Chapter 33: Let's go and plant potatoes in the Ministry of Rites
This touch and shock brought Song Yingxing too much joy.
The impact was too strong, so his shoulders couldn't help but shudder because of the surprise.
"Song Aiqing, I want to reuse you."
"The land of my Ming Dynasty is in ruin, and the farming civilization that has been preached for thousands of years has also suffered a catastrophe, which makes me think about it every time, sleepless at night, and heartbroken."
Zhou Xian put on a melancholy man who was worried about the country, the people and the world.
When he said this, he hoped to give the initiative to the other party.
The next topic leads to a level that is familiar to the other person.
In this way, the other party does not feel inhibited.
In addition, Zhou Xian also expressed great respect for Song Yingxing.
Because Song Yingxing is only the main book of the county.
Put it in the present and be the minutes taker.
This is not the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
I can't talk about Aiqing at all.
But that's what Zhou Xian called him.
Song Yingxing was indeed very excited.
I was at a loss for a while.
This thing made him too confused.
Four days ago.
When Xu Xianchun, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei from the Imperial Town Fusi, revealed his identity, Song Yingxing was stunned.
He asked himself that he had been poor for half his life, and he had not taken a penny more from the government, nor had he taken advantage of the people's pennies.
is even more because of cowardice, and he is afraid of fainting blood when killing chickens.
Why did you provoke Jinyiwei?
When he heard Xu Xianchun say again that when Chitose, the concubine of the Imperial Prison State, was going to summon him to the imperial city, he was stunned again.
What? What are you looking for me for?
Many local squires and officials said that his writings would be a scourge if they were to be disseminated.
It is to cause great chaos in the world.
So when the court looks for itself, is it going to convict itself?
That's not right.
To be convicted, the court came down with a mouthful, and the local county magistrate directly hammered him over.
Why go all the way to the capital?
Therefore, Song Yingxing was escorted by Xu Xianchun, and the whole person's expression was in a trance.
In a trance, he felt that he was fake, unrealistic.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Where am I going?
The soul three questions almost occupied Song Yingxing's hundreds of miles away.
Now, Song Yingxing is really sitting in the Jinluan Palace.
And he sat directly next to the prison country's concubine.
It is also the position of the left hand, which can be described as the most noble.
At this time, he is not confused, because he is used to it.
On the contrary, he became extraordinarily sober.
Song Yingxing, who was only thirty-six years old, was moved to tears.
trembling many times, he left his seat and knelt down to worship Zhou Xian, but he was helped up by Zhou Xian and pressed on the seat.
Such a grace, a very popular minister, Song Yingxing choked up and said: "Your Highness Chitose, if there is a demand, the grass people will smear their livers and brains and exert their lifelong enthusiasm." ”
"It's enough to have Aiqing's words, Aiqing is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty."
In this way, Song Yingxing's scalp was numb when he listened.
Don't dare!
At once, it changed from a dick silk to a white jade pillar in the sky, and a purple gold beam in the sea.
That is inevitably suspected of killing.
But Zhou Xian still did not hesitate to praise.
It's like the Duke of Zhou worships Jiang Ziya, and the King of Han worships Zhang Liang.
The whole picture of the sweet and beautiful painting style of the monarch and the minister......
When Song Yingxing's mood stabilized a little, Zhou Xian went straight to the point: "Song Aiqing, the current rebellion of the mob in Shaanxi is because of thousands of miles of barren land, and those innocent people follow the thieves because of hunger. ”
"But what about the thieves? Where did he get the food he gave to the people? ”
"Those are all the grain depots of the imperial court in various places, which are used to resist the military needs of Jiannu."
"However, if the common people can keep to themselves, the court will give them all the food, and they can also get through the difficulties."
"But the most important thing is that those people lost their land and followed the thieves against the court."
"You say, how can we let them live and work in peace?"
When Zhou Xian said this, a line of crocodile tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
Even Hou Lianhui, who was standing next to Zhou Xian, also cooperated with the performance of the horse master with interest, and intimately took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian didn't answer, who knows what this old eunuch wipes with a handkerchief every day.
Hou Lianhui's expression was slightly stunned, and he touted: "Your Highness Chitose, holy virtue and benevolence!" ”
How could Zhou Xian be lost in such a toution?
Absolutely not, but struck while the iron was hot and said to Song Yingxing: "Since ancient times, the people have food and clothing, and the world can be peaceful." ”
"I can't wait for the peaceful and prosperous times."
"So, today I'm going to issue a decree, and that is to set up a Department of Agriculture."
"The imperial court has now taken back 10,000 acres of fertile land from Qian Qianyi and several major corrupt officials."
"The headquarters of the Department of Agriculture is located over there."
"It just so happens that those manors are around the capital, and I will ask Hou Lian to take you to inspect them."
"From now on, the imperial court will set up a Ministry of Agriculture, and the original Ministry of Rites will be merged into the Ministry of Agriculture."
"The previous Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, downgraded one gear, for the left waiter of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the previous left waiter of the Ministry of Rites was downgraded to the right waiter of the Ministry of Agriculture in order, as for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture, you will take over."
"I will ask Hou Lianhui to immediately announce your appointment in the Three Dukes' Mansion."
"From tomorrow onwards, you will be the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture among the six departments."
Zhou Xian did this not only to solve the food problem.
It also solved the situation of redundant officials and redundant government in the Ming court.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, he did not call himself a minister, did not make peace with his relatives, and did not pay tribute.
Setting up a Ministry of Rites itself is an idle profession.
Now the court is worried about internal and external troubles.
How could Emperor Chongzhen have any intention to convene various ceremonial meetings and entertainment sessions?
Therefore, the Ministry of Rites has become an ornament for eating empty salaries.
In addition, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are all members of the Donglin Party.
It's annoying to let them force Lai Lai all day long in the court.
Then just find something for them to do, and let them all follow Song Yingxing to farm.
When the time comes, they will not be obedient?
Then let Song Yingxing fold the paper, and Zhou Xian will naturally deal with the rest.
Six books!
This is a pure second-grade official position.
After Song Yingxing heard this, he was silent for a long time.
If it was someone else sitting next to Zhou Xian at the moment.
Hearing Zhou Xian's commitment and authorization, he will inevitably think that the master of the dynasty is purely joking with himself.
It's to make fun of him.
Even, Zhou Xian could guess the reaction of those officials of the Ministry of Rites after hearing this order.
The cliffs were thunderous one by one.
I feel that they are noble scholars, reading the ways of Confucius and Mencius, controlling military generals, and serving the king.
How can you go farming?
Didn't TM degrade himself to the status of a commoner?
But Song Yingxing didn't think so at all.
He felt that this was the highlight of his life.
The reason why he is silent is that he is trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.
I heard that the eunuch of the country actually made a special trip to ban the Ministry of Rites and set up the Ministry of Agriculture for himself.
Such a great kindness is even closer than my parents.
Thump!
Song Yingxing slipped down from the chair and bowed to Zhou Xian with a heartfelt bow.
"Song Aiqing, you get up."
Corporal Zhou Xian Lixian pulled Song Yingxing up.
