[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

The emperor's fragility is only for a moment, and he will soon recover the decisiveness that a qualified emperor should have. Before the end of the first month of the 48th year, Kangxi couldn't bear to bring up the old things again, and asked all the ministers to unanimously recommend Yinhu as the crown prince, and he was responsible for Tong Guowei, Ma Qi and others who were the leaders.Kangxi rejected the beheading punishment imposed on Ma Qi by Prince Kang Chuntai and others, and instead handed him over to Yinhu for detention. The purpose was naturally to destroy Yinhu's faction from within and force Yinhu to weaken his own power with his own hands. Other people who supported Yinhu overtly and secretly warned blatantly that if they insist on going their own way, the today of Tong Guowei and others will be their tomorrow. If you want to taste the feeling of being detained or even beheaded by someone you support one day, you can go on boldly. .In front of the very popular Eighth Master, the door immediately became cold.

On the ninth day of March, all the preparations were finally laid, and Yinfeng was re-established as the prince logically, and the princess concubine was also granted the seal again.Later, in order to appease the previous dynasty and the princes, Kangxi began to confer titles on the princes. The third son Yinzhi was named Prince Heshuocheng, the fourth son Yinzhen was named Prince Heshuoyong, the fifth son Yinqi was named Prince Heshuoheng, and the seventh son Yinzhen was named Prince Heshuoheng. You was the king of Duoluochun, the nine sons Yinzhen were granted the title of Gushan beizi, the ten son Yinzhen was the king of Dunjun, the twelfth son Yinxu was the Gushan beizi, and the fourteenth Yinzhen was the Gushan beizi.Yinhu had already been reappointed as Baylor before, and Kangxi became suspicious again, so it seemed that Yinhu had forgotten about Yinhu this time.

Because Yinxiang was detained by the clan's mansion, the seal was not finalized this time, but at least he came out of beekeeping, so he didn't have to continue to suffer from detention.This time, Jiang Yingrong was there to protect him, and Yinxiang didn't suffer too much during his detention, at least he hasn't found any signs of leg disease yet.However, after Yinxiang came out, Jiang Yingrong still sent an imperial doctor to order him to take good care of Yinxiang to prevent problems before they happen. Lin Yu also quietly helped, and wrote more than a dozen medicinal recipes that are helpful for keeping out the cold. In the thirteenth Fujin, let her supervise Yinxiang to take it every day, and only hope that Yinxiang will not suffer from crane knee wind in the future.

After the crown prince was abolished and re-established, the situation of the previous dynasty has changed. The power of the elder brothers has gradually strengthened, while the crown prince has become weaker.The princes did not let go of their ambition to seek a reserve position just because the prince was restored. Once the prince was abolished, the princes were encouraged. If there is one thing, there will be two. If you can abolish once, you can abolish the second time. So they continued to form private parties and accumulate strength .Among them, the most active one is still Yinhu's faction, followed by Prince Cheng Yinzhi, and Yinzhen began to hide his strengths and bide his time in Prince Yong's mansion, preparing to be an idler who is sincere, filial to his elders and friendly to his brothers.

Yinzhen withdrew from the imperial court, and when he had a lot of free time, he always had to find something to do. Apart from raising his son, he began to study Buddhism and Taoism, and even tended to become more and more addicted.Over time, everyone including Kangxi was confused by Yinzhen's performance, thinking that Yinzhen was content with leisure and had no desire to compete.But Yinzhen is not completely idle, but only tight inside and loose outside. In private, he has close contact with Nian Gengyao, Long Kedo and others, and even in order to show his determination to be content with mediocrity and yearn for idle clouds and wild cranes, the idea of ​​farming began to sprout.As soon as this idea came out, it got Lin Yu's support.

Through the system, Lin Yu learned that the three high-yielding foods of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes had been introduced to China through various channels as early as the Ming Dynasty, but so far they have not been widely promoted and planted among the people.Perhaps because of the isolation and backwardness of ancient times, the flow of information was particularly slow. These three high-yielding crops only slowly spread out from the center of the place where they were introduced, and they were concentrated in the poorest families at the bottom. Those with a little wealth would rather plant conservatively. Hard food such as rice and wheat will not choose to plant this new variety imported from overseas, even though many people have seen these imported products with their own eyes. It seems that they do not pick the land and the weather, and the yield is quite high.

In fact, it can’t be blamed that the local people have treasures but don’t know how to use them. It has been passed down for 100 years and they are only planted on a small scale.Let’s not talk about the inconvenience of traveling in ancient times. Many people spend their whole lives on their own three-acre land. The farthest place may be the county market. Think about it if you want to spread these imported products. Neither is easy.In addition, Chinese people are relatively conservative in their bones, not to mention nine semi-literate ancients out of ten. Not everyone has the courage and courage to accept and try new things. Most of the people who are forced to do nothing have the attitude of giving it a try. It is basically difficult for such a person to give him the idea of ​​​​benefiting the public.

You said why the local officials didn't see the potential value and didn't know to report it early.In ancient times, one of the major ways to select officials was the imperial examination. How many of the scholars who came from the imperial examination really knew a little about farming? Even if they knew a little, they might not be sent to those places. I went to the fields to see the harvest of the people from time to time.In addition, the people in ancient times were naturally afraid of the official yamen, and basically would rather go around than meet it head-on, so don't expect the people who benefited and knew the output to rush to the yamen and say to the official: Hey, the grass-roots found a Planting high-yield crops that don't pick the ground or the sky is better than wheat and rice. Do you want to try it, the kind that can increase your political achievements!At most, it will spread the word among neighboring villages in private, and then radiate to the periphery. If you want to spread it through official channels, you can pull it down!

The asymmetry of news has prevented the incumbents from seeing the value of these high-yield crops and thus attracting attention.Although many low-level officials in many places discovered the value of crops and encouraged the people to plant more, and gradually spread to a wider range, and some people even played up the story layer by layer, most of them disappeared without a trace.Moreover, these three foreign things have not yet become hard currency that can be used as tax payment. The common people have to grow rice or wheat in order to pay taxes every year. What kind of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can only be used as extras to fill their stomachs. If you plant too much, you can hardly sell it. If you have extra land, it is better to grow some valuable food. If you are lucky, you can take it out for money if you can’t finish it.

All in all, due to various reasons, the current Qing Dynasty has not really started to pay attention to the high-yield crops that are well-known in later generations. Even though many people already know the existence of these three kinds of grains, they only know about them after all.So Lin Yu's idea is how to let the superiors see the true value of these three crops as soon as possible, and it is best to promote it from top to bottom one day. In today's feudal era when the emperor speaks loudly, he wants to promote a Things, what other method can be more effective than the previous imperial decree!

Fortunately, Lin Yuben likes to think about food, and also likes to read some miscellaneous notes. She found the relevant records of these three crops, which is considered a foreshadowing, and it does not seem abrupt.

"Do you want to grow these three things?" Yinzhen looked at Lin Yu's expectant eyes, and then looked at several books on the table that recorded these crops. Most of them were not detailed in a few sentences, but they did mention Higher yield words.Yinzhen probably has heard of one or two of them, but his impression seems to be a kind of food, similar to yam and taro. He never thought that it could be used as the main food, let alone what it looks like.

Lin Yu nodded: "I heard that these three things are not only easy to grow, but also taste good, but I have never seen them before. Don't you want to experience the joy of farming? I just want to join in the fun, so I beg you to send someone Go look for it, and if you can find seeds, get a piece of land to plant a little bit to try something new!" Lin Yu looked greedy, as if she was really just looking for novel food.

Yinzhen didn't think much about it, and responded happily: "It's not difficult, these three things seem to be produced in the southeast, I sent someone to ask, and brought some from the local area."

"Then thank you in advance, what you plan to plant, the concubine will compare with you to see who grows better!" Lin Yu challenged shamelessly, with a sly look on his face.

I thought it was just a whim, but I didn't expect Lin Yu to cultivate it himself. Yinzhen became interested, and responded cooperatively: "But there is a lottery?" Someone willing to accompany, even if it is fun, is more fun than being alone, isn't it!

"Of course, wait until the Lord finds the things before deciding on the lottery." Lin Yu, who felt that she had won the lottery, said that the lottery was nothing to worry about, she had to take this opportunity to think about what she wanted, and it was best to have a treasure that Yinzhen was reluctant to part with.

"A word is settled!"

With this small bet, Yinzhen paid two more attention to the matter of finding seeds. After it was passed down, those who wanted to curry favor were sent to the capital as soon as possible, and they all picked the best quality. I sent several big baskets.Although I don't know why the fourth prince wants these poor people to feed themselves on a whim, but it doesn't prevent them from taking this opportunity to build relationships with Prince Yong's mansion.There are also some officials who are politically sensitive and probably know the production volume consciously and vaguely guessed the intention of Yinzhen's move, so they attached a planting method with them. Maybe this thing will be of great use in the future, and they don't know the current Yongzheng The move by the prince to mobilize the crowd is just to coax the side Fujin in the mansion.

Anyway, it didn't take long for Lin Yu to receive the seeds. Seeing baskets of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, French fries, roasted sweet potatoes, hot and sour potato shreds, roasted potatoes, boiled corn, corn grits... Lin Yu's saliva has begun I couldn't help but flooded up, telling myself to hold back and not to show abnormalities.Then in the next few days, various ways of food appeared on Yinzhen's table, first the most basic steaming, then cooking, and then frying, there are always a variety of tricks.In addition to the bland taste of steaming at the beginning, the fried shredded potatoes, fried potato sticks and sweet potato sticks, especially the fried potato sticks wrapped in duck egg yolk, have a unique taste. Interesting, anyway, seeing Lin Yu excitedly busy, it would be good for him to follow suit and eat ready-made ones.

Of course, Lin Yu just made a pretentious research in advance to show how to eat, fully interpreting the attributes of a foodie, after all, only delicious food, and her positive performance later is not at all abrupt.In the end, I still thought that I had to leave enough seeds, so I barely restrained the urge to eat them all.At this time, Yinzhen still doesn't know what kind of surprises these three things will bring him after the first season. He doesn't know that he lost this bet at the beginning, but he lost willingly and convinced himself.
