Dressed as the Queen Mother to grasp the script of a strong country

Chapter 18 The New Pattern
"I admire the military strategies the Queen Mother said." Prince Li said.

All the princes praised him one after another.

"The Ai family has something to ask your majesty and princes to agree to." Liang Meng said.

"Just say whatever your mother wants to say," the emperor said.

"The Queen Mother, please speak." said the princes.

"The Ai family wants to establish Dajin Agricultural College and Dajin Engineering College." Liang Meng said.

"Dajin Agricultural College? Daijin Institute of Technology? What is the business of Daikin Agricultural College? What is the business of Daijin Institute of Technology?" asked the eldest prince.

Expectant expressions were waiting for answers on everyone's faces.

"Dajin Agricultural College, as its name suggests, is to compile the experience gained by the people in farming in Daikin on bamboo slips. Daikin Agricultural College has an agricultural officer responsible for studying how to produce more food, and at the same time, who can produce more food." The announcement that more grain will lead to money will be announced to the world.

Daikin Institute of Technology writes the experience accumulated by craftsmen all over the world in their lives on bamboo slips. Daikin Institute of Engineering is responsible for studying how to make the crafts better, and at the same time, whoever can produce better crafts can get money. The announcement is made known to the world. "Liang Mengdao.

"What the Queen Mother said is what the people need, and it is what I, Dajin, need." Prince Li said.

"What the Queen Mother said is true," the Emperor said.

The eldest prince's serious treatment of the queen mother showed the admiration of fans for their idols.

Prince Su's face became more serious. He felt more and more that the Queen Mother was unfathomable. The struggle for imperial power, the death of Wang Yuan, the treatment of the plague, the policy against sunset, and the system against soldiers all made him feel that he was getting further and further away from the throne. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cough.

Liang Meng noticed Prince Su's heavy expression and constant coughing. Since the death of Prince Yong, Prince Su's health has always been poor.

Although Prince Su was already in his thirties, he had no close relatives except for his two brothers, Prince Ying and Prince Yong. He had no children after he passed away. It must be that he had been injured and tortured by many years of war. Thinking of this, Liang Liang Meng said: "Prince Su has been fighting for me for many years, so he must take good care of himself."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking care of me. I will definitely take good care of myself." Prince Su said.

Liang Mengming wondered what was going on. I was so concerned about why you were unhappy instead of sincerely thanking you.

I am in very good health at this young age, but thinking about it makes me feel even more stuffy in my chest.

"Since you have no objections, the Ai family has another suggestion. The Ai family plans to go on patrol incognito." Liang Meng said.

"Going on patrol incognito?" The eldest prince was stunned.

Everyone was shocked.

"The purpose of the Ai family's incognito patrol this time is to find two kinds of food that can make our Dajin people no longer worry about starvation. One is called wheat and the other is rice." Liang Mengdao.

In this era, the practical food for people was called millet, which was the millet eaten in Liang Meng's era.Since millet appears in this era, Liang Meng, there must be wheat and rice in this era.

Of course, Liang Meng has more plans to implement and needs to go on patrol himself. Liang Meng wants to check the existence of mines in this era, especially coal; he also needs to look at the water conservancy facilities in this era; the big rivers in this era have been prepared as water channels for the future. , to prepare for the Grand Canal; to find more agricultural and industrial talents.

Daikin's weapons have entered the Iron Age. The weapons of the army will be firearms in the next development. Food and the army are the foundation of a country. Therefore, Liang Meng needs to find a large number of craftsmen and alchemists during this trip. Only Only in this way can Daikin’s national power be further enhanced.

The method of papermaking has been brewing in Liang Meng's mind for a long time, but only when the army and food are ready, papermaking can be born and attacks can be launched against those aristocratic families that have been entrenched for thousands of years.

In this era, there were only the landlord class and peasants, and the imperial examination talents that Liang Meng wanted at this time were those from the peasant class who came from the common people.However, the peasant class is now too weak to fight against the aristocratic families, so they can only split the aristocratic families into big aristocratic families and small aristocratic families, and then slowly figure it out.

We need to make more friends, and we have to make fewer enemies. In the end, we only need to eliminate these huge aristocratic families. For those small aristocratic families, we need to unite, and then implement the imperial examination and use the imperial examination to select talents, until we can achieve the industry that Liang dreamed of realizing. Society, and then transform these aristocratic families into the proletariat. In Liang Meng's era, Chairman Mao did this.

When there is sufficient moisture, the yield of wheat is much higher than that of millet. When there is insufficient moisture, the yield of wheat is similar to that of millet.

Therefore, Liang Meng needed to find wheat first. The climate of this era was dry in spring, and wheat sprouted in spring, so it needed water for irrigation. The establishment of canals and the Grand Canal was essential. Only with sufficient food would it be possible. There is a sufficient population, and only with the population can there be an army.

With the Zhengguo Canal and wheat, the Qin State had sufficient food, population, and army to finally dominate the world.

After the Qin Dynasty until the Tang Dynasty, millet was not replaced by wheat.

Wheat will become salinized during droughts, which will greatly reduce the fertility of the land and eventually make the land unable to be cultivated. One of the solutions is irrigation, and the other is fallow. Therefore, millet has not been replaced by wheat, but the resulting There is still not enough food to feed a larger population.

Finally, in the Song Dynasty, Champa rice appeared. It grew twice a year and eventually resulted in far more food and more people in the south than in the north. The canal could transfer food from the south to the north, so the canal was what Liang Meng had to implement.

"Wheat? Rice? It can increase grain. Is this true?".The emperor said excitedly.

"There is indeed a record. The Ai family can only go and look for it." Liang Meng said.

Liang Meng could only pretend that he saw it on the bamboo slips left by his ancestors.

"Queen mother, just go ahead with peace of mind." The emperor said.

"I wish the Queen Mother to find wheat and rice as soon as possible, so that I can be prosperous.".Prince Li said.

"I wish the Queen Mother a speedy triumph." All the princes saluted.

"Please get up, the Ai family will live up to their trust." Liang Meng said.

In ancient times, human beings were too weak, so smart humans thought of uniting to resist wild beasts. When a large number of people fight, they need someone to command, so the commander and the commanded came into being.

Farmers plant land to produce food, and the food produced needs to feed the farmers who cultivate the land and these commanders. Therefore, the number of commanders is limited by the amount of food produced by the farmers.

In Liang Mu's time, during the Zhou Dynasty, the commander (ruling class) used Shilu Shiqing because there was not so much food to feed the ruling class.

With the increase in food production, there was not enough food for all the people to learn knowledge. At this time, papermaking did not occur, so the imperial examination system was created.

In the Sui Dynasty, due to the emergence of papermaking technology and the increase in food production during the war, the imperial examination system was born, and the imperial examination system has been passed down ever since.

At this time, in the era that Liang Meng lives in, food cannot allow all people to learn knowledge. Therefore, if imperial examination selection is to be implemented, food is needed as the basis.

However, if officials are always selected by election, it will lead to a huge family, a tragedy that will make the family rich and invincible to the country, and ultimately lead to the same ending as the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty used the method of selection to select officials, which would lead to a large family. With officials, land could be enclosed, and with land enclosed, there could be food. With food, there could be a population and an army, and eventually the country could be overthrown.

Just like Liang Meng's country, this may be the reason why the college entrance examination was resumed in 1978. Only with enough food can all the people learn knowledge.

The reason why all the royal family members of the Sunset Dynasty must be eradicated is because the national treasury does not have food to support these people. Another important reason is that the remaining Sunset Party members cannot be given any thought of restoring the country.

"I have a question for you all," Prince Su said.

"Prince Su, please speak." The emperor said.

"The sunset of the unification of Dajin has basically stabilized. I wonder what the emperor's plans are for the children of my clan?" Prince Su said.

After everyone heard what Prince Su said, the hall fell into an extremely dull mood.

Liang Meng thought in her heart, my God, Prince Su actually raised this issue in front of the emperor.

This is Cut Fan Na.Since ancient times, the idea of ​​the unity of man and nature has been spread among the people. The emperor and the royal family members are all descendants of God. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties are very afraid of their relatives, because as long as someone regards them as the people of destiny, You can raise an army to rebel. The ideological reasons are very sufficient. Anyway, they are all the sons of destiny.

The Zhou Dynasty divided the princes into feudal states, and each prince had the power to manage the land, population, and food on its own. They only needed to supply the grain to the Zhou Dynasty. This also meant that when the Zhou Dynasty was weak, the princes could resist.

The Han Dynasty divided the princes into feudal states, summed up the experience of the Zhou Dynasty, and wanted to use military force to take back the rights of the princes, which led to the rebellion of the princes. In the end, the Han Dynasty came up with the idea of ​​​​turning favor orders, allowing the princes to divide their fiefdoms among their sons and grandsons, and finally solved the problem. this problem.

However, in the development of history, the system that was finally formed for the princes was to grant the princes fiefs, but the princes needed to stay in the capital and receive national salaries without having real tax and military power. In other words, the princes were given fiefs. The treasury goes to support the prince.

However, raising them from the treasury also caused a problem for the princes, that is, a prince could have many children, because in ancient times, the emphasis on having more children and more blessings would cause a huge burden on the treasury, and eventually a system was formed in which each generation lowered its title by one.

Liang Meng thought in his heart.

The emperor was too young and was stunned by such a difficult question from Prince Su.

"Actually, the Ai family has already thought about this issue. The princes and the emperor are of the same blood, and they must jointly guard the country of Dajin instead of destroying the country of Daijin. The Ai family then thought of conferring titles on all the princes and staying in the capital. If the state treasury supports them, their salary will be reduced by one level for each generation.

Of course, if you make a great contribution to our country, Daijin, your descendants can be supported by the national treasury for generations to come. "Liang Meng really couldn't see Prince Su bullying a child like this."

"Without land, no food, no population, and no army, what's the difference between being a useless person?" the eldest prince said.

"First Prince, don't be anxious, no, you princes can still serve as officials in the court. I wish you a great and prosperous country forever." Liang Meng said.

The eldest prince thought about it again and thought it was a good thing, so he calmed down.

Prince Su and Prince Li gradually began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

"I also think this is feasible." The emperor said.

In this way, in this hall, this thousands-year-old problem was solved in a few words.

Prince Su felt more and more that the Queen Mother was frightening.

"The queen will be canonized in a few days. I would like to ask the queen what she thinks of the three kings with different surnames." The emperor said.The thoughtful people were attracted by the emperor's words and watched how the Queen Mother would solve the problem.

"There are two ways to solve this matter, civil and military. Wen can ask them to hand over their military power at the banquet of the canonization order, and Wu can send troops to attack." Liang Meng said.

"Three kings with different surnames regard military power as the basis for their own livelihood. How can they hand it over obediently? I'm afraid that once they say that they will pretend to hand over military power, they will immediately rebel secretly. According to my opinion, this plan is not possible.

If we use force, we will definitely make the officials who surrendered to us at sunset panic. In my opinion, this matter needs to be dealt with slowly. "Prince Li said.

"What Prince Li said makes sense." Liang Meng said.

"I also have a plan to let three sons of kings with different surnames enter the capital as hostages. I think they will not act rashly." The eldest prince said.

"What you all said makes sense. This is the solution." The emperor said.

Everyone then decided on their countermeasures against the three kings with different surnames.

The emperor was deep in thought, and when no one noticed, he showed a stern smile: "Mother, you really impress me more and more. I really underestimated you before. I hope you like the gift that I gave you. .”

A few days later, there was a canonization banquet.

The Queen Mother, the Emperor is sitting on the main seat, and the royal family members, civil and military officials and their families are sitting on both sides.

"That's the Queen Mother, have you heard? There are rumors in the capital that she is crazy." said an official's wife.

"You're on the hook for talking about such gossip without even looking where you are." The official standing nearby immediately yelled and cursed in a low voice.

Liang Meng has noticed that there are many eyes looking at him.

"This is not like a look of awe or admiration, but rather a look of gossip. Don't I know what happened?" Liang Meng thought in his heart, so he called Hongyu over.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me about?" Hongyu asked.

"Go and see what they are talking about?" Liang Meng said.

"Yes, slave, go right away." Hongyu said.

"My dear friends, I, Dajin, have been protected by heaven to rule the world. Today I am here with you to participate in a grand event. I hope you can serve me Dajin with all your heart."

"I will definitely live up to my sacred mandate."

"Where are the kings of Zhenbei, Dongping and Pingnan?" the emperor asked.

"Xiao Gui, King of Zhenbei, is here to see Your Majesty." King Zhenbei said.

Xiao Gui, the king of Zhenbei, was already in his forties at this time. He was a general of the Sunset Dynasty and was stationed in Beiyuan City in the northwest of Dajin.

"Your Majesty, Prince Dongping, Sun Da, may come to see your majesty." King Dongping said.

Sun Dake, Prince of Dongping, was already in his thirties at this time. He was a general of the Sunset Dynasty and had been stationed in Anhai City in the southeast of Dajin for generations.

"Pingnan King Liu Lushan is here to see your Majesty," King Pingnan said.

Pingnan King Liu Lushan was already in his forties at this time. He was a general of the Sunset Dynasty and had been stationed in Nanguang City in the south of Dajin for generations.

"Princes, please get up quickly." The emperor said.

"The princes are not far away and have come thousands of miles away. I really feel guilty in my heart. I don't want you to have to suffer the hardships of traveling and traveling, so I built a palace for you in the capital." The emperor said.

"I am scared, but we are honored to be able to see the holy face. How can we feel tired?" the princes said.

The princes felt that the emperor's words were more than what they seemed.

Do you want our military power?

"Princes, please do not refuse. I have already ordered you to build a palace in the capital. Please do not refuse my kindness," the emperor said.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor just wants our military power, but why does he only let us stay in the capital?
"I have lived in my hometown all my life. I really have never thought of leaving my hometown and coming to live in the capital. I hope that your Majesty will allow me to stay in my hometown." The princes said.

"The newly built house cannot be unoccupied." The emperor said.

It turned out that they wanted me to hand over my son to Beijing as a pledge.

"I am willing to let my descendants come to the capital to practice." The princes said.

"So good, so good." The emperor smiled.

Liang Meng looked at the three princes with different surnames in front of him. They were all equally low-key, respectful and cautious, and there was nothing unusual about them.

"Is that the princess of the setting sun?"

"What kind of princess is the princess of the setting sun? Is she the princess of a subjugated country?"

"Look what you said."

The two started laughing.

"In order to make the people of Luo Luo Ri and my people of Da Jin become a family as soon as possible, I have decided that Princess Luo Luo Ri will marry His Highness Prince Jing." The emperor said.

Liang Meng looked in the direction of Princess Sunset.

"Isn't this the person I met when the city was destroyed that day? It turns out that he is the Princess of the Sunset. The boy next to him seems to be named Yuan Gao. I didn't expect that he turned out to be a eunuch." Liang Meng thought in her heart.

When the Emperor talked about herself, Princess Sunset stood up and walked towards the front of the palace.

Liang Meng stared at Yuan Gao who was watching Princess Sunset.

His sad look made Liang dream that the former senior executive used his body to block Jin Jun's knife.

When Yuan Gao noticed Liang Meng's gaze, he respectfully lowered his head and never raised it again.

Liang Meng looked at Princess Sunset who was walking up. Her calm look reminded him of Emperor Sunset.

At the same time, the eldest prince also slowly walked forward.

Princess Sunset saluted respectfully.

"Both of you, please rise. Queen Mother, I feel that the eldest brother and Princess Sunset are a perfect match," the emperor said.

"Is it such a good match? One is brutal and rude, and the other is as tender as water. How can they be a good match? It's Yuan Gao. Alas, what a pity." Liang Meng thought to himself.

"Aijia feels the same way."

Everyone started to exchange glasses of wine to congratulate the eldest prince and Princess Sunset.

"After all, she is a princess of a dynasty. The eldest prince already has many wives, and it is so sad for the princess to suffer such humiliation. Liang Meng, what are you thinking? It was not caused by yourself." Liang Meng was very sad that his decision turned out to be unexpected. will decide the fate of so many people.

"In order to make Daijin and Sunset become a family, I have decided that all the daughters of our Daijin officials who are of marriageable age will participate in the draft every year and I will appoint the marriage." The emperor announced.

The emperor recalled what the Empress Dowager said in the main hall: "Officials from Daijin and officials from Sunset are intermarrying with each other, but this intermarriage needs to be decided by your Majesty."

"The draft will marry all the women of the right age to the right men every year, and you can control the union of wealthy families."

Liang dreamed of the modern era in which he lived, where all business empires had joined forces.

At this moment, Hongyu walked up to Liang Meng, and Liang Meng saw a slightly angry look on Hongyu's face.

"Hongyu, what's going on? What makes you angry?" Liang Meng asked.

Hongyu quietly came to Liang Meng's ear and said: "My dear, I have inquired clearly. Recently, there are rumors in the capital that you are not clear with Prince Su."

When Hongyu saw Liang Meng, she said without replying: "Who should die? Spreading these rumors has ruined the reputation of the empress."

Liang Meng pondered in his heart, went through the people he met, and finally identified one person. Liang Meng glanced in the direction of the emperor.

"Recently, I have been too sharp and outstanding. I think the young emperor will be worried about my relatives interfering in politics and spreading unclear remarks about me and Prince Su. This kills two birds with one stone. It can prevent my relatives from interfering in politics and weaken Prince Su's trust. The power of the throne, your Majesty, has become more and more scheming recently." Liang Meng thought in his heart.

"Why use such despicable methods?" Liang Meng felt that this attack was too disgusting.

How is this different from the pornographic rumors in the modern era where Liang Meng lived?
"With the heart of a villain judging the heart of a gentleman, I, Liang Meng, will never be able to be the emperor. I am not worthy of it." Liang Meng said angrily.
