Chapter 109: Mountains and Rivers

"Gu Jieyu is her own person, so the minister will have something to say. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, all industries were waiting to be developed, and the farmland in various places now has the tendency to recycle the imperial court, this matter must be Gu Jieyu is also a person who knows the inside story, so the minister will not repeat it, but now after the farmland is recycled, how to use it is what bothers us now. ”

"Speaking of which, this farmland can be recycled, and it is also inseparable from Gu Jieyu, so the minister dared to ask the emperor to summon Gu Jieyu to the Taihe Hall today, just to ask Gu Jieyu for advice, after recovering the farmland, what should be done with these farmland?"

Gu Banqin stared at Liu Youcheng for a while, and then saw Helian Hongyi from the other three adults, and then said to Liu Youcheng:

"How...... Yes, there is. ”

As soon as Gu Banqin's words came out, Helian Hongyi's eyes rose, put down the newspaper, leaned into the dragon chair with the teacup, and looked at Gu Banqin for a long time, with a kind of 'I don't speak, just watch you pretend to be forced quietly'.

Gu Banqin grinned at him and continued to Liu Youcheng: "It depends on whether our emperor is willing to cooperate or not." ”

Liu Youcheng and Master Tong glanced at each other, and they didn't quite understand what Gu Jieyu meant by this: "This, I don't know what Gu Jieyu wants the emperor to cooperate with?" ”

Gu Banqin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said his request to Helian Hongyi:

"It's just that I want to take a look at the map of mountains and rivers, the best kind of hills, the kind with complete mountains, I don't know if the emperor can agree."

The outer hall and dormitory of the Taihe Palace, concubines can enter, but the inner hall is a place to discuss the government and politics, and concubines have always been forbidden to set foot in it.

Gu Banqin is not sure whether Helian Hongyi will let her see it, but if she doesn't take a look and do geographical analysis, her research will not be established at all, and if there is a deviation at that time, it will lose its value.

Gu Banqin's request not only made Helian Hongyi stunned, but also Liu Youcheng and Master Tong were stunned, they were still thinking in their minds just now that Gu Jieyu asked the emperor to cooperate would inevitably be some harem rewards, but no one expected that Gu Jieyu would propose to see the terrain of mountains and rivers.

The atmosphere in the Taihe Hall was frozen for a while, knowing that Helian Hongyi's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous light, and he opened his voice after a moment of silence:

"Give me a reasonable reason."

Gu Banqin saw the dangerous look in Helian Hongyi's eyes, she didn't care, but was happy in her heart, and asked her to say the reason, that is, there is hope, and after sorting out what she wanted to say in her mind, she said it without stage fright:

"The reason is...... The land is vast, and each place in the east, west, north and south has different climate temperatures, and if the same crop is planted uniformly throughout the country, it may not be possible to obtain a bumper harvest across the country. ”

"In fact, I have read in a geographical chronicle before, the climate of the north and the south is very different, some places are near the sea, some places are depressions, some places are windy and dry, some places are extremely humid, and some places are like spring all year round, for farmland, if you can't take all these into account, then the yield of farmland will be greatly reduced, and the soil will be consumed."

"Year after year, it is an incalculable loss for the country, before the action to make a plan, make regulations, and then according to the plan, in the long run, can develop agriculture, if a country only relies on war and tax collection, it can not last, the people have no food, how can they pay the full amount of taxes? Therefore, the right way to support the people is to support the people with land. ”

The quiet needle drop in the Taihe Hall could be heard, Liu Youcheng looked at Gu Banqin with a dull face, as if he had long forgotten the courtesy of the monarch and ministers to avoid suspicion, and Lord Shangshutong of the household department twisted his beard and fell into contemplation.

Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin with a complicated expression, Gu Banqin stopped them from talking, and quickly reflected on whether he had said something inappropriate and reactionary, Liu Youcheng was the first to react, and asked Gu Banqin shamelessly:

Gu Jieyu said...... Feeding the people with land? ”

Gu Banqin hesitated and nodded: "Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with using land to support the people." Otherwise, why take back the land? ”

"Yes, there is nothing wrong, the minister is just a little surprised, Gu Jieyu actually understands these things. I was just taken aback for a moment. It is indeed the best way to support the people with land, which can solve the livelihood problems of the people, and secondly, it can also allow the people to have a livelihood. ”

Liu Youcheng agreed with and explained Gu Banqin's idea.

Lord Tobe Shangshu Tong also appreciated this:

"Yes, the minister also thinks that Gu Jieyu is right, if it is determined today, but the life of the common people is not easy, in the past, there were scholars in various places to control the land, and now there is just a trend of recycling, the scholars are in turmoil, the people are uneasy, it is the time to vigorously develop agriculture, agriculture is prosperous, and the country can prosper."

Gu Banqin felt that Tobe-sama's words were to the point:

"That's right, Master Tong said very well, the first condition for the development of the country is to develop agriculture, the people take food as the sky, if every family has a full meal, there is a good life, the country can be peaceful."

Minister Fang's grade is not high, but when he heard this, he also had the courage to express his opinion:

"The minister is soft-spoken, but he also thinks that what Gu Jieyu said is very reasonable, now there are many fertile fields, and the temperature differences in various places should not be unified, and the regions should be different, but how to distinguish them, no one has completely studied them so far, and it is also difficult to do."

Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi again, handed him the information she had written these days in her sleeve pocket, and said sincerely:

"Your Majesty, this is a summary written by the concubines who have been sleepless for the past two days, there are many imperfections, and they have to discuss in detail with the practical personnel, but in terms of regional differentiation, the concubines really can't imagine out of thin air, everything has a practical basis, the concubines know that the mountains and rivers landform map is a military secret, and they shouldn't ask to see it, but these regional divisions, it's really not okay to look at it, and ask the emperor to be accommodating."

Helian Hongyi took the thick stack of paper handed over by Gu Banqin, all written on it were some crop details, planting essentials, so many types, it must indeed be written out without sleep.

For Gu Banqin to work so hard, Helian Hongyi's heart was complicated, and when he looked up at her, he saw that her big eyes were full of anticipation, and Liu Youcheng and Master Tong also asked him for this, and it seemed that he was somewhat convinced of what Gu Banqin said.

Helian Hongyi handed the information back to Gu Banqin, and then raised his hand and said to Gu Banqin in a deep voice:

"That's right."

Gu Banqin cautiously followed Liu Youcheng into the inner hall of the Taihe Palace, which had never been set foot by a woman.

The expected grandeur still gave Gu Banqin a great visual impact, this inner hall was very large but not empty, just the books on the shelves on both sides were amazing enough.

After entering the inner hall, Liu Youcheng took the initiative to take Gu Banqin to the left side of the screen, and there was an extremely grand three-dimensional surrounding mountain and river landform map carved from cedar wood, and small flags were inserted in every place.

The name of the place was written on the flag, and after Gu Banqin turned around from left to right, he finally saw the territory of Daqi clearly.

From north to south, Tongguan in the north is like a natural barrier, there are Dali in the south, and Xinjiang in the south, no matter how the history changes, how the place name changes, but there is still some understanding of the climate valley Banqin in various places.

She flattened out the materials she had put together on a large rosewood table, then picked up a pen on the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and began to record it from Jiankang City, where she is now.

Gu Banqin looked at it extremely carefully, and it seemed that every place had to be considered for a long time, and then put down a record, Liu Youcheng and they thought that Gu Banqin was just taking a look, who knew that she had not been good after watching it for so long.

Helian Hongyi finished the recital, and walked in, and saw Gu Banqin still looking there, writing, and sometimes drawing something in mid-air with a pen, with a solemn expression, which is very different from the heartlessness and lungs on weekdays.

Such a Gu Banqin, Helian Hongyi has never seen it.

After entering the inner hall, Helian Hongyi's gaze kept falling on Gu Banqin, and he didn't move away at all, until he sat down, Liu Youcheng handed him a cup of hot tea, and Helian Hongyi reacted.

Liu Youcheng pointed to Gu Banqin and asked Helian Hongyi in a low voice:

"Niangniang actually knows how to look at mountains and rivers, did the emperor teach her?"

Helian Hongyi lifted the lid of the teacup, looked down at the tea inside, and after taking a sip, he shook his head, which was regarded as answering Liu Youcheng's question, and Liu Youcheng couldn't help but be speechless: "If it wasn't for the emperor's professor, could it be taught by Gu Xiang?" ”

After saying this, Liu Youcheng denied this possibility: "No, it won't be taught by Gu Xiang, don't talk about teaching Niangniang, maybe even he won't look at this mountain and river map." ”
