In the eighth year of Daqian Yuanfeng, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to promote new wheat, saying that the yield of new wheat per mu was two stones and a half, and the people were happy and rushed to cultivate. Zhao Guo, a farmer sage, a man of the world, is good at cultivating corn, and is called the god of Ji at the time.

Thanks to the long-term investment of the Daqian royal family, various crop seeds are collected and cultivated through hybridization. The result is a high-yielding crop.

During this period, the time and money spent by the royal family are almost incalculable, with a history of hundreds of years and a large amount of money to cultivate, which has led to today's harvest.

In addition to the high-yield corn, the imperial court has vigorously cultivated bean in recent years. This is because the time from planting to maturity is very short, and the fertility of the field after planting is significantly higher than that of the farmland without planting the soybean.

On the other hand, the imperial court's demand for beans is increasing, and soybean meal is the best feed for feeding war horses, which need soybean meal, eggs, etc., in addition to feeding grass. The imperial court used hundreds of thousands of war horses every year, and the amount of soybean meal needed was very high.

Therefore, the annual agricultural tax is necessary in addition to grain, beans.

The promotion of high-yield crops by the imperial court has been sought after by people all over the world, after all, everyone wants more food in their hands. The imperial court began to distribute a large number of good seeds to various places and sell them to the common people.

In order to prevent local officials and nobles from monopolizing these good breeds, Wang Xin directly ordered the inspection of the imperial history and the embroidery envoys to supervise, and strictly ordered those who dared to violate the rules to be exiled by the whole family.

The royal family is always vigilant about these noble and powerful officials, and has no doubt about how low the lower limit of these people is.

Under the vigorous promotion of the royal family, coupled with the supervision of the embroidered envoy, although there are still people secretly changing good breeds, these people have a miserable end.

Wang Xin has never been a soft-hearted person.

A large number of nobles, heroes, and officials who dared to touch the bottom line were directly ordered by Wang Xin to be beheaded, and then the whole family was exiled to the Western Regions, Liaodong and Lelang County.

In the following year, grain production in the Central Plains and the north increased by 20%, and the imperial court's agricultural taxes were also raised, and even commerce and trade became prosperous.

Since a few years ago, Wang Xin vigorously checked the commercial tax, and after paying the commercial tax and obtained a large amount of land, the trade in many areas has inevitably fallen into a trough.

Now that people's incomes have increased, the demand for goods has naturally increased, and commerce has become prosperous. And the abundant harvest of grain also made the prestige of the royal family even higher.

Outside the city of Handan, there is a rural academy.

Although the academy is located in the countryside, it is built in a very elegant atmosphere, the academy is located at the foot of a mountain, covering a vast area, the academy is dotted with rockery ponds, bamboo forest corridors and houses are all over the place.

At this time, in one of the houses, several middle-aged people dressed as Confucian scholars were engaged in a heated argument.

"The Spring and Autumn Period of the Huaigong is a Confucian classic, and Confucius personally compiled a part of it and annotated it, how can you let it be so distorted?" A Confucian student shouted a loud scold.

"What is misinterpretation?" The Confucian scholar who was reprimanded was not angry, and said righteously: "Are these deeds fake? ”

"The king is virtuous, and God protects him, and he can show miracles, which is the feeling of heaven and man! In the past, the assassination of the Huai King, the white rainbow through the sun, the thorn of Jing Ke, the comet hitting the moon, the assassination of Nie Zheng, the puppet of Han Zheng, and the goshawk hitting the palace, all of them are warnings from heaven! ”

"Nonsense! You are far-fetched! Another middle-aged Confucian next to him said dissatisfiedly.

"Far-fetched? When the King of Hao Tianwen was exiled in Huaishui, and the army of Bang Zhou chased him, what was the explanation for the heavy rain? ”

"But it just happened!"

"Coincidentally? The rain doesn't fall early or late, why does it rain at night, and King Wen actually prepared a boat raft in advance, what is the explanation? ”

"This is a familiar celestial phenomenon, and it is speculated that there has been rain recently!"

"During the period of the Duke of Huaihuan, the Jin State attacked Huai, the heavenly general fire dragon, burned the camp for dozens of miles, and the Jin State and the princes were defeated, how can this be explained?"

"That's Huan Gong and Sun Xiang's skills, attacking and harassing with night fire, the night wind blows, and the company camp is burned."

"Hahaha, you also said that it was the night wind blowing, isn't this a help from heaven?"

"Dong Zhongshu, you can use strong words!" The Confucian was furious.

Dong Zhongshu said unhurriedly: "It's not a strong word, but the protection of God, and if the monarch is virtuous, God will help him!" This is the induction of heaven and man! ”

"The first emperor sacrificed to heaven and earth, Mount Tai sealed Zen, and there was a golden dragon ascending to heaven, doesn't this indicate that Daqian is orthodox in the world, and God protects him?"

"The Zhou Dynasty is still red, King Wen of Zhou saw that the Red Bird Title Dan Book was collected in the Zhou Society, which is the fire virtue, the Huai country is still black, it is the water virtue, and the Huai extinguished the Zhou Dynasty officially water and fire. The rise and fall of dynasties, the rotation of the five virtues, and the induction of heaven and man! ”

The more Dong Zhongshu spoke, the more excited he became, he found perfect logical self-consistency in "Spring and Autumn", and for a while no one else in the room could refute his theory.

After perfecting his theory, Dong Zhongshu began to give lectures and publicize his ideas, "Heaven and man are inductive, the king is virtuous, the heavens are protected, the king is immoral, and the heavens are disgusted", this set of theories is extremely attractive to many Confucian scholars, and the logical self-consistency is even more perfect than what happened in real history.

Of course, there are many people who respect it, and naturally some people dislike it, and many people regard its doctrine as the way of gods and ghosts, and some radicals even think that it is not Confucianism.

But the disgust of these people could not prevent the spread of Dong Zhongshu's doctrine. In this world, Huai Guo had too many miracles back then, which gave his set of celestial and human induction more theoretical support.

At the same time, the miracle of the royal family, and the fact that there are many people who want to pat the royal family's sycophants, these people gather together, and the momentum is naturally very high.

After Dong Zhongshu gained a high reputation, he wrote to the imperial court, saying that heaven and man are inducted, and the five virtues are alternated.

The book was soon sent to the palace, Wang Xin also frowned after seeing this book, the heaven and man induction mentioned on this book, the set of alternating five virtues, he knew very well that it was a few more blind to write.

There is no heaven and man induction, and the five virtues alternate, can he not know? Shelter from above? That's the Ancestor Shelter.

For their Wang clan, there is indeed the protection of the heavens, but for others, even Zhou Tianzi, will King Hao Tianwen be protected? No kidding.

And he knew very well that the ancestor never wanted to combine the so-called divine power and the monarchy. It is also for this reason that when the country was established in Daqian, he never preached any miracles and auspiciousness, not to mention that the Wang family had a Qin Tianjian who knew that those astronomical phenomena were the movement of celestial bodies, and therefore made a calendar.

Preaching these gods and ghosts will not add anything to the royal family, but will be used by others, when even said: "The way of heaven is constant, not to Yaoxing, not to the king." "Directly rejected this book.
