When it was time for the autumn harvest, Liu Xian led people south to inspect Henan.

Food has always been the top priority in the heart of the new Qin Dynasty. Even if Siam, a major rice exporter, has fallen into the dinner plate of the new Qin, the domestic grain production still firmly pulls the hearts of the emperor and the petty officials.

After many years, Liu Xian once again inspected Henan. The local officials in Henan are not allowed to take charge of the driving, and all the expenses are from the internal funds. The emperor came down and took a walk, and what he needed was not an official article, but an eye to see the most real situation.

In the middle, he also went to Zhengzhou and Luoyang to see the two mechanized mixed brigades stationed in these two places. This was the earliest batch of mechanized troops formed in the spring of the 15th year of the new Qin.

Trucks, trailers, armored vehicles, tank vehicles, everything from soldiers on the road, to logistics transportation, to combat readiness consignment, everything is done mechanized. In the past two years, five generals have emerged from these two mixed brigades, all of whom have been promoted to front-line commanders of armored and mechanized units.

It is the training base for the military chief officer of the mechanized army, which is second only to Beijing Nanyuan.

Liu Xian saw a kind of high-spirited momentum of 'swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger' from the exercise of the two mixed brigades! These two troops have lived up to the inscription that Liu Xian wrote for them two years ago - use me in the first battle, and use me to win!

In such a situation, the emperor's mood was of course very pleasant, and there was even a little pride in the comfort. It's more about self-confidence, an unprecedented self-confidence. Once again, he strengthened his heart! Convinced that he would be able to crush all hostile forces in a short period of time. I firmly believe that I will lead this country to the top of the world with a strategic vision that transcends the times.

On Earth today, the hegemony of the British Empire is crumbling. A super-strong situation will turn into a group of heroes. China will step on the corpse of the entire Western civilized world and go to the supreme throne!

It's in such a comfortable mood. Liu Xian embarked on a journey to continue his southern tour, inspecting central and southeastern Henan. Check out the results of the autumn harvest, especially the cooperative farms in Zhoujiakou. Liu Xian was delayed in Zhoujiakou for a full day. met an acquaintance, Xu Shichang, held a local symposium, and praised Yang Wantong. Because the words have no bones and no gods, Liu Xian will not sacrifice ugliness and leave ink treasures, but taking a photo with Yang Wantong is enough to be a 'door god' on this farm that has become more and more prosperous recently.

Liu Xian's southern tour was accompanied by a number of cabinet and central officials, and this trip to Henan was in three important aspects: industry, water conservancy, and agriculture. These three books are naturally there. Then there are the corresponding cabinet ministers.

Now the state departments are more and more divided, from the first 12 or 3, when they were one by one into the cabinet, to the current more than 20 ministries and the number of departments and bureaus that are about the same but half a level apart, and the cabinet ministers can only be selectively promoted. On the top of his head, he changed from a book to the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, Water and Animal Husbandry, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Sports, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Transport, and so on. Now Wu Dacheng, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, Water and Animal Husbandry, is by Liu Xianam's side, and this man is in charge of the four departments of agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and animal husbandry.

The team of this southern tour also used a total of five trains, which were connected end to end. This momentum is also quite impressive.

Now, Liu Xian is sitting in a carriage of a train in the middle, holding the Henan agricultural report he got from the governor of Henan, and is carefully studying page by page. But Wu Dacheng, who was not far from him, didn't put his mind on the same report in his hand. He's worried about next year's election.

Seeing that the time is running all the way to the end of the year, the candidates for the fourth cabinet are also coming. The dust has long been settled on the first assistant of this cabinet, and that is none other than Zhang Shouyan. But what about the secondary auxiliary? Li Hongzhang will definitely retire. The candidate for the second assistant is like a piece of fat that runs through oil, and is stared at by all those who are qualified.

I'm talking about cabinet ministers.

The head of the cabinet was replaced. The same is true for the ministers in the Cabinet. The former is recognized by the whole country as being above 10,000 people under one person, but the latter is also the pillar of the country with a more status than the previous Qing military minister.

The first assistant and the second assistant are destined to be expected by only a few people. The audience of cabinet ministers is much wider. Those who have already entered the cabinet hope to keep their position. And then there are small improvements; Those who have not entered the cabinet naturally hope to be able to cross the threshold and enjoy the taste of being respected as a 'cabinet elder'.

Wu Dacheng is a native of Wu County, Suzhou, and is one of the few central ministers from Jiangnan. Of course, he is also a relict of the former Qing Dynasty. In the cabinet, he has been closely following Li Hongzhang. This person is talented, and he has very profound attainments in gold and stone, calligraphy and painting. Good at painting landscapes and flowers, calligraphy is good at seal calligraphy. But he is also very different from many talented officials who are only culturally excellent.

He was conscientious and responsible, attentive to details, and had studied the management of rivers. The reason why he was able to enter Liu Xian's eyes, and then rose all the way to the cabinet, was because Wu Dacheng contributed a lot in the process of harnessing the Huai River and the Yellow River.

Two years ago, Shen Baozhen died of illness, and Wu Dacheng entered the cabinet, and a year later he filled the post of minister of agriculture, forestry, water and animal husbandry.

Wu Dacheng certainly had hope for the position of the second assistant, but he knew that he really didn't have that possibility. Whether it is merit or seniority, it is too shallow. The person who can ascend to the throne of the second assistant this time is likely to be the emperor's cousin - Huo Guangcheng. Li Ying and Mrs. Li are almost old, and his youngest daughter was named the prince's concubine by the emperor, and the family is expected to succeed.

In this way, Wu Dacheng couldn't help but lament the withering of the former Qing officials. First Shen Guifen, then Guo Songtao, Liu Dian, Yan Jingming, Shen Baozhen, one by one, the big players withered one after another. Now Li Zhongtang has arrived, and the time for renewal has really arrived.

In the future, those who still support the former Qing officials in the court and support the reputation of Xianghuai will become himself and Pan Zuyin, plus two impartial Sun Jianai and Zhang Zhidong. Pan Zuyin is also a native of Wu County, Suzhou, but unfortunately he has no good relationship with the Xianghuai family. However, Liu Kunyi, Liu Mingchuan, Zeng Guoquan, Yuan Baoheng and other feudal officials who were outside the Xianghuai family, but they didn't want them to return to Beijing because of the emperor's intentions. The same Yunnan Sancen, Cen Yuying has died of illness, his younger brother Cen Yubao is now the governor of Guangxi, and his son Cen Chunxuan jumped to the attendant room again, although the most prominent official position and the most famous Cen Yuying has died, but the Cen family jumped ashore. In the future, Cen Chunxuan will be born in the chamber, and no one will mix the Cen family with the former Qing official again.

Wu Dacheng was very melancholy, but how could the melancholy in his heart compare to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang Daoguang has been a jinshi for 27 years, and he has been 46 years so far, and he has been busy with officialdom and power for too long. Now he is seventy years old, but he is still in good health, and he must be a priest and completely withdraw from the stage of power, but it is not the right time for his wife to die, not only blowing away his granddaughter's throne as the crown princess, but also blowing away the official hats of his two sons. Now Li Hongzhang has more and more time sighing at home.

At the end of the month, when Liu Xian returned to Beijing, he went to Chenzhou Mansion [Zhoukou City, Henan], where Xiangcheng County is Yuan Datou's hometown. He is called Yuan Xiangcheng, which is based on this. At the same time, Xu Shichang also met Yuan Datou here. Yuan Datou had not yet entered the Military Intelligence Bureau at that time, and stayed at home with nothing to do, and the two figures who had left an important mark in the history of China in the original time and space met in southeast Henan. And then at first sight!

Now, Yuan Shikai is already a cadre of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Xu Shichang has worked hard for many years and has also taken the position of the head of a county. Compared with the same period in history, of course, the official position is much smaller, but the corresponding China at this time is so wonderful.

Liu Xian sacrificed to the ancestor Fuxi in Chenzhou [Huaiyang, Henan]. There is a Taihao Mausoleum here, which was established by Zhu Yuanzhang back then. The buildings were all in harmony with the Ming Emperor's Palace in Nanjing at that time - the scale was reduced.

Chenzhou's Taihao Fuxi Mausoleum is still somewhat famous. The recognized birthplace of the human race Fuxi is Tianshui, where the Fuxi Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty - formerly known as Taihao Palace, commonly known as the Renzong Temple, the scale is not small, with an area of 20 acres of land. But compared with the Taihao Mausoleum here in Chenzhou, it is a small thing, Taihao Fuxi Mausoleum covers an area of 875 acres, the scale is grand, solemn and solemn.

If it is the time of the pre-Ming Dynasty, the annual sacrifice time, the scale is huge, Tianshui and Chenzhou are issued by the imperial court to issue the sacrificial text, using the Taigao specifications, two sacrifices a year, one sacrifice for three days, solemn and sacred. But in the Qing Dynasty, the sacrificial procedures were naturally simplified, and the rituals were simple.

Liu Xian did not mean to resume the national sacrifice in these two places. The inheritance of the water sacrifice is still quite complete, and there are too many degraded places in Chenzhou, according to Xu Shichang, it is completely a large temple fair, and there is no "Book of Songs" at all. Chen Feng".

Liu Xian also does not think that the restoration of the national sacrifice of the two mausoleums will have any side benefits for maintaining the people's hearts and cohesion. Looking at today's China, even if Liu Xian's country is not as good as Zhu Chong's eight zhizheng, if Liu Xian's exploits in resisting foreign countries can be added, it will not be much worse. If such a strong country can not let overseas Chinese return to their hearts and let overseas Chinese unite abroad, it is better to have such 'Chinese' and 'overseas Chinese'.

But people have passed here, and Liu Xian didn't come to offer a stick of incense to his grandfather, which is a bit unreasonable. When Hongwu was four years old, Zhu Yuanzhang was a pro-system Zhuwen sacrifice, and the Ming and Qing dynasties had 52 imperial sacrifices, which were all pressures.

Offering three sacrifices, and then Liu Xian saluted three incense sticks. "Grandpa has a spirit in the sky, so bless me to lead China to the first place in the world." The saint who brought himself here from the 21st century must have thought so.

Liu Xian has always respected ghosts and gods.

Then reset the five households guarding the mausoleum, set up the temple to celebrate, restore the Yue Fei Temple in the cemetery, and instruct the Chenzhou place to sacrifice every three years, and the livestock is too fast, and the sacrificial vessel is made.

That's right, there is also a Yue Fei Temple in this Taihao Mausoleum, and there are also four iron kneeling statues in it. In the former Qing Dynasty, this place was locked.

After sacrificing to Taihao Mausoleum, Liu Xian went to Luyi County in Chenzhou Mansion to worship Lao Tzu's Shangqing Palace, which is Lao Tzu's hometown. Then go home!

There are no people who stop the driver and shout grievances, there are no lawsuits, there are micro-service private visits, but there are no dragons and phoenixes. (To be continued......)
