"Daddy." Zhao Qian's son shouted and pounced to protect Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian bent down to pick up his son, and took a few steps forward to protect his daughter who ran over in small steps. Zhao Qian's wife came over with her third baby in her arms, and when she watched her husband pick up the child, her eyes were a little red.

According to his mother's report, Zhao Qian should coax and scold the babies, and the boss also tried to bump into it, and was slapped twice on the buttocks, and he was also aggrieved and honest.

In the evening, Zhao Qian and his wife were talking. Hearing Zhao Qian say that he had to be busy for a while, his wife said aggrievedly: "I said don't be upset, I don't want you to go." ”

Zhao Qian didn't know what to say. This reminded him that his mother had said something similar when he was a child, and Zhao Qian, who was young at the time, looked at his mother and cried, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. When these two scenes overlapped in his mind, Zhao Qian was even more uncomfortable. He wanted to be with his family, but he chose his father as a role model, and the likelihood of this becoming very low. For as long as Zhao Qian can remember, his father has often been away from home. The family really lived together after Dad fought the Battle of the Yellow River and strategically suppressed the Mongols. Within a few years of this kind of day, Zhao Qian went to serve as a soldier under his father's order.

After experiencing this kind of suffering, Zhao Qian really couldn't bear it. The word forbearance has a knife in his heart, and in addition to patience, Zhao Qian can only hold his wife in his arms and remain silent.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qian finished breakfast. The son saw that his father did not continue to be angry, and he got a hug from his father before going to school, and he left very happily. Zhao Qian couldn't help but say to his wife: "Children, let them know that they will be punished for doing something wrong." But it can't be endless......"

"I've heard from my teacher!" Zhao Qian's wife replied dissatisfiedly: "But you can't do it completely." Otherwise, they think that two slaps are over. It's not right to think that what they're doing is just two slaps in the face. ”

“…… Good. I'm talking too much. Zhao Qian replied and set off in a gloomy manner.

Before meeting his father, Zhao Qian had already prepared his mental armament. This is the first time he has come up with a comprehensive plan, and there is certainly much to be discussed. Sitting down in front of his father, Zhao Qian couldn't help but straighten his waist. Then I heard my dad comment, "There are a lot of problems in the plan. The biggest problem is that you don't understand the operation model of the imperial court, probably because you see how I give orders, and you learn how to make plans. ”

"What aspects of the report have been overdone?" Zhao Qian asked.

"In order for this project to be successful, you have made money, personnel, and organizational arrangements. I ask you, why do you have to make this project successful? ”

“…… If the plan is successful, the locust plague can be eradicated. In addition, it is possible to establish an effective agricultural management system. ”

"You didn't do it, how do you know it works? What's more, it's not the most critical either. The most important thing is that this kind of plan, which thinks that a single department or a single project is the highest priority, whether he is right or not, whether he succeeds or not, cannot be passed. ”

Listening to his father's questioning, Zhao Qian was stunned. After a completely confused consideration, Zhao Qian hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

"I ask you, guess why I didn't give you money back then?"

“…… I don't know. ”

"And what's your wife's biggest expense right now?"

“…… Educate. Educate yourself. ”

"Why didn't she do it before?"

“…… Because there is no money. ”

"Do you understand?"

“…… Don't understand. Squeezing out this sentence, Zhao Qian felt that he couldn't find the key, but he seemed to have grasped something.

Zhao Jiaren did not sell the guanzi, and directly pointed out the key to the problem, "From the country to your own home, the top priority is fiscal policy." How much money you have, how much you can do, how much cooking you can in a pot. I told you that the collapse of any dynasty and organization begins with a financial collapse. You have been in the army now, if the army dares not pay your salary for two months, what will become of the army? At least it has won people's hearts, and there are many rumors. If salaries are not paid for half a year, what will happen to the troops? Can you still be pulled out to fight? Any plan that thinks it is going to be the top priority is already wrong. There is no way to discuss it anymore. ”

Zhao Qian felt that he understood, but he couldn't help but feel a strong grievance in his heart. Then I heard my father ask, "Are you wronged?" ”

Lowering his head, Zhao Qian didn't want to talk to his father.

"If you feel wronged, it means that you are just young and there is still room for growth. If you don't even have grievances, either you understand, or you're so old that you never have a chance to understand. ”

Dad's words will always make Zhao Qian unable to resist, but it will also make Zhao Qian have emotions that are difficult to digest in a short time. This time, too, the good plan was completely rejected in the first place. Zhao Qian couldn't accept it. He asked the question with some dissatisfaction, "What if a large-scale locust plague breaks out in the Central Plains?" ”

"When a locust plague broke out in the Central Plains, rescue was carried out in the Tongji Canal, the new Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the shipping center city. The grain depots in these areas may be emptied, but they will be refilled with grain from the areas south of the Huai River in an expected time. The grain in the areas south of the Huai River will be supplemented by grain from the more southern areas. That is, the grain in Guangzhou has been emptied, and there is also food replenishment from Siam, Luzon, Java, and even Sinhala and Tianzhu. None of this is a problem. ”

Hearing this cold answer, Zhao Qian raised his head and asked, "Then these rescues don't cost money?" ”

"When the existing system of our Great Song Dynasty is put into operation, we will be able to solve the problem of locust plague. The money to operate these systems has already been prepared, and the disaster prevention funds are used for this. You can certainly say that this is a waste. But from a financial point of view, the purpose of this money is to solve all kinds of problems that may be encountered. However, any plan that puts its own departments and projects above fiscal policy is harmful. None of them are acceptable. Because! There is not only one department in the world, when all departments do this, the national finances will be finished immediately! ”

After coldly talking about the financial discipline of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren looked at his son with a solemn face. Without waiting for Zhao Qian to come up with any more rebuttals, Zhao Jiaren continued: "Zhao Qian, before I give you the title of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, you are still a child in my eyes. When you add it, you're an adult. For an adult, I naturally look at it by the standards of an adult. ”

Zhao Qian was stunned. If Daddy's gaze made him feel extremely pressured, the words that followed made Zhao Qian forget about Daddy's pressure, and the whole person was immersed in an indescribable feeling.

Sad, joyful, ashamed, proud, frustrated, uplifted. Looking at the antagonism, and a completely burst of mood, Zhao Qian no longer knew how to maintain the least composure. Becoming an adult in the eyes of Daddy means that you can finally get one step closer to Daddy. It's just that the span of this step is completely beyond Zhao Qian's imagination. Financial discipline, state operation, these things are too far away from the previous Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian has also studied hard, but he has never been able to realize it as suddenly as he does today.

After all kinds of feelings, Zhao Qian finally said: "Dad, have you finished reading my plan?" ”

"I'm done. But I can't pass the first one, and I can't discuss the rest with you. You go back and revise it, and then hand it in and I'll take a look. After Zhao Jiaren finished speaking, he asked Zhao Qian to go back to work.

After Zhao Qian left, Qin Yuzhen walked out from the door next to the study. Her face was full of distress, and Queen Qin herself didn't know whether she should feel sorry for her son or her husband. Sitting in Zhao Qian's position, Qin Yuzhen could only sigh: "Maybe I spoiled Da Lang too much before......"

"You're thinking too much." Maybe it's because the state of mind when he talked to his son just now is still there, Zhao Jiaren's words are still reasonable, "Auntie is a little smart, and it's better for Dalang to understand it now than if he learns it." Da Lang is on the right path, and you teach him very well. ”

Hearing her husband say this, Qin Yuzhen was a little frightened. was mentioned by her husband about her daughter like this, Qin Yuzhen faintly felt uncomfortable. Since she didn't like this feeling, Qin Yuzhen didn't mention her daughter, and continued: "San Lang, according to the rules, after the imperial court appoints the prince, the palace will be opened, and the prince will be arranged with entourage officials. You don't want to do it. ”

"If you do this, the good children will be spoiled by those people. Of course I wouldn't. Zhao Jiaren decisively vetoed this possibility. Speaking of this, Zhao Jiaren was even more unhappy in his heart, and he said coldly: "Now many people don't know that the times have changed, and they don't know that the times are going to change. I still want to follow the old rules, and continue to climb the dragon and the phoenix after the world is peaceful, these people I really want Da Lang to deal with, but I am only afraid of how long I can be healthy. I can't help it. ”

Qin Yuzhen only felt that she was really a little frightened. She loved her husband very much because she felt a place in life with him. Because of this, she is very happy to be the only woman who can truly comfort her husband and the only person who can give him warmth. After so many years of husband and wife, she also knows what is hidden in her husband's heart. It's not something that can be described as a beast, but it's probably a real dragon. It can catch the moon in nine days, and it can catch turtles in the five oceans. Anything that stands in front of Zhao Jiaren will be shattered, no matter what it is.

At the age of 55, Qin Yuzhen no longer has the romantic fantasy of a so-called girl. In fact, Qin Yuzhen herself doubted whether she had such romantic fantasies in her girlhood. If there is, it is only for the family you have. When she was lucky enough to own this home, she saw things differently. Qin Yuzhen just didn't say it a long time ago, she was very suspicious, and even a little sure, her husband had already calculated the destruction of the Mongol invasion, otherwise, with Zhao Jiaren's personality, how could he be subservient to Jia Nidao?

Even if he was subservient to Jia Nidao, Zhao Jiaren was not incapable of defeating the Mongol army before the surrender of Lin'an General occurred. In hindsight, Zhao Jiaren was consciously shrinking in those years, constantly accumulating strength. Only then did he easily repel the Mongol army and recapture Lin'an after the surrender of Lin'an. Seize power, and finally become the supreme in the world.

It has been recorded countless times in the history books that such a monarch will inevitably make the ministers accumulate corpses. This is an unavoidable fate. Hearing what Zhao Jiaren had just said inadvertently, Qin Yuzhen intuitively felt that that day seemed to be near.

But as the lord of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, as the only wife of the lord of Zhongxing in China. Qin Yuzhen didn't say anything. She just stood up quietly and left Zhao Jiaren's study. Apart from supporting her husband, Qin Yuzhen felt that she had no other choice. She didn't think about making any other choice.

After Zhao Jiaren continued to process the documents, he looked at his watch and went to the reception room. Soon, the guards came in to report that Wen Tianxiang was coming. I looked at my watch, and sure enough, it was before the appointed time. Zhao Jiaren asked Wen Tianxiang to come in. He couldn't help but think of his son Zhao Qian, this baby still doesn't understand it very well, or it still can't be punctual. Although punctuality for the sake of punctuality is a sign of pedantic. At that time, it was said that Jiang Guangtou's life in Chongqing was very regular, and before he took a nap, he had to stop any official business and let the bald head go to bed on time before speaking. But this kind of superficial effort is actually ridiculous, because it is a bald head asking others to be punctual with him as the center.

On the other hand, that person is simply terrible at work, I heard that when he wrote "On Protracted War", he did not sleep, and when he remembered that he might have gone to sleep, he had been sleepless for dozens of hours. The so-called punctuality is to keep the time agreed with others when you go to meet others. Just like Wen Tianxiang and those outstanding talents. Zhao Qian still couldn't help but do whatever he wanted, he was still young.

Just as he was thinking, Wen Tianxiang came in. didn't let Wen Tianxiang see the salute, Zhao Jiaren asked Wen Tianxiang to sit down, and asked: "Rui Song, I asked you last time, why do you want to follow me, have you thought of the answer?" ”

Wen Tianxiang showed a little embarrassed expression, although he only caught a small white strip when he fished last time, Wen Tianxiang still did not answer Zhao Jiaren's question, why would a person like Wen Tianxiang choose to follow Zhao Jiaren. is a free and easy person like Wen Tianxiang, and this question is not so easy to say.

After thinking about it, Wen Tianxiang felt that he still had to say. can only say freely: "Official, I was admitted to the Jinshi back then, just to be an official." It's just that the things that happened at that time were in power. After that, Du Zong became the dynasty, which actually had nothing to do with my previous heart. Seeing the Faculty of Justice, I don't think there's anything wrong with not being an official. But I follow the official family because the official family can fulfill my wishes. That's why I must follow the official family. ”

is about to be 50 years old, and if he tells the truth, Wen Tianxiang still feels a little weak. He thought he had lived and understood all these years, but now he realizes that he really understands, but it is not easy.

"In that case, I want to ask you, do you think the regulations proposed by Zhao Qian meet your expectations?" Zhao Jiaren asked bluntly.
