Chapter 1271: The Brain is a Treasure
Because this is the first issue, Zhou Shuren was the one who proposed it, and the eldest son-in-law's articles and paintings were directly used. In the future, the eldest son-in-law must work hard on his own. He can build ladders and pave roads for his children, but he will not pull his children along. The rest depends on themselves.
Rongchuan stretched his waist lazily, "Dad, Mingyun and Jiangdu are about to return to their hometown."
Zhou Shuren, "It should be here soon."
Rongchuan actually wanted to sit for a while longer, but unfortunately he couldn't, as he still had a lot of errands to attend to. The leap he made was too big, with a change in his status and the errands he was exposed to. His father hoped that he would become his eldest brother's right-hand man as soon as possible, and the emperor thought the same way, so he was assigned errands one after another. Status represents responsibility, and now he has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Seeing his son-in-law's tired look, Zhou Shuren said, "Don't work too hard. It's most important for you to stay young and healthy."
Rongchuan felt warm inside. Now only his father-in-law wanted him to rest more. "Dad, I will."
Zhou Shuren thought for a moment, then stood up and took out some tea from the drawer. "This is what Lord Li gave me. Take it back."
After sending it away, I felt a pain in my heart. This was the tea that Li Zhao had hidden away.
Rong Chuan was surprised, "Dad."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Don't you want it?"
Rong Chuan quickly hugged her in his arms, "Yes, yes, Dad, I'm leaving now."
He left so quickly, fearing that his father would go back on his word. Rongchuan was really excited. His father was such a kind person, yet he gave him such good tea. The box that contained the tea looked very valuable.
Zhou Shuren extended his hand slowly, sat back in his seat, covered his chest with his hands, feeling pain in his flesh. God knows how this box of tea was taken from Li Zhao's hands, he drank it just once and it was all gone. His left hand hit his right hand, asking you to be generous.
Qiu Yan came in, confused, and asked Jianyan, "What happened to your parents?"
Jinyan's eyes were full of smiles, "My Lord, you regret it!"
Qiu Yan was confused as he heard this. He came in holding a folder and said, "Here are the numbers that were calculated. Take a look."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to do the job at all now, so he just hummed.
Qiu Yan sat down and said, "After the New Year, the other departments have also changed a lot. I have to say, the efficiency is much faster now. It was so slow before that I was anxious when I saw it."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, you and I have been partners for a long time, and you have long been accustomed to high efficiency, "but it's still not up to par!"
Qiu Yan, "This is already good. The other ministries are not like the Ministry of Revenue, which has the foundation you laid. It is already very good to be able to change to this level after the year."
Zhou Shuren thought about how busy other departments were after the New Year, and he felt better.
A few days later, Rongchuan's work efficiency was extremely high, and he was a typical man of action. In just a few days, the publicity had begun in the capital, and several nearby states had also received promotional paintings and articles. Some distant states would have to wait for some time.
The publicity effect was particularly good. The paintings were placed in glass frames and hung on several city gates and places with the largest traffic. Without the publicity, no one would know how much the lives of the people had changed.
People living near the capital have changed a lot, but that does not represent all of them. People living in the capital naturally have a sense of superiority and think they have the best lives.
Now that the news has been publicized, we realize that the lives of not only the people in the capital, but also the people in other states have changed a lot.
In ancient times, the most intuitive way to tell whether a person was living a good life was to look at their children. If a person had many children and raised them well, then his life must be good.
Jiang Sheng's paintings are particularly realistic, and the children's expressions are very detailed.
The propaganda results were very good. There was a lot of discussion in the capital, and the people lived a good life, which demonstrated the prosperity and strength of the country.
Foreigners only go to big cities and not to the countryside. They also discussed the capital city, where there are the most foreigners.
It would be a lie for these nobles to say that they did not understand how the people of their own country lived. Some foreigners also questioned this and planned to send people to take a look themselves.
When the news came back, the foreigners were silent.
The emperor and the emperor emeritus sat together, looking at the summarized news. This news was collected by spies in teahouses, markets and other places. This was the voice of the people.
The emperor read every word carefully, and became more and more pleased. Although he knew that some bad comments were not made, the good voices outweighed the bad ones. Seeing the people happy for the prosperity of the country, the emperor finished reading with a feeling of unsatisfied and said, "What's wrong with Zhou Shuren's brain?"
The emperor also sighed, "So his brain is the real treasure."
If Zhou Shuren knew, haha, after experiencing the modern information explosion, his brain would be very good.
The emperor said: "This is just the beginning. The country is not yet strong enough."
The Emperor waved his beads, "Your Majesty, please be aware that the states are lying and making false reports in order to gain fame. This must not start."
The emperor took it to heart and said, "My son understands."
Each state is far away from the capital, and there are too many local tyrants in each state, making information exchange inconvenient. Many people conceal or do not report things. The first thing he will do after taking over the throne is to burn away these unhealthy tendencies.
The Emperor was very satisfied with the Emperor's performance after he succeeded to the throne. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good job after you succeeded to the throne. I am relieved to leave the country to you."
The new emperor could hardly hide his excitement; this was the first time his father had directly praised him since he ascended the throne.
When the retired emperor saw that his son was happy because of his praise, a smile appeared on his face. Even though his son became emperor, he was still a father.
The court's propaganda directly suppressed the gossip about the princess's marriage. So what if the princess was as beautiful as a fairy? It had nothing to do with ordinary people like them. The strength of the country was closely related to them.
Only after the imperial court publicized the news would the people know clearly the news from various states instead of just focusing on the small piece of land in front of them. In ancient times when there was no entertainment, this was a big deal and would make the people talk about it over and over again for a month or so.
And at this time, the ceremony of establishing the crown prince was held. It was right to establish a crown prince as the foundation of the country, just like announcing the successor to the whole country. At this time, the cohesion of the country was unprecedentedly high.
Even though Zhulan didn't go out into the streets, she could hear the excitement on the streets. The enthronement of the crown prince was celebrated throughout the country, and every street and alley in the capital was cheering for the establishment of the crown prince.
Zhulan curled her lips and said, "This is a good start. The future will be even better."
Zhao looked at her mother-in-law. She had not been educated before and was smart but narrow-minded. She had to figure out everything on her own and was short-sighted. Later, her mother-in-law taught her and she studied hard. She found truth and a broad world in books, and her horizons gradually broadened.
Only then did I realize how powerful my mother-in-law really is. Her words are all truth and the summary of life.
Zhao admired her mother-in-law. When she heard her mother-in-law's words, Zhao also smiled and said, "The future will be better."
Zhulan stared at Zhao. Why do people say that people should study? Zhao is an example. Women in ancient times should also want men to study more. "We will be moving in a few days. Have you packed up your rooms?"
There were too many things in each room, and each room had its own warehouse. Even if there were many servants, it would take some days to count all the scattered things.
Li and several of her brothers and sisters-in-law looked at each other and saw the headache in each other's eyes. It was really a headache. When they were saving the family assets, they didn't feel anything and looked very satisfied. They really took the list and counted them one by one. Haha, only the headache was left.
Especially Li, the eldest wife has many children, and she likes to collect things, so she had a headache just starting to count them.
Su Xuan had too much dowry, so cleaning the warehouse was not easy.
Comparatively speaking, Zhao was much better, as he was a thoughtful person.
