Chapter 424: True Fragrance


In the original history, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo in the past two years.

In that war, Fang Xuanling was also tortured.

Li Shimin himself went to Liaodong to fight, and the rear area of ​​Chang'an City was handed over to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was also very old at that time.

Not only did he work hard, but he was also sued by Li Shimin.

Said he was going to rebel.

Once Fang Xuanling is imprisoned on the charge of treason, the entire Fang family will suffer, not to mention the wife, children, and children, even if Fang Xuanling doesn't say anything about it.

Women will be used as slaves, and men above the age of thirteen and below sixty-five will be punished.

All of them will have their heads removed, and those under the age of thirteen will also be used as slaves.

Thinking about it, Fang Xuanling's life must have been very difficult during that time.

Li Jing was also having a hard time.

Li Jing was already in his seventies at that time.

He was old and had difficulty moving.

He didn't want to go to Liaodong to fight with Li Shimin.

However, he was a man of noble birth and a good reputation.

He also read poetry and had outstanding military exploits. , very charismatic, very respected by others, it can be said that he responded to a hundred calls.

Li Shimin was worried about leaving him here in Chang'an City, and insisted on taking him with him, which was also very frustrating.

In the end, these three people all passed away a few years after the Battle of Goguryeo.

Fang Xuanling left first, also at this time of summer.

By the next summer, Li Jing and Li Shimin also left one after another.

The difference between them was only a few days.

In this way, Li Shimin is a bit hateful, but among the three, he is also the youngest.

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing are all of his uncle's generation.

Regardless of the many rights and wrongs, regardless of personal likes and dislikes, these people are very shining figures in the long history of history.

They can also be said to have a clear conscience for the people of this world.

Luo Yong always had some admiration for them in his heart.

He hoped that these people could enjoy happiness in the last few years of their lives.

It would be even better if they could live a few more years.

The prince is still very young now.

If they can live a few more years, the transfer of power between the old and new emperors may be much gentler.

If the new emperor himself can take power, Changsun Wuji will not be so powerful that day.

King Wu Li Ke may not have to die.

According to the original historical trajectory, that would be six or seven years later, which is not very far away.

But now, nothing has happened.

Although the battle of Goguryeo was still lost, Li Shimin did not have a chariot to fight in person, so Li Jing did not need to go to Liaodong with him, and the elderly Fang Xuanling did not need to sit in Chang'an City under such circumstances.

Faced with various complex situations and under tremendous pressure.

Luo Yong was also happy to see this situation.

The only thing he felt was that he felt a little sorry for Changsun Wuji, especially since this gentleman was very kind to him.

Whenever he met him, he always talked to him with a smile.

He must not have known that his path to becoming a powerful minister was almost wiped out by Luo Yong's butterfly.

However, Luo Yong knew this very well, so every time he faced Changsun Wuji, he felt an inexplicable guilty conscience, with a bright smile on his face and silently thinking about his sins in his heart.

It is said that Luo Yong has been quiet recently, but the excitement in the court is still the same.

Recently, everyone is quarreling about road construction.

The imperial court intends to build the railway track east of Luoyang.

Many officials in the court are very supportive of this matter.

The gentry, gentry, merchants and wealthy households in the Bianliang area are eagerly looking forward to it. .

There have always been voices of opposition, but the closer it gets to the start of construction, the more intense these people's opposition becomes.

Officials in Hedong said that there are no wooden rails on the road from Chang'an to Taiyuan yet, so the rails in Luoyang must be built first.

The Guannai Road is even worse.

From Chang'an City to the hinterland of the Guannai Road, there is not even a cement road, let alone wooden rails.

There is also Lingnan.

Due to the development of canned fruit and various pulp and sugar industries in recent years, the connection between Lingnan and the Central Plains has become closer and closer.

People there are also looking forward to building roads.

To put it bluntly, the one in Lingnan that needs the most road construction now is Lingnan, but the number of officials from Lingnan is very small, and they can't compete in that court.

There are enough officials from Hedong, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong, but Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, with silk, seafood and beautiful scenery.

After this railway track is repaired, it will be convenient for the royal family and nobles from Chang'an City to visit Jiangnan.

Enjoy the scenery.

Whatever you have in Hedong Road, you can't compete with corn and mutton embroidery needles.

A young official from Hedong Road asked Luo Yong why he didn't speak up.

Although he was only a county magistrate and a doctor of engineering, and his rank was not high, his influence was still relatively good, and his words were often taken seriously.

Luo Yong said that Hedong Road is very mountainous, and even if a track is built, it may not be of much help.

Besides, refined iron, grain, mutton cans, and other goods, it is also good to travel by water.

As a result, I got sprayed.

It probably means that he is not united and will retreat when trouble comes, and so on.

A few days later, Luo Yong went to the court.

An adult from the young man's family took the opportunity to have a few words with Luo Yong, saying that he did not take care of his own children and made Luo Yong laugh.

In the past, the Luo family's interactions with the merchant families in Hedong were mostly based on business names and some small families.

There was still relatively little interaction with those real aristocratic families.

But in any case, Luo Yong was also from Hedong Road.

Judging from his current development situation, he is also a rising star of the future.

Naturally, the big families of Hedong Road have no reason to turn against him.

He did not expect that Luo Yong was not angry at all, and said that young people are full of energy.

This is a very common thing, and it is rare to have passion and fighting spirit.

The other party carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

He was neither tall nor short, and had a good appearance, but he was not very outstanding.

At this time, he had a smile on his face and seemed quite sincere.

This person thought, "How old are you?

Just call another young man.

If the boys at home hear this, they will probably jump again."

A few days later, Chen Mian, who was then a doctor of Guozixue, asked Luo Yong to help him produce an examination paper, and Luo Yong readily agreed.

Chen Mian was a doctor in Taixue in his early years.

Later he went to Hedong Road and learned arithmetic with Luo Yong.

Later, because Guozixue needed teaching personnel in this field, he went to Guozixue.

Guozixue His status is higher than that of Taixue, so he can be considered a promotion.

Luo Yong has not been very busy recently, and it only took him two days to hand this new test paper into Chen Mian's hands.

Chen Mian found someone to print the engravings, and on the day before the ten-day holiday in mid-July, he distributed them to all classes and students in Guozixue.

The education system of this era, especially in schools like Guozixue, promotes elite education, which requires all-round talents.

When setting the topic, there is almost no saying about whether it is beyond the outline or not, because in the eyes of people at the time, scholars are the most knowledgeable people in the world, and you should know everything in the world.

The test questions Luo Yong gave this time were quite arbitrary.

Rather than testing the students' academic performance, it was more to give them something new to learn and gain some knowledge.

Luo Sanlang had not published a topic for a long time.

This time he returned to the world and contributed many new topics to the readers of Chang'an City.

The young man from Hedong who had scolded Luo Yong in person earlier was very unhappy with this situation.

Although he was a little curious, he suppressed his curiosity with his strong self-esteem and refused to read the test questions. .

On this day, he went to a banquet at the invitation of a good friend.

The upper class society of this era often held various banquets, especially among men.

It was not all about indulgence, drinking and prostitution.

It mainly depends on who you hang out with.

Like this Hedong young man, he My friends are basically quite serious.

There were often poems and essays at the banquets of these serious young people, and sometimes they would also talk about practical matters.

This time, Luo Yong, the magistrate of Chang'an County, came out with a new paper, so everyone started talking about it during the banquet.

"In your opinion, I don't know how cold the wind is tonight and how cold the water is."

The place where everyone was feasting was in a water pavilion.

A young man sat leaning on the railing, raised his glass and drank a sip of sake, then turned to ask everyone road.

A young man who was eating at the table smiled and replied: "It's very hot tonight.

In my opinion, the wind should be fifty or sixty degrees."

Another person walked along the stone steps to the water, stretched out his hand and drew a stroke in the water, and said: "This water is quite cold, I wonder if it is 20 degrees."

Hedong youth: What are they talking about?

But these friends of his seemed to be addicted to it.

They always asked about everything they saw, how much should it be?

The temperature of the hot dishes just served, the temperature of the leftover soup on the table, and the temperature of the iced cold melon were all discussed.

The young man from Hedong was confused, but he didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he had to force-feed them.

I drank a few glasses of liquor and pretended to be drunk.

The next day, he asked his book boy about the matter of so many degrees.

His book boy was also literate and well-informed.

The book boy told him that the Chang'an County magistrate had issued a paper earlier, and one of the questions said: "Suppose that a pottery cauldron boils water.

When the water boils, the temperature is one hundred degrees.

It is very cold in winter and the river freezes.

The water temperature is zero degrees.

I would like to ask you, what is the approximate body temperature of the human body?"

"How many degrees?"

the Hedong young man asked curiously.

"Answer: In my opinion, it's about thirty-six degrees."

This is the standard answer given by Luo Yong.

Some people said that his answer was inaccurate, so everyone expressed their opinions, saying that there were several degrees.

After all, there were no thermometers in this era, so no one could prove whether their guess was correct or wrong.

After hearing these words, the young man from Hedong thought about it carefully.

Who said last night that the night wind could be 50 or 60 degrees?

Is that guy stupid?

The wind must not be 50 or 60 degrees.

"Bring the test paper and look at it carefully with me."

"Here." gd1806102:
