Your Majesty, please draw the card

The emperor's face was sullen, and he thought for a while before speaking——

"Zhang Dequan, I want you to go out of the palace to do something for me. There are quite a few Huangzhuang under my name, but I don't know what's going on. You can go on a tour for me and see if anyone is using my name to bully the village. If there are any farmers, they will be severely punished. The most important point is that you tell the farmers who cultivated for me that from now on, whenever they harvest, they will no longer only keep their own rations and seeds, and the rest will be handed over. I decided to let them use the household Contract the land for the unit, as long as the goal of the year is completed, the extra grain will be owned by the farmers.”

Liu Xi explained the concept of responsible land to Eunuch Zhang in detail, and also said that the goals for each year should be set according to the actual situation. The years of good harvests should be higher, and the years of adversity should be less. day.He thinks that no matter what dynasty or generation, farmers' enthusiasm for farming is related to their income.The previous strategy squeezed out the farmers. The free people who were said to be farming for the emperor were actually worse than slaves. There was no reward for a good harvest, and the government would arrest and question them for a poor harvest.Now, although it seems that there is less collection on the surface, in fact, the enthusiasm of farmers is higher, and the benefits are even greater.Most of the Huangzhuang are located near the capital city. On the one hand, this will stabilize the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, it will also greatly benefit the income. It is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Next, Liu Xi handed over the corn seeds to Eunuch Zhang, and told him to find a reliable farmer to try growing corn.He can give subsidies to farmers and exempt them from paying grain. As long as they develop a method of growing corn within three years, they will be rewarded, and the best household can be awarded a title.

Zhang Dequan was stunned when he heard this, secretly thinking that these farmers are really lucky, the emperor gave them so many benefits just to try something new.He didn't know that the emperor was preparing for the large-scale promotion of corn planting, and thought that the emperor himself wanted to taste the taste of corn.

After sending Eunuch Zhang away, Liu Xi began to think about what else to do in business.The biggest problem now is that he has no one in his hands. If there are trustworthy people to run the business, coupled with his advanced business acumen, it will not be easy to make some money?

Why can't I get a character card!

Gao Lishi wants to stay by his side to help, not to mention that Gao Lishi is not a talent in business.Zhang Dequan is a quick-witted person, and he has recently felt a sense of crisis about his status, so he will try his best to get things done.But Liu Xi still can't rest assured about him. After all, he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. If a good policy is ruined by those who implement it, he will vomit blood in anger?

"Order the Imperial Dining Room, I want to use mapo tofu for dinner." The emperor suddenly ordered Mi Gonggong beside him.

Eunuch Mi already knew the news that Eunuch Zhang was away on business. Although he was jealous, he also felt that this was an opportunity, so he worked extra hard to serve him.It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is completely different from the time in Chenliu's palace, even though he would ask him what happened in the past with a pleasant face, whether he is no longer close.

Could it be that this is because he became the emperor?

Eunuch Mi only felt that his master was much more difficult to understand than before.Although he was young, he also knew that such an emperor would never blindly help his grandmother. He did not dare to do everything or not to do what the Empress Dowager Cao ordered, so he could only be cautiously by the emperor's side.

At the moment, Eunuch Gao is sorting out the books for the emperor (in fact, he copied some helpful ones from the memorials and used them as copybooks for the emperor), and it was finally his turn to serve.Mi Tuan hurriedly conveyed the emperor's will, and took out some interesting gadgets for the emperor to enjoy.But the emperor didn't seem to be interested in this, and he racked his brains but couldn't think of how to please the emperor.Poor Eunuch Mi doesn't know, the emperor is also worried about not being entertained, and in his dreams he misses half of the online games he played!

As expected, there was a dish of mapo tofu in the dish delivered by the imperial kitchen for dinner.Liu Xi vaguely remembered that the pepper was not produced in China, but now it appeared on his dining table, presumably the card system was at work again.

Mapo tofu is a secret word.After dinner, the emperor said that he wanted to read a book alone for a while, and asked Mi Gonggong to guard the door far away, leaving Zhao guards alone to serve in the house.The door of the hall was locked, so no one would know that there was suddenly another person in the room.

Yan Qi knelt in front of the emperor expressionlessly.

"Yan Qi, follow Zhang Dequan for me, you just need to tell me everything he has done and said since he left the palace."

"Yes!" Hearing that it was so simple, he ordered Yan Qi to lift his legs and prepare to leave.

"Hey, wait! You have been raised in the imperial dining room for half a month, why haven't you grown any meat?"

"..."

After a while, Yan Qi saw that the emperor didn't mean to let her go, so she could only reply vaguely: "If you are fat, you will not be able to use a lot of kung fu."

Liu Xi was very insistent on letting Yan Qi gain weight. In his opinion, Yan Qi was just like his younger brother, and he was one of the first character cards he drew. He couldn't take care of others in front of Zhao Yun and others. With such an advantage, he wanted to make up for Yan Qi.

"How can this work?" The emperor exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You are just growing up, and you can't use those skills that hinder your body. Do you eat meat every day? Even if you don't have meat, you still have to eat it Two eggs!"

The corner of Yan Qi's mouth twitched: "...obey the order! This subordinate resigns!"

Yan Qi also left as if fleeing, Liu Xi looked at Zhao Yun, and asked in doubt: "Zilong, what order do you think he obeyed?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Maybe I eat meat and two eggs every day?"

Liu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This... is also good..."

Ever since the emperor noticed the shortage of manpower, he went to the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace more diligently.No way, who let only the empress dowager have props that increase luck in drawing cards?Thinking of the cheating cards he drew when he didn't activate the "Daily Prayer" system, the emperor wished he could report to Changle Palace with his eyelids open.

After another month, Ka Liuxi, a second- and third-rank civil servant and military general, also collected a small pile.He arranged some of these people in the Forbidden Army, sent some to various borders, arranged some in less conspicuous positions, and appointed some as local officials to send abroad.These positions won't play a big role for the time being, but the future role will be immeasurable. These people will become the most die-hard royalists, competing with foreign relatives!

The biggest advantage of using card characters is that you can determine the purpose of these people according to the card level and biography, and you are not afraid of using the wrong person at all.Therefore, the emperor lived a very happy life.Liu Xi thought that if the "current activity" could be activated someday, maybe there would be even greater benefits.It's a pity that he searched and searched but couldn't find other props related to the god card in the palace, so he could only put this matter on hold temporarily.

The emperor is slowly deploying manpower, the faction of the Empress Dowager continues to control the government, and the faction of the Empress Dowager is temporarily silent because Zhao Wenshan went to the front line of disaster relief in person, which also makes Liu Xi look at Zhao Wenshan with admiration.After all, judging from the current sanitation conditions, the flooded areas are still very dangerous.There was a short period of calm in the court, but a new force gradually became active.

The emperor's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Cao, has always wanted to help her family, which is often the case at this time.She successively asked her two older brothers to be made marquises, and the emperor approved them one by one.However, her two elder brothers are both ignorant and incompetent old dandies, it's good to be an idle Marquis, but if they really let them go to court to discuss politics, it will only be a joke.

The Empress Dowager Cao was extremely jealous that both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had good brothers, but such a matter could not be rushed, so she set her sights on the next generation.Cao Zi, the youngest son of her elder brother Ning'an Hou, is really a rare talented person in the Cao family, and his poetic talent is widely praised in Chang'an.Especially since he was an old man, only five or six years older than the emperor, Empress Dowager Cao felt that he was just right to be the emperor's companion.The emperor now hangs out with the eunuchs and guards every day, what will happen in the long run!It is better to place a person who can be far above those people by the emperor's side.

Because of such thoughts, Empress Dowager Cao became active everywhere, so that the emperor has always encountered the name Cao Jianxu by chance recently.Empress Dowager Cao originally thought that her nephew's poetry was excellent, and the emperor naturally wanted to meet someone who had seen him after reading his poems, so it was logical to stay with the emperor as his companion.You must know that the emperor has always admired those who can write poems and can write good poems. The reason is probably that the emperor himself is not very good at this aspect.

She didn't know that her grandson had already changed his core, even if he was really interested in ancient poetry culture, he would have worn it out if he was forced to learn metrical lines every day by Gao Lishi.Not to mention Cao Zizhen, even if Cao Zijian ran up to him, he was not interested in meeting him.

It's just that the name appeared more often, and Liu Xi also vaguely guessed her grandmother's intentions.It just so happened that he had just drawn a character card related to poetry, and for the first time, he didn't summon it immediately, but hid it from Gao Lishi and Zhao Yun.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor suddenly "prospered with poetry" and proposed to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Appreciation Conference. The emperor himself would be the judge, and all officials and noble relatives in the court could participate.

"Zilong, guess what I want them to chant?" The emperor asked Zhao Yun in a treacherous manner.

"Zilong dare not guess His Majesty's will."

"I asked you to guess, just guess!"

"Is it Yongju?"

Shaking his head.

"Wing Yue?"

Shaking his head.

"But it has something to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion?"

"No and no."

"I can't figure it out."

"You'll know then!"

The emperor happily glanced at the jade card in his hand again, ignored the disdainful Gao Lishi, and took out another jade card from the hidden compartment under his bed.

[Hairy Crab Card] First-class food card, authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, delicious taste, ten penalties for fake ones.You can get a pair by using it directly, and the price of each pair will be five taels of silver in the future.

"Eunuch Gao, please go to the imperial dining room, and tell me that I want to eat crabs at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Appreciation Conference. The money... the money will come from my inner treasury."

Gao Lishi smiled: "The emperor really loves the people like a son, so let's run for the emperor!"

After Gao Lishi left, Liu Xi signaled Zhao Yun to come closer, and said quietly: "You must stay closer to me on the day of the poetry appreciation conference, I am worried that someone will beat me."

Zhao Yun's face was full of black lines. What the emperor said, if you dare to hit the emperor, isn't that a rebellion?To be on the safe side, he still asked: "Who is going to harm the emperor? Zilong can get rid of him first."

Liu Xi shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say it..."
