Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

The spring breeze blew the willow branches soft, Xiao Yu picked up a weeping willow branch and carefully looked at the light yellow leaves on the green-brown branch.The willow trees in Jianye are all sprouting, the spring breeze must have blown across the Yellow River, and the ice and snow in the north have begun to melt.

As the weather warms up and the last nets are collected, the dust is about to settle.

Footsteps came from behind, Xiao Yu didn't turn his head, the footsteps were fast and light, no need to think, it must be that kid Aping.

"Daddy!" Sure enough, Ah Ping's voice rang out. He had entered the period of voice change, and his voice was a little hoarse, like a male duck's voice. Such a talkative child didn't speak much in front of outsiders. Only in front of Xiao Yu, he still He chirped and quacked like a child.

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at his son who was almost as tall as his own, with a gratified smile on his face: "Where did you pick the peach blossoms?"

A Ping is in the puberty period, with a slender figure, and the childish baby fat on his face is gradually fading, and the outline gradually appears. He is an extremely handsome boy, who is five points similar to Xiao Yu, but with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he is more heroic.

He held two half-bloomed peach blossoms in his hand, and showed them to Xiao Yu as if offering treasures: "Is it good to see? It's the peach tree outside the palace wall. The fruit it bears is bitter and astringent, extremely unpalatable, and its greatest use It’s spring flowers that are eye-catching. I’ll go and plant them for daddy.”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Go back and find a tender branch of a peach plant and graft it, maybe it will be delicious."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, who still remembers that he was a doctor of agriculture.Now his career has successors, and new hybrid rice appears almost every two years, and the highest yield per mu has exceeded [-] jin.

Without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the upper limit of production is there.But it is enough. There are less than tens of millions of people in total. In such a big country, it is enough to grow whatever you want.

A Ping glanced in the direction of the peach tree, and said, "But we shouldn't be here next year."

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback: "That's right, I'll be in Chang'an next year. But I'm not sure, there are better peaches in Chang'an."

A Ping smiled: "Daddy is right!"

The father and son walked back slowly, and A Ping said: "Today, Min Shangshu took the school exam, and how should Dong Rong be governed after it is recovered. Daddy, how is Dong Rong's recovery going? Is there any good news ahead?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "Not yet. It should be because the troops have not been dispatched yet, and the north is colder than the south. It must have just thawed at this time, and it will take some time. How do you answer Shang Shu?"

A Ping said: "Daddy once taught me that the climate in the north is completely different from that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the products are not the same. Naturally, we have to adapt to local conditions. The north is dry and cannot grow rice, so we can grow wheat. The north is flat and vast, and livestock can also be raised. Then the horses will be self-sufficient."

A gratified smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face, and he said, "If you want to adapt measures to local conditions, that's pretty good."

A Ping said earnestly: "Baby, it's just a general idea, and I can't consider the specific governance plan. I don't know much about the north. Didn't my father always tell me that what is done on paper is always superficial, and I don't know that this matter needs to be practiced. After moving to Chang'an in the future, we can have a more specific plan after field research."

"That's right! Governance must be based on the actual situation of the local area, and one-size-fits-all lazy governance cannot be implemented." Xiao Yu patted his son on the shoulder. Conquering the world is easy, but governing the world is difficult. I hope that Ah Ping can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and keep his feet on the ground. , to govern the world well.

"My child remembers."

Sitting behind the case, Xiao Yu watched A Ping carefully insert the peach blossoms, carefully wiped off the water on the bottle, put it on the desk, and asked casually, "Daddy, when will we move the capital? When the master comes back, we will move the capital." ?"

Xiao Yu said: "Depending on the situation, if things go well, it will be at least four or five months before your master comes back. After tidying up, we have to wait until autumn cools down before leaving."

A smile appeared on Aping's face: "Then there is still half a year left."

"Yes. Ah Ping doesn't want to move?" Xiao Yu noticed the expression on his son's face.

A Ping shook his head quickly: "No, the boy is also looking forward to moving. Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and our Da'an will be as strong as the Han Dynasty, no, it will be stronger."

Xiao Yu was very satisfied when he heard this: "You have such ambition, that's really great. We, father and son, will work together to build Da'an into a great and powerful country, to create a peaceful and prosperous world, and let all nations come to court."

A Ping's eyes sparkled, and he nodded vigorously: "Well, the boy will work hard."

Xiao Yu changed the subject: "However, we have lived in Jianye for many years, and I am a little bit reluctant to move out. You are not reluctant?" After speaking, he glanced sideways at his son.

A Ping touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a little bit reluctant."

"You have been living in Jianye since you can remember. You have lived in Jianye for more than ten years. It is normal to be reluctant. In the past few months, get along with your friends and classmates and say goodbye." Xiao Yu said.

Ah Ping suddenly became depressed: "I will."

Xiao Yu said again: "You don't have many chances to return to Jianye in the future, but your friends can go to Chang'an, there is still a chance to meet them."

Ah Ping sighed: "But they may not necessarily move with them."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "They can come to Chang'an to take the selection exam."

A Ping blurted out: "But she's a aunt—" He stopped abruptly, his face flushed immediately, even his ears were a little red.

Xiao Yu squinted at his son, did he already have a girl he liked at such a young age?Not bad, stronger than yourself.

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "By the way, Ah Ping will be fourteen this year. In a few years, he will reach the age of starting a family and starting a business. If there is a girl he likes, how about Daddy making a marriage for you?"

A Ping's ears turned red all of a sudden: "Don't make fun of the child, Daddy, I'm still young."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I'm a little younger now, but I don't want to get married right now. If you don't have a girl you like, forget it. Let's choose slowly when you arrive in Chang'an in the future. You must find someone who is both talented and beautiful. An intimate woman will do."

After hearing this, Ah Ping muttered for a long time before whispering, "Daddy, if I get married in the future, will Daddy have any demands on his daughter-in-law?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I can't tell you the specific requirements, but first of all, it must be what you like, and secondly, the girl must be of good character and talent."

"There is no requirement for family background?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Your father and I have devoted our entire lives to breaking the monopoly of powerful families, how can we judge by family background. But there are still certain requirements, at least in-laws must not commit crimes, this is the most basic bottom line .”

Ah Ping laughed when he heard this: "Thank you, Daddy!"

Xiao Yu teased him: "If Ah Ping has a girl he likes, why not hire her as soon as possible."

A Ping blushed and waved his hands: "No, no!"

Xiao Yu guessed that he was embarrassed, so he said: "I advocate equality between men and women. In recent years, more and more women have become officials. The girl's family may not be able to go to Chang'an. I hope that the woman Ah Ping will marry in the future will be courageous and capable." Talented, she is a new school girl."

The imperial court vigorously advocated equality between men and women, encouraged women to go to school, enter official positions, and leave the boudoir, and tried their best to arrange jobs for women.

Women's publications were also booming, and more and more women were liberated from the boudoir to go to school, become officials, become teachers, write articles, and work.

These women who actively stepped out of the boudoir and participated in the liberation activities are called new women.

The appearance of the new school girl seemed like a spring breeze, wrinkling the calm lake surface, which aroused great repercussions.

More and more women realize that women can do what men do.What a temptation this is for women who have been trapped in the house, so more and more women are starting to fight and fight for their freedom.

Of course, everything has two sides. If someone encourages it, someone will naturally criticize it.

Since Xiao Yu proposed to liberate women, there have been frequent voices of opposition, not only voices from the people, but even ministers who spoke out in court.

Although Xiao Yu will not fully accept the suggestions of the officials, he will not anger the other party because of disagreement, nor will he make people shut up just because he doesn't like to hear it. The atmosphere in the court has always been inclusive and open. They all said when they had an idea, as to whether to adopt it or not, that was Xiao Yu's business.

The conservatives opposed the emancipation of women, and believed that women's going out of the boudoir completely violated the etiquette of women's "three obediences and four virtues".Since ancient times, the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. Only when Yin and Yang are reconciled can the family and everything prosper. When a woman walks out of the boudoir, big things will happen sooner or later.

Xiao Yu wanted to roll his eyes at this statement, but he just heard it.This so-called family harmony is nothing more than making women bear the burden of humiliation, silently contributing and making sacrifices for men and the family, but it completely kills the possibility for women to create their own and social value.

Emancipating women is a long process, but at least we must persist in doing it. In the future, the woman A Ping marries must be a new-style woman, and the empress of a country will take the lead in demonstrating. This kind of persuasion may be more effective than issuing several imperial edicts.

At the beginning of March, Xiao Yu received the battle report, and Pei Linzhi finally started to send troops to Jinyang, and told him that Ji Hai had successfully captured Youzhou, the mouth of the Yellow River was under control, the surface of the Yellow River had thawed, and ships could pass through.

This is undoubtedly great news. Originally, after the Yellow River thawed, it was not conducive to food delivery, and Xiao Yu was worried that the logistics supply would not be able to keep up. Now this problem has been solved.

Now grain can be transported directly from the sea to the mouth of the Yellow River, and then upstream, to the hands of soldiers.Originally, grain and grass were sent from Lingnan and Yazhou, transported to the Yangtze River, and then headed north by land.Now they can go straight to their destination and send grain and grass directly across the Yellow River.

At the end of March, Xiao Yu received an urgent news of victory, and the An army won a complete victory.Dongrong Emperor Yuan Song committed suicide and died. Murong Gan and Pei Linzhi fought again. Murong Gan fought to the last moment, and finally fell off his horse and died from exhaustion.So far, Dong Rong has been completely defeated.
