Yongding five years, late autumn.

Two years after firearms were widely used in the Zhou army, the king of the Zhou Dynasty used an absolute overwhelming advantage to make all the foreign tribes in the frontier surrender to Zhou, and the territory was assigned to the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.

In the next ten years, the Great Zhou will use the best policy to assimilate those alien vassal states into the people of the Great Zhou.

Since then, fighting has stopped, and the people live in peace.

On the huge map of all nations hanging on the wall of the Nuan Pavilion of the Xuanzheng Palace, the territorial influence of the Great Zhou is getting bigger and bigger, and the border defense line is getting longer and longer.

This is roughly what the ancestors of the Yun family expected: to end war with war and to maintain peace forever.

When the war was at an early level, Han Mochu put forward several new decrees in the court to criticize the current malpractice.

The first thing: After the wars in the border areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a lot of waste was waiting to be revived. The whole dynasty selected Xingjiang officials to govern the border areas and calm the people. If there are local officials who recommend themselves, they will be promoted quickly to restore people's livelihood, understand public opinion, and educate. Frontier barbarians.

The second one: under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, government schools were set up in all states, prefectures, counties, and townships across the country in the name of Yi Ji, a scholar of the state.All the school-age children who have reached the age of seven in the families of the common people will all study in government schools.Two years for boys and three years for girls.During the children's enrollment period, the four seasons quilts for spring, summer, autumn and winter and three meals a day are all distributed by the school.Schoolchildren in poor families can also receive one penny per month.All school children's study expenses will be paid by the local finances at the beginning of the year, and the funds will be used for special purposes. If local officials corrupt this money, the crime will affect the three ethnic groups and will not be pardoned.

The third thing: Those redundant officials who were dismissed at the beginning of the king's ascension to the throne, if they want to go out of office again, they must first teach in a government school for three years before they can enter the hundred officials for performance evaluation. According to their functions, Re-official.

The fourth item: set up the Department of Food and Agriculture, and recruit people who are good at farming, including tenant farmers in various Huangzhuang, to reclaim wasteland throughout the country.Those who can greatly increase grain production and cultivate new crops, no matter what their backgrounds are, will be immediately appointed seven ranks of officials, and they will be given royal salaries.If anyone can farm in the northern wasteland, he will be rewarded with a third-class loyal marquis, and he will be hereditary.According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, all the unowned wasteland in the country will be redistributed equally among the peasant households.Severely eradicate the land mergers of the previous government and clans, reduce taxes and lighten corvees, return farming to agriculture, and equalize grain prices.

The fifth thing is that all officials and clan relatives who actively cooperate with Juntian will be distributed with plaques of meritorious officials.After the issuance of the new decree, the portraits of those who have made outstanding political achievements can be entered into the Langhuan Pavilion after a hundred years, and they can enjoy the sacrifice of the national ancestral temple and be admired by all generations.

As soon as these five new orders came out, Gu Xiu originally thought that there would be at least a big wave of opposition from the court.

At least more than half of the clan members would not cooperate with the household department to re-measure the land.

Unexpectedly, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty were surprisingly unanimous. While admiring Gu Xiu Shengming and Han Taifu's meticulousness, they happily ran errands for the court while clutching their old waist that was about to be broken.

After all, who wouldn't want the portrait to enter the Langhuan Pavilion and be admired by all ages after a hundred years?

Gu Xiu once again admired Han Mochu, he first put a big sweet pastry in front of Manchu civil and military.

Then give them a bunch of hard work, with the existence of this sweet pastry, no matter how big the hard work is, it will become an opportunity for them to make meritorious deeds.

Prince Yucheng Gu Chao, who had always been at odds with Han Mochu, also rarely wrote a letter to raise any objections.

Because under these five new orders, one of his two sons resigned from his official position and insisted on farming in the Northern Wilderness, and the other sharpened his head and went to teach in the private sector.

As a father, he had no choice but to take out the money he had saved over the years and pour it into the treasury generously.

The condition is that his son, who is going to teach in the private sector, will be assigned to a place closer to the capital.

Han Mochu readily accepted.

These five decrees departed from the capital and arrived in various places within seven days.

All of a sudden, the people were boiling.

How many ordinary people who have worked hard in the fields all their lives never dreamed that their children could learn to read and write without money, and those from poor families were given money.If you grow your own land well, you can be appointed as an official without having to take a test of fame, and you can even be appointed as a marquis and prime minister.

The whole country is grateful for the mighty kindness of the emperor.

***

In the afternoon of autumn, the sound of calligraphy in the Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Hall.

The little prince Gu Yucheng was sitting opposite the two fathers, wearing a royal blue round-neck unicorn robe, shaking his head and doing his homework.

That exquisite little gown was a birthday present for Xiao Yucheng made by Mrs. Wu of Shanggong who went to the Needlework Bureau of the palace to learn embroidery techniques from those embroiderers, and spent several nights stitching and threading.

As for Yu Cheng's two fathers who were born on the same day, they could only eat a bowl of longevity noodles.

Gu Xiu was dressed in black Nine Dragons Qingyun clothes, and sat in front of the desk, reviewing the memorial with a focused expression.

Han Mochu was dressed in white clothes Shengxue, with a thin enlightenment book pressed in his hand, his eyes were lightly closed, and he listened to the mistakes and omissions in the sound of the book.

The little prince Gu Yucheng is four and a half years old.

In two years, he grew from a baby dumpling to a white and tender bun.

It is said that whoever the child spends the longest time with will be more inclined towards whom.

Gradually growing up, Xiao Yucheng was born with sword eyebrows and star eyes, red lips and white teeth, delicate and handsome.

Like Gu Xiu, also like Han Mochu.

Gu Xiu was not present when Xiaotuanzi opened the door.

When Yu Cheng was three years old, the frontier war was in full swing.In order to boost morale, King Gu Xiu personally went to Xijiang for a military parade. After going there for three months, after returning, Han Mochu had already enlightened this little one.

From then on, the matter of lecturing and teaching with the little prince naturally fell on the shoulders of Grand Tutor Han Mochu.

"Sit at the court and ask, and bow down to level the seal." With the back on his back, Xiao Yucheng's voice suddenly became smaller and smaller, and he stumbled on a sentence: "Ai Yu...Ai Yu..."

Gu Xiu sharply raised his head from the memorial, first glanced sideways at the man beside him, and saw that Han Mochu still half-closed his eyes, and hurriedly mouthed each word to the opposite Xiaotuanzi: "Ai, Yu, Li, First, Chen, Fu, Rong, Qiang"

"Ai...Yu...Li...Shou...uh..." Xiaotuanzi stretched his neck, trying to see Gu Xiu's mouth shape more clearly: "Chen...Chen..."

Gu Xiu was about to repeat it to Xiao Tuanzi, but Han Mochu's eyes had turned to him.

The moment Gu Xiu noticed this gaze, he quickly restrained his expression, and continued to review the memorial as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, you are cheating blatantly." Han Mochu propped his forehead and lightly tapped the table with his fingers.

"Why did I ever cheat? You ask Yu Cheng's book, don't disturb my administration." Gu Xiu lowered his head and looked at the memorabilia in his hand. It was reversed.

"Your Majesty, I have already made repeated orders. Regarding the teaching of your highness, either the minister alone has the final say, or the majesty alone has the final say." Han Mochu said while adjusting the memorial in Gu Xiu's hand: "In the future, the minister Your Majesty should not intervene when asking about homework."

"I just saw that Yucheng forgot something, so I just mentioned a word or two to him." Gu Xiu tilted his head, his eyes wandering, like a dead duck with a stiff mouth.

"Your Highness, tell me, how much can you recite from the Thousand-Character Essay just now?"

"Well... Cheng'er can't even recite the rest." Xiao Yucheng rubbed his little hands, and betrayed his father very honestly.

"Then, what did your Highness tell the minister before going to bed yesterday?" Han Mochu smiled and pulled out the mahogany ruler that was still handy after more than ten years of use from under the futon seat.

Xiao Yucheng lowered his head, with tears in his eyes, he walked up to Han Mochu obediently and stretched out his soft chubby hands: "Father Ya...hit...hit lightly."

There was a soft "pop", and Gu Xiu, who was reading the brochure, trembled at the same time.

Han Mochu hadn't used that ruler on him for several years.

I don't know if it was because I was too impressed with this ruler when I was young.

When Han Mochu taught Yucheng a lesson, his scalp still felt numb involuntarily.

Yu Cheng was too young, and Han Mochu's ruler was mainly based on deterrence.Although the voice was loud, it didn't put much effort at all.

After three slaps, Han Mochu put down the ruler, wrapped the soft little hand in his big hand and rubbed it slowly.The teardrops that had been in the eyes of Xiaotuanzi after all this rubbing finally rolled down, sobbing, they got into Han Mochu's arms and rubbed their heads.

"Okay, didn't I follow your Highness's instructions and beat him lightly?" Han Mochu held Xiaotuanzi in his arms firmly, and let him rub his tears and snot on his body.

"It hurts! That hurts too! It hurts even if you hit it lightly!" Xiao Yucheng raised his pink and jade-carved face, pouted and raised his little hand: "Yafu blows."

Han Mochu held his oily little hand, which was not even half swollen, and blew it twice, pretending to be heartbroken, and said, "Your Highness is in so much pain? Then next time, I can't do anything. If Your Highness can't recite homework in the future , just copy it twenty times.”

"Ah?" Xiaotuanzi froze for a moment, then sniffed extremely quickly, and hurried out of Han Mochu's arms: "Yafu! Cheng'er is not hurting anymore! It's not hurting at all, and now I'm going back to the palace to endorse." gone."

Copying homework twenty times?Who would do such a loss-making business?Xiaotuanzi fled from the Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Palace with his books between his hands.

After Xiao Yucheng escaped from Han Mochu's arms, he straightened his clothes that were crumpled by the little guy, and moved the futon under his seat two feet towards Gu Xiu's side.

Gu Xiu picked up the pen and tickled the memorial in his hand, with a look of chill on his face that was colder than in the harsh winter.It looks scary, but it is actually a paper tiger that can be broken with a poke.

Or just standing there, waiting for the paper tiger that Han Mochu reached out to poke.

"Your Majesty, why don't you talk?" Han Mochu propped his forehead with one hand, looking at Gu Xiu's cold face with a half-smile.

"Don't disturb me." Gu Xiu dropped three words coldly.

"I'm just disturbing you." Han Mochu unceremoniously pressed his hand on the memorial in front of Gu Xiu and raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, please punish me."

Gu Xiu's aura in front of Han Mochu usually won't last for half a moment before he will be defeated, so he had to put down the ink pen in his hand, form a ring with his hands, and circle Han Mochu's entire body in front of his chest: "Zi Ran is biased, and he has never rubbed with me in the past. Rub your palms."

"Your Majesty was a little wolf cub who refused to admit defeat at that time. His arm was sore from swinging, and His Majesty never bent his palms and frowned." Han Mochu raised his lips and smiled, "Otherwise, Your Majesty would also learn from Yucheng now. In the arms of the minister, rub your head, and cry again?"

"Han Ziran, do you think it's funny to tease me?!" Gu Xiu lowered his voice, grabbed Han Mochu's slender bamboo-like palms, and clasped his fingers tightly.

"It's interesting, and it's not so interesting." Han Mochu looked up, his straight nose just enough to rub against Gu Xiu's side face: "Recently, His Majesty seems to like to settle old disputes with his ministers. Could it be that the government is clear these days, and His Majesty is very leisurely?"

"Only when two people have been together for a long time can they settle their old scores." Gu Xiu straightened Han Mochu's body, and guarded the bright yellow scroll memorial in front of him together: "Since the 15th year of Yongxi until now, Zi Ran has kept I have been by my side for 13 years. In the past, you took me to study and practice martial arts in Guiyun Palace, but now Yucheng is so grown up."

"The past 13 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I really don't know it." Han Mochu casually tidied up the messy desk case that Gu Xiu had just dealt with the government affairs booth: "When we first met, His Majesty hated my minister very much. He either told me to get out, or was cold If you don't care about the minister, you will shake your fist at the minister at every turn."

"Isn't I still young at that time? Besides, Ziran didn't let me get a penny at that time. At that time, I just wanted to live, and Ziran made me survive." Gu Xiu said midnight When I dream back, I can occasionally dream of the early morning when Han Mochu clapped his hands and swore oath with him.

Advance and retreat together, never doubt.

For 13 years, they have always believed in these eight characters.

In the future, I will still believe in it as before.

"Speaking of which, over the past few years, in order to help His Majesty clear the border and set up government schools, Mr. Yi Yi has already spent more than half of the gold left to his ministers." Han Mochu turned in Gu Xiu's arms, and his clear eyes met Gu Xiu's calm Eyes: "There must be a way to fill the treasury."

"Teacher Han, when you were young, you only taught me how to lead troops to fight and govern the country, but you never taught me how to make money." Gu Xiu's eyes became darker, and the rolling eyes were quite similar to Xiao Yucheng who was only four years old. There are some similarities.

They are all innocent and pitiful.

"Alas..." Han Mochu smiled and sighed deeply: "I know that in the end, I have to let the minister figure out a way for himself. Your Majesty will only spend money and not earn money!"
