The next day, morning.

Song Wen put Shen Xiaolue's memorial in his arms, and calmly went to court.

Today is the big court, there are many trivial matters, big and small, after the whole process, Song Wen felt that his legs were standing stiffly, and it was really weird that he hadn't waited for someone to participate in him before the court.

He secretly scanned left and right with his corner of the eye, focusing on the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the few censors, as well as a few officials who looked like thorns. The strange thing was that they were also very honest and didn't want to participate in his own affairs at all. mean.

What about those who stare at the Chang'an county government all day long?

Observing every possible official in this way, the time flies, Song Wen suddenly came back to his senses, unexpectedly, the servant beside the emperor was already shouting: "If there is something to play, let's ignore the retreat".

Is there really no one to participate in yourself? !

Song Wen felt the memorial in his arms with some regret.A series of good plays planned yesterday, because the opponent didn't make any moves today, they all went back.

Naturally, the emperor also received the news that he knew about the commotion in the Chang'an County Yamen yesterday. Although he heard that it was barely covered with the remaining tiles in the Yamen, but there were not enough tiles. There is also a big hole in the roof.

After the servant finished shouting, there was silence in the hall.

Could it be that someone suppressed the scriptures asked by Shen Song?The emperor never wanted to speculate about the Sacred Heart and be biased when he was screening the papers. He immediately nodded to Song Wen with a heart-to-heart attitude and said, "Song Aiqing, there was a lot of movement in the Chang'an Yamen yesterday. There’s still a big hole in the roof of the house that hasn’t been repaired.”

While implying that he had his own eyes on the big and small things happening in the capital, the emperor looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and continued, "I thought I would receive another invitation to join you today."

Officials from the Ministry of Rituals came out first, saluted and said: "Report to the emperor, the ministers have not yet discussed whether the roof of the back house is also included in the scope of Mr. Song's reconstruction, so there has not been a memorial to report today. This Chang'an county government is more than just a hole in the roof of the back house." One thing, there is also the fact that the courtyard wall is covered with courgette vines. It is said that many people have already climbed up the outer wall of the yamen to spy on the yamen. However, the Ministry of Rites is also very embarrassed about this matter. After all, Mr. Song has never made any changes on the outer wall according to the regulations. Repair, the courgette vine climbed on the outer wall by itself... how to determine this, the ministers and others did not discuss the rules, so they did not report to the emperor in time."

In other words, the questions were all asked by Song, and the Ministry of Rites was diligently sharing the emperor's worries and discussing the results internally before preparing the report.

The emperor looked at Song who had already stepped out and asked, "Song Aiqing, are you listening to the Ministry of Rites' questions? What do you have to say?"

Song Wen stepped forward and saluted: "Report to the emperor, I will first talk about the cucumber and vines."

All civil and military members of the court were unwilling to interrupt, watching the Ministry of Rites, Song Wen and the emperor tossing back and forth.Above the dignified court, they were talking about the cucumber vine climbing out of the wall. They really didn't know what to say, not to mention some officials who came from aristocratic families didn't even know that the cucumber grows on the vine.

For a while, the expressions of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were a little strange.

The emperor nodded in agreement.

Song asked: "Your Majesty, I have tried a case. It is said that Zhang San in a certain village sued his neighbor Li Si, saying that Li Si stole his own courgettes. Li Si complained, saying that courgettes grew in his own house, how could he become a thief? Zhang San’s. Originally, Zhang San’s and Li Si’s houses were built very close together, and there was a common wall. This three kinds of courgette vines climbed around the common wall and came to Li Si’s house, where they grew courgettes. Confused, I dare to ask the emperor, this courgette grows in Li Si's house, does the courgette belong to Zhang San or Li Si?"

"That melon belongs to Zhang San. He fertilized and weeded every day, and took care of it very meticulously. It was hard to grow a courgette, but Li Si picked it up. Thinking about it this way, Li Si is really hateful. But the grown courgettes But the courgette grew in Li Si’s house, occupying the wall of Li Si’s house, and the sun of Li Si’s house, thinking about it this way, Li Si also has credit for that courgette, and it’s understandable for him to say that the melon belongs to him.”

The Ministry of Rites frowned and said, "What exactly is Master Song trying to say?"

"My majesty..." Song asked, "I'm Zhang San of that kind of pickled cucumber, but the outer wall belongs to the Ministry of Rites, that is, Li Si's family. How can I get back my own pickled cucumber? This pickled cucumber is not human either. , If it is not allowed to grow, it will not grow. The minister thought that if it was awarded to Li Si, that Zhang San would have to guard the pickled vine day and night, preventing the pickled vine from climbing up."

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals looked ugly. If the emperor hadn't spoken up, they would really not be willing to stand up and call Song Wenran. After all, there is an emperor who is biased, and there is also a general Xiao who is eyeing him.Now that he is also angry, the official of the Ministry of Rites is angry on the face, but a big stone has fallen in his heart.

It can be said that it is like a salted fish that does not work hard!

The emperor deeply felt that he had been tricked, and Song Wen was afraid that he would just wait for someone to talk about it, so that he could get his thoughts out of the way.But he was able to start, so he continued with a smile no matter what: "There is really no way to control the growth of courgette vines. But it is really not good for the vines to grow outside the yamen. Well, if you plant this stubble, you will plant it. The ones that grow outside will be picked by the common people, it is considered as a gift from the court, so there is no need to worry about it.”

"Yes." Song asked in response.

The emperor was afraid that the roof was another trap for Song Wen, and he was waiting for someone to jump, so he was going to let it go and forget about it.Just wanted to let the servant call out, but Song asked himself to stand up!

"Reporting to the emperor, the Ministry of Rites mentioned that there was a big hole in the roof of the back house of the yamen, and I have something to report."

Song Wen Shi Shiran took out the memorial from his bosom, pretending not to notice the throbbing veins on the forehead of the emperor, he raised the memorial above his head and said, "Your Majesty, I want to join General Xiao Luexiao, openly broke into the yamen, demolished The roof of the back house of the county yamen caused obvious rain leakage in the hall of the back house of the yamen and the room on the right side. Fortunately, the officials asked the yamen to repair it in time and barely made it up. But the tiles in the yamen are not enough, and such trivial matters cannot be reported to the Ministry of Rites. This hole is really a repair No way!"

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all silent.

What?General Xiao broke into the yamen and forcibly demolished the roof of the house behind the yamen?It's all hallucinations!

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, looking down and holding up the memorial, and righteously blamed Xiao Lue for demolishing the roof of the yamen Song Wen, suddenly his heart was full of vicissitudes, why bother to mention it!

Not waiting for the servant to receive the Song Wen memorial, Xiao Lue had already taken a big step, stood up and bowed and said: "I want to report to the emperor, I did not do what Mr. Song said about breaking into the yamen and demolishing the roof."

Song Wen turned his head and glared at others: "Dare to ask General Xiao, he came uninvited yesterday."

Xiao slightly nodded: "But..."

"That's it. You came here uninvited. Why didn't you break in?" Song asked simply not to let him argue, "Ask the general, the roof of the back house of my yamen was demolished by the general, and there is still a big hole that has not been repaired?"

Xiao slightly nodded.

Song asked: "Since the general acquiesces, what's wrong with what the subordinate said?!"

Xiao Lue: "..."

Manchu civil and military: "..."

What a song question!

The emperor had a headache, and wondered whether Song Wen and Xiao Lue really had a falling out.That day Song Wen and Xiao Lue said goodbye at the gate of the palace, and there was no further negotiation after that, yesterday Xiao Lue went to the yamen, but today Song Wen joined Xiao Lue, and blocked Xiao Lue into silence in the hall .

Xiao Lue hurriedly turned around and explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I went to the yamen to inform Master Song that he had found out who was behind the case of the people besieging the yamen that day, and I have reported this matter to the emperor. Afterwards, I met Song My lord is planting rice in the back house, but there are still a lot of seedlings left. Lord Song intends to tear off the roof and plant the rice in the hall, but he is hesitant because he is afraid that someone will get involved. Your Majesty, I really want to help you. Not on purpose."

Raise the roof and plant rice in the hall? !

All the people in the imperial court were staring at Song Wen, and they didn't know whether to sigh with emotion for being young and promising, or for being a newborn calf, or for shocking the world!

The emperor said: "As far as I know, rice is not suitable for planting in the north, let alone planting it in the yamen."

Some ministers wanted to say that Song Wen was messing around, which was impossible.The rice is planted in the south and it has already passed the season for planting. How can it be possible to plant in the north? It is really nonsense!

"My Majesty, the most important thing for rice is to pay attention to water, cold and heat, and it can be grown in the north. As for water, the yamen is small and manpower can solve it, not to mention there are waterwheels that can be used. As for cold and heat, this is the first time for me to grow rice. It can be regarded as a trial planting, and if it is successful, it can be promoted in the future, which can somewhat lower the price of rice that is still high among the people."

Song Wen pointed out, "Why bother that there are many rich households in the capital who grow rice. Although the harvest is not good, it shows that rice can be grown in the north."

After explaining this, Song Wen took a look at Xiao Lue and said: "I do have a lot of seedlings left. It's a pity that they died. I can only raise them in the paddy fields that have been reclaimed for the time being. But it is halfway through June, and we still have to move them as soon as possible." Planting is the way to go. The reason why I look at the roof of the yamen is not to lift the roof..."

Manchu only believed in this word.

Song Wen paused for a while, and said helplessly: "Well, I have this idea. But if you grow rice indoors, the sun won't come in for a day, and the light is not enough; a house is always cooler than outside, and the rice may not be able to grow well. But if the roof is torn off, then the problem of rain leakage will not be feasible without first finding a solution. After all, the house still needs people to live in. "

When you planted vegetables and food on the wall, why didn't you think about living there?The officials of the Ministry of Rituals stared at each other, as if they wanted Song Wen to talk about it.

Xiao Lue hurriedly followed and said: "Listening to Mr. Song's words today, I am indeed reckless."

He arched his hands at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Chang'an Yamen is a solemn place after all. The Ministry of Rituals considers it very reasonable, so it is not appropriate to make drastic moves. But it is a pity that Mr. Song has the ability to farm the land in a house. I thought, the capital camp is stationed There is a lot of open space in the land, I wonder if it can be reclaimed and planted with food?"

"There are many children from the capital in the capital camp, and they don't know the sufferings of the farmers. I think that if we reclaim the open space in the capital camp to grow food, not only will there be food, but also the people in the capital camp will know the sufferings of the farmers. These poor and lustful people."

Xiao Lue said sincerely, "I have been stationed in the barren land of the border all year round. The people there have to gnaw on the roots and bark of trees to get food and clothing. When they returned to the capital, they stink of rich dog meat..."

These words really offend people.On the surface, it is the capital camp, but none of the officials in the court would think of the family, not to mention that there are no poor officials in the capital!

Oh, and Song Wen who borrowed money!

This matter obviously cannot be said in court, and the emperor didn't think it was Xiao Lue's idea. His eyes flicked back and forth between Song Wen and Xiao Lue, and he understood that Xiao Lue and Song Wen must have communicated in private.Now it is the big hole in the back house of the yamen as the introduction, Song Wen intentionally put up a memorial to participate in Xiao Lue, Xiao Lue took advantage of the trend to lead out to the capital camp, what a thread, not only big fish are hanging up!

The emperor's face was completely dark, because he was being calculated, and there were other things.He laughed and boasted at the moment: "There is no house in the capital camp. Song Aiqing is good at farming in the courtyard, so the capital camp is not suitable. Song Aiqing, what do you think of my palace?"
