Chen Xi and others did not want to know much about what happened in Weiyang Palace. Even if Guo Zhao was received by Liu Tong, for Chen Xi, it was just a situation and not a big deal. Liu Tong's behavior was
It was quite interesting at the time.
"Did anything happen in Shanglinyuan before?" After Chen Xi returned home, Chen Lan felt much relieved when she saw the intact Chen Xi. After all, Chen Lan could see the mushroom cloud clearly.
"Well, there was a slight problem when the Ji family's summoning ceremony encountered a group of unlucky children. Fortunately, we were fully prepared and nothing happened." Chen Xi scratched his head and said with a dry smile, "So don't worry, it's just a small accident.
That’s all.”
Chen Lan felt a little helpless after hearing this. Can such a big movement be called a small accident? But it's fine that Chen Xi is fine. As long as he comes back intact, Chen Lan will always believe Chen Xi's excuses.
"The court meeting is tomorrow. Even though this year has been extended for so long, it ended quickly." Chen Xi said with some regret. After turning twenty, he really felt that his time passed too fast.
Quick, it's gone in a flash.
"This is the husband's business." Chen Lan said with a smile, "But I think these businessmen have already made plans."
Chen Xi smiled when he heard this and said nothing. His wife, Chen Lan, is always the calmest and calmest. "Okay, don't worry, there won't be any big problems."
The accident at Shanglinyuan also reminded all the major aristocratic families that if you mess around less, you can really live longer, but if you don't mess around, it won't be a family. So after coming out of Shanglinyuan, the major aristocratic families took the initiative to communicate, even if
At first I really thought that the earth giant was a summoned object, but now I probably know it for sure.
At most, it's the final product of research by most aristocratic families who don't know who the earth giant is, but it's not important. Yesterday, I went to Shanglin Garden and we just communicated together. Everyone has the basics, so we all know how to compare and contrast.
Therefore, the last group of interested heads of the aristocratic families opened a large private room in the Mijia Restaurant to exchange their own research with each other, which can be regarded as a harmonious coexistence. Even if there will inevitably be some situations of mutual restraint due to different research directions, both parties will also
There was no fight, just silently blacklisting the other party.
Don't think that I don't know that you are doing this to deal with us, and we won't pretend anymore. This technology is not prepared for foreign enemies, but for you. Please pick it up!
In short, under the surface of harmony, there are cliques and behaviors that undermine each other. From a certain perspective, this is the essence of the major families. For them, unity may be an elusive goal from the beginning.
vocabulary.
In the Yong family's house, I woke up in a daze and looked at the grandfather clock. OK, it's time to eat again. After eating, I came back to read a book and then I could continue to rest. However, before Yong Kai got out of bed, he
I smelled a fresh fragrance.
"What's the smell? Is there anyone who can cook at home?" Yong Kai scratched his head. He was not bragging. In order to prevent other people from coming to his home, his home did not have cooks, dancers, maids and other entertaining staff at all, only escorts.
Why is there the smell of vegetables in the house at this time? This is not a good thing. I have to go and see what's going on.
In the side hall of the Yong family, a group of family leaders who did not like to socialize were silent and silent. They brought their own materials and cooked the things in the pot themselves. There was not much communication during the whole process, but at the scene
The atmosphere was not dull at all. Everyone was far away from others, but they all seemed very comfortable.
Yong Kai looked at the large portion of hot pot that was being cooked in the side hall of his house, found a bowl and went in. Anyway, everything he cooked at his own house had his own share. Although the people around him were not very familiar with it, there was an inexplicable feeling about it.
It's a fellow-townsman atmosphere, you can sit in casually, there isn't much communication, but it's very harmonious.
The next day, before dawn, Fan Jian woke Chen Xi up and changed Chen Xi into court clothes. This was different from the previous days when the imperial court would go to Weiyang Palace in advance to send pheasants and the like, causing chaos in Weiyang Palace. From the first year of Yuanfeng's reform,
After that, it became much simpler.
New Year's gifts can be transferred to Liu Tong in the form of gift notes in advance, thus saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"I feel like your husband looks more imposing in court clothes than in ordinary clothes." Fan Jian helped Chen Xi straighten his front. After smoothing it, he took a few steps back, looked at Chen Xi and said with a smile.
"Because I don't have much to wear, and court uniforms are inherently dignified. In fact, military uniforms are even more dignified." Chen Xi said with a smile, "We can come to Weiyang Palace for dinner in the evening."
Originally, at the great court meeting at the beginning of the year, the emperor met with all the officials, and the queen or the queen mother met with the ladies of the lords. However, the current situation was not reliable. If Si Niang was asked to meet the ladies of the lords, it would most likely be messed up. Isn’t this sending a young lady too often?
The matter could be solved by Qing's help, so Mrs. Zhu Qing was finally received by Liu Tong. It can be said that this is Liu Tong's busiest time of the year.
During the day, he met with civil and military officials to discuss major events for the coming year. In the evening, he also met with the wives of various ministers, saying that you should take good care of the inner house and provide a better living environment for the people of each family and outside the court. Then he asked each family whether
Are there any needs or something like that?
In short, Liu Tong was busy from dawn to the moonlight on this day, but there was no way, there was no queen in the harem, and there was no queen mother. To be precise, the queen mother didn't want to work for her, so Liu Tong had to be alone.
It's such a mess, and it doesn't really help.
Of course, this is basically the only time in a year, so Liu Tong can still withstand such trouble. In addition, he also knows that this matter is relatively important, so he has no complaints.
At dawn, with the sound of bells, all the officials quickly took their seats. Unlike the previous court meetings, this time the court meetings were held at the Wanxiang Shrine.
After Taichang prepared the congratulatory article for a long time and elaborated on the situation of five years, the Great Court Meeting has entered the main topic. The ministers present and the heads of the aristocratic families naturally focused on Chen Xi. There was nothing to say, they just came.
For Chen Xi.
Seeing this, Chen Xi nodded and took out the prepared report. Different from going straight to the topic during the first court meeting, this time there was a lot to talk about first, which involved the completion of the previous five-year plan.
From grain output, cultivated land area, population size after village merging, to northern Xinjiang ranches, fisheries, and grain processing industries, Chen Xi gave accurate data one by one. It was terrifying data. Even he had vaguely calculated the Han Dynasty’s production before.
The major aristocratic families also looked shocked at this time. This scale was too big, too big.
"The above is the completed part of the first five-year plan, involving food security, population security, and the development of agricultural and sideline products and animal husbandry. Basically, the first five-year plan was completed in a slightly exceeded way." Chen Xi combined the report.
He stood up and spoke with a calm expression.
Chen Xi knew these things as early as five years ago, because he knew how to do it, and he also knew that there would be no obstruction. Therefore, as long as the national power of the country was concentrated, it would not be very difficult to complete it. It was rarely possible to complete it before.
Some people carry out state regulation on this scale.
But Chen Xi is different. Chen Xi, who comes from a later generation, is very clear about the significance of national economic intervention and the stimulation of the overall industry by policy support. Therefore, Chen Xi basically determined the current success five years ago and just promoted it step by step.
The ministers above the court were frantically trying to communicate with others through voice transmission. They knew that the Han Dynasty had a strong foundation, but to such an extent that they couldn't help but start calculating the total share of their aristocratic families in the country.
Then they suddenly discovered that their share of these basic materials was already less than one-third.
From once occupying more than 70% of the country's share, after so many years of crazy development, their size has increased significantly at an incredible speed. However, when the final accounting was carried out, their share had dropped significantly.
.
The share of the family has dropped to less than one-third, which means that the current situation has been brought under control, and the country's economic base control ability has been regained, and the economic base determines many things. Obviously, according to the previous calculation method, now
The major aristocratic families no longer have the ability to suppress the overall development of the country.
Thinking of this, the heads of the major aristocratic families, even old people like Chen Ji and Xun Shuang, had complicated expressions. They had never thought that someone would rely on development to bring the major aristocratic families into the Han Dynasty without actively suppressing the major aristocratic families.
The proportion has been dragged down, and the extremely large share has been dragged down to a safe range.
This was almost like a joke, but this joke happened right before their eyes, and even the major families could not find the exact reason why they lost inexplicably.
They could only attribute it to Chen Xi being too strong, so strong that one person suppressed everyone.
"In the past thousand years, I have never seen such an inexplicably strong person in the history books."
It can be said that he is invincible in the world."
"He must have done it on purpose. After we calculate this proportion, the principals of the major families will be even more wary." Chen Ji sighed and said, "Without this report, the next report should be able to be passed very stably, but
With this report, I'm afraid the heads of the major families really need to think about it."
"What are you still weighing? If we follow his path, at least we are getting stronger quickly. Although the majority is in the opponent's hands, if you don't follow the opponent's path, you will be here today." Yan Fudiao said with a sneer.
Everyone who heard this message was silent. Indeed, this was the biggest problem. They seemed to have no choice.
