The day of the expedition to Yizhou is getting closer and closer, and the 70,000 soldiers secretly recruited by Yuan Qi from the three northern states have also arrived in Yanjing and quickly put into the tense preparations before the war. At the same time www.biquge.info Yuan Qi inspected the whole army for the last time, and mobilized the 150,000 troops who were about to go out and the soldiers who stayed behind before the war, so that nearly one million soldiers from top to bottom maintained high morale.

After that, Yuan Qi personally went to the prison to check the armor, weapons and other armaments made recently, Yuan Qi was pleased to find that under the training of Wang Yezi and Ma Jun, the craftsmanship of thousands of craftsmen in the prison became more and more superb, and the various military materials they produced were simply like a piece of handicraft, which was not only extremely practical, but also had high ornamental value. The red-clothed ballista and other large-scale weapons of destruction have also been put in place, and the sharp ones are lined up in a row, just waiting for the eve of the expedition to carry them, the only thing that is lacking is that the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers have not been produced in accordance with the quantity stipulated by Yuan Qi, five hundred large Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers have been manufactured, and 10,000 small ones, there are still about 2,000 that have not reached the standard. In this regard, Wang Yezi patted his chest and promised that he would definitely complete all the required materials before the army set off.

Yuan Qi understands Wang Yezi's mood very well, they can rush out so many war materials day and night, and they have worked very hard, so Yuan Qi did not forcibly stipulate that they must complete the task, but for Wang Yezi and others, this is their battlefield, as Yan Guo, or as a soldier, they must complete the established tasks on the battlefield, although their identity is a craftsman. They are not included in the battle sequence, but they are still like every warrior. It is their mission and their responsibility to do their best to complete their tasks.

After making preparations before the war, Yuan Qi temporarily put down everything and came to the backyard of Yanwang's Mansion to enjoy a short period of happiness with his family. Because the newly built palace has not yet been completed, Yuan Qi still lives in the Yanwang Mansion for the time being, in order to save costs. Instead of extravagance, the new palace was not relocated, but was expanded on the site of the old palace. As one of the capitals, Yanjing must build a palace for the emperor according to the regulations, so that the Son of Heaven can have a temporary residence when he travels. Now, Yuan is the regent. Looking at the military and political affairs of the whole country, although he did not ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven, in the eyes of everyone, there is not much difference between the regent and the Son of Heaven, just a subtle difference in name, so under the advice of the ministers of civil and military affairs. Yuan Qi had no choice but to expand the palace as his future residence.

When he came to the backyard of King Yan's Mansion, Yuan Qi saw Xiao Yuanshi who was babbling for the first time, and now Xiao Yuanshi is almost two years old, and it is the first time to speak in his life. He is curious about everything, whenever he sees something new. Always ask the people next to him loudly, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he can speak, however, after all, Xiao Yuanshi's words are not too neat, many times, he is talking, but the people who can listen to him can't understand what he is talking about, and he is often anxious to use his hand to make a gesture, wanting to express his meaning clearly.

At this moment, Yuan Qi saw such a situation, Xiao Yuan Shi pointed to a potted plant, and tried to ask what the name of this potted plant was, but it caused his three mothers to let out a burst of laughter like silver bells. Seeing this warm scene, Yuan Qi felt satisfied for no reason.

Yuan Qi walked over slowly, picked up Xiao Yuanshi, and said gently: "This is called Long Bai, which is one of the more cherished potted trees, and it cannot be seen outside. "At the same time that Xiao Yuanshi is gradually growing up, Yuanqi's age is also increasing, and now Yuanqi has finally realized his father Yuanying's extremely strict education methods for himself, because every father hopes to be able to hope that his son will be able to become a dragon and see that his son can one day achieve achievements far beyond his father's, so Yuanying will ask Yuanqi to do his best in everything. Although Yuan Qi will not use the method of teaching his children as strict as his father, this does not affect Yuan Qi's hope that Xiao Yuan Shi will be able to achieve a career in the future, even more vigorous than the achievements he has made in front of him.

Xiao Yuanshi laughed happily in Yuan Qi's arms, and then pointed to the pot of dragon cypress, and squeaked and said something. Yuan Qi showed a knowing smile and patiently answered his son's questions: "Because, this kind of potted plant is more precious, ordinary people can't afford it, and the dragon cypress is extremely difficult to grow, if it wasn't for your Aunt Qingfeng's careful care, it wouldn't grow so big." ”

Yuan Qi's words attracted the attention of Jinyi and the other three daughters, and Sun Shangxiang, who was the most uncontrollable, opened his mouth and asked, "Can you understand what Xiao Shi'er is saying?"

Yuan Qi turned his head to look at Sun Shangxiang, nodded with a smile, and said, "Maybe this is the father-son connection, I can feel the thoughts in his heart." Xiao Yuanshi also turned his head to look at Sun Shangxiang, then smiled evilly, and stuck it in Yuanqi's heart like a demonstration, as if he was telling his three mothers with actions: My father and I are the most iron!

Xiao Yuanshi's actions provoked the third girl to let out a burst of laughter like silver bells, Shangguan Mi said while laughing: "Look at this little thing, this is too unconscionable, the three of us sisters accompany him every day, but it is more intimate than his father who has not seen him once in half a year." ”

In the laughter of the third girl, Xiao Yuanshi raised his head, with a puzzled look on his little face, and continued to ask Yuanqi what in a vague tone. Jin Yi asked curiously, "Husband, what is Xiao Shi'er asking again?"

The smile on Yuan Qi's face gradually disappeared, he sighed in a low voice, and said to Cai Yan's third daughter: "He is asking, why can't people outside afford this kind of dragon cypress, you say, how should I answer him?" With Yuan Qi's words, the third girl also fell silent, and no one knew how to answer Yuan Shi's question. In this world, there is a class, some people are born in noble families, and some people are born in poor families, even if they work hard for a lifetime, I am afraid they are not as expensive as those newborn children of rich and noble families.

After being silent for a while, Yuan Qi slowly spoke: "Son, you are still young, and you still don't understand many things. In this world, not everyone is as lucky as you, born in a noble family, many people outside are worried about their daily meals, they are busy all day long, just to be able to fill the stomachs of themselves and their families, where is the extra money to grow this precious potted plant?"

Listening to Yuan Qi's Chunchun teaching, Xiao Yuanshi's eyes widened as if he understood or not, this question was indeed difficult for Xiao Yuanshi, who was less than two years old, to understand, but Xiao Yuanshi still slapped his little hand on his chest, and said a few words loudly to Yuan Qi that only Yuan Qi could understand.

For three days after that, Yuan Qi stayed in the backyard all the time, sharing this rare family joy with his parents, eldest brother Yuan He, three wives and little Yuan Shi. Uncle Yi and Fuyaozi also often come over to join in the fun...

Three days later, the appearance of an uninvited guest interrupted Yuan Qi's rare tranquility, this person, Yuan Qi had to see again, because Yuan Qi knew that he had a talent beyond this era in managing the economy, and if there was help from this person, Yuan Qi would be able to bring the entire economic level to a higher level......
