Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty - Chapter 620
In the summer of this year, the weather was extremely hot. On May 25th, more than a dozen people entered the palace.
The dozen or so people dress in different ways, most of them are men, and only one is a woman.
The one in the lead was dressed as an old farmer. He was dressed very neatly and neatly. It was just the rusticity of his suit that could not be concealed. He was obviously very nervous, sweating profusely at the moment, and the sweat completely soaked the clothes on his back.
Behind him was the woman. This woman looked about forty years old and was slightly fatter. She was dressed in brocade and looked like she was from a wealthy family. But looking at her dress, she was very red, obviously her taste is very average, even if she is a rich family, she is afraid of being a rich man in the country. When she came to this palace at the moment, she felt that her breathing was abnormally fast, her heartbeat was extremely fast, and the scenery in the palace was beautiful, but she did not have the slightest idea of appreciating the scenery.
Behind this woman is another old man with gray hair. This old man is dressed as a Confucian scholar, but his clothes are dirty and torn, and his whole body is dark and thin. At the moment in the palace, his eyes are People have a sense of God’s unwillingness to stay home.
The people behind are like these three, giving people a feeling of cramped and nervousness.
From entering the palace until entering a side hall, it took only a quarter of an hour, but they felt as if a long time had passed.
The guards arranged for them to sit down and brought them tea, but no one dared to drink water now. The woman picked up the tea, but her hands were trembling, and only heard a crisp “pop”, the tea cup fell off, and the woman’s face suddenly became extremely pale. She knelt down and cried loudly, “Fare! The villain will never dare anymore!”
“Get up quickly!” There was a gentle voice from the side. The woman wanted to stand up, but she felt her body feel so weak that she couldn’t get up at all, and then a pair of strong hands helped her stand up.
“Thank you, thank you!” the woman hurriedly said.
However, just as the woman thanked her, those who came in with her knelt down together, and a moment later, the voice of “Long Live Long Live Long Live” sounded in the side hall.
The woman stayed there. She looked at the youth in front of her, only to find that the youth was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. The woman kneeled down again involuntarily and shouted “Long live” along with her.
At this moment, she knew that it was the ruler of this empire who helped her up just now. Wenzhi martial arts even surpassed the Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong’s current emperor. There was no hero or saint in the hearts of hundreds of people! She didn’t know what she was feeling in her heart, and the heat flowed through her heart for an instant, and she almost wanted to cry.
“Let’s be flat!” Zhao Chen said.
At this moment, Wang Shu was also by Zhao Chen’s side. Wang Shu was looking at these people curiously. He didn’t understand why Zhao Chen called these people into the palace.
At the moment, these more than ten people stood up, but they still lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhao Chen at all.
“Sit down, all of you!” Zhao Chen couldn’t help laughing when he saw them being so cautious.
The dozen or so people hesitated for a while before they sat down again, but everyone was half-sit, and they didn’t dare to sit as easily as at home.
“Your name is Li Yi?” Zhao Chen looked at the man dressed as the old farmer and asked.
“Yes, see your Majesty for the Caomin!” The old farmer hurriedly knelt down again and said.
“Flat body! I heard that you invented the method of planting rice twice a year, but what happened?” Zhao Chen helped the old farmer up and said.
“Your Majesty, this year’s double-cropping sowing method was not invented by the grassroots, the ancestors have planted it! It’s just that the villain has promoted the double-cropping a year sowing method in Suzhou and Hangzhou for decades, so many people think it is the invention Come out.” The old farmer said at a loss.
“If the two-crop sowing method spreads throughout the country this year, it can greatly increase my grain harvest in the Song Dynasty. This is a good thing for the country and the people. You have a great contribution to the country and the country!” Zhao Chen admired.
In Chinese history, it was not until the Song Dynasty that the double-cropping rice planting method appeared in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan has become the world’s granary since then! As for who was the first to experiment and promote twice a year, there is no record in history! However, as far as Zhao Chen knows, in this era, this old farmer has been committed to promoting this matter for decades, and it has indeed had a great effect! Zhao Chen really admired this old farmer.
“Your Majesty is absurd, Cao Min dare not be ashamed.” The old farmer said even more nervously.
“Your merit is much higher than that of many generals who have fought in the world!” Zhao Chen smiled.
“This…this…” The old farmer was speechless, unable to speak.
“Are you Wang?” Zhao Chen looked at the woman and said.
“Yes, see your majesty!” The woman hurriedly stood up again and stammered.
“I heard that you made a new spinning wheel, making the spinning speed three times faster, but is there such a thing?” Zhao Chen said.
“There is such a thing, but this is also a lot of people to help.” The woman hurriedly said.
“Very well, this is also an invention of benefiting the country and the people, sit down!” Zhao Chen said.
In history, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, a spinning wheel driven by a belt appeared in China for the first time. As for who invented this spinning wheel, there is no record in history. Chinese history is dismissive of these craftsmen. Even if they invented epoch-making products, their reputation in history is not as good as that of any other person or scholar.
“Your name is Weipu, and you have created a new star map?” Zhao Chen asked, looking at the old scholar who seemed a little crazy.
“Yes, it took 30 years for the villain to draw the star map, and it was only a while ago.” The old Confucian student also stood up immediately and said respectfully.
“Did you bring the star map today?” Zhao Chen said.
“Bring it.” The old scholar took out the star map from his arms with excited and trembling hands, and handed them to Zhao Chen’s hands.
Zhao Chen took the star map and opened it, only to realize that the star map was huge. Several guards helped Zhao Chen spread it out together, and Zhao Chen watched it carefully there.
“Your Majesty, the villain knows that these words are a bit rebellious, but the villain still wants to say that the sun in the sky does not revolve around the earth, on the contrary, the land under our feet revolves around the sun!” The old scholar hesitated for a while. After that, he seemed to have made up his mind and said violently.
“I understand! You write all the thoughts in your heart and submit them to me, I am very interested!” Zhao Chen smiled.
“Ah! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!” There was an expression of ecstasy on the face of the old scholar, Du.
“You are Xue Han. Three years ago, you made a thunderbolt that can be started with gunpowder, which is far better than ordinary stone throwing machines. Is that possible?” Zhao Chen looked at a long, very honest, dark body. Middle-aged man, Tao.
“It’s the villain. Your Majesty knows the villain’s name. The villain is fortunate for three lives!” The middle-aged man also said excitedly.
Zhao Chen motioned him to sit down, and then asked one by one. It took a full half an hour before Zhao Chen stopped.
“Come here, read the imperial edict!” Zhao Chen waved his hand and said.
Hearing the imperial decree to be read out, the more than ten people hurriedly knelt down again. This time Zhao Chen did not let them level up. Only one of the guards came up and read out loudly: “Feng Tian, the emperor’s edict said, Li Yi, Wang Shi, Weipu, and others were smart and diligent, and discovered all kinds of things that have made great contributions to the country and family. Today, Li Yi is specially designated as Feng Nonghou, Wang Shi is the clothes maker, and Weipu is the measure of the weather…”
The guards finished reading this sacred decree, and the side hall became quiet, and these more than ten people stayed there!
Not only them, but the rest of the guards in the side hall were also stunned, even Wang Shu stayed there!
“Aren’t you getting the point?” Zhao Chen said.
“Cao Min waits for the purpose!” These more than ten people said in unison in trembling voices.
The guards took them out of the palace, but they still felt like a dream. They felt that everything in front of them seemed to be illusory. When can farmers and craftsmen be entrusted? They have never heard of such a thing!
When he got outside the palace, Li Yi slapped his face fiercely, feeling a sharp pain, and then realized that it was not a dream, but a real thing!
“Your Majesty actually gave us a marquee, this… how can it be? I’m just an old farmer, and I turned out to be the Lord Lord of the court! Heaven, is this true?” Li Yi murmured.
After a while, he knelt down toward the palace again, with tears on his face, and the other dozen people also knelt down with him!
“Your Majesty said that you have done a great job in the community. He will not only give you a marquee, but he has also ordered people to record your deeds in books. From now on, all students in the world will learn from your deeds, and you can live forever!” The guard said in an enviable tone.
“This… Your Majesty did this, how can we repay it?” Li Yi said excitedly.
“Your Majesty is not asking you to repay. His old man wants to set up a practical school so that everyone in the world understands that’everything is inferior, only a high school’ is wrong. As long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner, as long as you do something to the country What is good for the people, even a farmer can be a lord! From now on, there will be no humble karma or humble people in this world. As long as you work hard, anyone can become noble!” At this moment, a minister from Walked out of the palace and smiled.
This minister seems to be quite old, but in fact he also has a trace of envy in his eyes! He is envious of these people living in such an era, the emperor attaches great importance to industry, these people are at the right time, so they can become the first group of people in China for thousands of years because of farming, textiles, etc. In the future, it will inevitably be known by the world and forever.
“This one is Master Qin, Minister of Commerce!” The guard next to him hurriedly introduced.
“Caomin wait, see your lord!” The dozen or so people knelt down again and said.
“You are all the masters of your majesty. You don’t need to kneel to me. Get up quickly! Don’t go back now. I will take you to the school department. You will tell your deeds. From now on, your deeds will be affected by the world. Students study, don’t exaggerate, but don’t underestimate yourself.” Qin Hui smiled.
At the moment, these more than ten people followed Qin Hui into the palace again.
In the afternoon, this matter was spread out. By night, everyone in the entire Yanjing City was already aware of it. The people of Yanjing City were talking about it, and countless people were shocked by the imperial court’s appointment!
In Wang Kai Manor outside Yanjing City, several Korean ministers gathered together, and they were also shocked.
“The status of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce is the highest, the peasants are second, the craftsmen are second, and the merchants are the most inferior! But now, peasants, craftsmen, and other lowly people can be named marquises, it is incredible!” Wang Kaidao.
“I’m afraid the world will be in chaos soon!” Li Rui said.
“This is messing up the order of the world. Emperor Xuanwu made a huge mistake in this move!” Jin Can said slowly.
“But in this way, I am afraid that the farmers and craftsmen in the world will support Emperor Xuanwu! In order to gain the support of farmers and craftsmen, Emperor Xuanwu even ignored the feelings of the scholars. It is really not worth the loss! Moreover, in the parliamentary elections, there are actually some Some businessmen entered the parliament, and scholars were even more dissatisfied! Scholars should have the highest status. Scholars ruled the world and ruled the world. Farmers, craftsmen, and businessmen were ruled and ruled, and there should have been huge differences in status. Yes!” An Pulin said.
“Emperor Xuanwu promoted education in the world, and schools were established everywhere. From now on, everyone in the world will study, I am afraid that there may not be real scholars in the future.” Li Rui said fiercely.
“This…” Jin Can and the others were taken aback, their brows furrowed, they still couldn’t think of Zhao Chen’s intention.
This time Zhao Chen is indeed completely disrupting the order of the world, completely improving the status of the people at the bottom, and enhancing the status of real learning! He wants to completely suppress the Chinese people’s style of attaching importance to Confucianism and despising practical science and technology in his lifetime! He has anticipated that some scholars in the country will oppose, but he has enough confidence to deal with the rebound of these scholars! From the prime minister to the ministers of the State Council, he pulled them up with one hand. Most of the ministers in the 36 provinces were also his cronies. With the support of the people at the bottom, some scholars couldn’t make the waves! Moreover, after the introduction of the new imperial examination system, the vast majority of Confucian scholars have begun to follow the imperial policies, and now they are at most stubborn stubborn sectarians who have no power at all!
Standing in the palace, Zhao Chen knew that it would not take long for the whole world to emphasize facts and learn more, and some scholars would even begin to study the real learning, because when the real learning reached its climax, it would be glorious that ordinary people could not reach! Zhao Chen even plans to establish a foundation to reward scientific discoveries.
The July of the eleventh year of Xuanwu has arrived. At this moment, on the far North Sea, a small boat is heading southward stubbornly against the waves.
“We have reached the range of Kuye Island, and one month further south, we will be able to return to Goryeo!” There were seven warriors on the boat, and one of them was humane at this moment.
“Last summer we left Goryeo, and now it’s more than a year, we can finally return! But General Wu is still at sea, they have to continue their adventure!” Another soldier next to him said.
It turned out that these seven people were the ones that Wu Gong sent back to report the news. Now they came to the area of Kuye Island, and all of them showed joy.
They were walking forward, and at this moment, a big ship faintly appeared ahead!
The boat stopped immediately, and all seven soldiers clenched their weapons!
The big ship is getting closer and closer, and suddenly a soldier said excitedly: “Huanglongqi, is my Da Song’s warship! Hurry! Past, let’s go!”
The rest of the soldiers were also looking carefully, and after a while they couldn’t help cheering.
A quarter of an hour later, these seven people came to the big ship, and a captain looked at them in surprise.
“Why are there only seven of you? Where is General Wu Gong?” Xiaowei said.
“General Wu is still exploring the extreme north. We have discovered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, almost not under the Central Plains!” a soldier smiled.
“There are large tracts of land in the north, which are all barren land. The military department has predicted it a long time ago, but your on-site observation will greatly help the military department to enter those places in the future! General Wu should be back, the war will soon begin! “The school lieutenant said with some regret.
“War? What kind of war?” The seven soldiers showed surprise expressions on their faces.
“The imperial court is about to use troops against Dongying!” Xiaowei said.
“Ah!” The seven people stayed there.
