Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1172

(Tang Zhiyu is cared for by the widowed aunt and cousin, not the widowed sister-in-law and nephew. The seniority is wrong. The previous chapter has been revised)
The capital, the Old Summer Palace, and the Palace of Qinzheng.

Looking at the various impeachments against Tang Zhiyu, Zhili chief envoy, Yongzheng snorted coldly.The emperor of Zhili guards Su Jingji, he is not deaf or blind, so he knows why Tang Zhiyu stabbed the hornet's nest.

He picked up another booklet on the upper right of the copybook, which was the record of Tang Zhiyu's life on the sticky stick.

After reading these, even the emperor Yongzheng would like to praise Tang Zhiyu for his respectable virtues.

It's ridiculous that those people think that they can deceive him by turning right and wrong.

If there is no sticky place, I am afraid that I will really believe those people's nonsense.

Yongzheng squinted his eyes, thinking about how to deal with this matter, then a servant came in to report, the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother joined hands to see him.

"Biography!" Yongzheng said.

He read the scriptures all morning, and got a little tired from sitting, so he got up and left the throne.

The thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother have arrived, and they respectfully greet Sheng An.

Yongzheng waved his hands, called the two to get up, and ordered them to come out with him.

Logically speaking, since Shengjia was stationed in the Old Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace should have been overhauled long ago.After all, the previous specification was Wang Yuan, which was far from the layout of Huang Yuan.

However, Yongzheng refuted all the proposals for the overhaul of the Old Summer Palace in the past few years because of the lack of sufficient treasury, and only ordered people to upgrade the place where political affairs were handled to a palace;

Even so, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to allow the emperor to live in the "Wang's Garden" wronged for a long time, and vacated the surrounding area of ​​Yuanmingyuan, and assigned it to Yuanmingyuan.

Brother Sixteen's visit this time is a routine matter, and he once again asked for the construction of the Imperial Garden.

If the emperor does not make a northern tour, the Mongolian princes outside the Great Wall will take turns to visit the capital. North Korea and Ryukyu often send envoys to Beijing to entertain foreign vassals in the Old Summer Palace, which will hurt the dignity of the court.

While walking, Yongzheng listened to Brother Sixteen explaining his intentions.

He frowned slightly, with some hesitation on his face.

In the past few years, every time they met with the feudal princes inside and outside, they were mostly in the palace.Even if they catch up with Yuanmingyuan, they will make a special trip to Changchunyuan for the sake of the court.

An emperor, tossing and tossing around for a few envoys from both inside and outside the domain, is also losing his status.

The Thirteenth Elder Brother was listening and understood Yongzheng's concerns, so he followed Sixteenth Elder Brother's words and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the matter of repairing the garden can no longer be delayed. Now the Household Department is not as rich as it was two years ago. This garden repair cannot be completed in a year or two."

My two younger brothers, one is in charge of the internal treasury and the other is in charge of the national treasury. Since both of them said that they can repair gardens, Yongzheng's brows relaxed and he said: "There is no need to build a lot, just pick up the important places and build one or two gardens." right there."

The thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother knew that he was frugal, so they all bowed down and agreed.

While speaking, several people walked to a piece of imperial field.

Yongzheng was somewhat proud, pointed to Yutian and said, "Look at this!"

"Huh? Is this wheat?" Elder Sixteen bent down, looked at the already green wheat seedlings, and said in surprise, "Isn't this sown after the vernal equinox and harvested around the summer heat? How can you look at this wheat? It's already green now Heading?"

Brother Thirteen was beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, could this be the winter wheat that Cao Yong mentioned?"

Yongzheng nodded and said: "It's exactly this thing. I heard Cao Yong mention it last year, so I asked him to send some seeds to Beijing. The seeds were sown in early September last year, and several agricultural officials recorded the growth here every day. The situation. I heard from them that this wheat can be harvested around the Dragon Boat Festival, which is two months earlier than ordinary wheat. In the past, when wheat was harvested in the wheat field, we could only add more cabbage and radishes; Then we can plant another crop.”

The thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother looked at the half-acre wheat field in front of them, and couldn't take their eyes off it.

seeing is believing.

Even if they didn't have anything to do with Nongsang, looking at the green wheat in front of them made them feel a little bit happy.

"In this way, the capital can be like the south of the Yangtze River, planting two crops a year! Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, God bless the Qing Dynasty, so that the people will no longer suffer from lack of food." Elder Thirteen has turned around, Kneeling down towards Yongzheng, unable to hide his excitement, he said.

The atmosphere was very warm, and the sixteenth elder brother also knelt beside the thirteenth elder brother, jokingly said: "The former emperor promoted rice planting in the north, and the emperor tried to grow winter wheat. The king is benevolent, and the people are very lucky."

Yongzheng supported the thirteenth elder brother with one hand, and the sixteenth elder brother with the other, and said loudly: "When I went out of Beijing in the early years, when I saw the people starving to death on the side of the road, I once said to myself, one day, I will let them all die." Feel the kindness of the imperial court. The weather and rain in Liaodong, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi are more suitable for the growth of all things than the capital. If the capital can grow this wheat, those provinces should be able to grow this wheat. In addition, the promising corn With sweet potatoes, within a few years, the north can be self-sufficient and does not need to rely entirely on the food from the south."

When it came to the end, he was a little moved: "I dare not ask myself to make great achievements and achieve prosperity like Huang Ama. I only hope that the people's lives will be better. I am content as an emperor."

The thirteenth elder brother showed reverence, and said: "The emperor is benevolent and benevolent, eliminating hunger and suffering for the people. Although this is not as vigorous as opening the frontier and splitting the land, it is also a holy act. It will surely leave a name in history and be admired by all generations. "

Brother Sixteen is not good at staying out of the matter, and his mouth is full of praises.

As he spoke, his mood was a little complicated.

Aside from personal virtues, this emperor brother of mine is indeed a wise king who is diligent in government and loves the people.After four years of ascending the throne, the concubines and concubines in the harem were all wives and concubines in hidden mansions. In the first year of Yongzheng's draft, most of the beautiful women who stayed in the palace were given to the elder brothers in the palace. The emperor was unlucky.

Except for the concubines and concubines who were enshrined in the hidden mansion after he ascended the throne, Yongzheng only had a few court ladies, and the one with the highest title was only permanent, not even a nobleman.

If the emperor is really a womanizer, what's the point of adding a few concubines?If he is not lecherous, there will be a lawsuit?
Brother Sixteen couldn't help but slander, could it be that this is "the favorite of love"?All of a sudden, the original distaste was also reduced a lot.

Hearing the words of praise from the two younger brothers, Yongzheng showed a bit of self-mockery on his face, and said: "Holy virtue? A benevolent king? If I don't write me as a heinous tyrant, I have to thank the Bodhisattva. Look at those censors earlier, listen to straight waist, It's just a love name, but it's not contemptible. This time I impeached Tang Zhiyu, I have seen what it means to 'point at a deer as a horse' and 'much ado about nothing'!"

Speaking of this, he feels a little bit of sympathy for Tang Zhiyu...

Qingyuan, Governor's Mansion.

It took less than half a month for Cao Yong to see the reply for Tang Zhiyu's defense, and behind it was the imperial pen Zhu Zhu: "Got it. Tang Zhiyu is diligent on duty, and you must not slack off. In addition, I want to work in Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong. I want to plant winter wheat in a few places, and I still need to pay attention to the seeds."

When Cao Yong saw the imperial approval, he was relieved first.

The word "diligence" is nothing to look at, but Cao Yong knows that what Yongzheng loves most is the diligent courtiers.He himself is the master who does everything by himself, and he is exhausted when he sees a few princes who are useful, and a few important ministers he admires are all doing their jobs with their lives.

Tang Zhiyu, this is the holy eye, and the future is promising.

Cao Yong put down the booklet and immediately called someone to the chief envoy's Yamen to invite Tang Zhiyu to come and discuss the matter.

It is now the first ten days of April, and there is less than a month left before the wheat harvest. The time to convey the place and harvest the wheat seeds is relatively hasty.

This winter wheat should be planted no later than mid-September.

From harvesting the wheat seeds to transporting the wheat seeds to various places, it only takes a few months. If you don't plan carefully, you will delay the time and miss this autumn's crop of wheat.

The chief envoy's yamen was not far from the governor's office, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Tang Zhiyu arrived sweating.

In the past two months, Tang Zhiyu's life has not been easy.

It's not that he's afraid of other people's dirty water, and he doesn't take those reputations to heart.He was just uncomfortable, because of him, his aunt and several cousins ​​were involved.

The other two cousins ​​have won Jinshi, one is the head of the Six Departments, and the other is the magistrate of Shandong County. He was implicated and stigmatized, which made him feel guilty.

Seeing that Tang Zhiyu was sweating, Cao Yong was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly asked someone to watch tea, and said: "It's noon, the sun is full, so what if Yigong walks a few steps slowly? Take two sips of tea and take it easy."

Tang Zhiyu heaved a sigh of relief, thanked Cao Yong, took two sips of tea, and said: "The humble official is impatient... The lord called for a temporary call, and I think I have something important to order, and the humble official dare not delay."

Cao Yong gestured with the booklet in his hand, and said: "The booklet I published a few days ago mentioned farming. The emperor has Zhu approved that he wants to promote planting in Jinluyu and other places to buy in winter, and ordered Zhili to keep wheat seeds. "

When it comes to political affairs, Tang Zhiyu's face is a bit solemn.

The wheat seeds in the three provinces are not a small number.His family is a scholarly family, but he has also read agricultural books and worked in the farmland.It is not the harvested wheat that can be sown.

Wheat seeds must be selected and used in order to grow good wheat.

Next, the two discussed the matter of sending people down to select seeds.

This is the emperor's order, so don't be vague, so as not to be deceived by the officials below; and don't make a big show, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will alarm the local area and feel like disturbing the people.

In addition, in addition to the few official lands, for the selection of private lands, it is necessary to purchase them at a reasonable price so that the common people will not suffer losses.

Mentioning this, both Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu had smiles on their faces.

Fortunately, the Zhili feudal treasury has enough money now, which is not worrying.

Sure enough, you need money to not panic.

After discussing, the two decided to draw 30 people from the Governor's Mansion and 20 people from the Governor's Office and the Chief Envoy to be stationed in various states and counties, and be responsible for the selection of wheat seeds.

Both of them are vigorous and resolute people, and since they have made a decision, they will not procrastinate in their actions. The next day, they arranged for someone to take the official documents of the governor's mansion and leave Qingyuan.

In a few days, a news came from the capital, which made the wind direction of Zhili officialdom become strange again.

Tang Zhiyu's widowed aunt, Lin, was widowed because she was under thirty, and she had not remarried at the age of fifty. The imperial court commended her chastity, commended her virtues, gave her a chastity archway, and gave her son a six-rank Anren...
