Poor family mother and son

Censor Zhongcheng said nothing.

First of all, he doesn't know what the censors under his command are doing today, but impeachment is due to the fault of officials, and it is their duty to assist the emperor to rectify Gangji, and they didn't say anything too much, so they didn't stop them.

Secondly, Liu Shangshu has already said that when discussing politics in the court, don't overwhelm the host with other things.

Liu Ju organized some discipline just now, so he stopped talking.

The emperor asked about the disaster situation in various places, and he had privately asked him to prepare 30 taels of silver for emergencies, so he had better not direct the blame on himself, and he still missed the target of 8 taels!

As a result, no one spoke again, and the scene became cold.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: he can't do business, nonsense No.1!
Thinking of Chu Qing’s letter to the secret investigation department’s report, the emperor quoted a paragraph, saying: “Agriculture is the foundation of the country, don’t make assumptions about farming. People often say that growing crops depends on the sky and eating. Crop handle?"

silence.

Who is free to visit those people for what?
In the early days of their official career, when they were magistrates in a small place, they would go to the fields from time to time to "persuade farmers and mulberry", but now they have finally racked their brains and sharpened their heads to squeeze into the capital. Who will suffer from that again?
It is estimated that none of them know as much about farming as their wives.

Every once in a while, their wives will ask the head of their own Zhuangzi to come over to give a report and summary, to understand what is a good harvest, a bad harvest, and the reasons; Afterwards, the house will be in charge."

The emperor also drooped his eyelids, and simply stopped looking at them, watching them making trouble!Out of sight is pure.

What about the court meeting, how can you be silent?
At this time, Prime Minister Tan Mian had to stand up and organize a speech: "According to reports from various places, the drought is generally severe this year, especially in the eastern prefectures of Daxuan, followed by the northern part;
However, there are few rivers in the north, and it is spring sowing season. Farmers cannot water the seeds in time after sowing, and most of the seedlings will not survive. The situation is even more serious. "

It's easy to start with someone.

All the ministers began to "talk freely", some said that the problem was more serious in the south, there were too many paddy fields in the south, which could not be irrigated, and after all, the north was mostly planted with millet and wheat, so it was relatively better;
It is said that in order to facilitate tax payment, many areas in the north have switched to rice cultivation, but the situation is not optimistic and so on.

At this time, the censors became active again——

"My minister impeached Qi Guiran, the prefect of Jizhou. The drought is so severe that this person does not supervise the cultivation of food crops. Instead, he still allows the people to plant soybeans wantonly."

"My minister impeached Song Tingshan, the prefect of Xinlun Prefecture, for not urging grain planting in the face of drought, but doing poultry farming instead!"

Yes, Song Tingshan has recently been developing the breeding industry.

He has long been optimistic about the breeding farm opened by Lao Yu and Zhao Xin on the racecourse.

Lao Yu and Lao Zhao felt that Chu Qing’s suggestion of raising poultry and livestock was very good, and felt that using the resources around the racecourse to engage in a "sideline business" was very "money-worthy", so they raised pigs, chickens and ducks.

Coupled with the fact that every family in the [-] villages in the north of Xinlun Prefecture raises a few sheep, it can be said that animal husbandry in northern Xinlun Prefecture is much more developed than agriculture.

Song Tingshan was the first to receive letters from Chu Qing to the old leaders in various places, because the state government in Xinlun Prefecture was the closest to Yibin Mansion.

So in recent days, Song Tingshan has started to promote the breeding of chickens and ducks across the state.Both are animal husbandry, and the development of any of them is more effective than the development of agriculture.

It is really that the geographical environment of Xinlun State is not suitable for large-scale planting of crops.

He also copied the contents of Chu Qing's letter and sent it to his brother-in-law as soon as possible for Xu Guangze's reference.

Although the wording of locust plague was not explicitly mentioned in the letter from Chu Qing, it did express the concern that the severe drought might trigger other chain reactions.

Based on Song Tingshan's understanding of Chu Qing, although he didn't take these worries seriously, he regarded Chu Qing's reminder as a "potential cooperation project" proposed by Chu Qing.

Cooperating with Chu Qing, he has never suffered a loss, but can make political achievements, why not do it?

And his brother-in-law Xu Guangze is also his help and partner on his official career, so he should be reminded.

Unlike Song Tingshan, Xu Guangze directly regards Chu Qing as a "mascot", just like bats and gourds represent "blessings", and has almost "superstitious" trust in Chu Qing.

So when Xu Guangze received the letter from his brother-in-law, he took a tour of the whole county, not only "persuading farmers to grow mulberries", but also "persuading them to cultivate crops". When he received the letter from Chu Qing, all counties and townships had already The distribution of chicks and ducks has been completed.

On the other hand, Qi Zhizhou, the current Jizhou governor, did not take it as seriously as Song Tingshan after receiving the letter, but Song Tingshan followed suit, but Qi Zhizhou hesitated to do anything.

Qi Zhizhou thinks that this year's drought can be alleviated around the Dragon Boat Festival, after all, it rains every year during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Therefore, he believes that it is most important to ensure the yield of soybeans, which is the most basic and important "economic crop" in Jizhou.

Now, above the court, several of Chu Qing's "old leaders" have been impeached by Yushitai.But no one impeached Xu Guangze, the official was too small to be seen.

Besides, with Qi Zhizhou standing in the way, it is enough to impeach Qi Zhizhou.

Hu Hengqiu, who was standing in the corner of the palace gate, took out a small folded piece of paper from his sleeve. This is the secret message he just received from the country of Vos.

Hu Hengqiu generally does not participate in the early court unless he thinks it is necessary.

Today he felt it was necessary, because yesterday he accompanied the emperor in the imperial study and listened to him moaning all afternoon.

When he was going out just now, the latest secret report came. Before he had time to read it, he stuffed it in his sleeve pocket. Anyway, it was the home of the officials now, so he simply took out the paper to have a look.

Yo ho!This fourth prince of Voss is very restless!What's the matter, do you think the officials can get rid of Chu Qing by impeaching him?Killing Chu Qing will solve the food problem?
cut!Who do you think is the meaning of whether it is clear to sell you food or not?The emperor doesn't allow it, so she can sell it casually?
Think you can be the next king of Voss by solving the food problem?
It is true that King Zuo Xian is not powerful enough now, but he is holding on to Chu Qing's thigh tightly!

Hu Hengqiu mocked in his heart while watching, if it wasn't because he was in the palace, he would have ridiculed a long time ago.

During the national war, King Zuoxian died directly at the border. That King Zuoxian was the elder brother of Queen Voss.

Therefore, King Voss did not establish his son as King Zuo Xian, but used this brother-in-law.

After his death, King Voss was still grateful for his bravery, and gave the position of King Zuo Xian to his younger brother Suonanga. After all, the queen's mother family helped him the most in his rule.

As for the sons, hehe, except for the Ninth Prince, King Voss is not very optimistic about the others. These sons are too selfish.

It's a pity that the Ninth Prince died early.
