One thousand four hundred and eighty-ninth royal education 1
Shanglin Garden in July is full of fruits, it is the most beautiful time of the year.
A large number of peaches, pears, plums, and chestnuts are all hanging on the branches.
Of course, the most spectacular thing in Shanglin Garden today is the jujube trees all over the mountains and plains.
One jujube tree after another, laden with fruits, is the symbol of Shanglin Garden, the pride of Shanglin Garden, and the hope of Shanglin Garden.
These date trees are a symbol of wealth.
In the past seven years, the two garden supervisors of Shanglin Garden, Cen Mai and Sima An, actively and efficiently promoted the planting of jujube trees in Shanglin Garden.
As of today, almost all the places where jujube trees can be planted in Shanglin Garden have been planted.
Even in the places where mulberry trees should be planted in front of people's houses, there are also many jujube saplings.
Sitting on the carriage, Liu Che felt very excited as he looked at the jujube trees that were either already bearing fruit, or were already flourishing, or were struggling to grow.
In today's era, the small farmer economy is the mainstay and the commodity economy is the supplement.
If a farmer can own a jujube tree, it is basically equivalent to owning the capital of a well-off society - although all the jujube trees in Shanglin Garden are not owned by them.
However, when they were in Shanglin Garden, the fruits of the jujube trees that belonged to their residential areas were at their disposal.
If a jujube tree begins to bear fruit, it can bear as little as dozens of kilograms or as much as more than a hundred kilograms in one year.
The purchase price within the Shaofu is fifteen yuan per catty, and a jujube tree can provide the people with an income ranging from hundreds to more than a thousand yuan a year.
This is equivalent to the output of more than ten acres of land.
In addition to jujube trees, the second largest population in Shanglin Garden today are deer.
Back then, when Liu Che was still the prince, he raised more than 800 deer for the common people.
The condition is that each deer must be rented to Liu Che for five cents per day, and the rent will be repaid after the deer grows up and the money is sold.
At the same time, all fawns produced by the female deer belong to the farmer.
This policy has been in effect for more than eight years.
The deer herd in Shanglinyuan has multiplied rapidly in the past eight years, and today, it has reached a size of seven to eight thousand.
Almost all eligible families will take one or several deer home to raise them.
Although deer are delicate things, as long as they are properly raised and taken care of, they will not easily get sick.
The money earned from cutting off the antlers and selling them to the young master every year is enough to pay for all the fake deer.
However, the fawns produced by the herd belong entirely to the farmers.
In the entire Shanglin Garden, the custom of raising deer has become popular for a while.
The deer herd brought sufficient income to the people.
It also made the Shaofu make a lot of money. Not to mention, the antlers turned in by farmers every year to offset rent taxes are worth tens of millions!
In addition, deer skin, venison, and deer bones are all money.
During the whole process, the Shaofu only took a total of about two thousand deer and gave them to the people (most of these deer were not paid for. Cen Mai and Sima An led the army to catch them from the mountains near Shanglin Garden.
The returning wild deer).
After that, there is nothing to do, no need to put in any effort, you can just lie down and collect the money.
The people were still willing to do it, happy to do so, and even shed tears of gratitude.
Due to the jujube tree policy and the fake deer policy, both Cen Mai and Sima An have perfect scores in Shanglinyuan's reputation!
Many families even established sacrifices for these two garden supervisors - although these two people are still very active.
"It's a pity... these two policies cannot be promoted..." Liu Che sighed in his heart.
Whether it is a jujube tree or a fake deer, it is unlikely that it will spread throughout the world.
The reason is also very simple. Liu Che and the Shaofu cannot ruin their own jobs.
If every household in the world could produce dates and raise deer, then the dates, antlers, and deer skins would be worthless.
Furthermore, outside of Shanglinyuan, other places do not have the conditions for large-scale breeding and planting.
And if it cannot be scaled up, it will be difficult to realize the benefits.
The carriage passed through the road of Shanglin Garden and arrived in front of the school of Sixian Garden.
Here, the academy instructor, who had already accepted the order, was already waiting by the road with the emperor's eldest son Liu Bing.
"Father!" Liu Bing is six years old, but he doesn't have any of the problems of other members of the royal family.
For more than three years, the eldest son of the emperor got up on time, ate on time, read on time, and trained on time every day.
According to the instructor's report, his combat effectiveness is pretty good.
In the academy, I had a total of thirteen duels with my peers and classmates, winning five times and losing eight times.
It may seem weak, but in fact most of his failures occurred in the first year.
In the past year, he has never lost.
Although he might get beaten up sometimes and his face would be bruised, he would eventually suppress his friend.
Therefore, Liu Che knew that it was time for him to receive further education as a king.
"I'm sick, let's get in the car..." Liu Che looked at his eldest son, although he wanted to hold him in his arms and dote on him just like he doted on Taotao and Chengcheng.
But Liu Che knew that doing so might harm his son.
Therefore, he had a straight face and a serious look on his face, which made Liu Bingji terrified.
He has been afraid and fearful of his father since he was a child.
If he was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman, he would probably be trembling and unable to control himself at this moment.
But unfortunately, although he was born in a deep palace, he grew up with iron blood.
What accompanied his growth was not the flattery and careful service of the eunuchs in the palace, nor the arrogance and pampering of women.
But iron and blood, sword and sword.
What we hear and see are the heroes who have retired from the battlefield and their high-spirited aspirations.
Therefore, although Liu Bing was very young, he already had some manly qualities.
Therefore, in front of his father, no matter how scared he is, he will not be afraid or flinch.
He bowed to Liu Che in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, then climbed onto the carriage, knelt at Liu Che's feet, and asked, "Father, what are your orders when you come to give me an edict today?"
"I will take you to a place today..." Liu Che took his hand and looked at his son, speaking with unprecedented tenderness.
Uncle Tian's death shocked Liu Che greatly.
Liu Che didn't even know if Liu Bing would be able to meet a loyal minister like Shen Tujia and Uncle Tian who would wholeheartedly serve him as a wise king when he grew up in the future.
Judging from the current situation, this possibility is already very low.
Because Liu Che himself liberated his mind and allowed hundreds of schools of thought to flourish.
An ideological environment where hundreds of schools of thought flourish will inevitably create a society full of strange things.
To use a Confucian saying, it means that the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
If people's hearts are not ancient, they will lose their simplicity.
This is the so-called foolish loyalty. Everyone will consider issues based on their own standpoint and their own interests.
It is basically impossible to think of another Uncle Tian or another Shen Tujia.
This is why in history, countless kings clearly knew that the policy of obscuring the people was a dead end, but they were still stubborn and insisted on running into it.
Even heroes like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang who started out of recklessness are not immune to this.
This is because they consider it based on the interests of their descendants.
They all dream of lasting peace and stability for eternity.
But Liu Che knew very well that what would last forever?
Even Yao, Shun, and Yu could not do it. No one in the entire history of mankind could do it.
Dynasties will inevitably experience the fate of rising, becoming strong, and declining.
Just like people, they will eventually come to an end.
Even if a constitutional monarch is used, it is the same.
In later generations of constitutional monarchy countries, there have been many calls for the abolition of the monarchy.
As for those monarchy countries that attempted to monopolize power, almost all of them have perished in the long river of history.
From a macro perspective, even the sun will burn out one day.
Therefore, Liu Che never thought that his empire would last forever.
He only knows that he has a mission and responsibility.
The mission of letting the Xia people rule the world is the responsibility of making China the heaven, the country above, and the central empire.
He even went one step further and built an unprecedented empire.
Otherwise, he will be a sinner of history and a sinner of the country.
Therefore, liberating the mind, liberating productive forces, and even lifting restrictions between classes is the direction of Liu Che's efforts.
As for the side effects and disadvantages caused by this.
Liu Che didn't care anymore.
Who dares to oppose him?
In front of him, all interest groups and nobles are nothing but scum.
However, this will also put his successor under pressure from the beginning and now.
Because Liu Che will not leave him a group of loyal ministers and filial sons in the future.
Instead, they were turned into human spirits by his whips, swords, and wrists, and became ministers of politicians.
You know, in history, even in China under Confucian rule, powerful officials came and went in an endless stream.
There are not just one or two people who regard the emperor as a puppet and an eraser.
In the future after hundreds of schools of thought have prospered, do you think the Legalists and Miscellaneous Schools will be respectful to the emperor? Will they be obedient and obedient?
What a joke!
The end of Zaijia's thoughts may be a constitutional monarchy, but it may also be a republican parliament.
As for the Legalists, although they were loyal to the emperor, but - if the emperor could not help... the Legalist ministers did not mind that they overstepped their authority and administered the government on behalf of the emperor. Maybe they could even call it the story of Duke Yi Yin of Zhou.
Even the Huanglao sect had Cao Shen in those days, and he said bluntly to Emperor Hui: Now your majesty governs with a bow, and the ministers should abide by their duties, and do not fail. Isn't that right?
Emperor, just sit on the throne and don't say anything. National affairs are the rise and fall of the world. This is the responsibility of Cao Shen!
That's what it meant. Emperor Hui couldn't speak after being talked about.
To a certain extent, the ultimate evolutionary direction of the Huang-Lao faction in the future may be a conservative and stubborn political party based on the peasantry and landlord class, similar to the American Republican Party.
Therefore, Liu Che had to leave something for his descendants to rely on.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be just cheating your children and your grandchildren?
Liu Bingji was confused, but he still nodded and sat obediently in front of his father.
