I became the son of Renzong

Wang Anshi was really worried that this time the Zhang family's tribute would set a precedent for the state government to please the officials.

This is very good, the officials let the Zhang family go, but warned the officials of the Western Regions who provided convenience for the tribute... This is also a warning to the officials of the entire country.

It is said that after a person has absolute power, there is the possibility of expansion. Zhao Xi does not agree with it too much. There is a question of whether virtue is coordinated or not.There is some truth in the saying that if morality does not match, disasters will follow.

Zhao Xi's cognition of rights is more of the enlightenment of later generations, and even the formation of the Three Views has nothing to do with this era.When Zhao Xi came to this era, he tried his best to adapt to this era and integrate into this era, but he also rejected certain things.

Besides, no matter what, he has seen the changes in history, and the evaluation of the emperors of various dynasties by later generations also makes Zhao Xi vigilant from time to time, preventing him from being self-willed.

······

As more and more naval escorts returned, they brought a lot of things, but none of what Zhao Xi expected to see.The so-called rare things have really become rare things, and even the gold coins of Xifan, the navy will selectively send them to the officials.

Zhao Xi really didn't know whether the imperial edict should be cancelled.

"Officials, there was an investigation by the Imperial City Secretary who saw a piece of food chewed by a Hu merchant in Lanzhou, so he confiscated some of it..."

Now the court is already spreading the news about the official family, although it is not a playful rumor, it is not a good rumor.

It is said that the officials are sorting out the rare things brought by the navy all day long, and the government has been completely handed over to the prince.But Wang Zhongzheng knew that the officials were looking for species related to Nongsang.

Even the edict given to the navy was about species, but it was just a rumor.

Therefore, he also let the Imperial City Secretary pay attention.

"Bring it and see..."

Zhao Xi no longer had any hope, and even felt a little paranoid.

"carrot?"

Seeing Wang Zhongzheng coming in with a few sticks, how could he not recognize him?How should I put this thing? When Zhao Xi came to this era, in order not to surprise people, he has never commented on food. Basically, he eats what he has, and rarely mentions those that are almost common in later generations. food.

At first, I thought that carrots would never be seen, so I assumed that carrots were introduced to the Central Plains a long time later.At first glance, this is indeed a bit of a surprise.

"Official..."

"Zhongzheng, you..." Zhao Xi originally wanted Wang Zhongzheng to plant it, but looking at the sky, it was already another autumn. "Well, you planted the carrots in the Wentang prison and let them take care of them carefully."

If it doesn’t work, try it first, if it doesn’t work, then find someone who is familiar with its habits.

Zhao Xi remembers how to plant carrots by sowing seeds, that is, the seeds of carrots.But carrots seem to be able to bear seeds if they grow at will... I don't remember clearly.

A carrot gave Zhao Xi hope once again... Although things have a specific law of development, so does history. It should be said that the spread of species also has a law.But the carrot made Zhao Xi see the existence of chance.

Zhao Xi was not familiar with the process of carrots being introduced to the Central Plains, but he felt that he was a king after all, and no matter what new things the kingdom had, he should have heard and learned something, especially about food.

What's more, in today's state, I am afraid that the market is rumored to have a hobby of collecting rare things, which should form a trend...

At this time, Zhao Xi also understood.What will happen to the Navy?In addition to merchants, it is the pirates who sailed, or the personnel who sailed without accident.This is doomed that there will be no accidents, and it will only follow the original trajectory.

Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction...

Chapter 845

According to historical records... With this beginning, the most basic condition is that the things recorded must be able to enter the eyes of the main author.

Recording historical phenomena has always been the privilege of the scholar-official class. The grassroots did not have this opportunity, and neither did the merchants.

Because carrots were selected by Zhao Xi for trial planting, the Secretary of the Imperial City paid attention to it, but the following report made Zhao Xi a little ashamed... It turns out that people in Shazhou have long been planting carrots .

From this, Zhao Xi thought that the shipping of Guochao was only known to be quite prosperous in later generations, and the farthest place of Guochao's current maritime merchants is also inferred based on the so-called cultural relics, and there is no pure experience of maritime merchants. records.

In other words, many unremarkable things will not appear in historical materials.

Therefore, Zhao Xi had some expectations for the mob of the fourth son.

The ocean is mysterious. Even in later generations, with the development of science and technology, they dare not say that they have fully understood the ocean. Not to mention development, that is, they dare not say that they have completely covered the ocean as far as humans can go. Development and utilization is even less than [-]%.

So, now, how much can this era know about the ocean?In a few hundred years, what will it be like when the Age of Discovery comes?How many accidental events have been lost in the so-called historical materials?

Zhao Xi felt that he had entered into a kind of obsession...

Even so, Zhao Xi will not lose his mind by playing with things, and his main energy is still on government affairs.The thing about carrots appeared again, but the court did not have any ministers to speak to him.

As for the rumors of the market, there are changes in hot and cold, and it will disappear after a while. In other words, the market, including the court, no longer talks about officials...

The old man's house will communicate with the cabinet again every once in a while. This is not what the old man's house requires, but Zhao Xi's stipulation.

Since he assumes the duties of the court counselor, he should always play a role.After a period of time, let these elders, who have already been considered officials, judge the government affairs of the court as a person who has been there or a bystander.

The perspectives of being in power and not being in power are different, and the interest groups represented are also different.Some elders will only focus on accumulating fame after they become official, and will stand up for the interests of the pure country; some elders completely seek the interests of the family because they have no position; Seeing the clouds roll and the clouds relax, the situation changes.

Fortunately, Ge Lao is a bit old, if Zhao Xi hadn't taken such careful care of them, few of these old guys would be alive.In this way, Chen Shengzhi also passed away last year, and Zhang Fangping, who had a strong personality, was also lying on the sickbed.

Sima Guang, on the other hand, had no other distractions because he concentrated on compiling history.But Fu Bi's is because of his heart; Han Qi and Wen Yanbo absolutely live by their faces.

Han Jiang can't do it anymore, he seldom comes to the public house, resting at home, no longer worrying about the affairs of the court, just because of the relationship that his Han family has admired the official family from a long time ago, he also needs to bear it in the court , let alone Han Zhen.

"Counselors, the cabinet and I are very puzzled by the recent behavior of officials..."

Wang Anshi made a clear distinction between Ge Lao and counselors, and the titles are so clear.

Fu Bi didn't care, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo were a little unhappy, but Wang Anshi has been called this since the new term, so he got used to it.

He is seven or eighty years old, and he is not in court, nor does he have the desire to fight.

However, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo really look down on this cabinet...

"Are you wondering what extra seeds the officials are busy with during this time?"

Since Wen Yanbo entered the cabinet old man's home, he has talked more than when he was in the cabinet, and he seems to have lost a lot of taboos.

Wen Yanbo said this, and looked at these new cabinet ministers with disdain... He couldn't even understand the official's intentions, so how could he help the official?

However, it seems that the treacherous Lu Jifu is very disapproving, as well as the one from the Su family.

In this cabinet, Wen Yanbo also has a slight crush on Lu Huiqing...Of course, he will not admit that it is because he knows how to play tricks.

"That's true. Although the officials will not lose their minds by playing with things, such behaviors of the officials have created a bad impression on the court after all."

Wang Anshi is still very sincere.

Wang Anshi's personality is flawed, and his outstanding talent makes him somewhat selfish, or immersed in his own thinking.That's why he couldn't be as caring with officials as Fu Bi was.

Almost all talented people have this problem.

Since entering the old man's house, I will evaluate the new cabinet when I have nothing to do.
