Vol 2 Chapter 912: Fall into the pit

"His Royal Highness King Qin is brave and brave and may not be willing to step by step."
Master Lu was always worried about Liu Zhao.
Anyone in the upper ranks hopes that all political reforms will have immediate results.
Immediately, it means making a big deal.
However, large and small people, the Great Zhou Dynasty can not withstand drastic changes.
Move too hard, beware of capsizing.
Only gradual progress, moisturizing things to carry out changes silently.
In this way, it will take several years or even more than ten years to see the effect.
Does the superior have this patience?
Master Lu was very suspicious.
The Liu family does not have much patience.
Gu Jiu smiled, "The adults were worried about Liu Zhao's conservative and stubbornness at first, but now they worry about his eagerness for success. Why is Liu Zhao's image in the adults' minds always extreme?"
Master Lu said: "The princess should not ask the official about this question, but should ask His Royal Highness Qin himself. His words and deeds give people the impression that it is easy to go to extremes. Compared with His Majesty, His Highness Qin's character is more gloomy. A person. His character will affect his way of doing things, and His Royal Highness King Qin can't let people rest assured."
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, "This is a typical prejudice. Not to mention military and military aspects, but Liu Zhao's years of experience in the court, including when the first emperor was still alive, has he ever been radical and brave? Back then, he was a errand in the Ministry of War. Act in accordance with the court’s laws. Leaving the Ministry of War and arriving in Shangshu Province, I never caused any trouble. Adults should not treat Liu Zhao with prejudice."
Master Lu did not approve of Gu Jiu's words, he denied: "His Royal Highness Qin was able to act in accordance with the court's laws. From the official's point of view, it was all due to the princess. Obviously, the princess was able to control the emotions of His Royal Highness well."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I am very glad that the adults recognized my efforts over the years. I was able to help Liu Zhao control his emotions in the past, and I can do the same in the future."
"What if? In case of an accident..."
"Even if there is an accident," Gu Jiu interrupted Master Lu. "The grumpy Liu Zhao has a more general view than the other princes. He knows what to do and not to do."
Master Lu shook his head frequently.
Gu Jiu poured tea into the teacup, and said, "My lord is just unfounded worry."
"The officer has to worry about nothing."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "After so many years of hard work, this princess has created these foundations right now. Let's not hide it from your lord, I will not allow anyone to destroy the current good situation, and neither will Liu Zhao."
Liu Zhao dared to mess around, and she had 108 ways to clean him up.
Master Lu was dumbfounded on the spot.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, with a gentle and harmless appearance.
Master Lu was surprised, how did Gu Jiu say his ambitious words in such a gentle tone.
He tentatively said: "In this case, it is the princess that is in charge of matters large and small in the Qin Palace."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I am in charge of the small things, and Liu Zhao is the master of the big things. But our family hasn't happened for many years."
Upon hearing this, Master Lu felt sad for Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao's dignified prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, was actually afraid of being inside.
No wonder there is not even a concubine room for many years.
Master Lu wiped his face and gave Liu Zhao a tear of sympathy.
"Masters don't have to worry about what hasn't happened. It's better to think in the right direction."
"The official also wants to be as optimistic as possible, but the fact is that the court is worried about internal and external troubles. If it had not been supported by the government, the court would have been unable to make ends meet and had to levy taxes and corvee."
"The current situation is more than ten times better than that of previous dynasties, and the adults have made great contributions."
Lord Lu waved his hand again and again, "This official has self-knowledge. Although this official looks down on Li Bingming's actions, but the court has today's situation, thanks to Li Bingming's years of hard work."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded.
Lord Lu was indeed a gentleman, and did not deny Lord Li's credit.
"The princess intends to plant sweet potatoes on the front line of the border. Does it make adults feel better?"
Master Lu had a horrible expression on his face, "Wang Hao is sure to grow sweet potatoes at the frontier? Not afraid of losing money."
"You can't lose money. I wonder if the adults have been to the Northwest?"
Master Lu shook his head, he had never been to the northwest.
Gu Jiu said: "I have lived in Jinzhou, northwestern China for many years, and I still know the local area. There are many people in the border area who live on grazing. Because the border is not peaceful, the herders dare not go deep into the grassland to graze and can only stay near the border for many years. Grazing. Because of overgrazing, the pastures in the border area have basically become sandy. When it comes to windy days, the dust will blow up and cover the sky.
These sandy pastures cannot grow millet or rice or wheat. The only species that can be grown is sweet potatoes. The border is long, with tens of thousands of hectares, 100,000 hectares, or even millions of hectares waiting for people to cultivate. The princess intends to build the largest sweet potato brewery in Dazhou. I wonder if the adults are interested in participating? "
Master Lu's head was a little dizzy, he rubbed his eyebrows, "Now there is a war in Bianguan."
"I know."
"Where did the madam find someone to reclaim the land to grow sweet potatoes?"
"Those prisoners of war are ready-made labor. The army gave me a prisoner of war. The prisoner's wages are calculated at a 50% discount to the market price, and all belong to the army. I think the Northwest Metropolitan Government and the Northwest Army are very happy to do this. Buying and selling. Why not make money if you save food."
Master Lu shook his head again and again, "The thoughts of the princess are too crazy and bold."
"Don't be crazy, how can there be cement roads, how can there be Xinmin County, how can there be Sanhe Express, how can there be a four-wheeled carriage?"
Master Lu smiled clearly, "So the princess asked Hubu Shangshu to revoke the prohibition?"
Gu Jiu generously admitted, "Prohibition is like a curse. I don't know when it will be used by others. It's better to revoke it directly."
Master Lu said with emotion: "The princess has far-reaching plans, and this official is willing to go down."
Gu Jiu was rarely humble, "My lord is absurd, I am a layman, I just want to make money."
If you have a lot of sweet potato wine, you can consider making distilled wine.
Sweet potatoes are not the staple food, so there is no need to worry about the people's food rations in peace.
Master Lu sighed, he seemed unable to oppose Gu Jiu. The other party always has a way to persuade him.
He asked: "What does the princess need the official?"
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "If necessary, please support Liu Zhao firmly. He is worth your expectation."
"The official is more willing to look forward to the son Yu."
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, "Brother Yu is too young and has too little experience to be able to take on major tasks."
Master Lu laughed, "The princess abducted Ren Qiu and Zhou Shian, what else can the officer do?"
"My lord's words are too serious. I didn't abduct them, and I didn't have the ability to abduct them. I just provided them with an opportunity, a choice. Obviously, the opportunity I provided is more in line with their wishes."
"The princess was the one who kidnapped me with her three-inch tongue!" Master Lu complained.
Is it easy to win over a talent?
Is it easy to cultivate a talent?
not easy!
As a result, the talent he got was abducted halfway, and he was very sad.
Obviously, he went to the door to ask the guilty teacher, and in turn was persuaded by the other party, in the end he had to run errands for the other party.
Does this count as an initiative to send you home to find abuse?
Master Lu has been an official for dozens of years, and he has never been so sad.
"The adult has a lot of emotions, and it's moving." Gu Jiu stood still and couldn't speak.
Master Lu sighed again and again, "My official is leaving!"
Can't stay here and listen to Gu Jiu's "nonsense", he is afraid of accidentally jumping into the pit.
"I'll take the adults out."
"The princess stopped, and the officer went out by himself. Since Zhou Shian has gone to Shanhe Academy, please be kind to the princess for his talent."
"My lord, rest assured, Mr. Zhou's talent will definitely shine."
"I hope so! When Renqiu comes back from his study tour, he will still be mine, and Wang Feixiu will him from me."
"Mr. Ren is Da Zhou's treasure, no one can take it away."
Master Lu hummed, "Wang Feixiu wants to play word games in front of the official."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "If you don't want to leave, you might as well have another cup of tea."
"I'm full."
Master Lu walked away without looking back.
Gu Jiu laughed, it's not easy to let Master Lu suffer.
Thinking that Zhou Shian was taken away by Master Lu, she was upset for several days.
...
The Northwest Metropolitan Government House.
Governor Li Bingming, Lord Li, took the letter sent from the capital and read it several times.
Yang Ji walked in with the military newspaper.
"Little Yang is here! This is a letter sent by Princess Qin, Xiao Yang, come and have a look."
Yang Ji put down the military newspaper and read the letter word by word.
After a while.
Master Li asked, "Have you finished reading it? Tell me what you think?"
Yang Ji deliberately said: "It is a fantasy to plant sweet potatoes at the border. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to do this by someone else. If you do it as Princess Qin, everything is possible."
"What you mean is that the officer should keep all the captives and sell them to Princess Qin as coolies."
"This method is good, it saves food and has income."
Master Li considered the feasibility of this matter, "The border is at war. Guess where Princess Qin plans to grow sweet potatoes?"
Yang Ji turned out the map, thought for a while, and pointed to the northwest corner, "This area is not a battleground for military strategists. There is almost no war. You can start here."
"Is there a source of water?"
"Yes. The snow on the mountain melts and there is a water source."
Master Li nodded, "You write back to Princess Qin, telling her that this matter can be discussed. Let her send someone over and negotiate with the governor. In addition, write to the Shaofu, asking Shaofu to replace all the ordnance with Made of fine iron. The governor does not want to see weapons made of pig iron. If the young man cannot replace the weapons on time, the governor must go to a young man, so that the yellow horse can't eat it."
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Li murmured again, "Huang Lu is not capable of flattering. It depends on having a good son to have the opportunity to serve as the Order of the Young Mansion. Princess Qin was also blind, so she chose Huang Luma as the Order of the Young Mansion. , Really delayed things."
Yang Ji whispered: "After all, there are not many people who can reassure Princess Qin, and Huang Ma is the most suitable candidate."
Master Li was dissatisfied, "Prince Qin should seek the advice of the old man. She is looking for someone to take over as the order of the young man. The old man can recommend ten people to her, no, twenty people."
Yang Ji reminded in a low voice, "The post of the family order of the young mansion must be held by the clan or a relative."
哐!
Master Li directly kicked over the small bench.
