Chapter 132 Prince Gaoliang Palace Banquet
Chapter 132: Prince Gao Sora, Palace Banquet
Xu Jingzong owned only a few farms and industries, but he could not use the power of the light and could not let anyone notice it. It was easy to say but difficult to do.
If you have to monitor slowly, it may be one month or two months.
He Guangzhen took Shu'er out of the city, and another colleague accompanied him, and the other three took portraits to take a chance in front of other farms or industries in Xu Jingzong. Shu'er disguised as a book boy, and He Guangzhen and the other disguised as ordinary scholars. Shu'er looked not as beautiful as Yang Min or Xu Li, and was not attracted by attention.
After leaving the city, there was already a green field outside the city, and various crops were growing wildly. In fact, high temperatures have the benefits of high temperatures. As long as there is no shortage of water sources, it is still very beneficial to crops. But how can there be no shortage of water sources? So the crops next to the ditches grow very well, and the crops that are short of water in the distance are withering one by one.
Shu'er suddenly pointed to the southwest and said, "Look, that's the sorghum that the crown prince tried."
The crane stands out from afar and you can see it from afar.
In fact, Li Wei didn't know that this kind of crop yield was always very low. In the Tang Dynasty, the average harvest of one acre of land was only one stone. Some of them grew well and served properly and could get two stones. They didn't grow well, and they didn't grow well, and they didn't have a single stone. However, the harvest of other crops is also not good now. Otherwise, the national yield of acres would be raised in both seasons, including the fertile wilderness of Jiangnan, with only two stones. Subsequently, wheat and rice technology emerged. As the mainstream of grain, the taste of sorghum and the difficulty of removing rice were neglected. So until the beginning of the founding of China, the harvest of sorghum was only 150 kilograms in the country. Many places even used for brooms and green feed. After decades of technological innovation, it grew to more than 600 kilograms, which was the era when Li Wei grew up.
Later, when I entered the city, I heard that one thousand pounds and two thousand pounds were, one was the experimental field, and the other was the seed improvement. In most rural areas, the yield was still 100 pounds, but not more than 1,000 pounds. Of course, if sorghum reached 100 pounds in just one season, what would it mean for the Tang Dynasty? Don’t talk about the current severe drought, if there are only bumper harvests in Hebei, Jianghuai, Shannan and other roads, the country will not worry about grain supply.
So when it comes to the sorghum of these pieces of land, they talk about three or four stones one by one. This is people’s highest requirement and a dream of sorghum production in this era. If you think about it again, you won’t dare to think about it.
But at present, there are all the technologies of more than a dozen acres of experimental fields. The most advanced technology is adopted from the selection of seeds, at least the most advanced and exquisite technology in the early 1990s. The fertilizers are even better and the service is good, but the seeds are slightly worse. However, after the catalysis of these technical fertilizers, the natural evolution of biological instincts, the seeds are also mutating, so everything is possible...
"The Prince's sorrow", He Guangzhen became interested and did things for the Prince. He thought he was the Prince's person. He Guangzhen said: "Go and take a look."
There are many people watching. People in the imperial village are catching locusts. There are many things like drought, but by chance, no locust plague has been formed. The others are nearby farmers, and officials and scholars are still neglecting the more than ten acres of land.
He Guangzhen stood under the sorghum and couldn't help but say, "So high."
I don’t know the harvest, but the height of this pole is too amazing. When people drill into the sorghum field, they can hardly even see the figure.
Not all good news. Some people have made the people in the imperial village dense, but the impact is very serious. The height is not as high as possible. The spitting ears are very small. The tenants in the imperial village are very regretful. Some fields are still growing wildly because they are too fertilized. They only grow poles but not ears, which is probably not a good thing. However, half of the sorghum grows normally, and now the ears are just getting there.
But Wu Zetian was very familiar with the meaning of Buddhist scriptures. The two talked about the Diamond Sutra to the Lotus Sutra, from the Lotus Sutra to the Vimalakirti Sutra, Li Wei had to accompany each other, and he felt dizzy when he heard it. Finally, the afternoon Dharma Assembly began.
The weather was very hot, and the Dharma Assembly lasted for three days. Even the people below the stage were full of energy, and the monks on the stage could not bear it, and there were many old monks. So it ended in a while. But when the main show came, I took out some big boxes and some rosters.
The purpose of the Dharma Assembly is to promote Buddhism and save all living beings, which is to save the victims of the Guanzhong period.
Wu Zetian held Li Zhi's hand, took out some gold and silver jewelry, and put it in the box. Li Wei didn't bring anything. After thinking about it, he wrote a line of words on the register, Li Hong, Jiang Bier, and Liu Qun donated three million yuan of donations. That is, three thousand coins, but the money had to be paid out from the workshop, so the names of Jiang Bier and Liu Qun were hung. But he invisibly solved a problem for the merchant. The two priests made this move, clearly trying to blackmail them, but they didn't know how much they paid, which made the two priests happy, but they could not steal the prince's limelight.
So many 2.9 million yuan, or 2.8 million yuan appeared on the register. Fortunately, there were many people and great power. After the three-day Dharma Assembly, we had to donate more than 370,000 yuan. Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were relieved after hearing this in the palace. This was organized by themselves. Although Luoyang was not as good as Chang'an, the number was small, and neither of them had as much money as Kujiji organized the Dharma Assembly, which was ridiculous.
But many Confucian scholars were very disgusted with this Dharma Assembly.
It is not good to promote Buddhism itself. There are as many as 200,000 monks and nuns in the world. If Taoists are added, it will have a serious impact on the country. In addition, this is like different ways to ask for money, which is even more shameful.
This led to the next palace banquet, and half of the ministers fell ill due to the heat.
It is useless to have money alone, and food has to be transported into Guanzhong. This is the most important matter. So the palace banquet began, and not many merchants could enter. Only 300 merchants were selected from the two capitals to attend the banquet. At the same time, the crown prince accompanied the two prime ministers and the ministers.
Li Zhi and Wu Zetian did not attend the seat.
Bier said: "Your Highness, let you publicly accompany the merchant. If it is spread, there will be controversy..."
Even the little girl could see it, Li Wei sighed and said, "What should I do if I don't accompany you? Just think that it will make my father and mother happy."
Yan Liben and Hao Chujun were both depressed. Although they were in the table, their faces were wrinkled like bitter gourd.
No matter what, they came. But the other ministers were sick one by one and had to be absent.
In fact, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian could do this, but Li Wei agreed. There were many people affected by the drought, with as many as one million people. Not all the grains were harvested. Near the edges of rivers, streams, ditches, and some crops were harvested. In some wet and depressions, the people dug wells to get water. For example, in the city, more than one million people in Chang'an City, they did not make a living by farming. They either worked hard, engaged in business, or worked in work, and as long as the price of grain was suppressed, they would have a chance. Besides, if the price of grain was suppressed, the donations obtained from the two Dharma Clubs could get one million stones of grain and distributed to the people, and some people would be less than a little grain and could not survive. The court organized another batch. The crisis would pass.
But because it has something to do with the businessman, it becomes very complicated, and Di Renjie is like this...
He said with a respectful attitude towards the wine: "Everyone, you are good in nature and then you will be defiled. Even merchants are not traitors and evil people. At this Dharma Assembly, you will pay money and supplies for the victims. I am alone representing millions of victims. Thank you."
"Your Highness dare not." He responded in unison. He had basically never entered the palace. Although he was a big shot in the shopping mall, he was very nervous when he entered the palace. He didn't dare to drink wine or eat vegetables. In fact, when he walked to the palace and saw these tall and magnificent buildings, some merchants started to shoot their legs.
"This is the praise you deserve. Not only that, Master Kuiji organized a meeting in Xijing and said that he would turn these donations into food and hand them over to the victims. But you also saw that the court had tried his best, and the father and mother were getting thinner and thinner about this matter, and all the ministers were also unable to eat and eat. However, the Wei River was shallow and the country could not be dispatched in time. This world is the father's world, and the people are the world. The world is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and you will be able to go smoothly. The world is in chaos and the people are in chaos, and you will not go smoothly. Therefore, this is the time to work together. It is not only to raise funds, but also to grain. If you have various wonderful methods to transport food to Guanzhong, even if you go to sell it, I will also recommend several of them, one title, or even one and a half position."
After a word, the businessman began to buzz and talk.
After hundreds of years of suppression of merchants and desire for fame and fortune, these merchants were very hungry. Besides, they were not asking them to raise funds, but sold them. In fact, there was still some profit in Guanzhong's current food price gap with other departments.
Not far away, there were several merchants from Luoyang. One of them said boldly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the two emperors will refuse to do so at that time."
Li Wei walked over, pretending to be mysteriously suppressed his voice, and said, "In fact, this is also what the two priests mean. I am just afraid that the ministers will oppose it. As long as you do well, there will be countless living people in Guanzhong, and the voices of opposing it will be weaker."
Not many people heard it, but after the banquet, others would inevitably ask questions, so the spread was also very quickly.
Li Wei wiped his sweat and thought of a very bad thing in his heart, "I want to be a bitch and set up a archway..."
But Li Wei saw why he did this immediately.
The news was still revealed, and it was already very roundabout, but the memorials written by ministers and scholars from all over the country flew towards Luoyang like snowflakes again.
Some Confucian scholars even hid in the south of the bridge in Tianjin and cried, saying that the emperor first used witchcraft, then attached importance to merchants, and broke the ancestral rules and wanted to grant merchants official positions and titles. But the authentic prayer for rain has been delayed. Your Majesty, you can't be confused.
Then touch the ground with your head.
But at this moment, the court began to deal with Ming Chongyan.
