Chapter 191 Love is always indebted
Mr. You asked another question, and this time he even straightened his back while speaking, looking much more upright.
"Then your highness, do you think Dai Viet is facing any difficulties now?"
Bei Jingchu had already seen this problem, just as mentioned in the previous topic.
The problem is obvious, but changing it is difficult.
Internal worries and external troubles, internal worries must always give way to external troubles.
"In fact, it is very difficult for Dai Viet to reform."
"At the end of the previous dynasty, there were 46 million people and 9 million registered households."
"Of course, the Yue Dynasty is at its peak. At least, it is much more prosperous than the last years of the previous dynasty."
“But there are only three million registered permanent residents.”
"This number must be wrong. It proves that there are countless people who have fled."
"If we can't even enforce household registration, then it will be even more difficult to reform government policies."
"I think this is the most difficult place in Dai Viet right now."
After Bei Jingchu left, several teachers looked at each other in the tea room.
Mr. Shu even asked someone to pinch him so that he could feel the pain and make sure that he was not dreaming.
"I have never seen a person who is so shrewd and able to see the big picture from the small details."
"I just hope it's not just paper talk."
Another teacher disagreed: "Brother Shu, isn't the purpose of Botang to test whether these students can flexibly apply what they have learned?"
"Such a genius must be taught well, so as not to become a Zhongyong!"
Mr. Shu became even more pessimistic.
"Such a child prodigy, but she was born into a royal family and is a princess."
"We have spent all our efforts to teach them, but they cannot enter the government and benefit the people."
"Isn't it more heartbreaking to hide a pearl in secret?"
The people in the room were completely silent. After a long moment, Master Shu himself let out a long sigh of relief.
"Forget it. Since Her Royal Highness is a gifted person, I'm sure that when the time comes, there will be a way out."
"The future of the Yue Dynasty is the business of these children. Let's just wait and see what kind of earth-shaking changes will happen in the future."
Anyway, I am happy to have a smart student.
Mr. Shu returned home with joy and opened the door.
In the yard, his grandchildren were flying kites together.
Their respective mothers kept giving them instructions in an exhausted manner.
The little granddaughter squatted on the ground, dug a handful of soil, and tried to stuff it into her mouth, but was caught by the wet nurse who was taking care of her.
The eldest daughter-in-law rushed over, grabbed the little granddaughter's hand and hit her.
"Put it down, you can't eat this!"
The little granddaughter was scolded by her mother and started crying loudly.
At this time his leg was hit again.
He looked down and saw that it was his grandson, a child about the same age as the princess he had just met today.
The child ran wildly and bumped into his leg, then bounced out and fell to the ground.
His mouth clenched, all his facial features wrinkled into a ball, and he started crying.
"Mother——"
After these two cries, other younger children also joined in the crying.
The yard was filled with the sharp cries of the child, which cured his slight hearing loss.
At this moment I just wish my hearing was a little more deaf.
"Father?"
Seeing him coming back, several daughters-in-law came to greet him.
But Mr. Shu is feeling very complicated now.
I used to think that having many descendants was a good thing.
Now I feel that Zisun Changsheng is quite noisy.
All the children in his family combined are not as good as the one I saw today.
Master Shu forced himself to remain calm. If genius were so easy to come by, it would not be genius.
"Nothing, go have fun with the kids. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
But the back view looked like he was fleeing in panic.
......
The time for the next departure is approaching.
Know that even a cage made of gold cannot hold an eagle that is ready to spread its wings.
Bei Heng had decided long ago that he must let the little guy out to see the world.
But when the time came to send him off, he felt reluctant to let him go.
When a son travels a thousand miles, his mother worries about him. Oh, it’s his father who worries about him.
"Chu'er, it's not like the palace outside. Everything is inconvenient."
"If you really can't stand it, just go back to the palace."
"You are still young anyway, you can learn slowly."
"Even if you continue playing for another two or three years, it will be easy to catch up with others."
"Aye will have someone prepare all the luggage you need to bring, and also prepare enough money for you."
"But if you miss home, just come back."
Because he was leaving, Bei Jingchu was rarely obedient. He nodded his head and obediently responded to his father's nagging.
As if he listened.
If her inner thoughts were not exposed.
Just as my mind was blank, Aye suddenly raised his voice: "Don't be distracted! Listen carefully to what I tell you!"
"oh."
Bei Jingchu touched her nose with a guilty conscience: [Aye, is this the roundworm in my stomach? ]
[I was acting really well, how did he know I was distracted? ]
When the students had rested enough and set out again, there was a little kid in the team.
This was already discordant enough, but what was even more discordant was the dozen or so horse-drawn carriages behind the child.
Faced with the suspicious expressions of his fellow students, Bei Jingchu was so embarrassed that he wished he could crawl under the wheels.
Yesterday, Aye said that everything had been prepared for her, but she didn't expect there would be more than a dozen cars.
Even so, when leaving, Aye said that there were too few things and asked her to see if there was anything missing.
Even in those dozen cars, there were not only items but also people.
Guards and servants were brought along.
It seems that she is not going there to study, she is going there to have fun.
Master Shu said with a wooden face: "Your Highness, we are here to do serious business. What you are doing is not in accordance with the rules."
Bei Jingchu of course knew that this was against the rules, and she smiled awkwardly.
Lei Nian'er replied to the Master: "Master, our Highness is not a person who loves leisure and hates work."
Even though she was, Lei Nian'er would not expose her shortcomings at this time.
"But His Majesty loves his daughter dearly. These are His Majesty's wishes. Your Highness has refused, but to no avail."
"Your Highness is a daughter of gold after all, and it doesn't matter if the convoy is a little bigger."
Mr. Shu walked away with a wooden face.
Looking at the bustling students, half of the older boys snorted disdainfully: "How can you enter Botang when you are so coquettish? Since you can't bear the hardship of traveling, wouldn't it be better for you to just stay in the capital and live a comfortable life?"
But he whispered very quietly, thinking that Bei Jingchu couldn't hear him.
Unfortunately, Bei Jingchu and Lei Nian'er were both martial artists, so they couldn't hear everything from a distance, but they did hear the malice contained in the words that came with the wind.
The two little girls looked at each other, and Lei Nian'er understood what the princess meant without even having to hear her thoughts.
"The brother in the brown robe."
The boy was startled by the shout, but what frightened him even more was what happened next.
"Just now, were you dissatisfied with His Highness for bringing so many things?"
After being told the truth directly, he felt more righteous and confident.
“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind, make his muscles and bones tired, and give him hunger.”
"Traveling is meant to temper one's will. Bringing so much burden will only hinder the team."
"It would have taken two months to get there, but it took three or four months because of the delay."
"Am I wrong?"
Bei Jingchu felt that what he said made sense and held Lei Nian'er's hand.
"Brother, you are right. I didn't think it through well."
"Changyan Haoyue, you go and take a look. The guards stay. Money, clothes, storable food and outdoor equipment stay behind."
"Send the others back."
