Chapter 321: Into Xianyang
On the first day of October, the Winter Clothes Festival.
From last year to this year, it seems that nothing has changed in Xianyang.
But only the princes and princes and civil and military officials who are above the court know that some things have begun to change.
This time, the eldest prince Fusu Gongzi was ordered by the first emperor to go to Nanyang in person, just for one thing, that is, to welcome back a person.
And this character, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Wang Ben, Meng Yi, Jiang Heng and other important ministers have already seen it, although they are young, they are extremely weird.
Everyone clearly remembered the two songs and dances they watched in Wancheng, everyone remembered the Taiyi Divine Thunder that fell from the clear sky more clearly, and everyone remembered even more that the young man gave the First Emperor a letter and a bag.
Although no one knows the contents of the letter and the contents of the bag, but since the first emperor returned from the tour, he has been silent in the deep palace for several days and has not been to the court, and a few days later, I heard that a group of warlocks in the palace have been expelled from the palace, and the first emperor after the return to the court, it looks slightly different from before, but what is the difference, but it is not clear.
The festival lasted for three hours.
After the end, the hundred officials and ministers returned to the court hall of Xianyang Palace as usual.
Qin Shi Huang sat on the dragon chair, wearing a black dragon robe and a jade crown, looking at the ministers sitting on both sides below, his face was calm and majestic, and he naturally had a domineering spirit looking down on the world.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are a little tired from today's sacrifice, if you don't have a report, you will go home to rest!" Qin Shi Huang's voice was as calm as ever.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" Zhisu Nei Shi Gaoteng stood up.
"Come on!" Qin Shi Huang nodded.
"This year's summer and autumn grain taxes have been fully collected, and a total of 39 million stone of tax grain has been collected in 36 counties across the country, because this year's new grain is nearly 20 percent more than last year, and many counties and counties have been unable to stack up grain, so I ask Your Majesty to allow the expansion ......of the boil warehouse, Chen Liucang and Xianyang warehouse, and at the same time set up a new Nanyang warehouse, the scale of which is at least 50,000 yuan, because Nanyang County's grain production has increased by 30 percent this year, and many tax grains are still piled up in the open air, and I am afraid that it will rot if it takes too long."
Gao Teng's words immediately caused a commotion in the court, and many ministers stood up and saluted together with joyful faces, "Your Majesty, the grain harvest is gratifying, and the establishment of the warehouse must be done as soon as possible!" ”
Qin Shi Huang also had a smile on his face, touched his beard and nodded, "This is indeed a thing worth celebrating, accurately, the matter of building and expanding the warehouse will be handed over to Gao Neishi, and the craftsmen selected by the craftsman Shaofu will complete it as soon as possible without delay!" ”
"Whoa!" Gao Teng and Ao Ping hurriedly bowed together.
"Gao Neishi, you seem to have something to say?" Qin Shi Huang looked at Gao Teng, who was still unsatisfied, and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has another happy event to report!"
"Okay, come on! What is the joy of hearing from me? Qin Shi Huang nodded comfortably.
"It's still a matter of taxes and grains, Nanyang County has enjoyed a bumper harvest this year, with an increase of three percent, but Nanyang's subordinate Pheasant County has a bumper yield increase of nearly fifty percent......"
"Wow~" Gao Teng didn't finish speaking, and the agitation above the court was even worse.
In such an era when food is king, food is everything, in previous years, food was stretched everywhere and not enough to distribute, this year the country actually enjoyed a bumper harvest increased by two percent, which solved many problems, and now there is an increase in income of fifty percent, everyone is excited.
"And ......" Gao Teng listened to the noisy voices of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and couldn't help but stop and sell a pass.
"Gao Neishi said quickly, what else?" Many ministers couldn't help but urge.
"There's one more piece of news, please sit tight and listen to ......"
"Hey, Gao Neishi come quickly, don't learn from that Zhou Youwang!"
"Yes, say it quickly, or I'll go to your house to play after a certain dynasty!" Nei Shi Qi Tang pointed at Gao Teng with the wat board in his hand and said with a smile.
Under the urging of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, looking at the look of anticipation with a smile on Qin Shi Huang's face, Gao Teng did not dare to continue to sell Guanzi, smiled and bowed around and said: "There is a township under Pheasant County, maybe everyone has heard of this place, and it is called Qinghe Town!" ”
"How's Qinghe Town?" At this time, even Qin Shi Huang asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, Qinghe Town's grain income in the summer and autumn this year has more than doubled, the average yield per mu of summer wheat is more than four stones, and the average yield of autumn grain per mu is also more than four stones, and I heard that there are experimental fields of improved varieties, with a yield of more than six stones per mu, and there are also experimental fields of intensive cultivation in Qinghe Town, with a yield of more than eight stones per mu......
"Eight stones!?" There was a burst of exclamation from the court, and everyone's faces showed disbelief.
"Gao Neishi, what is the experimental field?" After a burst of exclamation, the right minister Feng Qujian asked suspiciously.
"Yes, yes, Gao Neishi, what is the test field? How can it be so productive? "Many people came back to their senses and asked together.
"According to the detailed report of the Shoujiang Beiting of Nanyang County, the experimental field is the use of deep ploughing and accumulation of fertilizer submitted by Nanyang County last year, intensive cultivation of the field, plus the selection of good seeds, so there is such a high yield!"
"Your Majesty, it seems that this year's national production increase has a lot to do with last year's Quyuan plough and rake's deep ploughing and soil accumulation and manure, and it also proves that this method of intensive cultivation is indeed effective, and the minister suggested that His Majesty ordered that from this year onwards, the whole country will begin to promote the use of Quyuan plough and columbs on a large scale, and adopt the method of deep ploughing and fertilizer accumulation, so that if it lasts for a year or two, my Daqin grain will definitely multiply, and it will be able to completely alleviate the dilemma of food shortage today!" Feng Quji saluted to Qin Shi Huang and said.
"The minister seconded the proposal, and it is necessary to force this law to be promoted as a decree, so that local officials can strengthen supervision and force farmers to completely abandon the method of slash-and-burn farming!" At the same time, Li Si used his customary decree as a weapon.
"The ministers seconded it!" Above the main hall, a group of ministers hula la-la put on the top together.
"Quasi, the decree is entrusted to Li Xiang, and it must be spread to the world before the beginning of spring!"
"Whoa!" Li Si bowed.
"The craftsman is responsible for the implementation of new agricultural tools, and the production methods and atlases are spread to craftsmen from all over the country, and they must be stepped up to build."
"Whoa!" The craftsman made the Shaofu and ordered Ao Ping to receive the order.
"As soon as possible, the internal history of millet will be compiled into a book in detail about the methods of deep ploughing and accumulation of fertilizer, intensive cultivation, and optimal selection of improved seeds, and will be passed on to all counties, counties, towns and towns."
"Whoa!" Shi Gaoteng received the order.
"In the imperial history, the imperial history of the county supervisors must be strictly monitored for the implementation and promotion of officials in various places, and if there is any slackness, they will be strictly punished according to the law!"
"Whoa!" In the imperial history, Cheng received the order.
"Newspaper~~"
Just when the court discussion was warm, suddenly a black-clothed Xuanwu Wei ran directly into the door of the court hall with a gold medal and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Fusu has returned from Nanyang and has now arrived at Leyouyuan!" ”
Qin Shi Huang, who was issuing an order, stood up with a happy face, waved his sleeves and said, "All Aiqing will go out of the city with me to greet you!" ”
"Your Majesty, no!" Li Si and Zhao Gao and other important ministers hurriedly spoke out together to stop them.
"Why not?" Qin Shi Huang asked displeasedly.
"Your Majesty, how can there be a reason in the world for a father to welcome a son, this is contrary to human ethics!" Lees said loudly.
"Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is that the father welcomes the son, and it is unprecedented, please think twice!" Right Prime Minister Feng Qujian also said loudly.
"I am not to welcome Fusu, but to welcome Mr. Chen, you Aiqing don't need to say much, where is the servant?"
"The minister is here!" Zhao Gao hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Arrange the car quickly!"
"Whoa!" Zhao Gao hurriedly agreed.
At this time, fifty miles away from Xianyang, escorted by hundreds of carriages and horses, after more than ten days of trekking over mountains and mountains, Chen Xu finally followed the great prince Fusu to the vicinity of Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Emperor.
They are now stationed in a place called Le Youyuan for a short period of time, and at the same time arrange for the accompanying Xuanwu guards to enter Xianyang to report, such a large-scale army to enter Xianyang, even the prince can't, must first inform Qin Shi Huang, otherwise trespass into the capital, it is estimated that the prince can also be chopped.
Although it is already the early winter season, but the place of stopping is beautiful and picturesque, there is a huge natural lake next to it, the breeze is sparkling, the lake and the mountains reflect each other, countless palaces and buildings are built along the lake, the pavilions and pavilions are tortuous, in this bitter cold place in the northwest, there is a bit of Jiangnan scenery.
"Mr. Chen, the name of this lake is called Suizhou, this palace is called Yichun Courtyard, it is the place where my father and the emperor take refuge in the summer, and when you have time, Fusu can accompany Mr. to play!"
Dismounted, moved his legs, legs, muscles and bones and waited for the order from Xianyang, Fusu pointed to the lake in front of him, and the pavilions and pavilions along the coast, with a warm face, introduced the nearby scenery to Chen Xu.
Originally, when he went to Nanyang to meet Chen Xu this time, he didn't know who Chen Xu was when he set off or even on the way, so he was full of confusion when he received Qin Shihuang's order, so he privately inquired with Li Si and other ministers who traveled with Qin Shihuang, and was immediately full of interest in Chen Xu.
A fifteen-year-old boy, a figure who even his father and the emperor have to respect as a gentleman, is completely an enigmatic existence.
When leaving Xianyang, Qin Shi Huang specifically warned that no matter what happened, he must put down his royal identity and treat each other politely, and never collide.
Therefore, from the moment he arrived in Qinghe Town, Fusu asked the entourage to be cautious, and even the villagers in the town did not dare to shout loudly, for fear that something would go wrong, and he also gave up the honor guard to ride a horse to Xiaohe Village to greet him, which made all the entourage extremely puzzled.
After seeing Chen Xu himself, he turned out to be an ordinary mountain village boy, which made him a little disappointed, but on the way here, after more than ten days of communication, Chen Xu left a very deep impression on him, acting reasonably, speaking neither humble nor arrogant, especially some strange words and theories casually said, which made him have a feeling that he could not understand and accept at all, but it was full of novelty and fun, which made Fusu return all the way, and he no longer dared to have any contempt for Chen Xu.
"Newspaper~~"
In the distance, a fast horse galloped over, and the Xuanwu guard on horseback dismounted and reported on one knee: "Your Royal Highness Fusu, Your Majesty has an order to accompany Mr. Chen into Xianyang quickly!" ”
"Mr. Chen, please get in the car, it seems that my father can't wait to see Mr." Fu Su politely bowed his hand and asked Chen Xu to get into the car.
"Your Highness, please!" Chen Xu smiled and pedaled with Fusu, the two sat side by side, the luxury carriage drawn by four horses slowly set off, the forbidden army guarding also followed back and forth, Yu Wuya, Yingbu and Wang Wu and others followed at the end, talking and laughing together to Xianyang City.
