The Minister of Revenue Zhang Han privately advised Song Jinxiu.
"Your Majesty, do you want to unify Dada? Your Majesty, you don't know that the north is very cold and the winter is long.
Reclaiming this land is like chicken ribs, a waste of manpower and resources. It would be better to let them surrender..."
Song Jinxiu looked at the Cangwu map on the table and knocked on it.
"Each land and water nourishes each person. Although it is very cold here, if we are properly settled, we can be self-sufficient and have a good life."
Zhang Han looked at Song Jinxiu, "Your Majesty, do you have a charter?"
Song Jinxiu nodded. The Dada people knew about robbery in winter, but they didn't know that there were things in the black water in winter that could feed them.
Winter fishing in the north is the most abundant festival in the north.
And if there is rice...
"Uncle Zhang, are all the military funds ready?"
"Yes, now the national treasury is rich, food and grass are fully prepared, and the soldiers have enough cotton clothes."
Speaking of this, Zhang 떚han couldn't help but feel high-spirited.
Today, Cangwu has a bumper cotton harvest every year, and he has also contributed to it.
Of course, this labor was also given by Song Jinxiu.
At the beginning, Song Jinxiu gave him the high-yield cotton technology. He led his people to work day and night for two years, summed up the experience and promoted it to the whole Cangwu.
If it weren't for Song Jinxiu, who would have thought that if cotton wanted to have a high yield, it would have to be ruthless to remove the side buds and pinch the tops, and there was also a set of techniques for fertilizing and preventing diseases and pests.
"Okay, let Liu Nenggan coordinate the food and grass. I have other tasks for you."
The establishment of Cangwu State-owned Bank, as well as shipping and the Silk Road, all required professional talents from the Ministry of Revenue.
The emperor and his minister chatted for a long time in the imperial study. Song Jinxiu gave instructions while Zhang Han took notes carefully in a small notebook.
Time passed by unknowingly, and soon it was time for dinner.
The emperor and the empress asked Zhang Han to stay for dinner. Although most of the time they followed the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, Song Jinxiu was not one to follow the rules.
As she ate, she would say a few words whenever she thought of something, and Zhang Han would quickly put down her chopsticks and pick up a pen and paper to take notes.
Every instruction from Her Majesty could enlighten people. Sometimes, after she said something, he had to ponder it for a long time before he could understand it.
So, it is necessary to write it down.
Seeing that Zhang Han was having a hard time eating, Su Mo quickly picked up a piece of lotus root and gave it to Song Jinxiu. "This is the new lotus root this year. Eat first, and then get busy after you finish eating."
Since his little girl became an emperor, she has devoted herself to state affairs, working diligently and fairly for the country and the people.
And Zhang Han was also a diligent and capable official, and because of the relationship with his mother-in-law, they usually got along quite casually. But what happened today?
The emperor and his subjects were very respectful to each other, and Zhang Han was always careful. What bad thing did he do?
He could see that His Majesty must have known it for a long time. Looking at the situation today, is this an intentional warning?
Su Mo waved his hand, signaling the servants to go out, "You all go guard outside, no need to serve."
Don't let the little girl say something harsh. Zhang Han will be embarrassed. After all, this guy is your Majesty's stepfather.
Don't you know what Uncle Zhang did wrong to cause the girl to dislike him?
Sure enough, Song Jinxiu looked at Zhang Han and suddenly asked, "Uncle Zhang, I heard that my mother is pregnant again?"
Zhang 떚han was eating when he choked when he heard Song Jinxiu's question.
But she did not dare to lose her manners in front of the king, and felt very uncomfortable.
Su Mo was also stunned. He didn't expect that the girl was unhappy because of this.
My mother-in-law is not yet fifty, and it is a happy event for an old clam to be pregnant with a pearl, so why is this girl unhappy?
Song Jinxiu couldn't tell whether she was happy or not about her mother's pregnancy.
How can a man understand the hardship a woman goes through during her ten months of pregnancy, let alone when the mother is an elderly pregnant woman, the hardship is even greater.
So when she saw her stepfather, the culprit, she felt unhappy.
Song Jinxiu then said, "Pregnant woman of advanced age, do you think the child is joking? Why are you so careless?"
Zhang Han's face turned red and his neck became thick with embarrassment.
They were very careful. It was fate that this child came...
Zhang Donghan was depressed. He and his wife had met too late in the beginning, and now the children were grown up.
You're grown up now, and you have your own ideas. Why do you still care about your parents' bedroom affairs?
…
Three days later, the Crown Prince led the three armies to the frontier, and Junjun accompanied him.
On the tower, Song Jinxiu, dressed in a golden dragon robe, straightened her son's helmet with her own hands.
The young emperor looked at the young boy and asked, "Are you afraid?"
The ten-year-old Liu Rui looked determined, "Don't worry, mother. I am not afraid."
"Okay, leading troops is different from governing a country. You are the crown prince, and also their general. Although weapons and equipment are important, what is more important is the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army."
Twenty-eight-year-old Song Jinxiu, the Queen of Cangwu, had a wise and calm look in her eyes. She patiently and kindly taught:
"My son, do not look down on others because of your status, do not go against the majority because of your own opinion, and do not rely on your ability to lose your loyalty.
The scholar should not sit, the scholar should not eat, the scholar should not eat, the scholar should share the same cold and heat, the same toil and rest, the same joys and sorrows, the same dangers and misfortunes…
Don't be soft on your enemies, and be kind to the people.
Remember: All nations are diligent in protecting the country, and the three realms wish for peace. The whole world is red, and the outside world is blue..."
Although Song Jinxiu was speaking to her son, the following few words were full of spiritual power, and the ministers behind her and the soldiers under the city wall could hear them clearly.
Everyone was excited, this was their Majesty, she had a broad mind and the demeanor to rule the world. In her heart is not Cangwu, but the world's Cangwu...
The Crown Prince is leading the expedition with the best of the generation in the military academy, so the young men need to go and gain some experience.
Of course, Yiming, Wang Younian, Zhao 뀘 and other veterans also accompanied them, and Princess Annan and her horse had already arrived at the border waiting.
Also traveling with them were Prince Xiaoyao and his wife, as well as the Minister of Revenue Zhang Han and his elder brother Zhang Jinfan.
New generals are trained, and veterans escort them. This battle is not only about fighting, but also about the replacement of the old with the new, and the inheritance from generation to generation...
When the army went out to fight, the wife of the Marquis of Chengyun, holding her one-year-old baby, complained to her husband angrily:
"It's fine if the second son just follows suit, but his wife also follows suit. How old is this kid? She's really bold."
Now my mother-in-law is also pregnant, and there are so many old and young in this big family, and the second child just ran away like that.
Song Chun took the child, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Oh, I haven't seen it for a few days, and this child is heavy again."
The wife of the Marquis of Chengyun quickly took the child and glared at her husband in reproach.
"The child is still young, how can he weigh it like that?"
She gently pinched the child's face and said with a smile, "Yes, children grow up with the wind. This little one can eat, sleep and poop. Isn't it growing fast?"
Song Chun looked at his wife and said, "The second son has learned a lot of skills, but he wants to be a free and easy prince. He is afraid of delaying me. He also doesn't want to cause trouble for His Majesty. After all..."
After all, the identities of the four brothers and sisters of the Song family are too popular.
Even the Liu royal family did not have a prince who held real power.
And he is also the principal of the military academy.
My second sister is a princess with a fiefdom and real title, so I have to keep a low profile.
Madam Hou's eyes flickered, and she sighed, "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't care about these things."
Song Chun nodded, "Of course my elder sister doesn't care, but what would the Emperor and the Crown Prince think?"
He looked at the young child in his wife's arms with gentle eyes.
"Madam, we used to be farmers who could barely make ends meet. We have achieved this because of my eldest sister. We should be content and cherish our blessings!"
The wife of the Marquis of Chengyun also looked at the child, smiled gently, and said: "I understand, my second brother followed His Highness the Grand Duke, firstly to share His Highness's worries, and secondly to realize his ambitions. After this war is over, he will still be the dandy prince. As for my second brother's wife, I can understand that she is a daughter of a general..."
At this point, the couple looked at each other and smiled, "Don't worry, my husband. I'm here to take care of the family. The children are all in good health."
Song Chun: My eldest sister sends someone to deliver nutritional supplements every month. The children's bodies have been tempered since childhood, so there is really no need to worry about their health.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
"It's not hard. I do all these things willingly."
With my husband's words, no matter how hard life is, it's not bitter at all. I feel sweet in my heart. My husband said that we should learn to cherish our blessings.
