Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 235 Dispatching the Tang Envoy

Before the popularization of dry-raised and sparse planting techniques, rice was directly planted in the ground, and it could be sown in a large number or in drills. In the Tang Dynasty, where fertilizer and water management and seed selection and breeding technology were almost zero, the output was pitifully small.

Moreover, the sowing method of "big planting" or "drilling and scattering" results in uneven seedlings and difficult removal of weeds.

Modern rice is all planted with dry breeding, that is, transplanting seedlings, which is to prolong the growth time and obtain higher yields.

Where did the people of the Tang Dynasty see this?
Seeing the farmer's servants in Fangjiawan pick out the palm-high rice seedlings out of the warm shed, and transplant them row by row in the paddy field, the steward of the nearby Changsun's fiefdom curiously brought two servants to watch, and after a while At that time, the second son of the Changsun family, Sun Huan, also came, riding a tall horse.

Changsun Huan was wearing a blue and low flowered silk shirt and a flat scarf on his head. His face was like a crown jade and his appearance was majestic.

It's just that the dandy with the riding whip upside down with his arms crossed is really unflattering...

The steward of the eldest grandson's family had a headache when he saw the second master, and he kept muttering in his heart, the master sent the second generation ancestor here, either to supervise the spring plowing or to add chaos to the spring plowing... Just arrived at the village the day before yesterday, and he didn't have a moment of leisure. Gong Ya was about to go up the mountain to hunt with the hunting dog, and almost scared the steward to death!

What do you think this is?
Turning over the ridge, the other side is His Majesty's Xingyuan. Although His Majesty has returned to Chang'an at this time, the "violation" happened just now. You went there in full armor, aren't you looking for trouble?After finally settling down, the nose was not the nose and the face was not the face. The servants up and down were terrified, and they had to be extra careful when serving tea and water.

The steward saw that the Fang family started spring plowing half a month earlier than the solar terms, and was curious, so he brought two people over to have a look, but he didn't expect this one to come too.

Changsun Huan rode his horse along the terraces between the paddy fields, waved his whip, and asked loudly, "Is your Erlang here?"

The steward of the eldest grandson's house was startled, so he hurried over and said with an apologetic smile, "Erlang, the weather seems to be warm and cold in spring, you are wearing thin clothes, be careful if you catch the wind and cold, this old slave will accompany you back..."

That Fang Er is a well-known mallet in Guanzhong. Our Erlang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Both of them are hot-tempered and a little bit tolerant. If they get together, they will be sparks hit the earth...

Of course, the steward didn't know this sentence, but he was worried at all.

Changsun Huan squinted at him, weighed the horsewhip in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "You'd better not care about the senior management and the young master's business, otherwise, don't blame me for not knowing how to respect the elders!"

Relying on being a member of the grandmother's family, the old man has deep seniority in the eldest grandson's family, and he is nosy all day long, especially when he is ordered by his father to watch him, not allowing this or that, it is so annoying that he wants to put a sack on him and beat him hard It takes one meal to calm down!

The senior executive was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to say more, this master is really not a good-tempered...

Changsun Huan looked up at the farmers of the Fang family who were busy planting rice seedlings, and wondered, "Why does Fang's family have already started spring plowing, but our Changsun family has to wait another half a month?"

The executive said helplessly: "This method of raising rice seedlings in advance, I have never heard of this method, let alone understand the details."

"Hmph!" Chang Sun Huan said disdainfully: "After all, isn't it just that you are incompetent? You have to make so many excuses."

The senior officer remained silent and let him talk. If he disputed and refuted, wouldn't he be asking for anger?Anyway, whether it's now or in the future, the eldest grandson's family is not your business, so it's better to stay away from it...

Seeing that he didn't respond, Changsun Huan felt bored, and immediately shouted again: "Where is Fang Er?"

A farmer had noticed Changsun Huan a long time ago. No matter how he was dressed or riding a tall horse in the field, he was really too coquettish, and it was difficult for people not to pay attention.

Then someone replied, "Erlang is in the field down the slope."

Changsun Huan clamped his horse's belly and rode the horse for a stroll to another paddy field down the hillside.

The senior executive didn't bother to care about him, so he took his people back to Zhuangzi. He had to think about whether he should put a few waterwheels in the Zhuangzi. This kind of waterwheel that lifts the river water up is really convenient. , can actually turn mountains into paddy fields...

Changsun Huan rode his horse around an earth dam that blocked the water and walked down the hillside, bursting out laughing immediately.

But I saw that Fang Jun was wearing a crotchless shirt, barefoot, trousers rolled up high, and his calf was covered with mud...

The so-called "short of hips" refers to the shape of opening "slits" under the two crotches of the robe. The round neck, narrow sleeves, and lack of hips make the garment length below the knee or ankle to facilitate movement. Therefore, this kind of robe It is used as the clothing of the common people or low class people such as servants, and more often it is worn when working.

This kind of robe is usually worn with small-cut trousers. When working, one corner of the shirt can be tucked between the belt, which is called "bound shirt".

Fang Jun was originally darker than ordinary people, and now he was wearing such a shirt, and his appearance was like that of a country boy with muddy legs...

Changsun Huan laughed so hard on the horse: "Haha...Fang Er, what are you doing?"

Fang Jun glanced back at him, ignored him, and continued to direct the farmers in the paddy field to work.

The farmers in the Tang Dynasty worked in a horrible way in Fang Jun's eyes. There was no scientific working method at all, and everything they did was very casual.It is such a simple thing as transplanting seedlings, but the holes are not straight and the holes are uneven, and the holes are not enough to float the seedlings.

Fang Jun was so angry that he simply pulled a rope, straightened the two ends and nailed it with a wooden wedge, and inserted it for me according to the thread.

Seeing that Fang Jun ignored him, Changsun Huan didn't take it seriously, jumped off the horse, and walked over with the whip whipped. Just as he was about to tease Fang Jun, he realized that there was another person standing beside him.

At first, I thought it was the house servant of the Fang family, but when I walked in, I realized that this person was neatly dressed. Even Fang Jun was covered in mud. How could a servant be so clean?

A closer look revealed the difference.

This person is relatively thin and small. Although he is wearing a Hanfu, he is obviously a little big and looks very loose.It's okay to be thin and small, looking young and full of beards, it looks extremely uncoordinated.

"Who is this person?"

Changsun Huan took a look and asked casually.

"The Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty!" Fang Jun said.

"Hehe! Japanese people?" Changsun Huan became interested, and looked around this person, as if he had discovered some rare species, and asked, "Can you speak Chinese?"

Although the man was terrified by Changsun Huan, he still bowed down respectfully and said, "I'm dispatching Tang Deputy Envoy Ji Shiju."

The pronunciation is a bit stiff, but the enunciation is still clear.

Changsun Huan seemed to be quite interested in the Tang envoy from the Wa Kingdom, and kept asking: "Your Wa Kingdom is really strange, remember that the last time was in the fourth year of Zhenguan, you came here once, why are you coming again now? If I remember correctly, it seems that His Majesty rewarded a lot of treasures that time, could it be that some emperor of yours is too poor and has no money this time, and sent you to fight the autumn wind?"

Ji Shiju was not annoyed at Chang Sun Huan's harshness, but said sincerely: "That's not the case. Our Emperor sent us to the Tang Kingdom of China to promote exchanges between the two countries and send foreign students to learn the advanced knowledge of the Tang Kingdom. To preserve the inexhaustible friendship between our two countries!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, Fang Jun curled his lips and smiled disdainfully.

These devils are also worthy of talking about friendship?It's just an insult to the word...

From the beginning to the end, the Japanese country is like a dwarf being held down by the neighbor's uncle, who is respectful, afraid, envious and jealous. When China is strong, they are as good as bunnies, harmless to humans and animals; once China is weak , They will show their fangs, pounce on a piece of flesh and tear fiercely, greedy!

As a half-angry youth, Fang Jun doesn't have even the slightest liking for this country.

He didn't understand, why did Ji Shiju come to find him if he didn't go to Chang'an?

"I'm busy, talk when I have something to say, fart when I have something to say, and get out as soon as I finish!" Fang Jun said without any perfunctory meaning.

Changsun Huan laughed, and gave Fang Jun a thumbs up.

This attitude is very good!

Fang Junxin said that you guy also traveled from a later life, otherwise why do you have such a dislike for the Wa country?
Ji Shiju's face turned red, but his face was covered with hair... beard, no matter how red it was, he couldn't tell.

Why along the way, no matter the Tang officials or ordinary people, after learning of his status as an envoy to the Tang, they all respected him and gave them food, drinks and gifts all the way. Why did they come here and met two Such a rude person?
