Chapter 1515: Young Squires
Governing the country has to be weighed, and sometimes it is necessary to make decisions against the will, and even hurt some people. As an uncle, he wanted to tell his nephew this truth, and he believed that with the wisdom of the prince, he could understand this truth.
"That'...... So will it go on like this? Workers have not been allowed to return to their hometowns? After a long time, the prince raised his head and asked.
"Not really, even if I can't do that." The minister shook his head, "This matter has to be solved in two ways, the first is to keep improving the machinery and technology, so that the work-related accidents can be reduced all the way, so that the workers can give up their fears, and gradually increase the wages of the workers, so that they are reluctant to leave." As for the other one...... After a few years, most of the fields in the world have owners, even if you want to buy land, it is not so easy, and at that time, the ban will not be harmful to the dynasty, so ...... Now you can drag on for a few years, just use a few years of bans. ”
"......I see," the prince sighed, finally a little more relaxed.
These two solutions are probably the result of the discussion of the important ministers, and the father must have agreed. The new dynasty did not inhibit land annexation, and in addition to supporting a force that would balance the nobles, there were also such considerations.
There's a lot more to learn on your own, and I don't know what I'll be able to do.
"If the prince still doesn't want to go...... Nachen can be a little flexible. Seeing that the prince was still hesitating, the minister made some concessions, "The ban can't be opened, and he and his son can't be allowed to go directly to the countryside to farm, but they can be transferred to work in Hejian Mansion, which is reasonable......
"No, no need, thank you, uncle!" After the prince was silent for a long time, he suddenly sighed himself, "There are many state affairs, and you can't just let your nephew be a good person." ”
"It's best if the prince thinks so." The minister also seemed relieved.
In winter, the sky is clear and the earth is bright but does not bring much warmth, and in the vast fields, the withered yellow grass spreads like a carpet on the ground until it reaches the distant peaks.
In the chilly breeze, a grey roe deer roamed through the meadows, searching for enough food to feed its stomach.
Winter is not over yet, and it must reduce activity and seize the time.
At that moment, it sensed something unusual, and then looked up to see a strange group of creatures in the distance, some with two legs and some with four legs, quietly observing it. The two-legged creature was holding a strangely shaped iron pipe aimed at it.
It didn't know what it was, but instinctively sensed danger, and it immediately decided to run away.
???? However, at this moment, white smoke suddenly appeared from those strangely shaped iron pipes.
????“ Bang! "Bang!" With a roar that sounded almost simultaneously, the huge impact knocked the whole deer away, and finally fell miserably to the ground, and after a few hesitations, it slowly stopped breathing.
Its pain was uncared for, and its death gave the group of little hunters an indescribable sense of excitement.
Several young men in fur robes rushed at the same time in the direction where the roe deer had fallen.
In ancient times, everyone used bows and arrows for hunting, but after the establishment of the new dynasty, a large number of muskets flowed into the people, so hunters slowly used muskets to hunt. However, the young men were not really professional hunters, they just took the opportunity to run out and hunt for fun - but because of this, their excitement was much stronger than that of professional hunters.
Several horses rushed to the side of the deceased corpse of the roe deer, then rolled over and dismounted.
The tallest boy was very agile, and he took the lead in snatching the corpse of the deer, and then raised it excitedly, I beat it, I beat it!
Other teenagers also ran over at this time, and then also rushed to see the roe deer, and some also said that they had beaten themselves.
While they were arguing, they took the roe deer and rode back to the place where they had just been. These teenagers spend their days in the house, so they treat it as a game and enjoy it.
The prince, who was in the distance, looked at his group of attendants, and felt angry and funny in his heart. A group of people with guns bullying a roe deer and doing so happily.
In order to prevent the prince from only studying and becoming physically weak, the emperor has always encouraged the princes to use various ways to strengthen their bodies, so not only Zhao Hu, the king of Qi, but even the prince himself has practiced a pistol. And because the big man started by force, the young attendants who followed him were also familiar with marksmanship since childhood.
This time he came out to inspect, which originally meant to be a holiday, so the attendants around him also followed.
These attendants are selected from the noble family, and they serve by the prince's side, which can make the prince familiar with the future subordinates, and can also increase the affection of the next generation of royals and nobles.
After many expansions, a large number of sons and daughters of old and new nobles have gathered around the prince as attendants, and they study and study with the prince, so that the place where the prince studied has the appearance of a academy.
Moreover, according to his father's plan, it will indeed become a school in the future, for the future Han royal and nobles to study together, learn cultural knowledge, and at the same time accept the new political and new system concepts of the Han Dynasty, and infiltrate the concept of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce into the minds of everyone in the elite group, so that the Han Dynasty can go on the road of modernization and industrialization on its own.
After inspecting the construction site of the fortress, because there was still some time to go on vacation, the prince went out hunting with his attendants as his father had instructed, and the minister no longer followed him because he needed to go to various places to survey suitable places for the construction of the palace.
However, as the crown prince, he couldn't shout like everyone else, even if no one was watching, so he just fired his machine gun and let the young squires pick up the spoils and boast of his marksmanship.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look to the side.
The little attendant next to him was called Zheng Sen, who was only ten years old this year, but his height was already very high, almost reaching the crown prince's chin. Because he was usually physically well-trained, he was obviously holding a gun about the same length as him in his hand, but his hands did not tremble, and the muzzle of the gun was very stable when he fired.
Like him, the little squire shot indifferently, but never picked up prey, nor did he participate in the squire's playfulness, as if he had been ignored and accepted the arrangement.
The reason why he is ignored by others is not only because of his arrogant and unsociable personality, but also because of his identity.
Although they are also the sons of the nobles, the noble young men around the prince are faintly divided into three major factions, one is the sons of those nobles who were born in Xu Huai and first followed the Zhao family. This group is the least numerous, but it is more pretentious than the others, more arrogant, and the most closed-minded.
The second faction is those who later joined the Zhao family group Xu Huai Xungui, as well as the children of the Xun Gui who followed the Zhao family after the Zhao family started, they are numerous, and they play well with each other, and faintly have some envy and jealousy of the first faction, the two factions have little contact, but the conflict is not big.
The third faction is those noble sons who only joined the court before and after the establishment of the new dynasty, and received knighthoods, their parents were the latest, and in the eyes of others, they did not have great merit to the new dynasty, and because of their low qualifications, the actual status in the court was relatively low, and there was also a faint layer of "hostage" meaning, so they were not popular in the group of attendants, and it could even be said that they were collectively rejected by the other two factions. There are not too many people in this faction, because they have received many cold receptions, so they only come and go in the circle.
Zheng Sen is a member of the third faction, he is the son of Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Huiji, Zheng Zhilong is a maritime giant merchant and thief in southern Fujian, who once had a huge subordinate and has been rampant on the sea for many years. After the establishment of the new dynasty, he judged the situation and saw that the military might of the new dynasty was unstoppable, and he was tired of the life of drifting at sea, so he chose to surrender to the new dynasty after the Han court began the southern expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, and also donated a large amount of family resources, so he was named the Marquis of Huiji. And Zheng Sen, as his eldest son, was also recruited into Beijing.
After entering Beijing, he quickly understood his position in the prince's attendant group, and encountered the same cold reception as other children from similar backgrounds. However, although he is very young, he is physically strong and has a strong personality, so after a few fights, no one is openly bullying him.
The children, who were supposed to be innocent, have been contaminated with some worldliness after staying together, and even the circle of communication has been demarcated, and they often ignore each other. The crown prince had already discovered this situation in normal times, and he wanted to change it, but he had been unable to change it, so he had to wait for time for the several factions of nobles to slowly become harmonious.
He recently went out to tour Beijing, and it was impossible to bring all the attendants with him, so he brought the sons of those uncles - that is, the first group of people among the nobles, and he only brought one Zheng Sen with him, so it was normal for Zheng Sen to be treated coldly and no one to take care of him along the way, and it was really a shame that he could endure it.
This child is really strange and pitiful, he was sent to the capital by his father all the way to the capital at the age of a few years, and he was bullied by others, and he also lost his strong personality to endure it as if it was nothing.
The prince called this Zheng Sen out alone, of course, for another purpose.
