…
Zhou Qianben did not sleep in the first half of the night because he had to coordinate all parties to deal with the crisis of this war.
After finally falling asleep, he received news about Ning Wuchang's assassination. He hurriedly sent Su Peiyuan there and summoned King Kang and Zhou Jingxian, father and daughter, into the palace.
"Old Fourteen, you should also know that at this time, compared with other things, fighting Beidi is the most important goal. If war breaks out, I want to send you to the border to fight in my place. Are you willing to go?"
Before King Kang entered the palace, he had guessed that his father might give him an important task.
Because King Jin was not in the capital and such a big thing happened, his father could only let him take the lead.
But he didn't expect that he would take on such a heavy burden.
Fighting for his father is a God-given opportunity, but it also comes with a huge crisis.
Fighting for his father, no matter whether he wins or not, by the time he returns to the court, he will definitely be the best choice for the crown prince among his subjects.
only.
If something unexpected happened to the father while he was on an expedition, he would be thousands of miles away in the north and unable to return to the capital to preside over any matters, and would have to let the prince in the capital take care of the trouble.
Although after two deposed princes, except for King Jin and him, all the other princes have been sent to their fiefdoms and are not allowed to enter the capital without an edict.
But the one who needs to be most careful is the King of Jin who is seriously ill in Weizhou Mansion.
"Old Fourteen, what do you think?"
"Back to my father, I am willing to fight for Beidi for my father!"
King Kang knew the pros and cons of this. According to the current situation, it would actually be safer for him not to go to the north.
But in this life, you can't just be safe when doing things, you must also follow your heart.
"When I was young, I had a dream to conquer the world on horseback just like my father. Unfortunately, my martial arts were not good enough and my luck was not good. I did not have this opportunity. Now I have this opportunity to realize my dream and share my father's worries. Moreover, my son has grown up and can stay in the capital to fulfill his filial piety for me, so I have no worries!"
King Kang's words made Zhou Qian very pleased.
He knew that King Kang was not like King Jin, who liked to talk nicely to make him happy.
Since he said he wanted to go, he must have made plans, and when he mentioned his descendants, he had made plans to leave and never come back.
"Old Fourteen, don't rush to talk about your dream of conquering the world. If the war is stalemate, I need you to go on my behalf. If Beidi is destroyed with one step, you will not be needed."
"..."
King Kang was prepared for the worst.
In the end, my father was just testing it out.
This left him speechless.
Zhou Qian also realized that his temptation might break his son's heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The incident happened suddenly, and the war in Beidi broke out. Other neighboring countries that were eyeing the war must also follow suit and start a war against Daxing.
When choosing the crown prince at this time, we can't just stick to success, but make progress.
King Kang is more suitable than King Jin.
"Girl Jingxian, I have informed the Ministry of Industry during the day to cast horseshoes and other items first, but we must first settle the internal affairs. The goods received by the Ministry of Industry must be completed as scheduled. In addition, there will definitely be more after the competition. I will hand in I’ll give you the power to expand the Ministry of Industry and recruit more people from the private sector.”
"I know that this matter is a great challenge for you. You won't be able to find so many people for a while, but I hope you can understand the difficulties of the Ministry of Works at this time. If there is really no other way, you can go Ask Ning Aiqing."
It’s not that Zhou Qian relied too much on Ning Wuhao.
In fact, Ning Wuhuang had a lot of clever ideas and was very good at overall planning.
Zhou Jingxian was already overwhelmed just to cope with the recent increase in orders from the engineering department and to coordinate with the craftsmen of the engineering department to create the ornaments needed for the competition.
After receiving this appointment, when I left the Imperial Study Room, I almost missed my step and rolled down the steps.
Fortunately, her father had quick eyesight and quick hands to help her.
"Jingxian, thank you for your hard work."
If possible, King Kang also wanted to share his daughter's worries and relieve some pressure.
But he really had no idea about the Ministry of Works increasing its manpower.
"Father, you don't have to worry about me. Just like Grandpa Huang said, if I have any problems, I can ask Mr. Ning for help."
Mr. Ning is Zhou Jingxian’s last source of confidence and support.
When King Kang heard her words, his expression was very complicated. The father and daughter walked out of the palace together until they reached the corridor that was almost in front of the palace gate.
Prince Kang whispered: "Jingxian, if you have a chance, help me and ask Lord Ning why your grandpa the emperor blames me for only being close to gentlemen and not paying attention to villains..."
He briefly talked about his experiences and problems.
Zhou Jingxian, who was originally involved in a lawsuit because of the Ministry of Industry, only felt that one was a big deal.
"Father, are you paying too much attention to Grandpa Huang's reaction and misunderstanding what Grandpa Huang means?"
"No, please ask for help. If it doesn't work, if I have a chance, I will go to the house and ask myself."
King Kang saw that his daughter and father both trusted and relied on Ning Wushu, and he no longer had any doubts about this man's abilities.
at the same time.
He also had a bold idea in his mind.
If Ning Wuhuang could really help him solve this confusion.
He wanted to ask Ning Wuhuang to be his husband so that he could answer his questions in the future.
Even though Ning Wuyan was younger than his daughter, he didn't stick to trivial matters when seeking talent, and his age didn't matter when it came to strength.
"Since my father is sure of Grandpa Huang's thoughts, I will ask him."
Zhou Jingxian, who returned to her mansion, took the opportunity to go to the hunting ground in the northern suburbs and sat in the same car with Ning Wuchang.
Let’s first throw out the difficult problems explained by Grandpa Huang.
Ning Wuyan knew that Zhou Jingxian suddenly asked to ride in the same carriage with him, and she was definitely there for something.
After hearing her question, after thinking about it for a while, I came up with a way to deal with it.
"The princess still remembers the village schools built in Jinling Mansion and various places in Jiangnan Province. Brother Cheng seems to have been preparing donations since he came to the capital. According to his efficiency, he should have built several."
Village learning?
Zhou Jingxian's words were revealed immediately, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. She felt a shock all over her body. She looked at Ning Wuyan's eyes with even more admiration.
"Mr. Ning means that students from the village school should directly go to the Ministry of Industry to work as apprentices or craftsmen to fill this vacancy?"
"Yes, pick the right one and use it. You can also distribute some tasks from the Ministry of Industry to various places, dispatch materials and manpower from various places, and save a lot of transportation costs."
Because orderers are not necessarily limited to the capital.
The materials are also gathered from various places to the Ministry of Industry for manufacturing.
But Ning Wushuang's proposal was based on local coordination rather than centralized supply. In addition to reducing costs, it could also alleviate the Ministry of Industry's problem of expanding workshops in the capital, where land was at a premium.
Coordination may be a little troublesome in the early stage, but as long as the flow of materials and labor across the country is achieved, it will undoubtedly be a great benefit to the country by reducing the expenditure of the Ministry of Industry, increasing the income of the Ministry of Industry, and promoting the development of craftsmen across the country.
"Mr. Ning, sometimes I am curious, how do you get such a brain?"
"How else can it grow? In the past, everything was filled with grass, but now it's filled with meat. In fact, the fundamental solution to the problem is to make reasonable use of the resources around us, such as heaven, earth, people, and things, and make reasonable arrangements, as small as ourselves. The same principle applies to how to use your time, from running a household to scheduling the whole family, rationally allocating needs and labor, to doing business in one city, to unifying six ministries and governing a country."
Zhou Jingxian nodded as if understanding.
It was rare to hear Mr. Ning mention the topic of governing the country. She took the opportunity to ask: "My father recently encountered a difficult problem and asked me to ask him to answer his questions. I hope he can listen to it."
As soon as these words came out.
Qin Shi, who had been sitting in the corner of the carriage with his arms folded, opened one eye and closed it again.
Ning Wuyang saw it but didn't take it to heart, and raised his head towards Zhou Jingxian.
"you say."
As for whether it can be solved.
He couldn't guarantee it.
