Take a fool to farm

Chapter 439
"Disaster, another disaster!" In the imperial study, a thick pile of notebooks was piled up in front of Zhao Wen, flipping through them one by one, they were all disasters.

In the early dynasty, the contents of the courtiers' performances were also disasters.

This year's winter came earlier than any other year, and it was more intense.No, not just some.When the first snow came, the biting cold flooded the capital.It is not surprising that the north is like this, and it has been flying for several days without end.When the heavy snow stopped, the excerpts of the snow disaster in the Northland began to appear.Before it could be dealt with in the future, the folds of the north and the south came up; when Zhao Wen saw that Changzhou and other southern regions were already covered by heavy snow, his heart was completely cold.

The icy and snowstorms, skyrocketing commodity prices, collapsed houses, and numerous casualties among the people.

In the face of the snow disaster, apart from making statements on the papers, the courtiers without exception asked for money and people.

And the Ministry of War needs money this time. The budget of the Ministry of War is overrun, and the soldiers cannot survive the winter normally!
Yes, the national treasury has been rich in recent years, but if the money is thrown down, it will at most create an ice hole, but that is a bottomless pit!The immediate emergency can be solved but the long-term disaster cannot be saved.It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, and after ten days and a half months of snow, the field will be barren in the beginning of spring, and there will be no harvest in the spring!Zhao Wen's family has never been in such a hurry. This is how many pennies are enough for a penny!

What made him even more angry was that when most of the courtiers were asking for money, some people wanted his life to take over the Zhao family. They said that natural disasters and visions were due to the lack of virtue of the emperor, and they even mentioned Confucius: politicians, Righteousness, Zi Shuai uses righteousness, who dares to be wrong.Even the gangsters in the Qin Tianjian who eat and drink jumped out and said that it was a warning from the heavens for their lack of virtue, and that the sky was falling to show good and bad warnings, and the emperor's self-examination and adjustments were made into political strategies.If it is not corrected in time, it will cause people and gods to resent the heaven and the earth intolerable, and there will be people's grievances boiling, disasters and chaos, the world will be in chaos, people will perish, and the government will rest...

Zhao Wen was so angry that a group of alarmist talkers chopped off a person's head.The courtiers were even more panicked, but they still licked their faces and reached out to ask for money.

It's nothing more than asking for money, but there is no specific disaster relief plan.Still open the granary and distribute the porridge according to the original method, these things are useless!

After reading a few more notebooks, Zhao Wen couldn't bear it anymore, and swept all the notebooks on the imperial case to the ground with a wave of his hand.

"The emperor calm down!" The servants, big and small, who were close to him, knelt on the ground.

"Get out!" Everyone calmed themselves down, but everyone was stirring up their own anger!
Seeing a group of servants filing in and out, Gan Mao knew that the master was angry again, and the anger was getting bigger and bigger every day!He sighed softly, and called out in a low voice outside the hall: "Your Majesty!"

"Get out!" On weekdays, Zhao Wen could still restrain his anger and be a modest king, but now he felt too tired, and after the beating and scolding, he felt more happy: "One person is guilty of the dog's shelter; If one person is guilty, there is nothing to blame; if the people have faults, it is up to one person; if I am guilty, there is no way to blame; if all parties are guilty, I am guilty. ,,, nonsense, all nonsense!" Although Zhao Wen chopped The head of Qin Tianjian's old man was still a little guilty, and he went back to the imperial study and checked the edict of the previous emperor's sin, but the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.Since he thought that he had worked hard for the people and the world since he ascended the throne, he almost died. Why should he be responsible for such a natural disaster vision?

"The emperor calm down, the Dieying team inspected the situation inside and outside the capital!" Gan Mao thought about the information he got, and said that it is actually difficult to keep the master from being angry.

"Speak!" What is said in the booklet is one thing, but what you see is another.I don't have clairvoyance, but I have the Butterfly Shadow Team and the Dark Guard Battalion.

It's okay if you don't listen, but Zhao Wen's face turns pale when he hears it!
"Your Majesty, the rich and noble people in the capital have deep roots, huge projects, and few collapsed houses, but nine out of ten ordinary people in the suburbs of Beijing have no shelter, no food, no clothes for the cold...!" The emperor's feet are considered the best, One can imagine how desolate the remote towns and villages must be.

"Without exception?" Zhao Wen heard that the victims complained, chatted and even started to scold the court, and was even more furious?If the whole world scolds me like this, then it's really my fault!

"There are two Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and none of them huddled together to keep warm and insult the world!" Gan Mao thought, perhaps, the emperor would like to hear this news more, and this is also the best way for him to extinguish the master's fire after stirring it up. Method: "They are all busy. I heard that they are saving themselves. There are no exceptions, ranging from seniors in their seventies and eighties to children aged five or six!"

"Which two Zhuangzi? Whose family?" Zhao Wen knew that there are always exceptions.

"Back to the emperor, it's Wang Yuan, the former prime minister!" The tone of his voice eased a lot, and Gan Mao's heart was more than half relieved.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going out of the city!" How could this Wang Yuan Xu Jiaoniang forget them.Especially that woman, she is very good at disaster relief!
"Your Majesty!" Gan Mao lifted his heart and said again: "Your Majesty, you are a man of gold and should not go out of the palace lightly. If there is anything wrong, I will be blamed for death!" My lord, you should still be in the Kangqing Palace! If you want to travel, you can travel, if you want to go to Zhuangshang, you can go to Zhuangshang: "What's more, the road has been blocked by heavy snow for more than ten days, and the road is full of ice. Your Majesty, this trip is absolutely impossible!"

"If you can't ride a horse, change to a carriage. If you can't use a horse-drawn carriage, then change to a sedan chair!" Zhao Wen made up his mind to leave the palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" His decision has never changed, so Gan Mao had no choice but to go down and set up his defenses. If he knew it earlier, he would not talk about the matter of the village. Isn't this nothing to find trouble for himself.It’s still ostentatious, right now the people don’t want to live and eat, and you must know that you are going on tour, let alone walking, it is estimated that you will not be able to squeeze it, otherwise it will cause civil uprisings, even if you make the whole row of ministers dare not!

A small sedan chair came out from the palace, and the two men carried it out of the city gate, and then several people with knives passed by.

"Boss, who is this, who is not afraid of freezing to death outside the city even in the snow and ice?" Seeing that the boss personally checked the waist card and let it go, the soldiers guarding the city asked with their hands on their necks.

"Where are so many nonsense, just watch out, I'm going to warm up!" The captain is still thankful that the badge he checked just now was released properly, if he meets this ignorant person, he might lose his head if he encounters trouble Said that he also had to be implicated.The badge of the Butterfly Shadow Team, whoever sees it will be afraid.That was King Kang Qing's secret guard camp, and it was also a team that followed the emperor to fight the world. Such a person's arms were thicker than his own waist.It seems that going out of the city this time will definitely be a big move.

"Move fast and pose handsomely!"

"Beautiful sleds await!"

"Oh, it's over, it's over today!"

From afar, Zhao Wen heard the children cheering in unison.When I opened the car curtain to look, there were twenty or thirty children sweeping snow and playing on the avenue.

This scene doesn't look like a snowstorm at all, it's more like a children's play place.

"Master, the avenues on this village are always cleaned and there is no ice!" Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Gan Mao also couldn't believe that there was no ice on this village after half a month of snowstorm.Now that I stepped on the road and found that it was the same as the information, my heart was relieved a lot.If one Zhuangzi is like this, then thousands of Zhuangzi can be like this.

"Children, come back to eat!" Zhuangkou, a woman shouted loudly.

"Go back to eat, go back to eat!" The children excitedly carried their snow brooms and ran into the Zhuangzi with laughter and laughter. Among this group of children, only one of them stopped after running for a few steps, alone in the snow and rain. Looking at the people and sedan chairs coming not far away.

"Master, are you hungry?" Sitting in a palanquin is indeed not as fast as riding a horse. Hearing them eat, Gan Mao heard his stomach growl, "｜Please let me tell you?" The emperor is here. Seeing that you are still thinking about eating, the emperor I haven't even started eating, so what are you doing.

"No, just go in!" Hungry, it seems a little bit, don't blame myself for being greedy, it's because since the snowstorm, I just don't know how to eat, and I can't sleep or eat!

"Stop, what are you doing?" In the middle of the road, a child stood proudly holding a broom and asked loudly.

"Yo ho, the kid has the guts!" Gan Mao laughed, seeing that the kid should have practiced martial arts, but he was quite courageous.Moreover, so many children have run away, leaving him alone, which shows that he has a strong sense of vigilance and a strong sense of responsibility, and he is a malleable material: "What's your name, how old are you this year?"

"Master Hong!" From far away, someone shouted and ran over: "Master Hong, they are all back, why don't you come back, the master and wife are too busy to take care of you recently, you can't let the little ones suffer!" Beat it!" Wang Tian walked in, wanting to take the young master away, but he refused.

"No way! Parents have said that disaster relief is everyone's responsibility, and they agreed to me!" The child is Zhihong, and he pointed to the sedan chair in front of him and said, "Wang Tian, ​​what are you asking?" Ask them what they do, who are they looking for in our village?"

"Hey, gentlemen, may I ask?" Wang Tian was born in a family, and was chosen by his wife to serve Young Master Hong. He is naturally an elf.

"Go back and tell your master that the old man from Biyun Tower is visiting!" Gan Mao saw the person in the sedan chair nodding, so he had to let him go back to pass on the message.

"Okay, my lord, wait a moment, the younger one will report immediately!" Wang Tian wanted to pull Zhihong away, but at the same time he was anxious to go back to the yard to report.

"Wang Tian, ​​go and tell my parents, I'll take care of it!" Zhihong still maintains the posture of one man guarding the gate and one man not letting go, as if he wants to enter the village and ask me if I agree with the broom .

Wang Tian couldn't beat his master, so he had to quickly run back to the village.

"Kid, let me guess. Your name is Zhihong, and your nickname is Bajin, right?" Gan Mao saw his master, Laoshen, sitting in a sedan chair with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he didn't intend to be an unwelcome guest.Idle is also idle, simply ask the child in front of him, he looks really cute.

"How do you know?" Only Grandma and Grandma Hu called him that in Bajin, and the rest were called Master Hong or Master Hong.

"Why, he is the child delivered by Imperial Doctor Zheng?" Zhao Wen couldn't sit still in the sedan chair, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and came down and asked curiously.

"Yes, Lord!" Back then, when Xu Jiaoniang had a difficult labor, it was because the Lord and the imperial concubine robbed Imperial Doctor Zheng and sent him to the village to save his life.In a blink of an eye, this kid can defend the manor, time flies so fast!
"Come on, eight catties!" After Empress Xu gave birth to two princes, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Lan gave Zhao Wen two more daughters. Both sons and daughters are now the father of four children, but Zhihong reminded Zhao Wen of the past , the interest increased greatly, got off the sedan chair and took Zhihong's hand and said: "Go, accompany Uncle Wen to find your parents!"

"Uncle Wen?" Zhihong couldn't stand the intimacy, and looked up at him suspiciously.

Uncle Wen!Gan Mao's mouth twitched a little when he heard this address, as soon as the master left the palace, there was something wrong with everything.

Why is he here? My brain is pumped!
Seeing the approaching person holding Zhihong's hand, Wang Yuan and Jiaoniang saw surprise in each other's eyes, and quickly went up to him.

"Father, mother, he said it was Uncle Wen, your friend?" Zhihong, who was far away, broke away from Zhao Wen's hand and rushed over.

Hello, Mr. Wen!Is this a Weibo private visit?

"Uncle Wen came from afar and never greeted him, please forgive me!" Wang Yuan pulled Zhihong to his hand and gave it to Jiaoniang, raised his hand and bowed to greet him.It's you who want to keep a low profile, and you can't blame yourself for being unreasonable.

"It's easy to say, I heard that the snow scene in Zhuangshang is unique, so I came here to enjoy the scenery and reminisce!" Zhao Wen saw that the yard behind Wang Yuan was actually crowded with men, women, old and children, and they were all lined up outside the door to look at the visitors curiously. Said slowly.

"Uncle Wen is so excited, please come inside!" To your uncle, people are starving to death everywhere, and you are still interested in enjoying the snow!If it wasn't for his special status, Jiao Niang would have thought that he must have come to her village to eat and drink.On the fourth day of heavy snowfall, Jiaoniang felt something was wrong, so she quickly recruited Luo Zhuangtou, Zha Jian and other managers to discuss preparations for a long-term struggle.After some discussions, not only did the village's granaries be cleared out, but all the households' private collections were also taken out, all registered in the register, and all food consumption was planned and arranged in a unified manner.That is to say, it is time to eat a big pot meal from a small stove, and we will tide over the difficulties together.When the harvest comes, the farmer will refund the money in proportion to the population of each family and the amount of food they have produced.In order to set an example, my family eats the same food as them, which is truly sharing the joys and sorrows.

After entering the inner courtyard, Wang Yuan and Jiao Niang still had to kneel obediently, but they were no longer ministers, but people.

"Get up, go out and patrol, and come to your territory, of course it is up to you!" Zhao Wen regretted a little at this time, if he did not respond to Wang Yuan's request to resign, he could order Wang Yuan in the tone of a king at this time. Yuan tried every means to rescue and fight the disaster.However, he is a citizen now, and you can only talk to him in a negotiating tone.

"Your Majesty, is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king, is it the subject of the king!" Wang Yuan didn't dare to get up. From a small point of view, it is indeed his own territory, but he is the emperor, and he wants to become his territory. It's just an instant thing.

Jiao Niang didn't care so much, and stood up directly from behind Wang Yuan.It's cold on the ground, and it's uncomfortable to kneel on.It was a little embarrassing to see that Wang Yuan didn't get up, after all, at this time, husbands and wives should follow suit.

"Your Majesty, the women are going to make arrangements for meals!" She came early or late, and came just before the meal time, and Jiao Niang just used this as an excuse to go out.

"Don't be busy, I see that the bowls and chopsticks have been set up in the courtyard, and we can have a meal together!" Since it is a micro-service visit, it is natural to experience the hardships of the people. Regardless of whether Wang Yuan kneels or gets up, he steps past Jiao Niang and walks out first The inner court.

The bowls and chopsticks were indeed set up under the corridor in the yard, and there were a total of twenty tables for the two Zhuangzi.Men, women, old and young were originally preparing to have dinner, but they were disturbed by the sudden visitor from the master's house, so they were inevitably a little cautious.

"Emperor, Uncle Wen, how did this happen!" Wang Yuan came to his senses, and quickly followed up to persuade: "Let the Caomin couple prepare a little wine to cleanse you!" The emperor's meals are very particular. If there is an adverse reaction to what you eat, it will be miserable.

"Make it, make it!" Except for the banquet, Zhao Wen had never had a meal with so many ordinary people. He couldn't help but look forward to it. He wanted to see what these people ate during the famine.

Looking at Zhao Wen who was sitting straight up, Jiaoniang didn't bother to be hypocritical. Officials often see superficial phenomena, which are the appearances of officials below for promotion.Of course, my family is not for promotion, nor is it to please others, but to live a real life.Coincidentally, a pig was slaughtered yesterday evening, and today I ate bone soup stewed with big white radish for lunch.If Jiao Niang guessed correctly, Zhao Wen should be able to eat two bowls too.After all, I'm tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, so it's time for a change.

"Let's eat, let's eat. After eating, everyone will do their own thing. Don't be lazy!" Jiaoniang saw Zhao Wen sat down, and Gan Mao and a few guards stood behind him, her heart shrugged. Emperor Tu, the rules haven't changed at all.She greeted the household guards to have dinner, and then returned to the main table.

"You guys have been eating this these days?" Zhao Wen was really thirsty, tired and a little hungry. He was about to drink soup as soon as it was on the table, but Gan Mao carefully brought it over to try it. He glared at Gan Mao twice. In a blink of an eye, the guy had to obediently hold it with both hands.Zhao Wen felt much more at ease after drinking a bowl, so he drank another small bowl.Didn't you say that you can't eat enough?There is also meat and bone soup in this village, and it is very delicious, and there is also white rice. This is not a disaster year, it is better than ordinary people's Chinese New Year!He raised his head and asked the people standing around him watching him drink soup.

"Re,,, oh, it's like this, Uncle Wen doesn't know something!" Wang Yuan didn't know how to sign the emperor back, and wanted to subdue it, but the aura of superiority overwhelmed everyone in fear.Even if this is the case for my husband and wife, Mother Zheng, Zha Jianhui and others who have seen his true face in the village have their own thoughts and are cautious: "Since the disaster broke out, the grasslanders are afraid that it will become more and more serious. It is arranged to be used, this pig is also raised by the farmer, and it will be converted into silver and returned to him after the disaster is over. The work needs to be done by the big guys, and the food must not be bad, or else there will be no strength to work!"

"Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books!" Zhao Wen nodded, how can you sweep the world without sweeping a house, and the affairs in this village can be summed up: "Wang Yuan, you are not a good prime minister, it is the emperor's loss. !"

"Emperor, Uncle Wen!" Wang Yuan was almost choked to death: "Uncle Wen, I have a lot of civil servants and martial arts talents in the Ning Dynasty, and the grassroots are not worth mentioning!" Come, and I have become his prime minister in the mountains?
　Happy holidays, folks!
