imprinted you in my heart

"Show the emperor, Xinlan Province six hundred miles urgently" The urgent secret letter of six hundred miles and above must be presented to the emperor in person at the first time, and it will be delayed if it exceeds one hour.

Chengtian Hall, which was originally full of voices, fell silent instantly with the entry of messengers, but the ministers were anxious and guessed wildly.

Shi Yan, who was sitting on the top, frowned slightly, and stretched it instantly, covering his face so that people could not see his expression clearly, but the voice of "presenting it up" did not change at all, without any ups and downs.

Lu Guanchu, who was standing by the side, took the order to go down and took up the letter box. After carefully checking that it was correct, he opened it in front of everyone, and presented the undamaged letter to His Majesty. The eyes of the ministers below followed the letter. move.

After receiving the letter, she didn't open it immediately, but checked it again, and then tore it open after making sure it hadn't been touched by anyone. After three years of constant contact and exploration, she could tell if it had been touched by one check.

The secret letter was first written in Xinlan Province. It was not the nobles' rebellion or the peasant uprising as guessed by the ministers, but all the scholars in Xinlan Province gathered to make trouble and openly resisted the newly promulgated "New Corvette Taxation System" by the imperial court.

The ministers who stared at him motionlessly saw that His Majesty hadn't responded for a long time, and felt even more anxious. It was like a monkey scratching an itch. You can't blame them for being too stupid. The shape and color are too good.

Shi Min, who had been reading for a while, did not let go of the curious, worried or gloating expressions of the ministers below, and finally decided to satisfy their curiosity, and handed the letter to Lu Guanchu, motioning her to read it out.

As Lu Guanchu spoke at an even speed, the surprise on the faces of the ministers became more and more serious. Because scholars with fame have always been given special preferential treatment, it is almost rare for scholars to make trouble against the court. It's honorable, noble, or peasant, but I didn't expect to be a scholar.

"You've heard it all, is there a way to deal with it?" Shi Min already had a plan in mind, but he still wanted to hear the thoughts of the ministers as usual.

"Qi Zou the emperor, I think the most urgent thing is to send troops to calm down as soon as possible, bring the rioters to justice, and pave the way for the implementation of the New Deal in Xinlan Province." Yun Chu, now the well-deserved No.1 in the court, is in his early sixties, but full of energy and radiant.

There are currently three people in the Military Secret Office, apart from Gu Yunchou, who is outstanding in martial arts and martial arts, there are Marquis Wu Fu, Qi Ming, and Tai Baobao Bumin. The former commander of the Foreign Imperial Army was replaced by Mulan Yu.

"Qizou Your Majesty, all dynasties have been generous to scholars to show that the court cherishes and loves talents. I suggest that we should focus on appeasement and fix the hearts of scholars all over the world." Shi Min was not surprised to make such a suggestion.

"Qi Zou the emperor, I believe that the New Deal should be implemented immediately, and should not be abandoned halfway because of troubles caused by scholars. If necessary, tough measures can be taken to pave the way for the smooth implementation of the New Deal, and secondly, to let the people of the world see His Majesty's determination to reform." Yan Yinuo, who climbed up step by step, deeply understands His Majesty's new policy for the country and the people, and she will never allow anyone to destroy it, not to mention scholars, even her children.

"Qi Zou the emperor, that is to say, scholars should know the law and abide by the law, so as not to waste the heart of the court's cultivation, but all the scholars in Xinlan Province know the law and break the law, they can't see the law, they simply don't pay attention to the emperor, they are disloyal and disregard their families Anwei, it is unintentional to gather people rashly to make trouble. Such disloyal and unintentional people are not worthy of being the pillars of our Great China Empire. They should be severely punished to stop this trend." Duan Yunjie, Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, spoke fiercely, and his attitude is self-evident.

Because of Gu Yunchou's active leadership, and because the matter involved the interests of the majority of people, officials of the third rank and above all made speeches one after another, some demanding severe punishment, and some being appeased. Most of them followed suit, but they didn't necessarily think so in their hearts.

Before the implementation of the New Deal, as long as the scholars were well-known and famous, they were not only subsidized, but also exempted from various kinds, and even the whole family was exempted, so that many big landlords listed their land properties in their names in order to avoid taxes.

If it wasn't for Xing Boen's secret letter to inform her of the situation, she would have been kept in the dark. A famous scholar is like this. One can imagine that it came from the land property newspaper under the names of nobles with official positions and nobles with titles. There may be only a few, so the New Deal specifically stipulates the number of acres of land that people with different titles, different grades and different achievements can be exempted from tax and the scope of exemption from corvee.

The previous family has shrunk to 1-10 people, and the subsidies and available servants have also been appropriately reduced, and the available servants of honorable officials and officials have also been appropriately reduced. If you say that the scholar's disturbance this time is purely a scholar's disturbance , she absolutely does not believe it.

The New Deal has been implemented for more than a few months, and similar things have not happened in other places. It happened at this time in Xinlan Province, which is not far from Fandu. I don't believe it.

Shi Min walked down from Feng's seat and stood on the edge of the steps, "As long as I am in power, the New Deal must be implemented. There is no need to discuss this matter. Whoever opposes is my enemy, and the entire Dahua Empire. I will never forgive you lightly." The words fell on the floor and fell into the ears and hearts of all the ministers. All scholars who participated in gathering crowds to make trouble, those who have merit will be expelled from the examination, and they will not be allowed to take the exam again for life, and those who have no honor will also be barred from taking the scientific examination for life, and the reason for passing must be checked clearly.”

The right governor Yan Yinuo and the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who had been named as "Chen Lingzhi", came out to salute.

"The matter of the cabinet ministers will be discussed in another day, and the court will be withdrawn." The cabinet ministers are different from the military secret ministers. They have almost no real power. They are equivalent to the emperor's office. She does not intend to choose all of them from the current court.

"Respectfully send off the emperor" Everyone thought that the cabinet ministers and the military secretaries had the same glory. They thought that today's meeting would be decided, and those who had hope were already eager to try. They didn't expect to be stranded by the incident in Xinlan Province, and they were a little disappointed.

August is the harvest month of the year, and it is also the happiest and most anticipated month for the people who depended on the sky for food in ancient times. Since the first year of Tianfu, no major natural disasters have occurred in Huaguo, and it can be regarded as good weather and good harvests.

The secret letters and memorials of the ministers often wrote like this, but Shi Min just laughed it off.She can't go to distant places, but she can still go and see if she can go back and forth within a day.

Until she saw the large golden rice fields in front of her, the farmers were busy harvesting, the children were playing and playing, the rice fields that had been harvested had chickens and ducks looking for food, and the pastoral dogs were barking at them, she smiled. .

Lu Guanchu and Zuo Xuan, who were accompanying them, saw His Majesty smiling so happily for the first time, without a trace of coercion or restraint. Happy.

This time, Shi Min didn't pretend to be a businessman, and he only brought Lu Guanchu, Zuo Xuan, an inner guard and a horse woman, and walked northward after leaving the north gate, doing it rashly, stopping wherever he wanted Stop, no plan, no destination.

Stopping and stopping along the way, she saw a lot of busy farming scenes, so real and so untouchable.While drinking tea at a roadside teahouse on the way, a pair of grandparents left a deep impression on her.

The grandfather should be 80 to [-] years old, and the granddaughter is only [-] or [-] years old. Both of them are wearing bunts and straw sandals, and the cloth shoes are hanging on their shoulders. Although their faces are tired, their eyes are full of hope. At first, they only need a pot of tea. Although I was hungry, I was very sensible. I just looked at the buns on the next table from time to time, and my grandpa happened to see them. Grandpa was very embarrassed, but he still ordered two buns in the end.

Although I was very curious about their past and their purpose, everyone's life is a parallel line. Since it can't be intervened for a lifetime, it's better not to intervene, but when they left to check out, she still asked Lu Guanchu to help them pay the bill together.

When returning home, Shi Min’s mind was full of straw sandals. The last time I went to Luwan Village, most people wore straw sandals on a daily basis. She asked whether there were no cloth shoes or clogs. , usually to go to the market or to participate in important occasions will wear.

Moreover, most people would still wear straw sandals on the way there, and would not find a place with a source of water to wash their feet and change their shoes until they reached their destination. Luxury.

Lu Guanchu and Zuo Xuan, who were sitting on the left and right sides of Shi Min, saw her closing their eyes and resting their minds, and they both kept silent. One lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about, while the other looked vigilant and tense, paying attention to movements at all times.

Shi Min suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Say, straw sandals, are they easy to wear?".

Lu Guanchu, who was thinking about his family, was almost questioned, but fortunately he subconsciously raised his head, and said after a while: "The minister passed through, except for the rocky ground, everything else is fine."

"I haven't worn it, but judging by the way they walk, it should be okay." Although I don't know why His Majesty asked this suddenly, Zuo Xuan still told the truth.

Shi Min was thoughtful when she heard the words, she had never worn straw sandals in either the previous life or the present life, and was about to say something, when the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Don't be impatient, Your Majesty, I will take a look," Zuo Xuan asked His Majesty for instructions. "Well, let's go." After getting His Majesty's permission, she immediately got out of the carriage to check.

A piece of thick wood was blocked between the bushy official roads on both sides. The branches and leaves were still there, and the breaks were uneven. There was also a lump of black stuff lying there.

They were about to step forward to take a closer look at what it was, when they were taken aback by the black thing that stood up suddenly, and then saw a black dog, baring its teeth at them, as if it was ready to pounce at any time.

Zuo Xuan, who was afraid that she would rush to bite someone, directly pulled out the knife. The black dog seemed to know the danger and turned around. Just when she thought that the black dog would run away, the black dog suddenly turned around and ran into the carriage. ?
