Yi Jing, Ye Mansion
Bai Yuanyuan, who was lying on the bed during confinement, looked at the little baby in her arms with contentment, and a happy smile unconsciously filled her face... ·········
Compared to her last pregnancy, Bai Yuanyuan had a harder time because of her increasing age. The pregnancy reaction was very serious. She vomited after eating. Sometimes she was already very nauseous, but she still had to force herself to continue eating.
In addition to physical difficulties, because Bai Yuanyuan herself and all the Bai family members are very much looking forward to Bai Yuanyuan giving birth to a son for Ye Mingsheng, Bai Yuanyuan also bears considerable psychological pressure.
For Bai Yuanyuan, she is already thirty-five years old this year and has given birth to a daughter, Ye Xingtong. Although Ye Mingsheng's favor has not diminished, Bai Yuanyuan can already feel that she is slowly aging, which is very difficult for Bai Yuanyuan to accept. .
Bai Yuanyuan knew very well that in this Ye family, the most indispensable thing was young and beautiful women, and she was not like An Miaoyi, who had the status of a lady, like Murong Qingwu, who had an extremely powerful natal family, and she was not like Pei Zhixiu. You and Ye Mingsheng have a relationship that started at a young age.
Therefore, although Ye Mingsheng is not indifferent to her now, when she gets old and loses her beauty, Ye Mingsheng will inevitably stay farther and farther away from her.
Bai Yuanyuan thought of the only solution to this situation, which was to give birth to a son for Ye Mingsheng and use the child to tie down Ye Mingsheng... ······
Driven by such thoughts, Bai Yuanyuan is also under a lot of pressure. In addition, because the last time she was pregnant, she gave birth to a daughter after extremely high expectations, so Bai Yuanyuan is also afraid that this pregnancy will make the same mistake as the last time.
It was a little better at the beginning of her pregnancy. Bai Yuanyuan was immersed in the joy of being pregnant again. However, as the pregnancy progressed, she became more and more anxious and sometimes would wake up from nightmares.
Although Ye Mingsheng occasionally came to comfort her and comfort her, it was impossible for Ye Mingsheng, who was busy with official duties, to accompany her every night. Bai Yuanyuan still had to deal with the pressure herself.
For this reason, Bai Yuanyuan has prayed to God more than once, hoping that God can open his eyes and let her get her wish!
And maybe God really took pity on Bai Yuanyuan's hard work. This time, he really allowed Bai Yuanyuan to give birth to a boy. When she learned the result, Bai Yuanyuan really cried with joy, feeling that all her efforts and hard work were worth it. !
Just when Bai Yuanyuan was enjoying the warm family time, Ye Mingsheng also came to her side, and Bai Yuanyuan's expression brightened when she saw Ye Mingsheng's appearance.
Looking at Bai Yuanyuan, who was full of maternal glory, Ye Mingsheng was also very emotional. He whispered a lot of whispers to Bai Yuanyuan around the child to soothe Bai Yuanyuan's mood... ·····
Seeing Ye Mingsheng cherishing his son so much, Bai Yuanyuan felt very sweet in her heart, and she even saw a bright future. Suddenly Bai Yuanyuan seemed to have thought of something, and asked Ye Mingsheng with great expectancy:
"Ms. sir, what are you going to name your son?"
Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked a little embarrassed.
It has been three days since Bai Yuanyuan gave birth to the child. He originally planned to look for classics to give the child a name, but he has been busy with official duties these days, so this matter has been forgotten by him. If Bai Yuanyuan hadn't given birth today, Speaking of which, Ye Mingsheng still didn't remember this.
However, feeling Bai Yuanyuan's fiery gaze, Ye Mingsheng knew that it would be too hurtful if he told the truth, so he made up a reason and said:
"I have read through the Analects of Confucius and university classics in the past few days. I want to give Lin'er a good name, but unfortunately I have never found a suitable one. Naming is a big thing and will follow the child throughout his life. It cannot be casual and must be carefully considered. Yuanyuan, you Give me a few more days and I will give my child a very good meaning!"
Bai Yuanyuan was very happy when she heard what Ye Mingsheng said. She felt that Ye Mingsheng valued herself and her children very much. Just when she was about to say something, she thought of the past, and raised her red lips slightly and said with some complaint:
"This time, husband, you have to be very selective. You can't give your child the name of your old sweetheart anymore..."
Hearing what Bai Yuanyuan said, Ye Mingsheng was also very helpless. Knowing that Bai Yuanyuan would never forget about Xingtong in this life, he immediately explained again that he did not have an old sweetheart named Xingtong at all, but Bai Yuanyuan seemed to be confused about this. I don’t believe it at all.
After staying with Bai Yuanyuan for a while, Ye Mingsheng also checked on the status of his daughter Ye Xingtong. Because he had always wanted a boy, Bai Yuanyuan didn't particularly like his eldest daughter.
Normally, Bai Yuanyuan would just fulfill her mother's duties and responsibilities. Now that Bai Yuanyuan got what she wanted, her love for her daughter has naturally weakened.
After playing with Xiao Xingtong for a while, Ye Mingsheng also warned Bai Yuanyuan to pay attention to Xiao Xingtong's feelings, and that children should be treated equally without distinction.
After Ye Mingsheng's warning, Bai Yuanyuan also realized her problem, and wanted Ye Mingsheng to ensure that they were all her children, and that she would definitely treat Xingtong well so that Ye Mingsheng could rest assured.
After finishing these busy official duties, Ye Mingsheng also wanted to go back to deal with official duties. He immediately told Bai Yuanyuan to take good care of herself and her children and he would come back to see her in a few days.
After bidding farewell to Bai Yuanyuan, Ye Mingsheng returned to his study. Gu Sansi and Zhao Han were already in the study, waiting for Ye Mingsheng's arrival... ·············
After meeting Ye Mingsheng, Gu Sansi introduced him to Ye Mingsheng.
"Commander, Chief of Staff Zhao and I have already discussed the new reward and pension plan for our officers and men, and now I will report to you!"
"After what you mentioned last time, we believe that the main purpose of this matter is publicity, so that the soldiers will realize that this new plan is for their benefit and helps to better manage wealth!"
"We plan to send some publicity teams to the front line and perform some programs for the soldiers on the front line. We will remake these programs using some real examples!"
"For example, after our soldiers returned from victory and received rewards and pensions from above, it was originally a happy thing, but they became addicted to the land of fireworks. Not only did they use up all the rewards, they also contracted the disease. , and finally recovered with the help of the military!"
"Furthermore, after a soldier of our army died in battle, his brother and sister-in-law received a pension. Originally, this pension was to support his parents at home according to the soldier's personal wishes. However, he did not expect that all the pension for his brother and sister-in-law was spent, and both parents The story of being left alone and helpless without anyone to care for you, and finally enjoying your old age with the help of our army!”
While talking, Gu Sansi handed a stack of files to Ye Mingsheng and introduced:
"Sir, the two stories I told you are based on real cases. They are Du Daniu in Youyan and Liu Huaisheng in Liaoyang. We have also planned several programs like this, and they all have real cases. exist···························"
"After these programs are performed on the front lines, we plan to withdraw from this new plan and let the frontline soldiers freely choose which plan for rewards and pensions!"
Seeing Gu Sansi's plan, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction. Gu Sansi came to him a few days ago and submitted his plan.
But Ye Mingsheng felt that it was too stiff and was not satisfied, so he sent the plan back to Gu Sansi, and suggested that Gu Sansi could perform these examples in the form of opera, which would be easier for the front line to understand than dry words. The soldiers felt the same way.
In this way, it firstly plays the role of expressing condolences to the workers, and secondly, it also pave the way for the new reward and pension plan to follow.
Ye Mingsheng can already imagine that after these shows are performed, the frontline soldiers will definitely welcome the new plan. They will not think that this is because the Fengwu Army has financial problems and has to temporarily reduce expenditures, but that it is because the Fengwu Army is doing something good. Solve their troubles for their sake.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng still feels a little ashamed, but there is no way to attack Guanzhong as soon as possible and seize the political power of Luo'an, the great Zhou Dynasty.
To control the economic center, the Fengwu Army must increase its personnel on a large scale to the front line. If it wants to increase its personnel, it must reduce its current expenditure. Although some sacrifices are helpless and painful, they must be made... ···············
Ye Mingsheng felt that the only thing he could do was to fulfill his promise to the frontline soldiers after capturing Luo'an and unifying the world, giving him enough money and disbursing the promised subsidies in full.
Only in this way can we live up to the trust that the frontline soldiers have in the Fengwu Army and Marshal Ye!
Putting down the plan submitted by Gu Sansi, Ye Mingsheng asked in a deep voice;
"How much money is expected to be saved after this plan is implemented?"
Gu Sansi heard this and said without thinking:
"The finance department estimates that at least 200,000 taels of silver can be saved, but I think this estimate is very conservative. My estimate is at least 300,000 taels!"
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng was quite satisfied. If he could really have 300,000 taels left, then so much work would not be in vain.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng looked at Zhao Han who was silent and asked;
"With the three hundred thousand taels of silver saved, has the staff calculated how many soldiers it can arm and train?"
Faced with Ye Mingsheng's question, Zhao Han thought for a moment and said:
"The staff department prepared preparations for training the 13th and 14th Divisions as early as half a year ago. All materials have been prepared. As long as the money is in place, we can officially start training!"
"Because they are all reserve soldiers, they don't need much training. It only takes about a month to complete the training and join the battlefield in Yunhe... ·····》
Regarding Zhao Han's answer, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"I am very satisfied with your work. Now your plan can be officially implemented!"
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's permission, Gu Sansi and Zhao Han were both a little excited, and immediately said goodbye to Ye Mingsheng and prepared to go back and start implementation.
After these two people left, Ye Mingsheng was also preparing to leave Ye Mansion. According to the schedule, he should now inspect the factory of the First Manufacturing Administration in Yijing, listen to the work report of the First Manufacturing Administration, and meet with representatives of the craftsmen there. Have a dinner together.
However, just when Ye Mingsheng was about to leave, Ye Cheng came over and said that An Miaoyi wanted to see him for something.
Because he was in a hurry to go to the factory of the First Manufacturing Administration, Ye Mingsheng planned to let An Miaoyi wait until he came back in the evening to talk about anything, or tell him not to worry the next day.
After giving the instructions, Ye Mingsheng, surrounded by guards, prepared to take a carriage to the factory of the First Manufacturing Administration.
However, unexpected events occurred. Before Ye Mingsheng's carriage left the house, the sky suddenly started to rain heavily.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
I came in again and reported:
"Sir, the eldest lady is here and she wants to see you for something important!"
Hearing what Ye Cheng said, Ye Mingsheng was also a little curious. Why was An Miaoyi so anxious to find him? He pondered for a moment and then nodded.
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's instruction, Ye Cheng immediately bowed and left. A moment later, An Miaoyi slowly walked into Ye Mingsheng's study.
Looking at An Miaoyi walking towards him, Ye Mingsheng asked directly:
"Miaoyi, did something happen at home?"
An Miaoyi nodded and said:
"There are a few small things that I want to ask my husband for your opinion on!"
Hearing what An Miaoyi said, Ye Mingsheng knew very well that this trivial matter was probably not trivial at all, otherwise An Miaoyi, who had always been calm, would not be so anxious to see him. He immediately pointed to the chair beside him and signaled An Miaoyi sat down and said to herself····························
