No. 265 Garden Talk
Mid-Autumn Festival in August, chrysanthemums are all over the ground, as the imperial garden of the palace, it is concentrated to persuade all the precious varieties in the world, if in the outside world, such a place may become a holy place to appreciate chrysanthemums, but for the nobles in the palace, this is just a pastime for the eyes in leisure time.

It's just that since the beginning of the year, the entire Tang Dynasty has not had a day of peace, which has also caused the people in the palace to be silent, for fear of disturbing the troubled nobles.
But today is different, the imperial garden, which has been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively, and the palace maids and eunuchs have been running back and forth, the reason why this is so is because when today's queen mother, Wu Zetian, who controls the actual power of the court, is enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden.
"Di Aiqing, of course, you proposed the idea of moving the victims south above the court, but Pei Yan reprimanded you, but this palace did not stand up for you, have you ever complained about this palace in your heart." Looking at the small chrysanthemums in front of him, connected into one piece, which was extremely spectacular, Wu Zetian stopped and asked a minister beside him.
"How dare Weichen complain about Niangniang, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, besides, what Pei Shi said also has a certain truth, Niangniang is difficult to choose for a while, but it is human nature." Di Renjie, who was following closely behind Wu Zetian, hurriedly bowed and saluted.
As if he was quite satisfied with Di Renjie's answer, Wu Zetian said with a smile on his face, "This palace knows that Di Aiqing is a talented person with a lot of ideas, and these things must be able to figure it out, in fact, this palace also quite approves of Di Aiqing's methods, but Pei Yan, a stubborn old man, for his own selfishness, wants to make a hindrance from it, which is really hateful, I don't know what Di Aiqing has to solve this." ”
Although Wu Zetian looked at the sea of flowers and said, Di Renjie knew that Wu Zetian was paying attention to herself, and she would know everything about her small movements.
After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Di Renjie replied, "Qi Yu Niangniang, in fact, the points mentioned by Pei Shizhong in the court are not difficult to solve, and compared with the method of solving the food of the victims, it is not worth mentioning, but the most important thing is that Pei Shizhong will definitely not agree with this method, as long as he does not agree, even if we solve the points he raised, he will definitely find other reasons, so if you want to make the method implement smoothly, you can only let Pei Shizhong agree." ”
"Oh, Di Aiqing has a way to persuade Pei Yan to agree." As soon as Di Renjie's words were spoken, Wu Zetian's fierce expression was shocked, and he thought of a possibility.
"Wechen is not sure, it can only be said that it is a slight eyebrow, in fact, this method was not Wechen's idea at first, but the idea of Wechen's unsuccessful student, at first Wechen also felt that this matter was too ridiculous, but after careful consideration, this method is still relatively good compared to starving hundreds of thousands of victims to death." Di Renjie replied.
"Hahaha, Di Aiqing is a cautious person, since you said that you have a certain eyebrow, then it is already eight or nine to ten, your student, is Duan Jian's kid, speaking of which, I haven't seen him for half a year, when he was in Chang'an City, he caused trouble all day long, this time of leaving this time, this palace really misses him a little, tell this palace, how Di Aiqing is going to persuade Pei Yan, you must know that old man, but he is a very stubborn person." Wu Zetian laughed.
"Weichen takes the order, in fact, this matter is very simple, the thing is like this..........."
With Di Renjie's explanation, Wu Zetian finally understood what happened, it turned out that Duan Jian's plan to turn the land south of the Yangtze River into another important granary of the Tang Dynasty was very secretive, but he didn't tell everyone, but wrote to tell Di Renjie, in addition to the relationship with Di Renjie, the most important thing is to let Di Renjie be his backer in the court.
At the beginning, when he heard Duan Jian's thoughts, Di Renjie also felt incredible, what three seasons a year, twenty times the yield, Di Renjie didn't believe it, but Duan Jian made the matter of 'Zhancheng Rice' clear in the letter, not like a fraud, besides, Duan Jian didn't need to write a letter to deceive him for fun.
In the end, Di Renjie also endured the discomfort in his heart, and chose to believe in Duan Jian, since he believed it, then he had to pay something, Duan Jian in the letter in addition to explaining to him the matter of 'Zhancheng Rice', he also put forward his own plan, throughout the ages, all plans, especially the bigger plan, are closely related to manpower, even when there are many machines in later generations, those machines also need human hands to operate, let alone in ancient times more than a thousand years ago.
If you want to build Jiangnan into a country's granary, it is impossible to accomplish without enough population, and even after so many years of development, Jiangnan is still sparsely populated, and even many counties have a population of only a few thousand, compared with the northern land, it does seem like a wild land.
Even in a well-known place like Hangzhou, it is also vast and sparsely populated, so Duan Jian begged Di Renjie in the letter to let him go away, and let the Criminal Department send orders to all places, if there are any more prisoners who need to be allocated, they will all be assigned to Qiantang County to open up the wasteland for Duan Jian.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the letter, Di Renjie happened to encounter the problem of disaster relief in the court, seeing that the victims had no food and were about to starve to death, Di Renjie had an idea, and thought of this method, replacing the prisoners with the disaster victims, and going to the south to open up the wasteland, if Duan Jian succeeded, it would not only be him who would get the benefits, but the entire Tang Dynasty could also get the benefits, as for the failure, there was nothing, it was just a hard work, besides, it also saved the lives of those disaster victims.
"Three seasons a year, or 20 times the output, this ...... This..... The 'Zhancheng Rice' in Aiqing's mouth is not a natural immortal grass, there is really such a fairy in this world, how does this palace feel like listening to a legend. Hearing Di Renjie's words, Wu Zetian said with surprise on his face.
No wonder Wu Zetian was so surprised, as a qualified ruler, the most important thing is to understand the people's livelihood events, and food is the most important people's livelihood event in the world, since the three emperors and five emperors discovered the five grains, the rulers of the dynasties are all looking for crops that can increase production, but thousands of years down, although there is a small progress, but not much progress, not to mention three seasons a year, twenty times the yield of this magical crop, even if only this half of the crop has never been seen, how can you let her believe it for a while.
