"What's the use of you're lashing out here?"

Xia Jing stared at him expressionlessly, "Dayu's recent generations of emperors have all emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and the nobles have declined, and there is not much room left for them to survive when they are excluded, how do you make Dayu strong?" ”

"In the Huiyuan period, it was even more off the line, and the military power actually fell into the hands of civilian officials, and you let the civilian officials with pens in their hands get on the horse? A civilian official who only knows how to play tricks to command soldiers and horses? In this case, how can the soldiers and horses of the Yu Dynasty on the battlefield exert their true strength? ”

"The civil officials have lost the checks and balances of the nobles, the court has lost its balance, and the civil officials have slowly developed into monsters that grow savagely! It seems not surprising that the emperor has become a complete puppet inside and outside the court, and it has become a complete puppet! ”

The most real example is the history of the assassination of the state capitals, according to the early years of the Yu system, the history of the assassin is only a local civil official, and the local garrison is held by another general.

Later, it slowly evolved into a state military and political power.

The military and political power is in his hands, and all local affairs must not be dictated by Lord Assassin Shi alone.

It can be said that in addition to the princes and kings occupying a city and a place, the local thorn history is another way to rule the local princes and kings.

What is even more ironic is that Emperor Huiyuan carried out political reforms and cut down the princes and kings stationed in various parts of the border.

The court can't control it, and the border lands are under the management of the imperial court, isn't this sending the land to the civil officials?

The result?

Civilian officials manage the border army, and the corrupt officials rule the border army can't even pay military salaries and can't eat enough, so how can soldiers and horses defend the frontier?

As a result, the emperor sitting in the palace has become a puppet.

When he arrived at the new emperor, whatever he wanted to do, he had to get the consent of the ministers in the court, not to mention that he wanted to promote his henchmen to the top.

However, in addition to the new emperor being free to sit on the dragon chair, other matters will be decided by civil officials.

This way of living is very aggrieved.

It's no wonder that the new emperor has been a bit crazy lately!

King Qian endured his anger and asked sincerely: "The princess's words today are very disadvantageous, and I don't know what we should do next?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at the children by the window, turned her head to look at King Qian, and her red lips lightly spat out eight words: "Overthrow the old system and implement the new policy!" ”

Only by re-establishing order can the whole society get back on track.

"Overthrow the old system and implement a new deal?" King Qian didn't seem satisfied with this answer, "What you said is in the future, Jiankang is now besieged by rebels, what should we do now?" ”

Xia Jing looked at him anxiously and asked, "What does the prince want to do?" ”

"What do you say this king leads his troops to King Qin?" King Qian seemed to be afraid that Xia Jing would not agree, and continued: "When my Li royal family encounters a major event of life and death, this king can't just sit idly by, right?" If you really stand by and watch, then Jiankang will fall, I am afraid that the people of the world will nail this king to the pillar of shame! ”

Xia Jing shrugged, "It's a pity that the new emperor didn't think of you, my cousin, when it was life and death!" ”

“.” King Qian sat on the sofa with his shoulders crossed.

After a long time, he asked, "Is the new emperor afraid that this king will seek power and usurp the throne?" ”

Xia Jing shook her head: "I don't know the new emperor, how do I know what he thinks in his heart?" Maybe he didn't think of you at all, after all, you were the best among the gentlemen in the capital! He'll come to your rescue when his head gets in the water! ”

King Qian: "."

Don't be angry, don't be angry!

Compared with the siege of the rebels, Xia Jing's unpleasant words could no longer cause his mood to fluctuate.

King Qian didn't have the heart to stay here, so he went back to the palace first, probably to discuss countermeasures with his staff.

As soon as he left, the children sitting by the window breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Jing cleaned up her mood, walked over and rubbed their little heads, and asked with a smile: "The prince stayed here, giving you pressure?" ”

Li Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "They don't know how to get along with their grandfather, so they seem a little restrained." ”

"Just treat it normally next time, don't have a psychological burden." Xia Jing knew that she was also admonishing, but there were some things that had to be said.

In fact, King Qian had little contact with them, only knew his status and did not understand his personality, so he had a sense of awe.

It will be better to get familiar with it in the future.

The dragon and lion dance was very exciting, and the children were engrossed in watching it.

Xia Jing admitted that their performances were very exciting, but all the dragon and lion dance teams moved almost the same, and it was a little tired to watch them a few more times.

Xia Jing asked Hongmei to arrange dinner for the evening, and she sat at the desk to deal with the documents sent by Xia Ji from all over the place.

——

King Qian went back to discuss countermeasures with his staff, and this discussion took three days.

Three days later.

King Qian found the Yigui Courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he smelled a sweet smell.

"What kind of scent is this? It smells so good! ”

Anu swallowed and shook his head: "The old slave has never smelled this fragrance, it should be the taste of food." ”

Because when he smelled it, his mouth watered.

Following the fragrance, the master and servant walked to the door of the small kitchen in the Yigui Courtyard.

As soon as Hongmei put the roasted sweet potatoes into the tray, she found a figure standing at the door blocking the light, and when she looked up, she was startled.

"Lord Wang, you're here!"

Standing at the door of the kitchen, the domineering aroma of roasted sweet potatoes went straight to his nose, King Qian ignored Hongmei's surprised expression, pointed to the sweet potatoes on the tray and asked, "What kind of food is this?" Why is it so fragrant? ”

"This is a roasted sweet potato, the taste is sweet and fragrant, it is very delicious, the prince will come here and have a good taste."

"Roasted sweet potatoes?" The name of this food was the first time King Qian had heard of it.

"Come in if you want to eat, don't block the kitchen door with a big man!"

King Qian heard Xia Jing's voice, turned around and looked, and sure enough, he saw Xia Jing standing at the door of the main house, followed by Bai Mei's girl.

"Why did you get out?" King Qian smiled.

"When I heard movement in the yard, I thought it was a rat and came out to take a look." Xia Jing said that, then turned around and returned to the main house with Bai Mei.

King Qian touched his nose in embarrassment, he was just curious about what kind of food emanated this fragrance, how could it become a mouse in the princess's mouth in a blink of an eye?

After being stunned, seeing that Xia Jing had already entered the main house, he walked up and followed.

Anu and Hongmei glanced at each other, and obediently followed into the main house to wait.

King Qian sat next to Xia Jing, pointed to the roasted sweet potatoes on the table and asked, "Princess, where did you get this food?" ”

Xia Jing picked up a roasted sweet potato, peeled off half of the burnt skin, and handed it to King Qian: "You taste it first." ”

King Qian took it and took a bite gently, "It tastes good!" Thou hast not told the king where you got this food? ”

Xia Jing peeled one for herself, took a bite and said, "Do you remember that in my yard last year, did you see the little girl planting sweet potatoes in the flower bed?" ”

King Qian ate while learning Xia Jing's movements to peel off the remaining skin.

He listened to Xia Jing's words and asked in surprise, "You mean that this sweet potato is the sweet potato seedlings?" ”

"Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes, they don't bear on vines, they grow in the ground, they are rhizomes and not fruits." Xia Jing corrected his words.

"Oh, how does it produce?"

People who are born to reach the end of someone else's life will not appreciate what it means to have one more food?

Xia Jing listened to his faint tone, and felt unhappy, "Do you know what its output is?" Are there any requirements for the growing environment? ”

King Qian swallowed the last mouthful of sweet potato, took a sip of tea, and followed her words and asked, "How much is the yield?" What are the requirements for the growing environment? ”

"One mu can reach up to eight or nine hundred catties, the growth environment requirements are lower, and sandy and slopes can be planted."

"Bang dang!"

King Qian reached out and picked up a sweet potato, and after listening to Xia Jing's words, the sweet potato he had just picked up in his hand fell on the plate again.

He looked at Xia Jing in shock and asked in disbelief, "How much is the yield of an acre of land?" ”

"Eight or nine hundred pounds!"

Xia Jing said that the yield is estimated, in ancient times, this level of cultivation, she did not dare to report high, the yield of sweet potatoes in later generations is considerable because of the flood of chemical fertilizers in later generations, resulting in planting in the field to take care of the crops without a good harvest.

"Can you plant on sandy slopes?"

"Yes!"

"This shows that this crop does not pick the ground, and there is such a good crop in the world?"

Xia Jing glanced at him and knocked on the tall coffee table: "Did you come here today for something?" ”

King Qian sighed and asked, "Is the yield of this sweet potato really so high?" ”

"Yes." Now Xia Jing was finally satisfied, this is the normal reaction of the ancients when they heard about the output.

You said one more kind of food, King Qian didn't realize that it was a big deal, and when it came to the yield, he was excited.

No matter how much he doesn't divide the grains and the four bodies are not diligent, he also knows the approximate yield of grain in an acre of land.

"I said don't get excited, are you okay when you came over today?"

King Qian looked back at Anu before he remembered the so-called matter of coming over today, "Oh, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you." ”

Xia Jing watched him quietly, waiting for his next step.

King Qian glanced at Xia Jing and said cautiously: "This king discussed with several gentlemen for a few days, and finally decided to lead the troops to help Jiankang. ”

"You don't have to be so cautious when talking to me, as for what you said about helping Jiankang, since it has been decided, let's do it as soon as possible." Xia Jing didn't even think about it, and agreed directly.

Her reaction made King Qian stunned, he never thought that Xia Jing would support him so much to go to King Qin.

He asked again uncertainly: "You don't object to this king taking away the soldiers and horses of Lingnan?" ”

Xia Jing smiled: "What you took away is your soldiers and horses, without your soldiers and horses, don't I still have tens of thousands of people here, with them, Lingnan is not afraid to come to find fault with a long eye." ”

The corners of King Qian's mouth twitched twice, and finally he didn't say anything more.

Because he knew that it was impossible for him to take Xia Jing's soldiers and horses, he didn't speak again.

After King Qian's master and servant left, Hongmei cleaned up the table and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't the princess stop the princess from leading the troops to help Jiankang?" ”

You must know that the prince used to be only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun in the capital, and it was good to be a gentleman, and let him lead the troops was like a child taking a big knife to the street.

Don't arrive, the soldiers and horses will be wiped out by other enemy troops before they reach Jiankang!

Xia Jing glanced at her, took a sweet potato and peeled it slowly, "Girl, don't underestimate Xiang Rongrang, he is the commander of the Lingnan soldiers and horses, but he is not a vegetarian." ”

The last few times they fought against the enemy, they were able to win, and they relied on real skills.

Besides, before making any decisions, the few staff members who followed King Qian were not decorations.

With such a double insurance, Xia Jing was not afraid that King Qian would be swallowed by the enemy when he left Lingnan.

"But." Hongmei was still worried about King Qian, "The slave maid heard that the rebels are known as an army of 300,000, so in comparison, the prince's soldiers and horses are not enough to make dumplings for the enemy." ”

Xia Jing smiled and shook her head, "If I stop it today, believe it or not, if Jiankang really falls, and the new emperor is captured or commits suicide, in the days to come, as long as the prince thinks of this incident, he will blame me in his heart." ”

Why should she make herself not human inside and out!

Hongmei pursed her lower lip, she is not a fool, of course she knows that what Xia Jing said is reasonable.

It's just that "the prince has too few soldiers and horses." ”

"Don't worry, trust me, he'll be fine." Xia Jing can only comfort this, and don't say much else.

Since the fleet went to sea, the soldiers and horses that King Lingnan Qian could take away were about 50,000, which was far from the 300,000 of the rebels.

Many people don't understand his decision, and some people think that King Qian is going to die, and it is not enough to make dumplings for the enemy.

What is even more ironic is that King Qian consulted his four sons at home and asked them if they were willing to go with him to quell the rebellion.

As a result, except for the four sons who were stupid except for the big house, the other three all found various excuses to stay.

The performance of his sons made King Qian's heart feel cold, he was guilty!

raised a group of unfilial descendants for the Li royal family!

At this time, he found that among the several sons, the youngest Xiao Wu had hard work.

If it weren't for Xiao Wu, he would have gone to sea, he really wanted to test Xiao Wu's attitude.

As soon as King Qian led the team to leave, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the border guard post in Lingnan, the soldiers and horses stationed in Fucheng only had Xia Jing's 50,000 soldiers and horses.

As there are more and more refugees outside the city, the pressure on these 50,000 soldiers and horses is also increasing, and the safety of Fucheng and the surrounding areas is all on them.

The weather in Lingnan is warm, and spring plowing will soon be available after the New Year.

In order not to delay the season, Xia Jing mobilized all the scribes of the government to go outside the city to register refugees.

If you want to settle down in Lingnan, you can sign up, and the government is responsible for settling down, and each person can be allocated one acre of wasteland.

Furthermore, the wasteland which is divided is tax-free for three years.

With such attractive conditions, it is natural that many refugees are willing to stay and let the government scribes arrange a place to go.

When it was Sha Yuliang's turn, the scribe's gaze at him became wary and suspicious.

"Are you a refugee?"

Sha Yuliang was quite helpless in his heart, but nodded honestly on his face: "Yes, I came to Lingnan a few years ago and has been living in a distant relative's house, but it is not a matter to live in their house all the time." ”

The scribe understood, and his vigilance relaxed a little, "Take your household registration out, I'll help you register, only if you register, you can get the wasteland." ”

Sha Yuliang said expressionlessly: "I don't have a household registration, and I lost my household registration on the way to escape." ”

“.” The scribe was stunned: "Hey, I said you kid, how can you register if you don't have a household registration, and how can you divide the land if you don't register?" ”

Sha Yuliang took advantage of people's inattention to stuff a piece of silver into the scribe's hand, "Please be accommodating, brother, my household registration really fell off on the way to escape, and I haven't found it." ”
