Zhao Shutong stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a while, and gradually mixed with the people around him.

He, Xie Qi, Li Xiu, Wang Ya and others often got together to talk about people's livelihood and political affairs, and he also got along with a few people who were not good at words and devoted themselves to doing things.

The daily task is to study, discuss and hand in homework, and my life is very fulfilling.

Wang Ya is extremely enthusiastic about Zhao Shutong.

I often lament with Zhao Shutong that many people have no land and can only rent and grow the land of the landlord’s family to become tenant farmers. They cannot use all their energy in production, resulting in too little production for the people.However, there are too many miscellaneous taxes and levies, and most of the people cannot survive every time they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters.However, the rich are already very rich but still hide their land and steal the country's wealth. This is really a cancer that grows on the country.

The high-yield sweet potato discovered by Zhao Shutong solved the urgent need of the people, but it was only enough to survive and could not fundamentally solve this problem.

Of course, Zhao Shutong never thought that sweet potatoes could solve so many problems. In the feudal era, the representative figures of land annexation were large and small landlords. In modern times, they are represented by large and large real estate companies. Both are more.Until the end of the world, the land issue was not completely resolved.After the apocalypse, the order collapsed, and although the land could not be planted temporarily, when scientists found a solution, the land must be in the hands of major forces, and it was basically impossible for civilians to own it.

Sometimes Wang Ya would send a post to Zhao Shutong, discussing with Zhao Shutong that the donation of officials by Yin officials led to a bloated team of court officials, and it was unfair for the people to pay more money to support these people, but they could not afford to support their parents, wives and children.

"The grace system has allowed many people who are vegetarians to occupy high positions, and those who are really talented may have to be subordinate to them and listen to their orders. Or, they will be trapped in the city and the countryside for a lifetime without ambition." Wang Ya sighed.

"Brother Wang, think about it the other way around. Officials have made contributions to the people of the court, and the court allows them to use their credit to protect their children. This is also a reward for those who have dedicated themselves to the court and the people. It can inspire all adults to be diligent in political affairs and benefit the people. "Zhao Shutong said, in fact, this is a matter of pros and cons, but generally speaking, the cons outweigh the pros.

"Brother Zhao, you are confused. If you have a certain rank, you can seek officials for your heirs. Even if the position is empty, there will be situations where officials fall for positions. Official families have more resources than us poor students who started at a higher level. They Occupying a position in the court and the opposition, when will a poor student have a bright future? If the imperial court selects scholars only by family background, not by knowledge, ability and character, the country is in danger."

"Brother Wang is far-sighted, and I can't match it." Zhao Shutong admitted his mistake to Wang Ya.

Wang Ya discussed these sensitive topics with him several times. Zhao Shutong knew that this person was really concerned about the country and the people, but in the game of profit distribution in the officialdom, one side must gain and one side will suffer.Wang Ya complained for the disadvantaged family, but most of the disadvantaged families entered the officialdom with the title of gold list, and most of them spontaneously chose to enter this profit distribution to pursue fame and fortune and enjoy the benefits, and only a few turned around to fight for the benefits of the disadvantaged family.Although the existing system has various drawbacks, it does not fit all.

Zhao Shutong was in a delicate mood, Wang Ya seemed to trust him too much.

"Brother Zhao made an appointment with Brother Wang yesterday." The next day, Xie Qi met Zhao Shutong and asked him.

"Exactly."

"Brother Wang talked about Enyin with Zhao Shutong."

"He's looking for you too." Zhao Shutong asked Xie Qi.

"Brother Wang intends to emulate Wang Shenzhi's political affairs and open a new chapter for Da Qi." Xie Qi said.

There is no such official position in this dynasty. Zhao Shutong thought for a while before he realized that this is not the title that Shenzong granted him as deputy prime minister when Wang Anshi reformed.

Zhao Shutong now understands that Wang Ya intends to follow Wang Anshi's reform.

"Brother Xie was persuaded by Brother Wang." Zhao Shutong wanted to ask Xie Qi what he thought.

Xie Qi shook his head, although he wanted to do some practical things for the people, but even though he was born in a side branch of the Ruyang Marquis Mansion, he was also a beneficiary of the system, and he had no reason to attack his own family.Furthermore, reform is something that offends people, and if one is not careful, his family will be ruined and his family will be destroyed, which does not match the style of the Ruyang Marquis Mansion.If Xie Qi dared to have this thought, he would be dealt with by the master's family before he took action.

"Many people know that brother Zhao almost fell into the top three in the palace examination."

Xie Qi came to find Zhao Shutong just to tell him about this matter, and the reason why Wang Ya came to Zhao Shutong was because of the glamorous article written by Zhao Shutong during the imperial examination, and wanted to win over Zhao Shutong.

At that time, the chief examiner, Hubu Shangshu, wanted to put Zhao Shutong in the top three on the grounds that the article was flashy.

The emperor thought for a long time and said that this is the scene of Datong society, and then put Zhao Shutong into the second class.

Wang Ya probably heard about this from somewhere, so he thought that Zhao Shutong could understand his ambition, and wanted to persuade Zhao Shutong to plan reform with him.

"Thank you brother for reminding me, I'm afraid I will disappoint brother Wang's kindness." Zhao Shutong said.

Just the issue of land annexation will offend the powerful and wealthy families across the country, and the problem of private officials is even more serious, offending the top group of people in this society, even some idle clans.Even if Zhao Shutong came from the end of the world and was a bold man with high skills, he didn't have the confidence that he could protect his family from daily assassinations.

However, Da Qi was not so weak that he urgently needed reforms to save himself, and Zhao Shutong did not find out from the emperor's policies that he had the idea of ​​reforms. It is impossible to implement it, it is wishful thinking at best, not to mention killing your own life, it may be another toss for the people.

"So, it's better for Brother Zhao to stay away from Brother Wang." Xie Qi never speaks ill of others behind their backs, but he couldn't help reminding Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Shutong thanked Xie Qi for his kindness and thanked Xie Qi.

The apocalypse made him regret his life, and he had passed the age of youth, so he would not do these bloody, sweaty and tearful things just because of a few words from others.

The rise and fall of dynasties, land annexation has always existed, and officials have been greedy. This is already a cancer engraved in the blood of feudal society. With the alternation of dynasties, it periodically changes from mild to serious, from incorruptible to corrupt, and then overthrown by others. Rebuild new, and repeat.Has no one seen this shortcoming? Someone must have seen it, but it can't be solved fundamentally.In order to promote the integration of government and people, Emperor Yongzheng has attracted countless infamy and ridicule. Zhao Shutong does not think that the current emperor has the courage to do these things.

Zhao Shutong thought it was not surprising that his father-in-law could see the restlessness in his behavior, but now someone guessed that there was a sign of reform in his heart based on just a few clues, Zhao Shutong felt that he should be cautious in his words and deeds and keep a low profile.

He didn't think about reform, but his ideas were reactionary and incompatible with this era, and a little exposure could be interpreted infinitely.Zhao Shutong doesn't care much about power, he thinks that he can put on a show and live out his life, and then do some real things.

One day, the bachelor attendant who was giving lectures to their concubine called Zhao Shutong alone, saying that the emperor had ordered Zhao Shutong to be the attendant in three days, so that Zhao Shutong would be ready.

The ministers are officially held in rotation by the Imperial Academy, and there are very few selected scholars. Zhao Shutong gained some limelight once the emperor named him.

Several classmates spoke ill of Zhao Shutong in private.

"Some people are really lucky. Finding a sweet potato can make the emperor remember it in his heart. He will think of him for all good things."

"He can even seduce his own students, so he must have used some kind of magic trick to deceive the emperor."

Seeing the stupidity of these few people, the surrounding Shu Jishi classmates began to alienate them one after another, and they didn't even bother to persuade them.

Don't these idiots take credit for discovering sweet potatoes?

No matter what is going on with Zhao Shutong and his husband, but the emperor bestowed a marriage, this is a golden marriage, even if you don't like it in your heart, you have to praise them as a match made in heaven.

The Sweet Potato Empress has a very wide reputation among the people. If the common people know that you are slandering the Sweet Potato Empress, every mouthful of saliva will drown you.

Such vision and mind will definitely not go far in the future.

It's better to get away from them earlier.

Zhao Shutong didn't know what happened among his classmates and was preparing for this lecture.

The last time the emperor selected the champion of this year to tell him about party struggles, and last time he chose Pei Han, a Tanhualang, to talk about his relatives' involvement in politics. Now it's his turn to teach the people farming and arboriculture from Houji The five grains began to sort out the development of agriculture.

For this reason, Zhao Shutong read a lot of books on agriculture, and it took him two whole nights to sort out a complete context.

Zhao Shutong was led to meet the emperor by the father-in-law in the palace that afternoon.

"I pay homage to the emperor."

"rise."

"Zhao Aiqing is good at discovering good seeds, how much does she know about the advantages and disadvantages of Daqi's current grain cultivation?"

Although the emperor did not follow the draft, Zhao Shutong still took care of Daqi's agricultural planting in the past two days, and he was not stage frightened when the emperor asked him.

Zhao Shutong first talked about the current situation of Daqi's agricultural cultivation, and then proposed to build water conservancy to minimize the dependence of agriculture on the weather, send people to study crop diseases, and the imperial court organized personnel to select insect-resistant and disease-resistant varieties, and then spread them among the people.What Zhao Shutong said is already commonplace.

But the emperor still listened carefully to Zhao Shutong's explanation.

After Zhao Shutong finished speaking, "Aiqing has her own unique views on farming, which is very good. Director Chen of the Department of Agricultural Sciences wants to discuss with you about planting sweet potatoes and corn. I asked you to come here. I invite Aiqing to come, too. I want to give Aiqing a try and find out whether it is a real talent to learn about the high-yield grains, or is it purely accidental. In two days, Director Chen will find you to go to Sinongsi. If you can research all aspects of corn as soon as possible I will definitely reward you heavily for the method of habit cultivation, and I ask Ai Qing to know everything about Director Chen."

In fact, the real situation is that Director Chen wants to ask the emperor to assign Zhao Shutong to him to farm.

But the emperor felt that Zhao Shutong's talent was not only in farming, but also in making money for him, so he only agreed to lend Zhao Shutong to him for a few days.

He also reminded Zhao Shutong that if things are done well, he will reward him, and let Zhao Shutong not hide his secrets because of credit.

"The minister obeys the order."

"With the presence of my lovers, when I am in power, I will be able to realize that there will be no more hunger for the people in the world."

Zhao Shutong felt the ambition of the emperor.

"The emperor misses the people so much, and the people will work together to make this day come sooner." Zhao Shutong flattered, "I dare to ask, what will the emperor do when there is no more famine in the world."

"Knowing etiquette in granaries, and knowing honor and disgrace when there is enough food and clothing, it is natural to educate the people." The emperor said.

Peacefulness?Night life?Wine pond meat forest?

This is impossible.

If you are an emperor for a day, you must work conscientiously for the country and the country, and you must not be greedy for enjoyment.

"It's the great Qi's blessing that the emperor thinks so." Zhao Shutong praised the emperor.

"Okay, don't flatter me, it's the right thing to help Director Chen to study the sweet potato and corn for me." The emperor doesn't think it's a big deal for others to flatter him, and he is happy to hear people try their best to praise him, but this When Zhao Aiqing flattered him, the emperor always felt that what he said was against his will.

He is very picky eater, not sincere flatterer, too lazy to listen.

The author has something to say:

The first watch, the second watch owes first, ahem.

Tomorrow we will be repairing the circuit and the network will be cut off, and the update will be at night.
