His Majesty once married me

Because of this, the initial blueprint that Ouyang drew for the Inner Court Secretary was "self-sufficiency" - no matter whether it can generate income or not, and how much it can generate, there should be no obvious surplus or loss in the books of the first three years - both will make courtiers Concern and even question the existence of the Inner Court Secretary. Only when there is no profit and no loss will the Inner Court Secretary's sense of presence in the court be reduced, and he will be as unobtrusive as possible.

Therefore, some agricultural and sideline products that are high in quality and cheap but not produced by ordinary people have become the first choice.

As the so-called scholars, farmers, and businessmen, if an emperor above the gentry goes into business, he will definitely be regarded as surrendering his status; but if he switches to farming, he will be praised as a model for the world.As for how the agricultural products from farming are transferred to the "business" road through the "industrial" route, human beings in this era seldom pay attention to it or even think that they should pay attention to it.

Qi Yunheng tried his best to wipe Ouyang's butt today, which made Ouyang very "moved".And what he can repay Qi Yunheng is to put more effort into the tasks he has already committed, and cause him as little trouble as possible.

As for the gift of the jade seal by chance, Ouyang had already forgotten about it.

Let's not say that this is a coincidence, even if it is not, he will not dare to repay the favor.

To show kindness to the emperor is to die.

Even if it is a favor, it can only let the emperor bestow favor on you.Don't do it the other way around, let him find out that you have kindness to him.What's even more impossible is to make him feel that you feel that you have kindness to him.

Once the last situation occurs, you are not far away from the destruction of your family and the death of your soul.

Ouyang looked at Qi Yunheng, waiting for him to ask about his detailed plan, but the two stared at each other for a while, and Qi Yunheng took the lead to look away.

"Actually, I don't know much about farming and even people's livelihood." Qi Yunheng smiled bitterly, not without embarrassment.

Qi Yunheng was born in the Duke's Mansion, and lived a life of wearing clothes, stretching out his hands to eat, and opening his mouth. Even when he was the most downcast, it was only spiritual, and he never set foot in the common people's business because of the difficult livelihood.

Ouyang was slightly startled, and then laughed, "The so-called people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, is actually just four words: eat enough and eat well. As long as you do these two things, the world will be peaceful for generations to come."

"The theory of double eaves is novel, interesting and simple." Qi Yunheng immediately became interested in exploring.

——It’s all about experience.

Ouyang thought this way, but he couldn't respond to Qi Yunheng like this.

"In my opinion, there are only two kinds of things in the world." Ouyang said, "One is too full and full; the other is not full and hungry. Most of the things in the court are the former; However, they basically fall into the latter category. It’s just that although I can see clearly, I can’t think of a solution. After all, starving the courtiers and feeding the people are eternal problems that have not yet been resolved. "

After finishing speaking, Ouyang spread his hands, as if helpless.

Qi Yunheng didn't answer right away, and repeated the words "eat enough and eat well" several times, and quickly raised his eyebrows: "I understand the meaning of double eaves. I have also experienced the feeling of hunger before. It is indeed easy for people to take risks and cause disasters.”

"Have you ever been hungry?" Ouyang was taken aback, and unconsciously changed the topic.

"During the war, there will inevitably be situations such as poor food supply and insufficient supply." Qi Yunheng nodded and said, "Even if there are no such situations, there will be times when there is no way to cook or no time to eat."

"Speaking of which, ever since Zhu Bian joined me, there have been a lot fewer things like eating three meals a day." Speaking of the battle, Qi Yunheng was a little bit unstoppable, and said, "Zhu Bian is actually an all-rounder. He is as good as a mouse in finding food. Even in the wilderness, he can dig three feet to find edible things. It is a pity that his temperament is somewhat similar to that of you. ... deviation, and he has the same self-knowledge of his own character as you, so he voluntarily abandoned the position of prime minister and went to work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which would allow him to expand his preferences."

"Hey——" Ouyang stared uncomfortably, "Comparing me with him, what do you mean? Wait, let me say, he didn't come up with the way you dealt with Concubine Sun's family, right?"

"Chongyan thinks this is not a good way to deal with it?" Qi Yunheng was a little surprised by Ouyang's reaction.

"It depends on the point of view." Ouyang curled his lips, "Anyway, in my opinion, this is simply a blunt knife cutting flesh, cruel, poisonous and insidious, and it hurts the family—of course, I have no right to laugh at others. .”

Ouyang never thinks that saving someone's life is kindness, nor does he think that stepping on the opponent in the mud is revenge, so he has always had only one way to deal with enemies, and that is to kill them all quickly.

In short, he will give his enemies a happy life, but he will never give him a way out.

But Qi Yunheng actually didn't know how many "bad" things Ouyang had done. He only knew that his enemies would often dig their own graves, either by inexplicable or sudden deaths, or by throwing themselves to death while walking on flat ground.In short, Ouyang's enemies will definitely die, but they will never and never have any evidential relationship with Ouyang, and Ouyang Ming's criminal record will always remain at the level of fighting and cursing in the street, which can be solved with money.

Of course Qi Yunheng had doubts, but he was blind before - the person I like is right in everything he does, and now he is even more pure than before. I just feel that Ouyang's method of eradicating dissidents is too simple and rude.

As for right and wrong, Qi Yunheng will not think about it at all.

It was also for this reason that Qi Yunheng didn't take Ouyang's complaints to heart, he just thought that he couldn't understand Zhu Bian's way of doing things, it was just that they had different ways and they didn't conspire with each other.

Ouyang didn't hold on to this matter, but silently added a label of "scourge" to Zhu Bian in his heart, and put a note of "Once provoked, he will be killed quickly".

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the rare sun was shining and the weather was fine and warm.

On this day, Ouyang led people to visit Huangzhuang again, and finally exchanged one of the Zhuangzi with the other that Qi Yunheng was planning to reward, and finalized the final area of ​​Huangzhuang.

But after the investigation, Ouyang did not return directly to the Summer Palace, but went back to his own mansion first by detour.

Of course, the butler Zhuang hasn't come back yet.

With today's means of transportation and road conditions, traveling thousands of miles a day can only be imagined in a dream.In reality, even with the help of spells, one must first consider the consequences of consuming a lot of spiritual power when continuing to travel.As for the legendary flying spells - in view of the richness of aura today, spells like flying to the sky and escaping from the ground are like airplane tanks without fuel. Even if you learn it, you can't use it.

Ouyang didn't go back to the mansion this time to inquire about the progress of the housekeeper Zhuang.

The reason why he came back was, on the one hand, to check on the situation in the mansion and see if Ou Jing was safe; on the other hand, he wanted to find Su Su and transport some fine-bred livestock to the capital through the channel in her hands.

As usual, Su Su, who never has nothing to do and hates the women in the mansion, is not in the mansion.

Ouyang first met with Ou Jing, and chatted for a while about the current situation in the mansion, before Su Sucai hurried back.

As soon as Su Su entered, Ou Jing got up and avoided going out, not even giving Su Su a look as she passed by.

Su Su ignored her, sat down next to Ouyang, and complained directly, "Your niece has probably reached puberty, and she has been a bit rebellious recently."

"What did she do?" Ouyang asked.

"I went out more and more, and made some inexplicable friends." Su Su complained, "I told her that a woman who still goes out to hang out during Chinese New Year is not a good family, so she just hit me with a teacup. "

"Who told you to scold her together." Ouyang rolled his eyes, resisting not to say the words "you deserve it", and just said calmly, "It's okay. Don't worry about good friends, bad friends, you have to go first Make friends, and then you can know what a friend is. As a human, you have to suffer a few times to grow up."

"Aren't you afraid that something will happen to her? She's a girl!" Su Su's eyes widened.

"Aren't Nanny Bai and Xiaoqing always by her side?" Ouyang said indifferently, "Since neither of them came to complain to me, it means that Jing'er is still guarding her senses, and she's not the one to worry about." point."

Nanny Bai and Xiaoqing are the female guards that Ouyang arranged next to Ou Jing as maidservants. Although they are not demon practitioners, they have rich experience and extraordinary skills, which are enough to deal with ordinary humans with evil intentions.

"Whatever you want, anyway, that's your niece, not mine." Seeing Ouyang's answer like this, Su Su gave up meddling.

"Let's talk about serious business." Ouyang didn't want to talk about daughter scriptures with Su Su, so he knocked on the table and said, "I took over Qi Yunheng's internal treasury and planned to build an institution similar to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The name is Inner Court Secretary, start some royal business."

"Inner Court Secretary?" Upon hearing the name, Su Su laughed out loud, "Who came up with the name? Eunuch?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't." Ouyang glared at her angrily, "What you have to do is to bring over some dairy cows, farm cattle and domestic pigs, and then have people bring in some grain and vegetable seeds from nearby villages. , I will list the specific types and quantities for you."

"It's a trivial matter." Su Su nodded in response, "That's all? Don't I need to assign some people to support you?"

"One yard is one yard. You are making money for me, and you have no obligation to work for him." Ouyang shook his head, "Besides, what he needs most is manpower. It all depends on how to use it and whether it will be used."

Su Su shrugged, nothing more.

Ouyang asked her to transport more salt and sugar to the capital in the second half of the year—the supplies for the first half of the year are already on the way, and then buy a batch of wool or live sheep from the north.

"No cotton?" Su Su asked, "The cotton fields in the northwest have been in mass production for several years. When they contacted me last time, they told me that they would start to consider clearing the inventory."

"What is needed now is peace, not war." Ouyang said.

"Your words have something to do with what I just said?" Su Su was confused.

Ouyang sighed, "Do you think, if the court has cotton, where will it be used first?"

"Welfare for officials?" Su Su blinked, "It will definitely not be used on ordinary people first, I know that."

"Northern battlefield." Ouyang rolled her eyes back, "Once you have cotton, which is far cheaper than fur to keep out the cold, and can be planted in spring and harvested in autumn like food, even if Qi Yunheng doesn't want to, a general who has just tasted the sweetness from the war They will definitely clamor to take the north in one fell swoop, and use the achievements of opening up the territory to exchange for the glory of the hereditary. But it is not only the generals who need to fight the war. It is ordinary soldiers and ordinary people who really shed blood and sweat on the battlefield.

"Now that the world has been settled, everyone feels that they can finally live a peaceful life. The common people only want to live and work in peace and recuperate, and the soldiers also want to return to their hometown, marry wives and have children. At this time, if the emperor starts to recruit troops to fight again, start a war The war between the two countries is destined to be protracted and it is not known whether it can be won. What will the people think and what will the soldiers do? In this state of confrontation and different attitudes, troops will be sent to fight—even if they win in the end , and it is destined to be a tragic victory." Ouyang sighed, "By then, Qi Yunheng's dragon chair will not be able to sit still."
