Chapter 101: Tour
The atmosphere of the Chugong Hall is solemn.
After tens of breaths of silence, Xiao Jingye looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to attack the literati and officials?"
Zhao Yan shook his head slightly and said, "Not only do I not hate the scholars and officials, but I also think that the scholars and officials are the foundation of our dynasty. However, this foundation is too large and has caused various chronic diseases. What I want to do is to treat the scholars and officials class."
"Understanding the surrounding countries with force is not a manifestation of the prosperity of our Great Zhou, but our goal is to let the surrounding countries see that our Great Zhou is strong and willing to submit to our Great Zhou. If the Great Zhou is strong to the extreme, the scholar-official class must make changes!"
Hearing Zhao Yan's thoughts, the four ministers fell into deep thought again.
They knew the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty better than anyone else, and they knew the shortcomings of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it would affect the whole body without knowing what the consequences of the reform would be.
After a while, Shangguan, who had always been stubborn and persevered, took the lead and said, "I agree with Your Majesty leaving Changdan City, inspecting the people's conditions, and preparing for the reform."
Shangguan was unhappy with a sharp look. He saw Zhao Yan's mind and ideals, and also saw the space he could use in the future.
This young Your Majesty not only wants to become a great king who can compete with Yao and Shun, but to do something that no king has done before.
This unusual way of governing the country may lead the Great Zhou to an unprecedented path of prosperity and strength.
Xiao Jingye, Pan Wenyue and Liu Chao looked at each other, then nodded.
These three people know Zhao Yan's ideas best.
When Zhao Yan was ascending the throne, he proposed to reorganize all aspects of the Great Zhou, and the officials and scholars were the first to rectify.
Now, there is no war outside and no hunger inside, which is the best time for reform.
They also want to see how strong and wealthy the ideal Dazhou can be.
"I agree with Your Majesty's departure from the capital!" the three of them bowed their hands at the same time.
Suddenly, Zhao Yan let out a long sigh in his heart.
It is really difficult to fool these four people, and it is really difficult to leave the palace for a honeymoon!
Of course, Zhao Yan's words were not completely fabricated. He had indeed had the idea of reform, but it was not yet systematic.
During this private visit, Zhao Yan was for honeymoon on the one hand, and for inspection of the people and preparations for reforms.
Xiao Jingye thought about it and said, "Your Majesty can leave Changdan, but the longest time should not exceed one month, otherwise the court will still be a little unstable, and I will not be at ease!"
Zhao Yan nodded.
As the emperor, he had to go out to play for two or three months, and later history books would definitely regard him as a special book of the foolish emperor.
That evening, Zhao Yan recruited Liu Dazhong into the palace again.
"Da Zhong, how is your business developing in Shuzhou?" Zhao Yan asked.
Liu Dazhong didn't know why Zhao Yan asked, and immediately said, "When you go back to your Majesty, my business is basically south of the Yangtze River, and Shuzhou is close to the north of the Yangtze River. I have a book shop there, and it is still operating well, but other industries have not yet been launched."
Zhao Yan nodded slightly and then asked: "How long does it take to get from Changdan to Shuzhou? Is it much closer to the waterway?"
Liu Dazhong thought for a moment and replied: "If you take the water route, start from Caohe, change to the Yangtze River, and finally arrive in Shuzhou, it should be the closest, less than 500 miles of water route, and it only takes seven or eight days for a large sailing ship."
"I am going to leave Beijing for a month and my destination is Shuzhou. This private visit is only a few guards. All itineraries are arranged by you. How about it?"
The reason why Zhao Yan chose Shuzhou was, on the one hand, because the distance was moderate, so he could stay in Shuzhou for at least half a month. In addition, Shuzhou has a lot of delicious food, and because it is surrounded by mountains, rich and closed, it is the place where Zhao Yan wants to inspect the most.
"No problem!" Liu Dazhong said confidently. This middle-aged man, who is known as the God of Wealth among the people, is a character who is rampant in most of the south.
No matter what Zhao Yan wants to play, he can arrange it properly.
Immediately, Zhao Yan made a decision and set out from Caohe Wharf outside Changdan City tomorrow afternoon.
At night, the palace in Ganqing.
Zhao Yan sat in front of the jade desk, holding a wolf hero in his hand, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he put down his pen helplessly.
According to the Great Zhou etiquette, when Zhao Yan married Lu Nianwei, he adopted the treatment of a concubine. Within three days, he had to enthrone Lu Nianwei and get a concubine title for him.
"Lu Nianwei, Beimeng's name is Nabuya, why is it called Yafei? No, it doesn't work, it sounds like a mute concubine!"
Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, he whispered a big talk to Lu Nianwei and must marry a particularly nice title for him, otherwise he would not go to bed.
However, he still overestimated his strength level. After thinking for a long time, he could not come up with something that satisfies him.
"How about you name Concubine Jing? No, let her hear it, and she thought she was mocking her!" Zhao Yan shook his head again, but Lu Nianwei was not quiet at all.
Concubine Hui? Concubine Wan? Concubine Li? Concubine Rong?
Zhao Yan thought for a long time and still felt dissatisfied.
In the end, he still felt that he should be a copycat and give an ordinary name, but he gave it a surprising statement.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yan wrote two big words on the imperial edict: Concubine Yun.
And after the big characters, another seven-character quatrain was written:
"The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of appearance, and the autumn wind blows the threshold and the dew is thick. If it weren't for the group of jade hills, they would meet under the moon on the jade platform."
It was Li Taibai, the number one young and dandy person in the Tang Dynasty, who praised Yang Guifei.
In order to meet the situation, Zhao Yan changed the spring breeze to the autumn breeze.
In this world, there is a great poet Li Taibai, but without this poem, Zhao Yan had to use it with shamelessness.
Zhao Yan walked up to Lu Nianwei with great pride, took out the rice paper, handed it to her and said, "Look at it yourself!"
"Concubine Yun? What does this poem mean?" Lu Nianwei said with a slightly red face.
Zhao Yan turned his hands back and explained: "The clouds want to be your clothes, the flowers want to decorate your face, the autumn wind blows slightly, and the dew becomes stronger. If you want to meet a beautiful woman like you, you may only be in the sky!"
"Hahahaha..." Lu Nianwei let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell, then threw a charming look at Zhao Yan, and said sweetly: "Your Majesty, Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold in one moment!"
...
The next day, the two of them got up until midnight, but no one dared to gossip.
After all, the emperor Zhao Yan did a good job.
And all the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are looking forward to Lu Nianwei giving birth to a little prince as soon as possible!
In the afternoon, Zhao Yan and Lu Nianwei appeared outside Changdan City.
During this tour, Zhao Yan brought only Heiwa, while Lu Nianwei only brought a personal maid Lian'er.
However, in secret, Shen Tuyi appointed hundreds of extremely powerful guards to secretly defend Zhao Yan and others.
Zhao Yan also told that unless there is a great danger, none of these people will be allowed to show up.
When Zhao Yan came to Caohe Wharf and saw Liu Dazhong with a smile on his face and the giant ship behind him, he couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
