The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 595 Abandoned Prince and Qu Yuanli

In the sixth year of the emperor, Jiaofang Palace.

The palace was gloomy, no matter if it was the maids or the servants, they all had sad faces, and they walked like walking corpses.

This is the empress' bedroom, but Empress Bo is lying on the bed at this time, her face looks haggard.

Her physical condition is very poor, not because of any fatal disease, but because she is depressed and cannot be relieved, which can also be called depression.

As for the cause of the depression, it is naturally the recent rumor that the emperor intends to abolish the empress.

The reason for the abolition of the empress is that the empress has nothing to do on the surface, but in fact it is because after the death of the Empress Dowager Bo, the Bo family has really declined.

As a queen but without a son, this is the greatest original sin.

And without the Empress Dowager Bo as her backing, her relatives Bo's family declined rapidly, and she could no longer hold on to the Queen's position.

Those beauties with sons all wanted to kill her with open guns and dark arrows, coveting the queen's throne.

Faced with such a tragic prospect, Empress Bo was naturally depressed.

You must know that since the first empress, Empress Lu, there has been no empress who has been deposed in the world, and she is probably about to set a precedent.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Da Changqiu of Jiaofang Palace rushed to the Queen and reported, "Queen, Your Majesty has sent someone here."

Empress Bo let out a sad laugh, "It's finally here? Well, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let them go!"

She struggled to get up and wanted to receive the order, even if she was abolished as a queen, she couldn't lose face.

When you see the Empress Dowager Bo, you must complain to her!

"Queen~~~"

Da Changqiu hastily stopped, "Your Majesty just sent someone to inform the matter, not to pass on an order."

"Ok?"

Now it's Empress Bo's turn to be stunned, "What's the matter?"

Da Changqiu showed joy, "Prince Liu Rong, was abolished as Prince and retired as King of Linjiang!"

As soon as this remark came out, Empress Bo turned pale with shock, "The crown prince was abolished?!"

But after being shocked, her originally pale complexion showed joy, "Okay, okay! Li Ji, you have today too!"

Since Liu Rong was established as the prince, Li Ji, who was already arrogant, became even more domineering, even in front of the queen, she didn't show any good looks.

And before there were ministers who said that "the son is more expensive than the mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son." "Shangzuo, please seal Li Ji as queen.

Although Wang Zhi was behind this incident, Empress Bo didn't know the reason, and the hatred naturally fell on Li Ji.

Li Ji's character is really indescribable, just her mouth is really the enemy of everyone in the palace!
Hearing such good news, Empress Bo suddenly felt no headache, no soreness in her waist, and no weakness in her legs. Even her originally pale face turned red.

Without him, I am happy.

"Good thing, really good thing."

Empress Bo, who always looked sad, showed a rare smile.

After laughing, he frowned slightly, "There is also Wang Meiren, I must live, and I must see that they are all unlucky!"

The matter of abolishing the crown prince had huge repercussions both in the court and among the people.

You must know that Liu Rong has left his name in the history books as the prince who has not been deposed since Zulong proclaimed himself emperor.

Fusu was not clearly established as the prince, but he was the eldest son valued by the first emperor, and he was regarded as a prince by the ruling and opposition parties.

He was not abolished, but killed by Jiaozhao.

So Liu Rong was the first official prince to be deposed.

Although the officials in the court had been psychologically prepared, when things really happened, there was still an uproar, and it was inevitable to speak for Liu Rong.

These people are not saying how much they appreciate Liu Rong, but to maintain order and tradition.

In fact, ever since Li Ji scolded the emperor as an 'old dog', almost everyone knew that such a day would come.

No matter what, the emperor will not let Li Ji become the queen mother.

If that's the case, none of the sons of the emperor and concubines will survive!
Li Ji, who was in love with her brain, not only harmed her son Liu Rong, but also killed herself.

There are also many folks who are complaining about the prince Liu Rong, thinking that the prince has nothing wrong and should not be abolished.

Most of these people are Confucian scholars, especially Guliang sect.

What they advocate is the order of respect and inferiority, and the inheritance of etiquette and law.

In their view, the abolition of the prince is a major event that affects the overall situation.

In reality, however, the impact was not as great as imagined.

At least in the palace, from the empress dowager down to the beauties, they were all secretly delighted and even secretly supported.

There is no way, Li Ji has offended too many people.

Especially Princess Guantao, who had been divorced face to face, laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she burst into tears.

She also specially entered the palace to find Li Ji to show off and add insult to injury.

"Offended me, and still want to be a queen, a queen mother? Go ahead and dream!"

The wind and rain in Chang'an City did not affect Li Yunze who was far away in Zhongshan Country.

While he is busy with spring plowing, he is busy with large-scale minting of gold coins and copper coins.

The Zhongshan Kingdom has basically completed the ironization of farm tools for farmers. Not only that, but also dumped iron farm tools on a large scale to all parts of the Han Dynasty through caravans.

After training enough farming cattle, Li Yunze finally got out Qu Yuanli, the big killer of farming.

I didn't do it before because it would be difficult for this thing to work without a cow dragging it, and it would consume a lot of iron.

And Li Yunze attacked the Xiongnu tribe twice, and captured tens of thousands of cattle, more than [-]% of them were successfully trained as farming cattle, which gave him the motivation to drag Qu Yuanli.

The cattle on the grasslands are basically beef cattle, because nomadic tribes hardly farm, so naturally they don't need to farm cattle.

The captured cattle have to go through strict training before they can be transformed into farming cattle. It doesn’t mean that they can work in the fields after they are captured. There is no such thing. Uh, except in movies, TV dramas and novels .

Just like millions of troops besieging a small village, it is not impossible for beef cattle in movies, TV dramas and novels to be able to plow the land.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Ou and others came to the edge of the field and witnessed Qu Yuanli's astonishing work efficiency compared to Zhili's, and they were all full of praise, "This is a god!"

The working efficiency of the curved plow is at least three times that of the straight plow.

In other words, when a farmer plows in spring, he can reclaim several times more acres.

Far from being exhausted like in the later generations, the land of the Dahan is far from exhausted, but there are countless places that can be reclaimed.

The reason why not all of them have been reclaimed is because of lack of manpower and material resources.

After all, it takes a lot of energy and material resources to cultivate raw land, and if the cultivated land is not carefully maintained, it will be abandoned as wasteland in a few years.

Insufficient manpower has always been an important problem.

As for some people saying why don't they have more children?

This remark is as disgusting as 'why not eat minced meat'.

Having a child is a matter of raising a child, and you have to pay for food, clothing, housing, and transportation yourself. Who can afford a child when you can't afford it yourself?
Compared with the advocacy of later generations, ancient times were much more radical in this regard.

For example, it is pediatrics to directly match the widow Lalang, and what is even more ruthless is that the unmarried women in the family are directly charged with high poll taxes to force you to marry.

The so-called proposals of some experts are nothing more than picking up the wisdom of the ancients.

"Masters."

Li Yunze, whose trouser legs were rolled up to his knees, signaled to everyone, "Can this thing be effective?"

"Your Majesty."

Gongsun Hong, who had just plowed two acres of land himself, shook the soil from his feet and said, "This thing is very useful, and we should try our best to promote it."

"Ah."

Li Yunze nodded, and looked at Ji An, "Since everyone agrees, there will be servants in charge of supervising production, and we will transfer it to all counties so that it can be used during spring plowing."

"One should be used for expenses." Li Yunze turned his head to look at Yan Yi, "It's all paid by the private residence."

Ji An and Yan Yi saluted together, "Here."

Li Yunze once again instructed Gongsun Hong, "Inner History, you will be fully responsible for this matter. Make sure that the people in the middle school reclaim more land during spring plowing and complete the crop rotation as much as possible."

"Here~~~"

Li Yunze vigorously promoted the rotation of crops in Zhongshan, and advocated that the common people divide the land into two parts.

One grows staple food, and the other grows pastures such as alfalfa.

After the autumn harvest, the land where the staple food is harvested is planted with soybeans.

Wait until the second year, and then rotate the cultivation.

For alfalfa and soybeans, the fertile fields are second to none, because the middle-earth fields at this time are still very fertile without the lack of nutrients caused by continuous reclamation for thousands of years.

The main reason for getting these is to feed livestock.

It's not poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese. These poultry can be raised by themselves, and there is no need to take care of them.

The main feeders are cattle, sheep and dogs.

Among them, the most important ones are cattle and sheep.

Li Yunze has always sneered at the so-called saying that Westerners have good genes, so they are tall.

The Westerners who came to Daming during the Ming Dynasty were shorter and smaller than each other, much worse than Daming.

The fundamental reason why the cows became tall and big later on was that they became rich and could afford beef and milk, which had nothing to do with genes or something.

There is no reason why China cannot do what the West can do.

Isn't it just beef, mutton and milk, what's so great, just raise it!

Li Yunze strongly encourages the breeding industry, and soybeans and alfalfa exist as fodder.

He also planned to wait until the next time he went out of the fortress, find a random Hun tribe to kill, and then take out the corn seeds and say that they were seized from this tribe.

With sufficient feed supply, there is no shortage of beef, mutton and milk.

He is also determined to win the prairie, which will be the back garden of the big man in the future, raising millions or even tens of millions of livestock for the big man to improve the physical fitness of the people of the big man.

He wants the Muyang dogs to take a good look at them, the Chinese Han'er is much stronger than the Angsa's!
"Your Majesty."

Yan Yi, who is in charge of income and expenditure, said, "Quyuanli consumes too much iron, and the income may not be enough to meet the expenditure."

"It's okay."

Li Yunze waved his hand, "The insufficient part will be paid by the palace. Our Zhongshan State-owned Foundry Bureau is not short of money."

Everyone laughed, it was really a joy to be able to make money by yourself.

While joking, a long motorcade appeared on the official road not far away.

There are dozens of people-carrying carriages and Han army guards around, with extraordinary momentum.

"The master is back."

The sharp-eyed master father Yan saw Shi Fen's banner at a glance, and then thought of the letter he sent earlier, and looked at Li Yunze with a beaming smile.

"My lord, the beauties sent by the emperor have arrived."
