Chapter 20

Zhu Yijun II is a human being, will he know how to farm?
He really can't.

The only living plant was the green radish, the kind of green radish that can be grown with a little water and a little soil, but he killed all of them in the end.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to farm. There are countless people who can farm in the Ming Dynasty like crucian carp crossing the river. This is the Central Plains where farming is engraved in the bones. Even in the Wanli period, look around. Farmer?

As the emperor, Zhu Yijun wanted to farm. He organized some experienced old farmers to carry out special research on potato planting. In fact, it was not very expensive. The big deal was to vacate the Longevity Mountain outside Xuanwu Gate and just farm.

It is the Longevity Mountain where the old crooked neck tree is planted, and it is the Longevity Mountain where Emperor Chongzhen chose to hang himself at the last moment.

If you can grow flowers and plants, you can naturally grow potatoes.

No matter how hard it is, no matter how bad it is, even if the special research fails and no potatoes are grown, the little emperor of Ming Dynasty, who is married to Nong Sang, also expressed his concern for farming, which has no practical significance and has a strong political symbolic meaning , can attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty to potatoes, sweet potatoes, this kind of high-yield crops, which is a huge profit.

If you make an action, trillions of people will look up to it, think it is right, and do it.

When the emperor made a slight move, the common people all over the world watched and felt that the sun was coming out from the west. What did the little emperor do?How many people will look sideways at potatoes and sweet potatoes? Once someone grows twenty or thirty stones, it will be a great deed to save the people and help the world!
Empress Dowager Li was a bit hesitant. The little emperor had just given her a lesson from Hongyi. Dare to say that a ten-year-old master can't rule the world?
Even if it fails, it at least shows that the emperor has a great heart and can gain more recognition.

Empress Dowager Li wanted to shake her head after thinking about it and said: "It's better to learn at ease. Practicing martial arts can also be said to be the method of assassinating the king and killing the ancestors. After all, the emperor Taizu and Chengzu emperor are all illustrious in martial arts. Now the emperor is farming. It's really not doing the job properly, and the courtiers will come together to remonstrate, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to end at that time."

Empress Dowager Li didn't want to cause more troubles, she just hoped that the child would grow up safely and take over the Ming Dynasty smoothly, which could be regarded as living up to the late emperor's entrustment.

Zhu Yijun still did not give up and said: "I will definitely finish my studies well."

"It's not because of schoolwork." Empress Dowager Li hesitated for a while, and explained the stakes in detail. Originally, Empress Dowager Li directly demanded it with authority, so there is no need to explain.

But on the day when the king was assassinated, the little emperor knocked over the table and chairs because he was avoiding the chase, and said as soon as he opened his mouth, don't blame him for his disrespect, which made Queen Mother Li feel sorry for her, and even a little sad. How did the mother and son end up in this situation? For the sake?

The restrictions should be stricter, if I don't explain it clearly, I am afraid that the gap between mother and child will create a greater estrangement.

Will the ministers in the DPRK play a performance because of the little emperor's marriage to Nong Sang, and give pointers to the little emperor's words and deeds?

Yes, definitely, and everyone, even Zhang Juzheng may object.

The emperor is a born noble person. When offering sacrifices to Jumang in spring, it is enough to help the plow symbolically. The most important thing is to study, to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and to be a good emperor who meets their standards.

In the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette was strict.

Luo Gongchen broke his leg while running around, begging his grandpa to tell his grandma that taxes should be collected on foreign ships. This tax was not received by him, Luo Gongchen, but was given to the state money or domestic money.

He is not the only acquaintance of Haiphong in Yuegang City Shipping Department, there are three acquaintances of Haiphong in the Metropolitan Office alone, as well as the internal officer of the Metropolitan Government, Chenghai County Magistrate, Fujian Governor, Patrol Officer, and Fujian Taxation Department. So, Luo Gongchen collects foreign ship taxes, how much can fall into his own pocket?

Luo Gongchen was generating income for the court.

As far as doing this thing that does not harm the interests of any Ming people and generates income for the court, there are many opponents in the court.

The little emperor actually wants to marry Nong Sang, and the courtiers will definitely play a speech.

This also involves the dispute between agriculture and Confucianism.

Agronomy advocates "co-cultivation by the monarch and the people" and "equal distribution of harvest". The co-cultivation of the monarch and the people means that the king personally participates in farming, and the equal distribution of harvest means that all harvests should be evenly distributed to all people.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve even harvest productivity in the pre-Qin period, which is similar to the political philosophy of Utopia and Great Harmony.

And the common farming between the monarch and the people is a point of view that has been personally refuted by the Confucian sage, Mencius!

"Mencius Teng Wengong Chapter 4" records in detail how Mencius personally discussed the issue of farming with the agronomist and the people, and won with an overwhelming advantage. Of course, this is a unilateral record of Confucianism, and agronomy has long lost its orthodoxy. .

This is all the story of the pre-Qin era. Will the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty still use the disputes of the pre-Qin era to argue the truth of the Ming Dynasty?

Isn't this the emperor of the Ming Dynasty holding the Shangfang sword from the previous dynasty?
Confucian scholars, they really do.

Because Confucianism is an extremely ancient doctrine, and Confucian scholars are an extremely ancient group. The first thing a group of officials like to do is to be above the three generations of law. If you quote like this, it seems that you are uneducated.

The emperor planted the land himself, so wouldn't all the carnivores in the world want to plant the land?

This slap is the face of Mencius, the great sage of Confucianism, and the face of Confucian students all over the world.

When the monarch and the people work together, it is a great treason!
Queen Mother Li is ignorant of learning, but she understands the ministers, and these ministers want to preach when they have nothing to do, let alone something to do.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen, the empress dowagers of the two palaces, were quite dissatisfied with the corrupt Confucianism. Words, bound the emperor.

Those ministers who were deeply educated in Confucianism, the powerful and powerful, and the gentry, as long as they have a little submissive heart towards the Confucian classics, they can ignore the country, and if they don’t promote only perseverance, they will know that they will unswervingly dig Ming Dynasty. the corner?
Empress Dowager Li explained the reason earnestly. If the emperor really wants to do it, he can wait until he grows up, and then do it when he is in charge.

Zhu Yijun fully understood Empress Dowager Li's worry, nodded and said, "I understand."

After he returned to his dormitory in the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, he neither read the books of sages nor thought about the promotion of the party, but was thinking about how to promote the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Zhu Yijun didn't even care about collecting taxes on foreign ships, and all his thoughts were on the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

After weighing for a short time, he decided that he must go on, and wanted to get rid of the shackles of the ethics of the monarch and the people working together. The key to this matter was none other than Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng is in control of the cabinet, if he can firmly support his marriage to Nongsang, and the monarch and the people work together, then this matter may not be impossible.

Zhang Juzheng is not a traditional, old-fashioned, pedantic, and stubborn Confucian scholar, but all reformers will have doubts about the old system, and then want to improve it and display their ambitions.

In fact, no matter what happened in this matter, Zhu Yijun would not be considered a disadvantage. Even if the monarch and the people could not work together in the end, it would cause the entire Ming Dynasty to pay more attention to crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The ten-year-old boy, the emperor, was worried about the world's worries, cared about the world, and wanted to do these things for the world, but he didn't pay attention to the methods and methods. After all, the little emperor hadn't studied Mencius, and he had only studied the Analects for three days. , I don't know the severity of it.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty still have this kind of tolerance. Those who do not have this kind of tolerance are naturally ministers who do not cultivate benevolence and do not have the heart of obedience. , Dig out the heart, liver, spleen and stomach to see if they are all black!
Zhu Yijun signaled Zhang Hong to turn off the lights, go to bed early and get up early, and grow taller.

Zhang Hong understood what His Majesty was thinking.

When Zhang Hong left the Qianqing Palace, he waited at the side of the palace gate without lighting the lamp, blending into the night, and waited for a long time before a palace maid hurried over.

"Have you told Xu Jue?" Zhang Hong asked.

"Yes." The maid hurriedly replied.

Zhang Hong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Well, let's go back."

Xu Jue was Feng Bao's man, Xu Jue worshiped Feng Bao as his godfather, he was Feng Bao's confidant, and this palace maid was arranged by Zhang Hong to inform Feng Bao.

Zhang Hong found that he was more than capable of being a eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, but he was not yet able to be an ancestor. As for the speechless ability of Ge Shouli, who was hated by Feng Bao in the outer court, Zhang Hong still didn't have it.

This is an opportunity for Feng Bao, it depends on whether Feng Dadang is submissive or not.

At this time, in the Wenchang Pavilion of the Quanchu Guild Hall, Zhang Juzheng was lighting three bright lamps, writing and drawing non-stop. He was extremely busy with official duties, and after returning to his private house from Wenyuan Pavilion, he came to the study room. Annotate the new Four Books and Five Classics for the little emperor, and also write a book "Di Jian Tu Shuo" for the emperor himself.

This Emperor Jiantu said that it has illustrations, because it is afraid that the little emperor will be impatient to read, so some illustrations are made to attract children. The illustrations are in charge of by the attendant Ma Ziqiang, and the stories in it are edited by Zhang Juzheng himself.

Zhang Juzheng really hoped that Emperor Wanli would become a generation of Mingjun. On the cold first month of spring, he was not in the Nuan Pavilion, but in the study, wearing a heavy cloak, painting in person.

The pen in Zhang Juzheng's hand is a hard pen with a graphite core sent by the palace, which is the pencil used by the little emperor.

The little emperor's oral instructions are right, the pencil is very easy to use, especially for Zhang Juzheng who needs a lot of writing, the biggest advantage of continuous writing without ink is not only saving time, but the most important thing is that the train of thought will not be interrupted.

Zhang Juzheng is a scholar, and he writes well in calligraphy and Taige style. With a little use of this hard-tipped calligraphy, the writing is extremely beautiful. After he finishes writing, he will hand it over to the secretary for transcription. Little Emperor preview.

"Master, it's already midnight." You Qi solemnly told Zhang Juzheng to rest. You Qi is Zhang Juzheng's big housekeeper. In Daming, he is called Shi Ye, and his family members have different names. In short, You Qi He is Zhang Juzheng's confidant.

Zhang Juzheng never had a private word with Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of rites, at any time and any place.

This is a taboo matter. Once the chief assistant of the outer court and the inner court are linked up, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be frightened.

In most cases, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng rely on eye contact and tacit understanding.

But there are some things that must be confirmed in private. This You Qi and Xu Jue, the eunuch in the palace, are from the same hometown.

If there are really big things, such as when the queen mother wants to abolish Gao Gong's position as the first assistant and needs the cooperation of the outer court, Xu Jue will communicate with You Qi.

Zhang Juzheng rubbed his slightly swollen eye sockets and said: "After finishing this chapter, the 81 sages' rules and 36 expositions will be finished. They can be carved tomorrow morning, and they can be used for the banquet at noon."

"A letter came from the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor wants to cultivate the land himself." You Qi said with a particularly strange expression.

Zhang Juzheng also looked at You Qi with a puzzled expression, and asked in confusion, "Huh?"

This little emperor really took an unusual path.

Learning martial arts is one of the six arts of a gentleman advocated by Confucius. The emperor can practice it or not. He is not afraid of hard work and does not delay his studies, so he can practice it.

What's the matter with this kind of place?
 It is very important to follow up!Wu Xiang who Lin Yu and sister-in-law Gui repeat.Thank you all for your rewards, thank you very much.Woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ
