Chapter 314: Potatoes of 500,000 Silver
During the government examination, Baoyu was able to make the list with a policy that scolded the ministers, not because of how gorgeous his rhetoric was, or because he won the first place by quoting scriptures, but because his articles were full of feelings, which resonated with the Shuntian Mansion Yin, who was born in a poor family.
Daiyu is a person with delicate feelings, and she has personally experienced the disaster relief in the winter of last year, and the article is full of feelings, from the disaster, the causes, relief, and the treatment of officials to the final prevention and control, and completely shows the natural disaster caused by the man-made disaster in front of everyone.
Baoyu, the tool man, was originally standing on the high platform nervously, and the audience was crowded, and he even wanted to run away.
"It's all winter melon, it's all winter melon, it's all a bunch of winter melons......
"Brother Cong is right, it's all a bunch of winter melons, and all of them in front of me are winter melons!"
The winter melon tactics seemed to have played some role, and Baoyu began to endorse it.
"Huanghuang Tianri, under the rule of Gyeonggi, the Son of Heaven was close to the left, ordered officials to harm the people, and dug river embankments with manpower, causing hundreds of thousands of people to suffer."
"I saw the flooding of the crops, the rivers rushing over the houses, the hungry fleeing the famine, the husbands running after their wives, the beggars drowning, the children drowning, the children selling their lives, the abandoning of children to escape, the people eating plants and trees, the whole family hanging, scraping and eating human flesh, and starving all over the road......
"Thousands of miles of displaced people, thousands of miles of starvation, natural disasters calling? Man-made disasters too."
"In the place of Gyeonggi, the rich are already in the fields, and the poor have no place to stand. However, under greed, there are still lawbreakers, colluding with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, man-made natural disasters, digging river embankments, and corrupting officials to ......
"There are clouds in the Book of Summer, evil and plundering beauty is dim, greed is to defeat officials as ink, and murder is not taboo as a thief. The people of this day are not as good as the ancients, and they have collected the wealth of the people, and they have eaten the ointment of the people, and they have done evil against the people."
"The disaster in Gyeonggi Prefecture has become a stubborn disease, and it is not feasible to do it unless it is a serious canon. Bian Que cures diseases, the disease is in the intestines, and the soup is ironed; In the skin, the needle stone is also within reach; In the stomach and intestines, the fire is within reach; In the bone marrow, the fate of the division belongs, helpless. Governing the country is like curing a disease, and when the pulse is prescribed, we will practice the method of asking for diagnosis and cutting today......
"Please talk about the Emperor's Road......
Baoyu's endorsement process was very smooth, the audience went from noisy at the beginning to silence in the end, and the entire school field of Guozijian could only hear Baoyu's endorsement.
said that it was an endorsement, but in fact, when talking about the tragic situation of the thousands of miles of displaced people, Baoyu had already bravely opened his eyes and looked at the clouds floating in the sky in the distance.
The shapeless clouds, like the thousands of miles of starvation in his mouth that flooded the crops and were eaten by the sons, made Baoyu have an unconcealable sadness and indignation in his chest and rushed out of his throat, raised his arms, and shouted hard.
"Thousands of miles of Heze heaven and earth are dark, helping the road to leave the countryside. There is no food, no clothing, no food, sickness, sorrow and suffering.
The old man looks like it, the head precedes the foot. The cane and the arm in the airless hand are like the same as the half-furrow.
How can the abandoned child bear to watch, and the shoulder is dry. The father and mother pity the mother, and they hold the standard and sell their eyebrows.
Try to see what the burden is, and the hemp and wheat bran are not abundant. There is no power to dig on the side of the road, and the grass roots are solid and dirty.
In the middle of the situation, the baby lock machine, the negative tile is uncovered and sold. It is described as having sores on the buttocks, and it is still celebrating the loss of debts.
I am sad and hateful, and I don't wait for everything to be white. Yuan You's fate is one to Si, and it is difficult to write about the crimes of corrupt officials and evil gentry.
Back then, who did this, the young people of the country were worried. The door refused to accept it, and the horse handed it to the silver platform.
The sparse words are roughly through the holy eye, and the Quartet knows the limit. This estrangement is getting newer and newer, and it will make the loyal liver and gallbladder hot.
Because of this, I was sparse and exaggerated. I am willing to follow this and re-model the picture of Emperor Chen Wuhuang."
"We young men, reading the words of the saints and doing righteous deeds, can we fear the wrath of the ministers and abandon the emperor's justice?"
"Now there is a son of the Jia family of Rongguo, who should use this to knock on the palace, present it to my emperor, and ask for the people's life, although there is no regret in death!"
One person on the high platform raised his arms and shouted, and hundreds of thousands of people chanted together.
Baoyu's last anxious and righteous young man suddenly made the thousands of scholars in the entire Guozi Supervision School surging with passion, and almost at the same time raised their arms and shouted, asking for their lives for the people.
For a while, Li Shouzhong, the priest of the country, was stunned.
Isn't it a matter of preaching? How did it become a gathering of people to knock on the court, ***
?
"Something big has happened, hurry up and go to the cabinet to invite the elders!"
"Don't worry, don't worry......"
Jia Cong grabbed Li Shouzhong, who was sweating on his forehead, and smiled slightly.
"Uncle, don't worry, everything is under control. The Prime Minister knows about it, and His Majesty knows it."
Li Shouzhong followed Jia Cong's gaze and looked into the shade of the trees outside the crowd, where there were several middle-aged men who were quite old, staring closely at the passionate gentlemen in the school field.
"Dragon Guard?"
Jia Cong nodded, and a strong anger suddenly ignited in Li Shou's center.
He grabbed Jia Cong's shirt: "So, these are your students who are calculating the old man, calculating the old man?"
"How can it be a calculation? Is it not the duty of our saints and disciples to read the books of the sages, to do what is right, and to administer the righteousness of the world?"
Jia Cong's words made Li Shouzhong, who had read the sage books all his life, stunned for a moment, and then let go of his hand and muttered to himself: "Yes, yes, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"
Since Baoyu, many people have taken the stage to discuss the Tao, and they have continuously improved the recital of the upcoming knock on the palace.
These are not only the newly promoted Jinshi, the unsuccessful Juzi, the children who have just entered the school, the prisoners of the Guozijian, but also the white-haired Confucianism in Beijing.
Jia Cong wrote his name on the named roster, and turned his gaze to the nobles of Beijing on the high platform on the right.
Daiyu had already taken out another copy of the note and discussed it eagerly with those like-minded nobles in Beijing.
Of course, the joint recital of their group of women was not for the emperor, but was intended to be sent to the harem and presented to the Empress Cao Niangniang.
"Brother Liu's speech is too biased,
Who says women enjoy leisure?
Men fight to the border,
Women's Textile ...... in the Homeland"
Jia Cong hummed a tune and walked outside the Guozi Prison with his hands behind his back.
Daiyu wants to unite with the nobles of Beijing to organize a charity dedicated to helping girls and children, which she had already envisioned in Wang Pingkou.
Jia Cong helped him improve the setting of the organization, and asked him to unite the nobles in Beijing to take this opportunity to elect the Empress Dowager Cao or the imperial concubine Yang as the head of the society, which can be regarded as echoing the book on Baoyu's side and expanding its influence.
Everything was developing in the direction originally envisaged, Jia Cong stepped onto the war donkey Dabao, and gently patted the whip's brain: "Dabao, let's go, let's do our own thing!"
The time of the Gyeonggi Provincial Entrance Examination has been announced, and just half a month later, on April 27, the Gyeonggi Prefecture Examination will naturally be held in Suncheon, so more and more students from various state capitals have gathered to come to Beijing.
Coupled with the fact that they have not yet left the capital, more and more people have joined the mighty army of books.
Baoyu has been dragged out of the house at dawn for several days, and the action on the book is faintly headed by Baoyu, Jia Cong continues to flicker Baoyu who wants to retreat from time to time, and at the same time arranges for his own soldiers to keep an eye on his situation at all times, to prevent anyone from noticing that something is wrong and the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.
On April 19, the Dengwen drum standing in front of the Great Xia Gate was beaten.
A letter of tens of thousands of words was submitted to the palace, which completely opened the prelude to the huge students' arguments, petitions for the people's lives, and requests for changes.
Baoyu and dozens of representatives of the princes were personally summoned by the emperor and the prince, although no specific measures have been reported, but the emperor issued an edict at the great court meeting on the second day, ordering the political envoys, the administrative capital division, and the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xuanzheng Yuan to report the land ownership, field production and population of each place according to the facts.
At the same time, Xu Jin, the right deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace, ordered the governor to be in charge of the military and political affairs of the north and south Zhili, and presided over many matters such as clearing the acres of land in the two provinces of the south and the north, clarifying the land and property, checking the hidden population, and punishing the lawless gentry and heroes.
He also ordered the crown prince Liu Hong to inspect the Gyeonggi Huangzhuang and officially implement the "Shuntianfu Relief and Resettlement of the Displaced People" submitted by Jia Cong.
On April 27, Jia Cong and Baoyu once again walked into the Shuncheonfu Examination Institute and went to the Gyeonggi Provincial Examination Institute for the sixth year of Wonwoo.
This time, the person who presided over the Gyeonggi Provincial Academy Examination was a courtesy
Ministry Langzhong and Gyeonggi Provincial Scholar Dai Xingzhi.
This person is an upright person, with a clean personality, and he greatly appreciates Baoyu's government trial theory that scolded the ministers of the imperial court.
In addition, recently, there have been articles about Baoyu in the Guozi Supervision School Yard all over the capital, and the favorability has been full all of a sudden.
During the college examination, Baoyu came to a fierce rhetorical policy theory, and Dai Xingzhi saw at a glance that this exam paper was Baoyu nine times out of ten, and put it in the eleventh position of the college examination.
As for the top ten, they are all rare good articles, and he just likes the fierce and sharp article, and he has to say fairly, this person can only be the imperial history, not a pro-people official.
The results of the college examination were soon announced, and the head of the case was still Jia Cong of Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture, Baoyu, the eleventh unprecedented scholar, was recognized by the scholars in Beijing, and there was no jealousy.
Because Baoyu had beaten the Dengwen drum in all the named Shangshu palaces in that day, according to the system of the dynasty, they would be punished.
Of course, the emperor who was already behind the back to support the book waved his hand to avoid punishment, but this incident still made Baoyu a man with a backbone like the political master who was not afraid of life and death and asked for the people's life.
Ning Rongjia's family suddenly produced two talented people, and the seriousness of Lord Jing in the past was gone.
The old lady was even more overjoyed, and wanted to hold a feast for three days, so she invited the troupe to have a good time.
In the end, after returning home, the old man persuaded the old lady, saying that there was a lot of trouble in the capital today to ask for the people's lives, and it was Baoyu who took the lead, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Baoyu looked at the father's eyes, who were appreciative and headaches, and shrunk his neck: "It's not the son who wants to take the lead, it's Brother Cong...... Woo woo woo ...... "
Jia Cong covered Baoyu's mouth, grinned and dragged him out.
"The second uncle talked to my grandmother, and I took the second brother to play outside."
Woowoo......
Baoyu was dragged to the courtyard by Jia Cong, and Jia Cong flickered again, and finally let Baoyu rekindle his righteousness and go to a party with those friends he knew.
Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, it rained in Gyeonggi for several days.
The huge petition for the people slowly faded into heat, and the emperor's means of controlling public opinion were extremely clever.
After taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the young man to restart the Qingzhang field and start the Dharma change, he issued an order to praise the students who were named and wrote this time.
After pacifying the group of scholars, the court seemed to fall into peace.
But these are only calms on the surface, and the dark tide inside is turbulent, which makes Lin Ruhai, the left attendant of the household department, frightened.
On this day, Jia Cong took Lin Ruhai's father and daughter out of Beijing and went to Jia's Zhuangzi in the west of the city.
"This year has been quite good, and the potatoes are growing very well. In another month, the harvest will be complete."
Lin Ruhai looked at the gratifying vines growing in the ground, and wanted to dig up a place to see the fruits buried in the ground in his son-in-law's mouth, but he was worried that he would hurt the seedlings.
If you can really produce 30 stones per mu, then ......
The more I thought about it, the more incredible it became, Lin Ruhai's hands were trembling slightly.
I only listened to Jia Cong's eloquent talk: "These potatoes are carefully cultivated and cared for by old farmers, and the yield per mu is at least 40 stones. If it is a rough seed, the thin field can also have about 20 stones, and if it is popularized, it will definitely make the people no longer suffer from hunger. Of course, this potato certainly doesn't taste as good as rice......
"It's good to be full, it's good to be full."
Lin Ruhai carefully touched the emerald green potato vines, and after repeatedly confirming the harvest time, he directly threw down Jia Cong and Daiyu, and quickly returned to Beijing.
Daiyu came out of another flower house, where a kind of food was also cultivated.
She looked left and right to find Lin Ruhai, and asked suspiciously, "Where's Daddy?"
Jia Cong replied with a smile: "Uncle is in a hurry to go back and ask Lao Pixiu for silver, potatoes can be called auspicious, and the household department will definitely not let others take the lead."
Poof......
"Master Wen is estimated to be distressed to death, but this silver has to be paid out again, say no
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he would run to the Diligent Palace and cry in front of His Majesty."
Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed, because she knew that Jia Cong had spent a lot of money and effort in order to cultivate potatoes and remove the toxins from potatoes.
If Wen Tongxuan wants to get good seeds from Jia Cong, what kind of plaque will he give in the past, and it will not work to say that he is loyal to the country.
In order to make the imperial court pay attention to the research and development of agricultural science and technology, and improve the enthusiasm of the people of the Central Plains to cultivate grain varieties, Jia Cong opened his mouth this time.
The household department has to use 500,000 silver to buy the potato seeds of the Jia family, and he will hand over the cultivation, storage, and consumption of potatoes to the household department.
As if to confirm Daiyu's speculation, Wen Tongxuan was overjoyed when he heard Lin Ruhai say that there was grain with a yield of forty stones per mu, and after a short period of surprise.
Grandpa Tian, if this thing is true, then wouldn't he Wen Tongxuan want to create a prosperous world that has no ancients before and no one after him.
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and let someone make a plaque, and ask for a reward, so that our people can take over the land!"
Lin Ruhai spread his hands and said helplessly, "But Jia Cong said that he asked people to find this grain from Western countries thousands of miles away. There are dozens of people who died at sea alone, and a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on cultivating them, and there were not 800,000 taels of silver, so I don't think about it!"
What? 800,000 taels of silver? Why don't you grab it?
To pull away so much silver from the household, isn't this digging up the old man's meat?
Wen Tongxuan blew his beard and glared, and walked around the room angrily for a while.
Suddenly, he heard Lin Ruhai say quietly: "This is a blessing from heaven, so that my emperor has a good opportunity to bless all the people. I don't think it's better for the royal treasury to come out of this silver."
Wen Tongxuan slapped his thigh and laughed at Lin Ruhai in surprise.
"Ruhai, you are really a natural householder, and you have already won the spiritual concept of my household!"
