Chapter 145 The problem of spring ploughing, Shen Gongbao's suggestions
There were lone clouds, and a drop of spring rain fell on the ground, which turned out to be the first rain since the beginning of spring.
Di Xin hid on the bed, unwilling to get up, but he felt a thin leg stretching out. Di Xin opened his eyes and found nothing.
"Oh...it turned out to be an erotic dream!"
This cannot be blamed on Di Xin. The queen is busy all day long, either with Concubine Huang or Concubine Yang. After all, although the two pregnant women are now stable, they are still nursing their fetuses.
But Su Daji's place is like a rose with thorns. You can only admire it, but you can't get close to it.
In such a huge palace, there was no woman to serve Di Xin. As Di Xin was lying on the bed, he suddenly thought of the beautiful Princess Long Ji, and for a moment, he felt a little itchy.
Just when Di Xin was in endless reverie, a guard suddenly came in to report, and Mei Bo and Su Hu asked to see him.
"Help me get up and change my clothes!"
When he was young, Di Xin, who was sitting solemnly on the throne, directly saw Mei Bo and Su Hu coming.
After some salutes, Uncle Mei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, spring plowing is about to begin. Please, for the sake of spring plowing, please suspend the expedition in person!"
The Yin Shang Dynasty was based on agriculture, and spring plowing was regarded as the most important thing. At this time, in order to prepare for the expedition, a large number of civilians had to be mobilized, which would inevitably affect this year's harvest.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is not only true for spring plowing, but also for animal husbandry. Cattle, sheep, and pigs all need to rest."
Nowadays, the breeding and raising of pigs, cattle and sheep all depends on Dr. Su Hu, which is why Su Hu is so anxious.
"We cannot delay the expedition, but spring plowing is related to people's livelihood, so we should consider it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xin was silent for a long time, not knowing what to do, so he said, "Prince Xuan Yin Shen Gongbao, come here."
Since there is no other way, we should find a good way to govern the country.
After a while, Shen Gongbao entered Qiong's room and did not show any surprise when he saw Mei Bo and Su Hu.
After some explanations, the thin Shen Gongbao brushed back his thin beard and his eyes brightened.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can solve the problem of spring plowing without delaying your Majesty's personal expedition."
"Oh? Tell me quickly."
"Your Majesty, why not combine these two things into one thing?"
"Oh? How about it?"
"The king's elite soldiers are all soldiers from Chaoge City, right?"
Even if Emperor Xindang understands what Shen Gongbao means, if the human king needs to conquer his subordinates, he will issue a conscription order in Chaoge City. All men with suitable conditions, whether they are nobles or commoners, need to gather at the designated place to carry out the conscription.
military service.
Of course, if it is a brave soldier or a city defense force, the garrisoned general will also come to the gathering place to stand by after receiving the confirmation of the tiger talisman.
But a very humane point is that each family can only recruit one person to serve, and the rest must serve in reserve service in case of emergencies.
And when I heard that the Grand Master had been summoned once before for an expedition, there were still a large number of reserve soldiers in the city defense army. These soldiers were still training. When Huang Feihu brought out a hundred thousand troops for an expedition, this was the army he used.
army.
If this army is allowed to go home to farm, as long as a time is set for their return, I believe it will not delay too much.
"Come here! Within one month, order the reserve soldiers to go home and farm, and give them 10 gold for travel expenses, 3 bolts of cotton, and 3 bolts of silk, so that the soldiers' families can make clothes for them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your benevolent act!"
When Mabel heard this, she burst into tears.
[Due to the emperor’s benevolence and righteousness, Mabel’s loyalty increased to 99%]
"Then, Your Majesty, do you have these pigs, cattle and sheep?"
"I still have 10,000 slave soldiers in my hands, so I'll give them to you, but don't treat them harshly."
When Su Hu heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.
[Due to solving the livestock problem, Su Hu’s loyalty increased to 80%]
…
After the three doctors went down, Di Xin changed into casual clothes and took a car to Sitiantai alone.
Si Tiantai is actually an institution in Chaoge City. Astronomy, astrology, mathematics, and divination are all their jobs.
The more important point is that this Sitiantai is actually the office of Chanjiao in Yin and Shang Dynasties, and Du Yuanxian is considered to be the representative of Chanjiao.
Because of Jiang Shang's relationship, although Du Yuanxian was not involved, he still came to avoid suspicion.
Du Yuanxian may look old, but in fact he may live for decades, so Emperor Xin must come here to take a look at him before he goes on an expedition.
When he knocked on the door of Si Tiantai, the concierge was startled and wanted to call out, but was stopped by Di Xin.
"I just come here to hang out, don't call!"
The human king's intimidation is still very effective in front of this concierge.
As soon as Di Xin entered the Tiantai, he saw an armillary sphere. This object was an all-bronze structure and was extremely beautifully made. It could demonstrate celestial phenomena and mark the coordinates of celestial bodies. It looked like a whole, but in fact it was composed of an armillary sphere and an armillary sphere.
, each has its own method of use.
This object was obtained from the previous dynasty, and it was said that it was a treasure obtained by Xia Yu. The real situation has long been unknown. Emperor Xin touched it and found that it was just a mortal object, with no national destiny or merit at all on it, which was a bit of a pity.
"Your Majesty, Du Yuanxian, did not know that the king was here in person, so I hope that the king will forgive me."
At this time, the old Du Yuanxian quickly knelt in front of Di Xin, and behind him, there were many officials from Si Tiantai.
Many of these officials are his disciples. They have been in Sitiantai for many years, and this is the first time they have seen the Human King.
"Master Du, there is no need to be polite. Please come quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The old Du Yuanxian was helped up by a discerning disciple. Du Yuanxian stood up with his waist bent but not straightened, as if he was obeying orders.
"I'm here in casual clothes. I'm here to ask Master Du for advice. What do you think of these officials?"
Du Yuanxian immediately understood, and then said to the people below, "You all should retreat."
"yes!"
After many officials retreated, only Du Yuanxian was standing by, and Emperor Xin snorted.
"I want to visit the Si Tiantai, and I asked Master Du to guide me."
"Don't disobey me!"
The so-called medical divination and horoscopes are connected with each other, and the Yin and Shang Dynasties attached great importance to sacrifice, so the role of this Tiantai is even more obvious.
In addition to the armillary sphere, which is specialized for visual observation of the stars, there are also a large number of other tools, such as the zodiacal copper, celestial sphere, leaking armillary sphere, etc.
Di Xin didn't know exactly where this knowledge came from, but he was certain that the source of this development was definitely a top-notch knowledge.
Di Xin was just curious, but he had no intention of learning. His real purpose of coming here was to find out what the teaching meant.
"Teacher Du, now that the Gu expedition is about to begin, I am really worried about the safety of Chaoge City."
Du Yuanxian seemed to understand the purpose of Di Xin's visit this time, so he said, "The king is the master of the human race. When the king is alive, there is no power that can control the human race."
Du Yuanxian didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was understood by Emperor Xin. As long as Emperor Xin didn't die, Chanjiao would never establish another human king.
"With Master Du's words, Gu will be satisfied. It's just Gu's son?!"
"I must practice peace of mind in the mountains!"
Di Xin nodded, of course he was referring to Yin Jiao. Sometimes even his own son had to guard against him. Maybe this was the helplessness of the human king.
