Chapter 191 Huangzhuang
Douhua'er successfully entered Zhongcui Palace and became a little maid in Zhongcui Palace. Of course, this little maid would not attract Zhu Cixuan's excessive attention.
However, because she was the Queen's imperial edict, the people of Zhongcui Palace, like Sanxi, became Douhuaer's dog licking dogs.
A mouthful of bean flower girl, the bean flower girl's flattery is melodious, and it is a saddle for the bean flower to be in front of the horse and behind the horse.
Douhuaer is a person who has experienced separation from life and death and is in a cold world. At her age in her teens, she has rich experiences that are not the same as hers. When Douhuaer comes, she rectifies Zhong Cuigong in an orderly manner.
Before, Zhong Cuigong was lazy and lazy, while Zhu Cilang was a nervous person. He turned a blind eye to the palace people around him. For example, Sanxi's guys, whether they cleaned the house or cleaned the courtyard, they would be fooled if they could.
The entire Forbidden City was cleaned spotlessly, but the fallen leaves of Zhongcui Palace were everywhere, and the palace was a little messy. Zhu Cixuan seemed to be accustomed to all this, so just be lazy. Anyway, there are few outsiders coming to Zhongcui Palace on weekdays.
After a day in the North Town Fushi, Zhu Cilang, who returned to Zhongcui Palace, was a little tired. Suddenly, he had the illusion of entering the wrong door. Even Zhu Cilang had to take a few steps back and re-examine the appearance of Zhongcui Palace.
Even the eunuch Sun Wangcai, who was beside Zhu Cilang, couldn't help but scratch his head: "Your Highness, it seems that something is wrong. Why is our palace so clean?"
Zhu Cilang also felt the same way. Zhong Cui’s palace was completely refreshed inside and outside. The entire courtyard was cleaned and there was no fallen leaves. The floor tiles were washed with clean water and then carefully cleaned. The doors and windows in the palace were even more spotless.
Zhu Cilang's feet on the ground feel like he will dirty the floor tiles.
This cleanliness similar to the cleanliness of obsession made Zhu Cilang feel uncomfortable all over. He is a carefree person: "Paren Sun, who did this?"
Wangcai didn't know where he knew. He shook his head in confusion: "I don't know if the prince's words are said to you."
The back garden of Cining Palace no longer belongs to Zhu Cilang. Emperor Chongzhen was as if he had gained a treasure and protected all the crops in the back garden of Cining Palace. These are all the hopes of the future of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the court will be in charge of the planting and maintenance of crops in the back garden of the Forbidden City.
At the same time, the Huangzhuang land outside the suburbs of Beijing will be decided to plant all these crops next year. If nothing unexpected happens, the Huangzhuang land can produce high yields, which will make these crops popular among the imperial court.
It takes less than three to five years, even if the imperial court does not need to fight, I am afraid that the bandits will collapse without fighting. After all, with food, who can still be a refugee who is in danger of peace?
Imperial village, a farmland directly managed by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. One theory began in the Yongle period, and the other theory began in the eighth year of Tianshun. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, seven places in the imperial village were added in one month after he ascended the throne, and then more than thirty places.
In addition to the emperor's farmland, there were also the empress dowager and the crown prince's farmland. The emperor's farmland was a land of "self-management" managed by the eunuchs appointed by the emperor. The income of the imperial sect or the silver of the imperial sect are directly managed by the eunuchs in Guanzhuang and controlled by the palace. The empress dowager's farmland, also known as the palace, is mostly called the three palace sects of the Ming Dynasty historical records. The silver collected every year is called the three palace sects of the land. The amount of land occupied is also quite large.
The land of the crown prince's village was the land of the East Palace. In the third year of Tianshun, Emperor Yingzong gave Tangshan Villa in Changping County, Baita Village in Sanhe County, and the No. 4 Factory No. 4 outside Chaoyangmen to the East Palace. During the period of Emperor Xianzong, he also gave the land of the crown prince's village in the East Palace, and planned to be five villages.
In other words, Zhu Cilang actually had his own imperial farm, but he was not good at managing and had never been to it. The income and expenditure of the imperial farm belonged to Empress Zhou every year, and Zhu Cilang was young and had no right to interfere.
In the second year of Hongzhi, there were five imperial villages in the capital, with a total area of more than 12,800 hectares. The imperial village was established in the ninth year of Zhengde, covering an area of more than 37,500 hectares. Most of the management personnel within the imperial village were directly appointed by the palace to manage the eunuchs in the management village, and dozens of people including official schools, sects, family members, etc.
After Jiajing, after the Ming Dynasty, after Xia Yan investigated the imperial village, he changed some imperial villages to official lands. At the same time, he also withdrew the imperial villages' management personnel from the management industry. The Ministry of Revenue sent prefectures and county officials to replace them, that is, "there are officials to manage them." However, in fact, the eunuchs' method of collecting imperial villages or imperial villages and silver was maintained until the end of the Ming Dynasty and there was no change.
Emperor Chongzhen decided to replace all the imperial villages in the capital with new crop seeds introduced by Zhu Cilang next year. As for whether it can be popularized in the north, it depends on the harvest of the imperial village next year.
After all, the few acres of land in Cining Palace are just experimental fields. Whether these crops can be planted and popularized in the north can only be found in experiments.
Zhu Cilang and Sun Wangcai, who had just returned to Zhongcui Palace, looked around and looked closely as if they were not going to their home.
At this moment, the palace gate creaked open, and Sanxi brought several palace servants from Zhongcui Palace to salute Zhu Cilang: "I welcome the prince."
Zhu Cilang looked around, carrying his hands on his back: "Okay, three joys, don't look at him with admiration in one day. I just left in the morning, and when I came back, you cleaned the place so clean. Good, keep it."
At this time, Sanxi was usually quite inflated, but he knew that the credit did not belong to him, and he did not dare to take the credit. Because the little girl Douhuaer was the one assigned by the Queen.
Douhua'er is just a little palace maid, nothing special. But the backstage is amazing, that's the Empress. Originally, the Empress had quite a complaint about the palace people in the East Palace, saying that these dogs and slaves did not serve the prince well.
Now that Douhua'er is here, the credit should be hers. This Sanxi is still a little self-aware.
So Sanxi walked up like a dog and smiled happily: "Your Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood, what kind of thing is I? How could I have such ability? It was Miss Douhua'er. Miss Douhua'er led me to clean Zhongcui's palace inside and outside for a whole day."
Zhu Cilang frowned, and then he realized that there was a timid little palace maid in the crowd who was not from Zhong Cuigong: "You are, you are from Qianqing Palace."
Zhu Cilang had an amazing memory. He remembered this little palace maid. Although she kept her head down, her weak figure and her unique temperament made Zhu Cilang remember her.
"I, Douhua'er, pay homage to the Crown Prince. Your Highness, I will follow the imperial edict of the Empress to serve your highness in the future. Please do not dislike me for being clumsy."
Zhu Cilang laughed: "You are also called clumsy. You are much better than the people in my hands. OK, get up. You don't have to be nervous, I am easy to serve."
