Chapter 705 The Queen Mother Weeps
The Great Heat has just passed.
The golden rice in the rice fields has been harvested, and countless grains are neatly spread out on open spaces among the people.
Almost every village has a "sanitary stalk", and every season, the sanitary stalk of each village will be covered with millet. At the same time, many scarecrows are also standing up.
But this still can't stop the greedy bird.
Fortunately, a naughty boy was waiting for the rabbit and pulled the dustpan with a rope. When a bird stole the grains, he pulled the rope and covered the bird inside.
In the past, there were always evil slaves from wealthy families who scolded these children and drove away birds. But this year, there was no one.
This was probably the most active year for the people to farm and harvest in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Because the millet harvested this year is their own, not just doing work for the main households, just like before.
There was constant laughter in the fields.
Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture in various parts of the Song Dynasty chose to go to the public to watch the harvest situation in the territory at this time, and were also overjoyed.
In the end, it is only possible to plant good food with care. This year's harvest, except for Guangnan West Road, which had long been divided into fields, the other roads are much more fruitful than in previous years.
I think that as long as the tax is successfully collected, the imperial grain warehouse will have a surplus grain accumulation this year.
The heads of the Ministry of Agriculture in various places ascended the highest yields of each household and then reported them layer by layer to the county, to the city, to the county city, and finally to the imperial city.
Farming talents from each county were first selected and posted on the list next to the city gate. The farmers who won this honor quickly became famous throughout the county.
Later, the farming powerful people selected by the states became more well-known.
The emperor's decree was quickly issued to all prefectures and counties, and the powerful people from all over the country came to the palace to discuss the experience of farming.
This shocked the farmers who had never even seen a ninth-rank sesame official in their lifetime so much that they could not sleep at night.
In the past, the emperor only said that the leader of the country's farming industry had the opportunity to meet the emperor. Now, I don't know how to change my mind.
All counties arranged elite soldiers to escort these farming talents into the imperial city after they were sown.
The imperial palace in Changsha City.
Eunuch Liu, who was ordered by Yongzhou, rushed back.
As soon as he returned to the imperial city, he hurried towards the imperial study room.
The emperor was not in the imperial study room, so he hurried to the backyard of the emperor's bedroom.
Zhao Dongting was accompanying Zhang Ru for a walk in the yard, and Ying Er was also next to her.
There was another great joy.
Half a year has passed since Zhang Ru became pregnant. Now Ying Er is finally pregnant.
Her menstrual period has not yet arrived, and I have been treated with Physician An. It is accurate to be a happy pulse.
Zhao Dongting went outside the palace with Ying Er to "smell" with him during this period. His painstaking efforts were finally in vain.
Looking at the satisfied smiles on the two women's faces, Zhao Dongting felt warm and was only looking forward to the birth of these two little guys.
It's good for men or women.
As long as he has the ability to give birth, it will be enough to reassure the Chinese civil and military officials of the court and Yang Shufei, so he is not in a hurry to get a prince out.
But Zhao Dongting was also confused at this time, why he could never be pregnant with Ying'er in the palace, but when he went outside the palace, he easily made her pregnant with the baby.
Is there something wrong with the palace?
Zhao Dongting had already asked many imperial doctors such as TaiDi An to see it, but he could not see any clues. Now, he has sent envoys to Hengshan to invite Zhang Tianshi and others.
"emperor."
Eunuch Liu appeared at the gate of the courtyard and slowly fell to his knees.
Zhao Dongting turned his head and looked over, laughing and said, "My father-in-law is exempt from gifts."
Then he let go of Ying'er and Zhang Ru's hands, walked to Eunuch Liu, walked out of the yard, and asked softly: "How will King Guang reply?"
Eunuch Liu followed Zhao Dongting, followed closely and replied: "His Highness Guang said he was ill and would come to the palace to visit the emperor and the queen mother in a while."
Zhao Dongting paused slightly, "What did he do when he received the order?"
Eunuch Liu said: "Your Highness is quite cold to the old slave and there is nothing unusual. He just entrusted the old minister to apologize to the emperor and the queen mother on his behalf."
"oh"
Zhao Dongting responded softly when he heard this, knocked his right hand on his forehead, "I know, my father-in-law is running around, thank you for your hard work, let's go down and rest first!"
Eunuch Liu stopped talking and slowly retreated.
Zhao Dongting walked forward, but eventually arrived outside Yang Shufei's bedroom.
Since Yang Yidong's death, she has eaten vegetarian food and worshipped Buddha, which is easy to see. Standing outside the courtyard, it seems that she can feel the coldness inside.
Zhao Dongting once asked Concubine Yang Shu to move to his bedroom. After all, Ying Er and Zhang Ru Neng Nuan were with him, but she was rejected by Concubine Yang Shu.
There was an eunuch waiting at the door. Seeing Zhao Dongting wearing a dragon robe, he quickly knelt down and saluted.
Zhao Dongting walked towards the yard.
Then a eunuch shouted in his voice: "The emperor is here."
There was an eunuch in the yard and the maid fell to the ground, but there was no sign of Concubine Yang.
