Yan Yan was really stumped by Li Cong.

She doesn't want to choose either of these two options, the former doesn't want to trap herself in the palace, who knows what will happen in three years, after all, she is a woman who has already married, and the first thing to consider must be the feeling that her small family is her husband; She only knew one of the two problems of the latter, and even then, she couldn't say it.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, she shook her head and said: "Uncle Hui, can you change the question, I am a boudoir woman, where can I have the opportunity to touch any gunpowder?" And this thing is not like farming or anything, it is recorded in the books, so let's do it, Uncle Emperor, I will give you an idea, you can find people who have been doing this for many years to practice more, they must have experience. ”

"No, just those two options." Li Cong made it clear that there was no negotiation.

Yan Yan snorted and scolded a few words, seeing that the other party really had no room to turn around, he had to speak: "Okay, but you have to give me time, I need to find a few masters in this area to ask for advice." ”

Old Man Yun and Old Lady Yun on the side saw that Yan Yan had chosen artillery, their eyes widened, and the two of them asked almost at the same time, "Child, how do you understand these things?" ”

"Back to my uncle and aunt, where do I understand this, this is not forced by the emperor's uncle, I can only go back to find a few people who understand and ask, and then ponder it myself, I don't want to be a palace magistrate, I am dragged down by these redundant things all day long, I just want to live a comfortable and idle life." Yan Yan was telling the truth.

The Queen Mother still knows some of Yan Yan's skills, and when she saw Yan Yan take over the job, she hurriedly took her hand and said: "Good boy, who doesn't want to live a comfortable and idle life, it's just that your emperor's uncle is in trouble now, you can help him, and when the war stops, you will have your benefits." ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is good, there are a few women like me, who moved out and lived alone not long after they got married, and now they are completely separated, and they no longer have to be governed by the Lu family, I know in my heart, without you, how can I be where I am today? So, let's not talk about those foreign words, come on, and see what delicious food I have prepared for you today. Yan Yan put the topic away.

She doesn't dare to be coquettish and sexual, although she is a relative, she is a monarch and a minister.

"Okay, okay, I'm really hungry after walking for half a day." The Queen Mother gave Yan Yan this face.

Seeing this, Dahe ordered people to drive the carriage over, everyone got into the carriage, about a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in a halfway mountainside, this is an apricot forest, but at this time the apricot leaves began to turn yellow, and a lot of fallen leaves were piled up on the ground, people stepped on it, occasionally there would be a creaking sound, occasionally there were one or two rabbits emerging from the middle of the leaves, and they disappeared in a flash, but there were also a few bold golden pheasants, seeing that they neither ran nor hidden, they still walked leisurely, sometimes pecked a few times into the ground.

Standing on the mountainside and looking into the distance, you can see people working everywhere, picking fruits, cutting sorghum, cutting grain, digging sweet potatoes, picking cotton, grazing cattle and sheep, and even in the sparkling waters in the distance, there is a canopy boat casting nets and fishing.

In short, a good harvest scene.

"It's a nice place." Li Cong nodded approvingly.

"No, it's easy to make people feel like they want to go into seclusion." Old Man Yun echoed.

"Yes, no wonder Yan'er said that she wanted to live a comfortable and idle life, and it seems that I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." Li Cong said with emotion.

"Don't, Uncle Emperor must not think so, you have the fate of Da Zhou on your shoulders, and you can only move forward with a heavy load." Yan Yan hurriedly laughed.

"Carrying the weight forward?" Li Cong chewed these four words, "Yan'er is right, it's not 'moving forward with weight', after sitting in this position, I understand how difficult this position is." Li Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"How else to say the Ninety-Five, it is naturally not a mortal to be able to sit in this position. However, it is difficult to have the advantage of difficulty, and it is difficult to show that the emperor always maintains a sense of awe, and always puts the safety of the people and the Great Zhou in his heart, which also shows that the emperor is a bright monarch. Yan Yan sincerely praised a few words.

Not to mention anything else, just because Li Cong can listen to Yan Yan's suggestion and vigorously reclaim wasteland to plant cotton and sweet potatoes, Yan Yan feels that he is not a good emperor, at least he always cares about the food and clothing of the people.

There is another point, if Da Zhou can really research out artillery and apply it to the battlefield, the return of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun should not be too long, and with this, Li Cong will be enough to leave a name in history.

Sure enough, Yan Yan's words aroused Li Cong's fighting spirit, and he reached out and patted Yan Yan's head, "Okay, just listen to our Yan'er, be a Ming Jun, not afraid of difficulties, do not remember the past, forge ahead, and strive to be a good Ming Jun who will leave a name in history, so you should enter the palace to be a female official for three years." ”

"Huh? Uncle Emperor, don't you play like this? Yan Yan's little face twisted again.

"Sister Yan'er, my father really values you, and the position of the palace commander is not something that ordinary people can sit in." Li Ji said with a smile on the side.

"Okay, let's talk about that later." The Queen Mother stopped talking.

She also doesn't approve of Yan Yan entering the palace to be a female official, there are many female officials in the palace, but these female officials are unmarried, most of them are from ordinary official eunuchs, enter the palace at the age of fifteen, start from the lowest female history, and a small part is selected from the princess and county lord's accompaniment, therefore, if a few people are favored by the emperor because of their talent or appearance, the emperor can directly accept her as a concubine.

But Yan Yan is a married woman, and she is still a mother, so she really stays in the palace all the year round, but she is afraid that she will be used by someone with a heart to spread something, and this consequence is definitely not what she wants to see.

Fortunately, Yan Yan didn't want to enter the palace herself, so the Queen Mother had to help her.

Yan Yan received the signal from the Queen Mother, and hurriedly led everyone up the steps and entered a courtyard, which Yan Yan was preparing to receive tourists, so the decoration inside was quite elegant. The heart flows with water, and the peach sound and apricot color forget the machine. ”

"Yes, the occasion." Old Man Yun read this couplet again and boasted.

"Uncle, there's something else in here." Yan Yan led the guests into the house, and there were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the hall, most of which were from the landscape series, and there were also poems with inscriptions on them, most of which were Lu You's works in the past few years.
