Chapter 62
Just when the people around her were anxious for her, Pan Chen soaked in the small study alone for two days, and wrote down all the planting methods he knew.
Now that the Great Qi has been established for almost three years, even if the Qi family has accumulated more wealth in Mobei at the beginning, it is estimated that it will be exhausted after three years, if the economy is not developed at this time, the country is likely to face turmoil again, this does not need to be said by Pan Chen, Qi Mozhou must also know that it is a matter of how to develop.
Pan Chen looked at some of the summaries she had written on the paper, and thought to herself that if she could go to the study of Qimo Prefecture to take a look at the model of mountains and rivers and understand the current geographical distribution map of Daqi, her agricultural knowledge could be summarized more accurately. But in this era, the model of mountains and rivers should be considered a secret, will Qi Mozhou show it to her? In other words, does Qi Mozhou believe her?
Just when Pan Chenwu was entangled with himself, Li Shun came to pass the decree again, saying that the emperor announced that she would go to the Taihe Palace to meet her, and specially instructed her to wear genuine palace clothes.
Yueluo didn't understand, why did the emperor summon his own mother to meet him, and asked his mother to wear genuine palace clothes, but Pan Chen understood a little, Qi Mozhou told her to wear genuine palace clothes, it must be because there were foreign ministers in the Taihe Palace, and it was not like the previous two times, she was temporarily summoned to the past, even if there were ministers, it was only by chance, but today it should not be accidental, Qi Mozhou was willing to let her see the foreign ministers, so he instructed her like this.
Although he didn't quite understand what Qi Mozhou meant, but since he reminded him of this matter, Pan Chen naturally had to be cautious, changed into an airtight palace dress, and after thinking about it, Pan Chen still went to the small study to take out the manuscript he had written in the past two days, rolled it up and stuffed it into the wide sleeve pocket of the palace dress, in case of emergency, if she could take advantage of today's opportunity to ask Qi Mozhou to approve her to take a look at the model of mountains and rivers, maybe her research would be more accurate and more valuable.
Hurried to the Taihe Palace, the hall was as Pan Chen guessed, in addition to Qi Mozhou and Gan Xiang, there were three other officials who had never seen before, Pan Chen did not show timidity, entered and saluted Qi Mozhou, and then Gan Xiang, Gan Xiang hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted back: "There is Lao Niangniang." ”
Qi Mozhou led Pan Chen to the other three foreign ministers: "This is Pan Zhaoyi." Master Li of the Ministry of Households, Lord Zhang Cao of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Lord Fang, the deputy. ”
Qi Mozhou introduced the three adults to Pan Chen in turn, the three of them didn't dare to squint, Lord Li, the head of the household department, took the lead in bowing to Pan Chen, and the other two naturally followed, this Lord Li is a fat uncle, with two moustaches, he can't see his eyes when he laughs, and he looks very good at the relationship with Gan Xiang.
After the introduction, Gan Xiang glanced at Qi Mozhou, saw Qi Mozhou nodded, and then walked up to Pan Chen and said to Pan Chen:
"Pan Zhaoyi is not strange, today I asked the emperor to summon Pan Zhaoyi to see him, but in fact, I asked Pan Zhaoyi for advice."
Pan Chen knew in his heart, so solemnly announced that she was coming, there must be something to say to her, as for what it was, Pan Chen could roughly guess that the household department was still in the book, the Ministry of Agriculture, this prime minister must have been obsessed with the watermelon she ate last time, and wanted her to communicate with the people of the Ministry of Agriculture.
"I'm ashamed to ask for advice, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask directly." Pan Chen looked at Qi Mozhou, saw him sitting in the dragon chair while reading the Di newspaper, while leisurely drinking tea, after feeling Pan Chen's gaze, Qi Mozhou raised his eyes to look at her, and then raised his chin at her, asking her to concentrate on talking to other men.
Qi Mozhou is really a wonder, but with his signal, Pan Chen dared to let go - she should be able to do a good job if she was accosted by order.
"Pan Zhaoyi is his own person, so the minister will have something to say. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, all industries were waiting to be prospered, and the farmland in various places now has the tendency to recycle the imperial court, this matter must be Pan Zhaoyi is also a person who knows the inside story, so the minister will not repeat it, but now after the farmland is recycled, how to use it, is now bothering us and others, speaking of which this farmland can be recycled, and Pan Zhaoyi has some inseparable connections, so the minister dared to ask the emperor to summon Pan Zhaoyi to the Taihe Hall today, is he want to ask Pan Zhaoyi, after recovering the farmland, can there be a good way? ”
Pan Chen stared at Gan Xiang for a while, and then saw Qi Mozhou from the other three adults, and then said to Gan Xiang:
"A good recipe...... Yes, there is. ”
As soon as Pan Chen's words came out, Qi Mozhou's eyes rose, put down the newspaper, leaned into the dragon chair with a teacup, and looked at Pan Chen for a long time, his eyes seemed to have a kind of 'I don't speak, just watch you pretend to be forced', Pan Chen grinned at him, and continued to Gan Xiang: "It depends on whether our emperor is willing to cooperate." ”
Gan Xiang and Master Li glanced at each other, and they didn't quite understand what Pan Zhaoyi meant by this: "This, I don't know what Pan Zhaoyi wants the emperor to cooperate?" ”
Pan Chen hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said his request to Qi Mozhou:
"It's just that I want to take a look at the map of mountains and rivers, the best kind of hills, the kind with complete mountains, I don't know if the emperor can agree."
The outer hall and dormitory of the Taihe Palace, the concubines can enter, but the inner hall is a place to discuss the government and politics, and the concubines have always been forbidden to set foot in it, and Pan Chen is not very sure, whether Qi Mozhou will let her go to see it, but if she doesn't take a look and do geographical analysis, her research can't be established at all, and if there is a deviation at that time, it will lose its value.
Pan Chen's request not only made Qi Mozhou stunned, but also made Gan Xiang and Master Li stunned, they were still thinking in their minds just now that Pan Zhaoyi asked the emperor to cooperate with the reward of some harem, but no one expected that Pan Zhaoyi would propose to see the terrain of mountains and rivers.
The atmosphere in the Taihe Hall froze for a while, knowing that Qi Mozhou's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous light, and after a moment of silence, he opened his voice:
"Give me a reasonable reason."
Pan Chen saw the dangerous look in Qi Mozhou's eyes, he didn't care, but was happy in his heart, and asked her to say the reason, that is, there is hope, and after sorting out what she wanted to say in her head, he said it without stage fright:
"The reason is...... The world is big, the land is vast, each place has a different climate and temperature, if the whole country is unified to plant rice, may not be able to get a bumper harvest in the country, in fact, I have seen in a regional chronicle before, the climate of the north and south is very different, some places are near the sea, some places are depressions, some places are windy and dry, some places are extremely humid, and some places are like spring all year round, for farmland, if these can not be taken into account, the yield of farmland will be greatly reduced, And the consumption of soil, year after year, is an incalculable loss for the country, do it in a proper way, do it in a certain way, do it in a certain way, make a completely correct plan of action, formulate regulations, and then go deep into the grassroots, record experience, in the long run, can develop agriculture, if a country only relies on fighting wars and collecting taxes, it will not last long, and the people have no food to eat, how can they pay full taxes? Therefore, the right way to support the people is to support the people with land. ”
The quiet needle drop in the Taihe Hall could be heard, Gan Xiang looked at Pan Chen with a dull face, as if he had long forgotten the etiquette of the monarch and the minister to avoid suspicion, Lord Li of the household department twisted his beard and fell into contemplation, and the two adults of the Ministry of Agriculture were also shocked.
Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen with a complicated expression, Pan Chen stopped them talking, and quickly reflected on whether he had said something inappropriate and reactionary, Gan Xiang was the first to react, and asked Pan Chen shamelessly:
Pan Zhaoyi said...... Feeding the people with land? ”
Pan Chen hesitated and nodded: "Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with supporting the people with land." Otherwise, why take back the land? ”
"Yes, there is nothing wrong, the minister is just a little surprised, Pan Zhaoyi actually understands these things. I was just taken aback for a moment. It is indeed the best way to support the people with land, which can solve the livelihood problems of the people, and secondly, it can also allow the people to have a livelihood. Gan agreed with Pan Chen's thoughts.
Lord Li, the head of the household department, also praised this: "Yes, the minister also thinks that Pan Zhaoyi is right, if it is determined today, but the life of the common people is not good, in the past, there were scholars in various places to control the land, and now there is just a trend of recycling, the scholars are turbulent, the people are uneasy, it is the time to vigorously develop agriculture, agriculture is prosperous, and the country can prosper." ”
Pan Chen felt that Lord Li's words were to the point: "That's right, Lord Li said very well, the first condition for a prosperous country is to thrive agriculture, and the people take food as the sky. ”
The Minister of Agriculture is not of high grade, but when he heard this, he also had the courage to express his opinion: "The minister is soft-spoken, but he also thinks that what Pan Zhaoyi said is very reasonable. ”
Pan Chen looked at Qi Mozhou again, handed him the information she had written these days in his sleeve pocket, and said sincerely:
"Your Majesty, this is a summary written by the concubines who have been sleepless for the past two days, there are many imperfections, and they have to discuss in detail with the practical personnel below the Ministry of Agriculture, but in terms of regional differentiation, the concubines really can't imagine it out of thin air, and they have a practical basis, and the concubines know that the mountains and rivers are military secrets, and they shouldn't have asked to see it, but these regional divisions are really not good, and the emperor is asked to be accommodating."
Qi Mozhou took the thick stack of paper handed over by Pan Chen, all written on it were some crop details, planting essentials, so many types, it must indeed be written out without sleep, for Pan Chen to work so hard, Qi Mozhou's heart is complicated, he looked up at her, only to see that her big eyes were full of expectation, Gan Xiang and Master Li also made a request to him for this, it seems that they are somewhat convinced of what Pan Chen said.
Qi Mozhou handed the information back to Pan Chen, and then raised his hand and said to Pan Chen in a deep voice:
"That's right."
