The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Wang Anshi proposed his reforms to Song Renzong, but not all of them were approved.

Song Renzong also felt that the reforms proposed by Wang Anshi were very good, but as Zhao Yang said, many of them were impractical.However, not all of Wang Anshi's reforms can be used, and some of them can still be used.

For things that can be used, Song Renzong did not hesitate, and immediately decreed to implement them.Of course, those unusable content, such as the young crop method, were discarded.

The reform was thought up by Wang Anshi after more than ten years of accumulated experience. It can be said to be his life's painstaking efforts, even though he has only passed half of his life.

After a lifetime of painstaking efforts, two-thirds of the content could not be used, and only one-third of the content was adopted. This must have been a big blow to Wang Anshi.However, he was convinced about the content that was not adopted, without any complaints, because he didn't think carefully.

Wang Anshi did not give up the reform, he decided to put forward a new reform.Of course, the new reform must be modified on top of the old reform.

For the new reform, Wang Anshi decided to go to other places to work again.He felt that the reforms he mentioned earlier could not be fully implemented, because he had visited fewer places and did not know enough about the people and the local yamen.

Song Renzong saw that Wang Anshi was determined to go to work in other places, so he had to agree to him.However, we have to wait until the end of the imperial examinations this year.

Wang Anshi originally planned to wait until his son finished the imperial examination before going to work in other places.

Wang Pangpang was not surprised at all that his father was going to work in other places.Even if his father doesn't apply to go abroad this year, he will definitely apply next year.

In the past few years, his father stayed in Bianjing City and did not go to work in other places, mainly because his sister was too young.Now that his sister is older, his father will not stay in Bianjing City anymore.

Wang Anshi stayed in Bianjing for three years, but he still didn't like staying in Bianjing to do errands.The city of Bianjing is too prosperous, and it is of little help to understand the hardships and hardships of the people at the bottom.He still likes to go to other places, walk in the fields, understand the situation of the local people, and find ways to make them live a better life.

Zhao Yang still appreciates a doer like Wang Anshi very much.If the ministers really do things for the people like him, then the life of the people will be much easier.

Speaking of observing people's sentiments.When Wang Pangpang took the college entrance examination, Zhao Yang took the civil servants and officials to spring plowing outside Bianjing.

Two years ago, Song Renzong handed over spring plowing to Zhao Yang, and asked him to take spring plowing with all civil and military officials, but he and Empress Cao did not show up.

It's not that Song Renzong and Empress Cao wanted to be lazy and not go to spring plowing.But in order to let Zhao Yang win the hearts of the people, they completely entrusted him with the matter of spring plowing.

Every year, Zhao Yang not only takes the civil and military ministers to plow in spring, but also takes them to harvest in autumn.

During spring plowing, Zhao Yang and his ministers plowed the land and transplanted rice seedlings.

During the autumn harvest, Zhao Yang led the ministers to cut and beat the rice.

By the way, Zhao Yang often took the ministers to weed and deworm the rice fields.

Because His Royal Highness often takes them to do farming work, the ministers are now very good at plowing the land, transplanting rice seedlings and weeding.

Not only that, the students of Taixue and other schools also know a lot about farming.

In recent years, Taixue has also trained many students who are proficient in farming.

Seeing that many students were good at farming, Zhao Yang set up a department called the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Ministry of Agriculture belongs to the Ministry of Households and is in charge of agricultural affairs.

Those who are proficient in farming do not need to take the imperial examination, as long as they pass the examination of the agricultural department, they can work in the Ministry of Agriculture.

In the past two or three years, there have been more and more officials in the agricultural sector.Of course, it cannot be compared with other departments.

In addition to the Ministry of Agriculture set up by the imperial court, the government offices in various places also set up Ministry of Agriculture.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, things in farming have gone much smoother.However, the three-season rice that Zhao Yang was thinking about was still unsuccessful.

Zhao Yang was not discouraged when he couldn't grow three seasons of rice, and asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Agriculture to continue to study.

Zhao Yang also asked craftsmen from the Ministry of Agriculture to make fertilizer.He originally wanted to get out chemical fertilizers, but there are too many mineral elements needed in chemical fertilizers. At present, Song Dynasty does not have the technology to get out magnesium and zinc.

Chemical fertilizers cannot be produced, but fertilizers can.It is still possible to use animal manure, rotten grass, and rotten flowers as fertilizers.

Speaking of the animal manure needed for fertilizer, Zhao Yang suddenly thought of the biogas digester.

The digester is a good thing, and it is very convenient after it is done, he has never thought of it.

After Zhao Yang thought of the digester, he told the craftsmen of Huangcheng Division about the principle of the digester, and then asked them to do it and test it.

After handing over the matter of the biogas digester to the craftsmen of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Yang stopped paying attention to it.These days, he is busy transforming the chariot.

On the battlefield, in addition to riding horses, chariots are also needed.Besides, the big |cannon he made needs to be transported by a chariot.

Zhao Yang started to study the chariots of the Qin Dynasty, and then he really researched something.However, due to limited technology, the new chariot he produced was also very bulky, and it was definitely incomparable with the cars of later generations.

"The industrial revolution..." Zhao Yang muttered to himself.

He really wants to bring out the industrial revolution, but the current situation in Song Dynasty is really not suitable.However, without the industrial revolution, many technologies will not be used.

Zhao Yang thought over and over again, and decided to get the steam engine out first.As for the industrial revolution, we will talk about it later.

Many of the things he wants to produce must be produced by steam engines.

Regarding the steam engine, he had never studied it in his previous life, but only read about it in history books.It is not easy for him to make it now.However, he still knew about the principle of steam engine operation.

Zhao Yang drew the picture of the steam engine and explained its principle to the craftsmen of the Imperial City Division.

The craftsmen of the Imperial City Division were naturally shocked when they heard this.

Over the years, they have often made things that His Highness the Crown Prince came up with, but every time they were "scared".

Every time, what His Highness the Prince came up with would surprise them.However, not long after, His Royal Highness thought of something else, which surprised them again.

The craftsmen of the Imperial City Department often discuss in private how His Royal Highness came up with these rare and very convenient good things.

Over the years, Zhao Yang has been asking the Imperial City Division to recruit all kinds of skilled craftsmen across the country.Today, there are many craftsmen in the Imperial City Department, and they are good at various aspects.

Because the Ministry of Industry also needs craftsmen, this has led to the fact that the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial City Division have been very close over the years.It is no exaggeration to say that the Ministry of Industry is almost becoming the Department of the Imperial City.

On this day, Zhao Yang went down to Funing Palace, preparing to review the letter with Song Renzong.

"Cough cough cough cough..." A few days ago, Song Renzong suffered from some cold and kept coughing.

Zhao Yang asked Zhang Maoshi to bring a cup of hot tea, and asked Song Renzong to drink a few sips quickly.

"Father, you have suffered from the cold, and the young lady has also suffered from the cold."

On the second day that Song Renzong suffered from the wind and cold, Empress Cao also suffered from the wind and cold.

Empress Cao was not infected by Song Renzong.

In recent years, Song Renzong only went to Kunning Palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month.On weekdays, he usually goes to Lanlin Palace or Qingning Palace.

Empress Cao and Song Renzong have always maintained a husband and wife relationship that is neither salty nor weak.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Yang didn't say anything.He thought it was fine for them both.If he insisted on matching the two of them, it would be bad for them.

"As you get older, you will get sick if you blow a little wind." Song Renzong is already 50 years old, and his body is really getting worse every year.From the beginning of this year, he obviously felt that he was old and his energy was not as good as before.

"I tell you to take more tonics on weekdays, but you just don't listen." His father's health is indeed not as good as before, but there is no major problem.He was worried that his father would die of illness in his fifties like Song Renzong in history, so he specially asked the imperial physician to take care of Song Renzong's body.

Under the careful care of the imperial physicians, Song Renzong's body is better than when he was in his 30s.

Song Renzong, who is in his 30s, is in his prime, but he is full of illnesses, especially heart disease.In the past few years, his heart disease still broke out from time to time.However, in the past few years, he has never had a heart attack.

"Also exercise more, don't sit all day."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely walk around more in the future." Song Renzong said this very perfunctorily.

"Now this season is the most prone to wind and cold, and many people in the palace have suffered from wind and cold." Not only Song Renzong and Empress Cao suffered from wind and cold, but many servants and maids also fell ill.

Originally thought it was just an ordinary wind and cold, after all, many people in the palace would suffer from the wind and cold every spring.Unexpectedly, within a few days, more than half of the people in Bianjing City suffered from wind and cold, which caused the medicinal materials in Bianjing City to become very tense.

After Zhao Yang received the news, he immediately decreed not to allow the price of medicinal materials to increase.He also ordered medicinal materials to be transferred from other places to treat wind and cold.

Seeing that the common wind-cold had turned into a common cold, Zhao Yang was very nervous, worried that someone would die, so he quickly sent the imperial physician to the medical clinic in Bianjing City for consultation.

He also sent people to disinfect Bianjing City, and told the people in Bianjing City not to gather around, it is best to stay at home to recuperate.

Even though Zhao Yang took many preventive measures, some people still died of illness.Fortunately, not many people died.

Fortunately, there were no imperial examinations during this period.If there is an imperial examination, I am afraid that the students will not do well in the exam.

The flu came and went quickly.

The ministers and common people admired His Highness the Crown Prince's quick response and timely control of the disease without letting the disease spread further.Also very grateful.

The flu in Bianjing happened just right, and Zhao Yang received news that smallpox had appeared in the palace of the Liao king, and smallpox began to spread in the capital of the Liao kingdom.

If the Liao Kingdom cannot control smallpox, it is likely to spread to the Song Dynasty.

In ancient times, getting smallpox was almost equivalent to waiting for death.

Zhao Yang quickly issued an order to strictly prevent smallpox from the Liao Kingdom from spreading to the Song Dynasty.

The smallpox of the Liao Kingdom must not be allowed to harm the people of the Song Dynasty.
