Chapter 297 Jealous, Di Bao

After dealing with many matters, the sun is almost setting.Yang reformed out of the Wenhua Palace, looked at the sun, and realized that the whole day had passed, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. Being an emperor is not easy, and wanting to be a good emperor is even more difficult.

Wang Chengen followed behind the emperor, waited on him, and said, "Your Majesty, should we go to Qianqing Palace or Kunning Palace?" Wang Chengen saw that the sun was getting late, and it was time to eat, so he asked the emperor where to eat.

"Let's go to Kunning Palace." Yang Reform made a quick decision.

"As ordered, Your Majesty... drive to Kunning Palace..." Wang Chengen shouted.

As soon as Yang Reform stepped on the chariot, his highly tense spirit relaxed. He felt drowsy after being shaken by the wobbly steps. He fell asleep when he leaned on the chariot. Today he was "fighting" with the ministers, dealing with things, and fooling around People, the spirit has been running at high intensity for a day.

Seeing that the emperor had fallen asleep on the chariot, Wang Chengen ordered the young eunuchs to slow down and walk a little slower.So, the emperor slept on the chariot, and the whole team crawled towards Kunning Palace at a slow speed.

……

Yang Reform was in a dream, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard someone calling in his ear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have arrived at Kunning Palace."

Yang Reform's awareness quickly became clear, and when he heard Wang Chengen calling himself, he opened his eyes, and the place had already changed from the Wenhua Palace to the Kunning Palace.

"It's almost here? Companion, how long have you been sleeping?" Yang Reform felt that the sleep just now was really quality and sweet. Now, he is full of energy again.

"Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty came out of the Wenhua Palace and arrived here in less than half an hour, about two quarters away." Wang Chengen replied.

"Two quarters? Oh, I know." The second quarter is half an hour, three to 10 minutes. Yang Reform thinks about the distance from the Wenhua Palace to the Kunning Palace. Knowing that Wang Chengen saw that he was sleeping soundly, he probably called People walk slowly.Yang Reform shook his head. It seems that he likes to sleep on the chariot, and the quality of sleeping in this place seems to be quite good.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has come out to greet His Majesty." Wang Chengen said again.

Yang Reform didn't pay attention, and looked back, sure enough, his empress in the main palace came out of Kunning Palace to pick him up.

"Wan'er, you are pregnant, so don't be too tired, and pay attention to rest." Yang Reform didn't wait for Zhou Waner to say hello, he quickly supported Zhou Waner, being very careful, for fear of bumping into each other, as a new father, naturally Very happy.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines are so delicate, how long has it been now! It's not that they can't walk anymore, and I have to trouble your Majesty to support them, but the ministers and concubines can't bear it..." Zhou Wan'er happily let the emperor support her, blushing Said with a straight face, although she is close to being a mother, the habit of blushing has not faded away.

Yang Reform took a look at Zhou Wan'er's stomach, supported Zhou Wan'er, and said, "Oh..., Wan'er, how can you say that, be careful, be careful!"

Yang Reform supported his wife and entered Kunning Palace affectionately.

"Your Majesty, I received a letter from my father, saying that he has started buying sugar cane fields in Guangxi. The letter also said that the weather there is not the same as that in the north. It often rains and is very humid and hot. It is not like the weather in the north. It's dry, it's prone to dust..." Zhou Wan'er talked about the things she was urging when they met.

"Hehe, is that right? Buying land? That's a good feeling. I hope my father-in-law can buy more sugar cane this year! It's the best way to make a lot of money." Yang Reform's move was an idle one. , maybe useful, maybe useless, now, Yang Reform himself does not know how to evaluate this move, but in order to deal with the natural disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is idle, even if it is useless, he still has to go and try. give it a try.

……

"Wan'er, is there something moving in my stomach today? Did my son kick someone?" Yang Reform and Zhou Wan'er talked about the family affairs, and Wang Chengen was already passing on the meal. The food was as economical as possible according to the emperor's request, and according to Yang Reform It means that for two people to eat, one has three or five dishes, which is enough. If there are too many, it is called luxury. However, now that the queen is pregnant, the table is full of these dishes, and Yang Reform will no longer eat them. It's called frugality, eat what you should eat, use what you should use, and you will not lose a penny.

"Your Majesty, there is movement there so soon! It's only been a few months!" Zhou Wan'er said with a happy face.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that my son will kick someone, the wounded Wan'er!"

"Your Majesty can really joke..."

The two were chatting and laughing, all the dishes had been put on the table, and the table was full, ready to eat.

"Hehehe...Your Majesty, the ancients said: Don't talk when you eat, and don't talk when you sleep. Your Majesty, after eating, don't tease your concubines, otherwise, your concubines won't be able to eat..." Zhou Waner laughed at Yang Reform. Yes, now it's time to eat, please forgive me, otherwise, I won't even be able to eat.

"Okay, I will stop joking and concentrate on eating... Come on, start, I am really hungry." Yang Reform is really hungry, he has been busy all day.

Zhou Wan'er couldn't eat at all, she just held a bowl to accompany the emperor to eat, but Yang Reformed threw off his arms and ate extravagantly. He couldn't help it, he was so hungry and in a good mood, so he naturally ate more.

Zhou Wan'er just moved a few chopsticks, seeing that the emperor was eating happily, she was also happy.

After a while, the meal was finished, and the eunuchs were allowed to withdraw the meal.

Yang Reform ate his mouth full of oil and wiped his mouth to feel comfortable. Life really needs a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine [the rice wine brewed by the farm is the most suitable, and it is comfortable to drink], you need to be able to eat heartily, be able Blessed is the eater.

"Your Majesty, my concubine heard that the grandson of Liulizhai has made great contributions. Your majesty and the ministers have discussed rewarding her. I don't know if it is true." Seeing the emperor happy, Zhou Wan'er tried to bring up the matter. .

"That's true! It's true. Liniang invented the weighing instrument. Wan'er also knows that the importance of this weighing instrument is no less than that of the previous tripod. It is the most important treasure of the country and the opportunity to maintain the unity of the world. Hehe, this matter It's important, so naturally it should be rewarded, but it's a pity that Liniang is not a man, otherwise, there would not be only a seventh-rank loose official..." Yang Reform explained.

"Hmph... Your Majesty is biased..." Zhou Wan'er curled her lips and gave Yang Reform a big "dissatisfied" expression.

"Wan'er, what's the matter? Are you biased?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty is not biased. Didn't His Majesty make sister Sun's weighing instrument? Wan'er doesn't believe it. A woman can make such a thing. If your majesty can help my sister make one, why don't you give it to Wan'er?" Wan'er make one too? Wan'er also wants to help His Majesty make a tripod..." Zhou Wan'er revealed her thoughts.

"Ah!..." Yang Reform was stunned. He didn't expect that this kind of thing could be done. He even wanted to make another tripod. Could this tripod be wholesaled?This is jealousy, serious jealousy!

"...Why, Your Majesty... are you angry?" Zhou Wan'er asked pitifully.

"No..., no, I mean, that weighing instrument is called a thermometer, and it is used to measure temperature. It can measure the specific value of temperature. It is the same as a ruler, so it is called a weighing instrument. It is made of glass, Wan'er , now in Ming Dynasty, there is no one else who can make glass except Liulizhai? It’s not because I’m partial!” Yang Reform hastily explained that this matter can also be jealous...

"Then Your Majesty can help Wan'er build one too. Wan'er doesn't need glass, and other things are fine. She should be like Sister Sun. If she has meritorious service to the society and Ming Dynasty..." Zhou Wan'er decided that Sun Liniang's The weighing instrument was given by the emperor, and he clamored to ask the emperor to make him something that would be famous for thousands of years. Women compare with each other, but it doesn't matter what it is.

"Ah! This..." Yang Reform found that women are also very arrogant when they are jealous. Can weighing instruments be invented casually?

"Your Majesty didn't say no, so Wan'er can take it as His Majesty's agreement. Your Majesty treats Wan'er very well..." Zhou Wan'er immediately ran to Yang Reform's side, and affectionately pulled Yang Reform's arm.

"Ah! This..." Yang Reform realized that he might be in trouble.I am a man with three thousand beauties, if every one of them has to invent a weighing instrument and make a tripod... Yang Reform thinks that the outside of Qianqing Palace is full of three thousand large and small tripods...

"Ah! This..., this, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it..." Yang Reform realized that women's jealousy is not normal, and he has no place to reason.

"No, Wan'er wants to, wants to, His Majesty promised Wan'er, Wan'er can wait for His Majesty's good news..." Zhou Wan'er shook Yang Reform's arm vigorously, bought and sold it there, and didn't give it at all. An opportunity for Yang Reform to shirk.

"..." Yang Reform shook his head in a daze.

"Okay!...Okay, I'm going to think of a way, I'm going to think of a way..." Yang Reform had to compromise, if he hesitated for a while, his arm might be broken.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty treats Wan'er so well..." Zhou Wan'er was extremely happy, and she was satisfied with it, so she didn't shake her arms anymore. Hearing that Sun Liniang made a weighing instrument, and the emperor and ministers discussed the news of rewards, Zhou Wan'er felt pressured It's very big, it's a great achievement for a woman to be recognized by the emperor and court officials, and to be appointed an official. Now, Sun Liniang's reputation will skyrocket, and she will tend to approach her as a queen. Zhou Wan'er feels that, Since you can rely on the emperor to make weighing instruments, you can also do it yourself, so there is a scene of buying and selling by force, and you have to compete with Sun Liniang.

I only suffered from Yang Reform, and I needed to search my guts to get another "ding" out.

……

June 22.

Yang Reform got up early in the morning and was still busy with political affairs. Tomorrow is the 23rd, which was agreed with the ministers. When talking about tax collection, Yang Reform had to prepare something.

"Big companion, tell someone to pass on Fan Weicheng, I want to see him." Yang Reform ordered.

"Your Majesty, but that Fan Weicheng who was in charge of the Wei case?" Wang Chengen asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's him." Yang Reform said.

"Your servant obeys, I will pass it on now." Wang Chengen agreed, and then went out to explain.

Yang Reform still reviewed the memorials.It is said to be a review, but it is read by the little eunuch. Yang Reform listens and gives opinions, and then the eunuch makes instructions. Sometimes he will read it personally, or write a few words to mean it, but most of them are just listening. Those who are not interested in all PASS will be handed over to the cabinet for processing.

After a long time, Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, Fanwei City is here, do you want to see Your Majesty?"

"See you." Yang Reform said, the review of memorials stopped, and the little eunuchs went out.

Fan Weicheng hadn't seen the emperor for some days, thinking that the emperor had forgotten him, but today he finally got the father-in-law who delivered the decree, he was very happy, the emperor did not forget himself!He handled the Wei case for the emperor himself and issued a "fine ticket", but he did a lot of work. As a result, the emperor threw him into the Jinshi class. Although he had made a promise, when he would fulfill it depended on the emperor's memory and mood.

"My minister Fan Weicheng kowtowed to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Fan Weicheng kowtowed in a serious manner.

"Get up." Yang Reform took a look. It was Fan Weicheng, no different from a few months ago.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." Fan Weicheng got up after thanking him.Waiting for the emperor to speak, to see what his fate is.

"Fan Weicheng, how are you doing in the Jinshi class? Can you make progress?" Yang Reform first asked with concern.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am studying in the Jinshi class. I have been exposed to a lot of new things and learned a lot of knowledge. I have benefited a lot." Fan Weicheng said confidently.In this sentence, Fan Weicheng told the truth. Since a person who wants to be an emperor, he has to pay attention to his likes and hobbies. Fan Weicheng was sent by the emperor to study in the Jinshi class. I heard that the learning content of the Jinshi class is imperially determined. , and the books on merit and fame are completely different things, so I also made up my mind and sincerely studied the content selected by the emperor. Since it was selected by the emperor, and since I want to follow the emperor, then the emperor's preferences and hobbies must naturally be read. Take it seriously, otherwise, in the future, if the emperor asks about the new subjects, if he asks three questions, then the previous efforts will be in vain.

"Oh? Hehe, what have you learned?" Yang Reform asked. The Jinshi class was just to popularize knowledge for the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty in the future. "Graduated", Yang Reform is going to deal with those who can't graduate. Some remote yamen, deserted yamen are the home of these people. If the academic performance of the new course is good, some good jobs will naturally be arranged, which will cause bureaucrats in the future. They all earnestly study the rules of their own subjects, and when their "own people" can support the government, they will either reform or do some unimaginable events, and they will not be alone.

"Returning to Your Majesty, learn arithmetic. I understand a lot about arithmetic. You don't need a pen or an abacus for many arithmetic calculations. You can calculate them." Fan Weicheng replied confidently.

"Very well, I will test you." Yang Reform was setting rules for these bureaucrats.

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question." Fan Weicheng agreed in response.

"How much is three plus two minus five?" Yang Reform blurted out without thinking.

"It's zero, Your Majesty, I don't know if what I said is right?" Fan Weicheng quickly gave the answer.

"Hehe, yes, how much is three sevens?" Yang Reform asked again.

"21 [-], Your Majesty..." Fan Weicheng happily replied, the questions asked by the emperor are really simple.

"Hehe, not bad..." Yang Reform has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, but he forgot about the few remaining mathematics, and he can come up with a few such topics at once. It's an exam.Yang Reform felt ashamed. It seems that this world has the function of assimilating him. He has only been in the Ming Dynasty for a few days?I don't remember much of what I learned before.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Fan Weicheng was very happy.

Yang Reform was depressed for a while, he hadn't done his business yet, and he was still planning to influence the world, but he didn't expect that the world would affect him first, why the knowledge he learned before became more and more blurred .

"Fan Weicheng, I summoned you today to ask you, do you know anything about Di Bao?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I also know a little about the Dibao. The Dibao is the way for local officials and scholars to contact and hear. With the Dibao, the court's decisions, appointments, etc. can be made known to the local area..." As an official , and as an official of the county magistrate, Fan Weicheng is no stranger to Di Bao.

"Okay, let me ask you, what is the name of the institution that manages the newspaper?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Your Majesty, you are the General Secretary." Fan Weicheng replied.

"Well, as long as you know, do you know how many mansion newspapers are there?" Yang Reform continued to ask.

"Returning to Your Majesty, mansion newspapers are generally hand-copied, which is the fastest, and some require engraving plates to print, and then compile them into newspapers. The number is quite large, and the capital and various provinces and governments have a lot to rely on. People who copy newspapers to make money..." Fan Weicheng told what he knew again.

"Very well, do you understand the importance of the Dibao?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that the palace report is the place where it is uploaded and distributed, and many of them involve court secrets. Therefore, when copying, you need to be cautious. Those that cannot be published, those that can be published, and those that need to be deleted need to be corrected one by one. Otherwise, the newspapers that should not be published will be copied out, and the disaster will be endless..." The mansion newspapers of the Ming Dynasty were quite developed. In addition to the imperial edicts of the emperor, there were also memorials of ministers, court decisions, appointments and other major events, as well as bureaucrats. Their opinions on something, or discussions about something, and even strange people and strange things in certain places are also listed in it, which is no different from the newspapers of later generations. [Newspapers printed with movable type can be confirmed to have appeared in the tenth year of Chongzhen, so it can be said that the mansion newspapers in the Ming Dynasty were quite developed. 】

"Okay, since you understand, that's good. I always feel that this mansion newspaper needs a competent person to help me look at it. Some things that shouldn't be published in the mansion newspaper, some need to be publicized, and some need to be promoted. These all need someone to help me. Dealing with it, this person must be able to understand my intentions, be my confidant, and be able to handle this issue for me. I thought about it and thought of you. I want you to go to the General Administration Department to help me manage the residence newspaper, I don’t know if you are willing to go.”
