Xu Mochen's trip to Danzhou in the south lasted for more than half a year. When he returned to the capital, autumn had already entered in the north.
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but miss the days when there were airplanes.
If there is a plane, it only takes a few hours to go to Danzhou in the south. Autumn and winter are here, and you can go on vacation.
Of course, as a wise king, he could only think about such extravagant and decadent things.
The first thing I did when I came back was to have a court meeting.
Compared with previous court meetings, the atmosphere this time was obviously a bit solemn.
The courtiers all had gloomy faces, and no one whispered to each other. They entered the hall and found their seats and sat down.
His eyes fell on the back of the palace until the voice of a chamberlain sounded.
"Welcome Your Majesty!" Everyone acted in unison.
Xu Mochen also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
No wonder, this time he went out and killed another department.
"Sit down," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "I have learned a lot from my trip to Beijing this time, so I am eager to come back and share it with all the ministers.
It has only been a few years since the unification of the Qianlong dynasty. To be honest, the foundation of the founding of the country is still shallow.
Therefore, I have been feeling very emotional during this journey. In fact, the lives of the common people are not as good as what is written in the memorials of ministers and workers..."
Come on, come on, this is finding fault as soon as you open your mouth.
The courtiers all clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
Only An Zerui, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out: "Your Majesty cares about the people, which is a blessing for me.
As His Majesty said, although Daqian has been unified for several years, many places, especially farming, are basically still at a state of stagnation.
Therefore, Weichen implores Your Majesty to promote the achievements in Danzhou in the south as soon as possible. "
"Ai Qing's words indicate that you have followed me carefully." This person is one of his own. Although he is a cultivator of immortals, Xu Mochen liked it and praised him casually. "I immediately issued an order to urge the governors of various states to Strengthen the development of wasteland in the state, build water conservancy channels, and prepare for the promotion of hybrid rice."
Everyone praised again, no one objected to this will.
"The research and development of hybrid rice is really a difficult process," Xu Mochen said with a tragic face, "I looked at the geography and found that Danzhou in the south has a climate, water and soil that is very suitable for growing rice.
But when I actually looked at it, I found that the yield of the rice fields was pitifully low. After a year of farming, it would be difficult to feed myself even if we didn't turn it over to the state.
If things go on like this for a long time, the country will no longer be a country.
Fortunately, this time there were officials from the research institute accompanying us to provide suggestions and solve the problem of hybrid rice.
According to preliminary estimates, the output of one mu of paddy field will increase by 20 to 30%.
Don’t underestimate the two to three percent. One acre of land is so much. If you add up all the fields in the world, it’s very impressive.
I will never be stingy with those who have merit. Come on, I will announce the decree. "
Tang Derun began to read out the imperial edict.
The content is very simple, and all the people from the institute, headed by Zhao Lingbo, are commended.
The courtiers were all filled with jealousy.
Who doesn't know that the princess is your bed partner, and who doesn't know that the institute is your die-hard fan.
Praising them for their achievements means that they, the courtiers, are incompetent.
Naked irony.
Zhao Lingbo and others went to court to accept the reward.
Many sharp-eyed ministers recognized it. Isn't it the eight-treasure glazed mirror in Zhou Chengyuan's home?
And that one is Shen Changfeng’s consecrated Jade Buddha.
Talk about Shuyi’s thousand-year-old sandalwood bead necklace.
This damn Emperor Gou gave the things he got from ransacking his house and gave them to his own people.
I can't bear it anymore, I must try every means to stab him to death!
The ceremony over there was also completed, the actors all came off the stage, and even Anzheri received a reward.
Xu Mochen was very satisfied: "Of course, there are also a lot of national bugs exposed in it."
his
His eyes swept over everyone: "For example, Luo Xuanzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, as an important minister in the court, actually colluded with the local bullies, imposed extortionate taxes, and made the people of Danzhou in the south miserable.
Now, this person has pleaded guilty and will be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial from now on.
After the review, it will be published in the form of a newspaper, so that officials all over the world can see it and know how to write the word "reverence". "
Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Luo Xuanzhi, this good-for-nothing, will die if he dies, and he will also bring humiliation to them.
And what is the Tribunal Tribunal? People are so dead that there is no trace of them. The trial is nothing.
If you continue to write and publish it in the Di newspaper, it is equivalent to naming and criticizing in newspapers across the country.
His face was all gone.
After Xu Mochen made the announcement, he looked at the Prime Minister: "I don't know what the Prime Minister has to say about this."
"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister came out, "The Ministry of Household Affairs is the granary of the world. As a minister, you actually did such a thing. When the old minister heard the news, he was also shocked and angry.
Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to severely punish Luo Xuanzhi and punish the three tribes to serve as a warning to others. "
Just kill them. The three clansmen are killing mortals, he doesn't care.
Xu Mochen naturally understood, and he nodded: "The Prime Minister is indeed a model for all officials, and he really cares about the country and the people.
However, during the Unification War, Luo Xuanzhi also had merit as the minister of military supplies.
The Minister of Punishment may have regulations to compensate for the merits of the crime. "
The Minister of Punishment cursed in his heart, but he still went out and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the law of Daqian."
"Let's use it on Luo Xuanzhi's family," Xu Mochen sighed, "After all, he is also a hero from Conglong. Everyone knows that I have always been kind-hearted. If I can let it go, I'd better let it go."
Just kidding, it would be difficult for him to kill innocent humans.
The Prime Minister bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. My veterans congratulate Your Majesty. You will become a wise king through the ages."
The matter was happily decided.
However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be avoided. Xu Mochen still has to ransack his home.
With the shock of getting straight to the point, the courtiers, including the prime minister, felt a little emboldened.
But things still had to go on, he secretly curled his fingers.
The Minister of Rites understood this and went out to report: "Your Majesty!
It has been more than a year since your majesty accepted the concubine into the palace. All the ministers are full of hope that your majesty will have a son soon and continue my great work.
This is the foundation of the country, please pay attention to it, Your Majesty. "
Xu Mochen kept smiling, it was good, and he started to build his harem again.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you." The Minister of Rites also came out, "Your Majesty is now in his prime, and these three palaces and six courtyards are the standard equipment of all the wise kings in the past.
Recently, His Majesty has not urged the Ministry of Rites to hurry up on the matter of choosing a concubine. This is out of His Majesty's love for the people.
However, the descendants of the emperor represent the future of Daqian. We hereby implore your majesty to once again include the matter of taking concubines on the agenda. "
Xu Mochen smiled: "It seems that the two adults from the Ministry of Rites came well prepared."
"It is the duty of ministers to be loyal to the emperor and share his worries," said the Minister of Rites with a cautious expression. "After detailed inspections by ministers and other ministers, we all agreed that the daughter of Lord Anze Ruian, the Minister of Hubu, has a beautiful country, a dignified conduct, and With both ability and political integrity, she is the best candidate to be a concubine."
He was talking about Gu Jinge.
You see, immortal cultivators are not useless. They can play a small role at critical moments.
Xu Mochen's expression remained unchanged: "An Aiqing, do you have anything to say."
"Your Majesty," An Zerui was also very satisfied with this arrangement. Unlike Shen Changfeng, he is now a member of the emperor's faction and will be the abbot of the country in the future. "I am recommended by all the ministers. I am ashamed to accept it.
The little girl's appearance and quality are average. She is lucky to be able to enter the palace and serve His Majesty. "
Xu Mochen was noncommittal: "You all know that I know very well that I don't like to impose things on others, such as the entry of a concubine into the palace. Lord An's beloved daughter cannot enter unless she is willing."
Anzerui reported: "Your Majesty, if you can win your Majesty's favor, how can I, my little girl?"
If you have the reason to resist the decree, please Your Majesty to choose a good day early so that the humble minister can be sent to the palace. "
"Yes, Your Majesty! To be honest, your Majesty's harem is too spacious."
"Yes, although the ministers and others know that your majesty is not good at beauty, the continuation of his heirs is the foundation of the country. Please adopt your words of loyalty."
"Master An's daughter is famous for her talents and is the best candidate to enter the palace."
"If a dragon is born as soon as possible, I can die and rest in peace."
"Your Majesty, everything we say comes from the bottom of our hearts."
Xu Mochen was also moved, and he nodded: "It doesn't matter, I know that all the people in the court are good ministers.
In this case, I will follow the proposal of the Ministry of Rites and issue an order to allow An family to enter the palace as soon as possible. "
Everyone was very happy and cheered together: "Your Majesty is wise!"
There is another immortal cultivator concubine in the harem, let’s see what your emperor does.
We don’t believe it, your harem can still be as stable as an iron barrel.
