Chapter 60 Ascending
On the Double Ninth Festival, Shao Shude took his wives, concubines and children out for a trip.
I don’t know what dynasty, the emperor walked out of the palace gate less and less. At least in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor took his concubines to go out for a horse and even went out to the palace to fish at night, and was common, and it was similar in the Xia Dynasty.
The more fierce the dynasty, the more frequent and farther the emperor travels. The more prosperous the literature, the more regular the emperor becomes.
Individual differences are not ruled out, but the overall trend is indeed the case. Hu Feng of the Daxia Dynasty would definitely surpass the Tang Dynasty if nothing unexpected happens.
Shao Shude has not yet written a word for writing. There are so many emperors in the former Tang Dynasty, only Li Yuan and Li Zhi have recorded it.
A while ago, the historian who wrote "The Records of the Today" asked if he wanted to take a word "大天" and said that Mr. Song had the qualification to take a word "天" for the saint, but was rejected by Shao Shude.
There is no need, because at this time, even literati and doctors rarely call each other a word of "Phe" when they meet each other, and they are not available at all. When the sage is on a tour, they are heard from everyone from far to near.
When passing Youdu Township, Shao Shude ordered to stop and rest, and at the same time, he brought Empress Zhe, Concubine Zhao, Sister Feng, Wuzang, Yeli and other concubines into a village.
The hobby of exploring the village has really penetrated into his bones, and he doesn't let it go when he goes out for fun.
Youdu Township is a township under Youdu County, located roughly in the Yuquan Road area of Shijingshan District, Beijing in later years. The "Epitaph of Mrs. Zhang" was unearthed in 1985, saying that he died in Lu County and was buried "the origin of Shicao in Youdu Township, West Youdu County, Jicheng". There is still Shicao Village near the cemetery, and the name of the village remains unchanged after more than a thousand years.
Shao Shude entered Shicao Village.
The concubines looked at each other helplessly and became emperors. When they saw the sky, they went to the people's houses. This hobby was probably unique. Shicao Village is still there, but the people have changed most of them.
After years of war in Youzhou, there were only more than 70 households in this village. Under the ravage of war, there were only less than 50 households left. After the Daxia occupation, it sent twenty households to Hubei Road and ten to Liaodong Road under various names, and its population was sharply reduced.
Why do we say "one time"? Because the saint moved fifty households from Lingzhou in North Guandao and settled here. In other words, Shicao Village was already the mainstream place for Lingxia immigrants.
Zoom into the entire Youzhou Town, this "nuclear-making" movement has been continuing, and the number of immigrants in Kansai has increased significantly, and more than half of them are sooner or later. Perhaps this is an important reason why the situation in Youzhou and even Hebei cannot be completely stabilized.
Shao Shude stood at the entrance of the village, and his ears were full of local accent. When he was young, he just felt kind, but now he was a little more moved. Under the guidance of the county magistrate, township chief, township magistrate, Li Zheng, and village chief, he went directly into a commoner's home.
The palace people simply cleaned the yard, then brought the table, and everyone sat down in different seats.
"Is this a shiho?" Shao Shude grabbed a handful of fragrant powdery food, stuffed it a little in his mouth, and said happily. "That's it." Everyone said with a smile.
Shao Shude was very happy.
I haven't tasted this kind of food since I left Guanbei. In fact, it's just rice. The wheat is fried and ground into powder, and the taste is just that. When the conditions are difficult, it can be carried as military dry food, but generally speaking, everyone likes to eat delicious and hot cakes, and it's rare to see them - there may be many people in the Dangxiang people, and there are also many in the Khitan and Jurchen worlds.
After eating a few bites, Shao Shude became more and more excited.
Queen Zhe took a wine pot and poured him half a bowl of wine.
The decisive man also has a fragile side. Zhe Fang'ai still remembers that the saint occasionally sat down after returning to the palace, with the expression of melancholy and reminiscence on his face. So he made a few side dishes for him with his own hands, and all the charming ***ers were immediately thrown away by the saint.
A couple who have been around for nearly thirty years, who can know the saint better than her? Zhao Yu may also know her very well, but she is not a real wife after all, which is not like. "The wine tastes very positive, it's this." Shao Shude picked up the wine bowl and drank two sips, and sighed.
This wine is ground into noodles with grains and mixed with herbs. When brewing, the taste spreads and its characteristics are very obvious. He may not like to drink it much. But when drinking it at this time, a different taste surges in his heart.
When I was young, I was very poor, and I always had a low status in the army.
Everyone was very happy when they gave the wine and meat. At that time, this kind of hard wine was simply the supreme delicacy and the memory was very beautiful.
Yes, what he drank was not wine, but a recollection of the past and a remembrance of youth. After drinking, Shao Shude stood up and turned around in the yard.
The mutton is cooked in the kitchen, and the aroma is scented.
Shao Shude lifted the lid of the pot, and in addition to the meat, he also saw wild vegetable seasonings such as sand onions, wild leeks, Cistanche seedlings, Rehmannia leaves, and tangxiang grass in Guanbei.
He knew that today's "surprise visit" was arranged by the people below, but he was still very happy.
The people in Guanbei poured into Youzhou in large numbers, and his policies were being implemented. The people below were not lazy. These eating habits brought by Guanbei are proof of this.
Vegetables such as carrots, radish, coriander, mustard greens, eggplant, Uighur beans (chickpeas), gourd (h) melon, bitter peas (bitat vegetable), broccoli (spinach) and other vegetables are planted in the vegetable beds in the courtyard. The same vegetable is a small piece of land, and is very delicately maintained, and is mostly common varieties in Guanbei.
"Very good, I'm very happy." Shao Shude said: "I only have one question now, how many people in Youdu County are from Guanxi?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, there are more than 12,600 households in the twelve townships of Youdu County, more than 62,000 households, 30% from the north of Guan, 30% from the inner palace, 30% from the natives of Youzhou, and 30% from the old tribes of Youzhou, all the households and citizens of Youdu County were all registered." The magistrate of Youdu County replied.
"Okay." Shao Shude was happy.
There were nine counties in Youzhou. When he took over, there were only a few more than 200,000 yuan on the books. After cleaning up the household registration, he added tens of thousands more, and then immigrated to Hubei. The household registration chaos lasted for a year and lost a lot of people, but also increased a large number of black households, and the overall gain was greater than loss.
There are now more than 85,200 households and more than 435,800 households in Peking Prefecture, which has exceeded the number before Li Keyong attacked Youzhou, but the population structure has undergone tremendous changes.
Two-way immigration will continue.
After more than a year after he left Beijing, I don’t know if his brain was broken or why there were still people in Youzhou who were rebelled. First, the foreigners who were registered as households rebelled, and then they triggered the Han people in Youzhou to follow him. As a result, they were naturally suppressed by the imperial guards.
Naturally, Shao Shude would not tolerate them, and directly ordered that the families of these people be sent to Qianzhong for restoration. The vacancies left by them were sent to Hexi and Guanbei Second Road to immigrate.
The status of Youzhou is very important.
None of the three capitals of Daxia was established in vain and had no effect. Especially the Western Jing Chang'an and Beijing Beiping, which are involved in the two major sectors of the empire in terms of function.
*******
After leaving Shicao Village, the emperor arrived at the mountains to the west in the evening.
It was time for the setting sun to be brilliant, and the lonely turtle was circling. Shao Shude held the hands of Zhe Fangai and Zhao Yu, and stood by the cliff to enjoy the grand scenery of Peking in autumn.
"Your Majesty, will you go to war after you return this time?" Zhe Fangai was a little dissatisfied with the saint holding the two of them, but when he thought of Zhao Yu's body, his heart softened and he let it go.
"The southern towns have my own general Pingnan, and I don't plan to go." Shao Shude said. Zhe Fangai was silent.
If you don’t plan to go to the south, what about the Western Regions? The gang of foreign monks have arrived. She has summoned them in person and is currently living in Yunju Temple. The saint will summon the monks again in the next two days, and their ambitions are clear.
Zhao Yu subconsciously grabbed Shao Shude's right hand.
"This time I met Hachiro, and I was smart and clever." Shao Shude turned to Zhao Yu and said, "It's also very strong, just like I used to be. He was surrounded by a group of half of the children of Khitan chiefs, and took them to practice martial arts, learn poetry, and military strategies, and look decent."
"Your Majesty was also following a group of brothers." Zhao Yu's voice was choked when he heard the news about his son.
"Yes, there are brothers who were with me from the beginning and brothers who joined halfway through." Shao Shude sighed: "I dreamed of Wang Hui last night. He asked me, are you going to fight for a future? Are you still scared now?"
Speaking of this, Shao Shude shook his head and said, "I said that the Great Xia Kingdom has been in existence for nine years and is not as scared as before. My axe has also split into the prototype of a peaceful and prosperous era."
Break the mist,
Zhao Yu listened in vain.
"Wang Yu left with relief. Before leaving, he said that he hoped that the golden cup would be flawless." Shao Shude grabbed the hands of the two and sighed. "The golden cup is flawless..." The two chewed the meaning of this sentence silently.
The palace people brought a felt blanket to spread it on the ground, and Shao Shude pulled the two of them to sit down together.
"I must do some things." He hugged the two of them in his arms, saying, "Gods of Guanxi, I must go and see how they are doing. Ask them what difficulties they are. If you don't ask clearly, you will always have a strong foundation in your heart and it will be difficult to be at ease."
"The old land of Helong has been captured for more than 20 years. What is the scene now? I only believe in the things mentioned in the memorials of the officials. I have to see them with my own eyes before I know. I ride a fast horse and pick a place at will, so the people below cannot arrange it in advance, so that it is easier to see the real thing."
"Anxi, the former Tang town of Beiting. I can still run while I am still running. How can I be willing to do it without seeing it with my own eyes? I will not be full of regrets when I get old and sick in bed in the future."
"Before I leave, I will clear up all the hidden dangers. The prestige accumulated over the years will not cause trouble. The more I win, the less their ambitions will be exposed. However, I still have to trouble my good wife."
Zhe Fangai sighed sadly. She was nothing, but Yu Niang was like this...
"Your Majesty, take me to the West." Zhao Yu suddenly begged, "I want to go to the Qinzhou ancestral home to see it."
Shao Shude nodded first, then shook his head, obviously hesitating, and finally said, "It's still early to go to the Western Conference, let's talk about it." The palace people brought pastries and chrysanthemum wine again.
Shao Shude poured himself a bowl, half a bowl for Zhe Fangai, a bottom for Zhao Yu, then raised it, looked at the lights of thousands of families in the city of Peking, and said, "In my life, young people have learned calligraphy and swords, young people have fought hard, middle-aged people have been busy, and have been living for decades. Fortunately, I have peace in the Central Plains and changed the spring flowers of the world. Before I entrust the mud and sand, I have been with you. I am very lucky."
After saying that, I drank it all in one go.
After breaking the mist, Zhao Yu also drank it all in one go.
"Life is endless..." Shao Shude finally sighed: "Whoever comes first and who comes later will meet in Luhun Mountain in the end."
