On the bank of Longlin Canal, Shao Shude had a long-lost tiger-skin chair brought in, sat down, and looked at the cultivated fields.
The land was cultivated by the palace people and eunuchs, and some fruits and vegetables were mainly grown. Wang Chan, the supervisor of the Qingcheng Palace, the supervisor of the north of the Forbidden Garden, and the supervisor of the Dongdu Garden Farm, was in charge.
The Forbidden Garden is not all a place for royal hunting. Generally, some farmland will be opened up to grow fruits and vegetables. Fish will be raised in rivers and gardens. There will even be some grid-shaped pastures for grazing some livestock. Dongduyuan Farm
Supervisory management, especially after Sinong Temple settled with it and completely withdrew from Dongdu Garden.
All the food harvested by the farm supervisors was provided to the palace as part of the palace expenses.
The vegetable patch beside Longlin Canal was already growing green vegetables and vines.
Spinach was introduced from Persia in the former Tang Dynasty, luffa was brought by Hu merchants from the Western Regions last year, Uighur beans (chickpeas) transplanted from Guanbei, watermelons introduced by Uighurs and vigorously cultivated by agriculturists, etc.
To be honest, it's all just to satisfy Shao Shude's appetite. Now he drinks milk tea, eats Teppanyaki, nibbles on watermelon with not much flesh, and eats out-of-season vegetables in winter, trying in vain to restore his life in the future.
Unfortunately, full recovery is not possible.
The only consolation is that when it comes to serving people, the experience effect is still quite good, even better than that of later generations——the palace official Xie Shi, Su Shi stood respectfully to one side, and Shao Shude picked it up whenever he wanted.
It’s no problem to look cool in their long skirts.
Mr. Lu brought the newly brewed milk tea, and Shao Shude tasted it. It tasted good.
Liu Yin from Guangzhou recently sent an envoy to Beijing and presented a lot of rare treasures, including a lot of sucrose. Shao Shude kept some, and the rest was used as part of his salary and distributed to officials of fifth rank and above - the new dynasty was the same as the former Tang Dynasty
, in kind is still an important part of salary.
This tea is good, please sit down and drink some." Shao Shude ordered some beddings to be brought in.
The palace officials knew his temper and sat down one after another to taste milk tea.
"It's a pity that sea beets can't be put to great use yet," Shao Shude said.
Of course, it is not useless at all. Recently, Sinong Temple reported that they have been planting on salt brine land in northern Guanbei for several years and found that sea beet can also be used in heavily saline-alkali land. Not only that, it can also be grown on many mountainous areas with very thin soil layers.
Sea beets. In the past, these lands were left uncultivated because there was no way to grow food.
This is equivalent to increasing the area of cultivated land out of thin air. Although it can only grow sea beet, a so-called cash crop with a low sugar yield, it is still exciting. Moreover, this crop also has the effect of improving the soil. It does not occupy cultivated land.
Under the circumstances, even if you plant extensively and harvest little, it is still an extra income. The people in Guanbei are still very grateful to Shao Sheng.
"Your Majesty, the Yinshan tribe has now begun to plant sea beets. With this plant, there will be fewer people who will rebel in the future." Lu said softly.
"Those people grow beets..." Shao Shude shook his head and laughed.
It's almost like the Uighurs planting corn and wheat in the first place. After sowing the seeds, people disappear and they go about whatever they have to do. When it's time to harvest, they come back and they can harvest as much as they want. Everything depends on the circumstances.
How much you can harvest from such a farming method depends on whether God will reward you or not...
But it is indeed an improvement.
The next step is to teach them how to squeeze, preserve and sell sugar. Economy is the basis of social operation, and the value of sugar is quite high. Nowadays, Dading in the Central Plains and Kansai have been stable for many years. The population is rising rapidly, and the wealth created
It is also increasing day by day, the consumption power has indeed become stronger, and the demand for sugar is also increasing day by day.
The income situation of the grassland Tibetan people will be greatly improved if they have such an additional livelihood. If they can survive, whoever is full will rebel. In addition, this seems to be conducive to settlement. At least some people can be trapped to settle down and stop running around.
Go, this is very important for controlling the grassland.
"Your Majesty has devoted all his energy and energy to the people of the world, and his talents are unprecedented in ancient times." Mrs. Lu said with admiration.
Shao Shude felt very happy.
At his age, the flattery of generals and prime ministers can certainly make him feel happy, but the effect is actually very limited. But the worship of women from the bottom of their hearts, the effect
It's much better. He always looks happy. This dog emperor really has the potential to be a coward.
He waved and after Mrs. Lu came over, he whispered a few words.
Lu's face suddenly turned red.
Shao Shude laughed loudly. Tonight he was staying at the Dragon Scale Palace in Dongdu Garden. A group of palace officials were waiting by the Ningbi Pool, lying in a row on the railings. Under the moonlight, they could lift up their long skirts and enjoy themselves.
Appreciate and play with the beautiful young buttocks, play with whichever you want, play with as many as you want, it is really the bliss of life.
"Officials." Wang Chan waited outside for a long time. When he saw that the conversation here had come to an end, he came over and reported: "Qian Chuanguan has arrived outside the palace."
"Let him come over." Shao Shude ordered.
All the palace officials stood up one after another and stood aside.
"In compliance with the order," Wang Chan replied: "Zhenzhou shogunate judge Zhou Shi, Dingzhou backyard Chinese army commander Wang Chuzhi, and Jiangling shogunate Jieduzhang secretary Yao Jie have also arrived at Ningbi Pond."
"Let them wait," Shao Shude said, "arrange them to different courtyards and meet them one after another."
"According to the order." Wang Chan slowly withdrew.
*****
"Greetings to Your Majesty." After a while, Qian Chuanguan, the field inspector of the Hangzhou shogunate and the Imperial College student supervisor, came to Longlin Palace and paid his respects.
"Get up." Shao Shude waved his hand and asked, "What are you studying at the Imperial Academy?"
"I studied agriculture." Qian Chuangan replied.
"Very good." Shao Shude looked at the sixteen-year-old boy and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Agriculture can help the world." Qian Chuanguan said: "Your Majesty established agriculture and benefited the world. Even the ancient sages could not do it."
"I also know a little bit about the agricultural professors of the Imperial College." Shao Shude said: "The limitations are still very big. Most of them are breeding and dry farming. There are many paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. If Qian Qing is willing, he can write a letter and send it to Hangzhou.
Recruit more people who are skilled in this way and send them to Luoyang."
"I obey the decree." Qian Chuanguan agreed without hesitation.
My father's attitude was very clear. He relied on the Central Plains court to fight against the intrusion of Yang Xingmi of Huainan and Wang Shenzhi of Fujian. It didn't matter who became the emperor of the Central Plains, just stick to it. As long as the foundation of Hangzhou remained, the emperor of the Central Plains had to implement a gentle policy.
It has been the second year since Shao Shude founded the country and his power has become increasingly stable. His father is very decisive. Not only has he presented a large number of rare treasures, but he has also been very cooperative in other aspects...
The merchants from Zhejiang and Zhejiang were designated to go to the sea to trade with the two states of Mizhou immediately.
Luoyang ordered craftsmen to be selected, and female actresses were dispatched as soon as they were put on duty in the palace.
The emperor needed to build ships, and the shogunate immediately sent people to search for giant trees in the mountains and forests. After felling and processing them, they made keels and sent them to Haizhou. They even built eight ships at once this year, planning to build them when the southeast wind blows.
Sailed to Haizhou and presented it to the imperial court.
Such a deferential attitude should be very rare among military envoys in feudal towns, and the Central Plains court would generally be satisfied with it.
"I heard that the Prince of Yuhang County did not need to establish a Ji era name and changed it to Yuan Tianbao on his own. This year is the first year of Tianbao. When the shogunate officials met with the Prince of Yuhang County, they all called themselves "Chen". Is this possible?" Shao Shude's smile dropped.
, asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty, this matter..." Qian Chuanguan wanted to deny it, but was a little scared.
It would be easy for an ordinary fool to fool him. But the man in front of him was an embryo-killing warrior who rolled out of a pile of dead people, so there was no way he could fool him. Qian Chuancui was also a little scared, so he froze there, not knowing what to do for a moment.
How to answer? At the same time, I cursed secretly in my heart. Because Daxia has been regarded as Zhengshuo, there are many people in Hangzhou talking about Jianyuan Tianbao. Where did the saint find out?
"You can write a letter to the family and go back. I don't want to send an angel over, so as not to look ugly." Shao Shude said: "With the money and money, you will remove your title and use the Jianji era name. All the clothes and utensils that have been made will be destroyed."
"I obey the decree." Qian Chuanguan breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
Fortunately, the saint seemed a little angry and even called his father by his first name, but without Thunder being furious, there was still room for redemption. Last month, a letter from home was sent to Luoyang, and my father was hesitant to send a sum of money and silk to Luoyang. Now,
It seems that this money cannot be saved. Not only must it be given away, but also
I want to give more——the 200,000 pieces of silk that I originally prepared, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to get the 300,000 pieces of silk, so I’ll have to add more money.
"There is one more thing." Shao Shude put aside the matter just now and said: "Master Yang of Suzhou and the prince of Yuhang County can accept him. Don't be afraid. If the secret traveler comes with troops, I will also send troops to help."
"Your Majesty wants to attack Huainan?" Qian Chuanguan said happily.
Shao Shude did not comment, but asked: "How many ships can the Yuhang County Prince collect?"
He knew that the number of ships under Qian Liu's rule was quite large, and foreign trade was also very developed. The most outrageous thing is that in the first year of Tianyou (900), the Zhen family of Silla called himself the "King of Baekje" and sent people to sail to Hangzhou.
, wanted to seek canonization from the Tang court in order to gain the upper hand in the battle on the peninsula. At that time, the emperor was relocating, and Qian Luo did not send the envoys to Luoyang and sent them back. However, last autumn, Qian Luo sent another ship to Baidu.
Ji, canonized the Zhen family as the king of Baekje, and at the same time mediated the war between the Silla court and the Zhen family and the Gong family, and issued an edict to them.
Let’s not talk about Qian Liu’s domineering behavior, but his ships traveled around and even went to the Bohai Sea and Japan, which is enough to prove that he has a fleet that can sail. During the war with Yang Xingmi, he once transported three thousand ships by sea.
A soldier attacked the Huai army unexpectedly. This is another circumstantial evidence.
"Your Majesty..." Qian Chuanguan understood, with a mixed expression on his face.
It is one thing to claim vassalage from the Central Plains, but it is another thing entirely to allow Central Plains soldiers to set foot on the land of Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
Shao Shude sneered in his heart.
After all, Qian Chuanguan was just a young man, and he couldn't hide his worries effectively. Among the towns in the south, Qian Miao of Wuyue, who was the most deferential to the Central Plains court and could be called a model householder, was like this. You can imagine what other feudal towns looked like.
A warlord is a warlord, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to hand over power unless absolutely necessary. Even if he has been your vassal for many years, he still "doesn't understand the general trend" and "doesn't know the current affairs."
"You are right." Shao Shude said: "With the secret rebelliousness and the navy obstructing the imperial troops, it may not be easy to march from Huaibei. Prince Yuhang might as well check the ships and see if they can transport five thousand elite troops.
Town, under a sudden attack, the Huai people will definitely be defeated.
Qian Chuanguan hesitated to speak. The sixteen-year-old boy was sweating profusely. He was too young and still had to practice.
