The matter was settled in his heart, but Yun Xi did not express his opinion immediately, but let Wen Yuan continue to say his thoughts. He continued: "The son heard from the guards that when his father talked to the workers in the steel factory, many of the workers' families came to work in the workshop because they owed a lot of money, and the ordinary people really had a hard time, and the family's savings would be spent in a turmoil, and the court should treat them better. When people have difficulties in their families, they should reduce their taxes. ”

He didn't know that the main reason was that the profits were very high, and the harvest left over from a year's farm work was not enough to repay the profits, so they had to work in the factories, but even if they only knew that these people came to work in the factories because they owed money, they felt that the peasants' lives were too miserable, and they felt pity.

After Wen Yuan finished his thoughts, Yun Xi said to him: "Wen Yuan, what Mr. Luan said has some truth, but it is not complete. If Xiu Dezheng can win the battle, then why was Song Hui defeated by the Jin State first, and then destroyed by the Meng Yuan? Could it be that they treated the people of the Central Plains better than the Song Kingdom? "There are arguments that can be argued, but it is better to give an example of any reason.

"Father, son has not learned this yet. Mr. Luan only briefly talked about it when he was teaching the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names". Wen Yuan suddenly said with a wrinkled face.

"Father forgot, hearing you say so much, he thought you had already taught your lesson so far. You ask Luan Wei tomorrow about these words and ask him what he thinks. Yun Xi said.

"Yes, father." Fumigaki respectfully agreed.

"In addition, there is a biased view of artisans." Yun Xi continued: "Although the four people of Shinong Industry and Commerce are divided into four people, they all serve the imperial court, but the scholars serve the imperial court more, and the merchants work harder for the imperial court. ”

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, if farmers do not farm for a year, the people will be hungry for a year; But the work is also very important, the needles and threads used by people are sharpened by blacksmiths, the silk clothes you wear are woven by silksmiths, and the coal used for heating in winter is miners who work hard from the mountains. ”

"Yes, father." Wen Yuan said again.

"It is of course 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 really benefit." Yun Xi then gave an example: "In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi changed the law and implemented the conscription law, which looked very good, but in the end it made the people's resentment boil. Therefore, it cannot be disposed of as a tax exemption alone. ”

Wen Yuan didn't know what Wang Anshi's change was, let alone what the recruitment law was, and was about to ask, Xi Yao said with a smile: "Husband, Yuan'er, what your father and son said is happy, but the concubine and Min'er are drowsy, and the concubine is going to be jealous of Wenyuan." ”

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about it." "Talking about everyday things.

After a while, when she finished eating, Min'er pestered Yunxi to ask him to play with her, and Xiyao smiled: "Siqi came from home this morning, didn't he bring a new set of toys?" You go and ask Siqi to teach you to play with new toys, and when you learn it, then you can 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, and it is very different from the toys we used to play, and I also learned it after playing for a long time." Come, I'll teach you. ”

When Min'er heard this, she stopped pestering Yunxi and said to Siqi: "Let's go, I want to play with new toys." He said to Yun Xi again: "Dad, when my daughter learns, my father must play with my daughter." ”

"Well, Dad must be playing with Min'er." Yun Hee replied with a smile.

Min'er then pulled Siqi back to her dormitory, and Xianqin hurriedly followed. Wenyuan and Wenqi also bowed and retreated.

Yun Xi watched them leave this palace, reached out and put his arm around Xi Yao's waist, and walked towards her dormitory. Several little palace maids wanted to follow, Zhiyi stretched out his hand to stop, they stopped with surprise on their faces, Zhiyi winked at them, and then followed the two of them more than a dozen steps away.

"Is Xiyi about to give birth?" Yun Xi said.

"The Imperial Doctor and the most experienced midwives all said that it was about the tenth day of the first month of the leap month."

"I have to let the imperial doctor and the midwife be prepared, and I won't let them go home for the next few days, and they will wait in the palace at any time. Wait for Xi Yi to give birth to them and reward them again. "Husband, the concubine has already been prepared."

"You have long been familiar with these things in the past few years, and I just told you in vain."

"It's not in vain, whether it's a concubine or a sister, they will be very happy when they hear this." Xi Yao smiled.

Yun Xi also laughed and said a few jokes, but then said: "You scolded Min'er before the meal just now, and it is the first time that my husband has seen you scold a child like this, it turns out that you treat Min'er like this on weekdays, no wonder Min'er is so afraid of you." ”

"Husband, you are so fond of Min'er, if the concubine doesn't care about it, she should be lawless. It's just that there is a concubine who is in charge like this, she is still naughty all day long, if the concubine doesn't care anymore, the top of Kunning Palace should be overturned. Xi Yao half complained.

"I didn't say that you didn't do it right, but when my husband saw Min'er like this in front of you, I always felt, I always felt, and I didn't know what to say."

"Husband, Min'er is also the daughter of the concubine, and the concubine is also for her good. The girl's family is not good to be so naughty all day long. ”

"My husband also knows, but it's always father and daughter."

They said a few more things about Min'er, and Yun Xi suddenly said, "What do you talk about when you are about Xin Wenyuan and Wenqi when they are enlightened?" ”

Hearing this, Xi Yao's heart tightened, and she immediately said: "Husband, the concubine is negligent in caring for Wenyuan and Wenqi, please punish your husband." ”

"You can't be blamed either. The husband also knows that you take care of the palace affairs on weekdays, and you are also very busy all day long, and you are not far from the husband in the previous dynasty. It's just that this gentleman who enlightened them, when I first recruited him into the palace a few years ago, I looked fine, but when I heard it today, why is it so unseemly! ”

"Although Wenyuan is the crown prince, he is only six years old after all, what to teach him these things for?" Yun Xi said very dissatisfied. He also wanted to instill in Wenyuan what he wanted to teach Wenyuan, but he was first instilled with these messy things by Luan Wei, how can this work!

"Actually, it's just a matter of teaching deeper. The problem is that the way to govern the country is not how capable the emperor is, but the most important thing is the balance, the balance between the civil and military, the balance between the military generals and the civil officials, and the balance between the prefect and the political envoys, so that the country can be forever. Fujun is not saying that Wenyuan has no ability, but those who can be high-ranking officials are human spirits, no matter how smart Wenyuan is, how can a person deal with so many human essences, I passed their way, but fortunately, I found out later. ”

"Mr. Luan taught Wenyuan like this, and the husband was very afraid that he would be biased towards civil officials in the future, how could this work!"

"The concubine came forward to dismiss Mr. Luan." Xi Yao said immediately.

"It's not necessary, it will hurt your reputation. And he finally taught the children for a few years, and he couldn't be so ruthless. Fortunately, the New Year is coming soon, and he will take a few days off early this year, and when the Nian Fujun is over, he will appoint him to a foreign official position, and send him away from afar. Although Yun Xi is very disgusted with Luan Wei now, it is not good to do too much ruthlessness at this point, and decided to send him to other places as an official.

And Yun Xi has decided to appoint him to an official position that is not very important, but has a lot of things. He paid attention to Luan Wei a few years ago, and felt that he had no ability to manage government, and most of them would not be able to do such an official position, and then he could justifiably demote or dismiss him and return to his hometown.

"Also, martial arts must be taken seriously, and from tomorrow morning, practice martial arts for half an hour, and then go to study." Yun Xi said again.

"Hmm." Xi Yao immediately agreed.

"Wenyuan will be seven years old next year, and he will go to the Royal Academy to study. You have to take care of him more, Wenyuan is still young after all, so he shouldn't be allowed to take classes. ”

"He is the crown prince, there must be many people in the school who want to make friends with him, you pay attention, don't let those with bad conduct have more contact with Wenyuan. He is still young, and his ability to distinguish between right and wrong is weak, and it will not be good if he learns badly. Although he will have to come into contact with such a people in the future, he will wait a few years, and let him associate with people of good character for now. For example, if a person like Uncle Twenty-five approaches Wenyuan with his face licked, you don't have to be polite, ask him to enter the palace and scold him. ”

"It's not possible to be scheming. Although Gao Xu seems to be a pure martial artist on the surface, his scheming is very deep, no worse than the fourth uncle, and now he should not let Wenyuan make friends with such a person. ”

"But people with good conduct should also pay attention, not all people who read dead books and read dead books, but also people who like martial arts, and even those who like 'small paths'. Can't be biased. ”

Xi Yao listened quietly at first, nodding from time to time; But when he heard it, he felt that it was wrong, and while Yun Xi finished speaking, he gasped for breath and said, "Husband, why did the husband say these things to his concubines?" ”

"Husband won't hide it from you, according to the secret report from the northwest, Samarkand has swept away the surrounding small countries, and it is very likely that he will send troops to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty next year."

"If it is Timur's eastern crusade, the husband must go to the northwest, not only to supervise the war, but also if there is anything that they are difficult to decide, the husband is close to it."

"The husband is afraid that when the clear news comes, the palace and the outside will be busy and forget about it, so I will tell you now."

"Husband, you, the concubine doesn't want you to go to the northwest." Xi Yao suddenly looked like an ordinary wife, leaned sideways into Yun Xi's arms and said: "Husband, from our twenty-eight years of marriage, it will be less than ten years to next year, and there are five years when my husband leaves Beijing and is not by the side of the concubines. ”

"It's not hard to be a concubine. When she knew that she was going to marry into the royal family as a concubine, she knew that the royal family was different from ordinary people, and it must be very hard. ”

"The concubine is every time her husband is not in the capital, she feels empty in her heart, and she has no energy all day. Concubine ......" Xi Yao babbled a lot.

Yun Xi listened to her quietly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Fujun also knows that it is not easy for you to support alone when Fujun is not in the capital, but next year's battle for Samarkand is very important, much more important than last year's battle with Annan, and Fujun must go to the northwest to take charge." "The battle against Samarkand is not just a matter of war, the things to be dealt with after the war are more important than the war, he has no way to make a quick decision in the capital, he must go to the northwest front.

Xi Yao listened to his tone and knew that Yun Xi had made up his mind and would not come, so he could only wipe the corners of his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Since the husband is going, there must be a reason to go, and the concubine is in the capital to take care of the husband's house." ”

"After this battle is over next year, there will be nothing that requires the husband to go out of Beijing, and the husband will be able to stay in the capital to accompany you in the future." Yun Xi said.

"Hmm." Xi Yao agreed.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Yunxi went down to the court, went back quietly, and saw that Wenyuan was boxing, and he didn't meet with others, so he left Kunning Palace and went to Qianqing Palace to deal with the government.

As he was walking, Yoon-hee remembered the kitchen he had seen during his inspection of the steel mill yesterday, and turned to the imperial dining room. It's not that he's worried about corruption by the chef in the palace, if he's worried about corruption, it's useless to go to the imperial dining room, so he should check the accounts. He was mainly concerned about the hygiene of the imperial dining room. He was in the south in the second half of last year, and he didn't care about it after returning to Beijing this year, and he was very afraid that the living situation of the imperial dining room would slip, so he had to inspect it himself.

After a while, when he came to the imperial dining room, the little eunuch pushed the door and walked in and shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" The chef, who was busy with his work, put down his belongings as quickly as he could, turned his head, knelt down in the direction of the gate, and shouted three long live.

"The hand that just chopped vegetables on the board is now pressed on the ground again, you must wash your hands before cutting vegetables and meat again, not only wash your hands, but also wash your hands carefully, and wash your hands with your pancreas." Yun Xi said immediately.

"Your Majesty, the minions must urge them to wash their hands. Since His Majesty's strict requirements for hygiene, the minister and the previous head chef have strictly followed the regulations set by His Majesty and managed the imperial dining room. At this time, Fan Hongjin, the person in charge here, said.

But Yoon-hee frowned. "You're not a eunuch, why do you call yourself a minion? Whether it is a self-proclaimed small, a minister, or even a self-proclaimed grass people, why should you call yourself a slave? ”

Fan Hongjin patted the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and while telling himself to pay attention, he immediately said: "The minister lost his words for a while, please forgive your majesty." ”

"That's it, I won't punish you this time, but don't lose your word in the future." Yun Xi said this, and without waiting for him to thank him, he walked around the imperial dining room.
