Chapter 64 They reject the phase [Thanks to 201907...13241
During the war in Youzhou, preparations for spring plowing and plowing were already underway in Guanzhong. Under the impetus of the imperial court, the Quyuan plow was tested in winter wheat cultivation and proved to be far more efficient than the old plow. So just after the New Year, the Ministry of Industry ordered all prefectures and counties in Guanzhong to The first batch of Quyuan plows were distributed and given to the people for farming.
Distribute for free!
This move immediately won Li Zhiyun the gratitude of a large number of people. Although not everyone could get a share of Quyuanli, the gesture made by the court was undoubtedly sending a signal.
The new prince attaches great importance to farming!
This is enough. What the people want is a court that can help them farm honestly.
The people do not like a monarch like Yang Guang who likes to do things.
Moreover, the prince has issued an order to liberalize the manufacturing technology of Quyuan plow, so that craftsmen from all over the world can imitate it.
The materials used to make the curved plow are not expensive, which means that sooner or later everyone will be able to own a curved plow.
Li Zhiyun also temporarily put aside his attention to the war in Youzhou and looked for an opportunity to inspect the winter wheat cultivated and planted by the refugees.
The effect is pretty good and you should be able to gain a lot.
Xinfeng.
Li Zhiyun took several ministers to check the use of Quyuan plow along the way.
Sometimes, when he meets one or two old farmers who are not yet proficient in using the curved shaft plow, Li Zhiyun will personally go to the fields to demonstrate to them and teach them step by step.
On the ridge of the field, Pei Ju looked in disbelief as he watched the prince plowing the fields skillfully.
He had never thought that Prince Li Zhiyun could be so skilled at plowing the land. He didn't look like he was a child of aristocratic family, but more like he was born in mud.
"Incredible." He stroked his beard.
He couldn't help but be shocked, because before the saint became emperor, he was also from a noble family. In the Zhou and Sui dynasties, Li Yuan, a descendant of the Eight Pillar Kingdom, was also a real noble of Guanlong and his family was well off.
Under such circumstances, isn't it shocking that Li Zhiyun, as a noble child, can actually cultivate the land skillfully?
Pei Ji pursed his lips and said nothing. In fact, he had nothing to say. Now he is the mascot in Zhengshi Hall. There is basically no difference between him and without him.
However, fortunately, he has bowed his head to the prince, and at least he does not have to worry about having his head chopped off by the prince with a knife in the future.
A moment later, Li Zhiyun sat directly on the field ridge with a pair of mud legs.
The prince had all sat down, and the accompanying ministers naturally had to sit on the ground and kneel.
Pei Ju smiled and said: "The prince has opened my eyes to this old minister."
"Oh, what do you mean by Mr. Pei's words?" Li Zhiyun took a sip of water and asked with a smile.
"His Royal Highness is responsible for farming, and he is indeed a wise master."
shameless!
Pei Ji secretly mocked, this Pei Ju really has no moral integrity. He just plows the land. There are many princes who know how to plow the land in ancient times.
Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "The foundation of a country lies in agriculture. If the common people are uneasy, the world will be uneasy as well. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ignored the people, so I should take him as a warning."
Speaking of which, Li Zhiyun was actually very emotional. The Han people are actually very strange. They can endure the great exploitation of the nobles, but at the same time they will act righteously when they can't bear it anymore.
In other words, the bottom line of the Han people was very low, so low that as long as they had a mouthful of food to eat, they would not go against the imperial court.
Similarly, the bottom line for Han people is also very high.
So high that it can directly challenge the majestic imperial power.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the common people had no clans. Despite this, they dared to rise up and even uttered a sentence that the Han people could not forget until two thousand years later.
The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!
This sentence alone made the nobles a joke in China.
Don’t you see, the country of Great Brother in the new century actually still talks about ridiculous bloodline theories and so-called aristocratic etiquette.
The Han people never take nobles seriously. What they fear and worship is never the blood of nobles, but the power held by nobles.
Perhaps, it can be explained in one word. That is, smooth!
There is a saying that says, "A real man can have his head cut off, his blood can be shed, and he can be killed but not humiliated." There is also a saying that "A real man can bend and stretch."
It is incredible that this is the way of life of the Han people. It is never blind submission, let alone blind resistance.
In Li Zhiyun's view, the people do not win or lose, but they let whoever does not let them live die.
They will follow whoever gives them a bite of food.
It can be said that the Han people are extremely patient.
But when they can't stand the exploitation, it will be the end of the court.
Chinese civilization penetrates into the bone marrow, blood, and even genes of every common people. Even if it is an old farmer who has never read a book, if you don't give him food, you will see if he dares to rebel.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very lucky.
Because the ancestors of the Han people are so great, one sentence can be used by future generations endlessly.
Just look at the third brother next door and you will know the greatness of our ancestors.
If there had been no Shang Jun farming war, Chen Sheng and Daze Township would have let out a shocking roar, maybe the nobles would have remained nobles forever.
Pei Ju chuckled and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right."
In the Tang Dynasty, it was extremely correct to flog Emperor Sui Yang to death. Even when Li Yuan was writing imperial edicts, he would sometimes flog Emperor Sui Yang to death.
Because Emperor Sui Yang was reviled by everyone in the world!
Maybe Emperor Yang of Sui was not a faint king, but he was by no means a wise king. Don't really think that you can overthrow the Sui Dynasty just by relying on aristocratic families. If the people hadn't been tortured to death by Emperor Sui Yang, how could they have revolted everywhere?
It's a simple truth. If the people live peacefully, they will rebel if they lose their minds. The reason why the aristocratic family can incite the people to revolt is not because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty squeezed them too hard, leaving the people not only hungry but also in danger of death.
Only a devil is willing to rebel!
The Han people have been farming for generations. As long as they have a mouthful of food to eat, they can endure what others cannot.
However, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty worked hard all day long, leaving the people with no hope of survival. Under such circumstances, as long as the aristocratic family gave them a little encouragement, the people would naturally rise up.
If you don't feed the people, they will want your head.
Food is the most important thing for the people, do you think you are joking?
Throughout the past dynasties, people rarely rebelled for other reasons. They rebelled because they could not survive.
That's why Li Zhiyun acted like he was farming himself. He just wanted to tell the people that the prince of the Tang Dynasty valued farming and would never imitate Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Li Zhiyun is unwilling to antagonize the Turks now. He must appease the people and let them know a fact.
It’s not that I don’t want everyone to farm honestly, it’s that the Turks don’t let us farm!
Later, Li Zhiyun inspected several places and rested in Xinfengting.
"It's not enough to just promote the Quyuan plow in Guanzhong. Bashu has always been a grain-producing land. We must let the people of Bashu use it as soon as possible this year."
Pei Ju asked: "Does your Highness have any regulations?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and looked at Samurai Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was unknown along the way.
"Wu Shangshu, as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, you think it is most appropriate for you to go to Bashu to promote Quyuan Li. I wonder what Wu Shangshu means?"
Hearing this, the warrior Yun lamented in his heart.
Still can't escape, is it finally my turn?
Although Li Zhiyun is asking for his opinion, is his opinion important?
Not important at all!
As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't listen to the words of the prince of the prison country, do you still want to do it? Whose family do you eat? Who pays you a salary?
"I obey." He bowed.
This day will come sooner or later. As a former minister of the saint, he knows that he cannot escape.
"Good." Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "I have appointed you as the right servant of Yizhou Daoxingtai. You will be fully responsible for the promotion of Quyuanli in Yizhou. I hope you will be more attentive."
