Chapter 1,496 Drought Resistance

Wang Yansou reported that Zhao Zongyou was the king of the clan and the county, and the emperor was a relative, so it was not advisable to venture far into the wind and waves. Although Dongshengzhou was profitable, the products it produced were nothing more than gold, silver, and crops.

Nowadays, the Song Dynasty has already obtained all kinds of crops, but gold and silver are actually useless and should not be favored by the emperor.

What is good at the top must not be good at the bottom. The sailing skills of the people are not as good as those of the imperial fleet, and they will inevitably die one after another.

But it’s a shame that this kind of memorial can resist the temptation of gold and silver.

Gao Taotao stayed in the middle school and explained that the Song Dynasty opened Dongshengzhou not for money, but to test the governance of the three generations and to bring order to the people of Shang, Zhou and Zhou.

Proclaiming benevolence and changing customs, even if the remaining people are thousands of miles away, they are still Chinese people, how can they be ignored?

This reason immediately blocked Tai Jian's mouth. It was so brilliant and upright.

Tai's remonstrance fell silent, and Gao Taotao immediately ordered Long Haisheng to promote the maritime affairs of Dongshengzhou in the first year of Yuanyou, and ordered Zhang San to expand the city and port in Songcheng, Japan. The idea of ​​replacing people in the 21st period was adopted, and the changes were made. Shao Bowen headed east and prepared to sail.

…

In the side hall of Baoci Palace, Gao Taotao was scolding Concubine Zhu De.

After entering the palace, Concubine Zhu De first became a maid of Shenzong, and later gave birth to Zhao Xu, Zhao Si and Princess Xu.

It can be seen that Zhao Xu is quite partial to her.

Concubine Zhu De was gentle and respectful, and she always treated Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress, and Shenzong with the utmost respect.

Shenzong's coffin went to Yongyu Mausoleum and was escorted by Concubine Zhu Def. When passing through Yong'an, Han Jiang, the Minister of Henan Province at that time, went to greet him in person.

The procession to send the coffin was very long, with Concubine Zhu Def walking behind, and Han Jiang also included Concubine Zhu De in the welcoming procession.

After Concubine Zhu De returned to the palace, Empress Dowager Gao asked about Shenzong's funeral, and Concubine Zhu De told Gao Taotao what she had seen along the way.

Everything was fine at first, but when it came to Han Jiang being courteous and humble in welcoming her, Gao Taotao suddenly changed his expression: "Han Jiang is a minister of the previous dynasty, how can you accept his great gift?"

Concubine Zhu De was frightened and quickly apologized to Gao Taotao with tears in her eyes.

The next day, Zhongshu Sheren Xishu sent him to Suizhou with his official authority.

As Xi Shu, Su You can understand that at any time, there are people who want to get more of the cake.

There were also many opinions in the court on how to treat Concubine Zhu Def.

Some people wanted to take the opportunity to flatter Empress Dowager Gao and suppress the rank of the emperor's biological mother in order to highlight the curtain-draping Empress Dowager.

Some people thought that Zhe Zong would eventually be in power in the future, and advocated respecting Princess Zhu to show the emperor's filial piety.

However, Cai Que, Xingshu and others sought refuge with political forces in order to protect themselves.

So Xing Shu came up with an idea for Gao Gonghui and told Gao Gonghui to write a letter begging for the honor of Princess Zhu, so as to bring good fortune to the Gao family in the future.

Gao Taotao is very politically sensitive. In the hierarchy of the harem arranged by her, the order of precedence is herself, Empress Xiang, and Concubine Zhu De.

Using the fact that Zhao Xu's biological mother is used to elevate the status of Concubine Zhu Def will undoubtedly change the existing harem structure, and then affect the structure of the outer dynasty.

So Gao Taotao called Gao Gonghui in and asked: "With your literary talent, you can't write such a thing. To be honest, who wrote this book for you?"

Gao Gonghui was dumbfounded. He thought this was a good thing that everyone would be happy with. Unexpectedly, Gao Taotao was so angry that he did not dare to hide it and confessed to Xing Shu.

The Yushitai has been looking for opportunities to impeach Xing Shu, but they are all trivial. Now Xing Shu can't get away with the crime of "traveling among powerful people without self-examination; having ulterior motives and taking chances".

As a result, a Zhongshusheren who had already obtained the title was "retired from his new life and deposed from the outside world."

Gao Taotao's move was obviously meant to frighten the people who wanted to speculate on Concubine Zhu De.

And Xing Shu was not just a Xing Shu, but also represented a faction that was beginning to be liquidated and expelled. The censors thought that the opportunity to make meritorious deeds had come, and immediately began to write chapters.

On the day of Jiachen, Wang Yansou wrote: "There has been no snow since winter, and now it is spring. Drought and marauding have caused disasters, and the changes have been great. Your Majesty has caused great harm to the world, and is a great traitor to the court. He has realized it and then doubted it again, and it has been cut off and stopped. .”

"There is no greater harm than green shoots. They are exempted from military service and the people are living in poverty. There is also the method of tea and salt, which can spread poison in many ways."

"There is no greater traitor than Cai Que's evil deeds and Zhang Dun's slander and cruelty. Your Majesty tolerated him and let him stay. This is why Heaven's heart did not bless him."

Zhu Guangting also reported: "Cha Chu, Zhang Dun and Han Zhen are disrespectful, disloyal and shameless.

When discussing political affairs, Dun blatantly makes arguments and tries his best to slander.

If it is true, the external expression is not correct, but the internal reality is the same desire. Yang is to respect the virtuous, and yin is to support the evil.

Zhen, whenever there is discussion, does not correct things, but just keeps silent for his own safety.

I am willing to give up and wait for the appointment, and do not recruit loyal and worthy people to assist the holy rule."

Su You immediately wrote a letter to object: "The censor must seek fairness in his performance.

As Guangting said, there is no room for those who hold different opinions.

Those who speak are also guilty, those who remain silent are also guilty, and those who remain contentedly without speaking or remaining silent are also guilty. It is a matter of deep thought.

Could it be that Cai Que's six proposals were abolished and implemented instead?"

"The imperial censor's impeachment must be regarded as a traitor against the law, and public opinion will not tolerate it.

Since disasters are caused, it is especially necessary to supervise those who are ineffective in fighting disasters and are slow in civil affairs."

"Now that the drought is getting worse, what I am talking about must be: Has Your Majesty's virtue not reached the heavens? The breadth of his deeds has not reached the earth? The great ones in politics have not been promoted, while the small ones have nothing to do with them? The punishments have been far away. Or will those who get too close be spared?"

"A gentleman has not used it, but a villain has not used it? A minister has neglected his duty, and a lowly person has stolen it?"

"Words of sincerity and forgiveness are rarely heard, but flatterers are widely praised? Virtue and righteousness are not yet established, but those who have stolen and defiled are exploited? People are bribed, but the favor is not punished? The person who is responsible may be identified, but the counter-obedience has not been paid?"

"The husband must say that there are a certain number of people, and then he can cause disasters and cause strange things."

"And I can also say that the peace between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was gradually lost, and disputes were gradually arising."

"There are many discussions, but what good is it for the drought? Sitting down and discussing the truth is not as good as a ladle."

Su You's memorial was written very clearly, and he directly listed the usual tricks used by Yushitai in case of disasters in advance. It means that if I were to replace such clichés, I can guarantee that it will be more comprehensive and complete than what you said.

Before the drought, please do something serious!

Gao Taotao or Liu Zhong, neither of them will report it.

In Ding Wei, Huang Lian, the manager of Jixian School, was appointed as the doctor of the household department.

Huang Lian is an old friend of Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, and a former admonisher from Laotai. He previously handled cases such as Wu Juhou's, and made decisions impartially, without excessively expanding the scope of the attack. He only used evidence to speak for himself, and his merits were clear.

Although Su You was not satisfied with the result of the handling, at least the process was done with correct procedures. Su You felt that this man was someone who at least understood "organizational discipline" among the conservatives, so he recommended him to return to the Yushitai.

However, the censor's desk was full. Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhi agreed to Su You's recommendation and gave it to Huang on the grounds that he had promoted Baojia on Hedong Road for six years. Lian was promoted, but lost the household department.

Ji You, the imperial edict was given to the king of Goryeo, with a saddle and horse, uniforms, belts, utensils and coins.

In view of the fact that Hexi and the Qing and Tang Dynasties had been pacified, Shaanxi and Hedong were added after the fourth year of Yuanfeng due to military problems.

On Guichou, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager went to Zhongtaiyi Palace to watch the celebration and pray for rain.

The greatest blessing in farming countries is good weather and good weather. In "Song Huiyao", a complete set of norms and rituals for begging for rain are specially recorded, and there are also levels from the national to the local level.

However, this year's drought actually did not have much impact.

The censor asked for confirmation due to natural changes. An important reason why Zhang Dun and Han Zhen's attempts to remove their positions were easily sniped by Su You was that the consequences of the drought were not serious.

Among them, the contribution of the pot camel machine and the well is very important.

Su You also accompanied the Empress Dowager in her chariot. On the way back from the north of the city, the Empress Dowager made a special detour to Luokou Canal to watch the working method of the hydraulic equipment of the pot camel machine.

The power of the pot camel machine is also increasing crazily. A pot camel machine can drive a high shelf, which is called "Tianshu".

The Tianshu frame is actually a power connection device, which can also drive five spiral tube water pumping machines in Luokou Canal to draw water.

The reason why a drought is a drought is because water cannot reach the ground. It does not mean that there is really no water.

Kaifeng Mansion guards a Yellow River and a Luobian Canal, so there is still water.

However, the amount of canal water this year is obviously not as good as in previous years. In order to maintain the production of more than 100,000 hectares of cultivated land in the north of Kaifeng Prefecture, it is necessary to ensure the supply of canal water.

Suyou's approach has always been to turn disadvantages into advantages as much as possible, and took this opportunity to vigorously promote pot machines, machine wells, and drought-resistant crops.

However, corn and potatoes were not popularized all at once, so the roads in Beijing and Zhou Dynasty were still dominated by Laishan No. 1, and corn and potatoes were mostly grown on the slopes and barren fields of Guantian.

Since Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister, Sinong Temple has ceased to be a department that formulates national reform policies and has returned to its normal position as the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Farmland Planning Administration of the Song Dynasty. Officials from Sinong Temple rarely see senior state officials again.

After Yuanfeng's restructuring, Sinong Temple was placed under the management of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
