There are folk songs widely circulated in Henan, Hebei and Shandong. It says: The red sun is as hot as fire, and the wild rice is half-baked. The farmer's heart is like soup boiling, and the prince and the prince shake the fan.
On both sides of the official road from Xiangzhou to Zhending Prefecture, there is now a busy and joyful harvest in the fertile fields.
The red sun is still hanging on the roof, and the temperature remains high. Although the farmers working in the fields are baked and sweating like rain, they feel happy.
Laughing and joy came one after another.
The harvested potatoes piled up into mountains at the edge of the field, with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu, and the requirements for planting are not high. In the hearts of farmers in Hebei, a small potato has become a god-given thing.
It is the greatest symbol of Emperor Dayan’s saving the common people.
Many old men with white hair fell to their knees in front of the Potato Hill, kowtowed and shouted, "Long live my emperor", and tears suddenly turned into a pouring rain.
For potatoes two seasons a year, except for paying and tax deductions, the remaining ones are more than enough to support the family's life.
Wang Lin led more than a hundred Jinyiwei to walk in front of the large army in a very small way. Along the way, Wang Lin was also very happy to see the farmers in Hebei enjoying a bumper harvest.
In fact, ordinary people have very low standards for food and clothing. As long as they have clothes and food to eat, they will not starve to death, they will truly support the court and the government. With the expansion and popularization of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Wang Lin, the Emperor of Great Yan, has been among the people.
I have already been born in all my heart for Buddhas.
Therefore, in a sense, Wang Lin's military achievements in resisting the Jin Dynasty and his literary talent were far less realistic than a potato.
Wang Lin remembered that a philosopher in his previous life said that whoever can fill the people's stomachs will be able to sit firmly in the world.
Sometimes, when people's hearts return to their hearts, it is not about righteousness, but about benefits.
As for whether the world's surname is Zhao, Wang, Song, or Da Yan, there is no difference between the people at the bottom.
This year, Hebei, Henan, including Shandong, has good weather. This year, potatoes and normal grain crop income can ensure that the people of the big swallows will not go hungry within at least two years.
Two children, five or six years old, rolled and played on the potato hill, and were overjoyed. Next to them, their parents, a young couple in their twenties, roasted two potatoes on the fire during the harvest, and then peeled them off the black
The slim shell reveals the light yellow flesh inside it.
The fragrance is fragrant.
The two children rolled down from the potato mountain again, took the roasted potatoes from their parents, one and half of them, and laughed and played while eating.
The couple snuggled together happily, their faces slightly red, and the satisfaction in their eyes was beyond words.
Wang Lin and Jinyiwei stood on the ridge not far away, pointing at the young couple and two playful children and sighed: "Xiao Yi, sometimes, happiness is so simple, just a roasted potato.
.”
Yan Qing and the Jinyiwei in front and behind Wang Lin bowed together and said, "It is up to Your Majesty's kindness that all the people will no longer be hungry."
Wang Lin sighed, "If in the future, in my Dayan, all the people can have food, clothes, and houses, and spend some spare money at will in their spare time, I will be content."
After hearing this, Yan Qing and other Jinyiwei bowed and bowed again and said, "Your Majesty's love for the people is a sign of the sun!"
Everyone has food, clothes, houses, and spare money. This may not be anything in modern society, but in this ancient royal society with low productivity, it is almost like the world's harmony to achieve this.
Wang Lin was silent for a while, then walked forward, walked out of the ridge, turned over and galloped towards Zhending first.
Zhending is Shijiazhuang in later generations.
Because the emperor was in charge here, Zhending has become a political, economic and military center in Hebei and even the entire Dayan Dynasty.
Young people who serve the country with passion, merchants, and scholars who join the army are gradually coming to Zhending, and the population of Zhending Mansion is constantly expanding every moment.
The black coffin on the Zhending City Tower was taken away by the new prefect of Zhending, Jacky Lu, because it was too unlucky. When Wang Lin brought people back to Zhending, he did not see this coffin and knew it was a local official.
I didn't care much about what I did.
It is not as good as before. He no longer needs such a carrier to unite people's hearts.
As the emperor, he was able to personally visit the front line and take charge of the Hebei border defense, which was more than anything else to inspire the world.
"I, Dayan, will not cede land, will not pay compensation, will not marry, will not pay tribute, will the emperor guards the country's borders, and the king will die in the country."
These words are well known to everyone.
Wang Lin fulfilled his promise to the people of the world with practical actions.
The original Yan Prince's Mansion in Zhending Mansion has been upgraded to a palace.
After Wang Lin led the girls to enter, the palace defense was taken over by the Jinyiwei under Yan Qing's command, and the Imperial Guards were only guarding the periphery.
The Jinyiwei was built into the army by Wang Lin himself, the elite among the elites and the confidants among the confidants. Only by handing over the safety of himself and his subordinates to the Jinyiwei could Wang Lin sleep peacefully.
Since Wang Lin invented the ice-making technique, the Zhending Palace and the Grand Marshal's Office (Military Affairs Office) all used artificial ice specially made by the deacons of the inner palace, which made Zhang Jun and other subordinates in Yanyan
In summer, you can also devote yourself to busy work.
There were only four ministers of military affairs, but Yue Fei still had to take charge of the army, so only Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo and Han Ting were responsible for daily affairs.
The Military Affairs Office not only needs to coordinate and coordinate military affairs and logistics, but also connect with the imperial center in Tokyo. As Wang Lin’s command center and headquarters for remote control of the entire Dayan, the workload can be imagined.
The Military Affairs Office has several yamen, with hundreds of officials under the ninth rank and above.
Wang Lin did not notice that Li Qingzhao's younger brother Li Hui was also one of the subordinates of the Military Affairs Office, the fourth-rank chief, specializing in economics, agriculture and sericulture.
To a certain extent, Zhang Jun assumed the responsibility of the chief minister of Zhending's small court.
Ma Kuo and Han Ting are equivalent to deputy prime ministers.
Therefore, since Zhang Jun, who was in his early thirties, has not had a good sleep for almost three days and three nights since he entered Zhending. When he was sleepy and tired, he would find a side room in the Military Hall for a while.
Zhang Jun is under great pressure.
Until the soldiers came to report that Gu Qingchuan, who was formerly the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture, later the deputy envoy of Jingdong East Road Transport and the Chief of Jinan Prefecture, had arrived in Zhending, Zhang Jun felt relieved and welcomed the Military Affairs Office with Ma Kuo and Han Ting.
Gu Qingchuan was also one of the military ministers designated by Wang Lin.
At this point, the five-person small team of the Military Affairs Office and the future central team of the Dayan imperial court were completed.
All of these five people are young and strong.
With these five people here, Wang Lin can basically return to his past state of hand-off manager.
...
Five military ministers, including Han Ting, are rare workaholics.
When Wang Lin walked into the Military Hall in all directions in a bright yellow dragon robe, all four of them were buried in the desks, one of whom occupied a partition in the Military Hall, and no one noticed Wang Lin's arrival.
Wang Lin coughed twice.
Then Zhang Jun looked up and glanced at Wang Lin, and quickly stood up and knelt down on the ground: "Long live my respect, long live my emperor!"
The other three people also immediately stood up and worshiped.
Wang Lin smiled and looked at Gu Qingchuan at the end and said, "Sir Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Qingchuan kowtowed to the ground: "I have received the great grace of the emperor. Since receiving the imperial edict, I have arrived day and night, and I will arrive today."
Wang Lin and Gu Qingchuan are also old acquaintances.
But on that day, he was the King of Bohai County and is now the Emperor of Dayan.
Wang Lin smiled and signaled the four of them to stand up, looking around and said, "The four beloved ministers are all talented for the world, and they are young and strong, so they should be loyal to the king's affairs, but they should also combine work and rest, don't work too hard, and they will be exhausted.
.”
Wang Lin waved his hand, and the inner officer quickly sent two round iced watermelons in.
"I have let the watermelons be chilled, so let me try it out."
Zhang Jun and Ma Kuohan Ting bowed to thank him, but Gu Qingchuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that this summer is too expensive. How can we greedy for enjoyment and consume national treasury?"
Wang Lin smiled and glanced at Qingchuan. This person was still as straightforward as before.
Wang Lin smiled and looked at Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun hurriedly explained: "Mr. Gu just came here, but he didn't know that His Majesty got an ancient recipe that could make ice with saltpeter, which greatly reduced the cost of ice making and could not cost much money. However, because saltpeter is not easy to obtain, it has not yet been used by the people.
Promotion.”
Gu Qingchuan was shocked: "Take it serious?"
Yan Qing behind Wang Lin said coldly: "Mr. Gu, don't you know if you don't have any jokes?"
Gu Qingchuan took a deep breath and bowed and said, "I know my crime!"
Wang Lin smiled: "I accidentally obtained this ancient method. Although it is easy to make ice, it is not easy to obtain saltpeter. Instead, this method has become useless and cannot be used in the world for the time being and benefit the people. However, the income is for several military ministers.
, it's still more than enough."
It is almost a miracle to Gu Qingchuan when it comes to ice in summer.
Gu Qingchuan couldn't imagine how the emperor got such an ancient prescription for a moment, but when he thought of the potato artifact that Wang Lin personally promoted, he was inspiring for a moment and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is really a saint from heaven, and this is the method of making ice in summer,
If you can sell the world, you will be the best for all people!”
Wang Lin nodded slightly. If you want to obtain a large amount of saltpeter, you must dig a saltpeter mine. However, if you really want to use it for people all over the world, the saltpeter needed is an astronomical number, and one or two saltpeter mines is not helpful.
Therefore, Wang Lin had no intention of large-scale promotion at all, which was to use it to reduce heat from the inner palace, and also gave some benefits to the ministers of the Military Affairs Department.
Wang Lin was unwilling to pull it off on this topic anymore, so he ordered people to cut iced watermelons and chatted with Zhang Jun and others one by one, one leaf while eating.
The Jinyiwei hurriedly reported: "Report to the Emperor, sir, the Northern Liao envoy arrived in Zhending and asked to see the Emperor."
"Northern Liao?" Wang Lin browed, "The small Liao court established by Yeluding?"
Zhang Jun stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Yelu Ding led the remnants of the Liao people to ascend the throne in the Hunyuan River Valley, claiming to restore Liao. They came to Zhending to worship the emperor, intending to discuss the alliance with our Dayan."
Wang Lin's face was faint: "Just just tens of thousands of remnants of the Khitan, I dare to form an alliance with my Dayan? I will not see him. My dear friends will meet you. If I sincerely submit, I will not be able to tolerate tens of thousands of Khitans.
People, but if they want to use my Dayan to restore the country, they are delusional."
