It seems that I am still too full [travel]

The summer of the 12th year of Zhengzheng was an eventful time for the imperial court.In the past two years, there were major floods in the prefectures and counties along the Yellow River, which flooded countless good fields. Separatist southeast state county.Now after the beginning of spring, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are hit by a drought that has never happened in a century. Due to the ineffective relief of local state and county officials, the number of rebellious people has increased sharply, and the scope is so wide that it has shaken the foundation of the country...

In Qishui Palace, Xu Shouzhen was leaning on the dragon chair, through the shaking crown, one could see his complexion was dark, he was frowning and listening to the report of the courtiers and generals below.Compared to the high-spirited look a few months ago, he is obviously much more depressed now, with dark purple shadows under his eyelids, and several gullies between his brows.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's gang of officers and soldiers failed to attack our Hanyang City a while ago, but now they have assembled more troops, and they are attacking fiercely. The general thinks that in order to ensure that Hanyang and Xiangyang are not lost, we should send more troops!"

"Your Majesty, General Xiang Jia asked the man surnamed Han to be taken prisoner. Now the soldiers he recruited are clamoring in the barracks every day to ask Your Majesty to cast a spell to rescue their general, causing the soldiers in the camp to be in turmoil. What should we do?"

"Why did that trash surnamed Xiang save him! He took away so many troops from His Majesty, but not only failed to capture Raozhou, but was also appended by the thief surnamed Han. He lost tens of thousands of soldiers and a lot of luggage in vain! What are you talking about after the overlord of Chu has completely disgraced Jiang Dong's elders, and his soldiers still have the face to ask His Majesty to rescue him?"

There was also a general who had a good relationship with Xiang Jia who helped to speak, "General's words are wrong. This matter is all because Raozhou Zhou Yin is as cowardly as a mouse. He opened the city gate and surrendered to the Han thief first. General Xiang just fell into the trap. .”

At this time, a person strode in from outside the tent and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to save that Xiangjia. The scouts just came to report that Jianchang and Fuzhou have been taken by that ghost Rakshasa surnamed Han." , now we are facing enemies, not only the imperial court sent troops, but the man surnamed Han has also been attacking the city from east to south since he captured Raozhou. It can be seen that he is eyeing His Majesty's power. Collect troops and resist with millions of troops!"

When Xu Shouzhen heard this, his crooked body also sat up straight, and he said angrily, "Do soldiers and horses surnamed Han not need to rest? The speed is so fast! If so, then recruit again. I am a good man from the Xu family army." Could it be that they can't defeat the women's army in the south!"

As soon as this remark came out, the silent civil servants immediately exploded, and the prime minister Peng Yu came out to dissuade him: "Your Majesty must not! This year's severe drought has already halved the harvest, and the summer harvest will be half a month away. , the consequences will be disastrous, and the foundation of the country may be shaken!" The civil servant who spoke was a sensible person, not a military general who could only know crowd tactics.The reason is very simple. It is a disaster year, and the harvest will be halved. At that time, many people will starve to death. If the army is forced to be recruited, the only half of the food left in the field will not be harvested. At that time, there must be a civil uprising.

Speaking of the drought, a group of civil servants seem to have opened up the chatterbox——

The county magistrate of Qishui County, the so-called "Jing Zhaoyin", immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the drought is severe now, and many good fields in Qishui cannot be irrigated now. I am afraid that after the summer harvest, I will not be able to pay taxes according to the law. Can I reduce or exempt one or two?"

Xu Shouzhen got up, frowned and scolded, "A group of great Confucian advisers under the surname Han took refuge in him and advised him. You have been talking here for a long time, and you will not let me recruit soldiers, but also ask me to reduce taxes. How can I fight this battle! What are you going to do with the soldiers! What use do I need you for!" At the end of the speech, he became anxious, even forgetting the honorific title "Zhen".

As soon as he got angry, the hall that was originally like a vegetable market immediately became much quieter. Even Peng Yu, the trusted prime minister in the past, lowered his eyebrows and did not say a word.

Xu Shouzhen looked around, and saw that all the people below were like quails, and he never contradicted himself. Only then did he regain the feeling of being the only one who is the emperor, and he calmed down a little, and sat back on the dragon chair again, with a deep voice. Said: "Don't worry about the surname Han for the time being. Now Fujian and its surrounding areas are also suffering from drought. I don't believe that he dares to raise his troops to fight us. Peng Xiang, you will recruit tens of thousands of soldiers from places that have not been affected by the disaster. First, concentrate on dealing with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. , that’s a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and they haven’t been beaten at all!”

Xu Shouzhen will swear by this, but he doesn't know that in order to completely suppress the forces of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court has made a real move this time, recruiting not only local officers and soldiers, but also the elite troops of the capital, plus the leadership of brave veterans. This battle was unusual.

------------

Outside, there was a raging wind and a raging war, but the Dongcang Academy in Le County was full of books and peace.

Fu Yu poked Han Ning beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this Song Ziming from Rongshan Academy? Why did he come to Dongcang? His teacher didn't want him anymore, and he was kicked out?"

Han Ning glanced at the figure in the front left, and replied lightly: "According to Mr., I came here for an exchange study, not to stay in the academy for a long time."

Gao Rui was puzzled, "Brother Han, what is an exchange study? Is it possible that we can also study at Rongshan Academy?"

Han Ning nodded, "That's right. After the lecture, at the suggestion of Mr. Rongshan Academy, we reached an agreement with our college that they can send students to exchange and study for about half a year." He didn't expect that, The head of Rongshan sent Song Ziming, his favorite student, to exchange.

Fu You sneered in a low voice, and complained: "It's cheap for them. I used to look down on us so much, saying that our academy's theory is not correct, it's heresy, but now I see that our academy is flourishing, everyone gathers, and immediately want to come to our academy exchange!"

Han Ning stopped him, "Don't be unreasonable, Mr. said, learning should be inclusive and inclusive. For Song students, we should welcome them kindly."

Fu You pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly. Now Xie Shi is the god in the hearts of these students. What Mr. Xie said, let alone Han Ning, even Fu You absolutely respected it.

"Well, although he is very arrogant, since the head of the mountain said it, then I will definitely not bully him."

Han Ning took advantage of the situation and said: "Sir, let us bring him into the team, do you wish?"

In the small experimental classroom Xie Shi opened, the assessment method was completely copied from modern universities, and students were required to form teams to do group assignments.Everyone else formed a team early on. Song Ziming, as a transfer student, naturally no one cared about him.

Cai Hua on the side has always been a kind person, so he will be the first to nod his head: "Since Student Song entered the school halfway, it is normal that he can't find a group member to do the experiment in the Gezhi class of the mountain leader. No problem."

Gao Shui frowned, "Song Ziming has no foundation after all, I'm afraid it will slow him down."

Han Ning patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. will also give us more advice." Gao Shu didn't intend to refuse at all, but when he heard that he could get the treatment of the head of the mountain with a tow bottle, he immediately agreed. After agreeing, even looking at Song Ziming was much pleasing to the eye.

Song Ziming was surprised when he received the invitation. He applied for his visit to Dongcang this time with his teacher. His teacher Shao Shanchang disagreed at first, but later learned that the students were attracted by Xie Shi's experimental class. He had no choice but to let him go, and let his favorite student become the first "exchange student". After all, even he went to Dongcang's lecture meeting, and he was very curious about the scientific way of Xie Xiaosheng. According to Xie Shi, that is "the three views have been refreshed".

Rongshan Academy and Dongcang Academy have always been at odds. When Song Ziming came here, he was already prepared to be isolated. He never expected to be invited, and the person who invited him was Han Ning, who was valued by Mr. Xie Shan. , Song Ziming changed his mind, he already understood that this was probably ordered by Xie Shanzhang, and he felt more and more ashamed of his previous behavior of holding "prejudice" against Xie Shanzhang.

"Thank you to my classmates. Ziming will try his best to keep up with everyone's progress and try not to lag behind." Song Ziming finally said.

"It's okay," Han Ning replied lightly, "This is the order of the mountain chief, and we will try our best to help you." So if you want to thank us, thank our mountain chief, Xie Shanchang's number one fan hinted.

In Mei Zhai's study room, Xie Shi was approving documents when an attendant came in quietly from outside and said: "Officer, Chef Wu from the canteen of the academy is asking to see you."

Xie Shi raised his head when he heard the words, wondering why Wu Bai was looking for him, "Let him in."

Since Xie Shi became the head of the academy, he naturally couldn't be the chef of the cafeteria anymore, so he promoted Wu Bai, who has always been reliable in his work, to the head chef, and those skilled in cooking, such as You Sishui, became the sous chefs.Wu Bai stepped into the study cautiously, this was his first time here.

Meizhai was built by the Han family back then, strictly speaking it was Han Ji's private residence, and Wu Bai and other subordinates naturally couldn't set foot here without serious business.After Han Ji left, he did not take away all the servants. Everyone thought that Meizhai should be vacant, but not long after, the new Shanzhang Xie came in at will and worked permanently in Meizhai. The original servants of the Han family turned a blind eye and continued to serve...

Everyone: I'm so confused...

"But what happened to the cafeteria?" Xie Shi was busy with rice cultivation and drought prevention after the lecture, so he hadn't paid attention to the cafeteria for a long time, so he met Wu Bai to ask, thinking that something went wrong.

Wu Bo waved his hands again and again, clasped his palms together and rubbed them together, "Since the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, I came to ask you whether the academy will continue to donate zongzi this year, and the types of zongzi should remain the same?"

Xie Shi was in a daze for a moment, he was so busy that he almost forgot about the Dragon Boat Festival.The Dragon Boat Festival is here, and it will be almost a year since he came to this world. It is obviously only a year, but it seems that a long time has passed, and there are many incredible encounters. Looking back on the past, the corners of Xie Shi's mouth raised unnaturally.

"Since the academy had the custom of giving alms in previous years, let's keep it this year." Xie Shi thought for a while, and added, "Let's add some more this year, and I will pay the extra money." Wu Bai agreed.

Xie Shi asked again: "What kinds of zongzi did the Academy have in the past?"

"The stuffing of Zongzi is usually stuffed with jujube, chestnut, dried persimmon, walnut, ginkgo, red bean, ginger, musk, etc., or sugar, and then wrapped with bamboo leaves or coriander leaves. Oh, yes, my lord. , There is also a kind of mugwort zongzi, which is made of mugwort leaves soaked in glutinous rice and wrapped with nothing inside, this kind of zongzi is eaten a lot by ordinary people.” After all, most of the people come from ordinary backgrounds, so of course they eat more vegetarian zongzi.

At this time, the zongzi were all sweet-mouthed zongzi. Could it be that the common people in the Mongolian Dynasty did not have sweet and salty parties to eat zongzi?Xie Shi felt extremely surprised, so he asked a question that surprised Wu Bai, "Are there no meat and salty rice dumplings?"

Wu Bai's tone was difficult, with a bitter expression on his face. Obviously, Xie Shi's strange taste made him unacceptable: "My lord, I have been a cook for more than 30 years, and I have never heard of zongzi filled with meat, glutinous rice with meat, Isn't this a meal?"

Xie Shi got excited for a while, "Oh, this is not possible, salty rice dumplings are not inferior to sweet rice dumplings, and even have a lot more flavor than sweet rice dumplings!" That's right, Xie Shanchang is a 100% salty rice dumpling party!After making salty glutinous rice balls in ancient times, he is going to develop salty rice dumplings...
