Chapter 45

Before Song Wen refused, Taishi and the Ministry of Industry couldn't stand up, and came out to express their opposition.

Taishi said: "Your Majesty, the design and construction of the imperial palace is a rehearsal of the five elements. One palace and one hall correspond to the stars. Every step and every scene are placed on the human harmony, so as to bless Dali forever. , Broken the luck of the ancestors, this action is absolutely unacceptable. I beg the emperor to take it back!"

The official from the Ministry of Industry said earnestly: "Your Majesty, there are few fields in Dali Dynasty and a lot of wasteland. The imperial court has issued policies to benefit the people by reclaiming wasteland. Why do you need to go to war with the palace to reclaim the fields? We are a big country, so poor, It really loses the status of a big country. Besides, breaking ground is a waste of money and people, and the Ministry of Industry is currently constructing water conservancy and other fortifications all over the country, so it really can't spare the energy to rebuild the imperial city."

The Ministry of Finance quickly followed up: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty!"

These three departments all shed tears in front of the emperor, wishing to learn from death.As for the culprit—Song Wen, it was the gathering of all the hatred, and it would be light to be stared at. Those eyes could not be turned into knives, and killed the magistrate of Chang'an who was bewitched by lies!

All the officials in the court deeply felt that it was time for Song Wen to leave the capital and change his position as Chang'an county magistrate.For young people, it is better to go to places to experience more before they know how to measure.

Song Wen took it calmly, the emperor is the emperor after all, a word can make half of the court glare at him, he is worthy of being an emperor under the art of imperial power!

This time even Xiao Lue stared back, but he couldn't stop the anger of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Industry and Taishi.

The emperor pretended to be a big-tailed wolf and said: "What you love are saying is very true, but what I think is wrong. Song Aiqing, I am afraid that this imperial city will not work, but with your talent, you will definitely be able to come up with a good solution."

"My lords have thought carefully, it's because the lower officials are superficial, fortunately, the emperor doesn't blame me."

Song Wen looked deeply educated, thanked several ministers, and then thanked the emperor, his face was full of gratitude for the emperor's kindness, Dengfeng's acting skills are hard to tell at this moment!

But Song Wen was not such an arrogant person, he was smiling, and he had already prepared some countermeasures in his heart, if he suffered a loss at the court today, he would definitely let them suffer back at the court.

Therefore, although there are twists and turns in the upper court today, "everyone is happy" in the lower court.

Song Wen transplanted the remaining seedlings in the yamen directly to Xiaolue Zhuangzi, temporarily opened a square paddy field, waited for the paddy field to moisten well, and then transplanted them. The height of the planting, but at least it was all moved over, and the paddy fields on the side of the Yamen also left enough room for growth.

It is not easy to fertilize the rice planted in the yamen, especially the fertilizers that are not produced by modern technology. Most of them are human and animal manure as fertilizers, and the taste is very unsuitable for house planting.

So Song asked to raise fish in the rice fields to form a rice-fish symbiosis system, let the fish eat the weeds in the rice fields, loosen the soil for the rice fields, provide fertilizers, etc., and make the rice and field fish grow healthier. tasty.

In modern times, Song Wen liked the rice milled from rice and fish the most. It is sweet, sticky and full of elasticity. Even if it is cooked in a rice cooker, the steam from the boiling water in the pot can be fragrant.This kind of rice costs more than ten yuan a catty even if it is bought in the place of origin. If it is out of the place of origin, the price will double.

That field fish is also delicious!Song Wen used to eat red carp in modern times. The local fish has been cultivated for thousands of years to breed this species. After frying without scales, you can eat crispy, raw and sweet fish skin. If he doesn't eat fish skin, he can eat several skins.

The rice-fish symbiosis is delicious on the one hand, and it looks good.The red field fish shuttled back and forth among the earthy ground, cool water, and emerald green rice. They rolled up their trousers and went to the field to catch the field fish. They might even touch the snails and loaches with one foot.The endless emerald green rice fields, the red field fish in the water, and a boy frolicking in his trousers, the scenery is picturesque casually!

Song Wenguang remembered how to eat, so he took the fishing net arrogantly, and fished red carp fry from the fish pond in Xiaolue Zhuangzi.As for how the steward Zhuangzi watched with pain as he messed up the few red carp fry that he had managed to raise, Song Wen... just ignored it.

You must know that after the fish lays the eggs, if the fish eggs are not separated from the adult fish in time, the adult fish will definitely eat the fish eggs clean.Zhuangzi was in charge because Xiao slightly asked to grow some rice seedlings, which was delayed for some time. In addition, after planting more water seedlings, there were many things to do. rare.

At this moment, it's all called Song Wen's fishing! ! !

Song Wenlao's excitement was caused by Xiao Lue for nothing. After thinking about it, he decided to express it: "When the field fish is ready, I will cook it for the general. Fry it with peanut oil until the skin is crispy, and then roll it in the water. , put the sweet and crispy winter bamboo shoots, the soup is boiled into milky white, the soup is fresh and sweet, and the bamboo shoots are so fresh that you can eat your tongue."

Xiao Lue looked at Song Wen and nodded seriously, feeling that Song Wen who was talking about this seemed to be covered in a layer of light, dazzlingly bright.

Song Wen said with a smile: "Before the rice is harvested, there are too many field fish to eat. They can also be made into dried field fish, which are crispy and fragrant when eaten directly. They can also be used to make noodle soup. The best thing is fried rice noodles."

"Dried powder?" Xiao slightly puzzled.

Well, at this time, there is no noodles or noodles in the north.And in addition to the local area in modern times, dried powder is also rare.It is a type of flour that is between coarse flour and fine flour, and has a tougher texture.

Song Wen really couldn't explain it, so he could only sum it up roughly: "When the time comes, I'll cook it for you."

Xiao Lue's visible happiness was no longer the kind with a slight smile or pursed lips, but the kind with curved brows and eyes, with eyes as deep as the sea.When Song Wen said this, he immediately understood that Song Wen would at least not resign from office or return to his hometown until the rice and fish harvests were abundant.

After tossing rice and fish for ten days in a row, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest on the mountain for a few days.When the fry grow up, they still need to feed supplementary food, change water and dry the fields, etc., but there is no need to worry about those for the time being.

When he was free, Song Wen put on the agenda the matter of returning the losses he suffered last time.

Song Wen summoned the yamen servants in the yamen, and issued a notice, informing all the people in Chang'an City to requisition all the open spaces on both sides of the streets in the city, leaving only the repaired places in front of the private houses.And from the day the notice was issued and before the Yamen surveyed, all private houses in the city were not allowed to break ground in front of their own houses and enclose land without authorization.

All measurements will be completed within three days. If there is any objection, you can go to the Yamen to report within three days after the measurement by the Yamen. The Yamen will designate officials to handle the declaration-related issues.

Notices were posted in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City overnight!

The news spread among the people overnight.

But the people don't quite understand, what does this yamen need the open space on both sides of the road for?It is really empty on weekdays and is of no use. There are only a few areas where spontaneous markets will be formed and used to set up stalls. However, these are temporary and cannot be occupied for a long time, otherwise the yamen will also be in charge.

All in all, it was really a useless land that was empty.

But for those officials' families and rich households, it's a different matter.The gates of their houses are always built grander and grander. There is a lot of open space, and occasionally they tie up horses. They really can’t tell what the use is, but they don’t know what it will be used for when they are expropriated by the yamen. They instinctively don’t want to. Resist immediately.

Those who had no way out went to the Yamen.Didn't it mean that those who have objections can go to the Yamen to declare.

And those who were officials in the court, without hesitation, submitted the papers one after another, and jointly participated in the Song Dynasty.

It is rare for the emperor to be free for a few days. The last time there was no one to visit Song Wen in the last court, he was talking about it, but who would have thought that it would be time for the next court in a few days, and Song Wen had a big one. The ginseng is gone, the courtiers should join hands to join in the ginseng!

When the servant was dragged to speak by the emperor, he didn't know what to say.

Master Song is really capable!

Song Wen really thought about it, those officials and families with huge houses would not agree, the notice said three days, but he mobilized all the servants in the yamen, and everyone in the general's mansion, even Xiao Lue and himself The contact measured all the energy in the streets and streets of Chang'an City.

And the next day, when officials big and small were busy attending him, the Chang'an county government quickly issued another notice.

This is because the yamen has completed the full-length Ancheng measurement plan beyond expectations, and has calculated that there is a lot of vacant land, so it is decided that the yamen will issue seedlings so that all the people in Chang'an can use all the open space to grow vegetables or food.

If anyone is unwilling to plant, they must report to the Yamen within three days, and the Yamen will also appoint officials to handle this matter.If the yamen still does not agree to the planting after the yamen's intervention, then the vacant land will be taken over by the yamen, and the yamen will send special personnel to plant it.

The output after planting in the open space is different from that planted in government offices and common people.The land planted by the yamen is the vacant land owned by the yamen, and all the output is collected by the yamen, and the land planted by the people, the yamen is responsible for planting the seedlings, and occupies a layer of the harvest. The land planted by the people is free of all taxes!

And this morning at the court, the emperor asked his servants to read the crimes listed in the booklet jointly signed by the courtiers to participate in Song Wen, when he heard the latest news from outside the palace, it was still about Song Wen.

The emperor asked the servant who got the news to directly explain to the court what Song Wen had done again.

When the servant finished talking about the new announcement from the yamen, all the courtiers were going to faint, and those who wanted to jump, and some of them both wanted to do it. I didn't know whether to jump first or faint first.

emperor:"……"

The courtiers said one after another, otherwise the two crimes should be combined into one case?Take back the previous joint booklets first, and then upload them again when they don't publish today's one?Regardless of whether the rules are acceptable or not, anyway, Song asked them to participate!If it doesn't work, then they will go to court today, and they will immediately make up another book, or jointly participate in the Song Dynasty!
