Chapter 34: The boat-causing water is the tears of the common people. If you don’t come to Hengliu, you don’t know
If you offend Feng Bao, you will be exempted from official status because you step into the official office with your left foot.
If you offend Zhang Juzheng, you will be exempted from residence just because you step into the official office with your right foot.
Having offended both of them, it is very likely that they will be exiled to Yongning Temple to cut ice to catch fish.
After receiving the message from Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, Xu Zhenming began to coordinate and arrange all the plans. The emperor's marriage and farm affairs must be available, and the dirty work can be done when His Majesty is away.
"Didn't I say that we should sow seeds after the Qingming Festival? It's only the first day of the first lunar month, can we raise seedlings?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown. He was really practicing it seriously.
Xu Zhenming looked at the huge glass fire chamber and sighed once again that power is really omnipotent. Xu Zhenming said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the main purpose before and after the Qingming Festival is to warm the ground and provide irrigation."
Is the glass fire chamber lacking floor temperature? Lack of irrigation? Nothing is lacking.
Zhu Yijun looked at the glass fire chamber and understood what Xu Zhenming meant. Even if there was a lack of light, it could be solved.
The taste of power is indeed wonderful.
"Your Majesty, come this way." Xu Zhenming brought Zhu Yijun to the nursery. There are three types of potatoes, namely yellow, purple, and white, while there are four types of sweet potatoes, namely red heart, white heart, yellow heart, and purple heart.
These three kinds of potatoes and four kinds of sweet potatoes were all sent to the capital by Luo Gongchen, the governor of the coastal defense department of Yuegang City.
What Zhu Yijun has to do is to spread all kinds of potatoes and sweet potatoes on the ground together with everyone, and wait for them to germinate. After they germinate, they can cut them and start growing seedlings.
It is not very troublesome to carry potatoes and sweet potatoes. Zhu Yijun held a pen in his hand and recorded Xu Zhenming's words in a book bit by bit.
Xu Zhenming and several old farmers chatted for a long time about water chestnut seedlings, facing a pile of potatoes and sweet potatoes spread on the ground. Zhu Yijun just listened and did not speak.
After Xu Zhenming finished chatting with the old farmer, he came to His Majesty and said: "This seedling cultivation is the top priority."
"These water chestnuts are the same as potatoes and sweet potatoes. Water chestnuts are the same as potatoes and sweet potatoes. The bulbs are used. If they are planted, the bulbs will degenerate and be seriously poisonous, which means that the yield is low and unstable. If they are planted, male water chestnuts will often appear, and the plants will become dwarfed, clustered, no bulbs, and ultimately no yield. ”
Water chestnuts have many characteristics in common with potatoes and sweet potatoes. Water chestnuts are grown in Guangdong, Fujian, Guizhou, and Zhejiang. Since the Song Dynasty, some people have wanted to expand the production of water chestnuts with extremely high yields. Range planting.
But in the end, they failed. In the end, water chestnuts could be used to relieve famines in years of famine. It was extremely difficult to become a staple food.
In most cases, water chestnuts are grown as a fruit, and water chestnuts cannot grow in the north because it is cold.
"Don't these water chestnuts, potatoes and sweet potatoes have seeds?" Zhu Yijun asked a little strangely.
Xu Zhenming shook his sleeves and took out a cloth bag from inside. After opening it, there were some kidney-shaped seeds of different colors. He said with certainty: "Yes, seeds, the germination rate is too low. The yield is extremely low.”
After planting an acre of land and replanting it repeatedly, the planting density still cannot be reached.
When the water chestnut blooms, it is necessary to knock off its flowers, cut off its floating roots, and cut off its attached leaves, which will not allow enough seeds to be harvested.
After Xu Zhenming’s explanation, Zhu Yijun finally understood why seeds were not used for planting. The main reason was that they would not work.
When it comes to farming, Zhu Yijun never expresses any opinions casually. He really doesn’t know how to do it. He can grow pothos to death, so he chose to listen to the opinions of professionals.
Leave professional things to professionals.
Zhu Yijun cultivated the land, and what he planted was what he planted. He lived one day at a time and resigned to fate. Therefore, under the premise that Xu Zhenming and the old farmers really wanted to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, Zhu Yijun did not use the imperial power to cause trouble.
Xu Zhenming is a Jinshi. From the perspective of a civil servant, he could flatter His Majesty and praise His Majesty for his good words and kindness, but he did not because he did not expect that he was simply accompanying His Majesty in farming. , very simply want to do this well.
Xu Zhenming is not good at everything except farming. If he knew how to adapt, he would not carry a bamboo strip book box into Beijing.
As the sun set, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty returned to the Qianqing Palace again. After washing in the bathroom and having dinner, he ran directly to the desk and began to record every bit of today's gains.
And this time, he had an additional set of questions. These were all current difficulties, such as how to detoxify water chestnuts, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that are cultivated using tubers. How to detoxify water chestnuts, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in order to maintain yields, and how to detoxify them. This is not the issue Zhu Yijun wants to tackle now.
What Zhu Yijun needs to do now is to summarize the experiences and lessons learned from past generations of agricultural books and farmers, and grow potatoes and sweet potatoes on the land in the north.
He kept drawing a glass model on the paper. There was a large glass bubble at one end of the model, and the other end was open, and water would be poured into it. Using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the water surface Raise and lower to measure temperature.
He put down the pen in his hand and was very satisfied with the model in his hand, which was the most primitive thermometer. This thermometer can determine at what temperature potatoes and sweet potatoes can germinate and at what temperature they will thrive. At what temperature will it be cultivated? At what temperature will the frozen seedlings be replanted?
He was really serious about farming. Although Queen Mother Li always felt that the children were hard, Zhu Yijun really found everything interesting. He was thinking about how to encourage potato planting after the planting was successful. and sweet potatoes.
The way to be a king is to save the people first. If you harm the people in order to sacrifice yourself, it is like cutting off your legs and eating your belly. If your belly is full, you will die.
This is a passage Zhang Juzheng explained today when he talked about Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. It means: As a king, you must first think about the people. If you harm the people to serve the monarch, it is like cutting off If you eat the meat from your thigh, your body will be dead even though you are full.
People can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it.
People are like water, they can carry a boat and they can also capsize it.
The reason is very simple and not difficult to understand, but usually the emperor is the last person to know that the country is going to perish.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the turmoil of the Yellow Turban Army seemed to spread across the entire Eastern Han Dynasty in an instant, like a fire starting a prairie fire, as if it was suddenly ignited. The sky is dead, Huang Tiandang is standing, at the age of Jiazi, the world The call sign of good luck seemed to have resounded throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty and blossomed everywhere in just a few months. Is the surging momentum of the Yellow Turban Army really an accident? Not really.
Long before the Yellow Turbans uprising, the slogan "The sky is dead" had been widely circulated among the people.
There is a brick called Cang Tian Nai Brick, which was carved on April 4, the third year of Jianning. This brick was carved fourteen years before the Yellow Turban Army uprising.
The sky is from death to death, which is the process of public resentment from undercurrent to boiling over.
The water that overturns the boat is the tears of the people. You will not know it until you reach Hengliu.
The water that overthrows the imperial court and the country is the tears of the common people, but until it flows horizontally, gentlemen and those who govern people cannot see it.
Zhu Yijun did not see the tears of the common people, but he knew the outcome of the Ming Dynasty and knew his responsibility.
"Huh! It's done. Give it to Feng Daxuan tomorrow and let him burn it out and put it in the Jingshan glass fire room. Since it's going to be done, it must be done well, carefully and clearly." Zhu Yijun handed over the drawing in his hand. He gave it to Zhang Hong, then walked towards the bed, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep.
Go to bed early and get up early to grow taller.
Zhang Hong handed the papyrus to the palace maid, and the palace maid gave the papyrus to Xu Jue. Xu Jue handed it over to Feng Bao overnight, and Feng Bao asked the Bingzhan Bureau to bake it overnight.
Officials inside and outside the empire are always ready to serve His Majesty the Emperor at any time. This is the emperor's right.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised his head, and a thunder flashed across the sky. The rumble spread and exploded in the air, and then reached the Wenhua Hall where the court was discussing.
At this time, Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, was in the process of becoming an official again.
This time, it was not because the corpse was not included in Wang Chonggu’s list of generals to be promoted to the capital because of the vegetarian meal, but because Tan Lun went to the Chao Ri Altar to offer sacrifices during the spring equinox. Due to the cold weather in late spring, he caught the wind and coughed repeatedly. , disgraceful.
The emperor would be reprimanded by Empress Dowager Li if he knocked over tables and chairs or if he did not walk smoothly. Then when the courtiers were performing sacrifices, they would also be disrespectful if they coughed, sneezed, squatted down due to lack of energy, whispered to each other, etc.
The people who impeached Tan Lun were Jingsong and Han Bixian, the censors of Fujian Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"My army has a heavy responsibility, and it is entrusted to someone else. If something unexpected happens to the Northern Captives and invades our territory, how can we send thousands of times to prepare for trouble if we can't do it for a while?" Ge Shouli, General Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate After reading Jing Song's memorial, he handed it to Xiao Huangmen, who placed it in front of Zhang Juzheng.
"Ah, yes, yes, you are right. Tomorrow I will write another official memorial and beg for leave because of my illness. Isn't that just because I don't like me? I won't be an eyesore to you here." Tan Lun stood up suddenly and was about to leave.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Tan Lun and said calmly: "Tan Shangshu, this is the Wenhua Hall."
As soon as he said this, Zhu Xixiao, who was standing at the door holding an embroidered spring knife and a cleansing whip, breathed a sigh of relief. Tan Lun was so angry that he left the table angrily and asked the officials whether to stop him or not.
Tan Lun left privately like this, which was definitely a breach of etiquette. According to the system, the correction officer had to take him down on the spot, which was his duty.
But as a martial artist, Zhu Xixiao took down the Minister of War on the spot, which was causing trouble for his brother Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong.
When Tan Lun heard Zhang Juzheng calling him, he could only shake his sleeves vigorously, looked at the proud Ge Shouli with disgust, and sat back in his seat.
Tan Lun betrayed the Jin Party, and the Jin Party took advantage of every opportunity to impeach him. Tan Lun indeed made a mistake and violated etiquette. This was indeed a big crime in the Ming Dynasty with strict etiquette.
Zhu Yijun paused the pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and then continued writing.
It doesn’t matter what Ge Shouli’s fart means.
Tan Lun fell ill before the Spring Equinox. He claimed to be sick and asked for leave, so he did not attend the sacrificial ceremony at the Asahi Altar. The officials did not allow him to take sick leave. Tan Lun went to the Asahi Altar with his illness. The cold wind almost killed him. After he was sent away, he had just recovered from the illness when the dogs from the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to pounce on him.
One after another, Tan Lun changed his family because of the promotion of the list of generals in the capital camp.
At least that's what most people in the Jin Party think.
Tan Lun's situation is extremely difficult.
"Ge Zongxian and Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, are also coughing at the altar of sun. Why is no one impeaching Lu Shusheng?" Feng Bao started to get weird.
“Is there anything else going on?” Ge Shouli frowned and looked at Feng Bao with confusion.
"Is it possible that Ge Zongxian only knows one thing but not the other?" Feng Bao sneered. Is it possible that the vanguard of the Jin Party impeached a minister without complete information?
When the little emperor goes out, he will ask Feng Bao to tell the truth!
As a member of the inner court, Feng Bao’s first duty is to protect the imperial power. Tan Lun offended the Jin Party because of the promotion of generals in the capital to prevent the Jin Party from becoming dominant. Tan Lun's purpose, whether he used this matter as a surrender to Zhang Juzheng, directly and indirectly protected the emperor's safety.
Feng Bao naturally wanted to keep Tan Lun.
Feng Bao sat up straight, with full firepower, pointed at Ge Shouli and said calmly: "The Analects of Confucius: Wei Linggong says: If you are generous to yourself but do not blame others, you will be far away from resentment."
"Ge Zongxian is also a scholar. What do you mean by this? Explain it? If Mr. Ge doesn't want to explain it, it doesn't matter. Our eunuch will do it."
Ge Shouli's expression changed when he heard this.
This eunuch is hitting people with the big stick of the Analects of Confucius again!
