Chapter 299: Jealousy, Di Bao
After dealing with many things, the sun is already about to set. Yang reformed out of the Wenhua Palace, looked at the end, only to know that the day had passed, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, it was not easy to be an emperor, and it was not easy to be a good emperor.
Wang Chengen followed behind the emperor, waiting, and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to Qianqing Palace or Kunning Palace for dinner?" Wang Chengen saw that it was not too early, and it was time for dinner, so he asked the emperor to go to that place to eat.
"Let's go to Kunning Palace." Yang reformed the decision quickly.
"Yes, Your Majesty...... Take the Kunning Palace......" Wang Chengen shouted.
As soon as Yang Reform stepped up, the highly nervous spirit relaxed, and was shaken by the kind of swaying steps, and came to sleep, and fell asleep crooked on the chariot, and today he "fought" with the ministers, dealing with things, fooling people, and the spirit was running at high intensity for a day.
Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was asleep on the chariot, and ordered the little eunuchs to slow down and slow down. So, the emperor slept on the chariot, and the whole team crawled towards the Kunning Palace at a turtle speed.
…… Yang Reform was in a dream, and he didn't know how long it had been, when he heard another call in his ear.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to Kunning Palace."
Yang Reform's consciousness quickly sobered up, and when he heard Wang Chengen calling himself, he opened his eyes, and the place had already changed from Wenhua Hall to Kunning Palace.
"It's almost there? Companion, how long have I been asleep? Yang Gai felt that the sleep just now was really quality, the sleep was really sweet, and now, he was full of energy.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty came out of the Wenhua Hall and arrived here, less than half an hour, about two quarters." Wang Chengen replied.
"Two moments? Oh, I see. "Two moments, that is, half an hour, thirty minutes, Yang Reform thought about the distance from Wenhua Hall to Kunning Palace, and knew that Wang Chengen saw that he slept soundly, so he estimated that he would walk slowly. Yang Gai shook his head, it seems that he likes to sleep on the chariot, and the quality of sleeping in this place seems to be quite good.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang has come out to greet Your Majesty." Wang Chengen said again.
Yang Reform didn't pay attention, and when he looked back, sure enough, his main palace lady came out of Kunning Palace to pick him up.
"Wan'er, you are pregnant, don't be too tired, pay attention to rest." Yang Reform didn't wait for Zhou Wan'er to ask for peace, so he hurriedly supported Zhou Wan'er, very careful, for fear of bumping into it, as a first-time father, he was naturally very happy.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is so delicate, how long has it been now! It's not that she can't walk anymore, and she is still bothered by His Majesty's support, and the concubines can't afford it......" Zhou Wan'er was very happy to let the emperor support her, blushing and said, although she is almost a mother, but this habit of blushing easily has not faded.
Yang Gengai looked at Zhou Wan'er's stomach, helped Zhou Wan'er, and said, "Alas, ......, Wan'er, how can you say that, be careful, be careful!" ”
Yang Gai supported his wife and entered Kunning Palace with affection.
"Your Majesty, the concubine received a letter from my father, saying that she had started to buy sugarcane land in Guangxi, and the letter also said that the weather there is not at all different from the north, it often rains, it is very humid and hot, it is not like the north is always dry, and it is easy to get dust...... "As soon as Zhou Wan'er met, she talked about what she was urging.
"Huh, huh? Buying land? That's a good feeling, I hope my father-in-law can buy more sugarcane this year! It's best to make a lot of money. "Yang reform's move is an idle move, maybe useful, maybe useless, now, Yang reform himself doesn't know how to evaluate this move, but in order to deal with the natural disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is idle chess, even if it is useless, you have to go on a journey, and you have to give it a try.
...... "Wan'er, is there any movement in your stomach today?" Did my son kick someone? "Yang Reform and Zhou Wan'er are pulling homely cooking, Wang Chengen is already passing the meal, the meals are in accordance with the emperor's requirements, try to save as much as possible, according to Yang Reform's meaning, two people eat, one has three or five dishes, it is enough, more is called luxury, but now that the queen is pregnant, this dish is full of a table, Yang Reform is no longer called thrifty, what should be eaten, what should be used, it is a lot.
"Your Majesty, there's movement so soon! It's only been a few months! Zhou Wan'er said with a happy face.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that my son will kick someone, and the injured Wan'er!"
"Your Majesty is really joking......"
The two of them laughed, all the dishes had been put on the table, and a large table full of food was ready to eat.
"Hehehe...... Your Majesty, the ancients said: Eat without words, sleep without words. Your Majesty, after eating, don't tease the concubine, otherwise, the concubine won't be able to eat......" Zhou Wan'er made Yang Reform laugh, and now that it's time to eat, she will be excused, otherwise, she won't even be able to eat.
"Okay, I'll stop laughing, concentrate on eating...... come, let's go, I'm really hungry." Yang Reform was really hungry and busy all day.
Zhou Wan'er couldn't eat at all, she just accompanied the emperor to eat with a bowl, but Yang Gai threw off her arms and ate a lot, no way, she was so hungry that she was in a very good mood, so she naturally ate a lot.
Zhou Wan'er also moved a few chopsticks, and when she saw that the emperor was eating happily, she was also happy.
After a while, the meal was finished, and the eunuchs were allowed to withdraw from the meal.
Yang Gengai ate a mouth full of oil, wiped his mouth, and felt comfortable, life really needs to eat a large piece of meat, a big bowl of wine [the farmer's home-brewed rice wine is the most suitable, comfortable to drink], you need to be able to eat heartily, and those who can eat are blessed.
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Liulizhai's sister Sun has made a great contribution, and Your Majesty and the ministers have discussed rewarding Sister Sun, I don't know if it's true." Zhou Wan'er saw that the emperor was happy and tried to mention the matter.
"Oh this! It's true, Li Niang invented the weighing instrument, and Wan'er also knows that the important surname of this weighing instrument is no less than the previous Ding, which is the important treasure of the country and the opportunity to maintain the unification of the world, hehe, this matter is important, and it should naturally be rewarded, but it is a pity that Li Niang is not a man, otherwise, there will not be only a seven-grade loose official...... "Yang Reform explained.
"Hmph......, Your Majesty is biased......" Zhou Wan'er pursed her lips and gave Yang Reform a big "dissatisfied" expression.
"Wan'er, what's wrong? Where am I eccentric? Yang asked reform.
"Your Majesty is not partial, isn't that weighing instrument of Sister Sun made for Sister Sun by Your Majesty? Wan'er doesn't believe it, a woman can make this kind of thing, and His Majesty can help Sister Sun make one, so why don't you make one for Wan'er? Wan'er also wants to help His Majesty make a tripod......" Zhou Wan'er revealed her thoughts.
"Ahh ......" Yang Reform was stunned, he didn't expect that this kind of thing can also work, even the tripod has to be made again, can this tripod be wholesaled? This is jealousy, serious jealousy!
“…… What, Your Majesty ...... and angry? Zhou Wan'er asked pitifully.
"No......, no, I mean, that weighing instrument is called a thermometer, which is used to measure temperature, and can measure the specific value of temperature, the same as a ruler, so it is called a weighing instrument, and that thing is made of glass, Wan'er, now this Da Ming, can make glass, except for Liulizhai, there is no one else? It's not that I'm biased! Yang Reform hurriedly explained, this matter, can also be jealous...... "Then Your Majesty will help Wan'er make one, Wan'er doesn't want glass, and others are fine, but also like Sister Sun, you must have merit and social merit, and you can contribute to the Ming Dynasty...... "Zhou Wan'er decided that Sun Liniang's weighing instrument was given by the emperor, and she asked the emperor to make him something that can be famous for eternity.
"Ahh This ...... "Yang Gai found that women are jealous, and they are also very arrogant, can this thing be invented casually?
"Your Majesty didn't say no, then Wan'er just took it as Your Majesty agreed, Your Majesty treats Wan'er really well......" Zhou Wan'er immediately ran to Yang Reform's side and affectionately pulled Yang Reform's arm.
"Ahh This ...... "Yang Gai realized that he might be in trouble." He is a man with three thousand beauties, if each one has to invent a weighing instrument and make a tripod ......, Yang Reform thought of the outside of the Qianqing Palace, which was full of three thousand large and small tripod ......, "Ah! This ......, this, I'll talk about it later, and then talk about it......" Yang Gai found that women's vinegar strength was not ordinary, and he had no place to reason.
"No, Wan'er wants, wants, Your Majesty has promised Wan'er, Wan'er can wait for Your Majesty's good news......" Zhou Wan'er shook Yang Reform's arm vigorously, and bought and sold it there by force, not giving Yang Reform a chance to shirk at all.
"......" Yang Gai shook his head.
"Good! …… Okay, I think of a way, I think of a way, I think of a way, it is ......" Yang Reform had to compromise, if he hesitated for a while, his arm would be shaken.
"Hehehe, Your Majesty treats Wan'er really well......" Zhou Wan'er was very happy, so she was satisfied, so she didn't shake her arms again, and heard that Sun Liniang made a weighing instrument, and the emperor and the ministers discussed the news of rewarding, Zhou Wan'er felt a lot of pressure, a woman, can be affirmed by the emperor and the courtiers, and be crowned, what a great merit, now, Sun Liniang's virtuous name, I am afraid that it will soar, and there is a tendency to approach her as the queen, Zhou Wan'er feels that since you can rely on the emperor to make a weighing instrument, you can too, so, There is this scene of forced buying and selling, and I have to compete with Sun Liniang.
It's only hard for Yang to reform, and he needs to search his intestines and scrape his stomach to get another "ding" out.
…… June 22.
Yang Reform got up early in the morning, he was still busy with political affairs, and tomorrow was the twenty-third, which was agreed with the ministers to talk about tax collection, and Yang Reform had to prepare something.
"Big companion, let someone spread Fan Weicheng, I want to see him." Yang reformed and commanded.
"Your Majesty, but the Fan Weicheng who was in charge of the Wei case before?" Wang Chengen asked uncertainly.
"Yes, that's him." Yang Gai said.
"The slave obeys, and this will be passed on." Wang Chengen agreed, and then went out to explain.
Yang Reform is still criticizing and sparse. It is said that it is a review, but it is a little eunuch reading, Yang Reform listened to it and then gave his opinions, and then the eunuch made instructions, sometimes he would personally look at it, or write a few words to mean it, but most of them were just listening, and those who were not interested in it passed and handed over to the cabinet to deal with.
After a long time, Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Fan Weicheng has arrived, does Your Majesty want to see you?" ”
"See you." Yang Gai said, the review stopped, and the little eunuchs went out.
Fan Weicheng hadn't seen the emperor for a while, thinking that the emperor had forgotten him, but now he finally looked forward to the father-in-law who passed the decree, and he was very happy, the emperor didn't forget himself! He handled the Wei case for the emperor and issued a "fine", but he did not make any less efforts, but the emperor threw him into the Shiban, although he had promised, but when he fulfilled it, it depends on the emperor's surname and mood.
"Chancellor Fan Weicheng knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Fan Weicheng is kowtowing.
"Get up." Yang Gai looked at it, it was Fan Weicheng, no different from a few months ago.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Fan Weicheng got up after thanking him. Waiting for the emperor to speak, to see what his fate will be.
"Fan Weicheng, how are you reading in the Jinshi class? Can there be growth? Yang Gengai asked first with concern.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister studied in the Jinshi class, came into contact with a lot of new things, learned a lot of knowledge, and the minister benefited a lot." Fan Weicheng said confidently. Fan Weicheng was sent to the Jinshi class by the emperor to study, and I heard that the learning content of the Jinshi class is all set by the emperor, and the book of the merit test is completely different from the book, so I also put my mind to sincerely study the content selected by the emperor, since it was selected by the emperor, since it is to follow the emperor, then, the emperor's preferences and hobbies must naturally be taken seriously, otherwise, the emperor will ask about the things of the new course, and I don't know, then the previous efforts will be in vain.
"Oh? Hehe, what did you learn? Yang Reform asked, the Jinshi class, is to popularize knowledge for the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, will be used as a criterion for whether it is "their own people", if the Jinshi class can not "graduate", Yang Reform is ready to deal with those who can not graduate, some remote yamen, the deserted Yamen is the destination of these people, the new course has good academic performance, will naturally arrange some good positions, which causes the bureaucrats to study the rules of their own subjects seriously, and so on "own people" can support the government, I am either reforming, or doing something unthinkable, and I will not be alone.
"Back to Your Majesty, learn arithmetic, the minister understands a lot of arithmetic, and many arithmetic operations can be calculated without a pen or an abacus." Fan Weicheng replied confidently.
"Very well, I'll test you." Yang Reform is setting rules for these bureaucrats.
"Your Majesty, please." Fan Weicheng agreed.
"What is three plus two minus five?" Yang reformed and blurted out without thinking.
"Zero, Your Majesty, I don't know if the minister is right?" Fan Weicheng was quick to give the answer.
"Hehe, yes, how much do you get for three sevens?" Yang asked again.
"Three-seven-twenty-one, Your Majesty ......" Fan Weicheng replied happily, these questions from the emperor are really simple.
"Hehe, not bad......" Yang Reform has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, but he has forgotten the little mathematics left, and he can come up with a few such questions in a while, and it can be regarded as an exam. Yang is embarrassed, it seems that this world has the function of assimilating itself, and he has only been in the Ming Dynasty for a few days? I don't remember a lot of what I learned before.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Fan Weicheng was very happy.
Yang Reform was depressed for a while, his own business has not been done, he is still ready to affect the world, he didn't expect this world, but he affected himself first, why did the knowledge he learned before become more and more blurred.
"Fan Weicheng, today, I summoned you to ask you, do you know anything about Di Bao?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister also knows a little about the Di Bao, the Di Bao is a way for the local officials and scholars to contact and listen, with the Di Bao, the decision-making of the imperial court, the appointment, etc., can make the local ...... known" As an official, and as an official of the county, Fan Weicheng is no stranger to the Di Bao.
"Okay, then I ask you, what is the name of the organization that manages the newspaper?" Yang asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's the Secretary for Political Affairs." Fan Weicheng replied.
"Well, it's good that you know, but do you know how big the number of newspapers is?" Yang continued to ask.
"Back to Your Majesty, the newspaper is generally copied by hand, so fastest, some need to be engraved and printed to print, and then compiled into a newspaper, the number is quite large, and there are many people in Beijing and various provinces and governments who rely on copying newspapers to make profits...... Fan Weicheng said what he knew.
"Very good, Di Bao's important surname, do you understand?" Yang asked again.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister understands that the newspaper is a place for uploading and disseminating, many of which involve the secrets of the imperial court, so when copying, you need to be cautious, those that cannot be sent, those that can be sent, those that need to be deleted, all need to be corrected one by one, otherwise the newspapers that should not be sent are copied out, and the harm is endless......" The Ming Dynasty's Di Bao was quite developed, in addition to the emperor's decree, there were also ministers' recitals, court decisions, appointments and other major events, as well as bureaucrats' opinions on something, or discussions on something, even, The strange people and wonders of certain places are also listed in it, and there is no difference between them and the newspapers of later generations. [The movable type printed newspaper can now be determined that Chongzhen appeared in the tenth year, so the Ming Dynasty's Di newspaper was quite developed. 】
"Okay, now that you understand, it's good, I always feel that this newspaper needs a competent person to help me watch, some should not be on the newspaper, some need to be promoted, need to be promoted, these need to be handled by a person, this person must be able to understand my intentions, is my confidant, can deal with this aspect of the problem for me, I think about it, I thought of you, I was originally going to let you go to the household department, but now I want you to go to the Department of Affairs, specifically to help me manage the newspaper, I don't know if you want to go."
