Chapter nine hundred and fourteenth hard work
Luo Zhaoyun returned to the palace and immediately sent someone to communicate with him, summoned the commander of Yan Lang Pavilion and Qingying Guard, and asked the two to pay attention to the trend of Hu merchants purchasing grain in the market in Chang'an, whether they were buying grain for grassland tribes, enemy countries in the Western Regions, or maliciously wanted to empty the grain reserves in Chang'an City.
Once a besieged city appears and the Turks attack, the food prices in the city will definitely soar, so you must be careful.
After arranging this incident, Luo Zhaoyun began to rethink the issues of farming and private fields. The yield per mu is indeed very low now. Because in this era, there were no hybrid rice, high-yield seeds, etc., plus fertilizers, pesticides and other effects, the yield per mu is several times less than in later generations, or even ten times less.
There is also a system of land, which restricts the annexation of land by the nobles. Otherwise, when the land gradually gathers with the landlords and the nobles, and when the people have no land, taxes will decrease, the country's fiscal deficit, and the lives and deaths of the people are dependent on the hands of the nobles. Once there is a disaster year, there will definitely be many peasant uprisings, and it will be difficult for the court to not perish.
"Some agricultural and forestry talents are needed to study seeds, insect removal, farming, transplantation techniques, etc. The ancient scholars only care about making beautiful articles, poems, songs, and essays. They are not pragmatic enough, lack hands-on ability, and are full of empty words. Except for a few civil servants, most of them are not capable enough in their positions."
When Luo Zhaoyun thought of this, he decided to establish an agricultural and forestry school and medical school based on the Taixue Academy to develop this highly professional category separately.
Establish local agricultural and forestry officials, Gongcao, etc., so that scholars can apply what they have learned, and be a small official and a minor official can support the farming area. Only in this way can the subtle influence be effective.
Only from the perspective of the court, truly attach importance to agriculture rather than shouting slogans, take the people seriously, and the nobles in their hearts still regard the people as untouchables, making it difficult for the country to truly prosper.
"Empty talk will ruin the country, and hard work will make the country prosperous!" Luo Zhaoyun wrote these eight big words on his desk, and asked the eunuchs from the Silijian to frame them. They should be placed in the Qinzheng Hall when they turn around, so that all officials can see them at all times and keep them in mind.
As for the implementation of the establishment of the Agricultural and Forestry College and the land system, Luo Zhaoyun sent someone to the Political Affairs Hall, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Revenue, and told them to do it. He would check the progress regularly so that several ministers would not slackew.
After talking about state affairs, several ministers left the imperial study room, and Luo Zhaoyun received surveillance information brought back by the Great Eunuch.
"Report to Your Majesty, the girl in purple in the Hu Shang Horse Team has been confirmed. She is indeed from Tuyuhun, the princess of Tuyuhun, Murong Ziyan!"
"It's really her?" Luo Zhaoyun felt strange. Why did this woman come to Chang'an City? Did something happen to Tuyuhun?
"I know, bring more people and continue to pay attention. In addition, protect its safety!"
"As for order!" The guard captain bowed and turned around and left.
Luo Zhaoyun pondered and walked away from the imperial study room, and came to the bedroom in the harem.
Xue Zhiqing and Xiao Yiyi were listening to piano music in the stone pavilion of the palace garden. The abdomen were bulging and they were about to give birth in two months.
When the two women saw Her Majesty coming, they stood up and bowed slightly. Luo Zhaoyun stopped him and said with a smile: "The two beloved concubines have a physical condition, so there is no need to be too polite."
"Your Majesty has finished his political affairs."
"Well, today's review is over, let's spend time with you." Luo Zhaoyun smiled kindly. After sitting down, he glanced at Yang Caiyu, who was also pregnant, and asked, "Where is Queen Yang?"
"The queen's biological mother and elder sister are here and are visiting her bedroom."
"Oh, it turns out that it's someone from my mother's family." Luo Zhaoyun smiled. Thinking that he hadn't seen Yang Caiyu, Empress Xiao, and his sister-in-law Princess Nanyang, he should have gone over to say hello and visit Caiyu by the way.
"I'll go and visit Queen Yang and the distinguished guests."
"Your Majesty, please give me." Xue Zhiqing and Xiao Yiyi did not comment, and also felt that Yu Li should be like this.
Luo Zhaoyun stood up, kissed each of the two concubines on the pretty faces, and came to Queen Yang's bedroom.
When Dahua was first established, in order to take care of Caiyu's feelings, make some compensation, and win the support of old ministers and scholars of the Sui Dynasty, two queens were set up, the Eastern Empress Changsun Wurong and the Western Empress Yang Caiyu. The former was truly real power and had jurisdiction over 70% of the important departments in the palace. Yang Caiyu was responsible for 30% of the departments, with much less power, and even if he gave birth to a prince, he could not inherit the throne. This queen was more of a false title.
"Your Majesty is here-"
Empress Yang, Xiao, and Princess Nanyang in the hall were talking and chatting about family matters. When they heard His Majesty arrive, they all stood up to greet him.
When Luo Zhaoyun stepped in, he saw the beautiful three girls, elegant and elegant, just like three sisters. Even though Xiao was in his forties and nearly fifty years old, he was well maintained and looked like he was thirty-seven or eight years old, with a plump figure, fat buttocks and waist, but he still had the charm of a half-old Xu girl.
Princess Nanyang is also a beauty selected from all over the world. She is well-educated, very talented, gentle and graceful, has a long figure, slender shoulders and arms, and is as moist as water. She has a fallen horse bun with black hair and is wearing a plain long skirt. The delicate peaks and valleys on her chest are faintly visible from the wrinkles on her chest, and her pearls are round and jade, as seductive as ripe peaches.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and my impression is a little blurry. When I met today, my eyes lit up. Luo Zhaoyun said, "No need to be polite, please sit down!"
While talking, Luo Zhaoyun stepped forward to support the pregnant Yang Caiyu, walked back to Jindun to sit down, with a tender face. This scene of a man with affection and concubine made Xiao and Princess Nanyang smile on her face. She felt relieved and happy that Caiyu could have such a considerate husband.
"Queen, how are you feeling today? Are you still comfortable?"
"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine." Yang Caiyu is born with beauty. She fell in love with Luo Zhaoyun since she was a girl. Now she has the crystallization of love and can still be with her day and night. This sense of happiness comes from the heart.
"Well, when I am in the palace, I will often visit you. Whatever I want to eat, even if I let the imperial kitchen cook for you."
"Hehe, I understand, Your Majesty." Yang Caiyu felt very proud and full of happiness because of her husband's concern, and in front of her mother and sister.
At this time, Luo Zhaoyun's eyes met Xiao, and he smiled and said, "I haven't seen Mrs. Xiao for a long time."
Xiao was no longer the queen, and it was not appropriate to call Queen Xiao. At that time, Luo Zhaoyun planned to give her the title of Queen Mother, but Xiao was unwilling to be related to the palace anymore. He saw through the glory and wealth, the temple was ups and downs, and the dynasty was in full swing, so he was willing to be an ordinary woman. Later, Luo Zhaoyun had to grant the title of Lady of China.
Facing Luo Zhaoyun's gaze, Xiao seemed to think of the beautiful misunderstanding that night again. He almost parted with his tossing. His cheeks were slightly red. He tried to calm down on the surface and nodded slightly, "The Ai family wants to congratulate His Majesty for pacifying Hebei, destroying Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other enemies, and return triumphantly."
