The questions Wu Mei raised to Yun Jin were obviously beyond the scope of Yun Jin's consideration.
Unable to understand Wu Mei's intentions, the child quietly resigned to Wu Mei and stopped mentioning anything about the value of embroidery work, because she could see that the queen was not asking about her, but about her.
Yeah.
Watching Yun Jin and Li Si leave the main hall, Wu Mei looked at Li Xian and Li Dan who were gathered around the food box and continued to eat steamed buns, and said to Li Zhi, "That's good, right?"
Li Zhi withdrew his regretful gaze and said after a long time: "It is true. A group of dragons rising is not as good as a single dragon rising, but..."
When Wu Mei saw that Li Zhi stopped mid-sentence, she shook her head and said, "At least it's not Yun Jin."
Li Zhi said: "Yes, you can't be too kind."
Wu Mei said: "Has your Majesty thought about the explanation given by the Young Master?"
Li Zhi said: "It is really inappropriate to drive dogs into back alleys."
Wu Mei said: "The First Emperor used prefectures and counties to govern the world, and then the Han followed, and the Jin followed. After all, it was incomplete. If your majesty's talents and strategies cannot end this incompleteness, future generations will have no hope of dealing with this matter, and may suffer the same fate as the Qin Dynasty.
The mistakes of Han, Jin and Sui."
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "You can't use up your luck, you can't use up your power, you can't use up your strength, you can't use up your wealth, and you can't use up your power. It's good to leave some forgiveness for your descendants."
Wu Mei said: "Only Yun Chu mentioned the matter of the nobles seizing the Japanese country in a vague way in the memorial, and the others actually pretended to be deaf and dumb."
Li Zhidao: "Yun Chu is somewhat loyal, but not much. It's more about protecting himself."
Wu Mei said: "As a distinguished nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, this is considered very valuable."
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Yunchu's group of people is very different from the previous nobles. I am willing to call them the new nobles."
Wu Mei said: "Where is the new thing?"
Li Zhidao: "They are arrogant and unwilling to dig water from the original pool. They like to dig water into the pool from outside the pool. This leads to more and more water in the original pool, and they get more water by themselves."
Naturally, there are more.
One advantage of doing this is that everyone benefits from their actions, so that everyone will not be dissatisfied because they are too rich. I wonder if the Queen has discovered that Yun Chu is always controlling his Yun family intentionally or unintentionally.
I've had people calculate the scale. Yunchu's wealth accumulation is basically the same as the increase in the Tang Dynasty's treasury.
If the national treasury increases by one point, the Yun family's wealth will increase by one point. If the national treasury increases by two points, the Yun family will also rise. Once the national treasury is damaged, the Yun family will definitely spend the excess wealth in another way."
Wu Mei frowned and said, "Maybe this is the Yun family's way of survival."
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "I thought that was not the case. There should be deep knowledge in it. I will definitely ask for a clear explanation after I return to Luoyang."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Since this child Yun Jin has come to this palace to make a fortune, does it mean that the national treasury revenue will have a good momentum in the coming year?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "I hope so."
Wu Mei took another look at the gluttonous Li Xian and Li Dan, and her depressed mood seemed to be much better. However, she immediately frowned. These two children had eaten too much.
When Yun Jin returned to her camp, she first told her mother the whole story of meeting the queen today, and finally said: "Our family is developing dyes and increasing the types of silk threads, which is obviously a good thing for the country and the people. Why does the queen think this is wrong?"
Yu Xiurong thought for a while and said: "For the royal family, the gains and losses of a city or a place are not important. If the people of the entire Tang Dynasty cannot be as good as Chang'an, it may be harmful to the royal family."
Yun Jin said: "Why is it harmful?"
Yu Xiurong frowned and said, "This is not a question I can answer for you, Auntie. You should ask Aye."
Yun Jin nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, I saw the emperor's other two sons today."
Yu Xiurong was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "How?"
Yun Jin said: "You are stupid. You are not as smart as the prince brother, but you are still cowardly."
Yu Xiurong said: "If that's the case, then stay away from him."
Yun Jin shook his head and said: "I was originally thinking about whether I could take action from them if the Queen did not agree. If we take them down, even if the Queen does not agree, people will say that the Queen is duplicitous."
Yu Xiurong said: "My mother-in-law and your husband have both told you that when looking at things, you must have a broad field of vision and a far-reaching gaze. Your father is a tiger. So, as a little tiger, you can provoke those who cannot defeat the tiger."
The cub of the wild beast.
The two silly little bastards you are talking about today, their parents are dragons, and your father cannot defeat them. Therefore, once their dragon parents come to settle a score with you, your father will not be able to protect you.
"
Yun Jin nodded and said: "Okay, stay away from me from now on. Mom, is there any other kid that I need to keep away from?"
Yu Xiurong said proudly: "The rest are nothing to worry about."
Yun Jin chuckled and went back to his tent to rest. It was obvious that Yun Jin did not take the difficulties he encountered today to heart.
Because he couldn't eat meat, Di Renjie felt empty all day long.
Although Yun's steamed buns are very suitable to his appetite, for Di Renjie, who has always been over-brained, meat is the real food, and those delicious steamed buns can only satisfy his mouth.
Especially when he kept drinking cans of tea, Di Renjie felt that his belly had become smaller.
"If you bear with me as long as you can, when your majesty offers sacrifices to heaven, we will be able to share the meat. Then Yunchu and I will give you our share. Moreover, Yunchu's piece is larger and fatter, and will definitely make you happy."
You enjoyed it."
After listening to the gentle words of comfort, Di Renjie patted his belly and said: "What do you mean by offering sacrifices to heaven? Let us empty our stomachs for a few days, and then each of us will be given a piece of fat to eat. What if we get diarrhea while running on the top of Mount Tai?"
Woolen cloth?"
He smiled softly and said: "We are just a group of minions, specially cheering and cheering for His Majesty. Don't take yourself too seriously. After all, if His Majesty stands alone on the top of Mount Tai and says that he is the emperor and no one responds, wouldn't it look like that?"
Your Majesty is stupid?"
Yun Chu, who was reading a book, rolled up the book, tapped it on the table and said, "Keep your mouth full of virtue."
He said softly: "It seems that you are His Majesty's most loyal minister."
Yunchu took a sip of sweet tea and said, "Don't think of your Majesty as a person, but as a collective of all of us. When your Majesty declares himself the emperor on the top of Mount Tai, it means that our ethnic group will be the leader of this vast land."
The most supreme being on earth.
At that moment, His Majesty was not alone, but our group."
Di Renjie pointed at Yun Chu and said: "You say we two are rude, but you are actually more rude than us. Now tell me, what exactly did your Majesty and the Young Master say at Caishi Creek?"
Yun Chu added some tea to his tea cup; "Li Chengxiu told me that the Young Master wanted me to send five hundred people here, and all of them are sailors."
Wen Wen thought for a moment and said, "Five hundred sailors from Dahang City are nothing. I wonder why Duke Ying ordered us so confidently instead of asking for it?"
Di Renjie said: "Because we are also nobles in the eyes of Yinggong. Now that he is going to Japan to do what nobles should do, we naturally have to listen to his words."
Wen Wen said: "It's so reasonable and confident, which means that your Majesty and the Duke have already reached an agreement."
Yun Chu waved the book and said, "I am also going to privately fund fifty ships for the British Duke."
Wen Wen said: "Since you are like this, I don't want to fall behind. I will be responsible for filling these fifty boats with food when the time comes."
Di Renjie said: "It's a pity that my family's wealth is so small that I have no choice but to send three of my children to board the boat to join the public in the grand ceremony."
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "You should have eight children in your family. I will be of use."
Seeing what Yunchu said, Wen Wen couldn't help but said, "Does it mean that there is still hope of repaying our efforts this time?"
Yun Chu said: "The Japanese country has a lot of gold, silver, sulfur and saltpeter."
Wen Wen said quickly: "In this case, six children from my family will go to Japan to fight in the war."
Di Renjie whispered: "I have many Bai Ding children, so I can send more of them."
Yunchu stood up and drank the tea and said: "Then go back and make a charter and give it to Duke Ying at that time. In short, I will give Duke Ying what he wants this time. If he still can't win the Japanese country, I will see how he sees me.
."
Wen Wen said strangely: "The old god said that the young master will not survive until June next year at most."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "The old god also said that he should have died decades ago, but today he ate six big buns brought by Yun Jin and complained that my buns had thick skin and little filling."
Di Renjie sighed and said, "This is your majesty's guarantee..."
Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie tenderly. He didn't want to talk at this moment. There are many things in this world that cannot be understood in detail. It is said that the torrent of the times is a generous and tragic song. In the end, it is just a result of mutual compromise.
In the second year of Linde's reign in the Tang Dynasty, on the Wuwu day of the Jiashen month, everything was auspicious.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites lit the cannon.
Three trumpet blasts awakened the heaven and earth. The emperor and empress of the Tang Dynasty rode on chariots, guided by officials from the Ministry of Rites in front and followed by hundreds of officials and retinues. They set foot on the Mount Tai road in the rain.
At this time, Yun Chu lost half of his majesty as the Duke of Lantian County in the Tang Dynasty. He was wearing a raincoat, carrying his son Yun Luan in his arms, and holding his daughter Yun Jin in his hand. He was crowded with a huge crowd and followed each other up the mountain step by step.
Yu Xiurong led her son Yun Jin behind her, also wearing a raincoat, walking on the mountain road where there were occasional cries of children.
Wen Wen's face was pale. He looked at the dark blue Taishan Mountain in the mist and rain, and at his wife who was struggling to move forward with the support of her son Wen Huan. She muttered to Di Renjie beside her: "Are we really going to go up like this?"
Di Renjie also looked at his wife and son worriedly, and sighed: "I don't know how those bastards in the Ministry of Rites arranged their arrangements. They don't allow servants and maids to go up the mountain."
Yun Chu looked back at Wen Wen and said to Di Renjie, "This is a lot of hard work. There are no more than six thousand steps."
