Chapter 63
Pan Chen cautiously followed Gan Xiang into the inner hall of the Taihe Palace, which had never been set foot by a woman, and the expected grandeur still gave Pan Chen a great visual impact, this inner hall was almost the size of a football field and a half, but it was not empty, just the books on the file shelves were amazing enough, not to mention that the six departments of the three provinces of the imperial court had their own places to store zĂ i, like that kind of large office.
After entering the inner hall, Gan Xiang took the initiative to take Pan Chen to the left side of the screen to walk, the screen turned out to be an extremely grand 3D three-dimensional surround sand sculpture mountain and river landform map, each place is inserted with a small flag, the flag is written with a hairpin flower small block name, Pan Chen from left to right, after turning a big circle, finally saw the territory of Daqi, from north to south, the north of the Great Xing'an Mountains is like a natural barrier, the south has Dali, the south of Xinjiang, no matter how the history changes, how the place name changes, but for the climate Pan Chen still has some understanding, She flattened out the materials she had put together on a large rosewood table, then picked up a pen on the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and began to record it from Jiankang City, where she is now.
Pan Chen looked extremely carefully, every place seemed to have to be considered for a long time, and then put down a pen to record, Gan Xiang They thought that Pan Chen was just taking a look, who knew that she had not been good after reading it for so long, Qi Mozhou finished the review, and also walked in, and saw that Pan Chen was still there looking, writing, and sometimes drawing something in mid-air with a pen stroke, with a solemn expression, which was very different from the heartlessness and lungs on weekdays, such Pan Chen, Qi Mozhou had never seen it.
After entering the inner hall, Qi Mozhou's eyes kept falling on Pan Chen, and he didn't move away at all, until he sat down, Gan Xiang handed him a cup of hot tea, Qi Mozhou reacted, Gan Xiang pointed at Pan Chen, and asked Qi Mozhou in a low voice:
"Niangniang actually knows how to look at mountains and rivers, did the emperor teach her?"
Qi Mozhou lifted the lid of the teacup, looked down at the tea inside, and after taking a sip, he shook his head, which was regarded as answering Gan Xiang's question, and Gan Xiang couldn't help but be speechless: "If it wasn't for the emperor's professor, could it be taught by Pan Xiang?" â
After saying this, Gan Xiang denied this possibility: "No, it won't be taught by Pan Xiang, Pan Xiang has always been the master of peace, maybe even he himself won't look at this mountain and river map, let alone teach Niangniang." â
Qi Mozhou glanced at Gan Xiang and replied in a low voice:
"There's more to her than that."
After listening to Qi Mozhou's words, Gan Xiang showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and his eyes fell on Pan Chen again.
Pan Chen forgot to sleep and eat, and after three hours of tidying up without rest, he almost sorted out most of the places, and then came to Qi Mozhou, handed the things he had sorted out to Qi Mozhou, and said with dry lips:
"It's all written. Your Majesty, take a look. â
Qi Mozhou didn't take the lead in looking at the information she organized, but handed her a cup of tea, Pan Chen was not polite, took the teacup and drank it, and Gan Xiang and Master Li on the side looked at each other for a while.
"The emperor used his own cup for Pan Zhaoyi, which is not like our emperor's style." Master Li said to Gan Xiang's eyes.
Gan Xiang replied to him with a 'talk less and watch more plays.' '.
When Pan Chen was drinking water, Qi Mozhou read what she wrote from beginning to end, during which he raised his eyes and looked at Pan Chen three times, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the understanding and insight of the woman in front of him were amazingly terrifying.
After reading it, Qi Mozhou handed it over to Gan Xiang and Master Li to see, and the two looked at Pan Chen in shock when they read the first page, Pan Chen also drank the water, and when he saw Gan Xiang and they looked at him, he walked over and said:
"What is written here is my personal understanding and opinion, if Gan Xiang, Master Li and Master Cao see something inappropriate, they can directly point it out and tell me, and we will discuss and discuss it, for the climate problem, I have only read a lot of introductions in the book before, but I have not been to the actual place, and now it is only the first draft of the preliminary comparison of the mountains and rivers map, and it needs to be revised again."
Gan Xiang and Master Li nodded to Pan Chen in a daze, Gan Xiang read a few pages, and simply gave up the position to Lord Li and Lord Cao, Lord Fang, Lord Li is the head of the household department, in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, but it is the Ministry of Agriculture that actually does things, Lord Cao and Lord Fang carefully read the information from beginning to end, nodded again and again, Lord Cao was quite emotional:
Pan Zhaoyi wrote, as if all places are displayed in front of you, all in detail, even if we know the regional differences are not as detailed as Pan Zhaoyi wrote, the Northeast is rich in land and resources, sparsely populated, it is indeed suitable for planting forestry, as well as planting some crops that are not too high for geographical requirements, and in the northwest, the terrain is flat, there are few mountains, rivers and lakes, it is considered a land of water shortage, the landform is dry, suitable for some dryland crops, and the temperature in the south is more suitable for cultivation, vegetables and fruits, silkworms, rice, etc...... To say the truth that I am not afraid of the emperor's blame, these inductions have actually been done by our Ministry of Agriculture, but no one can summarize this in such detail, Pan Zhaoyi's move is a great virtue and righteousness, not only to solve the dilemma of the Ministry of Agriculture, this induction minister dares to say, if you can refer to the completion, it will be a matter of benefiting the country and the people, God bless me Daqi. â
Gan Xiang and Master Li glanced at each other, and Lord Li said: "Indeed, this induction is the most thoughtful and detailed that the minister has ever seen, and the minister has also seen the induction and summary made by the Ministry of Agriculture, but it is not even one-tenth of Pan Zhaoyi's, after all, there is no such a well-read person, and there is a person who has a deep study of various places, Pan Zhaoyi is really a great talent, and Li admires it." â
Pan Chen waved his hand again and again, and it always makes people happy to hear praise: "It's not that powerful, Master Li praised it falsely." â
Gan Xiang continued: "Pan Zhaoyi should not be modest, not to mention that Master Li admires it so much, even I, a person who does not understand agriculture, can see that Pan Zhaoyi is indeed doing his best, such a detailed summary, if it is not for the people of Daqi, it will never be written." Pan Zhaoyi's intentions are admired and moved. â
Pan Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard each of them compliment, lowered his head and said sincerely with a little shyness:
"I, I just want to apply what I have learned, I used to read a lot of books on the terrain and landforms, thinking that if agriculture can flourish because of this, it can be regarded as a good thing for the benefit of the people, you know, agriculture is the foundation of the country's development, in the past, the reason why the scholars were able to grow, in fact, a large part of the reason is because they grasped the lifeblood of the people, enclosed the land and respected themselves, enslaved the people to serve for it, but only gave the people a small amount of subsistence payment, after hundreds of years of encroachment, only formed the intricate power of the roots of this old tree, If you want to reform, then you have to start from the most fundamental place, and this kind of thing is not urgent, you must insist on it day after day, involving a large number of department personnel, management is the most difficult, I put forward only a general direction, but in fact, it depends on your implementation, implementation is the key to success. â
Gan Xiang and Master Li were once again convinced by Pan Chen's words, and they saluted Corporal Xian, saluted Pan Chen, and expressed their respect, Pan Chen's grade was much lower than them, and hurriedly retreated to the side, and returned the salute.
Lord Cao said to Qi Mozhou and Pan Chen:
"This summary, the minister wants to take it back to the Ministry of Agriculture to study it carefully, I wonder if the emperor and Pan Zhaoyi will allow it?"
Qi Mozhou glanced at Pan Chen, Pan Chen said that he had no opinion, and Qi Mozhou nodded to Lord Cao and said, "Yes." If there is anything wrong or you don't understand, you can come directly to me, and I will ask Pan Zhaoyi for you. â
After hearing this, Lord Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Qi Mozhou, and Lord Li also offered to leave: "The minister also retired, this matter is a serious matter, and the minister also went back to discuss with Lord Cao, if there is anything you don't understand, come back tomorrow to ask." â
After Qi Mozhou agreed, the three of them stepped forward to salute and leave, Gan Xiang didn't care about the affairs of the household, so he didn't accompany him, and after Lord Li left, Gan Xiang came to Pan Chen and asked with a smile:
"I have long heard that there is a Langhuan Academy in Pan Xiang's mansion, which is full of books, among which there must be many geographical chronicles, Pan Zhaoyi can turn into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand with the records and memories on some books, it is really not easy."
It turned out that Gan Xiang thought that what Pan Chen was learning was in the Langhuan Academy of the Pan family, Pan Chen was in his heart, the Langhuan Academy of the Pan family, it was all for the sons and daughters, she was a concubine, and she was really not qualified to set foot there, but she couldn't tell them in detail what books he was reading, since they misunderstood, then Pan Chen didn't explain, and smiled, which was a response.
"Last time, the emperor and the minister talked about some of Pan Zhaoyi's insights, to be honest, the minister didn't believe it at the time, even later, when he saw Pan Zhaoyi himself, the minister didn't dare to believe it, because what Pan Zhaoyi said, even if it is a scholar, we may not be able to reach it, the decay of the scholar system is the foundation of the previous dynasty's destruction, I am the beginning of the Great Qi, and I must not take the old road of the previous dynasty, so innovation is necessary, at that time, everyone thought of a lot of ideas, but none of Pan Zhaoyi's few words were incisive, the development of agriculture is indeed the foundation of the country, When the people have food to eat and live a good life, the taxes can be handed over in time......"
Hearing Gan Xiang say this, Pan Chen couldn't help but interrupt:
"What Xiang Ye said is not true. In fact, I have always believed that the national policy of relying on the people to pay taxes alone cannot last long, and the most that the people can provide is the land tax and the grain tax, although the sum of these two figures is also very considerable, and it is not a problem to barely maintain the survival of the country, but it is difficult to make the country go further. â
Gan Xiang couldn't help but feel interested in Pan Chen's remarks again, and asked Pan Chen: "Then according to Pan Zhaoyi's opinion, what needs to be done to make the country go further?" It has always been the people who raise soldiers, soldiers protect the country, and soldiers can be fearless of other countries when they have soldiers in hand. â
Pan Chen shook his head at Gan Xiang, feeling that he didn't know if it was too much today, so he secretly glanced at Qi Mozhou, and asked him if he could continue, Qi Mozhou was drinking tea, and when he saw her glance, he only replied to her:
"Having said that, what else is there to ask? Go ahead. â
Pan Chen: ...... The boss's tone was a little sour, did he think she was too showy? Pan Chen secretly touched his chin and thought......
