Originally, the two came to reconcile, but the matter didn't get to the point, and the two broke away. The things that followed were naturally not ideal, Wang Shu wanted to return early under the pretext of being in good health, so she took the first step. Mrs. Xue and Cai's second room stabbed each other on the way back to the city inexplicably. Both of them were fierce-tongued, testing each other, and when the carriage arrived at the door, they both held their breath.

didn't go to Xue Changfeng to explain, and the second wife of the Xue family turned around and went to her son's study.

I don't know how long I spoke, but that night, Second Mrs. Xue personally brought soup and snacks to visit Xue Jiyue's courtyard. The aunt and nephew were not very close, and Second Mrs. Xue said a few words of leniency and left. Since then, the eldest son of the second room of the Xue family has become intimate with Xue Jiyue.

Wang Shu pushed without a trace, and the Xue family's back house fought.

She spent half a month in her study, and finally wrote a paper on the importance of maritime trade to the country's economy. She is not good at literary language, she can't do literary articles, and she writes in the vernacular. But you can also feel the depth when you read it. Wang Shu mixed many theories of later economics into it, and in order to make the material more understandable, she gave many examples.

Lala wrote a small half a month and wrote nearly 10,000 words. She tried to keep it down, but she couldn't condense it.

On the day that the things were given to Xiao Yanxing, he was discussing with the important ministers in the Zichen Hall about the promotion of improved varieties of agricultural science. In order to popularize improved varieties more generally, it needs the cooperation of local bureaucrats and the assistance of policies. This is a huge and systematic work, and it is impossible to take one less step.

When Wang Shu's things were delivered, Xiao Yanxing was stunned: "...... Who wrote it? ”

"Concubine Niangniang." Mo Sui lowered his voice, but the people present still heard it, "Concubine Niangniang said that she hopes that His Royal Highness will consider it carefully. ”

Xiao Yanxing took it, and when he saw the dense words, his face suddenly changed slightly.

The ministers below seemed to be watching their noses and noses, but they had already pricked up their ears to listen. They already knew that the side concubine was favored, and they could enter the study casually. I didn't expect that what the side concubine wrote could be sent to Zichen Palace. For a while, my heart was turbulent, and I couldn't believe it.

Chapter 148

Stuff comes up, thick stacks.

Xiao Yanxing originally just took a look at it, and planned to wait for the matter at hand to be done. As a result, what Wang Shu wrote was too novel, and when she looked at the background of the abstract, she was instantly captured. Xiao Yanxing's expression changed, and he instantly sat up and studied carefully.

He reads very quickly, ten lines at a glance. Wang Shu's essay was about 10,000 words, and he read it quickly.

After reading it, there was silence for a long time.

The courtiers below looked at each other, and they were all very puzzled about what this concubine wrote to make His Highness look like this. When they were talking about each other, Xiao Yanxing ordered someone to hand Wang Shu's paper to everyone for observation.

After being circulated by the ministers for a long time, Xiao Yanxing's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

When everyone finished reading and looked up at Xiao Yanxing, their faces were already dumbfounded.

For thousands of years, life has been in the world, living in this world. I only know the water of the Yellow River, the end of the great river, Those who have read geography-related books, although they also know that the southernmost and easternmost side is the ocean. But this was the first time they had heard of maritime territorial rights. Including the economic theory mixed by Wang Shu in his paper, he used the most simple and easy-to-understand examples to explain the truth that the economy is the foundation and the economic foundation determines the superstructure. Starting from the agricultural foundation, the economic theory is inserted, and the strategic significance of navigation and foreign trade in foreign countries is emphasized, which deeply challenges their preconceived notions.

Maritime territorial rights cover maritime political rights, maritime economic rights, maritime security interests, marine scientific interests, and so on.

Wang Shu was afraid that there would be a difference in the times, and gave examples of the simplest and most practical things that various rights represented.

For example, coastal fishermen have the right to fish and animal husbandry to own marine resources, and the most intuitive is to fish for Dongzhu, all kinds of seafood, and dry salt on the seaside. The importance of maritime trade is even more intuitive, with the example of war telling the story of the strategic significance of coastal ports.

It seems that there are a lot of words, but because of the huge amount of knowledge involved, each word is important.

The entire Zichen Hall was silent, and everyone couldn't believe that this thing came from a woman's hand. The breadth of thinking and the depth of insight in his handwriting are unprecedented. There were many capable ministers of the DPRK and China, but not all of them understood economics. Daqing is not rich in nature, and the treasury has not been able to provide food and salary for the first few disaster reliefs. The imperial court only relied on blindly raising taxes to increase fiscal revenue, and it was always in a difficult situation.

Although this situation has improved a lot since Xiao Yanxing took charge. But they are all scholars under the teaching of agricultural thinking, and the inherent thinking has never been broken. Since ancient times, literati despised businessmen, and most of the officials present here lacked insights into the economy.

was suddenly clicked by Wang Shu like this, and there was a kind of confusion about what to do.

After a long time, someone hesitated to speak: "This ...... Is this really written by the side concubine? ”

Naturally, they had heard of Wang Shu, a merchant girl from a small place in the northwest, but she was quite loved by His Royal Highness. How favored Wang Shu is, as long as everyone in the capital has heard of it. But they had only heard of this beautiful woman, but they had never known that she was so knowledgeable and far-sighted. There were many well-educated people present, although they didn't know how to do business, they could see the weight of the content in the article.

Especially Xue Changfeng, the prince of Zhenguo, was a little stupid.

I want to say that this is not necessarily from the hand of a woman, but I am a little convinced when I see that the style is not written in traditional Chinese but in spoken language.

After confirming that this was Wang Shu's handwriting, they couldn't help but be a little tongue-induced: "Side concubine, side concubine is a great talent!" ”

Xiao Yanxing didn't know why he spontaneously had a sense of pride, which could not be contained. This is his sister-in-law.

A brief silence was followed by a lively discussion.

Expanding one's mind is a momentary thing, but the shock it gives is more and more new. In particular, the more you taste, the more you feel awakened. Some elderly ministers even held this paper and didn't want to let go.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Zichen Palace, he would have been eager to collect this paper privately.

The paper turned around and returned to Xiao Yanxing's hands. He only took a cursory look at it just now, and the shock in his heart was not small. After all, fundamentally speaking, Xiao Yanxing is actually a king educated under the agricultural thinking. Although he was naturally keenly aware of the importance of opening the sea, he had never had such a clear and profound concept.

At that moment, I put these pieces of paper in my hand and asked you what you think.

For a time, the Zichen Hall was very lively.

Wang Shu sent the paper out, turned around and got busy with other things. Her experimental base in Jiangnan is on the right track, and the promotion of agricultural science is also progressing steadily. Next, it is natural to play the role of the Wang Family Dart Bureau, and how to arrange logistics is also the top priority.

Today's transportation is not the convenience of later generations, but relies on human and animal power. The road is rugged and difficult, so to ensure transportation, it is natural to make arrangements in advance.

Everyone in the East Palace was busy with their own work, and Sui Nuanzhi was so frightened that her face turned white when she learned that her mother had actually checked Wang Shu in private. It is really a virtue of mother and daughter, and their temperaments are in the same line. The mother and daughter of the Sui family do not hit the south wall or look back, never trust others, only believe in themselves. But if it is just a collision with the south wall, what will happen after the collision, the two have different cognitions.

Sui Nuanzhi was very angry that her mother insisted on going her own way, and several times Xuan Sui's housewife entered the East Palace. Today, the housewife of the Sui family came, and her face was very strange when she came. Before Sui Nuanzhi could speak, she first asked Wang Shu about who she was.

"Mother asked what was going on?" Sui Nuanzhi was annoyed that her mother was self-righteous, but she still replied when she should have returned.

"You'll have to tell me about this."

Sui Nuanzhi was silent for a moment, and said with a cold face: "The skin is extremely beautiful, the temperament is indifferent but arrogant, and he doesn't go out much." ”

"That's all?" The brows of the Sui family's housewife were twisted so that they could strangle mosquitoes, "You have been in the backyard of Your Highness for a few years, and you know this about your opponents?" What kind of knowledge does the concubine have, what she is doing on weekdays, who people do she often associate with, and why does His Highness take a fancy to her, you haven't even checked? I can't find out these things, you don't even know why the side concubine is favored, how can you beat others?! ”

These words were like a knife cutting on Sui Nuanzhi's heart, cutting her heart and sobbing pain. She didn't check it, it's not that she can't find it!

Sui Nuanzhi twisted to the side and didn't speak, and the face of the Sui family's housewife became more and more ugly. She glared at her daughter and said that she had good qualifications and a clear mind. But the housewife of the Sui family felt that her daughter was too high by the family, so that she felt superior to others and looked down on everyone. They were all ridden to their heads, and they looked up, not knowing how to bow their heads and be humble.

"I checked a few people from the courtyard of the concubine a few days ago." Her own daughter, the housewife of the Sui family, is not easy to say too ugly. After teaching two lessons, seeing that she was taught, she got to the point: "It's not easy for other people to check, but the two older ones have found out." ”

As soon as he said this, Sui Nuanzhi instantly raised his head.

"One is Hua Shengying, the great Si Nong of the previous dynasty, who was a veteran of the Three Dynasties." The face of the Sui family's housewife was pale, "One is Mr. Mu Yiji." ”

As soon as these two names were spoken, the mother and daughter looked exactly the same. They couldn't figure out why these two people went in and out of Wang Shu's courtyard later. I can't figure out what this concubine is doing, is it possible that her knowledge and wisdom are really so high that the two old gentlemen are driven by her? Who is this concubine......

"But, isn't she a businessman in the Northwest......" This is something that Sui Nuanzhi found out over and over again, and she has always thought so.

The housewife of the Sui family hated that iron could not become steel, glared at Sui Nuanzhi again, and taught her a painful lesson: "When will you be able to change the problem on the top of your head with long eyes?" With your temperament, before you fight with others, you think people are inferior to yourself. Looking down on others from above, how can you know the whole picture of your opponent? How can we see what is true and what is false? ”

These words are no less than a slap in the face, which makes her face red.

Sui Nuanzhi wanted to say that she didn't underestimate people, but the people below her were useless, and she couldn't find anything when she checked it. But she didn't understand that it was because she looked down on Wang Shu from the bottom of her heart at the beginning that she had such prejudice.

"Mother, what is the concubine doing?" Sui Nuanzhi was ashamed and very concerned, and couldn't help but ask.

The housewife of the Sui family shook her head, and she couldn't find out at all. She was lucky to be able to find those two old men.

"It's not you yet!" The housewife of the Sui family was so disappointed in Sui Nuanzhi, "You live with her all day, and you should be able to see something with a little snack." As a result, Bai lived in an East Palace with others for a few years, and he didn't see anything useful at all. ”

Sui Nuanzhi couldn't say if she was bitter, she didn't want to check it, but Wang Shu was very strict with His Royal Highness. If she makes a slight move, His Highness may send her back to Bashu. The first few times of temptation had already annoyed His Highness, and she didn't dare to take any more risks. With a bitter taste in his mouth, Sui Nuanzhi asked his mother: "That mother is secretly watching for me." ”

Her own daughter, how can the housemother of the Sui family not care. No matter what, their family has no place at all.

"Let's have a snack!" The mother of the Sui family sighed and taught her experience earnestly: "Don't keep your eyes on those rules and decency that you don't have, those virtual things are not worth thinking too much about." You have to look beyond the surface and really know what His Highness values, so that you can be valuable. It doesn't matter why the concubine is favored, as long as you are recognized by His Royal Highness, you will have everything. ”

Sui Nuanzhi was taught, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. If her mother had come to explain this truth to her earlier, why would she compete with a side concubine. His Royal Highness has now hated her, and he won't give her a chance.

The mother and daughter talked behind closed doors in the house, and they did not disperse until it was dark.

Sui Nuanzhi and the others left, thinking of Hua Shengying and Mr. Mu, they felt as if their hearts were pinched by a big hand, and they were so breathless. She didn't want to guess that Wang Shu was knowledgeable and capable. Therefore, it is respected by His Royal Highness and a group of capable people under His Royal Highness. But now that the more she thinks about it, the more she thinks that it is, but she knows that Mr. Mu is a talented person. His temperament was quite arrogant, and when the abolished prince begged him to accept apprentices, he refused.

Sui Nuanzhi tossed and turned in the house and couldn't sleep, but Wang Shu slept soundly.

Xiao Yanxing came back late at night, sat on the edge of the bed and quietly stared at Wang Shu, who was already asleep on the bed. Reaching out and gently pinning the broken hair from the side of her cheek behind her ear, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

The paper I saw today, Xiao Yanxing's heart was shocked for a long time. Speaking of which, Wang Shu's knowledge and talent in all aspects shocked him not once or twice, Xiao Yanxing realized very clearly in his heart that Wang Shu was the eagle flying in the sky, not the canary encircled by him in the house. imprisoned her like this, it was his wanton behavior.

Based on the position of a country's monarch, Xiao Yanxing naturally hopes that Wang Shu can be at ease. The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps. In this way, it is the best for the country, the people, and Shu'er herself. But based on the position of an ordinary man, a husband, he loves her so much, he is reluctant.

"Shu'er...... Xiao Yanxing felt so deep and even a little painful for the first time, "If you don't understand anything, how good it would be." ”

If she was ordinary, he could be ruthless and hide her by his side.

Quietly staring at Wang Shu until midnight, Xiao Yanxing got up and went to the inner room to freshen up.

The sound of the clothes rubbing was far away, and under the sleeping Wang Shu's eyelids, the eyeballs slowly rolled a few times. She didn't open her eyes, but she woke up the moment she kissed her. Wang Shu can probably understand the struggle in his heart, and it is a difficult trade-off. After all, Xiao Yanxing is a monarch who serves the country and the people, and later achieved a hegemony that will be successful for thousands of years. He'll make a choice in the end.

There was a sound of dripping water in the bathroom, and Wang Shu turned over and faced in. The corners of my eyes are still moist.

Like Xiao Yanxing?

Of course I do.

The only person she seriously liked in her life, she compromised several times for him.

She agreed to the ridiculous five-year appointment with her eyes closed, and she even had three children with him, these things are piled up, but she wants to be with him for a longer time. But there are some things that can't be given up after all, her beliefs, her worldview, and the world she has lived in have taught her life principles and knowledge beyond the times, which shaped Wang Shu. She couldn't give up and betray.

She loved him and loved herself even more.

If one day, she is hysterical in order to compete for that bit of serious status, and has a falling out with a group of women who don't have much to do, Wang Shu will feel that she has no value for several lifetimes. She can love him very much, but she doesn't need to watch over him forever.

I don't know when Xiao Yanxing finished washing, walked back slowly, and got on the couch.

Stretched out his arm and took Wang Shu into his arms. Wang Shu rolled into his arms with a grunt, her face buried in his chest. Xiao Yanxing lowered his head and kissed her hair, hugging her tightly. Didn't let go all night.

The matter of opening the sea was officially put on the agenda.

Xiao Yanxing is a very efficient monarch, and he is never confused after judging that anything is valuable.

But everything needs a process, and there is no hurry. On the contrary, the emperor, who had been ill for a long time, heard about this and ordered someone to go to Zichen Hall to take Wang Shu's paper. The emperor's health is now deteriorating, and he has already had the decadence of his twilight years. He leaned back on the soft couch by the window and read Wang Shu's paper word by word. After reading it, there was a burst of laughter again.

His laughter grew from small to large, spreading from one room to the entire rooftop. Laughing and coughing, laughing out of breath. scared the palace maids in Daming Palace into two trembling forces, for fear that he would have a bad temper again, so he pulled people out and cut them down.

It took a long time for the emperor to calm down under the appeasement of the palace maids.

The emperor put the paper aside, and suddenly sighed: "Sure enough, I gave birth to a son, Xiao's father." ”

He liked talented women, and so did his son. Even his son has a stronger eye on him than he likes.

The emperor's face was gloomy, the same preferences, different endings.

And those whom he loved hated him so much that he did not see him for the rest of his life. He Xiao Yanxing was lucky, guarding a woman and giving birth to three children in a row. Now that the woman is in his backyard, it seems that the son is much smarter than Lao Tzu.

"Heh, shit luck!" The emperor was envious and jealous, and the twist in his heart was like a vine that made him breathless.

"Let's see how long he can laugh!"

The smarter the woman, the less she will be settled, and he wants to see how long Xiao Yanxing can stay.

I don't know how long I can stay, Wang Shu arranged for many people to go to Lingnan after that. If so, Wang Shu also hopes to go to Lingnan in person, take a look at the seaside, and eat oysters once.

Speaking of which, she still has the recipe for oyster sauce in her head. She once thought that one day the Wang family would fall. She went to Lingnan to catch oysters and boil oyster sauce to sell. Maybe it can make a comeback.
