I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 278 Restrictions of the Age

Daqin's climate is similar to that of China in another time and space, basically belonging to the subtropical and temperate zones.

Most areas belong to the warm temperate and middle temperate zones.

Among them, in the Gyeonggi generation, the agricultural harvest is basically from late August to late September.

It's only July now, even if there is a drought this year, there won't be so many refugees now, right?
Regarding this, Liu Muzhi and the others couldn't help frowning slightly.

Kou Zhunren, on the other hand, knew a little more about this than they did, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty knows a lot.

Although it is only July, for ordinary farmers, it is already approaching the season of starvation. If there is no famine, most self-cultivating farmers will need to borrow grain to survive by this season.

But once encountering such a famine, the rich and powerful would naturally refuse to borrow money.

Those who have a little way, of course, will not escape the famine before the autumn harvest, but those who really have no way, will not have an autumn harvest.

At this time, many of them can only break the pots and smash the crops that have not yet grown up and eat them.

After eating, naturally they had no choice but to flee. "

When Zhao Xin and others heard this, they finally realized that there was another silence in the north study room.

Kou Zhunren was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but frowned slightly and said: "However, at this time in the past, the powerful and wealthy families would take this opportunity to gather people.

Or pretend to do some relief to win people's hearts, so usually there will not be so many refugees, and they will not all run to the capital.

This time, there are so many refugees, and they gathered in the capital so quickly, which is indeed a bit abnormal. "

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but thump in their hearts, and they probably understood what was going on in an instant.

"It seems that someone deliberately fueled the flames behind the scenes!"

Wang Xuance then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I implore you to send embroidered envoys to investigate everywhere to see who is behind the scenes!"

Cao Xiong heard the words from the side, his expression couldn't help but slightly moved, he smiled cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's better to let the old slave send the Dongchang fan to investigate this matter, where there is no need to work as an embroiderer."

Wang Xuance raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

On the contrary, Xin Zhao cast a cold glance at Cao Xiong, who quickly backed away and bowed his head, not daring to speak any more.

Only then did Xin Zhao say coldly: "The ones who can't be checked are outside of those aristocratic families, and there will be no one else.

Just let Huatian send someone to investigate later. "

Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this.

Even Wang Xuance, he only mentioned this.

For such a trivial matter, he can't afford to fight for power and profit with anyone.

Although Cao Xiong smiled wryly in his heart, he had already lost the confidence and courage to fight against Yuhuatian.

It can only be said that Cao Heshengyu was born immediately.

Xin Zhao didn't dwell too much on this issue.

Because at this point, as he said, it doesn't make much sense to check or not.

The left and right are just people from those wealthy families. As for which family they belong to, it doesn't mean much to him.

"Let's continue talking about the refugees. I have a charter here. How about you take a look?"

As he spoke, he took out two pages of the manuscript in his hand and handed it to Cao Xiong, "Pass it on."

Cao Xiong didn't dare to neglect, he quickly took it, glanced at the content on it, but didn't dare to read it carefully.

But he knew that these were the results of His Majesty, Queen and Concubine Ming's two days of non-stop sleep.

So he held it very carefully.

Even when handing it over to Liu Muzhi and others, he specifically said, "Masters, be careful, these were written by Your Majesty and the two empresses after two days of sleepless nights, so please don't damage them."

Several people didn't dare to be negligent when they heard the words, and hurriedly took it carefully.

Only then did I know that the emperor's so-called retreat for the past two days was originally for these.

And the regulations mentioned by the emperor must also have something to do with this.

"It turns out that the ministers and others misunderstood His Majesty. His so-called retreat, it turned out that he was planning a strategy to manage the refugees..."

Thinking of this, Liu Muzhi and the others immediately felt ashamed.

They are also considered famous ministers.

But in such a matter, I can't share my worries for you, but let your majesty work hard.

Instead, they want to worry that the emperor ignores the government.

Really feel guilty.

Looking at the content on the page again, everyone was shocked at first, and then shocked again.

I was stunned because the content on this page was not a strategy for governing refugees.

The surprise is naturally that they see the value of the above content.

The emperor only let Cao Xiong hand down two pages, but the content on these two pages is different.

One of them reads "Picking up the Three Killings——Paper Materials".

One can tell at a glance that this is about papermaking, but this content is only the content of papermaking raw materials, and does not involve specific processes.

The title of another article reads "Lacquer Pottery [shan] - White Porcelain".

Then there are the words [Heavenly Creation] on the edge of the two pages.

Everyone immediately understood that these should be two chapters of a book called "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Although it is not complete, it is not difficult to see from the eyes of several people that it must have relevant content and its value.

However, everyone behaved slightly differently. Kou Zhunren, Liu Muzhi, and Wang Xuance were undoubtedly more solemn.

Yu Qian, on the other hand, was a little careless and confused.

And the one who was most excited was naturally Qiao Sanniang. As a businessman, although she didn't know if this thing had anything to do with resettling refugees, she instantly saw its economic benefits.

Subconsciously looking at the stack of similar pages in Xin Zhao's hand, his eyes couldn't help but shine.

Xin Zhao looked at the expressions of several people, and couldn't help asking: "What does this person think of the value of the content on these two pages?"

"Your Majesty, these two pages are priceless, and the content of any one page is enough to prosper a family."

Kou Zhunren spoke first.

Among the few people present, he was the only native, so his thoughts were basically similar to those of Su Qingyu and Lin Yuyan.

Everyone can see the above things at a glance, and the craftsmanship is far beyond the current one.

Then the first thought is that this skill can be used as a guarantee for the development of the family.

Liu Muzhi and Wang Xuance also had similar thoughts, so they both nodded together.

But Yu Qian frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the content of these pages can indeed be used in the present, but the strange skills and ingenuity may not help the big things."

When he said this, the three of Kou Zhunren and Liu Muzhi looked at him in surprise, "Yu Jun, this is the business of building a family, how can there be so many tricks?"

Yu Qian frowned when he heard the words, and was about to speak, but Xin Zhao waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not argue here whether it is a trick or not."

I can't help but sigh in my heart, these four can be said to be the elites of the era who were chosen for a while, and they are also believers in Confucian culture.

But in terms of thinking, the difference of the times can be clearly felt.

This feeling is really wonderful.

But Xin Zhao is obviously not in the mood to discuss the thought changes of Chinese scholars at this time.

He also stopped asking a few people what they thought, because they obviously didn't think that these contents had anything to do with resettling refugees.

This is also helpless, after all, no matter how wise people are, they cannot easily break through the constraints of the times.

This is the helplessness of the traversers.

Even these top-level wise men drawn by the system can hardly become fellow travelers who can truly understand and communicate.

Immediately asked Qiao Sanniang directly: "Sanniang, I asked you to recruit skilled craftsmen as much as possible, are you still doing it?"
