and saw a dark red door closed.

On the left and right sides of it, there are two portraits of fierce and vicious people, whose names are unknown, but they are only used to add pressure to the people who enter the door; This new official reward and punishment mechanism for officials, that is, an alternative official evaluation system, was not actually proposed by the Twelfth Prince Sima Zhan on a whim, but he had a basic idea in his heart.

Speaking of which, this idea still depends on Sima Jingling's assessment of the twelfth prince Sima Zhan.

Although Sima Jingling didn't seem to care too much about the twelve princes, as if she was just to complete the entrustment of the prince, she was paying attention to all aspects of the life and study of the twelve princes.

Her attitude of being detached is really a little confusing.

The Twelve Princes naturally thought that Sima Jingling cared about him and paid attention to him, so he worked very hard in his usual homework and tried not to cause trouble to Sima Jingling in his daily life.

His actions did add a lot of goodwill to Sima Jingling's heart.

However, the good impression in Sima Jingling's heart is not because the twelve princes are very active in expanding themselves and tapping their potential to please her, but because the appearance of the twelve princes is a very interesting person in Sima Jingling's eyes.

Although most people in Nan Yuguo may not believe it when they say it, Sima Jingling is actually a person who hates trouble.

Her greatest wish is actually that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and live their own little life in harmony and beauty and sweetness, instead of being in all kinds of struggles every day, or for power, or for power.

However, this beautiful vision in Sima Jingling's heart is still difficult to realize under the overall environment of the current Southern Imperial Kingdom.

Sima Jingling doesn't know how much to sigh for this kind of thing every day, but in the blink of an eye, she is still talking and laughing, and she seems to be lazy and uninhibited every day.

Although she didn't have any special feelings for the Twelve Princes, she would still occasionally mention a few words to him because of the reason that the Twelve Princes made her feel comfortable.

That day happened to coincide with Sima Jingling's idle day when she was bored, so she thought about it and took Ah Cheng out of the palace to find the twelve princes.

The Twelve Princes had just finished a day's study, and Sima Jingling took a whim to investigate what the Twelve Princes had learned from the teacher.

After the Twelve Princes retold the theories they learned in class, they added some of their own thoughts, letting Sima Jingling know that the Twelve Princes were not only learning the theories taught by the teacher, or remembering the articles in the books, but also really integrating them into their own thinking.

This kind of performance made Sima Jingling's heart more satisfied.

No one doesn't like self-working and motivated people, and Sima Jingling certainly does the same.

After she really felt the studious and hard work of the Twelve Princes, she thought of some of her plans at the moment, and pretended to do her homework in the classroom and told the Twelve Princes.

Sima Jingling looked at the twelve princes in front of her, who were still a little inexplicably restrained in front of her, but had already had a mature demeanor, chuckled, and asked casually:

"Little Twelve, you've been studying for so long, and you must have done a lot of articles and arguments. Now there is a question here in this palace, I don't know what you can do about it? ”

The Twelve Princes pursed their lips when they heard this, looking a little nervous, but their eyes were full of eager anticipation.

Sima Jingling understood when she saw it.

So the smile on her face became brighter, and with her fingertips as the pen and the tea as the ink, she drew a long line in front of the stone case in front of her, and said:

"The territory is wide, the river is fine, what is it?"

The Twelve Princes pondered: "Vegetation is raised, diverted and diverted, and dredged to be used moderately." ”

Sima Jingling asked again: "Why don't you dig deep into the water system?" ”

The Twelfth Prince shook his head and said to Sima Jingling: "The river system is already immature, and if it is excavated and mined, it will aggravate its weakness. ”

After Sima Jingling heard this, she took her finger and drew a lot of houses on both sides of this line.

"What if people gather on both sides of the river and depend on the river for their livelihood, and it is difficult to sustain themselves with a moderate amount of water? What about local officials? ”

The Twelve Princes seemed to have been thinking for a longer time this time, and after a while, they slowly said to Sima Jingling:

This kind of problem has been troubled for a long time.

In the government, repair the embankment beams, pass the ditch, walk the water, and settle the water, and decide the plug in time, although the year is fierce and the flood and drought, so that the people have something to do; Giving land and dwelling utensils, and ploughs, oxen, seeds, and food, or reducing taxes more than taxes and grains, are exempted.

For the official, the party must bow to the family, mulberry farming, change agricultural technology, every year, wind and drought impermanence, so after the rain, must use hoeing to open the soil, seeds and roots, cover the earth's shade, so that the dampness is not dissipated, the roots are deep, often nourished, the natural grass body is strong, wind and drought are resistant, is the seed of the work and dry wind and drought also.

The improved varieties are dry and drought tolerant, and the buckwheat is food and clothing, which is to maintain. ”

The Twelve Princes turned what they saw in the book into their own thoughts, and answered Sima Jingling's question very seriously.

His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was constantly refining his thoughts in the process of thinking, but the amount of thinking and the aspects that he could mention now were already surprising.

Although there was no obvious exclamation on Sima Jingling's face, her eyes became brighter and brighter, which clearly exposed Sima Jingling's thoughts.

She didn't say that the Twelve Princes were so in line with her mind, but this kind of rapid growth still gave birth to a trace of satisfaction in Sima Jingling's heart.

Such a rapid rate of progress should really make Sima Zhao, Sima Ke, Sima Wen and others ashamed.

Faced with Sima Jingling's problem, the Twelve Princes did not take it for granted to solve the problem that the river was weak and not big enough, and took it for granted that since the river was fine, then they would continue to dig deep and wide, but find a way to use natural and some magical things to transform.

The concept of vegetation warming and water system was put forward in the previous dynasty, but not many people paid attention to it at that time, after all, the world was too chaotic at that time, and every day was either in the war or on the way to the battlefield, and there was really no other time to sort out whether the idea of vegetation warming the riverbed to widen the riverbed and increase the flow of water could be implemented.

Fortunately, this theory was not lost in the frequent wars, and the manuscript was still left behind, and it was passed on to the ancestors of the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

The ancestors of the Southern Imperial Kingdom laid down the country, so it is natural to stabilize the country.

This manuscript left behind naturally became something that the ancestors of the Southern Imperial Kingdom attached great importance to.

He immediately sent someone to find out whether this method was useful, and it took a small area to test it first.

In this area, the ancestors of the Southern Imperial Kingdom also chose to be very skillful.

First of all, this area should not be divided too large, because the growth of vegetation is not an overnight thing, and if the area is divided too large, it may not be able to witness its effect for the rest of its life.

Secondly, the rivers in this area should not be too wide, not too small, not too dry, and not too tyrannical.

Finally, the vegetation around the watershed in this area is not perfect, and it has not formed a complete set of survival relationships.

Once these three conditions go down, it is difficult to find an area that meets the requirements, and it is easy to say that it is simple.

However, at that time, the ancestor was a military general, and the people who followed him were all military generals and soldiers who were forbidden by order, and what the ancestor said, these people would carry it out without objection, so the area that met the three requirements put forward by the ancestor was quickly found.

The ancestors of the Southern Imperial Kingdom were very selective, and rewarded these subordinates with a big prize, and then sent people to test according to the content of the manuscript left behind.

In this experiment, a surprise was discovered.

By the fifth year, the rivers in the region had changed significantly, and ten years later, the river basin had widened considerably.

The ancestors were so excited that they prepared to start the second step of the plan, which was to actually start practicing this method of vegetation in the western part of the river.

Unfortunately, this method had just paid off, and the ancestor died.

The successive emperors of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, although they did not make any mistakes in governing the country, even continued to grow the Southern Imperial Kingdom and became the leading power in the surrounding countries.

However, the governance of the western extension side has not been carried out effectively.

Speaking of which, the reason is that this side is too far away from the capital.

If the distance is too far, there will be the idea that local officials will deceive the upper and lower levels, and the emperor will not be able to control him.

So what happened to Xiyan, the Son of Heaven is actually difficult to understand.

Even if you send someone to Xiyan to understand the situation, you will be directly fooled, and you will not be able to find out what the truth is in Xiyan.

The problem of Xiyan dragged on for a long time, until the time of Emperor Jing, who vigorously rectified the local area, but with the rise of the family's power, the place of Xiyan has become a territory for several families to compete for.

Although this place is remote, it borders other countries and is extremely rich in mineral resources.

Although this kind of iron ore and copper ore and other mineral deposits belong to the entire country of Nangoku, it does not mean that others will not fight its idea.

As a result, Xiyan has become a place where all forces want to get involved.

It's a pity that these people only think about the mineral deposits here, but they don't pay attention to the people here.

They are still living in a situation where they can't fill their stomachs all the time, and the only river here is already overused and drying up because of the stranding of the vegetated river conservation plan.

The severe drought in the western extension of the past few days is the result of a combination of these reasons.

This drought is said to be a natural disaster, but in fact it is also a man-made disaster.

If it weren't for the fact that these courtiers in Xiyan always wanted to be a local emperor who was not controlled by anyone, and did a good job of local construction, then Xiyan would not have had such a serious drought.

If these officials in the west had not failed to do anything in the event of a drought, the people would not have starved to death, and there would not have been so many refugees.

The door is dark red overall, and the rivets on the door look like they have some mottled rust, giving it an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Coupled with the plaque that looked extremely upright, ordinary people were indeed frightened as soon as they entered the door.

After Princess An Ning carefully looked up and down the torture hall, she motioned to Yongxiang Ling to knock on the door, and she stood behind and approached Ah Pu.

From a distance, it looked like he was leaning on Agui's arms.

Huang Menling smiled and accepted Princess An Ning's order, and turned around with a somewhat bitter face.

However, he didn't dare to delay Princess Anning's orders, stepped forward, and gently buckled it according to the previous rules.

There was a "squeak" and the door opened.

It's just that the door is only staggered by a crack and is not fully opened.

A head protruded from the crack in the door, with a very bad face, and asked very sternly, "Who is it?" ”

Yongxiang Ling had no choice but to be careful and report his identity.

But as soon as the man in the door heard this, he lost patience, and before Yongxiang Ling finished speaking, he had to close the door at once.

Yongxiang Ling was a little anxious, seeing that he was about to complete Princess Anning's seemingly simple order, but when he saw a white shadow flashing, the staggered door could never be closed.

The people inside the door were furious, "Who are you to dare to obstruct the Torture Palace!" ”

Apo smiled on his face, but he didn't give an inch under his feet,

"This steward has such a big face, and he didn't even greet Her Royal Highness Princess An Ning."

"Princess? What are you talking about? The man in the door sneered impatiently, and said to Ah Pu, "The princess's daughter, how could you come to such a place, you are really your grandfather, I am new to this palace, and I don't understand anything in this palace?"

Besides, do you think anyone can come to this place? What about Princess Anning, even if the king of heaven is here, she has to act according to the rules of the torture hall. You hurry up and let go, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. ”

The anger in Ah Gou's heart gradually jumped up by this man, but the smile on his face was even worse. Not only was his foot stuck in the door secretly exerting force, but his hands were in a stalemate with the people inside the door, and neither party would let anyone.

"Let this palace listen, which adult is so big that he doesn't even pay attention to this palace." The corners of Princess Anning's mouth hooked slightly, and she slowly walked to the door, and walked to a place where the person inside the door could definitely see,

"You really don't know the rules of the torture hall, but the palace knows the rules of the palace. Those who are disrespectful to the palace will speak disrespectfully and pull out their tongues to show punishment; Those who turn a blind eye to the main palace will be punished by gouging their eyes; Those who listen to the words of the palace and do not obey them will scratch their ears to demonstrate solemnity.

Count it yourself, how many have you broken, the rules of this palace? ”

The person inside the door obviously didn't expect Princess An Ning to really be here, and his mind was turbulent for a moment. But at this moment, he was caught by Apo.

With a vigorous lift, he directly grabbed the people in the door, so that the people in the door had no chance to react at all.

He looked at the people who fell to the ground in embarrassment, smiled brightly, and said to them very "intimately": "When I saw His Highness, I saluted at that time." This son can be regarded as exempting you from the step of kneeling and bowing on your own. ”

Princess An Ning did not stop Ah Pu, but looked condescendingly at the steward who fell out of the door, and said in a very soft voice:

"It seems that you have made a choice, then this palace is about to do it."
