Chapter 181: Then Go for it
Su Baiyi said that there was snow from time to time.
Sure enough, it snowed.
There has been no rain or snow in Jingshi for more than two months, and the weather was sunny and cloudless yesterday, but Su Baiyi dared to say with such certainty that there was snow today?
And, he's right.
Then this summer's lack of harvest in Shaanxi should be about the same.
The emperor turned his head, and then slowly walked to the center of the main hall where the ministers were standing, and did not ascend to the throne.
"Su Baiyi told me yesterday that there was snow this morning, you see, it was ......," he pointed his finger out.
In fact, the ministers have already seen it.
But when I heard His Majesty say that Su Baiyi expected it so accurately yesterday, I couldn't help but be surprised.
In the past, when Su Baiyi was in Guide Mansion, no matter how accurate the weather prediction was, it was just a story for them, but now it is different, because Su Baiyi has come to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, the ministers of meteorology don't understand, Su Baiyi does have talents, and the ministers have to admit it!" Wen Tiren turned to Emperor Chongzhen, bent over and said: "But this is all a small way, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, he can only predict at best, and he can't control it, so the minister thinks that there is no need to call him Suzi for this reason." ”
"Oh?" Chongzhen smiled and said, "Then Wen Aiqing also thinks that Su Baiyi's meteorological theory can indeed predict the weather?" ”
"Naturally, Su Zi's meteorological talent is known to the world, and the minister does not dare to refute!" Wen Tiren is still self-aware, because Su Baiyi's prediction of the weather is there, and the emperor has personally confirmed it, so if he doubts it, didn't he stick out his face and let people beat him?
"That's good!" The emperor took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the throne, and then said, "Yesterday, in addition to telling me that it was snowing today, Su Baiyi also told me another news. Since Wen Aiqing said that Su Baiyi is not worthy of being called Su Zi, it is okay, Mr. Su's problem is up to you to deal with it! ”
Wen Tiren frowned, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Since he entered the cabinet, he has always been favored by the emperor, relying on nothing more than a mouth that can fight, but he didn't calculate it by all means, and Su Baiyi didn't even enter the court, which gave him a big problem.
"Mr. Su told me that after the beginning of summer this year, there will be a severe drought in Shaanxi Province, accompanied by locust plagues, including Hanzhong Mansion, and the whole of Shaanxi will not be harvested. Since it has been learned half a year in advance, Wen Aiqing will do the matter of pacifying the whole province of Shaanxi. ”
"This ......" Wen Tiren was dumbfounded.
Shaanxi province drought?
Su Baiyi, how can you predict celestial phenomena half a year later?
There is no harvest in Shaanxi Province, and there is no way to smash my old bones.
However, after all, he is a famous fighter in history, and he thought of a way in the blink of an eye.
If you can't do it, won't I push it?
"Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren arched his hand to Chongzhen: "Hong Chengchou is the governor of Lord Hong's trilateral military affairs, and his subordinates are all soldiers who can recruit and fight well, and the minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to pass the news to Lord Hong, so that he can prepare early." ”
"That's right!" The emperor nodded, smiling coldly in his heart, but he didn't intend to let Wen Tiren go, but changed his mouth and asked: "You are the first assistant of the cabinet, there is always a deal for such a big matter, right?" ”
Wen Tiren's face was so thick that he was invincible, and he even kicked a ball again: "Your Majesty, this is a corner of the problem, Lord Hong is enough to deal with it, the minister is only coordinating in the rear, and the specific measures have to be listened to by Lord Hong!" ”
"Okay!" Chongzhen really obeyed him, and he hated it so much that the root of his teeth itched, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, and said stupidly: "Then let's talk about the whole country, Su Baiyi said to me yesterday that this drought will last for ten years, and it will spread to the provinces north of Jianghuai from the seventh year of Chongzhen, and our Ming Dynasty is about to usher in the most serious natural disaster in three generations. ”
As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, the entire court suddenly began to discuss in a chaotic manner.
After all, the news is too shocking.
Even if Su Baiyi predicted the weather before, no matter how accurate it was, this time they all began to oppose it in unison.
"Your Majesty, will Su Baiyi be alarmist?"
"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty has been in drought for four years, and if it is a drought for another ten years, it will be a drought for fourteen consecutive years, and the minister has never heard of such a thing!"
"Yes, could it be that the heavens are going to kill my Ming people?"
"Alarmist!"
……
Looking at the ministers below who only knew how to attack Su Baiyi and couldn't make even a little substantive suggestion, Emperor Chongzhen's face became colder and colder.
Sun Chengzong did not join the discussion, but frowned slightly, and arched his hand towards him: "Your Majesty, if it is really as Mr. Su said, the imperial court should prepare as soon as possible. ”
"Although Lord Sun's words are reasonable, it may be difficult to settle so many victims!" Xu Guangqi shook his head.
Chongzhen bowed slightly!
After all, there are still one or two ministers who are worried about the country and the court.
"What about Wen Aiqing, what do you think should be done?"
The emperor named him again, which made Wen Tiren feel a sense of shock.
But he really couldn't think of a way, and he couldn't shirk it to others like last time, so he could only make a bitter face and think for a while and said: "The minister agrees with Lord Sun's words and transports grain from the south of the Yangtze River!" ”
Chongzhen took a deep breath, full of dissatisfaction in his heart, and turned into a faint sigh.
Someone below seemed to notice the emperor's dissatisfaction, and bowed his hand and said, "I don't know if Su Baiyi has a good law?" ”
Chongzhen suddenly thought that talking to Su Baiyi yesterday about the coping strategy was his chic and free analysis, as well as the amazing five-hand layout, and then looked at the current ministers, he suddenly felt very irritable, very depressed, very aggrieved, and very powerless, so he sighed and said: "What is the use of me wanting these ministers?" ”
What is the use of a courtier, who only knows how to quarrel in the main hall all day long, and fills his pockets in private, but cannot put forward even a little suggestion that is useful to the country?
When the ministers below heard this, they were unwilling.
One by one, they fell to their knees, crying and shouting for their resignation.
In particular, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, cried like a 62 horn in his early fifties, complaining about a handful of snot and tears, and then strongly demanded to resign and tell his old age.
He has used this trick many times, and every time he encounters an indecisive problem, he cries and his majesty's heart softens, and then he keeps everyone Hello and I will continue to work tomorrow.
But today, he seems to have misheard.
"Then let's go, Wen Aiqing has worked hard, and it's time to enjoy her old age!"
These are the exact words of the emperor.
For a moment, there was a deathly silence in the hall.
Wen Tiren looked at the emperor on his knees, stunned and stunned!
It shouldn't be like this.
Won't the emperor keep it?
Immediately, he noticed that the stabbing eyes around him were like sharp swords, and his body suddenly froze, and he cried again. This time I didn't pretend to cry, but I really cried.
After decades of hard work, it was a happy thing to get into the cabinet first, but what kind of mood was it like to be driven home by the emperor in the middle of the job?
In the future, I am afraid that there will be a place in the history, but I know that it is definitely not a good reputation if I think about it with my toes.
……
Su Baiyi woke up in the warm pavilion and felt that his nose and mouth were dry!
There is a charcoal fire burning in the house, and the temperature is high and the humidity goes down, so it will feel dry, which is the same as the air conditioning in later generations.
Because of last night's drinking, my head is still slightly dizzy.
It's a lot of alcohol!
Compared to the previous life, it is far worse.
Su Baiyi pushed open the window, the outside world was already slightly white, and the first snow only fell after the winter year.
No wind!
The snow seems to fall vertically, standing on the tips of the evergreen trees, standing on the bluestone path, in this quaint pavilion courtyard, it looks full of artistic conception.
If you chant poetry and snow here, there is no artistic conception of "flying into the reed and never seeing".
put on his clothes and was about to go downstairs, but the door was pushed open by a maid's creak, and a tall girl came in with a basin of hot books, and Zhang Luo, who was at most one meter three or four tall, walked in front.
"Suzi, you're awake!" Zhang Luo was familiar with himself, and after seeing Su Baiyi, he smiled cutely, jumped beside him, and folded his hands to make a standard apprenticeship, "Mr. Luo'er is really the best gentleman in the world, and His Majesty calls you Suzi?"
Hehe, Mr. will inevitably be a character like Confucius in the future, and I, Zhang Luo, can also be a seventy-two sage! ”
"Little girl, what do you want!"
Su Baiyi was not so familiar with her, and he didn't dare to knock her head without permission, so he took back half of his outstretched hand, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the basin shelf, and cleaned it slightly.
"Master Su, this is mouthwash!" The maid brought another basin of water.
Su Baiyi was secretly speechless, obedient, it's really amazing, this big family uses a basin to rinse their mouths!
Bow your head and take a sip, salty!
It turned out that there was salt in it!
This is a strategic material, advanced!
No wonder it's the National Mansion.
But Su Baiyi was really not uncommon in his heart, he took out a toothbrush and a box of toothpaste from his baggage, and then brushed his teeth with a grunt.
The little girl Zhang Luo was curious, walked up to Su Baiyi and asked, "Mr. Su, what is this, is it used for teeth cleaning?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Su Baiyi nodded, and replied inarticulately: "Brush your teeth, otherwise your mouth will stink!" ”
"Awesome!" Zhang Luo looked at the toothpaste and then at the toothbrush, the little girl's clean nature was undoubtedly displayed, and a pair of big eyes looked at Su Baiyi, and the water would flow out after a while.
Su Baiyi couldn't stand it, so she took out a toothbrush from her baggage and threw it to her: "I'll give it to you, and I'll give you half of the toothpaste!" ”
"Did you make it yourself? Why can't I buy it? ”
Zhang Luo is very strange, the soap and glass made by Mr. can be bought, but why haven't I seen this kind of toothbrush?
When Zhang Luo said this, Su Baiyi suddenly had an idea.
That's right!
What a great way to make money!
It can also improve the overall hygiene level of Daming, why can't you think of making some toothbrushes and toothpaste?
This toothpaste is also very easy to make!
