For any Central Plains dynasty, the importance of farming needs no elaboration, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the foundation of the country. Liu Xian naturally understands this truth.

Among the various ministries and yamen in Daliang, the Household Department, in addition to distributing money and food from all over the world, also has a very important responsibility, which is to persuade farmers to resume farming.

It's a pity that apart from these four words, there is nothing good to say.

How to develop agriculture is a profound and grand subject. Pei Yue's knowledge and experience are not enough to easily deal with such a complex proposition, but his experience in two lives has made him very good at summarizing and thinking.

In other words, he was able to learn from the experience and lessons of his predecessors, and then subdivided this proposition into many aspects.

For example, the construction of water conservancy projects, breeding and fertilization, deep plowing and rotation, adapting measures to local conditions, and the household system, which is extremely important for promoting population growth, etc.

When it comes to specific operation methods, Pei Yue is not omniscient and omnipotent, and only has a superficial understanding of some areas. But this matter is not impossible to solve, because he now has a high enough status and power to give full play to everyone's intelligence.

Perhaps the old farmers in the fields somewhere can speak clearly about this, but for thousands of years, the imperial court has not formed rules and regulations, and the entire society is still in a very rough state of free-range development in the agricultural field, which naturally cannot effectively promote

Productivity improvement.

Therefore, the key to the problem is to point out the direction, establish a framework, and develop a systematic strategy. This is exactly what Pei Yue is best at.

After talking in detail with Pei Yue for more than half an hour, Liu Xian suddenly became enlightened and could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the side hall, sighing: "After listening to your words, I understand the subtleties of this Nongsang Prison. Come, summon the Dukes of Dongfu, the six ministers and the imperial censor to the palace to discuss matters."

Pei Yue secretly sighed in his heart, Liu Xian was not as good as Emperor Kaiping in many aspects, but he was indeed a very smart emperor, especially after his enlightenment in the past few years, his perspective on problems became more sophisticated.

Compared with his attitude towards the imperial medical office, Liu Xian showed the decisiveness and courage that a future emperor must have in setting up the Nongsang Prison, and he also realized that Pei Yue's advice was the key to whether Daliang could completely

The key to getting rid of Xiwu and Southern Zhou.

Just three days later, on the sixth day of August in the seventh year of Kaiping, an imperial edict was issued with the support of all the important ministers of the two governments and senior officials in Yizi, announcing the establishment of two new yamen, Nongsang Supervisor and Imperial Medical Clinic in Daliang Chaotang.

At Pei Yue's suggestion, the first young eunuch of Nongsang Prison was promoted to the third rank, and Han Gongduan, who participated in the political affairs of Dongfu, was temporarily appointed concurrently.

…

There was a lot of commotion in the court, and almost all the ministers were discussing the two new yamen.

As the status of Shitan Temple became more and more important, the status of officials including Jian Rong increased. After learning that the new Yamen was conceived by Pei Yue, many people racked their brains to try to establish relations with Duke Wei.

I look forward to being transferred to the position of Nongsang Supervisor.

It's just that they all got a rejection because Pei Yue was not in the house at all.

Yongrenfang, Shen Zhai.

When Pei Yue walked into the inner study, the thin figure was sorting out the remaining ancient books next to the bookshelf.

"Please wait a moment." Shen Danmo said without looking back, as if he could tell the person's identity from the sound of footsteps.

Pei Yue listened carefully and felt relieved after making sure that her mood was still normal.

Shen Danmo returned to Kyoto half a month ago and buried Shen Moyun a few days later.

Because Silent Cloud was charged with regicide, she could not hold a formal and grand funeral for her father. She could only keep vigil for seven days to fulfill her filial piety. Not only that, she could not continue to live in this mansion. Fortunately, the Shen family Having accumulated a lot of money over the years, Shen Danmo refused Pei Yue's help and bought a house in Ruikangfang, Xicheng, and would move there in a few days.

After a while, Shen Danmo put down the scroll in his hand, turned around and looked at Pei Yue, who was standing quietly in front of the window, with a hint of wistfulness in his eyes, and said quietly: "Can you accompany me for a walk in the house?"

Pei Yue nodded seriously and said, "Okay."

The Shen residence has a vast area and exquisite architecture, and the scenery is as beautiful as the Weiguo Palace.

The two walked side by side, walking along the tree-lined path, passing through the rockery and bamboo forest, and came to the Fengting Waterside Pavilion in the southeast corner.

The whole journey was silent.

Shen Danmo went to the railing and stood there, looking at the ripples on the clear water, and whispered: "Does Ye Qi know that you are here?"

Pei Yue responded: "I know."

Shen Danmo sighed and said: "I thought you would say that the innocence between you and me is so open and honest, and we can tell others everything."

Pei Yue remained silent.

The woman next to him had expressed his feelings long before Qishui, but he and she both knew very well that many people and many things in this world were destined to have no fate.

Shen Danmo felt a little bored, turned to look at him and said, "Now that I have become the Duke of the country, I am even more unhappy."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Why do you say this?"

Shen Danmo blinked and said, "You really don't understand?"

Pei Yue did not answer, but changed the subject and asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

The breeze blew by, Shen Danmo raised his hand to straighten the black hair around his ears, and said calmly: "Stay in Kyoto and see how you change the world. Don't rush to deny it. When you didn't go to the Western Region, I repeated I have studied your every move, word and deed. During that time in Chengjing City, Mr. Xi also told me the story of Xiangyun. Therefore, I am definitely not as good as Ye Qi in terms of closeness and distance, but when it comes to your relationship alone In terms of understanding, I may not be inferior to her."

Pei Yue sighed softly and said leisurely: "I have a question that has been hidden in my heart for a long time."

Shen Danmo said softly: "I don't understand why Ye Qi and I don't like each other? They say that Duke Wei is wise and has great plans. It turns out there is a reason that you can't figure out. However, this is between our daughter's family. It would be better for the Duke of the State not to understand my private affairs."

Pei Yue said: "I just think that you are all excellent and intelligent people. There is no need to fight each other every time we meet."

Shen Danmo thought for a moment and nodded: "It makes sense. Actually, you don't have to worry, after all, I shouldn't see Ye Qi again in the future."

Pei Yue looked at her slightly surprised.

Of course, he would not stupidly think that Shen Danmo was afraid of avoiding Ye Qi, but he could hear some deep meaning in these words.

Shen Danmo continued: "You seem to have forgotten one thing."

Pei Yue looked at her puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Danmo said slowly: "Now I am no longer the daughter of Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion, nor am I the daughter of this Shen mansion, so... if it wasn't for your sake, how could Liu Xian swallow it?" That tone. Even if it was just to build his own golden body of filial piety, he would kill all the Shen family members."

Pei Yue said solemnly: "That's not the case."

Shen Danmo turned around and suddenly took a step forward.

With Pei Yue's current martial arts training, he had many ways to avoid it tactfully and gracefully at this moment, but when he saw the other person's eyes with a bit of anxiety, he thought of her mourning in front of Shen Moyun's body that day. He looked like he couldn't stop crying, so he couldn't help but sigh and didn't make any reaction.

Shen Danmo came close to his body, buried her head on his shoulders, and hugged his back with her hands.

She said softly: "It turns out we have known each other for many years."

Pei Yue said: "Nearly five years."

"I have dreamed of you many times in the past five years."

"Sometimes when I wake up from a dream, I can only hear the sound of the night watch, but you are not around."

"So I sat alone until dawn. I couldn't fall asleep slowly until I saw the faint light in the sky."

"When you were in Lingzhou, you wrote a poem about lotus. There is one line in it that I really like. Do you know which line it is?"

Listening to her voice that sounded like she was murmuring in sleep, Pei Yue raised his hands and put his arms around her thin shoulders, hugging her into his arms.

Shen Danmo's heart suddenly trembled, and then he calmed down.

She hugged Pei Yue tighter and murmured to herself, "So you know everything."

She often recited that sentence and never forgot it.

…

The flowers are floating and the water is flowing. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow.

There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I only lower my brows, but it is in my heart.
