"It's a natural disaster......

After sending the ministers out of the main hall, Li Shimin returned to the place where he had reviewed the recitals, picked up a book of recitals, but couldn't read it.

During this period, the number of mentions of locust plagues in various localities has gradually increased, and when various high-ranking officials came to talk about things just now, they also mentioned it a lot.

Most of the people and officials believed that natural disasters were a reflection of the moral behavior of the rulers, that is, the emperor's virtue was tested by heaven.

Those apprentices of Confucius also published a lot of articles on this situation.

In the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism was no longer a simple Confucianism, adding a lot of metaphysical elements, and Wei Wei only said that it was fully integrated.

Now with the introduction of Buddhism, the spirit in it has also been absorbed by Confucianism.

Although the son is silent and the strange force is confused, the belief and fear of heaven and earth are the best explanation for the general explanation, and they have no way to explain the situation.

For the common people and officials, sticking chopsticks on the rice is tantamount to worshipping and attracting ghosts and gods.

In ordinary times, the common people and officials do not want ghosts and gods to come.

Even the emperor could not break away from the belief in ghosts and gods.

"The arrival of locusts and the phenomenon of drought, does it really mean that we have lost our morality?"

He had already driven all the eunuchs out.

Under the circumstance that no one saw it, Li Shimin's face turned pale.

He looked up and asked the heavens, but the heavens did not give him any answer.

"Teacher, what is this golden thing? It's really delicious, it tastes good, it feels like meat, but I've never eaten such delicious meat. ”

"Eat more if it's delicious, these meats are not valuable, there are a lot of them recently, I let people catch them, so that you can eat them." It's a little troublesome to fry these oils, but fortunately frying them in lard tastes particularly good, and you don't have to use vegetable oil. ”

For Fan Jingjing, getting a vegetable oil in this era is more troublesome than lard.

The Tang Dynasty was not without vegetable oil, and the common sense that sesame seeds can be squeezed out of oil has been known.

The hand-ordered sequence is really time-consuming and labor-intensive for people of this era.

Although Fan Jingjing gave the gears to the blacksmith Jiang and installed a waterwheel, using the principle of gears and levers to do a lot of work.

But every job needs to replace the corresponding materials, although the manpower at this time is cheap, and everyone's requirement is only to be able to eat and dress warmly, Fan Jingjing still feels that the speed is a little slower.

However, for the people in the Fan family's farm, this is enough to make them feel strange, they grind the millet into flour, and then send it to the grass market to sell, one bag of millet can be exchanged for five bags of millet back, Fan Jingjing did not collect money from them, but when she wants to use it, she must give her the water wheel to use.

Due to the problem of the size of the water volume, the waterwheel is not built on the river, but a separate water tank is dug to ensure the stable flow of water in the water tank.

Seeing such a situation, Jiang Blacksmith also thought of the function of the waterwheel workshop for striking iron, and applied to Fan Jingjing to build a waterwheel specializing in iron-striking next to it.

"Iron striking is a polluting industry, and I don't even allow you to build your seat next to the residential area, so how can you allow you to build a waterwheel for iron striking next to the water tank? Moreover, if the iron-striking workshop stays nearby, the water source will be polluted. ”

"So what do we do? Do you want to bring the blacksmith to the mountains? There are fewer people there......"

"You're polluting the water upstream, so that our people downstream can eat your iron filings?"

"We need a waterwheel, we can't build gears, we can't use ......"

Fan Jingjing felt that she had encountered a major problem in the industrial era.

The need for the blacksmith to increase his ability to strike iron is to be encouraged, and the use of a waterwheel to increase his ability to strike iron is not a big problem.

The problem is that if they bring the workshop next to the water, it will produce water pollution.

With the current scale of the blacksmithing workshop, even if there is a little pollution, it will become clean again under the self-purification ability of the water, which is not a big problem.

However, she could expect that the blacksmith's striking would be expanded.

Putting an industrial area and a living area together is a very unsuccessful thing.

Even the workers in the workshop need to live.

For them, it is more convenient to live nearby.

It was not feasible to move the workshop to the mountains, as it would pollute their water supply.

She felt that he had to investigate the water source, prohibit people from polluting the water source, and divert the water from a high enough place to form artesian water.

Even though she now has more than 100 people, Fan Jingjing still feels that this is a huge project and must be postponed.

There are so many things she wants to do, manpower, food, and money are limited.

In the initial stage of capital accumulation, wealth does not accumulate if she does not focus on production.

There is no way to do more without accumulating wealth.

Money is the most important thing in any era.

Even Emperor Zhenguan was often worried about money. Of course, for the emperor, money could be replaced with grain.

Ironsmiths, wherever they are placed, will pollute downstream water sources.

Even if it is placed at the mouth of the sea, it will pollute the sea.

In this day and age, it is too difficult to do pollution purification work.

Fan Jingjing had no choice but to ask them to investigate a river, which had no farmland downstream and no one to live in.

"You can build your workshops in such places."

Fan Jingjing thought about it, there was no way, she could only make such a decision, of course, no matter where the workshop was built, it still had to be built on Fan Jingjing's land.

Fortunately, the land that the emperor gave to Fan Jingjing was very large.

He probably didn't expect that even half a catty of hilly wasteland could be well developed.

You know, there is no shortage of tigers, leopards, bears, and wild boars.

In particular, the existence of wild boars has made this place open up into fields, almost providing food for wild boars, and everyone is not optimistic.

Even now, everyone is still not optimistic.

It's just that Fan Jingjing actually set up a royal academy on this land.

When royal children are to move in, safety is of course the most important thing.

Although Fan Jingjing didn't say it, within the scope of the academy, within a hundred miles, the beasts had already been cleaned up.

Of course, Fan Jingjing's land is not so big, but as long as the land is cleared and developed, it can be declared to the government, and it will become your land, which can be sold to other people or sold back to the government.

However, according to the rent adjustment method, the money they have to pay is calculated according to the Dingkou. But there are not many people in Fan Jingjing's hands.

Most of the women and children and the elderly who are considered to be ineffective make up the majority.

However, Fan Jingjing did not let go of the old man and the child, as long as the old man and child could still move, she would make a contribution to the production.

The elderly and children, if they work in the fields according to the ancient method, may not produce enough value for them to eat.

However, Fan Jingjing dismantled the work and let everyone work collectively. In this way, everyone will be able to do what they can afford.

The tools provided by Fan Jingjing do not need to be made by one person.

There are points for these labors, and after completing the labor, you can get a wooden plaque only the size of your thumb with Sun Erlang.

Then they can follow the wooden plaque to receive food, as well as some household items.

At the same time, Sun Erlang also learned the skills of making cement and began to help everyone build houses.

There is a benefit to being in charge of this work, because it is building a house for everyone.

Everyone also hopes that his house can be built well and there will be no problems, so Sun Erlang is very easy to manage when he manages.

Even those children can only live in a large dormitory for the time being, and the arrangement for building a house is the last, and they will be built, but the children are also very well-behaved when they see Sun Erlang, and Sun Erlang will try his best to do his work.

Sun Erlang's words are better than Fan Jingjing's.

"The children don't know that the house was given to them by me, not by Sun Erlang."

Although Fan Jingjing muttered in her mouth, she did not correct the concept of these children.

At the end of their studies, children always like to go to the area where the house is built to help.

Although they could only do some simple things, Fan Jingjing asked Sun Erlang to find him as much as possible to do for them.

"If they have a share of the house, let them do it themselves, and we'll just keep an eye on it.

There are risks in everything, and you can't deny them access just because there's a risk. Just explain to them where the risks are, what the risks are, and what kind of behavior they should have.

Those who do not obey will not be allowed to come into contact, and even accept punishment. They punish whatever they are afraid of. ”

The school and the school dormitory are also being built at the same time.

However, it is not with Fan Jingjing's manpower. Instead, they sent out the men who were going to be the prisoners, and they built them much faster.

Sun Erlang was also sent out to help them mix cement. But the formula of the cement refused to give them.

"In the future, cement can make a lot of money, and you can't just give it to them."

Sun Erlang also knew that Fan Jingjing had a lot of skills that could make money, but unfortunately there were not enough people and there were only a limited number of trustworthy people.

He also helped to see which of the 100 people could be trusted, and slowly spread the technology.

As for himself, he vowed to be the object that Fan Jingjing could trust. He is too optimistic about Fan Jingjing's future.

Fan Jingjing is a woman, not a man. The person who may marry in the future is definitely not an ordinary family.

Because of women, they are less affected by the promotion and demotion of the imperial court, and the imperial court is not afraid of women sitting big.

During his time at the Forestry Administration, he watched too many ups and downs as an official. Sometimes it's not the official who has done anything bad, but the person who is implicated. and was taken captive to the end.

Because of his proximity to Fan Jingjing, Sun Erlang knew better what kind of person Fan Jingjing needed.

Others who are his age, or older than him, find it very tiring to read and write.

When studying at night, there are often situations of dozing off, but Sun Erlang is very serious, he knows that he can't lag behind anyone in terms of studying.

In this way, the position of the future butler can really fall into his hands.

The first person to approach Fan Jingjing has enough ability, and he is literate, who does the housekeeper choose if he doesn't choose?

If there really is someone else, it is probably only an outsider.

Fan Jingjing really didn't like them to call her master, she would think it was very much like a slave owner. And in this era, there is no name for Miss, not to mention that Miss has become synonymous with a certain profession in later generations.

So Fan Jingjing combined the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty and asked everyone to call her, big lady.

"Big lady, the palace sent someone...... I'm not qualified to talk to them, so I'll have to ask the lady to come to the front. ”

"They are also ordinary people, not to mention that they came to me, and you represent my goalkeeper, you shouldn't answer, do you want them to wait dumbly?"

"Oh, I'll know next time. Now ......."

"I'll get out! See what's going on with them...... It's not a school day either? ”

After having more than 100 people, Fan Jingjing rarely stayed in Chang'an, and the prince and princess had no excuse to run to her Chang'an home.

Among them, the most complaining is probably Li Chengqian, because Li Chengqian wants to go out of the city, it is not so easy, at least it will take more time.

In the past, the Huangzhuang where Fan Jingjing and Niu Shijin lived was not far from Chang'an City, and it only took a quarter of an hour to get there.

Where you are now, you can't get there without half an hour. Since the beginning of the spring, Li Chengqian's schoolwork pressure has become heavier and heavier, and it is even more difficult to come up with it.

"Your time is precious, what Teacher Fan teaches, if you want to learn, let Lizhi teach you, Lizhi's grades have always been good, probably not biased. If there is any problem, when it comes to the holiday, you can ask Teacher Fan again. ”

Empress Changsun did not agree with Li Chengqian's behavior of wanting to go out again.

Royal education has always been harsh on the eldest son. In order to be able to deal with the hundred officials of the imperial court, Confucian knowledge must be able to answer the same questions as the hundred officials.

If the prince does not learn and does not know how to do it, when he becomes the emperor in the future, he will also be looked down upon by hundreds of officials.

What's more, Li Chengqian suffers from foot disease, and he is already significantly weaker than Li Shimin in martial arts, and he can no longer appear weak in academics.

Therefore, Empress Changsun's requirements for Li Chengqian are still quite high.

For Empress Changsun, the knowledge taught by Fan Jingjing is practical learning, but for the crown prince who will become the emperor in the future, what is there to do by himself? Empress Changsun thought that Li Chengqian only needed to learn to distinguish between right and wrong.

The knowledge of the entire court officials is almost all the skills of Confucian academic speech, that is, they must be able to see through the twists and turns in Confucian academics, and the entire program of governing the country is inseparable from Confucianism, so Li Chengqian needs to learn the poetry and songs of the subset of classics and history.

And he had to learn to look at these things from a different perspective.

In general, only the emperor could be worthy of the prince's teacher.

However, unless the emperor feels that he is not too old and urgently needs to cultivate inheritors, he is generally not willing to inherit the method of becoming an emperor.

In fact, everyone who becomes an emperor has their own set of methods, because no one's character is exactly the same, even if it is the personality of father and son, it can be seen that the personality of the emperor is not the same at all, and few dynasties can maintain the same style.

"The palace summoned Fan Jingjing to enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor."
