Despite her lack of skill, she managed to seize all the money from the fourth branch of the family and save her parents' lives.
Unfortunately, the younger brother was a disappointment, and both the parents and the younger brother met their deaths. So, it's fair to say that apart from the married daughters, no one else in the Yu family survived.
There are no survivors! Listening to it again still hits me hard!
The three members of the Yu family were filled with mixed feelings, and they seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with their family's parenting. This granddaughter had betrayed her own people...
Oh, that's not my biological child. I'll get over this feeling of heartbreak soon!
However, the biological child only knows to remind their own parents, and as for why other relatives didn't care, they don't know the whole story and therefore won't comment.
Alas! The children made a mistake, but their own judgment was also flawed. They chose a Beili man for one granddaughter and a Xiqiang man for the other!
Eighth girl...
This life will be different now. They will definitely keep their eyes open and find good husbands for their granddaughters, even if it's just spies or something...
Yu Chongshan looked at the carriage with great satisfaction. With Fu Guang's help, his family should no longer be able to choose the wrong family for their children.
Fortunately, there was Fu Guang. If she hadn't descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, the real seventh young lady of the Yu family would have died at the age of five after being switched.
Given the Sun family's protection of Ning Rou, they would never have known about this matter, and history would have repeated itself along its original trajectory.
Yue Fuguang is not only the savior of Dayan, but also the savior of their Yu family.
As for Qu Tong's matter, he will report it to His Majesty in detail, and His Majesty will decide how to handle it.
If we really think about it, his eighth daughter was also a victim, so His Majesty shouldn't be so harsh on a child.
At this moment, Yu Chongshan completely forgot about his two grandsons from the fourth branch of the family who had unwittingly boarded the pirate ship!
...
"Little Bead, I'm so bored. Tell me a joke."
Master, isn't it quite interesting to watch these adults argue?
"It's the same every day, just a bunch of noobs fighting each other, what's so interesting about that?"
The Minister of Revenue, Dong Qianli, and the Minister of Rites, Zhang Zhongping, who were arguing amongst themselves, both showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
They exchanged a glance and immediately felt annoyed, then both snorted coldly at each other.
One demanded that the imperial court allocate funds, while the other insisted that there were no funds, and so they started arguing.
Why do they insist on preparing so many fine things as return gifts for the foreigners? Is the Dayan Kingdom really that wealthy?
Ten years later, the Dayan Kingdom was destroyed, and none of these so-called friendly nations were clean.
The Northern Li, Western Qiang, and Southern Yue kingdoms were the main attackers, while the Nanzhao, Hua Qiang, Western Rong, Northern Min, and Eastern Ying kingdoms also contributed.
The Great Yan Empire can be said to have been destroyed by a coalition of multiple countries.
Instead of saving money to help their people get through this year's snow disaster, these adults are thinking about giving gifts to others for the sake of so-called face.
Did they not know that the money they gave away would become weapons to attack Dayan years later?
That's utterly absurd!
"Little Bead, now that you mention it, I suddenly feel like this is indirectly aiding the enemy!"
The emperor and his ministers of the Dayan dynasty, including Emperor Mingxi, were so shocked by their words that they were speechless for a long time.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Everyone felt a series of loud noises in their minds, as if a new and strange door had been opened for them.
This is tantamount to aiding the enemy in disguise; those words kept echoing in their minds!
What they considered a routine diplomatic ceremony between two countries can be viewed from a different perspective.
After careful consideration, everyone had to nod in agreement, agreeing with what the Little Immortal Lord and the Divine Artifact Master said.
If you calculate the value of the gifts sent out each year in terms of money... wow!
It was Dong Qianli, the Minister of Revenue, who was groaning with regret. He couldn't keep track of all the gifts he had given away over the years, or he wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep lately.
I was both angry and heartbroken!
The most guilty people at this moment were the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Court of State Ceremonial, who had given away a lot of gifts under the pretext of upholding the dignity of a great nation.
Although they did receive gifts, as I said before, for the sake of His Majesty and the Great Yan's reputation, they would only give more!
The Little Immortal Lord said that their actions were aiding the enemy!
A slight tremor ran through them, and the group led by Zhang Zhongping, the Minister of Rites, cautiously glanced at their Emperor's expression.
Emperor Mingxi felt a little embarrassed, knowing that the reason they could send things out like this was because of his prior instructions.
In order to demonstrate his magnanimity as a great power, he certainly...
Before he could figure out how to correct the situation, he saw the ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Court of State Ceremonial cautiously looking up at him!
Cough cough cough!
Emperor Mingxi cleared his throat twice and said, "Minister Zhang and Minister Dong are right. The national treasury is indeed in a tight spot this year."
Yesterday, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau reported that after observing the celestial phenomena last night, they predicted that there might be a major snow disaster this year.
Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue must reserve sufficient funds for disaster prevention and relief.
For this year's birthday celebration, the return gifts from various diplomatic missions should be of equal value to the gifts received from each country.
Upon hearing Emperor Mingxi's decision, Dong Qianli was the first to kneel down and shout, "Your Majesty is wise, a blessing to the people!"
"Your Majesty is wise; the people are fortunate!"
Seeing that Dong Qianli had beaten them to the punch in flattery, the ministers, not wanting to be left behind, quickly joined in the chorus of praise.
"Stop just shouting slogans and flattering. Now that you know there will be a snow disaster this year, shouldn't you be thinking about how to prevent and respond to the disaster? There's still more than a month until the snow disaster."
Cough cough cough cough cough...
A series of awkward coughs rose and fell among the crowd. They were also nervous when they first heard about the snow disaster, but then they thought about how the weather had been particularly cold every winter in recent years.
Houses often collapse under the weight of heavy snow; it happens every year, and they're used to it.
Master, speaking of snow disasters, have you forgotten something?
"What did I forget? Tell me quickly," Yue Fuguang thought to herself, her mouth never stopping.
Holding the osmanthus cake and munching on it, she looked just like a greedy little hamster.
"You haven't forgotten what you told the Crown Prince about making cement? Houses built with cement mixed with sand and gravel are much sturdier than the mud houses we have now."
And that heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), did you forget to give the blueprints to your grandfather?
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten to give the blueprints to my grandfather. Today, I'll find some craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and have them build a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) in the side room of Mingyue Pavilion for winter heating."
As for the cement, since it has already been entrusted to the Crown Prince, we shouldn't worry about it. I trust the Crown Prince will keep a close eye on this matter.
Speaking of cement, the prince touched his nose embarrassedly. Although Yue Fuguang had given very clear instructions, they had to rebuild the kiln because their previous kiln did not meet the requirements.
A batch of cement was only fired yesterday, and the strength of the finished product is still being tested. He hasn't even had a chance to tell Yue Fuguang the news yet.
If there are no problems, then we will proceed as agreed upon by the officials and the Emperor: repairing houses and building disaster relief shelters with cement.
As for glass, the craftsmen have gradually produced finished products. He plans to take advantage of the golden opportunity of the envoys from various countries gathering in the capital to make more and sell them to them at high prices.
He planned to ask the Junior Tutor for advice in the next couple of days, but he never expected that she would completely ignore it.
