My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty Chapter 431

Li Yan took a look at the small courtyard of Wei Tieniu's house. The courtyard of his house was basically the same as the courtyards of other Yangshu villages. It seemed that they had been planned as a whole, but in this way, the whole Yangshu village seemed to be patchwork.

Following the fence gate, Li Yin turned to the court officials behind him and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Shangguanyi and Guan Sixing smiled, this Wei Tieniu could be regarded as their old acquaintance, when they met at this time, it also felt like an old friend reunion.

After Li Yin and his group entered the courtyard, Wei Tieniu said to the five children who were already dumbfounded: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to the emperor."

Wei Tieniu's eldest son came to his senses at this moment, pulled his younger brother and sister to salute Li Yin, and shouted: See the emperor.

Li Yan smiled and exempted five children. He didn't expect Wei Tieniu's family to have so many children. It seems that his policy of asking Tang people to have more children is still very useful.

Wei Tieniu let him into the living room, and Li Yin and others sat on the sofa. Wei Tieniu's house now has no TV, computer and other electrical appliances. The other modern electrical appliances are basically complete. The real ones are upstairs and downstairs. Electric lights, telephones, refrigerators, air conditioners and the like are all available.

"Your Majesty, the living conditions in Yangshu Village are really good. Thanks to Yizhou, it may take a long time for Chang'an to catch up with here." Changsun Wuji looked at Wei Tieniu's living room and said to Li Yin.

Shangguanyi heard the words and said: "Elder Changsunge doesn't know something. This Yangshu Village is the first agricultural pilot in Yizhou. It is normal for the living conditions to reach this level."

At this moment, Wei Tieniu brought over a plate of glass teacups and wanted to pour tea for everyone, but Li Yin stopped him and said, "Tie Niu, don't worry about your work. We will leave after a while, you sit down."

"Hey." Li Yin said so, Wei Tieniu put down the teapot in his hand, and sat down opposite Li Yin, and the five children also sat awkwardly beside their father.

Li Yan asked with a smile: "These five are your children?"

"Return to the emperor. These are my children. The emperor said that we should have more children and raise more children. Our Yangshu Village will have more children and more children. Now basically every family in the village has at least three children." Wei Tieniu said with a silly smile.

"Hahaha..." The officials were amused by Wei Tieniu's naivety, and they all laughed in good faith.

Li Yin continued to ask: "Yangshu Village used to grow potatoes, but now what do they do for a living?"

"We have all contracted large farms. We have purchased agricultural machinery, but now we can grow more things. People in the village also partnered to build a food processing factory. Over the past year, our village has many The income has been collected. Then it will be distributed to all households, and now not only is there no tax for growing food, but also subsidies, and all the profits are pure profits.”

Li Yin nodded. Although Datang's commercial development is very fast now, and many farmers give up their land and choose to work in factories, agriculture is always the foundation of a country. The reason why he asked about this is to understand. Under the circumstances of the commercial society, how did the agriculture of Datang develop? Now the large farm that Wei Tieniu talked about is exactly the agricultural model that Li Yin has been advocating. Agricultural production under mechanization can meet society's demand for food.

"Well, not bad." Li Min was very satisfied with the model of Yangshu Village, and then he asked about the living conditions of some local people. Wei Tieniu answered them one by one. Basically, the policies issued by the imperial court are being implemented here, including the administrative policies just implemented. Now Yizhou has also begun to handle it. In this regard, Yizhou will always be at the forefront of Datang. This is what Yizhou officials are proud of.

After sitting for a while, we chatted for a while. Li Yin didn't intend to delay any longer. After all, there were still many places to go. He said, "Tie Niu, you are an old man in Yizhou. I hope you can manage this Yangshu Village better in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Tieniu knew that Li Yin would not stay here for a long time. After all, Li Yin was in charge of the affairs of the entire Tang Empire, and being able to chat with him for so long was enough for him to boast for half a year.

Patted Wei Tieniu on the shoulder, Li Yin and his party left Wei Tieniu's house and drove away in a car, leaving only the Wei family father and son who were still in place, "Father, you are really awesome."

Wei Tieniu looked at the convoy going away and felt nostalgic in his heart. When he heard the elder son's words, he immediately raised his head, "Little brat, now you know what I'm capable of."…

The convoy left Yangshu Village slowly, and arrived in Yizhou City in half an hour. In five years, the city of Yizhou has expanded a circle, and the former outer city has become an inner city. All kinds of tall and magnificent buildings can be seen everywhere. It's not that the people here are still wearing Tang costumes, Li Yin thought he had arrived in a modern city.

Now that he arrived in Yizhou, Li Yin was going to visit Li Shimin, so the motorcade detoured to the former palace, now the Supreme Emperor's Palace. Halfway, Li Yin received a call from Si Zi, asking where Li Yin was. She came to greet her, so Li Yin had no choice but to tell her that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had both come to Yizhou, and Sizi naturally followed, and without Li Yin's restraint in Yizhou, this little girl seemed to have broken free from the rein Little Mustang, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun doted on her very much, basically leaving her alone, making her feel like a fish in water in Yizhou.

The convoy stopped at the gate of the palace, Li Yin and Changsun Wuji got out of the car, the other officials all went to the guest house, there was no need for them to come.

"Son, see the emperor, see uncle!" As soon as he got out of the car, a pleasant voice came over, Li Yin looked in the direction of the voice, and in front of him was a beautiful girl with red lips and white teeth, with a playful look on her face , who is not Sizi?

Li Yin was full of smiles. Among the many princesses, apart from Qinghe, Sizi had the best relationship with him. After all, they had been together for a long time. He walked over and pinched Sizi's little nose habitually, and said, "You When did this girl become so obedient, and she even knew to come to pick me up."

Xi Zi opened Li Yin's hand, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Emperor, Si Zi is no longer a child, why is he still pinching his nose, it makes people feel so embarrassing."

Li Yin and Changsun Wuji laughed loudly when they heard the words, Li Yin said: "You are thirty years old, and you are still my sister's son."

Xizi gave Li Yin a blank look when he heard the words, and said, "I would have known better, I wouldn't have come out, hum." After finishing speaking, he went into the palace angrily.

Changsun Wuji shook his head, and now in the entire Tang Dynasty, only this spoiled princess dared to talk to Li Yin like that.

Li Yin didn't take it seriously, and followed his son into the palace. The government affairs belong to the government affairs, and the family belongs to the family. It is enough to show the emperor's airs in front of outsiders. There is no need to show it in front of the family. Li Yin still divides it very clear.

Li Yin is familiar with this former palace and can't be more familiar with it. He can find Li Shimin's bedroom even with his eyes closed. Since moving here, Li Shimin has streamlined his staff and dismissed some young palace ladies, leaving only some of them. There is still no need for him to keep so many palace servants.

Therefore, walking in the palace, Li Yin didn't feel the excitement of the Taiji Palace before, but it seemed a little quiet.

Following his son, Li Yin saw Li Shimin who had just finished playing basketball in the recreation room, "Father." Li Yin saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin wiped his sweat and said, "Didn't you say you'll be there at noon? I thought you changed the time?"

"The emperor stayed for a while when he was in Yangshu Village." Changsun Wuji explained at this time.

Li Yin nodded following the words.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Well, so that's the case, Sizi, this girl is still thinking that you might have canceled your coming to Yizhou temporarily." Then he seemed to think of something, and said: "It's already noon, so I'm eating in the palace Well, I have thoroughly researched the delicacies and wines of the Tang Dynasty over the years, and I will let you taste them at noon."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am very lucky to be invited by the Supreme Emperor."

As soon as Li Shimin said, Li Yin felt a little hungry. In addition to practicing Taoism in Yizhou these years, Li Shimin studied food and wine, and lived a happy life. Li Yin also wanted to see what he heard. (to be continued)
