Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The saint stopped suddenly.

"Chengxian, what did you say?"

The sage's serious tone made the servants around him bow their heads in fright. They had never seen the sage speak to the prince in such a tone.

"Father," the prince's tone was steady, and the tone was still so gentle, and there was a trace of gentle power in it.The saint's face involuntarily softened a little.

"We can predict the dangers coming from the north and west. The accumulated experience of more than a thousand years can also give us a reference on how to resist these intruders. But to the east, the vast sea, the sea People around here can make exquisite and accurate timekeeping clocks..."

The prince paused for a while, smiled and said to the saint: "Father, let's talk as we walk, the little suckling pig should be in a hurry."

"Well." The sage followed the prince's words and continued to move forward.

"Father, my son thinks that the known dangers and threats are not scary. If you invest energy in advance, you can take targeted precautions. The unknown and the power that we can't resist are what our father and son should pay attention to."

The saint suddenly felt that his current son was farther than he thought.The prince has such thinking, is it worrying unfoundedly, or is he far-sighted?

"Chengxian, what are you going to do?"

"Shipbuilding." The prince heaved a sigh of relief, as long as the saint is willing to discuss further. "The imperial court sent people to look at those places. If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. It's just that those people came to us with their things. But we only know that they are on the other side of the sea. How far? How to get there? How long will it take? I don't know. It's so disturbing."

After saying these words, the prince was a little embarrassed.

"Royal father, don't you think that my minister is worrying about nothing?"

"No. People who have no long-term considerations must have near-term worries. If we father and son think more, the world of the Tu family will be more stable. The battle against the Northwest cannot be delayed any longer. Shipbuilding will have to wait a few years, and it will have to wait a few years." It's a year that continues like this, with good weather. Chengxian, you know, the court can't give away any more money."

"There is no need for silver to appear in the court."

"How to say?"

Saint is very interested.How to build a ship without silver appearing in the court?

"If it is possible to issue shares in sea-building ships, or even sea-going licenses, such as five-year or ten-year licenses, and then use this money to build sea ships, it will attract the money of rich people scattered among the people to do things."

"This is a way. Think about it carefully and draw up a detailed regulation. I will discuss it with the cabinet after the sacrifice to heaven."

"Yes."

The little suckling pig in the East Palace is making a fuss.Every day at this time, even if the saint does not come, the prince will come back early.It's getting dark now, and there's no one there yet, and I've started crying.

The sage and the prince had just walked to the main hall, and the princess received the news that the sage and the prince were coming. She hugged the crying suckling pig and coaxed it as she walked out.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Grandfather and your father are here."

The little suckling pig refused to listen, and kept crying with its eyes closed.

"This child, when he recovers, he just clings like that, and when he doesn't like it, he just cries like that."

The prince hurriedly explained to the saint.Then he took two quick steps, clapped his hands, "Little suckling pig." He took the child out of the arms of the princess.

After changing arms, the crying of the little suckling pig stopped abruptly.Opening his eyes to look at the prince, he choked again.

The saint was very distressed, and hurried forward, reaching out to hug his grandson.

"Come, come, little suckling pig, come to the emperor's grandfather."

The little suckling pig hugged the prince's neck, looked at the saint, and stretched out his hand hesitantly. The beautiful saint quickly hugged his grandson.The prince took the wet handkerchief from the nurse and wiped the child's face.

"Why are you crying?" the sage asked the princess.

"At that point, I will miss my father."

The princess smiled and explained, and the saint was very happy to hear that.He coaxed his grandson and said, "When the weather gets warmer next year, and I miss my grandpa, I'll let someone take you there. You can't cry like this, it hurts your throat."

The little suckling pig was sobbing and choking, feeling extremely wronged.The saint gave Wei Jiu a look, and Wei Jiu took a tumbler from the hand of the servant who followed him.

It is colorful, and immediately caught the attention of the little suckling pig.

Wei Jiu put the tumbler on the coffee table beside the saint.The little suckling pig stretched out his hand, and the tumbler wobbled, making a crisp ding-dong sound. The little suckling pig's little hand swung the tumbler back and forth. Looking at the tilting tumbler, he forgot to cry.

After playing for a while, the prince saw that the little suckling pig was starting to wilt, so he took the little suckling pig out of the saint's arms.The princess saw that the child's mind was still on the tumbler, so she stuffed the tumbler into the little suckling pig's arms and let him hold it.Almost instantly, the little suckling pig fell asleep with his eyes closed.

"It's because I was tired from crying just now." The saint said distressedly, and then turned around and told Wei Jiu, "Remember to remind me in the future, eat dinner early and come here early, so as not to make the child cry."

Wei Jiu quickly agreed.

The prince gave the child to the princess, "I still have political affairs, I have to go back and deal with the saint."

The crown princess nodded, hugged the child to bow to the saint, and watched her husband and the saint leave.

That night, the sage and the prince were so busy that they almost went to the palace gate to drop the key, and only then did they finish processing the papers for the day.Both father and son know that there are many things at the end of the year, and the backlog of things that have not been reported last month. After the sacrifice, they should not be so busy anymore.

"Hurry up and go back. There is an early morning tomorrow."

"Yes, father also rested early."

Liang Jiu took over and told the people who followed the prince to be careful, and when they were far away from the Qianqing Palace, they went back to serve the saint to rest.

In the past two days, with the special help of the prince, helping the saint, although he is still busy, he has improved a lot.The saint changed into pajamas, folded his hands on his belly, and closed his eyes.

Liang Jiu lowered the bed curtain lightly, leaving a small lamp on the bedside.Then he made a gesture to the little servants who were watching the night.Seeing this, the servants immediately went to their respective positions, the bedroom was completely silent, and a needle could be heard.

Through the bed curtain, the dim candlelight is like a hazy ball of light.

The saint looked sideways and closed his eyes again.

Reason told him that he should go to bed, but in his mind, he couldn't help thinking about the day's affairs.

——The prince did not express any dissatisfaction with the matter of imprisoning the second prince.He didn't pursue to severely punish the second prince, nor did he stop thinking about the second prince because of his vicious behavior.At this time, he could still think about the second prince's marriage, and even the side concubine who was originally assigned to the second prince was also thinking about what to do.Brother Zhou Quan is really comprehensive.

Be worthy of a word of benevolence!

It's a pity that the second prince, who was instigated by those traitors with evil intentions, can still go down to harm such a good brother!Otherwise, it will be another generation of brothers and sisters.In the future, he can also be allowed to take over after Prince Fu.

well!Don't want this disappointing evil.

It's still my Chengxian.For such a brother of his own, he also repays his grievances with virtue.Let me be a father, feel at ease, and don't expect the prince to fight with his brothers in the future.

But if outsiders are so benevolent and righteous, maybe they will stumble and suffer.

It's better to let the prince be cruel.

The sage was thinking about it, and unconsciously, he fell asleep.

In the next few days, the cabinet continued to discuss the new economic model proposed by the prince.This kind of proposal to leverage a little bit, revitalize the overall situation, and improve the living conditions of the existing people immediately won the support of all cabinet ministers.Jia Daishan strongly supported this reform that could increase the meat supply of soldiers in the army.The obvious thing is that if you eat more meat, the soldiers will be in better health and stronger.

As for the common people's daily diet, the addition of meat such as eggs and pork can reduce food consumption and enhance physical strength, especially the impact of reducing the impact of drowning female babies. It is not necessary for the prince to say that everyone has already realized it.As for the fact that chicken manure and pig manure can increase the fertility of the land and increase the grain harvest, there is no need for the prince to describe it further.

The cabinet discussions focused on whether the eggs and pork could be shipped out, and the impact on the existing economic balance model.

During the most heated discussions in the cabinet, the prince quietly added a sentence - if you want to get rich, build roads first.If money is not enough, raise more pigs.

The sage and several ministers were silent for a while, and immediately burst out laughing.

The sage praised loudly: "Good, good, build roads, raise pigs."

Zhang Taifu took the lead in bowing his hands to the saint, "Congratulations to the saint, the Tu family has such a descendant, and together with the saint, they will surely create a prosperous dynasty like the "Government of Wenjing"."

Several other ministers also congratulated the saint.

After laughing, the sage proposed to select a few villages as pilot projects.The cabinet ministers all believed that if the number of participating families is too small, the final demonstration effect may not be convincing enough, so they rejected the proposal of the saint.In the end, the monarchs and ministers reached a consensus and selected two to three medium-sized counties as pilot projects.The condition must be close to the official road, or close to the canal, so as to facilitate the transportation of agricultural products.Which counties to choose specifically, these cabinet ministers who have experienced in the local area, each recommend the place where they have traveled.Each said their own reasons, fighting with red faces, refusing to give in to each other, and the usual gentleman's demeanor and cabinet minister's demeanor were no longer in the slightest.

The saint made a decision and asked the cabinet ministers to submit written opinions on the several counties proposed to be selected, their respective advantages and disadvantages, and make a decision after offering sacrifices to heaven.

The matter of the water-powered spinning wheel submitted by the Ministry of Industry was also passed.The Ministry of Industry will set up a Textile Bureau in Gyeonggi to take advantage of Gyeonggi's hydraulic advantages and try it out for a year.Zhang Taifu pointed out that the ratio of grain fields to cotton fields should not be reduced because the Textile Bureau needs a lot of cotton.

The prince looked at the sage's eyes and stood up to speak, "I heard that there is a land with three crops a year in the south. Will the imperial court send people to investigate and see if there is such a place? If there is such a place, the imperial court will no longer have to worry about food shortages." gone."
