0050 Marquis of Guannei
"I don't know this, why not?"
The emperor had already tried very hard to identify this strange pattern with interlaced ink marks, but he really couldn't think of anything that matched it in his mind, and he already felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and when he saw the incredible expression on Shen Zhezi's face under the seat, he was a little annoyed and angry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This is the plough of farming, and the small people's pen skills are clumsy, so Your Majesty does not know it, and it is the fault of the small people."
Seeing that the emperor had changed his face and tone, Shen Zhezi no longer sold Guanzi. He and the emperor have not yet reached the level of familiarity and informality, but the original expectations in his heart have plummeted.
"Plough tools?"
When the emperor heard this, his face improved slightly, and then he looked down at the sketch, and only then did he vaguely recognize the parts such as the ploughshare and the ploughshare, but they were very different from the ploughshares in his impression.
Although the emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he is not ignorant of agricultural affairs. In previous years, when the emperor personally cultivated the fields, he was present, and he also dabbled a little in all kinds of agricultural tools. The reason why I didn't recognize this sketch is that on the one hand, the structure of this curved plough is different from that of today's plough tools, and on the other hand, I don't associate it with this aspect at all.
He was curious about what the young man was going to offer, but he didn't expect that it was just a farm tool, or the drawings were not physical. Disappointed, the emperor was slightly dissatisfied and said, "This is the treasure of people's livelihood that you are talking about?" ”
Shen Zhezi did not expect the emperor to be like an old farmer, and he could see the value of this plough at a glance, and explained in an orderly manner: "This plough is different from others, it is straight and curved, the plow frame is light, and the material is saved. And the ploughshare was transformed, and the turn was free......"
The emperor seemed to be listening carefully, but he had no intuitive association with what Shen Zhezi said. Although he knows that agriculture is the foundation of the society, if he knows everything about agriculture and mulberry affairs, it is really impossible.
Don't talk about the emperor, even Shen Zhezi, who talks eloquently, doesn't know the specific meaning of his words. Not to mention that he has no experience in farming in this life, and even in later life, he has almost no contact with this primitive tool. This remark was summed up by the craftsman who helped improve the farm tools, and Shen Zhezi memorized it by heart, and now retold it according to the script.
Two people who don't know how to pretend to understand, one question and one answer, with solemn expressions discussing this major innovation in the history of agricultural tools. But in fact, both the listener and the explainer are half-aware of this.
After explaining for a long time, Shen Zhezi had no new words, so he concluded: "This plow was made by the ancestors of the small people, and it was used in the countryside, and the villagers named it Shen Lang plow." Small-scale farming can store nearly half of the power of people and animals, which is quite profitable. This farming treasure, do not dare to cherish themselves, the small people are fortunate to be His Majesty, dedicated to His Majesty, for the community to celebrate. ”
The emperor didn't understand why he couldn't hear it, so he casually dealt with it perfunctorily, but when he heard that "it can store nearly half of the power of people and animals", his spirit suddenly perked, and then he picked up the sketch of the plough and carefully examined it: "This thing is so miraculous? ”
Shen Zhezi nodded seriously, he hoped that the emperor would pay attention to this matter and promote it as a serious matter, not all for the sake of inviting a name, but he did not forget to remind: "In the matter of farming, ploughing and turning the soil is only for one pile, and there is still weeding and sowing." This agricultural tool used in the four seas may not be able to multiply the cultivated land, but it can store people's power. Small households are profitable, their livelihoods are slow, and they all rely on the Holy Monarch Deze. ”
Saying this, Shen Zhezi didn't want the emperor to grant land on a large scale with this. In this era, there is no shortage of land, what is lacking is manpower. Increasing the grant of land may seem like a good thing, but heavy taxes will also be attached to the land and distributed along with it. Large tracts of cultivated land have been abandoned, and small people would rather take refuge in large households than divide their households and make a living by farming themselves.
Fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, at least in this era, there is no market. The small people could not afford the burden of taxation and servitude, and the large households did not want to reduce the productive population under their control. The imperial court has been broken many times, with little effect, and the root cause is here. As the largest landlord, the emperor spread out too much, and inevitably lacked competitiveness, which was probably one of the reasons for the weakness of the imperial family.
Sure enough, hearing Shen Zhezi's words, the emperor's enthusiasm decreased slightly. He was not ignorant of farming, and he knew that a single farm tool might improve the world, but it could not be so rapid. However, he no longer cares about this farm tool that stores people's power, and is ready to supervise and test the water with a division later.
"People say that Wuxing Shen's country is rich, and it can be seen from this subsection."
Asked the waiter to put away the sketch carefully, the emperor said with emotion. Although he is the son of heaven, he has many constraints and difficulties, and in comparison, he may not be more comfortable than Tian Shelang, who is lying on the grass.
Of course, Shen Zhezi would not be stupid enough to show off his wealth in front of the emperor, and after hearing this, he bowed again: "The small people's family is in the township, and they can cultivate the mulberry properly and save a little family resources, all because of the good governance of the royal road and the education of loyalty and righteousness. His Majesty is dressed in mountains and rivers, and the home of small people is just a wisp of clothes. ”
"Raccoon dogs also know loyalty?"
Maybe it was because the topic was discussed, or because he had been depressed for a long time, the emperor was slightly relieved in front of this young man, and sneered after hearing the words.
Shen Zhezi's face was pale, and he bowed and said, "The little people are stupid and rude, and they don't dare to hear Your Majesty's words." The land is not divided into north and south, and all are the land of Jin; There is no distinction between virtuous and foolish, and they are all Jin people. Loyalty and righteousness, the foundation of life, if the heart does not have this, it is not human! ”
When the emperor blurted out those words, he felt speechless, and when he heard Shen Zhezi's answer, his eyes lit up, and he muttered again: "The land is not divided into north and south, and it is all Jin land; No one is virtuous or foolish, and they are all the people of Jin......"
When Shen Zhezi saw the emperor's deeply touched reaction, he could probably guess that these words had set off waves in his heart, and the resentment that had been despised in poetry before had dissipated a lot. I thought in my heart whether to recite the sentence "an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood" while the iron was hot, but I quickly gave up this plan, not wanting to be too prominent.
"Xiaomin is young and shallow, and he often listens to his father's recitation at home, and he doesn't dare to forget this word to convey righteousness."
When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time, and his mood was very complicated. When he heard this, he was most touched by the heroic ambition of the world and the world. But if it comes from Shen Chong's mouth, there is no feeling of loneliness and self-pity.
The first emperor valued overseas Chinese and despised Wu Shi, although he had no choice but to be in the present. However, in the eyes of Wu people like Shen Chong, who have ambitions to do anything, they are inevitably a little thick-hearted, and they will inevitably accumulate in their chests, and then be bewitched by people like Wang Dun who are dedicated to power. Delve into the roots, in addition to hate, there is no lack of pity.
sighed for a long time, the emperor's mood became very complicated, and the conversation decreased slightly. After pondering for a while, he said: "Your father, Shen Qing, is the county of Huiji, and he should think of the kindness of the country. Observing his actions and actions, I also approve it in my heart. It is advisable to encourage yourself and not to live up to my high expectations. ”
Shen Zhezi hurriedly thanked him again, and when he realized that the emperor had the intention of ending the talks, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. What about your own title? That's it?
Seeing the hesitation on the young man's face, the emperor thought for a moment, then smiled again: "The girl in my family is my favorite treasure. If you want to be good with papaya, you must also have the beauty of Qiongju. I also want to see what the Wuzhong Qiongbud in Ji Hou's mouth is like on the day of blooming. ”
You have to have a life to see it!
Seeing that the emperor misunderstood his meaning again, even if he was unwilling in his heart, Shen Zhezi could only slander a few words. Finally, I was able to open the golden finger once, and I sent it out for nothing, but I didn't get any benefits.
After Shen Zhezi made up his mind to go home, he summoned craftsmen to produce this farm tool at full capacity, and quickly spread it in Wudi. The benefits can no longer be earned, and this naming right must be done as soon as possible.
I left Yuancheng with anger in my heart, and was placed in Taicheng to wait for a while, but I didn't expect an unexpected joy to come.
Although the emperor did not reward Shen Zhezi in person, he then issued a reward and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei, ranking as the sixth rank.
At this time, Shen Zhezi understood that the knighthood of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was really a bit chaotic. Under the king's title, there is a prince and a boy, and the founder of the country is added before the knight's title, which is the first and second grade. Under the founding title, there are county marquis, township marquis, pavilion marquis, Guannei marquis, etc. Without the founding of the marquis, the rank is below the third grade.
For example, Shen Zhezi's father Shen Chong's Wukang County Marquis looks very majestic, but in fact, it is only the third grade, and it is not as good as the founder son and founding man of the second grade. Shen Zhezi, the marquis of Guannei, not to mention, can only be said to have a knighthood, and even a household without a real seal is just an honorary title.
But something is better than nothing, and Ge Hong is getting older, so he will get mixed up with the title of Marquis of Guannai. Although Shen Zhezi is not very old, he seems to be on the same level as Xiaoxian Weng. Later, he inherited his father's family business, and there were countless tenants in the shadow of the ministry, which was more majestic than many founding county officials.
After accepting the reward in Taicheng, Shen Zhezi came alone, but when he left, he hugged him. Several carts were loaded with money and silk rewarded by the emperor, as well as two sword armorers of the imperial class, which could be used to open the way when they went out shopping in the future, which was indeed majestic. He doesn't have the problem of people nowadays stubbornly rewarding him, so naturally he will receive all the rewards as he wants.
Until Shen Zhezi left Taicheng, Yu Liang did not show up again. Although there was no danger this time, Shen Zhezi recorded this account on Yu Liang's head in his heart, and just waited for a suitable opportunity to let this guy pay it back!
