What is power?
Power is when you can dream a dream and realize it the next day. This is power.
Zhu Yijun is only ten years old, and he has no authority at all, but power is power. If he wants to practice martial arts, he has the hereditary martial arts of the Ming Dynasty and Tiqi training with the latest military training methods; if he wants to farm, Immediately, more than a hundred people vacated the garden in Jingshan for the emperor to cause trouble.
Zhu Yijun found that Xiaohuangmen was really hardworking at work. When he returned to the palace yesterday, the flowers, plants and trees had just been transplanted, and the land was plowed and fertilized. Today, even the insects were sorted out. Several directors from the Ministry of Industry were planning the Ming Dynasty. Baoqi Hall, said to be a pavilion, is just a five-room, nine-frame structure. Baoqi Hall is a small project, and the fire room covering an area of about half an acre is the key project.
The fire room was jointly built by the Military Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty to prevent the late spring cold. The entire fire room had water channels for heating.
The lighting solution is a solution covered by full glass, which is what Zhu Yijun thinks of as fully transparent glass, with a steel frame as the structure.
There are records of large-scale firing of transparent glass in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the colored glass used in the palace was colored glass. For many official factories serving the royal family, completely transparent glass was fired, but it was a waste.
Instead, these waste materials can be used in the fire chamber.
To keep warm in the cold spring, the glass is covered with thick grass thatch, which is an eye-opener for the little emperor Zhu Yijun. The construction period can be completed in only three days. A fire room covering an area of half an acre will be the first choice for the little emperor Zhu Yijun. A wonder to see.
The Ming Dynasty's fire room is far from such luxury. Only the emperor's fire room and nursery can be so luxurious, and they only have half an acre of land.
Xu Zhenming looked at the little emperor's bright big eyes and said: "The Analects of Confucius says: Don't eat from time to time, and the Book of Han also says: Things from time to time are harmful to people and should not be offered as offerings."
"The meaning of this sentence is that you cannot eat food that is not in season. Food that is not in this solar term requires the support of all people to obtain it. This is stripping the people of their power. You should not be so greedy for food and drink."
"During the Western Han Dynasty, the Taiguan Garden was built, where winter onions, leeks, and vegetables were planted. They were covered with verandahs and burned with fire day and night until the weather was warm. The greenhouses were used to grow out-of-season crops from time to time."
"In the Northern Wei Dynasty, instead of lighting fires in the house, tunnels were dug. Burning fires in the tunnels was also inconvenient because the fire was easily extinguished underground."
"In the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yuanshou, the Sima of Yizhou, built earthen chambers to grow seasonal vegetables as tribute. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wondered where fresh vegetables would come from in winter. Chen Yuanshou reported the construction of earthen chambers. Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong was furious and scolded Chen Yuanshou for doing all his people's efforts to invite favors. Mei Shang, Chen Yuanshou was quickly dismissed."
"By the time of Empress Wu Zetian, Empress Wu Zetian loved peonies. There were greenhouses all over Chang'an and Luoyang to cultivate flowers. They were abandoned during the Kaiyuan period. They were rebuilt during the Tianbao period to supply seasonal fruits and vegetables for the royal family to enjoy."
Xu Zhenming paused here. He didn't want to live up to Zhang Juzheng's recommendation, so he talked a little too much for a while. The emperor hadn't read history yet. Can he understand what he said clearly?
"Keep talking." Zhu Yijun listened with interest, digging the foundation of the fire room. The shovel in his hand was tailor-made for his figure. Zhu Yijun motioned to Xu Zhenming, who was digging the foundation next to him, to continue explaining.
Xu Zhenming continued: "By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this kind of greenhouse had become extremely common. In the middle of winter in the capital, there was a supply of sprouts and leeks. They were built in the cellars of luxurious households in the fire rooms. The leeks were relatively expensive, and the number of leeks was the same as usual. Ten times, the benefits are also several times greater.”
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he frowned and said, "Scholar Xu, I have heard over and over again that you are talking about the method of planting seeds to cover up the luxury of rich and wealthy families. How can ordinary people prevent and cure the late spring cold and freezing of seedlings?"
Xu Zhenming hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I saw farmers in Changping on the outskirts of Beijing. They used sorghum stalks to make wind tents to block the cold wind. After enclosing the vegetable fields, they spread them with horse manure and plant ash to keep warm and prevent and control the cold wind. Late spring cold damages the seedlings.”
Xu Zhenming explained a lot of tips on folk farming. Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to bring him a pen and memo, and wrote down all the tips Xu Zhenming said.
Zhu Yijun knew for the first time that there were so many doorways in this kind of place.
For example: The land is obviously extremely fertile, and the farmers are hard-working and fertilize a lot. The crops are growing well, but even though they look good, they cannot produce grain and the harvest is very poor because the farmers do not know how to cut off the floating roots and cut off the attached leaves. Only then can we harvest.
For example: when going down to a kiln to retrieve hidden seeds, you must not go down easily, otherwise you will suffocate and die. You must first open the cellar door, ventilate it, and put in a lighted candle until it is extinguished before you can enter.
"This kind of land needs to know the weather, soil properties, and suitable crops, try to make the most of the limited conditions, avoid unfavorable factors, and match the weather, earth veins, and physical properties, so that it can defeat the sky!" Xu Zhenming said excitedly! .
"Strong enough to defeat heaven?" Zhu Yijun stopped writing and looked at Xu Zhenming with twinkling eyes.
"Ma Yilong taught me how to farm. This was what Ma Yilong told me. He didn't mean to disobey the imperial court's orders or His Majesty's will. What he meant was..." Xu Zhenming said this with great enthusiasm. , I became a little anxious all of a sudden, a little speechless, and couldn't express myself correctly.
In the Ming Dynasty, there can only be one heaven, and that is the Son of Heaven.
Shengtian, are you preparing to rebel? This is indeed a bit taboo.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Strength is enough to defeat the sky. To defeat the sky, what wins is nature. It is the failure of God to be beautiful. It is the end of the earth's power. It is the high-spirited spirit of human beings to fight against natural disasters. This is what Xu Xueshi means. Bar."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xu Zhenming breathed a sigh of relief. Your Majesty explained it perfectly. The sky here means nature.
Xu Zhenming hurriedly said: "Ma Yilong, named Meng He, was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. In the 38th year of Jiajing, he returned to his hometown to run a school. He recruited homeless people to work hard and reclaimed wasteland. In the first year, half of the harvest from the fields belonged to Mr. Meng He. After that, all the acres of land were owned by the people, and half of the harvest was used to recruit homeless people to work hard in the coming year to reclaim the wasteland."
"Mr. Meng He compiled a book on agriculture. One volume contains only more than 6,000 words, but every word is exquisite."
Xu Zhenming, an agricultural bachelor, had just been recommended to the court, so he quickly gave his mentor a chance to advance. Zhu Yijun did not resent this recommendation. Ma Yilong really did things for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and recruiting him to the capital was also a good deed.
"Where is Mr. Meng He?" Zhu Yijun recorded Xu Zhenming's method of cultivating land. This way of clearing out the wasteland, only collecting half of it in the first year, and then all of it being owned by the tenants and servants, and then using this half to reclaim the land. This is true A good person is not a hypocritical person.
Xu Zhenming cultivated 39,000 acres of farmland in one year and provided livelihoods for 2,000 households and more than 10,000 people. He was indeed a capable and willing scholar.
This kind of scholar is a gentleman.
"Mr. Meng He died of illness at home the year before last." Xu Zhenming really didn't want to recommend his mentor. His mentor had been in Longqing for five years and passed away the year he became a Jinshi.
Xu Zhenming was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand that Ma Yilong's shouting was powerful enough to conquer heaven, and that he was an unfaithful, unfilial and unobedient minister, so it would be a pity to discard "Ma Yilong's Nong Shuo".
"How is Mr. Meng He's land reclamation going?" Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Zhenming and asked.
Xu Zhenming said helplessly: "Mr. Meng He is a Jinshi and a distinguished gentry. The local powerful and powerful people dare not offend. After Mr. Meng He passed away, the land reclamation matter was abandoned without anyone to take charge."
"How many acres are being offered?" Zhu Yijun asked again.
Xu Zhenming said with a painful look on his face this time: "There are more than 127,000 acres of cultivated land. The common people cannot keep it. All of it has been invaded and weeds have become barren for several months."
Zhu Yijun heard this, put away the paper and pen, and started to work. Unable to defend, occupied, and overgrown, these simple words expressed the bloody robbery very clearly.
There were no land deeds for these reclaimed fields. Those powerful and powerful people did not dare to offend Ma Yilong. After all, there were people in Ma Yilong's court who were also ranked as Jinshi.
However, the powerful and powerful people can collude with the local county hall, prepare the land deeds in advance, and wait until Ma Yilong dies before starting to occupy them. This process is definitely not peaceful.
Tenants, servants, hard laborers, and refugees, finally, under the protection of Ma Yilong, and under the leadership of the powerful leader, they were able to get their fields out. Ma Yilong returned all these acres to the refugees, and as a result, these The powerful and powerful hold a piece of paper and want to embezzle it?
However, the common people could not defend it and were eventually invaded. Then the result of these acres was weeds and barrenness. The cultivated fields were not permanent fields, but barren places. The output itself was not high. The selfish demands of the powerful and powerful people for grain rent. If the common people don't have enough to eat from farming, who would be willing to be a servant? That's how it ends.
Why Xu Zhenming carries a bamboo strip bookcase that is not insect-proof has a lot to do with the teacher Ma Yilong.
Xu Zhenming became a disciple of Ma Yilong and specialized in cultivating land. It would be strange for a powerful rightman to be willing to help Xu Zhenming.
"My people, my people, the fields they have come out of!" Zhu Yijun has been working. Although he is small, he is determined not to be lazy. He curses while putting down the shovel.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that Zhang Juzheng was a master who was bound to retaliate for his crimes. If Zhang Juzheng was a vengeful master, then Zhu Yijun would be as petty as a needle.
The powerful people in Liyang County, Suzhou Prefecture, did not know that they had been targeted by the little emperor.
Zhu Yijun gained a lot today. Before he returned to the Qianqing Palace to wash up, he said to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Daban, help me write it down, that is my field! If it is too much, it will be left uncultivated without planting? What a bunch of bullshit! "
Before Zhu Yijun entered the bathroom, he emphasized to Zhang Hong again: "My field!"
"Your Majesty came back from Jingshan yesterday with a beaming face. Where does this anger come from today?" When the Empress Dowager Li was waiting for the dishes to be passed on, she could see that the little emperor was unhappy. This was no longer unhappy, but angry. .
Zhu Yijun told the story of Ma Yilong from beginning to end, and then asked: "Does mother know the whole story of Xu Zhenming's impeachment?"
"Naturally, we have to check out the people around the emperor and talk about it after dinner." Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep."
