A Timely Wife

After lunch, Steward Zhang and Nanny He sent Li Ruosong and Chengdong outside the door, and Feng Bao took the caravan to sea again, and he didn't know when he would come back. The silver is enough for the Southern Chu court to use it for ten years, and the huge profits make many people envious. More and more people want to get involved in overseas trade, and they are trying their best to drag Feng Bao from the position of team leader. About Feng Bao Bao's notebooks can be piled up to ten meters high, and Xiong Ruoshan always puts these notebooks aside and ignores them.

These people don't know Feng Bao's identity. Feng Bao was very young when he followed Prince Zhong, and Prince Zhong rarely let him appear in front of others. When doing things with Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong, he never wore a servant Clothes, so these people are just wondering why Xiong Ruoshan trusts Feng Bao so much, but they don’t think that Xiong Ruoshan has no reason not to trust Feng Bao. Even if Feng Bao moves a Jinshan home, it’s useless. Outside, when they returned to Nanchu, they would go home directly to accompany Steward Zhang and Nanny He, or they would come to report some overseas experiences to Xiong Ruoshan, and the things they bought were either to show filial piety to their adoptive father and mother, or to bring them to other people. Gifts, gold and silver, etc., he himself will not have children, so he doesn't know who to save them for.

What's more, for Feng Bao, things like gold and silver are not as good as what he has now. The general leader of an overseas caravan has status and dignity. No matter who sees him, he will be polite Call him Mr. Feng, Xiong Ruoshan is not a stingy emperor, every time he comes back he gives him a lot of rewards, plus the salaries of members of their overseas caravans are not low. It is not a person who is short of money. On the contrary, the kind of satisfaction he obtained in his heart is beyond his imagination when he was a servant. Feng Bao is not stupid. If he really messes with gold and silver, what he has now Everything will soon disappear without a trace, and he prefers the decency he has now to the money he has nowhere to spend when he is alive.

Xiong Ruoshan is an emperor that many courtiers have no way to understand. In the past, the emperors of Dachu would open up their harems. On the one hand, it was to increase the population of the royal family. The relationship between important ministers is different for Xiong Ruoshan. He does not get married, does not draft, and does not weigh the relationship between courtiers. The Li family is obedient, no matter how many people try to provoke the relationship between Xiong Ruoshan and the Li family, it is useless. The Li family is still the whole family and they all stay in the most critical positions, even Li Qi is old. After stepping back, he can still take care of education.

This is an incredible thing to many courtiers. They feel completely incomprehensible, where does this trust come from? It belongs to the Xiong family, even if there are disputes between brothers and sisters in the family, there is no reason why the two families are so close. If the Li family has a daughter or even a twin, they can understand it, but the Li family has a clean water. He is a man, without even a pair of children. Under the circumstances that the Li family can't become the uncle of the country, they really can't figure out how the Li family can obtain such a special status.

The thing that Xiong Ruoshan confuses these ministers the most is that this person is extremely unwilling to be the emperor, and he always wants to give the throne to his younger brother, not only at the beginning of his ascension As the emperor's younger brother, after only a few years of hard work, I want to give up my pick and quit. I don't know what is going on in this person's mind. If you really don't want to do it at all, then you don't want to do anything It's all done well, so that they are useless at all, and they look very incompetent. It feels like, you have worked so hard to touch a little bit of things, and they will get it done lightly. Yes, the stuffy feeling of wanting to vomit blood cannot be understood by anyone who does not have the same feeling.

For ministers, the emperor who wants something is a very controllable emperor. If you like beautiful women, you can give him beautiful women; if you like money, you can give him money; If you want to leave a name in history, you let him leave his name in history. As an emperor, as long as he has something he wants, he will rely on their courtiers. At that time, they can be useful as courtiers. There is a very important thing for a courtier, which is to figure out the Sacred Heart, and then do what he likes. If he is appreciated by the emperor, he can rise to the top, and if he is loved by the emperor, he can become an excellent minister, but when it comes to Xiong Ruoshan, these things are completely useless. They don't know what Xiong Ruoshan likes at all. They don't like women. They can give Shuang'er, but they are not interested in Shuang'er. It is very clear how much gold and silver the overseas caravan sent to Xiong Ruoshan into the national treasury, but unfortunately, they have never known how much tax revenue enters the national treasury every year, because the Ministry of Accounting has been firmly held by Xiong Ruoshan, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Accounting is a person no matter what. A stubble that won't even ask.

He doesn't like beauties, he doesn't like money, he doesn't need a good reputation, and he doesn't care whether he has martial arts or not. Such an emperor who has no desires and desires makes these ministers want to cry. The reason why they choose to form a party is just because of Xiong Ruoshan is too difficult to deal with. Those of them who can get to where they are today have nothing to say. Xiong Ruoshan's action in the court made these courtiers have a very deep sense of crisis. They always have a sense of crisis. Xiong Ruoshan had a premonition that he would strike at them at some point, and thinking of the multiple guarantees of multiple allies, these people began to spontaneously form alliances one after another, trying to resist Xiong Ruoshan's liquidation.

Li Ruosong had foreseen this situation when Xiong Ruoshan began to rectify the atmosphere in the court. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. These ministers' hands are not clean. When most of them are not clean, they will choose to let others follow The same as yourself, so that you can have the handle to threaten others, so that you can protect your own interests. It is not that the emperors of all dynasties are not clear about the tricks in this, but the emperor is too dependent on his courtiers, and even has to open up the harem and divide the imperial concubine. The way to balance the relationship between the previous dynasty, let alone to suppress the important officials in the court, almost every emperor who reused the eunuch party was to be able to suppress the important officials and prevent the important officials from controlling the government. The power of the courtiers threatens the imperial power, so they do everything possible to toss the courtiers. They are happy to see these courtiers attacking me today and I attacking you tomorrow.

Chengdong once reminded Xiong Ruoshan that some things should not be rushed, otherwise it will cause a very violent rebound, but Xiong Ruoshan is still too young. Thinking of solving the accumulated disadvantages quickly, but forgetting that the centipede is dead but not stiff, these courtiers have never been soft-hearted people. When they are weak, of course they dare not say anything to the emperor, but Once these courtiers have the upper hand, the imperial power is nothing in their eyes.

So no matter whether it is Li Ruosong or Chengdong, they are trying to persuade Xiong Ruoshan to proceed slowly in everything. Unfortunately, Xiong Ruoshan hurried Li Ruosong and Chengdong to analyze the things in detail on the way home. After hearing this, Chengdong couldn't help laughing, and said to Li Ruosong: "This kid is indeed my aunt's son. He is usually silent and low-key. When others find out that something is wrong with him, he has already grasped the situation very well. Let others have no chance of turning things around, yes, if it wasn't for my aunt who was tolerant, low-key, and smart enough back then, there would be nothing wrong with this kid now."

Li Ruosong said with a half-smile: "This is like our Li family, but the ability to even plan for the family is very similar to their Xiong family."

Cheng Dong patted Li Ruosong, and said, "Nonsense, it's because he believes in you as an elder brother to do this. It's unreasonable for you to say that."

Li Ruosong shrugged, held Chengdong's hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, if Ruoshan wasn't in that position, I wouldn't bother to take care of these things. Let's go home. In the evening, we will give our grandparents, parents and those two children The debt collectors cook a meal, and let them taste our craftsmanship."
