Chapter 88: The First Encounter After Ascending the Throne
On the third day after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he summoned Jia Yu, and the chamberlain took Jia Yu outside the imperial study, and explained Jia Yu's identity to another chamberlain, and the other chamberlain politely asked Jia Yu to wait, and then turned around and entered the imperial study.
Jia Yu's divine sense followed the attendant into the imperial study, and the saint was intently commenting on the folding. The chamberlain didn't dare to disturb, just stood aside and waited. The saint is self-disciplined and disciplined, not only strict with others, but also unrelaxed with himself. The attendants around him knew this, so they would not come forward to disturb him when he was concentrating on something. Jia Yu looked at the saint with his divine sense, although the saint had just ascended the throne for a few days, but he had always been expressionless, and released cold air from time to time, he used to be known as His Royal Highness with a cold face, and now the momentum on his body is even stronger, compared to the emperor or there are still shortcomings, but given time, it must be more than that.
After reading the recital, the saint wrote a note on it, which was not ambiguous at all. He has also helped the Emperor Taishang deal with political affairs for a long time, but now there is less step of asking the Emperor Taishang, and it is more efficient. The waiter who was waiting on the side took advantage of the saint's approval of a fold, and stretched out his hand to the second fold, and stepped forward to report the arrival of Jia Amnesty.
After hearing this, the saint motioned for Jia Yu to come in, and when the inner servant came out, Jia Yu had already collected his divine sense.
"See the Holy One. Jia Yu came to the desk and stopped a few steps to give a salute.
"Flat. The saint stood up, and with a wave of his hand, several of the attendants in the imperial study withdrew.
"Thank you. Jia Yu stood up after the salute, but he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Enhou, you are still separated from me. The saint looked at Jia Yu and sighed for a long time.
"The ministers are afraid, the saints, the courtesies of the kings and ministers must not be observed. Jia Yu said meticulously.
"I still remember a few years ago, Wen Kangdi, I and Enhou drank and talked together in the Zhuangyuan Building. He put his hands behind his back and looked out the window.
Jia Yu also remembered the days at that time, because of Jia Yu's help, Wen Kangdi's position as the crown prince began to stabilize, and his mentality slowly became no longer impatient, and he often got together with the saint and Jia Yu in the Zhuangyuan Building, but memories are just memories, and Wen Kangdi is no longer there.
"One day, Emperor Wen Kangdi asked me and Jia Yu about their ambitions, does Enhou remember what he said that day?" asked the saint.
Jia Yu was stunned, he didn't expect the saint to mention this matter.
"I haven't forgotten that Emperor Wen Kangdi said that he wanted to be a generation of Ming monarchs, and I said that I wanted to be a virtuous king by Emperor Wen Kangdi's side, but what Jia Yu said shocked both Emperor Wen Kangdi and me. ”
The saint turned around: "Enhou said that the people of the Great Kang Dynasty will no longer be hungry, so that the people of the entire Great Kang Dynasty can be literate." ”
"The minister was too arrogant at that time. Jia Yu remembered the scene at that time, the three of them drank a few more glasses, and they became a little enthusiastic when they spoke, Jia Yu listened to what Emperor Wen Kangdi and the saint said, and said this pride and ambition for a while.
"Don't hide it from Enhou, I didn't believe it at the time, I felt that Enhou had a lot, and he was talking drunk. However, Wen Kangdi believed it. Shengshang said with a look of recollection.
Jia Yu was shocked, he didn't expect Wen Kangdi to believe what he said casually at the banquet.
"After that, I asked Emperor Wen Kangdi why he believed it, Enhou, do you know what Emperor Wen Kangdi said?"
"The minister is ignorant. Jia Yu shook his head and said.
Wen Kangdi said that he was willing to believe Enhou, because what Enhou said was what Wen Kangdi wanted to do. Sheng Shang said with a smile.
Jia Yu suddenly realized that Emperor Wen Kangdi was indeed such a person, and all he wanted to do was to make the world more beautiful, and the people would have three meals and clothing. If so many things hadn't happened to Wen Kangdi, if Wen Kangdi was still here, if... But in fact, there are not so many ifs at all, Jia Yu thought regretfully.
"As Wen Kangdi said, I am also willing to believe in Enhou, because I am also the same as Wen Kangdi. The saint's voice gradually increased, indicating that the saint's heart was not at peace.
"The minister is afraid, the minister is afraid that there is nothing to do, and the minister now has no ambition of the day. Jia Yu excused himself, in fact, after the death of Emperor Wen Kangdi and Shi Shi, Jia Yu no longer had much interest in officialdom.
"I know Enhou's skills, Enhou introduced prolific grain varieties when Emperor Wen Kang was still here, so so that the people of the Dakang Dynasty can have food and clothing, Enhou, you have already done the first point. The Holy Mountain said.
"Enhou said that without the pride and ambition of the day, it should be that Emperor Wen Kang is still haunted, right?" said the saint with certainty. "Actually, Enhou shouldn't be like this, for the sake of Wen Kangdi, Enhou should work harder to complete the two Wen Kangdi's will. ”
"Enhou, I hope you can help me. The Holy One finally spoke. In fact, from the time the Holy Lord summoned him, Jia Yu knew that his leisure days were coming to an end, but he didn't expect that the Holy Lord wanted him to do these two things.
These two things were completed by Jia Yu when Wen Kangdi was still there, but unfortunately Wen Kangdi was not there. Now that the saint has mentioned it, Jia Yu can only agree, the companion is like a tiger, and if the saint thinks that he is unwilling to do it because he thinks that the saint is not as good as Emperor Wen Kang, what should he do when he is angry? He doesn't think that the king of a country can tolerate the rejection of his courtiers, and he doesn't even show any difference in his face, in case the saint is dissatisfied with it, it will be bad to settle the account.
"Ministers should do their best to share the sorrows of the saints. Jia Yu said without hesitation, since he can't avoid it, let him do a full set of plays.
Shengshang smiled and nodded, obviously satisfied that Jia Yu was subdued by his own Wang domineering, he had worked with Jia Yu, and Jia Yu was also recommended by him to Emperor Wen Kang, so naturally he would not let go of such a talent, not to mention that Jia Yu was only in his twenties, and he could at least assist him for a few decades.
"Holy Lord, in fact, the first point has not really been completed. "Now that he has decided to assist the Holy Lord, Jia Yu no longer hides his frustrations.
"Oh, let's hear it. The Holy Lord asked with interest.
"Does the Holy One know the causes of famine in the past, but what else is there besides natural disasters?" asked Jia Yu.
"Enhou refers to the family?" asked the saint with an unswerving face.
"It is the compatibility of the land, resulting in the people have no land to cultivate, so they can only rent for the landlords, and hand over most of the income as rent, leaving only to make their own families hungry. Jia Yu explained.
"Damn, the agricultural taxes of the Great Kang Dynasty have always been low, can't this solve this problem?" asked Sheng Shangtie with a blushing face.
"It is true that the Dakang Dynasty only collects one percent of the tax, but the land rent is fifty percent or even sixty percent, which cannot solve this problem at all. Jia Yu said.
"Enhou, is there a good plan?"
