"The prince once asked me for advice. If the South Vietnamese country is stable, it can vigorously expand its maritime borders and inexhaustible wealth in the ocean!"

When the ministers were discussing who to send to Nanyue Kingdom, the emperor suddenly said this slowly, and a group of ministers who were talking about it suddenly became stunned: "Your Majesty, develop the sea border?"

The emperor nodded: "The prince means that although the enemy in the north is still a confidant of our dynasty, our dynasty has been under the influence of the north for decades. The north is no longer worth worrying. We go to the north regularly to sweep the wave every year, and we will have no worries for a hundred years. But if our dynasty wants long-term peace, I hope to be in the sea!"

All the ministers lowered their heads and refused to speak because they didn't know what to say. They had never thought about this problem. In their eyes, the sea had nothing to do with it except the fairy island.

The emperor ignored the minister's face with a surprised expression and still spoke slowly: "I didn't understand what this sentence meant at first, but after coming to Dengzhou, I roughly understood what it means. Do you think Dengzhou's specialties are rich?"

"Your Majesty, Dengzhou has a rich variety of seafood and is very rich!"

"Well, this is just a place in Dengzhou. The prince said that now our shipbuilding industry is too backward and cannot enter the deep sea. Otherwise, we will find wealth deep in the ocean. The wealth of the South Vietnamese Kingdom is not only visible food and gold on land, but more of the islands around the South Vietnamese Kingdom, where..."

After hearing the emperor's words, the eyes of the ministers had already lit up. The great wealth of the South Vietnam Kingdom, if the emperor let go...

The emperor was also very clear about the thoughts of the ministers below: "Nanyue Kingdom has a great relationship, everyone, don't drag it down!" After saying that, he swept over everyone. The emperor was not afraid of external enemies, but was afraid that his own people were dragging his own people down!

Now the Yutang Empire system is a family system, and each family has strong strength. If the imperial court wants to develop the Nanyue Kingdom, it must have the support of aristocratic families. Without the support of aristocratic families, the development cost is too high. Moreover, in some areas, the influence of the imperial court is not as good as that of aristocratic families.

The relationship between aristocratic families and the royal family and the court is almost symbiotic. The court is composed of a royal family, aristocratic families and the people, and the royal family is the largest aristocratic family. Under this system, as long as the royal family maintains sufficient prestige and ability, the aristocratic families dare not emerge. Even if there are disputes of interest, most of them put the overall situation first.

Hearing the emperor's words, the ministers below immediately saluted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we must do our best!"

"good!"

"deliver an imperial order……"

When Yu Zhiqian's memorial was delivered to the emperor, Su Dingfang's title had been settled. Although he was not Guannei, Su Dingfang captured Anqing City and Anqing became Su Dingfang's fief with a fief of 300.

This is the highest of the marquises directly awarded by the imperial court in several years, but Su Dingfang and Yu Zhiqian didn't know that the decree was still on the way to the south.

With the emperor's order, the entire court began to operate, and a large amount of supplies began to move south. At the same time, the aristocratic families who received the news also began to become busy, and some people began to migrate to the south with their families.

This migration is different from the past. These aristocratic families are very concerned. They not only provide supplies along the way to ensure that these people will not be frozen and hungry on the road, but also have some armed guards.

These guards are not guarding the house. The emperor said it very clearly that after going south, the family's own sphere of influence had to work hard on their own. As long as they win, they would be their own. They could just pay three floors to the court, which included land, spices, grain, gold, etc.

The wealth is moving, and these aristocratic families have their own sources of information. They also know the gains of Su Dingfang's destruction after the destruction of the country. After knowing the specific numbers, the aristocratic families that were originally planning to discuss for a long time could not sit still and began to prepare immediately.

These people are all household registrations hidden by aristocratic families. The emperor also knew that turning a blind eye to the other side is enough as long as it is not too much. Now the land of the Yutang Empire is still abundant, and land annexation is not serious. Most of these people are the people around the fiefs of these noble families, and they have been hidden for various reasons.

As for armed guards, the equipment of this group of people was specially approved by the emperor. Of course, even if the emperor did not criticize them, they still had weapons, but they did not dare to take them out in such a righteous manner.

After the entire empire was running, the energy was amazing, especially after the Turks in the north received the news, they were so scared that they sent envoys to Chang'an overnight. At the same time, the Turkic Khan moved his golden tent to the north for dozens of miles, and then they felt a little relieved.

However, even so, the entire Yu Tang Empire was not greatly affected, and the spring plowing was still proceeding in an orderly manner. This year, Yu Zhiqian was presided over the spring plowing in Chang'an.

Before presiding over this spring plowing, Yu Zhiqian had no idea that as the crown prince, he had to go to the fields to work in person. Moreover, because his father was not here this year, he had to plant his father's land. In addition, he also had to plant his mother's body and land, right?

Yu Zhiqian was standing in front of a Chenghuang Temple by a field in a four-clawed dragon robe. The officials of the Ministry of Rites who were left behind in the capital were reciting the rituals. Yu Zhiqian stood beside him and could not look straight, looking straight ahead.

After the Ministry of Rites has finished reading the manuscript, some simple rituals will be started. First, a cow will be pulled out, and then the officials will throw rice and soybeans to the plowing ox, which means that they hope for a bumper harvest in the new year.

After the simple ceremony, Yu Zhiqian was about to start working in the fields. Of course, it was not just Yu Zhiqian, but all the officials here had to go to work in the fields. This area was a royal manor, and the land inside was cultivated by the emperor himself every year.

However, this so-called personal cultivation means that it is now farming, subsequent weeding, fertilization, etc., has specialized people, and the output of this land is far higher than that of the rest of the land every year, and sometimes it can be more than ten times higher.

When the people heard this, they would sigh, the royal family is indeed different. The land they planted is much higher than that of ordinary people. Some people would doubt it, but they dare not express their doubts. Could it be that the emperor would lie to you?

Yu Zhiqian led the plowing ox and walked carefully in the fields. This cow was the most gentle ox selected. The plow behind it was also a new plow just developed by the Ministry of Industry recently. It is said that the effect is good.

After leading the cow and walking around the field for a few times, Yu Zhiqian needed to start planting millet. He was a man with three acres of land. Yu Zhiqian glanced at it, bent down silently and began to sow.

Even if Yu Zhi doesn't want to be the emperor or the prince, he can't escape this matter. Not far away, the third and fourth brothers and Xiao Ba are busy in the fields. Compared to Yu Zhi, they have a little experience, at least they come to plant every year, and Yu Zhi is strictly speaking, it is the first time.

Three acres of land are very large, and it takes a long time for Yu Zhi to be a farmer. After seeing Yu Zhi do it, the officials next to him whispered: "Your Highness, don't have to be so troublesome. You just need to pretend to behave. There will be farmers in the manor for you later..."

Yu Zhigan's face was stern: "Nothing, how can you fool such a thing? No one cares about it, I will plant these three acres of land in person!"

After saying that, Yu Zhigan continued to bend down to farm.

As a farming nation, farming should be a basic skill. Yu Zhigan thinks that this way of sacrificial sacrificial ritual that allows officials to go to the ground to farm in person is a good tradition and should be strictly implemented.

Hearing Yu Zhigan's words, the faces of the Ministry of Rites beside him changed: "Your Highness, I am just, just..."

"Okay, I don't care about what happened before, but in the future, spring plowing is not allowed to be fooled like this. The old minister can be replaced by his children and grandchildren. The rest must plant the land in front of him. In autumn, I will check the harvest. Whose land is not good, haha!"

Yu Zhigan snorted coldly, and the officials beside him immediately understood that Yu Zhigan was not joking.

It was not that Yu Zhigan suddenly realized something, but that since he was the prince, he had to do something, touched his waist, glanced at Lao Qi and Lao Ba who were playing and turned cold: "Lao Qi and Lao Ba, come here!"

The two little guys thought they could fool them by acting like before. After hearing Yu Zhigan's shouting, they ran over disapprovingly and went to Yu Zhigan's face, and then they found that Yu Zhigan's face seemed to be wrong.

"Brother!"

The two looked at each other, wondering why their elder brother suddenly got angry.

"What are you doing?"

"Brother, we are..."

Lao Qi was about to say a few words, but when he looked at Yu Zhigan staring at him, he didn't dare to speak, so he could only lower his head. Lao Ba saw that his seventh brother was scolded, he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Do you know that every meter and a grain of rice are hard-won. Letting you farm in the fields today is to let you experience the sufferings of the people. What are you doing?"

"Brother, I was wrong!"

"Brother, I know I'm wrong, too!"

Yu Zhigan looked at Lao Qi and Lao Ba and sighed: "You are princes and are born to work without labor, but as princes, don't forget that every rice and grain you eat is what the people work hard to cultivate. Spring farming is a major event for the country. How dare you make trouble!"

The two men, the seventh and eighth, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Yu Zhigan looked at them: "Will this poem of compassion for the farmers?"

"ah?"

The two looked up at Yu Zhigan, a little confused about what Yu Zhigan was saying, and their eyes were a little confused.

"If you don't know, I'll tell you now. After the spring plowing is over, you will return to the mansion and copy each person will copy it a hundred times and send it to my palace tomorrow!"

After Yu Zhigan finished speaking, he spoke slowly: "It's noon to hoe the wheat, and sweat drips into the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard to do!"

After hearing Yu Zhigan's words, Lao Liu and Lao Wu, who have always loved poetry and prose, lit their eyes: "Brother, what a poem!"

After saying that, they came over. They didn't know what happened, especially Lao Liu, who even fell some of the seeds on the ground and stepped on them with their feet.

"Poetry is a good poem. Since you two like it so much, each of you will copy it a hundred times after you go back and will be sent to the palace tomorrow!"

"ah?"

The two of them didn't know where they were wrong, and the guards beside them immediately whispered to remind them something was wrong.

Lao Liu glanced at the seeds that he was trampled on the ground, then carefully tasted the poem Yu Zhigan had just written, and then bowed deeply to Yu Zhigan: "Brother, I have received the teachings!"

"Okay, go farming. No one is allowed to be lazy today, and no one is allowed to be lazy in the future, right?"

"Here!"

Yu Zhigan's poem written on the field immediately reached the ears of the ministers who were farming around him. Originally, many people were complaining that the prince was too harsh, but after hearing this poem, many people showed a look of shame on their faces and began to farm carefully.

Yu Zhigan, the initiator of this incident, now regrets it. He seemed to have been a little too pretentious just now. Now he feels that his waist is no longer his own, so how much land has he planted? Yu Zhigan glanced at three acres of land, he probably had to be busy for two or three days before he could finish planting it?

"You shouldn't show off. NND is too over-pretending. Now it's difficult to get on the tiger!"

Yu Zhigan thought of what he said just now and what he wanted to be lazy now, then his reputation for life would be ruined.

What I made an appointment with me is going to plant it with tears in my eyes. Yu Zhigan held his waist and started to continue planting it. But even so, Yu Zhigan did not throw the seeds casually. He was planting them carefully little by little, very attentively.

This made some people watching not far away and some guards constantly praise them when they saw it.

"The prince is indeed a wise prince, farming so seriously!"

"Every word of the prince's poem is deeply rooted in my heart!"

"Prince..."

A group of people were praising Yu Zhigan. Yu Zhigan vaguely heard someone beside the field not far away praising him, but was scolding in his heart. These damn guys were just praising him, don’t you know if you came to help?

Farming was really tiring. Yu Zhigan was busy until the evening and barely planted acre of land. He felt that his waist was no longer his own and he couldn't straighten it. But even so, Yu Zhigan still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Your Highness, do you want me to find someone to plant the remaining two acres of land overnight tonight!"

"No, I will continue to farm tomorrow!"

Yu Zhi lies on the carriage, shouting, and rejecting Chen Wansan's proposal. Real men must do what they say, and real men must do what they say...

The next day, Yu Zhi got up all morning. Although his waist was uncomfortable, he recovered a lot under the conditioning of the imperial physician Ling Ran. He gritted his teeth and went to the edge of the field to continue farming. Although his health was not as good as yesterday, after yesterday's experience, Yu Zhi's farming speed increased a lot today. At night, only half acre of land was left.

At noon on the third day, Yu Zhigan finally completed the Haikou he had praised, and planted all three acres of land. At the same time, Yu Zhigan's compassionate farmers also became popular in Chang'an City.
Chapter completed!
