Seeing that it was getting noon, Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo passed on the meal, and then returned to the vertical arch hall again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Before Info had even sat in the hot dragon chair, Gao Ho walked in, his face strange.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chengqi didn't raise his head, and was reviewing the votes sent by the cabinet. Today, there are too many things to do. After doing this, it was necessary to write a holy decree and promulgate the policy of developing Jiangnan to the people of the world. Only when a decree is issued can it be considered a decree. Of course, if it was a death edict from the ministers, Lu Chengqi would not have been able to promulgate it. This can also be regarded as the characteristics of Dashun to balance the emperor's power, otherwise there will be a faint monarch, what if the world is in chaos?

Today's government affairs are busy, Lu Chengqi is upset, and when he sees Gao Hao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he is a little angry in his heart: "Say, which minister came to see again?" ”

Gao Ho lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's not the ministers who ask to see you, but Zhenla and Zhancheng who come to ask for a ......."

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and even remembered that there was indeed such a thing. This Zhenla saw Annan sharpening his knife Huo Huo, and he came to ask for help. Lu Chengqi was angry with these small Southeast Asian countries, and if he had milk, he was a mother, and he decided to snub them, all of them were perfunctory by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he had never summoned them. Seeing that it was approaching winter, no matter how rampant Annan was, he would not send troops in winter, and Zhenla was not so anxious. Why did you come to see you again today, is there still a change in things?

Lu Chengqi glanced at the folds piled high, frowned and said: "You let them wait in the Chongzheng Palace, and then go and summon Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to deal with them, and then go and see them after I finish dealing with the matter at hand...... "After hanging them for so long, it's time to meet them." In case they surrender to Annan, it will be even more difficult for Annan to clean up after he sits on the throne.

Originally, there was only one country in Zhenla, but after half a month, the city of Zhancheng also came. Lu Chengqi saw that it was late autumn, and he expected that Annan would not send troops in winter, so he kept hanging them. Who told them to always have an ambiguous attitude towards Dashun, even if they come to the court every year and pay tribute every year, they are not sincere, and they all want to grab something from Dashun and go back. In such a small country, Lu Chengqi is determined to give them a "profound lesson" and let them understand that Dashun is not easy to deceive.

After putting down the matter, Lu Chengqi calmly put on red, and then according to Xu Chongguang's plan, he wrote a holy decree: "The edict said: Yi said: 'The house of goodness, there must be Yuqing. 'He who has not bowed down to goodness, and then he is sluggish. I am not stingy with praise, the minister has the code of dedication, through Ned to repair, the court has the grace of the lord and the husband is expensive. In addition to the prosperous place of Qiantang in the south of the Yangtze River today, there are 'smoke willow painting bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and 100,000 households. The city is a jewel, and it is a pity that it is a wild place. In addition, the population of the Central Plains is booming, and the fields are not abundant. I want to make the land south of the Yangtze River into a granary of Dashun again, and I hereby issue this decree. But all the people over the age of 16 in Dashun can go to the south of the Yangtze River to reclaim five acres of wasteland, which does not include lakes, mountains, and swamps. Once cultivated for five years, the local county government will issue a title deed for its permanent cultivation. However, if there is a certain land property in the name of a certain person, once it is verified, the field will be confiscated, and one acre of land will be fined ten times. Don't be unpredictable. October 12 of the fourth year of Hongxiang. ”

Lu Chengqi's decree is very short, just concise and to the point, there is such a policy, you can have your own land through labor. However, the specific way to do it is still subject to Xu Chongguang's twists and turns. This recital will also be printed in many copies and transmitted to the county offices in various parts of the Yangtze River. Xu Chongguang's recital is clearly written on it, which is linked to the development of Jiangnan and the political performance of officials. For the sake of promotion, it is estimated that no one dares to be perfunctory.

In the past, usually the imperial court demoted officials, and they were demoted to the land of Bashan Chushui and Lingnan Qiongzhou. "The weather in these places is shabby and steamy, especially in Hainan." At the turn of autumn and summer, everything is rotten, people are not gold and stone, how can it last long? ", miasma and poison" to the day of the solstice, suitable and very much, the plain towel is full of suburbs, mourning drums even day and night, so the old saying has not been there for decades. Taste in the white mist of the strange bird is flying and falling, the chicken and the guinea dog are walking and upside down, and when they ask others, they say: 'Miasma also.' ’”

Jiangnan at this time had a very low population density and was vast and sparsely populated. Agricultural production is carried out extensively. Even in the relatively developed Guangzhou area, farming is "often reckless, and after a plough, there is no reuse force", and it is necessary to carry out rotational tillage in order to maintain fertility. Of course, this phenomenon will certainly be greatly reduced in the future. Even if the Han people have a strong sense of locality, it is difficult to resist the temptation of having land. Once the advanced farming culture of the Central Plains is introduced to Jiangnan, with the climate of Jiangnan, grain production will immediately jump to the first rank in the country.

At this time, the climate in Dashun is getting colder year by year, and the north is becoming more and more unsuitable for cultivating rice. Except for Shandong East Road, Henan Province and other places where the sunshine is still acceptable, most of them have been replanted with wheat. If the pattern of southern rice and northern wheat is established now, it will be a blessing rather than a curse for Dashun.

After putting down the pen, Lu Chengqi read it again with satisfaction, and asked Gao Hao to send it to the cabinet, ready to review it again through the governor's affairs, and then it could be promulgated. This is the will of the larger imperial court, and there are so many complicated procedures. If it was a relatively simple will, as long as Lu Cheng activated the brush. In general, the power of the emperor of Dashun is still quite large.

Lu Chengqi, who put down the big stone in his heart, was in a good mood and said to Gao Hao: "Set up the Chongzheng Palace." ”

Gao Hao hurriedly said: "The emperor is driving!" ”

At this time, the atmosphere in the Chongzheng Hall was very awkward. Although Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the "Minister of Foreign Affairs" at this time, his power was not as great as he imagined. Even if anything was promised to Zhenla and Zhancheng, as long as the emperor didn't nod, it was all nonsense and useless.

Zhen Lalai asked in a Chinese dialect that was not fluent: "Dare to ask the officials of the Heavenly Empire, Your Majesty, when will you arrive?" ”

The envoy from Zhancheng also looked at Feng Chengping with a blank eye, he was more anxious than the envoy of Zhenla. At this time, Chenla was the current generation of the Angkor Dynasty, prosperous and rich, no less than the Central Plains. Angkor Wat, which shocked the world in later generations, is the remnant of the Angkor Dynasty. The Angkor Dynasty, like Champa, was deeply influenced by the Tianzhu culture, and the Tianzhu script was used in the country. And Annam was deeply influenced by Han culture, and it can be said that the war between the three kingdoms was a war between cultures. Of course, the grievances of these three kingdoms have been going on for a long time, you beat me, I beat yours, and the land has changed one owner after another, just like a marquee. As for who is right and who is wrong, who can say clearly?

Feng Chengping said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, envoy, Your Majesty is handling political affairs, and when you are done, you will meet you." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Gao Hao's voice coming: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Feng Chengping smiled: "Your Majesty, isn't this coming?" Get up and greet Your Majesty with me! ”

The envoys of the two countries learned the etiquette of the Central Plains at the post station, and without the slightest hesitation, they immediately got up and prepared to greet the "Emperor of the Heavenly Empire".

After Lu Chengqi walked into the Chongzheng Palace, he looked around and saw the envoys of the two countries with dark complexions like Kunlun slaves, and he was slightly surprised. After walking straight to the dragon chair and sitting down, Feng Chengping led the two countries to envoy Shi Li and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

"Flat, sit!" (To be continued.) )
