Xiao Cheng looked at the "Nongsang Collection" in his hand, chuckled, and said:
"I never expected that among the hundreds of families, it was the farmer who reacted first."
The "Nongsang Ji Yao" in front of me was presented by the peasant disciples in Jixia Academy.
The core philosophy of the farm is to focus on farming and mulberry cultivation. After the disciples get started, they need to immerse themselves in farming in the fields besides studying. Over the years, this farm family has naturally summed up a lot of experience.
The agricultural mulberry collection in front of you records farming methods, the production of farm tools, water conservancy, the habits of various types of plants, etc. In addition, the text in the book also contains farm scriptures and various subtle remarks.
It can be said that this book is definitely the condensed essence of hundreds of years of farming.
Xiao Cheng wanted to use the power of various schools of thought for his own use, so he established Jixia Academy. Moreover, Xiao Cheng had always had a lukewarm attitude towards various schools of thought.
Such a gesture is intended to get the hundreds of families to get involved with each other, and in order to enhance their own influence, they will take the initiative to show more sincerity to him.
It has been almost half a year since Jixia Academy was established, and all the major famous schools among hundreds of schools have also settled in it.
But maybe it's because Baijia is still waiting and watching, and has only been quarreling with each other.
After hearing Dongchang's report, these famous scholars in the world seemed to regard Jixia Academy as the Xia Kingdom's court. They often argued and fought with each other, criticizing each other's ideas and shortcomings, but never thought of starting from Xiao Cheng's side.
.
The first person to react was actually the farmer who had been silent among these nine or ten families.
Feng Bao on the side saw this and said softly:
"Dongchang Fanzi reported that Wu Zixu, the new head of the military cao, had previously met Xu Heng, the chief disciple of the Nong family in the academy. Soon after, Xu Heng presented this "Nong Jia Ji Yao".
In the past, when Wu Zixu first arrived at Jixia Academy, the farmer Xu Heng expressed his kindness and took him into the academy. This was regarded as a good relationship. Information about these things from Dongchang had been handed over to him a long time ago.
And with Wu Zixu's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess the reason why Xiao Cheng coldly met Baijia. Because of his original goodwill, he could naturally understand why he gave some advice to the farmers.
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly, nodded and said:
"Wu Zixu is quite smart. Xu Heng is also decisive and a talented person..."
Xiao Cheng slowed down and said in a deep voice:
"Prepare the decree!"
"Under Hu Cao, a new Yamen, Sinong Temple, was established. There were one Qing, two Shao Qing, four Cheng, chief secretary, and two records. They were responsible for advising the world on farming, and also inspecting and supervising. The original officials were transferred
The Great Sinong Temple serves as a subordinate official. The 'Water Conservancy and Farmland Law' previously implemented by the imperial court will also be supervised by Sinong Temple in the future!"
"In addition, another edict has been drafted. Xu Heng, a disciple of the farmer family, presented "Nongsang Ji Yao" to the country. He has merit for the country and has virtues for the people. He has been appointed as the chief registrar of Sinong Temple. He will first be responsible for inspecting the farming and mulberry affairs in Dayun. And
Let him select five farm disciples and transfer them to serve as officials in Sinong Temple!"
Feng Bao on the side immediately bowed in response.
Xiao Cheng slowly stood up, put down the "Nongsang Collection" in his hand, and said with a chuckle:
"From now on, let's see if these various schools of thought are sensible or not!"
The farmer presented the "Nongsang Ji Yao" in front of him, and Xiao Cheng promoted the farmers' disciples to become officials in the court. Among all the schools of thought, there should be smart people!
-------------------
In the harem, Yang Yuhuan was sitting in the middle, a little restless, and even sweating slightly on his white forehead.
Sitting to her left and right were Nan Rongshu, whose eyes were looking at the person opposite her, and Bian Liuyun, whose figure was calm and composed, and whose temperament was generous and dignified.
At this time, the atmosphere between the three of them was quite unusual.
This atmosphere made Yang Yuhuan feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have walked out at this time. What a coincidence that the three of them bumped into each other in this huge harem.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were following behind the three of them saw that something was definitely not right, so they all withdrew with a look at this time, for fear of causing some bad luck.
Nan Rongshu narrowed her eyes slightly when she looked at Liu Yun, who had a gentle temperament and calm demeanor, and did not seem to put herself in her eyes.
Yep, she's just the princess of Xia Kingdom...
The corners of Nan Rongshu's mouth curved up, revealing a fake smile that was both stunning and hypocritical. She covered her mouth and said:
"Ah, sister is new to the harem, and we seldom move around. Today, it was a coincidence that we bumped into each other..."
Nan Rongshu's fake smile was easy to see through, not to mention that Bian Liuyun, with the help of the musician's classics she practiced, was very sensitive to people's emotions, and it was easy to sense Nan Rongshu's reaction to
His own vague hostility.
She has a gentle nature, but she is unwilling to give in at this time. She uses her gentle voice and says:
"Although I have a high status, I entered the palace late after all, so I can't be called a sister. Let's talk about each other based on our age."
When Nan Rongshu heard this, her eyelids suddenly jumped.
Bian Liuyun's real age is no longer important. Anyway, what she is carrying now is the identity of Princess Yu Yingyao of Xia Kingdom. So among the three people, the one who appears to be the oldest is really Nan Rongshu.
Nan Rongshu narrowed her eyes, condensing and flowing.
What do you mean? I just shouted casually, you just use this to attack people, right! The three of us are not old enough to care about this...
Nan Rongshu maintained a false smile and wanted to remove the topic, saying:
"Actually speaking, in the harem, the three of us..."
Speaking of this, Nan Rongshu suddenly couldn't speak anymore and her breathing became a little heavy.
No, I still care a little...
Gan, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Seeing Nan Rongshu's expression changed, Yang Yuhuan at the side quickly tugged at her dress quietly and winked at her.
At this time, Nan Rongshu immediately remembered what Yang Yuhuan had said before that the restlessness in the harem would make Xiao Cheng unhappy, and she suppressed the temper she originally wanted to have.
At the same time, she suddenly realized something.
If he were to take the initiative to stir up trouble now, in the Gong Dou storybook he had read before, it would be a scene involving a villain and a concubine!
What? The villain is myself!
Thinking of this, Nan Rongshu reacted immediately.
No, we have to find another way!
Nan Rongshu pondered for a moment, blinked slightly, showed a fake smile again, and said:
"That's fine. Since my sister is so polite, I'll give it to you and accept your words of 'sister'!"
At this time, it was Bian Liuyun's turn to frown.
Nan Rongshu saw this and continued to smile:
"Speaking of which, my sister and I have quite a close relationship. After my sister entered my country of Yun, General Nan Jiyun, who escorted her all the way, is my sister's tribe."
Speaking of this matter, Bian Liuyun was slightly startled.
Nan Jiyun, who had been guarding him for a period of time, was a rare ninth-level master in the world.
This person has a strict and conscientious character, and he never neglected anything during the escort. He blocked all the assassins who appeared on the surface, and none of them came close to her.
Such a reliable person is actually a tribesman of the person in front of me?
Sensing Bian Liuyun's surprised look, Nan Rongshu suddenly felt a little offended.
Nan Rongshu almost gritted her teeth, but she still had to smile and said:
"Sister, I don't know, but the most capable members of my Ailao tribe have now entered the imperial court and served in the army. It's a pity that there are not many successful members of my tribe, and there is only one Nan Jiyun. Unlike sister Yuhuan,
All my relatives and relatives in the family are now under the great care of His Majesty."
Humph, although you are the princess of Xia Kingdom and your status is noble, you can't bring any talents or benefits to His Majesty. How can you deal with yourself when war breaks out between the two countries?
Nan Rongshu suddenly brought up this topic at this time, in order to tell Bian Liuyun that although your status brings honor, you are destined to not be able to fully integrate into the harem. What can you do if you are proud for a while?
It's a pity that Bian Liuyun didn't feel the profound meaning of Nan Rongshu's words at all. Because she was not the princess of Xia Kingdom at all.
But at this time, Bian Liuyun was also slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered what King Qi said before.
The family power behind Yang Yuhuan, who looked innocent and ignorant, was deeply rooted in the Yun Kingdom court.
Not to mention the former Shangshu Ling Ma Minwen, the current Shangshu Ling Qucheng, and the Taiwei Tao Ai, these three are her relatives that Bian Liuyun had previously known, including Yang Dayan who was stationed on the southeastern border.
When Yang Yuhuan saw that the two of them were not confronting each other, he felt a little relieved, pursed his lips and smiled. With a look of joy and contentment, he answered:
"I have many uncles and brothers in the Yang family, and my father helped to select suitable ones... Actually, it was mainly because His Majesty fell in love with them that they were reused."
Speaking of this matter, Nan Rongshu suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth again, and a feeling of frustration suddenly arose in her heart.
She has recently searched the clan, but still hasn't found any talents who can be put to great use.
Nan Rongshu never expected that her large Ailao clan didn't have as many talents as Yang Yuhuan's family. How could she reason with this?
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Bian Liuyun suddenly felt something strange.
According to folklore, harem fights are always about intrigues and schemes. But there seems to be something wrong in the harem of Yun Kingdom. The concubines are competing with each other in terms of the number of talents they recommend to the country. How weird does this look!
So, should I also...
At this moment, Bian Liuyun suddenly fell into deep thought.
Sometimes, this is how involution begins!
-----------------------
On the official road outside Zhongqing City, more than a thousand elite soldiers formed a military formation and marched slowly. In the military formation, there were large flags with the word "Tao" and talismans symbolizing the power of the Taiwei at that time.
The team in front of me is Tao Ai, the old Taiwei who returned from Shicheng County.
The old lieutenant was already very old, so when Xia and Li invaded before, Xiao Cheng did not allow him to go to the battlefield in person.
But this does not mean that the old lieutenant did not contribute in this war.
The old Taiwei was born as a lowly soldier in the army. He fought on the battlefield step by step and rose to the high position of General Wei. Because of his character, the Old Taiwei gained a high prestige in the army.
It was because of him who was stationed in Shicheng County to prevent the border troops from rebelling, and at the same time, he coordinated everything and stabilized the morale of the army. It was because of him that he could wait until Xiao Cheng arrived in person to subdue the border troops and relieve the crisis in the Yun Kingdom.
Now that the Three Kingdoms are in peace talks, the border troops have returned. After all, the old lieutenant is no longer young, and his old arms and legs are prone to problems, so Xiao Cheng took advantage of this moment to transfer him back to the capital to be recuperated.
At this time, at the city gate, a group of ceremonial officers, soldiers, officers and officials were seen in the distance, waiting respectfully at the city gate. At the front, there was also a palace attendant, carrying a carriage of eight tall and strong black horses.
The golden car is pulled with a gorgeous shape and is particularly eye-catching.
Seeing the flag of the old lieutenant, everyone immediately stepped forward and lined up to meet Tao Ai, who was at the front of the military formation. He had white hair and stood erect on his horse. They bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison:
"In accordance with His Majesty's imperial edict, I respectfully welcome Mr. Tao Taiwei back to the capital!"
Although there are not hundreds of officials greeting him, the battle now is not small, which shows Xiao Cheng's respect for Tao Ai, a loyal and upright veteran.
People who join the army attach great importance to honor. Now that Tao Ai is a Taiwei, his official position has reached the highest level, and he has no pursuit. But now when he sees the many officials who are waiting for him at the city gate, he is still agitated in his heart and his face is full of excitement.
Moving.
The palace attendant on the side immediately stepped forward with the imperial edict in hand and said loudly:
"In obedience to the heavens and in response to his orders, Emperor Dayun issued an edict: Taiwei Tao Ai, in his sixtieth year, still led troops to the front line personally, sat in the army and stabilized the morale of the troops. His loyalty can be reflected in heaven and earth. This is a special gift.
There are military chariots and chariots, and horses and horses, to show their achievements!"
The military chariots and chariots refer to the golden chariots and large chariots. The two horses of Xuan Mu were given eight black horses.
This thing sounds like a car was given as a gift, and it doesn't seem to be very expensive.
But in fact, this treatment is like a "horse and carriage" among Jiuxi.
The Jiuxi thing is nine kinds of ritual vessels and honor guards, which together form a pre-package for usurping the throne. The former Taiwei Wang Xiao had these eight kinds in his possession. If Xiao Cheng hadn't made a comeback, the process might have been completed.
However, if this thing is taken out alone, it is a reward and courtesy for the ministers, which is not too amazing.
Tao Ai hurriedly rolled down from his horse, knelt on the ground and listened to the order, and then said with excitement and respect:
"Your Majesty, Tao Ai, thank you for your kindness!"
The palace attendant did not dare to let the old lieutenant kneel on the ground for long, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty has said that the old lieutenant does not need to kneel down to receive the order. The march has been hard, and your majesty allows the lieutenant to go home to rest first, and then go to the palace to see you."
When Tao Ai heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:
"How dare you make Your Majesty wait? I will enter the palace to thank you!"
Seeing that Tao Ai insisted on entering the palace for an audience, the palace attendant could not stop him, so he had to say:
"Then please invite the Taiwei and the slave to come together!"
Tao Ai immediately ordered his lieutenants to lead the army into the military camp that had been prepared long ago, and he headed towards the palace under the leadership of the palace attendants.
And among the army brought back by Tao Ai, dozens of military disciples who were not wearing armor, but whose actions showed a military spirit as they advanced and retreated, were surrounding a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked into the palace, feeling the throbbing coming from the Soldier Master Seal in his hand, and felt very excited in his heart.
"The military master's seal has responded! As expected, my military strategist's rise has been sealed in the Yun Kingdom!"
A group of military disciples immediately shouted in unison:
