Chapter 362: The Mother Emperor's Past
Xia Zhu: "Back then, she made a private visit to the private micro-service to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials. When she came to our family's field, it was my mother who entertained her. In order to survey the entire farmland and mountainous area, she walked around the entire mountainous area. As a result, on the way, I met a little girl sitting in a dry well at the foot of the mountain and crying. ”
I calculated Xia Zhu's age, and the fox asked, "This little girl, shouldn't she be an old lady?" ”
Xia Zhu took my hand: "It's Daxue, that stupid child!" ”
"Ah......h
"At that time, Daxue was three years old, and he liked to run around, and then he got lost. I hadn't farmed yet, and I hated it. But my mother must let me plant it, otherwise she will cut off my monthly money. In order to eat and drink well for myself, I searched for wild hawthorn trees all over the mountains and made sugar gourds to sell in the market. When I got home that day, I found that the child was missing, and I was so anxious that I gave myself a few ear scrapers at that time. How old are they, why are they still like children? There are 100 acres of fertile land, and it is not good to farm, what kind of sugar gourd to sell. ”
"So, did the Mother Queen get the snow back?"
"Yes, at that time, when Her Majesty the Empress came back with heavy snow, I knelt down for her at that time, and said that in the future, I will definitely repay the kindness when I go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire. But at that time, I didn't know that this woman with extraordinary gestures was our Majesty the Empress. It wasn't until many years later that she reappeared and said that something important had been entrusted to me......"
Xia Zhu talked about the past with a lot of emotion.
"Old lady, what does this edict mean? Was the edict useful only when the country was in danger? "I'm curious.
"It's not. I heard from His Majesty that before she ascended the throne, she was also asked by the Emperor Taishang to travel to the people. An emperor who wants to rule the country, how can he not understand the world she has? It's like when we farm the land, how can we not understand the condition of the land? In the spring and autumn harvests, if we can't go in person, we should send reliable tenants to check the status of these crops at any time. ”
It turns out that this is how the edict was used.
I nodded: "What the old lady said is very true. But I'm still very confused, if I just observe the lives of ordinary people, why do I have to have an edict? ”
"I don't know what other people are like. But as soon as you find that sentence and come to me, you have the right to use the grain in a granary. ”
"A granary full of grain?!" While I was excited, I asked worriedly, "But the Xia family has to pay taxes, and they have to pay to the current imperial court." And how much food can be grown in the previous drought? ”
Xia Zhu lowered his voice: "Do you think the Xia family only has one granary?" Do you think that after only one year of no rain, you can cut off the business of the Xia family's Liangtian? ”
"Really?"
Xia Zhu gestured to three: "Three." Two large ones and one small. The small one is for us to store our own grain, and the big one is controlled by the soldiers of the imperial court, which is considered to be the imperial court. The other is exclusive to the royal family. ”
The Xia family had a total of three granaries, which were divided between the east of Yanju and the west of the city. The warehouse is filled with stale rice, and a granary is full, which can provide a year's worth of food for the nation's army.
I was shocked: "No one has ever found out?" ”
"Who dare?" Xia Zhule patted the back of my hand, "This was secretly built by your mother back then, spending a lot of money." Moreover, the surrounding mountains were changed to terraces, which was also done by His Majesty. ”
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
