"Imperial brother is strict in running the army. This is a good thing. The generals of the town and the rear generals, you are all doing well. Today I finally saw this new army. What the emperor said is true. Only a strong army can strengthen the country. Come on. , it is my fault to deal with it according to the military law."
Fu Jian showed a generous attitude, but now the people in the tent dared not move.
The appearance of an emperor is the emperor, whoever dares to beat the emperor is disrespectful to the heaven, no matter how strict the law is, everyone can be punished, but the emperor must be the only one.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a saying that a doctor could not be punished.
But Xuancheng said loudly, "What are you still doing in a daze, drag it down and hit it."
"Uncle."
"Mr. Yangping, let's forget it in the end, my lord..." Zhang Hao took a step back. After all, as a subject, he never had the reason to offend the king with his subjects.
Deng Qiang didn't say a word at the moment, but his gaze was like a torch, revealing his majesty.
In fact, it is very difficult for soldiers and kings to get along with each other since they came. As a gift for the emperor and his ministers, soldiers must obey the emperor, but there are very few emperors who understand military law. At that time, the people the emperor relied on were often soldiers. After the world was pacified, the army was managed by the generals. In some armies with strict military management, the soldiers only knew the generals but not the emperor in their eyes.
However, it has been so many years since the founding of the former Qin Dynasty, especially in Fu Jian's generation, all systems have been improved. Fu Jian won the world on horseback and governed the world with Confucianism. He continued the rule of Emperor Qin and Han Wu everywhere, so he is proficient in the army and the way of governing the country. He should understand the importance of military law.
Yao Chang and others also knelt down and begged.
"Since this is the case, then Fu Jian's fault should be borne by his descendants. Come, someone will drag Fu Hui out and punish the fifty soldiers with sticks."
After hearing the order, the soldiers outside the tent immediately entered the tent and helped Fu Hui up from the ground.
Fu Hui gave a heavy military salute, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."
Fu Jian looked at his back after being invited out by the soldiers, and sighed.
Xuancheng's resentful gaze shot over, with thorns in his eyes, Fu Jian's heart twitched, especially when there was the sound of reprimands outside.
"Hey, how did I do this?" Fu Jian complained to himself.
"Brother Huang, please don't act recklessly before doing anything, and think about the consequences first." Xuancheng clapped his hands and asked, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Fu Jian stroked his forehead, he understood that this person was clearly acting for his own benefit, and he used the strict military law to punish himself for his disrespect just now in a disguised form.
"You, you." Fu Jian pointed at him, his arms trembling.
Xuan Cheng rolled his eyes at him, "It deserves it."
In fact, is there any need for military law to deal with it? The two brothers were flirting and messing around, and involving others to make a scapegoat.
The most pitiful thing is this weak and weak Fu Hui, misfortune has come from heaven! ! !
Afterwards, Fu Jian went to Yangping Duke's Mansion to pay a special visit to Fu Hui.
Fu Jian said, "I originally wanted to see you that day, but your imperial uncle designed me to be a farce."
Fu Hui's body was in pain, and the Fifty Army Stick beat him, who looked like a scholar, severely, but if it was an ordinary person, he would be disabled after being hit by the Fifty Army Stick. I have some preferences, even though my mouth is reluctant.
"Father, how could Uncle Huang design you, I think Uncle Huang is dedicated to you."
Fu Hui had a serious demeanor.
Fu Jian tapped his forehead, and sighed with a smile on his face, "If you say you are bored, you are really bored."
Fu Hui doesn't understand love, so he can't see clearly between Fu Jian and Xuancheng.
Xuancheng came in from the outside at this time, saw their scene, and said, "Look at the good things you have done, this is what you want to see Hui'er, it's not good to see a living person, you just have to give it to me." Hui'er is dying."
Fu Jian retorted, "It's not the emperor's younger brother, you don't let go, even your own family."
"Brother Huang, I won't hit Hui'er, but you."
Fu Jian laughed loudly, "My brother is being duplicity again, if you are willing to beat me, the world will stop."
Xuancheng didn't want to talk to him, and said to Fu Hui, "Don't go to the military camp these few days, I told Deng Qiang, we will go when you are better, and I invited Zhu Tong to come over and teach you about Confucianism."
"Ah, Zhu Tong, Uncle Huang, I've heard of him." Fu Hui looked excited.
"Don't worry, he will come tomorrow, I have invited him several times."
Fu Jian said, "Imperial brother, you really want to visit everyone because of Hui'er. Deng Qiang is good enough, and you even invited Zhu Tong to teach Confucianism to Hui'er. In my opinion, how about it? Let Zhu Tong give lectures to these boys in Taixue, and don't make a fuss for Hui'er, you are not afraid that the prince and the others will really have opinions."
Xuancheng thought for a while, "Brother Huang is right, so let's do it like this, let Zhu Tong go to the Taixue to teach tomorrow, let the prince, Julu Gong, and Hejian Gong go, but Hui'er will be later." You can go there, look, it’s not because of you that you received the fifty army sticks, which caused my nephew to stay in bed for a few days.”
"Young brother, don't mention this matter, okay, I don't have the face to talk about it anymore, and you still want to expose my scars."
So, Xuancheng obediently stopped mentioning these things.
On the second day, Zhu Tong gave lectures in Taixue, and set up a special course for princes, which mainly taught the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism. At the same time, he taught the theory of Mencius, which specially taught these princes the principles of self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace.
Fu Jian and Xuancheng personally went to the Taixue to attend the audit. Zhu Tong's knowledge of Confucianism is still very deep. In the past, he had been studying Confucianism behind Wang Meng. He was one of the first few people in the Di tribe to learn Confucianism.
Half a month later, Fu Hui followed these princes to study Confucianism in Taixue, but he had one more homework than the princes, that is, he had to go to the army every morning to practice swordsmanship and riding and shooting Gradually, his personality became much more cheerful, and he would take the initiative to talk to everyone he saw, but his smile was still as warm as a spring breeze.
Of the direct-line generals from the ten frontier counties that Xuancheng proposed to transfer back, five of them are guarding the counties around Chang'an, and five are guarding the new army camp.
The new army was about to be formed, but Fu Jian started to grasp another major event.
In the spring and May of the tenth year of Jianyuan, irrigation in Guanzhong became a difficult problem when farming.
In mid-April, there was a small earthquake in Liangdi, and the cultivation of the people in Liangdi became a problem. Fu Jian sent domestic agronomists to Liangdi to guide the people in farming. It took only one month.
It is the rainy season at this time of year, but this year the rainy season has not arrived, and the farming and irrigation of the people in Guanzhong has become a problem. Fu Jian asked the people's livelihood in the court.
A minister offered advice to send troops to build water conservancy projects.
"Water conservancy and farming should be controlled by geographers, agronomists and water conservancy experts. Can soldiers help the people sow seeds?" Fu Jian retorted.
Xuan Cheng said, "Then send domestic water conservancy experts to Guanzhong to help the people build water conservancy projects. It is a century-old plan, farming is the first, and there is no delay."
"That's the truth. It's just that there are very few people in China who understand irrigation and drainage projects. If you want to train an expert, it will take decades of work. The people in Guanzhong are suffering. I can truly understand how they can wait."
"Brother Huang, why don't you post a notice to recruit talents. There are many capable people and strangers in my country, and some of them are afraid to go out because of the situation of the court. When the Sima family went south, most of them didn't want to leave their hometowns and stayed in the north. As long as the emperor has the heart With sincerity, these people will definitely come out to help and relieve the suffering of our people."
"Young Master Yang Ping is right."
"That's why Prime Minister Wang stayed in our dynasty. There are countless talented people in the north. It is not difficult to find a few water conservancy experts."
Some people began to whisper.
Xuancheng stared coldly.
Wang Meng's achievements are not allowed to be discussed by others. The court council can speak freely, but it must not be unprincipled. Wang Meng went north to Chang'an after being abandoned by Huan Wen, and stayed in Chang'an only after being moved by Fu Jian's sincerity.
Although what Xuancheng said was true, many talented people stayed in the north because they didn't want to go south to cross the river, but now that the Fu family is in charge of the country, there are still many people who don't want to go out to serve.
Even if those people are talents, they are also corrupt scholars.
A true great Confucian would never abandon his belief in working for the welfare of the people because of his status as a person in power.
What the saints say is self-cultivation, governing the family, governing the country, and the world. A true saint must put aside all prejudices, not judge strengths by race, and not set restrictions by ethnicity. Only those who can pretend to be ordinary people can become saints.
"Okay, brother, then you can start to deal with this matter."
Since Fu Jian gave this order, Xuancheng did his part. As the prime minister, it was his duty to solve problems for the monarch.
Therefore, Xuancheng personally drafted the recruitment letter and ordered people to post it all over the city of Chang'an.
He started with the sages of Confucianism, emphasizing that the essence of Confucian sages is serving the people. As long as they are willing to serve the country, all credits will be ranked according to the principles of Confucianism. It discusses that Confucianism is divided into two classes, great Confucianism and corrupt Confucianism. Great Confucianism has the chivalrous heart of a king, great chivalry, for the country and the people, and corrupt Confucianism, narrow-minded and low-sighted, will eventually be forgotten by the world.
As a result, groups of hidden people came out to respond to the imperial edict.
But now that the initiative is in the hands of the imperial court, Xuancheng still ordered interviews one by one.
Although the hydrologists, agronomists, and geographers recruited this time are in the name of Confucianism, the people who actually understand these water conservancy projects are agronomists, Mohists, and Legalists.
In this way, it has truly become a scene where all the schools of thought are serving the country.
There were not many hydrologists who passed Fu Jian's last round of interviews, but those who were eliminated, Fu Jian also arranged political affairs for them, and assisted the experts who passed the interview to go to Guanzhong to build water conservancy projects and help the people complete farming.
Just when the rain came, the drainage and irrigation project in Guanzhong played a huge role. Fu Jian ordered a group of water conservancy experts to stay around the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong to improve the irrigation project of the Zhengguo Canal and try to use water from Guanzhong to benefit the cool land.
Xuancheng's proposal is not acceptable. The cold land is mostly dry, which is different from the land in Guanzhong, and the suitable crops for the two places are also different.
Tea grown in cool land is suitable for export to countries in the Western Regions, and Guanzhong is suitable for growing corn, which is mainly shipped to domestic counties.
In this matter, Fu Jian followed Xuancheng's suggestion and ordered people to plant tea leaves in Liangdi. Now Zhang Tianxi came into play. He personally visited Yangping Gongfu and told Xuancheng that the people in Liangdi used to grow corn. The experience of failure.
Xuancheng said, "Liangdi is dry, and the land is mostly yellow sand. It is not appropriate to plant corn, but Liangdi's unique geographical environment is very suitable for growing tea. How about you go to Liangdi, this is yours. The old place, you are familiar with the geographical environment there, I ask the Holy Majesty to allow you to stay in the cold place for two months, and you will personally teach the people how to grow tea."
Zhang Tianxi didn't dare to shirk.
He used to be the lord of the cold land, but he was the lord of the inner courtyard of the palace, and he didn't understand the sufferings of the people.
But there is one person who knows more than him.
