As soon as Liu Mingzhi sat down, Qi Yun and the other girls were not polite and casually knelt down and sat on the expensive velvet blanket spread around the stove.
The Queen had a big belly that was about to give birth, so she could only walk to the chair where Young Master Liu was sitting just now and sit down. She glanced at Young Master Liu and pretended to lick her fingernails, which had no trace of dirt.
Many children were directly pushed to the edge, snickering and looking at their helpless father.
With each other's mother and many aunts here, it would be absolutely impossible for dad to get angry today.
My mother and most of my aunts will not talk to each other. Only the gentle and virtuous Aunt Ya will come forward. No matter how angry my father is, he will be extinguished by 30% in an instant.
The little cutie and the others didn't know the purpose of Young Master Liu calling them to the study. They thought that their father was going to settle the score again for what happened in the Ten Kings Palace!
Young Master Liu used a pair of fire tongs to move the carpet aside, then turned his head and glanced at the beauties who were kneeling in a circle around him, but all of them were silent.
"It's not easy for me to get you all together on weekdays. Why are you so free today? You all rushed to my husband's study together uninvited?"
When Young Master Liu asked this question, his eyes kept scanning the faces of Qi Ya and the Queen sisters.
He didn't need to think carefully to know that the reason why Qi Yun and the other sisters gathered together had something to do with these two sisters.
Either Qi Ya revealed what happened to Yue'er and the others in the Palace of Ten Kings, or the Queen revealed that she wanted Cheng Zhi and the others to travel thousands of miles.
Qi Yun, the eldest wife, hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and looked at her husband: "Husband, I heard that you don't plan to let Chengzhi and the others celebrate the New Year at home. You want them to pay a private visit incognito and patrol the sky on their behalf.
Yes or no? "
Qi Yun's words made many of Mr. Liu's children stunned for a moment. They looked at their father's back in confusion. For a moment, they didn't realize what Mother Yun meant by these words.
Major General Liu gently stuffed the remaining half piece of pastry into Liu Yunxin's mouth, patted the residue on his palm, looked around at the beauties around him and nodded.
"My husband originally planned to make arrangements with a few children first and then inform you. Since you have learned the news in advance from Wanyuan's mouth, it doesn't matter, everyone happens to be here, so I will speak out.
My husband really plans to let several children experience the suffering of the world.
Although my husband was born in the Liu family in the south of the Yangtze River, he has been studying since he entered Dangyang Academy.
Although the old man's strong support is part of the reason why my husband has come to this day, most of the situation is because my husband has experienced it personally and struggled alone.
It's so easy to read on paper, but I know I have to do it in detail.
No matter how comprehensive my husband's arrangements for them are for some things, if these children don't personally experience the people's livelihood and government administration in various prefectures, they will not be able to be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. "
Qi Yunying pursed her lips a few times and glanced back at Liu Chengzhi and Liu Yaoyao, who were kneeling behind her.
"I understand your husband's hard work, but is it too early to let them go now?"
Qinglian also nodded in agreement and glanced at the children beside her: "Husband, my sister is right, Yiyi is the eldest sister of all the children, and she is only sixteen years old this year.
Visiting incognito and hunting on behalf of the heavens is an honor that only imperial ministers can have.
How could they bear such a heavy burden at their age?
You think you should not wait another two years until their minds have matured a little more..."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and directly planned Qinglian's words.
“The prince and princess in the Emperor’s Garden are still young in their teens?
If their husbands had allowed it, the three sisters Yiyi, Feifei, and Yaoyao should have been married off when they were fourteen years old two years ago, just like the ladies from other famous families.
Chengfeng and Chengzhi brothers should have started a family and started a business last year, opening a mansion and becoming kings.
Even Cheng Qian should open his palace and be crowned king after this year.
Tell your husband, how many brothers and sisters are there, which one is still young? "
Qinglian looked panicked and intertwined her fingers tightly: "I...I know I was wrong."
Liu Mingzhi felt heartbroken when he saw Qinglian's overwhelmed look.
"Lian'er, my husband didn't reprimand you. No matter how much your child is your own flesh and blood, you can't be too pampered.
Some things are too much and too little is too much. "
"Yes, I know."
"Riding the wind, Cheng Qian, Yaoyao."
"The child is here."
"The documents regarding the appearance of locust eggs in Yuzhou Prefecture this year were only handed over to Xiao Chengzi for approval by the three of you, right?"
The three brothers and sister nodded hurriedly: "It was jointly verified and approved by the three brothers and sisters. It has the approval of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the chief minister of the cabinet."
"Well! Don't be nervous.
As a father, I ask you that you have directed a series of disaster relief measures.
Then have you ever considered that there are a total of 13 state capitals under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Yuzhou, where the locust plague may be the most serious? Where is the least severe locust plague?
How can local and state capitals rely on their own emergency treasury to provide disaster relief on their own after receiving the order from the imperial court? "
The three siblings' expressions froze. They clasped their foreheads and muttered for a long time without an answer. They could only shake their heads at Young Master Liu in embarrassment.
"Dad, I know I was wrong."
"My father tells you that the locust plague in nine counties under the jurisdiction of Luozhou is the most serious, and the eight counties in Shangzhou are the least affected. Among them, Kaizhou and Xinzheng can provide disaster relief on their own.
If according to your instructions, all the disaster relief food from the imperial court will be transported to Yuzhou Prefecture.
How to mobilize food and grass at that time?
The disaster victims were most concerned about food at that time.
Once something goes wrong in the food mobilization, civil unrest will definitely occur.
Tell me, if there is a civil unrest, should you punish the governor of Yuzhou, or should you punish you for your negligence? "
"My child realizes his mistake."
"Chengzhi, Yiyi."
"The child is here."
"The document concerning the Huizhou flood disaster was signed jointly by you and your brother, right?"
"It was jointly issued by the brother and sister."
"Then have you ever considered that if flood control is carried out in accordance with the content of the Huizhou Governor's request in the document, how many neighboring state capitals may be affected by floods?
Think about the location of Huizhou before answering "father". "
The two siblings looked at each other. Liu Chengzhi thought for a while and then looked at Young Master Liu with lack of confidence.
"Four...four?"
"It's nine."
"Ah? Why are there so many?"
"You know a lot too! If flood control is carried out in accordance with the request of the Governor of Huizhou Prefecture, the entire two sides of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers and even Huzhou and Yuzhou will be affected by floods.
After saving more than 300,000 people in Huizhou Prefecture, more than one million people in the other nine prefectures and prefectures were affected by the floods.
Yan Wenhai, the governor of Huizhou, is the father-in-law of Huizhou. He must consider the people under his rule.
But you are the princes of the current dynasty, and your eyes should not be set on the people of a government, a state, a county, or a place.
You should put it on all the people in the world.
It has been two years since I entered the Palace of Ten Kings. I don’t know where the neighboring state capitals on both sides of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers are flooded or flooded, and how many state capitals will be affected.
What did I ask you to do when I asked you to enter the Palace of Ten Kings and take power? Are you being asked to play house?
ah? snort! "
Young Master Liu's cold snort full of questioning silenced everyone in the study. Even the little cutie who knew how to please his father huddled his neck in his collar, not daring to make any sound.
Qi Yun and the other girls also nodded and lowered their eyebrows, not daring to say any more words of mercy.
They themselves didn't know that the husband who seemed to be idle all day long, hanging around the fortune-telling stall and fooling all the ladies in the past, and who was deeply resentful of his wife, actually knew everything about the world.
Listen to what your husband meant just now, and then look at the reactions of your children.
It seems to be a bit disappointing.
"My father plans to let you take the position of imperial envoy, pay private visits incognito, patrol hunting on behalf of the sky, go to various state capitals to see with your own eyes the customs and customs of Dalong people, and supervise whether the officials in various state capitals abide by the law.
This was an impromptu idea for my father, and I didn’t intend to tell the world.
During the Spring Festival, when all officials take a break, it best reflects the true situation of people's livelihood and official governance in a place.
There is only one person to be a father, and there is no way to do both.
Let you take my father's place and see the true appearance of my Dalong Jiangshan.
As the saying goes, a fallen leaf can reveal the world.
As a father, I hope that you can take a peek and know the whole picture.
I have celebrated the New Year at home many times, so this year I will go to people’s homes and visit them.
Are you still willing?
If anyone doesn’t want to, I won’t force you.
If you are willing, that would be great.
Our family is different from other families in that we don’t engage in intrigues and fights for power and gain.
My father's hope is that all of you can truly understand the hardships of people's lives.
Only then can you understand how your life today came to be. "
Liu Mingzhi's children looked at their father's slightly forlorn back toward the stove and nodded involuntarily.
"My child is willing to obey daddy's instructions."
