Royal road

On the fifth watch of Pingdan, the sun is about to rise in the east, and the locked palace gate is slowly opened.It's another morning.

As usual, hundreds of officials lined up outside the gate of the palace, and entered from the east and west gates divided into civil and military.Drums and music, shout long live, participate in the emperor.

When the emperor was promoted to the throne, all the officials also sat in attendance.Lang Ganbao carefully gathered his robes and sat beside all the officials.Holding the living booklet, ready to take a pen to record.

Like other academicians of Chongwenguan, Ganbao was also appointed as an official after the founding of the People's Republic of China.Entered the Taishi Supervisor, served as a writer, and edited the history of the country.He has read a lot of books and is proficient in historiography. He composes history books just as he likes, and his work can be regarded as impressive.However, two months ago, the ex-Liang Lang retired and returned to his hometown. Guo Pu, a member of Zhongshushe, took the opportunity to recommend him to the emperor.Xu Shi had heard of his talent and name, and the emperor ordered him to take over the post of living man.

In terms of official positions, there is a similar difference between the living man and the writing man.But Zuoshulang is just the assistant official in the Taishijian, while Qijulang is under the jurisdiction of the secretary supervisor. He has to enter the palace every day and accompany him around. He is a close minister of the emperor.This is an unattainable benefit, how could Gan Bao not cherish it?Therefore, I have been working hard these days and dare not neglect the slightest.

On the pen and paper, Gan Bao concentrated on listening to the performance in the palace.

Now that the army is marching west, the most important thing is the battle in Yongzhou.The Privy Envoy and the Minister of the Ministry of War successively came out to report the war situation.This battle was not like the previous campaign against Youzhou, it was fought with extreme caution.Now the partial division has recovered Feng Yi County, and the chariot and cavalry general Yi Yan personally leads the army, garrisoning troops and threatening Chang'an.It seems that there is a tendency to encircle and fight for help.

Chang'an is a fortified city no less than Luoyang, so siege is better than storm.Only in this way, the loss of food and grass is quite large.However, the state of Zhao had a good harvest for several years, and there was no war for two years, so there was no shortage of food.However, the puppet Han and the Xiongnu had civil strife for years, locust disasters continued, and they had to guard against the king's division. How could there be extra food and fodder?In less than two months, there must be chaos.

The battle situation was clear, and it didn't take too long to report it.It was Zhongshu who ordered Zhang Bin to mention the rebellion in the Tuoba tribe in Youzhou.Tuoba Yilu, the Duke of Daijun, spoiled his youngest son, which made his eldest son Tuoba Liuxiu furious and rebelled.Now he has killed his father and younger brother, and claims to be the Great Chanyu.Tuoba Yulu asked Zhao Guo for help, and wanted to send troops to seek rebellion.

Sitting on the throne, Liang Feng frowned slightly: "The following offenders, murdering their fathers and younger brothers, are heinous people who will be punished! I order Xie Kun, the governor of Youzhou, to help Tuoba Yulu fight against the rebellion."

Dai Jungong was appointed by the imperial court. Now that he is killed, how can he let it go?Tuoba Yulu is also an old acquaintance of Zhao Guo, and has assisted Zhao Jun to defend against the enemy many times.These words are just and fair in both emotion and reason.However, the courtiers who are familiar with Youzhou's frontier affairs all know in their hearts that Tuoba Yulu is not the number one successor of the Tuoba tribe.Even more powerful before him was Tuoba Pugen, the son of Tuoba Yilu's elder brother.According to Xianbei etiquette, as long as Tuoba Pugen wiped out Tuoba Liuxiu, he could become the next Shanyu.

Now Zhao Guo stepped in and assisted Tuoba Yulu in sending troops to fight against the rebellion.If it happens, Tuoba Yulu is likely to become the new Xianbei Chanyu.And if he takes the throne, how can Tuoba Pugen be willing?Both of them are good at fighting and ambitious. No matter who succeeds the Tuoba tribe, it may promote its growth.But the fight between the two tigers will only lead to the resurgence of internal strife in the Tuoba tribe.

However, the sinister plan in the court fell into Gan Bao's pen, only "Jiayin in the fifth autumn and August, Tuoba Liuxiu conspired to rebel, and killed the Duke of Dai. The governor of Youzhou, Xie Kun, was ordered to discuss it." It's as simple as that. One sentence.

After dealing with the military affairs, Guo Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, went out and said: "Your Majesty, Guo Xingqi, the book "Nongsang Yaoshu" has been collated by the Department of Agricultural Affairs and has been completed. Please read it."

Liang Feng immediately regained his spirits: "Submit it quickly!"

The servant immediately brought two bound books and placed them respectfully on the imperial case.Liang Feng casually flipped through the catalog, looked at it for a while, and then nodded his head: "Just this one book can keep thousands of people alive! I will reward the Department of Agriculture and Political Affairs with [-] gold for editing and [-] silk. I ordered the Royal Bookstore to publish it and spread it to all states and counties! "

This reward is really not thin, let alone it can be published in the world.Guo Xing immediately fell to his knees and thanked him.

However, there was an official from the Yushitai who came out and said: "Your Majesty, you can't! If the agricultural books are leaked and obtained by the rebels, wouldn't it be troublesome? I think that after the southern land is unified, it will be published!"

Although this remark is reckless, there is some merit in it.Wouldn't it be more troublesome if the remnants of the former dynasty in the south were allowed to obtain agricultural books and increase the yield of the fields?It is better to put the book away first, and wait until the world is unified before publishing it.

But Guo Xing seemed to have the intention of being an enemy, and Guo Shangshu quickly defended himself: "Your Majesty, there is a huge difference in the climate between the north and the south, and there are not many methods of farming and mulberry in the South in the "Nong Shu"..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Liang Feng said: "It's okay. The whole world is my people, and this act of benefiting the people should be broadcast. If there are people in the south who are willing to use good methods, am I still afraid that he will support a few more people? What's more, no one in the South has such a heart. Self-interested profit is the harm of the country."

After saying this, the whole hall was silent.Yes, if it can really double the output, why are those aristocratic families willing to let the agricultural books be leaked?I'm afraid that all of them will be pressed at the bottom of the box, just to get more harvest for my own farm.But if you want to promote the good law, you need the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs and the Agricultural Officials to let the ignorant people know how to farm.Besides Zhao Guo, who else would do such thankless drudgery?The aristocratic and wealthy families in the south who control the government are afraid that they would like farmers with barren fields and starvation to dedicate themselves to the noble family!

And the behavior of thinning the world to enrich oneself will definitely cause further turmoil.If Nandi really got the agricultural book, maybe defeat is just around the corner.

After hearing this, the censor fell to his knees in embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent. It is my narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness. Please punish me."

Liang Feng said warmly: "Let's get down. This agricultural book is only the first edition. In the future, we will add farming methods in Sichuan, Jingchu, Jianghuai, Jiaoguang and other places. One stone. This is the fault of the imperial court and the disgrace of all officials. To govern a country is not to be strict in virtue. If there were no three emperors who made fire, fished and hunted, and planted grains, and there were no five emperors who quelled chaos, controlled water, and Zen the world, how could the rule of three generations come about? I dare not say it myself Compared with Yao and Shun, they also have the heart to benevolent and benefit the people. From now on, regardless of the six departments, any law that benefits the people can be passed on to the world!"

These words attracted all the ministers to bow down and praise.Gan Bao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly wrote down, "The Secretary of Agriculture and Mulberry published "Nongsang Yaoshu" and presented it to the imperial court. Shangyue said: "Governing the country lies in virtue and not in strictness. Any law that benefits the people can be passed on to the world." Mingzhou County publication."

However, facing the praises, Liang Feng looked indifferent.After five years of governing the country, he has already understood that in the age when education was not popularized, suppressing aristocratic families is tantamount to seeking fish after a tree.Among the regular subjects, more than half of the children of the aristocratic families are selected every year.As long as they are willing, they will have all the talents and advantages.And even if a poor family is appointed, these rich and powerful who have not "fed enough" will try their best to amass money, annex land, and expand their power.Sooner or later, when the contradictions intensify to the peak, those mud legs who are regarded as ants will once again raise their swords and raise the banner of "uprising" to redistribute benefits.

No one can cut off the greed in people's hearts.But Liang Feng knew one thing.The economic base determines the superstructure, and productivity determines the relations of production.If you want to delay the arrival of this change as much as possible, the easiest way is to let the productivity continue to rise and reverse the transformation of the production relationship.

And basic science is the key to everything.Write agricultural books to encourage agricultural development.Promote Chen Baigong and broaden the minds of craftsmen.For those who study mathematics, chemistry, geography, mechanics, and even basic physics, a wider road.Use "the emperor's favor" to cut a narrow gap on the high wall.Some smart people may notice it, but these scientific advances are equally important to the rich and powerful who own a lot of land.Who will have trouble with money?

Coincidentally, the turn of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was the era in which Confucianism declined most in the past 500 years.When Huang Lao re-enters the vision of the upper class, can he also bring back one or two of the schools of thought?

In governing the country, Liang Feng does not intend to replace Confucianism with science.But these technological developments will inevitably become a powerful supplement to governing the country.When you have a new understanding of the size of the earth and know that there is an infinite territory beyond China.Will the 300-year cycle of death be changed?

He doesn't know if it's completely correct to do so, but in his lifetime, these will definitely promote social progress and make the lower class people live more comfortably and with more dignity.

For him, these are far better than the name of a sage king through the ages.

After confirming the policy of publishing agricultural books and delegating to prefectures and counties, Liang Feng handled a few more government affairs, and then announced his resignation.Gan Bao hurriedly packed up his pen and ink, got up and followed Yu Jia.After only two months in the job, he knew that today's people are diligent in political affairs.After the Chang Dynasty, they usually return to the Chuigong Hall to correct the memorials.Sometimes he will recruit important ministers from the Taiwan Pavilion to play the right game.A living man like him can't speak at will.The emperor is not like the author of the previous dynasty, who consults him about state affairs.

Sitting quietly in a corner, Gan Bao fulfilled his duties and recorded the saint's daily life that day.When the emperor was eating, he was also given to eat in the porch.Sometimes Ganbao can't tell the difference, does the emperor value daily life, or does he not take it seriously?

Restrain the emperor's words and deeds with daily life notes, and combine ancient rituals.His Majesty went a step further and set up a living room.Daily life notes should also be handed over to historians to write memoirs for future generations to read.This undoubtedly shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the words of historians.However, the strange thing is that the emperor will not restrain himself in every possible way just because he is by his side.Occasionally, if there is a slip of the tongue, he will not call Qi Julang to delete his notes.So naturally, let him annotate the book.

Perhaps this is the bearing of a generation of sages.What happened today really made Gan Bao feel a lot.After dinner, he sat back to his original place.At this moment, an urgent letter was delivered to the palace.

That's the battle report from Yongzhou!Even Ganbao couldn't help but feel refreshed.Is there another good news?

However, it never occurred to me that the emperor opened the letter and looked at it for a while, and then laughed: "Such a bold and reckless act will suffocate you."

In that laughter, there was reproach and helplessness.More, it is casual intimacy.With a trembling of Gan Bao's fingers, a dot of ink was stained on the paper.He hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be writing.My heart was up and down, as if I had heard something that I shouldn't have heard.

But the emperor didn't care about him, and quickly approved the military newspaper.He also called the privy envoy to discuss the military situation.

A few days later, the real news came.General Yi personally acted as bait and led five thousand soldiers to lure out 3 Huns and break the siege.How can this be described as "daring and reckless"?Gan Bao couldn't help but smile wryly, it seems that the rumors in the palace are not fake.When General Yi returns to court, how will he remember his daily life notes?
