Chronicle of Emperor Jing

When the emperor finally lay down with his arms around him contentedly, Wei Yan felt his scalp trembling.

The emperor probably also felt tired, holding him for a long time without speaking, just resting there to breathe.

"I'm not going to celebrate my birthday anymore." Wei Yan managed to catch his breath, put his chin on the emperor's shoulder, and muttered softly.

Whether it's his birthday or the emperor's birthday, he doesn't want to pass it.

The last time the emperor celebrated his birthday, he was asked to be the emperor's birthday gift, but this time he celebrated his birthday, the emperor was his birthday gift.This might sound different, but did it make a difference?

No matter who's birthday gift, the emperor would have to mess around on the couch until each other was exhausted before giving up.

There is really no way to pass such a birthday.

Hearing this, Jing Li laughed softly, but didn't say much.

He is in the prime of his life, so he shouldn't say that he is tired easily, but he is the master of the couch, if he wants to have fun, he has to spend more energy than Wei Yan.After all the tossing and tossing tonight, it would be a lie to say that I am not tired.

But what happens on the couch is the bliss of the world.Knowing that this is bone-destroying poisonous wine, he still can't help but drink too much. He is not alone in this world.

When he was young, he was full of vigor, greedy for pleasure, and he couldn't help it and didn't want to bear it with Wei Yan.

Now, when necessary, he has learned to restrain himself. Besides, he is not singing every night, but he is happy occasionally. He has indulged in this way for a while. In this matter, he is certainly comfortable, and Wei Yan is also very comfortable. , is it necessary to complain so much?

"The minister is telling the truth." Wei Yan heard the emperor's laughter, his face was a little hot, and he gritted his teeth to emphasize it.

Jing Li didn't speak, just continued to laugh.

Wei Yan felt a little guilty when the emperor laughed.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not allowed to make such nonsense in the future. Even if Your Majesty is in good health, you can't do such nonsense." Wei Yan suppressed the things that were wrong in his heart, and said seriously.

"Is Aiqing planning to cross the river and demolish the bridge?" Jing Li smiled sullenly for a long time before asking him.

It's not his fault that he made such a mess tonight. Wei Yan, who is used to spoiling the scenery, is planning to throw it away when he runs out?

Wei Yan was obviously very comfortable just now, but after the matter was over, he seriously blamed him for messing around.

"I didn't." Wei Yan naturally refused to admit the crime.

"You still said no, didn't you enjoy it just now? Huh, I worked so hard to serve you and make you comfortable, but in the end, you blamed me for messing around and wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, which really made me sad!" Jing Li said seriously to Wei Wei. Yan broke this truth.

"Even if it is... but... the minister is old and can't stand such a toss." For this kind of thing, comfort is naturally comfortable, but Wei Yan doesn't want to talk about it, the emperor is very unrestrained, in this matter He has a thick skin and often has to give him credit for himself. If he continues to encourage the emperor with words, the emperor will probably get worse.

He didn't believe that if he admitted it honestly, the emperor would stop talking nonsense.

Wei Yan thought about it with his toes, he yelled no, the emperor was in such a good mood, if he said yes, the emperor would only be more indulgent.

However, it's really not okay to go on like this.

"Where is it old? Let's see, is it here?" Jing Li immediately became dishonest when he heard what he said.

"Your Majesty..." Wei Yan had no choice but to stick to the emperor's rascal face, leaving no space between them, and finally stopped the emperor's hand from groping around.

"Okay, stop making trouble." After laughing for a while, Jing Li stretched out his hand and touched Wei Yan's head. After reaching Wei Yan's ear, he said softly, "Don't say you are not old, even if you are really old, I will not despise you! You are older than me, and I don't know."

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan looked at him, not knowing what to say.

When the emperor is messing around, when he is unreasonable, when he is clearly wrong but refuses to admit it, when he always wants to blame others, he is really a jerk, Wei Yan can't help but want to persuade He said a few words, but every time the emperor became tender, he couldn't resist.

"Huh?" Jing Li thought that Wei Yan had something to say, but later seeing that Wei Yan's eyes were full of softness as he watched him, and he stopped saying those unpleasant words, knowing that he was moved, he moved over with satisfaction Kiss him.

Wei Yan is an idiot, that is, he does not dislike Wei Yan for being so stupid, and is willing to treat him well. Wei Yan should be moved, and it is strange not to be moved.When he thought about it, he felt that he was very good.

His Majesty the Emperor, full of confidence, felt that everything was under control again.

As for the occasional feeling that he is in danger of capsizing, it must be his illusion. How could a smart person like him capsize when he gets along with a fool like Wei Yan?

Even if he takes ten thousand steps back, sometimes he is at a loss, moving back and forth, and when he has to, he is even willing to admit his mistakes and try to fool Wei Yan. It's not because he is afraid that Wei Yan will get angry and ignore him, but because he is tolerant and magnanimous. , was willing to give way to Wei Yan, and then found a way to calm things down.

Well, that must be the case.

No matter how big the gap between the facts and the emperor's conjectures was, anyway, that's what His Majesty felt, and whether it was in line with the facts was obviously a trivial matter.

If Wei Yan knew that the emperor thought so, he might be laughed at by the emperor's duplicity and insincere words.

But the emperor has such an awkward temperament, he often says one thing and does another. Wei Yan has been with him for these years, and he knows him well, so he naturally knows his temperament.

From time to time, Wei Yan would mutter a few words about the emperor. He didn't intend to be against the emperor, nor did he dislike the emperor.

Everything in this world has its own cause and effect.

Some things the emperor started, but the result may not be as he wished.Because other people also have their own positions and ideas, even if they are facing the emperor, when those people have no way out, they will not give in easily.

It's just for some insignificant things, there's no need to bother others, so as not to have any accidents.Of course, if it's a big deal, it doesn't matter.

When the emperor was only the emperor, he advised him on some things, but if the emperor didn't listen, he probably let it go.

To this day, for him, the emperor is not just the emperor, so he couldn't help persuading him several times.

He also knows that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change, but it is useless for him to persuade him once. If he persuades him a few more times, maybe the emperor will change.

The two had their own minds and different things in their minds, but their bodies seemed to have their own wills, and they were close together without any gap.

After rubbing his ears and temples together for a long while, Jing Li calmed down before calling someone to bring hot water in for washing.

Because it was getting late, and he had to get up early tomorrow, besides, he was really tired after so much fuss. After returning to the bed again, he didn't say much, put his arms around Wei Yan, and lay down to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the second day soon came.

On this day, the emperor had an early court, and he was about to get up before the fifth watch.

Now it is the end of spring and early summer, the dawn is very early, Wei Yan woke up very early, he was afraid that moving around would wake up the emperor, so he didn't move when he woke up, he just squinted his eyes and rested there.After all, the emperor was so nonsense last night, how could he not be tired, and it would be good to sleep a little longer at this time.

The emperor woke up on time, and Wei Yan followed him.

Jing Li was worried that Wei Yan would wake up too early and his body would not be able to bear it, so he said something to him, but seeing that he didn't listen, and seeing the person who was yelling last night that he couldn't do it, that he didn't want him anymore, he had enough sleep and was refreshed. It's not bad, knowing that Wei Yan's nonsense is probably just a lie to coax him to stop, so he let him go.

When Wei Yan was fully dressed, Jing Li took out Zhan Lu from the box on the desk, and tied it on Wei Yan's belt with his own hands.

"I'll use this sword from now on, don't touch other swords, otherwise... Humph..." Otherwise, Jing Li didn't go on, leaving only the word "humph" to let Wei Yan experience his feelings on his own The implication.

"I know it."

Because of this sword, Wei Yan was caught by the emperor last night and cleaned up. At this time, he must not dare to say anything that displeases the emperor, so he can only let the emperor go.

It can be seen that the two of them do not have a tacit understanding in everything, and sometimes they have a tacit understanding.

Wei Yan sent the emperor away, took the newly acquired sword, and started the morning lesson, getting familiar with its feel as soon as possible.Weapons are like lovers, the more familiar they are with each other's body, the easier it is to use them.

The days passed quickly while Wei Yan was getting acquainted with Zhanlu, when Wei Yan and the emperor were sometimes peaceful and beautiful, and sometimes you were making trouble with me and I was making trouble with you.

The two of them had a good time, and the others also had their own things to worry about.

After Xie Meng took charge of the Qingzhang Litian affairs, in order to repay Qi Yuanheng for contacting many scholars to help, he set aside a part of the money and food that he could use to help Qi Yuanheng with his share of agriculture and mulberry The idea, from the three villages at the beginning, was directly laid to the entire Kangping County.

When it comes to the autumn harvest, the farmland in Kangping County has more or less increased their income, with [-]% of the increase and about [-]% of the lack.

After the grain was harvested, Qi Yuanheng and others collected all the information and analyzed the reasons for the increase in income. They found that many households strictly followed their instructions to dig ditches, accumulate manure, irrigate, and drain water. Some people don’t understand it, or they don’t want to follow it if they understand it. They do it casually to fool them, so they don’t get much income.

In today's fields, the yield per mu is generally around two or three stones. Because the fields are good or bad, the grain yields also vary.

One stone is ten buckets, and about half to three buckets are collected per mu. Regardless of the mere buckets of grain, for farmers, in the season when everything is flourishing, one bucket of grain mixed with some wild vegetables is enough for an adult to eat for ten days .The more food is collected, the more people can be fed, and the more people, the tax of the treasury will increase accordingly.

After obtaining this evidence, Qi Yuanheng sent a proposal to the emperor, imploring the emperor to promote these measures that are beneficial to agriculture and mulberry to the whole world.

After a few days, Jingli received a letter from Qi Yuanheng.

Qi Yuanheng's measures are divided into four steps.

The first step is to tidy up the ditches in the field, which is the most laborious place.

Where to put the public ditches, how to irrigate each household's own fields, and how to drain them all need to be planned and designed by knowledgeable people.After the planning is completed, there is still a need for someone to supervise the work, and it is even more necessary for the farmers to contribute to the completion of these projects.

Fortunately, when the field was measured this time, the scholars who followed the Qingzhang team separately, after on-the-spot investigation, had already indicated where these ditches should be opened and how to irrigate and drain them in the fish scale book. Now we are waiting people to complete.

This is a labor-intensive and practical project for people's livelihood, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to complete, but if it is really completed, it will be a great thing that can benefit for decades.

The farmers benefited, and the court eventually benefited as well.

The second step is to teach farmers how to accumulate manure in various ways.

There are many kinds of fertilizers that farmers use to fertilize the fields. The reincarnation of people or livestock is the fertilizer that farmers often use.

The proverb, "Fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields", was born because of this phenomenon.In cities and towns, there are also people who specialize in collecting fertilizers and reselling them to farmers, which is quite a fortune.This line of business seems to be out of reach, but in fact, in many places, it is necessary to fight back and forth to win this business.

In addition to the reincarnation of human grains, some farmers will raise a pig at home, and fill some hay into the pig pen from time to time. When the pig is out of the slaughterhouse, this full pen will be good fertilizer.

Those who do not want to raise pigs can also raise other livestock.

If you have no money to raise livestock, let the children go to the road to pick them up when they have time. Whether it is cattle, horses, or donkeys, they can be used to fertilize the field. Collect more food.

Of course, digging the silt from the bottom of the river to fertilize the fields is also a feasible way.People are often organized to dig the silt in the river, which can not only keep the river channel smooth, prevent flooding in rainy seasons, but also add a lot of nutrients to the fields.

There are always many ways to accumulate fertilizer. Although Qi Yuanheng has collected some, there must be good methods that the folks have missed. He suggested that the emperor ask for more methods from all over the world, and then issue a book of persuasion to the farmers to clarify these methods of fertilizer accumulation. Tell the world, and let the government servants in the county go to the village to preach, and make sure that farmers all over the world know how to accumulate fertilizer according to local conditions.

The third step is to prepare the officials in charge of farming so that they can perform their duties and be loyal to the king.

Farmers may have been farming all their lives, but not everyone is proficient in farming.When to plant seeds, when to water, weeding and composting, there are many tricks in it.

If someone knows how to farm, his family's harvest will be good, and if someone can't, his family's harvest will be poor.

In order to encourage the teaching of farming and mulberry, since ancient times, the imperial court has set up officials who specialize in agricultural affairs to guide farmers in farming.In the central court there were senior officials such as Sijia or Sinonong, while in the countryside there were small officials such as Litian who were in charge of farming.

However, many years have passed, and in each dynasty, the institutions set up by the imperial court are different. In the Jing Dynasty, the Ministry of Households was in charge of farming, while the repair of water conservancy was assigned to the Ministry of Industry. Yuri is coming to take charge of farming.

With this setting, the number of officials has been streamlined, but the requirements for the county magistrate and Li Zheng have undoubtedly increased a lot.If these people don't understand farming, it is impossible to talk about persuading farmers.

At the beginning of Gaozu Dingding, Vientiane was renewed. Many officials started from the beginning and knew about farming. They would not make jokes about those who advised farmers not knowing farming. The officials of the household department, the county magistrate who knew nothing about farming and mulberry, and Li Zheng who didn't know anything about farming all appeared one by one.

Based on this, Qi Yuanheng suggested that for the officials in charge of farming, they must conduct farming-related assessments, so as not to miss the farming time.

The fourth step, on the day of the Shangsi Festival, Qi Yuanheng mentioned it in front of the emperor. In order to facilitate the farmers to irrigate the fields, he suggested that the court set up water trucks in various places to benefit the people all over the world.

All these piles are inseparable from manpower and material resources, especially the first and fourth steps, which are expected to cost a lot of money and food.

Qi Yuanheng's suggestion was definitely good. The emperor didn't understand it, but the emperor was preparing for the second southern expedition, and he still had a major issue to settle, so the money and food would never be enough to spend.

This event is his mausoleum.

The emperor ascended the throne when he was young, and he didn't build the mausoleum at the beginning. This year he is [-] years old, and the construction of the mausoleum can also be put on the agenda.

He is usually in good health, and he never thought that he would have a short life, so he didn't build the mausoleum early, but if he starts to build it from now on, if it takes ten or twenty years, he won't be in a hurry by then.

These two things that need to be done urgently are urgent matters. No matter how good Qi Yuanheng's advice is, thinking of the cost involved, Jing Li hesitated.

"Your Majesty, Nongsang is the foundation of the country. Brother Qi's suggestions are all good words for governing the country. Why do you hesitate?" Wei Yan looked at the emperor's face and suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, if it is because of money and food, Why don't you take the lead in donating some salary."

On the same day, An Lehou took the lead of "sincerely repenting" and handed over a large fine to the court, holding everyone else up in mid-air.Wei Yan felt that if he followed the example and brought a head of donating salary for this matter, even if the courtiers were unwilling to follow up, but as the emperor's loyal ministers, if they wanted face, they would have to follow up if they didn't follow up.

"No, you must not make up your own mind to mess around." Jing Li even had the opportunity to accuse Wei Yan of messing around, which is rare.

"Your Majesty, don't worry on behalf of me. I won't be unable to handle such a small matter. If An Lehou can help His Majesty in this way, so can I." Wei Yan knew what the emperor meant, and the emperor was afraid that he would offend other ministers by doing so.

However, for the sake of the emperor and the people of the world, he is not afraid of offending others.

"Anlehou is Anlehou, and you are you. Don't make trouble, I won't wrong you." Jing Li definitely couldn't agree with Wei Yan to do this.

An Lehou is a wealthy idler, and with his mother's backing, other people dare not do anything to him even if they complain about An Lehou.

Wei Yan is Wei Yan, he doesn't want Wei Yan to be wronged, let alone let Wei Yan stand in front of him when something happens, Wei Yan stays with him well, and goes through the long journey of life hand in hand with him. enough.

"I don't think there is any grievance. I am very happy to be able to help His Majesty."

Wei Yan thought that this was a real national event. Since the emperor felt that there were difficulties, he would not feel aggrieved at all if he sacrificed a little of his personal reputation or self-interest in order to achieve a great event.

"The courtiers all know that the court has never been in such a difficult time. If you do this, the courtiers will go in without knowing it. They will think that I ordered it. I am afraid they will think that I am stingy." Jing Li thought of a suitable solution in a blink of an eye. Reasons to dispel Wei Yan's thoughts.

In the case of An Lehou last time, the people who were brought in had made mistakes first, and they deserved to be roasted on the fire in the end.But this time the courtiers were not at fault, so it was not appropriate for Wei Yan to do so.

But Wei Yan's desire to help him is good, and Jing Li must not attack him.

Anyway, Wei Yan's purpose is to help him, if Wei Yan finds out that doing so will not only not help him, but will also bring him trouble, needless to say, Wei Yan will give up.All he had to do was point it out.

"It's my minister's poor thinking." After being reminded by the emperor, Wei Yan also realized this.

His reputation is not a pity, but because of him, it is his fault that the emperor's reputation has been burdened.

"You are right in saying that this is indeed the foundation of the country. In this case, let's put the other things aside and do our best to do this well." Jing Li thought carefully for a moment, and then put all the important things he thought were important. Back row.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

At the beginning of October in the first year of Hongqing, the emperor announced Qi Yuanheng's suggestion to the world, and then issued an imperial edict, ordering the household department to lead, and the industry department to cooperate, and Qi Yuanheng led the scholars to assist and jointly supervise the matter, and gave Qi Yuanheng The honor of writing directly to the emperor.

With the full support of the emperor, the people below naturally did not dare to falsely respond to the story, and many people around Qi Yuanheng had practical experience after training in Kangping County. It is quite a bit like the vigorous and resolute action that was set at the beginning of the world.

This incident is known as the "Nongsang New Deal" in history, because it happened at the same time as "Kangping Litian", and the participants were intertwined to a considerable extent. Both of them demonstrate the emperor's cultural achievements, and are often compared by later generations. .

Planning started in the spring of the first year of Hongqing, and it was officially unveiled at the end of the year. It was not until the beginning of the third year of Hongqing that these two major events that laid the foundation for a prosperous age were finally settled.

In the summer of the third year of Hongqing, someone finally mentioned the Second Southern Expedition in the court.

Needless to say, this minister must be the emperor's confidant, so he will be anxious about the emperor's urgency and say what the emperor wants to say.

Although the war in the south was caused by scabies, it has dragged on for more than ten years, and it has not been resolved, and it is not a big deal.

In addition, although the emperor spent a lot of money and food on farming and mulberry, last year was a bumper harvest year, and this year is another bumper harvest year, so the ministers objected, but they did not object to death.

Moreover, when the emperor raises troops, there must be countless rewards after the war, and there are also many supporters.

In the autumn of the third year of Hongqing, the emperor ordered all the soldiers and horses, and once again led the expedition in person, and started the second southern expedition. Wei Yan went with the emperor.

Because of Zhao Shi's meritorious service in guarding Xie Meng, he has been promoted several levels in just a few years.On the eve of the Southern Expedition, Wei Yan promoted him to be the deputy commander of the Guards Battalion, taking charge of all affairs of the Guards Battalion on his behalf, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city.
