"Your Majesty, how about you enjoy the fruits of your labor tonight?"

Zong Shu said: "The rice cut by His Majesty himself was all cut down alone. How about using your rice and making it for you? ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Zong Shu's proposal.

Today is truly a happy day! Take your ministers and participate in labor in person!

Just now, I sweated a little more, and my waist and legs were a little sore, but now I feel full of energy and comfort.

I was used to eating cold melon in the palace, but now I feel sweeter, and even drinking water has a fragrant taste.

The paddy fields have just been harvested, the millet has just been beaten, and there is a process of hulling.

In the evening, the rice is made into two kinds of dry and thin, and there are pre-prepared baked cakes, pickles, dried fruits, and so on.

It can be said that the food could not be simpler, but slightly better than when the ordinary family of the Great Song Dynasty entertained guests.

Even, Lin Lingsu was ready to be scolded by His Majesty.

Who knows, from Huizong to the ministers, everyone eats deliciously.

Huizong killed three bowls by himself, one bowl of white rice and two bowls of white rice porridge, and hiccuped several times in a row.

Taking advantage of Huizong's happiness, Zong Shu said: "Your Majesty, what is the main reason for the large increase in your meal?" ”

Huizong stroked his stomach and chanted a poem: "Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families. The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant. ”

The emperor is still the emperor, eat a few bowls of white rice, and you can think of Du Fu's poems.

The ministers offered rainbow farts to Huizong:

"Your Majesty, the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty is nothing, and the prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty will start from now on!"

"The grain of the Great Song Dynasty will far surpass that of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is a generation of British lords, and he will sweep the northern land and dominate the United States!"

Zong Shu can afford goosebumps when he hears this, what you are talking about, can you do it with Zhao Ji's virtue?

Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not, I'm afraid Zhao Ji didn't even think about it.

Huizong stood up and said, "I'm happy today, my stomach is a little swollen." ”

"Your Majesty, you, this is pure, self-inflicted!" Zong Shu also stood up and said.

Hiss! Everyone couldn't help but gasp, no, it was heat.

This guy wants to make trouble again!

Huizong's face was unhappy, and Zong Shu smiled: "Rice, you personally cut it from the field, rice, make it yourself, enjoy it yourself, isn't it just self-inflicted?" ”

It turned out to be such a self-inflicted!

Huizong laughed, no wonder, what he made himself, eating is especially enjoyable.

Only then did Huizong understand Zong Shu's intention of letting the prince go down to the field to cultivate.

The prince was asked to do this so that he could understand agriculture and become familiar with farming.

Huizong came out today, just cut the rice for a while, and learned a lot of knowledge.

In the past, he had no idea when rice would be planted and harvested, at what price, or how much per mu it would yield.

If you don't understand this, you will deviate when formulating policies, and you may even be fooled by court officials and prefecture officials.

Just like the emperor who heard that the people had no food to eat, he asked "why don't the people eat meat", which is obviously about to destroy the country.

Today, I just came out once, worked for a while, and chatted with Chen Yang, and I knew that such a wealth of information was really worth the trip.

No wonder, at that time, Empress Liu insisted on letting the crown prince worship Zongshu as a teacher.

The prince of Zongshu Sect has a very good set!

If it was Li Ruoshui, he would never lead the prince to the field.

Huizong knew that there were many princes here. This is also the place where the prince came out with Zong Shu at that time and found the coal.

In the past six months, there have been many changes in the imperial court, especially the increase in the use of the inner treasury, which is not only related to Zong Shu, but also inseparable from the prince's full support.

It can be seen that the southern rice has successfully moved north, Zong Shu is the first credit, and the prince's credit is not small.

If the crown prince, like other officials, did not believe that Zong Shu would succeed at all, how could he come to Mi County many times? How can you work in the field yourself?

Looking at the officials who came with us today, a small half of them have turned over the ground outside Bianliang City.

Zong Shu asked more than 200 officials to attend lectures and work at the Great Song Academy of Sciences, which was used to offset the silver that Zong Shu lent them.

The reason why Zong Shu lent them the silver was because they invested the silver in Liang Shicheng's match factory, and they lost all their money.

Because of Liang Shicheng, more than 200 officials immediately fell into economic difficulties, but fortunately, Zong Shu took this approach to stabilize them.

Otherwise, I don't know what would happen.

Zong Shu's move is tantamount to wiping Liang Shicheng's ass, and looking at it more deeply, it is to share sorrow for the court.

What reward do you give to Zong Shu?

It seems that he can't give anything, he has already been given the background of Tongjinshi, let him be an official, and he is not willing.

Give him silver? Zong Shu is the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, and if he has less silver, people don't look down on him at all!

"Zong Shu, the south-to-north movement of rice has been a great success, the benefit is in the present, and the merit is in the future!" Huizong gave a conclusive conclusion.

The ministers nodded one after another, Zong Shu and the crown prince did a big thing this time.

The completion of this major event solved the potential crisis of the entire Great Song Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the comprehensive revitalization of the Great Song Dynasty.

No wonder, just now Huizong unconsciously thought of the "prosperous era of Kaiyuan".

Whether a country is strong or not is nothing more than two manifestations: whether the territory is vast or not; Is there enough food?

If the grain is not enough, the army will not be strong, and if the army is not strong, the country will be unstable, and if the country is unstable, the land will not be wide.

So, even after a thousand years, food is still a major issue and has been raised to the level of food security.

"Your Majesty, you are not wrong at all! Know, it's in place! I'm so relieved! Half of the word rice is the word for food, and half of the word is the word for reverse, and if there is no food, it will be reversed, which is a historical law. ”

The first half of Zong Shu's sentence was condescending, as if he was the Son of Heaven, and His Majesty had become a subject instead.

The second half of the sentence has aroused great resonance among everyone, how can the people not rebel without food?

"Zong Shu, you said it yourself, what reward do you want?" Huizong threw the problem to Zong Shu.

"I want silver," Zong Shu's words startled Huizong, no, this guy wants silver, too much, the court can't afford it.

Zong Shu picked up a piece of cold melon and took a bite: "I want silver, it's not interesting, I'm not a layman, I only love yellow and white things." ”

This guy is talking, can you not gasp for breath?

"I don't want an official position. I have to use my time in the right place, for example, to accompany Zhuzhu more. ”

When Chen Guoting heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, Zong Shu, he is only ambitious, he is not an official, it is really a big loss for the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that every year on this day, as the 'Great Song Labor Day', Your Majesty will personally demonstrate and bring officials of all sizes to participate in a day of farming. I have 300 acres of land outside Bianliang City, which is a high-yield rice experimental field of my Great Song Academy of Sciences, and all officials can participate in labor here. ”

The "Labor Day" of the Great Song Dynasty is a fresh mention and a practice, which has existed since ancient times.

On the day of spring sowing, many emperors would go to the fields to help the plow and move the hoe to show the importance of the crops.

Huizong also participated in the labor today and felt very good, as did the other officials.

Therefore, Zong Shu's proposal was immediately approved.

Of course, Huizong immediately agreed, for fear that it would be too late to agree, and this guy would make any excessive demands.

Zhao Gou, Zhao Kai and others hated it so much, today's limelight made the prince and Zong Shu snatch it!

Zong Shu didn't want silver, didn't want officials, and only asked the imperial court to set up a "Great Song Labor Day".

It looks high, but it is actually selfish.

Zong Shu, this is treating His Majesty and all the officials, big and small, as his free labor, no, it's coolies!

On the day of the "Great Song Dynasty Labor Force", His Majesty and the officials were no different from the miners digging coal in Mi County!

Your Majesty will work for Zong Shu! In the future, who will be able to cure him!
