Qian Song

Chapter 433 Li Cun chooses his son-in-law

...

Through layers of screening, a group of three hundred young talents from all walks of life were selected.

Li Cun asked people to arrange various occasions for these young talents to showcase their abilities in the Forbidden City, and arranged for his adult daughters and their think tanks (mainly their mothers and close friends) to hide not far away. Choose a son-in-law in the attic.

Li Cun also came to the scene in person, watched the performance of these young talents, and combined with the information collected by the Wu Desi, the pro-military Duwei Mansion and the intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Department, he helped his daughters choose their ideal husband.

Seeing Li Cun's arrival, among Li Cun's daughters, the clever one came to ask Li Cun's opinion.

Li Cun will also recommend young talents he is optimistic about to his daughters from the perspective of a father.

To be honest, some of the young talents that Li Cun is optimistic about are not the young talents that Li Cun's daughters are optimistic about.

For example, one of the ordinary-looking dark green... middle-aged.

This dark middle-aged man named Zhang and named Ping was originally just an ordinary farmer's son. Later, because he cultivated the land very well and liked to study the techniques of farming, he was recommended by Guo Yong, who was the magistrate of Songyang County at that time. Royal Academy of Sciences, as an agricultural researcher.

It is not difficult to see from Zhang Ping's resume that Zhang Ping has been devoting himself to the research of rice hybridization technology for these years. He is now 35 years old and has not yet married. The key point is that he has not made any achievements so far.

Such a "young talent" who has no family background, looks without looks, and is old enough to be the father of Li Cun's daughters, who can appreciate it?
Seeing that his daughters were unwilling to even look at Zhang Ping, Li Cun didn't say anything.

Marriage is their own.

Although Li Cun was the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty.

Although Li Cun is the father of his daughters.

But Li Cun still hopes that his daughters can choose a marriage partner they like.

Furthermore, these young talents have already been screened through layers.

Wu Desi, the pro-military Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department have already dug out eight generations of their ancestors.

The key point is that the last hurdle for the information of these young talents was checked by Li Cun himself.

It can be said that no matter who is selected by Li Cun's daughters, the result will not be too bad.

Therefore, if no one chooses Zhang Ping, Li Cun will only regret that Zhang Ping cannot be his son-in-law, and will not force any of his daughters to marry Zhang Ping.

No, at this moment a slightly cold voice sounded: "Father, my son is willing to marry Mr. Zhang."

Li Cun looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that the speaker was an intellectual girl with delicate features.

This girl is Li Cun's fifth daughter - Li Qingming.

To be honest, Li Cun used 24 solar terms to name his first 24 daughters, which was a bit sloppy.

Those called "Bailu" and "Frost's Descent" are really nice.

But those called "rainwater" and "spring equinox" are too indecent.

Among them, the most ugly name is "Qingming", which looks like it is going to sacrifice.

At the beginning, Li Cun was busy fighting wars and establishing the Daqian Dynasty. Even if he had time, he was busy playing with women and having more children. He really didn't realize that the names he gave to some of his daughters were inappropriate.

When Li Cun realized that his fifth daughter was named "Li Qingming", it was already difficult to change her name.

Also, if Li Qingming's name is changed, the 24 solar terms will not be complete.

Fortunately, Li Qingming is very sensible. She said at a young age that many women do not have names, but she is luckier than many women if she has a name, and she likes the name "Qingming" very much.

Because Li Cun felt that he owed Li Qingming a little in terms of his name, when choosing husbands for his daughters, Li Cun wanted to take care of Li Qingming and choose a better husband for Li Qingming.

I don't want to, after so many years, Li Cun's children, who are about the same age as Li Qingming, have already picked very good husbands, but Li Qingming has never picked a favorite one.

As a result, Li Qingming was left behind so slowly, and had to audition for a husband-in-law with a large group of younger sisters who were one or two years younger than her.

Seeing that Li Qingming stood up and expressed that she was willing to marry Zhang Ping, Li Qingming's mother, Ding Zhaoyi, who was born in the Ding family of the Muzhou family, was in a hurry. She never expected that Li Qingming would not be selected by so many young talents from the family of high-ranking officials and nobles. , but now he chose Zhang Ping, a worthless poor boy!
Ding Zhaoyi wanted to speak out to stop Li Qingming.

But Li was here, and Ding Zhaoyi didn't dare to speak out, so she could only wink at Li Qingming, telling Li Qingming to change his mind quickly.

Li Cun didn't seem to see Ding Zhaoyi winking at Li Qingming, he asked Li Qingming calmly: "No one else chooses Zhang Ping, Qingming why did you choose Zhang Ping?"

Li Qingming said: "For one thing, my father is a fairy-like figure. If my father said that Mr. Zhang is a young talent, Mr. Zhang must be a young talent, worthy of marriage."

As soon as Li Qingzhao said this, many people reacted.

Who is Li Cun?Li Cun is the most powerful person in the world today, not one of them. Since he said that Zhang Ping is a young talent, then Zhang Ping must be a young talent.

The point is, in Li Cun's life, one of the most admirable abilities is Li Cun's knowledge of people.

——There have been too many examples to prove that Li Cun has never been wrong when looking at people.

Taking a step back, even if Zhang Ping is not a young talent, Li Cun definitely has a way to turn Zhang Ping into a young talent, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of Li Cun.

The key point is that no matter how many Li Cun's daughters are, Li Cun will never cheat his own daughters, choose someone who can't do it as his son-in-law, what is Li Cuntu doing?

Therefore, since Li Cun recommended Zhang Ping to his daughters, it means that Zhang Ping is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Li Qingming continued: "Secondly, the father is the king, and you are not joking. If you let your daughters marry Mr. Zhang, one of the daughters must marry Mr. Zhang; the father is the father, and you follow the father at home. If you recommend Mr. Zhang, one of the daughters must marry Mr. Zhang. Since the younger sisters are not willing to marry Mr. Zhang, and Qingming is the older sister, then Qingming will marry Mr. Zhang."

When Li Cun heard this, he felt very relieved, and said to the left and right: "I have a daughter like this, what can I ask for?"

Others also felt that Li Qingming was very sensible and praised Li Qingzhao for his loyalty and filial piety.

Since Li Qingming was so sensible, Li Cun had to give Li Qingming an explanation, so that Li Qingzhao could have an explanation to Ding Zhaoyi.

Li Cun said: "Although Zhang Ping's family background is not high, he works hard, studies hard, and is patient. These are the basic qualities for great things. Ten years ago, he accidentally discovered a rice plant with special characteristics in a test field. He used The rice plant was tested and found that its progeny had different properties. Because the rice is self-pollinated, there will be no segregation of traits, so he deduced that it should be a natural hybrid rice. Then he artificially removed the male flowers of the monoecious rice and fertilized them. Take pollen from another variety and try to produce a hybrid..."

After a pause, Li Cunzhi said conclusively: "He is on the right track. He understands that if he wants to take advantage of rice heterosis, the first priority is to use male sterility, then he will definitely not be too far away from success."

Speaking of this, Li Cun looked at the more than 300 young talents below, and said: "Some of them will become great officials in the future, some will protect their families and defend the country, and even open up territories for me, and some will invent Things that come out to improve human life, but nothing can be compared with Zhang Ping, what Zhang Ping developed is to use agricultural science and technology to defeat the threat of hunger, if Zhang Ping succeeds one day, it will be for the present and benefit for the future."

Speaking of this, Li Cun looked at Li Qingming and said softly: "I believe in the emperor, you will definitely be proud of today's choice in the future."

Those present never expected that Zhang Ping would have such great potential.

At the same time, many people can't figure it out, can a stinky farmer achieve such a high achievement?
But then again, everyone can disbelieve Zhang Ping, but they can't disbelieve Li Cun, the most knowledgeable father.

Therefore, after experiencing Zhang Ping and Li Qingming's incident, Li Cun's daughters began pestering Li Cun to recommend them husbands.

How could Li Cun care about his daughters? He continued to patiently recommend young talents he was optimistic about to his daughters.

Different from before, this time Li Cun recommends it again, no matter who it is, Li Cun's daughters are rushing to ask for it.

Of course, among Li Cun's daughters, there are also quite a few who have their own opinions, or they listen to their mothers and girlfriends and choose their favorite husbands.

In this regard, Li Cun did not stop.

Still the same sentence, Li Cun's daughter can pick whoever can get here, and she won't pick too bad ones.

However, there are still some differences between the son-in-law chosen by Li Cun and the son-in-law chosen by the mothers of Li Cun's daughters.

That is, most of Li Cuntiao's sons-in-law came from poor families.

Most of the sons-in-law chosen by the mothers of Li Cun's daughters were from wealthy families or families of high-ranking officials.

After the news spread, Li Cun's reputation of attaching importance to children from poor families was once again confirmed.

This is not a misunderstanding of Li Cun, Li Cun really pays more attention to the children of the poor family, and is more willing to promote the children of the poor family.

In fact, it is not just Li Cun, the emperors of all dynasties, especially those wise emperors, like to reuse the children of poor families.

The reasons why the wise emperors of all dynasties have such a consensus are as follows:

First of all, children from poor families have more real talents and learning. They are born in poverty, have experienced ups and downs, and have a deep understanding of the hardships of the people. Therefore, they not only have theoretical knowledge, but also have practical capabilities. Shi Zigao——If it weren't for this, they would never have been able to escape from the bottom.

In addition, the children of poor families do not have any powerful backgrounds, and have no ties to princes and nobles. The emperor uses them without worrying that these people will threaten his rule if they become powerful.

Furthermore, the policy of ignoring the people by the feudal emperors gave the common people at the bottom a hope, a chance to stand out and honor their ancestors. As long as the common people can study hard, they can realize their life vision, so that they don’t have to find other ways out, such as rebellion. , In other words, appointing more children from poor families can maintain stability.

Generally speaking, the emperor used the children from the poor family because of their own talents and abilities on the one hand, and because the emperor wanted to maintain his rule and meet the needs of the country on the other hand.

In other words, the emperor chose children from poor families to strengthen his own rule.

For example, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, in order to restrain the power of the nobility, the emperor gradually promoted the children of poor families into institutions as subordinates, so as to weaken the power of the old forces of the noble families.

Another example is that in order to expand the imperial power's control over the local area, Emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty would send his sons to serve in the local area, and select a large number of children from poor families to serve as his son's helpers. This was called "Dian Zhu" in the Liu Song Dynasty.

Li Cun was also worried that certain aristocratic families in the Daqian Dynasty would gradually grow bigger, threatening the rule of himself or his descendants.

Therefore, Li Cun is also an emperor who puts more emphasis on children from poor families.

In this way, Li Cun also obtained an unexpected harvest, that is, it gave Li Cun a better reputation among the people.

The important matter of choosing a son-in-law, even if it is to enter the "finals", cannot be completed in a day.

In fact, Li Cun gave his daughters three days.

And for these three days, Li Cun would appear in person every day.

——This matter is related to the lifelong happiness of Li Cun's daughters. No matter how busy Li Cun is, he has to spare time to check on them personally.

This also makes it possible that even if these young talents cannot marry Li Cun's daughter in the end, as long as they show their talents, they can still be appointed by the court, and even reused by Li Cun, so that they will not return empty-handed.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that this grand ceremony really deserves its reputation.

And when this grand ceremony reached its peak, it was still at the time of offering sacrifices.

This sacrifice is actually a kind of suburban ceremony, a grand ceremony for the emperor to worship the heaven and the earth, a symbol of the emperor's status, and a sign of the legalization of the regime.

Worshiping heaven is an activity that the rulers of all dynasties attached great importance to, and it is a national ceremony.

The etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven in the Dagan Dynasty is mainly manifested in the "three-year-old one-parent suburban system", that is, once every three years, at the Temple of Heaven in the suburbs, Li Cun personally presides over offering sacrifices to Haotian.

This is not only different from the rituals held by the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty in person every year, but also different from that of the descendants.

The "three-year-old one-parent suburban system" is said to have begun with Qin Shihuang, but it seems that it was not really implemented before the Song Dynasty.

The "three-year-old one-parent suburban system" in the Song Dynasty was custom-made during Song Renzong's time, and it has been pursued since then.

The Dagan Dynasty inherited this suburban system.

but--

Because Li Cun doesn't have time every winter solstice, or even stays in the capital every winter solstice.

Therefore, when the suburban ceremony of the Daqian Dynasty will be held depends entirely on Li Cun's mood.

This seems to be a bit back to the situation before Song Renzong.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was grand and cumbersome. What Li Cun hated the most was that he had to abstinence for seven days.

This is actually one of the reasons why Li Cun is unwilling to engage in sacrifices.

Yes.

Li Cun can also willfully not follow this link.

But unlike when he was young, he didn't believe in anything, was afraid of anything, and was afraid of everything. When he got old, Li Cun had a certain sense of reverence for ghosts and gods.

What's more, Li Cun's rebirth is such an unimaginable thing that can happen, what else can't happen?

Moreover, Li Cun also hopes that the gods and Buddhas that may exist in the dark will bless the Dagan Dynasty to win this national fortune, let Yue Fei and the others defeat the Jin Army, and let the Dagan Dynasty regain the Northeast.

Therefore, although every abstinence would make Li Cun feel uncomfortable, even scratching his heart, but for the sake of the national fortune of the Daqian Dynasty, Li Cun still obeyed the abstinence honestly every time.

In addition, for Li Cun, there is nothing difficult to accept. He only needs to follow the guidance of the etiquette officer and complete the prescribed actions that he is already familiar with.

Among the folks of the Dagan Dynasty, offering sacrifices was also an important festival.

On this day, the people of the Dagan Dynasty, rich or poor, will change into new clothes, prepare meals, and worship their ancestors.Officials release Guanpu and celebrate exchanges, just like New Year's Day.

After the Jiao ceremony, Li Cun walked down the altar slowly, and entered the Duancheng Hall of Linjiao Palace.

And all the officials set up a collection, and they congratulated one after another.

When a suburban ceremony is held, a suburban amnesty is generally implemented at the same time.

Li Cun's pardon for the suburbs said:
"Emperor Wu's birth is a career that has been created for thousands of years; the Ming Dynasty made rites, and it is the word of the second. I respectfully accept Xiuguang, and I will always remember Pixu..."

So far, Li has been on the throne for 14 years, amnesty 15 times, Qu amnesty 11 times, and Deyin 27 times.

Amnesty refers to the general pardon or commutation of sentences for convicted criminals across the country.

Qu amnesty is a kind of amnesty decree, which does not pardon the whole world but only one, two or several places.

Deyin is also a kind of amnesty, and its scope of application is narrower than amnesty and wider than Qu's amnesty.

Different from the decisive killings outside, in the Dagan Dynasty, especially to the Han people, Li Cun's administration has always been very lenient and kind, so many ministers of the Dagan Dynasty think: the sage is the most benevolent, the great intentions of Yao and Shun...

Adding one piece to the two-day monthly pass is not enough for 100...

55555...

I'm not in the mood to code.

That...that's a lie. In fact, the child finished the competition in the past two days. I took him around the capital. The coding time is short and the coding environment is poor, so today's update is too late.

I beg my brothers to forgive me.

To be honest, I have never taken my child out to play, and this time it was hard to come out. I want to spend as much time as possible to play with him.

Of course, I will definitely work hard on the update.

Keep updating as much as possible.

Finally, ask for a monthly ticket to support it!
