The morning light has just emerged, and the sky has already shown a red light. Although there is still a little bit of coolness in the morning in April, it will still be extremely hot at noon.

Today, Empress Dowager He got up early and called Diao Chan over. Today she asked Diao Chan to make her the most beautiful hairstyle, so that she could show her motherly demeanor in front of the courtiers of the Han Dynasty.

From a humble daughter of the Tu family to becoming the lord of the harem who is the mother of the world, and then becoming the current empress dowager, this is the peak period of Empress Dowager He's life, and of course it is something to be happy about.

After all, the prince is still young and does not have the ability to govern independently, so as the queen mother, she must listen to the government behind the curtain. Thinking that the power of the big man will be in her own hands, the queen mother can't help feeling happy.

"Queen, you look really good today." Diao Chan smiled while looking at the beautiful face of Queen He in the bronze mirror while combing the queen's hair.

"Hehe, I am already old, how can I compare to you girls. But today the crown prince is going to be enthroned as the Son of Heaven, so I should admit that I am old too." Empress Dowager He looked at her face in the bronze mirror. The long hair was slowly changing in Diao Chan's hands, while watching her face with a smile, she was very kind in front of Diao Chan.

"Reporting to your empress, the sage came to pay your respects to your empress."

At this moment, a court lady ran in hurriedly, and said to the Queen Mother while saluting, because the prince is now the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but today's ceremony is held for the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The guards, eunuchs and The court lady had known for a long time that the crown prince had been renamed the emperor on the day Lingdi passed away.

"This child, there is such an important event today, and you haven't prepared well. What are you doing here so early?" Queen Mother He was still very happy in her heart, but she cursed with a smile.

"Queen Mother, my son greets you."

At this moment, Liu Bian had already come in. He asked the maid to come in to report, while he slowly followed in behind, because he was the Son of Heaven, so he didn't need to wait outside for a long time.

"I'm busy right now, so don't ask your majesty to greet me. Are you ready? Today is a big event for you, so you can't make any mistakes."

"Mother, don't worry, my son will wake up in the middle of the night, everything has been prepared, and nothing will be missed. However, my son came to pay my respects to my mother, but there is still one thing that I need to discuss with my mother first."

"Today's enthronement ceremony is the most important thing. Does the emperor have any other important matters?"

"That's right. In the past few days, I have received some memorials from various counties and counties in Gyeonggi Province. It is said that Lingling has transferred a large number of young and middle-aged laborers from various counties and counties, which has led to the situation that no one is farming in the wild during the busy farming season in various counties and counties. This has made many people feel uneasy. Yeah. My mother also knows that last year various disasters were suffered in various places, and the harvest around Gyeonggi was not good, and they also shouldered part of the responsibility of helping the victims, so the people's homes did not have much food left. If this year's plowing season is delayed This year, it is impossible to have a good harvest, which will cause the people in the counties and counties around Gyeonggi to panic, and even cause a series of other social problems. Mother, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Liu Bian decided to throw the question to Empress Dowager He first, to see what she would say, and then he could further express his thoughts. Sure enough, after listening to Liu Bian's words, Empress Dowager He thought for a while and said:

"The problem mentioned by the emperor is indeed not small. If it affects the people's farming, it will also affect the people's food problem. It should be paid attention to. However, your father and the emperor have just died, and the construction of the Lingling Mausoleum is still short, so most of the projects are still under construction. The work has not yet been completed, and a large number of laborers must rush to work day and night, otherwise others will talk about the emperor behind his back. What do you think, your majesty, the ministers?"

"My queen, there are two attitudes among the ministers. One thinks that labor labor should be reduced so that they have enough labor to solve the farming problem and not delay the production activities of the common people. The other thinks that the construction of the Lingling Mausoleum is a top priority and must be completed on schedule. , cannot reduce the amount of labor, and the production activities of the common people can be completed by the old and weak women in the family, or they can be given some wage subsidies.”

"I think it's good to give some wage subsidies to laborers. Is there any problem affecting it?"

"Indeed, Queen Mother, among the fourteen prefectures in the world, the people in the Sili Department around Gyeonggi are completely devoted to the imperial court. So far, the Yellow Turbans have not been able to make a fuss, but if the people in all counties lose their harvest this year , although they have received some wage subsidies, they still cannot meet the living needs of the family throughout the year. This will cause many conflicts, and because of the important geographical location of the counties around Gyeonggi, once the Yellow Turban thieves Seizing the opportunity to mobilize these ordinary people to cause chaos will have a huge impact on our entire Dahan world, and may even shake the foundation of Dahan."

"This is the truth. This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen. Those ministers, don't they have any other way? Those many ministers in the court, who has no idea, can't they come up with something that can be done?" ?”

"The ministers discussed and felt that in the past, this kind of labor often liked to work without exerting effort. That is to say, although there were many people transferred, very few actually worked hard. The main reason was that their enthusiasm was not high. Now we If the enthusiasm of each laborer can be brought into play, then only two-thirds of the original laborers are required to complete the completed project, and the remaining one-third of the laborers can go home to cultivate the land. That is to say, the current Sikong Mansion Among the 30 laborers ordered to be transferred, [-] ordinary people can be saved and let them go home to cultivate the land, so that there will be little delay in spring plowing."

"Only leaving 20 laborers, can we really guarantee that the Lingling Mausoleum project will be completed as scheduled? And the remaining [-] laborers will be returned home, can we guarantee that the spring plowing will not be delayed? Ministers do this, don't both sides fail to do a good job when the time comes , not only arouse the discussion of the people all over the world, but also arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the counties and counties of the capital."

"My mother doesn't know that there are villagers from the south of the Yangtze River among the guards of the East Palace. Their hometown has invented a method of livestock farming, but it is only used by some local people, which can save one-third of the original labor. Son I found someone to demonstrate it, and I think it is very feasible. If this farming method can be extended to the people in the counties and counties of Gyeonggi Province, it will definitely save a lot of labor, and this year's spring plowing can also be completed smoothly. "

"With such a good method, of course it should be promoted. The number of people in the world has been reduced by countless wars in the past few years. If this method of livestock farming can be used, maybe more people can have food. The unrest will end, too."
