Chapter 461: Superior
In June, Jingshi was already a little enthusiastic.
Wei Ningbo went to the recital, describing the division of fields in Wanping and Daxing counties, and Zhu Hou took care of it and moved his mind to go out of the palace.
Because of his various political measures, the most beneficial thing for the common people is to divide the land. This is also the initiative he cares about the most and has the most sense of achievement.
Of course, it is most intolerable for people to deceive and deceive their superiors and subordinates, not to say 100 percent, at least 80 or 90 percent of the problem.
However, it is not so simple for the emperor to leave the palace, in the past, he just walked around the edge of the imperial city, and really went to the countryside......
However, after thinking about it, the current court is no longer the original court, he has done so many reliable things, he will not do such a thing and the world will be in chaos, right?
When I think about it like this, I can't hold back that thought in my heart.
There are people like Liu Jin beside him, and he spares no effort to satisfy the emperor's thoughts.
So there was still a scene of Zhu Houzhao wearing a light blue wide coat and long sleeves, traveling in a carriage. On a hot summer day, he curled his hair and wrapped it in a square scarf. Because he was afraid of the heat, he still held a fan in his hand.
After leaving the city and being sparsely populated, Zhu Houzhao was reluctant to take a carriage, because there was no shock absorbing device at this time, and the road was not flat, so it was better to ride a horse.
On his left was Wei Ningbo, on his right was Xu Guan, the commander of Shenwuwei, and behind them there were about ten Shenwuwei soldiers following, and Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were not absent.
By June, the farmland was already golden, and Zhu Houzhao checked along the way, and the wheat in the field was shorter than he remembered, and the stems were thinner.
However, these are almost the same on the ridges, and it is probably the busy season of farming, and there are not only men in the fields, but also women are not uncommon, and children who are half a person tall are also working.
Everywhere Zhu Houzhao went, he would ask Zhang Yong to ask whether it was a homesteader or someone else's land that was rented and planted, and if it was only distributed this year, then he would ask how much it was distributed, how it was divided at that time, and so on.
Wei Ningbo said: "In accordance with Your Majesty's will, many local ministers of Daxing and Wanping have traveled for more than a month, and the life of the people is not rich, after all, the fields that have been divided have not even harvested a season's wheat and rice. But now it's golden everywhere, and this year's harvest is good, so the rest of the year will be better. ”
Zhu Houzhao asked: "Isn't there a place where the corrupt officials and officials below privately divided the farmland of the imperial court?" ”
"I don't dare to say that there is nowhere to go, but His Majesty has changed the prefects of various places, and sent inspection teams to inspect many rounds, and the figure of the factory guard can be seen everywhere, so this kind of private annexation of Zhuangtian should be relatively rare."
"The people who sent it down may be in the same league as the local people, and if they make up a lie, no one will know. I know too well what they can do, the farmland of the imperial court is a big fat meat, and it is impossible for anyone not to stretch out their hands. Of course, I focus on prevention, and I believe it has some effect. ”
Liu Jin sounded as if he was talking to himself, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been ordered three times, if the people in Dongchang dare to mess around with the palace behind their backs, it will be the result of a corpse!" ”
"I know, it's not that I don't believe you." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, he no longer dwelled on this, sometimes the perfect state is difficult to achieve, he has so many means to prevent it, it can achieve the effect of eight or nine percent, and the contradiction between people and land in Beizhili will also be greatly alleviated.
In addition, the manpower needed by the imperial court to repair the library and roads, basically the conditions for the uprising were not available.
However, an agrarian society cannot absorb all the labor force.
Nor can we ignore the law and blindly force it.
At this time, the countryside has a strong primitive taste, there are no wires in the sky, and even in some villages, there are not many brick buildings, but there are many scalpers.
Most of the roads under your feet are also small paths, which are not deliberately built, or they become roads when you walk, so they are wide and narrow, and they turn indiscriminately. On the way, he met some people who were harvesting wheat, which made him a little relieved.
The common people can also see him, but the people are afraid of officials, and many of them are afraid when they see it, so they will basically stay away.
There is that kind of unreasonable people, if a temper suddenly comes, they may beat up others, as an ordinary person, this is something that cannot be done at all, and it must be better to hide as far away as possible.
After this farmland, I entered a forest, and because I could hear the sound of water, I probably knew that I had to cross the river.
There is a stone arch bridge over the river, I don't know when it was built, it feels like some years old.
In the shadow of the dense forest, Zhu Houzhao instantly felt much cooler.
After crossing the stone arch bridge, you can see many families on the right hand, maybe they belong to another village, the fields here are much more regular than those there, a large area, it is really called the field of hope.
Wei Ningbo said: "Originally, this piece was a royal village, but fortunately, His Majesty loves the people like a son, and now it is distributed to more than 300 families here for farming. ”
Zhu Hou is white, and the high-quality fertile fields by the river are connected to one piece in the past.
"It's the people who live over there." He pointed to the front left, where there were a number of houses, and not only that, but there seemed to be a pavilion.
The pavilion is built in a meadow at the edge of the woods, and a road at the exit connects the village to the farmland, presumably for rest.
And at this time, there was a person sitting inside, a woman in an off-white dress.
Wei Ningbo said: "Your Majesty has made a will, let your courtiers and sisters see it." Today, the minister took matters into his own hands and let her wait here. ”
"Oh." Zhu Houzhao nodded suddenly, "Then let's go, see you." ”
Wang Zhi was reminded by the maidservant and knew that someone was coming from behind, because she was the emperor, so she didn't dare to hold it up, so she immediately stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and stood on the side of the road. It is basic etiquette to hold the index finger crosswise in front of the lower abdomen, and the eyes are slightly downward, not to look directly at the emperor.
When footsteps appeared in her sight, she turned around and knelt down, "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In fact, Zhu Houzhao was already looking at her just now, but she lowered her head slightly, a little unreally, she only felt that her hands were thin and white, her side face was flawless, and her nose was straight.
In his heart, he thought that Wang Yue would give birth to a good granddaughter.
When she really stood in front of her, she felt that she was slender and her waist seemed to have only one hand, which was quite a beautiful temperament.
"Let's go, just in time to rest inside."
Liu Jin took the first step and went to the pavilion to wipe the stone bench and stone table with his sleeve before inviting the emperor to sit down.
Xu Guan, the commander, only led people to stand around the side.
"Sit down. I have something to ask you brothers and sisters. ”
"Yes."
In fact, just like that, Wang Zhi was also looking at the emperor. The emperor was stronger than he thought. She thought that the people raised in the deep palace would be somewhat weak, but in fact, the emperor she saw was tall, with broad shoulders and feet, and even a trace of perseverance on his face.
Of course, young is young, and there is not even a beard yet.
Zhu Houzhao asked while fanning the folding fan: "Wei Ningbo, this must be the master behind you." ”
