The valley is surging and golden.
A short brown man with a white cloth wrapped his head and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy walked slowly between the valley waves.
The boy looked left and right, like most children who grew up in the city and had just moved to the countryside, and his eyes were full of novelty.
"This is the millet, which is the millet of the five grains mentioned in the book.
Everything in the world is wonderful.
This grain also has a strange thing.
It does not bloom during the day, so many grains, no matter when, do not bloom during the day, but at night, in the second half of the night, as if they knew the hour.
The man smiled and said, then bent down and pulled out a weed from the valley, which was similar in appearance to the grain.
He put his hands behind his back, gently shook the weeds in his hands, walked leisurely, looked at the golden valley waves in front of him, and said: "A long time ago, the upper and lower parts of the Yellow River were the most developed time for the Han people to farm, and until the Sui and Tang dynasties, the north and south of the Yangtze River were still far less developed than the northern agriculture.
But later, it was overcome, especially after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the land of cultivation in the north became a grassy place, and the population became scarce, but this is only one aspect.
This is an easy thing to do.
It has been more than 40 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and there are still a few years of war in the north.
If the Tartars dare to come to the border, then beat him back, the sparsely populated baby has not had time to grow up, so I will be transferred from a crowded place to enrich the population of the north.
However, there is one thing that is very difficult to do, that is, the weather grandchildren, the farmers rely on the weather for food, and the weather in the north does not know how to do it, and it is much worse than before.
Don't underestimate the weather, if there is an inch of rain in the sky, the ground will be flooded.
It is said that if the ground is dry for an inch, the crops will dry up.
The wind blew a little stronger, and the ripe crops were destroyed. ” The young man asked: "Grandpa Huang, the chaos can be solved, and if there are few people, it can also be solved."
But this weather is bad, and we are not immortals, what should we do?
It turned out that these two people were Zhu Di and his imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji.
When Zhu Di toured the north, he also brought Zhu Zhanji out.
The eldest grandson of the emperor grew up in the deep palace, and did not know the difficulty of the crops, so he brought out the eldest grandson who was the most favored, and took him with him when he went to the countryside to observe the customs and folk customs and the fields and mulberries, so that he knew that the needs of the country were all out of this, and the people's life was not easy.
Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "My grandson asked well, but I have the heart to do it, how can I not do it."
Grandson, whether it is the emperor governing the world, or the officials governing the place, there is a priority in doing things, dealing with things, you should first choose important and urgent things to do, and then do the slight and delayed time, now under the moment, what is the urgency of what is the importance of food and clothing These are the two most important things for a monarch.
The climate in the north is harsh, so the people have to be willing to be poor and have a shortage of food and clothing, otherwise they can blindly transfer food from the south, and if they don't help the poor in a bad climate, the land will be barren for two years, and the people have to move elsewhere in order to survive, and after three years, the land is gone, and the people are gone.
If we want to change this situation, we can't change the sky, but we can build water conservancy and make up for the lack of heaven.
The tributaries of the river, the springs, and even the wells on the spot can be led to the field.
After the establishment of Taizu, the most important farming thing, from the first year of Hongwu to the present, I Ming Dynasty opened a total of more than 5,000 pond weirs, river canals, and pi canal embankments, and now agriculture has far exceeded the Yuan time.
However, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the north was not quiet, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the entire Central Plains was destroyed, at that time, the grain was mainly concentrated in the south, and in order to let the people have enough to eat, it was necessary to first build these places that produced more grain, so these water conservancy were mostly concentrated in the south.
Now that the water conservancy construction in the south has become large-scale, we can concentrate on developing the north."
Zhu Di explained this principle of the country to Zhu Zhanji in simple terms, and Zhu Zhanji understood it in his heart and nodded frequently.
Zhu Di said: "Of course, in order to revive agriculture in the north, we must not only focus on water conservancy, such as purging the administration of officials, encouraging land reclamation, improving the soil, intensive cultivation, and selecting crops suitable for drought" As soon as he said this, a postman suddenly rode his horse and galloped along the ridge from a distance.
At the edge of the valley, a large group of officials were waiting there, avoiding space for the grandfather and grandson, and telling them to wander freely in the fields and chat.
As soon as he saw that a post guard arrived, someone stepped forward, asked a few questions, and someone led the post man who got off the horse to run towards them, Zhu Di saw it, so he took Zhu Zhanji's hand and said: "Go, go over and see" Zhu Di went up, the post guard took out a sealed chapter, which was the chapter of the impeachment of the prince by the Imperial Procuratorate, Zhu Di rushed back to the ground, under a big elm tree, the eunuch moved to Maza, carried a few small ones, and served tea, Zhu Di drank water, while looking at the concerto, after reading the chapter, his face showed a look of displeasure, and commanded loudly: "Come here, draft the decree." ” At that moment, someone carried a few more cases, put them not far from Zhu Di's side, spread the paper and grind the ink, and after the official sat down on the case, he picked up the pen and waited.
Zhu Di said: "Gao Chi Wu'er, I order you to supervise the country, you must be cautious everywhere, don't be impatient."
The ministers are all pillars of the country, and occasionally they are small and outdated, and An can humiliate them, and you sit in the palace, you must not listen to and believe partially, and treat others with your own likes and dislikes."
Zhu Di's big vernacular, the proposed official has long been accustomed to it, and he writes like a fly, brushing and writing: "Tell the prince, I order you to be a supervisor, and all affairs must be lenient and impatient."
If a minister has a minor fault, he should not be humiliated; Don't listen to likes and dislikes, and nurture virtue and hope, at this time.
The importance of the world's machine affairs, it is advisable to inspect and act, the slightest negligence, the harm is endless.
Remember: Be tolerant of the ministers, don't let your likes and dislikes be.
All meritorious heroes who commit crimes and transfer soldiers must be executed."
After the draft official wrote it and handed it to Zhu Di to read it again, Zhu Di nodded and said, "Use the seal, send it out."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he took Zhu Zhanji's little hand and said, "Let's go to the cotton field over there." ” As soon as the grandfather and grandson walked away, Zhu Zhanji picked up the grievances for his father, and he pouted and said: "Grandpa Huang, even if the grandson's father has something inappropriate, but after all, he is the crown prince of the dynasty, how can the imperial grandfather reprimand him because of a few words from an imperial envoy."
Grandpa didn't even know why his father scolded the minister."
Zhu Di was stunned, turned his head to look at his grandson's serious little face, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahahaha" Zhu Zhanji was even more displeased, shook off Zhu Di's big hand and said: "Why is the emperor's grandfather laughing, isn't what my grandson said wrong?"
"Hehe, of course not" Zhu Di touched his head dotingly, and said earnestly: "Grandson, your father is my son, but in state affairs, he is a king and a minister."

Grandpa Huang doesn't need to know why your father reprimanded the minister, his surname has always been gentle, since he is angry, there must be a reason, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, do you still need to ask?"
Zhu Zhanji said in surprise: "Then why is the emperor's grandfather?"
Zhu Di's expression became serious: "Grandson, your father may be angry because of anger, but summoning the minister to meet with Yu Taigong and teach him a strict lesson, this is arrogance."
The crown prince was ordered by me to supervise state affairs on my behalf, but he could not discipline the ministers on my behalf, he could only solve the matter, and these matters should be left to me to decide.
Whether he has a reason or not, to do so is to shake my authority."
Zhu Zhanji said puzzledly: "However, my father is the son of the emperor's grandfather, and he will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future." ” Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "If you are not the emperor, you will not be in charge of the monarchy, Lao Tzu is not at home, and his son can be the master for Lao Tzu."
But a country is never the same, and there are no two masters in the country, this is not an empty phrase in the play, there is a university question in it. ” Zhu Di stopped, let out a long breath, and said, "Everything in the world has its truth.
Just like the grain, it will always only bloom in the middle of the night, the sky is not clear, the flower will be defeated, since ancient times, it has never changed, we don't understand the truth, but it must have its truth.
The same is true of the court and the world.
From the emperor to the cabinet, from the cabinet to the six ministries, from the six ministries to the three local departments, the imperial court and the local government, the large and small yamen that connect the court and the locality, between the various yamen, between the various official positions, the joint affairs constitute a huge net that controls the world, and the emperor is the center of this net.
All of this is interdependent and mutually restrictive, and any violation of its rules will destroy the coordination of the entire huge net, thus distorting and deforming, appearing places beyond its control, and even causing greater consequences, and even the destruction of the country.
If the king does not become a king, and the minister does not become a minister, it will cause chaos.
Therefore, this order must not be disordered, and no one can let it be disordered for any reason."
Zhu Zhanji listened and showed a thoughtful expression.
Zhu Di took his hand and walked slowly along the ridge into the distance, and his solemn voice floated in the wind: "Grandson, as a monarch, you can never let the minister override the king, whether he is the king's closest filial son, or the loyal minister who is unparalleled in the world in loyalty and martyrdom, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister, otherwise the king will not be the king, and the minister will not be the minister."
Even if what he did was out of loyalty to the king, it was unforgivable.
Because, when he is above the king, the authority of the king has been hurt, and the officials will inevitably lose their reverence for the king because of it.
A farmer takes care of more than a dozen acres of fields, and he has to adapt to the seasons and seasons, breeding and planting seedlings, weeding and killing insects.
And an emperor takes care of the whole world, up and down, left and right, inside and outside, there are more things to consider and calculate, and one carelessness is the death of tens of millions of people, or even the subversion of the country.
Zhanji, one day, you will also become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor, what you think about, not for one person, you have to look at the world, you have to keep these words in mind" Zhu Zhanji also said with a childish voice: "Yes, the emperor's grandfather taught, and the grandson should keep it in mind."
