Chapter 342 The little prince is so milky
Luo Ning did not give in after being resisted. After the court went through a big purge, the ministers were hesitant about Prime Minister Liu's lesson, and they haven't wantonly recruited factions. The power is concentrated in Luo Ning's hands. Luo Ning is determined to carry out some reforms , then no one can stop him, if he is really dissatisfied, then resign and retire.
In the final analysis, these countermeasures are to break the interests of certain classes, but Luo Ning really wants the people of this country to live better, so he must offend those groups.
Seeing that he has a modest temper, he is still very bluffing when he is tough. He explained the advantages and disadvantages of it clearly, and expressed his determination. The officials who are always nagging and nagging finally stopped, and at the same time they felt a headache. I thought it was support. A gentle emperor ascended the throne, but he turned out to be so hard-headed, and he was not threatened by them at all.
In the end, they were just courtiers, and how could they really interfere with the emperor's decision, so they could only agree and looked at Luo Ning's willfulness with helpless eyes. His Majesty was still too young, and soon realized that those methods were a waste of time. At that time, the naivety will be able to get rid of.
The difference from Xungui's attitude is that the common people are going crazy with joy. They don't ask for much, they just want to live a better life. The heavy taxes over the years can crush people to death.
But they heard the key words, they can reduce the two-tier tax, and there are many tools and fertilizer seeds to help increase food production, including some scientific methods of raising pigs and raising chickens.
I can’t understand some languages, but I can feel that it is a good thing for the country and the people. If they pay less taxes, they can barely eat enough. Maybe at the end of the year, they can still eat two catties of pork.
According to the description in the notice, as long as the pig feed is made according to the instructions, the little white pig will grow fat and strong. According to the method of raising fish in the rice field, not only can more rice be harvested, but also several hundred catties of pigs can be harvested. fish.
Everyone's hearts are surging when they look at it. Meat is the most greedy thing in life. How can ordinary people afford meat? They are so happy that they can eat all they want.
It is said that this is the method that His Majesty has tried successfully. The king of a country promises everything he says, and the edicts issued will not be false. They can't wait to get the food seeds.
According to the scientific method of planting, even if the strength of the whole family is gathered, the piglets must be raised with their heads in their arms.
The common people don't care who is the emperor, and they will support whoever feeds them. Now the emperor looks pretty good, at least he thinks about the people like them in every frame.
And the merchants are also very excited. The status of merchants in agriculture, industry and commerce ranks at the bottom. If it is not for a better life, who would be willing to be a merchant.
Even if they are successful in business and have accumulated a lot of wealth, everyone still looks down on them, saying that businessmen are cheap, and their taxes are several times higher than that of ordinary people. If their descendants want to take the imperial examination, they will be discriminated against by their husbands , Marriage is at a disadvantage.
Once they are registered as merchants, their fate will be difficult to change. Various factors prevent them from climbing the ranks.
It is understandable to treat profiteers so differently, but those who do business in peace don't understand why they should be despised for the money they earn by virtue of their skills. Is there anyone who doesn't love money? Said they stink of copper.
Usually, only by donating food and materials can we raise some low positions.
It is better now, there is no restriction on the development of businessmen, as long as they act within the scope of the rules, they can go to business to make money, and the terms of the offspring scientific examination have also been relaxed, it seems that it has never been so fun.
The policy reforms were implemented bit by bit, and there was no effect at the beginning, but slowly, the entire Rong Dynasty seemed to be revitalized.
Luoming encourages the development of skilled craftsmen, and the distribution of new agricultural tools improves the efficiency of crop cultivation. With the addition of improved new grain seeds, the shoots grow densely and the green color is vibrant. You can imagine how gratifying the results will be when they are truly mature. .
Then I tentatively stocked some fish and shrimps in the rice fields, thinking that the roots of the rice would be eaten, but as a result, the rice seedlings were safe and the small fishes grew up day by day.
In order to live comfortably, the people have never been afraid of hard work. It is not enough just to forget about chickens and ducks. They plant some fruit saplings on the wasteland, add fertilizer, and have special insect repellent medicines. They are not afraid of the fruits being eaten by insects. , will surely bear fruit.
As for those drier soils, it is of course impossible to grow rice, but it is very good to grow cotton and wheat. Before that, the yield of cotton was poor, and there was not enough food, so I had no intention of farming at all, so I was afraid of accidentally losing money.
But now they know that the temperature of the soil is also required for the growth of cotton, and the excess cotton tips must be pinched off to avoid being robbed of nutrients. With such diligent work, everyone is looking forward to waiting for the grain to mature soon.
In the thick of anticipation, the top of the green shoots was finally decorated with strings of tassels. In the clear water, there were leaves of rice seedlings floating, and big fish swam in them. The rice and wheat were heavy, and the fish were ecstatic. Sold and harvested the grain.
Not only did they make money, but they found that the harvest was twice that of previous years. Even if they paid taxes, they would still be able to eat.
And when half a year passed, I was happy to see that the pigs in the pigsty had become fatter, and more than ten chickens and ducks had been added, and eggs were beginning to be eaten.
Gradually, I have hope for life. As for the people in the remote mountains, there are also merchants who come to buy mountain products or fungus, and the fruits they plant can also be sold, so life is much easier and faster.
After printing was used in the dynasty, those precious books were rubbed out one by one, and libraries were established in various state capitals one by one, which provided a door for the vast number of poor students. , because the resources are not as good as those of the children of the noble family.
Now that there is a library, they can borrow more rare books, and finally have a channel for self-improvement. Coupled with tenacity and hard work, the officials selected from poor families are greatly improved.
Luo Ning knows that corrupt officials are most likely to appear in the court and the local government, and they are harmful moths. In order to be honest and honest, his reformed Criminal Department focuses on investigating and punishing corrupt officials. Spend.
In the blink of an eye for two years, earth-shaking changes took place inside the court. The courtiers failed to stop Luo Ning at the very beginning, and they became more and more unable to stop Luo Ning from making any decisions later on.
But the effect is also obvious. The common people live and work in peace and contentment, the treasury continues to grow, the country is rich and its soldiers are strong, and it is much more prosperous than before.
But most of these changes are beneficial to those ordinary people. Of course, the nobles are not satisfied, especially the selection of the imperial examination, which took away a large piece of cake from them. They don’t care how the ordinary people are doing. After the interests are divided Only then did I feel out of breath.
But they couldn't express their dissatisfaction blatantly, after all, the emperor didn't listen to their threats at all.
Luo Ning spent the New Year alone for two years, and usually communicated with Pei Ling by letter. With Pei Ling's efforts, he conquered several places, allowing the territory of Rong Dynasty to continue to expand, and Pei Ling himself.
Also because of these achievements, his status gradually climbed up, and finally gained a foothold in the army, and was named the Great General of the National Defense.
Luo Ning looked at the letter paper in his hand, guessing that Pei Ling should be back soon, anticipation appeared in his eyes.
However, Luo Ning has been on the throne for two years, and the harem is still empty, which makes the ministers dissatisfied, and they are concerned about this kind of thing, without an heir, how will the country of the Rong dynasty be inherited.
At first, I thought that the little emperor was young and the situation was not stable. It might be because he didn't have a concubine in the draft because he had no intentions, but now he is about to turn eighteen, and there is no more concubine. Isn't that abnormal?
The Rong Dynasty is now safe and sound, and the emperor has nothing to worry about, so he didn't fill the harem.
This is absolutely impossible, the ministers still hope that the daughter of the family can become the imperial concubine and lead the whole family to prosperity. If they can give birth to a prince, they don't have to worry about being rich and prosperous.
So, they began to urge, and the memorials submitted all mentioned such things, and after Luo Ning refused, no one gave up.
One day after the imperial court, his uncle came and said that his little cousin was old enough, with a beautiful appearance, that her fat should not flow into the fields of outsiders, and that she was the most suitable position to be a queen. Empress and concubine are fine too.
Luo Ning refused with a funny face, the cousin hadn't met a few times, she was still a little girl, it was totally impossible.
Then, his cousin came again, repeating the same rhetoric.From the other party's point of view, they are Luo Ning's mother clan. In order to strengthen the influence of their relatives, they should choose women from their clan to enter the palace.
Luo Ning really doesn't give face, he has someone he likes, not to mention that what he wants is a couple for life, he has no interest in being a philanderer and doing harm to others.
But the aggressiveness of those relatives really made him impatient, so he had to find more things for them to do so as not to panic.
Under Luo Ning's strong suppression, those memorials subsided a bit.
And Pei Ling, who was far away at the border, also got the news. He had long realized that after His Majesty grew older, marrying a concubine and having children was an inevitable process, but he had a selfish personality, so he was not willing to let His Majesty to others.
He has always known the news about the capital, and he is afraid that someone will snatch His Majesty away when he is not around.
Now that someone finally mentioned this matter, Pei Ling's heart arose, his eyes darkened, and he rubbed the letter paper into pieces. He didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, but as long as he was around, His Majesty would not be allowed to follow him. others together.
But he is not in the capital, what if His Majesty becomes enlightened and cannot withstand the pressure from the court?
