Feng Ziying shook her head: "We should try our best not to interfere in the affairs of the Tian family. I am a civil servant, not a military officer."
The implication is that if Wu Xun got involved, it could be said that he had no control over it, but it was a common practice for civil servants not to participate.
“What about father-in-law?” Shen Yixiu still didn’t quite understand.
"In order to not be the general of the Fifth Army Camp, my father would rather go to Yulin than get involved in it." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that when I arrived in Liaodong, I still couldn't get rid of the identity of the governor of Jiliao, and Jizhen was still under my father's control. Jurisdiction, so..."
"So what?" Shen Yixiu's bright eyes flashed. She was about to become a mother. She was sitting on Feng Ziying's lap. She was much heavier than before. Feng Ziying enjoyed this rare moment of tenderness.
“So sometimes it’s inevitable, but my father is far away in Liaodong, and it takes time to send messages, so sometimes I have to leave it to Brother You to make the decision.” Feng Ziying couldn’t help laughing.
I'm afraid that it was only at this time that You Shigong could deeply feel that the position of the commander-in-chief of Ji Town was not just a matter of high position and power, but also high risks.
I don’t even think about it, how can there be a good thing that only enjoys rights without fulfilling obligations and taking risks, but my father also had some considerations in placing You Shigong in this position. Compared with the power and staunchness of Cao Wenzhao, You Shigong seemed more powerful. In order to be more sophisticated and diplomatic, he sat in the position of the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, which made people feel more at ease.
“Is the situation in Beijing dangerous?” Shen Yixiu is pregnant now and is deeply afraid of something happening.
My husband was originally a well-educated editor in the Hanlin Academy, but now he suddenly went to Yongping Mansion. He just went there, but he caught up with the Mongolian invasion. Yongping Mansion was the first to bear the brunt, so that was fine. The husband completed the fight perfectly. mission, but now she is involved in the more unpredictable Tian family's fight for the heir, which makes her unavoidably worried.
Shen Yixiu is not a weak woman who doesn't understand anything. She has been studying and literacy with her father since she was a child, and she often hears her father talk about affairs in the court. However, her husband has never faced such a complicated situation this time, which is simply worse than what his father has faced. What is described is several times more complicated and bizarre.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. If the Mongols can't get in, it's just a gust of wind. Within a month, they will definitely have to retreat." Feng Ziying is very sure of this. "Of course, the Mongols will definitely not be content with such an anticlimactic outcome and will continue to do so. They are wreaking havoc in the surrounding areas outside the city, but as long as they cannot enter the city, they will have to leave sooner or later. It depends on how the Ministry of War arranges it. If they want to avoid too much pressure on disaster relief in the future, they should still take the initiative to attack. The Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army The elite are all here, there is no reason to maintain a defensive posture like this..."
Feng Ziying is not sure about Niu Jizong's thoughts now. In theory, Niu Jizong cannot be regarded as a famous general, but at least he can be regarded as a veteran. The Xuan army is in his hands. Facing the rough and unorganized Outer Khalkha people, as long as he looks for opportunities, he can do it. Teach the people of Transkarkha a lesson.
As long as the Waikakars are taught a lesson and make them realize that staying in Gyeonggi has no consequences and can only pay a higher price, they will think of leaving, at least now. The Kahar people also gained a lot. As long as they wanted to leave, even the Chahar people could not stop them.
Perhaps Niu Jizong is still waiting for an opportunity, waiting for his opponent to reveal his flaws, but is this opponent from Outer Khalkha or someone from the capital?
Seeing that although her husband was a little worried, his expression was still calm, Shen Yixiu gradually felt at ease, thinking that even though her husband was not a Beijing official, he was still worried about such things, including the emperor and all the princes in the court. Still relying on him so much, she was extremely proud inside.
“My lord, Jun Yong came here a few days ago and talked about my lord, saying that although my lord is not in the capital, his reputation is still spread, and he is very envious of me.” Shen Yixiu said with a smile as if he remembered something.
"Really? I can't believe it. Jun Yong is a very proud person. I remember that even when I passed the Jinshi examination and was awarded the Imperial Academy of Writing, Jun Yong didn't say much." Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"Jun Yong has always been acquainted with Yang Wenruo and the Hou brothers, and he especially admires Yang Wenruo. But a few days ago, he was saying that Yang Wenruo, as a distinguished member of the Ministry of War, was actually sent to Yongping Mansion by the officials of the Ministry of War. Asking for advice, Yang Wenruo and the others actually regarded it as a rare assignment and rushed to him, which made him hit hard..."
Shen Yixiu thought of his younger brother's angry look and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
“Why, even Yang Wenruo has to behave properly in front of me and ask for advice. He still thinks that my brother-in-law is a waste of fame?” Feng Ziying also laughed.
"Well, now even Yang Wenruo is ashamed of my husband, so Jun Yong naturally has nothing to say." Shen Yixiu was in a good mood, "I wonder when my husband will return to Yongping? If there is still some time, I Then let Jun Yong come back for a meal."
"It's hard to say now. I was called back by the cabinet. Well, it may be because of the emperor's intention. The report has already been reported and it's time to go back. But there is no order from the cabinet now. They didn't let me go back or stay. I wanted to stay for two more days, but the Waikakars in Yongping haven't retreated yet and are still a hidden danger, so I plan to wait another day tomorrow and see. If there is no news by the day after tomorrow, I will bid farewell to the cabinet."
Although the family in Beijing is nostalgic, Feng Ziying also knows that now is not the time for children to love each other. If the Neikha people don't leave, the peace of Yongping Mansion will never be restored. But having said that, it seems that even in NeiKhar
The Erkha people can retreat, but as long as the Chahar people in Shuntian Prefecture are still there, Yongping Prefecture cannot develop peacefully.
To be honest, Feng Ziying is very anxious now. He wants to build this steel complex integrating mining, coking, iron smelting, gun manufacturing and other iron-making industries in Yongping Mansion safely and smoothly.
As long as the two bases of Qian'an and Lulong are fully developed and built, Yuguan Port can radiate to the entire Jingdong and Western Liaoning, and even deeper into the Yehe tribe, the five inner Khalkha tribes and the Chahar people. He believes that Yongping
The mansion can quickly develop into one of the most prosperous Gyeonggi mansions in the Jingdong region.
Of course, it is also necessary to obtain corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes from Xu Guangqi, the three major weapons to solve the food problem, but I don’t know how well Xu Guangqi’s experiments in Tianjin are going.
Feng Ziying also knew that although these three major killer weapons had been spread to China, he had the impression from the history of the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life that these three crops were basically not promoted and used until after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.
Promote use on a large scale.
Although it cannot be said that these three crops can completely solve the belly problem of the Han people, if promoted and used properly, especially in many mountainous and hilly areas with barren land, there is no doubt that they can alleviate the dynastic dilemma of the Little Ice Age to a certain extent.
.
Seeing her husband hugging her and still stroking and feeling her bulging belly with his hands, but looking a little distracted, Shen Yixiu felt heartbroken and a little proud.
Her husband's talents and abilities are recognized by everyone in the court and favored by the emperor. This is an honor for her as a legitimate wife. However, she is not the kind of jealous person. She still treats Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu on a friendly basis.
Even if they cannot be as close as sisters, they should at least be harmonious and not cause trouble to the husband who is determined to do something great in his career, so that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to planning his great career.
"Ms. sir, if you still have a day or two before returning to Yongping, you might as well go to Rongguo Mansion for a walk."
Feng Ziying woke up from her deep thoughts, "Oh? Mr. Wan is a virtuous man, but he is ashamed of his husband."
"My husband, please don't think so narrowly. My sister from the Xue family and my sister from the Lin family often see each other. I think they are both very good girls. It is my blessing to marry my husband."
Shen Yixiu seemed very calm and open-minded, "The Feng family is very small, and I hope that some sisters can help the Feng family as soon as possible. This will also reduce the pressure on me..."
Feng Ziying laughed and stroked Shen Yixiu's bulging belly again, "Wan Jun, don't be too stressed. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, your husband is extremely happy for this baby. Well, speaking from the bottom of my heart, I hope it's the best for my husband." A daughter, even if she is the eldest daughter of the Feng family, will be able to serve as an eldest sister and mother in the future, and she will be able to properly discipline her younger brothers and sisters. Moreover, the best age for a woman to have children is after she is twenty years old. In fact, sixteen or seventeen years old is a little too young. If it's a little smaller, it's actually bad for your health."
"My husband has said this point of view many times, but now the laws of the Zhou Dynasty stipulate that a man can marry at the age of 14, and a woman can marry at the age of 12. Generally speaking, in the countryside, marriage can be done at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Even in the big families in the city, the marriage is only for men. At the age of 17 or 18, a woman will get married at the age of 16 or 17. When I married my husband, I was almost 20 years old. People outside seemed to think that I would not be able to get married."
Shen Yixiu smiled sweetly.
“That’s because people in the world are ignorant and don’t understand science.” Feng Ziying said casually.
“Science? What is science?” Shen Yixiu was surprised.
Feng Ziying was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a while. It happened that Yun Shang came from outside to report: "Sir, there is news from outside that Mr. Cao Yucao is here."
Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it's time for him to come."
"Today's News" now seems to be the largest private newspaper in the capital. Under the guidance of "Today's News", several newspapers and periodicals have appeared in the capital city, such as "Jingshi Business News", "Beidi Morning News" and so on. It also has some influence, but "Jingshi Business Daily" focuses on business content, while "Beidi Morning News" focuses more on market news in the capital city. "Today's News" is still a well-deserved banner, not only covering business news, but also Gyeonggi News has even begun to quietly get involved in some current political news that is less sensitive or reports good news rather than bad news.
Cao Yu is indispensable for making "Today's News" reach this level. His keen sense of smell and insight, coupled with his considerable business talent, make "Today's News" what it is today.
