[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Chapter 76 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (82)

It was the first time that the people of the Ji Dynasty understood the meaning of the word "changing with each passing day". Yesterday, they were still happy for the high-yielding potatoes and sweet potatoes. Today, they can go to the government office to get the latest corn and wheat, and each village can also receive the latest farm tools for free. , the strongest cattle.When it was time for the autumn harvest, the government government introduced new harvesting tools. While saving energy, the common people could harvest more grain. Unlike in the past, many tassels fell into the fields due to improper harvesting.

The imperial court compiled farming methods into books and distributed them to various places. Governments in various places arranged for people to learn, and at the same time promoted new farm tools and new crops.The bumper harvest of the farmland and the reduction of land tax have allowed the people to have more food in their homes and more time for them, so various workshops have been built in the suburbs of the city, such as cement workshops, brick workshops, grain processing workshops, etc., and even special workshops. Weaving workshops for women and large embroidery workshops.

With the establishment of the workshop, a special commercial area appeared, and many small restaurants appeared around the commercial area, and a food street was formed naturally.The exchanges of merchants allowed the money of the Ji Dynasty to flow, and also made the treasury more and more abundant.

In the first year of Ji Shengyan's accession to the throne, the revenue of the Ji Dynasty more than doubled. In the second year of his ascension, the Ji Dynasty established two large-scale grain bases, one in Modong outside the pass, and the other in Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River. The grain output of these two places alone is enough Feed half of the population of Ji Dynasty.In addition, the emergence of multiple ports along the coast, the establishment of the navy, the emergence of new sea ships, and the use of thermal weapons made the Ji Dynasty the overlord of the Eastern Sea.

The third year of Ji Shengyan's accession to the throne was the year of the imperial examination, but at this time the imperial examination had changed.Students who have obtained the honor of juren can take part in the general examination, and fill in the college after the results are out. After being admitted by the college, they can study in the college for three years before they can get the honor of Jinshi.Jinshi with excellent grades can take the official examination, and those who pass are hired by the imperial court.

Today, there are four most famous colleges in the Ji Dynasty, one is the Beijing Normal University College reorganized from the Imperial Academy, and the other is the Ji Dynasty Law College reorganized from the Taixue, both of which are in the capital.There are two remaining schools, one is Qucheng Business School, which was formed by the merger of four famous academies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Lin Yuzhou once studied in one of them. He is now an honor student of Qucheng Business School, and he is still attached to the school. portrait.The last academy was established specifically for training talents for the army, the Yanmen Martial Arts School, located in Jincheng.

The New Year of the Imperial Examination will be the best time for these four colleges to compete for students, and the capital city has also become a place for them to compete. Facing the four principals who are eyeing each other, even Lin Yuzhou has to avoid them.

It was early February, and the weather in the north was still very cold. Lin Cong pulled coal from the firewood shed and poured it into the coal stove.Now Lin Cong has been married for a year, and Xiao Hua is pregnant.

"Why did you wake me up now, I have to rush to help Sister Zijuan." Xiaohua's complaint came from the room.

Lin Cong smiled innocently: "The uncle said, if you are pregnant, don't go to the main courtyard to cause trouble. The girl and Jili are almost ready, it doesn't matter whether you go or not." Lin Yuzhou's title changed from "Big Brother" to "Grandpa".

"How can this be called adding to the chaos? I can also help embroider some things." Xiaohua was not happy, and after a while, she said again: "Miss and Ji, I don't know if Sister Liu Xu will come back in time."

"It should be possible. She will come back with Master Ruan." In the second year of Ji Shengyan's accession to the throne, Yanmen Martial Arts School was established in Jincheng. She is a well-known female general, and she is also one of the martial arts instructors of Yanmen Martial Arts School.

"You said that the girl is old enough, is she going to marry the fourth prince?" Xiaohua walked into the courtyard and asked worriedly.

Lin Cong was dumbfounded. Everyone in the Lin family was reluctant to marry the girl, but they also saw the fourth prince's hard pursuit. Marriage was rare. After nearly three years of investigation, the Lin family had already recognized the fourth prince. After the girl and Ji, it is estimated that Soon there will be a wedding.

Xiao Hua threw a piece of coal into the coal stove sullenly, "A few days ago, I heard from the storyteller in the teahouse that the ministers were urging the emperor to marry a wife and have children, and they also said that a country must not have an heir or an heir. Everyone is full!" The Lin family was very tight-lipped, and even if they knew about the relationship between Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan, they didn't spread rumors. My brother was bullied.

Lin Cong comforted: "Don't you know about my uncle's ability? He won't suffer any disadvantages, and I heard from my uncle yesterday that the matter about the heir will be settled this morning."

Xiao Hua raised her head and asked in confusion: "How to solve it?" Two men, how can they have a baby?

How to solve the heir issue, the courtiers also want to know, they are not fools, they have already noticed the relationship between the emperor and Ji Shengyan.In the past, I didn't talk about it because Ji Dynasty was in the midst of a change. There were too many things, and everyone had no energy. Now that Ji Dynasty is developing better and better, everyone has energy again. Of course, I hope that a Mingjun like Ji Shengyan can have an heir.

During this day's court meeting, Ji Shengyan's imperial decree made everyone dizzy.Ji Dynasty has an heir, he is not Ji Shengyan's son, but Ji Shengyan's younger brother, the fourth prince Ji Zhao, Ji Shengyan established the emperor's younger brother!

Facing the stunned ministers, Ji Shengyan raised his eyebrows: "What do you think of my chosen successor?"

Opinion?That's really not the case. The courtiers looked at Ji Zhao together. The ability of the fourth prince is obvious to all. He has participated in all aspects of the reform of the Ji Dynasty. He may be a little jerky in handling things, but this is not a big problem.Thinking that in the past three years, Emperor Qingsheng often took the fourth prince to work, and sometimes Lin Yuzhou would teach him in person. Did the two of them have such a plan long ago?What a kindness...prepare for a rainy day!

To be honest, the future successor of the Ji Dynasty is Ji Zhao, which reassures the courtiers. After all, no one dares to say that Ji Shengyan can really give birth to a son like him if he marries a wife and has children. .

"Your Majesty." Fu Chengguang stood up against everyone's gaze. He had no objection to the emperor's younger brother, but he did have an opinion on the emperor's younger brother's current situation. Thinking about Emperor Qingsheng's relationship status, he was worried that Ji Zhao would also have a problem. After imitating the example, he said: "His Royal Highness has come of age, and I suggest choosing a concubine for His Royal Highness."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Ji Zhao was dizzy all morning, and finally woke up, only to find that what he was facing was a forced marriage by courtiers, shouldn't this be what the second brother had to face?Why would it be transferred to yourself?

It's nothing to do with himself, Ji Shengyan propped his forehead and glanced at Ji Zhao to see how he would respond.

Ji Zhao also refused. He walked up to Lin Ruhai, saluted him as a junior, and said with his hands down, "I also ask Mr. Lin to fulfill it."

Lin Ruhai blushed in anger, the Ji family's ability to beat snakes and sticks became more and more powerful, what does Ji Zhao mean by this?Said in front of all the ministers that he liked his daughter, and then asked his colleagues to help him convince him to marry her?dream!

Seeing that Lin Ruhai wanted to vent his anger, Ji Shengyan asked Lu Shengrong to announce his resignation at the right time. After he left, all the courtiers watched Lin Ruhai leave with his sleeves, and Ji Zhao hurriedly followed.

The rising sun covered the imperial city with a layer of golden tulle, and the morning breeze seemed to carry the warmth of the sun.Standing at the door of the imperial study, Ji Shengyan took a deep breath of relief.

"The sea route to the west has been opened, are you going to go to sea?" Ji Shengyan asked Lu Shengrong.

Lu Shengrong bowed slightly, he didn't expect that Lin Yuzhou still remembered what he said that he could swim, and prepared him a chance to make contributions. "If you can help Ji Chao expand the business and promote the prestige of the country, it will be the honor of a servant." After learning about Lin Yuzhou's plan, Lu Shengrong has trained himself a lot. Occasionally he also participated in the training of the imperial army, all for the sake of riding the wind and waves in the future.

Ji Shengyan nodded, turned and walked into the imperial study.

Since Ji Shengyan ascended the throne, the palace has never entered the palace again, but a large number of them have been released. At the same time, he also stipulated that in the future, the royal family will not use eunuchs, and those who enter the palace, regardless of gender, must go through strict screening. The body must be kept intact.

After this regulation came out, it caused many shocks, but they were all detained by Ji Shengyan.Today, those who serve the royal family are no longer poor children who have nowhere to go, but the best in various industries. They have to go through layers of fighting to get the opportunity to work in the imperial city.

When Lin Yuzhou entered the imperial study room, he found Ji Shengyan leaning on the soft bed to rest.He relaxed his hands and feet and sat down beside him.

"Come?" Ji Shengyan closed his eyes and rested his head on Lin Yuzhou's lap, and said slowly, "Rub it."

Lin Yuzhou chuckled, and he reached out to rub Ji Shengyan's temples.

"The railway track line has been planned. When the steam engine is popularized, the railway track can be built." Lin Yuzhou said softly.This is a plan they have long thought of. The replacement of manpower by machinery will inevitably make many people unemployed. If it is not handled properly, it will cause national turmoil.The laying of railroad tracks requires a lot of manpower, which just transfers those who are excluded from the workshop by mechanization to the infrastructure construction, and transfers the contradiction between man and machine to preserve the overall situation.

Ji Shengyan took Lin Yuzhou's hand and pressed it to his face, "When are you leaving?"

Yes, they can leave now!Lin Yuzhou looked out the window. After staying in this world for such a long time, he almost forgot that they had missions.

After they changed the fate of the Ji Dynasty, great merit came from the heavens, and the heavens unblocked the space here, and they could leave at any time. The reason they are still here now is because he remembered the Lin family and was reluctant to part with his relatives, and Ji Shengyan was completely accommodating himself.

"Wait a little longer, we will leave when Ji Zhao ascends the throne," Lin Yuzhou said.

Ji Shengyan opened his eyes, he counted the time, the reform of Ji Dynasty has been carried out, no one can stop the pace of change, what Ji Zhao has to do is to stabilize the situation, he is competent now.

"I will always stay with you."

Seeing Ji Shengyan's seriousness, Lin Yuzhou put his forehead against his forehead and said softly, "I know." I know, we will always be together, forever and ever.

February [-]th is the Huachao Festival, which is also Lin Daiyu's birthday, and it is also her last birthday before she reaches Jiji.This birthday was very grand, the Lin family hosted a banquet, and all relatives and friends came to congratulate her.

After Ji Zhao expressed his heart, the courtiers all knew that Lin Daiyu was the concubine of the emperor's brother-in-law and the future queen. Their attitude towards the Lin family became very cautious, and the congratulatory gifts from all the government were extremely precious.

"Pearls from the East China Sea, emeralds from the west, and red corals from the deep sea are all treasures." After sorting out the congratulatory gifts, Madam Liu handed the gift list to Jia Min. No, now they are piled up in the warehouse and you can look at them at will.”

Lin Daiyu was not interested in these gold and jade antiques and emerald jewelry. She put down the ancient books in her hand and said softly: "Let them be neatly organized, and use them if they are useful. If they are useless, find a way to get them to the charity auction."

"Nonsense." Jia Min patted Lin Daiyu, "But your brother said that collecting treasures is also a science. The so-called gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times, nowadays antiques are more expensive than gold, so you have to keep them well. In this peaceful world, But the imperial court finally earned it."

Lin Daiyu covered her face with an ancient book and blinked at Jia Min.

Jia Min nodded Lin Daiyu's forehead: "I'm so used to you that you become more and more unruly."

"Rules? The rules in the back house are set by men for women." Lin Daiyu tapped her nose with the edge of a book, and said, "If you want me to say that from now on, the rules at home should be set by women."

"The more you talk, the more boundless it becomes." Jia Min tugged at Lin Daiyu's sleeve, "It's fine for the family to talk about it, but don't say it to the fourth prince... the emperor's younger brother."

Lin Daiyu was noncommittal.

Jia Min shook his head, changed the subject and said, "Next month's Shangsi Festival will be a good day for you and Ji. The Empress Dowager said she would be your guest of honor. A letter from Yuanchun said that she will return to Beijing around the end of the month."

After Ji Shengyan ascended the throne, he let the concubine of the harem go home. The concubine who returned home not only received a large amount of property from the royal family, but also remarried with this property.If the concubine takes the child away to raise, the royal family will pay for the money used for the child's growth, and the child can receive a sum of money from the royal treasury when he becomes an adult.

After Ji Shengyan promulgated this regulation, Jia Yuanchun applied to leave the palace. When she returned to Jia's house, the Qiushou case had been settled, and after confiscating the corpses of her elders, she took her younger siblings back to her hometown in Jinling.

"Cousin is going back to Beijing, will the others come too?" Lin Daiyu asked.

Jia Min shook her head: "Yuan Chun didn't say anything in the letter, she will know when she returns to Beijing."

Lin Daiyu put down the books in her hands, she couldn't catch up with the past, and only hoped that her relatives would be well in the future.
