Wen Jin likes Xiao Yuchen's calligraphy.
The memorials approved by Xiao Yuchen were placed in front of her, and she patiently read them one by one.
Oh, it turns out that ministers are not reporting all major national events, right?
There are actually many trivial things... For example, an official in a certain place said that next month is the Longevity Festival. He asked the emperor to allow him to come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.
Xiao Yuchen approved, the friendship is accepted, no need to travel back and forth, work hard, and you are not allowed to come to Beijing.
There is also a memorial saying that it had not rained in a certain place for two months. The official who submitted the memorial was afraid that the land would be dry, so he prayed to the Buddha to pray for rain. After begging three times, it finally rained. Thank you for God's grace.
Regarding the matter of praying for rain during drought, I wrote one line of flattery and took more than two pages...
Xiao Yuchen’s reply: I have read it.
Wen Jin couldn't help but laugh. In just three words, Wen Jin seemed to see the MMP in his heart under his expressionless face. This job is really boring.
I just don’t know how much of this kind of trivial stuff accounts for a large proportion?
"Alas..." Xiao Yuchen sighed, "Actually, Yu'er is getting older. It's time for him to learn to review memorials."
Wen Jin:? ? ? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
"I know that a lot of it is bullshit, but if I don't want to be deceived by my subordinates, I can't push this job out.
"They don't dare to treat me as 'blind' unless I personally review them one by one."
Xiao Yuchen turned his face sideways, holding his chin, looking at Wen Jin, and gently caressing Wen Jin's belly.
"When can daddy read stories to Ning Xiner?"
He started again...
Wen Jin said helplessly, "If you don't mind, I can help you read it too? Pick out the useful ones, and just mark the ones with 'I have read' and put them aside?"
Xiao Yuchen's eyes immediately lit up, "Is it too hard on you?"
Wen Jin nodded, "Yes, then can I leave?"
Xiao Yuchen immediately divided a third of the memorial and placed it in front of her.
"I don't worry about others, how can I still worry about Jin'er!"
The two of them were sitting on the same imperial table, no more than two and a half elbows apart. They could feel each other's breath and hear each other's sound of turning the folds.
This boring thing seems to be no longer boring when two people do it together.
On the contrary, it adds a lot of indescribable fun.
…
The next day at the court meeting, Banxia was indeed waiting outside the palace.
The courtiers took a look and saw that the female official was here again.
They couldn't help but secretly guess...what idea did the Queen have up?
The active ministers were thinking that the Queen seemed to be a bit of a "weirdo". I wonder if I could follow her example and gain fame and fortune this time?
The old-fashioned ministers were thinking...when will the emperor be able to correct his husband and his wife? This woman is almost covering half of the sky!
Maybe one day in the future, female officials won't even have to wait outside the court hall... but will sit on an equal footing with them and go to court together in this hall!
The old-fashioned ministers were feeling indignant in their hearts.
Xiao Yuchen has announced that Banxia will enter the palace to report.
"Thanks to your Majesty, through trade, there are now close contacts between Daliang and the surrounding countries of Song, Chen and Qi.
“The country is getting rich, and the people are becoming increasingly prosperous. The number of children who can go to school at school age has increased significantly.
"However, outside the Tianlong Continent, there are many opportunities and treasures, waiting to be discovered and mined by brave warriors who dare to take risks!
"Our Daliang shipbuilding industry is not the most developed in the Tianlong Continent, but we can take this opportunity to improve our Daliang shipbuilding technology and conquer the sea, making our Daliang a truly strong man inside and outside the Tianlong Continent! Become an incomparable existence. !”
Banxia doesn't talk much on weekdays, but when speaking at court meetings, her words are sonorous and powerful.
Even those ministers who looked down upon women did not dare to look down upon her at this moment.
On the contrary, some people secretly lamented...women are so ambitious! How dare you think!
Xiao Yuchen was very satisfied with this speech.
After singing on a high note, it’s time to talk about the “implementation” strategy.
"Empress Sui suggested that a shipyard be built in Dagu and gather talented craftsmen from all over Daliang who are good at shipbuilding.
"And train the navy... to prepare for future voyages!"
The content of Banxia's presentation was previously drawn up by the East Palace, and with additions and modifications by Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin, it became even more complete.
The ministers were momentarily stunned.
Some people have already understood... This is not a momentary thought, I am afraid it has been prepared for a long time.
Otherwise, how could I even think of very detailed things?
But some people are still stunned.
Xiao Yuchen said: "I think it's very good! Maritime power is very important. By building big ships, coastal transportation will benefit first. Strong maritime power can also lay a solid foundation for exploring farther seas in the future!
"The Department of Shipping should be established to be responsible for large shipyards and all aspects of shipping."
Xiao Yuchen didn't ask his subordinates "what they thought" at all. This kind of polite talk between monarchs and ministers.
He just put the final word on it.
Some ministers could not stand immediately and were about to take a step forward to remonstrate, "The emperor acted too hastily."
It's just that the minister hasn't spoken yet.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was listening on the sidelines, spoke first, "Father, this move is too anxious and seems to be rash."
The prince never openly opposed the emperor at a court meeting.
This is the first time!
So the ministers who were about to speak couldn't help but be stunned and looked at the prince one after another.
I saw that Yu'er was calm and steady, not anxious or impatient, "The wind and waves on the sea are very strong, and the existing ships in Daxia can only carry out river transportation on the river with a relatively simple water condition."
"My son looked through the books and found no records of long voyages, which shows that this matter was not easy.
"It is good to have such lofty ideals, but we should also take our time... Setting up a maritime department for this purpose is a bit exaggerated."
When the ministers heard this, some nodded.
The emperor accepted all the suggestions made by the empress and did not allow them to refute them.
it's good now! Even the prince can't stand it anymore! Someone can speak for them!
Those ministers who wanted to oppose looked at the prince with stern eyes and supported him with eager eyes.
Some ministers think more than others...
"The Crown Prince is young and has always been very obedient to the Emperor and Queen's wishes...Why did he take the lead to oppose this time?"
The court meeting was buzzing with discussions among the ministers.
The emperor looked at the prince, and the prince also looked up at his father.
The father and son seemed to be engaged in a silent wrestling...
When the ministers saw that no one was stopping their discussion, they began to speak louder and louder.
"I heard that the prince supported this matter at first, and the East Palace also summoned many capable people and craftsmen..."
"Yes, the prince also took people to the palace library to look for various books about his experiences at sea..."
"Then today..."
"Don't you know? This matter was originally assigned to the prince, but for some reason, the Queen's people are now responsible for it, so the prince stopped doing it!"
"What does your Majesty want to do?"
…
Xiao Yuchen cleared his throat.
The court meeting immediately fell silent, and the ministers were keenly sniffing whether the father and son, and the one in the harem... were inevitably involved in a power struggle?
"Just because there is no record, it means that this matter is a pioneering work! Unprecedented efforts and attention should be invested in it!"
