly 10,000 people. Based on the original Kangyong County, it gradually expanded to Surabaya, and even in the neighboring state, many people came with their families.

After hearing the news, Suzhou Guard General Shen Tu Xu immediately sent troops to suppress it, but many officers and soldiers in the Suzhou army were Suzhou locals, and many fellow villagers joined the Rebellion. In addition, the number of insurgents was so powerful that Shen Tu Xu did not dare to act rashly, so it came to a stalemate. Instead, he handed over the discount to Jing Jing.

Emperor Anqing was naturally enraged when he saw the news.

These days he is in very good spirits, and the newly found Liao Daochang gossips for him that he may have a disaster this year. If he wants to solve it, he needs to find someone close to him to prevent the disaster and build another 99 pagodas to pray for blessings, so that he can successfully avoid this calamity. After that, he can enjoy a long life, or you can hear the fairy way.

Emperor Anqing now believes deeply in Liao Daochang. Over the years, he has become more and more afraid of death. Since he dared not risk his life, he used the excuse of praying for Dazu, but actually ordered the construction of 99 pagodas for himself.

He asked for money and people to build the pagoda, and the treasury was empty, so he asked the Taifu Temple to levy taxes on the grounds of the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Now the popular uprising in Suzhou has made him more convinced of what Liao Daochang said-this may be his doom.

Although there was a way to crack it, Anqing was still very scared and hurriedly summoned Liao Daochang after the next dynasty. A few days ago, Liao Daochang only said that he would build a tower, but he never counted the close people who would protect him from disasters.

Liao Daochang is an octogenarian who was once respected by the people for his longevity. Although the hair is white, the eyes are shining, and there is no trace of aging during the walk. On the contrary, there is a sense of being out of touch with the vulgarity.

When he saw Emperor Anqing, he first bowed, and without waiting for Emperor Anqing to ask questions, he said, "your Majesty, do not worry, the poor way has been counted as the eight characters of the three princes." The third prince's life is precious, closest to his Majesty, and is the most suitable person to prevent disasters. "

Anqing Emperor was first delighted, and then hesitated: "this disaster prevention, will it damage my son?"

Liao Daochang shook his head and said, "your Majesty rest assured that the third prince is wearing a dragon spirit, although it will be slightly damaged to prevent disasters, but if you have more self-cultivation, it will be all right." I heard that the third prince has always been close to his Majesty, and he is willing to fulfill his filial piety for his Majesty. "

Anqing Emperor nodded and thought of what he had just said: "Life is precious with dragon spirit." he hesitated: "what does the Taoist just say that he is wearing dragon spirit?"

Seeing him take the bait, Liao Dao smiled, but shook his head proudly: "the secret must not be revealed." It is inconvenient to say more about the poor. "

The more he said this, the more Anqing Emperor was sure of his guess. After thinking about it, he said, "pass on the third prince."

A moment later, the third Prince Xiao Qile arrived. When he saw that Emperor Anqing saluted first, his still immature face was full of admiration: "I have seen the Emperor of my father."

Emperor Anqing looked at him. Of the three sons, the third looked the most like him when he was young. In addition, the imperial concubine Shu Guifei has won his heart over the years, and she even dotes on this son most. He used to be childish when he was young, and often mischievously made him laugh. In the past year or two, however, it has become more and more calm.

He also remembered what Shu Guifei had said before: when the old three-year period came, it was time to discuss relatives and prepare to go out of the palace.

Having a plan in mind, Emperor Anqing glanced at Liao Daochang. Liao Daochang stepped forward and told him the whole story slowly. He also specially talked about the possible damage in preventing disasters.

After listening to the third prince, he directly touched the bottom with his head, and his voice vibrated: "the minister is willing to share the worries for his father."

"good." Emperor Anqing personally came forward and picked him up with a smile on his face and said, "although you are filial, you can't be asked to protect me from disaster in vain. What reward do you want?"

The third prince stood up and said in a sonorous tone: "it is lucky for my father and minister to relieve the disaster and worry for the father and the emperor, and he does not dare to ask for it."

The more he didn't want it, the more Anqing Emperor wanted to give it to him.

The third prince pretended to refuse, and finally hesitated and said, "I do have an idea.". "

Emperor Anqing was in a good mood, so he nodded: "go ahead."

"my minister has always admired the second elder brother's ability to lead the army in battle, but this time I heard that there was civil unrest in Suzhou, and he also wanted to share the worries for his father and emperor and lead the troops to calm the chaos!"

Emperor Anqing hesitated slightly: "there are a large number of people in these civil unrest, but it is not a small fuss."

The third prince straightened his back and said proudly, "the minister has thought of a way to deal with it."

"Oh?" Emperor Anqing was interested: "how to deal with it, tell me."

The third prince told him.

"in the final analysis, these mobs are just a mob. If we really want to fight, we will certainly not be able to beat our army. " The third prince first flattered him, and when he saw that Emperor Anqing looked happy, he continued: "but if there is a real war, labor will hurt money." The son and minister came up with a bloodless way. "

". The group of traitors are entrenched in the area of Surabaya. I have seen the topographic map, which happens to be in the lower reaches of Surabaya. The upper reaches of Surabaya is in Yuzhou. The son and minister thought that we could first send someone to peace talks to pacify, and then take advantage of these thugs to lower their vigilance, put poison in the upper reaches of the river. These rioters encamped near Surabaya and must fetch water every day. In this way, they will be poisoned. Then we'll take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to attack. Isn't it like chopping melons and cutting vegetables without effort? "

He was only fifteen years old, but his face did not change when he talked about poisoning the river. Liao Daochang has been listening, although he is Shu Guifei's person, but also can not help but shudder at this time.

Emperor Anqing meditated for a long time, stroking his hands and said with a smile: "soldiers are not tired of deceit, this is also a good idea." Then I'll leave it to you. "

The third prince gave a hand: "Yes, the son and minister will live up to the trust of his father!"

This secret conversation is known to the three people in the temple. The next day, Emperor Anqing ordered that the pagodas in other places should be built quickly and must be completed before this winter. Another third prince was sent to Suzhou to quell the chaos, Yuzhou Shu stopped, and Suzhou Shentu Xu, all at the disposal of the third prince.

Above the court, the prince exchanged eyes and looked uncertain. The third prince and one party praised his Majesty Shengming. Only a few people, such as Shentu Kui and Ji Anmin, showed concern and did not know what the plan was for Anqing Emperor to send the third prince.

Several days had passed when the news of Mianjing reached Yanzhou.

At that time, Xiao Zhige was patrolling the fields with an Changqing. After the last conversation with Qi Wei, Qi Wei went back and summoned the old farmers in the city to brainstorm to find crops that were more suitable for the climate of Yanzhou.

These old farmers have been dealing with crops for years, and they are much more proficient in climate and crops than the generals who lead the war. When we all got together for discussion, we did come up with something.

The cause was that during a discussion, an old farmer hesitated to say that his eldest son had brought back a crop called "sweet potato" from Yuze. This crop can be seen everywhere in Yuze. It is sold very cheaply, big and well-fed. Because I didn't make any money in business, I simply bought a few cartons of this sweet potato and brought it back to Suzhou. In the previous war, his family donated all their food to the officers and soldiers, and it was only by relying on these sweet potatoes that they survived.

Upon hearing this, Qi Wei was interested and asked the old farmer to bring his son over to talk about the sweet potato.

Xiao Zhige and an Changqing, who heard the news, also went to hear it. It turned out that because his family was really poor, the eldest son of the old farmer had been buying and selling goods everywhere to earn a little money. Because a companion said that Yuze was rich in products, if he could get back a batch to sell in Dazu and make a lot of money, he was moved, and a group of young people set out from Suzhou and secretly crossed the border to Yuze.

But only to find that the business is not so easy to do, a group of people tossed about for a lot of days, did not earn any money, but spent a lot of money on the road fare. In the end, he stopped and returned to Dazhou. The son of the old farmer was not reconciled to being empty-handed, thinking that the sweet potato was cheap anyway, and it was not bad to earn money to get something to eat, so he pulled a cart of sweet potatoes back.

The son of the old farmer said that the sweet potato is everywhere in Yuze Manshan. It is said that it is very easy to grow and can be eaten raw and cooked. He also brought two specially.

Qi Wei and others all looked at it in a strange way, listened to it and ate it raw, and cut a taste on the spot. Taste like kudzu, taste like water chestnut.

An Changqing also tasted a piece, took the remaining sweet potato and looked at it carefully for a long time, then said, "I once read the record of sweet potato in a Luzon travel book." It says that sweet potato is as big as fist, its skin is scarlet, its heart is crisp and juicy, it can be eaten raw and cooked, it is widely barren-tolerant, and its yield is high, ten stones per mu, 20 times as much as grain. "

In his last life, he had nothing to do in his secluded mansion, and his greatest hobby was reading and smelting jade. At that time, read a lot of travel notes and miscellaneous studies. only marveled at the vastness of the world, but never thought that one day would really run into what was said in the book.

Xiao Zhige suddenly recognized his voice: "A wide variety of barren, dozens of stones per mu?" Is it possible to grow in Yanchou? "

All the generals looked at each other, and their eyes shone brightly.

After that, Xiao Zhige traded grain for the sweet potatoes left in the old farmer's family, while an Changqing found the travel book based on the memory of the previous life. according to the records in the travels, combined with the dictation of the son of the old farmer, he drafted a method of planting.

Now that potato cubes have begun to sprout, an Changqing is not relieved to visit the field with Xiao Zhige every day.

Because the weather is already hot and the fields pass thinly, these potato pieces sprout quickly and more, and green buds have grown in just a few days. When an Changqing visited, there were officers and soldiers who were good at farming and carefully worked on fertilizing in the fields.

According to the book, the sweet potato was originally planted best in mid-April, but they found it a little late. Now that it is May, they can only apply more fertilizer and hope it will grow quickly.

"if it is really planted, the people will not have to worry about their food in the future. Military rations have also been settled. " An Changqing's eyes flashed.

Xiao Zhige looked at this small acre of land, even though he had always been calm, he could not help smiling. The land in Yanzhou is barren, and the crop yield is not high all the time. If this sweet potato is really high-yielding in the book, then Yanzhou will have enough strength to cope with the future.

"Yes, this is a blessing of Yanzhou. If possible, it can also be promoted to other states and counties in the future, so that people in Dazhou have food to eat. "

An Changqing looked at him sideways, and Xiao Zhige's face was full of pride. He never seemed to want to hide it, and the first thing that came to his mind was the food and clothing of the people.

"well. When I get back, I'll turn over the books I've read before, and maybe I'll find something new. " An Changqing said.

He used to read those books as a way of relieving boredom, but now he suddenly finds that what is in these books can be put into practice and improve people's livelihood.

Xiao Zhige did not refuse, but only said, "Thank you for your hard work."

An Changqing smiled and dragged him to the ridges and checked the seedlings one by one.

When the two men finished patrolling the fields, they happened to send a letter in the city, saying that they had sent a letter to Beijing. The two men rode back to the city.

An Changqing went to the barracks with him, and Xiao Zhige, the military affairs of Yanzhou, never kept it from him, and he naturally saw the letter from Yun Jing now. When he saw the third prince leading troops to Si level chaos, something passed in his mind, but he failed to catch it. Stared at Surabaya on the letter and frowned.

Xiao Zhige's expression is not very good, although it has been expected that Anqing Emperor will send troops to suppress, but did not expect that he will not stay. In the final analysis, this group of "Bai Ding Army" were also ordinary people, but they were forced to rise up because they had no way to live. If the court could send someone to pacify it, there might be no need to fight at all.

With the move of Emperor Anqing, the area of Surabaya in Suzhou is bound to flow into a river of blood.

After burning the secret letter with a sigh, an Changqing frowned, thinking that he was worried about the war. Xiao Zhige rubbed his hair, but came to comfort him: "it's no use worrying now, it's better to take care of Yanzhou first."

An Changqing's train of thought was interrupted by him, so he had no choice but to nod his head. He went to look for a book and waited for Xiao Zhige to deal with military affairs before he went back to his home together.

Anfu in the house asked the kitchen to prepare dinner, and when he saw them coming back, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare the meal.

After dinner, the two men slipped around the courtyard for a few times to eat, and it was not long before it got dark. An Changqing took off her coat and changed into soft-soled shoes, ready to go to the bath room to wash. The ear room next to it has now been changed into a special bath room, which is connected with the main house and separated by a screen.

Xiao Zhige watched on the side, coughed and said, "Tonight, I won't go to the study, will I?"

After the first return, Xiao Zhige ate the marrow and knew the taste, and believed what was said in the script, pestering an Changqing to be turned over the red waves every night. For this, Anchang Qing was annoyed for several times and drove him to his study to sleep. Well, he beat people up again the day before yesterday and was forced to sleep in the study all night.

Anyway, can't sleep tonight.

The king of the Northern War, brazenly, took off his clothes and riding boots, and sat on the bed in a Chinese suit, with a heavy face, but with an air of hooliganism.

An Changqing glanced at him, but said nothing and went to the bath room to wash herself.

When he comes back from the wash, he will change to Xiao Zhige. An Changqing rolled into the bed and pretended to sleep with a quilt.

When Xiao Zhige came back from the bath room, he saw him with his back to him, and he did not know whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep, but obviously he did not intend to drive him to the study again, so he breathed a sigh of relief, went to bed and covered the thin quilt, and tentatively stretched out his arm and hugged the person into his arms.

Have a good night's sleep.

The author has something to say: if you sleep in bed today, you can do it tomorrow.

Here: no.

Countenance:. Ohh.
