A few years passed in a flash.
Dabao, also known as Long Haoyu, was already handling state affairs, and Erbao, Long Haoxuan, was forced to follow Dabao to handle memorials. The two first wrote their opinions on the memorials on a piece of paper and clipped it to the memorials.
Erbao was crying and shaking his head while doing his work.
"Brother, won't you let me go out and play?"
"Erbao. You have two younger sisters, a younger brother, and a little aunt. These are all your responsibilities."
Erbao sat on the ground and acted like a spoiled child, feeling hopeless.
"Brother. Aren't these all your responsibilities?"
Dabao's face looked more and more like Gu Beiheng. He put down the pen in his hand, raised his mature face and looked at Erbao seriously. "It's my responsibility. I will be responsible for disciplining you and managing the country in the future."
Erbao was completely relieved.
It's so scary.
He also has to manage the country. Thinking of this, Erbao felt sorry for Dabao again.
Poor Dabao was forced to do so many things just because he came out to fart earlier than him.
"Brother, let me help you." Erbao howled a few times, and finally got up from the ground and started working.
Dabao's brows relaxed and he smiled triumphantly.
"Brother, look, my aunt is stealing my food again." Xibao ran in and hugged Dabao tightly.
Dabao's voice softened a lot, and he reached out and touched Xibao's hair. He said softly:
"It's okay. Big brother left some good things for us Xibao."
"Really?" Xibao pouted. He had become much thinner as he grew older.
No matter how Su Qi treated it, it was useless.
This girl is just greedy and very thin.
"When has Big Brother ever lied to Xibao?"
Erbao took a piece of cake from the plate and stuffed it into Xibao's mouth. "Auntie has a strange temper. She's not afraid of anything. She's just afraid of..."
Long Beining rushed in angrily.
With his hands on his hips, he said, "Who said anything bad about me?"
"Aunt." Dabao said nothing with a cold face.
Long Beining was not afraid of anything except her nephew. Seeing Dabao's cold face and silence, she lost her confidence like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Dabao." Long Beining huddled in the corner, not daring to say a word. "I was just joking with Xibao."
"I'm leaving, leaving." Long Beining waved his hand and ran out quickly.
When I got outside, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Dabao's face looks like the emperor in the Golden Palace.
"I am such a useless aunt. I get scared half to death when I see my nephew." Long Beining put his hands behind his back and prepared to go find Long Moyuan to cry.
Long Beining is spoiled by Long Moyuan. This little girl is naughty and good at flattering Gu Beiheng.
He was doing very well in the palace.
But the person she fears the most is Dabao.
Gu Beiheng started training Dabao to read memorials a few years ago, and asked him to hide behind the dragon throne in the Golden Palace and listen to the ministers arguing in the court.
When Dabao first heard it, he was also confused.
A few years later, under the guidance of Military Advisor Mo and Gu Beiheng, Dabao was able to understand the thoughts of every minister.
He showed no fear at all when dealing with these cunning guys.
Meanwhile, Gu Beiheng and Su Qi were preparing to welcome the envoys from the Northern Liang Kingdom. Now, even the small border states had been incorporated into Qin's territory, and the small tribes of the East Sea had already clung to Qin's influence.
The only exception is Beiliang.
Qin and Beiliang traded, but only grain was blocked.
If Qin civilians or merchants were caught selling grain to Northern Liang, they would be executed. Furthermore, within the five clans, no one could take the imperial examinations, engage in business, or own land, for a period of ten generations.
No one dares to sacrifice the happiness of their descendants for a little profit.
The land in Beiliang is barren.
Originally relying on external food supplies, they exported beef and mutton.
Su Qi now advocated for the cultivation of pasture grass and the raising of cattle, sheep, and horses in several areas of the northwest. Animal husbandry led to the prosperity of the nomadic peoples of Daqin, and a large amount of meat was processed and sent to other places.
The horses of Beiliang are not necessarily as good as those of Daqin.
The beef and mutton they raise are not as delicious as the beef and mutton raised by Daqin.
The people of Beiliang were the first to be unable to bear it. In a natural disaster last year, many people suffered heavy casualties.
Having no choice.
The Emperor of Beiliang took the initiative to seek help from Daqin.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi sent a medical team and a lot of food.
After the medical team from Daqin returned, the Northern Liang Kingdom sent envoys to Daqin.
Su Qi left the palace and came to the Yue Mansion. Yue Jiushao and Su Ting finally got married. They bought a four-yard house near Ying Yi and others.
I didn’t live with those people from Yue’s family.
Ying Yi and Ying Er were still following Su Qi. When the doorman of Yue Mansion saw that it was Ying Yi, he opened the door and let them in.
"Master, our master is in the study. I'll let you know right away."
"Ask your wife to come over as well and tell her that her second sister is here."
"Hey. I understand."
Yue Jiushao came out of the study and knelt down to greet Su Qi. Su Qi raised her hand and asked him to stand up.
"I have something to ask you this time."
"My Lady, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Yue Jiushao was much calmer now. His father intended to cultivate him to be the head of the family.
"The Northern Liang Kingdom is sending envoys to the Great Qin State. I would like you to go and inquire about it halfway."
"You mean the Emperor of Beiliang will also come?"
"Hmm. That's possible. The situation in Beiliang isn't optimistic right now. They're surrounded by water on two sides and close to our Great Qin on the other two." Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "But their animal husbandry isn't dominant, and they don't have agricultural support."
Speaking of this, Yue Jiushao still thinks Gu Beiheng and Su Qi are more capable.
Instead of sending troops to attack Beiliang, he came up with many countermeasures against Beiliang.
Without trade in food, other trades are useless.
For the people, food is the most important thing.
How many wealthy families in Beiliang would rather give up their land in Beiliang and settle down in Daqin.
How many people in Beiliang are willing to submit?
"My lady, I'll make this trip."
"Find out their bottom line."
"yes."
Su Qi waved her hand and asked Yue Jiushao to leave. "You go. I'll talk to Su Ting."
Yue Jiushao had no choice but to get up and leave.
Su Ting has been pregnant for more than six months. She has given birth to three children before: a pair of twin sons and a daughter.
Su Qi has reason to believe that the Su family has the twin gene.
Su Ting came to the study with a protruding belly.
Shadow One and Shadow Two were guarding outside the door.
"Second sister, I really want to go to the palace to see you."
"How is it?" Su Qi saw that Su Ting looked good, "Is he treating you well?"
"It's impossible to do what my brother-in-law did to you." Su Ting sighed and said, "Ayan has a mistress who is kept in Huazhi Alley. I know that Huazhi Alley is full of mistresses kept by rich people."
"Then what do you want?" Su Qi reached out and held Su Ting's hand tightly. They almost didn't get married back then.
Su Ting shook her head and smiled bitterly, "There aren't many people like my brother-in-law. Yan'er's husband is also clamoring to take a concubine."
"Everyone made a promise when they got married. How about doing it the best way?" Su Ting sneered while touching her belly.
"Second sister, I've come to terms with it. The guy from Flower Branch Lane stayed there and sent someone to pour a bowl of saffron. I have more property than he does now, and it will be a guarantee for my children in the future."
Su Qi didn't expect that in just a few years.
Su Ting and Yue Jiushao's lives also became a mess.
"Ting'er. If you need me, just tell me." Su Qi reached out and gently touched Su Ting's hair on her forehead.
Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief, "Second sister, I'm not having a hard time. As long as a woman doesn't have a love-sick mind and is devoted to her children, she can live a good life."
After a pause, he continued:
"My business outside is no worse than his. Right now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a business deal, and I hope that the shops opened by Yan'er, Beihe, and I can win it."
"Competing with the Yue family?"
"What belongs to the Yue family belongs to the Yue family. Our Jinguolou business is our own. I left a share for you." Su Ting smiled.
"You guys did so much? Is it really because men are unreliable?"
