Chapter 10: The Ritual of Pro-Ploughing

Looking at his energy value in the end, Ren Tian has a headache, the importance of the initial energy value is self-evident, he can basically only deal with the country's court affairs once a day, and there are many that can't be handled at all.

It's not that I don't want to deal with it, but I don't have the energy.

Otherwise, we will have to play out the scene of the first day again.

Ren Tianyi waved his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a little tired today, and today's court meeting will end here." ”

"Your Majesty."

Sima Guobai stood up and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to offer to Your Majesty." ”

"Oh?"

Guo Bai stood below, offering an object with both hands, the little eunuch next to Ren Tian immediately went up and took the thing, Ren Tian looked at the rolled thing, reached out to take it, and suddenly, in front of Ren Tian's eyes, a virtual box popped up.

"Map of the new country."

Four big characters appeared on the top of the box, and the whole box was actually black, only in the middle was a similar outline of a province that was narrow and narrow, which was Linchuan County.

On the far left of this Linchuan County, there are two county seats, namely Nanxian County and Heping County, which is the jurisdiction of Ren Tianxinguo.

Ren Tian knew in his heart that this was basically a map, a map of his entire country, which was clear, for example, the detailed situation in Nanxian County and Heping County could even be seen clearly, and places such as yamen and wine shops were even marked.

In addition to his own two county seats, the rest of Linchuan County is gray, which means that it has been explored before, but now it has lost its grasp and dynamics, so it is not very clear about the situation there, so it is replaced by gray.

As for the situation outside Linchuan County, Ren Tian was completely unclear.

Because these maps must be explored before they become clear and appear on this map.

According to the information revealed before the game, the entire game map can be regarded as China, which can be magnified many times, is roughly the same, but many places are not consistent.

At the same time, Ren Tian's country interface bar also has an additional [map] attribute.

Ren Tian put away the message: "This thing is quite useful to me. ”

Guo Bai bowed his head and returned to the queue.

"In that case, please bow down."

Ren Tian was ready to get up and leave.

"Your Majesty."

Another official shouted Ren Tian.

This time it was Fan Yi, an official of Houji, and the so-called position of Houji was equivalent to the Minister of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China, in charge of agriculture.

"What?"

"Your Majesty, today is the day of mid-spring, it should be the day of Your Majesty's pro-ploughing ceremony, please your Majesty bathe and change your clothes, and at the gate of the imperial city, lead me and others to plough."

Pro-ploughing ceremony?

Ren Tian was a little confused, what kind of gift is this? How did I never hear of it.

Seeing Ren Tian's doubts, Fan Yi also further explained: "Your Majesty, the so-called pro-ploughing ceremony is a ceremony that Your Majesty must hold in early spring. Classical records, "is to the emperor to plough to persuade the peasants, after the mulberry to become a subdued, so to show God, to repay the piety also", His Majesty is the Ninety-Five, is the model of the people of the new country, His Majesty personally ploughed the fields, ploughed to persuade the people, but for the development of the new country's agriculture, my new country people see Your Majesty's actions, will inevitably devote themselves to the development of agriculture. ”

Ren Tian listened to the explanation, then checked the system again, and finally figured it out.

It turns out that this is called the emperor's personal ploughing, the meaning is very simple, that is, in the first month, the emperor wants to make a appearance, hold a ceremony to plough the field himself, and set an example for his own people, and then the place where the emperor cultivates is called one acre and three points of land, yes, this idiom is from here to spread.

After listening, Ren Tian nodded: "Good, it is beneficial to the people of the new country, and I should do it." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

All the ministers knelt down, and Ren Tian listened to the system prompt next to him to trigger the task of "pro-ploughing ceremony", and he went down to change clothes.

Back in his palace, as usual, six palace maids stepped forward, took off their crowns and dragon robes, and then took over another set of clothes that they had prepared and put them on for Ren Tian.

After putting it on, Ren Tian took the little eunuch beside him and went to gather at the south gate.

Although the scale in the game is much larger than the map in history, Ren Tian's imperial city is still not large, his imperial city is close to the city wall of Nanxian, which is equivalent to the inner city, and there is only one entrance to Nanxian, that is, the south gate, unlike the imperial city in history, there are twelve gates, such as Xuanwu Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Chongwen Gate, etc.

When they arrived at the south city gate, their own group of courtiers also changed their clothes, and a number of soldiers from the Praetorian Guard Regiment followed.

Going out from the south, Ren Tian arrived outside the south of Nanxian County, and when he looked around, he saw that there were government personnel, directing many people to dig the ground with hoes.

There are a lot of people, there are hundreds of them, and the ground is already dug very wide, and every short distance, there are plots of land that are dug into rectangles, such as rice fields.

There are other ordinary people who carry the soil with a flat pole and carry the excavated clods of soil to distant places.

Seeing Ren Tian looking, Du Hong immediately came up and said: "Your Majesty, this is the reclamation of farmland, and what the minister planned is to first reclaim the abandoned fields near Nanxian, which is closer to Nanxian, so that the efficiency is also higher." ”

Ren Tian nodded.

In ancient times, whether it was the West or the East, in fact, the crops in the fields were planted outside the city, and the farms were scattered around the city, and there were many farmlands around, so there was an idiom called Qingbi Jianye, which means that all the crops outside the city were harvested, and then the city was firmly guarded.

This move, in the war, both the attacker and the defender attach great importance to it, if the crops are too late to harvest, then they will be wreaked havoc by the enemy, so that there is no food and grass, and it will not last long.

After all, in the era of farming, agriculture is the most important, and it actually makes sense to emphasize agriculture and suppress business in that era.

"Your Majesty, please come here, the pro-ploughing ceremony has been prepared, please come with me."

Ren Tian followed a group of people over, and in a nearby field, there were many soldiers standing around, and in the middle of the field, a pear was placed on a buffalo.

"Your Majesty, please."

Ren Tian nodded, he looked up, only to see that there were many people not far away who were looking here, and next to them were full of soldiers, surrounding themselves, those people looked curiously, but they were all blocked by the soldiers.

"Come on, let those soldiers change positions, they don't need to stand so tightly, they all stand here, get out of sight, and let those people also see."

Ren Tian said.

Anyway, it's all a pro-farming ceremony, so naturally the people have to see it clearly.
