Chapter 677 Snow

"Huh!...It's really cold!" Yang Reformed.

It was snow outside. It snowed all night last night, covering the capital with a thick layer of winter clothing.

The weather was still gloomy, and it seemed that there hadn't been enough rain. The north wind would pour into his body from the collar and sleeves at any time, making Yang Reform yell out cold.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen silently handed over another cloak.

"No need, I'm not really cold, I just haven't gotten used to it, I'll be fine after two days of cold, look at my body, what's covered, no need..." Yang Reform pushed the cloak away and said If it's really cold, it's not necessarily true. It's more of a psychological feeling. Seeing so much snow fall, I naturally feel that winter is coming. When winter is here, I naturally feel that it will be cold, so I feel a little cold on my body. Actually, Yang Reform was well dressed, but after walking outside for a while, his body became very hot.

"...Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed, looking at the emperor who was about to be dressed into a zongzi, Wang Chengen also felt that maybe there should be no more clothes for the emperor.

Yang Reform took a stroll around the Qianqing Palace and then came back.

As soon as I entered the warm pavilion, I immediately felt the warmth rushing towards my face. I took off a coat again, and then I felt a little better.

After walking around for a while, the blood in his body was already active, his fingers were no longer cold, and his whole body was warm. Yang Reform picked up the case and the notebook he had written, and began to correct the notebook.

"Big companion, call Liu Zongzhou, governor of the Shuntian Mansion, to come to see me." Yang Reform flipped through the playbook, corrected some, thoughtful occasionally, and said.

"Your servant obeys the order." Wang Chengen waited on the side all the time, and when he heard the emperor's order, he immediately agreed.

Yang Reform had given his orders and continued to revise the playbooks. At the end of the year, they were all playbooks reporting their own situation for the year from various places. It didn’t need to spend too much time thinking about countermeasures, and more was just a matter of understanding.

……

Not long after, Liu Zongzhou had arrived.

"Your Majesty, Shuntian Mansion has been considerate to Liu Zong." Wang Chengen reported.

"Oh, let him come in." Yang Reform put down the playbook in his hand, and said, the playbooks these days are not very complicated, nor are they many, and they will be read soon.

"Chen Shuntian Mansion welcomes Liu Zongzhou to kowtow to His Majesty..." Liu Zongzhou came in and saluted.

"Exemption." Yang Reform said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Zongzhou thanked him.

After the etiquette, Yang Reform said: "I called Qing's family today because I wanted to chat with Qing's family... Liu Qing's family knows that it snowed last night." Then it disappeared.

Liu Zongzhou was a little puzzled, he was stunned, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Report back to Your Majesty, it snowed last night."

"It is said that the Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly, the roads are frozen to death, and it is the new year's end, and it is snowing. Are the people in the capital frozen or hungry? The Qing family should do more to understand it!" Yang said. Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, thanks to His Majesty, now that the people in the capital are well fed and warmly dressed, there should be no one who freezes to death." Liu Zongzhou replied after thinking for a while.

"The Qing family should pay more attention to this matter. If there is any situation, you can report to me." Yang Reform said.

"I obey the order!" Liu Zongzhou agreed, and it was also strange that the emperor asked him to come to tell him this matter?
"By the way, how busy is the Qing family with regard to reading and education?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is fine, but..." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"Oh, just what?" Yang Reformed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's just that even with the support of 200 million silver every year, it will not be easy for everyone in the world to read!" Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"It's natural. Two million yuan really can't support everyone in the world to study. My Ming Dynasty has 200 million people on the register. If one person wants to study every year, there are at least 6000 million people. How can 600 million silver support 200 million people to study? What's more, the actual population of my Ming Dynasty is at least over 600 million, and 1000% of the population is at least 200 million. The [-] million silver is even more unsupportable..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty is right." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"The Qing family would like to ask, it is impossible for everyone in the world to study. Is it a lie to say that everyone in the world should study?" Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare not." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"So, education is a long way to go. The Qing family still needs to work harder, and there must be no slack in the slightest..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty taught me the lesson," Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"...I look at Qing's memorial, it seems that everyone is skeptical about reading, and I am a little skeptical and confused about whether everyone should read. Am I right?" Yang Reform said, Yang Reform After reading Liu Zongzhou's memorabilia, I don't know what's wrong with this guy, it seems that his attitude is a bit repetitive.

"Your Majesty, I am indeed a little confused..." Liu Zhouzong said.

"You don't have to doubt the Qing family. Now that the court can't spend so much money to run a school, it doesn't mean that it won't be able to spend so much money to run a school in the future. Didn't the court not be able to spend 200 million to run a school before? Isn't it also spending 200 million now? Have you come to run the school? Isn’t this a great improvement? In time, the imperial court may not be able to spend 1000 million taels of silver to run the school, so the Qing family should not be so confused..." Yang Reform said.Regarding the controversy over reading, it still hasn't calmed down. Individuals from all sides are still expressing their views and insisting on their own views.Yang Reform also indulged in these debates. He never made a judgment on this matter. He just wanted to rely on this matter to tear Confucianism apart. Unexpectedly, this Liu Zongzhou himself became confused. , seems to be full of confusion, Yang Reform hurriedly called Liu Zongzhou to enlighten him, but this person is also a very important person and cannot be easily given up.

"Your Majesty is right..." Liu Zongzhou said.

"In everything, the Qing family has to look forward, not stand still and look backward, that's not acceptable, we must be full of hope for the future." Yang Reformed.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, thank you for your instruction." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"Does the Qing family know what Yan Shenggong is doing now?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong is also working on a new interpretation of Confucian characters. It seems to be mentioning a saying called 'people's livelihood'. He believes that the first need of life is the need of survival, and many contents can be derived from it. It is indeed in line with the saint. Taught..." Liu Zongzhou said.

"That's right, I just ordered the Qing family to pay more attention to whether there are frozen bones on the side of the road. That's what it means. The common people have the right to live. They shouldn't die by the side of the road. They shouldn't die of cold or starvation. Really?" Yang Reform said.Talking about this with Liu Zongzhou now is actually trying to push Kong Yinzhi. Now Yang Reform has been investing more energy, and has been planning and planning, which is to transform the spiritual world of Ming Dynasty people. It is impossible to see the outcome of a matter like other things all at once, and it even takes several years to plan, and some results will be produced in more than ten years, and it will take decades to say that there will be a certain effect. Yang Reform is also anxious about this matter, and he can't wait to It is a pity that this person is not an NPC, and it is impossible to say what he says. It is quite difficult to change a person's world view, and it is even more difficult to change a society's world view of life.Slow fermentation, unusually slow, Yang Reform still decided to give Kong Yinzhi a little more energy and push this matter a little bit.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that the common people do have the right to live, and people's livelihood should not be taken away casually..." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"The Qing family might as well think about this matter, there may be many unexpected benefits..." Yang Reform said.

"The minister leads the decree..." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

Facing the somewhat rigid Liu Zongzhou, Yang Reform was also a little helpless, hoping that there would be no demon moths.

……

After explaining to Liu Zongzhou, Yang Reform has almost dealt with today's affairs.

After staying in the warm pavilion for a long time, Yang Reform felt a little bored. When he came out of the warm pavilion, he took a breath. When he came out, he was blown by the cold wind, and he felt indescribably comfortable, although it was a bit cold.

After exhaling a few breaths of white air, Yang Reform felt that this snow-covered world is actually a pretty good season.

"Big companion, let's go out of the palace..." Yang Reform suddenly became interested.

"...obey the order." Wang Chengen quickly agreed.

……

Outside the palace, Yang Reform still looked at the city of Beijing through the curtain. Because of the snow last night, the people on the street were relatively deserted. There were not many people, but there were still many carriages.

After walking around the street for a few times, with Yang Reform's visual inspection, it seems that the preparations for the winter this year are really well done. He didn't see any dead people on the side of the road. these places.Yang Reform sighed again.

"Housekeeper!" Yang Reformed.

"My lord, the younger one is here." Wang Chengen agreed.

"It's inconvenient for me to go out of the city. You can send someone around the capital to see how the winter is going around the capital. Is everyone able to eat and dress warmly? Are there people freezing to death on the side of the road? A little? Especially those places where new immigrants come.” Yang Reform was still a little worried, so he told Wang Chengen.

"I understand, so I will order someone to do it." Wang Chengen agreed.

"Remember, don't say anything, and don't be discovered by others. It's best to find a new face." Yang Reform said again.

"I have written it down, young master, don't worry." Wang Chengen agreed.

The carriage was still clinking forward. When passing by some restaurants and teahouses, you could also hear the loud noises in the restaurants and teahouses. The outside world is relatively quiet, and the noise seems to be able to penetrate far. It seems that there and the outside are two It's a different world, but I can't hear what they are saying.

The carriage circled the street a few times.

"My lord, are you going to Liulizhai?" Wang Chengen asked.

"No, go to Hongxiu, I haven't been there for a long time." Yang Reform thought for a while, and said, today's quietness reminded Yang Reform of someone he hadn't seen for a long time, Hong Niangzi, maybe he should go and see She, shouldn't let her be too lonely.

"...Yes, my lord." Wang Chengen agreed with some surprise.

The carriage was still clinking forward.

Yang Reform was sitting in the car, staring at the outside of the car in a daze, his thoughts drifted to nowhere, the streets of Beijing were rare and quiet.

The person who greeted Yang Reform was indeed the same Hong Niangzi, almost unchanged, except for the resentment and anger in her eyes.

Yang Reform entered the house, and the red lady took Yang Reform's cloak.

"Young master is here..." The red lady said quietly.

"Hehe, yes! I've been quite busy recently, and I finally took some time today to accompany Hongxiu." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Really, young master, don't lie to Hongxiu." Hong Niangzi immediately put her resentment aside, and said happily.She knows what his young master does, and she knows even more about what is a major event. Even if no one mentions it to her, it will be published in the daily mansion newspaper. Everyone in the capital knows what major event happened in the court .Although Hong Niangzi had some resentment, she could understand it. Hearing that Yang Reform said that he had specially taken time to accompany her, that resentment disappeared immediately.

"Really, it's snowing here too, so you can enjoy the snow, eat some barbecue, and play with making a snowman or something!" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Then Hongxiu will go get ready now..." Hong Niangzi couldn't wait to get ready.

……

In the yard, because of the snowfall, a thick layer of snow has piled up. The red lady is making a snowman and having fun. In the corridor, a stove has almost been set up, and the fire is burning vigorously.On the side, there are venison, mutton, bamboo sticks, salt, pepper, pepper, oil and other condiments.

Yang Reform looked at the red lady having fun in the snow, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he forgot a lot of things a little bit.Holding a bamboo stick in his hand, he is skewering meat.Maybe the red lady is "locked" here by herself, a little lonely, even a little cruel, but she is not the only lonely person in this world. off" in this world?Why isn't he being "closed" in the Forbidden City by the identity of the emperor.Life, maybe it is like this, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly, and it is rare to have a moment of peace, but it is worth cherishing.

"Son..."

Yang Reform was swimming in the void world, and his attention was not here at all. Hearing the cry, a snowball almost flew towards him.

Yang Reform subconsciously turned his head.

"Snapped……"

The snowball scattered and hit Yang Reform's neck, and the cool snow water flowed down his neck. Yang Reform hurriedly shook the snow off.

Looking at the red lady who was having fun in the distance, she couldn't help laughing.

Yang Reform smiled, really shouldn't care too much, if you can have a moment of leisure, let's just relax for a moment, those boring and troublesome things seem to leave Yang Reform temporarily.

Pick up the meat strips and continue to skewer them. While skewering, laugh and watch the red lady play.

On the contrary, Wang Chengen looked a little "terrified", this is "beating" His Majesty!

"Son..."

The red lady threw another snowball over.

Yang Reform took precautions this time, the hand that was skewering the meat immediately blocked the snowball, grabbed a handful of snow in the snow, and threw it at the red lady.

The red lady was so agile that the snow couldn't even get close to her. Yang Reform threw several snowballs, but none of them hit.On the contrary, the red lady threw several snowballs, all of which hit Yang Reform.

Yang Reform played with Hong Niangzi for a while, and he already skewered a lot of skewers, including venison and mutton, and Yang Reform began to roast them on the stove.

Yang reformed the roast very attentively, turning over what should be turned immediately, oiling what should be oiled immediately, adding pepper to what should be peppered, and pepper to what should be put in pepper. After a short time, a batch of meat skewers will be roasted.

"Hongxiu, the meat is ready, let's eat!" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Here we come, my lord!" The red lady immediately left the snowman who was cutting and ran over.

"Come on, try it, my craftsmanship is not bad..." Yang Reformed, before Yang Reformed, in the 21st century, before Yang Reformed, he did not eat less, saw others grilling, and did it himself. In court, it is done more often, and the craftsmanship is more proficient.

"Well, the meat roasted by the young master is really delicious..." The red lady took a bite and praised immediately.

"Eat more if it tastes good. This scene, eating this barbecue is the most suitable occasion..." Yang Huaihe looked at the fragrant barbecue, and his index finger was already moving, as if he had returned to the barbecue stall in the 21st century. Immediately started to eat, the disorder of time and space made Yang Reform temporarily forget those tasteless and troubles.

After eating the meat, I ran to build the unfinished snowman again.

It was rare for Hong Niangzi to have someone to accompany her, so she threw snowballs at Yang Reform from time to time, and Yang Reform could only grab the snowballs in return.It was rare to meet such a happy day, and the two had a great time running away and chasing each other.

After playing wildly for a while, Yang Reform forgot that he was the emperor, and also forgot the heavy responsibility he shouldered, and concentrated on releasing his inner depression.

After playing wildly for a while, they were already covered in sweat. After taking a bath, the two of them were naturally lingering for a while.

After coming out of Hong Niangzi, it was getting late, and the carriage clanked towards the palace. Yang Reform sat in the carriage, still looking at the street scene on both sides of the street, enjoying the tranquility of Beijing.

"My lord, the inspectors have returned." Wang Chengen took an opportunity to report.

"Oh, are you back? How's the situation?" In the face of this year's heavy snowfall, Yang Reform still attaches great importance to it. This year, the capital has gathered tens of 10 people who came to Beijing to work, so it's better not to have any accidents, although Tian Hongyu had been instructed to handle things carefully, but Yang Reform was also afraid of making mistakes.

"My lord, everything is fine, much better than in previous years. I haven't seen any dead people in the capital, and I've seen people gathered outside the city. Although there are dead people, they didn't freeze to death on the side of the road, but died at home. Yes, it may be that people are old and cannot survive this winter..." Wang Chengen explained.

"Oh, is that so?" Yang Reform said flatly.

"Master Hui, yes, overall it's pretty good." Wang Chengen quickly replied again, with a slight flicker in his words.

Yang Reform remained silent. He did what he had to do and tried his best. The matter probably could only end here.Listening to Wang Chengen's tone, he is not so sure. Yang Reform knows that things are not so perfect, and he is afraid that some people will freeze to death. He has tried his best on this matter.

Yang Reform doesn't expect himself to be a saint. The emperor is also a human being, an ordinary natural person, not a superman who flies into the sky and escapes from the ground. His ability and energy are also limited. For some things, he can only do his best. After the snow falls, The Chinese New Year is coming soon, after the Chinese New Year, it will be three years of Chongzhen, next year, and next year, and next year, maybe the fate of those people can be completely changed.

With the sound of the jingling of the carriage, Yang Reform's thoughts drifted to nothingness again.
