Chapter 325.
Hu Guang shook his head and said, “Is this called boldness? The old man just feels …… that this is always wrong.”
Yang Rong put aside the zhangpu in his hand and looked at Hu Guang with a smile, “What is wrong with it?”
Hu Guang thought seriously, but said, “I can’t say.”
“You can not say it, because you yourself are not justified.” Yang Rong said, “We usually say …… for the life of the people, this word …… heard all the cocoon, but the people who say these words with great righteousness, most of them are generous at the expense of others to say these words. Take the court’s grain to relief others when, can be righteous to say this. But where does the grain of the court come from? Doesn’t it still come from the people’s fat and wealth? But the people who are not paying the grain, they also open their mouths is benevolence and righteousness, is moral. How many of them are better than these people when it comes to reasoning?”
“But ah …… once they teach their hands to take out money and food for the life of the people, you see how they will be? I am afraid that one of them will gnash their teeth, scolding and the people to fight for profit. Visible …… will say big words, can reason people, more can say deafening words of warning people, they say words the more reasonable, the more the crown, the more should be careful.”
After a pause, he then said, “This Zhang Anshi …… only did a very unusual thing. He will copy the stolen fields, distributed to the people, these fields, are also registered, the future to the court to increase taxes, the court got the tax, the people got the fields, all the benefits and no harm. Where is it wrong? Hey …… Hu Gong ah, is not Jian Gong’s lesson, not enough? Expecting some people to be kind and to set up a life for the world is not going to end well. The people are taxed and plowed in the cold and the heat to make a living. Giving them land to feed themselves and the court is the only way to be benevolent. So, don’t always talk about what’s proper or not, those grand theories, I’m tired of hearing them, I only look at the results.”
Hu Guang face red, but could not help but say, “But now many people are making a lot of noise, you are not aware of ……”
Yang Rong said, “Historically, if you want to be an officer, there must be someone to make a scene. I have never heard of anything being done without people gnashing their teeth. You only see people jumping, but see those who got the land, joyful people? You don’t look at those who are overjoyed, but your eyes only fall on those who hate and gnash their teeth. Hu Gong, don’t forget, we are not learning Zheng, learning Zheng only care about the readers. You and I are the Wen Yuan Pavilion university professors! Wen Yuan Pavilion university scholar, to do, is to assist his majesty to govern the world, control is millions of people.”
Said this, Yang Rong sighed, then added: “I know that you empathize with them, because you have been in the bookish family since childhood. You see them naturally affectionate, after all,…… in your eyes, they are civilized and polite, they one reads the book and knows what to do, you are naturally affectionate with them. But …… the situation of Ningguo House, you also see with your own eyes. They see you kindly, courteous, polite, salute as a ritual, each is a gentleman style, but have you ever thought about, they are on their own tenants is what look like? They see the ordinary people, and what is the appearance?”
“The reason why Hu Gong received their generous treatment is only because you are well born, have a good father, and have a good ancestor. There are some things …… to figure out and think through, you can t always stand in your own position to see.”
Hu Guang also sighed and said, “But which of the world’s ministers is not a member of the gentry’s family? I am worried that something is going to go wrong.”
Yang Rong appeared to be calm, and smiled slightly, ”This is a matter of the skill of the Duke of Wei. What I am concerned about is also the same. When Wang Anshi changed the law, why a muddle, is not because …… there are people everywhere to oppose, there are people everywhere to be positive and difficult to move forward? Will the State Duke of Wei be able to succeed or not, depending on his own skills. He can do it, is a great merit. But he can not do it, can only say …… this is the fate of the world, the world should be so, hey ……”
Yang Rong sighed and continued: ”But we can’t taunt and mock him just because he couldn’t do it. Even if the matter fails, even if the chickens fly, but this move, is also beneficial to the country and the people. In addition, he only in the peace house, the knife is not on other people’s necks, if things can not be done, at least the world is not chaotic. So you and I should wait and see.”
Hu Guang, however, still worriedly said, “But what if the hundred officials oppose it? We, Wen Yuan Pavilion, also support it?”
“Do not have to support, but also must not oppose with a clear conscience.” Yang Rong said, “must know whether he can make it or not, but I still need to observe one or two more, this is after all a groundbreaking thing. Zhang Anshi is a prefect, so he can rush forward, he is still young, make a mess, there is always his majesty to take care of him. But you and I are different, you and I want to rule the world, ruling a big country is like cooking a small fish, before the success or failure of the matter is not known, do not rush to observe and oppose ……”
Speaking here, Yang Rong pondered for a moment before adding, “After the summer, I intend …… to go to the six counties to walk around and look around. At that time …… see what name to use.”
Hu Guang shook his head and said, “You need to be left in a bad odor for ten thousand years.”
Yang Rong was silent, thought for a long time, then said: “I only remember when I was young, my grandfather taught me to read, so far all unforgettable. That book is called to teach, is not it is worried about the country and the people, loyalty to the emperor and love the people? Such a simple truth, why nowadays, everyone is taking the four books and five classics, as a profit-making thing? I would like to go back to basics, as when I was a child reading, only with the purest eyes to see the reasoning in the book, since it is considered beneficial to the country and the people’s initiatives, even if not to support, at least not to interfere. Instead of always thinking, the name of the back, the back of things, who can say it clearly?”
Hu Guang was silent.
Yang Rong then said, “Look at it again, don’t be anxious, maybe Zhang Anshi really can’t make things happen, but instead …… like Wang Anshi’s new law, the world is boiling, so …… patiently wait and take a good look again. ”
Hu Guang also had to nod, “Be taught.”
Yang Rong said, “Hu Gong’s talent is higher than mine, the reason why you are sometimes confused is just that sometimes, things are not thought out clearly, that’s why the sages say, three times to reflect on ourselves.”
……
“Your Majesty ……”
Zhu Di looked at the newly delivered report and was speechless for a long time.
Yiluoha called out several times from the side, but Zhu also turned a deaf ear.
For a long time, he looked up and got up, only to look at a glance also lost ha, “Zhang Anshi this kid, the courage is not small.”
“Is not small guts.” Also lost ha laughed and said, “slave girl heard, this news out, south Zhili’s land prices, plummeted thirty percent, only a few hours.”
“So powerful?” Zhu was quite surprised.
“It is still not the nine counties of Taipingfu fell first, Your Majesty think about it, this land …… if it is directly divided into households, then this land …… it is still worth money? Furthermore, who can guarantee that too much land in hand will not be missed? As a result, the land price of Taiping Province plummeted directly, and the land prices of other provinces, also plummeted, once upon a time there were some people, who had worked hard to save up a lifetime of silver, they expected to be able to buy two acres of land and pass it on to their children and grandchildren, but now take a look at the ……”
Speaking of which, Yilostha grinned and tried to laugh.
“Into your mother.” Zhu scolded, “What are you laughing at?”
Yizhuoha immediately began to cry and wail, “Slave servant …… slave servant ten thousand deaths.”
Zhu said, “There is no harm if this land price doesn’t fall, but once it does, Zhang Anshi, that kid, should be careful.”
Yiluoha then said, “Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has the Brocade Guards, so what are you afraid of? Furthermore, who has such guts ……”
Zhu shook his head: ”You underestimate those people too much. Hidden households, they dare to do, indiscriminate killing of innocents, they also dare to do, collusion with the government, deceiving the top and the bottom, which one of the things they do not dare to do? Do you really think these people …… will only say a few phrases of the classics on the surface, do you think they are really stupid showmen?”
Zhu Di said, “There’s a saying that taking someone’s money is like killing their parents, can’t you even carry that?”
Yizhuha heard, busy said, “Yes, slave girl really ……”
Zhu Di waved his hand, “Of course, what I am thinking of is also the worst case scenario, things are not as bad as this.”
Also lost Ha then said: “slave girl also heard, Taiping Province, and set up a lot of government offices, there are a lot of, are to deal with agricultural affairs. There is that Marquis Deng, now also in the six counties to assist the people, prepare for spring plowing it. The spring plowing of these six counties has been delayed, so ……”
Zhu nodded: “When …… the time comes, take a good look at it, and see if the land is divided up and what is the result.”
Yiluoha frowned slightly and said, “What if something goes wrong?”
“Out of chaos ……” Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then said: “If out of chaos, this can only say that this is not done, I gave Zhang Anshi brocade guards, but also in charge of the model battalion, but also the prefects, there is also my extreme support, if it is This thing, he is not able to cope with, which means that no one under the sky can do these things, may I personally sit in the town can not.”
“Ah ……” also lost ha surprised, “then …… not do it?”
Zhu Di said: “Of course, I want the world to stabilize, the countryside is fundamental, if a thing, look at the benefits, and is beneficial to the country and the people, but the implementation does not go on, but resistance, causing the world’s hearts and minds in turmoil, then naturally can not continue to implement. So …… this can only rely on Zhang Qingjia’s ability, which is good or bad, everything will wait and see.”
Yiluoha nodded, “Your Majesty’s words are truly thought-provoking, and the slave girl has been taught.”
Zhu Di slanted him a glance and said: ”You are still being taught? Why did you learn this? What are your intentions?”
Also Lost Ha: “……”
Spring plowing is just around the corner, and there are quite a few new seedlings for Ken Deng to promote at this time.
Of course …… the vast majority of the arable land is still dominated by rice in the south of the river.
He had them distributed, and those who were willing to try them were given potato seedlings to plant on a trial basis.
As for rice seeds, the farm side also cultivated some and distributed them around.
The problem now is that farming tools …… Zhang Anshi advocated that everyone use better farming tools to cultivate the land, so Qixia s Farming Tools and Instruments Workshop manufactured a large number of farming tools and tried to distribute them at a cheaper price.
Deng Jian traveled around the six counties and came back a lot darker.
Zhang Anshi personally went to greet him, saying repeatedly, “Tough, tough ……”
“Where hard work.” Deng Jian said, “Those farmers are the real hard work, one by one …… hey ……”
He appeared to be speechless, and after a pause, he added: “However, many farmers are all thankful, saying that you have done great merit. They got the land, really treat this land as their own treasure, daily labor, do not dare to be idle. There is also that rice seed, has also been distributed, in fact, thanks to you.”
Zhang Anshi said a good way, in fact, is to use different kinds of rice seeds hybridization, this idea, but also kind of let Deng Jian opened new eyes.
The principle of hybridization is actually relatively simple, because this rice is a self-pollinating plant, usually a strain of rice is in a plant to complete the pollination, produce offspring, and hybrid rice is mainly a male flower stamens removed, and then another male flower pollen for the removal of stamens for the pollination of the male flower, so that a strain of hybrid rice is produced.
Of course, it’s easier said than done in practice.
Because the essence of hybridization is to complement each other, you need to look for different strains of rice, and then try a thousand times or even ten thousand times to keep looking for better hybrids.
It is especially rare to find a number of wild rice seeds.
Ken Deng had tried it last year and found a new kind of rice seed that did increase yields a bit.
Of course …… only improve some just, far less than the latter days as to reach thousands of pounds per acre as exaggerated.
But it was enough to greatly energize Deng Jian, who now had a large amount of land on his farm after all, and plenty of manpower, and set about searching for rice seeds and conducting experiments.
Now the entire six counties, Zhang Anshi allocated another 50,000 acres of land to Deng Jian’s farm, now Deng Jian has begun to draw up a number of new grain species of test planting has been hybrid rice experimental program.
Deng Jian said: “This time, also distributed a lot of rice seed to go, this rice seed, is the most welcome, but the new grain seed, farmers are skeptical, do not dare to easily go to plant. Even if it is planted, but also only willing to open one or two acres of land to try. In addition, there is this fertilizer method, as well as irrigation method, I also want to find a way to teach people to the various miles to teach, those miles, at first do not put us in the eyes, but then heard that we are your uncle, but one by one, see the farm people, they would like to kneel down to entertain. Once upon a time you called us uncle, we feel strange in our hearts, always feel inappropriate, but now we feel that no matter what, we have to recognize you as a nephew, otherwise, many things in this farm, I’m afraid that the implementation will not be able to go on.”
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but say, “In a few days, I’ll send another message to the counties, all the personnel of the farms, all of them should be asked to find special people to entertain them, but also to warn the lower heads, whoever dares to be impolite, will be severely punished.”
Teng Jian hurriedly said, “No need, no need, in fact, the farmers still welcome the people from the farm, after all, it’s teaching knowledge of farming, it’s not bad for them. This time, it was rather that Jian Ying who contributed a lot.”
“Jian Ying?” As soon as Zhang Anshi heard the word Jian Ying, his face pulled down and said, “This person ……”
“We know about this too.” Deng Jian glanced at Zhang Anshi and understood why Zhang Anshi reacted like this.
So said, “This thing ah, he also already know, he said …… his father, was victimized by those people. He said that his father …… is really heart of the people, where thought ……”
Zhang Anshi hung his head low, as if thinking about something, and then sighed: “If this person harbors a grudge, uncle should never be merciful. This time Master Yao died, I was taught the biggest lesson ……”
Deng Jian smiled, but interrupted Zhang Anshi, saying, “We will take care of it, don’t worry.”
Zhang Anshi nodded.
Just after a pause, he added: “Of course, if this person is really not harboring hatred, but thinks that his father, just by the people around him mutilated, but also please uncle take good care of him, his father …… in a sense, is also considered a good official.”
Ken Deng responded.
Teng Jian said, “Finally, I’m done, a few days of leisure in a busy time, later we still have to go to see Changsheng, how is Changsheng now?”
Zhang Anshi stammered, “I have also been busy lately ……”
Teng Jian sighed, “You can’t even care about your own wife and children? How can this be?”
Zhang Anshi also knew that his time to accompany his wife and children was a bit less, and he could not help but show a few guilty looks, and said under his breath, “It is not that I cannot take care of it, it is just that there are a thousand things at hand right now, and I am worried that things will be done badly, and I will lose all of my efforts at that time.”
Deng Jian is very immediately understand the pressure of Zhang Anshi, how many people’s lives, are betting on Zhang Anshi.
Teng Jian is quite a bit of heartache: “Back then, ah, you daily idle, but I did not expect, as if overnight grew up, did not think, now it is a laborious life.”
Then, Teng Jian still couldn’t help but advise, “But there’s always more to go home to see, your wife is now pregnant with her second child, it’s not easy for her either.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Then later I will go back with you, mainly because our residence in Qixia is not well built, and now many people outside want to harm me, I go out of the door, it will take hundreds of people to follow me, Qixia is away from our Zhang family, but also a lot of road, I ……”
Explained.
Deng Jian only laughed, he knew that Zhang Anshi was afraid of death, it is said that now Zhang Anshi went out, the faction has been no less than the crown prince, the front and back.
But the guy was right to have such concerns, after all, there were probably quite a few people who hated him now.
Immediately, the two returned to the Zhang family in Nanjing City.
As soon as Zhang Anshi returned, he immediately hurried toward the back of the dormitory, exclaiming, “Changsheng, Changsheng ……”
When he stepped into the room, he saw Changsheng playing with a seven-colored ball on the couch; he was still small, grasping it in his hand, barely sitting on the couch, grinning, and drooling.
The nursemaid was careful to hold him falsely at one side, fearing that he might fall at once.
Xu Jingyi stomach is already not small, at this time, sitting with a big belly, also do not do women’s red, hands are holding a book to read.
Seeing that Zhang Anshi had returned, he got up, and seeing that Deng Jian was following him, he immediately said, “Quickly go and pour tea.”
The girl went immediately.
Zhang Anshi saw the ball Zhang Changsheng was playing with in his hand and laughed: “Haha …… this is not our workshop’s relics ……”
As soon as she heard the word relics, Xu Jingyi’s face changed, and she immediately sprinted to Zhang Changsheng’s front, snatching the relics that she was almost about to stuff into her mouth, her face a little pale.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said, “No, no, I don t mean this, I mean, this is based on the Sherry, fired out of the glass ball, this glass ball …… is sold to children to play, just did not expect, sold to our own home.”
Only then did Xu Jingyi look fearful, “You should have said it earlier, it scared me.”
Zhang Anshi stepped forward and picked up Zhang Changsheng, Zhang Changsheng was without his glass ball, flattened his mouth and wanted to cry, but when he saw that the person he was hugging was Zhang Anshi, he obviously still recognized who Zhang Anshi was, so he tried to flatten his mouth for a while before grinning with effort, giggling and cackling.
Zhang Anshi hugged him on one side and stroked his breast hair on the other, saying, “This child …… is more and more like me.”
Teng Jian, on the other hand, and Xu Jingyi greeted each other.
Xu Jingyi invited him to sit down and personally served him tea, “I heard that uncle has been going around the townships these days, it’s hard work.”
Teng Jian said, “All people have their own suffering, why should I work harder than others.”
Xu Jingyi then smiled and said, “This is true, uncle, I heard …… that you are learning agriculture beside you, and there are women?”
Ken Deng said, “Those are the children of the offending officials, someone who wants to raise a family and is also willing to help out on the farm.”
Xu Jingyi said, “I’ve also read many books, from the Qixia side, all of which encourage women to practice their profession.”
“This ……” Deng Jian said, “There is? This …… we really don’t know.”
Zhang Anshi came up and said, “Yes, yes, yes, and quite a lot of it.”
Xu Jingyi couldn’t help but say curiously, “Why are there all these books?”
“This ……” Zhang Anshi could not answer.
It’s not that we can’t really answer, but this involves the issue of economic base and superstructure.
At the end of the day, the reason why all this is popular on the Sukhumvit side, per se, is because the fire for Sukhumvit’s development has arrived.
With the emergence of a large number of workshops, especially textile workshops, which require a large number of female laborers, more such female laborers, everyone will not be surprised, and even become a commonplace in many families.
As it happens, when these women workers can earn their own money, they have the spending power, and most of them will reluctantly learn some words and buy some books.
In this way, soon Qixia’s booksellers found that although there are many other books, different audiences, but a variety of books about women, especially women’s books, actually also have a not small audience, and these audiences, but also extremely solid, buy a lot of people.
Booksellers see a profitable, crazy, desperately looking for readers about manuscripts, heavy reward, there will be a brave man, so, some of the down-and-out readers, there are some ‘scum’, they suddenly became a woman’s confidant, daily books are written all kinds of women’s heroes, or fabricated ancient female generals, female merchants, and so on. They were all the same.
To this Qixia, there are quite a bit of wind gradually open trend.
Xu Jingyi said, “They should write well about my aunt, when the time of the Jingan, my aunt still personally led the female soldiers to defend the city. Outside of Beiping, with half a million southern troops, she didn’t even frown.”
Zhang Anshi’s eyes lit up, “Write, all can be written, take a pen, the pen is given to you, you write.”
Jingyi Xu: “……”
Ken Dunn: “……”
Zhang Anshi said with gusto, “Come, beloved wife, I’ll sharpen your ink.”
…………………………
The second chapter is delivered, the tiger rest is more chaotic, so although the daily update a lot, but always let everyone unsatisfied, mainly update is too chaotic, this point the tiger apologized, the tiger think of a way, get a fixed time it.
