At the end of last year, Tubo invaded Songzhou, and the sage sent several generals with 50,000 infantry and cavalry to attack them.
As a result, when it came time to actually face the enemy, the main force of the Tang army was not used.
Niu Jinda rushed over with a vanguard force and defeated the Tubo troops.
Now this matter has been spread in Chang'an City, and everyone regards it as a joke.
It is rumored that the envoys from Tibet will soon come to Chang'an City to apologize to the saint.
The country is rich and powerful, the society is stable, and battles have been won on the frontier.
The atmosphere in Chang'an City has been quite festive recently.
On the 15th day of the ninth lunar month, on the day of the great dynasty, the saint asked the servants in the palace to bring out several jars of white wine that had been shipped from Changle County a few days ago and gave them to all the officials in the dynasty to celebrate.
Many of the officials had already tasted this liquor before.
In fact, the liquor in the palace has been available for some time, but this time it was brought out to celebrate the victory.
There are also Hu merchants selling it in the market, and the price is very high.
If you don't have any wealth, you will definitely not be able to afford it.
Some of them had never tasted it before.
Today, they saw white wine for the first time in this court hall.
They saw only a quiet cup of wine.
It was clear to the bottom and the wine had a strong aroma.
After drinking it, "Cough, cough, cough."
Some people choked on this glass of liquor and coughed, and they were inevitably laughed at by everyone.
"Haha, I'm afraid this is my first time eating it."
"Slow down, slow down, this wine is very strong."
"I'm afraid you scholars won't be able to drink this wine.
Come on, come on, bring it to me."
"You only have this one glass per person, and you have to fight with others.
Why don't you go out and buy it with your own money?
There are also wine shops in the market that have this wine."
"If I could afford it, I wouldn't tell you here."
"I heard that in Changle County, a bottle of wine costs only two cents.
It's a little light, but it's similar to this white wine."
"Hey, old man Tang Jian is in a good mood this time."
"Based on his friendship with Assistant Professor Na Luo, I'm afraid he won't have to drink the end of the wine." "" Everyone was drinking and talking, and there was a buzz in the hall.
The emperor didn't care about them, he just drank the glass of white wine in his hand and sat leisurely on the couch, not knowing what he was thinking.
After everyone had finished the glass of wine, the chamberlains came and took away the glasses, and then the emperor ordered Tang Jian's letter to be taken out.
"This is a document sent by Tang Aiqing from Changle County.
Waiter Tian, come and read it and listen to it," the sage said.
"Here."
The waiter in the field bowed and took the document, opened it carefully, then stood in the hall and read it word for word, his voice was calm and not very shrill.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, some of the eunuchs in the palace were literate and some were illiterate.
There was no institution specifically teaching eunuchs how to read in the palace, but the ban was not very tight.
If the eunuchs met by chance, they would If someone is willing to teach you and you are willing to work hard, you can learn to read.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City There are also some eunuchs who enter the palace only after they reach adulthood, and some of these people are also literate.
To say that the most stringent prohibition was probably the Ming Dynasty of later generations.
The Ming Dynasty had strict and easy-to-use laws and regulations, and this was not just for eunuchs.
Also in the Ming Dynasty, by the time of Emperor Yongle, there was an institution in the palace dedicated to teaching eunuchs and servants how to read.
The Second East and West Factory appeared at that time, and it was also at that time that Zheng He made his voyages to the West.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs in the early Tang Dynasty probably still lived a more leisurely and free life.

Not only the eunuchs in the palace, but also the overall social atmosphere at this time in the early Tang Dynasty was the same.
Compared with several dynasties in later generations, the overall social atmosphere was relatively less restricted by ethical ethics.
When it comes to freedom and looseness, among the ministers and ministers in the palace, there are probably few who can compare to Tang Jian.
Ever since he almost lost his head because of a chess dispute with the emperor, and later because he took a few lambs from others, he was removed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and became Doctor Guanglu, this guy has become a bit of a loser. , it seems that he has no intention of official career and is not very diligent in government affairs.
This time the emperor sent him to Changle County, and the official documents he wrote back were quite free and unrestrained.
Master Tang first described to His Majesty the Emperor the majesty of the mountains and rivers in the Hexi Corridor, and then talked about the hard life of the soldiers on the frontier, what he had seen and heard along the way, and then vividly described the fiery scene of the barbarians rushing to buy tea.
He also said that the tea leaves are not just tree leaves.
You can pick them off and knead them into cakes, which can be exchanged for money.
It saves you the trouble of raising silkworms and weaving cloth, and so on.
Of course, after all, Mr.
Tang was also from a noble family and his family was well-educated.
He still knew that official documents should be written in written language.
"Tsk, this Doctor Tang is really getting more and more out of tune."
Even in written language, many officials in the court still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
After all, this was still an era when parallel prose was popular, and even Tang poetry had not yet developed much.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "Hey, Doctor Tang doesn't stick to trivial matters, dear friends, don't worry about it."
His Majesty the Emperor didn't care much.
If Tang Jian pulled him again, if he gave an order from his side, he would have to run to Changle County.
"The sage thought that this tea trade could be used for something."
At this time, the focus of most people in the court was still on this tea trade.
"I heard that those Lishi merchants are opening tea farms in the south recently," the emperor replied. "" The man heard this and was silent for a while.
"I believe that all of you dear friends have also felt that Na Luo Yongwei is indeed a good talent, but he is young and energetic, and his actions are a little reckless.
If there is anything he does that is inappropriate, you should also be tolerant.
Previously, he A businessman is demoted, and those who deserve to be punished are also punished.
Since you are officials in the same dynasty, you should naturally put the great affairs of the dynasty and the people of the world as your top priority, and don't hurt the friendship of the same dynasty for trivial matters."
His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the couch, urging these ministers to be harmonious and friendly, as if Luo Yong had been asked to draw the flames of war at the front, while he himself had to hide in the back to relax.
"The tea trade is of great importance this time.
Tang Aiqing has been a bit sloppy recently.
If I entrust it entirely to him, I would not be at ease.
How about I let you recommend a few young talents and let them go to Changle County to see See, just for the tea, it can also broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge. " When the emperor just asked the servant Tian to read the letter, the servant had only one piece of letter paper in his hand.
There was originally a second piece of paper.
Although there were only a few lines of understatement on it, Li Shimin knew the weight of it, so he put it in advance.
The letter was put away.
Except for a few close ministers around the emperor, no one knew about this matter.
The reason for doing this was firstly not to want to cause trouble, and secondly to be wary of the spies planted in Chang'an City by surrounding countries.
After the court dismissed that day, the city of Chang'an began to buzz again.
According to Tang Jian, the tea business could almost be compared with silk and silk cloth, so that's not bad.
Although Tang Jian has lived a somewhat undisciplined life in the past two years, he is a real hero for the founding of the country.
When Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan was planning something in Taiyuan, he participated.
Over the past twenty or thirty years, dynasties have been changing.
Tang Jian has experienced many things and made many great contributions.
Few people will question his vision and judgment.
Since the tea trade is so important, their family must also be involved.
Even if they can't do business openly, they still need to build a few large tea farms.
As for how big the investment is and how much capital it will cost, that has to be done first.

Arrange for a few people to go over and check out the market.
As for who to let go, the most talented person in the family and the hope of the family's future must not be sent there.
If someone goes there and never comes back, the loss will be too huge.
Those who are uneducated and unskilled will definitely not be able to do it.
It will be in vain if they go.
Those who are too weak are afraid of getting lost on the road.
There are also some who are determined not to go, so forget it.
The melon is not sweet.
Some of them want to go on their own, but Ye Niang and Weng Po refuse to do so, which is not easy to do.
In the end, each household picked out some young people who didn't care about their mother or loved them.
They were relatively strong and wanted to go to the west and seek development.
After going round and round, the final result was exactly what Luo Yong wanted.
On the Changle County side, Luo Yong was also preparing for this matter at this time.
Although he still didn't know what the attitude of the Chang'an City side was, he still decided to take advantage of his time in Changle County to try it.
Light this fire.
Offense is the best defense.
If you don't seek development and just want to live comfortably, then weakness will eventually become inevitable.
Even if there is no Anshi Rebellion, there will be other chaos.
If there is no great food in Tubo and Goguryeo, there will be other countries.
Tang Jian naturally understood this truth.
When he lived in Chang'an City before, he was a little blinded by the prosperity and wealth in front of him.
He always felt that the world was peaceful and no one could make any more waves.
After Li Er became emperor, he had trouble with him again.
He was not very happy, and he was afraid that he would have nothing to do in and outside the court in the future, so he spent all day hanging out with friends and enjoying life.
Unexpectedly, I went to Changle County this time and saw that this kid Luo Yong actually played such a big game here.
Although there are only a few empty pieces on the chessboard, the pattern is big enough.
Mr.
Tang thinks he is still young and can still do another big job.
The author has something to say: So what?
I've been a little off track in the past two days.
I'm sorry to everyone who is waiting for updates. gd1806102:
