Chapter 3 First Sight of Kangxi

Martai Ruoxi is a very restless master, and Ming Yu Gege both fell into the water, Lin Feng and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang rescued the two, and then I don't know which rumor, Maltai Ruoxi has the title of "desperate thirteen sisters", and the interesting thing is that Kangxi once personally named the thirteenth elder brother as "desperate thirteen lang".

Whether it was the hype of someone with a heart, or whether it was unintentionally spread, Lin Feng did not know.

At this time, in the Xinuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was reviewing the chapter, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, and when Kangxi was reviewing the chapter, he was not used to being disturbed by others. Unlike Lin Feng, when he was a child, he couldn't do his homework without putting on the TV.

Kangxi, surnamed Aixin Jueluo and named Xuanye, was the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Kangxi, who was born in the former Qing Dynasty when the Manchu and Han cultures clashed and fused, had a broad vision and outstanding courage that was different from that of previous emperors.

However, the era in which he lived was the era of the embryonic development of Western capitalism, and China, although the economic form of the factory appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and capitalism had a certain germination, some economic measures of the Kangxi Emperor still curbed this economic budding trend to a certain extent, so that China did not take the free ride of capitalist development, missed the excellent opportunity for the primitive accumulation of capital, and stepped into the humiliating history of semi-feudal and semi-colonial.

The Qing Dynasty was an imperial dynasty that developed centralization to the peak, and although the Kangxi Emperor learned from both China and the West, he still chose a policy of emphasizing agriculture over commerce.

"Li Dequan, is Huang Ama here?" Lin Feng asked outside the door, although his voice was very soft, it was still very clear in the Xinuan Pavilion where the needle could be heard.

Kangxi knew that it was Yinzhen when he heard it, and he still loved Lao Fourteen very much in his heart, but his personality was not very calm.

"Fourteen, come in if you have something." Kangxi said loudly inside.

Lin Feng glanced at Li Dequan and nodded when he heard Kangxi call him, and walked in, he came here to talk to Kangxi about building his own mansion, and there are still many inconveniences in living in the palace.

saw Kangxi head-on, and found that Kangxi looked majestic, sitting in danger of reviewing the chapter. Looking at the face again, there are obviously many spots, it is said that this is caused by smallpox when Kangxi was young, and then look at his sideburns, this Kangxi is also a person who loves beauty, let the people of the world go to the sideburns to keep pig's tail braids, but he keeps the sideburns, and he also knows the beauty and ugliness.

"Fourteen, what's the matter with me? You all went to the house of the eighth child to celebrate the birthday of the tenth child? Kangxi, as a father, asked, but there was no benefit for Lin Feng to sit and talk back.

As soon as Lin Feng heard it, he knew that Kangxi had regarded him as a party of the eighth master, and said with a smile: "Huang Ama, the old nine and the tenth have invited all the elder brothers, I also wanted to give the tenth brother a happy birthday in the past, and the tenth brother was also very happy on this birthday." "Lin Feng's implication is that I am not a party of the Eighth Elder Brothers, but the Old Nine and Ten Elder Brothers, and it was they who invited our group of elder brothers to celebrate their birthdays in the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion.

After Lin Feng answered Kangxi's questions about it, he was just about to continue, when he heard Kangxi say: "Lao Shi has already entered the palace and told me about this matter. also said that your old fourteenth was rated as both civil and military by the eighth, and your martial arts and military art are unforgivable among the brothers, but do you like to read now? What kind of books do you read? ”

It turned out that Kangxi's heart knot was here, and Lin Feng must have been praised by Lao Shi's unobstructed mouth, and he was jealous of Kangxi here. The title of "Desperate Thirteen Sisters" may have been made by him.

"Back to Huang Ama, I did read some miscellaneous books recently, but there were some questions that no one could answer for me, so I thought of Huang Ama, but I didn't expect Huang Ama to be reviewing the chapters, I don't know if Huang Ama has time." Lin Feng explained his intentions, and happened to answer Kangxi's words, where did he not know what Kangxi was doing, Kangxi had become a habit to review the recital at this hour.

The books of the Kangxi Han people are very good, "If you don't teach, your father's fault!" "I also know, so I put down my pen, on the one hand, listening to Lin Feng's own meaning that it was not the Eighth Master Party made him feel a little comfortable, and on the other hand, I also wanted to see what kind of problem Lin Feng encountered.

"Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and now the world is stable under the governance of Huang Ama, so the population is growing at a rate of three to five million every year, and the newly cultivated land is extremely limited, and in the long run, the contradiction between food and population will inevitably become a major heart disease of the imperial court." When Kangxi heard that Lin Feng was actually discussing agriculture with him, he was a little interested, and motioned for Lin Feng to sit down, wanting to see what different ideas he had.

Although Kangxi ordered that land was not allowed at Lin Feng's age, the phenomenon of land annexation was still very serious, the people in the world were not rich, and they would sell their homes and land when they encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters, and businessmen were suppressed by the imperial court and used their property to buy land. Although the phenomenon of land annexation is still within the acceptable range now, it may indeed become a major problem for the imperial court in the long run, as Lin Feng said.

"So how do you solve this problem? Since the amount of land reclaimed is limited, is it necessary to curb population growth? There are traps in Kangxi's words, in fact, he has thought about the question raised by Lin Feng for a long time, but he has not gained anything, if Lin Feng wants to propose a "Ding reduction policy", then he will not be interested in listening to it.

Lin Feng thanked Li Dequan for the tea he sent, and calculated in his heart that if he wanted to build his own mansion, he would inevitably make Kangxi happy, and as soon as Kangxi was happy, this "reward" would come down. Kangxi looked at Lin Feng, also picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and continued to listen carefully to what Lin Feng wanted to say.

"The strength of a large number of people is great, and the population of a country is the guarantee for the orderly operation of all walks of life. Erchen believes that if we can increase the yield of seeds, so that everyone in the world can have enough to eat, and the family has more than enough every year, we can be harmonious and stable in the Qing Dynasty. The cultivation of seeds requires a large number of agricultural talents, but our dynasty is the most lacking in such talents, and the reason for this is because of the deposition of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism since the beginning of the Han Dynasty. The peasants, on the other hand, are very few literate and rely only on experience in farming.

Today's agricultural works are all written by predecessors, and the words of one family have certain one-sidedness and limitations. 'Tangerine is orange in the south of Huai, and orange is orange in the north of Huai. 'My territory in the Qing Dynasty is vast, and the land of the capital is also characterized by four distinct seasons, where to plant what kind of seeds to increase yield, to introduce new crops in the barbarian places, and whether it can become high-yield things in the land of my Great Qing Dynasty, all of which need to be studied. Erchen wondered if it would be possible to establish such a department specializing in seed research and train specialized agricultural personnel. ”

Kangxi listened carefully to what Lin Feng said, and was a little pensive. But there was a kind of joy in his facial expressions.

Lin Feng saw that Kangxi seemed to be happy, and continued: "Now the grain-producing areas of the Qing Dynasty can be divided into two parts, north and south, and a place specializing in agronomy can be established in the north and south, so that some scholars who are interested in agriculture can enter here to exchange learning and increase experience.

For these people who are not good at learning Confucius and Mencius, they will be given a certain official status in the future, and those who have made outstanding contributions to agriculture will be given heavy rewards, so that the two-pronged approach will definitely set off an agricultural fever, agriculture-oriented, agriculture will be prosperous, and the Qing Dynasty will be prosperous, and there will be no rebellion because there are peasants who do not have enough to eat, so it is also to lay the foundation for future generations. ”

Kangxi looked a little excited after Lin Feng's words, paced left and right in front of the case, glanced at Lin Feng carefully, nodded and was very satisfied, and said yes in a loud voice.

Lin Feng hurriedly stood up and said humbly: "Erchen doesn't dare to be a minister, Erchen is just talking on paper now, and the specific actions still need Huang Ama to strategize, Erchen is naΓ―ve, and I hope that Huang Ama Haihan." ”

"Old Fourteen doesn't have to be modest, it seems that you can read this book better than many people, apply what you have learned, and do a good job of learning things." Kangxi continued to praise.

Lin Feng saw that Kangxi was excited, so he said some suggestions, starting with the experimental field first, and then promoting it after it was effective, and giving the agricultural personnel an official position for several years, an assessment score, etc., and so on.

Kangxi stroked his beard and was more satisfied, and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, it is not easy for you to make such a suggestion at your age." If you weren't my son, I might have been able to make you a soldier. ”

As soon as Lin Feng was modest, Kangxi continued: "Old Fourteen, do you say that it is good to add another Ministry of Agriculture to the Sixth Department?" ”
