Chapter 1577 It's Black
It is naturally not the job of noble princes like them to declare such a thing. In fact, the rule of the dynasty has always been layer by layer, so the decree can be passed down with very few people.
In other places, government orders may be delayed, but in the capital, because it is at the feet of the emperor, the government orders are still quite clear.
The prince's zhezi passed the threshold of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and was issued as a government order. Yin Li conveyed it to the two county magistrates in the capital. In less than a day, the two county magistrates in the capital issued it.
All the village chiefs were summoned to pass on the message.
However, not only the villagers, but also many officials in the county government did not recognize the medicinal materials designated by Taiyuan Hospital.
They say you have to pull out the herbs and dry them yourself. God knows what the herbs look like?
I heard adults say it can be found everywhere, but what medicinal materials can be found everywhere?
Therefore, although the district chiefs went to the village chiefs to convey their intentions after leaving the county government, not many people really took this matter to heart.
They never expected that as soon as they spoke to the village chiefs today, someone would come to them with a handful of weeds.
They looked at the weeds that were everywhere and asked hesitantly: "Is this medicine? Isn't this a broken copper coin? If your hand is cut, chew it and apply it on the wound to stop bleeding."
The official who came to deliver the samples was blocked for a while and then said: "You don't care so much. Anyway, it's just medicine. Let the people in the village find it like this and then dry it."
"this……"
Bai Shan, who followed to see what was going on, immediately said: "Old man, we didn't ask for these medicinal materials for nothing, we bought them with money."
He said gently: "It costs five cents per catty. The sun is so good now that it will be enough to dry for two or three days. At that time, this batch of medicinal materials will be redistributed to the people to fight the heat."
The village chiefs were a little confused, "Collect this and sell it to us again?"
"It's not for sale, it's for free." Bai Shan said: "The heat has been so severe this year that nine people have died of heat stroke in the capital today."
The village chiefs also knew about this because the village chief had long ago told them to avoid working between noon and Shen hours.
But……
Is this broken copper coin really useful?
No matter how suspicious they were, they finally went to pull weeds anyway.
This year's harvest is very bad. The summer harvest is only half of previous years. Now that it is so hot, the autumn harvest is even worse. Even if it only costs five cents per pound, it is still money, right?
At this time, weeding is no longer useful. Watering is done in turns. Even if you want to water every day, there won’t be that much water for you.
So many people began to pull weeds with the samples given by these noble gentlemen. Some people didn't even use them. They just said they were broken copper coins, and an adult who knew better would take them to pull weeds.
Bai Shan divided their people into two groups and asked Feng Zongping to take the people to take charge of Wannian County, while they stayed in Chang'an County.
Their work is not much, they just go around to make sure that the money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue to purchase medicinal herbs has been distributed to the herb collectors according to the amount, and then compile the data, and the supervisors will send the medicinal herbs back to Taiyuan Hospital, which will select them.
Finally, just dry it and divide the weight...
After a certain amount of medicinal herbs have been prepared in various places, Bai Shan and others will distribute the medicinal herbs selected by Taiyuan Hospital from county to county, and then from county to factory or village. They are still doing more data statistics and supervision work.
But sometimes when local officials were too busy, Bai Shan and the others would lend a hand to help, so from purchasing medicinal herbs to distributing medicinal herbs, by the time this relief was completed, several people were in a dark circle.
Even Yin or those who have been staying in tents or houses doing accounts are a little tanned, let alone those who run around wearing a bamboo hat.
On the way back to the city, Zhao Liulang kept taking out a small bronze mirror from his sleeve, feeling extremely sad, "It seems to be darker than yesterday."
When Bai Shan heard this, he turned to look at him seriously, nodded and said, "It's a little darker again. Are you not wearing a hat?"
Zhao Liulang said frustratedly: "I wear it, but it doesn't seem to be of much use."
Bai Shandao: "It is still useful, you will know it just by looking at Liu Huan."
Zhao Liulang turned to look at Liu Huan, who was riding a horse and walking aside, and instantly felt balanced.
Liu Huan:……
Bai Shan stretched out his hand to him, "Lend it to me."
Zhao Liulang sighed sadly again, and then gave him the bronze mirror, "Are we going back to the palace directly?"
Bai Shan responded. He sat on the horse and held a bronze mirror. He looked at his face carefully and said, "Go back and have business with the prince first, and then take a rest."
Zhao Liulang took a deep breath and touched his face, finally feeling a little happy.
Back in the East Palace, Bai Shan and Feng Zongping went to deliver errands to the prince, but the people who went to Shangzhou and Yongzhou hadn't come back yet. I heard that they had almost finished it, and it would only take a day or two.
They did a good job this time, because it was the prince who hosted it, so the prince somewhat restored his reputation in the court. In addition, Mr. Zhuang had been giving him small lessons during this time, focusing on the filial piety of princes and emperors.
Although the prince still likes to find faults, Mr. Zhuang never refutes his views and sometimes confirms his bad ideas.
In Mr. Zhuang’s words, the world is not black and white. Everyone has a good side and a bad side.
Even he has done unfair things in his life, but being a good person is what most people in this world want;
As a prince, he should also think about being a wise king.
As long as he has this idea and follows this path, even if he makes many mistakes in the process of governing today, he will not ask the prince not to make any mistakes. As long as he has the heart to serve the people and the ambition to be the king
, which is enough for now.
As Mr. Zhuang got older, he lived a more peaceful life. Although the prince still couldn't help being sarcastic when he had small lessons with him, his mood gradually became calmer.
As soon as he became calm, his temperament became less sharp than before. All the ministers in the court saw it, and although they didn't say it on their lips, they slowly became satisfied in their hearts.
In particular, Mr. Zhuang reminded the prince from time to time that children like to learn from their fathers. If you want your children to be filial in the future, then you should also be filial to the emperor and empress.
So the prince seemed a little reluctant, but he also took the initiative to give his father a piece of food, or asked more about the emperor's health.
The emperor was worried about Prince Gong recently, and he was embarrassed to be as strict as before after being cared for by the prince, so he softened his expression. In addition, with the queen on the side to mediate, the relationship between father and son actually became closer during this exchange.
Quite a few.
Prince Gong was tortured a lot by Zhou Man and Mingda Changyu. When he finally got used to walking and could walk back and forth twice without falling down tired, Zhou Man encouraged Aunt Shang to let him follow them to climb the mountain.
.
For this reason, Manbao also changed the time of coming to Daming Palace, because after research, they found that it was best to climb the mountain after midnight, the sun was not so strong, the breeze was gentle, there were many trees in the mountain, and it was shady and cool.
However, no matter how many trees provide shade, they will still be exposed to the sun, so Manbao and Mingda Changyu were all darkened. They were already darkened, not to mention Prince Gong who had to walk back and forth every morning.
