The next day, Fu Tinghan did not go to the field, Princess Hongnong got the answer she wanted, and she did not come again, but the ministers such as Ji Yuan, Ming Pre, Zhao Ming and Xun Fan were called.

A group of elderly ministers followed Zhao Hanzhang to plow, weed, ridge, plant, fertilize, and then cover the soil.

Zhao Hanzhang put on a cow, ploughed the land by himself, and when he was done and touched the panting cow, he changed to another cow to open the ridges, and Ji Yuan followed behind them to weed, loosen the soil, plant and fertilize.

The family background is as high as Zhao Ming and Xun Fan's farming, not to mention Ji Yuan and Ming Pre?

Most of the officials of the previous dynasty may not have been able to do farm work in the fields, but almost all the officials of this dynasty have done it, especially when Zhao Hanzhang paid attention to agriculture every year.

As officials of the imperial court, they hope that the country and the people will get better and better.

Zhao Hanzhang opened the ridge of the ground, and when she looked back, she opened the ridge alone and threw them fifteen lines.

So she untied the rope, patted the cow's buttocks, told it to graze, and swung herself to talk to them.

"Zhao Qing, how did your family usually open ridges?"

Zhao Ming said while ordering wheat seeds: "It's the same, but in the past, before changing the Quyuan plow, one person was needed to lead the ox in front, and it was difficult for one person to control the ox to support the plow." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "So Quyuan plough can at least plough for one laborer, and tenants also plow the land like this?" ”

Zhao Ming is not an official who does not eat minced meat, shook his head and said: "Use more manpower to pull the plow, generally ploughing and ridge opening require three labors, and the endurance is far less than that of ploughing oxen." ”

Ji Yuan and the others also nodded

Zhao Hanzhang: "So ploughing cattle can replace at least two laborers." ”

"Now the population is small, even if you have a child, it takes at least 16 years to raise a child to plow the land, and it only takes three years for a cow to be raised to plow the land."

Ministers: "......"

Ji Yuan: "Your Majesty's cattle farm and horse farm are unwilling to be handed over to the treasury......"

"How many cattle and horses can be produced by those cattle farms and horse farms?" Zhao Hanzhang interrupted him, "The world is so big, the people are so scattered, it is impossible to use pasture breeding to supply the cattle needed by the people." ”

Xun Fan lowered his eyes and pondered, raised his feet to bury the wheat seeds, and said: "The people are mainly family, there is a clan, and then there is a li, and then they go to the county office. ”

"Not bad," Zhao Hanzhang praised: "Mrs. Xun can see it." The cattle farms and horse farms under my name, the cattle, mules and horses that are slaughtered every year, will be heard when they are scattered, and after so many years, the speed of transmission is extremely slow, so we are on the wrong path. ”

Ji Yuan: "Your Majesty wants to encourage the people to raise their own cattle and breed cattle and horses?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

Zhao Ming: "But the people are poor, where can they afford to raise cattle and horses?" ”

"That's why I want to open cattle shops in various counties, which is the industry that belongs to the imperial court." Zhao Hanzhang said: "The cattle store not only buys and sells cattle, but also can pay and lease on credit. I had read the account books, but it was still too slow to rely on those few large cattle farms, and I decided to open the cattle market, and the imperial court would subsidize legal traders who operated cattle, mules, etc. ”

Zhao Ming asked keenly: "How is it legal?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Naturally, the price of cultivated cattle is within the price range stipulated by the imperial court. ”

Zhao Hanzhang spent a day planting a piece of wheat with the ministers, and determined the new bull market policy, which was only released after the holiday.

The next day, Zhao Hanzhang took Wang and Wang Huifeng Chen Siniang to Yushantang first, and sent warmth to the children on the edge of the ridge, Zhao Hanzhang also went to the field with them to harvest rice, encouraging them to study hard, live hard, and serve the country when they grow up, and realize their ideals and ambitions;

They also had a lunch with the children, and the rice was made by themselves, and Wang personally went to roll out the dough and adjust the filling, and made dumplings with them.

The children ate the dumplings made by the Empress Dowager herself, and the officials of Yushantang were so happy that they fainted.

Chen Siniang, the head of the National Yushan Hall, specially introduced Wang Huifeng to the officials.

Although Zhao Hanzhang did not say it explicitly, Chen Siniang was her confidant and had already noticed that Yushantang would be jointly managed by the imperial court and the royal family in the future.

The royal family will be handed over to the inner court, that is, to the management of the Queen Mother, and under the Queen Mother is Wang Huifeng.

The Queen Mother is very casual, that is, in the future, she will partner with Wang Huifeng, she represents the imperial court, and Wang Huifeng represents the inner court.

To do charity as the queen mother is much better than the imperial court and Zhao Hanzhang coming forward.

After some inspection, Wang was distressed, his fingers pinching the dumplings flew over, and after a while, he pinched a dustpan, and when he left, he was still reluctant to cling to the children.

The children were also very reluctant, standing at the door of Yushantang and waving vigorously to her and Zhao Hanzhang, and kept shouting "Niangniang, Niangniang......"

They like Zhao Hanzhang very much, worship her, respect her, but are closer to the Wang family.

Walking out of the distance, Wang retracted his gaze and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Every time there are festivals and disasters, I ask Qinggu to send things, I thought they would be able to live a good life now, but I didn't expect that they were still so poor, many children don't even have a pair of cloth shoes on their feet, only straw sandals." ”

Zhao Hanzhang reached out to hold her hand, patted it and didn't speak.

Wang said: "I'll take someone to make some shoes for them, and then send them some fabrics, I see that their bodies are also very thin, and the sky is seeing that it is going to be cold, so I have to prepare some winter clothes." ”

Zhao Hanzhang should be down.

In the afternoon, they went to the countryside around Luoyang.

Zhao Hanzhang's trip this time was not for inspection, but to show the majesty of the Queen Mother, so he was notified in advance.

When he arrived at the place, not only was there with a large number of people in each mile, but Zhao Zheng, the county magistrate, was also there.

Zhao Hanzhang personally helped Wang get out of the car, and the mother and daughter visited the lonely and widowed elderly and wounded veterans in several nearby villages.

When they left, there was only excitement and envy left in the eyes of the old people and adults, "Giving birth to a daughter should be like Zhao Hanzhang", there is no moment when this nursery rhyme is so close to their hearts.

So they turned to the girl in the family and said, "You must study hard, learn your skills hard, and if you can learn a little bit of your majesty's skills in the future, you will be able to glorify your ancestors, and let your mother be under your shadow and be ordained." ”

This incident was published in the Di Bao and other major newspapers and spread to various places, and the local officials and literati saw Zhao Hanzhang's love for the people in the autumn harvest, and the students in the school also preached it to the local people.

But at this moment, the brainwaves of the people were successfully connected to Zhao Hanzhang.

While agreeing with those officials and students, he discussed privately, "The people around the capital are living so well, not only can you see His Majesty the Emperor, but also the Queen Mother." ”

"The Queen Mother is really blessed to give birth to His Majesty's ......" The topic is here, and when I look at my own children again, I feel a pang in my heart, as if their daughter is a little smarter than her son, and the gentleman in the school will only praise her son once if she praises her daughter three times.

If his daughter becomes a big official in the future, can she be as kind to her mother's family as the emperor? (End of chapter)
