DAY 044 The Meichen Bai Minghe
Bai Minghe returned to the capital and when he solved the use of water in Bali Sanshier Village, Laishui County, it had already been reported.
I said before that there is a way to solve the problem with the white name crane, but now it is really solved.
The Ministry of Works reported to the upper hand that it was pertinent. The construction of Qingquan Mountain was good, but it was too simple. Some parts should be improved in the winter next year before they could become a century-old project. Especially the dam, which can be built higher and larger, and several valves also need to be rebuilt, and they can be controlled freely when water is cut off.
The valve of this one made by Bai Minghe cannot be closed when it is opened.
There is only one way to stop water. Open the pottery tube at the top to degass it, so that the siphon can lose the water pressure.
But these are not the things Bai Minghe has to worry about. This time he came back and pulled back dozens of matches. It was time for him to start giving gifts to the homes of all the Beijing officials.
Before doing the specific work, Bai Minghe wanted to go to the palace to ask for an imperial edict, which was the handwritten order that Zhu Qiyu rewarded all officials.
In the palace, Zhu Qiyu was about to have lunch when he heard that the white-known crane was coming, and he actually gave the white-known crane a special gift to sit under the steps and give him an imperial banquet. What a great honor.
While eating, Zhu Qiyu casually said: "This spring is the first time I have cultivated myself. I am very happy to hear that Master Bai is in Qingquan. Farming is the foundation of a country and the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. Da Cai went to inquire about your reservoir, which can add at least 50,000 stones of grain to Laishui County every year. This is a great achievement."
Bai Minghe quickly stood up: "I just wanted to solve some of my own troubles at first, but who would think things became more and more difficult. I just took the opportunity to do this. Seeing the villagers happy, I felt very warm. After all, it was a good thing. I dare not take credit. Thousands of elders in the eight miles and thirty-two villages worked hard for a month to get Qingquan Mountain today!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded with a smile, Bai Minghe at least didn't say nonsense.
He sent someone to investigate all this. As Bai Minghe said, it was upgraded step by step. In the end, Bai Minghe was a little crazy when he was young, so he let go of his courage to take on this matter. No matter what, the result was success.
"Bai Aiqing." Zhu Qiyu actually changed his name, and Bai Minghe's heart tightened.
Zhu Qiyu asked, "This is my first time personally farming. What is Bai Aiqing's idea?"
Bai Minghe was a little stunned, and Eunuch Cai whispered and quickly explained next to Bai Minghe with tactfulness.
Bai Minghe understood that the Tumu Fort's change was in autumn, and something big happened later. When Daizong ascended the throne, spring plowing had already passed. So this was the first time.
Eunuch Cai explained in detail some arrangements of the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Qiyu just ate his lunch slowly and looked at Bai Minghe's reaction from time to time.
Bai Minghe finally understood that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to be outstanding.
To put it bluntly, Bai Minghe just built a reservoir and asked thousands of people to establish a card of immortality for him. Zhu Qiyu is the emperor, and he wants more. What he wants now is the people's hearts. After all, he is a bit wrong, and the emperor is still under house arrest in the Nangong.
After thinking about it over and over again, Bai Minghe was about to speak.
"Bai Aiqing, if you have a good idea, tell me in the study." After that, he asked Eunuch Cai to give him a few dishes to Bai Minghe.
This dish is really good, but Bai Minghe ate it badly.
Eating in front of the emperor is very stressful, and you should pay attention to your eating habits. You should not even have a few chopsticks to eat when you are delicious.
After lunch, Nan Study Room.
"Long live. I have an idea!" Bai Minghe had already thought about it on the way to come. "Let's start with the mountains and rivers!"
The mountain and river altar is the first farmer's altar in later generations. The white-known crane only learned after hearing the talk of Eunuch Cai that there is no first farmer's altar. The mountain and river altar is only built thirty years ago. The white-known crane in later generations has also been there, and he also heard the tour guide explain the emperor's own farming, which is very different from what Eunuch Cai said just now.
According to Bai Minghe's idea, there must have been improvements later.
Especially in the early Qing Dynasty, this improvement was even greater and became more gorgeous.
"Tell me, I believe you." Daizong Zhu Qiyu said to believe you again. Bai Minghe didn't know whether this meant trust or believed that he had good suggestions.
"Long live, I think I will first change the name of the Shanchuan Temple. Then build a main hall and set up a special office. This name, I think, is called Xiannong Temple!"
After Bai Minghe finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Go to pass on the book for reading. Give Bai Aiqing some snacks."
"Long live thanking!" Bai Minghe quickly saluted.
When Eunuch Cai went out to pass the message, he secretly gave Bai Minghe a thumbs up.
Soon, Cheng Jing arrived. After delivering his salute, Zhu Qiyu asked Bai Minghe to say it again.
After hearing this, Cheng Jing said, "The old slave of Cheng thought that Bai Zhuo was a master of this strategy. Xiannong was one of the gods of the six kingdoms, known in history as the Emperor's Society. It was called Xiannong in the Han Dynasty. That is, Emperor Shennong. The mountain and river altar was changed to Xiannong altar, and the main hall of sacrifices and special sacrificial offices were added. This is to tell the people that Long Live is important to the farmers."
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and Cheng Jing also said it was OK, then it would be really good.
"At least, the main hall can be built after long live this year. This meaning must be released first. I just don't know, what better advice would you give me?"
"Bai Aiqing talks about it!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was already filled with joy.
Bai Minghe stood up: "Long live, among the regulations given by the Ministry of Rites. Only Long live to support the plow, this is probably not enough. I think, please ask the famous Shuntian Mansion, who is highly virtuous and respectful to the public to come to the old man to pick up the cow, and then choose a very famous filial son to help Long live to support the plow. This also reflects Long live to love the people, and to govern the country with benevolence and filial piety, and put the people's farming first."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhu Qiyu was only twenty-two years old after all, which sounded great.
Cheng Jing also echoed on the side: "I think this is excellent when Master Bai said this."
"Stay going on!" Zhu Qiyu was really interested.
"There is not enough agriculture alone. Taizu has his own teachings and talks about promoting agriculture and sericulture. People have food to eat and clothes to wear this is a prosperous era!" Bai Minghe's words made Zhu Qiyu a little stunned.
He has heard of promoting agriculture, but he doesn’t remember talking about promoting agriculture.
Bai Minghe did not pay attention to the reaction of Daizong Zhu Qiyu, but just continued to talk.
"The queen is the mother of the country. She picks some mulberry leaves and scatters on the silkworm plate. She also gives some filial daughters some opportunities, and of course this opportunity can also be given to some noble ladies."
Cheng Jing smiled slightly, and he could hear this and felt a little utilitarian.
But it is also a good suggestion. Sometimes women can do big things, such as some lords can communicate with those noble ladies through the queen, which is also a means of winning over.
The white-famous crane only puts one point.
Cheng Jing added enough details, such as how to wear clothes, what standards are the people you choose, what wood you need for the plow, how big the field should be chosen, how many round trips the emperor should go, etc.
In the end, Cheng Jing wrote all the legacy books, and only the Baiminghe signed them.
"You are the one who knows that you are not talking about this matter, you can hand over this to the cabinet and report it at the court meeting in a formal manner." Cheng Jing handed over the memorial to Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe asked very quietly: "Sheng Director, do I need to copy this again?"
Cheng Jing shook his head with a smile.
Bai Minghe understood, took the memorial with both hands and left the study room after Zhu Qiyu agreed.
The cabinet members must know Cheng Jing's word, which is clearly necessary. The memorial written by Cheng Jing represents the meaning of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If anyone in the cabinet cannot even understand this, this official will be in vain.
Bai Minghe left the study and went to the cabinet office.
Zhu Qiyu said to Cheng Jing: "This white-famous crane is a talent."
"I'm afraid that after the meeting in the Great Palace, many people will call him a charming minister." Cheng Jing answered truthfully.
"Is that white-famous crane a charming minister?" Zhu Qiyu also asked back.
Cheng Jing shook his head: "If you go back, some people will only look at the surface. They just know that this is the use of Bai Minghe to flatter Long Live. But they don't know that the emperor can win the hearts of the people but make the world more stable. Therefore, villains are just jealous. The real charming ministers are those who like the world but ignore the world!"
"I will be able to read for you, and I will be able to get you an arm!"
"I don't dare. I only know how to serve you with all my heart and do my duty. A capable minister with a white-famous crane!"
Facing Cheng Jing's humility, Zhu Qiyu did not comment anymore, but just signaled that he could go down and rest, but he was looking forward to the faces of all officials tomorrow.
During the grand dynasty meeting, Bai Minghe did not even enter the palace gate, and he had already left the memorial in the cabinet yesterday.
After Chen Xun handed over the memorial, he made a little eunuch read it out on the excuse that he had felt uncomfortable in his throat these days. When the little eunuch was about it, Chen Xun's eyes kept sweeping over several important officials in the court.
Suddenly, an official from the Ministry of Rites jumped out.
"Long live, Bai Minghe is a charming villain. Long live, don't follow this person's advice?"
"Sui Chen?" Gao Gu walked out slowly and bowed to Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu: "Long live, I don't understand. Bai Minghe suggested three suggestions: Building a sacrificial hall for Emperor Shennong. This is a request to bless the land income. Long live farming himself, selecting the son of virtue and hope, and filial piety. This is the merit of educating the world, so how can you say that you are charming the emperor?"
Chapter completed!
