Chapter 28 Power is enough to defeat the sky
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. He has no power and 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. ; He wanted to farm, and immediately more than a hundred people vacated the hundreds of gardens in Jingshan for the emperor to do whatever he wanted.
Zhu Yijun found that Xiao Huangmen was really hardworking at work. When he returned to the palace yesterday, flowers, plants and trees had just been transplanted, and the land was plowed and fertilized. Today, even the insects were sorted out. Several people from the Ministry of Industry The principal is planning the Baoqi Hall of the Ming Dynasty. It is said to be a pavilion, but it has a layout of five rooms and nine shelves. Baoqi Hall is a small project, and the fire chamber covering an area of about half an acre is the key project.
The fire room was jointly built by the War Bureau and the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty to prevent the late spring cold. The entire fire room has water channels for heating.
Lighting 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.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there are records of large-scale firing of transparent glass, 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.
These waste materials can be used in this fire chamber.
Insulation in the late spring cold is to cover the glass with thick grass thatch, which is an eye-opener for the little emperor Zhu Yijun. The construction period only takes three days to complete. A fire room covering an area of half an acre will be Zhu Yijun, the little emperor, was the first to see this spectacle.
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 eyes and said: "The Analects of Confucius says: Don't eat from time to time. 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 and should not be so greedy."
"During the Western Han Dynasty, the Taiguan Garden was built, where winter onions, leeks, and vegetables were planted. They were covered with verandahs, and fires were burned 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, people no longer lit fires in the house, but dug tunnels. Burning fires in the tunnels was also inconvenient. The fire was easily extinguished underground."
"In the Tang Dynasty, Sima Yizhou Chen Yuanshou built an earthen chamber to grow seasonal vegetables as tribute from time to time. Tang Taizong wondered where fresh vegetables would come from in winter. Chen Yuanshou reported the construction of the earthen chamber. Unexpectedly, Tang Taizong was furious and accused Chen Yuanshou of doing all his people's efforts to invite favors. Chen Yuanshou was soon dismissed. ”
“By the time of Empress Wu Zetian, Empress Wu Zetian was very fond of peonies. Greenhouses were built all over Luoyang, Chang’an, to cultivate flowers. They were abandoned during the Kaiyuan period, and were rebuilt during the Tianbao period to supply seasonal fruits and vegetables for the royal family.”
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 hasn’t read history yet. Can he understand what he said clearly?
"You continue talking." Zhu Yijun listened with interest and dug 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. explain.
Xu Zhenming continued: "By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this kind of greenhouse was already extremely common. In the middle of winter in the capital, there was a supply of sprouts and leeks. They were built by luxurious households in cellars with heated kangs, and leeks were more expensive. , it is dozens of times more powerful than normal leeks, and its benefits are also several times greater.”
After Zhu Yijun listened, he frowned and said: "Xu Xu, I have heard over and over again that you are talking about the method of planting seeds to cover up the luxury of 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 encircling the vegetable fields, they covered them with horse manure and plant ash. Come to keep warm and prevent late-spring cold damage to seedlings.”
Xu Zhenming explained a lot of tips for folk farming. Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to bring a pen and memo and recorded all the tips Xu Zhenming said. Come down.
For the first time, Zhu Yijun knew 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 don’t know how to cut off the floating roots. , cut off its attached leaves before harvesting.
For example: if you go down to the kiln well to collect seeds, you must not go down easily, otherwise you will suffocate and die. You must first open the cellar door, ventilate it, and put it in with a ignited candle. You can only go in without extinguishing it.
“This kind of land must know the weather, soil properties, and suitable crops, make full use 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 spoke with great enthusiasm, but suddenly became a little anxious, a little speechless, and unable to express what he meant 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 said with a smile: "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. "That's what Xu Xueshi means." "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, nicknamed Menghe, was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. In the 38th year of Jiajing, he returned to his hometown to run a school, recruited homeless people to work hard, and reclaimed wasteland. Half of the harvest in the first year belongs to Mr. Meng He. After that, all the acres belong to the common people, and this half of the harvest is used to recruit homeless people to work hard in the next year. "
"Mr. Meng He compiles agricultural books. , there are only more than 6,000 words in one volume, but every word is exquisite."
Xu Zhenming, a bachelor of agriculture, had just been recommended to the court, so he quickly gave his mentor a chance to make progress. Zhu Yijun did not resent this recommendation. , Ma Yilong really worked for the people of Ming Dynasty, and recruiting him into the capital was also a good deed.
"Where is Mr. Meng He?" Zhu Yijun recorded Xu Zhenming's method of cultivating land. In this way, only half of the wasteland was harvested in the first year, and then it was all owned by the tenants and servants, and then the half was used to farm the land. Qianhuang, this is a truly good person, not a fake moralist.
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 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 expression on his face this time: "There are more than 127,000 acres of cultivated land. The common people cannot keep it. They have been occupied and the weeds have been barren for several months."
Zhu Yijun After hearing this, I put away the paper and pen and started to work. Unable to defend, invaded, and overgrown, these simple words expressed the bloody robbery very clearly.
There are 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 early, and wait until Ma Yilong dies before starting to occupy them. This process is definitely not peaceful.
The tenants, servants, hard laborers, and refugees, finally, under the protection of Ma Yilong, and the leadership of the powerful leader, they were able to reclaim their fields. Ma Yilong took all these acres. Returned as a refugee, but these powerful and powerful people wanted to occupy it with a piece of paper?
But the common people could not defend it and were eventually invaded. Then the end result of these acres was weeds and barrenness. The cultivated fields were not permanent fields. They were all barren places and the output itself was not high. The powerful and powerful people The grain rent is privately sought, and the common people who farm the land cannot have enough to eat, so who is willing to be a servant? This is 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 worshiped Ma Yilong as his teacher and specialized in cultivating land. It would be strange for him to be willing to help Xu Zhenming.
"My people, my people, cultivated fields!" 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 entire dynasty knew that Zhang Juzheng was a master who was bound to retaliate. 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 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 peeled, it will become barren if it cannot be planted." What a bunch of shit!”
Before entering the bathroom, Zhu Yijun emphasized to Zhang Hong again: “My field!” You are so happy, where does this anger come from today?" While waiting for the dishes to be served, Queen Mother Li noticed 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 my mother know the whole story of Xu Zhenming's impeachment?"
"People around the emperor. "Of course we have to find out more about it after dinner." Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "I don't talk when I eat, but I don't talk when I sleep."
