After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Dai Zi sent away the eunuch who delivered the decree, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.He always thought that the prince had a very close friendship with him, so he let go of the difference between the monarch and his ministers, so he kept the prince from the emperor for the past few years.

He has always been the first to pass on the blueprints of the new artillery, and the two of them, the monarch and his ministers, should be considered close friends no matter what.

Why is the prince now specially sending a message to make fun of him.Should?Where should it be?Dai Zi was at a loss.Although it is a bit of a fall from making artillery to plow carts, His Royal Highness is not so gloating, is he?

He didn't know the reason for being in it, but the people below knew the real reason very well.

His deputy was the first to tease: "It's too late for you to be wronged now. At that time, my subordinate advised you not to touch that thing without the permission of His Royal Highness, but you didn't listen." He never forgot that no matter what he did at the time, Advice, when adults insist on installing that part.

Dai Zi frowned and recalled for a while, still in disbelief, "You mean the prince is angry at me for dismantling the things he sent without authorization, so he punished me with the emperor's decree?" So this time the emperor ordered them to make farm tools, could it be Is it the prince's trick?

Will the emperor let the prince play tricks on courtiers like this?

He thought about how many times he sat and talked with Yinfeng, and felt that His Royal Highness should not be so tolerant, so he shook his head and said solemnly, "The emperor ordered the oral order to be passed on. The people of the world are of one heart and one mind. Don't make false comments on Your Highness."

Seeing that his lord is still not enlightened by now, the deputy can only look helpless, "How about you, you are really sold and can help count the money." After all, he didn't care how his lord reacted, after getting up He said to himself: "I'd better inform the craftsmen to start work quickly, otherwise the emperor will blame us, and we will not be able to bear the blame."

Dai Zi didn't pay any attention to how the deputy teased them, only thinking about why the emperor ordered them to make farm tools.

It is true that he is obsessed with doing things, but he is not completely unaware of the troubles caused by the people in Hubei.Who came up with the idea to appease the people this time can only be imagined by the method of screening.

Based on the habit of the important officials in the court, the people who did not advise the emperor to deal with the troubles directly were considered to be for the well-being of the people.Such a strategy of raising it high and putting it down gently will not be proposed by anyone other than the prince.

Dai Zi couldn't help but feel emotional, maybe the law is too strict, but with a crown prince who is so dedicated to the people, and an emperor who loves the people like a son, it won't be long before the common people will no longer be implicated for their innocence something.

Not long after he finished feeling, he turned his mind back to the will.Now other thoughts can be put aside for now, how to complete the things ordered by the emperor to perfection is what he should think of most at the moment.

The imperial court has been using salt and iron for a long time, and it has never bothered to use the best iron to make farm tools.

If it weren't for the blast furnace in Jingshan, and the temperature control equipment sent by His Royal Highness, I am afraid that with the previous iron smelting output, the emperor would rather be exempt from land tax than agree to supplement farm tools.

Dai Zixi recalled the wooden farm tools he had seen before. The wooden handles should be damp, and the plowshares for reclamation were not sharp, which was labor-intensive.The emperor told them to work hard, didn't he just want to make a batch of time-saving and labor-saving good things to compensate the people?

Taking into account the strength of ordinary people, this farm tool must be both compact and light, and the weight of each piece must be just right without consuming much effort, and it must also be able to easily reclaim the accumulated soil when plowing the field. of.

Dai Zi has always been a person who focuses on doing things. No matter what he does, he is used to making sufficient preparations before doing it.So after the deputy notified everyone to change the direction of their efforts, he still called everyone together and first emphasized the key points of making farm tools.

When the craftsmen first heard the news, they were even more regretful than Dai Zi.After all, in the past two years, everyone has worked together to figure out and make various firearms, and adjust various details one by one.Don't say anything else, everyone is on the short-handled firecracker

His feelings are no less than that of Mr. Dai.This sudden notice refused to let me do it, I was really reluctant.

Dai Zi saw that the craftsmen were all showing reluctance, and his mood of wanting to work hard suddenly dropped a little.Who could be more reluctant to give up the firecracker than he, the person in charge?

Seeing this, the deputy was amused, and stood up to persuade: "Your Excellency and everyone, there is no need to do this. The emperor just told us to make farm tools first, and he didn't say that we can't make firecrackers in the future. After finishing these farm tools, the emperor and His Royal Highness are not happy." , and sent new blueprints?"

After the deputy finished speaking, the craftsmen who were still immersed in reluctance were all dumbfounded.Yes, what are we all sad about?After completing the current errands, I will soon be able to continue working as a firecracker.

The big guys quickly regained their morale, and you expressed your views on how to reform the plow truck and coupler truck on the basis of the original one.

When Kangxi ordered Dai Zi to make farm tools, he naturally did not forget to ask someone to inform the fourth elder brother to announce the results of the handling of the Shi Nan emergency to the people. In addition to verbal communication, he also ordered the governor of Hubei to send someone Written on notices and copied in newspapers known to all readers.

A good policy of the imperial court is to let the world know about it in time.

The fourth elder brother was not surprised by this result at all. He had also seen times when the second elder brother of his family's prince wanted to do something but couldn't do it.After once again feeling deeply about the ability of the second brother in his heart, Yinzhen tried his best to order people to keep a close eye on the movements of the governor of Hubei, so as to prevent him from acting in accordance with his Khan Ama's orders.

Naturally, the governor of Hubei did not dare to delay. After receiving the decree, he quickly ordered people to write an official document, exaggerating Kangxi's decree, and ordered people to read it aloud every day in the lively market, so as to show that he was doing things wholeheartedly. Attitude.

In addition to verbal praise, he did not forget the role of newspapers.I personally wrote an article to praise Kangxi's devotion to the people of the world.

The children in Hubei also read the official documents in the newspaper repeatedly.According to their long-term experience of reading newspapers, anything written on it may appear in the examination papers of the imperial examination in the future.

Because of the wide spread, the rioting people soon learned that the emperor ordered the government to return the land to them as they were, and promised to reward them with farm tools as long as they paid the land tax as usual.

Those who took the lead in making trouble have already been detained, and those who followed up with the disturbance were not punished except for verbal warnings.So they naturally thought that the government would not dare to easily offend the "vicious" villagers like them.

These people were very reluctant at first to pay taxes in exchange for farm tools.After all, although they can't calculate any fine-grained accounts, they all understand which one is the big one, gold and silver.It's hard to calculate how much a meal costs, but they know exactly how much the court wants to take out of their pockets every year.

Who in the world doesn't know that taxes are the big ones.farm tools?That's worth a few coppers.And it's not released now, and it will take a month to get it.

Although it is not the season for farming, and even if they want to plow the fields, they have to wait until after the beginning of spring, but the imperial court's statement is an obvious and delayed order of kindness, and it does not solve their fundamental needs at all.

So when they first heard the news, there were still many villagers who planned to be tough to the end, uniting with those villagers who were still not angry at the government's forced land expropriation to make trouble again.

But before they left the village, they were stopped by the village official Li Zheng.

Li, who was over seventy years old, was staring at a group of tall and thick men, and after a few glances, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.Li Zheng saw that everyone knew how to be ashamed, so he persuaded earnestly: "Since the imperial court is willing to be lenient, and don't care about the matter of you blocking the gate of the yamen last time, you should forget about it. Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. If you continue to entangle, the patience of the official will be exhausted, but watch your heads."

The person who takes the lead is the best man in the farm in the village. Besides his own parents, Li Zheng is the one who admires him the most.He thought about Lizheng's words for a while, and quickly calmed down.

The land is important, the money is important, and it is no longer as important as your own life.After thinking through this point, he could only bow his head and say in admiration: "What Lizheng said is that we don't want to make trouble anymore."

He didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and the other guys couldn't get more stubborn.Everyone said in a muffled voice: "I listen to you, let's not go."

Not only did they not make trouble, but in order to prevent themselves from being settled by Qiuhou, this group of people also learned the allusion of "pleading guilty to a thorn", picked a time, and went to the gate of the government office to plead guilty.

The movement of pleading guilty was no less than when the trouble was at that time, and the government officials were so frightened that they started making trouble again.

However, after some explanations from the villagers, knowing that they had misunderstood, the government official personally helped the leader up, and persuaded him with good words: "Rest assured, neighbors, as long as you abide by the law and pay the land tax, the imperial court will not treat you badly." !"

The strong man in the lead listened, although he had a smile on his face, he couldn't stop sighing in his heart.The official also said that if you treat them badly, you will not treat them badly. They have always been raised by them to be officials. How can an official compensate them sincerely.

But he didn't know that the batch of agricultural tools carefully crafted by Dai Zi and a group of craftsmen was indeed very important to them.

life played an unexpected compensatory role.

But that's all for later.

When the villagers apologized, the fourth elder brother had already set off to rush back to Beijing.As the year approached, his errands were done.There is no precedent for the princes to celebrate the New Year outside, so he has to hurry back to Beijing to prepare for the New Year gift to Khan Ama.

The winter of the 27th year of Kangxi passed quickly amidst the abnormal enthusiasm of Jingshan craftsmen.

During this year's New Year's banquet, Yinreng was given a lot of alcohol by his brothers.In the name of thanking the elder brother and asking for knowledge, everyone complained of grievances, and revenge for those who had vengeance.

Those who have been wronged include but are not limited to the eldest brother and the third elder brother. When they think that they have not received orders from Khan Ama several times this year, and they have asked the fourth elder brother to grab the credit for the previous Ming, they feel that they should drink well with the prince. a few cups.

Those who have enmity include but not only the five, six, seven or eight elder brothers.The reason is that after resuming the English class, they always feel that their academic performance is much worse than other brothers.It's the master's fault that the apprentices are not good, and they can't learn well, isn't it the problem of the prince, the master?

Yinreng couldn't bear the unusual enthusiasm of his brothers, and was carried back to Yuqing Palace drunkenly before the banquet was finished.

Before falling asleep, he was still thinking, why does he get drunk every year?Can you change someone next year?
