Chapter 141: Here Comes the Corn

The departure of the old ministers certainly made Zhao Jiu very sad, but this is also a law of life that cannot be changed, so he can only try his best to adjust his mentality, and then treat other old ministers better.

For example, Chen Gongfu, the secretary of the ministry, has been on sick leave for three months in a year. Although he himself is ambitious, he also understands that time is not forgiving. As a result, after earnest talks with him, Zhao Guanjia promoted him to the position of vice minister of the province, and later let him retire as a deputy state-level leader.

At the same time, his friend Li Guang was transferred back to Tokyo to serve as the secretary of the ministry, and soon after he also entered the capital as deputy minister to share the work pressure of Zhao Ding.

The situation on the Privy Council's side is even more urgent, and Ma Kuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is also promoted to the Privy Council, and gives Zhang Jun a hand - not to mention that Han Shizhong can't do the specific work of the Privy Council, but he can do it, and after the battle of Zhengnan, he and Zhang Jun are also incompatible.

Later, Zhao Yuanxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the southeast envoy. Chen Kangbo, the priest of the country, was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Jiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, became the secretary.

As for Lu Zhi, like Wan Qiao, he is not to blame for the past, and he has re-established himself as a strategic envoy of Hedong Road, in view of the important positioning of Taiyuan City, it is absolutely beautiful.

I won't repeat the rest of the personnel.

This personnel transfer is a bit big, but everyone understands that after all, the old minister is helpless. The phenomenon of Mesozoic dynastics caused by Jing Kang's shame is very serious. More importantly, after the government opened up its territory, a large number of officials became vacant. However, it cannot be shoddy, because the magistrate directly determines the life and death of the people of a county or even a state.

So, Zhao Guanjia had to do another act that he despised very much, that is, with a large number of people. The sons of the elders served as magistrates. After all, the moral bottom line of these eunuchs is still higher in general, and it should not be too bad to follow his father since he was a child and draw a scoop according to the gourd.

For example, Zhao Ding's eldest son, Zhao Fen, was promoted to two levels as the governor of Chizhou.

Another example is Li Guang's eldest son, who has been transferred by Hu Yin to Yanjing to serve as the Yin of Yanjing Mansion, and has repeatedly praised his construction talent.

However, these two are not only high-ranking officials, but also Jinshi who are serious and have a good background, and they do not shudder.

Don't you see, even a little radish head like Yang Wanli has been sent out to be the magistrate?

Due to the successive deaths of Zaizhi, although the imperial examination was still held in Tokyo, it was postponed for a month. For the first time after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Guanjia officially announced that the capital would be moved next year.

Since then, the Great Song Dynasty has Yanjing as the capital, Tokyo as the central capital, Chang'an as the western capital, and Hangzhou as the southern capital.

Liu Ji, the vice minister of the province, went to Yanjing in advance to prepare for various matters.

Although there are no six, the dental equipment of Yiying Mansion is set up in accordance with Kaifeng Mansion in that year.

This has also become a hot topic in this imperial examination. There are also many liberal arts students who are even discussing whether they will use the four-capital system to test the center, and say, is this the system of learning from Liao?

The martial arts students are a little too noisy, because Tokyo is not Yanjing, the folk customs are relatively strong, and there are many open areas. Whether it is a competition or a discussion, there has been a lot of commotion, and they have smashed a few tables in the main store. made Kaifeng Mansion, Hu Hong have to maintain stability in his busy schedule. With a black face, he clearly told the noisy martial arts move, this is not on the battlefield of Jiaozhi, you just want to make meritorious contributions, and give me a little stop to build on the battlefield later, otherwise the official will inform the martial arts demerits.

In addition, for some people who are not convinced by their backgrounds, they also put black words, don't you know that my brother (Hu Yin) and King Han Qin have a good relationship?

In this way, this imperial examination has finally passed without danger. In fact, after so many years of peaceful development, although the Zhao Guanjia determined that Yuanxue was the mainstream of the Great Song School, all literati and doctors had their own opinions, and the elites were constantly studying, including the masters in martial arts, and the opinions on the art of war were not the same, but these were also what the Zhao Guanjia was willing to see, after all, it was always good for a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend.

The premise is not to oppose the Great Song Dynasty, of course, no one thinks so, just don't open it, everyone is an establishment, isn't it good to watch the country flourish in the system?

So, the Zhao official family, who was a little more idle, extended the claws of the arranged marriage to their two sons, the second prince Zhao Yang and the third prince Zhao Dan, and respectively set the daughters of Zhang Jun, the king of Qi and Zhang Rong, the king of Lu, as their wives.

Yes, I don't know if God opened his eyes, Zhang Rong's wife finally gave birth to a big fat boy a few years ago, and the excited King Lu burst into tears. At the same time, he also gave up the plan to recruit the third girl, and this time the imperial examination was sharpening his knife, preparing to recruit another son-in-law of the jinshi back. As a result, as soon as Zhao Guan's family proposed a marriage plan, he was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't care about being a good man outside the Donghua Gate. No matter how good a man is, he can't compare to the prince!

Zhang Jun, the king of Qi, was even happier. said that he must send his daughter out with red makeup. Well, I have to be a little helpless, I can't let my daughter hold her head up in front of the concubines.

Completely ignoring the fact that the two princes are not yet married, they will have to wait at least five or six years before they can discuss this issue.

Wu and Pan are not very satisfied with this, Zhang Rong was born recklessly, and Zhang Jun is famous for being greedy for money. It is far inferior to Han Yue and the others, but the problem is that the Zhao Guanjia is arbitrary, and it is useless for the two of them to say anything.

I don't know if Zhao Guan's handling of his own family affairs has attracted the attention of others, anyway, there are so many imperial historians who are clamoring to ask for the queen.

It's not that they're full and have nothing to do, it's a duty decision. Empress Xianjie has been gone for more than ten years, and the position of the middle palace has been vacant for more than ten years, which is actually not in line with feudal etiquette.

Because the queen is not a concubine, she has strong political significance in her own right. However, it is not good for the Zhao official family to be willful. As they spoke, Lao Tzu did not listen.

However, soon a big event also happened, which attracted the attention of the whole of Tokyo and even the Great Song Dynasty, and no one mentioned this stubble anymore.

The six hundred miles of Quanzhou Port hurriedly reported to Zhao Guan's family, and the ship that Zhang Jun, the king of Qi, had lost back in tatters.

This is really big news, who would have thought that they would get lost at sea and come back after drifting for more than a year?

Zhao Guanjia urgently summoned these people and asked them where they went, but it turned out that the number of these people was wrong, and there were still thin monkey-like people who came back, and they were still wearing animal skins.

Zhao Jiu's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't wait to ask if you had drifted to South America? Unfortunately, he also knew that these people would not know what South Americans and Indians were.

Fortunately, the maritime merchants who led the team and the officials who oversaw them were shrewd, and quickly explained that they had encountered a hurricane and did not know where they had gone, but later, with the blessing of the officials, the sailors adjusted their direction in time and drifted along the current to a large island that they had never been to before. Originally, there were inhabitants of these places who did not know anything, but wanted to take them as slaves.

More than half of the sailors on this ship were from the right army of the imperial camp. When they picked up the guys, they turned into warriors, so these red-haired ones became slaves and came back.

The Zhao official family is almost about to roar filial piety, who wants these slaves? The Great Song Dynasty has long since abolished slavery, won't you bring some seeds back? All kinds of corn, potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, coffee.

But in fact, Zhao Guanjia really thinks too much. If he asks carefully, and is good enough at geography, he will find out. The ship did not drift to South America, but to a large island near the Caribbean Sea.

Although the maritime merchants didn't know that Zhao Guan's family had so many needs, they saw the novel species and really brought him back a little bit. After careful identification by Zhao Guanjia, it was confirmed that this thing was him. The corn I hadn't seen in fifteen years in my dream.

"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"

Song miscellaneous books record: Jianyan, there are sea ships to the nameless island in the wind, carrying unknown objects to the Central Plains, the ancestors look at its appearance, and give the name "corn". Then it was sown in the Central Plains, and even in the south of the Yangtze River and the two lakes. The yield per mu has doubled in more than ten years. The people are grateful for the kindness of the ancestors, and regard it as an auspicious gift from God.
