The palace was renovated by the former Governor's Palace. Ye Qing has not expanded it in the past two years. From the perspective of the palace, it is not spacious. However, the decoration and regulations have been renovated, and the green brick paving has been supervised.
Moreover, except for the Queen Mother and the Princess, there is no other royal family, which does not seem crowded. It even makes the palace seem empty, and provides a group of young girls with innocent family backgrounds for them to choose from.
Ye Qing was accompanied by his own soldiers, and passed through a garden along the road. The sun shone brightly, and after only walking a few steps, he felt a slight sweat on his back. At this time, there was a clear and crisp sound of the piano in the distance, and sometimes the water dropped in the cold spring, and sometimes the bean beads exploded on the plate.
Ye Qing couldn't help but listen and smiled: "This must be Wen Ji, she is so silent."
He arrived at the door with a bright smile and said: "I would like to see you."
The palace maid hurriedly called in, and Ye Qing went in and saw the Queen Mother listening quietly on the cloud bed, while a woman not far away was sitting and playing the piano with concentration.
When the girls waiting on both sides saw Ye Qing coming in, they saluted without saying a word. Cai Wenji was startled, and when she saw it was Ye Qing, she stopped playing and stood up to salute.
"Everyone, please get up." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he bowed again: "I have met the Queen Mother."
After a pause, he asked: "Is the Queen Mother still satisfied with them?"
"It's not bad." The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the cloud bed, said with a smile. Although all of these young ladies had light daisy and low eyebrows, their looks were still not as good as those in the palace. That's fine. She was not an emperor, so she had no need for women.
But Ye Qing suddenly provided one hundred and seventy girls, all of whom were chosen by herself, and also ordered: "From now on, all the people in the palace will be judged by the Queen Mother."
Many people do not understand this key point. The selection, rewards and punishments of the people around them are the basis for ensuring that mother and daughter will not suffer from inexplicable "severe illnesses".
This made the Queen Mother really feel at ease and selected twenty, which were very suitable for filling in the small palace.
"The treatment system in Yuzhou cannot be compared with the original, and the palace is temporary. I am very frightened. However, I am going to Luo to challenge Dong soon, so I feel that there is no need to spend this unjust money."
Ye Qing said, and then turned to Cai Wenji: "Wenji, how is the collection of books in Wenyuan Pavilion?"
Only then did I take a closer look, and I saw that the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, although she could still be considered to have greasy skin, an angry smile, bright eyes and white teeth, was indeed not stunningly beautiful.
She is the daughter of Cai Yong. She is knowledgeable and literary, and is good at poetry and music. Historically, she first married Wei Zhongdao. Her husband died without children and she returned to her mother's family. She was also kidnapped to the Southern Xiongnu due to the invasion of the Huns. Ye Qing valued her most.
It's just that she is very talented.
After changing her fate, Ye Qing appointed Cai Wenji to collect books during the first interview.
Not only that, before the books were burned, Ye Qing sent people to collect various atlases and recorded them in Chuanlin Notes.
Seeing Dinghou's inquiry, Cai Wenji calmed down and said slowly: "I have four thousand volumes of books in my house. They have been moved here this time. If Dinghou is interested, I have asked people to copy them. But for the other ten thousand volumes of books, please order them."
"Hou is considerate, this little girl is lonely and weak, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to do this."
Ye Qing listened with a smile and said with a smile: "Of course you can't do it alone. Please ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to serve as the female official of Wenyuan Pavilion. With this name, there will be subordinates, so it can be done."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "This is a literary matter, a good thing, and I will fulfill it. Now I will appoint you as the female official of Wenyuan Pavilion - how many stones?"
Ye Qing bowed and said: "Let's settle on two hundred stones first."
Cai Wenji glanced at the Queen Mother and Ye Qing, said nothing, and only bowed in response.
Ye Qing looked at it again and said: "This is the palace. I shouldn't come here frequently. It's just that this palace was first built, so I have to visit it in person, so as not to neglect the Queen Mother's daily life."
"Now that I see that the Queen Mother is satisfied, I feel relieved - but the banquet is coming, so I would like to ask the Queen Mother to move over.
Now the main hall can accommodate hundreds of people. The Queen Mother entered through the main entrance and did not come down until Danqi. At this time, there were more than a hundred civil and military officials, and they all saluted the Queen Mother when they saw her.
Then the music started loudly, and everyone filed in solemnly according to their rank.
Seeing this, Ye Qing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Serve the banquet."
In the sound of music, hundreds of officials thanked each other. In the single banquet system implemented in the Han Dynasty, hundreds of tables were arranged neatly into the palace. Ye Qing invited the Queen Mother to sit at the table, and then sat down.
For a moment, the banquet was filled with people drinking and drinking, Xiao, Sheng, Di, and Qin were playing, and a girl in palace clothes entered the stage gracefully. Ye Qing listened carefully and felt that the level was not bad.
I had some wine and food, but it was very good.
We can't talk about the steel industry, but some of the knowledge and technologies left by Ye Qing can make the wine industry, textile industry, and iron industry take a step forward. This not only strengthens Yuzhou's strength, but also makes iron pot cooking different from cooking in the world.
Let the little princess Ning Ji eat happily.
But except for the careless little princess, no one came to this banquet just to eat.
At this time, Ye Qing was sitting in the side seat, bowing respectfully to the Queen Mother without alienation, speaking without any hindrance, and the atmosphere was harmonious... At least it seemed so on the surface, which was enough politically.
Some caring people were very happy when they saw it.
Many ministers were specially recalled from other places to support the occasion. They were a little restrained at first, but when they saw the lord of the royal family sitting on the side seat, they felt much more comfortable - they saw the lord sitting upright, with his hair tied up in a high crown, not angry.
Wei Duan is becoming more and more like a human being.
Ye Qing looked down and saw the gathering of civil and military personnel. Although many generals were not present, it seemed that there was a lot of red and gold luck filling the air, gathering into one, which was very impressive.
Ye Qing couldn't help but smile. Two years ago, before he left, Xi Zhicai recommended himself and was included in the system.
Although he later left, he still had instructions left to his clone. When Guo Jia returned from his study tour, he was immediately recruited by "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".
Both Guo and Xi are good at praising the military, especially Guo Jia, who is known as a "ghost genius". In Ye Qing's opinion, he is more suitable to be a military advisor than Lu Shangjing's Xu Shu.
Lu Shangjing returned to be good at government affairs early and was assigned to runan county in western Henan.
Zhuge Jin was released to serve as Chen Guoxiang, while his uncle Zhuge Xuan stayed in the state government and served as a civil servant.
The first person at the palace banquet this time, besides Lu Shangjing, was Er Xun. These uncles and nephews were quite interesting. Xun was twenty-eight years old, six years younger than Xun You, but he was an uncle in terms of seniority.
Xun You has been known as the "talent of Wang Zuo" since he was a child. He is good at broad policies and a prudent gentleman, while Xun You is good at specific strategies and is good at hiding and protecting himself. The two uncles and nephews have personalities that complement each other and are good friends.
Kuang Kuang had close contacts with outstanding scholars such as Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Zao Zhi.
The Xun family was also very famous in Yuzhou. The two Xun uncles and nephews responded to the call of the Assassin Mansion, which was a signal, and a large number of people from poor families joined Yingxi. The level of internal affairs has improved several levels in the past two years, and many Ye Qing's original
Plans that could not be implemented can now be tested.
Thinking like this, Ye Qing's eyes fell on a middle-aged official in the room.
He has a dark appearance and the same temperament as an old farmer. Based on his appearance alone, no one would have thought that he was the chief officer of the farm, the commander of the farm, Zaozhi.
But someone like this old farmer had a reputation in the Central Plains and even the North. In the past two years, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had been constantly competing for it... In fact, due to Xun's effective introduction in history, it was Cao Cao who gained this person's favor first.
According to historical records, Zao Zhi pioneered the "field farming system". He encouraged farming for several years and accumulated millions of dendrobium. He also ordered each prefecture and county to set up field officials. The location was fertile. Therefore, Cao Cao had to use troops from all directions to transport without labor, and he was able to win and conquer.
, merge the heroes...
Evaluating based on this kind of merit, among the Cao family's heroes, Zao Zhi should be at the top of the list, and they would not give in to the two Xun and one Guo.
Looking carefully, we can see that the golden aura all over this man's body is gathered together and connected together, without a trace of color, but there is a gray and black aura outside.
I sighed secretly in my heart: "This person is in charge of farming, which is beneficial to the people and meritorious to the country. He is really very arrogant, but he hates the powerful and is full of calamity."
At this time, the husband and wife would sit down and kneel together at the banquet, sharing the same mat and table, but the dining utensils were separated, which was a very hygienic habit.
In the Han system, the right is respected, so Qianqian and Cao Baijing sat on the left side of Ye Qing. At this time, the girl Zhenren first noticed her husband's gaze and secretly sent a message: "The governor can give up two Xun and one Guo, because he relies on the alliance and the magician group
, I firmly believe that historical knowledge is enough to offset the advantages of a wise man, but I have never given up on this person... I think that most people on the ground cannot produce food in the soil. It seems that my husband has taken advantage of it?"
"Well, people at the master level of logistics are rare and indispensable in any era. Yingzhou has not had such a person in these years. Most of the deacons in Xiangtian Hall on the ground are under the command of Zaozhi.
, just to let them learn from it." Ye Qing poured her a glass of wine, and Hao Hao poured another glass for Cao Baijing.
He glanced at Zao Zhi with a smile: "But this grandmaster's reform is too drastic. This is the farming system that was formed from the fusion of the Qin State's national farming system and the Han Dynasty's farming and border guarding policy. Strictly speaking, it is a state-owned vertical system.
, basically snatching away the interests of local powerful people, even Xun's outstanding vision and heroic hero could only barely restrain his own family, but could not block this adverse tide for his husband."
Ye Qing naturally implemented this, but he did not dare to promote it all at once. He first let Zao Zhi be cultivated in Xuchang as a trial field. In the first year, one million dendrobiums of grain were obtained. Yingchuan County's grain output increased greatly, and the army was expanded to 50,000.
With this great achievement, he was appointed as the captain of the field three days ago. At the same time, he established field officials in various counties and counties, and Zaozhi was in charge of the whole state's field affairs.
"A husband is best at farming, but surrounded by wolves, a husband has to create a living space. Otherwise, your wife and children will not be safe."
"Thank you madam for your kind words." Ye Qing's mouth twitched and he immediately counterattacked: "By the way, how do you feel about turning over and becoming a real wife?"
"Hmph... Husband, you can sell it privately. Do you dare to ask in front of my cousin?" Qianqian despised him.
Ye Qing couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the banquet pass, Ye Qing stood up.
As soon as Ye Qing stood still, more than a hundred people in the large hall immediately fell silent, not even hearing a cough.
Ye Qing spoke seriously in the silence, his voice resounding: "The Great Patriarch was born and died to create a foundation, his glory and military power brought peace to the world, and he revived the decadence of the past century."
"It will be another two hundred years. First, a group of thieves rebelled, and there was smoke and dust everywhere. Then there were Dong thieves who killed the emperor, and the Han Dynasty collapsed. At this time, as a member of the Han Dynasty, how can I stand aside and create peace again?
A prosperous age is my wish."
"Fortunately, the Empress Dowager came to Xuchang, gave the late emperor's orders, and decided to inspect the two states. The Empress Dowager is so sincere to the world. I am very frightened and grateful. I should lead the army to follow. If there is anyone who makes trouble and rebels, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, I will
How can an official be stingy with conquests and killings?"
The last sentence was full of murderous intent. Even though more than a hundred people were mentally prepared, they still shuddered and changed color after hearing it.
