Chapter 696: King’s Power and Prime Minister’s Power
On the tenth day of May in the second year of Shengui (318), Liang Palace.
The Xuan window was gently pushed open, and the south wind immediately rushed in.
The sky is covered with dark clouds and there is thunder.
There are slight waves on the lake, and the boats are drifting.
In the nearby pine forest, there are waves of waves and birds startling.
After a while, the patter of raindrops fell, cleaning up the dust in the air and seeming to eliminate the boredom in people's hearts.
“This rain has three joys.” Shao Xun turned around, slumped on the lounge chair by the window, and said with a smile: “One joy nourishes all things, and the garden sunflowers I planted will probably not die from drought. The spring millet planted in February is growing vigorously again. "Lang Jun, I have watered it for you, and the garden sunflower will survive the drought." Like a hamster, he keeps eating.
"Ayu, if you can't speak, just say a few words." Shao Xun said helplessly.
Wang Huifeng walked out of the room, his cheeks were red and his hair was slightly damp.
She combed her hair as if no one else was around, looked outside, and said, "Since the spring, there has been plenty of rain, so the autumn crops will be abundant."
Shao Xun looked at this strangely. woman.
She has always been very independent.
After making up her mind, she will not care about other people's opinions, nor will she be coy, but will be generous and will never hide her identity as Mr. Liang's new wife.
Even my sister Wang Jingfeng was a little dumbfounded when she saw this gesture. Do you really not care about other people's opinions?
“This second rain can greatly replenish the water volume of Bianshui, Jishui and Suiyang canals to facilitate water transportation from north to south and east to west.” Shao Xun added: “Without water transportation, we can only transport it by land. I don’t know how many refugees can be resettled.”
Wang Huifeng stood in front of the tall desk, searched, put a few official letters on the top, and said: “Nanmen, Jiwu, and Chengkuang Sanlong. It’s time for the Xiang Mansion to allocate the second batch of grain, cattle, and farm tools. Since Lang Jun mentioned the convenience of water transportation, let’s distribute them as soon as possible.” Annoying." Shao Xun sighed.
Wang Jingfeng felt very bored after finishing the pastries and slipped away quietly.
The two ignored her and continued to discuss the details of the three Longxiang mansions in the south that were only officially built this year.
Near Bianliang City, statistically speaking, there are already eight Longxiang Mansion, with a total of 9,600 soldiers.
Among them, Cangyuan (located in the north of Bianliang), Chuitai (located near Muze in the southeast of Bianliang), and Bajiao (located in the west of Bianliang, near Zhongmou) have been established for some time and have been functioning normally for a long time. operation.
Pingqiu (located in Fengqiu County) and Donghun (located in Xiaohuang County) Erlongxiang Mansion were resettled at the end of last year.
Jiwu and Chengkuang Longxiang Mansion are both located in Xiangyi County. The land and population were obtained from the mouths of the local small gentry and powerful people.
Nanmen Longxiang Mansion is located in Weishi County. It was directly transformed from the manor of the Ruan family that had been exterminated. They were all good land and were located near the city wall, hence the name.
The three Longxiang mansions were officially established only after the beginning of spring. At this time, the personnel were in place, but because they missed the spring sowing, they could only plant some short-term grains, and the court needed to provide a supply of grains. .
Wang Huifeng urged these things.
"This little secretary!" Shao Xun thought angrily: "Find me a job all day long."
The rain outside the window became more intense, hitting the window with a crackling sound.
Wang Huifeng came over, closed most of the window, and said, "Someone swore a few days ago that he didn't want to be a coward or a tyrant, and he wanted me to correct him."
After closing the window, she knelt down. Beside the recliner, he looked at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand, reached into his clothes and groped around.
Wang Huifeng let him wreak havoc for a while, and after giving him enough sweetness, he advised: "Men and women should be restrained in their affairs."
After saying that, his face turned slightly red, don't He turned over and said: "Didn't I give it to you just once?"
Shao Xun thought about it carefully, sighed with satisfaction, stood up and said: "Yes, there is still a lot to do, don't slack off. Ah."
In fact, one thing about this era is relatively friendly to the monarch, that is, he does not need to do everything himself.
The reason is still a matter of culture.
The social atmosphere is killing people!
In some eras, if you dared to hand over the army and let the generals take it on an expedition, the soldiers would dare to prepare yellow robes and give you the whole big job.
But here, because of the inequality in personality, the clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, and the strict hierarchy, there is no need to hold the army tightly in your hands or even lock it in a safe.
"It is enough to leave eight Longxiang mansions in Chenli." After Shao Xun finished reviewing it, he put the official letter on the other side after sealing it.
Wang Huifeng checked it carefully again, put it away and placed it in the wooden box.
In the evening, someone will come to collect it and send it to the Prime Minister.
"Someone in Luoyang has started to manage the manor again, and it has caused imitation. Are you going to ignore it?" Wang Huifeng picked up an official letter from the assassination supervisor, handed it to Shao Xun, and asked.
"Ignore it for the time being. In fact, not many people have done it." Shao Xun scanned it once and was about to throw it aside. Suddenly he became wicked and wrote "I know" at the end.
"Yang Bao, please recruit more troops and ships." Wang Huifeng took out another portion.
After Shao Xun read it carefully, he didn’t write it down this time—it wasn’t appropriate to write it, because it was to be sent to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
The Prime Minister Yu Chen has agreed, but has given a limit on how many can be added in a year to reduce money and food expenses. Shao Xun followed suit.
Yang Bao used to be the captain of Duzhi in Luoyang. He was recently transferred to Liang Guo to serve as the newly established position of Zhonglang General (sixth grade) in Duzhi, specializing in farming and transportation matters.
In other words, the Duzhi captains who were originally on the same level now have Shangguan, the new Duzhi Zhonglang General Yang Bao.
As an old man from Yuancong, this guy’s official position is getting bigger and bigger. Next, there are many miscellaneous matters, such as the area designated for the Luoyan Army to graze and farm;
For example, after receiving more than a hundred hectares of land from the Jiang family in Kaocheng, Tian Cao asked for instructions from the Yu family next door. Replace the families and try to connect them into one piece for maximum use.
For example, the group of Qingzhou disciples brought by Wang Pei are in principle arranged to work under Cao Lingshi to supplement the staff, but approval is required.
For example, a new batch of equipment sent from the hotel is not up to standard and needs to be sent back for re-training.
For example, Yu Liang asked for instructions to recruit refugees, go to Mi County to cut down large trees, etc.
There are so many things going on, I really don’t know how some diligent monarchs can get so excited.
After Zhu Yuanzhang took control of Nanjing, he stopped going to war and only sent his men to lead troops to fight. He was probably tripped up by these nonsense, right?
It was not until the heavy rain stopped and the sky was getting dark that Shao Xun put his brush aside and prepared to eat.
Wang Huifeng sorted out all the miscellaneous official letters before leaving and went to take a bath.
The space between your legs is extremely sticky and needs to be cleaned quickly.
When she was taking a bath, her face was a little red, and there was a hint of determination.
Today Mr. Liang was going to go fishing, but she stopped him, and gave him a lot of sweet treats.
In fact, these political matters can be dealt with completely. When the Prime Minister meets, he will naturally understand and handle them directly for you.
The system in which there are prime ministers and ministers is different from the system in which the prime ministers and six ministries are abolished and are directly responsible to the emperor.
When a prince is granted a title and worships a prime minister, the prime minister must be "worshiped", which shows the high status and the weight of power.
Theoretically, the Prime Minister can allow the monarch to "sit inside" and "leave foreign affairs to my disposal", and this is completely in line with the law and tradition.
Of course, the monarch can also interfere with the prime minister's country. This is a dispute between the monarch's power and the prime minister's power.
Wang Huifeng asked Shao Xun to be more diligent, which actually weakened the power and influence of the Prime Minister Yu Chen. To put it bluntly, it was against the rules, because you should not interfere with the Prime Minister's handling of national affairs like this.
As for whether there are other reasons for this, it is unknown to outsiders.
Moreover, it also depends on what others think, such as Yu Chen - if he can't make the decision in anything, what is the difference between him and the bachelors who will be elected in later generations?

"Hutou, my name is Grandpa." In the courtyard after the rain, which was extremely fresh, Wang Jingfeng said with a smile while holding a chubby child.
Hutou saw Shao Xun coming and immediately twisted around to get down.
"Grandpa." After coming out of his mother's arms, Hutou staggered and walked. When he had only the last few steps left, he kicked hard and jumped directly into Shao Xun's arms.
Shao Xun picked up his son high and smiled from ear to ear.
The tiger's name is Shao Yu. He was born in November of the ninth year of Yongjia (315). He is four years old this year - only two and a half years old in one year.
This child ranks fourth. Compared with the three previous brothers, he is relatively young, but he gets a lot of attention.
The two sisters Jing Feng and Hui Feng doted on him very much, and Wang Yan and Wang Xuan's father and son also visited him several times.
I don’t know whether it’s lucky or unfortunate to have a grandfather like Wang Yan.
Grandpa boasted a little bit, such as how special and "different" this son was, and made up some fake news and short stories, and Hu Tou became famous. This was his luck.
But the misfortune is also here.
Shao Xun just hugged his son for a short while, and he was already thinking a lot in his mind.
The child didn't understand this. He just opened his big black eyes, looked at his father carefully, and kept laughing.
Smiling and laughing, two bubbles came out of his mouth.
Wang Jingfeng covered his mouth and smiled, saying: "The tiger head is so stupid."
He said he was stupid, but in his heart he was very precious. He saw her walking over and holding the father and son together. Everyone hugged each other and said softly: "Mr. Lang, if you are good to me, you should also be good to Hu Tou."
Tiger Tou whined twice, seeming to agree with his mother's statement.
Wang Jingfeng chuckled, stood on tiptoes, put his face between Shao Xun and his son, and said with a smile: "The tiger head is so strong, I will be a general in the future."
Shao Xun felt that the smile on his face was a little stiff.
He suddenly had some reflections.
When fishing, will the fishing rod be broken and people dragged into the water?
"The tiger head is indeed very powerful." Shao Xun echoed absentmindedly.
He was already very tall and extremely strong.
Wang Jingfeng is also tall, with a rather small frame.
The stature of his parents means that Hu Tou will be larger than the average child when he is born. It is hard to say what he will grow into in the future.
“That’s right.” Wang Jingfeng proudly took the child back and said, “Among so many children, the one with the tiger head is the most like you.”
“You are so young, you can see it. Come out?" Shao Xun said helplessly.
"That's right." Wang Jingfeng said with a smile: "Tiger Head is the most filial person. He looks forward to seeing you every day and makes trouble several times a day."
filial piety? Shao Xun had many worries.
That's all, it's still early for these things. The most important thing now is to defeat Liu Cong and Sima Rui.
Guo Rong and others are leaving, and Wen Qiao is also going north. Make time to meet them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and give them some advice.
