After Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he still kept half an eye on the court, reporting to him some major actions in the court from time to time.
Lian'er assists Wang Wan in managing the affairs of the harem.
This trip, in addition to sightseeing, also officially handed over the power to the two of them!
From now on, Ying Zheng will no longer interfere with government affairs, and Lian'er will no longer care about the harem affairs!
No matter whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, leave them to a few young people!
"By the way, the people are about to start spring plowing. You have to think of a way to encourage them! Food is the most important thing for the people! No matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot be separated from farming. You must not let the people give up farming and go into business. !”
Ying Zheng was somewhat worried about this matter.
With the rapid development of industry and commerce, there are more and more factories of all kinds.
With more varieties of things produced, there are more businessmen from all walks of life.
It is indeed a great help to people's lives, but we are afraid that everyone will leave the land in their hands unplanted, resulting in a significant drop in food production.
Even though every household now has a surplus of grain, the imperial court also has a lot of it.
Once the people give up farming, the food will not be enough to feed the entire Qin people for a year!
"Father, don't worry! Don't look at the fact that more and more people are investing in industry and commerce. That's because various machines have replaced labor and liberated people's hands! In the future, I will study more machines to help farming. While ensuring that the amount of cultivated land remains unchanged, the people will be freed to invest in the development of Great Qin!"
Dad didn't need to say this, he knew it clearly.
No matter when or where, the land must not be given up!
"As long as you know what's going on, kid!"
After explaining, Ying Zheng nodded with confidence.
"By the way, the marriages of all the princesses are about to be arranged! I have been observing and selecting during this period, but I still haven't found the right one! I'll leave this matter to you. Please help me take a look. There are some who are outstanding in appearance. , If you are of good character, please ask the princesses for their wishes!"
Lian'er also thought of a major event, which was also her biggest headache.
Before, when the princesses were still young, they were not in a hurry.
Now that I am old, I find that among the sons of the ministers of the court, there are not many talented ones, so I am delayed!
"Yes! Queen Mother!"
Wang Wan did not shirk and responded.
There is no way, after the mother leaves, she becomes the master of the harem. If she doesn't handle this matter, who will?
We can't let the princesses choose their husbands, right?
"Okay, let's eat quickly!"
After talking for a long time, no one moved their chopsticks, so Lian'er quickly gathered up.
…
Three days later, Ying Zheng and Lian Er appeared at the train station.
This time we were traveling incognito, so we didn’t bring too many people with us. Apart from a few attendants to take care of daily life, there were just a few elites selected by Heibingtai, and there was nothing else.
All dressed in casual clothes, boarded the train.
Ying Feiyu came with all the ministers and princes to see him off.
"Woooo..."
The train started moving slowly, and Lian'er kept waving!
After the train went farther and farther, Ying Feiyu returned with the ministers!
"Zhang Shangshu, please go back and make preparations. I want to go to the fields for spring plowing myself!"
On the way back, Ying Feiyu made a special statement.
"Your Majesty wants to personally go to the fields for spring plowing?"
Zhang Han repeated it, thinking he had heard it wrong.
In order to encourage spring plowing, the Supreme Emperor had led hundreds of officials to plow the land in the past, but every time His Majesty went to a place, he would find a big tree to enjoy the shade and never actually plowed the land.
Now you actually have to do spring plowing yourself?
"That's right! Is there any problem...?"
Ying Feiyu nodded with a joking smile on his face, "Did Zhang Shangshu forget that you and I once competed in pulling a plow when we were in Yunyang?"
"Um...Your Majesty is born with supernatural powers, which is beyond the reach of this veteran!"
When this matter was mentioned, Zhang Han also thought of the incident in Yunyang and looked embarrassed.
There, they discovered Quyuanli!
It was also there that they made a bet with His Majesty for the first time and lost ten gold!
The other ministers looked at his embarrassed expression and immediately aroused curiosity.
"What's going on? What's the comparison with pulling a plow?"
"I don't know! I haven't heard of it at all!"
"Zhang Shangshu and Your Majesty are competing against each other, how can you not lose?"
"His Majesty was only five years old when he was in Yunyang. Could it be that Zhang Shangshu thought that His Majesty was young, so he competed with His Majesty?"
"Haha! The result must have been an instant kill by His Majesty!"
"That's for sure. Just look at Zhang Shangshu's embarrassed look...!"
Although the minister behind him didn't know what happened, he could guess it through a simple conversation between the two, and he whispered quietly behind him.
…
After everything was prepared, Ying Feiyu specially took a day to lead all officials to farm outside the city.
When the newspaper reporter heard about it, he immediately sent someone to follow him.
Your Majesty personally goes to farm. This is a big event. It must be recorded in detail and published on tomorrow's headlines!
"Where's the tractor?"
However, after the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty arrived at their destination, Ying Feiyu glanced around and saw that there was nothing else except a small pile of seeds, an ox, and a plow.
He turned to ask Zhang Han.
"Huh? Tractor?"
Zhang Han was also confused.
Didn’t you say you have to plow the land yourself? He also mentioned the incident in Yunyang. Wasn't it possible to use a Quyuan plow?
"Lao Zhang, you're afraid you didn't do it on purpose? Even the Emperor drove a tractor to plow the fields last year. Are you preparing this for His Majesty this year?"
"Haha! It must be revenge!"
"Lao Zhang, you are so courageous, you actually dare to take revenge on His Majesty, haha...!"
Seeing this situation, Wang Ben and others were extremely happy.
Since the popularity of tractors, cooperatives have been established. During spring plowing, people hire tractors from the cooperatives to farm.
Only a small number of people still use cattle!
Now that even the common people don't use it, Zhang Han actually lets His Majesty use it?
"No, no, no! Your Majesty has misunderstood! I... I thought that when I mentioned the Yunyang matter yesterday, I wanted to... alas... Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will do it now!"
Realizing that he would be mistaken, he waved his hands and quickly ordered someone to prepare the tractor.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing his deflated expression, the veterans burst out laughing.
Other ministers also snickered!
"There are too few of these. Bring us three more sacks!"
However, upon hearing Ying Feiyu's next words, the smile on Baiguan's face instantly froze.
Good guy! Three more sacks?
Is this going to tire them out?
In previous years, following the Supreme Emperor in spring plowing was nothing more than a formality, just to show off to the people!
Just plow a few circles and sow some seeds and forget it!
Do you think your majesty is going to take it seriously this year?
You have been pampered all year round. If you really planted all three sacks of seeds, wouldn’t the soles of your feet be covered in blisters?
