Qinghuan in the dream (48) (Qinghuan in the dream (48) rewards the court...)
Happy dreams(48)
"A reward of 30,000 shi of food from the emperor?"
My grandfather kept talking about this issue when he came back. At night, he couldn't sleep when he lay down, and he tossed and turned.
Chaoxian is a vassal state. It starts from the Winter Solstice, New Year's Day, and Wanshou Festival. Congratulations are presented, and then some tributes are presented. The emperor must reward them every year.
There was the Galdan Rebellion before, so it was okay to be more tolerant towards the emperor.
But today is different from the past. No one is short of such things as food. Moreover, border frictions have never stopped, and it is not uncommon for the people of the court to cross the border to collect ginseng and kill the border residents. In the twenty-fourth year, the emperor had a decree, and everything
Anyone who offends will be beheaded! Even Prince Chaoxian was fined 20,000 taels of silver.
But there is no need to treat this kind of subordinate country with a "cunning nature".
Tongtong stood up and lit the lamp, "Do you want to give me a discount?"
A discount?
Come on! At least you have to see what the emperor is thinking now. So, he lit a lamp and boiled oil, wrote a note, and took it away early the next morning. But as soon as the note was handed in, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he did not return it.
return.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor was about to tour Mount Wutai, and asked Prince Zhi and Prince Cheng to accompany him.
I just wanted to ask the emperor, but he just left without time.
But this unanswered reply is just a reply. If you want to influence the emperor, it is a dream. So what should you do? The only one who can influence is his fourth brother.
The emperor is not here, and the brothers have no specific errands, just some flag duties, and they have been idle since then. He might as well go to Sibeile Mansion and let us have a chat.
Chatting is subtle, not to convince you, but to tell you that this is what I think, and see if it makes any sense.
Si Beile heard it, and Lao Liu took food and other things very seriously.
Immediately afterwards, Sibeile understood the importance of keeping food tight. The emperor visited Mount Wutai and arrived in Shanxi in early February. As a result, the governor of Shanxi said that eleven prefectures and counties had experienced poor harvests in consecutive years, food prices had risen, and the people had insufficient food to eat. The emperor
What can we do? Take the money and grain that were confiscated from these eleven states last year and use it as a local exemption. Then we mobilize rice and grain to provide disaster relief. We also quickly issued an order that we must not displace the people, for fear that the cultivated land will be lost.
Food was allocated for disaster relief here, but the imperial censor impeached him again. It was said that the three prefectures including Qingzhou in Jinan and their subordinate counties were suffering from famine for many years, but the governor actually concealed the disaster situation and asked the imperial court to urge the governor to provide disaster relief quickly.
If the censor can impeach, that means there is evidence that the disaster is real.
Yes! This is another time to provide disaster relief and provide food.
This incident was caused by the fact that the emperor left in a hurry and returned in a hurry, which was not enough to cause trouble.
My family eats according to the quota of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this year it is Beile, and there is Lumi. The price of food in the capital has increased this year. If you sell Lumi, you will get a lot more money than in previous years.
This price shows that there is not enough food on the market.
My grandfather seriously went to the backyard to grow vegetables. He specially found two old farmers from the village and asked them to teach him how to grow vegetables. Tongtong changed all the meals at home. They should not be extravagant and wasteful. Every meal was four
One dish and one soup. The only difference is that the servants can’t order the four dishes and one soup. They can eat whatever is cooked on the stove. The master can choose what he eats every day. He only has to eat what he wants. There is definitely not much.
As soon as the weather warms up, the baby can be taken out. Tongtong resumes his normal schedule. When he wakes up early, he will practice martial arts, and then he will cook.
For a couple to eat, a simple meal of two meat and two vegetables is enough. The plate is not big, so you have to finish it in one meal.
For vegetables and the like, they are all digested after thinning.
Si Ye was stunned as soon as the food entered his mouth. It was a feeling so familiar that it made him want to cry. He looked at Fujin with complicated eyes, and his throat felt very full.
"What's wrong? It doesn't taste good?"
No, "I don't know how many years you have been washing my hands and making soup for me..."
Really? Her eyes lit up.
"Yeah!" Really! This was the most comfortable meal he had eaten in years. The soup of fried vegetables was poured into the bowl and eaten with rice.
Tongtong was very happy, "Plant some peppers, more varieties. Can you plant seedlings now?"
Yes!
As soon as the vegetable seedlings are in the ground, the rain starts to fall. As soon as it starts to fall, people say that the spring rain is as precious as oil, but when it rains continuously and the sun never shines, people become anxious.
Sure enough, the spring floods came again. More than ten prefectures and counties along the river, including Baoding and Bazhou, were all flooded. The imperial court could only transport 10,000 shi of grain from Shandong and Henan to each other. This was not disaster relief.
Yes, this is to prevent someone from raising prices and use this food to stabilize food prices.
In many places, the farmland under his banner was flooded. Immediately afterwards, the emperor asked his soldiers to repair the river embankment. The prince's elder brother was in charge of the flag affairs. It was not possible to adjust people or things, and it was very busy.
This is near Gyeonggi Province. Immediately afterwards, from south to north, people said that the water rose sharply. From the Yellow River to Gaoyou Lake, the two major rivers in the north and south were flooded.
My grandfather was talking about this matter, and the palace called for it.
Even though it was raining, I didn't dare to delay, so I hurried to the palace.
When he went there, the emperor was furious. The price of rice in several southern provinces had skyrocketed. This was a food shortage! The emperor said, "Where's the food? It's all wasted on useless things! Huguang and Jiangxi have always had abundant production, but now where is the rice?"
The price is the most expensive in these two provinces! What's the reason? Liquor consumes a lot of rice and is of no benefit... I have long issued an order prohibiting the production of shochu, but you can go and see how much shochu there is in Zhili alone.
Who is in charge of the workshop? The local magistrate? No one cares!"
Then he issued an edict: It is strictly forbidden to make alcoholic beverages for the sake of the people.
After dismissing the courtiers, the emperor sat down on the couch again. The previous anger had disappeared. The emperor talked about the situation he had seen during his inspection tour, "...the water flooded the villages and the people lived on algae. I once tasted algae myself.
, knowing the hardships of the people... The rivers must be dredged before the rains, so that the fields can be cultivated again. The dams must be repaired within six months to prevent autumn floods... I have issued an order to Cheng Long, but after the river dams are completed, the distribution
It is so vast that no one can urge you to do it... As the prince's elder brother, and the county king Lord Baile, the food and clothing expenses are all the people's fat and the people's anointing, don't be idle, go down and watch... Within six months, it will be destroyed
The dike must be repaired..."
After saying that, he asked someone to bring the map, and the third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth children each occupied a place.
But obviously, the errand for the fourth child is the most difficult to handle. Henan has always been a flood-prone area, so things may be very difficult.
The third child and the fifth child were near Gyeonggi, and the seventh child was heading north. There was a summer palace nearby, so the floods here were easy to deal with. The eighth child, on the other hand, was arranged to go south.
Prince Zhi is in Beijing and is at his disposal at any time.
They all were sent out one by one, leaving only the sixth child. "I have read the discount you gave before." The idea is a good one. For such a vassal country, using force to intimidate is far more effective than showing mercy. "But now,
Although the court has no external troubles, internal worries continue. Just as the war stopped, floods broke out again. After a disaster, it took the court three years to get over it. I know that you are seeking a change in armaments, but this cannot be supported by national strength. Then
, you can put your energy into improving the farming tools, maybe you can give it a try ten years later."
Just when he was about to retreat, he heard Li Dequan whisper: "Babeile wants to see you."
The emperor nodded and said: "Call in."
Laoba?
He frowned and went out, and came face to face with Lao Ba. Lao Ba's gentle face was always smiling, "Brother Six, are you disturbing your conversation with Huang Ama?"
No! That’s it, you go in.
Lao Ba handed over his hands and went in. He looked at the rainy sky again and waited for Zhao Qishan to bring the rain gear. He heard Lao Ba's voice faintly coming from inside: "Huang Ama, I want to go south this time."
Take the ninth and tenth brothers to practice with you..." He was not interested in hearing it anymore. Let's go home first.
When he reached the halfway point, he was stopped by Shi Shi, who looked like he had sneaked out and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Sixth brother, tell fourth brother to take me on an errand."
"How old are you? My fourth brother is going to Henan, not Jiangnan. There are rich people in Jiangnan, and the land is owned by their owners. They are paddy fields, and the dams built were built by big landowners. The floods are far from as serious as said. Again.
Then, it is a time of food shortage, and Jiangnan is especially important. Lao Ba went to Jiangnan to show kindness, and it was safe and worry-free. But the fourth brother went to Henan. Although the Yellow River overflowed, it was repaired and collapsed every year.
There is a reason. This is to use a killing stick! If you force people into a hurry, nothing can be done. Not to mention that after a flood, it is easy to get sick, so it is just safer. Who can guarantee that you will be taken there safely? Who can take you safely?
"Return?" He really had the patience to reason with him here, "If you are really bored, I will ask Huang Ama to take you to my house. Huang Ama asked me to work hard on innovating farm tools, so there is no need for this.
Just leave the house. If you are willing to go, I will go and ask the Emperor Ama..."
I just went! I just wanted to go out, and I just wanted to ask you to take me out! You just found so many reasons to not take me!
Huh! If you don’t take it, you won’t take it. “I’ve grown up, where can’t I go? How rare!”
Then he turned around and ran away, groaning angrily.
This is not to make people angry. After returning home, he complained to Fujin, "Fourteen just needs to be taken care of!" How could he have such an annoying brother! He couldn't just pick it up and hang it on the wall, which would save him everywhere.
Jump around.
Tongtong laughed and asked what was going on.
When she heard the result, she also frowned, "Why do you have to follow me as an errand when you are so good?"
"Old Eight is making trouble. Please take orders to take Old Nine and Ten to the south of the Yangtze River."
Then Shi Shi got excited and wanted to ask his brother to take him out on an errand.
How old is Fourteen this year? It’s already Eleven!
Want to be an errand on the 11th? What good things are you thinking of!
Ask him to ask Lao Ba if Lao Ba dares to take him out. Not to mention that he has errands to go with, even if he goes out to play, he doesn’t dare to take him with him!
In the end, Fourteen was still unwilling to give up and sent someone out of the palace to find his fourth brother. It was surprising that his fourth brother agreed, so he replied with two words: "Nonsense!"
Then Fourteen was provoked, but Thirteen was quite clever. He called the little eunuch out and came over to ask, "If Brother Six can be of use to Brother in his errand, just ask. It doesn't matter whether it's checking information or going to work."
Just keep an eye on the progress, even if you are stupid."
Thirteen is actually thirteen years old, which is not too young to say the least.
If you want to come, then come!
