I don’t know how the news spread to the court, but it always backfired.
No, Zhao Xi and the Navy are paying attention to the matter of species, and I don’t know what the rumors in the court are about.
The general who was far away in the Western Regions sent someone to use the inn to deliver a cart of melons...
Zhao Xi didn't really like melons and fruits, but this cantaloupe...
"You guys, please think about how to divide it up and leave some for the inner garden. No matter what, it's still a source of food."
Really speechless.
I was just doing it for the sake of farming, but I really became a plaything and lost my ambition.
"Officials, according to reports from the Western Regions, this Kunlun melon was donated by the Shazhou Zhang family."
Wang Anshi felt from the official's words and tone that the official did not want to imitate Xuanzong of the previous dynasty, and there were no particularly favored and arrogant concubines in the inner court.
That's why he told the truth.
Zhao Xi glanced at Wang Anshi and knew his intentions. He was too lazy to pay attention to him!
"In the official family, when I led a partial army to conquer the Western Regions, the Shazhou Zhang family helped us a lot when our army attacked Shazhou."
What Wang Shao said is true.
It is a pity that in the entire war to annihilate Xixia, the weight of the Shazhou War was too small. Even in the final discussion of merit and rewards, no one in the entire court remembered the Shazhou Zhang family.
It has been many years. If it were not for the Kunlun Melon, even Wang Shao would have forgotten the existence of such a sandbank Zhang Family.
"Oh... Prime Minister, let the cabinet handle it as appropriate. Allow the Shazhou Zhang family to serve as officials. In terms of scientific examinations, they will be treated the same as the scholars of the dynasty."
After the imperial dynasty annihilated Xixia, it restricted party members and even the small forces in the entire Western Region from serving as court officials.
Even the party nobles just let them eat and wait to die in Bianliang.
On this issue, the imperial court's opinion is unified. As for the Western Regions, no matter the Han people, Tubo, Dangxiang, or Uighurs, they have left the Central Plains for many years and no one dares to expect them to return.
However, they were not prohibited from entering and exiting the Central Plains, nor were they restricted from doing business, nor were they even restricted from recruiting workers from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.
Some things always take time.
Only after a few years have the ethnic groups been downplayed will the court consider so-called national treatment.
It seems that this family has thoughtful people.
It has been a few years, and Zhao Xi doesn't mind giving the Zhang family a try first. However, are the troops stationed in the Western Regions and the officials in the Western Regions a little confused about the importance?
"In addition, we ordered the Huanqing garrison to switch defenses with Shazhou and Suzhou; the Yanyan garrison to switch defenses with Liangzhou; and the Linfu garrison to switch defenses with Ganzhou."
"At the same time, all civil servants in the Hexi Corridor will be transferred to the Central Plains... The cabinet will determine the officials who will serve in the Western Region as soon as possible."
"The Supervisory Office conducts routine evaluation of departure, and supervisory officers are transferred from Jiangnan Road, Jinghu Road and other places."
It is not a big deal to pay tribute to cantaloupes, and it does not matter if the Zhang family of Shazhou has their own ideas. However, it is a bit inappropriate for the troops and officials sent to garrison in the Western Regions to cooperate with the Zhang family in doing this.
Zhao Xi didn't want the Song Dynasty to have families and forces like the Zhang family that could influence the border towns.
"I obey the order!"
If the officials can do this, Wang Anshi can rest assured.
Wang Anshi was really worried that this time the Zhang family's tribute would set a precedent for the country, dynasty, local and state capitals to please the officials.
This is good. The officials let the Zhang family go, but warned the officials of the Western Regions who facilitated the tribute... This also warned the officials of the entire country.
It is said that when people have absolute rights, there is the possibility of expansion. Zhao Xi does not agree very much. There is a question of whether virtue is coordinated. If virtue is not coordinated, disaster will inevitably occur. This sentence still makes sense.
Zhao Xi's understanding of rights is more about the enlightenment of later generations, and even the formation of three views has nothing to do with this era. Zhao Xi came to this era, and he tried his best to adapt to this era and integrate into this era, but in
There is also rejection in certain things.
Moreover, no matter what, he has witnessed historical changes, and the evaluation of emperors of various dynasties by later generations always makes Zhao Xi wary and prevents him from being willful.
······
As more and more naval escorts return, they bring a lot of things, but not what Zhao Xi expected to see. The so-called rare things have really become rare things. Even Xifan’s gold coins, the navy will
Selectively send it to the official family.
Zhao Xi really didn't know if he should cancel this edict.
"In the official family, a detective from the Imperial City Bureau saw a Hu merchant chewing something in Lanzhou, so he confiscated some of it..."
Nowadays, the court is already spreading rumors about the official family. Although it is not to say that it is just a matter of playing with things, it is not a good rumor either.
It is said that the officials spend all day sorting out the rare things brought by the navy, and the government affairs have been completely handed over to the prince. However, Wang Zhongzheng knew that the officials were looking for species related to farming and mulberry.
Even the edicts given to the navy were about species, but they were just spread like this.
Therefore, he also asked the Imperial City Secretary to pay attention.
"Bring it over and have a look..."
Zhao Xi no longer had any hope, and even felt that he was a little paranoid.
"carrot?"
How could you not recognize Wang Zhongzheng when he came in with a few? How can I put it this way? When Zhao Xi came to this era, in order not to surprise people, he never commented on the food. Basically
They ate what was available, rarely mentioning the almost common foods of later generations.
I originally thought that carrots were nowhere to be seen, so I thought that carrots were introduced to the Central Plains much later. At first glance, this is indeed a bit surprising.
"Official family······"
"Zhongzheng, you..." Zhao Xi originally wanted Wang Zhongzheng to plant the carrots, but looked at the sky and saw that it was already another autumn. "Well, you plant the carrots in Wentangjian and have people take care of them carefully."
If it works, try it first. If it doesn't work, then find someone who is familiar with its habits.
As for how to plant carrots, Zhao Xi remembers that they spread seeds, which are carrot seeds. But carrots seem to produce seeds if they grow randomly... Can't remember clearly.
A carrot gave Zhao Xi hope again...Although things have specific development rules, and so does history, it should be said that the spread of species also has rules. But the carrot made Zhao Xi see the accidental
exist.
Zhao Xi was not familiar with the process of the introduction of carrots to the Central Plains, but he felt that he was a king after all. No matter what new things happened in the country, he should always hear and know something about it, especially about food.
What's more, in today's dynasty, people in the market are probably rumored to have a hobby of collecting rare things. This should create a trend...
At this time, Zhao Xi also understood. What will the navy encounter? In addition to merchants, they are pirates on the voyage, or in other words, there are no accidents in the voyage personnel. This is destined that there will be no accidents and will only follow the original trajectory.
