"Move a little to the right, move a little more, well, okay!"
Before Xi Zhen entered the door, she heard Xi Bin's energetic voice, she walked in with a smile, and saw Xi Bin and Xi Cong were busy decorating the wedding room, and there were a few people sent by the woman to help in the house.
All the belongings in the wedding room were newly bought, and the windows and doors were painted in bright red, which looked very festive.
Du Qiniang was concentrating on cutting paper on the side.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy.
Xi Zhen's heart moved, and he walked towards them.
"Mother, brother, what do you need my help with?"
"Zhen'er, come over and cut paper, leave the hard work to their men." Du Qiniang hurriedly beckoned to her.
"Okay, mother." Xi Zhen then sat next to Du Qi Niang, picked up scissors and cut the big red 'double happiness'.
"You watch, you learn, and by the time you get married, you'll understand everything." Du Qiniang said with a smile, and Xizhen's face suddenly turned red when she heard it.
"Mother, mine is still early."
"It's not early, you're fifteen years old now, and there's only three years left, and Guan Niang talked to me about your life's events a few days ago."
"Mother, don't betroth me, I'm not mentally prepared." Xi Zhen said busily.
"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, and when the time comes, it will be completed, what psychological preparation do you need? Besides, at this age, there should be this plan. Du Qiniang still retains the traditional ideas of the older generation.
"In short, I will plan it myself, and I will discuss it with you, that is, please don't help me make a private appointment." Xi Zhen said again.
"Okay, okay, don't you know your temperament? However, you can really think about it. Du Qiniang looked at her and said earnestly.
Xizhen had to nod.
"The day after tomorrow, the woman's family will send someone to shop the house, and the eighteenth is the day of your eldest brother's wedding, have you asked for leave from the palace?" Du Qiniang suddenly remembered this and hurriedly asked.
"I already asked for it yesterday, for a total of three days."
"Oh, that's good." Du Qiniang was relieved. Xizhen has always done things properly, so Du Qiniang is also very relieved of her.
While he was busy, the housekeeper came in and said to Xi Zhen, "Jiang Fu has sent someone to deliver a message to you, asking you to come over tonight." ”
"Got it, thank you Uncle Liu!" Xi Zhen was overjoyed.
"Going to play with Yuibai again?" Du Qiniang asked.
"Hmm." Hee-jin nodded at her.
After dinner, Xizhen went to Jiangfu.
Uncle Jiang Ping and the envoy Li Changsheng were already waiting for her in the living room.
This is the first time Xi Zhen has seen Li Changsheng, the envoy of Xi Kingdom, but seeing that he is about forty years old, his eyebrows are handsome, elegant and generous, and the eight-character beard is meticulously trimmed, just like the painting.
With such a delicate and outstanding face, it is not dedignible to go to other countries, and Shen Xizhen has a lot of determination.
After the two sides saluted, everyone took their seats.
"I just came back from Zhang Siguo the day before yesterday, and I heard that we won the battle, and I also heard that it was the new weapon invented by Miss Shen and the southeast wind of prayer played a big role, so I thought that it must be a very unusual woman, and when I saw it today, I really have the demeanor of a heroine among women!" Li Changsheng looked at Shen Xizhen and said, his eyes were full of admiration.
"The adult has won the award, and the little girl is ashamed. To tell you the truth, I met Master Li this time because I have some things to trust, and it is only suitable for you to do it. ”
"Oh? Tell us about it? Li Changsheng asked with curiosity on his face. He had already heard Uncle Jiang Ping talk about her, and knew that she was ambitious and had the world in mind, so now he was very interested in seeing her.
"Now that the Mao State has lost the war, they will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate, their national strength is stronger than ours, and this defeat will not hurt their roots, and they will surely recover their vitality soon, so we should hurry up to win over allies, win over the hearts of the people, and consolidate the interests of the central government, and the best way is to send people to the Tribute State, the Qiu State and the Zhang Si State to discuss cooperation with them and form an alliance of interests."
"Well, Miss Shen has a point, I also mentioned it in the court today, but the ministers have different opinions, so the emperor asked me to write a detailed plan for him, and he will make further plans at that time."
"Lord Li, please rest assured, I have my own way to silence those officials who oppose it." Hee Zhen said with a smile.
"I want to hear about it!" Li Changsheng sat solemnly and listened to his ears.
"The two adults also know that our country is rich in tea, silk and rice, the ball country is rich in wood and rosin, the Zhang Si country is rich in iron and pottery, and the tribute country is rich in copper and grapes, so that we can unite with these countries to form an economic circulation relationship, so that the goods between each other can flow smoothly and complement each other's scarcity. Then, we can send people to Qiuguo to learn how to make wood and soap, to Zhang Siguo to learn crafts and pottery, and to Gongguo to learn the most advanced wine-making techniques. At the same time, these countries can also send people to our country to learn the method of making silk. In this way, the four countries have solved the problems of domestic demand and internal friction, so that each other's industry, commerce, and agriculture can develop by leaps and bounds. Shen Xizhen said.
Li Changsheng and Uncle Jiang Ping nodded again and again when they heard this.
"There are two other purposes for doing this - to isolate the country, and then the country will not dare to act rashly against us. The other three countries have formed an invisible containment due to the flow of trade and talents with us, and they naturally do not dare to start a war lightly. Shen Xizhen added. At the same time, come up with a plan.
The proposal sets out in detail the terms of cooperation, the expected effects and how to proceed.
"Wonderful, in this way, not only the economic capacity of our own country has been strengthened, but also the economic capacity of the other three countries has been strengthened at the same time, and I am afraid that no one will refuse to benefit both." Li Changsheng looked at the plan and laughed.
He hadn't thought about this idea before, but the specific implementation method was far less detailed and feasible than Shen Xizhen's thoughts, because of this, every time he admonished, he attracted the opposition of many ministers, and now looking at Xizhen's very convincing plan, he immediately admired her.
"Without further ado, Lord Li can submit this plan tomorrow, and even if there are still people who oppose it, with your eloquence, then there is nothing to fear, you just have to fight for the opportunity to send an envoy, and the rest will be handed over to me to help deploy." Shen Xizhen said again.
"Well, then I'll go back and prepare now, Lord Jiang, Miss Shen, Li will leave first!" Li Changsheng solemnly put the plan into his pocket and saluted the two of them.
The two of them immediately got up to salute him and watched him leave.
"Zhen'er has such a strategy, it's a pity not to be a military advisor!" Uncle Jiang Ping said with a smile and personally added tea to Xizhen.
"Uncle Jiang has won the award, it's not too early, so I won't delay Uncle Jiang's rest, Xizhen will go and say hello to Sister Bai!"
"Go ahead, she's saying she has something delicious for you."
Looking at Shen Xizhen's departing figure, Uncle Jiang Ping secretly praised in his heart - no matter how big things this Shen girl encounters or how big an official she sees, she can not change her face and be calm and calm, she is really unusual!
