Chapter 80: The Feast

Although Zhu Qizhen really wanted to leave the palace immediately.

He didn't want to play, but to see the real city of Beijing. It is the real Ming Dynasty.

Although he is in this era, it has been half a year.

But his whereabouts have always been confined to the palace city, and he doesn't understand the real Ming Dynasty at all. Maybe you can't see it far away, but under the city of Beijing, you have to figure it out.

In order to prescribe the right medicine.

However, since the Empress Dowager has already said it. You can't leave the palace until after spring. Zhu Qizhen could only wait.

During this period of time, Zhu Qizhen was not idle.

On the second day of the second month of February, Zhu Qizhen began to have the first prayer feast.

This time the feast was very grand.

Although it is still in the Wenhua Palace, the five cabinets have arrived, and the Jinyi Guard is in charge of etiquette, and most of the Hanlin Academy has come, but it is just standing aside to make up the numbers.

Yu Qian is naturally also listed.

However, the speaker is Wang Zhi.

It's grand though.

But Zhu Qizhen had some indifferent and boring feelings.

Zhu Qizhen admires Wang Zhi's knowledge very much, and in his daily lectures, no matter how tricky Zhu Qizhen asks, Wang Zhi can hold on to it, and even pull the topic back, never going off topic.

Even Zhu Qizhen used some physical phenomena to ask Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi can also solve it with the easy counting of yin and yang.

even let Zhu Qizhen know that what Wang Zhi said was wrong, but he couldn't refute the feeling. Of course, he can do some physical experiments to slap Wang Zhi in the face.

But any judgment of right and wrong is based on unified values.

If there is no concept of unity of values, no matter how you talk about it, it will be the same as a duck. What if he even forced Wang Zhi to admit defeat?

In Shilin's view, it was just Zhu Qizhen using imperial power to oppress the scholars.

Zhu Qizhen was a little frustrated, but he also knew that there was a long way to go to implement science.

Today, however, is different.

Today, so many high-ranking officials were observing, so that Wang Zhi did not dare to say a word at all, and all the lectures were based on the original questions he had taught in advance.

For Zhu Qizhen, there is a feeling of being boring.

Just to show that as an emperor, I respect sacred learning, and I want to show that I am very interested. The liturgical component outweighs the didactic component.

made Zhu Qizhen physically and mentally exhausted.

But I also know that this is a first-class time to buy people's hearts.

Therefore, after the experience was over, the emperor originally rewarded the officials who participated in the sutra feast, and also gave a feast, so it was called a sutra feast, and this sutra feast was the feast of the feast.

In the past, the emperor did not pay much attention to rewarding the speaker, and Emperor Xuanzong made a case of throwing money on the ground.

But Zhu Qizhen was at the door of the Wenhua Palace, personally sealed a red envelope, hidden a gift list, and handed it to them when he saw a person, saying: "Mr. is hard." ”

Several members of the cabinet did not dare to accept it calmly, so they naturally returned the salute one after another.

As for the other Hanlin, some were even so excited that they burst into tears.

For a time, the emperor's love for the virtuous and virtuous was spread in the city of Beijing. At this time, in the city of Beijing, there were many people from all over the world.

Naturally, they are among them, and the repercussions are profound.

Zhu Qizhen knew that after these people returned to their hometowns, Zhu Qizhen's good reputation naturally spread to all places.

This is a great benefit to Zhu Qizhen, who has no real power.

However, Zhu Qizhen thought that in the future, there would be two prayer feasts every month. The second and sixteenth days of each month. Zhu Qizhen felt that it was very troublesome. But Zhu Qizhen did not have the power to make rules, so he could only let it go.

It's just a daily drama twice a month.

For the rest of the day, the daily lectures also returned to normal.

In the afternoon, Zhu Qizhen had to ride a horse to the farmland every day.

I have to say that Ruan An is a good hand and never disappoints.

However, in just ten days, Ruan An opened more than 100 acres of land on the edge of the South China Sea, including paddy fields, dry fields, grains and vegetables, and some cash crops, such as cotton, mulberry hemp, jujube trees, persimmon trees, chestnuts and so on.

These were all common cash crops in the Ming Dynasty of China.

Even these trees have migrated from one tree to another. It is very well raised, and it bears fruit in the fall.

There are also waterwheels and canals that Zhu Qizhen wants, all of which are short and solid, and these crops naturally grow very well. After all, how many people are used in this hundred acres of land, Zhu Qizhen didn't ask, but he also knew that he often came to inspect here, and this place has been regarded as a beauty by the eunuchs in the palace, although he is tired, he can show his face in front of the emperor.

It's just that every time he comes, he takes Yu Qian back with him. And every time I walk here, I avoid the left and right, only Wang Zhen and Yu Qian are by my side.

Zhu Qizhen will ask Wang Zhen to take one or two letters and talk to Yu Qian.

However, it was more about asking Yu Qian if there were any cheats in it.

On this day, Zhu Qizhen let Yu Qian see that it was a matter of a northern captive to conquer Shandanwei and kill the commander.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Now that the north and the south are invading Japan, today is the loss of a commander, and tomorrow will not be a general military officer." Too much deception. ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that the current situation of the imperial court would not be able to fight a big battle.

But he was made big by the step-by-step attitude of the tile spur, and he even felt that it was not what he said at the court meeting that was slapped back by Tuohuan's backhand.

Yu Qian looked at it and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if Shandan Wei is lost, the court will definitely find the field, and Shandan Wei will raise horses." How can you allow Beiyu to peep, within this year, Lord Yang Rong will definitely make a move, please wait and see. ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned instead, and said, "Shandan Wei is a heavy land for raising horses? Is this true? ”

Yu Qian was stunned when he saw Zhu Qizhen, and hurriedly explained: "Shandanwei was an important place for raising horses in the Han Dynasty, although there was no horse farm in this dynasty, but Shandanwei itself had the important task of raising horses. ”

"A considerable part of the imperial court military horses are from the northwest, and the Shandan horse is the best."

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and said, "Damn. He glanced at Wang Zhen deeply.

When Wang Zhen saw it, he immediately knew why Zhu Qizhen was like this?

Because Wang Zhen never knew this.

This is the difference between Wang Zhen and Yu Qian.

Although Wang Zhen has also read books, he is in the palace all the year round, and he is very experienced in intrigue to curry favor with dignitaries and nobles, but in terms of government and politics, it is too much worse.

If it weren't for Yu Qian to say, Zhu Qizhen would only know that this is just a simple guard, a guard post has 5,600 people, although this guard post was conquered and the commander was killed in battle, this loss, Zhu Qizhen knows.

But Shandanwei is still a horse breeding ground for the imperial court.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know, he immediately understood that the most important thing was not the loss of people, but the loss of horses.

You don't need to look at it to know that it must have been ransacked, and even if it wasn't looted, it would be divided by the people below. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been reported up.

War horses have always been a strategic resource in ancient times. Zhu Qizhen didn't know how many horses Shandanwei had, but he knew that the horses lost by Shandanwei were probably more valuable than Shandanwei's own soldiers.

Zhu Qizhen said to Qian: "How many horses does Shandanwei raise? ”

Yu Qian said: "The minister doesn't know, the number of horses raised is a secret of the imperial court, and the minister said that he can know, I'm afraid he has to ask Lord Yang Rong." ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Yang Rong will definitely not let go of the Beiyu, I think that the loss of Shandan Wei must be a heavy loss, so I won't ask." However, Mr. Yu will tell me about the horse breeding land of Shandanwei. ”

Yu Qian said: "Yes." Speaking of Shandanwei, we have to say Huo Hussar. Huo Huqi defeated the Huns, seized the Huns Yanzhi Mountain, and made the Huns sad: Lose my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color. And Shandanwei is in the south of Qilian Mountain, and the Xiongnu horse breeding ground is also. ”

"In the Northern Wei Dynasty, horse breeding was extremely prosperous, it is said that there were two million horses, and there was a decline in later generations, and there were 70,000 horses in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly and said, "Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng." ”

There was some blood in his heart.

Because the Ma Zheng of the Ming Dynasty has become a bad government now, Yu Qian, as the most outstanding magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, often serves in Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi, and has already stated many disadvantages of Ma Zheng.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen understands what 10,000 horses mean, and it is the people's fat and people's ointment for 20,000 households.
