Chapter 1095: The two are teachers, Guan Zhong has no choice but to promote new grains
"Although the prince's mentor is a family matter, it is also a state matter. I can't interfere with my safety. Everything should be decided by your majesty!"
After a moment of thinking, Bai Ruolan finally decided to retreat and kick the ball to Wang Yu.
Although the crown prince is determined now, Wang Yu is still in his prime. Bai Ruolan knows very well that there will be many turmoils in the future crown prince, and she must not rush for the moment and end up passive.
Furthermore, he did not think that Wang Yu would randomly assign someone to be Wang Yuan's teacher.
"What do you think, my beloved concubine, of Kong Ming?" Wang Yu said thoughtfully.
After hearing this name, Bai Ruolan was very surprised. After a while, she nodded gently.
After all, he had been married to Wang Yu for several years, and he still knew some things. Among the many civil and military personnel under Wang Yu, the two most valued by Wang Yu were Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang.
Guan Zhong was based in Hebei, which was the most important place for Wang Yu. Zhuge Liang admired Dongyi's seal and controlled Dongyi's military and political power.
When talking about Zhuge Liang, Wang Yu never hesitated to praise him, saying that he was a right-hand man and a loyal minister. These are all basic comments.
It can be seen that Wang Yu attaches great importance to Zhuge Liang.
Although Wang Yu never said it explicitly, Bai Ruolan could guess that Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang were two people, and they were Wang Yu's candidates for prime minister.
Having a future prime minister as a teacher for her son would naturally be of great benefit to his son's future, and she was naturally very happy.
"Okay, but Kong Ming lives far away in Dongyi, so Wang Wenbo can temporarily serve as the official history officer of Prince Yan's Mansion in the fourth rank and teach Prince Yan on his behalf."
"After another two years, Kong Ming returns to the capital and becomes a disciple again!" Wang Yu nodded.
Zhuge Liang is indeed the best candidate in his mind, not only for his own ability, but also for political purposes. Precisely because he is the prime minister candidate in Wang Yu's mind, Zhuge Liang should
Become this Prince Master!
However, from Wang Yu's words, many ministers heard some hidden meanings.
I'm afraid that not long after, the nominal Dongyi small court will cease to exist.
However, after everyone thought about it, it was indeed a good time.
Dongyi is at war with the Kingdom of the Sun, and it is said that the battle between the two sides is quite fierce. At this time, even if it is the last fig leaf, the nominal small court will be removed, and Xiping Road will officially fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty and become the Han Dynasty.
By governing the official seventh path, possible abnormalities can also be minimized.
After completing this matter, with Zhuge Kongming's achievements over the years, it was indeed time to return to the court.
"Mr. Wenbo is a pure and filial man, quick in writing, erudite and respectful in his actions. However, Mr. Wenbo, the head of the Palace of Prince Yan, has wronged Mr. Wenbo!" Bai Ruolan said with joy in her heart, but at the same time she was a little humble.
One by one, this is already the best situation for Bai Ruolan and her son.
Although Wang Pu's status is far inferior to that of Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang, and not as high as that of Xun Yu and Gao Jiong, he, Zhang Xuan, and Jia Xu are often accompanied by Wang Yu to advise him on matters.
The only pity is that Wang Pu is a little inferior in background, and he is one of the few people under Wang Yu who is purely from ordinary people.
Apart from himself, it is difficult to give Wang Yuan extra help.
In this regard, compared to Zhuge Liang, he is still far behind. Although Zhuge Liang is not from a top wealthy family, he is also from a noble family. Of course, after all, he is not in Da Cang, so there is no need for Zhuge's family. However, Zhuge Liang is here
He has a good reputation among the Confucian sect, which in itself is a huge resource.
In the lobby, Wang Pu, who was enjoying the banquet, turned dark at this time. He really didn't want to get involved in these things!
However, as the Chief of History of Prince Yan’s Palace, he teaches Prince Yan’s studies on his behalf. It is difficult not to participate in this!
But now that you have spoken, can he still refuse?
If you refuse at this time, you will not only make Wang Yu unhappy, but also slap King Yan in the face. He will definitely become a thorn in the side of King Yan and his family in the future.
"Your Majesty, Zhuge Kongming's talent is known to all the world! It is really gratifying and congratulatory to be the tutor of King Yan! However, since your Majesty has ascended the throne today, it would be better to have a few more happy events and choose a tutor for the prince!"
Huangfu Wuyouzhu stood up with a walking stick and said.
When Zhuge Kongming was still an official in Yanbei, he and Guan Zhong were both known as Zhongliang for a while. Although the main force of Hebei Province was not around, he still repulsed the troops of Huangfu Mingzhao's court several times. Zhuge Kongming's contribution was
It’s a must.
Pei Dongyi was in charge of the military and political power of Dongyi. He was now even more powerful and had Wang Yu's trust. In recent years, it was even heard that this person managed Dongyi in an orderly manner.
Wang Yu chose such a person as King Yan's master, Huangfu Wuyou had to worry a little.
After Huangfu Wuyou stepped forward, Guan Zhong couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He was full of political attributes. When he heard that Zhuge Liang had become the master of King Yan, he knew that he would not be able to avoid the next encounter.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard, "Yiwu is a famous official in the world, and the prince's mentor is related to the court. Among all the nobles in this house, who else has the position of prince and grandmaster besides Yiwu?"
Many people present were looking at their noses and hearts at that time, and pretended not to have seen this incident. Guan Zhong was the only one who had no choice but to come out to accept the order and thank him.
Prince and Grand Master, this was an official position from the first rank, but Guan Zhong was not happy at all.
Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are the three masters. They are the first rank, young master, young master, and Shaobao are the three orphans. The first rank is in charge of assisting the emperor, managing yin and yang, and promoting the country. Their duties are extremely important. There is no fixed number of personnel and no special professors.
The prince’s grand master, the crown prince’s tutor, and the prince’s Taibao all serve as first-rank masters to guide the prince with morality and to protect him. The prince’s young master, the crown prince’s young master, and the prince’s minor protector serve as the second-rank masters to observe the morality of the three princes.
And what is the teaching?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hey!
Although he also doesn't want to participate in these things, he still has to participate!
Obviously, His Majesty wants to check and balance!
Checks and balances for the future left and right prime ministers!
All emperors in the past dynasties needed to learn the technique of checks and balances if they wanted to sit securely under their buttocks. Emperors needed the art of balance.
From ancient times to the present, the forces in the court need to be balanced, the local and central governments need to be balanced, and the imperial power and the prime minister's power also need to be balanced.
Once the balance cannot be maintained, it is an imbalance of power, which means instability, indicating the need to re-divide power. If the power situation in the court is unbalanced, it will fall into party politics, such as the Niu Li Party Government in the Tang Dynasty, and the Donglin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.
fight.
When the balance between local and central government is broken, it can be as simple as paralyzing a province or a place, or as serious as raising troops to attack the central government or sending generals from the central government to lead troops to suppress it, just like the Anshi Rebellion and the disaster of vassal towns.
The imbalance between the imperial power and the power of the prime minister is called the prime minister, but in reality he is a hidden king, similar to Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, or the "king and horse, sharing the world" of the Jin Dynasty.
Although Zhao Anling is the prime minister, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he will not be the prime minister for a few years.
In a few years, the world will be dominated by newcomers! And the two most popular people to influence the Prime Minister are Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang. A prince and grand master, and a master of Yan Wang, can naturally form a balance between the two.
The most important thing is that both of them are extremely restrained people. In addition, the prince and prince are still young, and Wang Yu is at his peak. The throne will not change for at least thirty years. While acting as a check and balance,
I am not afraid that the fight between these two people will cause chaos in the court.
In fact, Wang Yu thought more.
Balancing the future left and right is indeed an important factor. Secondly, it also has a sense of worry. He really doesn't want to see his children fighting and fighting each other, but he can't really let them go all the way.
Go with the flow.
Zhuge Liang and Guan Zhong are indeed extremely smart and restrained. Because of this, everything will be within the range that Wang Yu can accept.
Furthermore, this is also a kind of balance for Huangfu Jingya.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In the future, with the collapse of the small imperial court of Hexi Province and the power of the Huangfu lineage such as Prince Jing and Prince Wei, there will definitely be no shortage of Huangfu's leftovers, old and young.
Bai Ruolan's father was the former Minister of Rites, and her mother was the daughter of the Sixth Family. The most important thing is that she was originally the main wife. No matter from which aspect, she is the only person who can balance Huangfu Jingya in the harem now.
The most important thing in the emperor's mind is the method of balance, and the method of balance focuses on the method of supporting the weak and restraining the strong. Even though Wang Yu did not want to do some things, he had to do them.
In addition to this, another purpose is to help his reform cause.
Sure enough, Wang Yu's goal is on track to be realized.
After hearing that Wang Yu actually asked Guan Zhong to become the prince's teacher, Huangfu Wuyou also retired happily.
Guan Zhong, as the leader of the Four Heroes of Legalism, his reputation in the world and his status in Wang Yu's power will only be above Zhuge Liang. If the prince has this person to assist him in the future, the distance from that position will be smoother.
But soon, Huangfu Wuyou thought that now, Guan Zhong was taking care of the reform. This kind of thing was destined to offend people, and it would offend a large number of people. In the future, it would definitely affect the prince.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Wuyou's heart began to rise again. He felt that he should do something. The Huangfu family still had considerable foundation, and, for various reasons, the Huangfu family who did not want to be associated with Prince Jing
There are also many people.
There are many people like Huangfu Wuyou who, after the winner was decided in the Siming Incident, had the idea of not providing help in times of need, but also adding icing on the cake.
Of course, it is impossible for this group of people to associate with Prince Jing!
"Your Majesty, spring planting is coming soon, should we promote corn seeds in the north?" Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe rarely took the initiative to speak!
Hey, the main reason is that he quickly wanted to get over this topic!
Now that the candidates for the Prince's Grand Master and the Prince's Master have been decided, the rest of them can live in peace. Let this topic pass quickly and avoid the possibility of another Prince's Grand Tutor or Prince's Taibao appearing later.
There are some issues that Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang can just deal with, and the rest of them don't want to get involved.
"Oh, Prime Minister Zuo, how were the corn crops last year?" Wang Yu asked, thinking of Zhao Anling.
In the lottery after the last summons, although corn seeds were obtained, they were not planted on a large scale.
There are differences between the other world and Blue Star. If we rashly plant on a large scale, but find that the land in the North is not suitable for corn seeds, wouldn't this be Sparta?
Besides, even if he wanted to plant it on a large scale, his ministers would not really agree to allow this group of completely unfamiliar crops to be planted on a large scale. In case of any accident, doing so would
, there is no error tolerance at all.
Therefore, it is necessary to select several areas for pilot projects in each area under his control!
"The corn seeds brought by your Majesty were only in April and May last year, but the yield was nearly twice the wheat yield of the same acres in the North. I believe that corn seeds can be introduced step by step in the North.
"When he said this, Zhao Anling's tone became a little excited.
No matter what era we were in feudal society, the food problem was a huge problem.
Before the Great Cang was in chaos, according to statistics, there were hundreds of millions of people in the Great Cang, and the imperial army, border troops, and the various government troops totaled about 4 million soldiers and horses.
Twenty to thirty common people support one soldier, which does not sound like a large ratio.
However, just because they are raising soldiers, it does not mean that the cost of raising a soldier is exactly the same.
The Champion Battalion, the Black Cavalry, and the Flame Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the three most famous cavalry in the world. The cost required to raise ordinary soldiers and horses is almost three to four hundred thousand.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the cost of soldiers and horses such as the Panshi Heavy Infantry and the Divine Gong Battalion is not comparable to these three cavalry, it is still several times the cost of ordinary soldiers and horses.
.
Coupled with the large-scale ordinary cavalry in Zhendong, Zhenbei, and the Forbidden Army, the cost of one cavalry is equivalent to several ordinary infantry under normal circumstances. And those heavy cavalry can even be compared to several ordinary infantry.
Ordinary cavalry.
Compared with the number of Da Cang's people, the number of his soldiers and horses sounds large, but in fact it does not reach a limit, but in fact, it is because Da Cang pursues quality rather than quantity.
It was only in recent years, during the years of civil strife, that the old soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the quality was reduced. Since the various forces could not guarantee the quality, they began to consider the quantity again.
Therefore, with the emergence of corn, especially after Zhao Anling personally ordered people to find several fields in Yanbei, Yannan, and Hebei for experiments, he checked its yield. When he just received the data, he continued to test it for several months.
Didn't even fall asleep.
Wheat is a cold-resistant plant that is suitable for growing in colder climate conditions, so it is the main product of the North. However, its growth cycle is long and it usually takes 8-9 months to mature.
But this corn has a growth cycle of only 4-5 months, and its adaptability is especially better than wheat.
Although it will not completely replace wheat, if it is widely promoted in the north, it will definitely greatly enhance their soft power.
"In that case, we will start to promote it to Yanbei, Yannan, Hebei and other Taoists."
Corn can not only be eaten by humans and used as one of the military rations in the future, but it can also be used as one of the feeds for war horses. Moreover, not only corn, but corn leaves can also be used to feed war horses.
As long as corn can be promoted locally on a large scale, it will definitely improve their war potential and alleviate food pressure.
