Royal Road

Chapter 367 Enlightened (5)

After the fifth shift, the sun rose to the east, and the locked palace gate slowly opened. It’s another daily dynasty.

As always, the hundred officials lined up outside the palace gates, entering from the east and the west to the east and west. Drumming, long live, see the emperor.

When the emperor was ascended to the throne, hundreds of officials also sat in attendance. Living Lang Ganbao carefully gathered his robe and sat on the side of the hundred officials. Hold the living book in hand and prepare to pick up a pen to record.

Like other academicians of Chongwenguan, Gan Bao was also awarded official after the founding of the country. Entered the emperor’s history supervisor, served as a writer, compiling the history of the country. He reads many books, is proficient in history, and he just compiles history books to his liking, and his work can be considered impressive. However, two months ago, when the former resident Lang returned to his hometown, Guo Pu, a member of Zhongshushe, took the opportunity to recommend him to the emperor. Xu had heard of his talent, and the emperor ordered him to take over the post of living man.

Regarding the official position, the living man and the writing man seem to be different. However, the literary man was just the assistant official in the eunuch, while the living man was under the supervision of the secretary. This is a benefit that can’t be sought, how can Qianbao not cherish it? Therefore, these days, I have been conscientious and dare not neglect the slightest.

On the hanging pen paper, Qian Bao was concentrating, listening to the correct play in the palace.

Nowadays, the most important thing about the army’s westward march is the war in Yongzhou. The Secret Envoy of the Privy Council and the Minister of War Shangshu successively played out to report the situation. This battle is not like the previous conquest of Youzhou, which was fought extremely cautiously. Now that the partial division regained Feng Yijun, the chariot general Yi Yan personally led the army, garrisoned troops, and threatened Chang’an. It seems that there is a tendency to fight for aid.

Chang’an is a strong city no less than Luoyang, and siege is better than strong attack. Only in this way, the food wastage was quite large. However, Zhao Guo has had a bumper harvest for several years, and has not started a war for two years, and he is not short of food. And the pseudo-Hun Huns have been in civil strife for years, and the locust plagues have continued, and they have to guard against the king, how can there be excess food? In less than two months, it will inevitably be a mess.

The battle situation was clear, and it didn’t take too long to report. However, the book asked Zhang Bin to mention the rebellion that occurred in the Tuoba Department of Youzhou. Tuoba Yilu, the predecessor of the county, favored the younger son, causing the eldest son, Tuoba Sixxiu, to furious and conspiracy. Now he has killed his father and younger brother, claiming to be Da Shanyu. Tuoba Yulu asks Zhao Guo for help, wanting to send troops to rebel.

On the throne, Liang Feng frowned slightly: “Follow the crime, kill his father and kill his younger brother. These heinous people will be killed by themselves! Order the governor of Youzhou Xie Kun to help Tuoba Yu Lv to rebel.”

The predecessor of the county was appointed by the court. Now that he is killed, how can he give up? Tuoba Yulv is also regarded as an old acquaintance of Zhao Guo, and has assisted Zhao Jun in fending off enemies many times. These words are fair and upright in both emotion and reason. However, the courtiers who were familiar with the frontier affairs in Youzhou knew that Tuoba Yulv was not the first heir of the Tuoba Department. Before him, the more powerful was Tuoba Pugen, the son of the elder brother Tuoba Yilu. According to the Xianbei rites, as long as Tuoba Pugen wiped out Tuoba’s Sixth Xiu Xiu, he could become the next Shanyu.

Now Zhao Guo stepped in and assisted Tuoba Yulv to send troops to fight for rebellion. If things happen, Tuoba Yulu is likely to become the new Xianbei Shanyu. And if he takes the throne, how can Tuoba Pugen be willing? Both of them are capable and ambitious people, no matter who succeeds to the Tuoba Ministry, they may promote its growth. But the fight between the two tigers will only cause the Tuoba Department to recur in civil strife.

However, the sinister plan in the court fell under Gan Bao’s writing, only “Jiayin in the fall of five years and August, Tuoba and six repairs conspired to kill the predecessor of the county. The governor of Youzhou Xie Kun asked for it.” So simple. One sentence.

After dealing with the military and administration, Guo Xing, the official book of the household ministry, went out and said: “His Majesty Guo Xingqi, the book “The Essential Techniques of Farming Mulberry”, has been collated by the Department of Agriculture and Political Affairs, and has been drafted.

Liang Feng immediately came to the spirit: “Hurry up!”

The servant immediately took two bound books and placed them on the royal case respectfully. Liang Feng opened the catalogue casually, read it for a moment, and nodded his head greatly: “Only this one book can keep the people in good health! The Department of Rewarding Agriculture will edit and repair the gold fifty, and the silk two hundred. It is ordered to be printed by the Imperial Book Bureau and transmitted to Zhuzhou County! ”

This reward is really not thin, not to mention it can be published all over the world. Guo Xing knelt down and thanked him immediately.

However, on the side, an official from Yushitai came out and said: “Your Majesty! If the agricultural book is leaked and it is obtained by the rebellious party, wouldn’t it be troublesome? The minister thought that when the southern land was unified, he would publish it again!”

Although this remark is reckless, it also has a somewhat desirable meaning. If the remnants of the previous dynasties in the south were given the agricultural certificate and increased the yield of the fields, wouldn’t it cause trouble? It is better to put the book away first and wait until the world is unified before it is published and printed.

These words seemed that Guo Xing had the intention of being an enemy. Guo Shangshu quickly defended himself: “Your Majesty, there is a big difference in the climate between the North and the South. There are not many methods for farming mulberry in the South in the “Nongshu”…”

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Liang Feng said: “It’s okay. The world is my people. This act of benefiting the people should be a broadcast. If there are people in the South who are willing to use good law, I am afraid that he will raise more people. What’s more, there may be no one in Southland with such a mind. Self-regulation for profit is the harm to the country.”

This made it so quiet in the hall up and down. Yes, if it can really double the output, how can those aristocratic families let the agricultural books leak out? I am afraid that each will have to be pressed at the bottom of the box, just for the harvest of my own farm. But if you want to promote good law, you must have the Department of Agriculture Administration and the agricultural officials, who are in charge of each layer to let the ignorant people know how to farm. Except for Zhao Guo, who would do such thankless drudgery for the other companies? The wealthy families in the south who dominate the state and government are afraid that they will want the farmers to be barren and hungry.

And the act of making the world fatter will surely cause further turmoil. If Nandi really got the agricultural book, maybe the defeat is in sight.

After hearing this, the Yushi showed embarrassment on his face, and fell to his knees: “Your Majesty benevolence. It is a short-sighted minister, please punish your majesty.”

Liang Feng said warmly: “Plain yourself. This farming book is only the first version. In the future, the cultivation methods of Chuanshu, Jingchu, Jianghuai, and Jiaoguang will be added. In the Han Dynasty, there are two stones for all the fields. Today there are only two stones. One stone. This is the fault of the court and the shame of a hundred officials. Governing the country is not harsh on morality. If there are no three emperors to make fire, fish and hunt, and plant grains, and there are no five emperors to calm the chaos, control the waters, and Zen, how can there be three generations of governance? Compared to Yao and Shun, he also has a heart to benefit all the people. From now on, regardless of the six books, all the laws that benefit the people can be spread to the world!”

This remark drew all the officials leaned over and praised. Gan Bao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly remembered, “The Agricultural Policy Secretary wrote “The Essential Techniques of Farming Mulberry”, which was presented to the imperial review. Shangyue said: “The country is governed by virtue or not harsh. Any law that benefits the people can be passed on to the world.” Mingzhou The county journal.”

However, in the face of this praise, Liang Feng looked indifferent. After five years of ruling the country, he has long understood that in an age when education has not yet been popularized, restraining a family is no different than seeking fish. Among the regular subjects, more than half of the descendants of the aristocratic family are taken every year. As long as they are willing, they have everything they need and their advantages. And even if they are appointed to the poor, these dignitaries who have not yet “satisfied” will try their best to accumulate wealth, annex land, and expand their power. Sooner or later, when the contradiction intensifies to the peak, those mud-legged ants, who are regarded as ants, will once again raise their swordsmen and raise the banner of an “uprising” that redistributes interests.

No one can cut off the greed in people’s hearts. But Liang Feng knows one thing. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the productivity determines the relations of production. If you want to delay the arrival of this change as much as possible, the easiest way is to allow productivity to continue to rise, and to reverse the transformation of production relations.

Basic science is the key to everything. Prepare agricultural books to encourage agricultural development. Push Chen Baigong and broaden the ideas of craftsmen. For those who study mathematics, chemistry, geography, machinery, and even basic physics, a broader road. Use “the emperor’s favor” to cut a narrow gap on the high wall. Smart people may be aware of it, but these scientific advances are equally important to the rich and powerful with a lot of land. Who would have trouble with money?

Coincidentally, at the turn of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Confucianism was the most declining era in the past five hundred years. When Huang Lao re-enters the upper-level field of vision, can he also bring all the scholars back to life?

In terms of governing the country, Liang Feng does not intend to replace Confucianism with science. However, these technological developments will inevitably become a powerful supplement to state governance. When we have a new understanding of the volume of the earth, and know that there is an infinite territory beyond China. Will the dead end of the three-hundred-year cycle also change?

He doesn’t know if this is completely correct, but in his lifetime, these will inevitably promote social progress and make the lower class people live more comfortably and with more dignity.

For him, these are far better than the name of a sage emperor through the ages.

After determining the policy of publishing agricultural books and decentralizing prefectures and counties, Liang Feng dealt with several government affairs and announced his resignation. Gan Bao quickly cleaned up his pen and ink, got up and followed Yujia. After only two months as a living man, he knew that he would be diligent in politics today. After the Chang Dynasty, they usually return to the Suigong Hall to criticize the memorials. Sometimes he would recruit the Taiwan Pavilion and the important ministers to play the right. A living man like him cannot speak at will. The emperor is not like a man who wrote about the previous dynasty, and consulted him on state affairs.

Sitting quietly in the corner, Qian Baoke did his duty, recording the life of the saint that day. When the emperor had a meal, he was also given a meal under the porch. Sometimes Qian Bao can’t tell, does the emperor value daily life, or don’t take it as a matter of course?

Use daily notes to restrain the emperor’s words and deeds, and go together with ancient rituals. Your Majesty went one step further and set up a living man. The notes on daily life should also be handed over to the historian, and a transcript should be written for future generations to read. This undoubtedly shows that the emperor attaches great importance to historians. However, the weird thing is that the emperor will not be restrained in every possible way just because the living man is around. Occasionally, there is a mistake, and he will not call the living man to delete the note. Just so naturally, let him note the book.

Perhaps this is the bearing of a generation of sages. What happened today really made Qian Bao sigh with emotion. After dinner, he sat back where he was. At this moment, an urgent letter was sent to the palace.

That is the battle report from Yongzhou! Even Qianbao couldn’t help but feel refreshed. Is there another victory?

However, he did not expect that the emperor opened the letter for a moment, and then laughed: “So bold and reckless, it will hold you back.”

Amidst the laughter, there was blame and helplessness. More, it is casual intimacy. When Qian Bao’s finger trembles, an ink spot is smudged on the paper. He hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be writing. My heart was overwhelming, as if I had heard something that shouldn’t be heard.

But the emperor didn’t care about him, and he quickly approved the military report. The clerk was called again to discuss the military situation.

A few days later, the real victory came. General Yi personally used the bait, leading five thousand soldiers to lure 30,000 horses out of the Xiongnu, and encircled them. How can this be described as “daring and reckless”? Gan Bao couldn’t help but smile, it seems that the rumor in the palace does not seem to be fake. When General Yi returns to the court, how should he remember his personal notes?
