Once an idea takes hold in one's mind, it becomes difficult to stop. Yun Qing knows that her prophetic abilities can accomplish many things, but they must be reasonable.
Gu Yun has offended too many people, so he's very protective of his sickly only son. If I were to say this openly, it might be misinterpreted as a threat.
Yun Qing was quite distressed.
[I recall that historically, his son didn't live past twenty. Judging by the current timeline, it seems he'll be close. How can I subtly inform him that Mr. Yu has left home?]
The Qishui Yu family is the foremost family of physicians in the world. Although they often send disciples out to spread their medical skills, the world is vast and they are not interested in fame or fortune, so finding them is quite difficult. Moreover, not just any descendant can solve Gu Yun's son's illness.
If it weren't for the kindness that Li family had shown to Qishui, Mr. Yu wouldn't have come to the Li family incognito and stayed to protect Li Yunqing.
Moreover, after leaving Yunqing, his first choice was to travel the world to practice medicine, rather than stay in one place, which shows his noble character.
After all, everyone gets sick sometimes. It's good that Li Yunqing kept this news a secret from her family. Otherwise, if someone had their eye on them, both Li Yunqing and Mr. Yu might have been in danger.
"...What does the Grand Tutor think about handing Jiao Wenli over to the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?"
Xie Rang has investigated the matter thoroughly. In fact, he could hand the person over directly to the Ministry of Justice. Handing him over to the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review would involve an extra step and take a little longer.
Yun Qing strongly agreed: "It would be best to invite more people to attend the trial, so that everyone can see what kind of person he really is."
[Word-of-mouth among the people is the best channel for information dissemination. Only when everyone knows that Jiao Wenli is not a good person can those who secretly fabricate rumors to frame the little tyrant be prevented from emerging. Isn't it much better to be aboveboard!]
Historically, there have been instances where emperors dealt with remonstrating officials, but outside the court, it was said that the emperor was dissatisfied with the remonstrating officials and therefore falsely accused them of crimes. In the end, rumors spread like wildfire, and the emperor had to address each official individually to barely stop the rumors, but this also left behind potential problems.
"Grand Tutor's suggestion is excellent." Xie Rang agreed, intending to do it that way. He wanted to do his best in whatever the Grand Tutor cared about, given his ability. "Grand Tutor, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat; your voice is hoarse."
When Xie Rang felt the tea had cooled down, he skillfully poured a cup and handed it to Yun Qing. The temperature difference between day and night had been large in the past few days, and Yun Qing had caught a chill. Her throat was not fully recovered, so Xie Rang took extra care of her.
Yun Qing didn't notice anything unusual and accepted the reply: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
-
After returning to Beijing, Yun Qing felt that she hadn't been home for a long time, so she asked to go home.
Xie Rang was naturally reluctant, but he had no reason to force the Grand Tutor to stay, and besides, that was the Grand Tutor's home, so he could only reluctantly agree.
People's bottom line tends to shrink little by little; I'm not going to keep indulging this little tyrant!
Yun Qing mentally gave herself a good talking-to, pretending not to see Xie Rang's expression, and turned away from the Li residence without a second thought.
But before leaving, he still instructed his bodyguards to protect him well.
Yun Qing had traveled with Xie Rang for more than a month before returning home. After returning, they rushed to the imperial mausoleum to pay respects to their ancestors. Therefore, when Yun Qing returned to the Li residence again, she felt a little unfamiliar with it.
Uncle Jiang was very happy and asked the cook to make many of Yunqing's favorite dishes. He also talked about the letter that Meng Wan had sent.
"The lady said that glassmaking is not easy, so she only selected a few of the best quality pieces to send over, and they are on their way now. The rest should fetch a good price if sold."
The method provided by the system is the best that can be done in this era. Yun Qing knows that it would be good if it could produce a few results. He doesn't care about the rest. Anyway, this thing is not intended to be sold to ordinary people. It was made to make money off the rich.
"Great! Scarcity drives up value, let's make a killing!"
The matter of replenishing the national treasury is not urgent for now. Yun Qing cannot get involved there, but that doesn't mean she can't make money in her own way. It's better to be prepared.
Uncle Jiang was overjoyed and said he would take this matter seriously.
"By the way, is the first crop of grain ready for harvest? How's the experimental field?"
Yunqing mainly wanted to ask about this matter. What she cared about most was agricultural development. Although she hadn't experienced it firsthand, she had learned some planting methods from books, such as intercropping and relay cropping, which could maximize the use of field space without damaging soil fertility.
However, the knowledge in the book was rather general and lacked practical application, so she specially invited an old farmer to conduct a hands-on demonstration. If it proved effective, she would then promote it further.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Oh, young master, I almost forgot if you hadn't asked! The method is feasible. Although it can't double the grain yield, it will increase it to some extent. The key is that planting two crops on one plot of land saves even more space!"
He didn't know anything about these things before, but Yun Qing told him to do it, so he did it, and the results were really good!
"That's good. We can summarize our experience and tell them if anyone asks."
Farmers care most about the harvest, especially since there are many farmers around the estate, and they can see what's going on in that field. There's no need to say anything; the news will spread quickly throughout the capital.
As for other places, they can be taken along when additional personnel are sent to spread agricultural knowledge. Moreover, news is often not as isolated as one might imagine; perhaps some people will already know the news before they even begin to spread it.
Yun Qing only pursued increasing grain production as quickly as possible, and did not consider the so-called interests at this time. It was more important than anything else for the people to be fed.
"Especially the plot of land where sweet potatoes and corn are planted, we need to keep a close watch on it, and we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen."
Yun Qing said seriously, "These seeds, once replanted, will be the seeds for future grain production, and they will be very useful."
"The guards have already taken good care of it, young master, please rest assured."
While the two were chatting, a servant suddenly rushed over, his voice urgent: "Young master, there is a gentleman named Gu outside looking for you."
"Hmm?" Yun Qing was puzzled. She could only associate this surname with Gu Yun, so she said, "Please come in quickly."
She didn't know why the other person had come to see her at this time, but thought she would wait and see.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yun almost knelt down before her as soon as he saw her.
This Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who had served for over ten years, possessed a stern appearance, a powerful asset in court trials, exuding authority without anger. Now, however, he wore a sorrowful expression, pleading humbly with Yun Qing: "Grand Tutor, my son is critically ill. Could you please ask the Yu family of Qishui to help him? I, Gu, will repay you with my life..."
Yun Qing felt a chill run down her spine and quickly stepped forward to support him: "Lord Gu, this is absolutely forbidden—"
