In the sixth year of the emperor, the Jiaofang Palace.

The hall is gloomy, whether it is the palace maid or the chamberlain, they are all full of sadness, and they are like walking corpses between their steps.

This is the queen's bedroom, but Queen Bo is lying on the bed at this time, her face is like a withered tree.

Her physical condition is very poor, not because she has some fatal disease, but because she is depressed and cannot be relieved, which can also be said to be depression.

As for the cause of depression, it is naturally the recent viral spread that the Son of Heaven intends to abolish the queen.

And the reason for the abolition of the queen is that the queen has nothing to do on the surface, but in fact, it is because after the death of the Empress Dowager Bo, the Bo family is really getting thinner.

As a queen, she has no son, this is the biggest original sin.

And without the Empress Dowager Bo as a backer, her cousin Bo's family declined rapidly, and her position as queen could not be kept.

Those beauties who have sons are all trying to kill her with open guns and arrows, and covet the queen's throne.

Faced with such a tragic prospect, Queen Bo was naturally depressed.

You must know that since the first queen Empress Lu, there has been no deposed queen in the world, and she is estimated to be a precedent.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and the eldest Changqiu of the Jiaofang Hall hurried to the front of the queen to report, "Empress, Your Majesty has sent someone." ”

Queen Bo laughed bitterly, "It's finally here?" Anyway, I won't let them go even if I'm a ghost! ”

She struggled to get up and wanted to accept the order, even if she was deposed from the queen's throne, she couldn't lose face.

When I see the Empress Dowager Bo, I must complain to her!

"Queen~~~"

Da Changqiu hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty just sent someone to inform the matter, not to deliver the decree." ”

"Huh?"

Now it was Queen Bo's turn to be stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

Da Changqiu's face was happy, "Prince Liu Rong, who was deposed as the crown prince and retired as the king of Linjiang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Queen Bo was shocked, "The crown prince is deposed?!" ”

But after the shock, her originally pale face showed joy, "Okay, good!" Kurihime, you also have today! ”

Since Liu Rong was made the crown prince, Li Ji, who was already arrogant, has become even more domineering, even in front of the queen, she didn't give a good face.

And before that, there were ministers who said that 'the son is more expensive than the mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son.' 'Shang, please crown Kurihime as the queen.

Although Wang Wan was behind this matter, Queen Bo didn't know the reason, and the hatred naturally fell on Li Ji.

Li Ji's personality is really indescribable, and with her mouth, she is really an enemy in the palace!

Hearing such good news, Queen Bo suddenly felt that her head no longer hurt, her waist was no longer sore, her legs were not weak, and even her originally pale face was flushed.

Without him, happy to be happy.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing."

Queen Bo, who has always been sad, rarely showed a smiling face.

After laughing, he frowned slightly, "And Wang Meiren, I must live, I must see that they are all unlucky!" ”

The abolition of the prince has a huge repercussion in the court and among the people.

You must know that since Zulong became emperor, the crown prince who has not been deposed, Liu Rong can be regarded as leaving his name in the history books.

Fusu was not explicitly established as the crown prince, but he was the eldest son valued by the first emperor, and the government and the opposition regarded him as a prince.

He was not deposed, but killed by Jiaozhao.

Therefore, Liu Rong was the first official prince to be deposed.

Although the courtiers had been mentally prepared, when the matter came, there was still an uproar, and naturally they were indispensable to speak for Liu Rong.

These people do not say how much they admire Liu Rong, but to maintain order and tradition.

In fact, since Kurihime called the Son of Heaven an 'old dog', almost everyone knew that there would be such a day.

No matter what, the Son of Heaven will not let Li Ji become the queen mother.

If that's the case, none of the sons and concubines of the Son of Heaven will survive!

Li Ji, who is in love with her brain, not only killed her son Liu Rong, but also killed herself.

There are also many people who are unhappy with the crown prince Liu Rongming, thinking that the prince is innocent and should not be deposed.

Most of these people are mainly Confucian scholars, especially the Guliang faction.

Their proposition is to respect the inferior and orderly, and to pass on the rituals and laws.

In their opinion, the deposition of the crown prince is a major event that affects the overall situation.

In reality, however, the impact was not as great as it could have been.

At least in the palace, from the queen mother to the beauties, they are basically secretly happy, and even secretly supported.

There's no way, there are too many people Kurihime has offended.

Especially Princess Guantao, who was once divorced in person, laughed until she leaned back and closed her mouth, and tears burst into laughter.

She also specially entered the palace to find Li Ji to show off and fall into the well.

"Offended me, and you still want to be the queen and the queen mother? Dream on! ”

The turmoil in Chang'an City did not affect Li Yunze, who was far away in Zhongshan.

He was busy with spring ploughing and large-scale minting of gold and copper coins.

The Zhongshan Kingdom had basically completely completed the ironization of peasant farming tools, and not only that, but also dumped iron tools and agricultural tools on a large scale to various parts of the Han Dynasty through caravans.

After training enough ploughing cattle, Li Yunze finally got the Quyuan plow, a big killer for ploughing land.

I didn't do it before, because it was difficult to play a role without a cow to drag it, and it cost a lot of iron.

Li Yunze attacked the Xiongnu tribes twice before and after, and captured tens of thousands of cattle, of which more than seventy percent were successfully trained to become ploughing cattle, which gave him the motivation to drag the Quyuan plow.

The cattle on the grassland are basically beef cattle, because the nomadic tribes hardly farm, so naturally there is no need to plough cattle.

The captured cattle have to go through strict training before they can be transformed into cultivated cattle, not that they can work in the field after they are caught, and there is no such thing. Well, except in movies and TV dramas.

Just like a million-strong army besieging a small village, it is not impossible for beef cattle in film and television dramas to pull them to plow the land.

"The King."

Zhang Ou and others came to the edge of the field and saw with their own eyes the amazing work efficiency of the Quyuan plough compared to the straight plow, and they were full of praise, "This is a divine thing!" ”

The work efficiency of the curved plow is at least three times that of the straight plow.

In other words, when a farmer plows in the spring, it can cultivate several times more acres.

The acres of land in the Han Dynasty are far from being completely developed like those of later generations, but there are countless places that can be reclaimed.

The reason why it has not all been reclaimed is because of a lack of manpower and material resources.

After all, it takes a lot of energy and material resources to reclaim raw fields, and if mature fields are not carefully maintained, they will be abandoned as wasteland in a few years.

Lack of manpower has always been an important problem.

As for some people saying why don't you have more children?

It's as offensive as 'why don't you eat minced meat.'"

Having a child is to be raised, and you have to pay for all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, who can afford to raise a child when you can't afford it?

Compared with the advocacy of later generations, the ancient times were much more radical in this regard.

For example, if you directly match the widow Lalang, it is all pediatrics, and what is even more ruthless is that the women in the family are not married, and they directly charge a high poll tax to force you to marry.

The so-called proposal of some drillers is just a collection of ancient wisdom.

"Gentlemen."

Li Yunze, whose trouser leg rolled up to his knees, motioned to everyone, "Is the effect of this thing acceptable?" ”

"The King."

Gongsun Hong, who had just personally ploughed two acres of land, shook the soil on his feet and said, "This thing is very useful, and we should try our best to promote it." ”

"Hmm."

Li Yunze nodded, and looked at Ji Di, "Since everyone agrees, there is a servant who is responsible for supervising production, and all counties are striving to use it during spring ploughing." ”

"One should spend the expense." Li Yunze turned his head to look at Yan Yi, "It's all from a private house." ”

Ji Di and Yan Yi saluted together, "Oh." ”

Li Yunze once again instructed Gongsun Hong, "Internal history, this matter will be left to you with full responsibility, and you must let the people in the country cultivate more fields during spring ploughing and complete the rotation as much as possible." ”

"喏~~~"

Li Yunze vigorously promoted crop rotation in Zhongshan Kingdom, advocating that the people divide the land into two parts.

One is planted as a staple food, and the other is planted with pasture grasses such as alfalfa.

After the autumn harvest, the land where the staple food is harvested and soybeans are planted.

Wait until the second year, and then rotate the farming.

Alfalfa grass and soybeans, fertile fields or something are still secondary, because the middle earth fields at this time have not been continuously cultivated for thousands of years resulting in nutrient deficiency, and they are still very fertile.

The main reason for these is to feed livestock.

It's not chickens, ducks and geese, these poultry can be raised by themselves, and they don't need to be managed.

The main feeds are cattle, sheep and dogs.

Among them, the most important are cattle and sheep.

Li Yunze has always scoffed at the so-called Westerners' genetically good, so they are tall.

The Westerners who came to the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty were shorter than the other and much worse than the Ming Dynasty.

The fundamental reason why the cows were tall and big later was that the people were wealthy and could afford to eat beef and milk, and they had a hairy relationship with genes or something.

There's no reason why Middle-earth can't do what Westerners can do.

Isn't it just beef and mutton and milk, what's so great, just raise it!

Li Yunze strongly encouraged aquaculture, and soybeans and alfalfa grass existed as fodder.

He also planned to wait for the next time he went out of the fortress, find a random Xiongnu tribe to kill him, and then take out the corn seeds and say that they were captured from this tribe.

With an adequate supply of feed, there is no shortage of beef and mutton milk.

He is also determined to win the prairie, which will be the back garden of the Han Dynasty in the future, raising millions or even tens of millions of livestock for the Han Dynasty to improve the physical fitness of the Han people.

He wants to let the Muyang dogs take a good look, the Middle-earth Han'er is much stronger than the Angsamen!

"The King."

Yan Yi, who was in charge of revenue and expenditure, said, "Quyuan plough consumes too much iron, and I am afraid that the income will not cover the expenditure."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yunze waved his hand, "The insufficient part is from the palace, and our Zhongshan state-owned foundry bureau is not short of money." ”

Everyone laughed, and it was a pleasure to be able to mint money by yourself.

While laughing, a long convoy appeared on the official road not far away.

Dozens of manned carriages, as well as the Han army guards, are extraordinary.

"It's Taifu who is back."

The sharp-eyed master father Yan saw Shi Fen's banner at a glance, and then thought of the letter sent before, and looked at Li Yunze with a smile.

"My lord, the beauties sent by the Son of Heaven have arrived."
