scientific farming

Standing at the front, Xiao Lue took another step deliberately. The civil and military men behind him saw all his actions. Those old ministers were like smoke!Helplessly, the emperor has always been partial to this only nephew. If they met on the spot, not to mention that the emperor didn't see him on the high seat, even if he saw him, they would not fall behind.

Forget it, let's talk about Song Wen first!

Although there was an accident, the emperor still kept his eyes on the courtiers who were ready to move, and the old god said: "Now that Song Wen is here, all the lovers, tell me, what do you want to do with him?"

Well, can't get up and listen!Song Wen was a little guilty, this offended even the emperor!

Also, which official has been in office for less than two months, and returns to the court, and is recruited every time, and is still recruited if he does not attend the court, and this time it is a joint participation!This is also unprecedented, after... If there are imitators, then I don't know!

"My Majesty, Song Wen posted a notice without authorization to requisition the open space on both sides of the street in Chang'an City and reclaim it for farming. The open space is owned by the imperial court. Chang'an County Government's move is a big trespass!"

"The vacant land on both sides of the street has been reclaimed into fields. Driving on the street is very inconvenient, and it is easy to cause more casualties! As the county magistrate of Chang'an, this move clearly did not take the safety of the people into consideration."

"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Chang'an County, Songwen District, not only used the land under the jurisdiction of the imperial court without authorization, but even confiscated the open space in front of the private house, which is connected with the open space on both sides of the street, for reclamation and cultivation. This will definitely arouse public resentment and must be severely punished!"

"Song Wen is so bold that he regards the yamen's notice as a trifle's play and blatantly violates the notice. He led the yamen servants to measure it overnight after three days of agreement. This is because he knows that what his notice says is not feasible, and he is trying to kill it before the court launches an attack!"

There was a courtier who was so angry that he even forgot the rules, ignoring the emperor, pointing at Song Wen and jumping to scold him!

"Your Majesty, Song Wen has already dared to violate the laws and regulations of the country and amend the tax without authorization! How can the tax laws and regulations be changed just by changing them? Chang'an City does not collect taxes for farming, how can the tens of thousands of people in the world agree?"

The courtiers knelt down earnestly, sighed and sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, the people under the emperor's feet are the people, and the people in other places are not? How should the court deal with their voices?!"

The courtiers talked lively, Song Wen knelt down obediently, like an old monk in meditation.

The emperor frowned and glanced at Song and asked, "Song Wen, what do you have to say?"

The courtiers immediately acted like ducks being choked. They didn't expect Song Wen to be so absurd. The emperor didn't punish him directly, but asked him questions? !

Those who are not deep in self-cultivation directly look at Xiao Lue who is at the front of the queue. He stands firmly at the front with a sword and a golden horse, shocking everyone!They looked at it, their eyes turned red with jealousy - it happened that Xiao Lue supported Song Wen, the emperor had to think about this!

Song Wen knelt down on both knees, but his back was straight and proud, with a smile on his face, but he had a glorious appearance, and he bowed his hands and said: "My Majesty, I will not commit any of these crimes. recognize!"

"Oh?" The emperor snorted and said, "Do you still want to argue?"

Song Wen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, no! Your every move is in accordance with the law, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with a good one!" The emperor felt that Song Wenming was stubborn, and immediately pulled his face down.He turned to look at Xiao Lue, he was no different from usual, but the position out of the queue was to support Song Wen grandiosely!Well, what a Xiao Lue!What a song question!

"I will hear that you are absolutely right!" He was speaking to Song Wen, but his eyes were always on Xiao Lue.

For a moment, an undercurrent surged above the court.The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty are all human beings, who used to be very happy, but now they try their best to shrink back, not daring to show their heads too much.

Only that Xiao Lue stood firmly and looked back at the emperor, the pines are like emerald greens, and Lang Yan is unique!

Song asked Shi Shiran and said, "My Majesty, Chang'an City was originally under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an Yamen. How could I have overstepped by expropriating the open space on both sides of the streets in Chang'an City? As for the fact that after the fields have been reclaimed on both sides of the street, driving and horses are likely to cause casualties. This official I don’t even understand. The two sides are arable land, where food and vegetables are planted, and the horses and carts are lost, and what hits them is also grain, and it is still possible to prevent the cars and horses from crashing into the house, so the casualties..."

Song Wen hissed, showing genuine doubts on his face.

The courtier who brought this charge was only about to rush over and beat Song Wen to death!The county magistrate of Chang'an, a junior official of the seventh rank, openly mocked the court officials!Who gave him the guts?

Xiao Lue at the front is like a general in charge!The courtiers can only bite a silver tooth!

Song Wen calmly brought up the second charge: "As for the forced expropriation of private houses and causing public grievances, this is nothing but nonsense! Don't you adults know? I am here today, and all the wives or stewards of the house are You are very welcome, now the front of the adults' mansion has been reclaimed and seedlings have been planted, maybe in two days, the adults will be able to eat the vegetables in front of the mansion!"

What? !It has already been planted!Also very welcome? !

"Absolutely impossible!" A minister retorted on the spot.

Song Wen turned around, okay, it was Lord Li's mansion that he went to first, Song Wen pretended to ask, "Doesn't Master Li still know? Madam Ling also signed a contract with the Yamen to hand over all the output to the Yamen It will be used as a gift in the future. I am very grateful for Madam who is so kind-hearted! I am going to ask for the emperor's approval for my lord!"

Master Li: "?" What's going on?Why is it none of Enshi's business!

Song Wen didn't care about him, and immediately called out the names of several courtiers and officials, saying that their family had signed a contract with the yamen just like Mr. Li.By the way, the yamen will take over all the farming, and the output will be used in their name to help widows, widows and lonely people, as well as for the yamen's kindness in the future.

This is a good thing to hear!Although the boss in my heart was reluctant, the emperor and colleagues were all watching!

Song Wen also ordered a few officials who resisted fiercely in the mansion at the beginning, and said with regret that it was a pity that their mansion refused to agree. Although Song Wen was a mere county magistrate, he felt that their character was really bad, so he decided not to go with them. Contact!

Those who were named, really have the intention of committing murder!

He was called "praise" before, and now he secretly rejoices that the family has handled it properly!Wait, this idea is too dangerous!Hold on, they are going to ask questions about Song Dynasty today.

After talking about this matter, Song Wen explained the three days mentioned in the notice, but the measurement was completed overnight, and then hurriedly cultivated, and said helplessly: "The emperor personally plows every year, so I must understand the painstaking efforts of the lower officials. .Now it’s hot in June, and many grains and vegetables are not suitable for planting. If it is later, it will enter the scorching heat...If you can plant the land for one day, you can even get a little more harvest!"

As for taxes!

Song Wen explained: "Your Majesty, land taxation originally refers to cultivated land, even if the wasteland is reclaimed. The Dali Dynasty's law also clearly stated that no tax will be collected for the first three years, and the tax will be halved for the next two years. The lower officials expropriate the streets of Chang'an City. The open space on both sides, as well as the open space in front of the house, is neither wasteland nor arable land, how can tax be collected?"

"On weekdays, in the village, people open a vegetable field in front of and behind their own yards, and grow whatever they want, and they don't collect taxes. If the lower officials collect taxes in Chang'an City, wouldn't people all over the world have to collect vegetables in front of and behind their yards? It grows fast, so how do you harvest it? Besides, the vegetables in the village are worth a few silver coins. If they are harvested, the people would rather go hungry than eat them, and they don’t want to plant them...wouldn’t this make the imperial court complain?!”

Song Wen eloquently said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials ask themselves how to handle things well, and have a clear conscience!"

In the entire court, all the courtiers are now indifferent, refusing to listen to Song Wen's sophistry, but if they want to refute, let him say all the good things, what do they say!

Don't be accused by Song Wen'an of some nonsense crimes like those officials who were named as having bad conduct!

Whatever the emperor could say, he couldn't refute it!

Let's say Song Wen is guilty, and he has reasons and evidences, and there are laws to follow, let's say he is not guilty, no law in Dali Dynasty says he is right, and he is so angry that his liver hurts!

All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were staring at the emperor. If the emperor didn't give an explanation right now, they would definitely go up and cry when he came down from the court.

The emperor could only say: "Song Aiqing has a heart, but after all, Chang'an City is under the foot of the emperor. Dali is the capital of the capital, and all the vacant land is reclaimed for farming. Isn't it ridiculous that the envoys from other countries come to see them, and they lose the state!"

Song Wen was just tossing things out and cheating people.There are too many troubles in such a reclamation, and the spread of the stall is so large that it is easy to cause accidents. He really spared his life. After the emperor said this, he automatically paved the steps and went down on the spot.

"What the emperor said is very true. It's because the officials are short-sighted and don't think carefully." Song Wen said sincerely, "But the yamen and the people have already reclaimed a lot of open space, and the seedlings and seeds have already been planted. It's a pity. It's better to accept it. After this trouble, the lower officials will find another excuse and return the farmland to the land. What do you think of this method, Your Majesty?"

Fearing that the emperor would not agree, Song Wen said at the right time: "The seedlings and seeds also cost the officials a lot of money. The people are very happy to get some seedlings and seeds for free. They must not dampen their interest and make them feel that the court has gone back on its word." !"

Who tossed about this, and even the court backed down!

The courtiers and the emperor were so angry that they blew their beards and stared!But this consideration is also right, there is no way, they can only agree with their noses.The matter of the courtiers jointly participating in the Song Dynasty can finally be put on hold.

When Song Wen entered the palace, the courtiers discussed it, and Song Wen could not be left idle. He did have a lot of ideas in farming, and there were many useful ones, but he acted chaotically and too perversely, so he must not be called He is idle.

Immediately, an official from the Ministry of Industry stood up and said according to the previous discussion: "Report to the emperor, the waterwheel drawings have been adjusted and revised by the Ministry of Industry, and they can be implemented across the country immediately. I think the waterwheel is the work of Lord Song. The person who promoted it is better to just do it." Mr. Song will be in charge."

Get him out of the capital and see that he is still staring at farming in the capital and in the palace!

Honestly, go to the countryside to plant!

At this moment, the courtiers were united as one and immediately saluted, and said in unison: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Song Wen: "..." I objected, this was clearly negotiated!

The emperor seemed to be thinking about it, but he agreed too quickly, and nodded after a while, which seemed a bit fake.

Song asked what to do, he could only accept the decree to thank him, and set off soon!

It was Xiao Lue who stood up and said: "My Majesty, Mr. Song is a great talent. It is hard to guarantee that someone with a heart will get the news. It is not good for Mr. Song. Please go with Mr. Song and protect Mr. Song's safety along the way."

The emperor summoned Xiao Lue back to the capital with the intention of looking at it, how could he agree?He simply ordered his confidant general and asked him to escort Song Wen, because Xiao Lue hadn't returned to the capital for long, the Empress Dowager and he were reluctant to leave Xiao Lue, and by the way, immediately said: "The Empress Dowager also told me yesterday, We are having a banquet in the palace today, so I will stay in the palace to have dinner together, as if it is to accompany the Queen Mother, to accompany me!"

Xiao slightly nodded in response.

After the court, Xiao Lue directly found an unremarkable court lady, spent some money, and spread the news to the Empress Dowager's palace that the emperor wanted Song Wen to live in the palace and farm in the palace.

Before Xiao Lue sat in the emperor's side hall for a long time, a message was sent from the Empress Dowager's palace to invite the emperor over, and said that only the emperor was invited.

Although the emperor was puzzled, he passed by.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother asked why a foreign minister was allowed to live in the palace.

The emperor didn't know what he was talking about, and he didn't know why.

The more the Empress Dowager looked at him, the more she felt that he was pretending. She was sure that the emperor was thinking about Song Wen, so she said it bluntly, and asked the emperor to let Xiao Lue go out with Song Wen to push the waterwheel.

The Empress Dowager felt that losing a grandson was better than losing a son!

Emperor: "..." What are the three thousand beauties in my harem, he Song Wen!
