The first thousand two hundred and nineteenth chapter is now (3)

"The emperor is here, and all officials welcome you!"

Accompanied by the ceremonial tribute from the ceremonial singer, the originally bustling Xuanshi Hall immediately became quiet.

All civil and military officials returned to their posts. Then, the civil officials, led by Prime Minister Liu Qumao and the military officials, were divided into two groups under the leadership of General Yang, Zhang Yi, and visited: "I welcome my emperor, and my emperor will live forever!"

Amid the welcome from the ministers, the Han emperor's chariot slowly carried in from the side hall on the east side.

Then, Zhao Chongguo, the commander of the Fengche, and Jin Sang, the son-in-law of the Duwei, led the guards nearby, surrounded the emperor and ascended to the imperial throne.

"I am safe, please forgive me, please sit down!" The emperor spoke slowly.

So the ministers stood up and returned to their own positions.

As the leader of the military general, Zhang Yue sat on the left.

Opposite him was Prime Minister Liu Qumao, with his right hand holding Jinwu Huo Guang and his left hand holding General Li Guangli. Behind him, General Yingyang, who followed him back to the court, sat down right in front of him.

In addition, there are dozens of Yingyang court officials recognized by the outside world.

Including the Minister of Ministers including Gongsun Yi, Jingzhao Yin Yu Jiyan, Sima Xuan, the Duke of the Dianguo, Zhao Guo, and other two thousand stone ministers.

The glory and strength of the Eagle Range are eye-catching.

but……

"Soon, the eagle-sport system that is at its peak may collapse!" Some ministers thought with a smile in their hearts.

Two years ago, the rapid collapse of the Ershi Division was still in front of us.

Now that the collapse of the Yingyang clan is, I am afraid that it will be "the demise suddenly."

But some people also gave in.

Yesterday afternoon, Yingyang cavalry entered the city, and the controversy was everywhere, and everyone in the city knew it.

Although, it seemed that after the Yingyang cavalry entered the city, they just captured a Meng family.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning.

As long as it starts, it will probably be difficult to be good!

"Well..." The censor, Bao Shengzhi, sat in his seat, glanced at the hall, and suddenly frowned: "Where is Yang Zhongcheng?"

The Censor Zhongcheng, named Yu Dafu, is not only a representative who takes charge of the Censorate on behalf of the Censorate, but also a spare tire for the Censor, and an official responsible for supervising the etiquette of the court meeting.

Therefore, Yang Chang's absence made Bao Shengzhi's brow tight.

Not worried, but happy!

Yang Chang was the vanguard of Huo Guang's efforts to force him into the Censorate and fight for power and profit with him.

Usually, for Huo Guang's sake, Bao Shengzhi can turn a blind eye.

But, as long as you have the chance to catch the braid, you won’t be polite.

"Duke Bao..." Shangshu Ling Zhang Anshi stood on the imperial stairs and replied: "When Yang Zhongcheng was accompanying him today, he suddenly became ill. Your Majesty ordered the imperial physician to come and see him. Today, the court meeting, please ask Duke Bao to choose someone from the Censorate to replace him!"

When Bao Shengzhi heard this, he immediately laughed: "So that's it! Yang Zhongcheng is indeed diligent... I blame me for giving Zhongcheng too many chores on weekdays... In the future, I should reduce Yang Zhongcheng's government affairs as appropriate..."

But opposite Zhu Shengzhi, Huo Guang felt his cheeks twitching, and his heart was so uncomfortable.

However, a smile that was even worse than crying could only be squeezed out on his face, and he looked at his ministers with silence.

Only Zhang Anshi, looking at Baoshengzhi and Huo Guang, sighed happily inside.

Then, he quietly glanced at the emperor on the throne, and then quickly lowered his head.

I'm afraid no one knows this hall until now. There was an important official in the Han family this morning who had "worked in government affairs and became ill and unfortunately died suddenly."

The emperor's edict of the emperor had already been written. At this moment, he was in his sleeve. After the court was dispersed, he was sent to the Censorate from Lantai, and at the same time told the court officials that the Han family had a great loyal minister!

This loyal minister was loyal until his death and was still serving the emperor!

All the ministers should learn from Yang Chang's spirit of devoted themselves to the emperor and Liu's spirit!

In short, Yang Chang would be portrayed as a model of Han officials.

The emperor's actions were like his sudden death from Yang Chang, which made Zhang Anshi unpredictable.

It can only be attributed to the "Heaven's heart is like a knife" and "Accompanying the king is like a tiger".

What’s ridiculous is that Bao Shengzhi and Huo Guang are still fighting each other.

I don't know that the disaster is coming!

Because, when the son does not kill someone today, he will be completely disappointed with someone or a faction!

But the minister disappointed the king, and there was only one fate - death!

I was thinking about this in my mind.

The prince Liu Ju and the grandson Liu Jin led the kings who came to Chang'an and entered one after another from the Xuanshi Hall.

"My son asks my father for yourselves..." The prince stepped forward and kowtowed.

"Sun Chengong asked my grandfather for his safety..." The grandson immediately followed.

"I am paying homage to Your Majesty, my emperor will live forever..." So the kings kowtowed one after another.

"No gift!" The emperor waved: "Come, I will give you a seat to the crown prince, grandson and all the royal princes and princes!"

So, the Shangshu Lang stepped forward and led the bloodlines of the Tian family to an area specially opened for them.

Then, the morning morning of August in the fourth year of Yanhe began like this.

First, the Prime Minister's Office, the Shao Mansion and the Grand Minister's Farmers jointly reported to the emperor the spring farming situation in the world this year, the water conservancy facilities of the counties and states, and the upcoming autumn harvest budget.

Since the drought in the summer of Yanhe year, the Han Dynasty has had good weather for three consecutive years, and no large-scale natural disasters have occurred.

There are only some occasional floods, droughts and locust plagues that affect at most a county.

If it were in the past, even for disasters of this scale, the Han family would be busy and even exhausted.

But now, such a disaster is nothing more than a small turmoil in the Han Empire.

There is no need for the emperor to issue an edict himself, nor does it require the Prime Minister’s Office, the Young Mansion, and the Grand Secretary’s Office to take the lead in summarizing and handling the Governor’s Office.

Local prefectures and counties are already able to provide disaster relief.

At most, the court will reduce taxes and labor service in the affected areas, and then transfer some food to provide relief to the victims.

This is because Guanzhong has implemented food self-sufficiency last year.

One of the wheat and millet seeds in Xinfeng is one of them.

But the main thing is the various new agricultural tools and farming techniques promoted and popularized by Zhao Guo, the commander of the Su Dushi, as well as the background of the current local governments in Guanzhong who are generally learning Xinfeng and overhauling water conservancy.

Curved plows, ferry trucks, water trucks, plus complete repair channels, as well as farming techniques such as field generation methods and compost methods.

This has enabled the yield per mu to double even if the land in Guanzhong is not planted with new seeds from Xinfeng.

Therefore, since last year, Guanzhong has not only been self-sufficient in food.

There is even a surplus of millions of stones to support Kanto River Control.

In the first year of Yanhe, due to the drought, Guanzhong transferred 6 million stones of millet and 5 million stones of wheat from Guandong in the same year and the next year.

In order to transport this grain to Guanzhong, the residents who were entrusted were at least 300,000, and the amount consumed was twice that of this amount.

Nowadays, Guanzhong no longer needs to transfer grain from Guandong.

Not only did it save a lot of money, but it also allowed the Kanto County and the State to surplus a large amount of grain.

More importantly, starting this year, even Hexibian County no longer needs the center to transfer millions of stones of grain from the north every year.

Therefore, even if the matter of Guandong River control is burning money like flowing water.

But the Han Dynasty's finances have a surplus for the first time.

The Grand Secretary’s treasury alone has more than ten million deposits!

After hearing this, the emperor was very happy and the ministers were also happy and encouraged, and they all congratulated each other.

The empire's power is booming, so naturally, as court officials, they have more opportunities and excuses to make extra money.

only……

The only drawback is that most of the power and interests of such a prosperous empire were swallowed up by one person, and then eaten and left only some soup residue to share with others - that Yinghou Yingying General Yang!

Not only that, the output of the workshop, weaving room and Hehuang Manor under the control of General Ying Yang is constantly eroding everyone's past interests.

The continuous stream of wool materials has caused the price of silk in Qilu to drop by 40% within a year.

The cheap ironware is crazily impacting the market share of ironware merchants everywhere.

Last year, 70% of the iron tools in the Luoyang market were produced from Xinfeng’s workshops!

Those damn workshop owners used forging hammers to make cheap farm tools of various colors, and the entire market trembled because of the workshops that produced more than 100,000 pieces per month.

Now, the price of hoes and sickles has fallen below the cost price.

A large number of Kanto workshops and blacksmiths went bankrupt.

Those damn Xinfeng people took the opportunity to fool the bankrupt blacksmiths and workshop workers to Xinfeng.
