Han Shizu

Chapter 325
On Jiashen Day (the tenth day of the Lunar New Year), the imperial driver arrived in Beijing. As usual, Liu Chengyou issued an edict in advance, and the civil and military officials in Tokyo did not need to greet him.Liu Chengyou wanted to return to the palace in a low-key manner, but he couldn't keep a low profile at all. The iron cavalry and the two guards of Longqi circled the city and returned to the camp, but the Fengchen army who drove back to the imperial city still earned enough attention and told the people in Tokyo that the emperor had returned to Beijing. .

Entering the imperial city, passing through the palace gate, the emperor and empress each returned to their own halls, and Liu Chengyou went straight back to the Chuigong Hall.

The Chui Gong Hall is also as usual, and it seems that there is no change that Liu Chengyou doesn't like. It has been almost a year since he governed here, and this hall is also branded with his Liu Chengyou's imprint.

"Officials, what's wrong?" Seeing Liu Chengyou standing in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking up, Zhang Dejun couldn't help stepping forward to inquire about the holy meaning.

Liu Chengyou focused his attention on the plaque on the top, stopped for a long time, raised his finger and ordered: "The general will be the prisoner, change the plaque, and change the name of this hall!"

Regarding the emperor's order, Zhang Dejun did not make any gestures of hesitation, expressing doubts or something, and asked actively: "I don't know the official family, what is the name of the desire to change?"

Liu Chengyou said directly: "The name of the temple is Chongzheng!"

For this temple name, Liu Chengyou had long been disliked in his heart, but the feeling of disgust was the strongest at this moment, so he did it by the way.Liu Chengyou doesn't like the word "hanging arch", the emperor would be much more relaxed if he ruled with an arch, but now is not the time.Although it is only a change of a plaque and two words, it is also a political signal.

For the time being, the palace was in a state of silence and busyness. The servants who accompanied him out of the capital placed the belongings for the imperial use, and their movements were very light, for fear of affecting Liu Chengyou.

Sitting behind the imperial case, Liu Chengyou touched the handle with the dragon pattern that he was already familiar with, and scanned the familiar scene in the palace, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel at ease.Don't look at Liu Chengyou's occasional hypocritical expression of dissatisfaction with being in a deep palace and separated by a high wall, but in fact, only in this palace palace, the feeling of being in the world is more real.

"Officials, the ministers are waiting outside the hall!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou put down a memorial in his hand. Regarding the situation in Youzhou, to put it simply, Zhao Kuangzan, King of Yan, wrote another letter asking for money and food.Liu Chengyou's state of mind is already peaceful enough, Zhao Kuangzan has to work hard, and he doesn't mind, instead he would cry and scream.Wang Zhang's reply has been given, as usual, he was stingy
"Xuan!"

"Yes!"

The officials wanted to meet with the ministers to discuss the state affairs, so Zhang Dejun hurriedly gestured to the few eunuchs who were still making the finishing touches in the palace. The movement of waving his hands was as quick as chasing away mosquitoes.

"Your Majesty is welcome back to Beijing!"

The courtiers who came to pay a visit, regardless of whether they were accompanied or not, were all responsible for peace affairs, and several other generals such as Shang Hongqian, Bai Wenke, and Li Hongxin were also there.

"No courtesy!" Liu Chengyou still treats these civil and military veterans standing at the top of the power of the big man with great courtesy.

"This time Fengxian Emperor's Zi Palace is going south. I am not in the court. It is up to the ministers to uphold the state affairs and deal with urgent matters so that the upper and lower can be in harmony and everything can be done smoothly!" Liu Chengyou said to Wang Zhang, Feng Dao, Zhao Ying, Wang Jun and others who stayed behind. Minister praised.

Just one sentence, let the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers be more relaxed.This trip to Beijing took more than [-] days back and forth. In his absence, the situation in Tokyo is very stable, and the administration of the ministers is not bad. Liu Chengyou has long known about it.

"How about the sacrificial ceremony of the former emperor in Beijing?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Gaozu's spiritual throne has been enshrined in the ancestral temple, and it is still waiting for the temple sacrifice!" Feng Dao said.

For Liu Zhiyuan's funeral, there are some follow-up rituals, but Liu Chengyou is no longer concerned about it.After a little attention, it's over.

Scanning Feng Dao's ministers staying in the capital, he ordered lightly: "During my departure from Beijing, all the memorials approved by the Zhongshumen have been called out, and I will pick a few to check!"

Feng Dao and the others looked at each other. The Son of Heaven, as soon as he returned to court, couldn't wait to start taking power again.Although he was thinking about it, his face remained unchanged, and he answered with arched hands: "Yes!"

As if seeing the strangeness in their hearts, Liu Chengyou slightly raised his sleeves: "When I go south, less mundane affairs will be added to my body, and my joy will be light, which will cause troubles for all the ministers. If I relax for a long time, I'm afraid I will neglect the government!"

"His Majesty is diligent!"

Faced with this compliment, Liu Chengyou looked calm, looked at the ministers again, and said: "All ministries, bureaus and government offices, choose some important things to talk about!"

This is to listen to the government, and the air in the hall is a little more condensed. Wang Zhang got up and said: "Your Majesty, after the beginning of spring, the imperial court issued an order to urge all the prefectures and counties to encourage farming. The ministers and others will select and assign positions. Serving officials and censors, inspecting the Central Plains, according to the inspection report, the spring planting in each state is good!"

"The foundation of the country lies in farming!" Liu Chengyou nodded, expressing his satisfaction: "The country has been in war for years, the land has been barren, and farming has been neglected. So far, there has been a moment of peace. In less than three years, it may be difficult for the people to recover. In the next three to Five years, farming is still the top priority of the big man, the central and local officials, inside and outside, must not relax!"

"Issuing to the local governments, all plows, agricultural plants, and cattle should be actively deployed to ensure that they are fully utilized! The affairs of each state's camps should be fulfilled by the envoys."

"Yes!"

"That's right!" After a short pause, Liu Chengyou looked at the old Fengfeng who had bent a little more, and said, "How is Quyuanli's promotion going?"

The invention and use of Quyuan plow represents the development of farming technology to a high level. It is light and labor-saving, flexible to mobilize, and easy to lift soil, which is greatly beneficial to farming and improves efficiency.

However, since the end of Tang Dynasty, wars have been frequent, and advanced farming tools have been born. However, in terms of promotion, it is really at a backward stage, especially in the northern region.In addition, the technology of Quyuan plow tools has also been continuously improved in tens of hundreds of years. Up to now, it can barely be described as mature.

According to investigation, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the application of "Jiangdong plow" has been very extensive.Prior to this, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to promote Quyuanli in the northern states.Of course, unlike the situation of small paddy fields in the south, it was transferred to the north. According to the characteristics of the land in the north, the design and casting of the plow is also being continuously improved. Since the beginning of last year, the imperial court has been doing this.

Hearing Liu Chengyou's question, Feng Dao thought for a while before answering: "Your Majesty, I have already urged the local governments, but the promotion of the new plow will not be effective in a short while, and the peasants in the head of Guizhou will not be able to replace it in a short time. The house is enough. The court built more than [-] new plows in the past half a year, and they have been distributed to various places outside the camps. The ministers and others intend to build public plows, and rent and sell them to the common people to benefit farmers."

Listening to his introduction, Liu Chengyou nodded, showing no signs of impatience on his face. The promotion of technology is never just a government order. It takes time and even more financial resources.

Liu Chengyou ordered: "Aiming at the promotion, lease and sale of Xinli, draw up a statement, and discuss it with the court, so as to make it effective!"

"Yes!"
