After talking about borrowing grain, Xiao Rui and Bai Suzhen chatted about other topics.

"You are much more mature than before, it may have something to do with starting a family, I heard that the two princesses are also pregnant, and it won't be long before I can be an aunt and grandmother, it's good!" Bai Suzhen looked happy.

Xiao Rui asked, "What about your marriage?" Do you have a crush on someone? When will you get married? ”

Bai Suzhen glanced at him and snorted: "You are a junior and still want to ask about the elders, you are not small." ”

"It's not a question, it's a concern, do I want to introduce you to one?" Xiao Rui remembered Xiao Yan's infatuation with her at the beginning, if she took Bai Suzhen to Tang Wangfu now, I don't know if Kong Xun'er and Nalan Yanran would tear Xiao Yan alive or skin them alive?

It must have been a wonderful scene.

Bai Suzhen sensed the conspiracy in Xiao Rui's smile, so he snorted: "You don't need to introduce me, just take care of yourself." ”

"Okay." Xiao Rui could only give up.

At this time, Bai Suzhen stood up and said, "It's not early, I'll avoid it first, the Zhang family's dinner is about to start." ”

"Let's dine together." Xiao Rui proposed.

Bai Suzhen shook his head and said, "No need, I basically don't eat at night." ”

She had made up her mind, so Xiao Rui didn't force it.

After the family banquet, Xiao Rui and Zhang Ruoxi returned to the palace.

The next day, Xiao Rui told His Majesty about borrowing grain, and His Majesty nodded after hearing it, even if it was not an uprising with borrowed grain, but to help the Qi State, this grain had to be borrowed. Your Majesty is also ashamed in her heart, after all, Ye Qianlan died in Great Xia, Your Majesty is sad, and her parents and family are even more sad, so they have to help each other.

After Bai Suzhen got the command to get food, he and the forbidden army left Beijing to go to Yanjing to get food, Xiao Rui wanted to send her but was stopped by her.

Bai Suzhen's arrival was just an episode, which caused a small wave in Xiao Rui's ordinary life, and then returned to calm.

Before I knew it, it had come to the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

His Majesty has sealed the pen, and Xiao Rui does not need to go to the Palace of Nourishing the Heart to learn government affairs, but His Majesty has given him the task, which is to let him think about the experience of the past year, reflect on his body three times a day, and review the experience at the end of the year, which will be of great benefit to the development of the next year.

This year is too exciting for Xiao Rui, entering the East Palace, crisscrossing the Qi Kingdom, killing Emperor Zhao, planting corn and potatoes in a large area, clearing the grain fields, and counting the granary... Any thing is wonderful to come up with, but there are also shortcomings.

If you want to govern a country well, you should not only look at the concerto, but also take one step at a time, look at three steps, and think twice.

Secondly, the emperor alone is tired to death, and he can't finish being busy, so he must learn to use people.

Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people.

Don't hesitate to do big things, determine the way of thinking, identify the direction, and go straight to work......

In the morning, Xiao Rui wrote five pieces of paper and benefited a lot.

It seems that you should develop a good habit of writing days!

After lunch at noon, I chatted and played cards with a few ladies, and before I knew it, it was evening.

As in previous years, the princes had to bring the princess into the palace to see the dinner and keep the New Year, because Zhuge Liuying was pregnant, His Majesty did not have to participate, so Xiao Rui attended the dinner by himself.

This year's New Year's banquet is different from previous years, because Xiao Rui became the crown prince, so after he came, the princes and princesses who came early got up and saluted.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although the princes were reluctant, they had to abide by the etiquette in the palace.

Xiao Rui returned with a family gift and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders today, they are all their own family, just feel free." ”

Jin King Xiao Lie didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Rui, and immediately glared at Yang Qing beside him. Yang Qing was aggrieved in her heart, and wanted to smile and say hello to the prince, but now it seems that it is better to forget it, in case of a smile, King Jin may have to go crazy again after returning to the house, saying that she is debauched and secretly sent autumn waves to the prince. The secret battle between the two these days has made her crazy, and when she is sad and desperate, she can only cry secretly. At the same time, I can't understand, how did King Jin become like this?

Duan Wang Xiao Feng and Xiao Jing also left after saluting, and Xiao Rui didn't speculate, not even half a sentence.

Xiao Ze, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan had a pleasant exchange with Xiao Rui.

Among them, Xiao Yan was the happiest, because Kong Xun'er gave birth to a daughter for him, so these days he jumped up and down excitedly, couldn't keep his mouth shut all day, and even ran to the East Palace to ask Xiao Rui for his daughter to ask for a meeting gift.

Xiao Rui looked at him pitiful, and heard that the two princesses strictly controlled his pocket money in order to prevent Xiao Yan from looking for flowers and willows, and the poor "Funny Emperor" powerhouse was in such a situation, which really made Xiao Rui sigh.

So he took out two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and sent him away.

After chatting for a long time, His Majesty led the harem concubines into the palace.

Everyone saluted and took their seats, and the New Year's feast officially began.

Queen Zhou Xiangyun was crazy, naturally she couldn't come to participate, it stands to reason that the position next to Her Majesty should be the turn of the imperial concubine Lin Yu'er, but Your Majesty did not do this, but was idle. Scale Literature

What's even more interesting is that after the banquet began, Emperor Xia waved his hand and asked Lan Concubine Ashikaga Yumi to sit beside him and pour wine for himself, which was the envy of others.

Looking at the smiling expression of the imperial concubine Lin Yu'er, Xiao Rui's heart blossomed.

After the New Year's banquet, His Majesty and the concubines withdrew, and several princes stayed behind to keep the New Year.

In this way, the twenty-fourth year of Yongli came.

The cheerful time is always fast, and the Lantern Festival has passed in a blink of an eye, and the imperial court has returned to normal order.

When the civil and military officials had not yet recovered from the atmosphere of the New Year, a bombshell news came out, which made the officials dumbfounded.

Shang Jin Shangshu Zhishi, who is also a scholar of the Ministry of Justice.

Shang Jin was frightened at this year, why, it was because when His Majesty gave him the word a few years ago, he wrote four words: "full of gold and jade"!

This is a good allegory, describing the tall hall, full of gold and jade treasures, and can also describe the wealth of knowledge. His Majesty gave these four words in recognition of himself.

However, after the word was given, Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet, specially accompanied Shang Jin out of the palace, and said with a smile: "Lord Shang, Your Majesty, these four words are good, you should cherish them and understand their true meaning." ”

Shang Jin was so smart that he immediately noticed that there was a problem, and it seemed that Li Shoufu had other intentions when he accompanied him, so Shang Jin asked: "Let Lord Li laugh, I am stupid, and ask Lord Li to enlighten me one or two." ”

Li Mingchong smiled and said, "Adults can check the allusions." ”

After Shang Jin returned home, he began to look up allusions about the golden and jade halls, so that the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was tasteless.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he finally turned to a book and saw a passage:

"The hall is full of gold and jade, Mo can keep it, rich and proud, self-forsaken, and the way to retreat from heaven is successful."

Holding the book, Shang Jin was stunned.

The meaning of this sentence is very straightforward, no one can keep wealth and pride, and it is natural to retire and no longer be an official after becoming famous.

After His Majesty got Yang Feiyuan out of the cabinet, he finally hinted to himself, but His Majesty also gave face, so that he could return to his hometown.

Shang Jin sighed for many days, although he was unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey the meaning of the saint, so he took the initiative to write to the minister.

His Majesty did not keep him, and allowed Shang Jin to return to his hometown, and gave him a lot of rewards and praises, which can be regarded as his benevolence and righteousness.

In less than two months, the two cabinet elders came out of the cabinet at the same time, and only the three cabinet elders were left with too heavy tasks to be busy, so His Majesty let Meng Tianhai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, be promoted to the secretary of the ministry and merged into the cabinet, and Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, entered the cabinet, and directly completed the candidates.

Meng Tianhai is the younger brother of Mrs. Meng Tiannan, the champion of the Xiaowen Emperor period, and later entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor, and then served as Langzhong and Shilang in the Ministry of Rites and Officials, and finally returned to the Hanlin Academy.

I didn't expect to become the secretary of the ministry and enter the cabinet now, which is beyond everyone's imagination.

First Song Yingxing, then Meng Tianhai, His Majesty's two moves were imaginative, so that the civil and military officials could not guess at the same time, they also understood His Majesty's intentions and warnings afterwards, and all the officials who were close to other princes relented, for fear of becoming the next target of resignation.

On the other hand, Xiao Rui let the junior college built by Zhan Shifu officially open, and the courses are divided into cultural courses and professional courses. The whole college is divided into six majors: farming, architecture, smelting, shipbuilding, manufacturing, and design, and the books of the Mohists and Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" are ready-made textbooks.

Xiao Rui personally went to the college to encourage students and teachers, and set up excellent scholarships and invention awards, which were rich and gratifying, which directly made the reputation of the college leap beyond that of China Literature Academy.

Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, this is just the beginning.

And just like that, the time entered February.

In the fourteen prefectures of Anxi, Jiedu made Zhang Liang give full play to his talents, and the land reform was in full swing.

Considerable land was rewarded to the soldiers of Great Xia, and eighty percent of the soldiers were willing to live in the fourteen states, and many unmarried soldiers married local women, which promoted the integration between the people of Great Xia and the old people of Zhao.

Secondly, many people in Daxia also look at the preferential policy of migration, willing to move into the 14 states, after the New Year has come, many people in barren areas have moved their families, the population has reached tens of thousands, and it continues to increase.

In addition, Xiao He's Huangtian Group began to make a big move, began to enclose land, nominally to buy land, in fact, on credit, His Majesty and the crown prince vigorously promoted this matter, and the household department did not dare to stop it, so they could only watch the Huangtian Group frantically enclose land in the fourteen states, and when Xiao Rui received Xiao He's spear falcon message, the fourteen branches of the Huangtian Group had enclosed 100,000 hectares of land, and owed tens of millions of silver to the Great Xia Imperial Court.

When the time enters March.

The potatoes planted a few years ago began to be harvested, and the Zhan Mansion began to get busy, and the people discovered the benefits of potatoes, not only had a great sense of satiety, but also had a rich yield, which immediately made the people realize the advantages of potatoes.

At the same time, Shen Wansan finally returned.

In mid-to-late March, Shen Wansan's fleet entered the river from Huzhou and finally returned to Kyoto in Great Xia.

Xiao Rui couldn't hold back his excitement for a long time, and immediately greeted him in person, the reason why Emperor Xia didn't go this time was, of course, because Xiao Rui didn't say it, last time was a lesson from the past, he lost millions of taels in vain, and now he feels distressed when he thinks about it.

This time the system didn't prompt, I don't know what good things Shen Wansan got it, I hope it's full of surprises!
