Chapter 1951 Spring water is born (Happy New Year chapter)
Although the veterans have withdrawn from the front line, their influence on the entire Han Dynasty inside and outside more or less still exists. However, they are like the walking sticks of the Han Dynasty. If they cannot be left behind, then one day they will all
Without him, the Han court would most likely no longer be able to walk.
In the final analysis, it is because the new generation of young officials lack experience, so they still cannot do without the guidance of their veterans.
There needs to be more exchanges between local officials and central officials to enhance their experience. Li Xingchen has already made up his mind.
After the Han Dynasty, we can no longer just select talents. We also need to pay attention to the further cultivation of talents. In fact, it is not difficult to further cultivate talents. Those who can stand out in the imperial examination must also be the best among everyone.
If training is sufficiently targeted, it will be effective.
This matter must be carefully discussed with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In addition, various academies can cooperate more. These officials who already have official positions can enter the academies to study or even transfer to teach young students. This would be conducive to promoting the relationship between the court and the academies.
communication and cooperation.
From a large perspective, the academy is for the society, and from a small perspective, it is for cultivating talents for the court. Therefore, through such exchanges and training, the academy can also understand what kind of talents the court really needs now.
Li Xingchen would not disrespect a scholar who could only shake his head, but he would never want one.
What he needs is people with practical ability.
As for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was no longer a roadblock for the Han Dynasty, but a small stone on the road. What Li Xinchen had to do was to kick it away completely!
Next, there will be more roadblocks and pebbles. What Li Xingchen has to do is to walk over step by step, kill them one by one, and kick them away one by one.
In the past, the Han Dynasty's goal was the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but today, Li Xingchen no longer hides his ambitions. Countless countries around him, and even more distant lands, will plant the banner of the Han Dynasty and surrender under his feet.
Pei Zilie, standing at the head of the generals, looked at Li Xingchen's figure and thought of what Wu Mingche had imagined a long time ago after the war:
"Under the whole world, everything is the land of the king; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."
This is such a prosperous situation. Even during the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, only one generation could have achieved it.
At that time, whether Pei Zilie or Wu Mingche said such things, they were just imagining things.
Now, Pei Zilie didn't expect that these words seemed to really become a reality.
At this time, he only hoped that Wu Mingche might live longer and at least be able to see the situation in front of him.
Li Xingchen had already asked the Ministry of Household Affairs about the tax revenue expected this year, as well as the Ministry of Agriculture's preparations for this year's spring plowing. He also asked Enke from the Ministry of Rites how the preparations were, as well as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, etc.
Even after Xu Ling passed away, the court could not really stop functioning.
Abstaining from court for three days is indeed the best way to commemorate a minister who has worked hard and made great contributions, but now is the time when the court is busy with various affairs after the beginning of spring, and many things require Li Xingchen to make decisions and then adjust or implement them.
Therefore, at this time, Li Xingchen would never allow the court to stop functioning for any reason. Based on everyone's understanding of Mr. Xu Ling, if he really knew that the court would be closed for three days to commemorate him, he might be angry.
come over.
Everyone knows that the imperial court is now preparing for the upcoming battle. As long as the spring plowing goes smoothly, the imperial court will definitely launch the Northern Expedition to complete the final blow against the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Li Xingchen's eyes have turned around.
Pei Zilie raised his head, preparing to respond to Li Xingchen's inquiry.
The army of the Han Dynasty is on the alert, waiting for His Majesty's orders!
————————————
The spring of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty is not too late.
This year's spring plowing is proceeding in an orderly manner.
This is the first time that the Han Dynasty has organized spring plowing in the Central Plains. Compared with Jiangnan, Jingzhou and other places that have been stable for many years, a lot of effort has indeed been wasted this year.
Many people in the Central Plains region have already fled, and many are still hiding in the mountains or swamps. Not many people are still guarding their own three-acre land.
Precisely because they were aware of this situation, the Han Dynasty court had made sufficient preparations last winter. They continued to send people and even troops into the wilderness, and even went deep into the mountains to search for the people. Whether they were dragged away or persuaded, most of the people who fled had already returned one after another.
Home.
Perhaps many people did not believe at first that the new imperial court was so kind-hearted and did not recruit young men, but instead allowed them to go home and farm. However, in front of the Han army, they had no choice but to obey the imperial court's arrangements.
Being able to go home and farm is what many people originally dreamed of. As some people returned home to prove this, more and more people began to respond to the court's call and walked down the mountain one after another in winter. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to farm in spring,
There are not that many people at all, and we don’t know how many people will starve to death in the mountains this winter.
All in all, this year’s spring plowing went smoothly.
Li Xingchen stood in the field, thankful that it had been relatively warm these days, at least the ground was not that cold, even though it was in the north.
Helping the sledges to plow the land is the best way for every emperor to encourage farming.
There is no need for fancy Bagua fields. As long as the emperor personally walks in the fields and drives the old cows with bare feet like the old farmers, it will be the greatest encouragement to farmers all over the world.
Compared with the previous agricultural promotion ceremony held in Jiankang Prefecture, this year's event was even bigger.
After all, this is the first farming ceremony held by the imperial court in the north. Everyone wants to be lively and lively. Moreover, the north has just been owned by the Han Dynasty. This is the first spring plowing ceremony, so the imperial court also hopes to quickly stabilize people's hearts.
Most of the people in China face the loess with their backs to the sky, so there is nothing that can make them feel more excited and at ease than farming, and that His Majesty personally leads the farming. The imperial court encourages farming, which will naturally make the people have more respect for the Han Dynasty.
sense of belonging.
In order to be able to report this and let everyone in the world know what His Majesty has done, newspapers from all over the country sent people. Many people who are good at sketching were drawing quickly towards His Majesty in the fields. Of course there were no cameras in this era.
But newspapers cannot be without illustrations, so sketch illustrations are the most suitable choice.
Li Xingchen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and it felt a little warm. He was actually sweating after pushing the sledge back and forth for such a long time.
The creek not far away has lost its ice cover and the water has risen.
Spring is born, spring, the spring that Li Xingchen has been looking forward to for half a year, has finally arrived.
The Northern Expedition that I have dreamed of will begin after the spring plowing.
Everyone was looking at His Majesty, and His Majesty looked back to the north.
