Dress to be a celebrity

The king of Wei saluted and resigned in dismay, but he didn't know that the king of Qi was even more unfair than him.

Although the errand of the Ministry of Rites is noble, but since he entered the Ministry of Rites, he has not done anything but presided over a wedding with the king of Wei after the election. It was also the chief assistant and the assistant minister who presided over it, and he couldn't even get a name for the prince Yuemo.

And his eldest brother now holds the power of the nine borders. He has inspected the border affairs once, and has real power and reputation; If you don't go to Hanzhong, you can get him five or six points in ten miles, which is enough to paint his face with gold.

King Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the eunuch Wang who was walking slowly towards His Highness Wenhua, and took a deep breath.He has to grab the big business of this economic park - or at least get a share of it.

Emperor Xintai was a bit surprised when he heard his request, and asked, "Why, are you also interested in practice? Have you learned everything about the Ministry of Rites?"

The King of Qi bowed his head and replied: "I am still learning from Mr. Lu in various matters of the Ministry of Rites. I only know how to put my heart into it, and I dare not say it well. But I came here today because I accidentally got an article on agriculture, commerce and industry by the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty not long ago. You can enrich the country and secure the people's articles. After reading it carefully, I feel that this method is feasible. I know that my father intends to implement it in Beijing, so I came here today to recommend myself for Mao Sui, and to relieve my father's worries."

Emperor Xintai smiled and asked: "Then you just talked to your third brother in front of the palace, but I heard that I have arranged for him to preside over this matter?"

Of course I heard about it, and I also heard that he was unwilling to do it!

However, as an elder brother, it is not good for him to sue his younger brother, otherwise he will be suspected of being framed by favoritism, so he just smiled and said: "Father is right, the third younger brother has already told the son. But the son is not trying to compete with the younger brother. The right to preside over the economic park is only for the sake of sharing the worries of the father and the emperor among capable ministers and talents."

Emperor Xintai shook his head slightly: "I have already entrusted your younger brother to do the construction of the economic park. There is no reason for an elder brother to be a subordinate and assist a brother. This matter will be considered by me later. You should go back first."

"Father..." A trace of anxiety flashed in King Qi's eyes, and he suppressed it immediately, bowed his head and cupped his hands: "I just want to share my father's worries, and I am also curious about the measures that Mr. Song used to benefit agriculture and industry in the article, and I want to try it out for myself." It's just the law, I don't care about the position, and I am willing to listen to the third brother's arrangement when doing things."

Taking into account the emperor's preferences, he looked up at his father and said sincerely: "My son and my third brother have been with Mu since childhood, so why do brothers care about these things? We brothers should also work together to do our best for our father and the court." To set an example of filial piety to the common people.”

What he said hit the heart of Emperor Xintai's father who longed for his sons to get along with Mu.He sighed lightly, and waved his hand towards King Qi: "Forget it, it's a good thing for you brothers to be close and friendly... You don't have to act coquettishly and beg again, it's really inappropriate for an elder brother to be under a younger brother, I will make another arrangement for you. "

King Qi originally thought that there was nothing he could ask for this time, but he didn't want to say these few words into the heart of his father, and he could get pity again. Big wedding.

He has worked so hard here to get a job with real results, but the king of Wei, who is deeply enviable in his eyes, only wants to change jobs with him: Brother Dahuang was trained in the Ministry of Rites when he was in Beijing, and the second emperor after he left My brother also took over the post of the Ministry of Rites.He doesn't want to join the Ministry of Rites to observe politics like the emperor brothers, but at least he can go to the Ministry of Officials, or even go to the Hanlin Academy to compile books, which is more suitable for him than presiding over this economic park...

He told the truth to his uncle Shang Shilang: "Although this economic park is called an economy, it really values ​​fame and fortune. If the imperial court is built, the things produced will naturally compete for the interests of the people. Is this what the imperial court should do? No matter how many rare things it can produce, if it makes a lot of money every day, what good will it do for the court?"

Shang Shilang shook his head lightly, and analyzed for him: "Your Highness's intention is to be confined to the capital, and His Majesty's intention is to promote the benefits of this country to the world."

Does Your Highness remember Song Sanyuan's Theory of the Wealth of Nations?

Wei Wang frowned slightly: "I've read it before, but I only remember that it says 'thick business can benefit farmers', but Hanzhong Prefecture produces special fertilizers, and the benefits of farming are all based on phosphate fertilizers. How can phosphate fertilizers come from Beijing? ..."

Shang Shilang patiently taught him: "Although there is no phosphate fertilizer in Beijing, there are people who have no food, clothing and land. Your Highness is doing business for the first time, so there is no need to compare with Hanzhong, and you don't need to pay too much attention to the results..."

Wei Wang is only 15 years old this year, and he has just entered the court. The emperor would not have expected him to be proficient in common affairs since he was a child like Song Sanyuan.The economic park has its own officials from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry in charge. He used to be a prince with only an empty title, earning a reputation for understanding "economics" and "practical affairs".Even when he presided over the matter, he didn't have to use too much force to intervene everywhere: "Your Highness only needs to do a good job in the two things of benefiting the people and calming the people, and it will be good to gain the name of being virtuous and caring for the people."

Since the Son of Heaven was about to establish a new emperor, the Shang family's children have lost some of their desire to compete for the throne.Today is still in the prime of life, although they suffer from chronic diseases like their father and ancestors, how can they, as ministers, curse the king?

At today's age, it is enough to have another son.If there is really an eldest son who is born, then the three princes don't have to think about the battle for the throne anymore, instead they should focus on their affairs and be a virtuous king who doesn't hinder others.

In case there is a day when the palace chariot drives away...

King Qi relies on the nobility of his mother and concubine and the power of his family, so he has the heart to spy on the reserve position; and the future queen is born from a poor family, the daughter of Zuo Shaoqing, a fourth-rank Dali Temple, and must find someone to rely on in the court.At that time, only the king of Qi had a good name, good knowledge of practical affairs, and the support of the Qingliu of the Manchu Dynasty, so he could take care of the affairs of Kuangfu and serve as an assistant prince in Beijing.

If the new queen is still unable to conceive, that is another story.

Shang Shilang let go of his thoughts, looked back and saw that Wei Wang still had a bit of reluctance on his face, he was slightly moved, and patiently persuaded him for a while.

It was so easy for the king of Wei to be persuaded by him to understand the intention of the emperor to build the economic park, and he was willing to do this job well. Matters that are dimmed—

Hanzhong Mansion came to present Jiahe again, no, this time it can be regarded as Jiamai!

This time, it was not the king of Zhou who brought people to Beijing to present it, but at the end of the great dynasty, the prince in charge of the imperial court informed the ministers of the news: "The day before yesterday His Royal Highness King Zhou and the prefect of Hanzhong sent people to Beijing to present several ears of wheat. Auspicious, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit, ordering all ministers to watch it."

Ears of wheat... how many?

They have read a lot of classics and history, and they have only heard the saying of "Two Qis of Wheat Ears" in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Zhang Kan Biography". How far can this "number of Qi" go?

Isn't wheat a thing of one stalk and one ear?The so-called "Two Qis of Wheat Ears" is already recorded in the Han Dynasty. The folk songs praised by the people in power have never been seen in person for many years.But the wheat presented by the prefect of the Song Dynasty thought that the "two Qi" were not enough, and it was going to produce three counts?

The eunuch in charge in front of the hall brought down a few glass-topped wooden boxes that seemed familiar to him on a plate, and Man Chao Wenwu looked at them, as if he had returned to October last year.The only thing that held the box was not the cage for clothes, but the exquisite tray in the palace, which brought them back from their memories.

Through the crystal-clear glass on the surface of the box, you can clearly see clusters of golden ears of wheat. The grains are extraordinarily full, and some grains are almost firm from top to bottom. Even the awns beside them seem to be sharper than common ones longer.

Counting the ears in detail, there are at least one book with three ears, and even one book with five ears.

From the beginning to the end, there is no book with only two ears. No wonder Mr. Wang just said that it is "the number of ears of wheat". Although there are not two ears on one stalk, the number of ears is not correct. Can be called "Shuqi"

This is also auspicious!

I just don't know which one is more precious, the wheat from Wuqi or the Jiahe from thirteen spikes?

It's rare for others to be an official for half a lifetime to see Jiahe. How could a crop of crops be planted in the Song Dynasty to offer a crop of auspiciousness?Planting this auspiciousness under his rule is as easy as a literati writing, a general carrying a knife, or an old farmer growing ordinary rice and wheat. I really want to bring him back to Beijing and ask him to plant a few copies of Jiahe on the spot for people to solve their doubts.

Just when everyone was thinking about the Song Dynasty, the emperor suddenly mentioned his name, which immediately caught the spirit of the ministers in the hall: "I have seen Song Qing's actions in Hanzhong, which is really a good strategy for the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people Therefore, he wants to set up an economic park in the west of Wanping County, just like what he did in Hanzhong. This matter will be managed by the King of Wei, and the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry will be in charge."

The King of Wei hurriedly stepped down, and together with Li Ge from the Ministry of Households and Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, took orders to thank them, and respectfully promised to do a good job in this matter.

Shang Shilang saw that the king of Wei had dealt with it well in the front, his bearing was dignified and graceful, and he was gradually losing his childishness. When he saw the prince's bearing for the first time, he couldn't help feeling very relieved.But his relief didn't last long, when King Wei returned to the steps, the Holy Majesty summoned King Qi to come to him and arranged an errand for him.

He is in charge of overseeing the mines and running the raw materials.

That is to say, the second prince, King Qi, tightly suppressed the lifeline of the economic park. If King Wei wanted to get the garden in order smoothly, he couldn't get around the emperor brother. It is inevitable to bow your head in front of him.

King Wei's face paled suddenly, but King Qi didn't seem to like it very much - he only transported raw materials, and it was his duty to supply them in time, and he would be responsible for any delay, but it was not the job he wanted and could be outstanding.

The two princes each had their own emotions, but the emperor called King Wei to his elder brother, and said with a smile: "This winter, the ten officials sent to Hanzhong to learn how to plant Jiahe and build an economic park will return to the court, and these The economic park has been built. You two brothers work together and support each other, so you should be able to manage this matter well."

==================

Wheat was harvested in May, early rice was harvested in June, and a batch of late rice was planted in the experimental field in Song Dynasty.However, except for his experimental fields, he did not promote double-cropping rice on a large scale. Instead, he advised the people to plant a crop of beans or vegetables first. If they can afford phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers, they can continue planting in August and September wheat.

This rice-wheat rotation farming method consumes the fertility of the land. If the fertilizer cannot keep up, the replanted wheat and rice are prone to disease, and the harvest is not as good as the one-year harvest.

This crop of late rice is planted, and before the new wheat is sown, the government-sponsored trainees in the advanced graduate class of Hanzhong College will return to the court to handle errands.

They personally sterilized the seeds mixed with potassium permanganate, processed the phosphate fertilizer with sulfuric acid, watched with their own eyes the chemical fertilizer made by washing the black smoke of the coke oven in the acid furnace, and mixed the plant ash essence in proportion with their own hands to grow the seeds so fat The green seedlings...

I saw it go to the field, but I couldn't see his harvest.

When everyone talked about parting, they felt sad for a while, and even wanted to hold a literary meeting to commemorate their return from Hanzhong after studying in Hanzhong.

Headmaster Song subconsciously glanced at the vice-principal when he heard the word "beautiful woman". Huan Qianxian still maintained the prestige of supervising officials, lowered his brows, pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and removed the students and subordinates from the red sleeves. Xiang woke up in a dream.

"All the monarchs are ministers of the imperial court. They should stand up and practice politics. Don't let yourself be in a state of self-indulgence." It is not necessary for official duties, and it is not a rural drinking ceremony to enjoy with the people. Their officials openly call Lehu to serve Banquet, what can the students and the people under the rule learn from seeing it?

They are all senators who regard themselves as celebrities, and when they are drinking, they want to learn from the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. At this time, they don’t want to think about "teaching without words" and "against the sentiments of the people"?

The ten angels who studied industry and agriculture, together with the prospecting technology, planned to go back to court with them to bid farewell. Since then, Xiong Yushi, who went to the ends of the earth to prospect for mines, was taught by Mr. Huan like a schoolboy.It was principal Song who couldn't stand their pitiful appearance, grabbed Huan Ling's sleeve, and gave him a quiet wink.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, can Yushi Huanqian disrespect his own junior and junior, and the college is also the face of the double immediate boss at home?

No.
