Nie Sanniang has always been worried about Zhao Ziliang sending Zhao Ting to the Central Plains.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, when the family was having dinner, she sighed: "Hey, it's been almost two months since Ting'er and the others left.
I don't know if they have arrived in Chang'an yet.
It's freezing cold here."
Running outside is hard and tiring.”
Zhao Ziliang put down his chopsticks and said to her: "Why do you only care about your son and not about Xinping and Yining?
You don't care about the mission?"
Nie Sanniang glared at Zhao Ziliang: "Of course I only care about my son.
Yining has her husband and my son is taking care of her.
What can happen to Ting'er?
I don't know about that child.
He would rather suffer hardship than let it happen."
Wife and children suffer Don’t I still care about you, my husband, when I am tired?
Getting involved in politics” "It's simply unreasonable."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head.
When the eldest lady Chen Qingying saw the two people arguing, she quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, what's there to argue about?
It's almost the Chinese New Year, so don't say a few words.
Pour your father's wine and allow him to drink more today." a cup" "Oh" Zhao Lei agreed, picked up the jug and poured Zhao Ziliang another glass of wine.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Zhao Lei and asked: "By the way, after the army squadron comes back, your military position will be automatically relieved.
Haven't you been responsible for the planting and promotion of cotton in the Farmland and Water Conservancy Department?
How is this going?"
Zhao Lei said: "After I came back, I went back to the Farmland and Water Conservancy Department to sell off my vacation the next day, and started to ask about the cultivation and promotion of cotton.
According to my understanding of the matter in the past two months, our Farmland and Water Conservancy Department planted seeds this year.
A hundred acres of cotton land was divided into five pieces of land, which were cultivated and planted according to different methods.
The officials who conducted the experimental planting found that this stuff attracted bugs.
When there were too many bugs on the cotton, they had to send people to catch the bugs.
After the cotton trees grew to half waist height, we found that the cotton trees that had been pulled out of branches were The cotton will stop growing and start blooming, with the most flowers; while the cotton that has not been pulled out will continue to grow taller and have fewer leaves.
The nutrients are sucked away by the cotton stalks and leaves, and of course not many flowers will bloom.
In addition, the best distance between two cotton plants is one and a half feet wide.
If it is too wide, it wastes land, and if it is too narrow, the cotton plants will not grow.
If we don't weed the cotton trees, the number of cottons won't grow.
If it's windy and rainy when the cotton trees are blooming, there won't be too many cotton bolls.
If it's windy and sunny, Li, the number of cotton bolls will be large.
The cotton harvest mainly depends on the number of cotton bolls.
This thing is too fertilizing.
Fertilization must be applied several times every year to maintain the fertility of the land.
It is definitely not enough to rely only on human feces for fertilization.
The excrement of cattle, sheep and horses must also be collected for fertilization.
It won’t work if it’s too dry, let alone if it rains all the time.”
Zhao Ziliang stopped Zhao Lei from continuing: "Okay, you can write a statement for me tomorrow.
You must clearly state the most suitable cultivation methods, steps and precautions."
Zhao Lei agreed: "Yes, father."
On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Ziliang held the last military and political meeting of the Western Qin royal court.
After this meeting, in addition to arranging necessary duty officials and civil servants in the military and political offices below the royal court, everyone else would go home for the New Year holiday and wait until next year.
The official business did not begin until after the Lantern Festival.

With a long signal, Zhao Ziliang stepped onto the throne.
Since the palace built on the mountain still has half a year to be completed, Zhao Ziliang still handles military and political affairs in the original Jiedushi Palace, which is also the palace.
All the officials and generals clasped their fists and bowed in salute: "Greetings to your Majesty."
"Free gift" "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The officials and generals retreated to stand on both sides.
Liu Tiao, Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, stood up first and saluted with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, for the founding of the country, all the offices under the Government Affairs Council are making intensive preparations.
It has been two months now, and all preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner.
It's just that The King has not set a specific date for the founding ceremony, so there are many things that are difficult to carry out.
Please also ask the King to set a specific date so that the officials and others can make various preparations."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "When will the construction of the palace be completed and when will it be put into use?"
Fan Yao, deputy lieutenant of the Department of Public Works under the Government Affairs Council and the designer and supervisor of the palace, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the construction of the palace will be completed by the end of June next year, and it will be delivered for use in July next year."
Zhao Ziliang was a little unhappy and said: "I need a precise date, not June or July.
There are thirty days in a month.
Which day are you talking about?"
Fan Yao said bravely: "The construction will be completed before June 18th next year and delivered on time on July 16th."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the officials and generals and asked: "The founding celebration must be held in the newly built Palace Square, so it must be after July 16th, but is it too hot to hold the founding celebration in July and August?"
" All the officials couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and began to whisper among themselves.
Generally speaking, when holding major ceremonies, they should dress neatly and dignifiedly.
The weather in July and August is too hot, so wouldn't it be necessary to dress too formal, too dignified, and too thick?
This thought was so exciting that everyone thought that the founding celebration was not suitable to be held in July or August.
Zhao Ziliang saw that everyone agreed, so he looked at Doctor Qin Tiansi and asked: "Mr.
Li, which day in September is the auspicious day?"
Li Binggang, a doctor in Qin Tiansi, was the great-grandson of Li Chengfeng, the great fortune teller of the Tang Dynasty.
He inherited many skills from his great-grandfather and had several brushes.
He and Taoist Wang Ximing were the Taoist Taishan Beidou on the border of Western Qin. , one is in the opposition.
Li Binggang counted with his fingers, then stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, my official has calculated it.
The first day of September next year will be an auspicious day, suitable for weddings, sacrifices, and celebrations."
"If it rains that day, I will only ask you."
Zhao Ziliang dropped a sentence, and then said to the officials and generals: "In this case, then set the day of the founding celebration on the first day of September, Prime Minister Liu, and your Government Affairs Council will Just prepare according to this date.”
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang picked up the notebook on the desk in front of him and read through it, then raised his head and said: "It is already the end of the year.
Let's first make a summary of all military and political affairs this year, and then the Finance Yamen will hand over next year's budget.
Prime Minister Liu, you are the Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council.
Please first summarize what decrees and measures our West Qin has promulgated in government affairs this year, what results they have achieved, and what disadvantages and impacts they have."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Tiao immediately stood up and spoke eloquently.
He spoke in an organized, quick-thinking, and clear manner.
Officials of the Western Qin Dynasty are already familiar with the characteristics of Zhao Ziliang's ruling style, so they will be fully prepared when holding major or minor meetings.
No one wants to be accused of dereliction of duty by Zhao Ziliang in public.
After the Finance Office submitted next year's financial budget, Zhao Ziliang picked it up and read it.
While reading, he said: "Isn't the official office budget of the royal court offices next year too high?
Some extravagance and waste is not a good habit.
All government offices.
Don't arbitrarily increase offices or increase the number of officials.
Once these people who eat official meals enter the government office, they will not be able to increase the number of officials at will.
It will be difficult to let them go.

After all, if you have not made any big mistakes, you can't just lay off people at will.
Otherwise, who will serve me?
The salaries of officials and civil servants can be increased appropriately.
After all, prices have also increased.
We can't keep the same salary level as before.
And there is a founding ceremony to be held next year.
The budget is only 300,000 yuan, which is not what I want.
It's so luxurious and such a grand celebration.
I have celebrated several birthdays in the past few years, but not even one of them.
The newly born princes and princesses didn't even have a full-moon banquet.
When the eldest prince and the second prince got married, they didn't even have a big banquet.
Speaking of which, I The king is not a person who likes extravagance, luxury and great achievements.
This founding celebration is just one time.
As long as the Western Qin Dynasty does not perish, can it be There will be another founding ceremony in the future.
Even if your Finance Office wants to save money, you can't make this founding ceremony too shabby.
At that time, not only will the Central Plains court send officials to watch the ceremony, but we will also invite envoys from surrounding countries to come and watch the ceremony. , if you are too shabby and make other people laugh, it will be bad, right?
Then where will the face of this website be put, and where will the face of the entire Western Qin country be put?"
"Yes, yes, I will go back and revise it immediately after the official dismissal of the court, and try to give it to the king for review before the end of the year."
The official from the Finance Office immediately came out and saluted.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "The government affairs are generally like this, but there is another thing that I am more concerned about, and that is the planting and promotion of cotton next year.
This is what I have been concerned about since the year before last.
Farmland Through this year's experiments, the Department of Water Resources has mastered a very feasible set of After reading the cultivation and planting methods and related precautions, I think it is feasible.
Then starting from next year, trial planting will be carried out in various places in the Sogdian Protectorate.
If the harvest is good and meets the expected standards, then from the year after next Large-scale planting began throughout the Western Qin Dynasty, and corresponding textile skills improved.
Ping also needs to be studied and improved.
The collected cotton must be spun into yarn, woven into cotton cloth, and made into clothes, cotton-padded clothes, etc.
In the future, it will not only be hemp and silk that can be used to make fabrics and clothes, but cotton will account for a large proportion. , its effect of dispersing sweat and keeping out the cold is much higher than that of hemp and silk, even comparable to fur, but fur is better than It is rare, but if we can increase cotton production and have mature textile and cutting techniques, then cotton will become a very important source of income for the officials and people of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Not only can we use it ourselves, but we can also sell it to the south. and the West, even to the barbarians in the Far North”:
