In the fifth year of Hong De's reign, Shen Yi was reborn in prison in Jiangdu County.
A different soul appeared in this world.
To this day, for nearly nine years, Shen Yi has been trying his best to adapt to this world and take root here.
But in the final analysis, there are still some differences that are not easy to get rid of.
For example, Shen Yi has always wanted to change the world to a certain extent.
Transform the world's agriculture so that ordinary people, or the vast majority of ordinary people, can have food to eat.
Introduce more species and make this world more like another world.
Xu Fu and the others are already working on introducing new crops, and there is a high probability that they will be able to do so in a few years or more.
Transforming agriculture is one of the things Shen Yi has always wanted to do.
What he said to the emperor today was not a sudden whim, nor was he trying to show something in front of the emperor. In fact, there were some things he wanted to do nine years ago.
But at that time, people spoke lightly.
Even if he became an official later, he would not have enough weight in the court, or in the emperor's heart, and it might not be of any use if he spoke about it.
It was only now that Shen Yi, who had finally become an important minister in the court, expressed these thoughts that had been buried for a long time.
After he said it, it was naturally good for the emperor to do it.
The emperor won't do it...
In the future, Shen will do it himself.
Because when he was selected for the examination, he wanted to reserve an experimental field for himself.
Previously, as a reward from the imperial court, he still had 5,000 acres of land in his hometown in Jiangdu. His third brother Shen Ling was in charge of it, so it was enough.
However, since the emperor has agreed, then the official intervention will naturally have better results. After all, if Mr. Shen does it himself, he will probably only be able to give money to people when he recruits followers, but there is no way to give identity.
Shen Yi stayed in the Ganlu Hall until the night got darker before saying goodbye and leaving and returned home.
…………
Early the next morning, firecrackers sounded in Jiankang City.
Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, it means that it is the fourteenth year of the New Hongde Dynasty and the fifteenth year of the Hongde Dynasty.
The reason why we say this is because the name was changed to Hongde on the second day after Emperor Hongde came to the throne.
During the first to third days of the Lunar New Year, apart from going out to pay New Year greetings to a few elders, Shen Yi spent the rest of the time at home with his family. Occasionally, he would play chess and talk with his old father-in-law. .
Of course, the more important thing is to handle some more important military affairs.
Although Shen Yi returned to Jiankang, the power in his hands, or the core power, was not completely assured. Basically, he was still handling all matters involving direction in the Huai'an army.
It's just that when the Huai'an Army is controlled remotely, the work efficiency will be much lower. Therefore, some urgent matters are handled by the three generals of the Huai'an Army themselves.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Shen got up early. After breakfast, he led Mrs. Lu out of the house in a carriage.
The two of them took a car all the way to the foot of Jilong Mountain. Shen Yi supported the little old man and went all the way up the mountainside of Jilong Mountain.
Mr. Lu was a scholar. He had been annotating and teaching for many years. His body was naturally not very strong. After crawling for a while, he was out of breath.
But he still climbed halfway up the mountain.
Shen Yi supported his arm, pointed to an open space in front of him, and said with a smile: "Teacher, you see, this is the place given by His Majesty. When the new year starts, the Ministry of Industry will come here to build a yard."
"In half a year, a new Ganquan Academy will be built."
Lu Anshi looked at the open space, then looked up at the hill, which was not very high, and said softly: "This is Jilong Mountain..."
"right."
Shen Yi squinted his eyes and chuckled softly: "Jiming Temple is not far away. Although the environment here is good, in the future, it may be disturbed by the popular Jiming Temple."
"But this place, just for building an academy, is already the best location in Jiankang City."
Master Lu was tired from walking, so he found a stone and sat down. Then he looked at Shen Yi, shook his head slightly and said, "The person who asked me to serve as my teacher is the Holy One. The place of Ganquan Academy is also a reward from the Holy One. Originally, Zi Heng had nothing to do with you." What does it have to do with it? How come your Majesty gave you the land and didn’t tell me as your master, but told you Ziheng in advance?”
"Show me some kindness."
Shen Yi sat down next to the little old man and said with a smile: "Although the kindness is for our academy, now that the disciples are doing more things in the court, it is natural for them to know."
He looked at his old father-in-law and said, "It's just that the terrain here is a bit higher and not as flat as our academy in Jiangdu. My teacher is getting older, so it may not be convenient to get up and down in the future."
Lu Anshi rested for a while and said, "In addition to going to see Qingque, there are also two little kids. I probably won't go down the mountain."
“It’s nice here.”
The little old man nodded with satisfaction: "Wait two days and invite Brother Changping here, and he will probably be happy."
Having said this, the little old man said with emotion: "It will be enough for me to build this healthy Ganquan Academy for the rest of my life."
Shen Yi sat next to him and said with a smile: "Teacher, please don't slack off. There will be Ganquan Academy in Yandu in the future, waiting for you to manage it."
The little old man was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly: "That is a matter for the next generation of you."
Shen Yi disagreed.
"Teacher, you can probably see it."
………………
The father-in-law and son-in-law stayed on Jilong Mountain for a long time before Mr. Lu, accompanied by Mr. Shen, reluctantly descended from Jilong Mountain.
When the two of them returned home by carriage, Shen Yi keenly noticed that there were some unfamiliar faces at the door of his house.
He calmly jumped out of the carriage, then helped Mr. Lu out of the carriage, and walked towards home with a calm expression.
As soon as he reached the door of his house, Jiang Sheng hurried over and trotted over. He lowered his head slightly and said in a hasty tone, "Young Master."
"Your Majesty is here...!"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment and then understood.
The emperor most likely finished his work and sneaked out of the palace.
And she left the palace incognito.
Because if you come with a guard of honor, the ones guarding the door of Shen's house now are guards in iron armor, not "strangers" in plain clothes.
Mr. Shen frowned slightly and whispered: "Why don't you call me?"
Others didn't know where Shen Yi went, but Jiang Sheng knew.
Jiang Sheng lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has just arrived at tea time. Our family went to inform the young master that they just left..."
Shen Yi nodded silently, looked back at Master Lu who was still a little confused, and said softly: "Teacher, His Majesty is here at home."
Lu Anshi looked serious, adjusted his clothes, and said, "Zi Heng, are you going to meet the saint, or should we go together?"
"Let's go together."
Shen Yi walked side by side with Master Lu, walking towards his home, and asked: "Your Majesty, is someone accompanying you..."
Before he could even ask the question "?", he suddenly turned around and saw his son playing with a little girl of the same age, chasing each other.
Because they were of the same age, the two little ones had a lot of fun. The little girl ran after Shen Yuan for a while, then she lost her balance and fell straight up. Then she sat down on the ground and howled loudly.
Several plainclothes eunuchs who were watching the little girl not far away ran over to serve her, but were stopped by a plainclothes eunuch standing nearby and did not move.
Shen Yuan scratched his head, a little at a loss. Suddenly he looked up and saw Shen Yi standing beside him, about to run over. Shen Yi shook his head slightly at him, and then said to Jiang Sheng: "You are here watching them play, don't let them Something happened to them."
Jiang Sheng lowered his head and said yes.
Shen Yi and Master Lu finally arrived at the main hall of their home.
In the main hall, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the main seat, talking to Shen Heng. Although Shen Heng was also sitting, he was trembling and stumbling when he spoke.
As for his father, Shen Zhang, he was not at home. He went out to drink with his colleagues from the Jin Palace.
Shen Yi quickly stepped forward, and together with Master Lu, he was about to salute.
"Your Majesty, Shen Yi, has met with you."
"Caomin Lu Jizhong, pays homage to His Majesty."
His Majesty the Emperor, who was dressed in light blue brocade clothes, smiled and waved his hand.
"No need to be polite, just sit and talk."
After Weng and his son-in-law sat down, the emperor smiled and said, "It's rare that I have some free time today. Where have you two been?"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I went to Jilong Mountain to see the land that His Majesty rewarded. My father-in-law was very happy and was about to thank His Majesty for his kindness in person."
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would leave the palace in person."
"I have been very busy these days with matters inside and outside the palace."
His Majesty the Emperor took a sip of tea and sighed: "Only at the end of the year do I know that I have so many relatives."
"I was so busy that I felt dizzy, so I came out of the palace to get some fresh air."
"By the way, I brought Wan'er out too."
The emperor smiled at Shen Yi and said: "She and my Cheng Zhilang were born in the same year, the same month and the same day, and they get along very well in the palace."
In the past year, Shen Yuan has visited the palace a lot and has basically gotten to know all the princes and princesses in the palace.
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "I just saw it. The eldest princess fell down and cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining."
"Ouch."
The emperor quickly asked: "Isn't it where you didn't fall?"
"should not."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "When I came over, the eldest princess had stopped crying."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I took her out of the palace secretly, but she fell and was injured. The Queen Mother can't spare me."
Shen Yi exchanged a few jokes with the emperor, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
Shen Heng glanced at his brother with admiring eyes.
I'm afraid there are not many people in the entire court who can chat and laugh with His Majesty the Emperor!
Afterwards, Mr. Lu said a few words of thanks and then led Shen Heng out of the venue very sensibly.
In the main hall, only the monarch and his ministers were left.
After the two people chatted for a while about the progress of the imperial court's preparations for the Northern Expedition, the emperor tapped the table lightly with his hand and said lightly: "I just received the news."
"The new emperor of the Hu people in the north has changed his Yuan Dynasty."
Shen Yi was stunned and asked: "What year?"
The emperor took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Zhaowu."
