Qing Jialu

Shen Jia was slipped around the field by the emperor, and followed Jin Yiwei to the roadside stall on horseback.The emperor didn't care about the shabby street stalls, he sat on a small bench, and Jin Yiwei sat on both sides of the emperor.

Seeing that Shen Jia was still standing aside in a daze, the emperor teased and said, "Why, do you still want me to invite you?"

"No, no need." Seeing that there was only one vacant seat left at the small square table, Shen Jia had no choice but to sit down opposite the emperor's piercing eyes.

"Master Jun, what do you want?" The shop owner saw Jin Yiwei's attire, so he nodded and bowed, for fear of offending these uncles.

"A bowl of noodles." The emperor looked at Shen Jia, "Changqing, what do you want?"

Shen Jia was a little restrained, and said to the boss: "Same."

The four bowls of noodles were served quickly, and the two Jin Yiwei didn't say a word. After testing the poison for the emperor, they lowered their heads and ate their own noodles, chewed them, and finished them in a few bites.And the emperor also ate very quickly, with a few chopsticks down half the bowl of noodles was gone.

Sure enough, at the end, the other three put down their bowls and chopsticks, and only Shen Jia was still buried in eating noodles.Sensing the three vaguely visible gazes above her head, Shen Jia once again felt that she was being despised.

It doesn't seem very good to let the emperor wait for him; if you don't eat it, it's a waste of food.So Shen Jia is neither eating nor not eating now, so embarrassed that she doesn't know what to do.

"Changqing, don't worry." The emperor saw Shen Jia's embarrassment, so he went to the store to ask for a bowl of noodle soup and drank it slowly, as if he was accompanying him, and Shen Jia didn't feel so embarrassed for a while.

While eating noodles, Shen Jia thought, I heard that His Majesty entered the military camp at the age of 16 and grew up in the army.No wonder he eats so fast, which is a bit like a warrior.Shen Jia remembered that the emperor usually wore Taoist robes in the palace, as if he was about to become a monk, but when he left the palace today, he saw another side of His Majesty.

I don't know how many sides of this His Majesty have not been revealed, Shen Jia is really more and more curious about him.

The two Jinyi guards also ordered a bowl of noodle soup, and after finishing drinking, they dutifully went out to stand guard.The emperor saw that Shen Jia finished eating the noodles, but he didn't get up, instead he looked at the field leisurely, "Changqing, what did you see in the field today?"

"I saw a lot of farmland wasted." Shen Jia said honestly.

In general wartime, the fields are mostly deserted.But there is no war now, but the fields here are still unpopulated.

The emperor beckoned to the shopkeeper and pointed to the field, "Whose field is this, why is it deserted?"

"Originally they belonged to farmers, but now they are taken over by some prince or lord." The shopkeeper shook his head, "Those noble people know how to farm land, and they can't hire people, so they are left unused."

"Where did the farmer go?" Shen Jia asked.

"Farmers, they would rather be in business than farming. [-]% of the grain grown each year will be handed over to the employer, and the rest will be kept as seeds, which is not enough for the whole family."

Shen Jia frowned slightly, he looked at the emperor who was sitting opposite, but he didn't see his Long Yan furious, as if he knew about this situation long ago.

The emperor took out a tael of silver and asked the shopkeeper, "How much?"

"Eight words."

"Brother Weiming, I'll come." Shen Jia immediately took out eight coins.

The shopkeeper looked at the whole silver and small change, and said to the emperor, "I can't find this in a small shop."

The emperor smiled, put away the silver and left without forcing it.Shen Jia paid the money to the shopkeeper and hurriedly chased him out.

"Changqing is an honest man." The emperor said to him while riding on the horse.

On the contrary, Shen Jia's face turned reddish. Today, for some reason, she was humiliated several times.In front of His Majesty, I was like a child in front of their parents. I made frequent mistakes, but was tolerated by His Majesty.As a subject, he has always let His Majesty accommodate him.

No, His Majesty's riding speed is slower than when he came.

Holding the rein in his hand, the emperor walked slowly, looked at the field scenery, and said to Shen Jia: "Have you thought about the previous question?"

previous question?Shen Jia remembered, His Majesty asked about Liang's troubles.Shen Jia didn't have any ideas just now, but after being led by His Majesty to see the deserted fertile land, she has already made up her mind at this moment.

"On the land." Shen Jia replied.

Sure enough, the emperor nodded, very satisfied with Shen Jia's answer.He said: "Changqing, I know that it is quite difficult for you to be in the household department. The household department has been monolithic since the Yongwen Dynasty, and even Cheng Ge couldn't get in. Changqing, I hope you can This tough bone, chew it off."

Only then did Shen Jia understand the deep meaning of the emperor, His Majesty wanted to mobilize the household department, and even land reform.The land and taxation are just under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Perhaps not only the Ministry of Households, but also the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War, all of these must be rectified.The capital, the northern and southern Zhili, and the Thirteenth Division, all these places also need to be reformed.

Shen Jia looked at His Majesty's tall and straight back, and thought this is really a tough nut to crack.He seemed to know why His Majesty chose these local officials to enter the capital, and why he was placed in the seemingly inconspicuous Six Divisions that actually held real power.What His Majesty wants to do is far more difficult than he imagined.

When the emperor returned to the palace, Chen Jinzhong had already prepared footwashing water for His Majesty to soak his feet to relieve fatigue.

"Your Majesty is tired." Eunuch Chen asked while pinching His Majesty's feet.

The emperor closed his eyes and lay on the recliner with his feet soaked. "Fortunately, I have been riding the horse, and then I walked in the field."

"The dirt road is difficult, why did your Majesty go to the fields?" Chen Jinzhong worried, "The doctor said, don't stand for a long time, don't walk quickly."

"You can't stand for a long time, you can't walk fast, it's not that you can't walk." The emperor laughed angrily, "You guys, don't look like you are facing a big enemy. After so many years of conditioning, I don't think there is any problem."

Eunuch Chen looked at his master hesitating to speak, His Majesty has become more and more taboo about illnesses and avoids medical treatment. Since entering the palace, he is unwilling to even see the imperial physician.
