19. Becoming a father for the first time

But Ming Cunyi had a strong resistance. Gao Yue understood that he had a bad relationship with other Dangxiang Fanluo in Qingzhou, Liufu, Dongshan and Nanshan.

So Gao Yue carried forward the skills of the "Political Commissar of the Tang Dynasty" and said to Ming Cunyi with great sincerity: "You go to Qingzhou, Lingzhou, Xiazhou and other places to buy horses. Not only can you make contributions to the border army, I can also divide some of the war horses to your sister-green tribes to strengthen your strength. People who have hatred are people, so what's the matter with war horses? The war horses flow into the hands of other parties. If the other party grows stronger, you will become weak. When will the situation be reversed? In addition, you will pay 5,000 guan of money and goods to you as a deposit. When will the remaining half of the money be paid? You bring the camel horse merchant who received the deposit, and bring the purchased war horses back to the Wushi Post in Jingzhou, and I will clear the money in full."

Gao Yue’s idea was to let the camel and horse merchants in the northwest border first identify the Wushi Station in Fang Town, Jingyuan. After that, I set up a trading market here to attract Dangxiang tribes from all over the country to come here to market horses according to the fixed season, so that there is no need to buy the Uighur horses that are expensive and expensive. The same is true for using Dangxiang Qiang horses.

After much persuasion, Ming Cunyi finally agreed, but he also said that it was difficult to buy 10,000 guan of horses for 500 horses, each of which was twenty guan. Because the prices of horse markets in the entire northern region were abnormal by the Uighurs' every year to the Tang court. Even if the horses fell from Dangxiang Fan, they now cost 30,40 guan per horse.

"Okay, then you bring me three hundred horses back." Gao Yue thought about it and lowered the conditions.

Because opening up Dangxiang's war horse market is always much better than being controlled by the Uighurs.

After seeing off Ming Cunyi, Gao Yue returned to the central hall of the Gonggong Party and asked the chief clerk Liu De's room about the recent buckwheat harvest.

"It's quite considerable." After Liu Deshi said that, he handed the book to Gao Yue for the inventory.

"Well, with perfect ditch irrigation and water making methods, coupled with effective fertilization, the blooming and fruiting of buckwheat fields is fast and good. Now the whole winter is full of food reserves for the soldiers in the field."

In addition, Monk Mingxuan was also very capable, so he simply demolished the Alantu Temple, which was originally beside the Gechuan River, sent the excess wood and goods to the market in Jingzhou City to sell it, and earned 300,000 yuan. He also brought dozens of temple households to Baili New City and built a small temple.

However, with Gao Yue's approval, the new Alanda Temple was located at the lower reaches of the Daxi River and granted a large area of ​​fields (the land price in Yuanzhou is very cheap at this moment). Ming Xuan also specially made a water bottle and used the river water power to rummagate the new city and the Meiqing tribe to crush the valley every day. Finally, Gao Yue took out half of the 3,000 guan of money Xiao Yi had given to Ming Xuan, and asked him to buy excellent crop seeds, "He went to Shang and Jin Erzhou (now southern Shaanxi area) to buy Brassica."

The so-called Brassica is what later generations call rapeseed. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been mostly planted north of the Han River, but its purpose is - as Ming Xuan said in his doubts, "Are you going to grow vegetables and herbs in the temple?"

It turns out that there are three types of Brassica, namely cabbage type, mustard type and cabbage type. The cabbage type was introduced to China until very late. The Brassica commonly referred to as "similar to cabbage" in the Tang Dynasty was the first type. But Brassica was the same as cabbage at that time, and it was the "leaf vegetable", which means that people consume its leaves, but Brassica seeds were ignored and it was not clear that it could be used to squeeze oil. The most common oil-pressing crop at that time was sesame, not Brassica.

So Gao Yue told Mingxuan that Mingxuan was happy to be entrusted about the use of Brassica.

Recently, winter wheat has also begun to be sown and sprouted in the military camps of Baili New City.

Gao Yue was so happy inside. He used to be a famous official in the Jingyuan camp, but he was eventually angry with the minister of the Central Secretariat. The camp was abolished if he said it. Now he was entitled to the imperial court and was ordered by the emperor to protect him. In Yuanzhou, he was the biggest in this "one acre and three-point land" and did everything much smoother. The only thing he had to worry about was to straighten out the relationship with the outside world.

What made him even happier was that the letters were sent by a delivery shop in Shengpingfang, Beijing:

Yun Shaoan gave birth, Gao Yue became his father, and he was a chubby boy.

Gao Yue was sitting in front of the desk, and wrote the word "子" hard on a piece of hemp paper. According to Wei Gao's previous words, he named the child "子".

Next, Gao Yue raised the word "子" and showed it around him, and couldn't even hold back his smile.

The officials in the central hall of the government were all puzzled when they saw this word.

Liu Deshi said that today's observation has been completed and everyone can go home.

Just as Gao Yue had just put the paper in the seal and was about to hand it over to the famous officials to send it to Xincheng Post, someone came outside the door asking for a Lingtai Order, and the man had not yet entrusted the name to stab him.

"Who will come to me at this time?"

"Sheet Head!"

This title was something that Gao Yue had not seen for a long time. A young man in Mai was walking forward and bowed to him.

"It's first, it's first!" Gao Yue and Liu Deshi were very happy and hurriedly grabbed Liu Pi's sleeve. The three of them met again, and they were so excited that they couldn't speak.

Kaixian was the old name of Liu Pi (named Taichu). After swallowing Chang'an relics and extorting 200 stagnant coins of Ximing Temple, he changed his name to seclusion at the Famen Temple in Fengxiang to continue his studies. After learning that Gao Yue was appointed as the Lingtai Order of Yuanzhou, he hurried to see him.

"It's easy to say." Gao Yue immediately agreed to give Liu Pi's twenty-six-can-run family money and let him stay in the new city for a while. "I will write you an explanation immediately. The family story. I will give you twenty-six-six-can-yuan money in ten days. You will take my letter to Chang'an on the way and hand over the letter to my mother-in-law. From then on, the Taofenpan in the capital will be handed over to Taichu for your care."

"What about Weichang?" Liu Pi asked, now it should be Li Jie (named Weichang) in the head of the shed.

Now Taofen's collection of "shelf warehouse money" is enough to control himself. After all, he has become famous in the past two or three years.

"You and Weichang are in charge. Whoever is going to pass the election first, or who passes the Ministry of Personnel's subject selection first, then I will do my best to help you." Because even if Gao Yue wants to make Li Jie or Liu Pizheng his assistant, he still needs them to be prosecuted first.

There were no taverns and food shops in Baili City, so Gao Yue was in his own residence after the public hall, and invited Liu Deshi and Liu Pi.

All dishes are organized by Shuangwen and Zhihui.

In fact, it is also very simple and simple. It mainly includes buckwheat noodles, eaten with mutton and chicken.

When Zhihui came out with a food plate, Liu Pi hurriedly saluted her, and Zhihui was also surprised to reply to the gift.

It turned out that when Liu Pi saw that Zhihui was wearing an ordinary skirt, an ivory comb and a hairpin (this was given to her by the mistress), he thought she was already a concubine in the shed.

After knowing that it was a misunderstanding, although he didn't say anything to Liu Pi Mingyan (Liu Deshi and Shuangwen didn't say anything), the owner Gao Yue was a little embarrassed. Zhihui lowered her head and put the food plate on her chest, and hurriedly turned into the screen without saying a word.

After the banquet, Gao Yue continued to check the old document book under the lights: He hoped to find the traces of Cai Fonu's father, whether they were dead or alive, where was now? Helong, Ganzhou, Shazhou, or the more distant Xizhou, were the people in the Tang family, or had they disappeared into Xifan?
