Chapter 914: Work hard to prosper the country
Luo Zhaoyun returned to the palace, and immediately sent someone to pass the word, summoned the commanders of Yanlang Pavilion and Qingyingwei, and asked the two to pay attention to the movement of Hu merchants purchasing grain in Chang'an's Fang City, whether they were buying grain for the grassland tribes and enemy countries in the Western Regions, or maliciously wanted to empty the grain reserves in Chang'an City.
Once there is a siege and the Turks attack, the price of food in the city will definitely soar, so it is necessary to guard against it.
After arranging this matter, Luo Zhaoyun began to rethink the problem of farming and private land, and the current yield per mu is indeed very low, because the agriculture of this era did not appear hybrid rice, high-yield seeds, etc., plus fertilizers, pesticides and other effects, so the yield per mu was several times less than that of later generations, or even ten times.
There is also the system of land, when the aristocracy is restricted to the annexation of land, otherwise, when the land gradually gathers to the big landlords and nobles, and the people have no land, the tax revenue is reduced, the state budget is in deficit, and the life and death of the people are dependent on the hands of the nobles.
"Need some agricultural and forestry talents, seeds, insect removal, farming, transplantation technology, etc., to conduct research, ancient scholars only care about doing splendid articles, poetry and songs, pragmatic enough, lack of hands-on ability, full of empty words, except for a few civil officials, most people in their own positions, are not capable enough."
Thinking of this, Luo Zhaoyun decided to establish an agriculture and forestry school and a medical school on the basis of Taixue Academy, and develop this highly professional category separately.
The establishment of local agricultural and forestry officials, gongcao, etc., so that the scholars can apply what they have learned, have small officials and officials to do, and can support one side of farming, so that the subtle influence can be effective.
Only from the perspective of the imperial court, we should really attach importance to agriculture, instead of shouting slogans and taking the people seriously, and the nobles still regard the people as untouchables in their hearts, and it is difficult to truly rejuvenate the country.
"Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!" Luo Zhaoyun wrote these eight big characters on the desk, and asked the little eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch to take them and frame them, and put them on the Qinzheng Hall when he turned around, so that the hundred officials could always see them and keep them in mind.
As for the implementation of the establishment of the Agriculture and Forestry College and the field system, in the afternoon of the same day, Luo Zhaoyun sent people to find Tongping Zhangshi, Shangshu, and Shilang from the Political Affairs Hall and the Household Department, and instructed them to do it.
After talking about state affairs, several ministers left from the imperial study, and Luo Zhaoyun received the surveillance information brought back by the Ouchi guards.
"Your Majesty, the purple-clothed woman in the Hu Shang Horse Team has been determined, she is indeed from Tuyuhun, the princess of Tuyuhun, Murong Ziyan!"
"Is it really her?" Luo Zhaoyun felt strange, how did this woman come to Chang'an City, could it be that something happened to Tuyuhun?
"Got it, bring more people and keep paying attention. Also, keep it safe! β
"Yes!" The captain of the guard bowed his hand and turned to leave.
Luo Zhaoyun groaned and paced, left the imperial study, and came to the dormitory of the harem.
Xue Zhiqing and Xiao Yiyi were listening to piano music in the stone pavilion of the palace, their abdomen was bulging, and they were about to give birth in two months.
When the second daughter saw His Majesty coming, she got up and saluted slightly, but was stopped by Luo Zhaoyun and said with a smile: "Two concubines, your body is inconvenient, so you don't need to be polite." β
"Your Majesty is done with political affairs."
"Well, today's review is over, come and accompany you." Luo Zhaoyun smiled kindly, and after sitting down, he glanced at it, and didn't see Yang Caiyu, who was also pregnant, and asked, "What about Queen Yang?" β
"The queen's biological mother and eldest sister are here and are visiting her dormitory."
"Oh, it's from my mother's family." Luo Zhaoyun smiled, thinking that he hadn't seen Yang Caiyu and Empress Xiao and her sister-in-law Princess Nanyang for a long time, so she should go over to say hello and visit Caiyu by the way.
"I'm going to visit Empress Yang and the distinguished guests."
"Your Majesty, please." Xue Zhiqing and Xiao Yiyi were noncommittal, and they also felt that Yu Li should be like this.
Luo Zhaoyun got up, kissed each of the two concubines on the face, and came to Queen Yang's bedroom.
Dahua Chuli, in order to take care of Caiyu's feelings, make some compensation, and win the support of the old ministers and scholars of the Great Sui, therefore, set up two queens, the eldest grandson of the East Empress Wurong and the West Empress Yang Caiyu, the former is the real power, and has jurisdiction over the important departments in the palace, Yang Caiyu is responsible for the Sancheng department, the power is much smaller, and the prince cannot inherit the unification, this queen is more of a false title.
"Your Majesty has arrivedβ"
Empress Yang, Xiao Shi, and Princess Nanyang in the palace were talking and chatting about some family life, and when they heard that His Majesty had arrived, they all got up to greet them.
When Luo Zhaoyun stepped in, he saw the three daughters with delicate appearances, graceful and luxurious, elegant temperament, just like the three sisters, even though Xiao Shi is in his forties, close to fifty, but the maintenance is excellent, and she looks like she is thirty-seven or eight, with a plump body, fat hips and a thin waist, but she still has the charm of a half-old.
Princess Nanyang is also one of the beauty in a million, knowledgeable, very talented, gentle and graceful, slender, slender shoulders and arms, smooth lines like water, green silk pulled a fallen horse bun, wearing a plain long skirt, the chest folds faintly appear in the chest delicate peaks, round and jade, like a ripe peach as tempting.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and my impression is a little vague, but when I see each other today, my eyes are bright, Luo Zhaoyun said: "No need to be polite, please sit down!" β
While speaking, Luo Zhaoyun stepped forward to help Yang Caiyu, who was pregnant, and walked back to Jindun to sit down, his face was full of tenderness.
"Queen, how is your body today, are you still comfortable?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, everything is fine." Yang Caiyu was born beautiful, she has been in love with Luo Zhaoyun since she was a girl, and now she has the crystallization of love, and she can be with each other day and night, this sense of happiness comes from the heart.
"Well, when I am in the palace, I will often come to visit you, and if you want to eat, just let the imperial dining room cook it for you."
"Hee-hee, got it, Your Majesty." Yang Caiyu was cared for by her husband, and in front of her mother and sister, she felt very face-saving and happy.
At this time, Luo Zhaoyun's eyes met Xiao Shi, and he also smiled and said, "I haven't seen Mrs. Xiao for a long time." β
Xiao is no longer the queen, it is not appropriate to call Queen Xiao, at that time Luo Zhaoyun planned to crown her as the queen mother, but Xiao was unwilling to be associated with the court anymore, and saw through the glory and wealth, the ups and downs of the temple, and the rise and fall of the dynasty, so he was willing to be an ordinary woman, and later Luo Zhaoyun had to seal the title of Mrs. Huaguo.
Xiao Shi faced Luo Zhaoyun's gaze, for some reason, he seemed to think of the beautiful misunderstanding of that night, he was tossed so much that he almost fell apart, his cheeks were slightly red, he forced his composure on the surface, and said lightly: "The mourning family wants to congratulate Your Majesty, pacify Hebei, eliminate Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other great enemies, and return triumphantly." β
