Stay with me, I rely on the childbearing system to get pregnant and dote on me alone

On this first question, Lin Qinglan was speechless.

She was no longer as relaxed and content as she was at the beginning, but her eyebrows were tightened, ready for Cha Jiu's second question.

"My second question is about the issue of border defense." Cha Jiu said slowly: "Businessmen want to make profits. If we don't implement official policies to control salt and iron, allowing them to spend a lot of money to buy in large quantities, develop their power and threaten border defense, what will happen? how?"

If the first question involves superficial monetary issues.

Then the second question is a deeper issue of national stability.

After hearing this, Lin Qinglan's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

Fortunately.

She had heard her father, Taishi Lin, discuss this issue with many literary figures and celebrities at an elegant banquet at home.

These literary giants are all writers and writers, and their thoughts stand at the pinnacle of this era. Naturally, their solutions to border defense problems are also exquisite and original.

Therefore, in order to win over Cha Jiu, Lin Qinglan simply gave up independent thinking and directly used their point of view to answer: "Of course, it is to implement benevolent government and make the foreigners surrender."

Chajiu smiled, took another sip of tea, and said slowly, "I would like to hear the details."

Yelu Zongzheng felt that Xiao Shunzi's frequent visits disturbed him and Chajiu, so he took the teapot and filled the teacup with his own hands.

Very attentive attitude.

Not at all like a high and mighty king.

On the surface, Lin Qinglan quoted classics and talked eloquently.

In fact, it is just picking up other people's wisdom and mechanically repeating other people's opinions.

"...So if our government can delegate the power to the private sector of salt and iron and trade with them, so that the people of foreign races can live and work in peace and contentment like ours, then they will naturally be sincere and submit to our government."

"What's more, the Central Plains has always advocated the rule of virtue to conquer people, and resorting to violence is something only uncivilized barbarians like to do..."

Lin Qinglan didn't find anything wrong when she said this.

It wasn't until Yelu Zongzheng cast an indifferent but cold look at her that she suddenly woke up like a thunderbolt.

Those literary figures and celebrities were all men of letters, and when discussing politics in private, they naturally criticized the use of military force.

But Yelv Zongzheng himself was a model of extreme military force. He relied on 30,000 soldiers and horses to annex the surrounding small tribes, and then invaded the Central Plains and proclaimed himself emperor.

She is now criticizing the barbarians in public for their militancy.

Isn't it just pointing at Yelu Zongzheng's nose and calling him a barbarian?

Suddenly, Lin Qinglan's face turned white and she became silent, her back felt cold, and her body under the gorgeous robe could not stop trembling!

In one word, let alone not being able to become a queen, I’m afraid all the heads will be lost!

Fortunately, Yelu Zongzheng didn't intend to care about it.

On the one hand, in order to open up a wide range of opinions, he did tacitly allow talented people to freely discuss politics without being easily punished.

Secondly, today is a day for him and Yan Yang to go out and relax. There is no need to waste time and energy on unnecessary people.

As for Lin Qinglan...

Yelu Zongzheng had already kicked her out of the list of candidates for the queen.

Therefore, during the following debate, he did not look at this woman again.

Lin Qinglan was so frightened and uneasy because of her slip of the tongue that she didn't even hear what Cha Jiu said clearly. Naturally, she couldn't respond and was quickly defeated.

At this time, her back was soaked, and all her confidence and arrogance were gone.

And Cha Jiu also raised the last question - what if private policies are adopted and local aristocratic families amass wealth and separatist forces rebel?

The last question was even more pointed, and only forced the conflict between the family and the monarchy.

This time, Lin Qinglan didn’t answer, nor did she not answer.

Having said this, if she continues to support private policy, she will be supporting the rise of the family, supporting the rebellion, and going against His Majesty.

But if she gave up, she would be admitting in public that she lost to Cha Jiu.

In a dilemma, Lin Qinglan's face became extremely ugly.

But everyone present was not stupid, and they had already seen that the outcome was already decided.

Chajiu slowly came to his final conclusion: "So I say you are narrow-minded because you only see whether farmers have access to farm tools, whether officials are greedy, and whether people can quickly accumulate wealth... But what I see is, It is the overall management of the Yuan Kingdom, the stability of the border defense and state capital, and whether His Majesty can sit back and relax."

This is also the most fatal flaw in Lin Qinglan’s entire political discussion.

She stood from the perspective of common people and aristocratic families, but she did not stand from the perspective of His Majesty.

But the world is your Majesty's after all. No matter how good the prosperous times are, it must belong to Yelu Zongzheng to be meaningful.

Cha Jiu couldn't have made it clearer.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Qinglan couldn't help but admit defeat.

She forced a smile on her face and pretended to be cool: "Young Master, I am the one who lost."

Chajiu didn't care whether she was sincere or not, so he responded perfunctorily and sat down on his own.

Yelu Zongzheng sat quietly aside, but his burning eyes never left the little champion next to him for a moment.

Chajiu said so much just now.

But the only thing that echoed in his ears was that last sentence.

——Let His Majesty sit back and relax.

Not for the court, not for the people.

Yan Yang worked hard and far-sighted on political affairs, just to alleviate his worries.

Thinking about this, how could Yelu Zongzheng be unhappy?

His usually hard and cold defense cracked through small cracks, and the petite figure in the blue brocade robe turned into a wisp of breeze, seeping into it densely.

"Ding!" the system prompted Chajiu, "Yelu Zongzheng's favorability score has reached 40%!"

Added a full ten points of favorability.

It seems that this incognito private tour was worth it.

Cha Jiu is satisfied.

She held the hot tea in both hands and sipped it, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly with contentment, the ends of her eyes were reddish from the heat mist, and her pink tongue gently licked the moist spring petals.

The gesture of his daughter that was inadvertently revealed by this action made Yelu Zongzheng, who was already distracted, even darker.

Chajiu didn't seem to notice.

Just as this charming atmosphere was spreading, a person came forward to chat.

It was Li Yuanlang, the concubine of the Ministry of Finance.

"My Excellency, Li Yuanlang, I just saw that this young master knows the household statistics by heart and is very quick in mental arithmetic. I really admire him. I wonder if I am lucky enough to get to know him?"

Li Yuanlang himself was a prodigy in arithmetic, so he naturally sympathized with others of his kind.

Chajiu thought for a while, now is the time for the Yuan Dynasty to employ people. If a genius like Li Yuanlang can serve for the Ministry of Household Affairs, it will be even more powerful for the court.

It’s okay to get acquainted and examine their character.

So she met Li Yuanlang's gaze and smiled back: "Of course you can, congratulations..."

"gone."

Yelu Zongzheng's cold voice suddenly came from beside him.

Chajiu was slightly startled. Before he could react, Yelu Zongzheng grabbed his wrist and stood up to leave the table.

Li Yuanlang was also stunned: "Master, you haven't told me yet..."

As he spoke, he followed a few steps to try to stay, but was shocked by the cold and solemn gaze from the emperor, which made his heart shrink and his footsteps immediately stopped in place.

The unfinished words were swallowed back into the stomach.

Forget it.

It's important to make friends.

But life is more important.

Until he got on the carriage, Yelu Zongzheng's displeasure did not ease.

He asked in a casual tone: "That Li Yuanlang just now, are you very interested in him?"

What kind of question is this?

Cha Jiu was surprised and replied: "I just saw that he has extraordinary talent in arithmetic, and I was wondering if I could recruit him to relieve His Majesty."

Yelu Zongzheng's face looked better now.

However, he seemed to have no interest in Li Yuanlang: "There is no need to recruit this person."

Cha Jiu was confused: "Why?"

Yelu Zongzheng snorted coldly: "He doesn't know how to wink, and it's annoying to him."
