The emperor's private affairs have never been ordinary private affairs, especially the matter of accepting concubines, which is even more of a state affair. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Jinglun wants to accept a concubine, of course he is not a draft girl in the world, he is not Hong Xiuquan, he does not have such a strong desire for possession, and he does not have the outburst of emotions of the poor and rich.

The concubine he wants to accept has been decided a long time ago, and it is Gao Yuan, the sister of Gao Guanxian.

This matter has been delayed for four or five years, and it is raised almost every year, because there is a political force involved behind this matter, the Hakka forces in the Wuyi area, due to the early use of the Hakka force, the Hakka officers in the army accounted for nearly half, and it was a force that Zhu Jinglun could not help but stabilize.

When he agreed to accept Gao Yuan as a concubine, he had to accept it in order to get the support of the Hakka people, just like marrying Zhang Rou to stabilize Zhang Qianshan, it was a political transaction.

But in the following years, Zhu Jinglun can be said to have failed to abide by the transaction.

In the first year or two, the Hakka officials headed by Zhang Baoming did not urge for a year, or even a month, they needed a Hakka woman by Zhu Jinglun's side, and the Hakka people at that time were in danger, and they needed to find a protector for themselves.

But now that the crisis of the Hakka people has passed, the Tukka weapon fight has completely subsided, and they have no pressure to survive, but they are more eager for a Hakka to become Zhu Jinglun's woman, because Zhu Jinglun's identity is also unusual, and Zhu Jinglun is the emperor.

But the strange thing is that except for the first year or two of their desperate urging, then they were not in a hurry, that is, they generally mentioned it every year, and their attitude was not firm, so things dragged on. But suddenly, this year, the Hakka forces once again concentrated on writing to Zhu Jinglun, asking Zhu Jinglun to take a concubine.

The reason is very simple, in the first two years of marriage, the Hakka people themselves have a strong sense of crisis; But when the British and French forces attacked Beijing, especially after Zhu Jinglun set up the army and pulled the flag to rebel, they were not in a hurry. Because at that time, not to mention that their sense of crisis was lifted, they also saw the hope that Zhu Jinglun would really become the emperor.

Marrying a Hakka daughter to a separatist prince is completely different from marrying an emperor, so in the next few years, although the Hakka forces mentioned it every year, they are not in a hurry, they are waiting, waiting for the day when Zhu Jinglun will really ascend the throne.

At the end of last year, Zhu Jinglun ascended the throne and became the emperor, and he was enthroned in the Temple of Heaven by capturing the remnants of the Northern Empire, which not only made the Ming State publicly established, but also instantly made all the people have firm confidence, everyone thinks that the country is very strong and will not be destroyed.

At this time, the Hakka forces felt that the time was ripe, and began to intensively urge Zhu Jinglun to take a concubine, before Zhu Jinglun married a Hakka daughter, it was a concubine, but the current emperor married a Hakka daughter, at least a concubine, not at this time, let alone when.

The Hakka forces have also won quite a lot of support, and many ministers of different factions support them, especially the Ministry of Rites, they are worried that Zhu Jinglun's current only concubine, Zhang Rou, will not be able to give birth at all, otherwise they will not give birth to a son and a half daughter for so many years, they not only support Zhu Jinglun to marry Gao Yuan, in fact, they support whoever Zhu Jinglun marries, it is best to marry a stout woman with a rural ass and fertility.

Of course, there are also opponents, and the other side of the Tuke fight, the Guangfu people, is opposed, but in the face of a general trend that the emperor needs an heir, they are really not good to oppose openly, but they did a bad favor at this time, they desperately urged Zhu Jinglun to draft a draft girl, and they hoped to use a large number of native daughters to dilute the impact of Hakka daughters entering the palace on the native people.

When his family affairs become a political game, Zhu Jinglun has little room to choose.

What's more, he didn't think about not admitting his promise at all, when he needed the Hakka family, he promised to marry the sister of a high-ranking official, and now that he has a solid foundation, he kicked people away, which is not his principle of life. The most fundamental reason why he never married Gao Yuan was because he felt that Gao Yuan was too young, and when the marriage was decided, Gao Yuan was only thirteen years old.

But five years have passed, and now Gao Yuan is eighteen years old, although Zhu Jinglun still thinks that she is a little girl, but she is already a very big girl in this era, and she can't marry if she doesn't marry, he can imagine that this little girl is under great pressure at this time, and he can't help but think about other girls.

Coupled with the increasing pressure on him to draft, Zhu Jinglun immediately agreed to the appeal of the Hakka forces, and he decided to marry Gao Yuan this year and instructed the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day.

After dealing with these public and private affairs, Zhu Jinglun basically left no authority in his hands.

There are not many things that need to be personally responsible, and there is immediately more leisure time.

At this time, Zhu Jinglun made a surprising behavior, and he began to farm.

Cultivating land in the palace.

The Liangguang Governor's Palace, which was razed to the ground in the Opium War, was never restored in its original history, and was finally forcibly occupied by foreigners to make a church.

Zhu Jinglun has always taken a cautious attitude towards the spread of Western religions, and only allowed foreigners to preach at the ports and did not allow them to enter the interior. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was not as absurd as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was impossible for the Governor's Mansion to be taken away by foreigners.

Therefore, after Zhu Jinglun ascended the throne, he chose this place as the palace, but due to the shortage of funds, Zhu Jinglun opposed extravagance and waste, and only planned to repair it, but before it could be repaired, Zhu Jinglun's mind changed.

As soon as the ruins were cleared, he couldn't wait to move in, and gave up the yamen of the governor of Guangzhou to the Guangdong provincial government, which was nervous. Although the Governor's Palace was destroyed, not all the houses collapsed, and after the cleanup, more than ten intact houses were left, and Zhu Jinglun occupied three of them, one as a bedroom, one as a kitchen, and the remaining one as a living room. The other rooms were given to the guards, who were the emperor and had several thousand guards, and the number of guards alone could not be less than three hundred.

The area of the Governor's Palace is still there, it occupies two hundred acres, directly from the new city wall to the old city wall, and the north and south sides are close to the moat, especially the moat of the old city, which is even encompassed by the governor's palace. In the past, the water from the river was brought into the Governor's Palace, adding interest to the Governor's rockery garden, but now that the aqueduct has been dug again, Zhu Jinglun decided to use the water for farming.

Zhu Jinglun is no stranger to farming, his grandmother's family is in the countryside, and he went back to do farm work every year when he was a child.

His body is also strong enough, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is no problem for one person to top four strong men.

He did it himself, refused the help of the guards, and within a few days he reclaimed ten acres of land, and he couldn't do it himself, this kind of professional thing, he had to invite craftsmen to come, and several hired craftsmen helped to build the aqueduct and install the overturned car, and Zhu Jinglun could introduce the flowing water into his field by stepping on the overturned car.

Some of the guards are also farmers, and they are also experts in farming, but they found that Zhu Jinglun farmed, unlike them, they knew how to plant seedlings without seedlings, but the soil in which Zhu Jinglun raised seedlings was exceptionally thick, and the seedlings grew larger, even faster than the time of transplanting.

Only then did they realize that their emperor did not plan to plant seedlings, but loaded truckloads of seedlings into the field and threw them directly into the fields.

Isn't this a waste of crops, at the first time, many soldiers had such thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, and even felt guilty to think about it like this, the sense of sacredness of imperial power in their hearts was very strong, especially staying with someone like Zhu Jinglun for a long time, that had a strong impact, and it was not good to say that the natural atmosphere on Zhu Jinglun's body was very able to win people's hearts.

They didn't know that it was called seedling throwing, which only started in the 1950s and only began to mature in the 70s.

Zhu Jinglun happened to have done such a thing.

The next thing made the guards feel even more bizarre, because they saw that the seedlings were alive one by one, not to mention, Zhu Jinglun then bought some small fish fry and put them in, which is nothing, although everyone has never heard of fish farming in the rice field, but the fish are in the water, and they usually can't see it, so they are not surprised.

But Zhu Jinglun also put some ducks in other fields, some duckling fry that hatched for a few days, the fish are in the water and no matter how you look at the fish, there are no teeth, but ducks have mouths, and the most important thing is that everyone knows that ducks eat grass, what should they do if they eat rice seedlings?

At this time, there were even soldiers who suddenly realized that the emperor dared to plant crops just to raise ducks, no wonder the emperor was idle and had nothing to do to get these acres of land.

To their surprise, as the rice seedlings and ducks grew day by day, the two creatures always coexisted peacefully.

And Zhu Jinglun also took a family, mainly his wife Zhang Rou and the girl Yinhuan, and did many unbelievable things, such as Zhu Jinglun used the experience of later generations to let Yinhuan shake the copper bell while feeding the ducks every day, and over time, as long as the copper bell was shaken, the ducks that were still playing in the rice field quacked and flew to the duck house.

The soldiers, who did not understand the principle of this biological symbiosis at all, saw it surprisingly, they really couldn't explain the situation, and privately discussed that the emperor's ducks were human and knew how not to eat seedlings.

In fact, it is not known when this symbiotic principle was discovered, in short, it was not early, at least not before the Republic of China, and it was only popularized after the reform and opening up.

The reason is that ducks do not eat rice seedlings, green seedlings are also on the duck's diet, but the row is relatively backward, only in the case of no insects to eat, no grass to eat, ducks will eat rice seedlings, so an acre of land can not be stocked too many ducks, an acre of land to raise a dozen or so is the limit, too many insects in the sky are not enough ducks to eat, they will scourge the seedlings, this specific ratio, it is impossible to find out without testing, so in old China was not groped out by the people.

But the people of this era were still relatively superstitious, and the soldiers' statements soon spread out, and there was a lot of discussion in the market.

It wasn't until many high-ranking officials visited the emperor under the pretext of visiting the emperor that Zhu Jinglun discovered this problem, and at this time the rice seedlings had grown to more than a foot high. (To be continued.) )
