Chapter 199 Yincheng County Male
In the small flower hall of Qinglanxuan, Zhao Zhen was waiting with anticrative anticrative anticipation to enjoy the whole potato feast. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Novels.2
Qing Lanxuan's temporary little chef Zheng Xiaohe introduced to Zhao Zhen: "Official's house, this is potato stewed brisket, this dish is potato steamed fat sausage, this dish is potato roasted short ribs, this dish is vinegared shredded potatoes, this is the staple potato quiche and sweet potato porridge." These two dishes are sweet potatoes made of sweet potatoes, glazed sweet potatoes and honey sweet potatoes. The slave family's craftsmanship is vulgar, and the time is too tight, so I only did this, and I hope the official family will forgive me! ”
Zhao Zhen looked at this simple dish with anticipation, without the slightest dislike for simplicity, and lifted the jade chopsticks from the potato stewed beef brisket, picked up a piece of potato and sent it to his mouth.
The stewed potatoes are very glutinous, and they absorb the taste of beef brisket, which is very good, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but praise: "Good, good!" ”
When Zhao Jin heard his father's praise, he couldn't help but hurriedly pick up the jade chopstick, put a piece of honey sweet potato in his mouth, chewed it again and again, and couldn't help but say: "Well, it's really delicious!" ”
"This rare thing is indeed quite delicious, Daddy is happy today, is it because of these two rare foods?"
"yes!" Zhao Zhen tasted another piece of glazed sweet potato. This sweet potato is soft and sweet in the mouth, and it is also a very good food, so I can't help but feel satisfied.
"Why? Although this thing is delicious, there is no shortage of rare things in our palace to pay tribute all the time, why would Daddy be so happy just for this unstunning-looking potato and sweet potato?! ”
Zhao Zhen picked up the glass cup full of grape wine in front of him, took a sip, and said happily: "Haha, there is a reason for this." Jin'er, do you know how much these two crops yield per mu? ”
Zhao Jin was born in the deep palace, and it was rare to have a few opportunities to leave the palace, so he naturally had no specific concept of this grain production. However, she saw that her father was rarely so happy, so she wanted to praise her more to make her father even happier, and at the moment Zhao Jin looked very curious and asked, "Are these two crops very productive?" ”
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Of course it's big, and it's very big, more than five times the yield per mu of rice and wheat!" Do you say the yield is large? ”
Seeing that his father was so happy, Zhao Jin couldn't help but empathize, and said with a smile: "Ah, there are so many, then this is really a treasure!" ”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "The flag is a treasure, this is simply my Great Song Xiangrui, if these two crops are promoted and planted, my Great Song Dynasty will no longer have to worry about hunger!" In fact, Zhao Zhen wanted to say: This is the real auspiciousness, compared to the "Book of Heaven", "Shuangsuihe", and "Luoshu Turtle Shell" in the first emperor's dynasty, I really don't know how many times stronger.
Zhao Jin couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "That's really my God bless my Great Song, this must be the auspicious rui that my father moved the heavens and specially descended!" ”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This is not something auspicious from God, Daddy doesn't believe in those ethereal things!" This is a young genius dedication, to talk about the credit, but also the credit of this talent! ”
Speaking of Zhong Hao, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zheng Xiaohe, who was waiting next to him, and asked her about Zhong Hao.
Zheng Xiaohe also admired this young village owner who changed the fate of the Pingxi Army.
In her eyes, this young village owner, who is not a few years older than herself, is simply an omnipotent existence. Brewing wine, stir-frying, fire ~ medicine, steelmaking, fighting, making money, etc., there is basically nothing he doesn't understand. Moreover, this rosary village master is literary ~ flowing, and he looks personable. In the eyes of the girls in the village, the owner of the village is simply the best appearance of Prince Charming in their hearts. When Zheng Xiaohe was in Jingqiang Village, she was most envious of her sister Ke Yao, who could get along with the owner of the village day and night.
Zheng Xiaohe was naturally full of praise when he talked about Zhong Hao.
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but be more impressed by Zhong Hao.
Zhao Jin was listening, and couldn't help but be very interested in the Zhongzhai master in Zheng Xiaohe's mouth. When Zheng Xiaohe answered Zhao Zhen's questions about Zhong Hao, Zhao Jin also asked some interesting questions curiously beside him.
A young and young talent, who also knows so many miscellaneous arts, is really a curious person. This matter of Zhong Hao, for a princess like Zhao Jin who has lived in the Forbidden Palace for a long time, can be completely listened to as a script.
But don't be in a hurry to listen to the story, Zhao Jin has already said hello to his father, this Zheng Xiaohe wants to stay in Qinglanxuan as a maid, and by the way, she will also be a cook, and she can find Zheng Xiaohe at any time to listen to Zhong Hao's story in the future.
The reason why Zhao Jin left Zheng Xiaohe in Qinglanxuan was very important because he wanted to listen to more stories about her outside the palace. Of course, with this all-potato banquet made by Zheng Xiaohe, it is estimated that my father can come to Qinglanxuan a few more times recently, which is also an important reason why she wants to keep Zheng Xiaohe in Qinglanxuan.
Zhao Zhen saw that his daughter was quite interested in Zhong Hao, and couldn't help but suddenly think of the recent fact that he was looking for a horse for his daughter. If this is called Zhong Haocai's concubine, it is quite good, not only talented, but also capable.
Of course, Zhao Zhen just thought about it casually. He also knew that in the Great Song Dynasty, anyone with a little ability, especially literati, would definitely not be a princess.
The concubines of the Great Song Dynasty were generally selected from the disciples of the generals or the relatives of the emperor, and it was impossible for a literati with some skills to do this concubine.
The Great Song Dynasty concubine could not serve as a real official, so he could only lead an idle life. Da Song Fan has some ability, but he is not willing to be able to be this colt, except for those who want to live without dignity and dignity, and just want to eat and wait for death.
And at this time, the code of ethics is often an era when patriarchy is greater than husband's power, so the princess's status in her husband's family after marriage is extremely high, and her in-laws have to salute the princess. In order to maintain the princess's esteemed status, the usual practice of the Great Song Dynasty was to promote the horse. That is to say, once the horse marries the princess, the horse will be promoted to the same generation as his father and uncle. Father and son have become brothers, which is naturally embarrassing and abnormal. Therefore, no one who has a backbone will be this colt. The literati often attach more importance to this ethical outline, and they will not be this colt!
Therefore, Zhao Zhen also just thought about recruiting Zhong Hao as his son-in-law. He also knew that under the existing circumstances, Zhong Hao would definitely not agree. Although he is the king of a country, he can not do anything arbitrarily in the Great Song Dynasty.
However, Zhao Zhen felt that his daughter's husband must choose well. He didn't want to easily choose one of those gentlemen and match his beloved daughter as a colt. After all, I have this daughter now.
In fact, Zhao Zhen planned to wait for his beloved daughter to reach the year of peach and plum, hold a grand canonization ceremony for her, and choose a satisfactory husband for her. Of course, my beloved daughter has just arrived in the age of Jilu, and there are still several years before the peach and plum years, so there is no need to be too anxious about picking a husband, and there is still time to choose it well.
Although some things are not so easy to do, Zhao Zhen feels that he still has to fight for more things for his daughter and future son-in-law.
………………
The government hall rewarded Zhong Hao, who offered potatoes and sweet potatoes, two high-yield crops, with the title of baron of Yincheng County.
Zhao Zhen was very dissatisfied with this decision of the Political Affairs Hall, and it was really not enough to reward him for his contribution to the sacrifice of potatoes and sweet potatoes for such a great achievement.
Zhao Zhen picked up the red pen and added the Xuande Lang Sanguan reward to Zhong Hao on the document of awarding Zhong Hao to the political affairs hall.
Zhao Zhen originally wanted to directly give Zhong Hao a higher title and official position. But when I put pen to paper, I thought about it and felt that it was not necessarily a good thing for Zhong Hao to be crowned with too high a knighthood at such a young age, but it was just a loose official of Xuandelang.
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty court pay the most attention to their background and qualifications, and they like to rank their seniority the most, if Zhong Hao is in a high position at a young age, he must be jealous, and it may not be a good thing for him. And even if he wants to add a high-ranking official to Zhong Hao, I am afraid that those ministers in the Political Affairs Hall and the Imperial History Observatory will definitely find such and such reasons to obstruct it. In their eyes, I am afraid that it is not much credit to offer a high-yield food crop, and it is already very good to give a founding baron his opinion of asking for a heavy reward.
In the eyes of those scholars, only by writing a beautiful article and doing a good job of poetry can they really have the ability. The Jinshi of Donghuamen's roll call can be awarded a good knight and become a high-ranking official.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen finally just added a seventh-grade Xuande Lang official to Zhong Hao. Zhong Hao turned out to be the eighth grade of the undertaker, and this time Xuande Lang, who was awarded the seventh grade, has crossed the Chaosan Lang from the seventh grade. And from the seven products under the Xuanlang Lang.
The general civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were surveyed every three years. If this is a step-by-step promotion, it will take at least two times to be promoted from undertaker to Xuandelang, and it will take six years of hard work. Zhong Hao was directly promoted from Chengshilang to Xuandelang, which is not a small promotion.
This time, Zhao Zhen just promoted Zhong Hao to two levels of loose officials, and I believe that those ministers in the political hall will definitely not compete with him as an official for these trivial things.
Zhao Zhen felt that with Zhong Hao's talent, it was estimated that he would definitely be able to succeed in next year's scientific examination. After he won the jinshi, there would be no resistance to rewarding him more. Now, if he is offered potatoes and sweet potatoes and rewarded with a big reward, it will make people think that he is fortunate to be in, not from the right path, and is rejected by civil officials.
………………
When Zhong Hao received his edict, it was already early August. At this time, Zhong Hao had just led the soldiers and civilians in Jingqiang Village to finish the autumn harvest.
Zhong Hao is still very satisfied with the results of his knighthood of Yincheng County and the addition of official Xuandelang.
Looking at his scarlet uniform of the man in Yincheng County, Zhong Hao felt that he was finally going to get what he wanted. With this scarlet robe, I can finally marry a daughter-in-law, which is not easy.
Of course, Zhong Hao is also very happy about his official promotion to Xuandelang, although the dispatch and authority have not been promoted, but the rank of the scattered official has gone up, and there are always more of them.
In any case, these potatoes and sweet potatoes have been cultivated and planted as treasures for several years, and they have finally received a little reward, and they have fulfilled their wishes, and their hard work has not been in vain.
Although the title is low, it is also a knighthood, and he will be a lord in the future. There are less than 500 households in this Yincheng County, and there are only 300 households in this Yincheng County, so it seems that he is already the boss in this Yincheng County! Of course, Zhong Hao is just casually~ lewd, he doesn't have any actual administrative power over his three hundred households in Yincheng County.
Yang Huaiyu returned to Linzhou this time, and heard that Zhong Hao had been knighted, so he came to congratulate him, and brought bad news by the way.
At the end of July, Yang Jin, a pacification envoy and thief of the Guangnan East and West Road, was defeated by Nong Zhigao!
Although Yang Wenguang sent a letter, telling Yang Jin to be cautious and not to seek no success, but to seek no fault, and before integrating the army in Lingnan, try to focus on the strong wall and clear the wilderness. However, Yang Jin couldn't withstand the repeated urging of the official family and the imperial court, and hastily attacked with the official army of the two routes in Guangnan, which was far from being integrated, and fought a decisive battle with Nong Zhigao's army.
As a result, Du Zhong, the ruler of the Guangnan West Road, and Jiang Kai, the two highest military generals of the Guangnan East and West Road, were successively killed by Nong Zhigao's army, and their troops were also defeated. Subsequently, Li Gui, the inspection envoy of Gui, Yi and Liuzhou, who took the initiative to attack, was also defeated by Nong Zhigao's army, and Yang Ji had to lead his troops to retreat to Guizhou, and the Guangnan two roads were completely controlled by Nong Zhigao's army.
Now Yang Ji has been removed from his post by the official family and is waiting for the imperial court to investigate.
This time, I am afraid that the Western Army will really be transferred to quell the rebellion, and if the Western Army is not allowed to go south, I am afraid that the two roads in Guangnan will no longer be the land of the Great Song Dynasty!
Although Yang Huaiyu's wish to go south this time is afraid that it will really come true, Yang Huaiyu's mood can't get better!
After all, Yang Jin is a member of the Yang family, and they are all in a loss-making relationship. This cousin, who is responsible for boosting the lintel of the Yang family, after this battle, I am afraid that his career will not be so bright in the future. And the prestige of the Yang family, I'm afraid it will also plummet.
"Zhong Rong, don't be discouraged, although Yang Wenshuai is frustrated, you and Uncle Shi should cheer up even more. When the time comes, going south and playing the demeanor of the Yang family generals will definitely make the lintel of the Yang family revitalize! But having said that, Zhong Hao remembered that Yang Wenguang, as the vanguard of the Western Army's southward movement, seemed to have been thwarted by Nong Zhigao's army, and it was not until Di Qing led the main force of the Western Army that Nong Zhigao's army was defeated and regained the initiative in the Lingnan war.
Of course, although Zhong Hao has a deep study of Song culture, he does not deliberately understand these historical details. Where was Yang Wenguang blocked by Nong Zhigao's army? To what extent has it been frustrated? Zhong Hao didn't know.
Zhong Hao is going to follow Yang Wenguang south this time, but he has to think carefully about how to avoid this failure!
"Ah, what the eldest brother said is reasonable. Then I should have taken care of the rebellion with my father! ”
"Well, there is Uncle Yang Shi and our Western Army, and those Nanban are not enough to see!"
"Haha, Lord Zhong is right!" Yang Huaiyu was told by Zhong Hao, and after thinking about it, he was not so worried, and even had leisure and nonsense with Zhong Hao.
His cousin Yang Jin is a civil official from Jinshi, and although he was defeated this time, he is afraid that he will not be punished too heavily. Xia Zhu was defeated in Haoshuichuan that year, and he only won the first level of office, and he was known to Qinzhou, and he was soon reinstated. The defeat of his cousin was far less than the shock caused by the defeat in the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and there may not be multiple punishments.
In the Great Song Dynasty, civil officials have this privilege, if the military generals are defeated, they may lose their heads, but the heaviest punishment for civil officials is to be taken away!
Although his cousin was defeated, if his father went south and made great contributions, he could still revive the lintel of the Yang family. Yang Huaiyu is not a person who likes to feel nostalgic, and if he wants to open it, there is nothing left!
"Haha, this lord has a lot of skills, you will see them one by one in the future!" Zhong Hao enjoyed the feeling of being called a lord. (To be continued.) )
