Chapter 1174: Same illness and pity

Capital, Old Summer Palace, and Divine Hall.

Looking at the various impeachment of the Zhili governor Tang Zhiyu, Yongzheng snorted coldly. Zhili was in the capital of Jingji. He was not a deaf and blind man, so he knew why Tang Zhiyu stabbed the hornet's nest.

He picked up another note on the upper right of the document, which was the life record of Tang Zhiyu at the sticky rod.

After reading this, even Emperor Yongzheng would like to praise Tang Zhiyu's virtue and virtue.

It’s ridiculous that those people thought that if they were to turn right and wrong, they would deceive them.

If there is no sticking rod, I am afraid I will really believe those people's words.

Yongzheng narrowed his eyes and was thinking about how to deal with this matter, an eunuch came in to report that the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince asked for a meeting together.

"Travel!" Yongzheng said.

He read the memorial for a whole morning and sat a little tired, so he got up and left the imperial throne.

The Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince have arrived, and they both respectfully invite the Saint An.

Yongzheng waved his hand, called the two of them to come out with him.

Logically speaking, since the Shengjia was stationed in the Old Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace should have been overhauled long ago. After all, the specifications of the previous one were Wangyuan, which was still much worse than the layout of the Huangyuan Garden.

However, because of the lack of national treasury, Yongzheng refuted all the memorials of the overhaul of the Old Summer Palace in recent years, and only ordered people to upgrade the place where political affairs were handled into a palace; he added several places where ministers and marquis saw him, and responded in this way.

Even so, the Office of the Interior did not dare to let the emperor feel wronged and lived in the "Wangyuan" for a long time, and emptied the places around the Old Summer Palace into the Old Summer Palace.

The Sixteenth Prince came this time for a routine and asked again to build the Imperial Garden.

If the emperor did not tour the north, the Mongolian princes outside the border would take turns to visit the capital. North Korea and Ryukyu often sent envoys to Beijing to entertain foreign vassals in the Old Summer Palace, which would hurt the court's decentness.

While walking, Yongzheng listened to the Sixteenth Prince's intention to come.

He frowned slightly, and his face was hesitant.

In the past few years, every time I met with the vassal kings inside and outside, I was mostly in the palace. Even if I caught up in the Old Summer Palace, I made a special trip to Changchun Garden for the sake of the court's decency.

An emperor, who struggled for several internal and external envoys, lost his identity.

The Thirteenth Prince was listening, knowing Yongzheng's concerns, and following the Sixteenth Prince's words, he said: "Yes, the emperor, the matter of building a garden can no longer be delayed. Now the Ministry of Revenue is not as rich as in the previous two years. This garden cannot be completed in a year or two years."

His two younger brothers, one holding the inner treasury and the other holding the national treasury. Since both of them said they could build gardens, Yongzheng's brows stretched out and said, "There is no need to build a large-scale construction. Just pick up that important place and build one or two."

The Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince knew that he was frugal, so they all bowed to answer.

While talking, several people walked to the same piece of Oden.

Yongzheng was a little proud and pointed at Oden and said, "Look at this!"

"Huh? Is this wheat?" The sixteenth prince bent down and looked at the already green wheat seedlings, and said in surprise: "Isn't this sowing after the vernal equinox and harvesting before and after the Little Summer? Why do you see that the wheat is now heading?"

The Thirteenth Prince was beside him and said, "Master, is this the winter wheat mentioned by Cao Yong?"

Yongzheng nodded and said, "It's this thing. Last year, I asked him to send some seeds to Beijing when Cao Yong mentioned it. In early September last year, several agricultural officials recorded the growth situation here every day. They said that the wheat could be harvested around the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was harvested two months earlier than ordinary wheat. In the past, when wheat was harvested in the wheat fields, it could only be heavier than cabbage, radish, etc.; two months in advance, another crop could be planted."

The Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince couldn't take their eyes off when they looked at the half-acre wheat field in front of them.

Listening to the ears is false, and seeing to the eyes is true.

Even if they don’t work in agriculture and sericulture, looking at the green wheat in front of them makes them feel a little joyful.

"In this way, the capital can plant two crops a year like Jiangnan! Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, God really blesses the Qing Dynasty, so that the people will no longer suffer from the pain of no food." The Thirteenth Prince had turned around and knelt down at Yongzheng, unable to hide his excitement, and said.

The atmosphere was very warm, and the sixteenth prince also knelt beside the thirteenth prince and said with a gaze: "The last emperor promoted the planting of rice in the north, and the emperor tried to plant winter wheat. The king was kind and the people were very lucky."

Yongzheng supported the Thirteenth Prince with one hand and the Sixteenth Prince with the other, and said loudly: "I went out of Beijing in my early years and saw the people who were starved to death on the roadside. I once told myself that one day, I would let them all feel the kindness of the court. The weather and rain in Liaodong, Shandong, Henan and Shanxi are more suitable for all things to grow than in the capital. If you can plant this wheat in the capital, those provinces should be able to plant this wheat. In addition, the promising corn and sweet potatoes will be self-sufficient in the north in a few years, and you will not need to rely on the food in the south."

At the end, he was already a little moved: "I dare not ask myself to establish great achievements and achieve prosperity like the Emperor Ama. I just hope that the people can live a better life. I will be content with this emperor."

The Thirteenth Prince showed respect and said, "The emperor is kind and kind, and he can eliminate hunger and suffering for the people. Although this is not as vigorous as opening the border and breaking the ground, it is also a saintly virtue. It will be kept in history and admired by all generations."

The Sixteenth Prince is not easy to stay out of the matter, and he is full of praise.

He said, but his mood was a little complicated.

Apart from personal ethics, my elder brother is indeed a wise ruler who is diligent and loving the people. After four years of ascending the throne, the concubines in the harem were all secretly wives and concubines. In the first year of Yongzheng, the girls left in the palace were mostly given to several princes in the palace, and the emperor was unlucky.

In addition to the concubines who were granted the title of Qiandi after ascending the throne, Yongzheng only had a few palace maids, and the one with the highest title was Changzai, and there was not even a noble person.

If the emperor is really a woman, what if he adds a few concubines? If he is not lustful, he will still have a lawsuit?

The Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but complain, could this be the "love that is the beloved"? For a moment, the original disgust was reduced a lot.

Listening to the praises of the two younger brothers, Yongzheng showed a little self-deprecating on his face and said, "Holy virtue? Benevolent lord? If I don't write me as a tyrant who is unforgivable, I will thank the Bodhisattva. I looked at the censors earlier, and I heard that they were just loving their reputations, which was not despised. This time I impeached Tang Zhiyu, I have seen what it means to 'point a deer for a horse' and 'nothing makes trouble for nothing'!"

Speaking of this, he felt a little sympathy for Tang Zhiyu...

Qingyuan, Governor's Office.

The memorial to defend Tang Zhiyu was handed over for half a month. When Cao Yong saw the reply, he saw that the memorial was a memorial and red comment: "I know. Tang Zhiyu is diligent, so you must not slack off. In addition, I want to promote the planting of winter wheat and seeds in Henan, Shanxi and Shandong. I still need to pay attention to it."

When Cao Yong saw the imperial criticism, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The word "diligence" looks nothing, but Cao Yong knew that Yongzheng loved the most was a diligent minister. He was the one who would do everything himself. Seeing the princes who were good at using it, he was exhausted. The important officials he praised were all desperately.

Tang Zhiyu, this is a holy eye and the future is promising.

Cao Yong left the memorial, immediately called someone, and went to the yamen of the governor to invite Tang Zhiyu to come over to discuss matters.

It is already early April, and there is only less than a month left before the wheat harvest. It is necessary to convey the local area and collect wheat seeds, and life is also relatively hasty.

This winter wheat must be planted before mid-September at the latest.

From harvesting wheat seeds to transporting wheat seeds to various places, it only takes several months and without careful planning, it will take a long time to miss the wheat crop this autumn.

The yamen of the governor's office was not far from the yamen of the Governor's office. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Tang Zhiyu arrived in sweat.

In the past two months, Tang Zhiyu's life has not been easy.

He was not afraid of other people's dirty water, and did not put the praise and criticism on his heart. He just felt uncomfortable, and because of his reasons, he involved his aunt and several cousins.

The other two cousins ​​passed the Jinshi, one served as the head of the Sixth Ministry and the other served as the magistrate in Shandong. He was implicated and stigmatized, which made him feel guilty and uneasy.

Seeing that Tang Zhiyu was sweating, Cao Yong felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly asked someone to look at the tea and said, "It's noon, the sun is enough, what can I do if Yigong walks a few steps slowly? Take a few bites of tea and slowly."

Tang Zhiyu sighed and thanked Cao Yong, took two sips of tea, and said, "It's because Bei Zhi is anxious... The lord summoned him temporarily. I think there are important things to order, so Bei Zhi dare not delay it."

Cao Yong gestured with a note in his hand and said, "The note I put on a few days ago mentioned the farming matters. The emperor gave a red note and wanted to buy it in Jin, Luyu and other places in winter, and ordered the wheat seeds to be kept in Zhili."

When talking about political affairs, Tang Zhiyu's face added a bit of solemnity.

The wheat seeds in the three provinces are not a small number. His family is a scholarly family, but he has read agricultural books and planted farmland. It is not just harvested wheat, but can be used as wheat seeds.

Weeds should also choose the best wheat to grow good wheat.

Next, the two discussed the matter of getting people to go down to choose seeds.

This is the emperor's order, so it cannot be ambiguous, so as not to be deceived by the officials below; it cannot be made big, otherwise if you are not careful, you will alarm the local area and may disturb the people.

In addition to a number of official fields, the selection of private fields must also be purchased at a reasonable price so that the people will not suffer losses.

When talking about this, Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu both showed a little smile on their faces.

Fortunately, the Zhili vassal treasury is now sufficiently rich, which is not troublesome.

Sure enough, you need to have money to be calm.

After discussing, the two decided to draw thirty people from the Governor's Office and twenty people from the Governor's Office, and to send them to various prefectures and counties to specialize in selecting wheat seeds.

Both of them were decisive and decisive. Since they had made decisions, they did not procrastinate. The next day, they arranged for someone to take the official documents from the Governor's Office and leave the Qingyuan.

A few days later, a news came from the capital, which made the trend of the Zhili officialdom become strange again.
