The Buddhist lady travels through ancient times to live a leisurely life

In the afternoon, Mu Sheng accompanied Le Zai to practice martial arts at home, and Yun Xi watched them play beside them. To be honest, Mu Sheng is quite suitable to take care of children.

Although Lezi was born with supernatural powers, he was after all a three-year-old kid. If a real fight broke out, he would be no match for his father.

Mu Sheng understood his son well and knew that he needed encouragement, so he pretended to have tried his best but still lost. His loss was very natural, which made the child very happy. He pulled him to practice non-stop and he couldn't stop.

Every time he wanted to stop and stay with Yun Xi for a while, before he could even have a cup of tea, he would be pulled away by Le Zi to continue practicing.

Mu Sheng told him: "Practice it yourself."

"No, I need Daddy to accompany me."

"Daddy is tired and needs to rest for a while."

"Daddy is not tired, you can continue practicing."

Mu Sheng: “…”

After a few words, he was pulled away by the child.

And so on and on.

Parents usually cannot resist the nagging of their children.

They can make their parents lose their bottom line and obey them in everything by simply acting like a spoiled brat, as long as it is not a matter of principle.

Mu Sheng and Yun Xi sighed: "Where does he get so much energy!"

"Children don't know how to get tired. When he grows up, he might start to be lazy."

Lezi laid on her knees and hummed: "Zizi will never be lazy."

"Okay, okay, you won't. It was Mom who said the wrong thing."

The family of three was playing in the yard. The maids were packing things to take with them when going out. Chunyu made a list for Yunxi to review.

There was no illiterate maid under her, all of them had undergone "literacy training". Senior maids such as Chunyu had even received special training to learn how to read and write, and how to keep and do accounts. They learned whatever knowledge a head shopkeeper needed. If they found that they did not understand something, they could tell Yunxi, and Yunxi would hire teachers to give them extra lessons.

As long as they are willing to learn and make progress, Yun Xi is willing to teach them.

Sometimes she would take time out to give them guidance and improve their ability to do things.

Yun Xi felt that if her maids were placed in other families, if they had a little bit of bad intentions, they would most likely take charge of the housework and make the mistress of the house turn a blind eye.

The maids and servants who actually do the work play a very important role in the home.

It is just like after the implementation of the imperial examination system, scholars who passed the examinations among thousands became officials, but in reality, the ones who truly controlled the officialdom were the clerks.

This was true even during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the imperial examination system was already well established. Officials who actually came from the imperial examination system probably accounted for less than 10%. If "capable of being in politics" was used as an indicator, their influence on public affairs at the time was probably less than 5%.

Because those who passed the imperial examination may have literary talent and talent, but they may not have the ability to implement practical administration. When they enter officialdom, they are surrounded by a group of counselors, advisers, and staff, who play a much greater role than they themselves.

But even so, the imperial examination system was still necessary because it linked knowledge, power and money together.

Yun Xi still planned to bring up this matter at the right time and in the right way.

Her son should be able to catch up with the parallel implementation of the imperial examination system and the recommendation system. It would be best if he could pass the examination. If he fails, he can still rely on recommendation to become an official. The premise is that if he wants to become an official. If he just wants to be a rich and idle person, Yun Xi has no objection.

While watching her husband and son playing, she was thinking about wild things.

In the evening, the father and son finally calmed down, drank some water, and rested for a while. Then Mu Sheng took Lezi to take a bath.

Le Zai didn't like to be bathed by the maids. He would either bathe with Yun Xi or Mu Sheng. Since he was three years old, this job was completely taken over by Mu Sheng. When he was older, he should be able to bathe himself.

After Mu Jinyan came back from the academy, he learned that his father had already arranged a holiday and he would be able to go out with his mother and brother tomorrow. He was immediately extremely envious.

Yun Xi said to him, "Your father can only take annual leave once a year, but you have two long vacations a year. When you have a vacation in the summer, let's go out and play together without him. In the winter, we can also go to the farm together. If it snows, it will definitely be more beautiful than the city."

"it is good."

Mu Jinyan agreed with a smile. Since he entered the academy, he had less time to play with his mother, but he was still looking forward to it.

This summer, I must go out and play with my mother and brother.

That night, Yun Xi and Mu Sheng took Mu Jinyan and Le Zai to the old lady's courtyard. They told the old lady and the old general that they would be going out the next day, and asked her to take good care of Mu Jinyan.

In fact, Mu Jinyan, who is over eight years old, has already mastered the rules. Facing Yun Xi and Mu Sheng, he is still a child, but when he faces servants alone, he has already mastered the means of controlling his subordinates by combining kindness with severity.

He manages his own courtyard very well.

He trusts his employees, but he will not let go completely and has overall control over the yard.

To some extent, Yun Xi felt that he and Le Zai, worthy of being brothers, both had two faces.

The next morning, after seeing off Mu Jinyan who was going to study, Yun Xi and the other two also set off in a mighty manner.

Because Mu Sheng was also going, Lezi no longer liked riding in the carriage. He wanted to be tied to the horse with his father and hold the reins himself, looking quite like a real hero.

Mu Sheng said to Yun Xi: "My son is like me. He can become a great general when he grows up."

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Train him to become a great general, but I still hope there won't be any wars in the future."

Who would want war if peace is possible?

Even though the level of productivity was low in ancient times, in peacetime, if there were no extreme natural disasters, ordinary people could still survive, but their lives would be a little more difficult.

But once there is a war or a serious natural disaster, there will be starving people and suffering everywhere.

She came from a peaceful era and hopes that the world can always be peaceful.

Mu Sheng said: "Madam, what you said is very true. I also hope that peace can last forever."

Yun Xi said casually: "Maybe we can conduct peaceful infiltration."

"what for?"

"Why do the barbarians fight? Because they want to rob supplies. If they encounter natural disasters, they will not be able to survive. Now that there are trading markets on the border, supplies can be obtained through exchange, which is of course good. But we can also increase our efforts. For example, we can purchase their wool and sheepskin to make clothes, and we can also buy their beef and mutton to eat. We can develop the northern wilderness into our breeding farm and deepen their economic dependence on us. As long as they don't obey, we will impose economic sanctions on them!"

Mu Sheng: “…”
