Chapter 438 Vision
When Chen Mo returned to Luoyang, it was already the gathering of the autumn harvest. It is normal to travel far away for a year and a half these days, especially when Chen Mo has a female dependent, there are many people, and he is not in a hurry.
Under the circumstances, at least two or three hours every day are spent in the process of setting up camp and setting up camp. After all, he is the only king with a different surname in the world, and he usually has to pay attention to pomp. In addition, Chen Mo is very concerned about his own safety.
We take it very seriously, not to mention that this time the whole family is involved.
However, the situation with assassins everywhere like last time did not happen this time. After all, Cao Cao has been destroyed. Almost all the famous families in the Central Plains have either chosen to join Chen Mo or have chosen silence. The rest are basically nowhere to be found. Hatred
Those who have traveled far away from Jiangdong, or have died on the way to assassination, even those who have this idea, Chen Mo's accompanying escort can scare them away.
After returning to Luoyang, life returned to normal. Chen Mo divided his time into three parts. Three hours were used to deal with government affairs and military affairs. Unless there was something urgent, Chen Mo would not easily break his daily plan. Jia
These people also know Chen Mo's work and rest time, so they try their best to put the things that need Chen Mo to deal with during this time, which is probably one morning plus noon.
In the afternoon, Chen Mo will allocate an hour to work hard, and the rest of the time will be spent with his family and teaching his children.
Chen Mo doesn't need to worry about things at home. As the eldest wife of the family, Cai Yan is also the real mistress. After following Chen Mo for so many years, Cai Yan can handle all the big and small things at home in an orderly manner.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is naturally not small, and the furnishings are also very particular. Chen Mo will not pursue pleasure excessively, but when he has the conditions, he will not pretend to let himself suffer. In fact, being honest is worthy of praise, but that
It is a matter of moral character and has nothing to do with government ability. On this point, the court and the people see things differently.
Most people would think that as long as you are honest, you are a good official, but from Chen Mo's point of view, as long as you don't go too far, it doesn't matter if you are a little greedy. As long as you can implement the court's decrees well and make the people live well, then you are considered a good official.
, As for personal conduct, it is bound by the circle planned by the court's laws. If you want to get out of the circle, you will naturally be punished. Therefore, under Chen Mo's rule, it is not difficult to find that many officials with good political achievements can always find things to criticize in terms of their morals.
place.
But if you really want to use these things to cause trouble for these officials, you will find that it does not constitute a crime. The most you can get is a fine or a demotion. It is basically impossible to beat someone to death with one shot.
The Prime Minister's Mansion also has its own rules. Chen Mo now has five wives and concubines. As a eldest wife and a wife, Cai Yan's status in the Prime Minister's Mansion is unquestionable, especially since Chen's mother is old now and basically doesn't care about anything. She walks her dog every day.
, there is nothing else to do than hug the grandson or get together with familiar old women to chat about family affairs. Therefore, Cai Yan has a very high prestige in the prime minister's house, but most of the time, Cai Yan will not use it.
The rights of one’s own wife.
The relationship between wives and concubines is relatively harmonious. After being with Chen Mo for so many years, Cai Yan still understands the art of management. Power at home is more of a deterrent. It can be seen but easily used. She
She knows what kind of atmosphere her husband likes, so she deliberately creates such an atmosphere at home. The literary and artistic atmosphere from her early years is still there, but she has a calm and powerful temperament.
Strictly speaking, Zhen Mi, Yun Si, Juan'er, and Diao Chan are all concubines, but there are differences between concubines. Among the four women, in terms of background, Zhen Mi is naturally the best, and because of her age,
Because of this, she can be regarded as a favored one, but since Chen Mo killed eight direct descendants of the Zhen family because of the Zhen family's transgression the year before last, Zhen Mi has become more cautious in doing things. Although she would not make trouble unreasonably in the past, Chen Mo waited
She was also very good, but after that incident, Zhen Mi understood that she was herself, the Zhen family was the Zhen family, and her husband did not like her mother-in-law's family to do too many extraordinary things through her identity.
Yun Si and Juan'er were the first women to be with Chen Mo. Although they were concubines, they also had their own authority in the family. Yun Si was in charge of the money and assisted Cai Yan in managing the household, while Juan'er was in charge of the maids and servants in the mansion.
Can be regarded as Cai Yan's confidant.
As for Diao Chan, Chen Mo is also obsessed with her beautiful temperament. If we break it down over the years, she is the one who spends the most nights with Chen Mo. She has always wanted to have a child these years, but for some reason, she has never been able to get pregnant. Even though Chen Mo is here
She has the most hard work, but she still has nothing to show for it, which makes her quite melancholy. Especially as she grows older, the possibility of having children becomes lower, which also makes her quite anxious.
However, Chen Mo is not too concerned about this. Now that he has three sons and one daughter, Chen Mo is not too concerned about producing more offspring. However, Chen Mo is more concerned about Diao Chan's emotions. For him, children are important, but
Women like you are equally important.
Not only Chen Mo, Cai Yan was also concerned about Diao Chan, and even invited her to diagnose and treat her. However, the results were a bit frustrating. When Diao Chan was at Wang Yun's place before, it seemed that Diao Chan had taken some medicine, which damaged her reproductive function!
After learning about this incident, Diao Chan almost collapsed. Fortunately, Chen Mo, Cai Yan and others accompanied her every day, and she gradually came out of the sadness. For women, it is natural that they cannot give birth to their own children.
It is a pity, but because of this, Diao Chan is the one who is taken care of by everyone in the house. Since she has no possibility of having children, she transfers this motherly love to other children, treating other children as if they are her own.
Out of oneself.
In order to prevent Diao Chan from being sad, Cai Yan took the initiative to let her live with him, and also accompanied Chen Mo...
Of course, the reason why the family can get along so harmoniously, in addition to Cai Yan himself, is also because Chen Mo can hold a bowl of water evenly most of the time, take into account everyone's mood, and have a lot of time to accompany him. This is also why Chen Mo can
The reason why he hasn't looked for women since Zhen Mi is because five of them are already too much for him to take care of. If there are a few more, he is worried that his backyard will turn into a Shura field.
Moreover, all the women in the family are good-looking, Cai Yan is well-educated and sensible, Zhen Mi is beautiful and smart, Yun Si had a rough early life and was cold to outsiders, but in front of Chen Mo, she is as gentle as water, Juan'er has been with Chen Mo the longest, Xiaojia Biyu, Diao Chan is beautiful, and Da
Most of the characteristics of beautiful women have been gathered here, so Chen Mo rarely thinks about women outside now.
In the fifteenth year of the Han Dynasty, for Chen Mo, it was no surprise that it was another good year. As long as the Central Plains was stabilized, the annual grain output would be almost more than that of Guanzhong and Hebei combined. The most important thing is that this is still far away.
Not to the limit, there is still a lot of potential in the Central Plains that has not been tapped. In the past two years, Luoyang's government affairs have mainly focused on Guanzhong, including the division of clans, the reform of official administration, the establishment of academies, and various water conservancy projects.
The feedback brought by so many things also makes Chen Mo very satisfied. If he continues like this, he will become richer and richer until he reaches the balance that Chen Mo expected.
However, if the balance in Chen Mo's budget is really reached and new sources of resources have not been developed, I am afraid that after the peak, there will be another turmoil and decline. This is something Chen Mo does not want to see, but it is bound to happen.
What happened, although that day will not be very close to now. With the current development speed, it will not arrive in a hundred years, but the feeling of powerlessness that can foresee that day coming but cannot stop it makes Chen Mo very sad.
.
The only way he can think of now is to increase grain production as much as possible, reclaim land, and get help from Zeng Guang resources. He has also discussed this issue with top wise men such as Xun You, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Xu Shu, but even if he gathered all the people under Chen Mo,
Top talents have not been able to come up with a good solution. This cycle of heaven seems to be a general trend.
Without considering any restrictions, what everyone can think of is to acquire a wider land. But in this case, with the current speed of message transmission, the farther away the place is, the harder it is to control, and it is still possible to collapse in the end.
.
Jia Xu put forward a theory that through commerce and cultural dissemination, envoys can be sent to currently known countries, including Shendu, Daqin, Kangju, Wusun and other major foreign countries. Firstly, they can promote Chinese culture, and secondly, they can
Attracting high-end talents from these countries to work in the Central Plains can also encourage people to do business with other countries. After establishing diplomatic relations with these countries, they can start trade and bring more resources to support the world.
The porcelain and silk of the Han Dynasty are treasures to these countries outside the region. They can use this to plunder more wealth from various countries and use the resources to enrich the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people in the Central Plains.
Jia Xu's idea is undoubtedly the most suitable. Although it is far from reaching the point where the population is so large that it will paralyze the country, we must start to consider this aspect and make arrangements early. But even so, Chen Mo feels that this is
It's just delaying the arrival of that day.
But for now, the strategy Jia Xu mentioned is the best way he can think of. Set a tone first, and then start making arrangements when the world is really at peace.
In fact, Chen Mo's idea was a bit advanced, but he realized it based on the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. Whenever the population reaches a certain level, various problems will arise to reduce the population. In the past, the biggest way to reduce the population was war, but
