Chapter 150: Listen to the government

On the tenth day of the first month, the royal drive to Beijing, as usual, Liu Chengyou issued an edict in advance, and the civil and military generals in Tokyo did not need to wait. Liu Chengyou wanted to return to the palace in a low-key manner, but he couldn't keep a low profile at all, and the two guards of the Iron Cavalry and Longqi went around the city and returned to the camp, but the Fengchen army, who returned to the imperial city with the car, still earned enough eyeballs and told the people of Tokyo that the emperor had returned to Beijing.

Enter the imperial city, pass the palace gate, the emperor and queen each return to their own palace, and Liu Chengyou returns to the vertical arch hall.

The vertical arch hall is also as usual, and it seems that there is no change that Liu Chengyou does not like, and he has been in charge for almost a year, and this hall is also branded with his Liu Chengyou's mark.

"Official, what's wrong?" Looking at Liu Chengyou, who was standing in front of the hall with his back hand and looking up, Zhang Dejun couldn't help but step forward to inquire about the holy will.

Liu Chengyou's attention was on the plaque on the top, he stopped for a long time, raised his finger and ordered: "The messenger will be the prisoner, change the plaque, and change the name of this palace!" ”

Regarding the Son of Heaven's orders, Zhang Dejun did not make any complaints, expressed doubts or anything, and took the initiative to ask: "I don't know the official family, what do you want to change?" ”

Liu Chengyou said directly: "The name of the palace is Chongzheng!" ”

For the name of this palace, Liu Chengyou has long been displeased in his heart, but the disgust is the strongest at this moment, so he will do it by the way. Liu Chengyou doesn't like the word "vertical arch", the emperor will be much more relaxed if he rules by vertical arch, but now is not the time. Although it is just a change of plaque and two words, it is also a political signal.

The palace was in a quiet and busy situation for the time being, and the attendants who drove out of Beijing were placed in the royal things, and their movements were very light, for fear of affecting Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou sat behind the imperial case, touching the dragon pattern handle that had long been familiar, and sweeping the familiar scene in the hall, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel at ease. Don't look at Liu Chengyou's occasional hypocrisy on weekdays, he is dissatisfied with being in a deep palace and isolating high walls, but in fact, it is only in this palace that the feeling of being in the world is more real.

"Officials, the ministers are waiting outside the palace!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou put down a book in his hand, about the situation in Youzhou, to put it simply, Zhao Kuangzan, the king of Yan, came to ask for money and food again. Liu Chengyou's mentality is peaceful enough, Zhao Kuangzan wants to be diligent, and he doesn't mind, he has to cry and scream. has been approved by Wang Zhang, as usual, to be stingy......

"Xuan!"

"Yes!"

The official family wants to meet the minister to discuss politics, and he can't be disturbed, Zhang Dejun hurriedly made a gesture to several eunuchs who were still finishing up in the palace, and waved his hand, as quickly as catching mosquitoes.

"Ministers welcome Your Majesty back to Beijing!"

The courtiers who came to pay respects, whether they were with them or not, all came with Pingzhang, and several generals such as Shang Hongqian, Bai Wenke, and Li Hongxin were also there.

"Excuse me!" Treating these civil and military veterans who are now standing at the top of the power of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chengyou is still very polite on his face.

"This time, Emperor Zigong went south, I am not in the court, I rely on the ministers to uphold the country's affairs, deal with the urgency, make the upper and lower harmony, and all affairs are accessible!" Liu Chengyou praised Wang Zhang, Feng Dao, Zhao Ying, Wang Jun and other ministers who stayed behind.

It's just a matter of one sentence, which makes the atmosphere between the monarch and the minister soothe. This time out of Beijing, back and forth for more than 20 days, in his absence, the situation in Tokyo is very stable, the ministers are in charge, and it is not bad, Liu Chengyou has already understood.

"How is the sacrifice of the first emperor in Beijing?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the spiritual seat of the ancestor has been enshrined in the temple, and it is still waiting for the temple sacrifice!" Feng Dao said.

For Liu Zhiyuan's funeral, there are some follow-up sacrifices, but it is no longer what Liu Chengyou cares about. After a little attention, it's over.

swept Feng Dao's ministers who stayed in Beijing, and lightly ordered: "During my departure from Beijing, all the chapters approved by the Zhongshu Gate have been transferred out, and I will pick a few copies to check them!" ”

Feng Dao and the others glanced at each other, and this Tianzi, as soon as he returned to the court, he couldn't wait to start taking power again. Although he was thinking, his face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and responded: "Yes!" ”

As if seeing the strangeness in their hearts, Liu Chengyou raised his sleeves slightly: "I went south, and I was happy to be light, which caused the people to suffer." If this has been relaxed for a long time, I am afraid of slacking off and slowing down the government! ”

"Your Majesty is diligent!"

In the face of this compliment, Liu Chengyou looked calm, looked at the ministers twice, and said: "All ministries and departments, pick some important things to talk about!" ”

This is to listen to the government, the air in the hall was a little condensed, and Wang Zhang got up and came: "Your Majesty, after the beginning of spring, the imperial court issued an order to urge all provinces, prefectures and counties to do things to persuade farming. The ministers and other ministers selected the ministers and the imperial historian to inspect the Central Plains, and according to the inspection report, the spring planting in each state was good! ”

"The foundation of the country is farming and farming!" Liu Chengyou bowed his head and expressed his satisfaction: "The country has been in war for many years, the land is barren, and the farming work is sluggish, so far there has been a moment of peace. In less than three years, it may be difficult for the people to recover. In the next three to five years, agriculture will still be the top priority of the Han Dynasty, and the central and local, internal and external officials must not relax and slack! ”

"The government of all localities should actively deploy all plough tools, agricultural seeds, and ploughing cattle to ensure that they are used in place! The affairs of the state camps, the envoys are responsible for their duties......"

"Yes!"

"That's right!" After a slight pause, Liu Chengyou looked at Feng Feng, who had bent his waist a little more, and said, "How is the promotion of Quyuan plow?" ”

The invention and use of the Quyuan plow represents the development of agricultural technology to a high level, which is light and labor-saving, flexible in mobilization, convenient for soiling, and greatly conducive to agricultural cultivation and improve efficiency.

However, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, wars have been frequent, and advanced farming tools have been born, but in terms of promotion, it is really in a backward stage, especially in the northern region. In addition, the technology of the curved plough has also been continuously improved in tens of hundreds of years, and now, it can barely be described as mature.

It has been observed that in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the application of "Jiangdong plow" has been very extensive. Previously, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to promote Quyuan plough in the northern states. Of course, unlike the situation of small paddy fields in the south, it was transferred to the north, and in view of the characteristics of the land in the north, the design and casting of the plough was also constantly improving.

Hearing Liu Chengyou's question, Feng Dao still thought for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty, I have urged the local governments, but the promotion of the new plough cannot be effective in a moment, and the Qianshou farmers are not able to replace it in a short time, but the rich family is enough." More than 7,000 new plows built by the imperial court in the past half year have been distributed to various places outside the camps. The ministers are willing to build public ploughshares, and rent and sell to the people to benefit farmers......"

Listening to his introduction, Liu Chengyou nodded, there was no impatience on his face, the promotion of technology has never been a government decree, it takes time, and it requires financial resources.

Liu Chengyou instructed: "In view of the promotion and rental and sale of new ploughs, draw up a statement, and the court will discuss and agree on it, so as to achieve an effective law!" ”

"Yes!"
