Chapter 107: Transformation 2

Since the founding of the Qianjin Kingdom, there has been no precedent for men to participate in politics.

Feng Jingchen appeared on the main hall of the court, even Xiang Mingcheng, who wholeheartedly supported the new emperor, could not accept it.

"Good question"

Looking at the civil and military officials standing below, all with doubts and disapproval on their faces, Feng Zi couldn't help but feel that her decision was correct again,

There was no shortage of wise men among these courtiers, but none of them thought about how narrow their own thinking was.

In this case, she must wake them up,

Feng Zi continued, "I brought the Ten Princes to the Taihe Hall today to inform you that from today onwards, the Ten Princes will go to the court with me every day and discuss state affairs together."

After finishing speaking, the officials and courtiers who had finally quieted down became boiling again.

They originally thought that when the Ten Princes walked into this Taihe Hall in the early dynasty, they were already too far away, but they didn't expect Her Majesty the Empress to want the Ten Princes to discuss state affairs together!!

In any case, they can't accept it!

"Your Majesty! This is not a good idea."

"Yes, Your Majesty! Never violate the ancient precepts, and men must not participate in politics......"

"Your Majesty, please think again! ……”

……

"I've made up my mind"

Feng Zi waved her hand, signaling that they didn't need to say more, she had already decided on this matter.

Uncle Huang's ability, they don't know, but she understands,

When he was in college, he had always been a scholar in their history department, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to modern times, he knew almost everything, and he himself knew many historical allusions.

“…… Your Majesty, the old minister is a rough man, except for leading troops to fight, he doesn't understand anything else, and he doesn't talk about those old ways.

Her Majesty the Empress wants to go to court with the Ten Princes, which in itself seems to be no problem, but if the Ten Princes don't know anything about the affairs of the court, wouldn't it be a mess? ”

Seeing that the empress disagreed with the officials, and was even about to compete against each other, Yan Hong, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, naturally couldn't watch it.

The new emperor is still too young, so he must be young and vigorous,

However, Her Majesty the Empress has always been concentrating on government affairs and will not mess around, so she should have her reasons for doing so, so you might as well listen to it, and maybe everyone will agree.

Her Majesty the Empress believes in the Ten Princes so much, presumably there must be something outstanding about the Ten Princes.

"General Yan is worthy of being a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he hit the key in one sentence, and sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy"

Hearing Yan Hong's words, Feng Zi immediately cast a grateful glance at her,

Just now she was a little upset by the noisy voices below, and she only strongly stated her attitude and decision, but did not explain to the courtiers why she let the imperial uncle participate in the court politics.

"Although the Ten Princes are not men, they are not inferior to any woman in terms of knowledge or ability, and of course, the same is true for the affairs of the court."

When it comes to Uncle Huang, Feng Zi is quite confident, as if she believes in Uncle Huang's ability more than herself, (in fact)

After Feng Zi finished speaking, he turned his head and nodded to Feng Jingchen beside him.

Feng Jingchen understood, stood up from a rosewood chair and stool that was temporarily added to him, and said unhurriedly, "Although this king has never set foot in the government, he also knows that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's ministers."

When the king was a monk in Tianyuan Temple, he saw too many poor people who had no harvest and no food due to floods and droughts, and the king was deeply saddened by this.

As a citizen of the Qianjin Kingdom, this king is willing to share the worries of Her Majesty the Empress and benefit the people."

This year, Feng Jingchen saw many people fleeing in Tianyuan Temple, and there were even people like his junior brother Wu Neng who were sent to the temple to survive because they couldn't eat enough at home.

If people can't even meet the problem of food and clothing, sooner or later they will complain.

Therefore, it is clear that floods and droughts are the top priorities that need to be solved urgently.

“…… Then may I ask the Ten Princes, is there a good plan? ”

Xiang Mingcheng asked,

What the Ten Princes said is indeed true,

The uneven distribution of the waters of the Qianjin Kingdom, floods and droughts occur every year, and the imperial court has a headache for this matter every year, providing disaster relief and supplies, and bothering and laborious, but there is never a solution that can completely solve the problem.

However, although he was obviously asking him if he had a good plan, in fact, Xiang Mingcheng didn't think that the Ten Princes really had a countermeasure. After all, for hundreds of years, many capable people with lofty ideals have failed to think of a good countermeasure.

Xiang Mingcheng just wanted him to retreat from the difficulties and not to participate in the government.

"Yes"

Feng Jingchen looked directly into Xiang Mingcheng's eyes and replied seriously,

If not, he wouldn't have brought this matter to this point.

“……”

Seeing Feng Jingchen's confident appearance, Xiang Mingcheng paused for a while, and no one dared to say so confidently that he had a way to solve the problem of floods and droughts.

Is this conceited? Or is there really a way?

The reaction of the other officials was almost the same as that of Xiang Mingcheng, and they were all stunned and did not discuss it again.

If the Ten Princes really have a countermeasure to this and benefit the people, then what reason do they have to oppose his participation in politics?

Seeing that these narrow-minded and corrupt officials were all frightened by Feng Jingchen's words, Feng Zi felt as if he had a sigh of joy in his heart,

In fact, she herself is also very interested in the good strategies in Feng Jingchen's mouth,

She had been the empress for some time, and she had learned that the problem of agricultural development in the Kingdom of Qianjin had been greatly affected by floods and droughts, and that this problem had to be solved in order for the people of the Kingdom to live a prosperous life.

"In flood-stricken areas, rivers and canals should be rectified, dams should be built for flood control, and if the national treasury is rich, the terrain can also be used to build underground drainage systems; In drought-stricken areas, water storage tanks should be built to store water in the rainy season, canals should be diverted for irrigation in the dry season, and water carrots should be used to expand the irrigation area."

Feng Jingchen said without thinking,

Although this is just a sentence, it seems to be effortless to say, but in fact, it draws on the wisdom and experience of our ancestors.

At that time, it was because of his admiration for the noble wisdom of his ancestors that he was obsessed with the study of history, but he did not expect that it would still come in handy here.

As soon as Feng Jingchen's words were finished, the Taihe Hall was instantly quiet and a little cold,

Halfway through, Xiang Mingcheng suddenly knelt down, with reverence and self-reproach in his voice, "...... Lord Shi, could you please personally supervise this matter? ”

She was offended just now, although she didn't know what the underground drainage system was, and she didn't know what the water drum car that the tenth prince was talking about, but after listening to what the tenth prince said, she actually felt that this method was feasible.

Then, nearly half of the officials also knelt down and said, "Please ask the Ten Princes to help with this."

Agriculture is developed, the people are rich, and the country can be strong, this is the truth that anyone understands, if the ten princes can really solve this problem, what does it matter if he is a man or a woman, as he said, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
