Chapter 1040: Exam Questions
Jinxiu had already heard about the gap in the number of ancient imperial examinations, but she was not curious when she heard it, but she was just looking at Shang Junyi's slightly hesitant eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything bad to say?"
This is really good, Jun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and put down the porridge bowl that he had been holding in his hand but did not drop much, "Sister, this exam question is a solution to this drought." ”
Jinxiu raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to continue, "It stands to reason that this kind of exam question is not surprising in this situation, and even many candidates have already guessed, but there is a question that makes me feel good.... It's not very nice...."
Listening to his heavy tone, Jinxiu also slowed down the speed of eating, concentrating his spirit on this matter, and then listened to Junyi say word by word, "Reading between the lines, I understand it to mean that the Northern Regions have the intention to borrow grain from several other countries, but you think, Xiliang never cultivates, the eastern territory is poor, the southern country is good at eating meat, flour and the like are very scarce, only the rich Zhongzhou is a good choice, so ....."
"Are you afraid that the Northern Regions will reconcile with Zhongzhou?" Seeing Jun Yi's hesitation, Jinxiu smiled, but the smile was very ironic, and she finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, accentuated her tone, and stared at Jun Yi's eyes
"No... Brother, what you think is really beautiful, even if you are invincible and brave, you can't compete with a holy decree of the little emperor, now, in addition to the coastal area, there are still water sources available in the northern region, which can be used for planting and drinking.
The rest of the region has fallen into desolation, not to mention growing food, I am afraid that it is difficult to survive, and now the victims gathered in the imperial capital are only a small part, and may not even occupy one-fifth of the people in the northern regions. ”
Jinxiu stretched out his finger and compared, "But this small part makes it difficult for the imperial capital, which is famous for its wealth and is where the imperial palace is located, to bear it, brother.... If you think about it carefully, what are the chances that Zhongzhou will agree to borrow grain? If you agree, how big will your appetite be?"
With these words, the atmosphere in the dining room fell silent, "Don't be afraid, after all, every step of the way is in my calculations, even if I don't ascend to the throne, I don't want the next emperor to be burdened with stigma, so I can only let the stupid little emperor do it himself!"
Jinxiu picked up the porridge bowl and put it in Jun Yi's hand, looking at his pursed lips and calm face, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother, don't you believe me? Have you ever heard that there are any victims outside the city who died? Aren't those who are sick now also better?"
Jinxiu said this, which made Jun Yi's eyes light up, and then embarrassedly lowered his head and picked up the bowl, "Yes, yes, yes.... It's my brother, according to what you said, I'll just wait for the release of the list, or prepare for the exam and read the book..."
Seeing him like this, Jinxiu couldn't help laughing, but this smile was very relaxed and pleasant, Jun Yang, who was stuffy and put rice in his mouth, couldn't help but let out a long breath when he saw this, and said, "Luo Xiao Luoyu is not going to the battlefield with Brother Bei, will he be injured?"
Jinxiu saw Junyi's eyebrows stretching and eating breakfast sweetly, and also picked up the porridge bowl, just picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots, and heard such a sentence, seeing the worry flashing in the villain's eyes, Jinxiu's heart couldn't help but warm
"It's okay, I received their news, they are all very good, even the soldiers, there are few casualties, although the battle was won, but Zhongzhou and Nanguo did not retreat, depending on the situation, I am afraid that it will be a protracted war, after all, the grain and grass in Lancheng are really very tight now. ”
Looking at Jun Yang's blinking eyes, Jinxiu still said one more sentence in the end, "Luo Xiao and Luo Yu, as well as the people who follow them, have made great contributions in this battle, because of the weapon, the casualties in this battle have been greatly reduced, it can be said that now in Lancheng, their brothers and sisters are very popular with their soldiers, how about it, now rest assured.....
On the villain's red little face, Jinxiu's heart has a stronger bad taste, but his face is not exposed, and the chopsticks turned and put the full dried bamboo shoots into the villain's bowl, and Jinxiu revealed a mouthful of pearl-like white teeth
"Yangyang is this age, it is the time to eat, Luo Xiao is running around, and he told me in the letter that they have grown taller and their clothes are shorter, and you have to work hard....."
Seeing the villain's cheeks bulging and eating, Jinxiu and Junyi couldn't help but smile softly, their younger brother had no mother since he was a child, and he lost his father when he was still ignorant.
In the past four years, he has spent all his time in the small courtyard of a thatched house, with low self-esteem, precociousness, and loneliness, these negative emotions have always surrounded him, and no one expected that in such a short period of time, he would be cultivated by Jinxiu to be so healthy, upright and warm.
"I'll work hard...."The villain's mouth bulged, but he raised his head and smiled at Jinxiu, "I will grow up quickly, grow into an excellent boy like Luo Xiao, and then help my sister share the trouble!"
Jinxiu felt a sour nose, and in the end she couldn't help but hug the villain into her arms, and shed tears, "Okay!" Jinxiu nodded again and again, and even the tears soaked the villain's clothes unconsciously, "Good boy...."Jinxiu muttered.
But I didn't know that her emotional appearance was exposed, and Jun Yi on the side was stunned for a long time, Jun Yang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, patted Jinxiu's back in a similar way, and comforted and promised again and again
"Every time I say something like this, my sister will have red eyes..."A long sigh came out of the little man's mouth, "I know that my sister thinks I'm young, but I really envy Luo Xiao Luo Yu, I can help you do things, but it's okay, I can be by my sister's side, I'm also very satisfied...."
If it weren't for the childishness of a teenager. Jinxiu was afraid that she would really think that this was what the adults said, so she lowered her eyelids, and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips. He gently patted the boy on the shoulder
"Sister promised you, if the situation in the Northern Regions is stable this time, I will let you walk freely in the store after studying, and you can learn about the things in the store with Brother Yisheng and Uncle Qian, but the premise of all this is that you like to do this, if you just want to help me share, then I would rather be tired myself....."
Jinxiu let go of the villain, stroked his hair, stared at his eyes, and said very seriously, "If you are afraid that I will be tired, then you can rest assured, when the northern region is stable, I will go back to the village, raise fish and grow flowers, and the store only needs to look at the bill, and there will be no trivialities."
But if you like business, I will help you, maybe you are not sure what you want now, then think about it, I am not in a hurry, I will watch you grow up..."
Watching you grow up, what a warm words this is, Jun Yang looked at Jinxiu in a daze for a while, and then nodded with a smile.
At this stall, there was a sudden sound of wings flapping at the window lattice, when Jinxiu turned his head to look, it was the little pigeon probing the little eyes of the brain, this pigeon Jinxiu recognized, it was one of the ones left at home, then this means that the good news has arrived at home.....
