Zhuo Qihua

The hunting process was perfect, and a shuttlecock kicking competition was added.On the way back, Emperor Yong'an said unwillingly: "Seven paintings, they just want to talk to you."

Zhuo Ji: "It's okay to have fun together once in a while. I don't want to draw big ones. It's very fast. However, in the future, Mata country can consider holding sports events such as football and basketball. To give the common people a channel for common entertainment, a certain This time can also alleviate domestic conflicts. Especially in places where there are many expropriated civilians, they work hard and eat averagely. If they encounter such a few harsh supervisors, accidents will definitely happen after a long time. Hold some competitions and let them There is a channel to vent, and it can also make money. If the development goes well, there can be another sports department in the future, and the door will be closed to prepare for sports events.”

Emperor Yong'an: "Listen to you. When the court has some more money, I will send someone else to do it."

Zhuo Ji: "Let King Xianyi do it. King Wu Shao entered the cabinet, and now he is doing things for Your Majesty in Guangnan. Even if King Xianyi doesn't mind now, he will feel disappointed after a long time. I think he kicked the shuttlecock Well, it’s also a talent.”

Emperor Yong'an nodded.

The princes are still young, and now is the time for employing people. King Wu Shao and King Xianyi have no ambitions, they are obedient, and they can use them smoothly without worry.However, given Emperor Yong'an's current control over the Mata country, no one dared to be disobedient.

It took another ten days to go back, and it took more than a month to go back and forth and hunt.The wind in Dongluo City became a little bit chillier, and another year was almost over.After Zhuo Ji returned to the palace, it took half a month to finish all the seven paintings to be painted.Emperor Yong'an endured his jealousy after seeing it, and Xuan Sui Guogong, Shi Yu, King Xianyi, Nanrong Shizhu and Sima from the Ministry of Rites went to Fengtian Hall.

As soon as Shi Yu entered the mansion, his daughter Shi Ketong ran over. When he saw that he was holding a tray in his hand, and the attendant behind him had another one, all covered in purple, Shi Ketong became excited: "Father! Give me a picture!"

Shi Yu tried hard to say with a straight face: "What is it called for you! This is a reward from the scorpion!"

"Ahhh!!! Dad, give it to me quickly!!"

Shi Yu's eardrums were about to burst.

Duke's Mansion, Lin Xieshan entered the study as soon as he came back.Putting down the tray, carefully lifted the purple forging on it, and the content of the painting on the tray was displayed in front of him at a glance.At that moment, something hit Lin Xieshan's eyes heavily and hit his heart directly.

On the drawing paper, is the back of a general.A fierce battle has just ended, and the surrounding battlefield has not been cleaned up.A general in armor holds Guan Dao in his right hand, and the helmet he just took off is clamped in his left arm. His body is stained with blood, the general's hair is messed up, and the blood on his hand is flowing down the Guan Dao. It is conceivable that the general's His face must be dripping with sweat at this moment.The general's war horse stood quietly beside the general, looking ahead together with the general.The general is just a back view, but from this back view, it can be seen how firm the general's gaze is looking ahead.

As a military commander, as a general, Lin Xieshan has always understood that his destiny is to be shrouded in horse leather.For generals, victory is their duty, and failure means ruin.For generals like the Lin family, failure means death.This painting, victory or defeat, is secondary.It is the duty of their generals to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Lin Xieshan sat down slowly, looked at the painting inch by inch, and carefully described the painting that he had drawn for him with his eyes.When His Majesty rewarded them with paintings, they covered them with purple forging.None of them knew what their own paintings were or what other people's paintings were.On the way, Lin Xieshan resisted not to open the Ziduan. He guessed all the way, but he didn't guess that it was him who drew the painting.Also because the painting is of him, it is only the back view, not the front view.But this is enough for Lin Xieshan, enough...

In Shi Yu's study, his eyes were red.In front of him, the purple forging on the tray was also lifted.In the painting, a man in casual clothes is walking in an alley.It was raining in the sky, and he was holding an ordinary black umbrella, and the wide umbrella covered his face.The alley is very ordinary, and there are quaint houses on the left and right sides of the alley, but behind the man, in the sky in the distance, it seems like a fairy palace descended into the world - towering buildings, a steam train faintly passing through the clouds, running on the road Shi Yu could tell at a glance that the building was made of concrete.And from the fairy palace, there was an inconspicuous light shrouded behind the man, as if the fairy palace was conjured by a man.

Even though the man's face was covered, Shi Yu could recognize that it was him.The clothes the man was wearing were what he wore when he followed His Majesty to the hunting grounds.During the autumn hunt, officials do not wear official uniforms.Aren't the carriages, concrete, and the steam train under study all related to the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry?And he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the dean of the Academy of Sciences!

Different from the excitement of Shi Yu and Lin Xieshan, King Xianyi was a little unhappy after returning to the palace.He is very happy to paint him, but why is he playing Cuju in the painting!Could it be that in Yu Zuo's heart, he is a prince who likes to eat, drink and have fun, but doesn't know how to improve?King Xianyi was depressed and wronged.But in the days to come, he didn't feel wronged anymore, and even secretly slapped himself in the heart, he is so stupid, why didn't he understand the good intentions of Chu Chu!

Nan Rong Shizhu was also excited.On the painting I gave him, it was him!He picks tomatoes in a glass greenhouse.There was another person squatting with him beside him, but he didn't show his face.But Nan Rong Shizhu could tell that it was Nan Rong Shili.But Nan Rong Shizhu decided not to tell his cousin. Obviously, if he told Nan Rong Shili, that guy would definitely come to grab the painting from him.Looking at the side face of herself in the painting, Nan Rong Shizhu liked it more and more. In Chu Chu's heart, she must be considered as a self-motivated person.As for himself dressed like a farmer in the painting, Nan Rong Shizhu didn't mind at all, he was like this most of the time on the farm.

The three daughters of No.1 in the team competition received the same painting, which is the scene of kicking shuttlecock on the day of their competition.Zhuo Ji didn't dare to paint a solo portrait of his daughter's house, nor did he dare to show his back.I simply drew a game that the three daughters participated in during the shuttlecock kicking competition that day. There were three groups of people and horses in it. The three girls were drawn more clearly, and the other two groups were blurred.But even though Zhuo Ji did this, Emperor Yong'an still didn't like it very much.But Zhuo Ji's words have already been spoken, and he can't force Zhuo Ji to work hard to repaint, so he still bestows it.

As soon as this painting was bestowed, countless people sent invitations to the few who got the painting in various names, wanting to bet on the painting at a close distance.The three girls simply like it, and they are even more proud.Except for their close friends and parents and relatives, no one will show them.And Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu, Xianyi Wang, and Nanrong Shizhu were so stingy that they only showed their wives and sons, and then they didn't know where they hid.

In private, someone wants to pay a high price to buy the paintings in the hands of the three girls, but it is just wishful thinking.By the way, whoever dares to sell an oil painting painted by himself will sell it!

At the end of the year, all departments are busy.Chen Changgeng, who was sent to Hanjiang Mansion, rushed back to the capital with all his might.The rice planted in the newly reclaimed black soil of Hanjiang Mansion has indeed reached an yield of 6 shi per mu.Although it is an average value, the lowest is more than 5 shi, and the highest is nearly 7 shi. Pan Pozhi did not hide the report.

As soon as Chen Changgeng's words came out, the whole court was noisy again.The yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes is so high that they are terrified, but they are big guys after all, and the smallest potatoes are the size of eggs, so their weight is there.But paddy!White rice!6 stones per mu!If the shells are removed, there will be a lot of them!When Chen Changgeng came back this time, he also brought back more than a dozen carts of husked rice, all of which were sent to the palace by the Hanjiang Mansion for His Majesty and all of you to taste.These dozens of carts of rice come from different regions. Pan Yuzhi said directly in the memorial, please taste it with your majesty, where is the rice you like the most, and the rice there will be used as tribute rice only for the palace to taste in the future—— Especially His Majesty and (by the way) 忍俍.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes have been planted, and the harvest is gratifying.The black soil in the Northeast can grow so much rice.If the harvest of rice is so amazing, the harvest of other crops will not be worse.How much food can be harvested from the large black land in Northeast China?Once potatoes and sweet potatoes are promoted, how much can be harvested?

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were excited, and Emperor Yong'an was extremely excited.The country's food is not worrying, and the foundation of the country is stable!But soon, many officials thought that food would not be a problem, so wouldn't land prices have to drop?But no one dared to stand up at this juncture to oppose the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the cultivation of grain in Hanjiang Prefecture.

Soon, people began to sell land around the capital, because the imperial court had officially issued an order to promote the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes throughout the country.Nam Rong Shizhu and Nam Rong Shili are in charge of this matter.It is hoped that the agricultural experts of the farm will be sent to areas of the country that are not suitable for growing food to guide the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes.The price of land is falling, and Emperor Yong'an sent Zhang Xian to secretly buy the land.Emperor Yong'an has no shortage of money now. As the largest landlord in this country, he naturally wants to take this opportunity to take more land in his hands.

Land prices have fallen, and many farmers who rely on renting and farming land for a living have lost their way of life.Immediately afterwards, the cabinet issued the emperor's order.Concrete roads were built in and around the capital, and agricultural workers were recruited.The Ministry of Finance also issued a notice to recruit [-] miners.The Ministry of War is preparing to expand the army, and the first batch is expected to expand by [-] soldiers.The Ministry of Industry recruited [-] farmers to build canals and [-] farmers to build dams.And glass factories, cement factories, newly opened kiln factories... many departments directly under the imperial court have to recruit agricultural workers.Those farmers who have no land to rent will soon have another way to make a living.And those big landlords who wanted to use this to force the court to change its policy not only had no one to rent and plant their land, but they had no choice but to continue selling their land because no one was going to plant it.Many officials of the imperial court participated in the shares. Although the price of land in the family fell, their own income did not decrease, but increased. Therefore, they did not strongly oppose the imperial court's land policy and the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes.And they also know that if they stop His Majesty, not only will they not gain anything, but they will also cut off their own financial resources. Now I don't know how many people are staring at the Maritime Department and the long-distance ships that the Maritime Department has sent out.The Maritime Division is not listed yet.

Emperor Yong'an sent a group of officials to take over Nanyue. It turned out that all those in power in Nanyue were vassals. Nanyue should be completely controlled by the Mata State, instead of being controlled by their own leaders as before and eventually separated from the Mata State. ruled and proclaimed himself king.Qin Su temporarily stayed in Nanyue to stabilize the situation.Pan Beigu, Qin Zhongyi and Wu Shaowang returned to Beijing first.

The territory of Mata country has expanded again in just three years, and the domestic economy and people's livelihood have not been damaged by the war, but instead are thriving.In the court, because of Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu, Nian Qing and others' support for the emperor, and because they knew some inside information, they were more determined to follow the emperor, so the court was also thriving.One can imagine how good Emperor Yong'an was in a mood.

Amidst the vigor and vitality of this school, Hubu Shangshu's Nianqing was a little preoccupied in Lanyuan Pavilion.Seeing him coming in and out more than ten times, Shao Pingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Sinong, you've been restless this morning, but what's going on at home?"

Nian Qing looked at Shao Pingqiu who came out of the cubicle, walked to the chair and sat down in annoyance, Shao Pingqiu sat down beside him, and asked, "What's bothering Da Sinong?"

Hai Shizhang also came out when he heard the commotion outside.There are only three of them in the cabinet today.

Nian Qing asked the idlers in the house to wait out, and sighed heavily: "It's been a three-year period since His Majesty's last draft."

As soon as he said this, Shao Pingqiu froze for a moment, and then fell silent.Hai Shizhang, who had just walked out, subconsciously covered his forehead, turned around and walked to the cubicle, and Nian Qing called him behind him: "Mr. Ge! Come and give me some advice!"

Hai Shizhang shook his head, and there seemed to be a wolf chasing after him: "The old man is getting old and can't stand the trouble!"

Then ruthlessly entered the house and closed the door.

Nian Qing put down Erkang's hand and looked at Shao Pingqiu.Shao Pingqiu: "Is Da Sinong ready to perform?"

Nian Qing didn't answer directly, but said embarrassingly: "The draft every three years is the responsibility of the household department. As the secretary of the household department, the responsibility lies. Your majesty has never made a clear order, so you must remind me a little bit." .”

Shao Pingqiu said cryptically: "This... if a newcomer enters the palace, I'm afraid it will disturb the purity of the family..." No need to explain which family.None of them knew how much the Holy Majesty hated someone from disturbing his purity.Moreover, Duke Guo and King Wu Shao must not want to see newcomers enter the palace.Especially Shi Yu, who is a loyal loyalist, Shao Pingqiu can imagine that once the Ministry of Finance proposes a draft, Shi Yu would dare to confront Nian Qing on the spot.But Shao Pingqiu didn't say these words, because he knew that Nian Shangshu definitely understood this point.

Nian Qing: "Naturally, I am also afraid that if a newcomer enters the palace, it will disturb the purity of my family, but... the duty lies, the duty lies..."

Shao Pingqiu: "Since it is the responsibility, Da Sinong will report to His Majesty truthfully, and His Majesty will make a decision. Why is it so embarrassing?"

Nian Qing rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said bluntly: "I'm afraid of being beaten (group beating)!"

Shao Pingqiu: "..."

Nian Qing didn't say that he was afraid of being beaten by someone, so he sighed.Shao Pingqiu thought about it, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you let King Qin ask about this matter?"

Nian Qing looked back at him: "King Qin?"

Shao Pingqiu: "The King of Qin often goes to Fengtian Palace. When the King of Qin is chatting with His Majesty, let the King of Qin ask him a casual question."

Nian Qing's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Shao Pingqiu's arm: "Bai Cai, you have to help me!"
