183.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (23)
"If our Qu family doesn't save themselves, the hard work of our ancestors for generations will be in vain. Qu Wu let out a long sigh, revealing infinite melancholy.
"So, you let Qing'er go to Chen Guo for the Qu family?" Qu Ci asked with a frown.
"Big brother Mingjian, why should I take Xia Nan as an apprentice? In addition to qualifications, it is mainly because he can provide another way for our Qu family!" Qu Wu said solemnly: "I want to transfer the Qu family to the Chen country. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Rao is Qu Ci has already been mentally prepared under Qu Wu's layers of foreshadowing, but he just thinks that Qu Wu wants to open another way out in the Chen State, just like the Sheep Tongue Family is assisting the Jin State and the Xun State at the same time, they can also be divided into two branches to develop in two places. Unexpectedly, Qu Wu directly said that he wanted to give up the Chu State.
Qu Ci was so shocked that the white porcelain gold-painted teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"This kind of big deal...... Have you figured it out, why don't we be like the sheep's tongue?" Qu Ci said hesitantly. Giving up the relocation of the family that has been operating here for hundreds of years, the Chu royal family is definitely not willing to let them go like this.
"I've thought it through, big brother. Now that Qing'er has grown up, and our brothers are old, how many more years can we live? If it can be completed in the hands of our generation, Qing'er and their generation can develop with peace of mind, and they don't have to face the risk of family extinction like us.
Besides, we can take it slowly, and we don't need to rush it. Let Qing'er's generation leave first in the name of study tours, and then we will slowly transfer. Qu Wu had obviously thought about it a long time ago.
The sheep's tongue hung its head next to it and did not speak. This matter seems to be the core matter of the Qu family, and it is obviously not suitable for him to be an outsider here. But since Qu Wu talked about it in front of him, he did not shy away from it at all, which shows that Qu Wu not only regards him as a political partner in the future, but also an ordinary family friendship, but also his own family.
It seems that in the future, his own sheep tongue clan will be on the ship of the Qu family. In the future, his ambitions and ideals are destined to be integrated with Qu Bo's career. To be able to create a future with the person you respect the most in your heart, Yang Tongue is full of expectations.
It's just that Qu Ci is a moderate person, and when he heard Qu Wu talk about it at this time, he couldn't make a decision for a while. This younger brother of his is far above himself, and when he was young, he was regarded as a person who could revitalize the Qu family and bring the Qu family to another level. It's a pity that these years have been ruined for many years because of the fiancée.
Thinking of this, Qu Ci raised his head and asked Qu Wudao: "Brother, do you have anything to do with the girl of the Song family when you make this decision?"
His younger brother has a deep affection for the girl of the Song family who was once engaged to him, and for her sake, he is unwilling to marry a wife and have children, and all kinds of persecution by the family are useless. Qu Ci is afraid that this decision made by her brother is also related to her. That would be unwise.
"Where did the eldest brother go? The daughter of the Song family is now the queen mother, what does it have to do with us? I only pretend to be the foundation of the Qu family in my heart, and I can't fit any woman. Qu Wu's face did not change, and his heart did not beat.
"That's good! That's good!" Qu Ci said with relief.
The sheep's tongue was next to it, but it was not heard by itself. The person he admires the most is brazenly pulling the banner of the family's future, tying his family to his beloved woman's family together, paving the way for his beloved woman's future. He didn't know what to say.
Intellectually, he felt that what his brother said was right. If he can say it, I'm afraid he has already thought it through. But emotionally speaking, he was still reluctant to leave.
Qu Ci was silent for a long time, and finally said: "This matter is not trivial, let's think about it in the long run!"
"What else do you want to discuss in the long run? Just do what the second child says!" an old woman wearing a dark purple hundred flowers and blessing pattern stepped into Zhiwei Hall from the outside, and her tone was categorical.
"Mother, it's too hasty to make a decision!" Qu Ci said to his mother.
"What's the hurry? Don't forget how your father died! How much effort did our Qu family put in for the Chu State? As a result, the first king directly dismissed your father from his position as Situ for the sake of a Song daughter. Your father was so depressed that he died young. Your brothers are not capable of fulfilling their ambitions at all. The King of Chu doesn't need us at all, what are you doing in the Chu Kingdom?" the old man said sadly.
Qu Wu looked at his nose and nose and his heart, motionless. He knew that his brother was nostalgic and steady, so he gave the maids next to him a look early in the morning and asked them to invite his mother over. My mother had always been haunted by her father's death, and as soon as she came out, she didn't have to say anything more.
Qu Ci opened his mouth, unable to speak, so he had to stand aside with his hands down.
The old woman glanced at Qu Ci, sighed faintly, and said with amazement: "Boss, I know what you are worried about. But in the world, nothing is absolutely safe. Which family has not been able to establish and develop through a lot of risks and crises? I am afraid that if we lose that upward spirit, it will really go downhill.
If you are uneasy, just assume that you don't know and watch your brother toss!
Your father didn't see the Qu family become the first family of the kingdoms during his lifetime, and my old wife still looks forward to seeing it, and when I see your father in the future, I can tell him and comfort him!"
Qu Mu has already said so, and Qu Ci can't say anything more. He bowed his head and promised, "My son will follow his mother's teachings!"
Seeing the corners of Qu Wu's lips slightly raised, the sheep tongue showed a smile.
Today's Chen Linggong doesn't care. He has some food, drink and merry in his head, and as long as he is not disturbed in this regard, he does not bother to care about the rest. Anyway, in the future, the world will be given to Xia Nan, and he doesn't have the ability to move this kid, so it's better to be safe and take what he needs.
But the king's eating, drinking, and merrymaking were also a lot of money. Xia Ji asked Xia Nan to recruit some merchants and let them satisfy Chen Linggong. Merchants were the richest and most despised class, giving them the opportunity to serve the emperor directly, and they had to fight for it when they broke their heads.
Anyway, the money will come when it is gone, and the opportunity to face the gentleman is really gone. Therefore, although Chen Linggong's extravagance was better than before, it did not affect the fullness of the treasury. This not only made Chen Linggong feel comfortable (because there was no one to advise him), but also made the courtiers impeccable.
Xia Nan grasped the big and small things in the Chen State with confidence, and practiced how to manage a country.
Xia Ji has followed many emperors in her previous missions, and she knows a lot of principles and methods of governing the country. When she had nothing to do, Xia Ji wrote down those things, edited them into a book, and showed them to Xia Nan in the name of being given by strange people. The wisdom of later generations is always more advanced than that of predecessors, and Xia Nan has benefited a lot from it.
Xia Nan now lacks nothing in his hands, only people.
Sheep Tongue originally wanted to waste for a while, but in this way, Qu Wu got Chen Guo, and brought a group of younger brothers of the Qu family.
Natsuhime's eyes widened when she saw them.
After the mother and son of the Xia family just took over the Qu family and the people of the Yang Tongue family in Chen Guo, Xia Ji asked those people to send a letter to Qu Wu and Yang Yu, saying that Chen Guo was in urgent need of all kinds of talents, and hoped that they could come to Chen Guo to help, and it was best to get their relatives and friends again, and the Xia family would definitely not treat them badly.
Xia Ji originally thought that they would be satisfied if they could get two or three people, but what did she see? Not counting sheep's tongues, there were more than two dozen people coming.
Although they are not very old, the children cultivated by the big families of this era are all used by the world, and they can get started if they are familiar with the situation. Moreover, under the influence of their parents, they will adapt very quickly.
Moreover, Yang Yu also gave all kinds of explicit hints to Xia Ji's mother and son, indicating that they would not leave here in the future! Xia Ji and Xia Nan were overjoyed, and after a little discussion, they decided to put them in various central departments for training.
They also told the departments not to treat these children as cheap labor, but to expose them to core issues. In the future, several talents can be cultivated, and they will be included in the assessment of officials in those departments, and the rewards will be very rich. If you haven't trained a person to take charge of yourself for two years, the whole department will be punished.
As for the sheep's tongue, Xia Nan asked him to familiarize himself with the work between various departments, and choose an official position by himself in the future.
After more than ten years of blind tossing and turning by Chen Linggong and the previous power struggle, Chen Guo is now in a situation where there are many people in the post. After this group of children grows up, it should be able to relieve a lot!
These children are all the twentieth generation of the Qu family, some of them are grandchildren and some are concubines. Qu Qing is their boss. They didn't expect that they could enter the core department of Chen Guo without any inspection, and they were directly trained as key reserve talents. I was very happy to put it down. No wonder the second uncle had to let them come to Chen Guo to study!
Qu Wu, who was far away in the Chu State, was about to travel around the world. Since she said that Chen Guo needs people, then help her poach good talents from all over the world. After receiving the news from his nephews, he ordered the Qu family informants lurking in various countries to spread the news.
Suddenly, the reputation of the prince of Chen, who was a corporal and thirsty for talents, and who could be reused as long as he had ideals and ambitions, spread all over the vassal states.
Although students who travel to study abroad will be valued in various countries, they will not be directly sent to the central government for training. Even if you stay in that country, you have to go through many tests and start with unimportant work. Because in that case, after all, if they leave, won't they take away all the secrets of this country?
The image that Xia Nan was created suddenly made the students who were not very proud of all countries see full of sincerity, although they did not come to Chen Guo immediately, but Chen Guo also became the object of their attention.
"Uncle Xiang, why hasn't Doctor Qu come to Chen Guo yet?" Xia Ji seized the opportunity to visit Zhulin as a guest, and asked him after a tea dinner.
He said that there are still things that have not been done well, and he will come when they are done. The sheep tongue replied.
In fact, he didn't quite understand Qu Bo's thoughts. He obviously did this qiē for the sake of Mrs. Xia in front of him, but he didn't show his face for a long time. Do you wait for the beautiful woman to be chased by others? You know, it is very common for women to remarry these days.
As Xia Nan's position became more and more stable, Mrs. Xia became more and more sought-after. She doesn't need to dress herself up ugly when she goes out, a girl who is comparable to cardamom and a stunning face that doesn't seem to grow old makes many middle-aged widows and dignitaries worry about her. I'm not afraid that she will be snatched away.
Sheep tongue has to come to the forest every month as a guest, and every time you come, you can see all kinds of gifts and begging to meet. He wrote all these things to Qu Bo, but he didn't seem to be anxious at all, and he didn't hurry to guard the beauty.
Now that Mrs. Xia asked, he could only answer with such a reason.
"Oh, he's been sending us a lot of talent over time, and I'm very grateful to him. But why didn't he come himself?"
Xia Nan is still a child after all, no matter how capable he is, he also needs to have someone by his side who can take on the most important things and is reliable enough! In Xia Ji's eyes, Qu Wu is the most suitable person.
