After settling the matter in his mind, Yunxi did not express his opinion immediately, but let Wenyuan continue to express his thoughts. He continued: "My son heard from the guards that when his father was talking to the workers in the steel workshop, many of them
Workers' families all came to work in the workshops because they owed a lot of money. Ordinary people's life was really too difficult. A single turmoil in their family's savings would be all spent. The court should treat them better. When people's families have difficulties,
, taxes should be reduced or reduced.”
He didn't know that the main reason was that the interest rates were very high. The remaining harvest from a year's farming work was not enough to pay back the interest payments, so they had to work in the factory. But even if he only knew that these people came to work in the factory because they owed money,
I felt that the lives of the farmers were too hard, and I felt pity for them.
After Wenyuan finished speaking his thoughts, Yunxi said to him: "Wenyuan, what Mr. Luan said makes some sense, but it is not complete. If the war can be won by cultivating moral government, then why was the Song Dynasty defeated by the Jin Kingdom first?
, and was later destroyed by the Meng Yuan Dynasty? Did they treat the people of the Central Plains better than the Song Dynasty?" There are arguments that can be refuted, but it is better to give an example directly.
"Father, my son hasn't learned this yet. Mr. Luan just briefly talked about it when teaching "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames"." Wen Yuan suddenly frowned and said.
"Father forgot, after hearing what you said so many words, I thought you had already taught the course so far. You can ask Luan Wei about my words tomorrow and ask him if he has any opinions," Yunxi said.
"Yes, father." Wenyuan agreed respectfully.
"In addition, the view of craftsmen is also biased." Yunxi continued: "Although scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are divided into four industries, they all serve the court. It's just that scholars serve the court more, and merchants serve the court more.
"
"Farming is the foundation of the country. If farmers do not cultivate the land for a year, the people will be hungry for a year; but work is also very important. The needles and threads used by people are ground by blacksmiths, and the silk clothes you wear are made by silksmiths.
Coal for weaving and heating in winter is mined by miners from the mountains. Without these, ordinary people's livelihood would be very difficult. Therefore, workers and farmers are generally necessary for the country and cannot be neglected."
"Yes, father." Wenyuan said again.
"It is certainly a good thing to have mercy on the people, but it is even more important to grasp the root of the problem and prescribe the right medicine so that the people can truly benefit." Yunxi then gave an example: "In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform and implementation of the recruitment law looked good, but in the end
But it has caused public dissatisfaction. Therefore, it cannot be dealt with solely by tax exemption."
Wen Yuan didn't know what Wang Anshi's reform was, let alone what the recruitment law was. When he was about to ask, Xiyao said with a smile: "Husband, Yuan'er, you and your son were happy when you said it, but I and Min'er were drowsy when they heard it.
Sleep, I will be jealous of Wenyuan."
Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore." He started talking about everyday things.
After finishing the meal soon, Miner pestered Yunxi and asked him to play with her. Xiyao smiled and said: "Siqi came from home this morning. Didn't he bring a new set of toys? You go and let Siqi teach you how to play with the new toys.
, when you have learned it, teach your father and mother, and let your father and mother play with you."
Siqi also said: "Min'er, this set of toys came from overseas. It is very different from the toys we have played with before. It took me half a day to learn it. Come, I will teach you."
After hearing this, Min'er stopped pestering Yunxi and said to Siqi: "Let's go quickly, I want to play with a new toy." Then she said to Yunxi: "Dad, when my daughter learns it, she will definitely do it."
I want to play with my daughter."
"Well, Dad will definitely play with Min'er." Yunxi replied with a smile.
Min'er immediately took Siqi back to her dormitory, and Xianqin hurriedly followed. Wenyuan and Wenqi also bowed and left.
Yunhe watched them leave the palace, put his arms around Xiyao's waist, and walked towards her bedroom. Several maids wanted to follow, but Zhiyi stretched out his hand to stop them, and they stopped with surprised expressions on their faces.
Zhiyi winked at them, and then followed the two of them more than ten steps away.
"Is Xiyi about to give birth?" Yunxi asked.
"Both the imperial physician and the most experienced midwife said it would be around the tenth day of the eleventh month of the leap month."
"But let the imperial doctor and midwife make preparations. They will not be allowed to go home in the next few days. They will be waiting in the palace at any time. When Xiyi gives birth, we will reward them generously." "Husband, I have already made preparations.
"
"You have already become familiar with these things in the past few years. I just told you in vain."
"It's not in vain. Both my concubine and my sister will be very happy after hearing this." Xiyao said with a smile.
Yunxi also laughed and said a few jokes, but then said: "The words you scolded Min'er before the meal just now, this is the first time my husband has seen you scolding the child like this. It turns out that you treat Min'er like this on weekdays.
, no wonder Miner is so afraid of you."
"Husband, you dote on Min'er so much. If you don't take care of me anymore, she will be lawless. Even if you have me taking care of you like this, she will still be naughty all day long. If you don't take care of me anymore, she will topple the roof of Kunning Palace.
Already." Xiyao half-complained.
"I didn't say that what you were doing was wrong. It's just that when my husband saw Min'er acting like this in front of you, I always felt that I didn't know what to say."
"Husband, Min'er is also my concubine's daughter, and I do her best for her own good. It's not good for a girl to be so naughty all day long."
"The husband also knows, but father and daughter are always connected."
They talked a few more words about Min'er, and Yunxi suddenly said: "Do you usually care about what Mr. Luan talks about when Wenyuan and Wenqi are enlightened?"
Hearing this, Xiyao's heart tightened and she immediately said: "Husband, I have neglected to care about Wen Yuan and Wen Qi. Please punish me."
"I can't blame you for this. My husband also knows that you take care of palace affairs on weekdays and are very busy all day long. You are not much different from your husband in the previous court. It's just that this gentleman who enlightened them, I just did it a few years ago.
It seemed fine when I recruited him into the palace, but when I heard it today, why is he so unlikeable?"
"Although Wenyuan is the prince, he is only six years old after all. Why teach him these things?" Yunxi said very dissatisfied. He also wanted to instill what he wanted to teach Wenyuan, but Luan Wei instilled it first.
How can this be done without these messy things!
"Actually, it's okay to teach more deeply. The problem is that the way to govern a country is not about how capable you are as an emperor. The most important thing is balance, the balance between civil and military affairs, the balance between the generals and the civil servants, and the balance between the prefects and the chief envoys. Only in this way can the country be governed.
Yonggu. My husband is not saying that Wen Yuan has no ability, but those who can be high-ranking officials are all human beings. No matter how smart Wen Yuan is, how can one person deal with so many human beings? I have tried their best, but I discovered it later.
."
"Mr. Luan teaches Wen Yuan like this, and my husband is very afraid that he will favor civil servants in the future. How can this be done?"
"Then I came forward to fire Mr. Luan." Xiyao said immediately.
"That's not necessary, it will hurt your reputation. And he has finally taught the children in the past few years not to be so heartless. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I will take a few days off this year. After the Chinese New Year, I will appoint him a husband.
As for the official position in other places, just send him away from afar." Although Yunxi now hates Luan Wei, it is not good to be too ruthless at this point, so he decided to send him to other places as an official.
And Yunxi has decided to appoint him to an official position that is not very important but has a lot of things. He had paid attention to Luan Wei a few years ago and felt that he had no ability to manage politics and would probably not be able to hold such an official position. Then he would be able to be justly appointed.
He was demoted or dismissed from office and sent back to his hometown.
"Also, we must pay attention to martial arts. From tomorrow morning, practice martial arts for half an hour more, and then go to study." Yun He said again.
"Yeah." Xiyao agreed immediately.
"Wenyuan will be seven years old next year and will go to the Royal Academy to study. You need to take more care of him. After all, Wenyuan is still young. Don't take the classes he shouldn't take."
"He is a prince, and there must be many people in the school who want to make friends with him. You should be careful not to let people with bad conduct come into contact with Wenyuan. He is still young and has a weak ability to distinguish right from wrong. If he learns badly, he will
No good. Although he will have to come into contact with such a tribe in the future, we should wait a few years before talking about it. For now, let him associate with people of good character. For example, if someone like Uncle Twenty-Fifth approaches Wenyuan with his face licked, you don't have to
To be polite, ask him to enter the palace and give him a scolding."
"It's not possible to be scheming. Although Gao Xu looks like a pure martial artist on the surface, he is very scheming, no worse than his fourth uncle. We don't want Wen Yuan to associate with such a person now."
"But people with good moral character should also pay attention. They can't just study hard. Those who study hard must also be interested in martial arts and even those who like 'little ways'. You can't be biased."
Xiyao listened quietly at first, nodding from time to time; but when she heard it, she felt something was wrong. She took advantage of Yunxi's breath after finishing a sentence and said, "Husband, why do you say these things to me?"
"My husband will not hide it from you. According to the secret report from the northwest, the Kingdom of Samarkand has wiped out the surrounding small countries. There is a high possibility that it will send troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty next year."
"If Timur goes eastward, my husband must go to the northwest, not only to supervise the battle, but also if there is anything difficult for them to decide, he will be close and can handle it easily."
"My husband is afraid that when the clear news comes, people inside and outside the palace will be busy and forget about this matter, so I will tell you now."
"Husband, you, I don't want you to go to the northwest." Xiyao suddenly looked like an ordinary wife, leaning sideways in Yunxi's arms and said: "Husband, from the 28th year of our marriage, it will not be enough until next year.
In the past ten years, my husband has been away from the capital for five of those years and is no longer with me."
"I don't mind that it's hard work. When I first knew that I was going to marry into the royal family as my husband's concubine, I knew that the royal family is different from ordinary people, and it must be very hard."
"I feel empty every time my husband is away from the capital, and I have no energy all day long. I..." Xiyao rambled on for a long time.
Yunxi listened to her quietly and comforted in a low voice: "My husband also knows that it is not easy for you to support yourself when your husband is not in the capital. However, the battle against Samarkand next year will be very important. It will be better than last year."
The battle of Annan is much more important, and your husband must go to the northwest to take charge." The battle against Samarkand is not just a matter of fighting. The things to be dealt with after the war are more important than fighting. He has no way to make a quick decision in the capital.
Must go to the northwest front.
After hearing his tone, Xiyao knew that Yun Hei had decided not to come, so she could only wipe the corners of her eyes and forcefully smile: "Since your husband is going, there must be a reason to go. I will look after your husband's house in the capital." ."
"Next year when this battle is over, there will be nothing that requires my husband to leave the capital. From now on, my husband will be able to stay in the capital to accompany you." Yunxi said.
"Yeah." Xiyao agreed.
A night of silence.
The next day, Yunxi went to court and quietly went back. He saw Wenyuan boxing and did not meet anyone else, so he left Kunning Palace and went to Qianqing Palace to deal with the government affairs.
As he was walking, Yunxi remembered the kitchen he had seen during his inspection at the steel factory yesterday, and turned to walk towards the imperial kitchen. It was not that he was worried about the corruption of the chefs in the palace. If he was worried about corruption, it would be useless to go to the imperial kitchen. He should go to the imperial kitchen. He was mainly worried about the hygiene of the imperial dining room. He was in the south in the second half of last year, and after returning to Beijing this year, he didn't care about it. He was afraid that the living conditions of the imperial dining room would decline, so he wanted to go and inspect it in person.
After a while, they arrived at the imperial dining room. The young eunuch pushed open the door and walked in, shouting: "Your Majesty is here!" The busy chef put down the things in his hands as quickly as possible, turned his head and knelt down for three seconds in the direction of the door. Long live.
"The hands that were chopping vegetables on the chopping board are now on the ground. You must wash your hands before cutting vegetables and meat again. Not only must you wash your hands, but you must also wash your hands carefully and wash your hands with soap." Yunxi said immediately.
"Your Majesty, I must urge them to wash their hands. Since Your Majesty has imposed strict hygiene requirements, I and the previous head chef have strictly followed the regulations set by Your Majesty and managed the imperial dining room." Fan Hongjin, the person in charge here, said at this time.
But Yunxi frowned. "You are not a eunuch, why do you call yourself a slave? It doesn't matter whether you call yourself a junior, a minister, or even a commoner. Why do you call yourself a slave?"
Fan Hongjin flattered the horse and slapped him on the leg. While telling himself to be careful, he immediately said: "I made a mistake, please forgive me."
"That's all, I won't punish you this time, but you must never make a mistake again in the future." Yunxi said this, and wandered around the imperial dining room before he could thank him.
