After dressing up as a superb old lady, I became the backbone of the whole village Chapter 506: Chen Yu discusses politics, and Xiao Qiyu asks questions.
Su Qianxiu covered Xiao Qiyu with a quilt, turned around and lay on the soft couch, raised his hand and put out the lamp with a copper coin.
"Old madam, the lights are out over there, please go to sleep." Mrs. Wang said softly.
Chen Yu nodded, lay down and forced himself to sleep well. The experience of strong winds and waves was not just once or twice, but it was really nothing.
In the early morning, Chen Yu asked Xunmei to invite Zheng Yuee over.
"Mom, what should I do when that person comes to the house?" Zheng Yuee'e obviously got the news and was a little worried.
Chen Yu lowered his eyebrows and said, "My child doesn't need to do anything, but does he have suitable clothes for praying for jade?"
"Yes, I actually prepared some clothes for Qiyu this year. I originally thought they would be gifts if we meet him in the future, so that he can know that his family is thinking about him, and this will come in handy." Zheng Yuee'e said.
Chen Yu raised her eyelids and smiled: "Yue'e is getting better and better at doing things, good!"
Zheng Yue'e was very happy to receive the praise from her mother-in-law: "Mom, we are already twenty-seven today. The sixth brother and his wife will be home today. The fifth brother has written back a long time ago. He will be home tomorrow at the latest. Now it is time to leave.
There is no news about Third Brother and the others in Huizhou Mansion."
"We'll all come back for the New Year, there's no rush." Chen Yu said.
Zheng Yue'e smiled: "Then I'm relieved, mother, have a good rest. It will be the same as before. Meals will be delivered to each room, and the children will come to accompany you."
"There's no need for girls Fang Fei to come over." Chen Yu said, "We girls from the Su family don't want to enter the Tian family."
Zheng Yue'e was shocked by these words: "Mom, why are you mentioning this? Our girls are still young."
"I can't stand someone who is so crazy about me. A good child will never have a comfortable life. It's not uncommon for that little thing to lead to a lifetime of wealth." Chen Yu looked at Zheng Yue'e and said, "Little Fang Fei is a little friendly to Qi Yu, mother.
Put it this way, no matter how good Qiyu is, it doesn’t belong to anyone but our Su family girls!”
"Yes! Mom, don't worry, I've remembered this." Zheng Yuee'e's heart was in her throat. Not to mention that Fang Fei was only eleven years old, how could she bring up the marriage? There are two big girls in the family, and Fu Niang is celebrating the New Year.
She is nineteen, and Lan Niang is eighteen, but they have not even mentioned marriage!
After Zheng Yue'e left, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead.
Xiao Qiyu aside, Queen Jiang might have this idea.
Others thought it was a nest of wealth, but Chen Yu had a clear conscience. The girls from the Su family were absolutely not allowed to enter the palace. It would be bad!
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for Xiao Qiyu to be the only favorite in the harem. How many women does he have? This is enough for the women in the harem to drink. Not to mention that the harem involves so many previous dynasties. The Su family does not need to send girls.
Entering the palace to show loyalty, not to mention having to worry about being tied down by relatives in the palace. If Xiao Qiyu really dared to ask, he would have put these interests on the table and made it clear.
Because Su Qianxiu and Xiao Qiyu were hungover, Chen Yu didn't let them serve food here. It wasn't until the two children came to greet him that Chen Yu asked Mrs. Wang to serve rice, including porridge, side dishes and steamed buns, which were very ordinary.
Chen Yu looked at Xiao Qiyu who was immersed in eating, lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips to smile. Some of this child's behavior may have blinded the eyes of the pedantic minister. After all, Xiao Qiyu has not been pampered since he was a child.
Tianjiazi, he needs to be more down-to-earth.
In my own eyes, he is a down-to-earth person, but in the eyes of others, I am afraid he is not well-educated enough, right?
After eating and drinking, Su Qianxiu and Xiao Qiyu accompanied Chen Yu.
Su Shaoli had already dragged Su Zhuyin out. If he couldn't listen to some words, he should hide far away and be quiet.
"I picked some of the Su family's tea, spring tea and autumn tea, let's have a taste." Chen Yu asked Xiao Qiyu and Su Qianxiu to sit over and make tea by themselves.
As the fragrance of tea lingered, Chen Yucai said: "The beginning of spring is the time for farming again. The rice in Liangzhou Prefecture is very good, and there are also many fields in Wangjing Prefecture. We have to make good use of this spring."
"Prime Minister Meng said the same thing. He even offered a discount and wanted our family to prepare more corn seeds." Xiao Qiyu held the tea cup in both hands: "Grandma, do you think it's okay?"
Chen Yu smiled: "Nothing is impossible, as long as our family has it, it will be fine. However, the climate in the north and south is different, and we need to have people who are good at farming. Slowly make the seeds more adaptable to the climate in the north. That is the long-term plan."
Xiao Qiyu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, knowing that grandma must have put a lot of effort into these things.
With the fragrant tea in her throat, Xiao Qiyu raised her head and said, "Grandma, I have even thought about letting you go to Beijing to supervise the country."
Chen Yu chuckled: "You really dare to risk the disapproval of the world."
"I know it's not appropriate." Xiao Qiyu sighed softly: "But among the ministers and servants in the court, who can have your heart to share worries for the country?"
"Qiyu, Mr. Liang said at the beginning of the year that Dai Viet will implement a new policy. The new policy will benefit the people. It will definitely affect the interests of everyone in the family. They cannot hide your eyes because you know the suffering of the people.
If they are not willing to do so, they will inevitably have their own motives in secret. The New Deal may not be all right, but it is absolutely right that the people of Dai Viet live and work in peace and contentment. There are some conservative and important people who should be punished when they need to be punished."
Chen Yu paused for a moment: "This is not something that happens overnight. You can't rush it. Just like the word "steady" has a word "hurry" in it, right? The more anxious things are, the more important they are to be steady and handle things steadily."
Xiao Qiyu nodded.
Chen Yu also said: "The Lord cannot be angry and raise an army, and the general cannot be angry and attack. The two armies are facing each other, and Qiyu should be the same at this time. Instead of reasoning with those people, it is better to truly understand the shortcomings of the New Deal.
Find them all and make sure there are no mistakes as much as possible. Even if there are mistakes, you can still find them and correct them in time. That is the foundation of governing the country."
Xiao Qiyu nodded thoughtfully.
"In this world, the people are the people who live forever. They are the country and the country of the imperial court. They are not some powerful officials or officials. Life spans only a hundred years, and it is just a fleeting moment. The imperial court must have capable ministers, and there must also be critical ministers, those greedy officials.
Powerful ministers and those who do nothing, so-called loyal ministers, cannot be used. How to identify a minister's ability is a skill that Qiyu should learn. Only with this skill can he know how to use it well. When good steel is used on the blade, it is a sharp weapon for Qiyu to govern the country.
"Chen Yu said.
Xiao Qiyu is really glad that she is back home. She is the only person in the world who dares to speak out so bluntly!
"There is someone called Chu, Chu..." Xiao Qiyu scratched his head.
Su Qianxiu whispered: "Is Chu Liang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, reinstated?"
"Yes, Chu Liangfu, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is in the third rank, has written to order seventy-eight percent of the soldiers of the three armies to be disarmed and return to their fields." Xiao Qiyu looked at Chen Yu: "What does grandma think of this matter?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What does the new law say about the three armies?"
"In the new law, there are some adjustments to the three armies. Military training grounds are set up in Xuande Prefecture and Liangzhou Prefecture. Every three years, the generals guarding the four barbarians must return to Beijing. According to the discussion of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, they will be transferred and promoted.
There will be a competition every three years to select good generals, and veterans will be promoted and new recruits will join the army." Xiao Qiyu said.
Chen Yu thought for a while: "Prime Minister Meng is indeed a capable minister! As for letting the soldiers of the three armies disarm and return to their fields, it is not advisable. The huge country of Dayue does not have brave and capable soldiers, so how can the country be consolidated forever?"
Xiao Qiyu stood up and came to Chen Yu: "Grandma, tell me in detail, okay?"
