A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 539: Looking down on the sacrifice of glass

Zhao Zhen's trips out of the palace have become less and less frequent in recent years, and most of his trips out of the palace are to ministers' homes, and his footprints have never been seen in the fields.

Today, this honor actually fell on Shenjiazhuang, and the farmers were extremely excited.

"Ask your mother to come and see the official!"

"Hurry up, the officials are leaving soon."

Zhang was in charge of security for eight years. Hearing this, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Isn't daddy sick? Hurry up and take advantage of the blessings of the official family. Maybe it will be better."

A big man discussed with his brothers, and the two brothers ran away.

The people from the Imperial City Department were looking at Zhang Ba...

Boss, the official family is going to become a mascot!

The corners of Zhang Baba's mouth twitched. If he tried to stop him, Zhao Zhen would definitely glare at him. Don't stop me, there will be a lot of excitement here soon.

"...In the official family, one stone, three buckets and five liters is enough. If it is even worse, the villain's whole family will die..."

An old farmer swore, Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "I believe it."

He grabbed a handful of wheat grains, turned around and said, "People often talk about the people's hearts and minds. What is the people's hearts and minds? Tell me."

Everyone followed his gaze and saw Zhao Zhongzhen.

Is this a teaching test?

What a good thing!

Shen An coughed dryly behind Zhao Zhongzhen and whispered: "Hurry."

"People's hearts..."

Zhao Zhongzhen hesitated for a moment.

This is a sign of lack of preparation and lack of confidence.

Why!

What a pity for this opportunity!

Many people feel sorry for Zhao Zhongzhen, and some even feel that they have countless answers in their stomachs that can help him.

Zhao Zhen was also a little disappointed.

Zhao Zongshi is stubborn. He can't communicate well with this 'adopted son', let alone teach him. So when he met Zhao Zhongzhen today, he took advantage of the situation and gave it a try.

Public sentiment is a big question. It seems simple, but it is difficult to answer.

Zhao Zhongzhen raised his head and looked at those people, and said easily: "The people's heart is just food, clothing, housing and transportation, and nothing else."

Is this too simple?

Zhao Zhen said: "Increasing farm income is a big deal. One acre of land can increase income by two dou and five liters. What about ten acres of land? What about one hundred acres of land... There are countless lands in the Song Dynasty. What if every place can use it? "

"The people can have enough to eat and even have some money left..." Ouyang Xiu said: "When I was young, my family was poor. I still remember the embarrassment of getting rice and noodles at home every day. Whenever I used too much, I felt uneasy and feared that in the future Cutting off cooking... If all the farmers in the world can increase their income, it will be a great merit for the officials."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "This is a great merit. If it is promoted in the world, it will be a great achievement."

"Official..."

He was about to say something more when a group of women arrived.

Damn it!

What's going on?

The people who came were mainly women and old people who were being carried on their backs, and it looked like a mess.

"Protect the official family!"

After Zhang Baibian gave the order, Zhao Zhen was surrounded.

"What are you panicking about? What are you panicking about?"

Zhao Zhen scolded him dissatisfiedly, but Zhang Baibian refused to give in.

This was the rule, Zhao Zhen couldn't do it, and when the women came, he couldn't stay any longer, so he smiled and comforted them a few words, and took the people back.

Back in the palace, the ministers and assistants were very excited. Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, please promote this golden fat pill to the world immediately."

"I second my opinion."

"I second my opinion."

This was probably the most unanimous speech among the prime ministers and assistants in history. Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Shen An: "I would like to ask you, are you willing to give up?"

There is nothing to be reluctant about, there is no patent to speak of at this moment, and you, Shen An, are an official...

When officials discover good things that benefit the country and the people, shouldn't they take the initiative to hand them over?

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate."

Shen An ignored Zhao Zhen's look of astonishment and said, "Your Majesty, although the production of Golden Fertilizer Pill is simple, it requires a certain amount of capital. Who would believe it if it is only tried in the Shen family's fields and then spread all over the world?"

He said seriously: "Any new thing, such as the promotion of Jin Fei Dan, this matter seems simple, but once it is implemented, something goes wrong... For example, Jin Fei Dan is only suitable for use in the Shen family's land. It won’t work anywhere else…”

"impossible!"

Han Qi said: "I was not a rich man when I was young. No matter what kind of fertilizer it is, as long as it works on the ground, it will work in the north and south."

He said this very firmly.

Shen An said calmly: "Xia Guan is just making an analogy. Of course Jin Fei Dan can be used in both the north and the south. But before using it, should we find a place to try it? Are we just following Xi Guan's personal opinion and promoting it to the world? What? What is this? Reckless!"

Well!

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen An felt something was wrong. When he saw Han Qi and others' eyes filled with pity, his heart skipped a beat.

Damn it!

It is Zhao Zhen who says he promotes the world!

What I said... wasn't I accusing him of being rash?

But after the words were spoken, Shen An couldn't take them back, so he bit the bullet and continued: "If you want the people to follow the instructions of the court, it's useless first and foremost if it's not orders. The people will have 10,000 ways to deal with it. .”

"I think asking people to do things is like taking off their clothes...You can't make them take off their clothes in the cold winter, but they can in the hot summer. If we use Go to say it, it means entering the world slowly...Don't stab it in all at once..."

puff!

Someone laughed out loud.

Shen An frowned and glanced at the chamberlain, and said: "Let's try it around Bianliang first. When next year's harvest increases, the output will increase significantly. Think about it, if one acre of land increases the income by two dou and five liters, as long as the income increases by one dou, I dare to guarantee it." There is no need for the government to implement it, as long as the prescriptions are published and distributed in various places, farmers all over the world will take the initiative to make this golden fertilizer, and in a few years, they will even be able to come up with better prescriptions."

"Inducing him with benefits?"

Han Qi frowned and said: "It can be implemented by the Central Government. We have seen the increase in income, so why not?"

This one still takes things for granted!

"We saw it, but the people didn't!"

Shen An said helplessly: "How can the people believe it if they haven't seen it with their own eyes?"

Well!

Another person would probably say that the people should believe it, but everyone is an adult and an old guy...

Seeing is believing!

"Bianliang is the capital, and people come and go from both the north and the south. As long as Bianliang is established, people all over the world will naturally believe it."

Shen An retreated.

It would be good to have a vigorous reform, but currently there is no such condition. Let’s take a roundabout way first. It only takes one year. It will save trouble in the future and local officials will not have to work hard to implement it. How great!

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "That's true. I was a little too anxious before, so that's it."

He looked at Shen An, smiled and said: "You are very good. Do you have any requirements?"

He was smiling a little as he spoke, and the ministers and ministers also looked strange, wondering how they should be credited for this?

"Chen... these are just some of the benefits of miscellaneous studies, not worth mentioning."

Shen An said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the students of Taixue are studying miscellaneous subjects, and Jin Feidan is just one of them. At present, students are still studying many things. As time goes by..."

Miscellaneous studies are a good thing!

He expected Zhao Zhen to respond positively.

"I'll wait and see."

Still no response.

Shen An was not discouraged. At this time, Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, it is not good for the prince to be outside the palace. I feel... it is time to enter the palace."

Zeng Gongliang immediately followed up: "Yes! Enter the palace early, and your Majesty can give you some teachings."

Ouyang Xiu said nothing.

He is considered a representative figure of premature aging, so he has long seen through these thoughts.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "It's time to delay it any longer. Please go and persuade your ministers."

Oh! Zhao Zhongzhen's good days are over.

Shen An thought this was a good thing, but she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

The importance of this matter goes without saying. After leaving the main hall, Han Qi said: "I will go first, and everyone will follow."

This is about lobbying.

Everyone nodded, Han Qi glanced at Shen An, "What can you do?"

This was not said with contempt, but with urgency.

Zhao Zhen is over 50 years old. In this era when over 40 years old can be called longevity, no one can tell his future.

So the Song Dynasty needed a prince.

Shen An said: "I will do my best."

Han Qi looked at him and said for a long time, "Okay."

On the other side, Zhao Zhen was drinking tea.

The sun is shining, no, it's a little hot.

The hottest stage of his life has passed, and he feels his body getting older.

"I have been thinking about the people's support all my life, and I began to think that the people's support is the emperor's kindness. Yes! The emperor's kindness naturally leads to the people's support. Later, I felt that the people's support should be coercion. The emperor sits in the ninth heaven, and everyone in the world will obey..."

He smiled and said with some self-deprecation: "The people on the other side of the border fled to the Liao Kingdom. I know about this, but I just refuse to discuss it. I can't afford to embarrass this person!"

Chen Zhongheng remembered Zhao Zhen's attitude when someone reported the matter, which was very cold.

That is not a benevolent king, but a shy and angry emperor.

What’s the use of kindness when the people’s support is gone?

"Only now do I know that the so-called people's will is to have enough food and clothing... The young man is right, so education is not as good as having enough food... A person with solidity will know etiquette, and with enough food and clothing, he will know honor and disgrace. The sages have long ago Having said this truth, I just turned a blind eye and thought that I could rule the world with kindness, which is extremely ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

There was anger in his voice, "I'm old, I'm old!"

"Guan Jia... you are not old."

Shen An went to Izumo Temple.

Coming to a place where steel is smelted in the summer is looking for trouble.

Shen An stood by the stove for a while, listening to She Qing talking excitedly about how good the recent recipes were.

No matter how good it is, you can’t throw it out now!

Shen An murmured in his heart, and then asked: "How is the glass burned?"

When this was mentioned, Shiqing became a little unhappy.

Most scientists all have similar temperaments, and they are all stubborn at heart.

Sheqing originally dedicated his body and soul to the great cause of elixir refining, but later Shen An pointed out the essence of the elixir, so he was hit hard and couldn't recover.

Later, Shen An found him a job making steel, and he jumped in, never wanting to come out again.

This kind of person is an idiot, what will be called in future generations...academic expert, a living idiot.

But such people are also the best experts.

"That thing is not interesting..."

Sheqing was very dissatisfied and was not willing to spend time on the glass at all.

When they got to the kiln where the glass was fired, Sheqing pulled out a bamboo basket, which casually made people think it was full of garbage.

He uncovered the homespun cloth - the homespun cloth was so dirty that people were speechless.

The sun was shining brightly, and Shen An felt like his eyes were flashing.

Damn it!

It's all glass...

No, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net translucent colored glaze.

He looked at She Qing, his eyes full of greed: "This is all money, do you understand?"

Glass is money, and the generosity that can produce it is walking gold.

You are a golden person!

In Shen An's eyes at this moment, the confused and impatient look on his face was made of gold. No, he is just a hen, a hen that lays golden eggs.

She Qing picked up a piece of irregularly shaped glass and frowned: "It just looks prettier. Pindao made some that are more transparent than this one, but they said the transparent ones don't look good..."

Who said that?

I'm going to beat him to death!

The third update is here, good night!
