Chapter 284: The Limits of the Times
The climate of Daqin is similar to that of China in another time and space, and it is basically subtropical and temperate.
Most of the area belongs to the warm temperate and middle temperate zones.
Among them, the agricultural harvest of the Gyeonggi generation is basically from late August to late September.
It's only July now, and even if there is a drought this year, there won't be so many displaced people now, right?
In this regard, Liu Muzhi and others couldn't help frowning slightly.
However, Kou Zhunren knew a little more than them in this regard, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know how many things you have.
Although it is only July, for ordinary farmers, it is already the season of green and yellow, and if there is no famine, most yeoman farmers will need to borrow grain to survive at this season.
But once such a famine is encountered, those rich and powerful will naturally refuse to borrow.
If there is a little way, of course, they will not escape before the autumn harvest, but those who really have no way will not have the autumn harvest.
At this time, many people can only break the jar and break it, and cut back the crops that have not yet grown and eat them.
After eating, you can only escape the famine. β
When Zhao Xin and the others heard this, they finally suddenly realized that there was silence in the north study.
Kou Zhunren was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help frowning slightly: "However, at this time in the past, the families of the rich and powerful would take this opportunity to gather the population.
Or also pretend to do some relief to win people's hearts, so usually there are not so many displaced people, and they will not all run to the capital.
This time, there are so many displaced people, and it is indeed a bit abnormal to gather in the capital so quickly. β
Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, and they probably understood what was going on in an instant.
"It seems that someone is deliberately behind the scenes!"
Wang Xuance immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I sincerely ask you to send embroidered envoys to investigate everywhere to see who is behind the obstruction!"
When Cao Xiong heard this, his expression couldn't help but move slightly, and he smiled cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's better to let the old slave send the fan of the East Factory to investigate, where do you still have to work and embroider clothes." β
Wang Xuance couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
However, Zhao Xin glanced at Cao Xiong coldly, and the latter hurriedly retreated and bowed his head and did not dare to speak again.
Zhao Xin said coldly: "If you can't check it, there will be no one else except those wealthy families."
It's good to go back and let Huatian send someone to investigate. β
Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this.
Even if it was Wang Xuance, he only mentioned it.
This little thing, he can't compete with anyone for power and profit.
Although Cao Xiong secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already lost the confidence and courage to fight for Yuhuatian.
It can only be said that Cao is born and he is born.
Zhao Xin didn't dwell too much on this issue.
Because when it comes to this, as he said, it doesn't make much sense to check it or not.
The left and right are just those people from wealthy families, and as for who is from which family, it doesn't mean much to him.
"Let's continue to talk about the outcasts, I have a charter here, how about you take a look?"
As he spoke, he took out two pages of the manuscript in his hand and handed it to Cao Xiong and said, "Pass it on." β
Cao Xiong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took it and glanced at the content on it, but he didn't dare to take a closer look.
However, he knew that these were the results of the sleepless work of His Majesty, the Empress and Concubine Ming in the past two days.
So he held it very carefully in his hands.
Even when he handed it over to Liu Muzhi and others, he deliberately explained, "Be careful, these are written by Your Majesty and the two mothers who have been sleepless for two days, but don't damage them." β
Several people didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and hurriedly took it carefully.
Only then did I know that the emperor's so-called retreat in the past two days was originally for these purposes.
And the statute mentioned by the emperor must also have something to do with this.
"It turns out that the ministers have misunderstood Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's so-called retreat turned out to be a strategy to govern the displaced people......
Thinking like this, Liu Muzhi and the others suddenly felt ashamed.
They are all famous ministers.
But in such a matter, he cannot share the worries of the king, but let His Majesty work hard.
On the contrary, they should be suspicious of the Son of Heaven and ignore the government.
It's really guilty.
When they looked at the pages again, everyone was stunned and then surprised.
This is because the content on this page is not a strategy for dealing with the homeless.
Naturally, they saw the value of the content.
The emperor only asked Cao Xiong to pass down two pages, but the content on these two pages was different.
One reads "Picking Up the Three and Finishing - Paper Material".
At first glance, you can see that this is about the content of papermaking, but this content is only the content of papermaking raw materials, and does not involve specific processes.
The title of the other article reads "Lacquer pottery [sha
ββWhite Porcelain.
Then the edges of the two pages have the words "Heavenly Creations".
Everyone instantly understood that this should be the two essays of a book called [Heavenly Creation].
Although it is not complete, it is not difficult to see from the eyes of several people that it must still have relevant content and its value.
However, everyone's performance is still slightly different, and Kou Zhunren, Liu Muzhi, and Wang Xuance are undoubtedly more solemn.
Yu Qian, on the other hand, was a little neglectful and confused.
And the most excited is naturally Qiao Sanniang, as a businessman, although she doesn't know if this thing has anything to do with the resettlement of displaced people, but she can instantly see its economic benefits.
Subconsciously looked at the stack of roughly identical pages in Zhao Xin's hand, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Zhao Xin looked at the expressions of several people and couldn't help asking, "What does this person think is the value of the content on these two pages?"
"Your Majesty, these two pages are worth a fortune, and the contents of any one page are enough to prosper a family. β
Kou Zhunren was the first to speak.
Among the few people present, he was the only native, so his thoughts were basically similar to Su Qingyu's Lin Yuyan.
They can see at a glance that the craftsmanship is far beyond the present.
Then the first thought was that this skill could be used as a guarantee for the development of the family.
Liu Muzhi and Wang Xuance both had similar ideas, so they both nodded together.
And Yu Qian frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, the content of these pages can indeed be used in the present, but I am afraid that the tricks and tricks will not help with major events." β
When he said this, Kou Zhunren and Liu Muzhi all looked at him in surprise, "Yu Jun, this is the business of the family, how can there be a saying that it is strange and ingenious?"
Yu Qian frowned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Zhao Xin waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not argue here about whether it is a trick or not." β
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, these four can be said to be the elites of the times who chose for a while, and they are all believers in Confucian culture.
However, in terms of thinking and thinking, the difference between the times can be clearly felt.
It's an amazing feeling.
However, Zhao Xin was obviously not in the mood to discuss the ideological changes of Chinese scholars at this time.
He didn't bother to ask the people anymore, because they obviously didn't figure out what they had to do with the resettlement of the displaced people.
This is also helpless, after all, the restrictions of the times, even the most intelligent people cannot easily break them.
This is the helplessness of the traverser.
Even these top wise men drawn out by the system are difficult to become fellow travelers who can truly understand communication.
Immediately asked Qiao Sanniang directly: "Sanniang, I asked you to try to gather skilled craftsmen before, are you doing it?"
