I'm really not doing business

Chapter 24 The Ming Emperor Hoes the Earth

Why are Jin Yiwei, Beizhen Fusi, Ti Qi and Ti Shuai, who are in charge of detective work, so embarrassed?
Because this yamen has been the only court judge in the Ming Dynasty since its establishment, and this court judge deals with foreign ministers. To deal with ministers, the emperor needs the trust of the emperor.

The main reason for Tiqi's decline is that the governor of the East Factory, who is also in charge of detective work, is closer to the emperor and more trusted by the emperor.

The Beizhen Fusi Yamen led by Lu Bing is powerful because of the emperor's trust. After Zhu Xixiao told the emperor to practice martial arts, he wanted to select a few companions to practice martial arts with His Majesty, and to accompany His Majesty. This is trust. first step.

But the emperor did not open his mouth, and the commander-in-chief Zhu Xixiao couldn't open his mouth casually, otherwise the emperor's martial arts practice might not last for a long time.

Feng Bao, as the governor of the East Factory, would naturally strongly oppose it. If he was impeached by the foreign ministers, the Chengguo government would be implicated. Wu Xun and Tiqi were already in decline, and Zhu Xixiao didn't want to ask for trouble.

But now that the emperor opened his mouth, Zhu Xixiao sensed an opportunity.

"Then find ten sword-carrying men and Xunwei to accompany you in the palace." Zhu Yijun gave the order, and as for Queen Mother Li, it was natural for him to discuss.

Zhu Xixiao was silent for a moment. He wanted to consider whether this was the only chance in his life to offend Feng Bao and revive the glory of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. He was silent for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I obey the order."

When the little emperor asked to learn martial arts, he had already been tied to a thief ship. When Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, took Tiqi to the Qing Palace, the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen offended the old ancestor Feng Bao in the palace.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It's not difficult to enter the palace, but the sword and guards are always lazy. Don't enter the palace. They can't even compare with a small yellow door. They can't suffer, let alone suffer. The small yellow door Don’t you laugh at me, it’s better to have no handles than to have handles, and it’s better to have no seeds than to have seeds?”

Zhu Xixiao gritted his teeth after hearing this, he was angry!
The anger in his heart was immediately hooked out, and his fists were hardened!
What words, what words this is!We must let the little emperor open his eyes, not all Wu Xun of Ming Dynasty are cowards!

"Mother." Zhu Yijun, who is good at arching fire, walked towards the queen mother.

When Zhu Yijun was practicing martial arts, the Empress Dowager Li was watching all the time, for fear that the little emperor would bump into him. Feng Bao was by his side and explained very clearly what happened in the Wenhua Palace in the morning, especially how lawless the Jin Party was. , and even attempted to completely control the Beijing camp by promoting generals.

In Feng Bao's words, the Jin Party has become an existence that deserves to be hacked.

And Tan Lun, who was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Jin Party, also changed from a bold and reckless minister to a loyal minister who knew his way back, reined in the precipice, and was loyal to the country in Feng Bao's mouth.

People speak from their own standpoint.

The positions of Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yijun are highly consistent. Empress Dowager Li hopes that Zhu Yijun will become a talent and take over the Daming country smoothly, while Zhu Yijun hopes that Daming will be revived and that Daming will be great again.

Seeing the sunny and cheerful little emperor, Empress Dowager Li smiled, and she asked with a smile, "Are you tired? Zhang Hong boiled some pear water today and put in some rock sugar, which is just right."

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I'm not tired, Ti Shuai is timid, and he still doesn't want to practice hard."

"Ti Shuai still has a somewhat submissive heart." After hearing this, Queen Mother Li expressed her affirmation of Zhu Xixiao, saying that Ti Shuai has a submissive heart, and it is enough to have a good appearance. It is possible that the emperor can lead the Ming army to charge into battle no?
"What did you learn today?" Queen Mother Li asked with great interest.

Zhu Yijun explained what he learned today in detail, especially about the matter of Song Renzong who valued grains but despised pearls and jade. Agreed, Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty did it, Emperor Taizu Gao also did it, and it was written in the instructions of Huangming ancestors, so the child naturally did it too."

Zhu Yijun's marriage to Nongsang has more political significance than practical significance. This is the idea of ​​Queen Mother Li.

The little emperor can still face the loess and turn his back to the sky when he is farming, and he has to do everything by himself?It's just for the eunuchs in the palace to do it.

Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "Then plant it, and use this matter to see which courtiers in the court are not obedient."

This is the advantage of a long history, precedents can always be found, and Song Renzong is highly regarded among the scholar-bureaucrats. Only after Song Renzong is denied can the emperor's marriage to Nongsang be denied.

If even the model of benevolence and forgiveness set up by the scholar-bureaucrats is to be denied, does it mean that this courtier is negating for the sake of negation?Does it mean that this courtier has no sense of obedience, just to keep the emperor in those etiquette and rules?

Take the little emperor's marriage, Nongsang, to make a nest, and then see if he can catch a few rotten scholars who stick to the rules.

As for why Emperor Taizu Gao was not mentioned, in the minds of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao killed too much, and farming was hypocritical.

For example, the Confucian Mansion in Yanzhou said that Fengyang Zhu was a petty family, and Yan Shenggong was a descendant of Kong Sheng.

There is a special insulting term, referring specifically to Emperor Taizu Gao, saying: Fengyang beggar.

Empress Dowager Li heard a folk flower drum song saying: I live in Luzhou and Fengyang. Fengyang is a good place. Since Emperor Zhu was born, there will be nine years of drought in ten years.

Since ancient times, there are few heroes who have not been slandered.

Feng Bao wanted to consolidate his position as Da Dang, Zhang Juzheng wanted to teach the emperor to combine theory with practice, and Empress Dowager Li did it for fishing, finding out those courtiers who had no respect, even the etiquette and rules established by the scholars themselves.

"The child is going." Zhu Yijun was about to leave, since he had agreed to marry Nongsang, he naturally didn't intend to put on a show.

Empress Dowager Li asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

"About farming and sang, Mr. Yuan Fu said, the emperor is the most precious man of gold, and he lives deep in Jiuchong. He has no way to know the hardships of farming and the hardships of the peasant family. Only by working hard all the year round can we stop debauchery and enjoyment, and commemorate the power of the people for relief. " Zhu Yijun said naturally.

Now that Audio-Technica has agreed to farm by himself for their own purposes, of course he has to farm the land himself.

Only then did Empress Dowager Li realize that the little emperor really planned to work in the fields!

"No, the land hasn't been leveled yet, so what are you going to do?" Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun, but she couldn't open her mouth to say, pretending is enough, don't have to work hard, the people provide for them, and there is no shortage of food in the palace .

But Empress Dowager Li couldn't say this, and she couldn't tell the little emperor that the words in the sage book were all nonsense to fool people.

Zhu Yijun asked with big eyes flashing: "Naturally, it's for leveling, isn't Mr. Yuanfu right? Work hard all the year round, or is it because the child doesn't understand arts and science, and has a wrong understanding?"

"That's right." Empress Dowager Li looked at the little emperor's sunny smile and innocent eyes, and finally waved her hand to signal the child to go.

As for the little emperor who said that he would choose Xunwei and swordsmen to accompany him to the palace, Empress Dowager Li also agreed. It was not Tiqi's fault that outsiders mixed into the palace, and Empress Dowager Li also knew what kind of mess the palace was.

The Tiqi have no authority, and they live under the East Factory, how can they dare to take care of the eunuchs in the palace?
Dongchang and Tiqi are guarding the gate of the palace, and one side can only kneel in front of the other side to answer. The Empress Dowager's support for the Tiqis, and the policy's inclination.

At the very least, it is necessary for the Tiqi to stand upright and speak in front of the eunuch, which is considered a balance.

Balance exists among all things.

Feng Bao wanted to say something, but seeing the emperor heading straight for Long Live Mountain, Feng Bao hurriedly chased after him.

Tiqi selected ten people to practice with, and Feng Bao also arranged ten small Huangmen to practice with. There are not many of them, and there are not many of them. When the time comes, whoever can't support it will lose face.

The little yellow gate in the palace can definitely hold on, because if it can't hold on, it can only stay in the Langxia house for the rest of its life, and staying in the Langxia house is worse than death.

Zhu Yijun first went back to Qianqing Palace, changed into sackcloth, and went straight to Xuanwu Gate.

When they arrived at the back mountain, many hardworking internal operations and cleaning troops had already begun to hoe the earth, and Zhu Yijun soon joined the ranks of this hoe.

In December, the manure is piled up and then composted. In the twelfth lunar month, the cow dung compost is exposed and air-dried. In the first month, the dry and hard cow dung compost is crushed, and when the soil is plowed, the compost is sprinkled in the deepest part , and then dissolve part of the compost with water and soak it again.

Zhu Yijun not only hoeed the ground, but also plowed the soil with two ox carts, and even loaded compost into the columbine carts himself. The main reason was that he was a little short, and he was a little taller than the columbine carts. He also followed several old farmers and little yellow goalkeepers. The decomposed compost was sprinkled on the land.

The deep plowing and digging of the soil requires not only spreading compost, but also weeding and removing grass roots and seeds to prevent weeds from regrowing in the spring.

The little yellow men wanted to dig three feet out of the ground and pick out every grass seed. They did things extremely meticulously. This was a good opportunity to please the emperor.

Feng Bao felt a little tired after doing farm work for an hour, but he didn't dare to rest, the emperor was digging the ground, he was an eunuch, so naturally he couldn't slack off.

Finally at sunset, Zhu Yijun returned with a full load. Behind the emperor, Zhang Hong pushed a cart of soil, which was to be placed in the Qianqing Palace. They all returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor went to wash. Zhang Hong took two In the southeast corner of Qianqing Palace, the eunuch lifted a few floor tiles to form a flower bed, which was also planted here, but instead of flowers, the flower bed was planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Empress Dowager Li looked at the flower bed, which was incompatible with the solemnity and solemnity of the Qianqing Palace, and felt a little helpless. She just shook her hand and let the emperor go.

In contrast, the emperor was not raising crickets, let alone cultivating immortals, but just planting some flowers and plants.

After dinner, Zhu Yijun took out a pencil, spread out the paper, and began to write and draw. Today he gained a lot. These old farmers are all good at farming. They talked a lot. Zhu Yijun was afraid I forgot my own and wrote it down. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

"The queen mother is here." Zhang Jing shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhu Yijun got up to greet him. Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen came together. They were a little curious about what the emperor, who had always been restless, did today.

"I've seen mother and mother." After Zhu Yijun saw the ceremony, he sat down in front of the desk and continued to record what he saw and heard today.

The Empress Dowager Chen stood behind Zhu Yijun, and asked with a smile: "Today, the emperor is practicing martial arts and farming, working so hard, what are you writing about?"

"Experience in farming, I will reply after the child finishes writing." Zhu Yijun remained motionless, looking at the blank paper in front of him with extremely firm eyes, and wrote quickly.

He used vulgar characters, which are easier to write than orthodox characters. In the process, Zhu Yijun also added punctuation marks to prevent ambiguity in his own words.

Half an hour later, the entire large sheet of paper was filled with extremely neat small characters, and then he took out his own small notebook, which was his memo, and recorded the doubts in his heart bit by bit.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen didn't mean to bother the little emperor, they just whispered beside him. The hardworking little emperor really made people feel more at ease.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were discussing whether the pencil in Zhu Yijun's hand was suspected of being inappropriate.

Writing is a part of cultivating virtue, and there are various requirements for sitting, lying, and brushwork.

Zhu Yijun finally finished writing the memo, then raised his head and said, "Mother, mother, what's the matter?"

"Just to see the emperor working hard, come and have a look." The Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile: "My sister is worried that the emperor is tired. In the past, when my sister saw me, she was always worried, and her words were full of sorrow. It's all the other way around, always worrying that the emperor is working too hard, so let me persuade you."

"What did the emperor write?"

Empress Dowager Chen was still curious about what exactly Zhu Yijun wrote.

Zhu Yijun said quite affirmatively: "The record of planting land is a kind of knowledge."

"For example, when it comes to saving sweet potatoes and potatoes, each family has its own exclusive secret method, but it can be summed up in three words, new, wet, and frozen. This kind of seed should be kept new, and the harvest of old grain seeds is very little. Plants have a dilemma, one is afraid of wetness, the other is afraid of freezing, it will be wet if it goes into the soil, and it will not be wet if it is not put into the soil, it will be frozen.”

"How to solve the dilemma?"

"Storing in a cellar, in a cellar, neither freezing nor wet, is the most appropriate."

"North of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains, the climate is extremely cold, so the seeds must have been left before the frost, otherwise they would freeze to death before entering the cellar,"

"The sowing should be done after Qingming, when there is more rain in Qingming, and about half of the seeds should be replanted after Grain Rain, because spring is often cold in the north. Before and after Qingming, there is still a slight frost, which will freeze the seedlings to death."

"There is no need to replant the fertile fields at the foot of Longevity Mountain, because Xiaohuangmen will use thick thatch to plant them and spread them to prevent freezing..."

The emperor's farming is different from that of ordinary people. There are a total of five acres of land, and nearly a hundred people take care of it. The eggs in the soil can't wait to split it in half.

However, in the military garrison of the Ming Dynasty, 100 people planted [-] mu of land, and one person had to cultivate [-] mu of land.

The planting time of the capital was slightly later than that of later generations, because the Ming Dynasty is now in the Little Ice Age.

Empress Dowager Li didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The little emperor not only played the game for real, he personally investigated and experimented, and summed up the experience and lessons very carefully.

"I have a doubt." Zhu Yijun's face was solemn.

　It is very important to follow up!Wu·Xiang·Who·Lin·Yu·Sister-in-law·Gui chanted again.Bang bang bang, I kowtow to everyone, I ask for all support, ahhhhhhhhh~~ woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
