Zhang Junping accompanied Zhao Heng in, and he had already alarmed all the great Confucians and teachers in the academy, but he was stopped by the guards of the forbidden army and couldn't come.

can only watch Zhang Junping and the official family play right from afar, enviously and jealously, and secretly regret in his heart that he missed an opportunity to meet the official family and play the right game up close.

"Zhang Aiqing, do you know that the charter you invited to kill cattle is now scolded by the government and the opposition!"

Zhang Junping didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and was busy teaching the prince every day, cultivating younger brothers and sisters, and occasionally copying books, so he naturally didn't know what was going on outside.

However, Emperor Zhao Heng knew that after the decree allowing Lao Niu to be freely bought and sold and slaughtered, there was a lot of scolding in the government and the opposition, all of whom scolded Zhang Junping for being cruel and unkind, slandering and manipulating power, and bewitching the official family, and he was another big traitor after Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei.

There is even a royal history, Hanlin directly wrote a book, saying, the cow eats grass, how can it become a burden to the people?

The cow paid silently, worked hard for more than ten years, but did not get a good death when he was old, and was brutally killed and eaten meat, what an unkindness and injustice.

It is also clear that Zhang Junping just wanted to eat beef, so he made up the so-called lie that the people could not afford it.

For the last one, Zhao Hengzhi has some faith.

"Your Majesty, any decree will not be liked by everyone, and some people will naturally be supported by the benefits they have received, and some people will be opposed to it because of the damage to their interests! There is also a kind of person who likes to pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the cook!

Some people, after eating beef, praise a good fragrance, and then wipe their mouths, scolding Zhang Boan for being cruel and unkind, cattle are big animals, good helpers of farmers, how can they be so cruelly killed? It is really not a son of man!

For these, the minister is also helpless! can only let them say, as long as the people of the world get benefits because of this, the ministers will bear a little infamy, what can they do? Zhang Junping bowed and replied.

"Hahaha...... A good one picks up the bowl to eat, puts down the bowl and scolds the cook! Zhao Heng saw that Zhang Junping said something interesting, and let out a hearty smile.

After laughing, Zhao Heng asked with some concern: "I heard that the price of cattle in Kaifeng Mansion has increased by five yuan!" If the price of cattle continues to rise like this, will the people still buy cattle in the future? ”

"Your Majesty, there is really no need to worry about this, if you can't afford to buy a ploughing cow now, you can't afford it either!

Now the price is only for adult bulls, which is affected by bullfighting competitions, in fact, the price of calves has not increased!

The original cattle breeder could have sold the old cow and bought the calves! An old cow that can't work can now be sold for twelve or three dollars, while a five- or six-month-old calf only costs five or six dollars, and the calf can go to the field to plow or pull a cart as long as it is raised for half a year!

And between this sale and purchase, the cattle breeder can make a profit of six or seven yuan. This six or seven yuan, although it is not much, is enough for a family of four to live for a year! ”

"Alas! It's just that the people who couldn't afford to buy cattle are now even more unaffordable! Zhao Heng sighed.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and benevolent, and the minister reads the newspaper and finds that every prefecture and county has a kind of official loan to help farmers!

Last year, the Jinan government once organized personnel to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to buy cattle, and some of the people borrowed money from the government to buy cattle!

It can be seen that if the people really want to raise cattle, there is still a way, they can go to the government to borrow official loans!

In the past, the people were unwilling or afraid to borrow money to buy cattle because the burden of raising cattle was too heavy, but now it is different, His Majesty allowed the cattle of Lao Yuankou to be sold and slaughtered freely, which is equivalent to removing the worries of the people, and the price of adult cattle has risen, and the enthusiasm of the people to raise cattle will inevitably rise!

The people of the world, whether they are wealthy families or ordinary people, have had a habit since ancient times, that is, to buy up and not buy down!

The higher the price of cattle, the stronger the desire of the people to buy cattle! Zhang Junping slapped Zhao Heng on the back, and then slowly analyzed the pros and cons.

"Why is that?"

"One is panic, and the other is profit!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Heng pondered for a moment and nodded.

Zhao Heng is not the kind of person who has been living in the palace and does not know the four seasons, does not know the emperor of the five grains, Zhao Heng once served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, presided over disaster relief, and also knows a lot about ordinary people.

"In this way, I am relieved! As long as this decree does not harm farmers! Zhao Heng sighed.

In the final analysis, although Zhao Heng acted a little absurdly in his later years, especially after the Tanyuan Alliance. But throughout his life, Zhao Heng is still a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, and has made a lot of achievements.

Until now, Zhao Heng still thought that Zhang Junping had tossed so many things, all in order to make himself eat beef, so seeing the price increase of cultivated cattle, Zhao Heng was a little worried that the people could not afford to buy cultivated cattle, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

After Zhang Junping's analysis, Zhao Heng was relieved.

After half a month of recuperation, a glass of milk and honey every morning and evening, two taels of beef a day, and a dozen tai chi in the morning and evening, Zhao Heng feels that his body is much better now, and his nightmares and insomnia are also much better.

Rising yesterday, Zhao Heng, who had not been in the harem for a long time, also had a bumpy relationship with Queen Liu E, and when he got up in the morning, he didn't see the symptoms of soreness in his waist and knees.

This is also the reason why he believes in Zhang Junping's words.

"Zhang Aiqing, take me to visit the academy!" After solving the worries in his heart, Zhao Heng was interested in visiting the academy.

"It is an honor for the whole academy to be able to visit Your Majesty, and the students of the academy will definitely study harder, in order to be admitted to the Jinshi and be loyal to Your Majesty!" Zhang Junping hurriedly bowed down and invited Zhao Heng into the front yard.

Before, they had been standing at the door of the academy, playing in front of the front wall.

"Hahaha! I'm waiting for them in the Jiying Palace! Zhao Heng let out a hearty laugh.

It was already known that the official family went to the academy for private tours, and the great Confucian scholars of the academy, as well as those teaching gentlemen and students, all blushed with excitement.

However, Zhao Heng didn't summon them, and they could only stand far away, not daring to come over, and they couldn't come.

It was only then that Zhao Heng was in the mood to watch the academy.

The most eye-catching thing on the front wall is naturally the two words "country".

Equally striking under the country is his proud work, exhorting poetry.

Bypassing the front wall, there is a spacious courtyard, the ground is paved with neat bluestone slabs, dotted with a few green pines and plums.

Many short sentences are written on the snow-white walls.

"Young and unlearned, old and ignorant."

"An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time."

"If the jade is not cut, it will not be made; People don't learn, they don't know reason. ”

"The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white-headed party regrets studying late."

"If the young don't work hard, the boss will be sad."

"Zhang Aiqing, what is the purpose of these poems written on the wall?"

"Your Majesty, these poems were written by the ministers themselves!

In order to let the students see it all the time, always remind them to work hard! Be diligent! ”

"Good!" Zhao Heng said a good word.
