Renzi Volume Chapter 312 If a good wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
This was the first time that a conflicted and entangled mentality appeared in Feng Ziying who came from time travel, which surprised Feng Ziying herself.
I am actually really addicted to this era and can't help myself. Otherwise, I can completely reject the possibility of governor Shaanxi from the perspective of a gentleman not erecting dangerous walls and ensuring his own absolute safety as the first priority, unlike Now when Qi Yongtai raised this possibility, he actually got a little excited and even considered how to patrol Shaanxi as much as possible while avoiding immune diseases.
When he returned home, he was still worried. This situation was quickly noticed by Shen Yixiu.
Even Tong Niang playing around her knees could not completely make Feng Ziying feel relieved, which made Shen Yixiu realize that her husband might have really encountered something difficult.
In the past, no matter how complicated and dangerous the matter was, Feng Ziying would drop everything and play with her daughter as soon as her daughter showed up. But today, although her husband still accompanies her daughter to have fun, the gloom between her brows behind the smile still lingers. .
This was the first time Shen Yixiu saw her husband in this situation, so he waited until his daughter went to sleep, then accompanied Feng Ziying on the kang, washing her feet and beating her legs, while talking.
"It's better to know your husband than your wife. I know that I can't hide it from Wan Jun. Well, I do have something on my mind." Feng Ziying didn't intend to hide it from her wife. She said frankly: "The situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi is worrying. The thieves are in chaos and the plague is rising again. The locals may It’s hard to deal with it. There was a letter from Yulin about the situation, which was very bad. Today I went to Master Qi and the situation I got from Master Qi was also very bad.”
"Plague? 1 Shen Yixiu was shocked. Only then did she realize why her husband was so worried. This was no different than anything else. When a plague comes, it doesn't matter whether you are a high-ranking official or a commoner.
"Well, the pimple plague has broken out in Shanshan and Shaanxi. It's not serious yet, but in this situation, if there is no strong response strategy, it may be difficult to control Shanshan and Shaanxi." Feng Ziying held his wife's warm hand and said, He rubbed it carefully, with a serious look on his face, "Once the epidemic in Shanxi and Shaanxi cannot be controlled and it spreads to Henan and Beizhi, the situation will be serious, and even the capital may not be able to survive."
Shen Yixiu was not ignorant of the situation in the border areas, especially since her father Shen Jue also participated in politics in Shanxi. She frowned and said: "Although the pimple plague is dangerous, it is not the first time it has appeared. After the Yuanxi period, it appeared in the border areas." It appears from time to time, in Shanshan and even Beizhi, so it won't make my husband so worried, right?"
"It's different. The main reason is that the current situation is so bad." Feng Ziying didn't explain much and only said a few sentences. He believed that his wife would understand, "The refugees rebelled and wandered around to plunder and eat, so the disease could take the opportunity to spread among them. , the government cannot control it at all, and the key is to control the epidemic, it is necessary to draw a stronghold, strictly restrict the movement of people, and ensure the supply of medicine, money and food. But now many places in Shanxi and Shaanxi are thousands of miles away, and there is no food to eat. The government is also unable to solve the food problem. The people Why do you sit back and wait for death?"
Shen Yixiu's face gradually became serious, he nodded slightly and said hesitantly: "If this is the case, this situation is really dangerous. How does the court plan to deal with it?"
"The imperial court still has no good strategy. The main problem is that the rebellion and the plague are intertwined. This is the most difficult to solve. Shanshan and Shaanxi are unable to quell the rebellion. The imperial court originally hoped to trade space for time, so that the rebellion would be limited to Shanshan and Shaanxi. We can capture Shandong and then deal with it, but this idea is not feasible now. The plague is not like a riot. If you want to restrict it to Shanshan and Shaanxi, it can spread only in Shanshan and Shaanxi." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, "That's it. Difficulties of the imperial court."
Shen Yixiu heard some of the smells and held her husband's hand nervously: "Mr. Qi Ge wants you to go to Shanshan?"
Feng Ziying slightly nodded, "He, Master Qiao and Duke Yu may all have this intention. They feel that everything I have done in Shuntian Mansion has basically taken shape, and it would be a pity to stay any longer, so they want me to experience it. After this If this battle is done well, no one can say anything to me."
Shen Yixiu remained silent.
Although I also know that my husband’s reputation in the capital is growing, his time as an official was too short after all. He only visited the Hanlin Academy, Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, and basically did not leave the capital. If he wanted to go Shanshan, then this trip may not last two or three months, or even a year and a half, or maybe two or three years.
Of course she doesn't want her husband to take risks in her heart. This plague has no eyes, so who can guarantee that she won't be infected? But she knows her husband's temper very well. At this level, if the court is really interested, he probably won't refuse.
"If the husband wants to go to Shanshan, in what capacity will he go?" Shen Yixiu couldn't help but ask.
This is very important. It should not be a patrol supervisor. That level is too low. My husband is already a fourth-grade official. If he is a patrol supervisor, it does not meet his status. He can only be a governor.
"If you want to go, I'm afraid it's because you are the governor of Shaanxi." Feng Ziying was also thinking seriously about this issue.
"If you are a governor, you can bring your family members to take office." Shen Yixiu was an official, so he naturally understood these details.
Although the governor is also a temporary position and does not have a term of office, unlike the governor, he has a residence and specific affairs, and he can also bring his family members to the post.
Feng Ziying laughed, "I am worried about the situation in Shanxi. Even if I really want to go, I am still thinking about how to deal with it. I have never thought about this."
Shen Yixiu blushed slightly and rolled her eyes at her husband charmingly: "As a woman, I naturally have to think about these things. Unlike my husband, I worry about big things."
Feng Ziying was amused by Shen Yixiu's words and shook her head: "Wan Jun is not a commoner, how can we take him lightly? If my husband is going to Shanxi, I naturally hope that Wan Jun will accompany him, but Tong Niang is too young, and there is a plague in Shaanxi. Fang Qi, I can't let you two take risks."
"In fact, although the pimple plague is dangerous, it is inevitable. My husband was able to come up with strategies when the plague broke out after the flood in the capital, and he became famous in one fell swoop. He must have some experience in how to deal with the pimple plague." Shen Yixiu still thinks of her husband. She is full of confidence that her husband can always do amazing things, and she believes that this time will be no exception.
Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing when he saw his wife's confident look. He couldn't let his wives worry too much, "Of course there are some countermeasures for husbands, but we still have to go to the field to know how effective they are, but we can't say that yet." In terms of duty, I cannot be the governor of Shaanxi without being an important minister, and my husband's qualifications are still a bit shallow. Even if Qi Shi and others have this intention, the imperial court may not agree."
Shen Yixiu shook his head in disbelief, "This is not a fat job, but an important responsibility. I'm afraid not many people in the court are willing to go, but they just want to go. I'm afraid they don't have the qualifications and abilities, but they just want to fight. It's just fame and wealth, but once he loses, he only loses his life, but it harms the entire country of Zhou Dynasty. All the gentlemen will understand this truth, but my husband is different. You don't have to do this, but you do. Having this kind of ability, courage and determination is what the court values."
Shen Yixiu's words made Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. His eldest wife was really confident in him. She believed that she could turn the tide if she really went to Shaanxi? But even she didn't know what to do.
That is not a matter of several states and counties. Shaanxi has eight prefectures, two direct-controlled states, 21 subordinate states, and 95 counties, covering almost the entire northwest border, which is equivalent to the four states of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai in later generations. Province, plus the Hetao area in Inner Mongolia, the vastness of the territory is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Seeing the half-smiling look on her husband's face, Shen Yixiu wanted to cheer her husband up more and more, not to make him feel uneasy. "Does my husband feel that I am deliberately trying to reassure you, so I am exaggerating a bit?"
"Well, a little bit, Mr. Wan, your blind admiration makes me both proud and guilty. If I really go to Shaanxi and don't do a good job, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the court and to you, Mr. Wan? , my glorious image collapsed right here with you, it’s so unworthy.” Feng Ziying was half-joking.
"My husband is not wrong. I mean to cheer you up, but I am not blindly lying." Shen Yixiu said calmly: "You have several advantages in going to Shaanxi that others do not have."
"Oh, tell me." Feng Ziying laughed.
"First, my husband has been to Shaanxi when Ningxia suppressed the rebellion. He is not unfamiliar with Shaanxi. He is well-known in the three borders and four towns. These border areas are actually closely related to the interior of Shaanxi. If a child in the army wants to study, who can How can I not know the reputation of your work, Xiao Feng? Based on this alone, you have an advantage that others cannot match."
What Shen Yixiu said is really right.
After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the policy of using literature to control military affairs was pursued. Although military generals held high positions in the border areas, they were not welcomed in the interior of the court. If the children of military generals could read books, they would naturally be better than others. It is more worthwhile to invest in becoming a martial artist with your father and elder brother, so this is also the case for people like Feng Ziying and Sun Chuanting who were born as warriors, but after studying, they went directly to become civil servants and had no intention of going back to become warriors.
Feng Ziying was born in the martial arts, but she became famous as a civil servant, and the martial arts disciples looked up to her. If there was anyone in the family who could read, of course they would be willing to become a civil servant, and Feng Ziying is now a young man in the North. Being a leader of scholars, being able to get to know Feng Ziying and even be valued by Feng Ziying will undoubtedly bring more connections to the younger members of the family who are studying.
"So this is not just the children in the military, it is Shaanxi, which is also the hinterland of the North. Who among the literati does not know the reputation of Lord Dao?" Shen Yixiu said with a smile: "Who is not willing to make good friends with you as a future prospect? Where is the unlimited rising star in politics? Even my father mentioned in his letter that many people in Shanxi official circles mentioned my husband."
