Compulsory education in ancient times

Could it be that the empress' frugality is all pretended, but in fact their personal temperament is completely inconsistent with the rumors?

Gongsun, mother and daughter were cautious, and with this kind of speculation, they were even more afraid that they would accidentally anger Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan, which would arouse the wrath of the emperor's thunder, so they began to avoid Tao Jianran and the two.

Within a few days, Tao Yanran discovered the strangeness between the two of them.

Tao Jianran was still a little strange, so he called Tao Xiran over and asked, "Are your wife and mother-in-law not used to being on a boat?"

"Ah? It's good." Tao Xiran scratched his head, looking at Tao Jianran inexplicably.

Tao Jianran frowned, looking at his silly brother: "Is this good?"

On weekdays, when they saw Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan, the mother, grandson and daughter would leave in a hurry after saluting, as if they had seen a ghost.

Not only that, but after getting on the boat, they don't want everyone to eat together, saying that men and women can't sit at the same table.

This reason also silenced Tao Yanran, and there was nothing he could do about them.He can't force the two women to come over for dinner, can he?What difference does that rogue make.

It was the first time Tao Jianran was treated like this by a woman, and he couldn't help but wonder if he did something with Qi Bohan to scare the mother and daughter.

Tao Xiran was reprimanded by her elder brother, and left dejectedly.

When Gongsun Ling'er saw her husband coming out of Tao Jianran's place, her appearance changed, and her heart became even more uneasy.

When Tao Xiran saw her, he grabbed her hand and dragged her into the room.

Gongsun Ling'er was taken aback by Tao Xiran's rude behavior: "Sir, what are you going to do?"

Tao Xiran closed the door and said bluntly: "What's the matter with you and mother-in-law? Why do you always avoid my brother and the others?"

Gongsun Ling'er didn't expect their thoughts to be discovered, she was startled, and hurriedly denied, "No."

Seeing that Gongsun Ling'er refused to tell the truth, Tao Xiran was inevitably a little angry, but thinking of Tao Jianran's teaching just now, he could only take a deep breath and said dryly: "You can tell me what you think, between husband and wife. , there is nothing that cannot be said."

When Gongsun Ling'er heard this, her cheeks blushed a little, but she quickly calmed down.How could she fail to hear the indifference in Tao Xiran's words, this must not be his sincere words.

"It's really fine." Gongsun Ling'er lowered her head, "Both Your Majesties are very kind, it's just that men and women are different, that's why we dare not stay for a long time."

Gongsun Ling'er's explanation was reasonable, and Tao Xiran believed it immediately: "What are you afraid of, we are all relatives. Let's have dinner together starting tonight, and stop hiding."

Tao Xiran has lived in the village since he was a child, and there is nothing particular about the farmer's family. It is very common for brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law to eat together.

Even if Tao Xiran is now a member of the noble class, with Tao Jianran and Tao Xiaomei as examples, he has always regarded himself as an ordinary person, and what he yearned for since childhood is a happy life of a big family, and he can't understand the various rules of the high school.

Gongsun Ling'er could only helplessly agree.

After Tao Xiran solved the matter, he happily ran to report the situation to Tao Jianran, and Gongsun Ling'er also went to discuss countermeasures with his mother.

When it was time for dinner, the grandson, mother and daughter came very punctually.

It's just that during the banquet, they didn't dare to add food at will, they just ate in small bites, very restrained.Tao Yanran looked at them and felt sorry for their stomachs.

Tao Jianran could only look at Qi Bohan helplessly, and couldn't help thinking, are they really so scary?

Qi Bohan was not afraid of this awkward atmosphere, and he took a chopstick for Tao Jianran with a calm expression.

Tao Yanran looked at the dishes in his bowl, and then stared at Tao Xiran again.

Tao Xiran didn't understand, so after Tao Jianran's eyes went back and forth between Cai and Gongsun Ling'er several times, he suddenly realized that he also gave his wife a big pig's trotter.

Gongsun Ling'er looked at the pig's trotters that suddenly appeared in the bowl with a troubled expression.

In order to maintain a light and slim figure, Gongsun Ling'er hardly eats such greasy food.But in this scene, if she doesn't eat...

Gongsun Ling'er could only sacrifice her life for righteousness, closed her eyes and took a light bite.

The skin and meat, which I thought would be particularly greasy, melted in the mouth, with the unique glutinous taste of collagen, and the taste carefully prepared by the chef, conquered Gongsun Linger's taste buds in an instant.

Mrs. Gongsun didn't expect her daughter to fall in front of a pig's trotter, her heart tightened, and she quickly peeked at Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan's reaction from the corner of her eye.

It's just that the two of them didn't think it was a big fuss, and Tao Yanran specially greeted them: "Mrs. Gongsun, why don't you try this braised pig's trotters too. It is said that eating too many pig's trotters can reduce wrinkles."

Tao Jianran is not sure if eating pig's trotters can supplement collagen, but if you eat too much, you will definitely gain weight. After gaining weight...wrinkles should be stretched away!

Tao Jianran's very irresponsible introduction made Mrs. Gongsun's eyes shine.

She is now in her 40s. Although she still looks charming, no woman wants to be younger and more beautiful.

So Mrs. Gongsun also carefully picked up a piece of pig's trotter, and couldn't stop eating it!

On weekdays, the mother and daughter did not eat with Tao Jianran and his wife, so what they ate were meals cooked by the apprentice of the imperial chef.

Now it's the first time I have tasted Master's craftsmanship, so I can't stop.

Gongsun, mother and daughter put down their guard, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became harmonious.

After such a meal, the ice was broken between Gongsun, mother and daughter and Tao Jianran, and the atmosphere on board became more and more harmonious.

It's just that the mother-in-law, the grandson, and her daughter noticed early on that this big ship was not in line with the style of the emperor and empress, and Tao Xiran, a silly boy, only discovered this problem after living on the ship for more than ten days.

Tao Xiran didn't hold back any questions, so he went directly to Tao Jianran and asked, "Brother, this ship is expensive, right? Why did you suddenly build such a ship?"

"It's okay, the money will be earned back sooner or later." Tao Jianran replied very calmly.

In fact, the ship as a whole had already been completed long before they left Beijing, and it had already passed the sailing test.

It was originally intended to be used as a cargo ship for national transportation and used for national material dispatch.

But after they made the travel plan, Qi Bohan asked people to decorate the ship as it is now.

The main reason is that when the emperor and empress return to Beijing, the honor guard of Tianwei cannot be lost.

Although Tao Jianran's policies are very close to the people, as a ruler, what he wants is the respect and love of the people, not the closeness of the people.

Only when the people are always in awe of the ruler can the ruler's position be stabilized.

Tao Jianran felt helpless for these principles, but he had to obey them, so this ship was born.

However, although Tao Jianran compromised, he absolutely did not allow such a ship, which cost a huge amount of money, to be put into the warehouse to eat ashes after returning to Beijing.

So Tao Jianran thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

After returning to Beijing, some things on the ship that only the emperor can use will be dismantled, and then rented out to the people of Rui Dynasty!

The lease period is to go back and forth between the northernmost and southernmost canals. There is not much time limit, but the longest period cannot exceed two months.

And the rent for these two months will cost 1000 taels of gold!

Although the warehouse space of this big ship is very large, its own cargo value is naturally not worth so much money.

Not to be missed, the exterior and interior decoration of this big ship are extremely luxurious, compared to the rent, it is a drop in the bucket.

What's more, this is the ship that the emperor and empress used to ride on. Who wouldn't want to come up and experience what kind of life the emperor and empress lived!

Besides, the 1000 taels of gold is only the total price, but there is no rule that only one person can rent it.

If you are reluctant to pay so much by yourself, you can invite a few friends to share the rent together.

Anyway, this boat is big enough, and a few more people can have fun.

Of course, Tao Jianran's method is not only about the rent.

When the time comes, all functions on the ship will be fully opened.

Not to mention gold-selling caves like casinos, there is also one-stop eating, drinking and having fun, and a set of bathing and massage!

Except for the prostitution that is clearly prohibited by the Rui Dynasty, there are all other gold-selling jobs on this boat!

In this way, within one year, the cost of shipbuilding can be recovered, and in two years it can start to make a profit!

According to the quality of this large ship, it can be guaranteed to sail normally within ten years.

After ten years, the ship can be propped to a random port as a tourist attraction, selling tickets to the common people, which is another long-term income!

It can be said that as long as it is operated well, the profit that this ship can bring will be hundreds or thousands of times higher than its cost!

After listening to Tao Jianran's eloquent talk, Tao Xiran couldn't help but be impressed by his elder brother's intelligence.

Tao Yanran looked at his stupid younger brother with hatred, and could only advise again: "Be nicer to your wife at ordinary times, don't always be cold and incomprehensible, if this goes on, which girl can stand you?" .”

Tao Xiran scratched her head in distress: "But... I don't understand."

"Look at your sister and Tian Da, look at me and Qi Bohan. Why are you so clueless!" Tao Yanran slapped Tao Xiran on the head hard, and kicked the idiot out.

After half a month, Tao Jianran and his party finally returned to the capital.

There was no sound when he left, but when he came back, he was greeted by thousands of people.

There are gongs and drums in front to open the way, and there are maids throwing flower petals and lottery money behind, which can be said to be a huge momentum.

Although there were many people along the way, there was no trouble.

At this time, Turkic was beaten back by Wang Junhao, and he had no time to send people to assassinate him.

When other countries learned that the assassins they had sent were arrested, Ruichao kept refusing to attack, so they knew that this time they had a big deal to deal with, and they had no intention of sending assassins, instead they were hurrying to prepare for the battle!

After successfully returning to the palace, Qi Bohan and Tao Yanran did not rest, and directly summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss the matter of the war!
