Chapter 31 farming thirty

In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers: "Everything must be done first. The country is based on people, and people are based on food and clothing. Every business is based on not losing time. Those who don't lose time can be heard by the king. If wars are fought repeatedly, and construction is endless, and you want not to seize the farming season, can you get it?" Wang Yu said: "In the past, the Qin Emperor and Han Wu were extremely poor in war outside, and they worshiped extravagant palaces inside. It is difficult to prosper. Doesn’t he want to make people safe? He lost the way to make people safe. The fate of the Sui Dynasty is not far away. Your Majesty has inherited its disadvantages and knows why it is easy to change.

However, it is easy at the beginning, but it is really difficult in the end.Vow to be as cautious as the beginning, only to make the best of it. " Taizong said: "It is true of the public opinion. The only thing that depends on the king is the peace of the people and the peace of the country. If the king does not do anything, people will be happy, and if the king wants too much, people will suffer. Therefore, I suppress my emotions and destroy my desires, and I restrain myself and encourage my ears." In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a drought in the capital, and locusts arose.Emperor Taizong went into the garden to look at the grass. When he saw locusts, he picked up several locusts and cursed: "People depend on grain for their life, but if you eat it, it will harm the people. The people have made mistakes. If you give me one person, you have a spirit, but you should eat me." The heart is harmless to the common people." He swallowed it, and the left and right remonstrated: "I'm afraid it will become a disease, so don't do it." Taizong said: "I want to avoid the disaster, how can I avoid the disease?" So he swallowed it.Naturally, locusts will no longer be a disaster.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, there was a letter from the secretary saying: "The crown prince will hold the crowning ceremony, and it is advisable to use February as auspicious. Please follow up with soldiers to prepare for the ceremony." Taizong said: "Nowadays the east is flourishing, and it may hinder farming." Order changed to October.The crown prince Shaobao Xiao Yu said: "For the yin and yang family, use February to win." Taizong said: "Yin and yang are restrained, and I can't do it. If movement and stillness must be based on yin and yang, regardless of reason and righteousness, and if you want blessings, can you get it? If you follow the right way, you will naturally have good luck.

And the good and the bad are in the person, how can it be taboo to pretend to be yin and yang?Farming season is very important and should not be lost temporarily. " In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong calculated the value of a dou based on the world's millet price rate at five renminbi, especially in cheap places, which was worth three renminbi, because he said to his courtiers: "The country is based on the people, and people live on food. Ascend, then Zhaoshu is not owned by the state. Since I belong to Fengrenruosi, I am the parent of billions of people. If I want to be thrifty, I will not be extravagant. I always want to bestow wealth to all people in the world. Now I save corvee Fu, do not take away the time, let the people who are bigger than the house indulge in their crops, and this will be rich. Make courtesy, so that the villagers respect their elders less, and their wives respect their husbands. This is more expensive. But let the whole world be like this, I If you don't listen to the orchestra, don't play the game, just enjoy it!"
