prosperous life

Dengzhou Duke Lu's Mansion

Light snow gradually turned into light rain, and it rained all night, especially in the second half of the night, when it turned into moderate rain, Rong Ningjin got up and looked at the rain that was still whirring, and felt that the temperature had dropped again Two degrees, proper freezing rain, this is it.

Zhou He was bored and came to play with Rong Ningjin. Yesterday Zhou Jing gave Zhou Frame and Zhou Wei the sword picked by Rong Ningrui, while Zhou He gave the pink palace sash of the jade pendant, and the one for Jin was a Only Liulibu Yao, Zhou Jing and his wife have some supplements and fabrics.

Everyone in the Zhou family was very satisfied with the things Zhou Jing sent.

Warriors love swords, Zhou Jia and Zhou Wei happily took Rong Ningrui to the martial arts hall to make a gesture.

The Jin family is the eldest granddaughter of Cheng Guogong, so the dowry is naturally very good, but she has been married to Dengzhou for two years. There is nothing to choose from in Dengzhou, but if she goes to Beijing, it will be out of fashion. I like the Bu Yao sent by Zhou Jing very much.

Needless to say Zhou Jing and his wife, both Zhou Jing and Zhao Che suffered hardships when they were young, and now they naturally need to take good care of themselves, Zhou Jing's gifts are just right.

The happiest thing is Zhou He. The palace sash is used for decoration and can also be used to press the corners of the skirt to make the walking posture more dignified and soft. Zhou He likes it very much, because there are still few people in Dengzhou who can have it, or her I've seen my sister-in-law Jin's use it, but it's not as good as the one my uncle gave me.

Zhou Hejiang was two months older than Rong Ningjin, and she was only 12 years old, how could Zhao Che give her any more expensive jewelry, and even if she did, it wouldn't look very fashionable.

When Zhou He came, Rong Ningjin directly pulled Rong Ningjin to read poems to her, because Zhou He's friends always liked some literary games, and Zhou He was a military general, so it would be no problem to memorize them. The meaning is also smooth, but she can't understand the artistic conception in the poem, and now Rong Ningjin can just help.

While explaining, Rong Ningjin murmured in her heart that she originally wanted Feng Xian to teach herself, but now she wants to teach others... Is this because she planned Feng Xian?

Looking at the sky outside and the rain that still hasn't stopped, Rong Ningjin is worried about the harvest in the farmland this year. I hope it's only around Dengzhou, and other places will be better if it's just a cold spring without freezing rain...

Looking at Zhou He who was still intoxicated reading poems, Rong Ningjin shouted silently: Watching the rain by the window also takes time for poetry!

Poetry, singing and dancing, these are not as important to the people as a little food, after all, poetry cannot be eaten.

The rain finally stopped on the tenth day, and even Zhou He felt that the atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion was a little tense.

Rong Ningjin walked out of the house and saw that the rainwater accumulated in the yard was almost covered with a thin layer of ice. It must be the same outside, especially in the fields. After all, the temperature will be higher in places with many people.

Zhou Jing sat in the living room meditating, Zhou Jing and Zhao Che didn't speak at the side, just now the people from Zhou's farm came to report that many crops had been frozen, and the harvest this year would definitely not be high.

Zhoujiazhuangzi must be like this, and the farmers around Dengzhou are like this, but I don’t know how it is in other places.

The governor of Dengzhou just came here, and told Zhou Jing that he needed to write an account of the cold spring and freezing rain to the sage. The stewards will study the countermeasures together.

Zhou Jing was also worried about Zhuangzi in his capital before. Rong Ningjin privately said that he had made arrangements before coming to Dengzhou. Zhou Jing felt a little happy and excited but worried about his youngest son. After all, the youngest son Rong Ningjin was too smart. It's not what Zhou Jing expected, he just wants his children to be happy and safe.

capital palace

Rong Anxian has been working very hard since his wife and son went to Dengzhou. Later, when he returned home, he met Master Rong Er who was waiting outside the gate.

Rong Anxian, of course, the second master Rong came to find Rong Ningjin.

After all, Master Rong Anxian is Rong Anxian's biological brother, but Rong Anxian hated the Yang family, so he gave Master Rong Er 100 taels, but Rong Anxian also said that this was the last time, after all, the money was earned by Zhou Jing Well, if Master Rong Er really treats him as his younger brother, he should know not to make trouble anymore but to go back to live a good life.

Rong Anxian didn't care whether Master Rong had listened or not, he directly applied for the staff dormitory with the Holy Master.

So a room in the apse of Tongzheng Hall was allocated to Rong Anxian.

Tongzheng Hall is the place where the ministers of the central government work. Originally, there were many rooms in the apse, which were prepared for ministers who worked overtime. Next to Tongzheng Hall is the Yizheng Hall, where the emperor used to work.

Originally, when Rong Anxian arrived at the Tongzheng Hall, some of his colleagues joked with him, saying that he didn't live in the Shangshu Mansion well, so he actually came to live in a small single room.

As a result, as soon as the cold spring came out, the memorials from all over the place seemed to have grown wings and flew to Beijing. Because of this year's farmland harvest, the Holy Majesty called all the ministers to hold meetings every day. Come up with a countermeasure.

Now that Rong Anxian is comfortable, the others can only make do with it, but as a minister, he can be allocated a separate lounge, the key point is why are you a minister of the Ministry of Rites?

As a result, before everyone could finish complaining, the Holy Majesty issued another order. No matter what department, all come to the meeting to strive for collective wisdom, and everyone can only remain silent...

Not only the officials of the previous dynasty, but also the Empress Dowager is very concerned about this matter. The Empress Dowager experienced the cold spring back then, and the common people did not know what happened. It was just that the weather suddenly turned cold, and the harvest in the fields was worse than in previous years. In those two years, the people suffered from hunger, and even the rich did not have enough food to survive.

The queen mother was still a child back then, but the impression was that the family had no food and could only eat one meal a day. After all, the Shen family was still a seventh-rank official at that time, otherwise, she would be like those roadside people who would be stronger than wild vegetables.

Later, what happened at that time was also told by the elders in the family, but just listening to it made the Queen Mother, who was still very young at the time, feel that she didn't want to experience it again.

In fact, no one knew exactly what was going on at the time. Many people knew that it was because of the cold weather, but they didn't think there was anything unusual about the warm weather before. Such things were rare in the first place, and people who saw the pattern were more Most people only feel it when the weather really turns cold.

Maybe a few people have some more advanced views, but under the influence of the mainstream audience, people still think that these are destiny.

Regardless of the current situation, officials inside and outside the capital have been studying and discussing, hoping to come up with feasible countermeasures under everyone's joint discussion as soon as possible, at least to keep some food.

It's not that the officials didn't try their best, but they didn't know much about farming. Later, Wang Wenshu, a member of the household department, said that he had already asked some experienced farmers to ask questions, and he also planned well with the officials of the imperial court. After that, although I have come up with some methods, I still don't know if it will work.

The emperor can still agree with this statement, but the approval belongs to the approval. The emperor is more concerned about the fact that the officials under him can't solve the urgent task. The emperor thought that he had raised a large group of capable people, but suddenly told him that was not the case, the emperor Naturally I feel uncomfortable.

Rong Anxian was a companion reading with the Holy One back then, but he knew his temper very well, and he saw what was in his heart, so he immediately mentioned something else. No matter what, he must first appease the people and let the people go as soon as possible. Rest assured, the imperial court cares about the common people.In addition, the government should organize people to announce the current countermeasures as soon as possible. After all, the people will know what to do next, and the people will have a bottom line. Try the method that was found before, and if it works, the government's agricultural officials will immediately announce it to the people. .

At the same time, Rong Anxian decided that Zhou Cheng had given him the methods before, and he should discuss it with the Holy One alone later.

After hearing Rong Anxian's words, the emperor felt that even if he wanted to beat these useless people, he had to do the business well first.Of course, later, the emperor still educated a large number of people, especially the officials of the Ministry of Households, in a large number of love, so that after Rong Anxian parachuted from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Households, he discovered that the senior officials of the Ministry of Households Two or three, and all the others became honorary members under the Emperor's care.

A group of officials have the heart to contribute to the country, but everyone is getting old, and sometimes their brains can't keep up, so let's all take care of our lives!
