Chapter 35 Li Shimin's birthday Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the twenty-eighth day of the first month (there are two versions of Li Shimin's birthday, one is the twenty-third day of the first month, and the other is the twenty-eighth day of the first month, and the second version is used here), Li Shimin's birthday has arrived.
On this day, hundreds of officials congratulated, all countries came to the court, the ban was lifted in Chang'an City for three days, and thousands of lights were lit up all night long, and the grand occasion was stronger than the Lantern Festival (there is still a part of the story about the Lantern Festival related to the plot, so I didn't say it in detail, and it will be introduced slowly in the future) and the New Year.
In the evening, the ministers and envoys of various countries who sent off the birthday greetings were gone, and the family gathered together again to congratulate Li Shimin on his birthday.
It's been a while of nonsense, and finally it's the most important link - congratulatory gifts, this time the first to give gifts are girls, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty.
However, girls' gifts are generally more symbolic and not very practical.
For example, Runan gave a hand-woven dragon and phoenix Chengxiang purse, while Changle's gift was a bowl of hand-made longevity noodles, and most of the other women did the same.
Although Li Shimin cherished the captain, he was only moved.
He was more looking forward to his sons' gifts, and he didn't know what kind of things his sons would be able to come up with after what he said.
"Last time during the Chinese New Year, the father's teachings made the child wake up, indeed, no matter how good things are, what is the use of not benefiting the country?"
Li Chengqian first reviewed Li Shimin's teachings very hypocritically, and then took out his own gift: "So after painstaking collection these days, the child finally got the blueprint of the Zhuge crossbow from the hands of a Zhuge relict clan, and the child is willing to dedicate this drawing to his father to strengthen the military prestige of the Tang Dynasty." ” "Good!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the drawings and carefully put them away: "With this artifact, my Tang Dynasty military power will definitely be proud of all countries in the world." ” "Congratulations to my father for getting this artifact, my sons congratulate my father and the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhen first stood up and congratulated - no matter how unhappy Li Chengqian is, he must congratulate Li Shimin at this time.
The rest of the people also reacted, and hurriedly congratulated: "The son congratulates his father and the emperor, and congratulates the Tang Dynasty." ” "Okay, all right, sit down."
Li Shimin was also very satisfied, and said to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian's gift is very much in line with my heart, a bounty of a thousand gold, a hundred silk horses, and ten pairs of jade. ” "Thank you, Father."
Li Chengqian hurriedly thanked him, although this reward was not rich for him, but it represented a kind of recognition, which was precious to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was followed by Li Ke: "Father, the sons and daughters don't have the luck of the prince and eldest brother, and they can't find a weapon of war."
Fortunately, the child's luck is also good, from the folk to get the design drawings of the waterwheel of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and successfully assembled the finished product, without manpower and animal power, only need to build a river, can be automatically irrigated with the water. ” "Really?
Ke'er is really my lucky star.
Although Li Shimin was very happy on his face, he pouted in his heart, what did he get from the people?
Didn't Zhen'er give it to you yet?
Am I really a fool?
"Father's award."
Li Ke naturally knew Li Shimin's thoughts, in fact, he didn't intend to hide it from Li Shimin when he asked Li Zhen for help, but he really had no choice, there were many things that benefited the country and the people, but most of them had been obtained by the imperial court.
The rest have either long been lost, or have not yet been developed, and there are really not many things that have been ignored by the imperial court, and most of them are hidden in the library of the family.
But Datang has been on the opposite side of the family since its establishment, unless it is a last resort, otherwise which family will take the initiative to hand over this thing?
"Father, although the waterwheel is useless for the military, it is a agricultural artifact, as long as there is a waterwheel, irrigation does not need to be operated by rickshaws, what a huge manpower savings?
The third brother offered such an artifact, and the son felt that his father should be rewarded.
But it was Li Zhen who saw that Li Shimin didn't mean to reward Li Ke, and felt unfair in his heart, so he immediately stood up and said-A peaty crossbow without a physical object can be rewarded, and my waterwheel is much more useful than a crossbow, how can I do it without a reward?
"Of course, Ke'er has a meritorious contribution to the treasure, and he will be given a bounty, a hundred silk horses, and ten pairs of jade."
Li Shimin also found that he had neglected his third son, and hurriedly added.
"Thank you, Father."
Li Ke hurriedly thanked him.
"Zhen'er, since you have stood up, don't sit down yet, and tell me what your congratulatory gift is?
Father likes Zhen'er the most, you shouldn't just take a copy in exchange for a copy to fool your father, right?
"Li Shimin is very unhappy, wow, you and your third brother teamed up to deceive me, I haven't investigated it, and I'm embarrassed to ask me for a reward?
Then I'm going to embarrass you, knowing that you changed "Seventeen Posts" to Biancai, but I don't want this, what do I think you should do?
“......
Of course, of course, how could the sons and daughters fool their father with the letters?
"Good guy, fortunately, I was prepared, Li Zhen pinched a cold sweat in her heart, and took out a thin book from her arms: "This is a book in the memory of Erchen, called "Jing Nong Volume", which introduces some agricultural measures in detail, although it is not a classic, but it also has some reference significance. ” In fact, the so-called "Jing Nong Juan" is a book that Li Zhen finally formed with the idea of "agricultural administration" in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" as the core, plus some agricultural management methods and regulations in later generations, and then his own understanding.
However, the time is limited, so he wrote a total of tens of thousands of words in this "Jingnong Volume", which was also written by Li Zhen after staying up for three nights, and at that time he just wanted to make a backup, but he didn't expect to really use it.
"Oh?
It turned out to be a fairy again?
Li Shimin immediately became interested, and hurriedly took it from Wang Tingchu's hand and roughly flipped through a few pages, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it was written by a fairy, I just read a few pages, and some problems that I had been unable to figure out were suddenly solved."
It is......
It's just that this content is a little simpler. ” "Father, this has nothing to do with the son-in-law, and the son-in-law guarantees that not a word is missed."

Seeing Li Shimin's dissatisfied tone, Li Zhen immediately swore that he had no private secrets - indeed he didn't hide his secrets, this was originally written by us, and it was not casual to write as much as you want?
"Father didn't doubt Zhen'er's meaning, Zhen'er shouldn't be angry."
Li Shimin soothed Li Zhen, raised the book in his hand again, and said with a wry smile: "But my father is not wrong, although the things in the "Jingnong Volume" are rich, the records are extremely simple, and some are even only a few strokes.
It's like a thirsty person who meets a drop of water, and although this drop of water can indeed help him live, how can it be enjoyable?
” "There's no way for this son."
Li Zhen spread her hands, but her heart blossomed, making you embarrassed me.
I'll hang you out for a while.
"I don't know if my father will be satisfied with the gift of my son?"
Li Zhenke hadn't forgotten the agreement, but after he asked this, he was afraid that Li Shimin would deliberately say that he was not satisfied, so he said with a little meaning: "This "Jingnong Volume" is silently out of the memory of the sons, and in terms of understanding it, I am afraid that no one will be left and right by the sons."
If the father is satisfied, the son may write a book of "Jing Nong Juan Annotations" in the future, of course, if you are not satisfied, then the son did not say. ” "Of course I am."
Li Shimin couldn't hear what Li Zhen meant, and immediately said without thinking: "If this "Jingnong Volume" is not too short, it must be another magnificent book, if Zhen'er can annotate it, it will definitely become a beautiful thing in "Water Jing Commentary". ” "Thank you father, my son will live up to my father's wishes."
Li Zhen thanked him and sat back in his place.
"Notes on the Book of Water" is named after the note on the "Book of Water", which is the commentary of the book "The Book of Water", which was written by Li Daoyuan, an official of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The Book of Water is about 10,000 words and is the first monograph on the water system in China.
"Tang Liudian Note" said that it "leads the water of the world, one hundred and thirty-seven".
The "Commentary on the Book of Water" seems to be the note of the "Book of Water", but in fact, it is based on the "Book of Water", which records in detail more than 1,000 large and small rivers and related historical sites, characters' stories, myths and legends, etc., and is the most comprehensive and systematic comprehensive geographical work in ancient China.
The book also records a lot of inscriptions and ink and fishing songs and ballads, the writing is splendid, the language is clear and beautiful, and it has high literary value.
Since many of the many documents cited in the book were lost in later generations, much of the material has been preserved.
Li Shimin said here that Li Zhencheng's "Notes on the Book of Water" is wishing Li Zhen to follow Li Daoyuan's example and write his own "Notes on the Classics of Agriculture" with the "Classics of Agriculture" as the program, and then spread his name to the world.
After Li Zhen finished the gift, Li Tai immediately got up: "Erchen congratulates his father on a long life, and Erchen once got a manuscript of "Qi Min's Technique" written by Jia Sixian, a famous minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is very different from the finished book, and is specially dedicated to his father. ” Li You: "Erchen presents Ou Yezi's "Sword Casting Fragments"......
I wish my father a long life. ” Li Su: "Erchen presents the Eastern Jin Dynasty anonymous "Excerpt from the Ganshi Star Sutra"......
I wish my father a long life. ” Li Yun: "Erchen presents ......"
Li Zhen: "Erchen ......"
Li Shen: "Erchen ......" "......"
Li Zhen looked at the brothers dumbfounded, good guys, I really don't see it usually, none of my brothers and brothers are fuel-efficient.
In such a congratulatory gift, only Li Su's gift is relatively light, and the practical value is relatively low, but it can be regarded as a rare treasure.
Each of the remaining ones is no less than Li Chengqian and Li Ke, and it is a little worse than "Jingnong Volume".
But the reason why he won was that he took advantage of the fact that "Jing Nong Juan" never appeared.
